Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

Chapter 124 – Family Blood

The speed of Long Xiang was faster than Su Yun had expected. When Long Xiang started running, its speed had already surpassed Su Yun's fastest body technique. When it ran a hundred zhang away, Su Yun suddenly felt like he had hit a wall!

It was a wall formed by the air in front of him!

Long Xiang's speed was so fast that the air in front of him did not have time to disperse and piled up together, making the air seem like a solid entity that was extremely heavy and almost made him spit blood.

Suddenly, a loud thunderous sound came from his ear, and the air wall in front of him broke, and the pressure suddenly decreased.

Su Yun shook his head and looked up. He saw his spiritual technique, the Big Yellow Bell, automatically appearing above his head, slowly turning, and each ring layer by layer advancing in an orderly manner.

The rotation of the Big Yellow Bell made the air flow backward with the bell, emitting a burst of whistling sound.

Su Yun breathed a sigh of relief and looked back, only to see a white cloud slowly dispersing behind him, which was the trace left by Long Xiang's speed breaking through some kind of limit.

At this moment, Su Yun suddenly saw a dwarf rushing out of the jungle and running towards him. It was Baotianjiang.

Baotianjiang ran wildly while his body expanded. By the time his size turned into a giant, Long Xiang had already thrown him far away. His speed was simply incomparable to Long Xiang's.

Long Xiang was covered in dragon scales, had dragon claws, and was agile like a dragon and ran like a horse, with extremely fast speed!

Su Yun blinked his eyes and thought to himself, "This Baotianjiang actually waited outside for three days, but he is patient enough. Unfortunately, he is a bit fat and his steps are too slow..."

Just as he thought of this, he suddenly saw a huge spiritual weapon whistling and spinning, and rushing towards them from the sky!

The spiritual weapon was surrounded by colorful crystals that constantly changed colors and shapes. It could even catch up with Long Xiang's footsteps, showing how powerful Baotianwang's strength was!

Su Yun's heart sank, but unexpectedly, Long Xiang suddenly turned!

At such a fast speed, it was almost impossible to turn and change direction, but this dragon horse actually turned a big bend!

"Boom!"

The spiritual weapon fell to the ground, and the surrounding mountains and rocks exploded. Countless rocks were disintegrated in the air and crushed by the gorgeous crystals.

Long Xiang, carrying Su Yun and Xue Qingfu, just ran past the power of the spiritual weapon. Su Yun even saw the crystals floating in the air and constantly changing shapes, as if he could touch them with his hand.

Long Xiang ran past, and suddenly a second spiritual weapon appeared in the air, and Long Xiang turned again.

"Boom!"

"Boom!" "Boom!"

One spiritual weapon after another fell from the sky, forcing Long Xiang to turn and change direction constantly. Su Yun's heart gradually sank, and he saw Long Xiang being forced to turn around and run back.

Baotianjiang stood there, constantly using spiritual weapons to attack them, looking very pleased with himself.

"Baotianjiang, I told you to respect my stall mate, didn't you understand?"

Baotianjiang's face changed drastically. He looked up and saw the sky suddenly darkening. A fist the size of a small mountain fell from the sky. Baotianjiang quickly urged his hundred arms and shook all the spiritual weapons, rushing towards the fist, and said fiercely, "Eastern Master, I have given you face and let them go for three days. Don't bully people too much..."

"Boom!"A mushroom cloud rose slowly, and Long Xiang hurriedly stopped, crawling on the ground. Su Yun and Xue Qingfu quickly lay on Long Xiang's back, and a hurricane swept by, with raging flames in the wind.

After the hurricane passed, Su Yun and Xue Qingfu stood up, and Long Xiang also climbed up and came to the place where Baotian Jiang was standing. Su Yun looked down and saw that it had become a big pit.

Baotian Jiang lay in the pit, staring blankly at the sky with his eyes wide open, his teeth broken and scattered, and the spiritual weapons in his hand scattered all over the place. In the sky, another cloud turned into a fist and was about to smash down.

Baotian Jiang quickly shrank his body and turned into a small person a foot tall. He knelt on the ground, with a hundred arms folded in front of him, and bowed down, begging for mercy: "Your Majesty, I surrender!"

The cloud in the sky dissipated. Baotian Jiang quickly got up, rushed out of the big pit, and hundreds of spiritual weapons flew out of the pit and followed him.

Su Yun was very envious: "Baotian Jiang is really rich." He looked up and saw that the cloud in the sky was shining. Eastern Master's carriage was in the cloud. It was obvious that Eastern Master had just made a move.

Su Yun bowed from afar, and in the treasure carriage in the cloud, Eastern Master bowed in return through the curtain. The sound of silk and bamboo came from the clouds, as if responding.

Long Xiang set off again and rushed towards Shuofang City. They passed by Tian Shi Yuan Post Station, and saw that the post station was still very lively at night, and countless monsters rushed towards the post station.

Several old soldiers stood on the high ground of the mountain, shirtless, with muscles like iron and bronze, blocking countless monster attacks and guarding the post station.

Soon, Long Xiang caught up with the Land Candle Dragon heading towards Shuofang. On the Land Candle Dragon's carriage, the top of each building was occupied by spiritual masters who were using their abilities to repel the attacks of the Yan Shi Puppet from the Old Man's Area.

The dragon whiskers of the Land Candle Dragon were hundreds of feet long and swayed in the night wind.

Long Xiang surpassed the Land Candle Dragon and went all the way. When Long Xiang carried them out of Tian Shi Yuan, Su Yun looked up and saw the setting sun hanging in the western sky.

It was already night in Tian Shi Yuan.

"The time and space in Tian Shi Yuan have indeed been twisted by three hours." Su Yun looked at his big yellow clock and said to Xue Qingfu, "Senior, Tian Shi Yuan should have a distortion effect on time and space."

"More than just distorting time and space." Xue Qingfu smiled and said, "It is also related to the mystery of longevity. It is rumored that if you can unlock the mystery of Tian Shi Yuan, becoming an immortal and living forever is not a problem!"

Su Yun was curious and asked, "Senior, you must know something about Tian Shi Yuan, right?"

Xue Qingfu's eyes flashed and he smiled, "I only know the secrets buried in Tian Shi Yuan. Even if you spend your whole life digging, you won't be able to dig them all out."

Long Xiang rushed all the way and finally arrived in Shuofang before the sun went down. When Long Xiang was running wild in the city, the Jiehui Lantern on the Shuofang road was lit, and they arrived at the Apricot Forest Medicine Shop.

Su Yun jumped down, helped Xue Qingfu down from the horse, and tied Long Xiang to the lamp post, saying, "Doctor Dong is a physician from the Wen Chang Academy, with great skills and can cure the illness of the saint."Xue Qingfu laughed heartily and said, "I am already old. Fighting against the old immortals and god kings has left them heavily injured. Even if I cannot completely heal them, I have no regrets. What about Long Xiang? Didn't Eastern Master tell you to release it?"

Su Yun replied calmly, "I'm afraid it doesn't know the way back. When I go to Tian Shi Yuan next time, I will personally take it back. Only then can I rest assured."

Xue Qingfu followed him into the medicinal herb shop and laughed, "You can't keep this horse!"

Su Yun smiled but didn't say anything.

In the medicinal herb shop, Doctor Dong diagnosed Xue Qingfu and said, "Have you been to the West before? I see that the medical techniques you used to save yourself have many methods used by Westerners."

Xue Qingfu said, "I went to the West in my early years. I may have been one of the earliest to go."

Doctor Dong took his blood with a silver needle and placed the blood vial aside. He said, "I've heard many stories about you, but I didn't know you had been overseas."

Xue Qingfu looked at the blood vial and said, "I had to go because of the country's crisis."

.

Chi Xiaoyao approached and took the blood vial, whispering to Su Yun, "Where have you been for the past three days? You didn't attend class or go home. Your little demons at home were worried sick and had to keep me for the night before they could sleep!"

"I went to Tian Shi Yuan with Saint Xue to meet the god king and the old immortal from the Tong family."

Su Yun was puzzled and asked, "What about Hua Er? Hasn't he returned home?"

"He was taken away by Master Lingyue. He didn't study well and I heard he went to visit a brothel."

Chi Xiaoyao spat and said, "Master Lingyue taught him that eating sèxually can be beneficial, but on the first day at the brothel, he was struck by lightning. In the middle of winter, a bolt of lightning struck the rooftop, piercing it. He was sent here for treatment by the brothel, but Master Lingyue took him away as soon as he was healed."

Su Yun was stunned, imagining the scene of the honest and simple Hua Er being struck by lightning while visiting a brothel with Master Lingyue, causing him to feel dizzy.

Chi Xiaoyao took a silver needle and said, "You've skipped three days of class. I'll go to Shanshui Ju tonight and make up for you."

Su Yun nodded and extended his arm.

Chi Xiaoyao took his blood with a silver needle but couldn't pierce it. She exclaimed, "Junior Brother, your body is almost the same as mine now. You've improved so quickly."

She gathered her qi and blood, infused it into the silver needle, and finally pierced Su Yun's skin.

Chi Xiaoyao took a small bottle of blood and turned to get Xue Qingfu's blood vial. Suddenly, she whispered, "Junior Brother, look quickly!"

Su Yun looked over and saw that Xue Qingfu's blood vial had become scorching hot, and the blood inside was boiling!

In just a short moment, half of the small bottle of blood was burnt!

Su Yun turned to look at Xue Qingfu, who was unaware and was chatting with Doctor Dong. Su Yun thought to himself, "You have the same scheming as Eastern Master, who is a thief and a self-proclaimed emperor. So what about you, Saint Xue?"

"I heard that the god king in the Old No-Man's Land has an illegitimate background and is not the true master of Tian Shi Yuan. The true master of Tian Shi Yuan is someone with immortal bloodlines."Xue Qingfu's eyes were gentle as he smiled and said, "It is said that the descendants of this immortal bloodline followed the fall of the Tian Shi Yuan to this world. The people of this bloodline are called immortal beings, and they are able to control immortal techniques. Has Doctor Dong ever seen such a person?"

Doctor Dong shook his head and said, "I have not. Has the Saint seen one?"

Xue Qingfu shook his head and said, "I have not either. But I have seen immortal techniques. The Divine King once displayed his immortal technique in front of me, causing his arm to explode and himself to be seriously injured."

Xue Qingfu continued to treat him, his eyes narrowed in surprise, "Such a thing exists? Then wouldn't the Divine King be unable to use immortal techniques?"

"He has a method that allows his limbs to grow rapidly, but it greatly consumes his vitality."

Xue Qingfu said slowly, "When I suppressed the Old No-Man's Land, I fought a battle with him. I took his immortal technique and forced him to admit defeat. He told me that he took the Divine King's throne from the last immortal being. That person was a child, and he deceived the child and took his immortal technique, thereby taking his throne."

Doctor Dong opened the wooden box he carried with him and placed his hand inside, smiling with his eyes narrowed, "Why did the Saint tell me all this?"

Xue Qingfu whispered, "Because I have found the child with the immortal body."

Doctor Dong grasped the spiritual weapon in the box, veins bulging on the back of his hand as he said lightly, "Who does Saint Xue think the child is?"

"It's him." Xue Qingfu nodded towards Su Yun.

Doctor Dong was taken aback, put down the spiritual weapon, and took out a few silver needles, saying, "Lie down, Saint."

He used the silver needles to administer medicine to Xue Qingfu's body and said, "Saint should rest first. Your injury needs to be completely healed, which will take four or five days. Come back every afternoon from now on. Oh, and Saint Xue won't forget to pay me for the medicine, will he?"

Xue Qingfu got up, moved his body, and praised, "Truly a divine doctor. Your methods are extraordinary. Doctor Dong, rest assured, I will bring the money for the medicine when I come tomorrow." With that, he left.

Chi Xiaoyao handed Doctor Dong the blood bottle that had already dried up. Doctor Dong's eye twitched, and he habitually narrowed his eyes and said, "Take on the immortal technique? No one in this world can take on an immortal technique, not even the Saint, unless..."

Su Yun blinked his eyes, lowered his voice, and imitated his voice, "Unless what?"

"Unless he also knows immortal techniques..."

Doctor Dong suddenly realized, glared at him, waved his hand, and said, "Go home early! Don't get involved in this matter."

Chi Xiaoyao quickly said, "Master, Junior Brother has been skipping classes these past few days. I will go and make up for his lessons!"

Doctor Dong waved his hand.

Su Yun and Chi Xiaoyao excitedly walked out. Su Yun smiled and said, "Senior Sister, I have a horse that is very fast, as fast as a shooting star! Come up, let's take a ride in the city and then go to the Wen Chang Academy!"

Zhai Zhu: If you don't have a monthly ticket, give me a recommendation ticket, and I'll take you for a ride~~
