Martial Arts Domination: Start with the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique-Chapter 71 - Why is this child so terrifying!

“But like this, the acts of Young Master Gao will probably no longer be concealable.”

From within the study, the voice responded, “Hmph!

That scourge is dark of thought and acts with arrogant pride, it’s about time he suffered a setback!”

After a moment’s silence, the voice spoke again, “Send Su Wu and Xu Mu over, warn those underlings of Qin Lihu not to meddle in affairs that don’t concern them!”

Once finished, the sound of studying scriptures resumed.

“Understood!”

Outside, the shadow answered, then merged back into the night.

…

Bang!

Qin Zheng released his hands and Xu Weisan and Steward Liu fell to the ground in response.

Then he shrugged his shoulders, clutching the Ghost Head Greatsword into his grip.

In front of him, a thick fog was rapidly gathering in an irregular shape, solidifying into a silhouette.

“You actually managed to detect me?”

From within the fog, a voice tinged with surprise emerged.

Immediately after, a figure that Qin Zheng loathed to not be able to kill on the spot slowly walked out of the fog.

The person was none other than Gao Wusheng!

But at this moment, Gao Wusheng’s appearance was somewhat eerie.

Holding a chain whip in both hands, clad in a set of blood-red soft armor, his entire being emitted a chilly aura, not at all as frail as before.

“It appears I’ve underestimated you, to have grown to this extent right under my watch.”

“However, it ends here.

Now, if you meekly swallow this Great Rejuvenation Pill of mine, I can spare your life,” Gao Wusheng arrogantly taunted while looking at Qin Zheng with a sneer.

Qin Zheng’s gaze grew even colder, his right hand tightly gripping the Ghost Head Greatsword as strength surged within him like rivers and seas raging through his body.

Bang!!

The ground suddenly exploded.

Qin Zheng’s figure shot out like an arrow, instantaneous!

Ghost Head Greatsword!!

The moment he saw his adversary, the fury in his heart instantly found an outlet.

The overpowering strength roared within him, as if it could tear apart all in its path!

He had no patience for further words with his foe; it was already merciful of him to allow Gao Wusheng to utter a couple of lies!

Bang!!

Sword light blazed, resembling a crescent moon.

Qin Zheng did not hold back with this strike, with the power of ten thousand pounds converged, even the air was cleaved!

Upon seeing Qin Zheng’s formidable aura, Xu Weisan and Steward Liu, whom he had carelessly thrown onto the ground, immediately widened their eyes in horror.

The power of this strike was beyond their comprehension; they could not fathom who could withstand it!

Under the might of Qin Zheng’s greatsword, Gao Wusheng’s pupils slightly constricted, as if he had not anticipated Qin Zheng’s strength to such intensity!

Yet, his expression was more one of surprise, with no sign of panic.

In the instant that Qin Zheng’s greatsword fell, Gao Wusheng’s body abruptly became translucent, immediately dissolving into fog.

Boom!!!

With a great cleave, a crack over ten meters long appeared in the ground.

A fierce wind swept through, causing the surrounding branches to thrash violently.

Qin Zheng’s eyes narrowed, a flicker of shock in his gaze, followed by a sense of heaviness.

The technique Gao Wusheng cultivated was one of dark souls.

What appeared here seemed indeed to be his sinister soul!

His physical body was very likely still in the government office of Black Goose City!

Qin Zheng suddenly looked up, his qi and blood surging tumultuously at this moment.

Amidst such circumstances, waves of heat spread from his body.

Across him, Gao Wusheng reformed.

Upon seeing Qin Zheng thus, he spoke disdainfully, “To reach the realm where I can separate my dark soul from my body, I have long since no fear of a martial artist’s blood qi!”

Then with a cruel smile, he continued, “No matter how strong you are, if you can’t hit me, it’s all in vain!”

“And I, can directly attack your fragile soul!”

With those words, he violently swung his chain whip, lashing fiercely at Qin Zheng!

Bang!

The anticipated scene, where the chain passed through the flesh to lash directly at Qin Zheng’s inner soul, did not occur!

Instead, Qin Zheng was seen tightly gripping the chain with his left hand, his gaze piercingly cold as he looked towards him.

“How is this possible?!”

For the first time, Gao Wusheng’s face drastically changed!

The dark soul pathway he cultivated was several times more difficult to master than the fleshly martial arts.

But correspondingly, once mastered, the effects were exceptionally bizarre!

For example, his attacks directly impacted the opponent’s soul rather than their physical body.

Under such circumstances, any martial artist opposing him could not fend off his chain whip lashes!

Since it was condensed from soul power, it wasn’t a tangible weapon!

Unless one had specifically trained in techniques to protect their soul,

they would be like a defenseless puppet before him, subject to his lashes!

Even if a martial artist summoned their qi to envelop their entire body, at most they could only weaken the power, but not block it.

Let alone, like what Qin Zheng was currently doing, directly grabbing his chain whip with his hand!

“How did you do this?

Who exactly are you?!”

Gao Wusheng’s face revealed panic, as he shouted loudly at Qin Zheng.

Qin Zheng didn’t answer him.

He simply pulled forcefully, and Gao Wusheng’s figure uncontrollably flew towards him.

The weight of the soul was lighter than he had imagined!

Afterward, his right hand swung the Ghost Head Greatsword.

This time, Qin Zheng didn’t use the enormous strength of tens of thousands of jin.

It was merely a light wave, as ordinary as any cut could be.

However, the terror in Gao Wusheng’s eyes became even more intense at this moment!

This cut could strike him, even kill him!!

He begged loudly, “I am a descendant of the Quanyang Gao Family!

I am the son of the current Governor of Qingzhou, spare me and I’ll grant you a lifetime of glory and wealth!”

Yet, his words had not the slightest effect.

Qin Zheng’s eyes were icy as he slashed across Gao Wusheng’s soul in an instant.

Whoosh!

Sizzle!!

Like a heated iron passing over ice and snow, it made a sizzling sound.

Immediately afterward.

Ahhhh!!!!

Gao Wusheng suddenly let out a miserable howl.

Under a single cut, his soul was cleaved into two halves!

Even in such a state, Gao Wusheng showed no signs of dissipating.

Qin Zheng’s eyes narrowed, and he was about to wield his sword for another slash.

Hum!!

At that moment, a fierce white light suddenly burst forth from within Gao Wusheng’s soul.

The two halves of his sliced soul instantly merged back together.

Then, wrapped in the white light, it transformed into a stream of light, breaking free from Qin Zheng’s restraint and swiftly streaking towards Black Goose City.

Qin Zheng quickly picked up a great bow, drew an arrow, and pulled the bowstring back to full moon.

Then…

Boom!!

A stream of light was first shot out.

Then a thunderous explosion echoed in all directions.

The stream of light transformed from the arrow caught up from behind and fiercely penetrated through the white light.

Ahhh!!!

Gao Wusheng’s agonized screams rang out once again.

The white light instantly dimmed significantly, but it still did not disperse and continued to fly back toward Black Goose City, disappearing into the horizon.

At the original spot, Qin Zheng’s eyes slightly squinted, and his complexion turned a bit pale.

In that instant, he had mobilized not only his blood and energy but also the spiritual power from between his eyebrows.

Covering his hands with spiritual power, he indeed seized the chains and long whip that Gao Wusheng had condensed from his soul power.

Subsequently, by covering the greatsword with spiritual power, he also managed to slice Gao Wusheng in half.

Common martial arts could not deal with souls, but spiritual power could!

Even the final arrow had a strand of spiritual power attached by Qin Zheng, which also struck true.

Therefore, the so-called soul cultivation method, as long as one finds the corresponding approach, is merely a paper tiger, equally vulnerable to damage!

It’s just that this method does not fully leverage the advantages of Qin Zheng’s martial arts.

After all, his current combat strength mostly stems from the overwhelming power brought by the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique, with several other Complete Martial Arts extending from it.

Furthermore, attaching spiritual power also consumes Qin Zheng’s own spiritual force while inflicting damage on Gao Wusheng.

Fortunately, with the enhancement from the Secret Awareness Spirit Book, his spiritual power had greatly increased, both in quantity and quality.

At the very least, slaying someone like Gao Wusheng was not a problem!

With this in mind, Qin Zheng retracted his bow and withdrew his sword, taking a step forward and using Qinggong to swiftly head towards Black Goose City.

Gao Wusheng had suffered successive blows, and his soul was likely extremely frail, needing to absorb a large number of Living Souls for repair.

If he were to be late, many more innocent people would become victims!

As for Xu Weisan and Steward Liu.

One had been hit by his Black Evil Palm, which, without being undone by himself, could only await death.

The other was already of an advanced age, and after several ordeals that night, his life was probably half gone, not much time left to live.

At this moment, Qin Zheng had no time to be distracted by these two.

…

Meanwhile, within Black Goose City.

An extremely weak white light streaked across the void, finally descending into a quiet room within the government office.

Inside this quiet room, a fat man, dressed in brocade and luxurious clothes, was sitting cross-legged.

The white light instantly merged into the fat man’s body.

Thump!!!

In an instant, Gao Wusheng violently spat out a large mouthful of fresh blood.

His complexion was pale, his veins bulging!

He clutched his head, screaming loudly in pain.

Qin Zheng’s successive sword strike and arrow had caused him extremely serious injuries.

If not for the protection of a treasure, he probably wouldn’t have made it back!

Even now that he had returned, he suffered from splitting headaches, feeling as if his head was being churned and torn apart.

But he had no time to struggle in the quiet room any longer and immediately forced himself to stand up and leave the room.

Qin Zheng definitely would not let him go; he was likely already speeding towards Black Goose City!

As his soul had been greatly damaged, he needed to quickly consume Living Souls to replenish himself, otherwise, he would truly be powerless to resist!

Thinking this, his face darkened immensely.

In his investigation, this Qin Zheng was but an ordinary Executioner, with no remarkable background.

How could he possess such terrifying martial arts talent!!

In such a short time, he had become so formidable in martial force!!

While he thought, he headed towards the room next door.

“Lord Gao?

Right now?”

Inside the room, a woman of reasonable appearance, woken from her slumber, sleepily looked at Gao Wusheng and asked.

She was one of his wives and consorts.

Gao Wusheng didn’t respond; he extended his hand and placed it on the woman’s forehead.
