Chapter 295: You Are All No Longer Appealing
Zhou Qianmo understood what Roger meant.
If Han Yun City indeed rushed over, then there might really be a camaraderie like that of comrades-in-arms between them.
In other words, the likelihood of the two teaming up to kill Xiaomu would be extremely high... it might even be a foregone conclusion.
But if they don't go...
With Xu Lingjun's strength, facing either Roger or Wu Hongzhou alone, he couldn't possibly be their match, he would certainly not survive.
In fact, even if Han Yun City rushed over...
He would also be hard-pressed to escape death.
Although it would be 2 against 2, two Huichuan realm martial artists against two Profound realm established martial artists... it's known that the strength of a martial artist increases like a pyramid.
Before entering Huichuan, it's all about increasing oneself step by step.
But upon reaching the Profound realm, there would be a qualitative leap.
He sighed deeply and said, "Be careful, I've seen with my own eyes that Han Yun City has certainly broken through to the Profound realm by now."
"Hahaha, so what if he has broken through? Even if he's really broken through to the Profound realm, even if Xu Lingjun isn't dead by the time he arrives, what difference does that make?"
Roger laughed heartily and said, "Wu Hongzhou and I can join forces, are we afraid they can escape alive? They won't have any luck, and more likely, Han Yun City will watch Xu Lingjun get killed by Wu Hongzhou, and then he'll latch onto Wu Hongzhou relentlessly. Even those experts following behind them will certainly target Wu Hongzhou, while I will be less guarded against and can seize the chance to escape."
"Fine, suit yourself."
Zhou Qianmo shook his head and said, "Remember, safety first, you are already the Zhou Family's only bloodline."
"Bloodline... haha... bloodline..."
Roger Sparrow sneered for a while, then fell into a strange silence. After a long time, he said, "If I die, the only one who can avenge Xiaomu would be you, old man. You remind me, better remind yourself."
"I can't move for now."
Zhou Qianmo sighed softly and said, "But you can rest assured, if you really die, no matter who kills you, I will ensure they pay the price."
"Hey, with these words, it proves you at least still consider me your son."
Roger said, "I'm leaving."
With that, his figure vanished.
"Transforming into thunder, if you don't die today, within three years, you will undoubtedly break through to the Upper Realm Returning to the Origin."
Zhou Qianmo let out a long sigh and murmured, "If you hadn't killed Xiaotong back then, Xiaotong would have been your best partner and most loyal guard. With him around, you wouldn't have ended up like this. You're my own son, I nurtured him all for you... yet you destroyed yourself out of jealousy and hatred."
A look of sorrow flashed in his eyes.
Knowing that after this incident, even if his son doesn't die, he will be fully wanted by the entire Great Xia Empire, and he will ultimately be unable to return to his side.
Meanwhile.
Xu Lingjun had already returned to his home.
Took out the Nourishing Essence Divine Pill.
A prompt appeared before him.
[Detected a medium item Nourishing Essence Divine Pill, would you like to imbue its real origin? Consumes 800 points of source value!]
At this moment, the source value was barely enough at 800 points.
Although Wu Hongzhou had shown sincerity, to be on the safe side, even though he already had backup plan one, two, three, and four, he still had to add another layer of insurance for himself.
Xu Lingjun chose to imbue the source.
There wasn't even much change; simply holding the elixir in his palm, he felt it slightly heavier.
But now, what he held in his hand was the supreme-quality Nourishing Essence Divine Pill.
How much more potent had the medicine become!?
This pill, Xu Lingjun had consulted Liu Zhiyuan about it, is a type of elixir that condenses innate primordial qi to the extreme and then crystallizes it.
Its effect is that once ingested, it strengthens the meridians, turning someone originally unsuitable for martial arts into a martial arts genius.
And a martial arts genius naturally refers to someone whose true qi generates particularly fast, and whose meridians are saturated with resilience... In a way, this elixir was exactly what Xu Lingjun needed, and even according to Liu Zhiyuan's evaluation, this elixir surpassed Xu Lingjun's bottle of Bone and Muscle Gene Enhancer.
Xu Lingjun raised his head and swallowed the elixir.
The powerful medicinal effect began to rampage the instant it entered his body, like a primordial torrent, the sky collapsing and the earth crumbling, the boundless efficacy fully erupted, only to be swiftly absorbed by the Infinite Divine Demon Body Refining Technique.
Though this efficacy was absorbed by the Infinite Divine Demon Body Refining Technique, it was like a pot of oil poured into water, not dissolving, but instead moving continuously along the flow of true qi, leaving a thin golden film on the inner wall of every meridian it passed.
Xu Lingjun circulated his true qi.
He could clearly feel his astonishing progress, but that was just the progress brought by regular cultivation, not the manifestation of the elixir's wonders, or rather, this elixir was not meant for immediate power increase, but to reinforce his foundation.
According to Han Qingxue's advice at the time, consuming this elixir would make one feel the intense soreness as the muscles were fortified, as if the body were floating in the air being continuously pummeled by a huge force, without pause, that unbearable feeling of sourness at the time, she endured it for two hours, ending up drenched in sweat, lacking even the strength to lift her legs.
But afterward, it felt like the door to a new world had opened, experiencing a completely different perspective of life.
Unfortunately, everything Han Qingxue described, Xu Lingjun didn't feel at all.
That is to say, my body, even with this Nourishing Essence Divine Pill, can no longer be enhanced, the Infinite Divine Demon Body Refining Technique has already strengthened me to the current limit, and it continues to enhance as my cultivation advances.
So when I consumed the Nourishing Essence Divine Pill, all its effects were used to strengthen my meridians.
Thus, the effect became even better.
Xu Lingjun could feel the operation of his vast sea of true qi becoming ever smoother, not because the sea itself became lighter, in fact, his true qi remained as boundless as a Huichuan ocean, but the channels were abruptly widened and reinforced.
Xu Lingjun understood that it was only because his body had already endured the ravaging of the Infinite Divine Demon Body Refining Technique that he felt nothing upon the entry of the Nourishing Essence Divine Pill... Han Qingxue's discomfort was because she was too tight, with no prior experience whatsoever.
Unlike Xu Lingjun, now experienced.
"With this, the Supreme Level Martial Skill Reversed Tao Qiankun, I should be able to barely execute it, right?"
Xu Lingjun thought, although trying to find a way to gather 1200 points of source value and then imbuing the Bone and Muscle Gene Enhancer to consume it would be more secure, but in this Imperial Capital, he couldn't find enough earth-shattering opportunities to gain source value, which all came too piecemeal.
To gather 1200 points of source value, there are only two ways: either spend nearly a month more in the Imperial Capital.
Or return to the Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion, let Jigsaw take action again, and engage in a game of repentance with the senior brothers and sisters who love plundering and seizing others' wealth unlawfully.
Thinking of this, Xu Lingjun felt an urge to return...
It seemed that aside from Sister Yaya, nothing else in the Imperial Capital was appealing anymore.
