Chapter 38 Invincible people are often freaks!
"What the hell are you playing at!"
In the snowy forest, the Five Poison Child, who had been lying in wait, looked at his palm, which was tinged with emerald green, with a gloomy expression. He had removed the silver bracelet from his wrist and rolled up his sleeves to his elbows, revealing a thin, bony arm. The emerald green poison gas had already invaded the middle of his forearm.
He never expected that simply going to cure Xin Jian's poison would result in the two poisons mixing together and their antidotes, creating a new poison!
The crucial point is that the poison wasn't on Xin Jian's body, but rather it had gotten onto his hands...
Negative!
This Wei Wu is incredibly cunning!
The Five Poison Child's face was so distorted that he was almost unrecognizable. He cursed loudly, but after cursing, he hesitated about whether to cut off his own hand.
Should we send him to Wei Wu to ask for the antidote?
Such a choice would never exist, and even if it did, he would never make it.
People in the martial arts world strive for fame and fortune, and Wu Du Tong Zi was one of them. His favorite thing to do was to use his uncanny poisoning skills to kill those who had offended him, and to enjoy their despair and disbelief before they died.
Now that this method has fallen into his hands, the Five Poison Child admits defeat, but he will never admit defeat!
"laugh--!"
With a swift movement, the Five Poison Child wielded his knife, and most of an arm fell to the ground, blood gushing out.
Despite the excruciating pain, he gritted his teeth and remained silent, pressing several acupoints to stop the bleeding, applying wound medicine and other prepared medications, and using his teeth to bandage the wound. The Five Poison Child was already soaked as if he had been pulled out of the water.
Only then did he notice the arm that had fallen to the ground.
The arm was completely emerald green, with a bluish hue. From a distance, it looked like some rare jade, but it was actually a deadly poisonous bone!
In the short time it took to bandage it, the flesh and blood on the entire arm had completely rotted away, leaving only the green leaves covering the entire bone.
Seeing this, the Five Poison Child's already ugly face became even uglier—if he had been soft-hearted and hadn't cut off a piece, the poison might have reached his heart, and then even a god couldn't save him.
"Cao Cao! What a fine Cao Cao!"
He gritted his teeth, the words he squeezed out carrying a chilling aura. He turned his gaze to the mountain god temple, saw Wei Wu who had not yet set off, let out a heavy sigh, and turned to disappear into the forest.
Two more days, and the drug war is far from over!
……
"We still have two days to go. We can use the snow to melt water, but our dry rations won't last. If we go hungry for two days, we'll probably become weak. If the Five Poison Boys use force and summon the Blissful Insects again, it could cause considerable casualties."
"There's a town ahead, and it's crowded. Surely the Five Poison Child can't poison everyone in the town, can he?"
Xue Yingzi announced his retirement from the martial arts world, but due to the bet, he still had to travel with the team. The Shaolin monks were taking care of Xin Jian and Qin Zhong, and Wei Wu did not interfere in these matters, so he could only let Xue Yingzi take charge of the team.
Upon hearing Xue Yingzi's words, Wei Wu gave a light "hmm," squinted, and gazed into the distance, where he could see the outline of the town. He nodded and said:
"Then let's go to town and take a look."
He stretched his arms and said, "Don't worry, even if you're poisoned, I can cure you."
Xue Yingzi forced a smile.
They also knew that, due to the rules of the contest, Wei Wu would do his best to cure the Five Poison Boys' poison.
But no one dared to bet that Wei Wu would definitely be able to cure the Five Poison Child's poison!
What's more difficult to say is whether Wei Wu, for the sake of a bet, might see through the Five Poison Boys' method of poisoning, just like he did at the Mountain God Temple, and then deliberately watch them get poisoned before trying to cure them.
They felt this was highly likely.
So I had to be extra careful the whole way, and I didn't even dare to breathe too freely.
The carriage is still there, but it has been given to Lin Xian'er and Sun Xiaohong, the two daughters.
Sun Baifa insisted on pulling Wei Wu out of the carriage for a walk, while explaining some martial arts levels to him.
Wei Wu relied on a cheat code to "enter" the cultivation field. Fortunately, he had good talent, and even though he was working behind closed doors, he only took a year to cultivate Wang Lianhua's Lianhua Treasure Mirror.
Now, with the nearly mastered Little Li Flying Dagger, he believes his understanding of martial arts is quite profound.
But as soon as Sun Baifa spoke, Wei Wu knew what it meant to have an elder in the family, as a treasure.
"Martial arts, martial arts, martial arts comes before skill, but skill is the foundation. No matter how well you practice martial arts, it is just a skillful external technique. Without the support of skill, it is just a showy display."
"Your martial arts are good, and your internal skills are even stronger. Logically speaking, there's nothing I can teach you, but as we've come this far, this old man suddenly feels there's something I should say."
"Your martial arts are unconventional, so don't rush to refute it. You have a wide range of knowledge and want to learn everything. With your talent, you can naturally learn anything."
But you shouldn't hold onto every single one of them!
Your palm strikes are powerful, and you have mastered various palm techniques with great skill. Each palm technique has its own unique internal energy.
Your poison skills are exquisite and difficult to defend against, but they rely on poisons rather than the power of poison itself, so there's no need to say more.
Your throwing knives are incredibly sharp and skillful. Even if Li Xunhuan were standing here, I would be certain that given time, you would be no less skilled than him.
But in each subject you went to the "extreme."
"You've only practiced martial arts, but you're missing a cohesive 'skill,' a core principle. You're like a bunch of scattered soldiers without a 'general,' without a 'king'!"
Sun Baifa, with a jade cigarette holder dangling from his lips, squinted his old eyes, yet a sharp glint swept across his eyelids. "Right now, you're like a venomous insect growing inside your body. You can easily suppress every martial art, but as you practice more and more, and as you delve deeper into it, your internal strength will grow stronger, and the power of each martial art will also increase, causing them to hinder each other."
Your skills will actually regress instead of improve.
"Why are we, Shangguan Jin Hong, Li Xun Huan, and Guo Song Yang all only obsessed with one martial art? Is it because we are not talented enough?"
No!
Human energy is limited. No matter how amazing your talent is, it is impossible to master every martial art. Therefore, we specialize in "one".
You can easily practice to the extreme and embark on your own "path".
"But you..."
"My way is 'wholeness'."
Wei Wu suddenly interrupted Sun Baifa's rambling, stretched out his hand, and clenched his five fingers into a fist: "You're right. The martial arts I want to practice, I can master one after another and easily achieve great success."
But since they are all my martial arts, they will naturally be used by me. What general? What king?
It's all bullshit!
Wei Wu's face was expressionless. As he spread his five fingers, a burst of true energy shot out, the palm wind striking three zhang away and hitting a tree at the edge of the forest. The tree immediately trembled, and its bark, trunk, and branches turned grayish-black in a very short time. With a "crack," it shattered into pieces and fell into the snow.
But Sun Baifa could see that after the palm struck the tree, several tiny air holes splattered out and hit trees not far away.
Palm techniques, poison, hidden weapons...
Wei Wu so easily combined three different types of martial arts, and soon teeth marks appeared on the jade cigarette holder in Sun Baifa's mouth. His brows furrowed high, and his gaze towards Wei Wu became more complicated.
He sighed inwardly:
"Deep affection is short-lived, and extreme intelligence is bound to bring harm! A true gentleman cultivates himself with humility."
"Such talent and ability are truly rare. Even the ancient Bodhidharma and Zhang Zhenren of Wudang were probably no more than this. However, with such a strong personality, he will become invincible in the martial arts world in three to five years. What will he do then?"
The most invincible person is the loneliest.
Lonely people are often prone to becoming abnormal!
