Martial Research Master-Chapter 324
324 I WILL SHOW YOU MERCY
Li Meng rushed towards quite a distance away from the spot they were present in and found a secluded location where he dropped Huang’s body. He then proceeded to give out wood element energy into Huang’s body and heal it up. The amount of Qi expenditure was quite huge, and just when his internals had gone through the first round of healing, Li Meng decided to stop.
He then took out another wooden box similar to what he had given to Li Xuanfa. He proceeded to take the pills out and inject them into Huang’s mouth, while simultaneously operating his energy to create chains around him. He even used a sealing artifact to contain Huang, as he was quite exhausted from the last fight. He didn’t want to take any chances.
Huang’s wound rapidly healed and his internals had been fortified by medical energy. His outer injuries were healing at a good pace when he opened his eyes up to find himself lying in a cave all chained up. He decided to move his hands and free himself up but to no avail.
“You should give up on resisting. Those chains have completely sealed your Qi. Unless your body cultivation is higher than mine, I hope you will not resist.” Huang calmed down.
“I hope you remember our bet. Now I would like to get the art before accepting you as my slave.”
“I would rather die than become your slave, much less give you art which is more precious than my own life.
“Nothing is more precious than your life, since they lose their value to you once you die. I have other ways to get my hands on the art, but I would rather have you hand it to me personally.” Li Meng insisted.
“I said no.” Huang stood his ground.
“I guess we will have to use soul search and extraction. I have you warn you though that the process would not only be painful but has a huge chance of damaging your soul permanently which is virtually impossible to heal. It would lead to limit your future martial path and you may not even be able to reach the next stage.”
.....
“So will you hand it to me, or I shall take it myself.” Huang was petrified out of nervousness. He had heard Li Xuanaf talking with Huang about this sinister technique. He knew the possible side-effects of the art. Yet he didn’t want to give up his Spear of Blood Devil.
“I guess you chose not to give it up.” Li Meng proceeded to hold Huang’s head and ingest his soul’s energy. He soon entered his soul space, just to find a similar talisman as in Li Xuanfa’s case.
“His soul has been protected by someone else too. How can it be possible? Why do they have these?” Li Meng was frustrated. He wanted to snatch the art for himself, but was restricted by the talisman. He didn’t know the actual power of the one who created it as his soul power might be higher than Li Meng’s.
“The force they belong to must have imbued these into their brains to prevent them from spilling out the core secrets to the enemy. It is a common practice among the top sects. You might be able to overcome the power if you reach the next realm of soul cultivation, namely Soul saint level.”
“But that is a very difficult realm to achieve. Even Martial Dominators are not sure to be able to achieve that realm. Only intermediate Martial Dominators and above have a chance to reach it normally. I expect you to reach that level by the time you become a peak Qi Emperor.”
Li meng calmed down and thought about his next steps. He then came up with a proper idea. He looked towards Huang visibly in pain, and said.
Your will is quite powerful to be able to resist my soul’s strength. How about we make a deal. I can’t risk wasting my energy on your soul when I have other missions to carry out in the Misty-Ridge. How about we make a deal? Since you are giving me art, I will do the same to you.”
“Which art could compare to my Spear of Blood Devil?”
“I told you before that your art is a sequel to mine, which means my art is the one you need to practice to create a perfect base for advanced skills. Your control over the art is not even at the beginner level. The only reason you even won is because of the grade of the art.”
“How about I give you the art of Blood Drain and Berserker? They would help you to understand the art properly and boost your strength by at least twice its current level. Think about the power you could unleash if you use Rakta Transformation and my berserker art at the same time.”
Huang was spellbound. He did imagine the possible power, and he knew that the outcome would be far more powerful than Li Meng’s estimation as neither of them has ever tried the combination. But he remained skeptical of whether or not he should give it to Li Meng.
“I will give you the Spear of Blood Devil if you give me the art for the Blood spear in addition to the two arts.” Li Meng’s expression changed. Huang was demanding his weapon tempering art. Li Meng wanted to kick Huang when the Keeper interrupted him.
“Accept the deal. He will never be able to even reach a quarter of your power since he doesn’t possess the Blood tempering art or the body cultivation art. The most he could pen with Weapon Tempering art is ten acupoints.”
Li Meng began to consider the situation and ultimately agreed with the Keeper. He was gaining much more than he was spending since he knew that the whole art of Blood Devil contained much more than the two arts.
“I accept.” Huang was surprised to see LI meng accepting his offer. He thought that LI meng would retaliate, but his offer was accepted.
“Before proceeding with the transaction, how about we both make a soul vow that we will be giving the full details and contents of the art we are about to exchange.” Huang hesitated for a bit, but then recalled that he didn’t know much details about Li Meng’s art either. He might be scammed by him too.
He then accepted the proposal and both proceeded to make the vow. After which the contents were exchanged. After the transaction was complete, Li Meng proceeded to the next problem.
“What about the promise to become my slave?” Li Meng asked.
‘ I can’t comply with that request.” Huang was straightforward. Li Meng felt helpless. He wanted to kill Huang, but he knew that the talisman would safely secure his soul and he would be on the radar of the Emerald Amethyst Hall.
“I will show you mercy this one time. Make another soul contract to ever disclose any details or related items to the events which happened in the last few days or me to anyone or anything.” Huang decided that it was a fair transaction as his mind was hell-bent on revenge too. But he wanted to get that in his own hands.
“Let’s hope we meet again.” Li Meng kicked Huang’s gut with a powerful kick which made him lose consciousness. He then left the cave, leaving an injured Huang with the rest of the medical pills in the box.
