Chapter 80: Chapter 80: Candle Dragon, Taigu, Combined as One
A mountain of corpses.
Sticky, slick blood covering the ground.
Bits of flesh and severed limbs were scattered everywhere.
And the thick, heavy stench of blood filled the air.
Even a battle-hardened veteran would be stunned speechless by this horrific scene.
Especially the acrid smell of blood.
It was enough to make one’s stomach churn and boil.
And for Lin Yi, it was the first time he had ever witnessed such a bloody spectacle.
He didn’t stop until he had thrown up everything he had eaten that day.
He even retched up mouthfuls of stomach acid before the heaving slowly subsided.
He clutched his aching stomach, his entire body feeling weak...
"Finished puking?"
Only then did Chu Zhengxiong glance at him with a smile.
He took a drag from the cigarette between his fingers.
Lin Yi nodded, wiping away the residue from the corner of his mouth.
"Well, there’s nothing left to puke out anyway!"
"Hahaha... You’re not bad, kid. At least you’re doing much better than I did back in the day!"
"Scenes like this are common in the Restricted Area. The first time I went into the Restricted Area, I threw up even worse than you did. Almost puked my guts out!"
Chu Zhengxiong lit another cigarette.
He turned around, a small vial of potion now in his hand.
"Drink this. It’ll make you feel better!"
"What is this?"
Lin Yi took it, a little puzzled, and glanced down.
Written on the bottle were the words "Nutrient Compound."
"It can relieve the feeling of exhaustion after throwing up, and it’ll fill you up too!"
Chu Zhengxiong glanced at him and explained with a smile.
Just as he was about to walk away, he added, "I brought this from the New District. You can’t buy it in the Old District!"
"A compound from the New District?"
Lin Yi looked at the potion in his hand.
The next moment, he opened it and gulped it down.
In less than a few seconds, the potion took effect.
The feeling of exhaustion from just a moment ago vanished completely, and at the same time, it felt as if he had eaten a large meal.
His stomach gradually started to feel full.
Lin Yi felt the changes in his body.
Inside, he was utterly astonished.
’A single vial of potion has such an effect?’
’It can relieve the weakness from vomiting and give you a strong feeling of fullness?’
’Has the technology in the New District already reached this level?’
This was something that simply couldn’t exist in the Old District where he lived.
Or rather, such a resource was completely out of reach for the Old District...
No wonder so many people were desperate to get into a Martial Arts University.
It was their ticket to entering the New District and starting a new life.
This single bottle of Nutrient Compound alone was enough to blow away anything in the Old District.
For a moment, a desire for the New District flickered in Lin Yi’s eyes.
He wanted to pursue a higher Martial Arts Realm.
To obtain more cultivation resources, he had to enter the New District and get into a Martial Arts University.
This was no longer just about escaping from Lin Dazhi and the others.
It was now a yearning for a higher plane of existence...
"Boss!"
Zhan Kai, Sun Lang, and Snow Angel hurried over.
Chu Zhengxiong glanced back at them. "Mm, are those Martial Artists still alive?"
"They’re all dead. Not a single one survived!"
Zhan Kai replied, his expression impassive.
There wasn’t a trace of emotion on his face, as if he were discussing something perfectly ordinary.
And Chu Zhengxiong, for his part, showed no surprise.
It seemed he had long grown accustomed to it.
He nodded lightly. "It’s better that they’re dead. Their meridians were severed and their foundations destroyed. Even if they had lived, they wouldn’t have been able to continue practicing Martial Arts. Their Qi and Blood would have slowly drained away, and they would have only suffered more. Death is a release for them!"
"Let’s get them out. Let them leave with some dignity!"
Zhan Kai and Sun Lang nodded. Just as they were about to leave,
Chu Zhengxiong quickly added, "Right, what about the briefcase those demonic beasts were carrying? Did you find it?"
Sun Lang shook his head. "We’ve searched everywhere but didn’t see the briefcase. Boss, do you think someone might have secretly taken it?"
As soon as he said that, a sharp glint flashed in Chu Zhengxiong’s eyes.
A murderous aura emanated from him.
He took a few hard drags from his cigarette, then threw the butt on the ground and stamped it out.
"Get to work. The Martial Arts Police Station should be here soon!"
Hearing this, Zhan Kai and Sun Lang exchanged a look and walked toward the wooden crates.
They were going to collect the bodies of the Martial Artists...
CLICK—
Chu Zhengxiong lit another cigarette.
He took a few deep drags, exhaling clouds of smoke, then turned to look at Lin Yi, who was standing beside him.
"How are you? Feeling recovered?"
Lin Yi nodded with a smile. "This potion works really well. I recovered as soon as I drank it!"
"Of course. This stuff is expensive. Even we can’t bear to drink a bottle unless it’s absolutely necessary!"
"You shouldn’t have been involved in an operation like this. It was a bit too bloody and brutal!"
"But having gone through this tonight will be good for you in the long run. At the very least, it will temper your state of mind..."
After speaking, Chu Zhengxiong exhaled another mouthful of smoke.
He gave Lin Yi a complicated look. "What’s your relationship with Yi Nanshan?"
"Yi Nanshan?"
Lin Yi was a bit dumbfounded.
It was the first time he had ever heard that name.
He shook his head. "I don’t know him!"
"You don’t know him?"
"Then your saber technique is..."
"The Candle Dragon Ancient Saber Technique? That was a reward from the Martial Arts Hall!" Lin Yi replied.
Chu Zhengxiong was slightly taken aback.
He chuckled and said, "The Candle Dragon Ancient Saber Technique? That was originally two different Top-grade Saber Techniques. One is called Candle Dragon, and the other is called Ancient Saber!"
"The Candle Dragon Saber Technique is exceedingly profound. When mastered, the saber transforms into a Candle Dragon that you can command to defeat your enemies.
The Ancient Saber Technique is the exact opposite. It’s not as flashy, but its movements are wide and sweeping, fierce and powerful. When cultivated to the late stage of perfection, it can integrate with ’Yuan Qi,’ allowing you to form a blade of Qi and use it to vanquish foes..."
"Both of these saber techniques originally came from the Yi Family of Taigu City in the New District. And now they’ve been combined into one?"
Chu Zhengxiong’s eyes flickered as he gave Lin Yi a deep look.
"It’s your good fortune to have obtained these two saber techniques. Cultivate them well. In the future, if you can master them, or even perfect them, you will understand their true profundity!"
Hearing Chu Zhengxiong’s explanation of the [Candle Dragon Ancient Saber Technique],
Lin Yi finally had a general understanding of these two saber techniques.
Top-grade Candle Dragon Saber Technique.
Top-grade Ancient Saber Technique.
They were two different saber techniques that had been forcefully merged together.
’I don’t know who would be so bored,’
’to combine two Top-grade Saber Techniques into one.’
However, through the recent battle,
Lin Yi discovered that the Candle Dragon Saber Technique was even more formidable. When his long saber transformed into a Candle Dragon,
even those demonic beasts were terrified, not daring to fight back.
This was a suppression of bloodlines. Demonic beasts were still beasts, after all.
The intimidating might of a dragon’s roar and a tiger’s cry seemed to be branded into their very blood.
That was why, upon hearing the dragon’s roar,
the fear in their blood was triggered, rendering them unable to move.
"Alright, it’s getting late. You should head home now.
I’ll treat you to a meal later!"
Chu Zhengxiong had reverted to his usual carefree demeanor.
He said with a smile, patting Lin Yi on the shoulder.
Then, he called Snow Angel over. "You, escort him home!"
"Yes, Captain!"
Snow Angel nodded, then looked at Lin Yi and said, "Let’s go. I’ll see you home!"
