Dragon Martial Emperor

Chapter 119 Assassination attempt at night

After thinking about it for some time, Long Yu eventually decided to consume this immortality pill.

In spite of his initial bitter experiences in Zhentian Sect, he had come to accept the new turn of events that had turned into a valuable resource for the sect. Not to mention, he deeply trusted Old White and Liao Lele!

Thinking of this, he took out another small porcelain bottle from his bosom.

“This condensate panacea can improve the success rate of a breakthrough by 10% while stepping into Zhenling realm.”

Long Yu looked at the immortality pill contained in a small porcelain bottle which he got as a reward from Baiyun Zong for saving Elder Yu’s life.

He did not feel a need to use panacea while congealing Zhenling.

“When the next time she comes over, I will give this condensate panacea to her.”

Long Yu made up his mind then swallowed the spirit level immortality pill. The name inscribed on the bottle said ‘Snow Pill’

A Snow pill was refined by adding a variety of herbs to the essence and blood of northern snow demon beast.

During the refining of this pill, the blood and essence of snow demon beast would fully convert into Lingqi and combine with a variety of herbs, allowing maximization of drug’s efficacy.

Certainly, a warrior’s absorption capability naturally depended on his own talent.

For example, Long Yu’s absorption capability without the help of Nine Hidden Dragon Mark should be around 30%. Not to mention it usually rose up to 100% with the help of the mark, helping him in fully absorbing the essence of immortality pills! In fact, talking in terms of his original absorption capability, he would need 3 spirit level immortality pills to absorb the amount of essence that he would otherwise absorb from just 1 spirit level immortality pill with the help of the mark!

Now, one could imagine the enormous significance of Nine Hidden Dragon Mark.

The essence of Snow Pill transformed into Lingqi and quickly spread throughout his meridians, a large part of which was then absorbed and stored in Nine Hidden Dragon Mark.

However, even by completely absorbing the essence of Snow Pill, it should be impossible for Long Yu to step into Zhenling second layer.

Therefore, he decided to absorb only a small part and store the major part of Snow Pill’s essence. He basically wanted to save it for future and once he would get his hands on more immortality pills, he would use them all at once for a sure-shot breakthrough.

“Zhenling first layer’s strength limit is up to the strength of 1200 fierce horses, but it seems like the present rise in my strength is not enough for a breakthrough to the next layer. Fortunately, I can reach the limit of Zhenling first layer.”

After meditating for a long time, Long Yu finally finished the absorption process and managed to reach the limit of Zhenling first layer.

Afterward, he continued to practice the best-grade spirit level martial skill, awakening palm samsara.

During last night’s practice, he was not able to comprehend much about this skill. This indicated that he would have to spend a lot of time to master it.

At noon, Liao Lele visited him again.

Long Yu did not say anything. He just tossed the panacea towards her and continued to practice.

Liao Lele noticed how he ignored her and could only leave with a depressed look on her face.

“He is such a cultivation lunatic.”

Liao Lele thought and closed her eyes as if to engrave his image in her mind.

……….

The practice continued for seven days time and Long Yu was finally able to circulate Xuan qi in his meridians in a certain predefined path in accordance with the cultivation method for awakening palm samsara. It was tough to achieve this and it took time but he finally did it!

This also represented that Long Yu successfully reached the beginner level of this skill!

In order to practice a complex martial skill like this one, it was usually needed to first familiarize oneself with circulation routes of Xuan qi inside the meridians.

When the basic circulation route was established, one would then need to focus on the main circulation route which was certainly much more complex than the basic one. Only after this step, one would grasp the main power of this skill by thoroughly mastering it.

Awakening palm samsara needed to be practiced like this and its practice method was extremely difficult, being much above other martial skills.

Luckily, he had the help of Nine Hidden Dragon Mark since the skill belonged to the mark itself, making things easier for him. This was the reason why he was able to reach the beginner level within 7 days, otherwise, it should have taken much longer.

“Intoxicated hell and Awakening palm samsara, these two skills, when used one after another, can first invade an opponent’s body and consciousness then further infiltrate their reincarnation cycle. When displayed at their best, these two skills can be extremely horrifying.”

(Mystique – Samsara is basically a representation of reincarnation cycle)

Even if he was still at the beginner level of Awakening palm samsara, he could easily try a few moves. He actually felt the power of samsara circulating within his body and if this strange power was used on an opponent, Long Yu did not know what might happen afterward or what would be its effect.

He looked out of the window, it was already dark outside. He decided to stop practicing and go out for a walk.

Obviously, walking was not like practicing and since it was already this late at night, disturbing other people did not seem like a good idea.

“I have been practicing for seven days straight. In that case, I should focus on taking rest tonight and sleep well.”

Long Yu made his decision and lay down on the bamboo bed.

He had only rested for one or two hours in the last 7 days so he immediately entered the dream world.

There was a reign of silence in the bamboo forest which was only being greeted by the moonlight from above and faint cries of insects from below. There was a sense of deep loneliness throughout the bamboo forest.

Suddenly, a shadow flash appeared out of the bamboo forest and went toward Long Yu’s bamboo house!

Spear of tornado!

A tornado condensed at the spear tip and went toward Long Yu’s bamboo house. The bamboo structure was instantly struck by the concentrated tornado and drilled its way inside, revealing the resting figure of Long Yu to the shadow.

It was certainly now impossible for Long Yu to continue to sleep after such a big noise!

“Who is there!”

Long Yu boldly jumped down from the bed and his gaze fell upon a shadow standing outside. But, a hint of strange color appeared in his eyes.

This shadow seemed to have come to assassinate him then why did he use an attack to destroy the bamboo house, as if to deliberately awaken him.

And, most importantly, Long Yu did not sense any killing intention from this shadow!

“He has not come here to kill me.”

Long Yu momentarily made a judgment.

“Such being the case, I will treat you as a test subject for my new skill.”

The corners of his mouth slightly curled upwards as he suddenly jumped toward the shadow.

Although the martial arts level of the assassin was at Zhenling third layer, there was no sign of killing intention. Hence, Long Yu dared to fight with this assassin!

Long Yu immediately summoned his Zhentian Sun.

As the rays of Zhentian Sun illuminated the surrounding area, Long Yu was surprised to see a masked man standing in front of him. But right at this moment, the assassin released a tornado from his spear that went toward Long Yu at a breakneck speed!

“Zhentian Sun, repression!”

Long Yu shouted and used the repression of Zhentian domain via sunlight to shatter the tornado in midair!

“Demon Wings!”

Long Yu stimulated the circulation of Xuan qi into the demon wings and two white wings appeared on his back. His whole body instantly blurred, leaving behind an afterimage, as he suddenly appeared behind that masked shadow.

“Awakening palm samsara, transmigration of the proposed road, a fist that infiltrates the reincarnation cycle!”

At a lightning speed, Long Yu’s fist released the power of samsara toward that masked assassin.

Although his fist was blocked by the assassin, but the power of samsara still invaded the assassin’s body.

Buzz!

Long Yu heard the buzzing sound and saw the masked assassin as if stagnate all of a sudden. His martial arts level also dropped down from the third layer to the second layer almost instantly!

Long Yu was stunned when he saw what happened. Awakening palm samsara really went against heaven’s will. How was it possible for such a bizarre skill to exist?

This martial skill could instantly bring Long Yu from a disadvantageous to an advantageous situation.

“The depreciation in opponent’s level is not an illusion, it really happened, now this assassin at only at Zhenling second layer. But, his level seems to be recovering quickly. So, this phenomenon of depreciation in level can only be maintained for some time…… ”

Long Yu continued to carefully observe the effect of his new skill and soon discovered the limitations of this phenomenon.

But the effect of this skill mainly caused the opponent’s level to fall backward. Was this really the power of reincarnation/samsara?

One could imagine, if the beginner level of skill could cause such an effect then perhaps the perfection level could infiltrate the enemy’s samsara to a greater extent, depreciating their level to such a large extent that they even cease to exist. And then, they might never be able to come back to life!

Of course, this was just a speculation on his part.

Perhaps even after reaching the Realm of Man-Heaven Unity, he might not attain such a power.

“Ha ha! Brother Long Yu, I always knew that you are extremely powerful. What kind of skill is this? It’s too awesome!”

A bold laughter sounded in the area as the masked assassin removed the black cloth from his face, revealing a bright smile on his insolent face!

“It is really you, Brother Bu.”

Long Yu was not at all surprised, smiled and put away the demon wings. He also withdrew the power of samsara.

“How did you know it was me?”

Bu Xing was surprised and could not help but ask.

“First, this bamboo forest is a strictly forbidden area in Zhentian Sect and it’s directly behind Elders Court. It should be nearly impossible for an assassin to silently approach the Elders Court, let alone this place.”

Long Yu explained with a smile: “Second, I did not sense any malice or killing intention from you, meaning that you did not come here to kill me. Finally, even though our fight caused so much noise, none of the elders residing in the nearby bamboo houses came out to examine what was wrong. This indicated that they already knew about this matter. Now, the identity of the masked man comes down to someone from this sect who knows me and where I live and is also at Zhenling third stage. All these things point at you Brother Bu, our sect’s strongest Zhenling disciple.”

After explaining things to Bu Xing, Long Yu further said: “Brother Bu, if you wanted to test my strength, we could have openly fought. There was no need to attack like this and you also blew up my shelter, so troublesome.”

“Troublesome? In that case, this fellow brother will give his own bamboo house to you.”

Bu Xing’s face revealed a straightforward smile: “Elders were quite curious to know the extent of your strength so they sent me to test you. Brother Long Yu, I hope you did not mind.”

“Rest assured, I’m not so narrow-minded. Moreover, I also used this as an opportunity to test my new skill. And I am quite satisfied from the outcome.”

Long Yu said with a smile.

Bu Xing’s body shivered when he remembered that scary fist. He could not help but hammer at Long Yu’s shoulder with his hand and said: “You boy, that really scared me to death you know. My martial arts level fell down by one level, I was so scared thinking that it was a permanent effect. Thankfully, it only lasted for a short time.”

“I did not know about its effects either, actually, you are the first person I used this skill on. Moreover, I have never seen anyone use a skill like this before.”

Long Yu said awkwardly.

“Damn, this skill is indeed way too bizarre.”

Bu Xing spoke with a dignified look on his face: “Brother Long, you must be sure to never expose this martial skill no matter what, otherwise, it will unnecessarily invite trouble for you. At least until the day you have enough to strength to wipe out all possible dangers.”

“En, I know.”

Long Yu nodded solemnly.

To be able to temporarily reduce the opponent’s cultivation level, this technique was really insane and terrifying. If the rumor about such a type of best-grade spirit level martial skill spread out, it would definitely attract the attention of various forces and bring serious dangers for Long Yu!
