Inside the ruined temple.
Gu Qingying's expression was gloomy. "Uncle's swordsmanship was brilliant. I couldn't hold back during a life-and-death battle … After I killed him, I went up to check and found that he was not wearing a human skin mask. He was really my uncle. My heart sank then …"
"After that, Old Man Wang and his wife, the Eight-Armed Evil Woman Xu Changpu, fought me like puppets. They even fought outside in the market. They displayed the unique martial arts of the Wang family, but they all died in my hands … I didn't understand. They could have killed me, so why did I kill them instead? Only now do I understand that they are trying to pin all the blame on me. I … How could I have killed my aunt? "
Gu Qingying howled like a wolf.
He suddenly looked at the old man. "Do you know of any martial arts in this world that can control martial artists like puppets and use a living spider silk as a weapon?"
"Cough cough …"
The old man coughed. "There are too many martial arts that can control a person's body … However, it is rare to be able to control martial artists and make them use all the martial arts they know … Apart from that, this evil martial art can't peek into people's minds."
If it could really peek into people's minds, they would have known all their secrets long ago. There would be no need to interrogate them one by one.
The only possibility was that this puppet technique could only control a person's body, but not their mind.
Therefore, the Wang family's father and son, who were being manipulated, had extremely stiff and lifeless expressions on their faces. Their muscles had been directly controlled, and they would cry and laugh as they were told. They could even say the words that they had prepared beforehand.
Perhaps their hearts had died long ago, and only their bodies were left to be controlled by the spider silk.
"Is this … still a martial art?"
Chung Shen-soo listened for a long time and was even more speechless. "What kind of world is this?"
…
After Gu Qingying finished his story, silence returned to the Immortal Ox Temple.
The old man with a sarcoma on his left eye took out a hookah from his bag and smoked slowly. "Spider silk, puppets …"
He blew out a smoke ring. "If Gu Qingying is right, that should be a martial art from Miaojiang — Hands of Thousand Spiders!"
"Thousand Hands of Myriad Spiders?!"
Gu Qingying raised his head, his eyes filled with confusion.
"If young people don't study, then their knowledge is shallow …" The old man took a drag on his cigarette and said unhurriedly, "The Miao Territory is separated by the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains and is not under the jurisdiction of the Great Wu Dynasty. However, the martial artists of the Miao people there are extremely powerful … It is said that one of the Four Great Mystical Books, the 'Extraordinary Man's Painting', has been circulating in the Miao Territory. From it, a large number of strange martial arts have been derived, such as the Moth Sword of the Southern Song Family in the Ling Mountains and the Thousand Spiders and Ten Thousand Hands of the Five Poison Sect!"
"It is said that this Extraordinary Man Painting is the same as the Wordless Heaven Stele. There are no specific martial arts records, only a picture of an extraordinary man. Different experts or ordinary people can comprehend different martial arts from looking at this picture! Of course … there are even more who succumbed to qi deviation and died of exhaustion … "
"According to Gu Qingying, the martial art that controls everyone in the Wang Residence is probably the 'Thousand Spiders and Ten Thousand Hands of Myriad Spiders'. This martial art is extremely cruel, and those who are hit will enter a state where they are neither alive nor dead. Then, they will be captured by the Spider Master, who will use spider silk to control their entire body, and even be able to use their martial arts!"
The old man sighed. "That evil sect expert probably captured someone from the Wang family and interrogated him. That person refused to comply, so he killed them one by one and refined them into puppets. In the end, only your aunt was left … And when your aunt told him the secret, he no longer tried to hide it."
"It's me? I harmed the Wang Family? Harmed my aunt? "Gu Qingying was not stupid. He immediately understood the reason behind the murder, and his expression changed.
"Sigh … I'm afraid it won't be peaceful tonight. My friend outside, am I right?"
The old man looked out of the temple and spoke indifferently, his voice echoing far away.
"The seventy-second grandmaster of the Terrestrial Rankings, Elder Du of the Heavenly Secret Star, is naturally right … I heard that the Heavenly Secret Star is well-versed in the martial arts of all the sects in the world. Today, I would like to ask …"
A voice that sounded like a silver bell came from the storm, but it was still extremely clear.
Gu Qingying looked at his shoulder and suddenly thought of the unusual weight he felt when he first entered the Wang family's mansion. He finally understood. "I have … spider silk on me? Have you been following me? "
"If I didn't let you leave and made you feel safe, why would you take the initiative to take that thing out?"
The woman's undisguised laughter came from outside the window. "Little idiot …"
Hearing that, Gu Qingying's expression changed drastically!
"This guy really is an idiot …"
Chung Shen-soo leaned against the wall and sighed inwardly as he watched everything.
Ever since Gu Qingying walked into the Wang Residence, he had fallen into the enemy's trap. He was just here to reel in the net.
But the point was …
Why the f * ck did he just happen to run into him?
The so-called grandmaster of the Terrestrial Rankings, the Heavenly Secret Star, came here on purpose to wait for Gu Qingying, but he was really just a nobody!
"The martial arts of this body are not even as good as the third-rate martial artists in the Jianghu … Even Gu Qingying can kill me, let alone the mastermind!"
Chung Shen-soo looked at the people in the dilapidated temple and suddenly felt very speechless.
If this body was killed, would his True Spirit be damaged and return to his original body? Or would his body and soul be destroyed?
But he definitely didn't want to try it!
"In this world, there's no way to survive without cheats …"
Zhong Shenxiu's thoughts moved quickly as he looked at his stats window.
Xun Liuyi only knew one martial art, the Medicinal Sand Palm, and he wasn't very proficient in it.
"But it's too late to familiarize my body with other martial arts, so I'll use this."
Chung Shen-soo thought:
[Consume 1 Tenxiu Point to level up the Medicinal Sand Palm?]
"Yes!"
[Medicinal Sand Palm level up!]
[Medicinal Sand Palm: Level 2]
The Medicinal Sand Palm of the Shan Yao Sect was not a high-level martial art. In fact, it was very basic and easy to cultivate. All one needed to do was to find all kinds of rare herbs and soak their palms in it.
However, at this moment, Chung Shen-soo's palms were slightly red, and there was a faint medicinal aroma.
This was using the Heavenly Excellence Points to simply and crudely replace those hard-to-find herbs and directly complete the tempering process.
In the blink of an eye, Chung Shen-soo consumed another 5 Tenxiu Point to level up the Medicinal Sand Palm to Level 5!
This was a level that only the Sect Leader of the Shan Yao Sect could reach. Even if the other elders had reached this level, they would not be able to find those special herbs.
Boom!
As soon as the fifth level of the Medicinal Sand Palm was completed, Chung Shen-soo felt two streams of heat emerging from his palms and moving up his arms.
"This is not Blood Qi or Xiantian True Qi, but a unique type of inner energy in this world?"
Although Chung Shen-soo had never tried the inner energy in this world, he had the experience of using Xiantian True Qi. With a slight thought, a stream of heat gathered in his eyes.
A glimmer of light flashed in his eyes as if he was nearsighted. He suddenly felt that the world around him had become much clearer.
What surprised him even more was that the inside of the temple was covered with translucent spider webs.
It was as if … in the darkness of the storm outside, there was a giant spider monster spitting its web at the temple …
