In the middle of the forest, the two fighters had come in contact again; blood was spilling from their mouths.
The two people, who had been standing firm just a moment ago, were again pouncing at each other in duel of life and death.
Incessant fighting had tired both the fighters, they had gradually started becoming instable, and their stamina had started giving in.
Finally, the two fighters hit each other at the same time, dealt their blows, bled and fell to the ground.
The fighter with the double-edged sword masterfully pierced his sword through the other fighter’s stomach leaving his mouth open, almost as if he wanted to say something couldn’t and then cut is sword upwards at a devious upwards angle, killing his opponent.
The double-edged sword fighter’s shoulder had been split open by the machete and had hit his blood vessels. Blood was spraying out his arms.
They both fell to the ground, eyes wide open. They looked like they were dead but still wouldn’t close their eyes due to some remaining grievance.
Bi Fan hadn’t gone very close to the fighting as he didn’t want to be caught sneaking. He didn’t know the identities of two fighters, nor had he been able to hear their dialogues.
Regardless of their death, Bi Fan knew that the two fighters might have some valuables, so naturally he wanted to take them.
In the Wan Snake Cave, Bi fan had found three treasures. Bottle Gourd, to hold liquid, Tianyuan ring to hold knowledge and materials. As far as Xue Ren, Bi Fan simply couldn’t use it for now, even if was able to, he would first have to find an enemy, after all, it was a magic weapon.
To find two dead fighters in the middle of the forest with their weapons still on them was nothing short of finding a treasure.
Walking around the country side without any weapons to defend himself with, was not only impractical but also quite dangerous.
Bi Fan resolutely walked over to the scene, as his mouth continuously muttered: “Please don’t haunt me, I will let you rest in peace.”
He first walked over to the fighter who had the broad sword stuck in his arm, pulled it out and incorporated it into the Tianyuan ring, he decided to look at it carefully later.
Bi Fan turned his body over and found nothing but a single golden pouch hanging by a silk thread.
“Yin yang pouch!” Bi Fan gasped with amazement.
Yin yang pouch wasn’t exactly a treasure but could be very useful for practitioners.
Yin yang pouch is a very basic magic utensil but not something that an average practitioner could procure easily.
Only the core disciple would have a yin yang pouch like this one.
Bi Fan was overjoyed, he didn’t check what was inside the pouch and quick incorporated it into the Tianyuan ring.
Plus, the man who had been fighting with the broadsword was also fairly strong and could have some valuable items of his own, Bi Fan eagerly walked over to his body.
The Sword stuck in his stomach looked really handy, received! He bent down to search the dead body.
Suddenly, the man actually sat up, with a fierce look on his face. In a hoarse voice, he said: “Go to hell!”
The man hit Bi Fan with his palm, vomited some more blood and then fell down again, this time, completely dead.
“Bang!” Bi Fan felt as if he had been hit with a hammer, he flew out and fell down on the ground.
Even though this was only a fraction of the dying man’s strength, it was enough to mortally injure Bi Fan.
Bi Fan didn’t feel good, he felt like his internal organs were shifting, then suddenly a lot of blood sprayed out of his mouth.
He lay there, on the ground, unable to move, the pain kept increasing with every passing second.
“In the future, I will not be so careless, I will sure that the dead are really dead.” Bi Fan secretly vowed.
Bi Fan didn’t know the secret healing techniques of inner breath, so it would be difficult to heal his injuries, and natural healing would take a long time.
“I must fight back; I must try the longevity burst technique.” Bi Fan decided.
Here, in the wilderness, danger could surprise you at any time; Bi Fan needed to finish his task as soon as possible.
Bi Fan had known the technique long enough to know it thoroughly; he started concentrating his mind and heart, and started initiating the process.
It goes without saying that to practice ‘inner breath’ one would have to reach the peak of ‘martial strength’, and Bi Fan was still about 2000 jin short of that. So Bi Fan was still a long way out.
In order to restore his injuries, Bi Fan would have to practice the entire summary of the longevity burst technique.
The hardest part however, would be to draw air into his body.
In order to practice the technique, it was a must to absorb the aura of the outside body into the practitioner’s body. First step would be attracting the spiritual influence of the world into the body, which was very difficult, and had a very low success rate.
Even though he was at the peak of ‘growing strength’, it would still be very hard to absorb the aura, and his chances of success were very low.
Bi Fan was very helpless, like a horse who is about to die and needs medicine, he could only try.
He needed to make the longevity burst work, he started aura induction.
Only at the peak of ‘martial strength’, a practitioner’s body is strong enough to sense the aura with ease.
Bi Fan tried to hold his concertation, and to his surprise, he could clearly sense the aura floating around in the air.
“How can I feel so much of aura?” Bi Fan could not believe himself.
Even though Bi Fan had drunk a lot of Wannian Spirit Milk, and his body’s constitution might have changed, the Wannian Spirit Milk cannot influence a person’s talent.
Bi Fan stabilized his mind, which was a key factor to practice the technique, and started absorbing the aura into his body.
“Aura is going inside my body, inside my body!” Bi Fan hesitated a bit as he started absorbing the aura.
Spiritual influence is like strands, methodically arranged strands, and they started entering his body.
Once the aura starts enter the body, then it’s easier to go forward, according to longevity burst technique, the aura provides a power line to the body, and one needed to let the aura run through the body for weeks, before letting it travel to the pubic region for storage.
In order to play of safe, Bi Fan had let the aura run through his body for thirty six times before he had begun storing it inside the pubic region.
After Bi Fan had completed the first part, he was both surprised and delighted.
Surprised, because he could barely believe that it was actually happening, he was actually succeeding in practicing the technique.
So Bi Fan continued to perform the technique. If you store a certain amount of aura, then you heal up quickly.
Bi Fan couldn’t delay himself, he continued to perform longevity burst tirelessly, and continued to enjoy absorbing the external aura.
As the aura ran through his body, he felt warm and comfortable; he almost wanted to say it out aloud.
Had anyone witnessed him performing this feat, Bi Fan would have gotten into trouble, as people might have thought that he’s performing some sort of evil technique.
At Bi Fan’s current status (growing strength), practicing the longevity technique was full of dangers, and the probability of success was very low.
Bi Fan however, was not able to practice it, but also succeed, and that too very smoothly.
Even the geniuses of the Quinyang Mountains were said to have taken at least ten days to perform the technique successfully. Whereas, Bi Fan had managed to do it in the first attempt, so naturally if he tried to tell anyone, no one would believe him.
In a few hours, Bi Fan had saved enough auras to start the healing process. So he initiated the healing.
In order to cure the injury, Bi Fan would have to make the aura reach the core of his body.
Bi Fan started mobilizing the aura inside his pubic region to keep his organs warm.
With the aid of the aura his injury started recovering at an enormous pace, and he could feel the pain gradually subside.
After an hour of performing the heal process, Bi Fan had completely recovered from his injury.
So Bi Fan stood up and shouted: “You were almost dead, and still you made me suffer so much pain. You deserve to be eaten by wild beasts; they should devour your entire corpse.”
First he confirmed that the two fighters were dead, and then he walked over and searched their bodies, and took their valuables.
With the yin yang bag stored inside the Tianyuan ring, he casually dug a pit big enough to bury the fighter and then quickly left the woods.
