The First Master of the First Volume Wulin Chapter 97 Between Life and Death

  "Red Line Snake King?" Ye Wen had never heard of this title before, but almost in the blink of an eye, he thought of that big fellow who was guarding the cave and refused to move.

  Bai Gonglie didn't know what Ye Wen was thinking, he just nodded and said: "That's right, this red line snake is a variation that occurred under the coincidence of circumstances. Once it varies, it will start to grow rapidly and give birth to countless offspring, forming a fixed group. The first one that varied is the foundation of this group, it is the snake king of this group of snakes."

  "The Red Line Snake King's entire body is treasure, and every single thing is of great benefit to those who practice martial arts. Especially the Scarlet Sun Fire that Ben Sheng Jun has been practicing, if he can get the help of the Snake King's treasure, he will be able to enter the realm of greatness. At that time, what big sect leaders, top masters, Ice Frost Cold Skills, all will not be in Ben Sheng Jun's eyes."

  He spoke with great satisfaction, and suddenly laughed loudly towards the sky, his voice unknowingly carrying far away, and faintly there was an echo that came back. Only then did Ye Wen realize just how terrifying this god's internal strength was. Earlier he had thought that Liu Qingfeng could withstand ten moves from him, and even if he himself couldn't hold on, he should still be able to cope for a while. Even if he wasn't a match for him, it shouldn't have been possible for him to lose in an instant. Now it seemed that this god hadn't used his full strength against Liu Qingfeng at all, and had simply casually dealt with him, easily defeating him and leaving him severely injured.

  After such a calculation, he could take this person's palm without suffering any injury, which was worth being proud of. However, this pride was so bitter that Ye Wen only felt depressed and couldn't get excited at all.

  "Alright, I've said what I needed to say, let's get going now."

  With a pleased smile, Pei Gonglie seemed to have thought that he might be able to fulfill his wish today, obtain the treasure of the Red Line Snake King, and push his Chi Yang Fire Qi to the realm of Great Completion, cultivating the legendary Chi Yang Divine Fire Technique that no one had ever been able to cultivate. With this thought in mind, he became extremely excited, and even when speaking with Ye Wen, he was no longer as ferocious and sinister as before, but rather much more gentle.

  Ye Wen turned around, leaped into the air, and employed his Ti Yun Zong light skill in mid-air. His movements were so swift and agile that he seemed to be flashing about with an elegance that was unmatched. Chi Yang Shen Jun below looked on in amazement, clicking his tongue in praise: "This Shu Shan Sect's exquisite skills are indeed not few; with such a marvelous light skill, they can already proudly hold their heads high in the Jianghu."

  Pei Gonglie had spent his life roaming the jianghu, and what he saw was naturally broad. In just one glance, he could see the subtlety of Ti Yunzong's technique, and when he thought about Ye Wen's method that emitted purple energy and the pure yang internal energy in this young man's hands, he looked even more highly upon this little-known Shu Shan Sect.

  It only took a moment for Ye Wen to climb onto the platform, and at this time his skills had greatly improved. He no longer needed to rely on the rattan strip, even if the second half of the sheer wall was extremely treacherous, it couldn't stop him.

  Looking down, he thought to himself whether Pei Gonglie would let his junior brother go. If he did, it would be considered saving one person. Unfortunately, in just a moment, he saw the Red Sun God Lord holding Xu Xian and jumping up with all his might. With just one jump, he had already jumped over half the distance, then his foot lightly touched the stone wall, and with another sudden burst of speed, he jumped over Ye Wen's head and landed steadily on the platform above.

  During this time, he had been holding onto Xuan Xu, and yet he brought a big living person up with him, and it was extremely easy, as if he still had strength to spare.

  Ye Wen shook his head, but he wasn't discouraged either. The gap between the two was simply too huge.

  Bai Gonglie didn't have the slightest hint of pride on his face, instead he said: "Although my martial arts skills are extremely refined, I'm not particularly skilled in lightness techniques. Just now was also because of my deep internal power. If we talk about technique, let alone comparing with those famous lightness experts in Jianghu, even the body method you used just now is something I'm not proficient in. It's just that your current cultivation is too weak, and you haven't even opened up the Heavenly Earth Mystic Gate, so being able to perform like this is already quite good."

  "What is the Xuanmen of Heaven and Earth?" Ye Wen had been waiting in Shu Mountain for many years, and he really didn't understand much about what was going on in the Jianghu. Although Liu Qingfeng told him a lot, he knew that only when one's cultivation reached a certain level would they know more things. Liu Qingfeng's experience was vast, but it was also limited by his own cultivation, and many things were simply beyond his reach.

  As for the mysterious gate of heaven and earth, Ye Wen also knew from some that it was nothing more than the Ren and Du meridians. However, those who practiced martial arts and opened up these two meridians would have their true energy flowing freely within their body, circulating endlessly, like a small world. This was the ultimate realm that martial artists dreamed of achieving, so why did it sound like just an entry point when spoken by Chi Yang Shen Jun?

  Pei Gonglie didn't know what Ye Wen was thinking in his mind, and when he heard the question, he simply said that Ye Wen didn't know. Perhaps because of his good mood, today he spoke freely: "It's just the Ren and Du meridians, only by opening up the Ren and Du meridians can the body's meridians become one, and the true energy circulate without any obstacles, that's when you can reach the level of 'entering the hall'. However, to achieve this level, one needs talent, effort, and opportunity, none of which can be lacking. I don't know how many people in the martial world have fallen at this pass."

  Ye Wen was about to let out a sigh of relief, but unexpectedly Pei Gonglie continued: "It's just that in today's martial arts world, there are many people who can reach this point, and these people are all able to make a name for themselves in the Jianghu." After finishing speaking, he nodded his head again, indicating that he was also one of them.

  Upon hearing this, Ye Wencai finally understood that without reaching the realm of a great martial artist, he was nothing but an ant in the Central Plains' martial world.

  Because Chi Yang Shen Jun said that the characters who made a name for themselves are high-handed people who can only do so by opening up the Ren and Du two meridians, what kind of existence are those standing at the peak of the martial arts world? Ye Wen couldn't think of that appearance, it's just that his own thoughts were too terrifying and exaggerated, he didn't know whether he had guessed too much or not enough.

  As they spoke, several people had already passed through the winding path and arrived in the depths of the valley. As soon as he entered, Pei Gonglie began to look around, first getting a clear understanding of the environment of this valley.

  He waited until he saw the cold pool, and then he exclaimed: "This spring water is very strange. Even from a distance, I can feel the chill in it. It must be this spring water that gave birth to that red-line snake."

  He didn't think deeply about it, and just thought that the strange coldness of the pool water was the reason for the emergence of the red line snake. Ye Wen was fortunate that he had already destroyed the wooden board, otherwise if this god saw it, who knows what kind of trouble would arise again.

  "It doesn't seem to make a difference whether this pool exists or not."

  Ye Wenzai didn't believe that this god would let him and Xu Xian off, he had just wanted to make Xu Xian leave all along, no doubt holding onto the idea of saving one person being better than none. This Chi Yang god was saying so much, clearly wanting to kill them to silence them.

  It is said that only dead men can keep a secret.

  A few people walked further along the pool, Ye Wengong's kung fu had already achieved some success, and this cold air could no longer hurt him. Xu Xian didn't have enough power, fortunately, the Pure Yang Wuji Gong just restrained the cold air, and for a short time, he was able to hold on, as for that Pei Gonglie? He didn't even frown, and directly walked into the cave.

  Even though Pei Gong's repair was astonishing, he still felt the piercing cold air in the cave and exclaimed: "What a strong cold air!" He then glanced at the unremarkable cold spring beside him: "This cold spring is quite strange. The cold air it emits is truly astonishing. I've heard that on the summit of the Tian Shan Sect, there's a natural hot spring; if someone falls into it, their bones and flesh will immediately separate. If this cold spring were to be compared in terms of power, it might not be much weaker than that hot spring."

  Then he went to see the giant snake again, but saw that the big snake had already lifted its huge head and was spitting out chips non-stop. It had already sensed that someone was approaching, and more importantly, the giant snake seemed to have sensed that the comer was not good, so it showed great vigilance, with a ferocious appearance fully exposed.

  However, this ferocious appearance still couldn't intimidate Bái Gōng Liè, instead it made him burst out laughing: "Good livestock, it's actually grown to be so enormous, I suppose its entire body is extraordinary"

  As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Xian suddenly let go of his hand and was caught off guard. Before he could say anything, Pei Gonglie slapped him with a palm, sending him flying out. This slap sent Xu Xian flying out of the cave, and the fierce flames directly invaded his body, surging left and right as if to burn his insides to ashes.

  Almost at the same time, Ye Wen had already activated his Purple Mist Skill, and with a casual move, he made a Snowflake Cloud Palm strike. This move was originally one that he had taught to Zhou Zhiruo, but after teaching it many times, he himself had also mastered it. At this moment, combining it with the Purple Mist Energy, the move was quite impressive, even Pei Gonglie didn't dare to underestimate it, and turned around to carefully defend against it with his Scarlet Sun Fire Energy.

  Two people suddenly started fighting in the cave, fortunately the cave was spacious enough, and the two dodged and weaved without any obstacles.

  Compared with Ye Wen's silence, Pei Gonglie seemed much more at ease: "You little scoundrel are quite clever, actually knowing to seize the initiative"

  Since he had already made his move, Pei Gonglie no longer hid his thoughts: "Originally I wanted to kill you and your junior brother to silence you, if you didn't resist, this godly king could have let you die a quick death" He didn't think there was anything wrong with what he did, and at the same time, he didn't intend to conceal his intention to kill Ye Wen and Xun Xian to silence them.

  Ye Wenke was not one to wait for death, seeing Pei Gonglie suddenly release Xu Xian's wrist, he knew this guy was going to make a move. He immediately took action to stop Pei Gonglie, but unfortunately, he was a step too late. Pei Gonglie didn't even flinch, and with a backhand slap, sent Xu Xian flying out. At this point, it was unclear whether Xu Xian was alive or dead, and Ye Wenke didn't have time to go check on his situation. His own situation wasn't much better than Xu Xian's.

  Pei Gonglie raised his palm, and with a flick of his wrist, he deflected Ye Wen's 'Ding Yang Needle' that was used as a substitute for a sword. At the same time, he also exchanged three hard-hitting palms with Ye Wen. He noticed that each of Ye Wen's three palms had increasingly thicker internal energy, and after the third palm, there was even an accumulating effect. He praised: "Good move, but unfortunately, your skill is slightly lacking."

  Ye Wen saw that 'Tai Yue San Qing Feng' was ineffective, so he countered with a palm strike. The palm's momentum seemed slow but was actually fast; it appeared to be floating gently towards him from a distance, but in the blink of an eye, it had already arrived in front of him. Suddenly, the palm's energy burst forth, and amidst its softness, a powerful and fierce energy exploded out. This move even caught Pei Gonglie off guard, thinking it was a gentle and yielding palm force, but it turned out to be a powerful strike that nearly caught him off balance.

  If it weren't for his profound skills, the purple energy would have been neutralized by his body's flame energy as soon as it entered, and Ye Wen might have left him with a lasting impression.

  Up to now, Pei Gonglie found that the leaf Wen in front of him had endless moves and changed a lot. Just now it was a palm technique, but with a swing of his hand, he suddenly used swordsmanship with his fingers, relying on the power of Zixia, those fingers were not as sharp as a long sword, but they were also very powerful, even Pei Gonglie didn't dare to try their power.

  Who would have thought that with a wave of his sword, Ye Wen suddenly turned around, and the powerful force between his body and the huge force of this turn was transformed into a palm knife, and the Five Tigers Broken Gate Knife also came out.

  Chi Yang Shen Jun had to take a big step back to dodge this palm, Pei Gong Lie was confident that this palm wouldn't kill him, but taking it would still be unbearable. His kung fu method was based on the fierce and powerful path, but it wasn't a defensive divine skill meant for withstanding blows, so when necessary, he still had to dodge.

  This retreat, however, made the face of the Red Sun God Lord not look so good, especially in the previous array, Ye Wen took advantage of the first move, one move after another, each move was a desperate stance, all the moves he made were attacking moves, without considering how to defend himself if the Red Sun God Lord counterattacked, and actually relied on this desperate stance to suppress the Red Sun God Lord.

  The difference in power between the two was simply too great, and Chi Yang God Lord, now enraged, no longer wanted to drag things out. He directly activated his Chi Yang flame energy, and a red glow shook around him, as a wave of heat instantly dispelled the surrounding cold air, leaving it completely clean. As his energy burst forth, even Ye Wen's just-executed move, Extinguishing Sword Technique, was momentarily stalled, with the attacking sword finger seemingly thrust into a furnace.

  Just as he was stuck, Pei Gonglie clenched his fists and launched a double dragon out of the sea, with two loud slaps directly on Ye Wen's chest, and the fierce and scorching fire energy actually burned Ye Wen's long shirt to ashes, leaving two black and red palm prints on his chest.

  Ye Wen was struck by this palm, and without even spitting out a mouthful of blood, he directly fainted. The enormous palm force mixed with the intense heat energy invaded his meridians, surging left and right. If not for Ye Wen's Purple Mist True Qi automatically protecting him, perhaps in just an instant, all the meridians within Ye Wen's body would have been incinerated.

  Right after that, Ye Wen flew through the air for a while before falling directly into the cold spring's source, splashing up a patch of icy water just a few feet in front of the giant snake.

  This sudden crash startled the giant red-lined snake king, and its hissing grew more urgent, accompanied by a terrifying, ear-splitting sound that seemed to emanate from the snake's mouth.

  Chi Yang Shen Jun knocked Ye Wen down into the depths of the spring, and whispered a sentence: "This spring water is icy cold to the bone, and that little brat was also hit by me with a full-powered palm, he's absolutely dead for sure. As for that little brat from earlier... although I don't know what relationship he has with Ling Xiao Zi, since he suffered a slap from me, he must be dead too. The problem now is how to deal with this giant snake."

  Originally, Pei Gonglie had long made up his mind to kill Xu Xian. This was because before entering the main hall, Xu Xian had subtly used a move that belonged to someone Pei knew, but he couldn't grasp the relationship between the two. He also feared that person's formidable abilities, so he had already decided to silence him by killing him.

  As for later? He was confident that as long as he killed the Red Line Snake King and cultivated the Scarlet Sun God Fire, he would be invincible in the world. What's to fear from that laborer Ling Xuzi?

  But it doesn't say that Pei Gong Lie and the giant snake started fighting again, only that Ye Wen fell into the spring.

  Originally, with Ye Wen's skill level, not to mention falling into the cold spring, even landing in the nearby cold pool would be a dead end. Who would have thought that today, thanks to Pei Gonglie's ten-layered palm, he managed to narrowly escape with his life?

  Bai Gonglie's pure Yang energy was in perfect opposition to the cold air of the Cold Spring. As soon as the cold air entered Ye Wen's body, instead of looking for trouble with Ye Wen, it began to fight with the fire energy. The two energies clashed within Ye Wen's body, left and right, treating this place like a battlefield for their duel.

  Ye Wen's body was filled with purple qi, and he was unconsciously repairing and replenishing it. Suddenly, his energy burst forth in a massive explosion. The Purple Mist Technique rapidly circulated within him, and the three powers inside Ye Wen's body intersected and clashed, forming a strange balance.

  If that's all, after a long time, whether the purple energy is exhausted or the fire energy is eliminated by the cold air and can't escape the outcome of death, Ye Wen fell into the water in a coma and could no longer breathe. The internal skill actually relies on the method of inhaling and exhaling, running between relying on one breath and one inhalation of external yuanqi to fill oneself to form a cycle.

  At this moment, Ye Wen couldn't breathe, and the true energy of Zixia couldn't be replenished. Strangely, according to the habitual practice of the method, it automatically entered the inner cycle. When this method enters the inner cycle, it is a sign that it has reached the boundary of the Great Completion Realm. If successful, it will smoothly open up the Ren and Du meridians, and the internal energy will form an inner cycle, repeatedly providing true energy. At that time, Ye Wen's Zixia Gong would be considered complete and perfect, and he could call his own Zixia Gong the "Zixia Divine Skill".

  It's just a fantasy to think that you can open up the Ren and Du meridians with only internal skill, if you usually act like this, at best your meridians will be damaged and your skills will decline, at worst you'll go crazy from the energy entering your brain and die directly, doing this without enough power is no different than looking for death.

  At this moment, Ye Wen was unconscious, and the true energy in his body was running on its own. He had no perception of it at all, and since the true energy couldn't enter or exit as usual, it could only wreak havoc inside his body.

  Fortunately, Ye Wen's personal strength was insufficient, but there was another external force in his body. The Purple Mist True Qi, apart from being good at regulating the body, was also extremely skilled at controlling true qi. Seeing that he couldn't break through the conflict, these two hot and cold brothers were actually directly enveloped by the Purple Mist True Qi and rushed straight to the Ren and Du meridians.

  You all just fight your own battles, as long as you follow me and charge forward together.

  These three powerful forces merged, far exceeding the requirements to break through the Tian Di Xuan Guan, not only forcibly opening up the Ren Du meridians within Ye Wen's body, but also transforming several internal cycles before finally stopping.

  At the same time, after several cycles, all the energy in Ye Wen's body was transformed into Purple Mist True Qi, and even the cold and hot energies that had entered his body were not spared. With each cycle, some of them were transformed, and after several rounds, Ye Wen's body was already filled with Purple Mist True Qi. Not only did it repair the damage caused by the fierce battle earlier, but it also greatly improved his cultivation. At this moment, he was still in the spring eye, and he could vaguely rely on his own true energy to resist that terrifying cold air.

  Just then, Ye Wen woke up with about 70-80% of his injuries recovered. Although he didn't know what had happened to his body, he also sensed that not only was he not dead, but his powers had greatly increased. Without thinking too much, he knew that the protagonist halo must have been activated during his life-or-death moment, and he had walked through a lucky dog shit operation.

  But now is not the time for nostalgia, directly exerting force on the soles of his feet, he leaped out from the cold spring.

  Wow~ Invincibility halo + explosive power surge is a must-have treatment for the protagonist ~
