He keeps patrolling sometimes jumping over trees or gliding down from hills or soaring upwards.
He heard the chirping of the birds and the songs of nature.
Like the day before, he thought that today would be another boring day but then as he passes a tree, he suddenly stopped.
His sudden stop had dispersed the pressure and impact of the energy on his foot to the breach. The branch breaks and exploded but Li Xin expertly somersaulted in the air and then landed gracefully on the ground. He ran back the distance and then look toward left.
There is a stream of water rushing and then there is a tree not far from that stream of water.
Li Xin saw a woman there, leaning on the tree, appearing to be unconscious.
‘Hell! Zhou Qingxuan!’ Li Xin could not believe himself. This gambit of him really works
But before he could walk suddenly there is something that appears in front of his eyes. It is the quest notification
[Special Quest]
Jianghu is full of dangers. The choices you made would affect the future. As the host knows the future development of certain parts of destiny, the host is now presented with two choices.
Save this woman who would one day become a scourge of Wulin or kill her and end this threat before it even began.
Whichever way you choose, destiny would change. A small stone is thrown to the calm lake. There would be ripples.
There are always choices like this in Jianghu and in Wulin. What is the heroic way? Is it to kill this helpless woman? Or is it to save this woman and hopping for the best?
Should you be cruel now or should you be kind and regret it later?
The choice of the host would affect many things
In Wulin, nothing is as it seems, it is hard to tell between right and wrong. Keep your martial heart and keep moving forward!
Reward: Medium Gift Pack (the prize will depend on the choice of the host)
Li Xin was shocked at the sudden quest that is generated.
‘Hey!’ He thought at the system shocked.
Li Xin shook his head.
‘Whoa. Killing her?’
Yes, he did have intention of stealing from Zhou Qingxuan but it is not like he wanted to kill her.
His face right now is complicated. Now that the quest suddenly pops up, Li Xin does remember about the deeds of this Demoness.
Of course, what he heard is only rumors and there is no way to know whether that is really the truth
After all, Li Xin is just a low level disciple when he is in the game. Now, the game had become a real world.
Who knows if it is still the same
Right and wrong…. which one is the right answer, which one is the wrong answer? Is there even one.
Li Xin himself did not know what he would do so he walks forward toward that tree with conflicting feeling
He arrives in front of that tree and he could see that Zhou Qingxuan face is pale but there is some weirdness.
She is sweating all over but when she exhales her breath cold air seems to come out of her mouth.
There is blood on her clothes.
‘Tsk, tsk, this Demoness is really beautiful’ he thought to himself as he looks at Zhou Qingxuan face.
This is another thing he knows about the Demoness. This Demoness is a great beauty and is known all over Chang’an
There was a general of Wang Jian army that saw her face. The moment he saw her face, he wanted to take her as his concubine.
He sent a small squad to capture her. At that time, she is not yet a great demoness. She is more like a little Demoness, a rising young generation of the heterodox faction
When she was attacked by the general soldiers, she went to Chengdu and cut that general “treasure” and since then nobody dare spoke insulting words to her.
But it also demonstrates how beautiful she is so much so that a sane general became almost insane thinking of her day and night
Since then she always wears a silk translucent veil on the lower part of his face so that nobody could see her full face.
Li Xin had seen many beautiful women in his lifetime. He thought he would not be shocked. But, she is really beautiful
Even weak as she is leaning on that tree, and sweating she still look beautiful. She looks cold and detached and mysterious.
This is the temperament of the Demoness of the White Bone Peak. Even though she had not yet grown up to become that overlord that could wave her hand and causes the clouds to change, there is already a trace of that figure in her.
‘this kind of woman, this kind of calamitous beauty, it is really not easy ‘he thought to himself.
There is innate purity and pride to her and no wonder people wanted to possess her.
It is like playing push and pull.
Because of her beauty, her temperament and this mysteriousness that just ooze naturally from her, one did not dare to get close to her, yet they would thirst for her favor.
Her cloud-like beautiful hair lightly and softly hanging on her back, this also accentuated her fragrant shoulders and her graceful, beautiful and wonderful outline, which looked as distinct as if she was carved with a knife.
Simply her slender and elegant figure is enough to make people feel that she was an enigma; an outstandingly exotic beauty that seemed to appear out of the dust.
And Li Xin estimation is simple.
‘A dangerous beauty… like that of a rose, beautiful but full of thorns’
But Li Xin did not move forward now. He is only a few feet away from her. Around four feet. In four feet, if he unsheathes his sword and slashes it forward this generation great evildoer, the Demoness of the White Bone Peak would not exist
But, he hesitates to do it. Right now Zhou Qingxuan is as defenseless as a baby. One shot and she would be dead.
After he had made the decision to live sincerely in this world, he always strengthen his heart. He knows that if he keeps living in Jianghu, there would come a time for him to kill a person.
He had steady his heart so that when the time comes, he would not hesitate. Li Xin before he arrives here still lives in a world so different than this.
Killing is not that frowned upon. Especially in Jianghu where there is blood feud and debts of resentment.
But, even though he is ready, this is different. Zhou Qingxuan had done nothing wrong to him. What the system told him when the quest notification popped out rings in his ears.
Right and wrong…this is really hard to decide. Li Xin did not mind killing people without weapons.
To many of the orthodox sect, killing someone without weapon and defenseless is not really the act of a chivalrous hero
But, it is a different thing between killing a defenseless woman that did nothing wrong to him. Could he sleep at night knowing he kills a girl probably a girl that around her age.
And not only that. This girl also did not nothing wrong to him. There is no hatred and enmity between them, no wrong things yet he kills her.
And while the future indicates that she would become the Demoness of White Bone Peak…. right now, is she the Demoness of White Bone Peak? No, she is not.
He sighed
His hand hesitates and then he shakes his head
‘If the hand hesitates, that means the heart also hesitates. And if the heart hesitates, I should know what the right answer is. It is because it is wrong that I hesitate’ he thought to himself and then he come closer to that girl and then decided to save this girl
‘I need to bring her to my hut first’ But when he looks at that girl again and he could see that the girl is really pale and the breathing is already almost nonexistent.
Li Xin wonders how did this girl survives last time. And then his mind thought of the person attacking him in the woods and then there is a story forming in his mind
‘Could it be that the last time she was here; she was saved by that person?’ Li Xin thought to himself and then he nodded to himself
It might really be so.
The reason this change this time might be because that person found out there is him in the mountain.
The person Li Xin is thinking about is none other than the one that had attacked him. It might that in the game since he was not here at this place and at this time, the one that saved this girl might have been that person.
Of course, this is just his conjecture.
He really did not know how the Demoness survive this calamity and he could only infer from his experience in this mountain.
He was about to grab her body and put it behind his back but as he touched her he could feel cold all over.‘What!’ he exclaimed in his heartThat cold nearly enter his body but Li Xin Yang meridian block the entry and Li Xin quickly circulated his inner energy to dispel the cold that was about to invade his body.His other hand was holding Zhou Qingxuan right hand and on this area, Li Xin felt a powerful and violent Yang energy is about to ravage his meridian and this time Li Xin Yin meridian block the entry and like before Li Xin circulates his inner energy to drive the violent energy from his body.He jumps backward from Qingxuan body and then raise his palm and then thrust both of his palm to the side.The left hand shoot toward the left, the right hand shoot toward the right, the sound of a roaring dragon shakes the trees and the ground exploded.The soil flew upwards as dust fills the surrounding.The dust settles an
‘her breath is getting fainter and fainter. I should do something first’ Li Xin also knows even though this manual could help him in healing her, he could not just learn this skill here. The area is too open.It is not like the web novels he used to read. In those stories, he would just choose to learn and a second later everything is learned by him and he could use it to heal her.While that might work for some low level skill, this is a supreme inner energy technique.He doubts that he could learn this in a small amount of time.There is still the knowledge that need to be passed down to him that probably take half an hour.If it takes half an hour, it is better trying save this woman first. He bet by the first half she would be dead if he did not do anythingWhile he could not dispel the hot and cold, he bets some of the pills that he has could at least make sure that this girl would endure it for a while until he manage
Li Xin continues reading the introduction page. The introduction page is long and covers a lot. By now he is already at the third page.[At that time, Li Shimin, the future Taizong had always admired Li Jing and has always been impressed with Li Jing abilities.He admired Li Jing prowess in martial skill and appreciated Li Jing strategies in war.At the execution site, as he was about to be executed by Li Yuan, Li Jing yelled to Gaozu‘You, duke, rose in order to eliminate tyrannical rule for the people. You are not concerned about what is important, but instead are executing a brave man on account of personal enmity!’Li Yuan hearing this was very impressed by Li Jing words and Li Shimin interceded on Li Jing behalfLi Yuan under the persuasion of Li Shimin released Li Jing, and Li Shimin soon gained the loyalty of Li Jing.He serves the Tang dynasty defeating a lot of foreign enemies.At the same tim
‘Huh’ Li Xin sighed.‘You wait. When I am strong enough, I would not mind investigating who is the one that is writing this introductory page’ he mutters.He then continues reading the introductory page. It is almost reaching the end of the introduction___________________________________The Duke secluded himself and it was at this moment that many people believe that the Duke had created the Scroll of Eternal Life.The Scroll remains as one of the most coveted secret martial arts technique in Wulin, in par with the Nine Yang Divine Skill of the Righteous Temple, the Supreme Ultimate Inner Skill of the Cloud Gate and the Ten Thousand Sword Codex of the Divine Sword Mountain.Duke Jingwu of Wei in his illustrious life had pacified the Wu region to the south, cleared the desert to the north and settled the Tuyuhun to the west.And travelling and fighting up and down the Tang empire, he learned from his ene
Li Xin did not know whether to believe what he had heard about the Underworld Gate but if the stories he heard was true when he was playing the game, then the conflict between the changing of dynasty is basically the battle between the orthodox sect and the heterodox sect.Li Xin shakes his head.‘This just shows I need to explore more’ he thought to himself. He did not think that this scroll had something to do with the Underworld GateAnd who is this person writing this introduction page? Is he a person of the Underworld Gate? But, it doesn’t seem soFrom the way he writes this introduction story, it appears he is much more in line with the people of the orthodox sect.If it is a person of the orthodox sect, how did this person end up in the library of the Underworld Gate?It is clear however that this person also tries to read the secret manual and learn from it. But, it seems that this person failed to learn anything
And there is some knowledge about Eight Practices to seek longevity and to be one with Heaven and Earth.This part seems like a Daoist method and it is one part of the ScrollLi Xin thought of some of the knowledge he got about Daoist method.When he learns martial skill from the system, he not only learns the moves but he also learns the principle behind itThat is the reason why his moves are all so perfect, that there is no flaw, when he attacks, he is one with his surrounding, when his sword pointed forward, there is no hesitation, achieving the peak in an instant and when he sheathed the sword back, the world is calm and quietOne of the method that he had learned from the information that is given to him is the refining the DanAnd coincidentally, in the book the Scholar also written down the method of Refining the Dan, and it is even more advanced than what he had learned.This kind of method could be used in refining pellets a
He calms down his mind and then opens his eyes. He flips the page and smiles. The page ended.There is no introductory page anymore. Li Xin then look at the bed in his hut and he sighed‘I have delayed long enough’While it may take many people a long time to read, it did not take Li Xin much time to read all of the content of the introductory ageOnly fifteen minutes had passed since he took the manual and read it. But now, it is enough. There should be no delay anymore.He got up from the chair and went to bed.That girl is still emanating heat from her body. Sometimes, it is cold. Soemtimes, it is hot. Li Xin once again concoct a few cooling herbs and mix it with water. Then he slowly makes her drink it and then her heat subsided for a few second.Li Xin frown.If she is not found by him by the end of the day, she proiabbly would have died. The quest he got from the system is not yet completedThe easy way
Li Xin then slowly scroll down the description to see the requirements for mastering the Eternal Life Scroll and then he gasp when he looks at the requirements>>>Requirement to master the skill: Opened all of the acupoint of the twelve meridianThe twelve standard meridians, also called Principal Meridians, are divided into Yin and Yang groups.The Yin meridians of the arm are Lung, Heart, and Pericardium. The Yang meridians of the arm are Large Intestine, Small Intestine, and Triple Burner.The Yin Meridians of the leg are Spleen, Kidney, and Liver. The Yang meridians of the leg are Stomach, Bladder, and Gall Bladder.Each meridian opened would boost the ability of the practitioner.Those who seeks to master the Longevity Scroll must also open the Eight Extraordinary meridianTaiyin Lung Channel of Hand - increases one stamina [OPENED]Yangming Large Intestine Channel of Hand - widen th
This sigh is because he once felt such feeling.Even though it is now hazy, Li Xin remembers that when he active the One Sword technique, there is that feeling that everywhere his sword pointed, the surrounding area is under his control.None of the sword of the enemy could touch him and none of their attack could even reach himIn that moment, he is the sword and wherever he pointed is the area of death.Everyone is waiting for Dugu Qingfeng to make his move.Everyone is paying attention because those who came here who have deep attainment in martial arts know that a battle between masters does not take so long.When they strike, they have the confidence to win in that one strike. If this is sparring, they might trade a few swings here and there but this is a battle of life and deathIf they could end it with one strike, why not?This is the reason why battle between masters sometimes is boring.When they are evenly matched, they will exchange moves and flashy moves and fancy techniq
Dugu Qingfeng wear a blue attire, and he seems like a debonair young hero. Wu Ming is dressed in white; his face is expressionless and his eyes is cold. Looking at him, it almost appears like he is detached from the world. That everywhere he walks, he walks in a world of his own and everything beside him is isolated Everyone who looks at these two people on the city wall feel differently But there is one similarity that all of these people seem to share and that is the feeling of awe toward these two people rising from their heart. Wu Ming and Dugu Qingfeng look at each other. Even though the distance between them is ten feet away from each other, it was like they are in front of each other, only inches apart ‘Hero Li who do you think would win?’ Zhang Kuo asked. Li Xin shook his head. Zhang Kuo nodded. Qingxuan who is also proficient in the sword also could not speculate. The level is too high and she sat so low, so how could she humiliate herself trying to give an answer to
Li Xin is not surprised that some people chose today to try to attack Wu Ming and Dugu Qingfeng.However, it was so many people, it was like every corner of the city is full of people wanting to fight Wu Ming and Dugu Qingfeng.It is too coincidentalThree days ago, when Dugu Qingfeng is in the Red Building and Wu Ming in the White pagoda, no one come and challenges them.They could always just shout their challenge and knowing Dugu Qingfeng, he might accept.And if anyone could walk through the Immortal Forest and pass through the Village of the Defeated, they could always try to challenge Wu Ming if they are really determined to do sobut they waited for today and like clockwork, all single challengers come fighting them today, those who have feuds, blood debt and even assassins of all kinds, all appeared in droves like a swarmLi Xin is confident that there is someone behind the scene that is directing these peoplethe kind of people that could mobilize this many people and have th
Li Xin is surrounded by beautiful fairy. This is the thought of every man looking at him walking around with two beauties alongside him.Some people even envy Zhang Kuo who is talking and laughing with Li Xin. They never though a proud sons of the List could be so easygoingThe proud sons and daughter of the List referred to those people on the top ten of the Tianji Pavilion List.Most of these proud sons and daughters of the list usually would become a large figure in the future if they were allowed to grow. Many of those in the list before has turned into legends and figures of aweThe last time such list shows itself those in the list that survives now become ancestors of a great clan, a grandmaster, or even the head sect of powerful schools.Of course, there are also people who in the list who became legend and goes into seclusion.Hence why many of those people in the list is usually unapproachable and have their own arrogance.And not many people dare approach such high and nobl
It brushed past them and the moment it brushed them; they feel like their entire body is frozen. Their thoughts and their move were all frozenIt was like time itself is frozen. They look around in this frozen like state and sees that even the wind seems to have stopped, the dust seems to have halted in midair instead of rising upThen they feel warmth.But the more they feel this warmth, the more terrified they became.Because they feel this warmth from their neck. And then this warmth is slowly flowing out, and then drips down from their neckAnd as this warmth drips out, a different kind of coldness seems to seize them heart and soulIt took them a few second before they understand.Their throat was cut. But how? These are the question in their mind before they fall down to the ground, face forward, blood flowing out from a cut on their neck.Then their head slide down from their neck. Dugu Qingfeng cut them so cleanly like it uses a sharp knife to cut a part of a tofu.The blood s
The saber seems to be so fast it cut the wind but Dugu Qingfeng only sidestep to the side, and the saber misses it target.In that moment, Dugu Qingfeng simply smiles and flick his finger, a powerful energy was flicked off from the tip of his finger and the saber changes its trajectory.That person feels the grip of the saber loosen. And in that brief moment, Dugu Qingfeng made a grabbing motion with his hand.‘No!’Before the man could utter these words, the saber on his hand was grabbed by Dugu Qingfeng.The man somersaulted backward, trying to put a distance between him and Dugu QingfengBut how could Dugu Qingfeng let him go just like that?He dashes forward and make a slashing motion.Swish!The sound of shirts tearing, a scream echoes and the people watching all widened their eyes.That person with the saber attack in a hurry, charging like a rushing bull yet retreated even faster than expected.<
But Wu Ming is about to walk again.And Yang Xuan could not let him go.He jumps to the air coming out from the bushes and appears in front of Wu MingWu Ming lazily looked at him.But he did not move his sword‘Wu Ming, didn’t you see what you have done?’People may call him the Sword God and Uncrowned King of Sword but in front of Yang Xuan he is still a juniorEven though he is not as strong as Wu Ming, it is a fact that Wu Ming is his junior so he could speak like this.Wu Ming look around. Even though some people hide behind bushes now that their mind and heart is disturbed, their location could easily be seen.He sighed.He did not say it with his words but one could tell he looks at these people with disdain.But who really knows what he is thinking?But some people believe that his eyes seem to be conveying, if you are not powerful, they why do you dare watch it?But
The great school disciple come simply because they wanted to see the famous Wu Ming.Most of them is the disciples, the senior brother of the generation of their school and they come here just to watch the demeanor and to watch the battle between Wu Ming and Dugu Qingfeng.But while some people are waiting near the entrance gate to watch the battle, they wanted to see Wu Ming journey to the gate.The disciple of the great schools knows more thing than the common people.They seem to know that there will be people that could not stand the itch and tries to fight Wu Ming todayEven though there is portrait of him circulating all over Wulin, it is not the same as seeing him directly.And it is not the same as watching him uses the sword in person than just by listening to the story of storytellers.As for the sword sect, Wu Ming might not call himself a swordsman but everyone knows his sword is sublime and ethereal.For someone wh
The sword pointed to the ground, the blood dripping down from the tip hitting the ground.All those people being stabbed by him all falls to the ground, twitched a few times, coughed up some blood or look at him with hatred and not before long, there is no breathWhether they look him with hatred or not, in the end, their body could not withstand the sword energy ravaging all over their body and they all die one after anotherThe wind blows and there is only silence.Wu Ming stop moving, he halts his step and the wind blows his white robe, the blood dripping from the edges of the sword to the tip of the swordThis is Wu Ming.He kills people with style and elegance.One could even say he kills people so beautiful that it would not be a bad death to die under his sword‘What a Sword God!’ some people thought of this when they see this battle. It doesn’t feel like he is killing people at all.It was more
