Chapter 53: Chapter 51 Ignoring
At that moment, the wind rose and the clouds surged. The clouds that had gathered in the sky dispersed, and the bright moonlight poured down, illuminating the corpses strewn around the Mountain God Temple.
Crack!
Su Heng shook his neck.
He hadn't sustained any injuries just then, but inevitably, his body was splashed with the rotting blood of corpses.
His clothes were sticky, especially since the fresh blood seemed to contain some kind of highly corrosive toxin, which the ordinary fibers couldn't withstand, and were directly melted through.
Luckily, Su Heng had prepared for this.
His body size basically grew noticeably every two or three days.
Therefore, inside the bundle he carried, he had more than ten sets of clothes of different sizes and styles, ready to be exchanged at any time.
He didn't have to worry too much about looking too wretched because of this.
"Excuse me, big brother..."
Xu Ziyi and her brother Xu Baixia had also recovered from the shock.
A gleam appeared in Xu Ziyi's eyes, and a coquettish smile spread across her face. She quickly stepped forward, wanting to greet Su Heng.
As she ran, her full breasts swayed visibly.
When approaching Su Heng, she deliberately bent over, revealing an enticing glimpse of her snow-white skin.
Unfortunately...
Su Heng didn't give them a glance.
He completely ignored them, as if they were air, and brushed past her.
"You're not hurt, are you." Su Heng tore open his clothes and casually threw them aside, revealing his strong, bronze-colored muscles covered in ribbed sinews. Xu Ziyi, watching Su Heng's formidable back, was so mesmerized that she was completely unaware of the drool escaping her mouth.
This exaggerated muscle and strength, this overwhelming sense of security.
If only she could be embraced by him, she would die without regrets.
Unfortunately...
Her most prized weapon had no effect on him at all.
Su Heng hastily wiped off the bloodstains on his body and pulled out a brand new black cloth robe from his backpack, slipping it on.
Only then did Xu Ziyi reluctantly shift her gaze away.
"I'm fine," said Su Li, frowning slightly, "It's just..."
She looked down at her arm. The skin around the wound was no longer dark red but had started to turn slightly black.
Half her arm was limp and weak, devoid of strength.
"Hmm..."
Su Heng frowned and gently pressed on the injured area of Su Li.
Swish!
A properties panel appeared before his eyes.
[Green Wood Longevity Technique Level 5 (Special Effects: Green Wood Longevity Energy, Recharge Acceleration)]
Without hesitating, Su Heng threw all the thirty attribute points he had accumulated into it, advancing the Green Wood Longevity Technique to level six, and new special effects, "Accelerated Healing," appeared.
There are a total of eight levels in the Green Wood Longevity Technique, and with Su Heng having advanced to the sixth level, he was nearing mastery.
Unlike third-rate cultivation techniques such as the Pure Yang Skill and the Black Evil Technique.
Once one embarks on the Green Wood Longevity Technique, it generates a sense of qi that easily surpasses human limits, stepping into the realm of demon form.
Of course...
It is extremely difficult to embark on this cultivation technique.
Without the aid of medicine, it is almost impossible to achieve.
Even with the assistance of the panel and accumulating attribute points, it still took Su Heng a long time.
Therefore, comparing third-rate cultivation techniques with the core inheritances of the Demon Suppression Bureau, one can say they each have their pros and cons. After all, the fusion of multiple techniques continually strengthens them and eventually leads to basically similar theoretical limits.
Su Li's current state should be at the fourth level.
With the special effect of Recharge Acceleration, her internal strength was more profound than that of other martial artists of the same level.
However, the healing and detoxifying effects of the Green Wood Longevity Technique were not very noticeable in Su Li. Facing the potent toxins brought by the decaying corpses, Su Li could only suppress it, unable to completely remove it.
"Your little bit of strength won't help, my injuries aren't too severe," Su Li seemed to guess Su Heng's thoughts.
She endured the dizziness and softly comforted.
Fortunately, they were not too far from Baihua County. As long as they reached the county's government office and returned to the Demon Suppression Bureau, the toxins in her body would not be a big issue.
Just gritting her teeth and enduring a bit longer would suffice.
Thinking this, she then widened her eyes, feeling a mountainous, tsunami-like robust strength pouring into her body.
The Green Wood Longevity Strength of Su Heng and Su Li had the same origin, but in terms of quality and quantity, Su Li was far inferior. If Su Li's strength was a babbling brook, then the strength Su Heng was now injecting into her body was like a raging river.
Moreover, the quality of this strength was so rich it was almost purplish.
Thunderously, all that intense corpse poison that had been troubling Su Li began to melt away like snow under the sun upon meeting Su Heng's strength.
Even the wounds on Su Li's arms were healing at a visibly rapid rate, quickly scabbing over and healing.
"Done!"
Su Heng patted his hands, stood up, and had a look of satisfaction on his face as if a major task had been accomplished.
Su Li looked down at her arm; the wound had completely disappeared, healed, and her skin had returned to its original fair gleam.
"I originally thought it would leave a scar, but to think that…" Su Li also let out a big sigh of relief.
"How did you do it?" Su Li slowly regained her composure, clutching the corner of Su Heng's robe, looked up at him with eager eyes, "It's only been a few days, how did you cultivate the Green Wood Longevity Technique to this level?"
"It was a bit slow," Su Heng humbly replied, "Mostly because I've been on the road lately and haven't had much time to cultivate."
"Or else it would have been perfected," a critical hit.
"…" Su Li's shoulders drooped, and she moved aside, not talking to him anymore.
"The environment here, well…" Although Su Heng wasn't afraid of danger, the area around the Mountain God Temple was filled with decaying bodies and blood everywhere, and the strong stench of blood lingered in the air, which was somewhat nauseating, "We need to find another place."
Su Li and Xiao Qing nodded, as girls naturally prefer cleanliness.
The three of them turned to leave.
At this moment, Xu Ziyi approached them, her large eyes brimming with tears, and she spoke in a pitiful tone, "Kind sir, could you possibly take my brother and me along with you? If we can safely reach Baihua County, we will be very grateful, and I am willing to…"
While speaking, a blush faintly crept up Xu Ziyi's fair cheeks.
Unfortunately, when she looked up, Su Heng had already walked more than ten meters away with Su Li, leaving only Xiao Qing behind.
At that moment, she turned around.
Her expression was cold and thoughtful as she glanced at her.
But ultimately, she did not speak, turned her head, and quickly left the Mountain God Temple.
Xu Ziying was left standing there, her facial expression transforming from coy to embarrassed, and from embarrassed to resentful.
Beauty had always been a weapon for her, never failing since she was young.
But now, it was completely ineffective. She was being thoroughly ignored, as if she were just a puff of air, which deeply frustrated Xu Ziying.
She bit her lip and took out a pale purple ball from her sachet again.
"Sister, no!" Xu Baixia's expression changed drastically, she scolded in a low voice, trying to stop her, but it was a bit too late.
Swish!
The purple ball sped through the air.
Just as Su Heng disappeared on the mountain path, it landed on his trouser leg, exploded into a cloud of mist, and clung to his clothing.
