Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning-Chapter 298 - 167 Yixuan Divine Skill_3

"Turns out this man, despite being seriously injured, had seen through all the maneuvers between your father and me every day.

"At that time, I was still full of vigor and simply refused to believe such a statement.

"I immediately retorted, but unexpectedly, that man wasn’t angry at all and just asked me to strike him.

"I really didn’t want to lay a hand on this dying man, critically injured as he was.

"However, after repeated provocation and still being incensed, plus being idle and frustrated for the past three months, I wanted to show him how formidable I was.

"In the end, I did strike him.

"My attack was meant not to harm his life, yet it was no small feat.

"But to my surprise, despite his serious injuries and weakened body, he casually deflected it; with an odd force entangling and rebounding with his flick, I found myself being forced back several steps.

"His martial arts were mysterious, something I had never seen or heard of before.

"Regrettably, he was gravely injured at the time and started coughing up blood after making a move.

"In the end, he sighed softly, saying he probably wouldn’t make it and that this life was likely to be lost there.

"He then asked your father and me whether we would leave or not.

"Naturally, your father insisted on staying, and if he was staying, I would stay too.

"Seeing this, that man could only sigh helplessly and said, since it was fate, he would impart to us two sets of martial arts to cope with the imminent disaster.

"Your father and I of course didn’t want to accept them, but the man said that if we refused, since we were all going to die, he might as well die right in front of us.

"Hearing his tone, it was clear he wasn’t joking, so your father and I had no choice but to accept his teachings."

Yang Xiaoyun asked upon hearing this, "Is it the set of martial arts you often use?"

"Um."

Yang Yizhi nodded, "He bestowed upon us two kinds of skills, one of Inner Strength called ’Yixuan Divine Skill.’

"Another... is the Jinghong Fenguang hand."

"He claimed that the Yixuan Divine Skill possesses the miraculous ability to tap into the essence of nature and could serve as the basis of all Martial Arts under the heavens.

"The greatest benefit of practicing this skill is that it does not conflict with any type of martial arts from all sects and factions.

"The Inner Strength cultivated can be integrated into one’s original Inner Strength.

"At first, it requires careful control to use, but over time one can naturally draw upon the Yixuan Divine Skill while practicing their own Inner Strength.

"As a result, the two synergize and the Inner Strength increases exponentially.

"Its unique ’Yixuan Heavenly Aura’ forms a natural protective Gang Qi.

"You have also seen me using it...

"Although I initially scoffed at it, practicing it later made me appreciate its subtleties.

"Your father and I were kind of geniuses; after half a month of practice, the Yixuan Divine Skill already showed signs of progress.

"At that point, that man finally revealed his background to us...

"He claimed his name was... Shou Xuan."

Upon hearing these two words, Su Mo frowned involuntarily.

"Shou Xuan? The Shou from ’guarding,’ and Xuan from ’mysterious’?"

Yang Yizhi looked up at Su Mo, smiled slightly, found a place to sit down, and reflected:

"If at that time your father and I had been as perceptive as you, perhaps those later events wouldn’t have happened.

"But at that time, we simply took it as an ordinary name.

"Shou Xuan told us he came from a hidden lineage, a family that had been guarding something for generations.

"The reason he got severely injured this time was that an enemy, coveting those things, had turned one of their own against them, thus leading to the theft of some items from within their ranks.

"He left to retrieve them, only to fall into an enemy’s trap.

"Outnumbered, he ultimately ended up in such a state.

"After telling us this, he handed over an item to us and said that since his life was hanging by a thread and we had received the Yixuan Divine Skill, we should... deliver this item to his family’s lineage.

"Hand it over to the elder in the family for safekeeping.

"Yet, as soon as he finished saying this, Black clothed Men launched an attack on us from all sides..."

At that time, both Su Tianyang and Yang Yizhi had made small but significant progress with the Yixuan Divine Skill, with their Inner Strength increasing manifold.

The Jinghong Fenguang hand was only just learned and thus was not used.

The Black clothed Men underestimated them, and as a result, were no match.

Only Shou Xuan was unable to avoid death in this battle.

With no other choice, Su Tianyang and Yang Yizhi cleaned up the scene of the fight, erased their tracks, and then headed to the family mentioned by Shou Xuan.

"But unexpectedly...

"Upon our arrival, what we saw was the silence of purgatory.

"The blood had almost stained every inch of land red.

"Bodies piled up like mountains, a sight too horrifying to describe!

"We searched among the corpses, in the collapsed houses.

"In the end... we indeed found someone who was seriously hurt but had not yet fully passed away.

"This person had a knife wound in his chest, but due to a natural variation having his heart on the right side, he barely clung to life by the time your father and I arrived.

"We immediately used the Immortality Rejuvenation Pill to treat him, and ultimately, we saved his life.

"Yet, the fundamental damage he sustained rendered his martial arts incapable of returning to their former level.

"After asking for his name, he said he was... Shouli."

He looked at Su Mo as he said this: "This person is the same one you met later... Li Siyun.

"Hmph, he was supposed to be dead back then.

"If it weren’t for your father saving him... how could he have barely clung to life until now?

"Yet, he talked nonsense in front of you, dragging you into the whole affair, truly detestable to the extreme."

Su Mo, upon hearing this, resolved some of his previous confusion.

"The misunderstanding Li Siyun had about me... could it be, because of this Yixuan Divine Skill?"

How could someone with mediocre martial arts skills suddenly make such a leap in progress?

For ordinary martial arts, this would be extremely difficult.

But the Yixuan Divine Skill makes it possible.

Su Tianyang and Yang Yizhi were indeed geniuses, but had the Yixuan Divine Skill not been so mystical, how could their Inner Strength have increased so significantly in just half a month?

Presumably, Li Siyun, seeing Su Mo, who was ordinary before, suddenly able to execute three commands with a single sword within Xuanji Valley, thought that Su Tianyang had made some arrangements before his death to pass on the Yixuan Divine Skill to him.

Only then could he go from being quiet for ten years to causing a sensation.

After Yang Yizhi finished listening, he gave Su Mo a glance and sighed softly:

"This is only part of it, and up to this point, the matter is far from over..."
