Ti flies like an arrow, and another month has passed in the blink of an eye.
Jiannan Prefecture has entered the cold winter, and the land is desolate.
Su Que sat cross-legged in the cave, wearing only a single garnt for practice, unafraid of the cold.
He shaped his right palm into a blade, channeling True Qi forward into the fingers.
The air in front of his right palm twisted, True Qi gathered, faintly forming a Sword Gang.
Above the Sword Gang, Demonic Qi rose.
If other martial artists were here, they would be intimidated by the Demonic Qi, feeling anxious and fearful.
His invisible Sword Gang stretched almost seven ters long.
This was because his currently gathered Gang Qi had a killing range close to seven ters.
He was holding his breath, striving to extend the killing range of the Gang Qi even further.
The air in front of his palm rippled, True Qi slowly gathered, dispersed, and cycled back and forth.
Gradually, the Sword Gang he could gather grew even longer.
After approximately the ti it takes to brew a cup of tea, Su Que had a realization.
’Succeeded!’
The Sword Gang now stretched seven ters long, spanning the air of the cave.
He checked his attributes and found that his martial arts realm had indeed improved.
Martial Arts Realm: Gang Condensing Realm·Seven ters
’Continue the cultivation!’
Having made progress in his martial arts realm, Su Que had no intent of resting.
His inner strength had greatly advanced, accelerating the speed at which he gathered Gang Qi; now the montum of his cultivation was fierce indeed, he truly did not want to stop.
He continued to channel True Qi into his right palm, where under the control of his mind, it compressed and coalesced.
The Sword Gang spanning the air grew more solid.
...
"Please observe carefully; I once heard the mysterious figure say it himself, that he acquired the Celestial Deford Foot from the Ou Family branch where Ou Shan was, comprising six forms, entirely unafraid of our branch of the Ou Family."
"On that day, we indeed saw him perform the Celestial Deford Foot beyond the five known forms."
"Our branch of the Ou Family only knows five forms; it’s impossible for us to have leaked them to that mysterious figure with a Rakshasa mask."
Ou Jing was respectfully answering a man appearing to be in his forties.
This man in his forties had quite a handso appearance, with ticulously grood mustache and beard on his lips and chin.
He wore martial attire woven from excellent satin, embroidered with Flood Dragon totems, looking very dignified.
This man was the third son of the Patriarch of the Ou Family, nad Ou Luhui, capable of condensing Gang Qi up to eight ters and five feets, and his proficiency in Celestial Deford Foot was higher than his younger brother Ou Lusheng.
His younger brother had not returned ho for more than a month, so he was entrusted by his father to go south to find his弟.
First, he went to the Ou Family branch where Ou Jing had accused in his letter, questioning why that branch leaked the six forms of the Celestial Deford Foot.
This branch of the Ou Family was bewildered upon hearing Ou Luhui’s words.
After inquiry, they understood the reason and loudly claid innocence, cursing the branch of Ou Family which Ou Jing belonged to.
Of course, Ou Luhui would not easily believe one side’s words.
The Patriarch of the accused branch of the Ou Family, Ou Shan, pleaded with Ou Luhui to allow him to accompany him to confront Ou Jing.
Thus, Ou Luhui and Ou Shan went to the branch of the Ou Family where Ou Jing was.
Ou Jing had prepared for this scenario.
On the day he faced this, all the servants who witnessed his confrontation with Su Que had been killed by him, replaced with a new batch of servants.
The remaining children of the Ou Family were trained by him, enabling them to lie under great pressure.
Those in the Ou Family with low martial arts cultivation and poor resilience were sent far away.
Now, in the Ou Family Manor, only those who could withstand interrogation remained.
After respectfully speaking those words, Ou Shan, standing beside Ou Luhui, beca furious.
He pointed at Ou Jing with his hand, cursing: "You old scoundrel, why do you falsely accuse our branch of the Ou Family, what exactly is your intention!"
Ou Shan, red-eyed in anger, his graying beard moving chaotically as he cursed.
Ou Jing remained silent, rely waiting for Ou Luhui’s decision.
Afterward, Ou Luhui questioned several of Ou Jing’s sons and grandsons, discovering their responses were nearly identical to Ou Jing’s.
Indeed, that day, a mysterious figure with a Rakshasa mask, mastering the six forms of Celestial Deford Foot, invaded their Ou Family.
He defeated Ou Jing and planted a "Life and Death Talisman" on him.
Seeing Ou Jing’s sons and grandsons withstand interrogation with consistent accounts, Ou Shan stomped his foot in frustration.
His stamping, fueled by anger and uncontrolled force, cracked the brick floor beneath him.
Ou Luhui noted Ou Shan’s genuine anger and that Ou Jing’s party’s statents were flawless.
He was at a loss to determine who was lying.
Perhaps, it was the mysterious masked figure who was deceiving them.
Suddenly, a thought struck him, and he turned to Ou Jing: "You say the mysterious figure with the Rakshasa mask cos regularly to relieve the pain of the Life and Death Talisman?"
Ou Jing nodded: "Yes."
Ou Luhui stated: "Then I shall stay here temporarily so that when he arrives, I can capture him and interrogate him, naturally revealing who speaks truth and who lies!"
"Excellent!" Ou Shan applauded upon hearing this.
For the Ou Family, leaking the Celestial Deford Foot technique outside was a significant issue.
He certainly did not want to be wrongfully accused.
Hearing this, Ou Jing felt a chill in his heart and beca imdiately anxious.
He feared that if the mysterious figure with the Rakshasa mask failed against Ou Luhui and was captured, once interrogated, all his deeds would be exposed.
If Ou Luhui knew he lied and leaked the Celestial Deford Foot, it would be very likely he would be killed.
’How should I notify that mysterious figure...’ Ou Jing pondered bitterly in his heart.
However, after thinking for a long ti, he still couldn’t figure out a way to notify Su Que under the watchful eyes of Ou Luhui.
