Starting with Kengan beating up the Pirate King

Chapter 169 Samadhi True Fire, Divine Spirit and Elixir Devouring

Indeed, his methods are extraordinary.

Tang Bingwen looked at the battle before him, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

This Quanxing demon is not well-known, but he is by no means an ordinary person. Among the younger generation of the Tang Clan, probably no one can surpass him. Even looking at the whole of China, including the young clan leader Zhuge, there are probably only a handful of his peers who can surpass him.

However... when Wugensheng was forced into a corner and grabbed Gao Yingcai's dagger, firmly controlling it and severing Gao Yingcai's Qi, Tang Bingwen's eyes suddenly narrowed.

This is it!

This Quanxing demon's Qi seems to be able to neutralize the Qi of others. Not only can he use this method to neutralize my Qi poison, but he can even control and manipulate objects?!
What kind of tactic is this?!
Gao Yingcai also looked surprised, but then his expression became serious. Just as he was preparing to do his best to defeat Wugensheng in front of him, he suddenly heard Guan Yi say, "Seniors, let me give it a try."

Gao Yingcai paused, and Tang Wanru, who was controlling the hidden line, also stopped. She looked at Guan Yi, took two steps back, and said, "Young Clan Leader Zhuge, be careful. This sorcerer's methods are a bit strange."

Dong Chang and Xu Xin both looked astonished. Their two senior uncles couldn't subdue this sorcerer, and now this martial arts sorcerer who didn't look much older than them was going to take him down? Weren't they afraid the sorcerer would escape?
Although the two had mixed feelings, they felt that Wugensheng was not like other Quanxing demons, and they even had a little wish that Wugensheng would die here.

Wugensheng didn't think so. He threw Gao Yingcai's dagger aside, slightly out of breath, and stared seriously at Guan Yi who was walking towards him.

Although there was no basis for it, judging from the reactions from all sides and his own vague feeling, the young man in front of him, who was about the same age as him, was probably the most troublesome person in the entire tavern, even more so than the Tang Clan leader!

"Brother, we..."

“We’re about the same age, we’re peers. One-on-one, isn’t that very respectable?” Guan Yi said with a smile.

What I want to say is that we have no grudges against each other...

As Wugensheng spoke, his face gradually turned green, and every hair on his body seemed to be reminding him of danger! Danger!

Guan Yi raised his right hand, and a wisp of flame flickered in his palm. Its surface seemed to have no temperature, but a soul-piercing sensation reverberated throughout Wugensheng's body.

What is this? !

"Master, could this be...?"

Tang Wanru's expression changed slightly, and she couldn't help but ask in a low voice. Tang Bingwen nodded gently and said, "It's not surprising that he has mastered the Samadhi True Fire of the Wuhou Sect."

The fact that the young clan leader Zhuge used this move directly shows that he was indeed interested in this sorcerer's method of eliminating Qi.

'I knew it! What bad luck! I might really be going to die here today.'

Wugensheng sighed inwardly. If kneeling and begging for mercy were effective, he would have knelt down long ago.

Just as he had told Dong Chang and Xu Xin before, having chosen this path, there's no point in regretting it even if we die here. So let's give it our all!

“Brother, we do look to be close in age, so a one-on-one fight would be fair. But only if I win and the seniors of the Tang Clan are willing to let me go will it be truly fair. Otherwise, my mind will be preoccupied with the seniors, so how can it be fair?” Wugensheng tried to get Guan Yi and Tang Bingwen to make a promise.

Guan Yi smiled briefly, then leaped forward and pressed the Samadhi Fire against Wugensheng's chest!

The flame has no temperature and will not burn Wugensheng's body, but if it hits him, Wugensheng's soul will be instantly burned to ashes, and his body, which becomes a walking corpse, will die.

"Divine Spirit!" Sensing extreme danger, Wugensheng activated all the Qi in his body and unleashed his ultimate technique, Divine Spirit, without holding back.

This unique skill is not taught by others, but is innate and comes with the primordial state of Wugensheng. Its purpose is to regulate Qi and restore it to its original state.

Therefore, he can neutralize the poison of Qi, but he cannot neutralize the poison of non-Qi components.

Although the Samadhi True Fire is an extremely powerful flame that operates from the energy source of the upper elixir spirit, the middle elixir qi, and the lower elixir essence, when it is released, its essence still relies on the qi within the Guan Yi body.

So Wugensheng's hand went straight to Guanyi's hand, and with his divine spiritual power, he quickly sorted out and restored the Qi that maintained the Samadhi True Fire.

The two remained locked in a standoff for three seconds.

Guan Yi was experiencing the profound mystery of the divine spirit.

Wugensheng's face showed a bitter expression: "I really underestimated the heroes of the world. I have never seen such difficult-to-manage Qi before. Brother... you are amazing."

The next moment, blood trickled from his ears, nostrils, and even the back of his eyes. His body swayed and then collapsed to the ground!

"W-What's going on??"

"He defeated this sorcerer in an instant..."

"Is the sorcerer dead?!"

"No, it seems he still has a breath left!" Xu Xin and Dong Chang asked and answered in astonishment, while Guan Yi looked at his palm and said to Tang Bingwen, "He has neutralized most of the Samadhi True Fire. If it weren't for the difference in his Qi level compared to mine, it wouldn't be impossible for him to have taken it without injury."

What are Sect Leader Tang's plans? It seems he intends to spare this fiend's life?

"Didn't Young Master Zhuge also not intend to kill?" Tang Bingwen looked at the unconscious Wugensheng and said, "This demon's abilities might be of great use to the Tang Clan. Yingcai, take him back!"

……

"What?! Break through the Pill Devouring Technique?!"

Half a day later, night fell.

Upon returning to the Tang Clan, Tang Bingwen immediately summoned several senior members and powerful figures of the Tang Clan to inform them that the "battle agreement" with the Japanese invaders had been completed. Guan Yi also thanked the seniors of the Tang Clan once again in person.

After recounting this matter, Tang Bingwen mentioned another thing that caused several Tang Clan elders to change their expressions drastically, their faces filled with disbelief.

"Did I hear that right, Sect Leader?!" Tang Shiying, a senior member of the Tang Clan with white beard and eyebrows, and a swordsman, said in an absurd tone, "You said that a Quanxing demon you met on the road might be able to cure the Pill Devouring Technique?!"

"How can this be?!"

"Master, don't joke like that!"

Tang Bingwen said solemnly, "Everyone, please don't get excited. I'm just saying it's possible. Even if it can be solved, it can only solve the part of the poison that the pill devours. The poison of the pill itself cannot be solved."

"That's impossible..."

"The Pill Devourer is the pride of our Tang Clan. To this day, as long as we possess the Pill Devourer, we have never failed in assassinations. That is true, but do you all really believe that the Pill Devourer is unparalleled in the world and invincible?"

Tang Bingwen stood up and said, "My Tang Clan has its pride, but does the Zhuge family not have its own foundation? Young Clan Chief Zhuge personally experienced that most of his Samadhi True Fire was neutralized by that demon!"
These are the core and foundation of their respective sects. Why can the Samadhi True Fire break them, but the Pill Devouring Technique cannot?!

The Tang Clan elders remained silent, looking at Guan Yi.

The Wuhou School has a history of 1,700 years, and the Samadhi True Fire is its most core secret technique. Even if they are very confident in the Dan Shi technique, they dare not say that it can definitely surpass the Samadhi True Fire, let alone compare it casually in front of Guan Yi.

At this moment, a man who looked like a kind old neighbor chuckled and said, "Try it and you'll know. Anyway, he's a Quanxing demon, so there's no need to worry about using him to test your moves."

"Hiss, sir... you're right."

"Yes, you'll know once you try it!"

Tang Jiaren, the head of the Tang Clan, also known as the Laughing Yama, is one of the very few members of the Tang Clan who currently possesses the Dan Shi technique, and his reputation is no less than that of Tang Bingwen.

After stopping the argument, Tang Jiaren looked at Tang Bingwen and asked, "If that demon can really cure the pill-devouring poison, what does the sect leader mean?"

"That might be a good thing. As long as we can detoxify the Qi poison, and as long as our life cultivation is deep enough, we can withstand the poison for a long time, enough for us to test, detoxify, and create an antidote for the poison."

Tang Bingwen slowly said, "In this way, cultivating the Pill Devouring Technique will no longer be a path of either success or death. Everyone... can give it a try!"

"!!!"

The Tang Clan elders exchanged shocked glances.

Yes, the Tang Clan's Dan Shi technique is too powerful, and therefore it is limited. If a cultivator cannot master it successfully, they will inevitably be devoured by the poison of Dan Shi.

If it can be cured... although Dan Shi will no longer be invincible, it also means that more people in the Tang Sect will have the opportunity to master Dan Shi!
"It's not that simple." Tang Jiaren shook his head and said, "Even if it could be completely resolved, the damage to the meridians caused by the poison would require a long period of rest to recover, making it impossible to repeatedly attempt the Pill Devouring Cultivation. Moreover, if one cannot see through life and death while practicing Pill Devouring and has a way out, failure is almost certain!"

"I understand, senior brother."

Tang Bingwen said, "But at least having witnessed it once or twice increases one's chances, and who knows, a few people might get lucky, right?"

Tang Jiaren closed his eyes and pondered for a moment.

"Is that so? I'm fine now."

Tang Bingwen chuckled: "And you all?"

"Hmm...we're all set."

"In that case, let's not delay and awaken that sorcerer. If it goes smoothly, and if we act quickly, we might be able to give the Japanese a... huge surprise when they arrive!"
