Longevity Begins with the Seven Injuries Fist-Chapter 248 - 159: Fiery Sun Centipede! Fist Shatters Skull!
However, faced with a life-or-death crisis at this moment, he couldn’t afford to think about much else!
His skin began to turn red, and his pores erupted with blood-colored steam.
At his waist, there were two short blades as sharp as cutting through mud. He planned to draw them out to fight the masked man behind him!
Just as he utilized his suddenly explosive power, flipping rapidly while reaching with both hands to his waist to retrieve the short blades.
Bang! 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
Su Que threw another punch down.
Smashing his head into the ground.
Yet, the potential of his body kept surging at this moment, continuously generating power to block Su Que’s Fist Force.
Bam bam bam bam...!
Su Que fully unleashed the Seven Injuries Fist, striking from both sides, creating a flurry of fist shadows.
In just an instant, over thirty punches landed on the Altar Man’s head.
The continuous and violent punching caused a warm sensation to arise in Su Que’s Five Viscera.
This was due to the reverse side effect of the Seven Injuries Fist, nourishing Su Que’s Five Viscera during the punches.
The "Fiery Sun Centipede" is one of the top-ranking Gu Insects in Miaojiang.
The potential it unleashes in a person’s body is extraordinary.
Just one strike of the Seven Injuries Fist might not be able to break through the Protective Force unleashed by the "Fiery Sun Centipede."
However, more than thirty continuous punches accumulating power can shatter the Protective Force of the Altar Man!
Once the Seven Injuries Fist Force broke through the Protective Force, it ravaged inside the Altar Man’s skull.
Suddenly, the Altar Man’s head shook, and from his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose, red and white fluids spurted out.
Su Que raised his right fist and smashed down again!
Bang!
Fist Gang erupted!
The Altar Man’s head exploded like a watermelon.
Red and white substances splattered onto the ground, mingling with the earth, shooting out in all directions.
Su Que stood up, intending to use the Heart Method of the Nine Yin Corpse Claw to absorb this person’s Death Qi.
Suddenly, he noticed the corpse of the person shriveling up rapidly.
Then, from the bloody neck of this person, three streams of blood shot out.
Three centipedes as thick as a thumb, with a fiery red exoskeleton, crawled out from the bloody flesh of the person’s neck.
’Poisonous Centipedes?’ Su Que didn’t know much about Gu Insects, but seeing the vivid color and menacing mouthparts of these three centipedes, he felt certain they contained deadly poison.
So, he temporarily ignored the Altar Man’s corpse and exerted the Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons with all his might.
Instantly, a suction force emerged from his seven orifices and pores.
The surrounding poisonous grass and insects emitted strands of poisonous gas, converging toward him.
The three centipedes’ moving hundred legs suddenly slowed down, and flames of poisonous gas floated out from them.
Su Que understood that this was a mixture of Fire Poison and Blood Poison, and by combining it with the poisons from several poisonous plants and flowers in this Poison Field, it could be transformed into Myriad Poison True Qi.
As Su Que inhaled and exhaled, the poisonous gas rose from all around like mist, then surged toward him like seawater flowing into a cave.
When the poisonous gas entered his meridians, he focused his mind and turned it into Myriad Poison True Qi.
Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons (Peak of the 8th Realm 4%)
Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons (Peak of the 8th Realm 5%)
The Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons was gradually improving.
As Su Que absorbed the poisonous gas, converting it into Myriad Poison True Qi, he also kept vigil over his surroundings, in case new enemies approached stealthily.
After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Su Que absorbed all the poison from the Poison Field as well as the poisons from the three centipedes.
The poison grass and flowers on the Poison Field withered.
The three centipedes also lay limply on the ground, unmoving.
When he absorbed the poisons from these insects, he did not kill them.
With time, these insects’ bodies could accumulate poisons again.
Therefore, looking at these three centipedes, he thought of raising them.
Once the time is right, he could absorb the poisons from these three centipedes again.
So, he walked over to Tong Fu.
Tong Fu had a chubby face with a pair of mustaches, covered in dirt and sweat.
He initially thought that with the help of the Altar Man, he could be saved.
But unexpectedly, the Altar Man didn’t have the chance to fully display his Gu Skill and Witchcraft before being skull-crushed by this masked man.
Su Que asked, "How should I take care of those three centipedes?"
Tong Fu looked at the three centipedes: "That person just now came out from the Holy Altar; these three centipedes must be Gu insects only refined by people from the Holy Altar."
"I don’t even know what kind of Gu insects these three centipedes are, nor how to care for them?"
Su Que asked, "Then how do you raise your most formidable Gu insect?"
Tong Fu replied, "My most formidable Gu insect, if raised outside the body, must be fed with various poisonous grasses and flowers, and every once in a while, be given other Gu insects to eat."
"Different Gu insects require different poisonous grasses, flowers, and other Gu insects for feeding."
"These three centipedes, I do not know what Gu they are, thus I do not know what poison to feed them."
"If Gu insects are raised inside the body, the host’s physique must be strong enough and often fed with True Qi and Qi blood."
"And the host must also consume certain poisonous grasses, flowers, and some elixirs over a long period."
After listening, Su Que realized these three centipedes were simply unmanageable.
If raised inside the body, he knew not what to feed the three centipedes.
If raised inside, he would also need to find a strong enough host and look for poisons and medicines for the host to consume, which was far too troublesome.
So, Su Que gathered True Qi and stepped down hard.
The vast area covered by the vigorous True Qi made the ground sink instantly.
The three centipedes, under the pressure of the True Qi, were instantly turned into mush.
Su Que’s right hand curled his fingers into a claw, aimed at the three stains of mush on the ground, and exercised the Nine Yin Corpse Claw cultivation technique.
Pale pure Death Qi floated out from the three stains of meat mush and converged into his right claw.
Afterward, he walked over to the withered corpse of the Altar Man, aimed his right claw at the corpse, and used the Nine Yin Corpse Claw technique.
But not a trace of Death Qi was obtained.
Su Que then retracted the Nine Yin Corpse Claw technique.
He figured that the three centipedes must have absorbed all of this Altar Man’s flesh and Essence Qi.
Death Qi is the transition from "life" to "death".
The corpse of this man had no flesh or Essence Qi, completely dried up, utterly devoid of life, hence no trace of Death Qi remained.
The Death Qi he absorbed from the three centipedes likely contained the Altar Man’s Death Qi, making it so pure.
Su Que released Myriad Poison True Qi, covering the body of the Altar Man.
In just an instant, he retracted the Myriad Poison True Qi again.
Nothing remained on the original spot of the Altar Man.
After the Myriad Poison True Qi reached the Peak of the 8th Realm, its corrosiveness was greater than before.
Beside him, Tong Fu couldn’t help but swallow nervously.
He thought, in all his years in Miaojiang, he’d never seen such intense poison.
Perhaps only those old fellows living in seclusion within the Holy Altar could concoct more severe poisons than this.
Afterward, Su Que lifted Tong Fu by the collar, got guided by him to various Poison Fields and Poisonous Forests.
The larger Poison Fields and Poisonous Forests were already drained of poison by him.
The ones they went to next were all smaller.
He quickly absorbed all the poisons from these Poison Fields and Poisonous Forests.
Moreover, he memorized the locations of these Poison Fields and Poisonous Forests.
If he ever needed to return, he wouldn’t require a guide anymore.
As for the forbidden area of the Holy Altar, he decided not to venture there for now, as it housed experts whose strength was equal to his.
Having nearly five hundred years of lifespan left, there was no rush; once his strength increased significantly, he could return here.
Besides, he had just killed the Altar Man.
The Altar Man’s prolonged absence from the Holy Altar would surely arouse suspicion among its people.
The Holy Altar would surely dispatch more formidable Gu Masters to search for him.
Having no desire to kill anyone else, he utilized Lightweight Skill and swiftly left Miaojiang.
When stepping out of the hundred-thousand mountains of Miaojiang, he still had Tong Fu in hand.
Now, Tong Fu was of no use to him.
He considered nurturing an acquaintance adept in Gu Skill.
However, Tong Fu’s act of leading Gu Masters to kill innocent citizens and refine Corpse Gu truly disgusted him.
So, with Tong Fu’s shocked gaze, he plunged his claw into Tong Fu’s fat head.
Utilizing the Nine Yin Corpse Claw technique, a sinister white chill emanated from Tong Fu’s head, converging into his right claw.
Before long, Tong Fu’s body was shriveled.
He then released deep purple Myriad Poison True Qi, drowning Tong Fu’s corpse within moments.
Almost immediately, he withdrew the Myriad Poison True Qi again.
Tong Fu’s body vanished without a trace, not even a corner of clothing was left behind.
