"That spear just now seemed to be spirit and martial arts merging into one?"
Zong Shou squinted his eyes and thought back to the feeling just now. No, it was still far from that. Not long ago, he used the lightning magnetic force to push the spear and also used all his strength to stimulate his true qi muscles. A total of 234 spears.
If it was true spirit and martial arts merging into one, then a thousand spears wouldn't be a problem. His strength wasn't something that he could control now. At that time, his strength wouldn't be any weaker than those peak Xuanwu ancestors who were 9 meridians of the earth chakra level.
Everything within a few thousand feet would turn into dust and sand.
However, this soul power and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth didn't conflict with the internal energy and vital energy in his body. Moreover, compared to a few days ago, they were much closer.
A simple explanation would be that in the past, his soul power and true qi were 1 + 1 = 1.5. Now, 1 + 1 = 2. Naturally, his strength had greatly increased.
If this went on, he might have some hope of merging spirit and martial arts …
He imagined in his heart that his strength would increase explosively, and then he would become the overlord of Donglin Cloud Continent. Zong Shou gave out a self-mocking laugh. It wasn't hard to coordinate soul power and true qi. Roughly when he broke through to the heaven meridian realm, he could slowly do it.
However, to merge the two, even those celestial realm experts were a few streets away from it. Even among the Saint Realm, there were very few who could do it.
As for himself, forget about the martial path. His spirit master foundations were actually really shallow. He didn't need to fantasize about it and couldn't force it.
Zong Shou gathered strength in his palm and a ball of flame suddenly spat out. It was actually a silver-white flame. Compared to the silver flame on Xiong Kui's body, apart from the color being slightly lighter and having some spiral energy characteristics, it was no different.
Xiong Kui who was half kneeling on the ground opened his eyes wide, "This is the emperor flame spiritual art! Where did you learn it from? "
Suddenly, he seemed to have thought about something. Xiong Kui's eyes were filled with shock as he looked at Zong Shou. His tone was one word at a time, filled with difficulty, "Was it just now? You only exchanged blows with me 6 times? "
At this moment, not only Xiong Kui, but even the other people around were startled. After exchanging blows for a short while, he was able to deduce the crux of a top-grade secret technique. Even an expert of the Immortal Martial Realm wouldn't be able to do that, right?
This level of talent was simply inhuman!
Zong Gang and Zong Yuan had always been curious as to how Zong Shou could possess such terrifying sword techniques. Deep Zi also seemed to have some attainments in spear techniques.
At this moment, they all revealed looks of realization. To be able to deduce an almost complete top-notch Secret Martial Art within a few dozen breaths. If such a person were to study the way of the sword, it would not be unacceptable for him to reach such a level within a few years of practicing martial arts.
Zong Shou was completely unaware of everyone's astonished gazes, and continued to study wholeheartedly. Only after an hour did he retract the silver flame in his hand.
He was still deep in thought. The reason why he wanted to learn this technique from Xiong Kui was mainly because of himself and Yiren. The Imperial Flame Spirit Art was passed down from the Ancient Cloud Desolate Era and was one of the strongest fire attribute techniques. Not only was it useful for him to perfect the world shocking spiritual art. It could also help him perfect Xuanyuan Yiren's cultivation method.
As for this secret technique being related to the legacy of the ancient Monster Emperor, he didn't think much about it.
In the future, in the library, he didn't see much detailed information about this.
He only knew that in the end, Blazing Flame Mountain did produce a strong person. It was said that he inherited the legacy of an ancient Monster Emperor. Not only was his martial strength strong, but he also built an elite cavalry that could compare to the Blood Cloud Cavalry. There were only two thousand of them, but they were invincible for a period of time.
During the Spiritual Wave Era, they were really strong. They once suppressed Donglin Cloud Continent, causing many sects to back off, occupying twenty odd provinces of land.
However, although this person rose up quickly, he also fell really quickly. In a short six years, he fell. Lingyun Sect, who had recovered a portion of their strength, gathered the experts of Donglin to surround and kill him. The one who died was really heroic.
That person shouldn't be this Xiong Kui in front of him right?
Zong Shou came back to his senses and looked carefully at this Blazing Flame Mountain prince whose body was dyed in blood.
Following which he shook his head slightly. Legend had it that when the Blazing Flame Mountain Monster King died, he suffered 149 punches, 221 swords, and there were also numerous spear wounds and knife wounds.
When he was about to die, he still went all out to kill. After dying together with two ascended ancestors, he died laughing out loud.
The image of this Xiong Kui in front of him was correct. However, his aura didn't seem like it.
There was no way this fellow could be so bold. When he read the biography of this person, he was really impressed. No matter what, he was unable to link this Xiong Kui with that person.
Breaking out into a laugh, only then did Zong Shou notice the shocked gazes of the people around.
He was first startled, and moments later he comprehended something. He couldn't help but frown. He didn't know how to explain this matter. Did he have to tell these few people that he had already seen this Imperial Flame Spirit Art book in his last life, and it included half of the contents?
Thinking about it carefully, it wasn't a bad thing. Zong Shou acted like he didn't know, keeping the sword in his hand. He still looked at Xiong Kui with deep meaning, "Since the matter is done, we can leave! As for this fellow, let people treat his injuries. If he doesn't die, let him take out the city defense map and follow. "
After saying that, he walked in the direction of the carriages in the distance.
Chu Xue was stunned. Moments later she hurriedly chased up, saying weirdly, "Young master, are we really not going to care about him? It's good that this Xiong Kui didn't run. Why would he follow? He isn't a fool? "
Zong Shou smiled, asking Zong Gang who was at the side, "If uncle was this Xiong Kui, would he follow?"
Zong Gang didn't hesitate to shake his head, "No!"
His gaze was really complicated as he stared deeply at Zong Shou, sizing him up. He felt both happy and unfamiliar. In that instance, it was like a ruler had returned. He remembered that in the past, when his brother Weiran asked him questions, he would use such a tone.
Gentle but didn't lose his majesty, calm but filled with confidence. He was also decisive when killing.
After being distracted for a moment, Zong Gang retracted all his thoughts, explaining, "The city defense map that this person revealed is just a small matter. However, this emperor flame spiritual art isn't small. If that person from Blazing Flame Mountain knows, even if Xiong Kui is his son, he will go all out to kill him! Apart from following us to Gantian Mountain, Xiong Kui has no other way out. "When he said that, even he didn't notice. Even when he didn't notice, his tone was filled with respect, like when Zong Weiran was still alive.
"So for such a person, even if we let him escape, it is okay!"
Zong Shou smiled, using his finger to flick Chu Xue's brow. Following which he asked casually, "Oh right! Uncle Gang has been to Oblivion Cloud Ocean, so do you know if my father is dead or alive? What is the situation over there? "
Zong Gang's body paused, suddenly feeling ashamed, suddenly filled with hatred. A moment later he clenched his fists, gritting his teeth, "I am useless, I have been in the Oblivion Cloud Ocean for many months and still don't know if the ruler is dead or alive. I only know that there are a few ascended ancestors waiting nearby. I had snuck in, but just as I reached the outer regions, I was forced to retreat … "
After hesitating slightly, Zong Gang pulled open the sleeve of his left arm. A small half of the muscles on his arm had rotted. It was already healing, but the greenish-purple color and the thick blood was still a ghastly sight. Zong Gang smiled bitterly, "This is just the outer regions. A grade 6 blood scorpion injured me. I heard that not only are there many poisonous creatures, but there are also numerous grade 7 and 8 beasts. With my estimation, the ruler is most probably dead. "
Zong Shou's brows furrowed before he calmed down. This Zong Gang really came to Oblivion Cloud Ocean and didn't just search the outer regions.
He was really loyal to Zong Weiran. However, this person didn't bother about Zong Weiran's 20 thousand personal troops, instead leading a thousand black fox iron cavalry to Oblivion Cloud Ocean. One could see that he wasn't a talent. A person who could only be a general and not a commander, this was the type of person.
If it wasn't for the ruler that Zong Weiran left being roped in, the Zong Shou in the last life might have had a chance of survival.

In this Ruohai Straits, Zong Shou only allowed his 5 thousand cavalry to rest for a night before they set off once more.
However, different from when they came a day ago, the Xuan Mountain Armored Cavalry were filled with high morale and high spirits. Occasionally when they looked at Zong Shou's carriage, their gazes were much gentler and filled with respect.
It wasn't because of the huge victory yesterday, but because Zong Shou ordered people to search for the corpses of those who died in battle and personally buried them. He also ordered people to carve a stone stele to mark it. At that time, when they bowed in front of the stone stele, half of their grievances were removed.
As for the remaining people, they were all rewarded with beast crystals and mind stones. Not only was it fair, but it was also exceptionally generous. Anyone who participated in the charge of the formation was given a heavy bag of beast crystals as well as pills that they snatched. Even at the back, those who protected the carriage formation were also given a lot of rewards. Especially those who died in battle, their families were guaranteed a few generations of food and clothing.
Even those thousand black fox iron cavalry were also rewarded for killing tens of spirit masters and 8 thousand elite soldiers.
Even if their prince didn't know martial arts or spells, at least he was generous and knew how to care for his soldiers.
However, what they didn't know was that Zong Shou was staring at his money bag in a daze. Only when the carriage left Ruohai Straits did he sigh and shift his gaze away.
Actually, as compared to those energy destroying spirit upheaval talismans, the compensation and rewards weren't much. Although his heart hurt, it wasn't worth it for him to do that.
What Zong Shou was worried about now was the future.
At that time, all the heroes would rise up and there would be wars every year in Donglin Cloud Continent. The various cities and sects would have endless conflicts. If each time it was such a loss of blood, what would happen? (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
