As An Immortal, I Only Learn Forbidden Skills

74 One for One

They were in a state of panic. An unknown enemy was lurking in the dark, and more than half of the Shi family had lost their ability to move.

“Get your weapons. Protect the others!”

Shi Jintai stood up, circulated his blood Qi, and looked around with sharp eyes. “Don’t panic. The fact that the other party is using such underhanded methods means that they are not as strong as us. They cannot fight us head-on.”

Even though he had the intention of calming them down, what he said made sense. Shi Junwei and the other martial artists calmed down a little upon hearing this and quickly went to move their families.

“Shi Junming” also started to move. He placed his long blade on his waist and helped to move a family member. When he turned around, he walked to the side of Shi Jintai and muttered, “When I went to the toilet just now, I think I saw someone.”

“What? Where?” Shi Jintai lost his focus.

At this moment, a terrifying aura burst out from “Shi Junming” as he unsheathed his blade and slashed it toward Shi Jintai’s face.

The Blood-Burning Saber Technique exploded instantly!

“You!” Shi Jintai’s expression changed drastically. He did not have time to block with his weapon, so he could only raise his arms and cover his body with blood Qi to resist the blade.

The long blade collided with his body, and a terrifying sound burst out. A layer of the surrounding turf was blown away.

A figure coughed violently and staggered back involuntarily, leaving a trail of blood on the ground.

“Father!”

“Master!”

Only then did the people of the Shi family react and rush to the side of the man who was retreating. It was the head of the Shi family, Shi Jintai.

A first-class martial artist was actually forced back by a single strike. Although he was already injured, it was enough to show how powerful the enemy was.

Blood trickled down the corner of Shi Jintai’s mouth. He looked at his bloodied arms and stared at the person in front of him in shock and anger. “Who are you?”

Shi Junwei and the rest also looked at “Shi Junming” in shock. They felt a chill run down their spines. Who exactly was this family member that had escaped with them for so long?

Everyone activated their blood Qi and stared at the gentle-looking young man in anticipation.

Only now, when they took a closer look, did they realize that this person looked very similar to Shi Junming. However, there were still many minute differences. It was just that no one had noticed it just now.

“As expected of a first-class martial artist, you didn’t die after taking my blade!”

“Shi Junming” did not attack anymore and laughed.

Internally, he marveled at the power of the Blood-Burning Saber Technique. It could indeed take on a first-class martial artist.

“Who are you? Why don’t you reveal your true face?” Shi Jintai shouted in a deep voice, but he was secretly recovering his blood Qi.

“Okay, fine.”

His face slowly changed, revealing a fierce-looking face. “I, Zhang Shan, am here today to send off the Shi family!”

“Zhang Shan!”

Everyone from the Shi family exclaimed in shock. Their eyes were filled with anger. The Shi family despised Zhang Shan. The Qinghe Tower murder case shocked Great Cloud City, but they did not manage to catch Zhang Shan, causing the Shi family to look stupid.

“Shi Quannian was also killed by you, right? As well as Chief Zhang of the Green Mountain Army.” Shi Jintai suddenly opened his mouth and stared coldly at Zhang Shan.

Jiang Ming laughed, “And what about it? Today, I, Zhang Shan, will get rid of the Shi family, the biggest threat to Great Cloud City! If you have any last words, say them now.”

“You’re just stalling for time to calm your blood Qi!” Shi Jintai suddenly exclaimed and stared at Jiang Ming with a faint smile, “A second-class martial artist can perform the Blood-Burning Saber Technique without any fear, but there is a price. Even a Grandmaster wouldn’t be able to withstand such a consumption of Blood Qi!”

“Smart!” Jiang Ming looked at Shi Jintai with appreciation, “You can actually see that I’m stalling for time. But are you not the same? How’s it going? Is your blood Qi recovering?”

“What do you mean?” Shi Jintai’s expression changed slightly, but after a moment, he turned pale with fright. “My blood Qi…! Why is it flowing away?”

Jiang Ming nodded secretly. This was a new powder that he had developed this year. It could make people who were hit by it consume their blood Qi several times faster when they activated their blood Qi. It seemed that it was effective on first-class martial artists as well.

“Don’t activate your blood Qi!” Shi Jintai was indeed a veteran. He quickly reacted and shouted.

Everyone stopped in their tracks, but Shi Junwei’s expression changed. “But if I don’t activate my blood Qi, the power of the knockout powder will seep into my body…”

Before he could finish her sentence, his body went limp, and he fell to the ground. The others did the same.

Shi Jintai’s eyes were filled with hatred as he stared at Jiang Ming, “It seems that I will not be able to escape this calamity today!”

He was already seriously injured. In addition, he had just used his body to resist the Blood-Burning Saber Technique. Now, his internal injuries were getting worse. Even if Jiang Ming did not kill him, he would not live for long.

“Even if I die, you must live! Junwei, don’t do anything!” Shi Jintai gritted his teeth. An aura that Jiang Ming was very familiar with burst out from his body.

“This is my Blood-Burning Saber Technique. Will you be able to take it?” Shi Jintai was furious, and his whole body was covered with blood Qi. He suddenly screamed and slashed at Jiang Ming with his blade.

Jiang Ming was not surprised. Although the Blood-Burning Saber Technique was a forbidden technique, it was not difficult for the Shi family to get it.

“Master!” everyone from the Shi family exclaimed. In their master’s current state, using the Blood-Burning Saber Technique was no different from seeking death.

Many people had tears in their eyes. The family head was using his life to fight for theirs.

The eyes of Shi Junwei and the others were red, but they did not dare activate their blood Qi anymore. They still had a long way to go. If they were to be exhausted here, the sacrifice of the family head would be in vain.

Moreover, even if they participated in a battle of this level, they would not be able to change anything. They might even hold back the master of the family.

Jiang Ming did not hesitate and used the Blood-Burning Saber Technique again to resist.

With a loud bang, the two long blades shattered. Jiang Ming was immediately blasted away, and his blood spurted out like a fountain.

“Alright, again!” With a desperate posture, he jumped up from the ground and used his fist as a blade. He activated the Blood-Burning Saber Technique again and charged forward without fear of death.

Shi Jintai’s eyes were red with murderous intent as he rushed toward Jiang Ming. However, he could not activate the Blood-Burning Saber Technique again, and his power dropped a lot.

Their fists collided, and for a time, it was difficult to tell who was stronger. They fought all the way into the nearby forest, and the ancient trees and mountain rocks were all razed to the ground.

However, the more he hit Shi Jintai, the more he felt that something was wrong. He had thought that Zhang Shan’s strength would drop greatly after using the Blood-Burning Saber Technique twice.

That was indeed the case. The more Zhang Shan hit, the more wounds he had on his body.

However, Shi Jintai was already exhausted. The tottering Zhang Shan on the opposite side did not fall.

“Why aren’t you dead yet?” Shi Jintai’s furious roar, coupled with his injuries, caused him to spit out a large mouthful of blood and his aura to weaken.

...

“It’s almost time!” Jiang Ming stared at the expression of Shi Jintai and confirmed that he was really at the end of his life.

He glanced in the direction he came from. No one from the Shi family followed.

His heightened perception was triggered at this moment, and his fist was covered in blood. The Blood-Burning Saber Technique Force burst out at full force!

A fist ruthlessly smashed into Shi Jintai’s waist!

Even the body of a first-class martial artist was smashed by this punch. His bones were exposed, and his intestines and internal organs were all over the ground.

Shi Jintai stared at Jiang Ming in shock and made an inexplicable sound. However, he could not say a word and fell to the ground with a plop, dead as a doornail.

Jiang Ming frowned. He was still worried and gave another heavy blow to the head of Shi Jintai’s corpse, shattering it into pieces. Only then did he feel relieved.

He chuckled. Although there were various factors, he, Jiang Ming, had killed a first-class martial artist in any case.
