Trinity Traitor: From One Person to the Other

Chapter 1033 To learn how to hit, first learn how to take a hit.
"Oh my, that's too fast, my dear sister."

He Songling quickly pulled Ding Shian, who had already died from being poisoned by the elixir, back to his feet.

"Do you think he can understand what's going on with your pill-devouring technique? Even Zhang Zhiwei can only understand a little bit. Just use the ordinary technique."

"Alright then." Lu Huizhong had been playing around with He Songling so much that she forgot that the number and methods of using the Pill Devouring Techniques she possessed were unprecedented in the Tang Sect. If she were outside, she would die without even knowing how she died.

Or, to put it another way, if Lu Huizhong wanted to kill you, with your trachea and lungs soaked in the smog of Dan Shi, you would actually be dead before she even made a move.

The reason why those who have seen Lu Huizhong did not die is because Lu Huizhong left and took away the poison that had seeped into their bodies, thus saving their lives.

Otherwise, if she does nothing, a large number of people will die.

This is the terror of a half-immortal level assassin king, a peak that the Tang Clan has never reached in its history.

"Xiao Ding, get ready."

Ding Shian, who had just been resurrected, stared blankly at Lu Huizhong in front of him. Suddenly, he felt a surge of energy distorted into black lines emanating from her body, filled with fear.

Anger, sorrow, ferocity, violence, and cruelty seemed to be a combination of all terror and despair, yet they also seemed to be none of these emotions. This eerie atmosphere made Lu Huizhong's body seem to begin to twist into a strange pill under Ding Shian's "observation."

The beautiful young woman before him seemed to have transformed into something even more terrifying than a vengeful ghost.

Then, as if it were all an illusion, everything vanished completely. He could no longer sense any Qi or atmosphere, and even Lu Huizhong herself disappeared from his perception. If he hadn't seen Lu Huizhong raise her hand towards him, he would have been certain without hesitation that the person in front of him was dead.

"This, what is this?"

"Don't move." Lu Huizhong's stern voice rang out. "I've stopped. See for yourself if you can see it. If you move, you'll die. If you die, you won't be able to see anything anymore. I won't demonstrate it to you a second time."

"Ah? Oh..."

Ding Shian focused all his energy and Qi on the meridians of his eyes, confident that with his current ability to "see," he could even see microorganisms.

Only then did he see some strange, twisted paths leading forward within his riddled protective qi barrier. And at the end of those paths, there seemed to be tiny pills.

"This is the initial version of the Dan Shi from the Tang Sect, and it is also the Dan Shi that has been used for the longest time. From the founding of the Tang Sect until I became the sect leader, it was used for several hundred years. During these several hundred years, it was the Tang Sect's top secret."

Let alone its operating principles and methods, even the name itself, and whether such a method even exists, are shrouded in secrecy, unknown to outsiders. Even those most familiar with the Tang Clan can only guess that the Tang Clan possesses a trump card that guarantees a fatal blow, nothing more.

Lu Huizhong looked at Ding Shian, who was observing Dan Shi, and said, "However, with Lao He first developing a new method of Dan Shi cultivation, coupled with the changes of the times and my continuous innovation in Dan Shi, it has been developed to at least the third generation. There is no need to keep the initial Dan Shi a secret anymore."

Feel free to look around; it would be best if you gained something. Just a heads-up, He Songling learned it after reading it a few times. If you can learn it too, I, on behalf of the Tang Clan, promise not to hold you accountable.

"You really think highly of me," Ding Shian said with a wry smile. He was just watching this thing for fun. He didn't even understand the principles behind it, so how could he possibly gain anything from it? As he watched, he seemed to have gained some insights, but in the next second, he completely overturned his previous guesses.

However, given Ding Shian's talent, the fact that he was able to witness it was a gain in itself. Although he couldn't compare to He Songling, who was like a cheat code, it wasn't impossible for him to imitate the "unknowable" and "unpredictable" characteristics of Dan Shi and create his own method.

"Let's disperse." He Songling saw that Ding Shian could no longer see anything new, so he waved his hand and completely dispelled his protective qi barrier, along with Lu Huizhong's Dan Shi.

"Little Ding, it's alright. You can learn from me later. I can't guarantee you'll be able to handle this level of pill-devouring with ease. Things that require time to accumulate here don't count, because I have a time chamber that can accelerate time for you. The most important thing is whether you can find that bit of enlightenment in the profound gate."

He Songling pointed at Lu Jin, who had been knocked down from the sky by the tiger-like figure, and sneered, "My foolish junior brother doesn't have that talent. He's over a hundred years old and still hasn't found that point. I hope you can."

Ding Shian swallowed hard.

I was too busy fighting with Lu Huizhong to see what was happening, but now just looking at those two tiger-like fists, which directly shattered Lu Jin's Qi body, it was absolutely terrifying.

"What are you afraid of?" He Songling patted Ding Shian's shoulder. "I have more faith in you. If you learn from me, I think you can defeat Zhang Zhiwei before Na Ruhu does."

"That's great! Senior, what's the first thing we should do?" Ding Shian quickly got into the swing of things.

"Get beaten up."

"what?"

For the next ten days or so, Ding Shian was constantly being beaten.

Besides Lu Huizhong and He Songling, Lu Jin and Na Ruhu would also beat him up from time to time. In He Songling's words, Old Lu is already this old, even if he opens the Xuanmen, he will not become an immortal. This is the limit of his life. It is better to make use of him and let him be a sparring partner for these two kids.

As for Ru Hu, he certainly lived up to He Songling's expectations, never losing to Lu Jin even once in the past few days; Lu Jin's best result was always a draw. But Ding Shian was a difficult opponent.

Once the triple attack is activated, Ding Shian will be defeated in just a few moves. Even if he manages to withstand those few moves, he will only be able to take the hits and will have no chance to fight back.

After all, He Songling had devised a whole host of methods combining sword energy, magic, esoteric arts, and reverse life techniques to improve the limited attack methods of the Sanyi Sect disciples. Lu Jin had a wide variety of attack methods.

But if you don't activate the triple stimulation, it seems like it won't have much of an exercise effect.

Therefore, Old Ding had no choice but to join Lu Jin and Na Ru Hu in their battle, with the two of them fighting Na Ru Hu together.

To be honest, Old Ding, who was ranked second in the world in the original work, is now ranked as the undisputed leader under 100 years old. Although he seems a bit weak compared to those who have been instructed by He Songling, he instantly becomes much more important once he becomes the final weight that can tip the scales.

As a result, Ru Hu won fewer battles. Although he didn't lose many, most of the time he only managed to draw by relying on his strong physical defense to withstand attacks.
