Ren Meridian!
Under Xu Wuzhou's relentless assault, after expending six hundred drops of blood-colored liquid, it was finally completely penetrated.
Seventh Postnatal Layer!
Within the Ren Meridian, the vast blood qi surged, causing Xu Wuzhou's body to tremble. The Yin Qiao Meridian, Yin Wei Meridian, and Belt Meridian resonated with it, as if the four meridians became one, their flowing frequency unified, causing the vital energy and blood within Xu Wuzhou to churn incessantly.
Penetrating the Ren Meridian felt different from the previous six meridians; Xu Wuzhou felt a qualitative change, as if he had ascended to a high peak.
"No wonder they say the Ren and Du Meridians are the hardest to open, but once they are, it's a direct transformation."
Feeling the majestic blood qi within, Xu Wuzhou wanted to press on and open the Du Meridian in one go, but seeing the bowl with less than four hundred drops of liquid remaining, he dismissed the idea.
Moreover, the seven long rivers of blood qi within him were boiling with such grandeur that Xu Wuzhou felt his power was on the verge of losing control.
From the second layer to the seventh layer in one step!
Who could cultivate like this? It was terrifying, unimaginable.
But the drawbacks were equally apparent; the sudden increase in blood qi made it difficult for his body to adapt, and he couldn't fully control the blood qi.
Xu Wuzhou calmed his mind, feeling his own strength, striving to control and adapt to his changes.
...
In the room, unaware of the time, except for the servant delivering meals, Xu Wuzhou was immersed in cultivation, day and night.
It wasn't until Qin Yunjie arrived that Xu Wuzhou realized three days had passed.
"My sister sent me to release you!" Qin Yunjie said coldly. At the Grand Competition, he thought Xu Wuzhou was enduring humiliation, but who would have thought he'd go to a brothel again? How could he have a good face towards someone who treated his sister like this, regardless of how strong they were?
"Where's your sister?" Xu Wuzhou asked, remembering Qin Qingmo saying she would come to release him.
Although Qin Yunjie disliked Xu Wuzhou, he still replied, "The Shi Family invited you and my sister to a literary gathering. My sister didn't want you to be ridiculed and went alone."
Xu Wuzhou frowned slightly, "The Shi Family? Shi Lei's family?"
"There's only one Shi Family in Lin'an City!" Qin Yunjie answered.
Qin Qingmo was still worried about him being ridiculed and went alone to protect him. This woman still had his interests at heart. Xu Wuzhou thought for a moment and walked towards the Qin Family's exit.
"My father hasn't calmed down yet, and you're going out again?" Qin Yunjie shouted.
Xu Wuzhou didn't answer Qin Yunjie; he was worried that the Shi Family, having lost their twins, might do something to Qin Qingmo. Xu Wuzhou changed into a new set of clothes, took a sword, and left the Qin Family for the Shi Family.
...
The street leading to the Shi Family was quiet, illuminated by the moonlight. Xu Wuzhou walked alone.
But suddenly, three cultivators rushed out on the silent street, surrounding Xu Wuzhou with a strong murderous aura.
Their bodies exuded rolling blood qi, like roaring beasts, with sounds emanating from within, each holding a long blade with a blood glow.
"Waited for you for days, thought you wouldn't come out." One of the black-robed men coldly stared at Xu Wuzhou, pointing his long blade at him, the blood qi's pressure causing the quiet street to howl.
Xu Wuzhou squinted his eyes, his body slightly tensed, his hand grasping the long sword, sensing the strength of these people. If he were only at the second postnatal layer, this pressure alone would give him a headache. These people must be at least at the seventh postnatal realm.
Xie Guangping!
This person wanted to kill him and had the capability to send such strong individuals.
"Boss, stop wasting time, let's finish him and report back." Another black-robed man impatiently said.
For a cultivator who at most showed fifth postnatal strength, the young master actually sent three seventh postnatal realm experts, which made them very displeased. But they dared not disobey the young master's orders.
"Third Brother, it's rare to have a mission, we should enjoy it. Killing him instantly is no fun, slow torture is more interesting." The second black-robed man laughed, eyes gleaming with the viciousness of a cat playing with a mouse.
"Pervert!" The third brother cursed, not wanting to waste time, eager to finish Xu Wuzhou and return to embrace women. He was the first to strike, his long blade's blood glow suddenly surged, his body shooting out like a leopard.
The long blade pressed the air, emitting a screeching sonic boom, reaching Xu Wuzhou in a flash, slashing fiercely at his head.
Xu Wuzhou slightly sidestepped, avoiding the blade just as it was about to land on his head. The long blade slashed the ground beside him, creating a crack on the bluestone street like a black snake, shocking to behold.
"Huh?"
The third brother was puzzled; someone at most at the fifth postnatal layer could still easily dodge his strike under their pressure, beyond imagination. Find the original chapter at novelping dot com.
However, being experienced, after missing the strike, he turned his hand again, slashing horizontally at Xu Wuzhou's waist, intending to cut him in two.
At this moment, Xu Wuzhou's long sword unsheathed, swinging out, the seventh postnatal realm's blood qi erupting. The powerful blood qi enveloped the long sword, clashing with the long blade.
"Bang!"
With a loud noise, the third brother's long blade was directly shaken out of his hand, flying and embedding into the bluestone street, the blade fully submerged, creating a pit where it landed, stones scattering.
The third brother's arm trembled, his body was shaken back repeatedly, each step leaving a deep footprint, retreating dozens of steps without dissipating all the force, a mouthful of blood spewing from his throat, splattering on the ground, shocking to see.
"He hid his strength!" The third brother was terrified, extremely shocked. One move could disarm him and make him vomit blood; this realm was definitely not lower than theirs, and the strength was not just a little bit stronger.
The second brother naturally saw this too, his face changing drastically, his blood qi erupting more terrifyingly, covering his long blade: "Damn it!"
The boss wanted to curse Xie Guangping, that bastard. Didn't he say his strength was at most ordinary fifth postnatal? This power, how could it be just fifth layer? The third brother's strength wasn't much different from theirs.
"With this level of strength, you want to kill me? Better think about how you'll die." Xu Wuzhou was confident; he could severely injure a third-layer realm with one move at the second layer, so his seventh-layer realm was naturally much more powerful than ordinary ones. In his view, these people were not his match.
"Arrogant, you think strong power means survival? In cultivation, power isn't everything!" The boss suddenly said coldly, "Now you understand why we were sent to kill you, you do have some skills. But... you still have to die."
As the boss spoke, blood qi surged from the crimson long river within him, condensing like blood-colored flames in his palm, a violent wave slowly emanating.
At the same time, Xu Wuzhou saw the blood qi forming patterns on the boss's hand gripping the long blade, these patterns forming an inscription rune, like ice flower patterns.
The inscription runes continuously condensed, one... two... three... nine. Nine identical inscription runes.
They merged into a more dazzling rune, then integrated into the long blade in his hand. The long blade's blood glow surged, a ruthless aura exploding from it, unleashing an incredibly violent and domineering force, slashing towards Xu Wuzhou, the sound of breaking air unceasing.
Xu Wuzhou's pupils contracted sharply, his body tensed.
At this moment, on a high pavilion on the street, Dai Yaoyao and Yu Feng were watching the scene. Yu Feng shook his head, saying, "Martial skill, and it's a ninth-layer amplified martial skill, this guy has cultivated a first-rank combat technique to perfection. Xu Wuzhou is going to lose."
Combat techniques are divided into nine ranks, one rank one inscription rune, ninth-layer amplification means the rune is stacked nine times, equivalent to perfecting a first-rank martial skill.
Yu Feng asked Dai Yaoyao, "Should we help him? Otherwise, he might really be killed."
As he spoke, his gaze turned to the scene.
