Chapter 42 – Bloody Evil in the Sky

It's strange that this technique is not strong, it's something that the first-ranked person on the Heavenly List left for his own child to practice. If it's a low-level technique, then it's hard to understand.

When he first started practicing, he couldn't feel anything special about it, and Zhao Changhe had no reference point to compare its quality. Now that Yue Hongling is here, he can let her analyze it.

But even though he trusts Yue Hongling very much, he doesn't want to reveal all his secrets. Zhao Changhe said, "I don't know what this technique is. Look, it doesn't even have breathing or mental techniques. Just practice blindly. Um, maybe this technique should be called Xia Ji's Eight Refinements... Can you check the quality of my true qi?"

Yue Hongling glared at him angrily and said, "Put your hand over here, let me check."

Zhao Changhe obediently stretched out his hand, and Yue Hongling touched it with her palm, probing it for a while. Her expression became more and more surprised.

The quality of the true qi that Zhao Changhe cultivated with this technique was extremely exaggerated. Even though she tried to overestimate it as much as possible, it still exceeded her expectations.

Why is there a division of realms? Regardless of whether it's internal or external cultivation, the level of power can be quantified, and those at the same level are almost the same, so it can be used as a standard for division. Those who can surpass their level are worth bragging about, otherwise, what's the point of the level?

Using a simple example, when your true qi reaches one, it's the first level of Xuan Guan. The upper limit of this realm is ten. When you reach ten, you are stuck at the threshold and must break through the second level of Xuan Guan to continue increasing your true qi. Everyone is the same.

This is not as immediate as external cultivation. When an external cultivator breaks through a certain level, their physical strength becomes much stronger, and they may even be able to counterattack on the spot. However, after an internal cultivator breaks through, they still need to continue accumulating in order to widen the gap.

The typical difference between divine techniques and ordinary techniques is that it may only take three days to accumulate from one to ten when practicing a divine technique, and it's easy to break through the threshold. A trash technique may take three years to accumulate, and the threshold may be so difficult to break through that it's almost impossible.

And the upper limit of a good technique can reach the level of a secret technique, while a trash technique may only be able to be practiced up to the second or third level, with nothing below.

The most crucial point is that the true qi generated by different techniques may have different properties or qualities. Everyone's dantian is like a water tank of the same size. Some people store ordinary clear water, some store poison, some store oil, some store the life-giving nectar, while some are just cheating with a pool of ice, which means that they have to use several times as much water as others to call forth their true qi...

The gap between high-level sects and ordinary martial artists is thus widened. The appearance of a divine technique can trigger a bloody struggle, all because of this.

Zhao Changhe has just broken through to the second level, and his dantian and meridians are only as big as those of the second level. This is not a problem.

The problem is that the quality is too outrageous. You're the one with a pool of ice that's cheating!Other people's cultivation, their true energy is basically invisible and intangible, but Yue Hongling can almost see the misty white energy inside this guy's body.

If you say that this person has been stuck at the second level of Xuan Guan for a long time and can't break through the limit, so he can only try to polish the quality of his true energy, and gradually accumulate to this level, then that is still quite common. But you just broke through and have this kind of quality? What would happen if you deliberately polished it, would it be heaven-defying?

What kind of technique is this?

The Eight Refinements of Xia Ji... I've never heard of it.

After listening to Yue Hongling's explanation, Zhao Changhe rubbed his chin and said, "So, does this mean that my problem of starting martial arts too late has been solved by this technique?"

"No," Yue Hongling shook her head, "Why do we say that we should cultivate from a young age? Because children are more malleable, their dantian and meridians gradually expand as they practice, but you are already fixed. Your meridians are so narrow that they cannot withstand too violent bursts and delivery of true energy; your dantian is so small that even if you break through the ninth level of Heaven, you will find that your dantian cannot accommodate so much true energy. If there is no special opportunity, this generation is afraid to be limited."

Zhao Changhe smiled, "I see, thank you for explaining, I understand now."

Yue Hongling was surprised, "How can you be so carefree?"

The treasure that once washed the marrow and cut the veins was right in front of him. If he said he wanted it, he could have it. At least it proved that such a thing really existed in the world. Zhao Changhe was not so entangled, he smiled and said, "There is always a way out for those who persevere. There are always treasures in the world. Anyway, things are already like this. What's the use of being entangled? Let's just practice the Blood Killing Technique. According to what you said, it is also very strong."

Yue Hongling had to admit that this guy's carefree attitude was to her liking, so she comforted him, "The Blood Killing Technique cultivates qi and blood, and it is indeed better for young men. It can turn your age disadvantage into an advantage, and the upper limit of this technique is not low. You can rest assured to practice it first. When the time comes, who knows if there will be an opportunity?"

"Yes," Zhao Changhe said leisurely, "For this, I have endured many disadvantages. It's a helpless situation. Hey, speaking of which, there is a unique move in my Blood Killing Blade Technique called 'God and Buddha Scatter Together.' It requires an extremely outrageous amount of Blood Killing Qi to be activated, and it is said that at least the third level of Xuan Guan is required to barely use it. Can I use this true energy instead? If so, according to what you said, this quality should barely be able to use it once."

"Of course you can, it's just that it lacks that kind of fierce and brutal effect, and the effect will be discounted. After all, the martial arts that match the technique must have its unique effect, and other techniques cannot replace it. But as far as the blade technique itself is concerned, the power is still there."

"So it's just missing some paralyzing and terrifying special effects, and the power hasn't weakened much. That's fine."Yue Hongling thought his appearance was strange, but quite appropriate. The bandit leader seemed more cultured than herself... After thinking for a moment, she asked, "You must have a clear goal in asking this. What do you want to do?"

Zhao Changhe smiled slightly, "How can I not have some tricks up my sleeve? It doesn't necessarily have to be a clear goal."

Yue Hongling looked at him askew and felt that his smile was unpleasant, as if he was hiding something. She said, "Do you remember what I said before? I can teach you three things. Helping you cultivate your inner strength is just the first one."

Zhao Changhe scratched his head, distracted by various interruptions, and almost forgot. Yue Hongling did say she could teach him three things, and inner strength was just the "first" one.

He smiled apologetically and asked, "I'm already grateful for the inner strength. So what's the second one?"

Yue Hongling ground her teeth unconsciously and leisurely drew her sword, "I'll accompany you in a real fight."

Zhao Changhe was scared and took a step back, "What am I going to fight with you for? I'll just be defeated in a second. It won't be effective for training."

"You've been fighting with those rotten fish and shrimps all the time, but you haven't learned anything. Without experiencing real challenges and tasting the bitterness of failure, what's the value of your cultivation?" Yue Hongling was eager, "Alright, stop talking. Come at me... Oh, draw your sword!"

"I think you just want to fight me, don't you?"

"Don't slander me. I'm Yue Hongling, who is upright and doesn't blame others."

"Ouch... I fought back!"

"Come on, let me see how much you weigh. You can call me Yue'er if you can knock me down."

"As expected, you were waiting here..." Zhao Changhe was speechless and stopped running around the courtyard.

"If you can knock me down, you can call me Yue'er. I'd like to try it!" Yue Hongling stopped chasing him with interest and was about to say something when she saw Zhao Changhe stomp his right foot, suddenly turn around, and jump up with his sword, slashing down fiercely.

The scene at this moment was mysterious and demonic.

On New Year's Eve, the remaining crescent moon in the sky was like a hook. The blood-red blade aura fell from the sky, just blocking the crescent moon, as if a blood moon was descending from the sky, tearing through the sky.

In the darkness, Zhao Changhe's face was unclear, but a pair of blood-red pupils hung in the air, like a demon.

The Blood Slaughter filled the sky, and both gods and Buddhas were scattered!

This was not just Xuan Guan Triple, which could only be used once with great effort. This was at least Xuan Guan Five or Six, a unique skill that could be used daily. It was one of the Blood God Sect's most famous swordsmanship techniques, and in Zhao Changhe's hands, it showed its terrifying fangs for the first time.Yue Hongling had seen this knife before. Xue Sect Leader had used it. If the knife was completely driven by the Blood Slaughter Technique, Zhao Changhe guessed that the "fear" effect was real, and opponents with weak wills would truly be frightened by this strike.

However, it was unclear whether it was due to her weakened state from her injuries, or because the atmosphere was just right... Yue Hongling always felt that when she faced Xue Canghai, he did not have the same momentum as Zhao Changhe, who held the crescent moon like a blood god.

Is he really a natural-born villain? How could this demonic technique be so compatible with him?

With this thought flashing through her mind, Yue Hongling's long sword had already touched the edge of the blood moon.

The bright red glow reflected the sky, and the setting sun and blood moon coexisted in the sky, then disappeared into silence.

"Bang!" Zhao Changhe fell backwards several meters, heavily crashing into the courtyard wall and coughing painfully.

Looking up, Yue Hongling was also struggling to prop herself up with her sword, and there were a few drops of blood seeping from her lower abdomen where the wound had been torn open. She looked at Zhao Changhe coughing by the wall and felt some admiration in her eyes. Who could have predicted this outcome in advance?

Originally, her injury was nothing. It was just like an adult hitting a child with a casual sword strike. She didn't even need to use much force, so how could it have caused her wound to be pulled open? As a result, the power of Zhao Changhe's strike far exceeded her expectations, causing her to instinctively move her abdominal muscles, which naturally pulled on the wound.

It was really self-inflicted. Speaking of healing and recuperation, she ended up aggravating her own injury.

Hmm, it wasn't him who split it, so there was no need to call him Yue'er... Chaos Chronicles probably wouldn't make a fuss about it, otherwise Zhao Changhe's strike would have been famous.

Over there, Zhao Changhe struggled to prop himself up and suddenly laughed, "Great, great! You're right... this kind of battle is the most interesting... Let's do it again when you're healed!"
