Longevity Begins with the Seven Injuries Fist-Chapter 198 - 135: The Elder on the Mountain, Training Under the Moon
Unlike the Insect Control Man who blew on a leaf.
The elder controlled insects with a humming sound from his nose.
The young woman, on the other hand, pursed her cherry lips and whistled crisply.
The Gu insects they released gathered densely in one place, like a curtain, enveloping Su Que.
All these Gu insects were extremely poisonous. If an average martial artist were to be covered by them, their skin would rot, and they would die from the poison.
Suddenly, a blood-red light flashed across the Chaotic Burial Mound.
Su Que released the Exotic Golden Bell Shield once more.
With a slight movement of his foot, his figure suddenly swayed sideways.
He streaked a blood-red light as he charged toward the elder and the young woman.
Along the way, his Exotic Golden Bell Shield crashed into the swarming insects rushing toward him.
Instantly, the swarm scattered like beans, dispersing in all directions.
The elder and the young woman had intended to control the insects while using their Poison Palms to attack Su Que from both sides.
Yet, who would have thought that this mysterious figure wearing a Rakshasa Mask had such strong defense and fast movements!
Before they could split to the left and right, the blood-red golden light blazed in front of their eyes!
In an instant, Su Que stood before them.
In their hearts, the elder and the young woman shivered with fear, channeling True Qi, and the black poison on their palms intensified as they struck toward Su Que!
But in the next moment, their palms hadn't fully extended.
A white light suddenly flashed before them.
It was Su Que using the Nine Yin Corpse Claw, rising a chilling white aura around him.
He leaped diagonally, and at the peak of his jump, executed a Thousand-Pound Weight, tracing a swift arc in the air.
His talons, like an eagle catching a rabbit, ferociously clawed down on the heads of the two!
Hiss!
His ten fingers pierced into their skulls as if diving into tofu.
Their faces turned pale, and a layer of white frost enveloped their skin.
Their eyes widened, pupils expanded.
Their hands, once poised for attack, feebly dropped down.
The black poisonous mist coiled on their palms instantly dissipated, whisked away by the wind.
Then, Su Que fiercely lifted!
With a whoosh, blood splashed forth!
Their heads, along with their spinal cords, were drawn out of their bodies like swords from their sheaths.
Su Que channeled the Cultivation Technique within the Nine Yin Corpse Claw, opening the pores in his hands.
In an instant, eerie white qi lifted from the bodies of the elder and the young woman, converging toward Su Que's hands.
That sensation, like sweet nectar entering the body, once again filled Su Que's entire being.

Progress in cultivation steadily advanced.
Before long, the bodies of the elder and the young woman had dried up, their blood and flesh withered.
Su Que loosened his grip, and their heads along with their spinal cords fell from his talons, crashing onto the dark soil.
Su Que, shaking his head, squatted down.
Clearly, the elder and the young woman could've taken the body of the Insect Control Man back for burial.
And these people held not low positions in the martial realm, likely esteemed figures among their kind. The Insect Control Man would surely receive a proper burial.
Yet, they forced his hand, choosing to die here in the Chaotic Burial Mound alongside the Insect Control Man.
Su Que first rummaged through the elder's bag and clothing for a while.
The elder's bag contained two bamboo tubes and a small wooden tripod.
Su Que opened one of the bamboo tubes and immediately saw a mass of poisonous insects swarm to the mouth of the bottle.
His reaction was swift, sealing the lid before the insects could escape, forcing them back in.
Then, he picked up the other bamboo tube, shook it, and listened to the sounds inside, feeling its contents.
He realized it too contained poisonous insects.
'Perhaps these insects are Miaojiang Gu Insects, but they are of no use to me…' thought Su Que:
'I'll keep them for now, and show them to Elder Qingxuan later; perhaps he could use them.'
Su Que took the elder's bag from his dried-up arms, then stuffed the two bamboo tubes back in.
As for the small wooden tripod, Su Que took it and examined it closely.
'It seems to be used for insect breeding, or perhaps alchemy.' Su Que speculated.
After another look, he stored it in his bag.
Then, he searched through the young woman's attire.
He found two pieces of Golden Leaf and a Jade Pendant. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
Su Que tucked them into his own clothes and set the bag aside, while continuing to channel the Nine Yin Corpse Claw, absorbing the Death Qi in the Chaotic Burial Mound.

As time passed, progress in cultivating the Nine Yin Corpse Claw rose once again.
...
About a month passed, and by now it was midsummer, the weather still scorching.
At night, Su Que stood amidst the mountains and forests, surrounded by the sound of cicadas chirping from all directions.
His hair hung loose, waving with the wind.
Dressed in martial attire, his robust physique and aesthetically pleasing muscles stood out.
He clenched his hands into talons, continuously striking in the air, practicing the Nine Yin Corpse Claw.
Claw shadows burst forth around him, and where the claw force struck, a bone-chilling white aura erupted continuously.
Trees slightly closer in proximity were covered in a layer of gray-black frost under the impact of the claw force.

In this past month, through dedicated practice, he had advanced the Nine Yin Corpse Claw by an entire realm.
