Longevity Martial Arts: Starting from Inner Core Skill

Chapter 328: Chapter 273 Zhu Xiao: Have you heard of cremation?

“Zhu Xiao?”

Zhu Qian had not expected to encounter Zhu Xiao in his hiding place, and he felt somewhat panicked inside.

Although he disliked Zhu Xiao, he was very aware of Zhu Xiao’s strength as his opponent.

Facing Zhu Xiao, he had no chance of winning.

However, he quickly calmed down, realizing that his grandfather was also a top fighter, although he might not be as powerful as Zheng Xueyue, the actual ruler of the dynasty, he would definitely have no problem facing Zhu Xiao.

Moreover, this was the Royal Capital of the Cang Dynasty.

...

They certainly had an extremely strong home-ground advantage.

“Zhu Qian?”

Zhu Xiao, having investigated for so long, naturally knew some information.

“This person is Zhu Long’s grandson, Zhu Qian.”

Clearly, this was an introduction for Wang Sheng.

Zhu Qian, as if he had discovered something, said, “Zhu Xiao, in a family conflict, you actually brought an outsider!”

“Call Zhu Long out.”

Zhu Xiao did not want to waste words with Zhu Qian, there was no point.

“Dare you do it but not admit it, Zhu Xiao?” An elderly voice sounded, and soon, a somewhat elderly-looking man appeared, whom Wang Sheng naturally recognized as Zhu Long.

Whether a Martial Artist became a Grandmaster or a Grandmaster became a Great Grandmaster, their lifespan would greatly increase, but if the breakthrough occurred at an old age, they would not revert to a younger appearance afterward.

Stargazing Valley indeed had corresponding secret techniques, but they were not spread out.

Zhu Long had obviously become a Great Grandmaster in his old age.

“Zhu Long, let’s not waste words, hand that thing over; it’s not yours, and according to the clan rules, whether I need it or not, that thing is mine.”

“Yours? Zhu Xiao, the Clan Leader position was supposed to be mine!” Zhu Long immediately became agitated.

“Is this the fury of the defeated? The strife of those years, everyone is clear about, strictly speaking, this is an act of betrayal!” Zhu Xiao, when facing Zhu Long, was completely calm, unlike her previous emotional discourse with Wang Sheng.

As expected, the calmer she was, the uglier Zhu Long’s face became.

The truth, after all, is the greatest killer move.

Of course, Zhu Long soon regained his usual demeanor.

“Ha ha ha, if it were up to you, how could I possibly have that thing, your father handed the object to me, the Clan Elders told me the rest of the method. Do you think it’s you? Wake up, Zhu Xiao, there are some things you should understand, in the Zhu Family, most people believe I am the true Family Head!”

Zhu Long was very clear about what could make Zhu Xiao lose her composure.

Unfortunately, after her previous conversation with Wang Sheng, Zhu Xiao could no longer be swayed by such words.

“Indeed, I have always understood, how can thousands of years of rigid thinking be so easily changed, but it’s no longer important, from the start, I never thought I could normally take that thing back, it was you who said it, may the best man win!”

“Ha, so you still want to rely on outside forces!” Zhu Long looked at Wang Sheng, he was unclear about some facts, but he knew that a decisive powerhouse had once fought with Zhu Xiao over the Treasure Bead.

He knew that if he had to face them both, his odds of winning were very low.

Zhu Xiao did not say much, only saying to Wang Sheng, “Trouble!”

Wang Sheng nodded, his visit this time wasn’t to deal with Zhu Long but to be on guard against Zheng Xueyue.

This matter was Zhu Xiao’s plight, one she needed to handle herself.

“I know you became a top Great Grandmaster, let’s see what you are capable of!”

Zhu Xiao made her move.

Her cultivation path, all her strength was in her body, she used no weapons, a pair of fists was her most powerful means of attack.

Zhu Long, as if facing a great enemy, felt it, Zhu Xiao, was unimaginably strong.

A seemingly simple punch, he could not catch at all.

Boom!

Zhu Long was directly sent flying into the sky, his face almost destroyed, then before he could react, another punch came, directly sending him crashing outside the Royal Capital, leaving a huge crater.

Immediately afterwards, a foot stepped directly on Zhu Long.

“Is this your strength?”

Wang Sheng was not surprised by this scene.

When he first met Zhu Xiao, she was already a top Great Grandmaster, she had since enhanced her strength several times, she was totally not someone Zhu Long could match.

Now if Zhu Xiao were to compare, perhaps she could compare to Wu Qingfeng and Jiang Dao, albeit slightly weaker than Zheng Xueyue.

“But with such a commotion…”

Wang Sheng looked in one direction.

Apparently, a very powerful aura was approaching.

At this moment, Zhu Qian, upon seeing his grandfather beaten, panicked.

What’s going on, weren’t they supposed to be about equal to Zhu Xiao in strength?

He was now eagerly awaiting the arrival of Zheng Xueyue.

“Such a big commotion should be audible, right?”

As long as Zheng Xueyue arrived, they wouldn’t be at such a disadvantage.

Hearing this, Wang Sheng chuckled, “Since outsiders can’t be involved, then you also have to follow the rules!”

Saying so, his transformed colossal Divine Thought poured out and immediately located Zheng Xueyue, who was trying to rush over.

“This is a personal grudge. If you intervene, it won’t stay that way. So just wait quietly for the outcome or else, you’ll die!”

Zheng Xueyue was directly confined in mid-air.

With her strength, she naturally saw who was taking action.

Initially, she intended to help Zhu Long, as he was still crucial for the upcoming plans, but as she made her move, she was immediately confined.

A supreme power!

She felt that if she really tried to act, she would die—this person was not joking.

But when had such a powerful figure appeared?

Even she was no match at all.

To think, she was currently the strongest among the five major forces!

Her heart sank.

Her premonition seemed to have come true.

The Sun Family had completely fallen, and now such a powerful figure had emerged, an era completely beyond any prediction their family heritage had anticipated.

Nothing could proceed according to their plans anymore.

Her ominous premonition intensified, yet there was nothing to do but watch Zhu Long get beaten.

Zhu Xiao’s punches landed heavily, his Qi Force bursting forth, directly damaging Zhu Long’s bodily tissues, leaving Zhu Long increasingly powerless to resist.

Perhaps having vented enough, Zhu Xiao finally stopped.

“Is that all?”

Seeing that Zhu Long had used that item to become a Great Grandmaster, yet still was so “weak”, she scoffed, repeating a taunt she had learned from Wang Sheng.

“You…”

“You wondering why I am so strong? Sorry, I won’t tell you!”

Zhu Long nearly choked on his own blood.

“You should know, I want that item, and yet you used it…”

She didn’t need to say more, Zhu Long had understood.

“I am your elder!”

Zhu Xiao completely ignored him. An elder?

That ceased to be the case when she was targeted for assassination.

Saying so, she directly picked up the now crippled Zhu Long and returned to Wang Sheng’s side.

“Is it finished?”

“It’s finished!” Zhu Xiao nodded, then looked toward Zhu Qian.

Boom!

Without a wasteful word, Zhu Qian was directly killed by her.

“Let’s go, it’s over. We should head back. We’ll soon obtain that item.”

“Wasn’t it used already?” By now, it was basically certain that something, not a method, could make one hundred percent attain Grandmaster level.

“Have you heard of cremation?”
