I am about to die of old age, and I have awakened the character of longevity.

Chapter 206: Tiger-shaped Qigong is perfected, capture Guang Chanzi!

However, after Xie An and Su Yuqing finalized the plan, they began to implement it.

Su Yuqing and Master Huang, two fourth-grade masters, concealed their auras and watched every move around the Xie residence. Like ghosts hidden in the darkness, they were extremely difficult for outsiders to detect.

You know, a fourth-grade grandmaster is an extremely rare existence.

Unless one is a Grandmaster of the fourth rank or above, it would be difficult to notice that there are two Grandmasters of the fourth rank hidden in this small Xie Mansion.

And Xie An also started to get busy.

Since Jin Xiaotang is used as bait to fish, there will be certain dangers for the Xie Mansion in the future.

Xie An found an excuse to send Chunlan and his two disciples out to stay at the Weisheng Martial Arts School for a few days, leaving Yuhe in charge of daily affairs in the mansion.

After making all the arrangements, Xie An immediately found Chen Tie, Zhao Qing'er, and Wei Haoran, and then found Liu Chun, asking them to find a reliable fisherman to release the news...

Even though Chen Tie and others had been dismissed from their jobs and were unemployed at home, spending their days drinking to drown their sorrows, Xie An always kept in touch with them.

Now that the time has finally come to take effect, Chen Tie and the others naturally know the importance of it.

After finishing all this, Xie An returned to Xie Mansion tiredly.

Since the main room in the courtyard was given to Jin Xiaotang to stay, Xie An had to go to the backyard to rest.

Fortunately, the backyard is big enough and has many rooms, so it is not a problem to clear out one more room for Xie An to stay.

After checking into the room, Xie An closed the door and slumped down on the drunkard's chair. Only then did he feel much more relaxed physically and mentally.

Everything is ready, it just depends on whether Guang Chanzi falls into the trap.

Xie An also knew that his part of the work had been completed, and he didn't need to get involved in the next matter. The princess would be in charge.

Xie An went over all the details of the plan in his mind. In the end, he felt that the probability of Guang Chanzi falling into the trap was very high.

On the one hand, the information provided by the ten fishermen had been thoroughly verified, and the details matched. If Guang Chanzi's men found any other nearby fishermen, they would get the same information. The details matched each other, and there were no obvious loopholes.

In addition, Su Yuqing and Master Huang concealed their presence, so as long as Guang Chanzi's men reached the Xie Mansion and saw Jin Xiaotang in person, they would no longer have any doubts.

Furthermore, Xie An had been promoted to the rank of Fifth Rank General thanks to the Princess's favor. Guang Chanzi would undoubtedly worry that Jin Xiaotang was approaching Xie An in order to gain access to the Princess. This would cause Guang Chanzi to panic, and he would become anxious.

Even so, Xie An still felt a little nervous.

After all, it was the first time to fight against a being of Guang Chanzi's level.

call!
Xie An took a deep breath, then cleared his mind, put away the album and map given by Chenxi, sat down cross-legged on the spot, and began to practice Tiger Form Qigong and Mingyu Qigong.

The operation to hunt Guang Chanzi is about to begin, and Xie An wants to improve his strength as much as possible, even just a little bit.

Although Su Yuqing was there to back him up, and Master Huang was by his side, Xie An still felt that there might be danger. It was always good to have more strength. If something unexpected happened, he would have more strength to escape...

Practice all night.

The next morning, Yuhe reported:
Among the fishermen arranged by Chen Tie and his team, one was questioned by two monks.

Xie An was very happy to hear this.

According to his and Chen Tie's plan, they found more than ten reliable fishermen and went to the Huai River where Guang Chanzi had previously hunted Jin Xiaotang. If any fisherman was questioned, it meant that the plan was accomplished.

Now it seems that we have a good start.

Soon, Yuhe said she wanted to find a tiler to repair the roof tiles.

Xie An agreed.

Half a day later, the bricklayer arrived.

Xie An also secretly observed the bricklayer. On the surface, he looked ordinary, but Xie An felt that this person's blood and energy were very strong. He was obviously a martial artist.

Moreover, while the bricklayer was repairing the tiles, he kept glancing towards the main house from the corner of his eye. He only stopped when he saw Jin Xiaotang opening the window.

Xie An knew what was going on.

He knew things were about to explode.

To this end, Xie An closed the door and continued to sit in seclusion, concentrating on connecting the Qi nodes of Tiger Qigong, trying to connect all 100 nodes as quickly as possible.

It is obviously unrealistic to practice Mingyu Gong to the twentyth level in a short period of time, but it is possible to connect the last few Qi nodes of Tiger Form Qigong.

It was late at night.

hum!
Xie An connected them together into 99 nodes.

Qi and blood surged within his body, and he could faintly hear the roar of a tiger. Heat surged, permeating his entire body. The complete Tiger Form Qigong was about to take shape.

Just when Xie An was trying to connect the last node, he was unable to do so and failed repeatedly.

This made Xie An very puzzled.

Just the last little bit.

It doesn't work every time.

After several failed attempts, Xie An chose to stop and rest for a while.

Whoohoo!
The long period of high concentration made Xie An physically and mentally exhausted, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"It seems that we can't force it."

Since Xie An developed the ninth level of internal energy, he has clearly felt that his body's coordination and the precision of his control over the movement of Qi have significantly improved. This has accelerated his progress in Tiger Form Qigong.

Xie An felt that with his current control over Tiger Form Qigong, there would be no problem connecting the last node.

There's no reason, just a strong intuition.

But don't be too hasty.

Moreover, as Xie An connected more and more Tiger Qigong nodes, he felt more and more that once Tiger Qigong was achieved, the power it would produce would be extremely terrifying. It might become the most powerful killing method Xie An had practiced so far.

After all, I have been practicing health-preserving exercises for eight years, and this is the first health-preserving exercise that has offensive capabilities.

It is still advanced through fate.

Xie An was very much looking forward to this.

After adjusting his mindset a bit, Xie An suppressed his excitement, worry, anxiety, and other negative emotions, and once again focused all his energy on Tiger Form Qigong itself.

"Let's try again. I don't believe it's impossible, old man."

Xie An concentrated his attention and practiced Tiger Form Qigong again.

According to past experience, the ninety-nine Qi nodes in the body quickly connected in series, with only the last Qi node at the tiger head missing. Once they were connected in series, they would achieve great success.

He rode the heat and slowly approached the last node.

Just as it was about to be pulled in series, it encountered strong resistance and the series connection failed.

Three attempts, all ended in failure.

"Hmm? Why would you reject it?"

Xie An pondered the reason.

Xie An now has connected most of the tiger-form qigong, and a gaseous tiger has indeed appeared in his body, but the tiger's head is drooping, as if it has wilted, and has no domineering aura at all.

Xie An opened the image of the mighty tiger in his mind, carefully observing the nodes and comparing them with each other.

In the end, Xie An discovered that the tiger he painted was far inferior to the tiger's in spirit.

The charm of a tiger lies in its head?

Do I have to start from the tiger's head to thread the needle?
First comes the spirit, then the body shape?
After coming up with this idea, Xie An decided to give it a try. He started by connecting the nodes at the tiger head...

Sure enough, it went smoothly this time.

With the last node connected in series, the one hundred nodes are fully connected.

Hey!
The gaseous tiger in the body suddenly became lifelike, raised its head and roared to the sky.

It has a bit of the power of a tiger roaring in the mountains.

Immediately afterwards, Xie An felt the originally gentle heat in his body suddenly become extremely powerful and violent. It was injected into the gaseous tiger and transformed into an unstoppable and peerless martial art. So much so that the heat flowed out from Xie An's skin pores and transformed into an invisible gaseous tiger outside his body.

Xie An was shocked by such divine power.

It seemed as if he was no longer an ordinary person, but had turned into the king of the forest.

Every gesture and movement was filled with an unprecedented power.

Every punch he throws has tremendous force.

So strong!

"I'll try activating the Mingyu Gong again."

Xie An slowly stood up and pushed the 19th level of Mingyu Gong to its limit, his skin becoming translucent. His five senses, Qi perception, speed, strength, and reflexes were all enhanced by the Tiger Qigong.

More than doubled. Brush!
As Xie An took a step forward, his body suddenly appeared several meters away, without even leaving a shadow.

What a great speed!

Because he was in the room, Xie An didn't dare to try to punch casually, but he knew clearly that he had become a human beast at this moment.

Xie An looked at his own shining five fingers and smiled brightly, "It's truly amazing. It's worthy of being the advanced version of the Five Animal Play. With my current strength and speed, I can definitely go head-to-head with a Ninth Rank Grandmaster. With a little surprise attack, I should be able to kill a Ninth Rank Grandmaster instantly."

Xie An flashed back and forth in the room, and it took him a long time to adapt to this new tiger-shaped Qigong.

It’s like getting a big favorite toy, and I really want to find an expert to touch it.

Finally, Xie An reluctantly finished his work.

Bring up the panel.

[Tiger Qigong: 100/100; Bear Qigong: 0/100]

Xie An breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help laughing.

The mastery of Tiger Form Qigong means that even if you encounter a ninth-grade master, you can defeat him.

This adds a self-protection capability to the upcoming arrest operation.

Before Xie An could say anything happy, there was a knock on the door.

Xie An immediately went to open the door, only to see Su Yuqing standing at the door in a navy blue suit with a wooden box slung over her back.

"Xie An, Guang Chanzi and two monks have arrived and are hiding in the big tree next door. They need to prepare to take action."

Although Xie An had been mentally prepared for this, he was still shocked after hearing this in person. "What is the specific situation?"

Su Yuqing made no secret of anything, "They've been lurking for several hours. I just saw Jin Xiaotang open the window in the main room of the courtyard. Now Guang Chanzi has left, and the other monk has also left. They should go find help. I want to follow them and see. You stay here. If anything happens, have Master Huang come forward."

Xie An bowed and said, "Princess, be careful."

"I know it well."

Su Yuqing left a word and then disappeared into a shadow.

Xie An also began to make intensive preparations.

He packed up the banknotes, the exquisite seven-treasure box, and the demon-suppressing knife. He also packed up a few black iron pen needles. Then he sat in the room and waited quietly.

About an hour later, Su Yuqing returned.

She was a fourth-grade Grandmaster, with extraordinary skills and could come and go like the wind. Jin Xiaotang in the courtyard naturally didn't know.

Xie An hurriedly asked, "What's the situation?"

Su Yuqing said, "Guang Chanzi went to see Li Hao and is on his way back. Another monk went to call over an even more powerful old monk, also a fourth-grade Grandmaster. They are about to arrive at Xie Mansion. I suspect they will start fighting here."

Xie An weighed the pros and cons and said, "If we take action here, it will easily affect innocent people. I will let Jin Xiaotang leave. Let her go."

Su Yuqing thought about it and agreed.

So, Xie An went to the east wing of the courtyard and took Master Huang to Jin Xiaotang's room.

"After my verification, the information you provided is fine. You may leave. Master Huang, please untie her hidden restraints."

Master Huang glared at Chenxi fiercely, then untied the restraints on her body and stepped behind Xie An.

Chenxi practiced a little, and found that there was nothing wrong with her body. Although she had only recovered 30% to 40% of her strength, she felt that was enough.

"Xie An, you are indeed trustworthy. The information I provided is correct. Goodbye."

After saying that, Jin Xiaotang walked out of the room and climbed over the wall.

Xie An and Master Huang exchanged glances, then followed him out.

……

But after Chenxi left Xie's house, he walked out of the county town.

Walking along the forest path, she was very happy and had a sinister smile on her face.

"Guang Chanzi, you ungrateful fellow, have ruined my grand plan. I can no longer stay in Qingwu County, but that won't be a problem for me. I've already mastered the art of corpse refining. I can find a few villages and massacre them to heal my injuries. Then I can change my appearance and sneak back to Qingwu County."

"I don't care about royal power or wealth. I just want to see what's inside the Seven Treasures Box. Once Xie An opens the box, I'll find a good opportunity to snatch it back."

Thinking of this, Jin Xiaotang quickened his pace and headed towards the desolate village outside the city.

With the art of corpse refining at hand, he can be cured by slaughtering a few hundred villagers.

The future is still promising.

At this moment, four people appeared in front, blocking the middle of the road.

The full moon hangs high in the sky, and the moonlight is beautiful.

Jin Xiaotang saw the appearance of the four people from a distance and stopped immediately, shocked.

It turned out to be Guang Chanzi, and the two bald monks Fadu and Fayuan. In addition, there was an old monk wearing a red cassock. Judging from his aura, his strength was extremely terrifying.

Dengdengdeng.

Jin Xiaotang kept backing away, a thought forming in his mind: "I just left Xie's house and ran into Guang Chanzi. How could it be such a coincidence? Xie An must have tricked me."

Xie An...damn thief!
Jin Xiaotang was filled with grief and indignation.

Guang Chanzi, who was sitting opposite, naturally didn't know what Jin Xiaotang was thinking. He showed a sinister smile and said, "My dear sister, where are you going in the middle of the night? Your brother misses you so much."

Jin Xiaotang gritted his teeth and said, "Brother, you've been set up. Get out of here quickly. This place is dangerous."

"Hehe, my dear sister, you are about to die, and you still want to deceive me? Am I so easy to deceive?" Guang Chanzi didn't listen at all, and laughed viciously: "Why don't you accept your fate? If you had died before, there wouldn't be so many problems. I didn't expect you to be so vicious, trying to go through that Xie An to seek refuge with the princess and sell me out. If you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust.

Master Pudu, please kill this man!"

"Amitabha."

The old monk in a red cassock chanted a Buddhist name, then took out a rosary and said, "Donor, please go to hell."

As soon as he finished speaking, the rosary in his hand suddenly shattered, breaking into beads that rushed towards Jin Xiaotang one by one. Each bead emitted a turquoise light, transforming into a deadly weapon.

"Idiots! You don't even know that you've been tricked!" Jin Xiaotang knew that he was no match for his opponent, but he also knew that he had no way out. He spread his hands apart, and the secret storage was opened. The vital energy outside his body surged, and his body flashed left and right at high speed, avoiding the beads that were attacking him at high speed.

These tiny beads looked insignificant, but at that moment, their speed was so great that they could cut through gold and jade. Jin Xiaotang, still wounded, had no choice but to dodge with difficulty. While she was distracted, the old monk had already rushed over to her and slammed his palm heavily into her chest.

In an instant, the wind and clouds exploded, the ground collapsed, and a huge force erupted, shattering Jin Xiaotang's internal organs. His body flew backwards more than ten meters, and he vomited blood.

"Hehe, sister, I didn't expect you to have this day." Seeing Jin Xiaotang vomiting blood and unable to even stand up, Guang Chanzi walked out from behind the crowd with a big knife. "I know that corpse refining is very magical. I wonder if you can still survive if I cut off your head."

Guang Chanzi raised his sword and was about to chop off Jin Xiaotang's head when he suddenly heard a terrible scream behind him.

Ok?
Guang Chanzi turned around suddenly and saw that Fadu and Fayuan's heads had been torn off their necks and flew out, landing at his feet. They stared at him with wide eyes. Blood spurted a foot high from the broken necks.

"Is there anyone else?"

Guang Chanzi was shocked and immediately retreated behind Master Pudu, looking around vigilantly.

Under the shadow of the tree in front, a heroic woman in navy blue tights slowly walked out, with a long box on her back and cloud boots on her feet.

"Guang Chanzi, I've been looking for you for a long time."

Guang Chanzi was horrified, "Who are you?"

"You'll know when I catch you." Su Yuqing stopped and slowly took off the metal ball necklace hanging on her chest.

Jin Xiaotang finally guessed something and was horrified. "You, you are the eldest princess of the dynasty, Su Yuqing?"

Su Yuqing did not answer, but held the small metal ball and slowly opened her palm.

the other side.

Xie An brought the white fox and followed Master Huang to the nearby area early, hiding behind a big tree dozens of meters away to watch.

Although Master Huang and Xie An rarely go out together, the white fox still chooses to lie on Xie An's shoulder, which makes Master Huang feel heartbroken. He glares at the white fox repeatedly, but the white fox pretends not to see him. Finally, Master Huang has to give up with pain.

However, Xie An did not pay attention to Master Huang's thoughts, but was shocked to see Su Yuqing kill two eighth-grade masters, Fadu and Fayuan, with just a few moves.

Is this the power of a fourth-grade Grandmaster?
Although Su Yuqing was extremely brave, Xie An was still worried about her. "Master Huang, is that old monk a fourth-grade master?"

Master Huang said, "Yes."

Xie An nodded and said, "If the princess is defeated, please ask Master Huang to help."

Master Huang said magnanimously, "Of course. I consider General Xie a brother and would never let Ling Zheng take any risks."

Xie An was speechless, but he didn't explain much. "Thank you, Master Huang."

Next, Xie An opened his eyes wide, looking forward to seeing the methods of a fourth-grade master.
