Secret of Longevity
The stone dragon had been facing this book day and night for three years, but it still had nothing to gain. It was like a treasure was placed in front of him, but he did not have the key to open the door.
As he meditated, he suddenly felt a sense of foreboding. He couldn't concentrate on the treasured scripture. Just as he was pondering, a light cough came from outside the courtyard.
Shi Long quickly kept the grimoire in his arms. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind as he sighed and said,"Esteemed guest, please come in and have a cup of hot tea!”
It was only when the other party came out of the door that he sensed it. He knew that the person had already reached the realm of a first-class expert.
Then, a person walked into the hall. The stone dragon carefully sized up the person. It was dressed in coarse clothes and had a very tall figure. There was a sword on its back. Its thick eyebrows and big eyes did not look like an evil person.
"May I know how to address this esteemed guest?”Shi Long really could not remember when there was such a person in the martial world.
The person who came was naturally Endless Night. He had come here today with only one purpose.
"My name is Endless Night." Endless Night said straightforwardly,"I came here to find Stone Dragon. Stone Dragon should be you, right?"”
Shi Long had never heard of this person. He frowned and asked in confusion,"Why are you looking for me?"
"I asked you for the Art of Longevity. I know you have that secret manual."”
So he was here for the secret manual!
Shi Long's thoughts raced, but he remained calm and composed on the surface as he said indifferently,""Are you trying to snatch that secret manual from me?”
"Yes." Endless Night nodded. His answer was very direct.
The atmosphere instantly became tense.
Shi Long didn't know Endless Night, nor did he know how he knew that the Art of Longevity was in his hands. But since the other party came for the secret manual, then he couldn't let it go.
Suddenly, Endless Night attacked, throwing a punch across the air.
The weather was already very hot, and with Ye Weiyang's attack, the temperature in the hall seemed to rise by a few degrees.
If it were any other expert who had unleashed his fist force, he would have clearly produced a fist wind that would strike his opponent. However, the heat from Ye Weiyang's punch was almost non-existent. It was as if the air around him was being moved by him, pressing down on the stone dragon from all directions. The feeling of not knowing which target to counterattack against was the most fatal.
Shi Long was still sitting on the chair, his clothes bulging.
"Peng!"
The air and qi collided, forming a vortex that surged around Shi Long's body. The nearby furniture and tables were torn apart like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, rolling in all directions. In the end, only Shi Long and his chair were left, sitting alone in the middle of the hall.
Ye Weiyang's face was filled with surprise as she withdrew her fist.
Shi Long's old face flushed red, but it quickly disappeared.
Ye Weiyang was surprised." As expected of the number one person in Yangzhou. You actually took my punch with your protective true qi." Just because of this, if you are willing to hand over the Art of Longevity, I will spare your life.”
An extremely absurd feeling surged in Shi Long's heart.
Ever since he had obtained this Daoist treasure, the Art of Longevity, he had racked his brain to think about it, but he had still obtained nothing. His state of mind was not as free and peaceful as before the book. Now, he had actually caused a lot of trouble for this book. Was this the "crime of carrying a treasure"?
Of course, he wasn't stupid enough to believe Endless Night. He wasn't a three-year-old child.
After exchanging a blow with Endless Night, he knew that the other party was powerful, probably above him.
Shi Long was a famous figure in Jianghu. At this moment, he made up his mind and decided that even if he had to die, he would not give up the precious book empty-handed.
Shi Long looked up at the sky and laughed loudly. He shook his head and sighed."This book isn't meant for someone fated, so obtaining it will only bring harm and no benefit. If little brother has the ability, come and get it yourself.”
As he spoke, he gathered all his strength and prepared for battle.
Ye Weiyang looked up at the large beam in the middle of the hall and sighed." I didn't want to kill you, but you didn't know your place, so don't blame me."”
The stone dragon suddenly flew up from his seat, his feet not touching the ground as he swept across a space of about ten feet. In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of Ye Weiyang. He pushed his palms forward, his energy exploding wildly, immediately surging towards his opponent like a tidal wave.
At the same time, the chair he was sitting on shattered into pieces and scattered on the ground, indicating that Shi Long had suffered a great loss when the two of them exchanged blows. He could not withstand Endless Night's fist force and dragged the chair down.
Ye Weiyang's eyes flashed with lightning. He first floated back three steps, then charged forward, his two fists landing on the stone dragon's palms.
"Boom!"
The two forces clashed and flew upwards, causing the roof tiles to fly and a large hole to appear.
The stone dragon couldn't withstand this huge force and staggered backward.
Ye Weiyang's feet didn't touch the ground as she spun in a small circle. She suddenly accelerated and actually caught up with the stone dragon before it hit the wall behind it, slapping the air.
A spinning force bypassed Shi Long's body and attacked his back. The angle was amazing.
The stone dragon opened its mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood, piercing towards Ye Weiyang's chest. At the same time, it arched its back and took Ye Weiyang's attack head-on.
Endless Night didn't expect the stone dragon to have such a self-destructive move. He quickly stopped his body and leaned back, narrowly avoiding the blood arrow.
As Shi Long cried out in pity, his body shook violently and his protective zhenqi shattered. Then, a strange force invaded his body through his back. He hurriedly circulated his martial arts, wanting to expel the force. However, his expression suddenly changed. He clearly felt that the true qi that had entered his body was actually devouring his true qi and assimilating it.
"How is that possible?" The stone dragon's expression changed. He looked at Endless Night in disbelief and said in shock,"What kind of martial art is this? Star Absorption Technique?"
In his decades of experience in Jianghu, he had only heard that the Star Assimilation Technique had the ability to absorb the True Qi of others. However, the True Qi cultivated by the Star Assimilation Technique did not seem to have the ability to devour.
"Although I really want to tell you the truth, it's a pity that I don't know what martial arts I'm practicing.”Ye Weiyang shrugged, but suddenly made a move. She had unknowingly rushed in front of the stone dragon and grabbed his neck.
A bright red blood light emerged and quickly wrapped around Shi Long's body. A terrifying suction force came. Shi Long's eyes widened and he let out a miserable cry. The true qi in his body was sucked away uncontrollably.
"You, are you a human or a ghost?" The stone dragon cried out in horror.
Endless Night sneered. He couldn't be bothered to answer Shi Long. Right now, he just wanted to take the true energy in this person's body for himself.
The stone dragon's body gradually shriveled, and finally, only clothes and a pool of dirty water were left.
Ye Weiyang found the Art of Longevity in Shi Long's clothes.
The Art of Longevity was written in oracle bone inscriptions. When Endless Night opened it, he couldn't read a single word. When he was studying, he had never passed his language class. He didn't even understand modern language, let alone ancient language. It was fine if it was ancient language, but this thing was actually oracle bone inscriptions. This made him even more troubled.
