Chapter 221 Falling Dragon Slays the Enemy, Spear Dao Perfected!
Chen Yi was highly accomplished in medicine and naturally knew some methods of acupuncture or using drugs to stimulate the body's potential.
However, most of those are evil practices, and their use has serious consequences, either severely damaging the meridians or harming the very foundation of the physical body.
A sudden burst of success in a short period of time may lead to a lifetime of stagnation.
Even if a normal person knew the method, they wouldn't dare to use it.
Unfortunately, there was a madman right in front of me.
Yan Fusha didn't care about anything else. After the drug took effect, Chen Yi was all that remained in his blood-red eyes.
"Kill! I'll kill you!"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly took a step forward, his whole body transforming into a streak of black light, and charged straight at them.
Without thinking too much, Chen Yi raised his gun and held it in front of him.
Almost as soon as he finished making the movement, a tremendous force surged through his chest.
—The power of ten thousand jun!
Chen Yi was sent flying backward, his eyes widening slightly as he stared at the ferocious figure that was attacking again.
His true energy surged and exploded, his strength flowing through his entire body, causing him to fall to the ground with the force of a thousand pounds.
Then his figure changed again, and with the skill of playing with dragons and phoenixes, he narrowly avoided Yan Fusha's claw that was aimed straight at his face.
If that claw lands firmly, a large part of his face will probably be torn off.
Yan Fusha missed her first attack, then crouched down and swept her leg up, aiming for Chen Yi's neck.
"die!"
Chen Yi raised his gun to block again.
Bang.
The powerful blow sent him flying.
Unlike the previous sudden attack, this time Chen Yi was better prepared and glided steadily along the ground.
He is currently at a disadvantage in terms of cultivation, technique, and physical body, and he absolutely must avoid being in mid-air.
That would only make him a target for Yan Fusha.
Chen Yi kept this in mind and personally deflected Yan Fusha's fierce and deadly moves one by one.
In particular, one must avoid the five-colored poisonous energy that bursts forth from Yan Fusha's palm.
In just ten breaths, the two exchanged over a hundred blows.
They moved so fast that you could only see two figures, one green and one black, entangled and then separated.
This caused all the trees and rocks within a radius of a hundred feet to crumble and shatter.
In particular, Yan Fusha's five-colored poisonous energy, whenever it is unleashed, will corrode a whole area.
With a hissing sound, wisps of foul-smelling poisonous smoke gradually spread, obscuring the surrounding dense forest.
Seeing this scene from a distant painted boat, Pei Guanli, no longer able to scold Yan Fusha, paced anxiously back and forth on the boat.
"Brother-in-law, please don't let anything happen to you."
"It's all my fault. If I hadn't fallen for those bastards' tricks, my brother-in-law wouldn't have ended up here."
Pei Guanli was worried and blamed herself, but she knew there was nothing she could do right now. She could only hope that Chen Yi would kill Yan Fusha or that someone would come to their rescue.
But she also knew.
Their current location is far from the capital of Shu Prefecture, and it is also on the banks of the Chishui River. Even if they make a big fuss, it will be difficult for the news to reach the capital.
Besides, tonight is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and even if someone goes out, it's impossible for them to come to this desolate wilderness.
Thinking about all this, Pei Guanli couldn't help but call out, "Brother-in-law, please be careful!"
Chen Yi was too preoccupied with his own problems to notice anything happening around him.
In the short half-hour of fighting Yan Fusha, even with all his strength, there were times when he could not withstand the attack.
The right arm, which had previously been corroded by the poisonous energy, was once again contaminated with the poisonous energy and was now swollen and painful.
Yan Fusha had scratched a layer of flesh on his chest, and the bloodstains were also infested with poisonous energy.
He had more than a dozen other wounds, large and small, with dark red blood and pus staining his body along with his tattered brocade robe.
It was undeniably tragic.
But Yan Fusha suffered an even worse fate.
Although his aura had not diminished, and his true essence, fist intent, and poisonous aura were still at their peak, his body was even more ferocious and terrifying than before.
Blood was flowing from the five orifices on his head, and from the eyes, mouth, and nose. Black blood vessels protruded from his body, with blood seeping out faintly.
That black night clothes were stained red with blood long ago.
But Yan Fusha seemed completely oblivious, relentlessly pursuing Chen Yi.
Its palms, claws, and even its joints and limbs are incredibly powerful.
The fist's intent, imbued with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, scattered patches of poisonous energy.
"Die? Why aren't you dead yet?"
"Someone as gifted as you should never be allowed to grow up, and we should never let you grow up!"
Chen Yi remained unmoved, his eyes never leaving Yan Fusha.
Even though he was in poor condition at the moment, he still did not intend to give up killing Yan Fusha.
He was just waiting for the right opportunity.
Fortunately, he was skilled in medicine. During the gaps in his defenses, he could use acupuncture to heal his wounds and slow down the rate at which the poison invaded his meridians and internal organs.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to hold on for so long.
Just then, a golden light flashed before Chen Yi's eyes—
[At 7:45 PM, witnessing the Mid-Autumn Poetry Gathering at Guiyun Academy, you won the top prize with your poem "Shuidiao Getou: Mid-Autumn Festival." Your calligraphy on the winding pond created a magnificent and enchanting scene, a truly outstanding performance.]
[Reward: "Mid-Autumn River Scroll", Luck +66.]
Chen Yi didn't have time to look any further and quickly dodged Yan Fusha's attack.
The appearance of large golden characters almost caused him to be hit in the face by Yan Fusha.
But the more you fear something, the more likely it is to happen.
In less than a quarter of an hour, golden light reappeared—
[Daily Intelligence - Mid-Grade Profound: At midnight, Yan Fusha and others from the Five Poisons Sect kidnap Chen Yi, the son-in-law of the Marquis of Dingyuan, and Pei Guanli from the Mountain Clan. A small amount of opportunity may be obtained.]
"..."
Chen Yi cursed under his breath, already getting a bit angry from the large golden characters and Yan Fusha's relentless pursuit.
Seeing Yan Fusha's aura beginning to weaken, he turned around and used the Dragon and Phoenix Movement Technique with all his might to leap three zhang away.
"Where do you think you're going?!"
escape?
Chen Yi snorted coldly, suddenly stood firm, and his true essence flowed through his entire body in an instant.
Without even looking at Yan Fusha's position, he turned around and thrust out a counterattack.
It is also the eighth move of the Falling Dragon Spear Technique: Heaven and Earth Reversal!
As soon as it was thrust out, the spear light split in two, like two golden dragons attacking Yan Fusha from above and below.
Chen Yi himself was positioned between the two golden dragons, his body and spear merging into one, transforming into a dragon form as he charged out.
Yan Fusha's eyes widened, and a ferocious smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"Good timing! Haha!"
As he spoke, he kept moving, facing the three dragon-shaped spear beams, his claws flipping upwards.
The five-colored poisonous energy coalesced into a ball.
He then pressed down with both claws—and ten poisonous blades slashed out.
Moments later, the three dragon-shaped spear beams collided with the poisonous energy, unleashing a deafening roar.
Boom, boom, boom...
The golden spear light scattered in all directions, and the five-colored poisonous energy surged, shattering everything within a radius of ten feet.
The rocks and trees were all reduced to tiny fragments and scattered in all directions.
In the midst of the deadly clash, time seemed to stand still.
Chen Yi could clearly see Yan Fusha's ferocious face, and also the several wounds left by the spear light piercing through his protective true energy.
He also saw the pustules formed on his wounds by the poisonous energy.
The next moment, a divine inspiration struck.
Chen Yi gripped the spear with both hands and swung it around, creating two circles of spear flowers, the golden spear light forming two whirlwinds.
It instantly swept away all the poisonous energy in the surrounding area.
Immediately afterward, without hesitation, Chen Yi used one of the four killing moves after the Falling Dragon Spear Technique reached the Heaven Rank.
Falling Dragon!
Then Chen Yi raised his spear high without any fancy moves and slashed down with it without any fancy moves.
But the long spear, swung in a wide arc, drew a golden arc like a half-moon.
What followed was an unusual disturbance in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, shaking the area within a hundred-foot radius—
A few hundred feet in diameter dark clouds appeared in the night sky in an instant, and golden lightning fell straight down.
Like a powerful golden dragon, it roared as it charged toward the unsuspecting Yan Fusha.
"Sing!!"
As the dragon's shadow struck Yan Fusha, a clear and long dragon's roar echoed in all directions.
A golden dragon shadow could be faintly seen spiraling upwards and disappearing into the dark clouds.
Chen Yi then appeared behind Yan Fusha, staggering as if exhausted.
In contrast, Yan Fusha slowly turned around. The surging true energy and qi were gone, and the black, ferocious things had disappeared, leaving only a withered body.
He raised his hand shakily, pointing at Chen Yi with a look of astonishment: "You, you... you've reached the pinnacle of spearmanship..."
The stages of martial arts, from beginner to intermediate, advanced, and finally perfect, all involve the application of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Different realms allow for the use of different powers of heaven and earth.
When you first begin, you are in the rudimentary stage of martial arts, and you can have sword energy and spear energy to enhance the power of your techniques.
The Lesser Completion Realm means that one has achieved some level of mastery in martial arts.
One can receive some of the blessings of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and also gain unique access to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Like the mountains and the wind in martial arts.
When one reaches the Great Perfection stage, the power of the technique is further expanded, the intent of the fist is heavier, the intent of the sword is sharper, and the range is wider.
These three realms are the limits that ordinary people in the martial arts world are familiar with, and they are also the limits of human power.
However, if one cultivates martial arts to the point of perfection, it is a different story.
The most obvious sign is the abnormal changes in nature—lightning and thunder, rivers flowing backward, and so on.
As long as a person's cultivation essence is sufficient, even moving mountains and filling seas is not impossible.
Therefore, in Yan Fusha's eyes, Chen Yi's Dragon-Falling Spear, which had just caused a change in the world, had already reached the perfect realm of spear technique.
But what is the truth?
Chen Yi glanced at him and shook his head, saying, "Not yet."
A dying man's words are often kind, so it's impossible for him to lie to Yan Fusha.
But just as Yan Fusha revealed a knowing smile and her body split in two, Chen Yi saw a dazzling golden light before his eyes.
One line after another of large golden characters appeared—
[At 11:15 AM, witnessed the Five Poisons Sect's Yan Fusha and others kidnapping Chen Yi, the son-in-law of the Marquis of Dingyuan's household, and Pei Guanli of the mountain clan, and personally killed fourteen Five Poisons Sect demons, including Yan Fusha, demonstrating excellent performance.]
[Reward: "Thousand Poisons Technique", +45 to Luck.]
[Gunplay skill improved, Gunplay: Falling Dragon, broke through to Perfect level, gained insight into the ultimate meaning of the gunplay]
[Gun Mastery: Advanced, progress +1000, reaching Perfection]
Chen Yi glanced at it, his face showing surprise, and then he realized that long passages of profound gun techniques were appearing in his mind.
"The Way of the Gun... has it truly reached perfection?"
Chen Yi looked at it twice more, and after confirming that he hadn't made a mistake, he couldn't help but look at Yan Fusha's corpse, a smile appearing on his face.
"Elder Yan, please forgive me. I did not mean to hide it, but the enlightenment came too suddenly."
Hey, you've mastered the art of gunplay!
This can truly be considered a blessing in disguise.
Before Chen Yi could even feel excited for a moment, everything went black before his eyes, and he fell backward.
It landed with a thud.
Then, one by one, the areas on his body that had been corroded by the poisonous energy began to swell up.
Fresh blood and pus flowed down in gushes.
Upon seeing this, Pei Guanli, who was on the Chishui River, turned from joy to worry. She hurriedly ran back to the painted boat to retrieve her bottles and jars, jumped off the boat, and swam desperately towards Chen Yi.
A moment later, Pei Guanli came to Chen Yi's side.
Without examining it closely, she took out the antidote powder and gave it to Chen Yi.
Her face was now streaked with tears. "Brother-in-law, don't scare me."
"You absolutely can't get hurt, otherwise, otherwise..."
Pei Guanli shook Chen Yi, sobbing, "Otherwise, Sister Jinghong won't forgive me."
"Brother-in-law, sob sob..."
At this moment, Chen Yi weakly said, "Don't cry, and... don't shake anymore."
"If this keeps going, I'm really going to die."
Pei Guanli's sobs stopped instantly, and she hugged him with a smile through her tears: "Brother-in-law, you're alright, you're alright..."
"Cough cough..."
Chen Yi tried to pry her off a couple of times, but when he couldn't break free, he let her hold him.
He gazed at the full moon peeking through the dense foliage of the trees and thought to himself:
This time it's really dangerous.
The Five Poisons Sect, Liu Zhaoxue of the Liu family in Jingzhou... This matter is not over!
What Chen Yi and Pei Guanli didn't know was that on a tree a hundred feet away from them...
Chen Yunfan stared at them in disbelief.
To be precise, he was looking at Chen Yi lying on the ground, his face and eyes filled with confusion.
"Yidi?"
"Is that Yi-di?"
"Yi Di has reached perfection in spear technique?!"
Damn it, this can't be.
How is that possible?
It should be noted that Chen Yunfan has been practicing martial arts since childhood, for more than ten years now, and his cultivation has just broken through to the lower level of the fourth rank.
He has only just reached the pinnacle of swordsmanship.
With such a rapid pace of cultivation, he had already been called a "prodigy" by the elders of his family.
He is said to be the person with the highest martial arts talent in the Chen family of Jiangnan Prefecture in the past hundred years.
But he is "a once-in-a-century talent," so what about Chen Yi?
He was younger than him and had a lower cultivation level, but his spear technique was far superior to his!
"Father, Mother, Second Uncle, Great-Grandfather, Third Grandfather, Fifth Grandfather, come and see!"
"Yi-di has made something of himself! He... his mother... he's mastered the art of spearmanship!"
Damn it, why should I?
To cultivate martial arts, he worked hard and endured hardship from a young age, but he couldn't show his skills, all in order to make a name for himself.
But before he could make a name for himself in the world, before he could roam freely in the martial arts world, he discovered that there was someone in his clan who was even more powerful than him.
“Brother Yi, you have mastered both calligraphy and spear fighting… Your talent puts me in a difficult position.”
A moment later.
Seeing that the traces of poisonous influence in his body had healed somewhat, Chen Yi couldn't help but speak again:
"Don't cry."
"Help me up, help me up."
Pei Guanli finally came to her senses and quickly helped him sit up. "Brother-in-law, are you feeling better?"
Whether it was good or bad, she saw it for herself.
At this moment, the poison in Chen Yi's body was still there. Except for his face, which was still relatively intact, the rest of his body was swollen and eroded.
It could be as terrible as it gets.
However, after examining the area with his Qi-observation technique, Chen Yi breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"Fortunately, they are all superficial injuries. The internal organs have not been affected by the poison. I estimate that they will be fully healed by tomorrow."
Pei Guanli was about to touch the wounds with heartache when she heard this and was taken aback: "Tomorrow?"
Chen Yi hummed in agreement, took out an earring, and began to treat his injuries as a makeshift solution.
While demonstrating his ability to control needles with his qi, he reminded everyone, "When you get back, don't mention anything that happened tonight."
"Your sister Wan'er is kind-hearted and can't pretend to be like these petty scheming people. Besides, she's not in good health, so we don't want her to worry if she finds out."
"If she asks, we should give the same story: you encountered some江湖 (jianghu, a term referring to the martial arts world) people and almost got into a fight..."
Pei Guanli nodded to indicate that she had remembered, while watching his actions with curiosity.
“Brother-in-law, is this ‘using qi to control needles’? I remember Grandma saying that only highly skilled medical masters can perform this.”
Chen Yi responded with a "yes" and continued, "Don't worry about these things for now. Just remember what I said and don't give yourself away like you did in front of your sister Jinghong."
"Brother-in-law, don't worry, I promise I won't give myself away."
"Speaking of which, what happened to you this time? You were carrying so many bottles and jars, and even Gu worms. How did you get captured by the Five Poisons Sect?"
Pei Guanli looked indignant when this was mentioned.
"They, they are so wicked! They actually deceived me with a child!"
“When I came out of the outhouse, a child ran up to me saying he couldn’t find his mother, so I thought I’d take him to look for her.”
"Who knew that I'd be knocked unconscious as soon as I entered a side path..."
I'm dizzy.
It's good that you're unconscious.
Chen Yunfan wished he were unconscious at that moment.
That way he could attribute everything to dreaming, not reality.
"Brother Yi is actually a medical genius..."
"Perfect in martial arts, perfect in calligraphy, a master of medicine..."
Chen Yunfan wiped his eyes; it wasn't that his vision was blurry, but rather that tears were almost streaming down his face.
He thought about it for a long time, but he still couldn't figure out how Chen Yi cultivated.
The concept of "calligraphy" is still relatively easy to understand.
Chen Yi studied diligently from a young age and his handwriting was quite good; even when he was locked in the woodshed, he could still write and draw.
Chen Yunfan doesn't feel there's anything wrong with his current achievements in calligraphy.
But what about martial arts and medicine?
Chen Yi had never come into contact with medical classics, at least not before he came to Shuzhou.
In just a few months, he had mastered the art of medicine to a minor level and learned to control needles with qi.
Chen Yunfan couldn't understand even more when Chen Yi had started practicing martial arts.
After much thought, he could only come up with one possibility.
“During those years, Yi Di was not imprisoned by his mother, but secretly practicing martial arts.”
"It is not impossible for someone to have mastered the art of spearmanship in five years and then break through to the perfect realm in the face of a life-or-death crisis today."
"But was his cultivation of martial arts also arranged by his father?"
Chen Yunfan had no idea what was going on, but he was determined to find a way to contact his father.
He wanted to find out exactly what was going on with Yi Di's martial arts, calligraphy, and medicine skills.
"He's not human, he's a monster!"
Thinking of this, Chen Yunfan took a deep breath, glanced at Chen Yi one last time, and turned to head towards the prefectural city.
He had only walked a hundred feet when he suddenly stopped and turned back to look at Chen Yi, his eyes filled with surprise and realization.
"The way of the gun, the technique of the gun..."
"The person who drugged me that night, was it... was it Brother Yi?"
"Then he drugged me and brought people to wake me up?"
From Chen Yi's display of skill in marksmanship and medicine, Chen Yunfan instantly understood everything and couldn't help but show a resentful expression.
"Yi Di often goes to Bai Cao Tang in the West Market."
"And the night Cui Qingwu had his accident, the Xiao family was framed..."
"Damn it, damn it, damn it... Brother Yi, you've kept this from me for so long!"
"You, you, you...you just wait, brother!"
Chen Yunfan's previous intention to rescue Chen Yi had long since vanished.
Rescue?
Save him my ass! It's either him or me!
