54 Fusion Skill? The Might of the Heart-softening Powder
Dark clouds hung in the sky, covering the moon. Crows cawed in the dark sky, and the cold eyes of wild wolves glimmered in the night. In the deep forest, comfortable snores rhythmically sounded.
Qin Huai woke up from his nap and stretched out his hand to check the wind direction. Then, he placed the various medicinal powders on his body at the specific air vents and waited for them to drift into the doors and windows.
Another half an hour passed, and only then did Qin Huai slowly stand up. He quietly walked to Gu He’s room. The room was not big, and Gu He’s bed was right next to the window.
‘What a great opportunity!’
!!
Qin Huai activated the breath control technique, and the white dragon in his body instantly soared and condensed in his palm.
Through the window, Qin Huai aimed at Gu He, who was lying on the bed a meter away.
Bang! Bang!
He pounced, smashed the window, and rushed into the house. He used the forbidden technique, rising dragon!
The moment the white dot of light was pushed out by Qin Huai, it exploded in the room.
Gu He’s eyes widened when he opened them. He slapped his hands and jumped up from the bed, but it was too late. He only saw a white light flash in front of him, and the terrifying air wave instantly drowned him.
Bang! Bang!
The entire room trembled. Wood splinters flew everywhere, and a hole had been blasted open in the mud wall by Qin Huai’s attack.
Gu He stood up in a sorry state in the dust. His whole body felt like it was being roasted, and blood was dripping from it.
Not to mention his clothes, even the skin and flesh on his chest could not be seen clearly. Blood flowed down his body and onto the floor. His hands were also trembling.
“Who’s there? Show yourself!” He looked around, searching for the figure in the dark.
Hu.
A gust of air blew in his face, and a hand was magnified in front of his eyes through the dust and smoke.
Gu He saw the face clearly. It was Qin Huai!
His eyes almost popped out of their sockets. Just as he raised his hand, another burst of air pressure gushed out in front of him, accompanied by an electric arc.
The shocking power instantly sent Gu He flying. His arms were trying to protect his head, but the explosion also exposed his white bones.
He rolled in the air, spiraling while splattering blood on the ground of the courtyard.
Qin Huai used another forbidden technique, but it was a little different from the last time. His palm was slightly numb.
He instantly sensed that it was the white dragon cloaked in lightning that he had struck out. The slight numbing effect came from this.
A lightning dragon? A fusion skill? Qin Huai didn’t have time to think about it.
The lights around them lit up one by one, and the others rushed out of the courtyard with their lights on and their clothes in disarray.
They saw Gu He lying on the ground in a bloody mess. At this moment, only Gu He’s head was still clean. Below the head, his body was covered in blood and exposed flesh.
The bones of his arms were exposed, and his lower body was not much better. Blood gathered under Gu He like a stream and slowly flowed down to the lower ground.
“It’s Qin Huai! Kill him!” Gu He screamed and actually forced himself to stand up from the ground.
Roaring, he activated all the qi and blood in his body, and his heart suddenly beat faster like a water pump. The skin on his entire body also turned ruddy, and his blood qi instantly reached its peak!
He staggered. The veins on his forehead bulged, as if he was gathering all his strength to break through some kind of obstacle. He gritted his teeth and charged at Qin Huai again.
After that…
Gu He groaned and fell to the ground.
“Ding! You have collected a [Thunderflash Skill Essence (Dark Blue) ], [Thunderflash Skill] Experience +853!”
The rest of the people were at a loss. They didn’t even know what had happened, and their boss had already died?
They were dumbfounded, but Qin Huai didn’t accompany them in the stalemate. He exerted strength in his legs and charged toward the crowd.
The first to bear the brunt was the remaining second refinement martial artist. His eyes were cold and sharp. When he saw Qin Huai rushing over, he waved his hands, and several flying daggers suddenly flew out from his sleeves.
In the moonless night, these cold blades were like the Grim Reaper’s scythe to ordinary martial artists.
But this did not include Qin Huai.
A green light flashed in his eyes. His spirit eye technique allowed him to clearly see the several flying daggers that were aimed at his vital points.
He stepped on the ground with the tip of his foot and twisted all the flying daggers away with a few light movements.
“Ha!” the second-refinement martial artist shouted in anger. With a shake of his hands, another ten daggers appeared in his hands.
After that…
His legs went soft, and his eyes became empty for a moment.
Qin Huai picked up a dagger on the ground with a kick, pinched it with two fingers, and threw it out with a spin. It instantly pierced through the second refinement martial artist’s forehead. Only the hilt of the knife was exposed.
The second refinement martial artist’s stiff body kept his arms crossed and fell forward with ten flying daggers in his hands.
“Ding! You have collected a [Thunderflash Skill Essence (Blue) ], [Thunderflash Skill] Experience +366!”
After Qin Huai collected the experience points, he turned around and rushed toward the others without any hesitation.
The two first-refinement martial artists who were poisoned and the other apprentices had no chance of resisting Qin Huai.
There were even many people who had died before Qin Huai had even arrived.
“Ding! You have collected a [Thunderflash Skill Essence (Green) ], [Thunderflash Skill] Experience +179!”
“Ding! You have collected a [Thunderflash Skill Essence (Green) ], [Thunderflash Skill] Experience +199!”
“Ding! You have collected a [Thunderflash Skill Essence (White) ], [Thunderflash Skill] Experience +89!”
“Ding! You have collected a [Thunderflash Skill Essence (White) ], [Thunderflash Skill] Experience +77!”
…
After dealing with Gu He and his team, Qin Huai’s thunder skill had also reached level 15, 1748/2000.
He deftly searched everyone’s body for silver.
Gu He had quite a lot on him, more than six hundred taels of silver in banknotes, but they were all blown up by Qin Huai’s forbidden technique, leaving only a few corners that could not be exchanged.
Qin Huai found more than three hundred taels of silver on the remaining people, as well as some loose silver.
“The heart-softening powder is indeed useful.”
Qin Huai picked up a small knife from the ground and cut open Gu He’s chest. There was an inch-long crack in his heart. It wasn’t big, but it was enough to kill a fragile and fatal organ like the heart.
He then cut open the second refinement martial artist’s chest, and more hearts were shattered. It was his first time doing this.
After Qin Huai had dug it open, he could only find fragments of his heart. Clearly, his entire heart had exploded.
Finally, it was the apprentices’ turn. After Qin Huai dug them open and rummaged through them, he found some tiny particles. The effect of this heart-softening powder was similar to that of the rat used in the experiment…
It was obvious the effect of the heart-softening powder would gradually decrease as the strength of the poisoned person increased.
“Although this heart-softening powder focuses on the heart and qi and blood, causing the poisoned person to die when the qi and blood are at their peak… For people with sufficient vitality, they can still use their vitality to suppress the spread and entry of the poison powder.
“The heart-softening powder is definitely fatal to third refinement martial artists at this stage. However, if it’s a fourth refinement, they might only be able to suppress the poison with a portion of their qi and blood.
“As expected, the battle between martial artists ultimately still boils down to vitality. Or rather, a battle of cultivation levels.
“But this is definitely not the limit of the heart-softening powder, and it’s not even my limit. There’s still room for improvement…”
Qin Huai silently concluded. He had also killed two white dragons in this battle.
He originally wanted to control the light spots to form a straight line and try to compress them into ‘light rays’ to increase their penetrating power. However, the moment he broke out of his body, Qin Huai realized that he could no longer control the ‘light spot’ that the white dragon had transformed into after leaving his body. He could only let it explode.
“No wonder Master still used the explosion method even though he has been researching the rising dragon for decades.”
Qin Huai felt that with his master’s ‘flexibility’ and ‘carefulness,’ he would have done it long ago if he could.
“But I still have a chance…”
Qin Huai thought of his lightning dragon. He didn’t do it on purpose. It was obvious that the two cultivation techniques and their characteristics had mutated in his body.
Moreover, the rising dragon that was shot out by the white dragon with the lightning cape was clearly different from the ordinary white dragon.
“Perhaps when my two cultivation techniques become more profound, the power and effect will welcome a transformation.
“Others will be worried that their qi and blood will be mottled when they practice too many cultivation methods, causing their cultivation speed to slow down. Even if they discovered this phenomenon, they would not be able to plow deeply.
“A lower realm with many tricks, compared to a higher realm… Even a fool would know what to choose if he could. But I don’t have this kind of trouble. I can have it all.
“In the future, if I can cultivate five, six, or even eight to ten cultivation techniques at the same time, they’ll affect each other, and my battle prowess and ability will definitely reach an unprecedented level.”
These were just Qin Huai’s wild thoughts. The details would need to be studied and explored in the future.
Qin Huai wandered around the house again, but he didn’t find any other valuable items or clues.
After gathering the corpses together, he laid some dry grass on the ground and set them on fire. Then, he turned around and left.
