Mountain Herb Hall.
When Chung Shen-soo returned, he went to find Wei Baishu and told him about Yan Wu Shuang's visit.
"Divine Arrester Yan Wu Shuang? She cultivates the Buddhist Sanskrit Hand. If she makes a promise to you, you can trust her. "
The experienced Wei Baishu gave a definite answer.
"Do you really need to abide by the precepts for this martial art? How can there be such a strange martial art in the world? "Chung Shen-soo was somewhat puzzled.
"It's said that this martial art was personally created by the founder of the Wu Dynasty and passed down to the Condors Sect to cultivate … The stricter the commandments you impose on yourself, the faster your cultivation progress will be. Although it's not as good as the martial arts on the Extraordinary Arts Ranking, there are many experts who have become Grandmasters with this."
Wei Baishu glanced at Chung Shen-soo. "And once you break the precepts, the consequences will be extremely tragic. Heh heh … the imperial court likes this kind of martial art. The first precept of the Divine Arrester Sect cultivators who cultivate the Buddhist Sanskrit Hand is to swear loyalty to the imperial court. If it weren't for these strange martial arts, how could the Great Wu Dynasty last for a thousand years? "
"I see."
Chung Shen-soo understood.
"But you must be careful if you want to deal with the disciples of the Five Poison Sect. Although they're not within the borders of the Great Wu Dynasty, their strength is comparable to those famous sects … even their ordinary disciples are very powerful."
Wei Baishu glanced at Chung Shen-soo guiltily. There was one more thing he didn't say.
The ordinary disciples of the Five Poison Sect might be comparable to the elders of the Mountain Herb Sect, or even the sect master!
"Don't worry, the imperial court and the Divine Arrester Sect will be the main force this time. At most, I'll go and get some secret manuals. I'll be back soon."
Chung Shen-soo laughed.
"Once you get involved in the affairs of the imperial court, it'll be extremely troublesome. You can't even get rid of it …" Wei Baishu wasn't optimistic about this. "You must remember, your life is your own."
… …
Several days had passed since the day of the agreement.
Chung Shen-soo didn't know how the officials secretly spread the news, but everything seemed very normal.
Even Yan Wushuang had reduced her contact with him. She said that if she didn't do that, the Five Poison Sect's disciples wouldn't easily show themselves.
Other than going out of the city to 'fish', Chung Shen-soo also stayed at the Mountain Herb Hall to practice martial arts.
Due to his attempt to not use Tenxiu Point and switch to bitter training, his progress on the Flame of Heart chapter had evidently slowed down by quite a bit.
"The key to the Five Elements Bandit Palm is still to cultivate one's internal organs and five Qi. When used to injure others in a martial arts competition, one can be chosen at random … As for the Flame of Heart, it should be focused on internal cultivation and explosive power."
After a round of martial arts practice, Chung Shen-soo withdrew his palms and stood upright, muttering to himself.
He rested for a while and prepared to walk back to his room.
At this time, a person walked towards him. After seeing him, he immediately hid on the side of the road.
"Wu Tieyi?!"
Chung Shen-soo looked at the captive of the Three Mountains Sect. Ever since he betrayed the sect and joined the enemy, he had been at the bottom of the food chain in the Mountain Medicine Hall. He was ordered around like a slave by the youngest junior brother, but he did not dare to complain.
Looking at this person, he felt that something was amiss, but he could not put his finger on it.
"Master Xun, your humble servant is here."
Wu Tieyi replied carefully with a smile on his face.
"Un. Why aren't you helping out at the front desk? What are you doing in the backyard?"
Chung Shen-soo asked casually.
"The front desk is running out of Five-Flavor Rehmannia Pills. Miss Hong Yao ordered me to come here to collect them," Wu Tieyi hurriedly replied.
"Oh, you may leave!"
Chung Shen-soo waved his hands and brushed past Wu Tieyi.
The next instant.
He struck Wu Tieyi's lower back with a single palm.
'Wu Tieyi 'slid several zhang away. His footsteps became unsteady, and his voice became incomparably shrill. "How did you know?"
"Five-Flavor Rehmannia Pill is a name I came up with randomly. Hong Yao and the others don't call it that …" Chung Shen-soo calmly turned around. "Furthermore, why would Wu Tieyi barge into my room?"
This Wu Tieyi was clearly a fake!
"Hehe … Aren't you afraid of a freak combination of factors?"
Clutching his lower back, 'Wu Tieyi' had a savage expression on his face, reminiscent of an injured beast.
"I'm not afraid even if I'm wrong. He's just a captive anyway. So what if I kill him?"
Chung Shen-soo's expression was calm. His body seemed to have teleported, and he appeared right in front of the fake Wu Tieyi.
This' Wu Tieyi 'assumed a bizarre posture. His arms were like boneless snakes, twisting around Zhang Xuan's defenses and striking from an inconceivable angle.
Chung Shen-soo tilted his body to the side and laughed. "As expected of the Five Venoms Sect's Snake-Twisting Fist!"
This fist technique allowed one to train one's arms to be as flexible as if there were no bones in them. Every time one punched out, one would be able to catch the enemy off guard.
Of course, it paled in comparison to a secret technique like the Thousand Puppets of Spiders.
Even though this disciple's fist technique was sharp, Chung Shen-soo's sneak attack had injured his waist and caused him to feel dizzy. As a result, the might of his fist technique was reduced by half, allowing him to easily dodge the attack.
At the same time, 'Wu Tieyi' smiled savagely. Several crescent-shaped blades extended from his wrist, and like the fangs of a venomous snake, they coiled around Chung Shen-soo's wrist.
In a normal duel, such a transformation would definitely be looked down upon by the people of the pugilistic world.
Not only did he use underhanded moves, he even used concealed weapons to launch a sneak attack!
But this Five Venoms Sect disciple thought that it was only natural. In fact, he could almost see the scene of Chung Shen-soo's blood splattering on the ground.
The next moment …
Chung Shen-soo's fist evaded the blades at an even faster speed and landed a heavy punch on the Five Venoms Sect disciple's face.
'Heart of Blazing Fire, Palm of Water, Yin and Yang Complement, Demonic Bewitching! '
While 'Wu Tieyi' was sent flying, Chung Shen-soo was secretly experiencing the difference between using the Heart of Fire and Kidney of Water at the same time.
It had to be said that the Mountain Medicine Sect was fortunate enough to snatch the Water and Fire Complement cultivation technique, allowing Chung Shen-soo to comprehend a bit of the usage of the Five Elements.
At this moment, he took a step forward and saw that 'Wu Tieyi' had already fainted.
Not only so, the other party's face was filled with wrinkles, and a piece of skin had been torn off, revealing a yellowish face beneath.
No matter how he looked at it, the other party didn't look like Wu Tieyi at all. Blood was still seeping out from the mask on his face.
"A human skin mask?"
Chung Shen-soo's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't step forward. Instead, he took two steps back.
"What happened?"
Hearing the commotion, Wei Hongyao hurriedly ran over to ask about it.
"Go to the officials and contact Yan Wushuang … The Five Venoms Sect disciple has appeared."
Chung Shen-soo pointed to the unconscious Five Venoms Sect disciple on the ground and said, "Don't touch him, he might be poisoned … Also, go and take a look at Wu Tieyi. That fellow is most likely in trouble."
"Oh!"
Wei Hongyao hurriedly ran down, and not too long later, the miserable shriek of a disciple resounded in the backyard.
Chung Shen-soo immediately headed to the source of the shriek.
That was Wu Tieyi's bedroom. The door was open, and a disciple of the Mountain Medicine Sect was lying on his stomach, vomiting.
Chung Shen-soo walked in and saw Wu Tieyi's corpse.
His limbs were broken and twisted, and he was kneeling with his face facing the south, as though he was praying.
More importantly … his face was dripping with blood, and the skin on his face had been peeled off!
