Body Refinement for Longevity: From Health Cultivation Exercises to Overcoming All Techniques

Chapter 151 Su Zhenyue's Death

"荡魂" (dàng hún) literally means to stir the soul.

In the world of cultivation, most techniques have their own characteristics and advantages.

Some of them can keep people young forever, some can charm their enemies, and some can heal others.

The most unique aspect of the Soul-Sweeping Heaven-Supporting Skill among body-refining methods is its "soul-sweeping" aspect.

This move can shake the opponent's soul, causing them to reveal a weakness.

At this moment, Chen Han was using this very move.

After mastering the Lesser Perfection of the Soul-Sweeping Heaven-Supporting Skill, one will break through to the first level of Body Refinement and be able to comprehend and use this move.

However, this move, though powerful, has some shortcomings. It cannot be used on someone whose soul is much stronger than one's own. Furthermore, if the opponent's realm is far superior to one's own, using it would damage one's own soul, and could even lead to dementia.

Of course, this is not surprising, as the weak always face many inconveniences when dealing with the strong.

As Chen Han's realm and strength improve in the future, his ability to intimidate souls will also increase accordingly, without a doubt.

However, Su Zhenyue is clearly not within the scope of this restriction.

Chen Han held nothing back, pushing his speed and power to the limit. After all, Su Zhenyue could fly using a magic weapon, but he couldn't. If he couldn't kill her this time, he might never have such a good opportunity again.

At this moment, Su Zhenyue was struck, her soul was shaken, and she was stunned for a moment, but her gaze sharpened in an instant and she came back to her senses.

However, in a battle between masters, victory or defeat often hinges on a single moment, and this is even more pronounced for a body cultivator like Chen Han, whose speed is extraordinary.

Squeak, squeak, squeak, bang!

Amidst the roar of thunder, Chen Han's figure flashed repeatedly, appearing before Su Zhenyue amidst the crackling lightning. His deadly attack mercilessly blasted a bloody hole into Su Zhenyue's ample chest.

It wasn't over yet. With his other hand, Chen Han grabbed her flawless white neck like an iron clamp and slammed her towards the ground in mid-air.

"No... please..."

Su Zhenyue let out a dying groan.

Chen Han's speed did not decrease but increased, and the two of them crashed down at an even faster speed.

The fact that it can still speak proves that we weren't ruthless enough!

With a loud bang, dust billowed up.

Chen Han released his grip and slowly stood up.

His lips were tightly closed, his gaze was cold, and his face was expressionless.

Su Zhenyue died, and died a gruesome death; not even a complete body was left behind.

She and Liu Qianqian, who had once been close friends at Eagle Falcon Mountain, were both in the prime of their lives with unlimited potential, but they died together at the hands of Chen Han.

Chen Han felt no remorse whatsoever for this. He blamed them for being ungrateful and setting their sights on him, even attempting to murder him more than once.

What a pity, what a pity, someone so beautiful died young...

Chen Han sighed expressionlessly, then looked around and counted the number of people.

"Huh? One's missing... Zhao Wushuang, that kid ran away."

Chen Han counted the heads and found one was missing. He frowned and recognized that it was Zhao Wushuang who had run away. His murderous intent surged again.

This person knew almost everything about him, but now he's run away, which is extremely troublesome.

Zhao Wushuang was incredibly cunning and shrewd. Ever since he realized things were going badly, he had been planning to run away. He didn't care about the consequences or temptations. Finally, at a certain moment, he found his opportunity.

Chen Han was helpless in this situation. In a battle against multiple opponents, any distraction could very likely lead to his death.

This person's martial arts skills were quite high; he was a martial arts master. Moreover, he was outside the battle and far away from him. If he wanted to escape, he had no way to stop him.

With this in mind, Chen Han planned to storm their door later.

Now, it's time for his favorite part: looting the spoils.

Needless to say, there was nothing about other ordinary people or martial artists that could catch his eye.

The only thing he could take seriously was Su Zhenyue's steel coin. He hadn't even had a chance to use it in front of her before Chen Han blasted it away with a killing move, so it hadn't been effective at all.

After searching for a while, he found the copper coin.

When you hold it in your hand, the copper coin feels icy cold and is much heavier than a regular copper coin.

"After all, it's a magical artifact, so it's understandable that it's different."

Chen Han sighed, then pondered where best to hide it.

This copper coin artifact is different from the previous robe artifact, which was fully covered and could defend itself when it sensed danger.

The former, however, requires being offered up in front of the body and then manually activated to perform defense.

Chen Han stared blankly at the copper coin. "Judging from how Su Zhenyue put it in her mouth earlier... it's not a bad choice. It's faster to use than to put it in a storage bag."

Chen Han approved of Su Zhenyue's actions, but the thought that Su Zhenyue had put the copper coin in her mouth for who knows how long made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Well, she's at least a fairy, and besides, it's about saving her life, so I won't smear her...

After making his decision, Chen Han untied the storage bag from Su Zhenyue's waist, wanting to see what was inside.

"Um?

But at that moment, for some reason, Chen Han's face suddenly darkened, and lightning crackled around his body. The next moment, he left behind a series of afterimages.

As he sped toward the imperial city, Chen Han took out a talisman.

This talisman was exactly the same as the one he had given to Zhuge Rushuang before; it was a sensing talisman. But this talisman spontaneously combusted without any fire.

The other talisman was on Zhuge Rushuang. He had given it to her to summon when she was in a life-or-death crisis. Now, looking at this talisman, Chen Han knew without a doubt that Zhuge Rushuang was in grave danger.

The culprit might very well be Zhao Wushuang, who fled back for his life.

.....

Not long ago, in the imperial city.

"Master Lu, Master Su is in trouble. Please send reinforcements immediately."

In the palace, Lu Tianren's face looked as if he had swallowed a fly; it was quite unpleasant.

He looked at Zhao Wushuang, who was kneeling before him seeking reinforcements, his gaze dark and gloomy. His fingers tapped rhythmically on the table, revealing his calm and composed nature in the face of danger.

He didn't act rashly, but pondered for a moment, "Where is she? What exactly happened?"

"Master Su is at the foot of a cliff outside the city. She is fighting with Chen Han, who is also the Chen Yan you are looking for."

In fact, there was another reason why Zhao Wushuang rushed to get reinforcements: he was afraid that Su Zhenyue would desert him in the face of battle. If Su Zhenyue hadn't died, he would have made him wish he were dead afterward.

He'll come to our aid now, at least then we'll have an excuse.

"Chen Yan?"

A glint flashed in Lu Tianren's eyes.

"How did Su Zhenyue find him?"

"Master Su, she...she is..."

Seeing Zhao Wushuang dawdling, Lu Tianren's eyes revealed annoyance.

As for Zhao Wushuang, he also had his own unspeakable suffering, because he was still under the restriction placed on him by Su Zhenyue. If he said anything he shouldn't have, he would probably die the next second.

Lu Tianren keenly noticed Zhao Wushuang's unusual behavior, and after a moment's thought, he made a guess. He smiled slightly; this was indeed Su Zhenyue's style.

"Have you been placed under a restriction?"

Zhao Wushuang nodded excitedly.

"It's alright, I'll fix it for you."

Upon hearing Lu Tianren's words, Zhao Wushuang's eyes lit up, and she nodded excitedly again.

In reality, Lu Tianren's words were pure nonsense. He couldn't break Su Zhenyue's restriction at all, and even if he wanted to, it would cost him a considerable amount of money.

And what about Zhao Wushuang? Is he worthy?

"Of course it's not worth it. We can just fool her and get away with it. The restrictions this little wench has placed aren't enough to kill someone instantly."
