58 Forbidden Arts

 "You want to learn?"

"I want to know more about it."

"When I came out this time, I found that the real battle was more sinister and cruel than I imagined. Those bandits used poisonous hidden weapons and poison powder. It would be easier to be on guard if you learn some knowledge."

Lin Zheyu said.

He has great strength, but when he encounters unknown poisonous powder, he has to avoid the edge temporarily and dare not touch it for fear of accidentally being contaminated with deadly poison.

If you encounter someone who is weak, you can still use a flying knife to kill him from a distance. But if you encounter someone of equal strength, there is nothing you can do.

He is not good at using hidden weapons, and he can only bully those who are weaker than him. When he faced Qiao Quan, who used military formations to upgrade his strength to the Qi-blood realm, all the flying knives he shot were blocked one by one.
If he had attacked forcefully at that time, given his strength in the Qi and Blood realm and the toxicity was not strong, he should have been able to withstand it.

But being cautious by nature, he doesn't want to gamble on this probability. What if the poisonous powder the other party spreads happens to be highly poisonous?

Murphy's Law says well, if there is a possibility that things will go bad, no matter how small the possibility is, it will always happen.

"That's right. A real battle is a life-and-death battle. How can you kill the opponent? Most of them are underhanded, damaging, and poisonous moves."

"Before the bandits launch an attack, they will first use smoke and poisonous smoke to attack. However, this kind of attack takes a long time to take effect, so the caravan will take precautions in advance."

"There are not as many highly effective poisons as you think that are really quick-acting, and they are all expensive and there are few channels to purchase them."

"Most poisons work through inhalation into the body. If you encounter them, be careful and just hold your breath during combat."

"If you want to learn this knowledge, I'll ask someone to help you ask. Doctor Mo in the army has medical skills that are passed down from family to family and are not passed on to outsiders." Han Mo said.

"Well, that's troublesome, senior brother."

"Brother, how do you usually deal with those who are good at using poison?" Lin Zheyu asked.

"Hold your breath and attack with crossbow arrows."

"We all have antidote drugs and anti-toxic pills on hand. If you take them beforehand, if you are really poisoned, you should hold your breath and go back to the doctor for treatment."

"As long as it is not a poison that has no solution, most of them can be saved."

Han Mo said, seeing that Lin Zheyu still had some doubts, he continued: "Don't worry, poison is not as scary as you think. You can deal with most poisons by holding your breath."

"Toxicity is also divided into doses. A small amount of poison can be resisted by a warrior's resistance. If you take some poison-proof pills beforehand, you can just find someone to treat it after you go back."

"As long as you don't encounter that kind of rare and extremely toxic poison, it won't be a big problem if you take careful precautions."

"Yeah." Lin Zheyu nodded.

What he is afraid of is the extremely poisonous poison. His life is precious, and he does not want to ruin it due to negligence.

Han Mo asked someone to take two bottles of pills, one to detoxify and the other to avoid poisons, both of which could only protect against common toxins.

However, when encountering relatively strong poisons, there are also some effects, which can relieve the poison, take a breath, and go back for treatment.

"Thank you, senior brother."

Lin Zheyu took the pill and thanked him.

"I haven't seen you for a while, let me see if your strength has deteriorated." After Lin Zheyu packed the packages, Han Mo stood up and said with a smile.

"Okay."

Lin Zheyu nodded, took off his coat, and walked over with his sword.

"Come on."

Han Mo held a long knife and waved to Lin Zheyu, his eyes full of confidence.

Recently, his strength has improved a lot, and he can now sense the blood in his body.

When the spirit is tempered to be stronger, the blood and essence can be fused, and the qi and blood can be condensed under the fusion of the spirit.

"Hey!"

Lin Zheyu smiled and rushed towards his senior brother with a knife.

Ding ding ding

The clear sound of blades clashing was heard in the field.

Han Mo controlled his strength to the bone forging level, while Lin Zheyu also suppressed his strength to the bone forging level.

The two of them were going back and forth, and Han Mo gradually felt the pressure.

"We haven't seen each other for a few days, and Junior Brother Lin has become so powerful!"

Han Mo was surprised.

Lin Zheyu combined Jin Yan Gong and Liuhe Sword extremely well. The sword technique matched the body technique, allowing him to advance and attack, retreat and defend, which made him unable to start.

His sword skills are great, but his speed and dexterity are not good, which makes him helpless against Lin Zheyu.

"Your junior brother is so strong, he can actually fight with you!"

The soldiers watching the battle were shocked.

With such great strength at such a young age, Mr. Han, this junior fellow apprentice, will have limitless achievements in the future!

Ding.

Bang——

Han Mo saw the right moment and slashed horizontally with the knife. The muscles on his arms bulged and terrifying force exploded.

Lin Zheyu swung his sword to block, but was shocked by the sudden blow from his senior brother and took several steps back.

"Senior brother's Liuhe sword skills are really amazing!"

Lin Zheyu put away the knife, raised his hand and said.

Senior Brother Han Mo has mastered the Liuhe Sword to perfection, and a secret book of techniques at the peak level of Zang Refining Realm has allowed him to practice to the level where he is about to break through the Qi and Blood Realm.

He has an honest character, but his sword skills are extremely flexible. The Liuhe sword skills are unpredictable, and he can often catch Lin Zheyu by surprise with his tricky attack angles.

However, this is also the reason why Lin Zheyu uses sword skills as his main attack and Jin Yan Kung as a supplement. Sword skills are his weakness. If he uses Jin Yan Kung or Barbarian Bull Fist, it will be different.

"You are worthy of the talent and understanding that even Master Liang can't help but admire. Junior Brother Lin, the speed at which your strength is increasing makes senior brother envious."

Han Mo sighed.

It’s been a while since we last met, and Junior Brother Lin’s strength has improved again.

Although the increase in strength and speed is not much, the improvement in understanding and use of skills and combat consciousness is extremely obvious.

Just now, he couldn't help but burst out with the power of the Zang Refining Realm, and then he pushed Lin Zheyu back.

"Continue to practice with me. This time you are not allowed to use the Golden Goose Kung Fu, just practice your sword skills." Han Mo said.

"Okay, senior brother, please be merciful."

Lin Zheyu said with a smile, and rushed forward again with the knife.

In the battle just now, if he hadn't relied on the back and forth of Jin Yan Gong, he would have been defeated very quickly.

Nowadays, if Jin Yan Gong is not used, the only test is the sword technique.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

Although Han Mo said he was practicing with him, he actually wanted to teach Lin Zheyu's sword skills. He just saw a lot of things that could be improved from Lin Zheyu's sword skills.

Ding ding ding

In the field, the crisp sound of weapons clashing sounded again.

This time, the competition was purely about sword skills, and Lin Zheyu quickly fell into a disadvantage.

Han Mo did not defeat him with one blow, but used his sword skills to guide Lin Zheyu and pointed out his shortcomings from time to time.

……

The sky is getting dark, Songyicheng, Xingjia.

The servants in Xing Jinglong's house all had nervous looks on their faces.

"Is there no news about the young master yet?"

The steward looked at the servants who rushed back and asked nervously.

Mr. Xing Jinglong went out in a hurry in the morning, saying he had something important to do, but he hasn't come back yet.

Even Mr. Zhao Wude and Mr. Qiao Quan who followed him out were nowhere to be seen.

"No, the members of the Wuding Gang and the ten elite city guards who set out with us have not returned either." The servant shook his head and said.

"Damn!"

"Let's go find Mr. Jing'an. We can only report this matter." The steward said through gritted teeth.

After dark, it is even more dangerous outside the city. Even if the young master goes out to do errands and forgets the time, Mr. Zhao Wude will remind him.

The steward hurried out and arrived at the Xing family martial arts field.

Mr. Xing Jingan has a good talent in martial arts. He reached the peak of Zang Refining Realm before he was thirty years old. After several years of training in the city guard, he hopes to break through to the Qi and Blood Realm.

He is a martial arts fanatic. Apart from being busy with work, he spends most of his time practicing martial arts in the Xing family martial arts field.

The steward entered the martial arts field and saw Xing Jingan immersed in martial arts training.

In the past, he would not have dared to disturb him, but now it is related to the safety of Mr. Jinglong, so he has to do so.

He took a step forward and said respectfully: "Mr. Jing'an, something happened. Mr. Jinglong took Mr. Zhao Wude and Mr. Qiao Quan out in the morning and has not come back yet."

"Huh?"

Xing Jingan stopped, his martial arts practice was interrupted, and his face was a little unhappy.

However, after hearing that something might have happened to his younger brother Xing Jinglong, he couldn't help but frown: "Where did Jinglong go, and what did he do?"

"Back to the young master, people from the Wuding Gang came to report that Lin Zheyu from the Feihong Gang was out of the city. He once had an affair with the young master. When the young master found out, he led his men and chased him out."

"Until now, the young master has not come back, and there is no news," the steward said.

"Lin Zheyu?"

Xing Jing'an frowned, he had some impression of this name.

According to Xing Jinglong and his cousin Xing Penghai, this man was young, and in less than three months, he had never practiced martial arts before and reached the bone forging realm.

His talent and understanding are good, and his potential is amazing. He can be captured and used secret methods to stimulate his potential and train him into a dead soldier.

This is probably why Xing Jinglong went out this time.

"Is Lin Zheyu back?" Xing Jing'an asked.

"No."

"Things are not good. Logically speaking, Zhao Wude and Qiao Quan have been dispatched, so they should be captured soon."

Xing Jingan's eyes were solemn, he put on his clothes and hurried out the door.

Drive!

Get on your horse and go straight to the city gate.

The moon and stars are rare.

The cold wind howls.

In the forest at night, there are roars of beasts.

A team of thirty soldiers, riding horses and holding torches, rushed towards us.

drive

Drive!

The soldiers commanded their horses and galloped towards the mountains and forests with all their strength.

Zhao Wude is a cautious person and likes to be cautious when doing things. If Lin Zheyu's strength hadn't been so unexpected, he wouldn't have fallen into trouble so quickly.

When leaving the city, he habitually left markers with a special smell along the way, which could remain in the wild for two days.

It can be used to track, leave marks, etc. It is extremely versatile.

Call——

The leading man pulled the reins and stopped in front of a bush.

This is the place where Lin Zheyu dumped his body.

There were no corpses inside, only bloodstains on the ground and torn armor and clothing.

"Asshole!"

Xing Penghai looked at the blood stains and tattered pieces of clothing on the ground and cursed angrily.

Xing Jing'an, who was standing next to him, was extremely silent, quietly looking at the clothes on the ground, which were all torn into pieces, and it was impossible to tell whose clothes were whose.

"What do you think about this?" Xing Jing'an's face was calm, with a hint of viciousness deep in his eyes.

Xing Penghai shook his head, with a gloomy expression on his face: "Maybe it was the hands of those enemies. We moved too much and suffered retaliation from them."

"Well, it is indeed possible."

Xing Jingan nodded: "Tell your uncle when you get back and let him make a decision."

"Xing Ling, please go down and ask the spies in the city to report on the movements of the major forces today. At the same time, keep an eye on the kid from the Feihong Gang to see if he is dead."

"If he comes back, report to me immediately." Xing Penghai ordered.

"Yes, sir."

……

Near Lion Valley, military camp.

Lin Zheyu and Han Mo sat in front of the campfire, roasting game.

"Brother, have you ever seen a living corpse?"

"On the way here, I heard people say that living corpses appeared in the Beast Roar Mountain, and many people died." Lin Zheyu asked.

"Are living corpses appearing again in the Roaring Mountain?"

Han Mo asked in surprise, obviously not knowing the news.

"Well, I heard that it just appeared a while ago. How much does senior brother know about living corpses? Can you explain it to junior brother?" Lin Zheyu asked curiously.

"There's nothing that can't be said."

"Living corpse is just what ordinary people call it. It has another name, and that is demon!" Han Mo said after taking a sip of tea.

Monster!?

Lin Zheyu couldn't help being stunned when he heard this. Is this a demon?

Liang Song mentioned the demon thing to him at first, but he didn't associate living corpses with demons.

"Yes, living corpses are also a type of demon."

"These people all practiced certain forbidden arts in their lives, and were eroded by the evil force and fell into suspended animation."

"Then he will be buried in a place with a strong evil spirit, arrange a special formation, and after dozens or hundreds of years of suspended animation, he will come back to life again, thus achieving an effect similar to immortality."

"They are just like demons. Because they practice forbidden arts, they lose themselves and become bloodthirsty, cruel, irrational monsters who only know how to kill."

Han Mo said that as a centurion of the city guard, he knew something about demons.

"Forbidden Technique?"

"Is it the secret technique of cultivating immortality and immortality?"

Lin Zheyu asked curiously, grasping the key points in Han Mo's words.

Liang Song once said that in order to pursue immortality, some people cultivate themselves into demons through cultivation.

"Immortality? How can there be any immortality?"

Han Mo shook his head and said: "The so-called secret technique of immortality, until the end of practice, will make you become a monster that is neither human nor ghost."

"I don't know the specifics. I just heard from adults."

"When I was a soldier, I once had the honor to go out with the adults to kill a demon, which is what you call a living corpse. It took a lot of effort before I succeeded."

"This kind of monster has copper skin and iron bones, and is invulnerable. The strong killing intent condensed in the military formation has a suppressive effect on this kind of monster."

"If you encounter a monster in the future, or hear that a monster has appeared somewhere, don't be curious and go over to watch, and run away as soon as possible."

"The demons are invincible unless they are Qi and Blood Realm warriors. Even Qi and Blood Realm warriors who are below the third level of Qi and Blood Transformation can only barely protect themselves."

Han Mo said with solemn eyes.

When he was fighting against demons, he was just a small soldier, an inconspicuous part of the military formation, providing only energy, spirit and murderous intent.

That battle left a very deep impression on him.

"Yeah." Zheyu nodded.

Zizzi~

Crack——

The bonfire burns, the branches make a crackling sound, and the meat roasted on it is sizzling with hot oil, and the aroma fills the air, which is extremely tempting.

"Senior brother, can you go back before the Chinese New Year?"

Lin Zheyu took a bite of the fragrant barbecue.

"I'll go back in two days," Han Mo said.

The day after tomorrow is New Year's Eve, so I just happened to go back for the reunion dinner.

He looked at Lin Zheyu and said, "You can also go to my house for a reunion dinner then. It will be more lively and have a New Year atmosphere."

Han Mo knew that Lin Zheyu had no relatives in Songyicheng, so he would be quite lonely during the Chinese New Year.

"Okay."

Lin Zheyu nodded and agreed.
