Chapter 45 The Demon-Slaying Assembly at Zhongnan Mountain!
Chapter 45 The Demon-Slaying Assembly at Zhongnan Mountain!
Huang Yaoshi's hands trembled slightly as he took the bamboo tube filled with Li Ke's blood.
Thanks.
He felt deeply grateful, but Huang Yaoshi still wanted to thank Li Ke and was genuinely glad that he had made the decision to preserve his wife's body.
After all, if his wife's physical body decayed and turned into a pile of bones, it would be absolutely impossible to revive her.
If his wife were to drink Li Ke's blood at this moment, it might actually revive her body.
Although the resurrected body is merely a living vegetable, a living corpse, since the soul no longer exists.
But as long as his body is still alive, he has a chance to find his wife Feng Heng's soul and thus resurrect her!
Thinking about all this, Huang Yaoshi has decided to do everything he can to create a divine skill that involves the soul and can perceive the 'soul'!
If Li Ke knew this, he would be quite pleasantly surprised.
It's only because Huang Yaoshi was truly a martial arts prodigy that if he had devoted all his energy to developing such a divine skill, he might have actually succeeded.
If Huang Yaoshi truly succeeds, it will undoubtedly make up for Li Ke's shortcomings and open up a completely new direction for martial arts.
After all, the human body has three treasures: essence, qi, and spirit.
Humans are composed of three parts: soul, spirit, and body. Among these, the world of Jin Yong's martial arts novels has already achieved some success in terms of internal strength, physical strength, and spirit.
Needless to say, their foundation in various external and internal martial arts is already quite solid.
It refers to martial arts that involve the mental aspect.
It also includes the Soul Transfer Technique from the Nine Yin Manual, Elder Peng's Mind Control Technique from the Beggar Clan, and Li Qiushui's Soul Searching Technique through Sound Transmission, etc.
However, martial arts techniques related to the soul are extremely scarce among these, with not a single one available.
Perhaps they might have gained something from the Western Regions, since the concept of reincarnation is prevalent there.
After thousands of years of exploration and research, it is possible that they have indeed developed a divine skill manual involving the soul.
However, it is certain that none of Jin Yong's martial arts novels involve the soul; this is indeed a fact.
Therefore, martial arts techniques involving the soul may not actually exist.
The research findings from the Western Regions over the past thousand years are estimated to be martial arts techniques involving mental power, such as the Soul Transfer Technique, Mind Control Technique, and Soul Searching Technique through Sound Transmission.
For example, they were able to transmit their knowledge and memories through mental power, and change other people's personalities and perceptions.
Ultimately, how can one transform others into oneself, thereby achieving a form of "reincarnation" and becoming a living "living Buddha"?
However, these were all minor details, and Li Ke had no idea what Huang Yaoshi was thinking at the moment.
They didn't even consider that there might be divine manuals involving 'soul' or 'spiritual power' in the Western Regions or Tibet.
In the following time, Huang Yaoshi bid farewell and hurriedly returned to Peach Blossom Island.
Li Ke once again immersed himself in a busy and fulfilling training life.
It's a pity that Huang Yaoshi didn't teach him the "Blue Sea Tide Song" because he was focused on practicing the Finger Flicking Divine Skill.
Instead, he was made to learn the Finger Flicking Skill first, to avoid him trying to learn too much at once, and the Azure Sea Tide Melody was not taught to him at the same time.
Now that Huang Yaoshi has hurriedly returned to Peach Blossom Island, the "Azure Sea Tide Song" can no longer be taught.
If you want to learn the Azure Sea Tide Melody, you must wait until you see Huang Yaoshi again before bringing it up, so that Huang Yaoshi can make time to continue teaching you.
It's worth mentioning that Huang Rong also returned to Peach Blossom Island with her father.
After all, it concerned the momentous matter of their mother's resurrection, so both Huang Yaoshi and Huang Rong took it very seriously.
So, in the makeshift mountain stronghold with a few wooden houses, only five people remained: Li Ke, Guo Jing, Mu Nianci, Yang Tiexin, and Bao Xiruo.
Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, another ten days or so had gone by.
A month had passed since the Zhongdu incident, and Li Ke had already mastered the Finger Flicking Divine Skill, enough to apply it in actual combat.
However, they are not yet able to use oddly shaped objects such as flower petals, leaves, chopsticks, hairpins, and wine cups as projectiles, just like Huang Yaoshi.
Even so, applying the Finger Flicking Divine Skill to actual combat is no problem at all.
After all, using random things like flower petals, leaves, chopsticks, hairpins, and wine glasses as projectiles is mostly for show and has little practical value in combat.
If you really want to kill someone, it's best to use objects with a certain weight and hardness, such as lead bullets, iron bullets, or stones.
To this end, Li Ke also commissioned Yang Tiexin to purchase several hundred kilograms of refined lead blocks, and then used a miniature hundred-refined steel mold designed by Li Ke and crafted by a well-known craftsman.
Ultimately, using immense arm strength and internal force as an aid, they forcibly pressed the lead block into a pointed, stern-shaped lead bullet for use.
This pointed, boat-tail bullet was a classic bullet design in its previous life. Because of its good ballistic coefficient and excellent long-range performance, it was often used in sniper rifles.
When Li Ke uses it as a projectile, it can naturally reduce air resistance significantly, achieving a longer attack range and greater destructive effect.
According to Li Ke's actual measurements, the best effect of using small stones picked up from the riverbank as projectiles was to pierce the fur of a wild boar from 150 meters away and injure its internal organs.
Conversely, when using lead bullets with a pointed nose and stern shape as projectiles, more kinetic energy is retained because the pointed nose and stern shape has less air resistance.
He can pierce the fur of a wild boar from 350 meters away, damaging its internal organs, nearly doubling its killing range.
Furthermore, using lead bullets with a pointed nose and stern shape has a stealth advantage, which is due to the fact that lead bullets are relatively soft.
When it enters the enemy's body, especially when it hits hard bone tissue, the lead bullet will explode.
The extent of damage caused by the countless fragments of lead that exploded was a chilling question.
It's safe to say that once you're hit by a lead bullet like that, there's almost no chance of survival.
This is solely due to the cavity damage caused by the lead bullet exploding inside the body.
The secondary damage caused by the lead bullet exploding and turning into countless lead fragments that embed themselves in the flesh can be fatal.
After all, lead is toxic. When it explodes, countless small fragments of lead can pierce into the flesh and blood vessels.
Those lead fragments will flow through the bloodstream to the internal organs and brain, eventually causing lead poisoning and death.
This is the terrifying power of science combined with supernatural abilities. I wonder who will be able to enjoy the combined attack of the pointed stern bullet and the finger-flicking technique.
However, just as Li Ke was catching his breath, Yang Tiexin and Mu Nianci, who had returned from shopping for supplies that morning, brought him some terrible news.
"Young Master Li, all the major sects in the martial arts world have gathered at Zhongnan Mountain with their elite disciples, and have directly surrounded the Quanzhen Sect."
It is said that the Quanzhen Demonic Sect will be eradicated, and you, this scourge of the martial world, will be imprisoned…”
"Exterminate the Quanzhen Demonic Sect and imprison me, this scourge of the martial world?!"
Upon hearing this, Li Ke was slightly taken aback, but quickly understood what was going on, and immediately his killing intent surged.
