High Martial: I Can Copy All Root Bones!

BAM!

The three of them immediately clashed upon closing in. The stray energy leaking from their battle was enough to shatter the rocks on the ground, preventing any weaker outsiders from interfering.

Xuansha was truly worthy of his title in the Dark Buddha Demon Sect. He held the upper hand despite fighting two against one.

Zhisha took a shallow breath. The gazes of the remaining enemies were now completely fixed on him.

And he was a mere beginner at the Bone Refining Second Layer; there was no way he could withstand their combined assault.

’Looks like I’ll be meeting my end here today.’

Taking a deep breath, Zhisha’s bones cracked and popped as he assumed the starting stance of a Fist Technique.

Just as Zhisha resolved to fight to the death, a burst of truly dark light erupted from Xuansha’s position!

"Dark Buddha Glazed Body!"

Xuansha had unleashed the ultimate Bone Refining technique, one he had immersed himself in for decades with his High-Grade External Talent.

His body grew inch by inch, reaching a height of three meters. His upper monk robes tore apart, revealing muscles that had transformed into a black, glazed substance.

BAM! BAM!

In this state, Xuansha’s speed and power surged once more. He sent the two Lan Clan Elders flying with a single punch each, causing them to vomit blood.

Xuansha flashed to Zhisha’s side. "Go! Find the Saint Master."

Xuansha grabbed Zhisha and threw him out of the encirclement.

While still in mid-air, Zhisha executed Xuansha’s command without a moment’s hesitation, using the momentum to leap into the distance.

He only had time for one glance back. Xuansha, now a black, glazed Demon Buddha, flickered through the crowd, striking down all who tried to pursue him.

Amidst the exchange of fists and feet, the heads of those Martial Sect experts burst and their limbs were torn asunder.

Meanwhile, from the depths of the Lan Family’s residence, a figure accompanied by an extremely terrifying aura shot straight toward Xuansha.

Zhisha didn’t have time to see more. With a few more leaps, he vanished into the streets and alleys of Jiangzhou.

「The next morning.」

Lu Changfeng rose early to cultivate.

For some reason, the supply of Buddha Heart Pills from Xuansha had been cut off for many days.

Without the Buddha Heart Pills, Lu Changfeng’s cultivation progress was still painfully slow, despite him being at the Blood Forging Eighth Layer and having a top-tier Body Forging Technique like the Fengtian Forging Body Saber Skill.

Lu Changfeng guessed that a Body Forging Technique like the Fengtian Forging Body Saber Skill was probably created during the Ancient Times when Primordial Energy was abundant.

With the current levels of Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy, successfully cultivating it was incredibly difficult.

After a few training sessions, Lu Changfeng considered going to the Killing Temple to press the matter in person.

It always felt like asking for a handout, but he had no choice for the sake of his own cultivation.

There were only three days left until his Talent copy refreshed.

Lu Changfeng was already prepared to copy Teng Xiaofan’s rare Talent, Transformation, this time.

Then he would learn some Disguise Transformation Techniques.

The Transformation Talent alone wasn’t enough to change forms as freely as Teng Xiaofan did.

He also had to diligently practice a Disguise and Transformation Martial Art to push this Talent to its full potential.

If Teng Xiaofan was willing, it would be best if he taught him the Disguise Martial Arts passed down by the Thief God.

If not, Lu Changfeng would have to find a suitable Martial Arts Technique on his own.

"Big news!"

Teng Xiaofan walked in with a spring roll hanging from his mouth and a newspaper in his hand.

"The Lan Family, one of the eight great Martial Arts Families of Jiangnan Prefecture, set a trap and captured a member of the Saint Demon Sect’s Dark Buddha Demon Sect alive last night!"

"Apparently, the large number of Wizards and even Martial Sect experts who have gone missing in Jiangzhou Prefecture City recently were all captured by the Dark Buddha Demon Sect for Alchemy!"

"Tsk, tsk. This top-tier Demon Dao is really something else."

Hearing this, Lu Changfeng stood up and snatched the newspaper from Teng Xiaofan’s hand.

’Xuansha was captured?’

Sikong Jue, who was wearing a mask off to the side, also stopped cultivating and hurried over.

Sikong Jue was now the Cyan Dragon Guardian under the Saint Demon Sect Master, a true member of the Saint Demon Sect.

Lu Changfeng scanned the newspaper in seconds.

The color visibly drained from his face.

"Hall Master, what should we do?" Sikong Jue asked in a grave voice.

Lu Changfeng patted Sikong Jue’s shoulder. "I need you to do something for me. Go to the Killing Temple in the East Suburb and see if Zhisha and the others are still there."

Sikong Jue nodded and leaped away from the Martial Arts Hall.

Lu Changfeng picked up the newspaper again, his mind racing for a solution.

Initially, Lu Changfeng had been extremely cautious in his dealings with Xuansha of the Dark Buddha Demon Sect.

Even though Xuansha had been extremely respectful from the start, calling him Saint Master, granting his every request, and even handing over the complete Dark Buddha Skill,

Lu Changfeng had remained wary. After all, Xuansha’s Realm was so much higher than his; if he truly wanted to kill him, it would be effortless.

But Xuansha’s subsequent actions gradually convinced Lu Changfeng that he genuinely recognized him as the Saint Master and was willing to give his all for him.

He provided Buddha Heart Pills, the Hundred Solutions Pill, and even helped the inexperienced Lu Changfeng subdue the highly potential Sikong Jue, among other things.

As for the Buddha Heart Pills, a Divine Medicine of that caliber... if Lu Changfeng was being honest with himself, he had to admit he’d had his suspicions for some time.

Perhaps it was due to selfish human nature, or perhaps it was Lu Changfeng’s own desire to quickly break through his current Realm.

For these reasons, Lu Changfeng had deliberately ignored his suspicions.

He hadn’t even been willing to ask Xuansha about the ingredients for the Buddha Heart Pills.

Now, the newspaper report had torn away his thin veneer of denial.

But this wasn’t the time to dwell on that.

The most important thing was how to rescue Xuansha.

Lu Changfeng looked at Teng Xiaofan. "You’ve probably figured out that we have a special relationship with this Dark Buddha Demon Sect."

"Obviously. I’m not blind," Teng Xiaofan nodded slightly. "The way you and Sikong Jue reacted to the news... even a fool could see the connection, let alone me, the great Thief Saint."
