Great Li Martial God

Li Musheng’s five fingers formed a claw, grasping at the void. The sound of metal clashing rang out between heaven and earth. It was as if thousand-pound chains manifested in the void before his fingers, transforming into invisible shackles that sealed and confined Su Changqing’s meridians, tendons, bones, and flesh throughout his body.

In an instant, points of azure light bloomed at Su Changqing’s acupoints, and his meridian pathways clearly emerged like flowing radiance.

Then, Li Musheng pointed lightly from a distance. In one instant there were countless afterimages, as if he had struck out hundreds or thousands of finger strikes, yet also as if he had only made two strikes.

One finger was like cutting off the Milky Way, reversing blood energy. One finger was like binding dragon tendons, gathering energy and condensing essence.

The true qi of heaven and earth around them instantly solidified. Under Su Changqing’s disbelieving gaze, wisps of crimson-gold intertwined fire light and blood mist slowly emerged from his heart.

The Qilin Blood that had originally been circulating within his body was extracted at a visible speed, ultimately condensing into a mass of blood wreathed in crimson-gold firelight.

Li Musheng gently opened his palm, and the crimson-gold blood fell into his hand.

The Qilin Blood before him was like burning, scalding magma, scorching the air until it twisted and wavered, emanating extreme heat that seemed capable of melting metal and transforming stone.

Li Musheng raised his eyes to glance at Su Changqing, lightly raising an eyebrow.

One had to say this person was also talented. Swallowing this Qilin Blood was probably even harder than swallowing red-hot iron. It was impressive he could endure it. No wonder he ended up in this neither-human-nor-ghost appearance.Thinking of this, Li Musheng shook his head and paid him no further attention. Instead, he began observing and studying the Qilin Blood in his hand.

Of course, eating this thing himself was absolutely impossible.

This substance was completely different from the blood of any normal living creature. It was also hard to imagine what kind of creature could have such high-temperature liquid flowing through its body like molten iron.

However, this martial arts world was extraordinary to begin with. Perhaps there really did exist the so-called divine beast Fire Qilin?

Li Musheng stroked his chin. With a thought, a golden vortex emerged from his palm and he began attempting to absorb the Qilin Blood in his hand into his body.

Immediately after, an incomparably violent force began to grow within Li Musheng’s body. It quickly became like a surging flood, rampaging through the meridians and acupoints within his body.

In an instant, a layer of crimson firelight appeared on Li Musheng’s skin. His entire person seemed to be wrapped and burned by rolling flames.

Just at this moment, wild, unrestrained laughter suddenly rang out.

Su Changqing, who had originally been ignored by Li Musheng, suddenly erupted without warning. His single fist gathered incomparably terrifying true qi of heaven and earth as he launched a surprise attack, bombarding down toward Li Musheng’s heart.

”Boy, you dare to devour the Qilin Blood right in front of me! You’re simply seeking death!”

Su Changqing’s face, covered in rotting flesh, was full of vicious expression. After no longer needing to suppress the Qilin Blood, he had now recovered the strength of a Heaven-Human Realm martial arts expert.

Although he was clear that Li Musheng’s martial arts cultivation was powerful, he was confident that during the period when the other party needed to deal with the Qilin Blood, he was almost no different from a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

Even if this punch of his couldn’t kill Li Musheng, severely injuring him would be no problem whatsoever.

However, in the next moment, Su Changqing suddenly froze completely. His entire figure had only charged halfway through the air when it suddenly solidified motionlessly, as if instantly losing all strength.

At some unknown time, a bloody hole had appeared in his forehead. The fist he had gripped hadn’t even struck out, yet his own life force was rapidly draining away.

Soon after, his entire person fell straight down toward the ground.

From beginning to end, Su Changqing had never imagined why Li Musheng, who should have been like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, could strike out and kill him with one move.

At this moment, Li Musheng glanced indifferently at Su Changqing’s corpse, then turned his head to look at Han Meiyan in the distance.

At this time, she was still just keeping her head lowered, maintaining an appearance of seemingly having seen nothing, completely without presence.

Even after previously seeing Li Musheng devour the Qilin Blood, Han Meiyan still didn’t seem to have any intention of making a move, and didn’t even try to escape.

”You just ate the Qilin Blood like that?”

At this moment, Li Yuanling leaped over from the distance.

Just now when she saw Su Changqing suddenly launch a surprise attack, she had gotten a terrible fright. She immediately rushed over wanting to stop him, but before she was even halfway there, she discovered that Su Changqing had just died straight away like that.

Seeing this, Li Yuanling knew that her formidable sworn brother had no need for her help at all.

However, she was still very curious that after Li Musheng ”swallowed” the Qilin Blood, he seemed completely fine.

At this moment, Li Musheng glanced at her leisurely and said, ”Sworn sister, seeing how urgently you rushed over, are you blaming me for not sharing a bit with you?”

Hearing this, Li Yuanling instinctively looked at Su Changqing’s corpse covered in rotting flesh. She immediately shook her head like a rattle drum, saying, ”I didn’t say that! Don’t harm me!”

Li Musheng chuckled, then focused his attention on the constantly rampaging Qilin Blood within his body.

Although the power of the Qilin Blood was violent, it couldn’t cause him the slightest harm. That seemingly astonishing high-temperature firelight never damaged even a single hair on his body.

On the contrary, the power of the Qilin Blood was rapidly fusing into his body.

Before long, the firelight on Li Musheng’s body surface dissipated, and his eyes lit up.

During this period, Li Musheng had completely absorbed the power within the Qilin Blood into his body.

He discovered that the power contained within this Qilin Blood was completely different from martial arts true qi. This seemed to be a very special type of ”energy.”

Although it still didn’t provide any improvement to his martial arts cultivation, it had imperceptibly improved his own body, including his root bone aptitude as well as his tendons, bones, and flesh.

Of course, this change was extremely minute, so much so that it could be completely ignored. But for Li Musheng, it still counted as at least a tiny bit of improvement.

”Not bad, not bad. This thing is actually truly useful.”

Li Musheng nodded slowly, then revealed a contemplative expression.

One must know that each person’s root bone aptitude was innate. There were almost no miraculous pills or medicines in the world that could alter it.

But this Qilin Blood was an exception. This thing could not only enhance root bones, but could also subtly strengthen bloodlines. Even for Li Musheng, who had already reached the absolute peak of martial arts, it wasn’t a useless item.

Thinking this, Li Musheng stroked his chin.

Having only this much Qilin Blood was still far from enough. It fundamentally couldn’t create any substantial change or improvement for him.

If he could obtain more Qilin Blood, or simply find that legendary divine beast Fire Qilin and absorb it entirely...

He might truly have a chance to use this to find a path to transcend martial arts.

Thinking of this, Li Musheng’s eyes brightened slightly. After the Tianqi Secret Treasury, he had finally found another possible path to martial arts transcendence.

Although the divine beast Fire Qilin was somewhat illusory and ethereal, and no one seemed to have ever found it until now...

But since Qilin Blood had flowed out, then the divine beast Fire Qilin should logically exist.
