Recently, a storm was brewing in the Jianghu. The Righteous Sects and the Evil Sects were in a constant state of chaos.
However, the news of Chu Xiu killing Fang Jinwu was like a bomb. Everyone was so shocked that they did not know what to say.
Fang Jinwu was an expert in the True Fire Spirit-Refinement State, an existence that stood at the peak of the Jianghu. However, he died in the hands of a junior like Chu Xiu.
It should be known that the friction between the Righteous Sects and the Evil Sects had intensified. Both sides were engaged in a chaotic battle. More than one Martial Dao Master had fallen, but it was not to the point where a True Fire Spirit-Refinement State expert was injured.
Now, Chu Xiu had killed an expert in the True Fire Spirit-Refinement State before the Moon Worshipping Church.
Furthermore, Fang Jinwu was not a nameless person. He was a well-known figure in the jianghu of the Northern Yan Kingdom. In the past, he had also traversed the jianghu. Even in West Chu and Eastern Qi, he had a certain reputation. At the very least, the elders in these two places all remembered him. In the end, he had died at the hands of a junior like Chu Xiu.
Of course, there were also many people who scolded Chu Xiu for being despicable and shameless. He had used a curse to weaken Fang Jinwu's strength. Otherwise, he would have been the one dead.
However, in the Jianghu, the winner took all. Chu Xiu was alive and Fang Jinwu was dead. It was as simple as that. There was no point in using the curse.
In other words, if Chu Xiu had been in someone else's place, they would not have been able to withstand a single blow from Fang Jinwu who had been poisoned by the Broken Intestine Curse.
On the second day after Chu Xiu killed Fang Jinwu, the Wind Sweeping Tower's ranking list was updated. Chu Xiu had jumped more than ten places, from the 35th place to the 24th place. He was ranked behind Yan Zhi of the Windcloud Sword Mound.
Back then, Little Celestial Master Zhang Chengzhen had entered the ranking list before Chu Xiu. However, now, Chu Xiu had gone further than Zhang Chengzhen.
Everyone could foresee that the gap would gradually widen.
It was not that Chu Xiu had to be stronger than Zhang Chengzhen. Now that Dragon Tiger Mountain was sealed, Zhang Chengzhen could only cultivate on the mountain, while Chu Xiu could dominate the Jianghu.
At this time, Chu Xiu was recovering in the Martial Suppression Hall. After fighting with the True Fire Spirit-Refinement State expert, Chu Chu Xiu had not only gained a lot of experience, but he had also been injured.
While clashing with Fang Jinwu's Inextinguishable Golden Body, many of Chu Xiu's bones had been shattered, and his internal organs had been injured.
Finally, when he used the Triple Destruction City Arrow, he used up all of his strength, and then paid the price of a mouthful of essence blood. He suffered a backlash and was in a miserable state. He basically wouldn't be able to recover without a month's rest.
However, he wasn't worried because even though killing Fang Jinwu would cause a huge commotion, the impact it would cause would be minimal because no one would stand up for him.
This was also the helplessness of the Rogue Cultivators. Although Fang Jinwu did not want to offend anyone, no one wanted to stand up for him.
Chen Jinting had already been crippled by Ren Qianli. Chu Xiu didn't know if he was dead or not, and he didn't specially look for him. However, now that he was accused of killing his teacher, even if Chen Jinting didn't die, he would have to hide his identity for the rest of his life.
Ren Qianli was experienced, but in fact, he was slippery.
Chu Xiu had killed his master. Ren Qianli wanted to take revenge, but could he do so?
In the past, when he was in the Northern Yan imperial court, his backer was not the big shots in the Northern Yan imperial court, but his master.
Now that Fang Jinwu was dead, even his words in the Northern Yan imperial court were not as tough as before. In other words, his current status was not as important as Chu Xiu's.
Therefore, it didn't matter if Ren Qianli was a coward or if he knew how to adapt to circumstances. In any case, when he wasn't absolutely confident, not to mention finding trouble with Chu Xiu, he would even try his best to avoid being seen by Chu Xiu.
As for the Jianghu, no one would seek revenge for Fang Jinwu.
Fang Jinwu's relationship with the Huangfu Clan's patriarch was not bad, but it was only good. The Huangfu Clan's patriarch would not seek trouble with Chu Xiu because of him.
It was the same for the Great Guangming Temple. Chu Xiu had an agreement with Xudu that he would not initiate trouble.
To be precise, it was Chen Jinting who first spoke nonsense in Yan Jing City, which led to this series of bloody cases.
Now that he was dead, the Great Guangming Temple's attention was not on the Northern Yan, so they would not care about it.
Therefore, Chu Xiu could recuperate in peace and did not need to worry about other troublesome matters.
After recuperating for half a month, Chu Xiu felt that his vitality had recovered a little. Only then did he take out the Great Soul-Searching Palm of Extinguishing Heaven and Destroying Earth to read it carefully.
When he first obtained this technique, Chu Xiu did not even have time to read it carefully before he set out to kill Fang Jinwu.
Now that he held the Great Soul-Searching Palm in his hand, even with Chu Xiu's composure, he could not help but feel a little excited.
A single Great Soul-Searching Palm would naturally not make Chu Xiu so excited, but no one had managed to combine the seven parts of the Great Compassion Poem since ancient times. Therefore, Chu Xiu wanted to see what changes would happen after collecting all seven parts of the Great Compassion Poem.
The Great Soul-Searching Palm of Extinguishing Heaven and Destroying Earth was one of the stronger techniques in the Great Compassion Poem, but it was not the strongest. It could only be said to be the evilest.
The Great Soul-Searching Palm was between a Primordial Spirit secret technique and a normal martial technique. When it was used, it would extract the soul and pull the opponent's spirit and Primordial Spirit. Weaker warriors would have their Primordial Spirit pulled out by the Great Soul-Searching Palm and die on the spot. It could be said to be unstoppable.
Of course, this was only used against weaker warriors. Against stronger warriors, it could only serve as a distraction and would not be able to hurt them. For the current Chu Xiu, it was slightly useless. Perhaps it could be said that it was more useful in group battles. In a one-on-one fight, Chu Xiu felt that his Soul Extinguishing Arrow was more convenient.
After completely imprinting the Great Soul-Searching Palm in his heart, Chu Xiu continued to evolve the remaining six parts of the Great Compassion Poem in his mind.
The seven parts of the Great Compassion Poem fused completely in Chu Xiu's mind. At that moment, a strange rhythm reverberated in Chu Xiu's mind.
It was like an incantation, like the murmurs of an ancient demon god. Chu Xiu's vision had already sunk into darkness. What he did not know was that his body was involuntarily murmuring those words that sounded like an incantation.
The next moment, a boundless blood rain fell from the darkness. Endless ghostly wails came from the sky. The wails made one's heart palpitate, as though they were about to explode!
"Pfft!"
Chu Xiu spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. The blood rain stopped, the ghostly wails dissipated, and light shone again.
This feeling was very familiar to Chu Xiu because he had experienced it before. This was the backlash of a cultivation technique!
The door to the seclusion chamber was pushed open. Mei Qinglian poked her head in. When she saw Chu Xiu in this state, she asked curiously, "What are you doing here? You're a weirdo to the point of vomiting blood during seclusion. "
Just now, Chu Xiu did not know that when he involuntarily murmured that spell, everyone in the entire Zhenwu Hall felt their hearts tighten. It was as though some evil and terrifying existence had descended. The feeling was very creepy.
Mei Qinglian also felt the throbbing, so she came over to take a look.
Chu Xiu waved his hand and said, "It's okay. It's just a backlash of a cultivation technique. I'll be fine after resting for a few more days."
She glanced curiously at Chu Xiu. After hearing what he said, Mei Qinglian turned and left.
Chu Xiu let out a sigh of relief. Although the expression on his face did not change, he was very satisfied in his heart.
What did the backlash of a cultivation technique mean? It meant that the power of this cultivation technique was too strong. It was so strong that he could not control it in his current state.
The power of the seven parts of the Great Compassion Poem combined into one was far beyond Chu Xiu's imagination. This cultivation technique was indeed comparable to those legendary peerless and supreme cultivation techniques.
When the Great Compassion Poem of Heaven and Earth Intersecting and Yin and Yang was collected, the martial art was called the Great Compassion Mantra of Heaven and Earth Intersecting and Demon Weeping Heaven.
Among the seven parts of the Great Compassion Poem, there was no mention of this name. However, for some reason, when Chu Xiu completed the seven parts of the Great Compassion Poem, this name automatically appeared in Chu Xiu's mind, as if it was called this name.
However, the power of this cultivation technique was too strong. It was so strong that Chu Xiu could not fully use it in his current state.
After experiencing the backlash of the cultivation technique, Chu Xiu's own injury was very tragic. Therefore, it took Chu Xiu a few more days to recover from the injury that would normally take more than a month.
After more than a month, Chu Xiu walked out of the seclusion chamber.
Although it was dangerous to fight with a True Fire Spirit Refinement Realm expert, the rewards were also quite great.
At Chu Xiu's level, it was possible to improve his strength through hard work, but it was far less effective than improving his strength through life-and-death battles.
Moreover, the strength obtained through life-and-death battles was the most stable. There was no such thing as superficial strength.
However, at the level of a Martial Dao Master, it was enough to establish a sect and guard a region.
They were all big shots. Who wouldn't want to enjoy themselves? Why would they fight to the death with others?
Chu Xiu called Mei Qinglian over and asked, "Did Ren Qianli make any movements during this period?"
Mei Qinglian replied, "This fellow is very well-behaved. He hid in the Northern Guard Army's barracks and refused to come out. Are you going to kill him too?"
"I was just asking casually. Of course not." Chu Xiu shook his head.
After all, Ren Qianli was still the Great General of the Five Armies. If Chu Xiu killed him, Xiang Long wouldn't sit idly by.
Of course, the premise was that Ren Qianli was well-behaved and didn't come looking for trouble. Otherwise, Chu Xiu would rather fall out with the Northern Yan court and find a way to kill him.
"Oh yes, Taoist Wuyang came over and left with some elixirs and other things," Mei Qinglian suddenly said.
"That old thing is afraid." Chu Xiu sneered.
Taoist Wuyang was previously unconvinced by Chu Xiu and even wanted to fight for the authority of the Zhenwu Hall.
However, after the news of Chu Xiu killing Fang Jinwu spread, Taoist Wuyang was indeed a little afraid. Although he didn't admit defeat directly, he indirectly expressed his attitude.
He didn't expect Chu Xiu to be so ferocious that even a True Fire Spirit Refinement Realm expert died in his hands.
Of course, Taoist Wuyang was more afraid of Chu Xiu's ruthless methods.
He didn't care if Chu Xiu would be crazy enough to use these methods on him after he angered Chu Xiu.
