Chapter 14: Chapter 14: The Seven Injuries Fist Chapter 14: Chapter 14: The Seven Injuries Fist Editor: Atlas Studios Yu Soul Killing Technique!
This martial art is a unique skill solely possessed by the Yu Family.
However, initially, it was not called the Yu Soul Killing Technique, but the Jade Shattering Killing Technique!
Taking the idea that one would rather have the jade shatter than the tile remain whole.
It’s just that the ancestors of the Yu Family felt that the Jade Shattering Killing Technique was rather ominous, hence they substituted ‘break’ for ‘shatter’, and eventually, the character for ‘break’ was dropped for ‘soul’.
Nevertheless, no matter how it changed, the strongest move of this martial art remains that opting for jade to shatter rather than the tile remain whole: Jade and Stone Burning Together!
When this move is executed, inner strength is transformed into flames, using one’s body as the kindle, suddenly igniting to unleash a force several times more powerful than oneself, and elevating the ‘killing intent’ within the Yu Soul Killing Technique to its utmost limit.
The power that can erupt in a moment is something no one wants to confront head-on.
In ancient times, the Yu Family could crumble amidst the siege of these black-clothed men, mainly because they had stealthily poisoned the family’s drinking water first.
Thus, the Yu Family was never able to unleash all their martial arts, nor could they choose Jade and Stone Burning Together to perish together with their enemies.
This led to a tragic end where the entire household was annihilated.
The black-clothed man atop the tree had never imagined that Yu Lingxin, despite her young age, was already capable of executing Jade and Stone Burning Together.
Even less did he expect that she, a girl in her twenties, would act with such definitive desperation!
Should Yu Lingxin truly deploy Jade and Stone Burning Together, the events of tonight would indeed become unresolvable.
And the reason, in this moment, he did not stop Yu Lingxin but instead used Su Mo as a hostage.
That was his brilliance.
This man, experienced in Jianghu, possesses insight far beyond those of ordinary people.
Yu Lingxin is indeed resolute, but her actions tonight, whether intentionally or unintentionally, kept some distance from Su Mo.
These two were originally very close, but after taking action, Yu Lingxin moved her opponent and Su Mo apart, clearly intending not to drag Su Mo into this chaotic affair.
This is also why, initially, this black-clothed man atop the tree thought Su Mo was Yu Lingxin’s backup plan.
But when Yu Lingxin threw out the Brocade Box, activating the Impermanence Rain Needle within, even risking her life to use Jade and Stone Burning Together directly, he understood… Yu Lingxin simply didn’t want to involve the innocent!
Thus, the method to break this situation naturally fell on Su Mo’s shoulders.
… You don’t want to involve the innocent, then just involve the innocent. If you don’t want this young man to die because of you, then you should just surrender obediently!
In this instant, the black-clothed man made a decision, jumped up in the air, and in mid-air, he was already before Su Mo.
This man’s blade technique was decisive, arriving through the air, but it wasn’t with the intent to kill.
Using Su Mo as a hostage, what would be the point if he were killed?
Thus, he wanted to capture Su Mo, forcing Yu Lingxin to be hesitant!
At that very moment, Yu Lingxin indeed hesitated, while the black-clothed man let out a light breath.
But he failed to notice, Su Mo’s fist was already raised…
“Five Elements Qi harmonize Yin and Yang, hurting the heart, lungs, and liver intensify, organs disperse essence lost mind bewildered, triple energizers extinguished soul ascends!”
These are the principles of a Fist Technique flowing within his heart!
Su Mo’s system was still calculating very slowly.
Waiting for ‘Wang Xianglin’ to make a move, it wasn’t until nightfall that the calculation was completed.
After this calculation was completed, however, it also made Su Mo realize something.
His system, in fact, was quite unreasonable.
Escorting Li Yishu was supposed to be simple.
There were no conspiracies or tricks halfway, between Luoxia City and Jinyang City, if taking the main road there wasn’t even a mountain bandit or robber.
It could be said it was a journey without any challenges or obstacles, and they simply arrived at the destination.
Such an escort mission without any difficulties or obstacles still shockingly achieved the Great Perfection of the Longxiang Wisdom.
This trip has not only been through a whole bunch of messy incidents but also got entangled with a great trouble like the Mysterious Mechanism that could provoke worldwide disputes.
However, I was only rewarded with one ultimate Fist Technique… Seven Injuries Fist!
At this moment, the Inner Strength coursed through Yin and Yang, and the inner breath of Longxiang Wisdom expanded, unleashing astonishing physical strength.
The blade of the Black clothed Man had not yet fallen when he already felt something was wrong.
The rain curtain around him underwent a bizarre transformation at this instant, twisting and turning shapelessly.
This was a display of Inner Strength affecting the air.
It made the Black clothed Man, who had just relaxed thinking he had tricked me, suddenly tighten his pupils.
He cast an incredulous look toward Su Mo, but only saw a fist!
Then, it was fists everywhere!
These fists, seeming even more numerous than raindrops, filled the Black clothed Man’s entire field of view in an instant.
Not only effortlessly bypassing his unfully deployed blade but also striking his chest in a flash.
The myriad of Punch Winds coalesced into one point, yet a powerful Inner Strength suddenly burst inside his body.
“This can’t be…”
The Black clothed Man disbelievingly watched Su Mo, unable to finish his sentence, already sent flying back, streaking like a shooting star.
He broke through layers of rain curtains in a blink, yet before hitting the ground, a thunderous explosion was heard, and his body directly burst apart!
In an instant, the world went silent.
Everyone who witnessed this scene couldn’t believe their eyes.
However, Yu Lingxin, having seen the opportunity very quickly and knowing more, immediately stopped using the Jade and Stone Burning Together technique and, in a breath’s work, cut down several other soul-taken men dressed in black.
The wind had not stopped, and the rain continued.
Su Mo lightly shook his hand and looked at Yu Lingxin, “I say, you didn’t do this on purpose, did you?”
“On purpose what?”
Yu Lingxin breathed lightly.
Su Mo hesitated a bit and then shook his head, “Forget it, it’s nothing. Is this over now?”
“…Almost.”
“Almost what?”
“This thing.”
The last line was not said by Yu Lingxin. The speaker came out from the dark, holding a sword single-handedly, a sword very long… a full seven feet!
His other hand was dragging a corpse.
The corpse died of sword wounds.
“Is it you?”
Su Mo looked at the man, somewhat surprised but also not.
The Swordsman glanced at Yu Lingxin and sneered, “You were right, they were indeed careful; while you were busy here, there were another pair of eyes, I gouged them out though, but… what you did was different than what was agreed.”
“Just a slight mishap.”
Yu Lingxin casually waved his hand, “You still have time to chat here?”
“Naturally, you… scoundrel! Maggot attached to the bones, never leaving in peace!”
The Swordsman, previously quite relaxed, suddenly became alert, threw the body aside, and gave Su Mo a fierce glare before turning to leave.
Watching him leave, Su Mo seemed thoughtful and suddenly looked at Yu Lingxin, “Who is that old man?”
“Old Man Shihen.”
Yu Lingxin looked at Su Mo, slightly smiling, “The Blade user you killed in the forest was his disciple.”
