Martial Research Master

92 RETURN

Long Tao was within the Crimson Lord world, where he decided to transfer the blood pool. Long Tao successfully completed the Blood tempering art. He was concentrating on Weapon Tempering art. Out of the ten meridians he had opened, he was currently standing at the seventh meridian. The time boost in the Crimson lord world was really helpful. He had 1 month to spare in the real world, which meant he had 6 months in the Crimson lord world. He was confident that he could complete the Weapon tempering art within the 1 month. The rest 5 months would eb utilised to advance his Qi cultivation. HE had to upgrade by two-level. He was currently at QI master level 5, he wanted to be in QI master level 7 or even 8 if possible. The main requirement to be able to achieve that was success in the three cultivation arts he practiced. He already managed to complete the Blood tempering art for QI master level. He had two more arts to practice rotations in. He concentrated on the Weapon tempering at the moment. Currently the coagulation of the 7th life weapon was taking place. It was designed to be a dagger.

Since Long Tao managed to create sword, saber, hammer, spear, bow arrow and halberd, he decided to go for the coagulation and creation of short ranged weapons. Daggers were inherently made up for close range fights and one of the prime weapons in the field of assassinations. Long Tao was practicing many assassination arts and the use of dagger in those arts was quite tremendous. Long Tao had got his hands on many techniques related to daggers. Hence this was the weapon of choice for Long Tao. The shape of the dagger was set to be of crude outline. Long Tao decided on a length that was a little large than traditional weapons and the blade was double edged. This was shape that Long Tao found to be most suited for his use.

The shape was set up and the acupoints had already finished the tempering part. The next part was to start assimilating the blood into the outline. This step required the imagination of the user to be vivid enough. Long Tao already had a clear picture in his mind and the dagger was formulated. The next step was another set of tempering until the shape solidifies properly and is set within the acupoint. The process began smoothly and soon enough the blood crystallised into a perfect shape. A dagger was currently resting with the acupoint of Long Tao. The seventh life weapon creation as finally complete. Long Tao rested for a bit and then started the replenishing process. 3 more acupoints were remaining. He decided the 8th weapon to be a rapier.

The theoretical difference between a rapier and as word was the shape and the change in speed and flexibility that brought into the weapon usage. Long Tao decided on the rapier because of the compatibility it had with movement techniques like the flash step. He didn’t require any art to practice his rapier. It simply went perfectly with the movement technique which Long Tao was most proficient in. Flash step was Long Tao’s strongest and fastest technique. It was a straight dash technique and rapier was the best weapon to be used in his situation as any other weapon would require an extra set of effort to execute with technique. The tempering started again. After a period of time Long Tao completed the shape forming and blood essence flow into the shape began automatically. Long Tao was now used to the pain caused by the Weapon Tempering formula. The coagulation was complete and the next set of tempering began. Finally, after a day’s time, Long Tao successfully held his 8th life weapon in his hands. The next two choices were also finalised by Long Tao by now. HE was going for a staff and a knuckle set.

A month later-

Long Tao was sitting with 10 shadows rotating around him. These were the ten weapons he possessed after the completion of the final two weapon creation. The list included a sword, saber, hammer, spear, halberd, shield, dagger, rapier, knuckles and staff. All of them had a bright red glow to themselves. This was the blood essence energy within the life weapons. These had the capability of getting stronger with the creator. Within the log list of extra features these provided, the main point was that these weapons could always be made more [powerful by feeding them not only blood but precious materials used to create these in real life as well. These can merge with real swords and devour them to create a more powerful version of themselves. Long Tao was starting to get amazed and he had barely even scratched the surface. He had completed the Weapon tempering formula as of now. He wanted to concentrate on his QI cultivation as of now. Long Tao’s cultivation in both Crimson World scripture and the Hell Soldier sutra was at the 5th stage. HE had to complete 5 more stages before the Crimson world scripture reached the QI master peak.

As per the Hell soldier sutra, it had 7 more cycles till reaching the peak. Long Tao decided that he would practice these simultaneously and hence began the circulation of the crimson world QI. Long Estimate that he would take another 2 months in the Crimson lord world to reach the seventh level QI master. This was the benefit of natural bodies, especially high ranked ones like Long Tao. He had a Omni-element body along with Hell-Heaven body presented by the Hell sutra. Long Tao continued his cultivation. He was able to reach the sixth level within the first month but his expectation was betrayed while cultivating for the seventh layer. Each divisional jump from beginner to intermediate or intermediate to advance was a difficult one to make. Long Tao never face a barrier before but this time, he did face one and it took another 2 months to reach the seventh layer. Long Tao was left with a single month to end his seclusion and return to the base. The black-bucks should already reached the rendezvous point.

The last 15 days was spent to open three more tertiary meridians within the body. Long Tao stood at 50 tertiary meridians. He was confident of being able to beat the helper of Li Wen if they fought again. Long Tao’s prowess should be equal to a QI general of level 4 stage. Long Tao got out of his seclusion cave and exited into the real world. He started his return journey. There was some minor assassination mission that Long Tao took care of in his return journey as the main aim of this time were herb collection missions. Long Tao had to take help of another avatar to finally finish the missions set and proceed toward Tamar. Long Tao was resting within a merchant lounge when he heard someone talking” Did you know that the Black-buck squad had been captured on charges of treason. This time they hit the steel plate. The news is that they would be executed in three days’ time publicly.”

“May I have the pleasure to hear brother’s information regarding the black-buck squad.” Long Tao approached the table placing a jar of wine as an offering. The fellow talking just then was happy to receive it and gave out all the information he had.” It is a rumour that the vice-captain Long Tao, who is said to be invincible within the Qi master realm, has a bone with the Lin General. Lin Bao must have manipulated the scenes from behind to put the black-buck squad in this odd position. He wanted them to be executed. The backer of Long Tao seems to have gone silent. The black-buck squad is being tortured as of now to get any necessary information from the. Long Tao seems to be in the wind.”. Long Tao thanked the person for his information and then came out after paying for another round of wine for the informer. He stretched out and then said to himself” The sky is going to be red soon.”

.....

Tamar, Prison cell-

Su Menqi was been held captive. Continuous interrogation and torture were performed on her to make her turn on Long Tao. Lin Bao even send his assurance that she and the squad would be spared if they gave up on Long Tao and convict them. Su Menqi was in denial of the situation kept a blank expression throughout. The only sound heard from her mouth were screams of pain. This was the night before the execution. The soldiers entered her room.” This is the last chance for your crimes and switch sides.” Su Menqi didn’t reply. The soldier bent down and stuck his tongue out. ” I should at least have a taste of the beauty before her demise.” HE was about to get near her when a sudden grab held his tongue tightly. He saw a black figure, before his head fell down. The soldiers nearby saw the face of the figure and were scared to death. A devil was standing in front of them.
