Chapter 51 Absorbing
Chi!
Sword energy gathered and descended from the sky, slashing directly at the golden bell-shaped shield that was condensing and emitting a faint golden light.
With a loud "bang," the Golden Bell Shield vibrated.
Then a clear crack appeared on it, and it began to spread like a spider web.
Ok?
Sure enough, no matter how much internal energy there was, it was impossible to block a sword strike infused with true qi by simply stacking it up.
It's still a bit of a stretch!
However, with the Golden Bell Shield at its maximum level, Li Xiuyuan now has a more accurate understanding of true qi.
"Um?"
Seeing that his sword strike had failed to tear through Li Xiuyuan's protective shield, Lin Heng couldn't help but tremble, staring at Li Xiuyuan in astonishment.
I was shocked.
How is that possible?
It should be noted that he used ninety percent of his power in this sword strike. In the eyes of Lin Heng, who is currently at the peak of the sixth rank, let alone a seventh-rank martial artist who has not yet cultivated true qi.
Even if they are of the same level, they must avoid the sharp edge of my sword!
There are too many strange things about this child. It is definitely not just the ability that the technique that can devour other people's internal energy gave him. Could it be that Shangguan Xiuhong left her son other powerful techniques back then?
Upon thinking of this, Lin Heng's eyes suddenly trembled.
He once again circulated all his true energy, gathering it on the longsword in his hand.
"Again?"
At this moment, Li Xiuyuan naturally sensed that the elder of the Lin family was about to use his full strength.
After all, these people had wanted to capture him alive in order to obtain the "Absorption Technique".
But this Lin family elder in front of me is different. The seventh-rank Lin family guard commander that I just slapped to death in order to meet the requirements for the maximum level of the "Three Thousand Wave Palm" seems to be the son of this elder who is now furious and looking at me with hatred in his eyes.
Moreover, Li Xiuyuan also noticed something.
Many people don't actually know about the "Absorption Technique." They only know that their mother left behind a mysterious technique that can absorb the opponent's power.
It seems the Shangguan family has done a very good job of keeping this technique a secret!
In fact, almost everyone outside the family believed that this technique was the most mysterious and secret technique of the Shangguan family.
It is the family's biggest secret!
The reason Shangguan Xiuhong betrayed her family back then was because of this martial arts technique, and it was precisely because of this that some of the characteristics of this technique were leaked.
It seems that once I've cultivated my true qi and become stronger, I'll have to make sure the higher-ups in the Shangguan family explain this matter to me clearly.
But for now...
I've already maxed out the Golden Bell Shield skill, so there's no need to play with these people anymore.
Lingering any longer will only be detrimental to yourself!
Almost as Lin Heng was continuously channeling his true energy into his longsword, preparing to strike him again.
The golden bell shield surrounding Li Xiuyuan shattered with a "hum".
Like lightning, Li Xiuyuan dashed into the crowd in one step.
He swung his longsword.
Several sharp sword energies immediately injured and knocked down the surrounding martial artists.
One of them was so close that he was sliced in half at the waist by the sword energy.
"Kid...it's too late to run now!"
With so many of us surrounding you, I don't believe you can absorb all of everyone's power. You'd be bursting at the seams!
"All of you, charge! There are so many of us, let's overwhelm him!"
Lin Heng turned around, roared, and brought his sword down on Li Xiuyuan.
Unlike before, Li Xiuyuan didn't try to take the hit head-on this time; his figure became a blur.
"Is that so? You can try and see if I, Li Xiuyuan, can drain you all dry today! Hahaha..."
Li Xiuyuan dodged the sword strike, and as he spoke, he grabbed the head of an eighth-rank martial artist and laughed heartily.
A steady stream of pure internal energy flowed into Li Xiuyuan's dantian.
Now that the Golden Bell Shield has reached its maximum level, Li Xiuyuan's physical strength has increased once again.
The energy in his dantian meridians was already nearing saturation after being absorbed so intensely throughout the night.
However, to truly cultivate true qi, simply having sufficient internal energy is not enough.
When the dantian meridians can no longer contain the energy, it will naturally begin to compress within the dantian's energy center.
Thus, true energy is condensed!
As he moved about, Li Xiuyuan would occasionally reach out and grab.
A series of violent and raging hurricanes erupted at the end of the street.
In an instant, sand and stones flew everywhere, and countless sword and blade lights flashed, accompanied by cries of terror, screams, and roars.
Before long, Li Xiuyuan was already standing on the rooftop not far away.
Looking at the guards and city guards wailing all over the ground.
Li Xiuyuan took a deep breath, his brows furrowed as he forcefully suppressed the terrifying stinging pain emanating from his dantian and meridians.
"this……"
"Li Xiuyuan, you..."
At this moment, the two people still standing in the group stared in astonishment at Li Xiuyuan standing on the roof.
Apart from the person Li Xiuyuan killed at the beginning and the people accidentally injured by the two sixth-rank martial artists later, Li Xiuyuan did not kill anyone else.
Although Li Xiuyuan did not kill anyone, he did something even more unacceptable than murder.
That meant that all the martial artists below the sixth rank who had come to track them down had their internal energy drained.
"Li Xiuyuan...you're not leaving today! Get down here..."
Lin Heng was now disheveled and in a sorry state.
It wasn't because he was no match for Li Xiuyuan, but because he had just attacked several times, yet he hadn't managed to injure Li Xiuyuan in the slightest.
Not only that, but he also lost his patience in anger and seriously injured many martial artists, including some of the Lin family guards he had brought with him.
And Li Xiuyuan actually absorbed all the internal energy of all the martial artists below the sixth rank present.
With one side gaining and the other losing, Lin Heng was extremely frustrated, furious, and on the verge of a mental breakdown!
Seeing Li Xiuyuan standing on the rooftop, Lin Heng roared angrily, his true energy surging on his longsword as he slashed down at Li Xiuyuan's location.
Suddenly, the sword energy condensed into a giant sword aura.
With a "boom," the sword energy tore the roof open, and broken tiles flew everywhere with a "bang" and a "whoosh," scattering all over the ground.
Li Xiuyuan had already flashed to a higher rooftop.
He looked coldly at the enraged Lin Heng and sneered:
"Lin Heng, I'll remember you. When I finally ascend to the Lin family's throne, you'll be the first person I kill!"
"You brat, die!"
With his sword missing its mark, Lin Heng stomped his foot and his figure and the long sword in his hand transformed into a sharp light, striking the rooftop where Li Xiuyuan was again.
"Boom..."
The sound of a shattering tile immediately drew countless figures to the end of the street.
"Trying to leave, Li Xiuyuan? Today, I, Lin Heng, will kill you!"
At this moment, Lin Heng, who had gone completely mad, slashed down with his long sword, creating a hurricane around him, and disappeared from the spot in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, the city guard commander, standing among a large group of martial artists whose internal energy had been drained, looked with complicated emotions in the direction where Li Xiuyuan and Lin Heng had disappeared.
Thinking back to what just happened.
He almost witnessed his entire squad of city guards being instantly drained of their life force right in front of him.
The terrifying nature of this technique was beyond his comprehension.
Although he had heard some terrifying rumors about the Shangguan family's mysterious martial arts technique before.
But to his surprise, it was all true.
Li Xiuyuan is currently only a seventh-rank official.
This divine skill may not be able to absorb those who have cultivated true qi.
But once Li Xiuyuan cultivates true qi...
I dared not think any further; I broke out in a cold sweat.
At that moment, several figures flew rapidly toward him.
It was already broad daylight when he spotted Commander Zhu Shan. He quickly composed himself and strode forward...
