Starting with the divine power of the Great Vajra, he traversed the heavens.

Chapter 48 Kunlun Sword Technique (Majorly revised, combined into one chapter)

Blood Blade Ancestor was seen being plunged into the wall, twitching a few times before falling still.

The room fell silent for a moment.

Ren Shaoyang turned his head; he had already experienced firsthand how formidable the old monk was.

He possesses a bizarre and unorthodox sword technique called "Blood in the Wind," which allows him to use momentum against others, making ruthless and decisive moves, coupled with a twisted and shameless personality.

It's practically the top-tier combat power in this martial arts world.

But was he really killed by just one punch?
Seeing that Blood Blade Ancestor's shoes had been blown off, leaving only his bare feet sticking out from under the wall.

Ren Shaoyang still felt something was wrong and had some doubts.

Just then, Ding Dian outside swayed and leaned against the wall, his face as pale as paper.

Just then, Hongxiu and Ding'an approached, talking as they walked.

Ding An said, "Little beggar, you've struck twice in quick succession. Can your body withstand it?"

Hongxiu's face turned pale, but she chuckled and said, "Full of energy!"

Ding An breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that the ginseng slices are really useful, but after taking them for several months, the quantity is not enough."

As he spoke, he became somewhat discouraged.

"Sigh, I keep failing and always drag everyone down."

Hongxiu tiptoed and patted his shoulder, saying with a grin, "Didn't the cripple say that a fast knife is easy to dodge, but a slow knife is hard to defend against? Combining fast and slow is better. I'll help you analyze it when we get back."

He patted his chest and said, "I guarantee you'll make progress!"

Ding'an, who was already feeling down, was immediately moved when he heard Hongxiu say this: "Little beggar!"

Ren Shaoyang smiled slightly, his robe sleeves fluttering, turned around and strode to the wall, suddenly throwing a punch and a kick.

Whoops!

A hole as tall as a person was torn open in the wall, and bricks and dust flew everywhere. Ding Dian retreated repeatedly upon seeing this.

Ren Shaoyang glanced at him, then smiled at the little beggar and said, "You two, one can't learn it and the other can't practice it, you really complement each other."

"Big brother doesn't talk about second brother." Hongxiu stuck out her tongue. "You haven't figured out the 'Eye-Clearing Style' either!"

"These three techniques are too difficult," Ren Shaoyang said, scratching his head. "Without sudden enlightenment, it's simply impossible."

As he spoke, he seemed to remember something, and his voice gradually softened, while his expression grew increasingly grim.

Seeing his drastic change in expression, Hongxiu felt a pang of panic: "Crippled man, what happened?"

Ren Shaoyang did not reply, but turned around and ran wildly into the house with astonishing speed.

The last time I killed Cao Shaoqin, my cheat system went off with a "ding" and displayed a reward.

But why not this time?
The fact that a cheat code can't make mistakes can only mean one thing.

Damn it, this "one-eared" guy is playing dead!

At the same time, Blood Blade Ancestor also heard the sound of wind, and as if a spring had been pressed, he sprang outwards with a whoosh, stomping his feet hard against the wall.

"Boom!"
The wall collapsed, and broken bricks flew wildly towards Ren Shaoyang as he entered the room.

Ren Shaoyang waved his hand, sending the wall bricks flying. Seeing that the Blood Blade Ancestor was fleeing desperately with his naked body and his movements were incredibly agile, he chased after him like a whirlwind.

Two figures chased and fled, leaping and bounding, playing hide-and-seek within the city of Jingzhou.

Ren Shaoyang knew that Blood Blade Ancestor was ruthless to others and even more ruthless to himself. In addition, he disregarded all rules. If he let this person go, he would become a major threat.

In light of this, Ren Shaoyang strode forward and pursued the enemy with all his might.

As the one who fled, Blood Blade Ancestor was even more distressed.

He was already seriously injured, and now, as he frantically ran away, his internal injuries flared up again, causing him to vomit blood as he ran.

At the same time, Ren Shaoyang realized that he couldn't catch up with him using his lightness skill, so he came up with a plan.

He used his internal force to activate the iron rod, and it miraculously extended several feet with a "whoosh," shortening the distance between the two of them.

"Pfft!"

"Ouch!" Blood Blade Ancestor had a gash on his back, and the pain made him jerk over like a carp, his feet moving faster as he struggled.

Ren Shaoyang took a breath, and after the iron rod shortened, he used his strength to make it longer and slashed repeatedly, cursing loudly: "One-Ear, you damn it, you stand there!"

Blood Blade Ancestor screamed as he was hacked at, his back now covered in grotesque blades, yet he still shouted, "Ren Shaoyang, ah! Stop chasing me! I must have owed you something in my past life!"

"Damn it, I'll kill you!"

"Ren Shaoyang, you're as stubborn as a donkey!"

The two men's frantic shouts and curses echoed throughout the entire city of Jingzhou, waking countless sleeping children who huddled under their blankets, trembling with fear.

Ren Shaoyang was also impressed; he had never seen anyone like the Blood Blade Ancestor!
He had suffered dozens of wounds, his back was almost covered in cuts and bruises, yet he still managed to run away frantically. Anyone else, seeing that pool of blood, would probably faint from fright.

Blood Blade Ancestor's obsession with survival was truly etched into his very bones!

The two of them ran and howled all the way.

Just then, the Blood Saber Ancestor, his expression a mixture of despair and ruthlessness, suddenly shouted, "Do you want the Liancheng Secret Manual?"

He recited the numbers one by one, and then roared like thunder, echoing throughout the city.

"Find Ding Dian and Ren Shaoyang! All the treasure is with them!"

Ren Shaoyang followed behind, listening to him reveal the Liancheng Jue, which he had pursued his whole life, and even disgusting himself at the end, and sighed.

"Blood Blade Ancestor, you really haven't changed your ways!"

The two chased and fled, and had already arrived at a dense forest. Suddenly, Blood Blade Ancestor stumbled and could no longer support himself, collapsing to the ground.

He was so exhausted from running that he was almost drained of blood, but he still struggled to lift his head and use both his hands and feet to slowly climb up the slope through the dense forest.

Blood Blade Ancestor was somewhat delirious, feeling powerless in his hands and feet, so he used his elbows to support himself on the ground and moved forward.

"I can't die, I don't want to die, I..."

"Clang!"

Ren Shaoyang kicked the blood-stained knife away, then stepped on the mangled back, expressionless.

"You are the most disgusting villain I have ever seen. You really make me feel uncomfortable and upset."

Blood Blade Ancestor groaned as he was trampled, yet he still greedily inhaled, "Live, live."

His vision blurred, and he seemed to see himself seventy years ago again, when he had just been brought to the Blood Blade Sect, when he was trampled on by his senior brother, and when he was on the verge of death.

Ah, this moment is just like that moment.

and many more!

How did I manage to survive that brush with death?
Blood Blade Ancestor mustered his strength.

"Yes, I was being stepped on, and my arm couldn't swing the knife, but I practiced Tantric yoga and secretly developed a method to use my feet as knives, which allowed me to shatter his skull and escape death!"

The old monk became completely energetic, even more so than before. His heart seemed to pound, and all his muscles tensed up again.

He knew that this was his last flame, and once it had burned out, it would be completely extinguished.

However, if one could take this unprecedented enemy with them before dying.

Well, that's worth it!

Thinking of this, the light in the Blood Blade Ancestor's eyes dimmed, and he said, "Ren Shaoyang, you know that the little girl's blood and energy are always depleted after using the 'Robbery Blade,' is it because..."

Ren Shaoyang was startled and quickly asked, "Why?"

The light in Blood Blade Ancestor's eyes dimmed completely, then he suddenly grinned maliciously, "Because you'll never know!"

With a slight sway of his body, he suddenly lashed out with a leg like a scorpion, his heel striking wildly towards the back of Ren Shaoyang's head.

But the wind howls like a knife, like a long halberd or a great axe.

This was a bizarre and insidious move. No ordinary person would ever imagine that someone who had been stepped on could survive so miraculously, retaliating with a back kick and a knife. Ninety-nine percent of people would find it impossible to defend against; just taking a hit would surely split their head in two!

Unfortunately, Ren Shaoyang fought him three times tonight and was ambushed countless times.

Ren Shaoyang didn't learn anything else, but he learned one principle.

When you are closest to victory, never get cocky, because that is often the moment you die!
Therefore, when the Blood Blade Ancestor used this move to seek life in the face of death.

Ren Shaoyang's eyes flashed with lightning speed, and he shouted loudly.

He spun around and with a whoosh, the iron rod came down from above as fast as lightning, flashing past the Blood Blade Ancestor's eyes as he struggled to look up.

The old monk felt a blur before his eyes and saw that he had floated down in front of him.

Immediately afterwards, with a loud "snap," Blood Blade Ancestor screamed in agony as his entire body, from his buttocks to his bald head, suddenly exploded.

The left side of his face still held the joy of a successful sneak attack, while the right side showed an expression of extreme terror.

"Hey!"

Blood surged into the air, internal organs were violently propelled upwards by the powerful force, and amidst the rain of blood, the two bodies were sent flying in opposite directions.

The force continued, revealing a five-foot-long, half-foot-wide trench in the ground, with sand and blood splattering everywhere.

Ren Shaoyang stood coldly in place, bathed in the blood mist, neither dodging nor avoiding, just watching Blood Blade Ancestor become a half-ancestor.

Immediately afterwards, Blood Blade Ancestors appeared everywhere.

Ren Shaoyang didn't say much, or rather, after this incident, he learned to keep quiet.

He coldly gazed at the two halves of the ancestor, separated by several feet, yet unable to reunite.

He slowly stepped forward and poked it again.

Seeing that the Blood Saber Ancestor was truly dead, he breathed a sigh of relief, but still remained silent.

First, he put away the "Blood-Transforming Divine Blade".

Immediately afterwards, he used an iron chisel to strike sparks on the large bluestone and lit the tinderbox he carried with him.

Then they set the two pieces of the body on fire.

Amidst the raging flames, Ren Shaoyang stared intently with a cold expression until the Blood Blade Ancestor turned to ashes before finally speaking.

"You want to drag me down with the Liancheng Treasure? No problem, we'll deal with whatever comes our way."

As Ren Shaoyang spoke, he turned and walked away, his shadow stretched long in the moonlight, but his voice was firm and resolute: "You want to use the little beggar's blood and qi depletion disease to disturb me?"

"It's alright, I'll search the world for the best doctors to treat her. If that doesn't work, then I'll go find the Heavenly Wrath Sword! If the Heavenly Wrath Sword doesn't work, I'll go find the Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom. No matter what, I will never let the little beggar have any problems!"

Ren Shaoyang suddenly stopped, turned around and glanced at the ashes that had been blown into the sky by the wind, revealing a cold smile.

"If that doesn't work, then I'll take them away to a world where the little beggar can be healed."

"Blood Blade Ancestor, die with endless regret."
-
When Ren Shaoyang returned to the original spot.

Ding Dian and Ling Shuanghua have disappeared without a trace.

Only the little beggar and Ding'an were squatting in the corner.

Hongxiu was dozing off, her hands supporting her face and her head nodding. She was drooling.

Ding'an muttered to himself, drawing on the ground with one hand. He seemed to forget halfway through, so he hit his head and continued to recite from the beginning.

Just then, Hongxiu seemed to sense something. Her big eyes widened suddenly, and she saw the young man walking towards her in the moonlight. She immediately jumped up, raised her hands, and ran away.

"Crippled man, cripple!!!"

Ding An raised his head, chuckled foolishly, wiped the marks on the ground with his foot, and ran off, saying as he ran, "Crippled man, you're finally back!"

Ren Shaoyang suddenly felt a weight on his body, and then saw Hongxiu rush into his arms. When he saw Ding An's silly grin, the murderous aura that had been taut to the limit melted away like ice, revealing a warm smile.

"came back."

Ding An walked up and patted him on the shoulder: "Where's One-Ear?"

Hongxiu raised her head and chuckled, "Right, where's One-Ear?"

Ren Shaoyang proudly raised his head: "It sneaks in with the wind at night!"

The two frowned: "Speak like a human being! We're both country bumpkins from the north, we don't understand!"

Ren Shaoyang laughed heartily: "Crushed to ashes!"

Ding An was taken aback and asked cautiously, "They can't have run away again, can they?"

Hongxiu rolled her eyes: "Severed hand, are you stupid? He's a human, not a ghost or god!"

"Oh, right!" Ding'an scratched his head. "We can't let them get away like that next time, it's too scary."

Ren Shaoyang smiled faintly: "Don't worry." Then, he looked around, "Where are Ding Dian and the others?"

“Them!” Hongxiu said sweetly, “When the Blood Blade Ancestor shouted that the treasure was in Ding Dian and your hands, the two of them were so scared that they ran away like quails.”

Ding An said, "However, before Ding Dian left, he said something about how the kindness he owed was greater than the sun and that it could never be repaid."

“Yes!” the little beggar chimed in, “He’s very sincere, but he has no money.” He then pouted.

Ding An laughed and said, "That's why he passed on the Divine Illumination Scripture to us!"

"Oh?" Ren Shaoyang's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed with delight, "This thing is excellent for healing injuries, and it's more valuable than gold and silver!"

Under the moonlight, the three of them held hands, turned around and walked away into the distance, chatting as they went.

"Oh dear, I can never remember, but luckily the little beggar has a good memory and memorized it in one go."

"Ask me, ask me! I'll tell you!"

"Red-sleeved Heroine, One-Knife Immortal, please tell me the Divine Illumination Scripture."

"Haha, as the leader of the 'Three Heroes Beyond the Great Wall,' it's my duty to improve my brothers' martial arts skills! Listen up, everyone!"

"Yes!"*2
The three figures stretched longer and longer, and with a gentle breeze, they gradually disappeared from sight.
-
When we returned to the inn, it was already dawn.

After a series of battles, Hongxiu and Ding'an were both exhausted. After eating some dry rations, they both fell asleep.

Although Ren Shaoyang had been stabbed in the chest and his clothes were stained with blood, his cultivation of "Great Vajra Divine Power" was becoming increasingly profound.

Even with all his strength, Blood Blade Ancestor only managed to sever the skin and flesh of the chest, without touching the bone.

This clearly shows that the body's rigidity is gradually increasing.

Ren Shaoyang took off his tattered black robe, revealing two hideous wounds on his chest. The bleeding had stopped and the flesh had healed.

He carefully applied the wound medicine, then wrapped the wound with gauze. Only then did he nod in satisfaction, sit down at the table, pour himself a cup of tea, and look at the rewards for this occasion while drinking it.

【Ding】

Familiar words reappeared.

[You have discovered yet another key to anchoring this world—the Divine Illumination Scripture]

[Level: Powerful Enough (Evaluation: This skill possesses remarkable effects such as achieving spiritual enlightenment and regulating menstruation. Its purity and essence make it worthy of being called a medical bible. It's just a pity that its protective methods are somewhat crude, lacking the grandeur of skills like the Nine Yang and Nine Yin Techniques or the Innate Skill, which is a great loss. Therefore, it is rated as 'Powerful Enough' at its peak, just a hair's breadth away from reaching 'Admired by All.')]

[Reward: A powerful sword technique – Kunlun Sword Technique]

"The Kunlun Sword Technique?" Ren Shaoyang was surprised.

As far as he knew, the Kunlun Sect in martial arts novels was a perennial supporting character.

The most famous sword techniques are the "Thunder Swift Sword Technique", the "Two Elements Sword Technique", and the "Flying Dragon Eight Forms".

But who knows which version of the Kunlun Sword Technique manual the golden finger gave them?
"I want to see what kind of martial art this 'Kunlun Sword Technique' is, that it can be compared to the 'Divine Illumination Scripture'?"
-
P.S.: I was wrong. I originally kept the Blood Blade Ancestor character for the later Little Beggar storyline, but after writing three versions today, I want to slap myself every time.
Sure enough, if you write a plot that you yourself don't like, nobody will like it.

So, I'll revise everything overnight, and also do a major overhaul of the remaining drafts.

I'm so sorry, godfathers! I accept the scolding!
beg for mercy!
