Chapter 1249: Half-Sage
“Palm of Aging...”
This was another one of Sunlao Taijun’s ultimate techniques, the Palm of Aging. By imbuing her palm force with her qi of decay and aging, she could infect her targets with the power of decay and cause them to age rapidly. Their vigor would decline, their vitality would vanish, and they would enter old age in almost no time at all.
Before Ye Qing could react, Sunlao Taijun switched her move again and threw a punch.
Compared to Ye Qing’s Break Hammer, Sunlao Taijun’s punch was slow and unsteady to put it mildly. It looked like the weak punch of an old man with one foot in his grave.
And yet, Ye Qing felt his mind diminishing, and his soul aging by the second. Even his consciousness had become slow and stuttery.
It was as if his mind had become old even though his body was still young.
The punch was named the “Heart Decaying Punch”. A fist intent nurtured by the practitioner’s force of decay and aging, it was a mind-specialized offensive technique. Anyone who was affected by it would continuously age in heart and soul until they died.
Ye Qing must admit that Sunlao Taijun’s martial arts were as anomalous as they were indefensible. It was futile though. He had learned about their characteristics from the Taoist of Sleep a while ago and so was prepared for them.
Ye Qing’s response to Sunlao Taijun’s attack was to visualize the “Records of Laojun Studying The Dao On A Bull” inside his head. Yin and yang cycled, and purple qi spread throughout his mind. Just like that, the intent of decay was vanquished, and his mind regained its usual clarity.
As soon as he recovered, Ye Qing bent his finger and tapped, intending to capture Sunlao Taijun’s soul and summon her heart demon[1].
Sunlao Taijun let out a muffled groan as the attack scattered the focus in her eyes. It only lasted an instant, but that was enough time for Ye Qing to appear behind her back and punch her in the skull.
