Chapter 46: Six-Stage Blood Swap Technique, Wrathful Crying Hundred Demons Thunderbolt Arrow
Chapter 46: Six-Stage Blood Swap Technique, Wrathful Crying Hundred Demons Thunderbolt Arrow
The snow fell in a flurry, and the air became cold and silent once more.
Li Che, in his Sleeping Dragon Elephant state, concealed his breath and blended into the darkness, observing Zhao Xuan, who was stunned and speechless by the shocking scene.
This woman, who entered the martial arts training at the same time as him, had only recently achieved Skin Refinement Perfection. Now, Li Che could easily defeat a hundred Zhao Xuans with one hand, without any trouble at all. It was as if they posed no threat.
But she dared to gather her courage and venture into the battlefield of Blood Exchange Warriors, even after the battle... The danger level remained high.
Li Che confirmed that Zhao Xuan had come with the intention of collecting the bodies of heroes, and not as a backup for the Spirit Infancy Sect.
Li Che shook his sleeves, releasing the hidden sleeve crossbow that could explode Zhao Xuan's head at any moment, and silently retreated.
As he dispersed the active ability brought by the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit, a strong sense of fatigue and weakness suddenly overwhelmed him.
He felt as if he had squeezed out all his vital energy.
The second stage, 'Wrathful Eye Bodhimanda', brought about an immense improvement, and 'Transcendent Leap of Double Strength' was more like a metamorphosis in life form! The effect was excellent, with extreme power... However, the consumption was equally great.
Li Che felt that his life energy was somewhat depleted. After using Thunderous Burst to kill three Blood Exchange experts from the Spirit Infancy Sect, his legs became a little weak.
However, his body refinement had now reached Bone Tempering Perfection, and his recovery ability was exceptional. When he darted back to his own courtyard, his legs were no longer weak.
Using the Sleeping Dragon Elephant to conceal his breath, he circled his own courtyard three times to ensure there were no hidden Spirit Infancy Sect members before darting back into the courtyard like a phantom.
Removing his blood-stained clothes and mask, Li Che exhaled a foul breath and darted into his own firewood room.
He took out the "dirty objects" wrapped in the clothes of a Blood Exchange Warrior from the Spirit Infancy Sect whom he had defeated, and poured them out.
This was his loot from searching the bodies after this battle.
Li Che's heart stirred with excitement, and he subconsciously rubbed his hands.
Friends who frequently kill should know that body searching after killing is a very good habit for those who walk the Jianghu.
This was Li Che's first time body searching. Before, when he killed... he had actually forgotten such an important task.
"I still lack experience in walking the Jianghu, I'm too young, too young..."
Li Che shook his head.
The loot from body searching wasn't much: a few bottles and cans, two small booklets, and a thumb-sized wooden carving of a "Three-Armed Six-Armed Wrathful Spirit Babe" found on a Blood Exchange Warrior from the Spirit Infancy Sect.
Li Che, filled with surging emotions, began to take inventory.
"Eighteen gold leaves and three silver bills, each worth five hundred taels... I've caught a wave of wealth, no wonder I'm a Blood Exchange Warrior, I'm rich!"
Li Che's eyes lit up. Even though he was now a genius woodcarver at Xuji Woodcarving Shop, obtaining so much wealth in one go still thrilled him to the core.
"Silver bills are hard to deal with, but... there are plenty of people in the market who are willing to buy them, probably at a discounted price."
In addition, there were various bottles and cans. Li Che glanced at them, many were medicines for treating injuries and nurturing life energy.
Among them was a porcelain bottle containing a round pill that emitted a strong and pungent bloody smell.
Li Che examined it for half a day without any clues, but upon smelling it, he felt his life energy surging within.
"This isn't an ordinary pill, I found it on Guo Zhan's body."
"Hmm, I'll ask around in the market when I have a chance."
Li Che put away the pill, and his gaze finally fell on the two booklets. His heart began to flutter with anticipation.
He picked up the first booklet, which was found on a Blood Exchange Warrior from the Spirit Infancy Sect.
Opening the first page, six large characters caught his eye.
"Six-Stage Blood Swap Technique!"
This was a manual for the Blood Exchange Technique!
Moreover, it was not an ordinary low-grade Three-Stage Blood Swap Technique.
The Six-Stage Blood Swap Technique belonged to the middle-grade Blood Exchange Techniques.
To achieve Blood Exchange Perfection, one needed to go through nine stages of life energy exchange, until their life energy became like mercury and their marrow like gold and stone.
"It solves an urgent problem, but it's not a Divine Technique. Divine Techniques are rare, so it's normal not to obtain one... With the Blood Exchange Technique, I can now start working towards Blood Exchange..."
Li Che wasn't too disappointed. After all, his publicly known cultivation level was only at the beginning of Bone Tempering, and to ask Xuji for the Blood Exchange Technique, he would need to reach Bone Tempering Perfection.
It would likely take around two to three years...
Two to three years, from the initial Bone Tempering stage to its perfection... Given the genius martial artist's setting, this timeline is reasonable.
His gaze shifted to the book found on Guo Zhan.
As he flipped through the pages, Li Che's eyes narrowed in surprise!
It wasn't a Divinity Technique, nor was it a Blood Exchange Technique...
But it was a martial arts manual!
And not just any ordinary martial art...
It was a Divinity Martial Art!
Wrathful Crying Hundred Demons Thunderbolt Arrow!
...
...
Outside Xuji Woodcarving Shop, several figures appeared, each wearing a wooden child mask, their hands behind their backs. They landed on the roof of a house beside the long street.
"Hahaha, the Wrathful Crown Prince, a Quaternary Rank Divine Foundation Technique, actually appeared in Flying Thunder City..."
"Is this... my sect's opportunity?"
"Hahaha, if the Dharma Master consumes this child, who hasn't yet formed his Divine Foundation, there's a chance to advance further and manifest the Three-Headed Six-Armed Wrathful Divine Child's form!"
The figure wearing a smiling mask spoke with a voice full of laughter, unable to contain their excitement.
"However, tonight's 'Bull Capture' plan has completely failed. Si Mu Bai... also suffered heavy injuries. The Nine Heavenly Bodies Rank Wrathful Cry Ghost Suppress encountering the Wrathful Crown Prince, it's like they were hung up and beaten, hahaha... Too pitiful!"
"If it weren't for the Elder Sir Si, who has formed his Divine Foundation, Si Mu Bai would have been skinned alive, hahaha..."
"As allies, I should feel sympathy and sorrow for Si Mu Bai, but why do I feel like laughing... I can't help it, hahaha..."
The other figures, their eyes serious behind their masks, didn't bother responding to the laughing figure.
"The Ox Demon... has someone backing him! No wonder he suddenly appeared in Flying Thunder City, disrupting our sect's major plans..."
"So-called heroes indeed have hidden backers..."
The others spoke with heavy voices, as the Ox Demon's failure to capture him and the mysterious and unmeasurable figure who could manifest the Wrathful Crown Prince, a Divine Foundation, to instill fear and unease.
But the figure wearing the smiling child mask burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, why do you care so much? If the Ox Demon wants to be a hero..."
"Someone backing a hero is to stabilize the people's hearts, to give them a psychological pillar. Otherwise, the people of Flying Thunder City would collapse too quickly..."
"And to tarnish a hero's reputation... is the easiest!"
"So what's there to fear about the Wrathful Crown Prince, who hasn't formed his Divine Foundation?"
"When the Ox Demon's reputation is ruined, the people will lose their so-called hero. Then, his backer will have to use more methods to make up for it. The more they interfere, the more they'll eventually expose themselves!"
...
...
After counting their spoils and hiding the dirty items, Li Che returned to the courtyard from the snow-covered yard. He rubbed himself with cold snowballs to remove the bloody smell before entering the house.
Inside, the room was brightly lit!
His wife, Zhang Ya, tightly gripped the "Wooden Raven," remembering the mechanism usage methods Li Che had taught her.
Seeing that it was her husband who had returned, her tense nerves relaxed.
She quickly rushed over to Li Che, circling him to inspect him closely, and only after confirming that he wasn't injured did she finally breathe a sigh of relief. She then threw herself into Li Che's embrace, tightly wrapping her arms around his waist.
As if to vent all the night's anxiety and unease.
"It's alright."
Li Che gently patted his wife's soft shoulders, feeling her slight trembling, and spoke soothingly.
Zhang Ya nodded lightly.
The couple remained silent, and Xixi, their daughter, lay on the bed, kicking off the covers and sleeping soundly, like a little tyrant.
The courtyard was filled with a warm atmosphere as the heat from the lit room dispersed the cold.
After a while, Li Che felt the person in his embrace stir, and Zhang Ya lifted her pretty face, her eyes determined.
"Husband..."
"I want to practice martial arts."
