The Fire Cloud Snake's head was pierced by the Flowing Light Sword. Its pupils, which had condensed into a point, became a little dizzy, and its huge body became noticeably soft, no longer having the intimidating power it had before.
Gao Xuan stood in front of the Fire Cloud Snake. He said with some sympathy: "Little darling, don't struggle. Just die in peace."
The Fire Cloud Snake obviously didn't want to die like this. It tried to open its mouth but its movements were a little slow.
Gao Xuan took a step forward and punched hard, hitting the hilt of the Liuguang Sword with both fists.
This style of Vajra Pestle is the most powerful downward smashing punch among the Twelve Techniques of the Five Elements.
Gao Xuan also mobilized the strength of all his muscles, bones, and flesh in his body into his fists, and his fists had a force of seven or eight thousand kilograms.
This kind of power may not seem that scary when spoken of, but when it bursts out from the fists, it is extremely powerful.
The Liuguang Sword was smashed and suddenly sank, and the hilt went straight into the deep of the Fire Cloud Snake's head.
The Fire Cloud Snake's head, which had just been raised, was pierced through by the Flowing Sword and nailed into the ground.
The Fire Cloud Snake suffered severe blows one after another, but its vitality was strong. It lay on the ground, twisting its tail and trying to struggle.
Gao Xuan's five fingers were like blades and pierced into the wound on the snake's head. Then he grabbed the snake's brain tissue like hooks and crushed it to pieces.
He twisted the snake's head again, and the entire brain tissue turned into tofu dregs.
During this process, Gao Xuan felt a round and smooth bead and grabbed it without hesitation.
The red beads are the size of mung beans, but they are crystal clear and emit red light.
It was a small bead, but Gao Xuan felt it was heavy and hot when he held it in his hand.
The energy and blood power overflowing from this bead is even more powerful and endless.
If the qi and blood of an ordinary person is a ball of fire, Gao Xuan's current qi and blood is like a steel-making furnace, then the qi and blood in this bead is like an erupting volcano.
Gao Xuan didn’t know what this thing was, but it must be a good thing.
He took the bead and retreated quickly, all the way to the side of the stone wall. No matter what kind of monster the Fire Cloud Snake was, it had no reason to survive after its brain was crushed to pieces.
Just be careful not to let the snake attack you before it dies, so you need to keep some distance.
Gao Xuan grabbed the Fire Cloud Snake's brain and smashed it, and even its eyes burst open. Its huge body kept twisting and shaking on the ground, but it couldn't get up.
After twitching like this for a while, the Fire Cloud Snake's body softened and it became completely motionless.
The Fire Cloud Snake in this state was obviously completely dead.
Gao Xuan glanced at the gem in his hand. He didn’t know how to use it, but it didn’t matter. He just swallowed it.
The six-winged cicada is here, and it will remind him if there is any danger.
He checked the conditions of Ye Jinxiu and Aunt Xia. Aunt Xia had more than a dozen broken ribs, which was a bit tragic. Ye Jinxiu only had two broken soft ribs.
However, their heartbeats were stable and their organs were not obviously damaged. Although they were unconscious, they were not dead.
The energy and blood power of this Fire Cloud Snake Pearl is like a volcanic eruption. It cannot be hidden. If you take it out, it will be a trouble. It must be digested as soon as possible.
Gao Xuan swallowed the pearl in one gulp. He felt like he was swallowing a ball of fire. When the snake pearl entered his stomach, the fire turned into a fuel-air bomb and exploded.
The energy of Qi and blood exploded wildly in his internal organs and spread to his tendons, bones, skin and flesh. Gao Xuan felt as if he was instantly roasted to eighty percent by the fire. The instantaneous severe pain made his face a little deformed.
Gao Xuan's skin turned red, the color was like burning charcoal. His 180,000 pores seemed to be spewing fire at the same time.
Gao Xuan became calmer despite the severe pain. He knew that it was because his qi and blood were too strong that he had the illusion of being on fire.
He couldn't panic at this time, or else the violent and disordered Qi and blood would burn his internal organs. He had to guide the Qi and blood to merge in an orderly manner in order to strengthen his body.
He visualized the golden-armored warrior in his sea of consciousness, and all the black-gold acupoints appeared in his body.
According to the Thirteen Guardians' Horizontal Training Method, Gao Xuan stretched his body and performed various physical exercises. Through movements and spirit, he guided the violent Qi and blood in his body to open up the acupoints one by one.
The first acupoint to be opened is the eyebrow acupoint. This is the root of the human soul's external connection, and is called the palace of the spirit.
For a warrior, using Qi and blood to open up this acupoint is very dangerous. If the Qi and blood are not strong enough, the acupoint cannot be opened. If the Qi and blood are too strong, it may damage the brain.
Only with the guidance and support of a famous master can a warrior open this acupoint.
Gao Xuan didn't care. No one in the world should know his body better than him. Although he couldn't use his powerful mental strength, it was enough to control his blood.
Gao Xuan felt a chill between his eyebrows, and the acupoint between his eyebrows was opened.
This acupoint is related to the spirit and six senses, and is also the most important threshold for warriors.
Opening up the acupoint between the eyebrows means that Gao Xuan has entered a high level of martial arts and no longer relies solely on the strength of his body's bones, muscles and tendons.
The five senses of the ears, nose, eyes, tongue and body were elevated to a whole new level. Externally, Gao Xuan could sense a wider and deeper level. Internally, Gao Xuan could see the subtle changes in the muscles, bones and internal organs.
At this point, Gao Xuan can control this body more finely.
Gao Xuan used his spiritual power to restrain the violent energy and blood, and opened up the acupoints in his body in an orderly manner.
Arms and fists, legs and feet, chest and vest. Every time an acupoint was opened, Gao Xuan felt that his control over his body became stronger.
There were continuous and popping sounds inside Gao Xuan's body, like firecrackers.
It's not just the bones that make the sound, but also the blood, internal organs, and acupoints, all making the sound under the push of qi and blood.
Gao Xuan's body was born with strong muscles and bones, but he had lived in a bad environment since childhood, and had been exposed to wind and cold, and had eaten countless bad things.
Practicing the Thirteen Taibao Horizontal Training Method without the corresponding medicine actually causes great damage to the body.
The heart, liver, and stomach are all worn out and aged, just like a person in his forties or fifties.
Through the energy and blood of the snake beads, the acupoints are opened, the acupoints stimulate the regeneration of the internal organs, strengthen the tendons and bones, and strengthen the skin and flesh...
This is equivalent to using the power of Qi and blood to reshape the body and completely renew the damaged and overworked organs. This is also the brilliance of the body refining technique.
However, Gao Xuan's action was too radical. If the snake bead's huge energy and blood power was not guided properly, it would explode and die.
The energy and blood of the snake bead were indeed strong. Gao Xuan opened up all the acupoints marked on the Thirteen Guardians' Horizontal Training Method, and there was still a small amount of energy and blood left in his body.
When Gao Xuan Wu Kung Fu reaches this level, he can control the skin, flesh, tendons and bones externally, and control the internal organs, Qi and blood internally.
He has reached the state of marrow cleansing and internal organs rebirth through the Book of Changes.
According to the standards for measuring warriors in this world, he has already reached the level of an innate martial artist, with both his inner and outer qualities being the same.
The next level is the Grandmaster realm, where one can transform thousands of people into a new person by exchanging blood. Above the Grandmaster realm is the Martial Saint realm, where one can break mountains and rivers with his might and be indestructible. Above the Martial Saint realm is the Martial God realm, where one can reach the power of gods and be reborn by dripping blood.
Xiantian martial arts masters are already first-rate masters in this world. As for grandmasters, they are all top masters. Not to mention that there are none in Tongcheng, there are not many in the whole world.
As for the Martial Saint, he is already an unrivaled national hero. There have been only a few Martial Gods in the past thousands of years. Each Martial God is legendary...
Given Gao Xuan's physical condition, his strong spirit, and his extraordinary wisdom, it would take him twenty years of hard training to move from the bone refining level to the innate level where his inner and outer being are one.
Moreover, certain external resources are also needed.
This Fire Cloud Snake has lived for who knows how many thousands of years. This cold-blooded creature has been able to ignore the environment and survive underground all the time, relying on the powerful energy and blood power within the snake bead.
Although Gao Xuan absorbed the snake bead in a crude and simple way, he was able to convert about 70% of it by relying on his strong mental power.
After all 128 acupoints of the Thirteen Guardians' Horizontal Training Method were opened, a small amount of the snake bead's qi and blood power still remained.
Gao Xuan had already mastered the Thirteen Guardians' Horizontal Training Method to the highest level. At least, it was the highest level he had learned.
Gao Xuan felt that this method of body training was quite profound and should have a higher level. Although he was a martial arts master, the principles were different, and the specific details of martial arts training were even more different.
Even though he had practiced the Thirteen Guardians' Horizontal Training Method to this level, it was difficult for him to deduce the next level of training.
The method of using Qi and blood to open up the acupoints is extremely subtle and subtle, and a slight mistake will lead to a huge error.
The remaining qi and blood of the snake bead can only be temporarily stored in numerous acupoints.
Gao Xuan had time to see Ye Jinxiu only after he finished his own work.
His strength has reached the level of an innate martial artist, his inner and outer self are one, and he has a deeper understanding of the power of this world.
At the same level of innate martial artist, other martial artists are just stronger and more capable of fighting.
With Gao Xuan's insight and wisdom, the power of both inside and outside is not only an improvement in level, but also opens up a whole new dimension.
When Gao Xuan looked at Ye Jinxiu again, he could go deep into her internal organs and see her inside and out.
He stretched out his fingers and tapped Ye Jinxiu's body a few times, stimulating her acupoints with the powerful force of qi and blood, unblocking the stagnant blood and allowing her qi and blood to flow smoothly.
Finally, Gao Xuan tapped Ye Jinxiu's forehead with just the right amount of force to stimulate her dormant consciousness, causing her to suddenly wake up.
Ye Jinxiu, who had just woken up, was still a little dazed and didn't quite understand the situation for a while.
While Ye Jinxiu was confused, Gao Xuan did the same thing and woke Aunt Xia up.
This woman in her thirties still had her charm. Because of her advanced martial arts skills, her skin was elastic and full of vitality. Especially her plump figure was beyond Ye Jinxiu's reach.
Ye Jinxiu watched Gao Xuan touching Aunt Xia's body. She knew that Gao Xuan was trying to save her. But Gao Xuan's actions reminded her of her own situation, and her face immediately turned red.
At this time, Ye Jinxiu finally sorted out all the situations.
When Aunt Xia woke up, Ye Jinxiu suppressed her shyness and said to Gao Xuan: "Mr. Gao, it was all thanks to you who saved us this time. I will repay you generously."
"No problem."
Gao Xuan said: "You two are both seriously injured, you should get medical treatment as soon as possible. I will take you out first."
Ye Jinxiu glanced at the Fire Cloud Snake reluctantly: "This thing is precious, I wonder what Brother Gao plans to do with it?"
Ye Jinxiu was young, but she was very experienced. Seeing that Gao Xuan had a good attitude, she tried to get close to him.
The address also changed from Mr. Gao to Brother Gao.
Gao Xuan understood what Ye Jinxiu meant. At this time, the two of them were seriously injured and had no power to fight for the Fire Cloud Snake. Ye Jinxiu also had to be more generous and tacitly acknowledge that the snake belonged to him. Asking him for his opinion on how to deal with it was also a way of expressing this.
It was actually very difficult to do this. After all, Ye Jinxiu had made great efforts and almost killed the Fire Cloud Snake, so Gao Xuan was able to succeed by taking advantage of them.
But at this time, Ye Jinxiu did not mention any of this. This is where she is smart.
Gao Xuan said: "I took the snake bead, I don't want the rest."
The snake bead was the most valuable treasure of the Fire Cloud Snake. After eating the snake bead, the flesh and blood of the Fire Cloud Snake would be of no use to him.
The skin of the Fire Cloud Snake is also a good thing. It can be made into leather armor that is impervious to swords and guns and is impervious to water and fire. However, this kind of craftsmanship is extremely complicated. Gao Xuan is not interested in this.
Ye Jinxiu understood what Gao Xuan meant, and she was delighted. So many people had died and a huge price had been paid, but this time it was finally not in vain.
She said seriously, "Leave the Fire Cloud Snake to me. I will definitely leave the best things for Brother Gao..."
Gao Xuan suddenly had a feeling, and he said to Ye Jinxiu: "There is someone outside, and it doesn't look like someone from your family."
Many people came outside, all of them were full of murderous intent. They didn't look like people from the Ye family.
Ye Jinxiu's expression changed slightly: "Maybe the news leaked out, and the Shi family came looking for us."
The Shi family is also a family of Tongcheng, and has been enemies with the Ye family for generations. However, the strength of both sides is similar, and no one dares to act rashly.
This time, the Shi family may have received the news and came to take advantage of the situation.
Ye Jinxiu said anxiously: "Let's hide first."
Before she finished her words, a group of people rushed into the cave. They were all holding swords and wearing various kinds of armor.
The leader was a middle-aged man with long eyebrows and thin eyes, a long scar on his face, and a long knife in his hand. He looked murderous.
When Ye Jinxiu saw the middle-aged man, her heart went cold. She said with a pale face, "It's over. It's Shi Jiudao. This man is the most cruel and vicious..."
The cave was filled with burning wood, making it as bright as day.
As soon as Shi Jiudao and the others came in, they saw the dead Fire Cloud Snake, and Ye Jinxiu and Aunt Xia lying motionless on the ground. As for Gao Xuan, he was automatically ignored by Shi Jiudao and the others.
Shi Jiudao laughed wildly: "Ye Jinxiu, you have come to this day too."
He shouted to everyone around him: "We want the Fire Cloud Snake, and we want Ye Jinxiu too. Let's have some meat today and have a taste of the eldest lady of the Ye family..."
Everyone in the Shi family was excited and agreed immediately.
Ye Jinxiu's face became even uglier. She whispered to Gao Xuan, "Brother Gao, you are no match for them. Go first. Tell my family about this for me. I will repay your kindness in my next life."
Gao Xuan asked curiously, "What are you going to do?"
Ye Jinxiu clenched her fists and said firmly: "What can I do? I will fight with my life, and the only way is death!"
