I am a living immortal.
Chapter 116 The Way of Killing
Shao Shang was not like Su Mu. He met many people from the world of immortal cultivation and many fellow practitioners along the way. He traveled alone through mountains and rivers. Although he did not meet any fellow practitioners, he did see many monsters.
This man also has a strong sense of justice.
He hadn't been cultivating immortality for long, but he had already made it his mission to slay demons and eliminate evil. Along the way, he had escaped death several times and was on the verge of death several times, but he survived by relying on his willpower.
Don’t be fooled by his youthful appearance; that’s because he has cultivated immortality and his youthful appearance remains.
Some people are already in their seventies or eighties, but it is amazing that their appearance remains unchanged, and their character remains unchanged as well.
It took fifty years to grow from a teenager to a young adult.
Tongnan Pass may not even be called by that name now, and it’s not even certain whether it still exists, but he always added this place name before his name.
Others added the name of the famous Immortal Sect Lingfu.
And he added it only because that's where he came from.
He has extraordinary killing skills. From the difficulty in slaying demons at the beginning to the ease he can do now, the Mo Dao and longbow have become a part of him, with a strong military atmosphere.
It also implements the morality and righteousness of his life.
He may not have Su Mu's unpredictable means, but his skills are earned through killing with a sword and an arrow. He relied on entry-level means to kill his way out. He used the sword and bow as basically as using his arms. The use of his spiritual energy was all for killing, killing faster and more, and killing with every move.
Su Mu dared to discuss the Dao with others but only to a certain extent, but she did not want to discuss the Dao with the young man in front of her, because once the sword was drawn, it would be stained with blood, and regardless of life or death, it was a fight to the death.
Even when things reach the extreme point, one can still retain one's character.
The more Su Mu understood, the more amazed she was.
Shao Shang, on the other hand, picked out some thrilling things to talk about while eating.
"But now, everything is over." Shao Shang raised his glass to toast Su Mu and himself.
Su Mu also raised her glass, but found that Shao Shang's hand holding the glass was missing a finger.
As if sensing his gaze, Shao Shang didn't feel embarrassed. Instead, he spoke as if reminiscing about the past: "This is the price I paid for my youthful recklessness."
"That year, I passed through a city. Due to years of war, the land was left uncultivated. Coupled with a severe drought, famine broke out. People were trading their children for food. People didn't even have a pig, and a lamb was worth money."
"I hadn't eaten for several days, but someone took pity on me and gave me a bowl of thin vegetable porridge."
"However, things don't go as planned. First we encountered famine, then we encountered bandits."
"I had barely eaten half the bowl of porridge when I heard cries and shouts, burning, killing, and looting."
"Killing and eating happened right in front of me,"
"I was so young and reckless back then. I was alone, and we faced thirteen men, all on horseback, armed with swords, and wearing leather armor."
"Even though the disparity is so huge, I still have no hesitation."
"Hold the bow tightly in your hand, raise your hand and shoot three arrows to kill three people."
"This inevitably led to a counterattack by the bandits. That was the closest I ever came to death."
"One man against ten others, struggling to hold on. What was he thinking? He had to survive for the remaining half bowl of vegetable porridge."
"But at that time, I hadn't entered the immortal path for a long time. The spiritual energy circulated in my body and then dissipated into the world. I was just a young man with stronger muscles and bones."
"I was already exhausted after killing the fifth person with my skills."
"When I killed the eighth person, my fingers were cut off and the sword pierced my chest, missing my heart by a hair's breadth. I would have died at the hands of the bandit's sword."
"I'm lucky. Not only did that sword strike not kill me, it also gave me an opportunity to fight back."
"The last two people's laxity allowed me to win a decisive battle. That day, I lost my finger but became an immortal. In a pool of blood, I drank a bowl of thin vegetable porridge. It feels so good to be alive."
"Thanks to these bandits, I was able to taste horse meat."
“This is the beginning of my journey to immortality.”
"The price of youthful recklessness."
Shao Shang was still excited when he talked about it. As he spoke, he gestured to show how dangerous the scene was and how he was able to survive only because of luck.
But Su Mu could see that there was not a trace of regret in his eyes.
Although he nearly died in this battle, the only thing keeping him alive was a bowl of thin vegetable porridge.
Su Mu had seen too many grand scenes, such as slaying the tiger demon and destroying the lake god.
This battle was like playing house to him, but he still admired Shao Shang, still admired this warrior who dared to pick up a sword and kill a stronger one.
Su Mu took out the gourd from her waist.
He poured a glass of wine and handed it over.
"Heroes!"
"Great!!! It's so refreshing!!!" Shao Shang drank it all in one gulp.
"Come again!!"
Su Mu poured another glass of wine.
While drinking, I still didn't forget to eat the food on the table.
After three drinks.
Shao Shang talked about the reason why he came to Beihai.
The original reason for coming to the North Sea was to meet more fellow practitioners and to look for the secret manual of cultivating immortals. After all, he only got a basic volume of immortal techniques at the beginning.
It's interesting to say that although Shao Shang cultivated immortality, his understanding of immortals came from those storybooks. Apart from monsters, he didn't encounter any gods, ghosts or strange stories.
The ghosts and monsters didn't dare to get close to him at all. The evil aura from his body could scare them even from a distance.
He doesn't look like an immortal cultivator. Su Mu had felt this a long time ago. If Su Mu would feel this way, let alone other fellow cultivators, most of them would not dare to acknowledge him. Hesitation means there is no fate. This is the thinking of immortals, so even if they meet, they will always miss each other.
As for gods, he had encountered them before. He had seen the figures of gods from afar.
But I have never dealt with it, so I can only say that there is a bit of metaphysics involved.
So he is still practicing that basic immortal seal script.
However, when he arrived at the North Sea, he found that it was not necessary.
The North Sea is like a goal, driving him forward.
When you arrive, you will see the truth.
Su Mu didn't know whether the person who had guided Shao Shang had such good intentions, or whether it was an unintentional act. It didn't matter now.
Shao Shang's killing skills no longer need other magic to embellish them. If they are forced into it, it will only make him inferior. Apart from some auxiliary magic such as driving away clouds and spitting out mist, he has already formed his own way, and his killing skills are natural.
Already walked out of his own way.
The next step is to practice this to the extreme, and Shao Shang obviously understands this as well.
Even if he didn't reach the source of the horizon, he had already gained something.
Shao Shang did not leave. With the simple idea that he was already here, he wanted to discuss with other fellow Taoists. However, he thought that not many people would dare to discuss Taoism with him. His Taoism was in the sword and on the string, but not in his mouth.
Every move you make when discussing philosophy with him is fatal.
Who is dancing with a sword? No, who is discussing the Dao?
