Chapter 46: Six Transfers Blood Exchange, Wrathful Cry Hundred Ghosts Thunder Arrow
Chapter 46: Six Transfers Blood Exchange, Wrathful Cry Hundred Ghosts Thunder Arrow
The snow fell in a flurry, blanketing the air in silence and coldness once more.
With the Sleeping Dragon Elephant's energy concealment, Li Che, hidden in the darkness, observed Zhao Xuan, who had just emerged, her eyes wide with shock at the scene before her.
This woman, who had entered the martial arts world at the same time as him, had only recently reached the peak of Skin Grinding. Now, Li Che could easily defeat a hundred Zhao Xuans with one hand; there was simply no challenge.
Yet, she had the courage to rush into the battlefield of the Blood Exchange Warriors, even after the battle... It was still incredibly dangerous.
Li Che confirmed that Zhao Xuan had come with the intention of collecting the bodies of heroes, rather than being a hidden threat from the Spirit Infancy Sect.
Li Che shook his sleeves, releasing the hidden sleeve crossbow that could instantly blast Zhao Xuan's head, and silently retreated.
As he dispersed the active ability brought about by the Lion Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit, a strong sense of fatigue and weakness suddenly overwhelmed him.
He felt as if his vital energy had been drained.
The second stage, Wrathful Vajra, had granted him an immense boost, and the Horizontal Refinement Dual Leap Transformation was more like a metamorphosis of life forms!
The effect was excellent, and the power was extraordinary... However, the consumption was equally immense.
At this moment, Li Che felt that his vital energy was somewhat depleted. After using his thunderous power to kill the three Blood Exchange experts from the Spirit Infancy Sect, his legs felt a little weak.
However, with his body refinement now at the peak of Bone Tempering, his recovery ability was exceptional. By the time he sprinted back to his courtyard, his legs were no longer weak.
Using the Sleeping Dragon Elephant's energy concealment, he circled his courtyard three times to ensure there were no hidden members of the Spirit Infancy Sect, then he darted back into the courtyard like a ghost.
Removing his blood-stained clothing and mask, Li Che exhaled a breath of turbid air and darted into his own firewood room.
He poured out the "dirty objects" wrapped in the clothes of a Blood Exchange Warrior from the Spirit Infancy Sect, whom he had defeated.
This was his reward for searching the corpses after the battle.
Li Che's heart stirred with excitement, and he subconsciously rubbed his hands.
Friends who frequently kill should know that searching the bodies after a kill is an excellent habit for wandering the jianghu.
This was Li Che's first time searching a corpse, and before this, he had forgotten such an important task after killing.
"It seems my experience in the jianghu is still lacking. I'm too young..."
Li Che shook his head.
The loot from the corpses wasn't much: a few bottles and jars, two small books, and a thumb-sized wooden carving of a Three Heads Six Arms Wrathful Eye Spirit Infant from one of the Blood Exchange Warriors of the Spirit Infancy Sect.
Li Che, filled with excitement, began to take inventory.
"Eighteen gold leaves and three silver notes, each worth five hundred taels... This windfall of wealth is mine! I deserve it as a Blood Exchange Warrior, and I'm rich!"
Li Che's eyes lit up. Even though he was now a talented woodcarver at Xuji Woodcarving Shop, receiving such a large sum of money still made his scalp tingle with excitement.
"Silver notes are hard to deal with, but... there are plenty of people in the market square willing to buy them at a discounted price."
In addition, there were various bottles and jars. Li Che glanced at them and saw that many contained medicines for treating injuries and nourishing vital energy.
Among them was a porcelain bottle, and when he poured out its contents, it was a round pill emitting a strong and pungent bloody smell.
Li Che examined it for a long time, unable to identify it, but after a sniff, he felt his vital energy surging.
"This was found on Guo Zhan's body... It shouldn't be an ordinary pill."
"Hmm, I'll ask around in the market square when I get the chance."
Li Che put away the pill, and his gaze finally fell on the two books. His heart was already filled with anticipation.
He picked up the first book, which he had obtained from a Blood Exchange Warrior of the Spirit Infancy Sect.
Opening the first page, he saw six large characters leaping out at him.
"Six Transfers Blood Exchange Technique!"
This was a blood exchange manual!
Moreover, it was not an ordinary Three Transfers Lower Rank Blood Exchange Technique.
The Six Transfers Blood Exchange Technique belonged to the Middle Rank Blood Exchange Techniques.
Blood exchange required nine transfers of vital energy, and only when the vital energy became as fluid as mercury and the marrow as solid as gold and stone, could it be considered complete.
"It solves an urgent problem, but it's not a Divine Technique. However, Divine Techniques are precious, 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 initial stage of Bone Tempering. If he wanted to ask Xuji for the Blood Exchange Technique, he would need to reach the peak of Bone Tempering.
It would probably take around two to three years according to normal time...
From the initial Bone Tempering stage to its completion, this timeline is quite reasonable, considering the genius martial artist's character setup.
His gaze shifted to the books taken from Guo Zhan.
As he flipped through the pages, Li Che's eyes narrowed in surprise!
It wasn't a Divine Technique, nor was it the Blood Exchange Technique...
But a martial art!
And not just any ordinary martial art...
It was a Divine Martial Art!
Wrathful Cry Hundred Ghosts Thunder Arrow!
...
...
Outside Xuji Woodcarving Shop, on the bluestone avenue.
The street was incredibly dry, even a bit scorching, emitting a faint heat. The snowflakes falling from the sky hadn't even touched the ground before they were evaporated by the scorching hot bricks.
Several figures drifted over, all wearing wooden child masks and carrying their hands behind their backs. They landed on the roofs of the buildings along the street.
"Hahaha, Prince of Fury, a Four Imperial Level Divine Foundation Technique, actually appeared in Thunder City..."
"Is this... the opportunity I was meant to teach?"
"Hahaha, the Dharma Master also cultivates Fury Divinity. This child's divinity has not yet formed a Divine Foundation. If the Dharma Master were to consume him... there's a chance for the Dharma Master to advance further and condense the 'Three-Headed Six-Armed Wrathful Divine Child' Divine Form!"
One of the figures, wearing a smiling mask, spoke with a voice full of laughter, unable to contain their excitement.
"However, tonight's 'Capture Ox' plan has completely failed. Si Mu Bai... also suffered severe injuries. A Nine Stars Level Crying Wrath encountering the Prince of Fury, he was utterly toyed with, hahaha... too tragic."
"If it weren't for the old grandmaster of the Si family, who had formed a Divine Foundation, Si Mu Bai would have been skinned alive, hahaha..."
"As allies, I should feel sympathy and sadness for Si Mu Bai, but why do I feel like laughing... I can't help it, hahaha..."
The other figures had stern expressions beneath their masks, too lazy to pay attention to the laughing figure.
"The Ox Demon... has someone backing him! No wonder he suddenly appeared in Thunder City, disrupting our sect's major plans..."
"So-called heroes indeed have hidden manipulators behind them..."
Their voices were heavy with concern. The Ox Demon was difficult to deal with, and the person behind him, capable of manifesting the Prince of Fury at the Divine Foundation stage, was even more mysterious, causing panic and unease.
The figure wearing the smiling child mask burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, why do you care so much? Isn't the Ox Demon trying to be a hero?"
"Someone is supporting a hero's emergence to stabilize the people's hearts, giving them a psychological pillar so that the citizens of Thunder City won't collapse so quickly..."
"And ruining a hero's reputation is the easiest thing to do!"
"That Prince of Fury is not weak, but he hasn't formed a Divine Foundation yet, what's there to fear?"
"If the Ox Demon's reputation is ruined, the people will lose their so-called pillar of support. Hahaha, his backer will have to use more methods to make up for it. The more they act, the more they'll eventually be exposed."
...
...
After counting their loot and hiding the dirty items, Li Che returned to the courtyard from the firewood shed. He rubbed himself with cold snowballs to remove the bloody smell before stepping into the house.
The room was brightly lit!
His wife, Zhang Ya, tightly gripped the "Wooden Raven," remembering the mechanism usage instructions taught by Li Che.
When she saw that the person who returned was her husband, her tense nerves finally relaxed.
She quickly took three steps in two strides and came to Li Che's side. She circled him, examining him carefully, and only after confirming he had no injuries did she breathe a sigh of relief. She then threw herself into Li Che's embrace, tightly wrapping her arms around his waist.
It was as if she wanted to release all the anxiety and unease of the night.
"It's alright," Li Che said, gently patting his wife's soft shoulders and feeling her trembling body. He spoke in a calm and reassuring tone.
Zhang Ya nodded lightly.
The couple hugged in silence, while Xi Xi lay on the bed, kicking off the covers and sleeping soundly, like the gift...
The entire room was filled with warmth from the charcoal brazier, dispelling the cold.
After a while, Li Che felt the person in his arms move. Zhang Ya lifted her pretty face, her eyes filled with determination.
"Husband..."
"I want to practice martial arts."
