Undying Blood: The Path of the Ancient God

Chapter 7

Somewhat taken aback, Mu Qiu nodded and turned around, saying with a polite bow, "Then, allow me to express my gratitude in advance, Elder Sun!"

Saying this, Sun Dahai simply waved his stick, not adding anything else.

...

Without lingering, Mu Qiu started back home.

He hadn't walked far from the Tribute Palace when he saw a familiar figure blocking his path.

It was the familiar person he hadn't seen in many days, Zhao Wuliang.

Beside Zhao Wuliang stood a young man dressed in brocade robes with an extraordinary air.

Mu Qiu recognized this young man, Luo Bin, the current senior brother of the outer sect.

Standing in Mu Qiu's path, Zhao Wuliang sneered coolly and spat out, "What, trying to run after seeing me?"

During the last confrontation in the dining hall, Mu Qiu had forced him to eat his meal off the floor, utterly humiliating him.

For Zhao Wuliang, being able to endure until now was nothing short of a massive disgrace.

Finally, my cousin was released today.

This disgrace is meant to be reclaimed!

"Mu Qiu, it's been a long time. I thought you were expelled from the sect," Luo Bin stepped forward and chuckled, jokingly saying, "but to my surprise, my cousin mentioned that you're still hanging around."

Done laughing, Mu Qiu slightly furrowed his brows, "What do you want?"

Speaking of which, he and Luo Bin were acquaintances.

Both of them joined the Hengshan Sect at the same time.

Back then, Luo Bin often flattered Mu Qiu.

Not until Mu Qiu's Dantian was shattered.

Then Luo Bin became Zhao Liqing's follower.

Speaking of which, Luo Bin later being able to become the elder brother of the outer gates, in addition to his undeniable talent, had a lot to do with Zhao Liqing.

Because Luo Bin was originally Zhao Liqing's spy placed in the outer gate.

However, considering his status as the elder brother of the outer gate.

There were certain things Luo Bin didn't want to handle directly.

So, he often let his cousin take his place.

This was also why Zhao Wuliang had been continually bullying him every few days for the past three years.

"Indeed, there's something to do!" Luo Bin laughed cynically, "I'll cripple your limbs!"

Without another word, he suddenly attacked.

As his palm turned into a claw, he stabbed at Mu Qiu's arm.

Nobody expected Luo Bin would be so ruthless.

He didn't hold back at all.

If this palm strike reached its target, Mu Qiu's arm would definitely be completely useless.

A shattered Dantian could maybe be nursed back to health.

But if his limbs were crippled, what sort of storm can Mu Qiu still stir up?

Evidently, even Mu Qiu didn't anticipate that Luo Bin would truly be heartless enough to ignore the rules of the clan to bring him down.

He wanted to dodge, but it was already too late.

In a rush, he could only slightly turn his body aside, not allowing the claw to grasp onto him solidly.

"Bang!"

That claw still landed on Mu Qiu's shoulder.

Fortunately, he managed to dodge the important acupoints on his arm.

Five bloody marks appeared, blood started to flow.

Mu Qiu retreated, his facial expression turned cold, "Despicable!"

Were it not for his sturdy body and timely response,

That claw just now might have clawed into his flesh and crushed his bones!

"Frankly speaking, you really surprised me."

Retracting his hand, Luo Bin glanced at the wound on Mu Qiu's shoulder.

Indeed, just as Zhao Wuliang had said,

Mu Qiu, truly should not be underestimated when it comes to physical training.

"Very well, let me see just how strong your body has become."

Nodding slightly, Luo Bin was even more resolved to break Mu Qiu's limbs,

At this moment, he once again took action.

He leaped forward and struck out with his palm directly towards Mu Qiu's face.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Mu Qiu raised his fist to resist.

After the third strike, Mu Qiu found himself at a disadvantage.

Wiping off the blood at the corner of his lips, he gave a small laugh. "Seems like you've grown a lot in these three years!"

Three years' time had caused him to miss out a lot.

Among his peers, he had already fallen far behind.

Even Luo Bin, as of now, was already standing at the pinnacle of martial arts.

He was just one step away from surpassing the mortal realm.

And what about Zhao Liqing who had already entered into the internal door faction?

He was probably even stronger!

"Mu Qiu, you thought everyone has been a waste like you in these three years?" Luo Bin sneered and pointed at Mu Qiu, mimicking the action of slitting his throat. "Today, I will break you!"

With that, he leaped at Mu Qiu forcefully.

Without a second thought, Mu Qiu exerted all his energy and the power of the ancient gods to withstand Luo Bin's attack.

As time progressed, Mu Qiu started to show signs of exhaustion.

Although he was physically strong, he could only withstand a full-strength attack from a martial artist of the sixth realm.

And Luo Bin was standing at the pinnacle of martial arts.

The situation did not look promising!

"Look, it's the Senior Brother disciplining Mu Qiu!"

"This Mu Qiu, how could he go so many moves against the Senior Brother?"

The cries of battle drew the attention of others.

Watching from a distance, they dared not get too close, whispering to each other.

The more Luo Bin fought, the more apprehensive he became.

In the beginning, he only used thirty percent of his strength.

As the fight continued, it increased to forty percent, fifty percent!

With fifty percent of his strength, he was, surprisingly, having a hard time bringing down Mu Qiu for the time being.

It seems, he had genuinely underestimated Mu Qiu's physical prowess.

With this thought, he swung his leg forward.

Luo Bin roared, "This is the end!"

Suddenly, shadows of his leg surrounded Mu Qiu.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Mu Qiu was already at the end of his tether, with no time to dodge.

Immediately, he took over a dozen kicks on his body.

Retreating nonstop, he eventually ran out of strength, half kneeling on the ground.

One hand supporting him on the ground, refusing to let his body collapse.

From his mouth and nose, blood spilled in all directions.
