Chapter 29 Six-Pulse Divine Sword
Immediately afterwards, the entry for "unfathomable" in Lu Yuan's mind lit up slightly.
The effect is triggered instantly.
New entry: [Martial Arts: Six Meridian Divine Sword]: A lost martial art of the Duan family of Nanzhao. It allows the user to transform their internal energy into invisible sword energy, injuring opponents from a distance. Its power increases with the user's cultivation level.
"Martial arts terms?"
Since Lu Yuan awakened his cheat ability,
Lu Yuan's first awakening was marked with the term "martial arts".
[Host: Lu Yuan]
[Martial Arts Realm: Late Stage of Body Tempering]
Martial Arts Techniques: Rock-Shattering Palm (Minor Mastery), Azure Wind Step (Advanced Mastery), Six Meridian Divine Sword (Beginner)
[Martial Arts: Six Meridian Divine Sword]
Before Lu Yuan could even think about it...
A flood of unfamiliar memories rushed into his mind.
That was a memory of spiritual practice that did not belong to him.
This includes the angle of the finger techniques, the path of internal force from the dantian to the fingertips, and the subtle vibrations caused by compression between the finger bones...
It was as if he had been practicing this skill for many years.
"It seems that redefining others' understanding not only grants talent attributes but also provides a chance to directly inherit martial arts techniques?"
So, will the goal of redefining our understanding in the future be limited to talent alone?
He suppressed the shock in his heart and brought his thoughts back to the method of channeling energy into his sea of consciousness using the Six Meridians Divine Sword.
They discovered that they couldn't perform it.
Why?
Only then did Lu Yuan notice the three prominent characters following the Six Meridians Divine Sword...
"Not yet a beginner? ...Does it require internal energy?"
It was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over Lu Yuan's head.
"Damn! Looks like I really need to break through to the Blood Condensation Realm as soon as possible!"
Seeing that there was no more information to extract from the two assassins, he bent his thumb, and an invisible burst of energy shot out.
The burly assassin had a thin, bloody hole in his throat, and another assassin followed suit.
Having dealt with the assassin, Lu Yuan quickly turned and rushed to Qin Zhao's side.
She lay in a pile of fallen leaves, her face pale, with a trace of blood still clinging to the corner of her mouth.
Lu Yuan gently helped her up.
He checked her breathing.
She was still breathing, but very weakly.
Old Huang walked over and placed his hand on Qin Zhao's pulse.
A surge of powerful internal energy flowed into her meridians.
Lu Yuan didn't speak, but waited quietly.
After a short while, Lao Huang withdrew his hand.
"Her condition has stabilized. The opponent didn't use their full strength and didn't hit any vital organs. She might be unconscious for a while."
Lu Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He gently laid Qin Zhao down, stood up, and looked at Old Huang.
After hesitating for a moment, he finally spoke.
"Old Huang, in my memory, my mother had no relation to the Duan family of Nanzhao."
"Is my mother... really from the Nanzhao Kingdom, as they say?"
Old Huang's answer was straightforward, without the slightest hesitation.
"Of course not."
Lu Yuan then asked, "According to them, I just used the Six Meridians Divine Sword, a lost martial art of the Duan family... Aren't you surprised?"
Old Huang's eyes were fixed on Lu Yuan, his voice flat and indifferent.
"Young Master Yuan is too kind. Although this old servant does not know how Young Master Yuan manages to project his energy, this is definitely not the Six Meridians Divine Sword..."
"The Six Meridians Divine Sword I saw before wasn't like this..."
Old Huang changed the subject and added, "However, Young Master Yuan's move, when the opponent is off guard... could indeed produce unexpected results."
Does it have to be when we're caught off guard?
Lu Yuan was somewhat taken aback.
At the same time, it also aroused greater curiosity about Lao Huang's past.
The assassin had clearly never seen the Six Meridians Divine Sword before.
But according to Lao Huang, he had obviously met him before.
...
Just then, a voice broke Lu Yuan's thoughts.
"Zhao'er!"
Qin Lie strode out of the woods, followed by several guards from the city lord's mansion.
He didn't look at the corpses of the two assassins at the Meridian Opening Realm.
Without even glancing at Lu Yuan and Lao Huang, he rushed straight to Qin Zhao and squatted down beside him.
He reached out and felt for her pulse on her wrist.
Lu Yuan and Lao Huang tactfully stepped aside and moved to the side.
Qin Lie's fingers lingered on Qin Zhao's wrist for a moment, and his tense shoulders slowly relaxed.
He picked up Qin Zhao, stood up, and looked at Lu Yuan.
That look in his eyes was very complicated.
It's not anger.
It wasn't gratitude either.
It was a kind of restraint that Lu Yuan couldn't quite understand.
"You know how Zhao'er feels about you."
Qin Lie's voice was deep, and each word seemed to have been carefully considered before he spoke it.
"To tell you the truth, she's already engaged."
Lu Yuan stood with his hands hanging down, his expression calm.
Qin Zhao was still unconscious. The bloodstains at the corner of his mouth had been wiped clean by Lao Huang, leaving only a dark red stain on his collar.
"If you truly care about her... or if you're mindful of the little bit of kindness she showed you..."
"From now on, stay away from her."
Qin Lie looked at him.
"You and she are ultimately from two different worlds."
After saying this, Qin Lie carried Qin Zhao away from the woods without looking back.
Lu Yuan stood there, watching Qin Lie's figure disappear into the depths of the night.
He looked down at his hands.
Two worlds?
maybe.
He made a self-deprecating joke.
Once you embark on the path of martial arts, you'll only make more and more enemies.
You can reach the Meridian Opening Realm today, but what about tomorrow...?
Qin Lie is right. Staying away from her might be the best outcome.
He turned and walked out of the woods, with Old Huang following behind him. They walked in silence for a while before Lu Yuan suddenly spoke.
"Old Huang."
"This old servant is here."
"Go back and recover."
.....
When Lu Yuan passed by Zhuque Avenue, it was still early.
He heard that familiar voice again.
"This is it! This is where it happened that day!"
A little girl, about seven or eight years old, stood in the middle of the street, pointing with her tiny finger to several deep ruts in the pavement...
Those were the marks left by Lu Yuan when he stopped the Crimson Blood Horse with one hand that day.
The little girl, wearing a faded floral dress, was looking up and talking to the man next to her.
"That brother suddenly rushed out!" she gestured excitedly.
"Father, do you know what? He pulled with one hand! Just like that... and the horse stopped!"
She imitated Lu Yuan, extending her little fist and waving it in the air, almost causing herself to stumble.
The man bent over to listen to her speak, and couldn't help but chuckle when he heard this part.
He reached out and pulled her closer to him.
The man was only in his forties, with a thick beard and a burly build.
He was wearing a drab gray robe with frayed edges on the cuffs.
His face was somewhat rough, and there was an old scar on his forehead.
But the way he looked at the little girl was incredibly gentle.
"It's all Father's fault for not making it in time."
He patted the little girl's head.
"Now that Dad's back, he's not leaving again."
"You always say that, and in the end, only Grandma and I are left..."
The girl was silent for a moment, but couldn't help asking the question.
"This time... is it for real?"
"Really." The man affectionately pinched the girl's cheek.
"Daddy would never lie to Yaya..."
Lu Yuan paused for a moment.
He recognized the little girl... Suzaku Street...
The father and daughter were talking when the little girl suddenly turned her head.
Her eyes were bright, and she spotted Lu Yuan standing on the street corner, also watching her.
She paused for a moment, then grabbed the man's sleeve and shook it hard.
"Dad! It's that older brother!"
