Chapter 10, Return
The voice of the yellow oriole came through: "If it were not for your resolute decision, perhaps today the entire population of Daqingzhuang would not have survived!"
Mister No Name
In the cellar, provisions and clean water were naturally prepared, and mixing them with the remaining time would certainly not be a problem. However, Wu Ming still preferred to conserve his strength, in case of any unforeseen changes
Move! Get moving!
The shaman, in extreme pain, put away the ritual drum and, holding the centipede, approached with a sinister smile, saying: "I will skin you alive to use your hide as material for the ritual drum..."
A tremendous noise erupted from the ground, clearly sealing off the entrance
Task completed! Begin settlement!
Wu Ming closed his eyes: "The yellow oriole girl still has strength, so it would be wise to rest more, after all, there is still some time to endure ahead!"
A more terrifying drumbeat than last time echoed, and in an instant, Wu Ming felt his blood run cold, as if he could hear the wails of vengeful spirits by his ears. His vision was filled with golden stars, and he nearly fainted.
At this moment, he concentrated his thoughts and could feel strands of true energy being generated in his dantian, circulating through his limbs and bones
Amidst the chaos, Wu Ming effortlessly moved through the manor and suddenly arrived at the back of a magnificent courtyard, where he dug through the soil and lifted a stone slab
After the transformation of true energy, a martial artist's every move possesses strength beyond that of ordinary individuals. The next step is to continuously cultivate and strengthen the true energy, filling the dantian, acupoints, and meridians, refining the entire body, which is known as returning to the innate after the acquired.
Wu Ming's heart screamed desperately, his vital energy reaching its peak in that instant. Suddenly, with a crack, it was as if something had shattered, and a thread of purest true energy emerged from his dantian, swiftly circulating throughout his body
Although the shaman's blood drum and whistle appear to be good items, and he might even possess some secret witchcraft manuals, the layer of fine black insects truly sends chills down Wu Ming's spine
In this time of great chaos, regardless of whether the Hu people or the villagers emerge victorious, neither can escape their own fate
Han people ... ... you will die in an extremely tragic manner ... ...
He had almost considered everything this time, the only thing he overlooked was the shaman's astonishing power, which even included long-range area attacks
Yet he suddenly raised his head and beheld, above the primordial chaos, a resplendent and magnificent celestial palace, standing proudly and towering, indescribable by any words, as if it had existed since time immemorial, transcending the universe
Wang Yin moved like a swift spirit snake, advancing in curves, occasionally lowering his head and bending his body to evade the invisible toxins. Suddenly, he arrived in front of the shaman, thrusting his spear forward, ready to pierce this foreign demon with a single strike.
Squeak!
Rumbling!
Did the leader of the Hu people die
Whoosh!
What a toxic poison
The spear that was originally meant to be thrust down hung limply, blood oozing from the mouth and nose, while two lines of blood dripped down beside the ears
Wu Ming suddenly looked up, beaming with a bright smile, as he drew his bow and nocked an arrow, sending a wolf-tooth arrow flying out.
In the light, the beautiful one's eyes resemble the stars
In this world of martial arts, the initial physical realm consists of nine levels: Calm Heart, Flesh, Tendons and Bones, Inner Strength, True Qi, Innate, External Gang, Internal Gang, and Extreme Transformation
The shaman glared venomously at Wang Yin and Wu Ming, uttering a curse in the rigid and stiff language of the Great Xia. Ignoring the injury to his right hand, he directly took down the ritual drum and struck it forcefully.
It seems that the shaman just used a type of area attack, and the closer one is, the greater the damage. Although the king's seal is at the True Qi realm, being too close resulted in bleeding from the seven orifices. As for me, being at a distance, it was merely a temporary disruption of my vital energy, which can be suppressed once I break through to the True Qi realm
It was not merely a matter of bearing the royal seal and taking on the burden; one had to break through in the face of adversity, which would undoubtedly lead to a situation where survival was uncertain and perilous.
A resonant sound echoed, and before Wu Ming, a luminous screen suddenly appeared.
Puff
True Qi Realm
Moreover, Wang Yin's performance was even more dismal
The oriole inquired
At this moment, changing to Wu Ming, breaking through in the blood battle is a natural progression, as if water flows smoothly into a channel
The formless sound waves in the void coalesce, seemingly transforming into lethal arrows capable of taking a life
Wu Ming felt a power several times stronger than before surging in his dantian, and he was somewhat gratified
Puff
Hmm
At this moment, he was overwhelmed with sorrow, his breath weakened, and the poison in his hand immediately turned against him. The two-tailed centipede hissed and bit down on his thumb, causing him to die instantly
A blood flower appeared on his neck, the shaman fell to the ground, the mask fell off, revealing a cold and sinister face: "No... it can't be..."
In an instant, a sensation of the world spinning around him enveloped Wu Ming, who could only silently give the main temple the middle finger in his heart, and then everything before him turned black
A blood flower appeared in the right hand of the shaman, and the bone whistle fell. However, Wu Ming seized the opportunity and shot an arrow, nearly taking the man's life.
Wu Ming glanced around a few times, suddenly clapped his hands, pushed down the brick wall, and in an instant, slipped inside, also covering it with a stone slab
It has long been anticipated that this would be the case, so why bother expending unnecessary effort?
Wu Ming felt as if he bore a weight of a thousand pounds, trapped in a nightmare from which he could not awaken. He noticed the shaman's grim and ghastly eyes fixed upon him, while the flames behind him dwindled, and the figures of Hu cavalry appeared, accompanied by their shouts.
This strike unexpectedly injured two great warriors at the same time
As for the fire outside, it was naturally set by him in secret
Two wolf fangs almost arrived in a tail-to-head manner. The shaman could not imagine that Wu Ming could still move. He turned and retreated swiftly, a layer of blood-red appearing on his body, deflecting the first wolf fang arrow, but he ultimately could not evade the second one
At present, there is no rejection, and both hands begin to explore in an unruly manner
You all must die
Just as Wu Ming was deep in thought, a low voice, soft and melodious, yet trembling, came from beside him, carrying an indescribable quality.
After he shot the arrow, he did not hesitate any longer and continued to shoot arrows in quick succession
What happened
Watching Wang Yin rushing over, a rare panic appeared in the shaman's eyes, and the piercing bone whistle kept making noise.
Feeling that he had regained his mobility and even possessed a stronger physical body, Wu Ming immediately realized that he had made a breakthrough in his martial arts.
You have arrived
The riot continued throughout the night.
Wu Ming pondered silently in his heart
Is it really necessary to pursue martial arts? A meat shield warrior has no future. Shouldn't we consider exploring the paths of Taoists and Qi practitioners? No! With the main divine temple here, isn't it possible to choose any path we desire? As long as there are enough reward points! No, merits!
In the slight heat wave, voices such as 'The Hu people are leaving!', 'The water is flowing!', and 'Save people, save the fire!' continuously echoed, yet Wu Ming remained as calm as a still pond.
Dong!
Unfortunately ... ...
He let out a cold laugh and took out a black scorpion from his waist pouch, flicking it towards Wang Yin's face
Naturally died... Next, let's wait here until the deadline arrives!
Being human in two lifetimes, Wu Mingzao is not a man who adheres to strict etiquette, let alone the easiest to arouse a man's desire between life and death.
In the midst of a wail, Wang Yin failed to dodge and was stung directly on the face by a scorpion. In an instant, he fell to the ground without any other sound.
Oh!
Wu Ming's mind was spinning, while on the surface he appeared to be walking slowly. The shaman with a grim smile on his face was actually full of panic, as he pulled out a double-tailed centipede and stared at the other person.
Until the next day, through the ventilation duct, Wu Ming still heard a lot of crying mixed with voices like "Catch that couple!" and "Burn the outsiders!" It was obvious that Qin Hu and his affairs had become the target of the villagers' venting.
Wu Ming is working hard to recover the physical strength lost before, while also constantly listening to the sounds from the outside with both ears.
However... finally reached the True Qi Realm!
Wu Ming was slightly startled, and then felt a scorching hot body being embraced by him. He heard the beauty whispering in his ear: "Great gratitude for saving my life... I have no way to repay you, I can only..."
That dandy had abundant resources before, and in fact, the foundation had already been completed. It was only the lack of experience and temperament that caused him to be stuck at the bottleneck of inner strength cultivation, unable to generate true energy for a long time.
Huang Ying remained silent, without asking why she needed to hide.
The entire Daqing Village, on the outskirts, is similar to a slum area, with houses made of grass and wood, naturally prone to catching fire. However, the location chosen by Wu Ming is the wealthy area within the village, located in the center, alongside ancestral halls and large mansions. These buildings are made of bricks and tiles, less susceptible to fire. The villagers often gather here, as their lives depend on it, and they naturally make great efforts to extinguish fires, resulting in minimal impact.
Therefore, the shaman of the Hu people must have the ability to search for living beings, and they must be set up and eliminated, otherwise it will truly be like catching turtles in a jar.
Wu Ming stood in the void, looking at the surrounding scene that seemed to be the beginning of chaos, with his heart moved: "Without the oriole, it seems that everyone is returning to their respective exclusive spaces?"
Main mission completed! Reincarnator returns!
It's really a blessing in disguise... I didn't expect that, even though I already had a high opinion of the shaman, their strength still exceeded my imagination...
In the darkness, not knowing the passage of time, it is quite difficult to endure.
Wu Ming, on the other hand, finds joy amidst hardship, focusing on the progress of his own martial arts:
If the Hu people win a great victory, they will surely kill even more brutally.
However, this doesn't seem to be a commonly used move. Just as Wu Ming saw Shaman Wu's attack, he stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
After finally defeating the opponent, wouldn't it be extremely unfair if we were killed while searching the corpse?
定心乃是入道之始 , 其后的皮肉、筋骨、内壮、都是不断打磨肉窍 , 练气血、筋骨、肌肉、乃至内脏基础的过程。 Tranlsation: The foundation of entering the Dao lies in calming the mind. The subsequent refinement of the skin, muscles, tendons, bones, and internal strength is a continuous process of polishing the body orifices. It is a process of cultivating the foundation of qi, blood, tendons, muscles, and even internal organs.
In the darkness, there was only the scent of the yellow oriole beside him, carrying a fragrant aroma, causing Wu Ming to exhale a long breath.
The oriole's melodious singing, as the two were about to take their relationship to the next level, an imposing and grand voice sounded untimely.
Just peel it!
Don't you get angry?
Listening to the prompt from the main temple, Wu Ming looked at the cavalry charging not far away, as well as the shamanic corpses crawling out of the ground, and reluctantly retreated, quickly disappearing into the alley.
But not setting fire is even worse.
Kill the Shaman, gain 300 minor achievements!
After all, first there was Qin Hu's betrayal, and then Wu Ming's arson. Even if it was for the good of the people in Daqingzhuang Township, speaking out would surely stir up strong emotions and could lead to being beaten to death.
Where is this?
During these nights, he was not engaging in wild and reckless behavior with Huang Ying, as Qin Hu had imagined. Instead, he was surveying the terrain and excavating underground cellars.
Furthermore, Wu Ming is also quite clear that if it were so easy to just bury one's head and pass through, one would have been acting like a coward from the beginning.
