Chapter 64 Bai Xingxiang

hungry!
So hungry!

very hungry!
Just as when a mortal is extremely hungry, his temper will become irritable, his body will feel uncomfortable, the urge to hunt will dominate the body, and the process of starving to death is the most tragic experience in the world.

The predatory impulses and physical pain caused by hunger to warriors are far greater than those of ordinary people.

This is because inner strength is a greedy beast. If it cannot hunt for enough Yuan Qi, it will backfire and eat away at the foundation of martial arts.

The consumption of Yuan Qi was huge, and the internal breath became turbulent. Zhen Rong was ready to move, and Master Bai's body was shaking.

A lot of his Qi was consumed in the battle with Li Bailong. Although he consciously tried to save his internal energy in the subsequent chase and breakout, it still consumed a lot.

But what really put him in a desperate situation was the attack just now.

He escaped from Lin County and ran all the way. He first found the place where he had buried the supplies in advance. There were some martial arts food stored there. After eating it, he could restore his Yuan Qi to deal with the next encirclement and suppression.

As a rider who often takes on less-than-legal orders, he has extensive experience in escaping.

Who knew that just as the weapon was dug out, an attack came from the sky.

The opponent's martial arts was incredibly strong. Even with his skills as a fifth-grade boxer, he was knocked to the ground after only blocking two moves. He thought it was Li Bailong's senior master who intercepted him, but this person happened to be a man. If it was a strong man from one of the six major sects in Lin County who attacked him, his martial arts style would not match.

The opponent's internal energy has a damp and hot feeling of suspension, and his moves are strange and agile, unlike the Central Plains martial arts.

Instead, it seems like the path of a small country on the southern border...

When he was defeated, Master Bai begged for mercy while trying to glance at the opponent, but was immediately stepped on the head and knocked to the ground... but one glance was enough.

After seeing the man's face clearly, the rider felt a chill in his heart.

Since he was optimized by the big sect and put on the industry blacklist, he has been in the gray area of ​​Daqi for more than ten years, traveling all over the country and gaining rich experience. One advantage of being a rider is that you can see the world. Not only can you see the world under the sunshine of Daqi, but you can also see another ecology in the shadows, where some warriors who don't want to eat the imperial food and don't want to be controlled by the court choose another way of life.

Among this group of warriors, a small number of people chose the most extreme path.

Master Bai saw the man's appearance clearly.

This person's face was slightly pale, with bloodshot eyes, and his body was unproportionately thin. He looked irritable and easily angered... Master Bai recalled the person's appearance in his mind, combined with his internal strength that gave him a sense of levitation and illusion, and a horrible guess emerged in his mind.

The Demonic Sect...it's the Demonic Sect!

A sense of fear and trembling from the bottom of my heart surged into my heart.

There is no doubt that the Demon Sect is the public enemy of all warriors.

When you meet someone from the Demon Sect who is weaker than you, you will hate him.

When you meet someone from the Demon Sect who has similar martial arts skills as you, you will be afraid of him.

When you encounter a demon who is stronger than you in martial arts and has even defeated you...

You will have no other emotion except fear.

The terrifying legends about the Demon Sect came to his mind, and Master Bai's teeth were chattering - how could this happen! Not only did he fail to complete the mission, but he was even hunted by the Demon Sect! ?

"Oh, that's pretty clever."

The person who stepped on him smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, I have enough food and drink recently, and I am full every day."

After saying this, he exerted force on his feet, and the powerful internal energy seeped in, grinding like a millstone.

Master Bai's protective internal energy circulated on its own and began to resist the invasion of the alien internal force. The opponent's skills were far superior to his. This confrontation with a huge disparity in strength could only cause the loss of Yuan Qi to intensify.

This made Master Bai feel extremely uncomfortable, but he also breathed a sigh of relief.

The other party was destroying his inner energy, it seemed that he really didn't intend to do that kind of thing...

Then he began to worry again. This was the sadness of being a fish on the chopping block, trapped in the hands of others, not knowing what fate awaited him.

Weakening the internal Qi is usually the first step in forcing a confession or coercing a warrior.

When the Yuan Qi is exhausted and the internal breath is hungry, it will devour the foundation of the martial arts. This slow and terrifying destructive process is tantamount to letting the martial artist watch his glorious life gradually disintegrate with his own eyes. The dual pain of body and mind is extremely terrifying. Generally speaking, there is no need for any secret methods or punishments to interrogate a martial artist.

All you need to do is make the warrior extremely hungry, then place a bowl of martial food in front of him. It will take a long or short time, and most people will choose to surrender.

What on earth does he want to do...

This member of the demon sect had extremely deep internal strength, and quickly consumed a large amount of Master Bai's vital energy. The hunger and hunting impulse within his internal energy were further amplified, and Master Bai's breathing became rapid, and his body began to tremble.

Just then, the aroma of food came.

His pupils dilated slightly and he couldn't help but drool.

The other party opened the food bag he had hidden earlier. The aroma of the food rich in Yuan Qi aroused an irresistible desire. His internal breath was roaring greedily. The continuous consumption of Yuan Qi intensified this impulse. Master Bai breathed hard. "You know, to tame animals, such as eagles and dogs, you have to beat them first and then starve them."

"After a few meals, it will be almost starving to death. All it can think about is 'I want to eat, give me a bite to eat'. Then it will not care about anything else, not care about pride, not care about whether it is the master or not, whether it submits or not. Only when it is about to starve to death will it know that nothing else is important except eating."

The man tread on his head like the dust of the ground.

He was powerless to resist, powerless to struggle, just like he could not stop his inner strength from draining away, could not stop the predatory impulse brought by his inner breath, and could not even stop his bones from wailing.

"It's the same for warriors, actually."

"What dignity, what pride, what faith, what justice, are all false. If you go hungry for a few meals, you will feel your foundation shaken and your realm fall. The sweat of the past, the glory of today, and the guarantee of the future will all become empty illusions. Then you will know one thing, a warrior..."

The man from the Demon Sect smiled slightly: "Warriors are all dogs."

"Wu Xiang is like a dog chain, but the chain is long enough that you don't feel anything at ordinary times. But as long as someone pulls it like this, you will know what you are."

He broke the cake into pieces, and the food filled with Yuan Qi fell to the ground, not far from Master Bai's mouth.

The distance is so subtle that you can’t reach it with your mouth open.

But you can reach it by sticking out your tongue, and use your tongue to roll the food little by little to your mouth and eat it.

It's like a dog, when faced with food generously thrown by its owner, it sticks out its tongue, rolls up the dusty food on the dirty ground, and eats it happily while wagging its tail.

The dog will not see anything wrong with this.

The hungry inner breath would not think there was anything wrong with this.

but.

——Can’t eat.

Master Bai closed his eyes tightly, trying hard to resist the temptation of Yuan Qi and his instinctive impulse.

"Ah, look at you, you're just as stubborn as I used to be."

The man from the Demon Sect said in a low voice, "My master starved me for a few meals and told me the meaning of the dog chain. He also asked me, now there is such an opportunity for you to get rid of this dog chain and no longer have to look at the face of the court or the six major sects. Am I willing or not?"

"Of course I was willing, so I learned the secret technique that my master taught me..."

When the man said this, he laughed himself: "Then he became a member of the Demon Sect."

Master Bai was suddenly startled.

The fear and hostility towards the Demonic Sect are engraved in the bones of every warrior.

"From then on, everyone in the underworld was calling for war and killing. Everyone was a brainless bunch, believing whatever rumors spread. I was very dissatisfied at the time. I didn't do anything. Why do you think I'm a bad person?"

"Later, I did something bad, but not for any reason like 'You wrongly accused me of being a bad person, so I have to be bad to show you', but because it feels really good to do bad things."

"I will not be tied by the dog chain of Wu Xiang. I don't have to worry about being wanted by the government. I can escape wherever I want and no one can catch me. I can kill the ignorant low-class people and the warriors with unclear minds. This is the power of the strong. I can do whatever I want to the weak!"

"Later, I fled all the way to Zhaonan. It was great. The martial arts were not popular in this small country, and the governance was chaotic. It was crowded with desperate criminals. Many big shots in Qi would keep black gloves here. I had a great time there for many years. There was no dog chain, and I was free all day long. Master was right. This is the benefit of being a demon sect... But, that old immortal never told me a single thing until he died..."

The man from the Demon Sect loosened his feet and squatted in front of Master Bai.

Master Bai's internal energy was almost completely used up at this moment. He was shivering as if he was having a cold war, relying only on his last bit of willpower to fight against the dog's instinct.

The man sighed heavily: "Master didn't tell me that although I broke free from Wu Xiang's dog chain, I am still a dog. There is a long, invisible dog chain that has been tying me, but I have never noticed it because the masters have too many dogs to use... until recently."

"They pulled me to Qi State and asked me to live in seclusion in this strange place and do some inexplicable things, such as reading a book thoroughly."

He stuffed the small piece of cake in his hand into his mouth and chewed it. The sound evoked a tingling sensation in his bones, which almost made Master Bai unable to resist swallowing the cake crumbs on the ground.

——Can’t eat.

Boring things like dignity are still supporting this hungry body.

Until a thunderous question came into my ears.

"Bai Xingxiang, why are you still as stubborn as you were more than ten years ago?"

Master Bai was struck by lightning.

It's been a long time since anyone called him... that.
