Only Got My Martial Arts Modifier in My Old Age
Chapter 255: Chapter 133: Flesh and Blood Manifests, Muscle Grows on Bone! In Short, I Am of Great Origin
In that fleeting moment of delay, Lu Yun descended from the sky, his shadow completely enveloping the short old man from Wa Country.
Among the five foreigners, the one from Wa Country was the easiest to recognize. He was short, sleazy, and even had a damn little mustache. Lu Yun would have recognized him even if he were reduced to ash.
The short old man from Wa Country looked up. Staring at the palm that drew ever closer, he desperately thrust out his own two palms again, frantically channeling the black water within his body!
Divine Intent True Qi automatically surged from Lu Yun’s body, forming a protective barrier. The black water disintegrated on contact, burned completely away into clouds of white smoke. Not a single trace could get near him.
Then, Lu Yun reached out a large hand, wreathed in Cyan and Yellow Divine Intent True Qi, and pressed it down on the head of the short old man from Wa Country.
In that moment, the short old man from Wa Country finally experienced Lu Yun’s true power.
Countless mountain peaks materialized in the depths of his mind, each one taller than the heavens and thicker than the earth.
The mountains pressed in from all sides, squeezing the consciousness of the short old man from Wa Country, leaving him nowhere to run.
What was most outrageous was that behind these mountains sat two great Buddhas, radiating a jade-green light.
At the same time, the mountains and the great Buddhas struck, unleashing a world-destroying power that rained down upon him.
"AH!!!"
The short old man from Wa Country only managed to let out a short, miserable cry before his entire body was completely incinerated into nothingness by the Cyan and Yellow Divine Intent True Qi.
After eliminating the short old man from Wa Country, Lu Yun turned and sprinted back the way he had come without a single glance back.
The White Fox was still there, with Mr. Mei using all his strength to hold it back.
When Lu Yun rushed back, the White Fox was locked in combat with Mr. Mei. It was covered in wounds, its aura weak, and its body, once as large as a tiger, had shrunk to the size of a calf.
Mr. Mei, for his part, was also panting heavily and drenched in sweat.
After all, the two of them were the most grievously injured parties present. It was a case of two novices pecking at each other, with neither able to gain the upper hand.
Coming within ten meters of the White Fox, Lu Yun raised his right fist and threw a punch.
The Cyan and Yellow Divine Intent Fist Seal tore through the air and slammed squarely into the White Fox.
The White Fox’s body stiffened abruptly and began to emit billowing white smoke. In the end, just like the short old man from Wa Country, it was completely annihilated.
Sensing no other unusual auras within a five-hundred-meter radius, Lu Yun quickly sent a sliver of his consciousness into his mind.
[Extreme Blue Martial Arts Modifier]
Name: Lu Yun
Gender: Male
Realm: Grandmaster of Divine Intent (Late Stage)
Cultivation Technique: Ten Thousand Valleys Struggle Fist (4th Floor), Glazed Radiant Body (2nd Floor)
Modified Value: 3000
He gained 2000 modified value for killing the short old man from Wa Country, and exactly 1000 modified value from the White Fox, for a total of 3000.
’Three thousand. Not a huge amount, but not insignificant either. At least tonight wasn’t a total waste.’
At that moment, Lu Yun looked up toward the other directions. ’A shame those other four bastards got away,’ he thought.
After all, those four foreigners were all top-tier Grandmasters of Divine Intent. If they were dead set on escaping, he could only hope to catch one.
It wasn’t just a matter of speed. Lu Yun was afraid they might deliberately lure him away, only to take the opportunity to wreak havoc in Yun Port City.
If he gave chase too far, and other Outer Celestial Demons were to go on a killing spree in the city, the consequences would be unthinkable.
Lu Yun retracted his gaze, glanced at the overturned train in the distance, and let out a soft sigh.
"Mr. Mei, come back with me for now. Others will be here to clean up this mess."
’Who would have thought so many people would die on the train from Yanjing? It seems it was all fated.’
「In Shun’an Province」
Ever since taking Lu Yun as his master, Zhou Lie had not slacked off in the slightest.
He wholeheartedly scoured the entire province for Immortal Flesh, constantly sending disciples to watch every marketplace.
Whenever word got out that Immortal Flesh had appeared, Zhou Lie was faster and more desperate than anyone to get it. Over the past few days, he had run the entire Zhou Family ragged.
The disciples complained incessantly, but seeing their master acting like he was on steroids, none of them dared to utter a single word of protest.
Lately, however, Zhou Lie had been troubled. Shun’an Province bordered the heartland of the Daxia New Country, and many of the provinces in that heartland had long since been consolidated by a faction called the Zulong Empire.
Its leader, a man claiming to be a descendant of Emperor Zulong, was incredibly ambitious. With a formidable army at his command, he was expanding in all directions.
Rumor had it that he had over a dozen Grandmasters of Huajin under his command, an army several hundred thousand strong, and an imposing, unstoppable momentum.
If not for a ruthless figure in the west, the King of the Western Regions, keeping the Zulong Empire tied up in an intractable conflict,
his own Shun’an Province, as well as the neighboring Yifeng Province, would have had armies at their gates long ago.
To the north, the Yinwang Empire, backed by the people of Wa Country, watched with predatory eyes. The Wa had given them money, guns, and cannons, fattening up the Yinwang Empire, which now constantly schemed to expand southward.
To the south, there was that old monster from the Yellow Heaven Empire, the self-proclaimed Tiangong General, who was as elusive as a ghost. He would cause trouble in the east one day and stir up chaos in the west the next; no one could get a read on him.
And to the west, the two behemoths—the Zulong Empire and the King of the Western Regions—were locked in a relentless war.
One day they would seize a city, the next they would lose territory, leaving rivers of blood and fields of corpses in their wake.
His own Shun’an Province was caught in the middle, its situation utterly precarious.
As he thought of this, Zhou Lie sat in the main seat of the Zhou Family’s great hall, his brow tightly furrowed. He spun two iron balls in his hand, which made a constant CLACKING sound.
Just then, a figure rushed in anxiously. It was his brother-in-law, Chen Daxiong.
Chen Daxiong was panting and covered in sweat, his face beaded with perspiration. As soon as he saw Zhou Lie, he yelled, "Brother-in-law! It’s terrible!"
Zhou Lie frowned, the iron balls in his hand stopping abruptly. "What is it? Why are you in such a panic?"
Gasping for breath, Chen Daxiong stammered, "There’s a fight on the west side of the city! Several unfamiliar Grandmasters of Huajin have shown up! They say... they say their entire family found some Immortal Flesh!"
"Those old geezers from the Soul-Seeking Tower, Jingkong Temple, and Fuyun Temple are all there! It looks like they’ve also set their sights on the Immortal Flesh!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Lie shot to his feet, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets. "What? It’s really Immortal Flesh?"
The next second, Zhou Lie tilted his head back and roared with laughter. "Hahaha! It seems heaven itself is helping me! I can finally present my Master with a grand gift!"
Chen Daxiong was startled by this reaction and took an instinctive half-step back.
He stared wide-eyed at his brother-in-law’s face, which was contorted in a crazed laugh, and asked in confusion, "Huh? Brother-in-law, there are a lot of Grandmasters of Huajin there! The Soul-Seeking Tower, Jingkong Temple, Fuyun Temple... which one of those isn’t an established power? We can’t possibly win against them!"
Zhou Lie shot him a disdainful, sidelong glance. "Hmph. Fool. Have you already forgotten what I told you?"
Chen Daxiong froze, only snapping out of it when Zhou Lie pulled a photograph from his inner pocket and waved it in front of his face.
In the photograph, Lu Yun sat in the seat of honor while Zhou Lie knelt before him, respectfully offering the disciple’s tea.
It had been taken the day he became a disciple, and he had carried it close to his heart ever since, treating it like a priceless treasure.
Zhou Lie grinned, carefully tucking the photo back into his pocket and patting his chest. "In any case, your brother-in-law has some serious backing now!"
Chen Daxiong looked at the photograph, then back at his brother-in-law’s smug, arrogant expression, and finally put two and two together.
"Alright... Brother-in-law, that backing of yours... is definitely big enough."
Zhou Lie clapped him on the shoulder. "Go! Gather our men! Today, I’m going to show those old bastards who really calls the shots in Shun’an Province!"
