Longevity Begins with the Seven Injuries Fist-Chapter 266 - 168: Hundred Birds Phoenix Spear! The Noble Family Behind It! (Part 2)
This man saw Su Que arrive silently and then saw the Rakshasa Mask, causing him to be seventy percent shocked in his heart.
At this moment, he felt the oppressive aura suppressing his entire body, his heart immediately filled with fear and his whole body trembled.
"Over there." The man pointed tremulously towards a place in the manor, from where he had come down earlier.
With a "pah" sound, this person also fell to the ground.
Su Que’s figure suddenly blurred, darting towards the place the man indicated.
...
Within a luxurious mansion in the manor, the aroma of wine and meat wafted, and the sounds of clinking bowls and shouting were endless.
Su Que stepped directly into the mansion.
His Gang Condensing Qi now exceeded three zhang, while the Manor Master of Chaofeng Manor, Gu Jingyan, had a Gang Condensing Qi of only three zhang.
In terms of Martial Arts Realm alone, he was already more formidable than Gu Jingyan, not to mention his Martial Arts Mastery.
Moreover, he possessed the Secret Skills of the Demon Saber, which could enhance his strength.
Therefore, he could absolutely crush this group of bandits, with no need for ambushes, he could move directly against them.
Gu Jingyan was drinking when he suddenly felt uneasy.
This was the instinct of a Martial Artist before danger arrives.
The higher the Martial Arts Realm, the more acute the Martial Artist’s senses.
He immediately looked up towards the mansion’s entrance.
Then he saw Su Que, wearing the Rakshasa Mask, walking into the mansion.
Gu Jingyan’s heart jolted, his gaze fixed.
Immediately, other bandits noticed their leader’s abnormality and looked towards the entrance.
"Who are you?" A lackey shouted.
"Gu Jingyan, I want to talk to you." The gaze under Su Que’s mask pierced through the bandits and fell on Gu Jingyan’s face.
Gu Jingyan sat at the main seat, it was obvious who was the leader here.
"How dare you...puff!"
A lackey with a flushed face stood up, about to curse at Su Que’s arrogance.
Su Que’s right hand suddenly blurred, then reformed.
The head of this lackey instantly flew into the air!
Blood spurted from the neck like a fountain, shooting upwards.
Immediately, chaos erupted at the feast.
Each bandit became vigilant.
And at the moment he saw Su Que, Gu Jingyan had already bent down, reaching under the table to grab the Hundred Birds Phoenix Spear.
At this moment, Gu Jingyan held the Hundred Birds Phoenix Spear, assuming a stance, and commanded his subordinates: "Get him!"
Upon hearing Gu Jingyan’s order, his subordinates exchanged glances, then shouted and charged at Su Que.
Su Que suddenly exerted force, bricks under his feet flew back, his whole person like a bolt of lightning, swept through the bandits.
He wielded the Demon Saber with his right hand, each bandit he approached had their head flying skyward.
Gu Jingyan’s expression was grave, his eyes tightly focused on Su Que.
Seeing Su Que’s rapid approach and great strength, he dared not be careless.
Clasping the Hundred Birds Phoenix Spear with both hands, he gathered energy throughout his body, focusing it at his wrists, then with a flick, thrust the spear at Su Que!
’Fire Phoenix Scorched Earth!’
His opening move was a killing technique.
With a "boom", fierce flames burst from the spearhead, transforming into a Phoenix and pouncing at Su Que!
Su Que, enveloped in Demonic Qi, rushed towards Gu Jingyan.
As he was about to reach Gu Jingyan, he suddenly chopped with his right hand!
An unparalleled Sword Gang appeared in mid-air, slashing towards the fire phoenix!
Upon encountering the Sword Gang, the fire phoenix immediately dissipated.
The remaining force of the Sword Gang struck the Hundred Birds Phoenix Spear in Gu Jingyan’s hands.
"Ah!"
Gu Jingyan cried out in pain.
The Sword Gang shattered the Hundred Birds Phoenix Spear, fragments splattered in all directions.
Gu Jingyan’s hands were split at the tiger’s mouth and the palm, dripping with blood.
Subsequently, the Sword Gang carved a scar on Gu Jingyan’s body.
Su Que had intentionally held back his strength with that blow.
After shattering Gu Jingyan’s Hundred Birds Phoenix Spear, the Sword Gang gradually diminished.
Its force would only injure Gu Jingyan, not kill him.
Su Que then reached Gu Jingyan’s presence, grabbed him by the collar, and asked:
"Who gave you the information about the Robbery Elixir?"
Gu Jingyan finally understood why Su Que had come.
After Su Que’s question, he sealed his lips tightly, saying nothing.
Su Que immediately injected a strand of Marriage Robe Divine Skill True Qi into Gu Jingyan’s body, aiming at his Five Viscera and Six Bowels.
The Marriage Robe Divine Skill True Qi raged like thunder and fire, causing Gu Jingyan immediate unbearable pain, letting out a miserable shout.
Blood gushed from the chest wound inflicted by Su Que.
In unbearable pain, Gu Jingyan shouted, "I’ll talk! I’ll talk!"
Su Que then withdrew a part of the Marriage Robe Divine Skill True Qi, still leaving a part wandering in Gu Jingyan’s body.
Gu Jingyan groaned as he said, "It’s the Ou Family!"
"The Ou Family?" Su Que slightly frowned.
Gu Jingyan said, "It’s the Ou Family of the Nine Great Noble Families in the Central Plains, the Celestial Deformed Foot Ou Family."
"However, only a branch of the Ou Family is here."
’So the mastermind behind it is a Noble Family...’ Su Que thought after hearing this.
Then he asked again, "What is the strength of the Patriarch of this Ou Family branch?"
Gu Jingyan said, "It’s said that the Patriarch of this Ou Family branch can condense a five zhang Gang Qi, and his Celestial Deformed Foot prowess is quite high, extremely formidable!"
Hearing this, Su Que pondered.
He could wield the Demon Saber, for him, a five zhang Gang Qi was surely manageable.
Moreover, battling a formidable opponent could provoke Demonic Qi, enhancing his Demon Saber further.
"Where is the Ou Family?" Su Que asked.
Gu Jingyan immediately told Su Que the location of the Ou Family.
Unfamiliar with the Central Plains, Su Que didn’t know this place, so he temporarily memorized it.
Then he reached for Gu Jingyan, using the Nine Yin Corpse Claw to finish him off.
...
Su Que went to the city where the Heaven-Breaking Martial Artist had settled, found the Heaven-Breaking Martial Artist.
He had one of them find out the route to the Ou Family branch, planning to head to the Ou Family the next day himself.
Then, thinking in his heart, wondering if after destroying the Ou Family, would there be no more robbery of their elixirs.
Thinking of this, he then instructed a Heaven-Breaking Martial Artist to find out any other forces comparable to the Ou Family branch along their return route with the elixirs, besides the Ou Family branch.
Thus, three Martial Artists left the inn to scout for information.
Su Que instructed the remaining Martial Artists, "If you find any information, come to my room and seek me."
Then Su Que went to the guest room arranged by the Martial Artists, closed the door, and began his cultivation.
After a while, the Martial Artist who scouted the way to the Ou Family branch knocked on Su Que’s door.
Su Que completed his skills, let him in, and memorized the route to the Ou Family branch.
Half an hour later, the Martial Artists who inquired about the forces along their route returned one after another, reporting to Su Que.
After hearing the three’s words, Su Que learned that the largest force in the area was the Ou Family branch.
However, from one Martial Artist’s mouth, he learned that outside the Ou Family branch’s sphere of influence, there were other forces.
Thus he couldn’t help but ponder.
If he were to annihilate this Ou Family branch, would other forces come to occupy the Ou Family branch’s territory, continuing the elixir looting.
’So, to stop the Ou Family branch from stealing elixirs, he should control the Ou Family branch, rather than annihilate it.’ Su Que thought of this and continued pondering ways to control others.
What he could think of was either poison that acted periodically or a way to control others’ martial arts.
Although he knew the Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons, the Myriad Poison True Qi, once inside a person, would continuously harm them, unable to act periodically.
’I’ll ask Elder Qingxuan if he can make a poison that acts periodically.’
Su Que thought of this, immediately instructed a Martial Artist to return to Jiannan Prefecture City to send a message to Elder Qingxuan.
Then five Martial Artists were sent out to check nearby for any characters or forces proficient in controlling others’ martial arts.
