Shi Potian travels through Linghu Chong

Chapter 106: Castration?

Dongfang Bubai's body was extremely fast, like a ghost or a spirit, coming and going elusively, just like light smoke.

His fight with Shi Potian lasted only a moment.

Except for Qu Yang who could barely see the process of the fight between the two, Qu Feiyan and Yang Lianting only felt a flash before their eyes, heard the sound of several long swords and embroidery needles colliding, and then saw blood splattering in the air. Dongfang Bubai crashed heavily into the rockery, knocking down most of it, with rubble flying and dust rising.

The surroundings suddenly became quiet.

Qu Yang and the other two were stunned where they were.

Not to mention Yang Lianting, even Qu Yang, who knew that Shi Potian had crippled the martial arts of Ren Woxing and Xiang Wentian, did not expect that Dongfang Bubai, who had been dominating the martial arts world for decades and was known as the best martial artist in the world, would lose to Shi Potian, and lose so quickly.

Bang!
Dongfang Bubai slapped the rockery behind him, and using the reverse force, he rushed towards Yang Lianting like a cannonball, picked up Yang Lianting, and rushed into the small house.

If it were the Dongfang Bubai of the past, he would be arrogant and proud. Even if he knew that his martial arts skills were inferior to others, he would only think about how to turn defeat into victory and fight his way out of the desperate situation.

But now, he had long lost that spirit, and all he wanted was to stay with Yang Lianting forever. After realizing that he was no match for Shi Potian, he immediately chose to take Yang Lianting away.

Qu Yang shouted anxiously: "We can't let him escape, stop him quickly!" and chased after Dongfang Bubai.

The Black Wood Cliff is extremely high and the terrain is extremely dangerous. It is supported by three winches above and below. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Once the winch is destroyed and an ambush is set in advance, the people on the cliff will be like turtles in a jar, unable to escape.

Shi Potian was also aware of this, and the moment Qu Yang opened his mouth, he had already caught up with him.

Using the same light-weight skills, Shi Potian's speed was more than twice as fast as Qu Yang's. In a flash, he arrived in front of the door of the cottage.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
A slight sound of breaking air came from inside the house.

Shi Potian kept moving, and his body swayed back and forth a few times with a very small amplitude.

Several embroidery needles flew past his cheeks, and he heard a few "thuds" sounds. The stone lamppost in the yard behind him had been pierced with several small holes.

The scene looked extremely thrilling, but in fact it was all under Shi Potian's control.

At the beginning, Dongfang Bubai's embroidery needle was still somewhat threatening to him, but after a few moves, he had already become familiar with this move.

When the door curtain was lifted, the room was filled with flowers and the strong fragrance of cosmetics. In the center hung a painting of three beauties, and the chair was covered with an embroidered brocade cushion.

Dongfang Bubai did not expect Shi Potian to come so quickly. He grabbed the dressing table beside him and smashed it towards Shi Potian. Then he kicked the sandalwood bed under him upright and kicked it hard.

wow——

The sandalwood bed weighing hundreds of kilograms rubbed against the wooden floor, causing countless wood chips to fly, and rushed straight towards Shi Potian like a bulldozer.

Bang!
Shi Potian swung his palm into the air, and a vast amount of true energy surged out like a tide, instantly smashing the dressing table and the sandalwood bed into pieces.

But Dongfang Bubai also took advantage of this opportunity and slapped the pillar beside him several times.

boom!boom!boom!boom!
The four pillars broke in the middle, and the small house collapsed without support.

Dongfang Bubai stepped back, protected Yang Lianting, broke the window, and fled towards the tunnel entrance.

Dongfang Bubai had never thought that any external enemy would be able to break into the Black Wood Cliff, let alone thought that he would be defeated one day. When building this garden boudoir, he did not reserve a secret escape passage. The only way in and out was through the tunnel behind Shi Potian and Qu Yang.

He deliberately ran into the small house in order to lure Shi Potian in and open the entrance to the tunnel.

Dongfang Bubai used his Qinggong skills to run at full speed, and at the same time he did not forget to comfort Yang Lianting: "Brother Lian, don't worry, I am here, no one can..."

Before he could finish his words, Dongfang Bubai felt the air around them pressing towards them. Realizing that Shi Potian was using the Dragon-Catching Hand again, he quickly shook his body and escaped like a loach.

But before he could open his mouth, his vision suddenly darkened. He looked up suddenly and saw Shi Potian standing in front of him.

It was not until this moment that a loud "bang" was heard behind him, and the small house collapsed, with dust flying everywhere.

Dongfang Bubai practiced the "Sunflower Manual" and his body movement speed was faster than Shi Potian, but only slightly faster.

Now, he was injured and was holding Yang Lianting, a burden, so his speed no longer gave him any advantage.

At the moment when he was delayed and obstructed by the Dragon Catcher, Shi Potian caught up.

Seeing the exit right in front of him, Dongfang Bubai screamed, "Get out of my way!" He raised his hand and slapped Shi Potian in the chest.

Shi Potian raised his hand.

Just as the two palms were about to touch each other, Dongfang Bubai suddenly pressed his palm downwards, and the power of his palm surged, hitting the ground heavily. He used the force to bend his body to the side, avoiding Shi Potian in front of him.

Dongfang Bubai knew clearly that his internal strength was far inferior to Shi Potian's, and he had no chance of winning in a head-on fight, not to mention that he was holding Yang Lianting in his arms.

He never had the intention of confronting Shi Potian head-on from the beginning to the end. He acted like he was ready to fight to the death just to confuse Shi Potian.

As long as he could escape from the tunnel and have the Sun and Moon Sect members help him stop Shi Potian, he could take Yang Lianting away.

——Qu Yang always felt that the Sun and Moon followers on the Black Wood Cliff were numerous and powerful, and with the natural defenses of bows and crossbows, even top masters like Shi Potian and Dongfang Bubai would have no way out.

However, Dongfang Bubai knew that these alone would not pose much of a threat to Shi Potian, let alone him.

Sudden.

Dongfang Bubai felt his wrist tighten. He looked down and saw that Shi Potian's hand had grabbed his wrist without him noticing.

not good!

Dongfang Bubai's face changed, and he hurriedly shook his arm, using his bone-shrinking technique to try to pull his right hand back.

However, Shi Potian's palm was like an iron hoop, tightly holding his wrist. No matter how hard he tried or how he used tricks, he could not break free.

Then, he saw Shi Potian's other hand hitting his Danzhong point.

Dongfang Bubai had heard that Shi Potian liked to cripple people's martial arts, so his pupils suddenly shrank and he raised his foot to kick Shi Potian.

boom!
Shi Potian's right foot came later but arrived first, blocking his foot. Dongfang Bubai suddenly felt his right leg tingling, as if he had kicked a stone, his leg bones ached and he could not stand steadily.

"It can only be this way!"

A fierce look flashed in Dongfang Bubai's eyes. He poured all his energy into his right arm and pulled it down with force.

He was no longer thinking about breaking free from Shi Potian's hand, but was ready to give up this arm in exchange for a chance to escape.

But before he could put his plan into practice, he felt a sharp pain in his Dan Zhong acupoint, and the true Qi he had cultivated for decades poured out like a river bursting its dam.

In just a moment, the dantian was empty, without any trace of true energy left.

However, it was Shi Potian who noticed Dongfang Bubai's intention, and directly condensed his true energy into finger force, which shot out from his sword finger and hit Dongfang Bubai's Danzhong point first, destroying all his martial arts.

Compared to destroying Dongfang Bubai's martial arts with his own hands, it is difficult to control the force by pressing on the Danzhong point from a distance with fingers, and the injury to Dongfang Bubai is undoubtedly more serious.

But compared to tearing the entire arm off, this is many times lighter.

A trickle of blood flowed from the corner of Dongfang Bubai's mouth, his face was as pale as paper, cold sweat dripped from his forehead, his hands and feet became weak, and he could not even stand.

But before falling, he tried his best to turn his body to the side and fell heavily on the ground on his back, acting as a cushion for Yang Lianting in his arms.

Yang Lianting's martial arts skills were low, so he had no idea what was going on. But seeing Dongfang Bubai's appearance, he knew that Dongfang Bubai had lost. He struggled to get up, shocked and angry, and said angrily: "You used to boast about your unparalleled martial arts skills, but how come you can't even beat Linghu Chong!"

Dongfang Bubai said: "I... I have... cough cough..." Before he could finish his words, he burst into coughing, and blood flowed out from the corners of his mouth.

Yang Lianting said angrily: "What?"

Dongfang Bubai said: "I have tried my best. He...his martial arts are far better than mine. No one in the martial arts world today can be his opponent."

Yang Lianting stayed where he was, feeling extremely annoyed as to why he had to keep Shi Potian and the others. It would have been much easier if he had just let them go.

Qu Yang and Qu Feiyan also heard what Dongfang Bubai said.

Qu Feiyan said happily: "Sister Dongfang, do you mean that Brother Gou's martial arts is now the best in the world?"

Dongfang Bubai nodded and said, "Even if Fangzheng Chongxu joined forces, they would not be his match." He was able to exchange a few moves with Shi Potian only because of his body movement and speed. If it was Fangzheng Chongxu, he would probably be even worse than him.

Qu Feiyan clapped his hands and shouted, "Brother Gou, did you hear that? Your martial arts are the best in the world! You are the first person in the world to be the best in your twenties! Even Bodhidharma and Zhang Sanfeng could not achieve this level back then!"

Shi Potian waved his hands and said, "Master said that there are always people better than you. He thinks I am the best in the world, but that doesn't mean I am the best. Bodhidharma and Zhang Zhenren are both senior masters. I am far inferior to them."

He has not yet fully studied the various changes of internal energy in the meridians and dantian, and has not truly mastered the art of controlling the sword with Qi. He still has a long way to go.

Dongfang Bubai saw that Shi Potian was serious and sincere, and that he was not being falsely modest. He smiled and said, "Since you think this way, even if you are not the best in the world now, you will be the best in the world sooner or later."

His voice had been extremely sharp before, but now it became low. After realizing that he was going to die, he regained the demeanor of a great master.

Dongfang Bubai said, "Young Master Linghu, I have something to ask you. Why do you say that the Sunflower Manual is a martial art from your Huashan Sect?"

Qu Yang and Qu Feiyan also looked curious.

Shi Potian said: "We have a saying in Huashan Sect, 'Of the nine Huashan skills, Zixia is the best'. Zixia skill is the highest martial art in Huashan Sect today."

"But there is a sentence recorded in the Zixia Secret Book, which says 'The Zixia Secret Book is the basics of getting started, and the Sunflower Secret Book is the pinnacle of perfection.'"

Qu Yang and Qu Feiyan were shocked.

They have all witnessed the power of the Zixia magic skill with their own eyes, but they never imagined that such a powerful Zixia magic skill is just the entry-level basics?
How powerful is the pinnacle of "Sunflower Manual"?

No wonder Dongfang Bubai has been known as the best martial artist in the world for so many years!

The two of them couldn't help but look at Dongfang Bubai.

But Dongfang Bubai's face suddenly changed, as if he had thought of something. His brows were tightly furrowed, his body was shaking uncontrollably, and he kept repeating these sixteen words: "Zixia Secret Book, the basics of entry; Sunflower Manual, the pinnacle of perfection."

He obviously didn't know the connection between "Sunflower Manual" and "Purple Cloud Magic Art".

Sudden.

Dongfang Bubai raised his head and said to Shi Potian anxiously, "Young Master Linghu, can you tell me the contents of the Zixia Secret Book?"

Fearing that Shi Potian would refuse, Dongfang Bubai quickly added: "I know that the Zixia Secret Book is a secret of your Huashan Sect and cannot be easily disclosed to outsiders. Don't worry, I have no other thoughts, I just want to confirm a guess."

"Three days. I only need three days. I will not leave your sight during these three days. After three days, you must kill me so that the Zixia Secret Book will never be leaked. By then, I will also tell you the whereabouts of the Sunflower Manual and ask you to take it back to Huashan."

Dongfang Bubai was originally planning to use the "Sunflower Manual" as a bargaining chip to ask Shi Potian and the other two to spare Yang Lianting's life, but now he could no longer care about so much.

"Young Master Linghu, I won't hide it from you. I practiced the Sunflower Manual and followed the secret recipes in the manual. I castrated myself, practiced Qigong, made elixirs and took medicines. Gradually, my beard disappeared, my voice changed, and my temperament changed as well."

"From then on, I stopped loving women and killed all seven concubines, but... I put all my heart and soul on Yang Lianting, a man with eyebrows and eyebrows."

"I just want to know now, is there something wrong with the contents of the Sunflower Manual, or am I misunderstanding it or practicing it incorrectly?"

When Dongfang Bubai said the last sentence, his voice was trembling and his expression was filled with endless fear and anxiety.

Dongfang Bubai used to feel that the things he did for power and martial arts when he was young were ridiculous and a waste of time. It was not until he practiced the "Sunflower Manual" that he gradually realized the true meaning of life and understood the key to the creation of heaven and man and the growth of all things.

But now, there is another possibility before him——

He practiced "Sunflower Manual" incorrectly!
When Dongfang Bubai thought of this possibility, he felt as if someone was clutching his heart tightly and he was about to suffocate.

Qu Yang and Qu Feiyan were both shocked when they heard the word "castration". Only then did they understand why Dongfang Bubai had become like this.

Shi Potian was stunned. He thought of the sentence in the "Exorcism Sword Technique" in the old Lin family house in Fuzhou: "To become the best in the martial arts world, one must castrate oneself with a sword." He was a little bit unbelievable: "To practice the "Sunflower Manual", one must first castrate oneself?"

The master said that the Sword Manual of Exorcism requires castration of one's self in order to practice it, and that it would confuse people's minds and disrupt their thinking, and was an evil skill, so he burned it.

"Sunflower Manual" is the advanced practice of their Huashan Sect's highest martial arts "Purple Cloud Secret Book", why does it also require self-castration?
