Cultivating for Immorality: I Evolved Martial Arts into the Immortal Path – Chapter 100

Chapter 100

Chapter 100: Blood Soaring Technique

A duel of saber techniques?

Chu Liang’s expression turned strange.

He really didn’t want to bully anyone.

But Li Feng looked eager, practically throwing himself onto Chu Liang’s saber.

“Junior Martial Brother, let’s just have a match! We’ll stop when one yields, just to see who’s better. Senior Martial Brother can control my strength, I definitely won’t hurt you!” Li Feng, probably afraid that Chu Liang wouldn’t agree, hastily added many seemingly advantageous conditions for Chu Liang.

Stopping when one yields, not a fight to the death.

It was clear that he really wanted this fight.

But Chu Liang said, “Senior Martial Brother, even if you win, I can’t give you the stone tablet. The tablet belongs to the Hall Master, I’m only borrowing it.”

“Then let’s ask Master to be our witness!” Li Feng immediately said.

“You really want to ask?”

“Yes! If Junior Martial Brother can’t bring himself to ask, I will! Master is in the Martial Alliance right now.”

“Then… alright, let’s see what the Hall Master says.”

Chu Liang tentatively agreed.

If he didn’t agree, with Li Feng’s personality, he would probably keep finding opportunities to bother Chu Liang.

Chu Liang didn’t want to be constantly disturbed. He just wanted to find a quiet place to comprehend his movement technique.

Thus, the two went together to the Martial Alliance’s Guardian Hall.

Hall Master Li Ren was in the Guardian Hall discussing matters.

After the two left, Liang Han coldly said, “Li Ren’s strength is acceptable, but his judgment in choosing disciples is really poor. He actually chose such a simple-minded disciple.”

In the library, the Librarian said, “That’s not called simple-minded, that’s called pure-hearted and straightforward.”

“It’s the same thing, what’s the difference?” Liang Han replied, “But this is good, I want to see how that kid Chu Liang will handle this.”

“Do you really think Chu Liang’s saber technique hasn’t even reached the entry level?” the Librarian asked him.

“It’s only been two months, it’s normal if he hasn’t reached the entry level,” Liang Han answered.

“He’s a genius.”

“I was also a genius back then!”

Liang Han snorted and ignored him, walking straight towards the Guardian Hall.

Indeed, any martial artist who could cultivate to Five Strands of Qi and Blood was basically labeled a “genius” in their youth.

It was already night.

The atmosphere in the Guardian Hall was serious, with oil lamps lit, their flames flickering gently.

Because of today’s incident with the demon beasts, the Martial Alliance had invited all the influential experts in the county town to discuss matters.

The Hall Masters of the three major martial arts halls were all present, along with some Hall Masters of smaller martial arts halls. In addition, there were leaders of other factions, and even the black market had sent a representative.

“What does everyone think of today’s incident?”

Merit Hall Master Luo Hong asked everyone with a grave expression.

“The demon beasts’ actions this time were too abnormal. They deliberately hunted our human martial artists and left the corpses behind. There must be a Great Demon behind this, commanding and planning,” said Black Sword Hall Master Qi Hong.

“Yes, maybe even more than one Great Demon.”

Autumn Blade Hall Master Li Ren said solemnly.

Great Demon was what they called Ranked Demon Beasts.

Ordinary demon beasts were unranked, corresponding to the Blood Coagulation Realm of human martial artists, such as the tiger demon and wolf demon killed by Chu Liang.

Ranked Demon Beasts were categorized as Low-Rank, Mid-Rank, and High-Rank, corresponding to the Skin Tempering, Tendon Tempering, and Bone Tempering Realms of humans.

Even a Low-Rank Great Demon posed a great threat to the county town.

The demon race was naturally skilled in combat, with tough skin and thick flesh. A demon beast of the same realm could often fight three or four human martial artists at the same time.

There were only four Skin Tempering Realm experts in the entire county town. If a Low-Rank Great Demon came, these four would probably have to join forces to deal with it.

If several came…

The crowd couldn’t even imagine that scene.

“Can we request reinforcements from the prefectural city?” asked the owner of the Xu Clan Cloth Shop.

“We can’t. We don’t know the demon race’s specific plans yet. If we directly request reinforcements, it might be a wasted trip for the experts from the prefectural city,” Ye Long, the Hall Master of the Dragon and Snake Hall, shook his head slightly.

“Hall Master Ye is right.”

“This matter has already been reported to the prefectural city. They told us to remain steady.”

“Steady?”

Everyone couldn’t help but feel worried.

They wanted to remain steady, but they were afraid the demon beasts wouldn’t allow it.

What if that Great Demon gathered a group of demons and directly attacked the county town?

By then, even if the prefectural city received the news, it would be too late.

By the time the experts from the prefectural city arrived, the county town would probably be filled with skeletons.

As everyone was discussing, a Guardian Hall official suddenly entered the hall and said to Li Ren, “Hall Master Li, your disciple is looking for you.”

“Which disciple?” Li Ren asked.

“Second Disciple, Li Feng.”

“Tell him I’m busy right now and will see him later.”

“It’s not just Li Feng, Chu Liang is also here,” the official said. “Hall Master Li, the two of them seem to have a dispute and need a decision.”

“Chu Liang is also here?”

Li Ren frowned. He valued Chu Liang highly and couldn’t treat him like an ordinary disciple.

The Guardian Hall Master suddenly spoke, “Old Li, let them in, let’s see what’s going on.”

“Alright.”

Li Ren nodded. He knew that the Guardian Hall Master was probably doing this for Chu Liang’s sake.

In such an important setting, ordinary disciples couldn’t enter and could only wait outside.

Before long, Chu Liang and Li Feng were brought into the hall.

The discussion in the hall gradually quieted down.

Everyone turned their heads, their gazes sweeping over the two, most lingering on Chu Liang for a few extra moments.

They were all curious about this genius who had even been praised by the Martial Alliance Leader himself.

The Guardian Hall Master asked, “What’s the matter between you two?”

Li Feng stood tall and answered in a loud voice, “Hall Master, I would like to ask my Master to be our witness.”

“Witness what?”

“I wish to have a duel of saber techniques with Junior Martial Brother Chu. If I win, I ask that Master lend me the treasure of the hall for comprehension.”

“Oh?”

The Guardian Hall Master seemed to have become interested and asked, “Li Feng, you’ve been practicing the Autumn Blade Technique for five years, right?”

◈◈◈

“Yes!”

“Chu Liang has only been practicing for two months. Don’t you think this duel is unfair?”

“Hall Master, as my Master said, there is no such thing as unfairness in a fight between martial artists. The enemy will not show mercy just because you have been practicing for a shorter time.”

Li Feng faced the renowned Guardian Hall Master without being servile or overbearing, his voice clear.

He was right about this.

The others around nodded slightly in agreement.

“Mm, well said.”

The Guardian Hall Master smiled, looked at Li Ren, and said, “Old Li, this is your own matter, you handle it yourself.”

“Alright.”

Li Ren frowned slightly, his gaze resting on his Second Disciple, Li Feng.

He knew this disciple’s temperament very well.

He couldn’t stop this battle, he could only let it happen.

“A-Feng, do you think I’m being unfair and partial to Chu Liang?” Li Ren asked him.

“Yes!”

“Alright, I’ll give you a chance, just a duel of saber techniques!”

“Thank you, Master!”

Li Feng’s face lit up with joy, and he hastily bowed in thanks.

Seeing him like this, Li Ren couldn’t help but feel a little helpless.

A martial artist needed to have composure, not showing their emotions outwardly, and not revealing their likes and dislikes. Only then could they survive in this treacherous world.

But his Second Disciple was too straightforward and would inevitably suffer losses in the future.

“Chu Liang, do you have any objections?” Li Ren asked Chu Liang.

“No objections,” Chu Liang shook his head.

“Alright, you two go back and prepare. The duel will be held in the martial arts hall two days from now.”

“Yes.”

The two answered in unison and then left the Guardian Hall.

After they left, the hall immediately became lively again.

Mountain Fist Martial Arts Hall’s Hall Master, Shen Nong, smiled and said, “Old Li, you are indeed partial to Chu Liang. No matter how talented Chu Liang is, he can’t possibly surpass Li Feng, who has been practicing saber techniques for five years, right? Why did you have to give the treasure of the hall to Chu Liang?”

“I have my own plans,” Li Ren said calmly.

“Hall Master Li, aren’t you afraid that Chu Liang will lose so badly that his confidence will be shattered, and he will be unable to recover from then on?” asked the Hall Master of Boulder Martial Arts Hall.

“I’m not worried.”

Li Ren looked out of the hall. He wasn’t worried about Chu Liang at all, but rather about Li Feng.

Chu Liang’s saber technique was something even he found amazing.

Compared to that, Li Feng’s saber technique was still like a babbling infant.

Among all the people present, only Li Ren himself knew the outcome of the battle two days later.

“Li Feng is too impatient. Oh well, let’s just treat this as a lesson for him,” Li Ren sighed inwardly.

On the other side.

After leaving the hall, Chu Liang and Li Feng said goodbye and Chu Liang went straight out of the Martial Alliance.

He returned to the Yunlai Restaurant and asked Shopkeeper Qi about the house.

Qi Shun smiled and said, “Brother Chu, the house is ready. It’s located in the central-north area, a large three-courtyard residence.”

“A three-courtyard residence? Someone was selling such a house?” Chu Liang was surprised. Land in the county town was precious, and he was buying in a hurry. He thought it would be good enough to buy a one-courtyard residence.

“The original owner of the house is planning to do business in the prefectural city and sold everything in the county town. Brother Chu, you just happened to be in time.”

“Is the title deed clean?”

“Clean, there won’t be any trouble!”

“That’s good.”

Chu Liang followed Qi Shun to take a look at the house.

The location was indeed good.

The main gate was on a relatively quiet bluestone alley.

Out the door, crossing two alleys, was the market in the north of the city.

It wasn’t far from the Martial Alliance and the three major martial arts halls, making it one of the best locations in the entire county town.

“I’ll bring Second Uncle and the others over tomorrow.”

Chu Liang didn’t want to delay. The sooner the better.

He said goodbye to Qi Shun and returned to the Autumn Blade Martial Arts Hall.

In the martial arts hall, news of his duel with Li Feng had already spread.

It was already night, and many disciples were discussing it privately in their respective courtyards. Most were looking forward to this duel.

One was a genius, and the other was a direct disciple of the Hall Master who had been training for many years.

Who would win?

No matter who won, they would definitely witness an extremely exciting duel.

“This time it won’t be over in one move like last time, right?”

Someone thought of Chu Liang’s previous conflict with Xu Hua.

At that time, many disciples rushed over to watch, but they only saw one slap.

“It shouldn’t be this time. Even if Senior Martial Brother Chu can’t beat Senior Martial Brother Li, he won’t be defeated in one move.”

“That’s right. I hope Senior Martial Brother Chu can hold on for a little longer so I can get a good look at the intricacies of the 《Autumn Blade Technique》.”

Those disciples who practiced the 《Autumn Blade Technique》 were especially looking forward to it.

The night grew darker.

Chu Liang didn’t pay attention to the outside voices and remained calm.

He sat in the courtyard, carefully studying the Third-Rate movement technique that had evolved from the 《Light Body Leap》—the Blood Soaring Technique.

“This 《Blood Soaring Technique》 is similar to other martial skills in its application of Qi and Blood. It focuses on ‘explosiveness’ and ‘agility’. When mastered, it can produce unimaginable speed in an instant.”
