I'm Just Making Up The Exercises, My Disciple, Have You Really Mastered Them?

Chapter 72: The Clash between Martial Dao and Martial Dao (Chapter Requested)

The journey from the capital to East River County is long, and there is a desolate stretch of road on the official route that spans several dozen miles without any signs of human habitation. In the middle of this stretch, the Qi Kingdom has set up a post station.

The post station is adjacent to endless mountains and is over a hundred miles away from Cloud Mountain County. Due to the Qi Kingdom's fervor in seeking out experts, many high-ranking officials from the capital would enter the endless mountains from here.

Therefore, they choose to temporarily stay at the post station. Because of this, the post station has increased its manpower to serve these high-ranking officials.

And on this day, a figure flew out from the endless mountains and landed directly in the post station.

"You are..." A small official at the post station saw Xue Wuxin descending from the sky and was initially shocked, but then became ecstatic.

Is this my opportunity?!

Thud!

He immediately knelt down and kowtowed.

"Respected expert, Ma Xiaoer pays his respects to the expert and earnestly requests to become the expert's disciple..."

Xue Wuxin was taken aback. Are people from the borderlands always this direct?

They kneel down and kowtow to me as soon as they see me, wanting to become my disciple?

"Hehe..." He chuckled sinisterly and said, "Blood Feast, you are not worthy of being my disciple!"

The small official was stunned. Blood Feast?

Thud!

Suddenly, he felt a pain in his chest. Lowering his head, he saw a thin thread piercing his chest, and his blood seemed to be sucked away.

"Help..."

Terrified, he wanted to call for help but fell to the ground, turning into a withered corpse.

Xue Wuxin frowned. "The quality of their blood is too poor. The borderlands have lost their spiritual vitality, and even the blood of the people here has become impure."

Thin threads spread out from his body and instantly pierced the chests of the other small officials at the post station.

Thud!

Withered corpses fell to the ground.

Not a single person at the post station survived.

"The impure blood needs to be purified each time before it can be used. As a result, a massive quantity of blood is required. To break through a small realm, it would require the blood sacrifice and consumption of several million people. Even if I sacrifice all the people in the borderlands, what difference would it make?"

A bloodthirsty gleam appeared in Xue Wuxin's eyes.

However, to blood sacrifice so many people and then purify their blood would require a significant amount of time.

"First, I'll slaughter a city to restore my injuries. Then, I'll find a few suitable candidates to cultivate as blood disciples for me to blood sacrifice and purify their blood."

"Ten years! Within ten years, I must break through to the Grandmaster realm!"

Xue Wuxin turned his head and looked towards the direction of the endless mountains, his eyes filled with a sinister expression.

"Within ten years, I will definitely return to the Inner Domain!"

After leaving the post station, he was about to head towards the nearest city to blood sacrifice and purify his blood to restore his injuries.

...

Xu Yan left the capital with many doubts and was eager to find his master to get answers.

He directly displayed his body movement technique and headed straight for East River County from the capital.

With his current strength, even a thousand-mile steed was far inferior to his speed. Therefore, Xu Yan did not choose to ride a horse. With the circulation of his qi and blood, his figure was as fast as the wind as he headed towards Cloud Mountain County.

"It's not a Corpse Fiend, so what kind of monster could it be that sucked the bodies dry?"

Xu Yan was still pondering over what could have caused the bodies to be drained of blood.

"We're almost at Cloud Mountain County."

Ahead was a post station, and Cloud Mountain County was just a hundred miles away.

"Let's take a break and relax a bit."

Xu Yan slowed down his pace and prepared to rest at the post station, while also inquiring with the officials if they had ever heard of a blood-sucking monster.

The post station is adjacent to the endless mountains. As an official of the post station, one must have a well-informed understanding of the legends within the endless mountains, more so than outsiders.

Traveling non-stop from the capital, Xu Yan's energy and blood were depleted. He couldn't meet his master in this state. If his master felt that he was restless, it wouldn't be good.

"One must not be impatient in the face of matters!"

Xu Yan thought to himself.

As he stopped and displayed his body technique, his depleted energy and blood were quickly recovering. His whole body's jade bones seemed to emit a radiant light, showcasing the strength of his foundation.

By the time Xu Yan stepped into the post station, his energy and blood had almost fully recovered to their peak.

"Something's not right!"

Suddenly, Xu Yan's expression slightly changed!

The sharp senses of a martial artist allowed him to detect abnormalities at the first moment. His energy and blood instantly surged, preparing for action and entering a state of alertness.

He felt a lurking danger nearby.

Practicing the Martial Dao and becoming a martial artist, this was the first time he had experienced such a feeling.

Xu Yan immediately realized that there was danger in the post station!

Moreover, this danger could actually threaten him!

"What could it be?"

Xu Yan felt his energy and blood boiling, and a fervent desire for battle emerged in his heart, as if he anticipated a fight with an unknown danger.

Step by step, he walked into the post station.

Suddenly!

His pupils contracted, and he saw a corpse!

The body of a post station clerk!

The withered corpse was exactly the same as the young master of the Ministry of War and his companions!

"Is it that monster?"

Xu Yan's heart tightened, and his sharp senses remained vigilant around him. Gradually, he caught the direction of the danger. The other party was standing behind the door of a room in the post station!

"It's not a monster, it seems to be a person!"

In that instant, Xu Yan's heart skipped a beat. Could it be another martial artist like himself?

A person from the world of the Martial Dao?

Where did they come from?

Why did they kill the post station clerk?

And... suck the clerk's blood dry!

What kind of martial artist is this?

Pfft!

Suddenly, a cold, almost transparent thread shot through the door and directly towards his chest. The attack was extremely swift, and its power was formidable!

In the room of the post station, Blood Xin's heart was filled with shock.

How could there be a martial artist in the border wilderness?

Moreover, this young martial artist seemed a bit unusual!

He was about to leave the post station and head to the nearby city to kill and offer blood sacrifices to recover from his injuries.

Suddenly, he sensed a powerful aura rushing towards the official road. The vigor of that blood made him feel alarmed.

"A martial artist from the inner domain coming to pursue me?

"No! That's not right. Why is the blood so terrifying?"

Blood Xin was shocked, and with a movement of his body, he hid back inside the post station.

That powerful aura was too unrestrained and surging, and the strength of the blood was simply terrifying!

How could there be someone in the world with such terrifying blood?

"If I could devour his blood, wouldn't I instantly recover from my injuries and even advance further in strength?"

The more Blood Xin thought about it, the more excited he became.

"In the border wilderness, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has dissipated. It's impossible for a martial artist to appear, but the inner domain doesn't exist either. Even if it's a grandmaster, they wouldn't possess such vigorous blood."

The more Blood Xin thought about it, the more puzzled he became.

"Could it be that the border wilderness can cultivate the Martial Dao?

"No, it's absolutely impossible!"

As Xu Yan entered the post station, even if he stopped using his body techniques and restrained his qi and blood, Blood Wu Xin could still sense the immense qi and blood within Xu Yan's body with his keen sensitivity to blood and qi.

The more he sensed, the more shocked he became.

"Is this qi and blood? Why does it feel different, and why does it have a fiery sensation? It seems boundless, this isn't just qi and blood, right?"

Blood Wu Xin was full of doubts.

"If I kill him, I can feel that if I can devour his qi and blood, not only can I recover from my injuries, but my foundation will also become more solid, and I might even have a breakthrough!"

Blood Wu Xin's eyes gleamed with bloodthirst.

With a flick of his finger, the Blood Devouring Silk shot out and directly hit Xu Yan's chest.

In the instant he made his move, he saw the young man slap his palm, and with a loud boom, a crimson dragon, carrying a terrifying aura, came crashing down.

"What kind of technique is this!"

Blood Wu Xin was shocked and lost his color.

Boom!

The room collapsed, debris flying everywhere. Xu Yan raised his hand and pushed out another palm strike, the crimson dragon sweeping down from the sky.

The fierce and domineering power of the Dragon Subduing Palm directly evaporated the Blood Devouring Silk, but Xu Yan's face was solemn, and there was a hint of confusion in his eyes.

Looking at Blood Wu Xin, who had risen into the air to avoid the attack, he was shocked in his heart.

"A Martial Artist of the Innate Realm? Is that True Qi?"

That cold thread seemed to be condensed from True Qi.

"No! Something's not right, True Qi shouldn't be this weak!

"The Innate Realm shouldn't be this weak either, what's going on with him?"

Xu Yan was full of doubts.

Blood Wu Xin stared at Xu Yan, becoming more and more shocked!

"A Martial Artist! He really is a Martial Artist!"

"Sent from the Inner Domain? No! That's not right, if it were a Martial Artist from the Inner Domain, they would have known it was me long ago."

Blood Wu Xin denied the idea of an Inner Domain Martial Artist.

Obviously, this young man was a Martial Artist from the Border Wasteland!

"Is he a Third Grade Martial Artist? No, stronger than a Third Grade Martial Artist, Second Grade? That's not right either, a Second Grade Martial Artist shouldn't be this strong, First Grade Martial Artist?

"Such a young First Grade Martial Artist?

"Something's not right, what kind of Martial Artist is this? A First Grade Martial Artist shouldn't be this strong!"

Blood Wu Xin was both shocked and puzzled.

"Qi and blood like a gang? What kind of Martial Artist, Martial Dao, and technique is this? A First Grade Martial Artist can cultivate Gang Qi, but it shouldn't be this vast and domineering, it shouldn't have such power.

"Why does it give me a feeling of a Qi Refining Grandmaster?

"However, it's not Grandmaster-level internal energy, it seems to be just qi and blood? Why is the qi and blood so strong?"

Blood Wu Xin felt his mind was in chaos.

What the hell is going on?

Xu Yan also looked confused. The cold aura emanating from Blood Wu Xin, that powerful strength, seemed like True Qi, but weaker than True Qi, lacking the immense power of Innate True Qi.

However, the fact that the opponent could fly in the air was something only someone in the Innate Realm could do.

If it was the Innate Realm, why were they so weak?

"Could it be because the technique I cultivated is too strong?"

Xu Yan fell into contemplation.

"But that's not right either, why do I feel that his physical body is not strong? It seems like his foundation in martial dao is not solid, and it seems like he has never cultivated qi and blood.

"It's strange, is he really an Innate Realm Martial Artist?

"Looking at his appearance, he doesn't seem like a good person, I should be careful!"

Qi and blood surged, a giant dragon coiled around Xu Yan's body, another giant dragon circled above his head, and there were even two more giant dragons raising their heads on his left and right, ready to attack at any time.

Facing a strong enemy, Xu Yan couldn't afford to be careless.

Blood Wu Xin's pupils contracted, that terrifying qi and blood, fiery like fire, gave him a strong sense of threat, and also a sense of longing.

His intuition told him that as long as he devoured the opponent's qi and blood, not only could he recover from his injuries, but he could also break through his strength!

A bloodthirsty gleam flashed in his eyes.

His already pale face became even more ghastly pale, and a chilling aura pervaded his body.

A slender and cold-bladed knife was drawn out from under the robe.

Xu Yan's gaze sharpened as he sensed the threat from the opponent's knife.

"It's a treasure knife!"

That knife had similarities with the sword he obtained from the Qi Kingdom's royal treasury, both of which were not ordinary steel blades.

"I didn't bring a sword with me!"

Xu Yan's heart slightly sank.

"After I go back, I will learn swordsmanship!"

Having made up his mind, he planned to find his master and learn a sword technique when he returned.

Buzz!

In Blood Wu Xin's hand, the long knife emitted a gloomy buzzing sound. The blade radiated a cold light, and a chilling aura filled the air. Fine threads floated around the knife, resembling long needles.

"Strike first!"

Upon seeing this, Xu Yan immediately pushed his hand forward, and with a loud boom, the Dragon Subduing Palm's power surged out.

Blood Wu Xin's eyes turned cold as he swung his knife down.

The cold blade aura, accompanied by the fine threads, was extremely sharp. It directly shattered the power of the Dragon Subduing Palm.

Boom!

The blade aura spread, and the chilling atmosphere caused the temperature to drop in an instant.

Xu Yan waved both hands, and the Dragon Subduing Palm was unleashed. In an instant, nine giant dragons roared and attacked Blood Wu Xin from all directions. Xu Yan's terrifying blood and qi were like a blazing flame.

Under the intense power of his blood and qi, the chilling aura was evaporated.

"I won't let this guy live!"

Blood Wu Xin's killing intent surged. The opponent's intense blood and qi restrained his internal energy, causing his strength to decrease by more than 20%. If he hadn't been at a higher realm than the opponent, he would have been completely overwhelmed at the same level.

In an instant, the blade light swept through, and the fine threads, like spider silk, continuously entangled, as if forming a giant web.

Boom!

Nine giant dragons attacked Blood Wu Xin from all directions. The domineering palm force layered upon layer seemed endless. However, Blood Wu Xin's blade light appeared even more sinister and fierce.

One blade after another shattered the giant dragons, and his figure constantly moved, continuously pressing forward.

The post station had already turned into ruins in the midst of the battle.

"So strong!"

Xu Yan's heart sank. The opponent's knife technique was ruthless, and the blade aura was rampant. It had actually shattered his Dragon Subduing Palm's power. However, he didn't retreat; instead, he became even more excited.

Finally, he encountered an opponent.

He could fight without reservation.

Against the Godly Might Army, he still couldn't fully enjoy himself.

Now, he could!

A martial artist is meant to fight!

His blood and qi surged, and the power of the Dragon Subduing Palm became stronger and stronger. With a loud boom, the tenth giant dragon emerged, and the ten giant dragons intertwined, further enhancing their might.

"Why do I feel that he's not that strong? An Innate Realm Martial Artist shouldn't be this weak."

Although the opponent temporarily had the upper hand, Xu Yan remained calm and began to doubt.

The opponent seemed too weak, lacking the strength that an Innate Realm should possess.

If his blood and qi were complete, he would definitely be able to defeat the opponent!

Blood Wu Xin became more and more alarmed as the battle continued. Although he had the advantage, it was extremely difficult to defeat the opponent.

The dragon-shaped palm force was unrivaled and extremely intense.

Moreover, the dragon-shaped palm force could change its attack. Clearly, the dragon's head was about to strike, but in mid-air, it suddenly twisted and turned into a tail strike!

What kind of palm technique could achieve this?

"Something's not right. What cultivation technique is he practicing? Based on my judgment, he seems to be a First Grade Martial Artist? But, a First Grade Martial Artist shouldn't have this kind of strength, nor possess such a powerful aura!"

Blood Wu Xin took a deep breath. He had to end the battle quickly.

With one swing of his knife, countless Bloodsucking Vampire Threads continuously entangled the giant dragons, hindering their transformations and agility, as well as their attack speed.

As his figure moved, he suddenly seized the moment when Xu Yan's Dragon Subduing Palm revealed a flaw and soared into the air. In mid-air, he thrust his knife down!
