Chapter 91
91 BLACK BUCK SQUAD IN PERIL
Looking at the black figure, Long Tao got a gut feeling that this was going to be a difficult opponent. His instinct warned him to stay alert of the attacks from the figure. He looked at the figure and was about to ask when suddenly a laugh escaped from the mouth of the figure.” I congratulate brother to have successfully gained the inheritance of the Heaven Cleaver sect. Might I have the luck of knowing the name of the brother?”. Long Tao replied in a calm tone” Long Tao.”. “The name is totally deserving brother’s demeanor of being a dragon among his generation. I am sorry to have forgotten to introduce myself. I am Li Xuanfa.”.” May I know why you interfered within my matters.”. Li Xuanfa looked at Long Tao carefully and said” Although I admire you, I can’t let my sister die in your hands. As per the current situation, she is one of the sect juniors of yours.”.
While the conversation with LI Xuanfa was going on, Long Tao was conversing with The Keeper to ask about his cultivation. The keeper said with a low tone” The one in front of you is quite talented. His bone age is 5 years more than you, but his cultivation realm is already at the 4th level of QI general. Be careful while choosing the next action of yours.” Long Tao had to calculate the situation properly. A single mistake could lead to disastrous consequences. The only person alive at the moment were Li Wen and Li Xuanfa. LI Wen couldn’t continue the fight, but LI Xuanfa by himself was an opponent to be aware of. If the keeper is praising the talent then, he should be having some trump cards. But Long Tao was really interested in playing with Li Wen. He was not in a mood to just give up. He decided to take his chances and enjoy the fight with a good opponent.
“I don’t like repeating my words. The only end which all my enemies meet at the end is death. It’s their fate since the moment they choose to be my enemy. I feel a similar feeling from you, which makes me wonder you to be another one of the inheritors of the Heaven Cleaver Sect. Since you are my sect brother and a senior by experience, I would give you a chance to preserve your life, by running away. Leave this matter for us to solve.” Li Xuanfa started to grasp the general sense of the situation. The atmosphere turned serious the moment Long Tao spoke. He reached out for his sword. “I would request junior brother to let this matter slip for a single time. I will make sure that she doesn’t prove to be a hindrance to you in the future. Let me owe you a favor in return for your generosity in this matter.”
Long Tao looked at LI wen and said “You have to become my maid if you want to preserve your life.” You will be serving me till death for this act of yours.” Long Tao proceeded towards Li Wen. Li Xuanfa drew his sword out. The first sword clash was heard soon enough. Long Tao was pushed back. Long Tao was amazed by the attack. He didn’t expect someone of his generation to be talented enough. The attack was a physical-based sword swing and he lost. Long Tao took pride in body cultivation but for the first time, someone near his age managed to show opposition. He started QI circulation through all the meridians. The clash continued. Either of the opponents was just using their physical strength to clash. Long Tao started to gain the upper hand after multiple bouts and finally managed to suppress the opponent. Li Xuanfa was surprised that the new inheritor of the Heaven Cleaver sect was having such achievement in body cultivation.
He started applying QI in his attacks. He was a 4th level Qi general practitioner. He was confident of his abilities. Long Tao decided to continue with body cultivation. The fight started to turn serious. Sword clash was followed by an exchange of fists and kicks. Long Tao was using his acupoints now. His QI reserves were now in a process of perfect regulation. He continued the onslaught. The basic sword technique was being used by Long Tao. As the fight proceeded, Long Tao was forced to use his QI reserves. The fight was taking a bloody turn. Multiple injuries were visible on both sides. Long Tao’s recovery rate was much faster than Li Xuanfa, but the cultivation difference made up for it. The final curtain was about to be drawn. Long Tao was using all his QI strength along with body cultivation to confront but was still not able to gain an upper hand. He was confident of his ability to cause harm, but the hidden cards of the opponent were still a mystery.
Long Tao backed up a little bit.” Let send the brawl here. It was good to have a satisfying fight once in a while.” Li Xuanfa was silent. Long Tao chose to retire from the fight since a conclusion was very difficult to reach and killing Li Wen was not important enough to be paid such a high price for. He went on his way, disappearing with the mansion. Li Xuanfa gave out a sigh of relief. Li Wen thanked her brother for the help “Why didn’t you killed the bastard?”. Li Xuanfa looked at her with contempt in his eyes. “I forgot how na?ve you can be. He didn??t use all his strength. The only reason why he gave up was the uncertainty of reaching a conclusion. He didn’t think your life to be worth enough for him to use all his powers to fight against me. This is a sinister character at the very least. We need to be wary of him. Even I am scared to invite him to the church”
Long Tao was back in his palace and was currently headed to the blood pool. Reaching there he immediately let go of his clothes and jumped into the pool. He started the last cycle of Blood tempering art. He decided to complete his blood tempering art and Weapon tempering art for all the acupoints before going back to the military base. He started the circulation art and drew in the blood essence. The circulation began and Long to was started the last round of refining. The final stage of refining ended after a period of time. Long Tao was current at peak Qi master stage considering the Blood tempering art. The three-phase remaining were Hell soldier sutra and Crimson World scripture. The next phase was the creation of Life weapon for acupoints, the Weapon Tempering art. Long Tao decided upon a variety of weapons to be created from the blood essence.
The process started. It was as painful as the first trial was. The blood essence was drawn from Long Tao’s body and the meridians were constantly refined with the essence energy. Long Tao’s body was sucked dry with every refining cycle. He continued to absorb the essence of energy from the pool while the creation of the life-weapons was continuing. Long Tao decided to create more types of weapons of various shapes and the constant tempering as going on. He was confident to be able to finish the creation by the end of the month and return to the military base.
Within the forest regions-
.....
The Black-buck squad was following the training regime given out by Long Tao. Most of the missions were already completed and many of the group missions were being executed one by one. The first mission an ambush. It was plotted to stop and seize the grain supplies for the military camps near the borders. IT was carried out successfully while the squad was posing as robbers within the forests. The soldiers guarding the supplies included beginner QI master along with some mid-level Qi masters and one advanced Qi master. The strategy of the Blackbuck squad was to keep the advanced QI master busy while the rest of the group will be killed. Su Meng came forward to become the staller. The fight was gruesome. She had managed to reach the 5th stage QI master realm and was able to hold him until the rest of the squad was wiped out.
The Black-bucks then shifted to a group attack strategy, which was successful. Only a single member of the squad lost his life while fighting. This was the first time the squad has lost a member while Long Tao was present. The fight was won. In the process of taking revenge for their deceased team member, the Black-buck successfully massacred opponents and managed to complete the rest of the missions. Long Tao had already asked them to proceed towards the base after the completion of missions. Just as they were proceeding toward the base, they were confronted with multiple squads.
Su Meng had a bad feeling about this event. One of the leaders came forward and showed a subpoena to the squad.” The Blackbucks are hereby charged with treason and would be taken into custody.”
