Chapter 362: Chapter 362: Qiao Renyi Begs for Mercy Chapter 362: Chapter 362: Qiao Renyi Begs for Mercy In the wilderness of this mountain, now that Bai Ya and Jack have been slain by Lin Dong, only Lin Dong and Qiao Renyi remain alive.
At the moment, the air itself seems to have solidified, with complete silence all around.
After a long while, Qiao Renyi finally swallowed hard and said with a trembling voice,
“Lin Dong, you are not human, you are a Ghost God!”
Lin Dong laughingly said, “I know you’ve always looked down on Dragon Country’s martial arts. Now, do you understand the power of Dragon Country’s martial arts?”
Qiao Renyi nodded bitterly; he had indeed looked down on the martial arts of Dragon Country warriors.
In his opinion, though all were techniques for killing, they required years of practice, and to achieve great accomplishment in any one of these martial arts, one had to put in a lot of effort.
Some people, for the sake of practicing their fists, would hit sandbags for several hours every day until the bones in their hands became like iron, even oddly shaped to the point of deformity.
Some, for the sake of training their legs, would kick tens of thousands of times each day, numbing their legs.
Others, to practice Iron Head or Golden Bell Shield skills, would hit their heads with bricks or chop at their bodies with knives, injuring or even killing themselves…
To Qiao Renyi, all these practices seemed foolish.
Why should one train in killing techniques in this manner?
I study poison, learn Gu Poison, or I could simply use firearms to kill, couldn’t I?
But now he realized that his previous thoughts were somewhat mistaken.
As martial artists, could they really take shortcuts?
Lin Dong had been practicing martial arts for three years, during those three years in the mountains, he learned Tai Chi, Baji, Shattered Heart Fist, Xingyi Fist, Tong Arm Fist, Tan’s Leg, Bagua Sword…
He had studied almost all the famous martial arts of Dragon Country, practicing fists, legs, or swords almost every day.
At first, he was unwilling to practice and constantly forced by Daoist Master Qing Shan.
Until one day, Daoist Master Qing Shan threw him into a cave occupied by a black bear.
He thought it was a joke from his master and that his master would immediately take him away.
However, after leaving behind just one sentence, Daoist Master Qing Shan left.
He said, “Each of your enemies out there is fiercer and more vicious than this black bear. If you don’t make yourself strong, if you can’t even kill this bear, then you might as well let it eat you today!”
At that time, Lin Dong’s mind went blank as he watched the black bear approach him, extend its claws to rip him apart. The martial arts he had learned before flashed in his mind.
In the end, he used his martial arts to fight back, punch after punch, brutally slaying the black bear.
He survived, and the black bear died.
After that, Lin Dong no longer resisted practicing martial arts. For he knew they were killing techniques that could protect his life.
Learning them meant he could prevent wild beasts from tearing him apart in the forest, and stop others from strangling his life in the ruthless society.
Therefore, in those three years, he studied those martial arts he could learn with a kind of desperate fervor.
He would not allow others to insult those martial arts of Dragon Country, the same that protected him from being torn apart by wild beasts time and time again.
Just like a martial arts master cannot be insulted!
Anyone who insults, Lin Dong will want them dead!!!
In this moment, the Qi Sword in Lin Dong’s hand is pressed against Qiao Renyi’s throat.
“How do you want to die?”
Fear appeared on Qiao Renyi’s face, and he said tremulously,
“Could you spare my life? I can exchange a secret for it.”
“I know plenty about your father’s affairs. What do you want to know? I can tell you everything,” he said.
“Oh? Is that so?” Lin Dong’s eyes flickered, but he said nothing.
Qiao Renyi hurriedly continued, “Did you know that besides being the master of Longmen, your father was also the Second Young Master of the wealthy Lin Family.”
“I’ve long known that, no need for you to tell me,” Lin Dong sneered, the Qi Sword pressing against Qiao Renyi’s throat inched further.
“There’s more, there’s more information!” Qiao Renyi said quickly.
“What else?”
“Don’t you want to know why you were dreaded and shunned by everyone from birth? Do you really think it was just because of a few words said by a celestial master?” Qiao Renyi said.
Lin Dong narrowed his eyes, “And why is that?”
“Because of your constitution,” Qiao Renyi said. “Your constitution is actually one step higher than Lin Tiance’s, the Nine Dragons Constitution.”
“The Old Patriarch of Lin Family favored the Lin Family’s Big House, favored his eldest grandson Lin Tiance, so he wanted to trade your life for Lin Tiance’s health. Your father naturally refused, prompting his departure from the Lin Family.”
Hearing this, Lin Dong felt an even colder chill in his heart.
The more he learned about the Lin Family, the more his resentment towards them grew.
The more he wanted to reach the level of the strongest Earth Realm, to set foot in the Capital City.
“What you’ve said is still not enough for me to spare you,” Lin Dong said gravely.
Qiao Renyi’s eyes flickered then he spoke again,
“I have a secret treasure here. If I give that secret treasure to you, would you be able to spare my life?”
“Secret Treasure, what secret treasure?” Lin Dong became curious.
“A kind of ancient secret that is only suitable for someone with your Nine Dragons Constitution and the Nine Yang Body. With it, your cultivation speed will become much faster!” Qiao Renyi said through clenched teeth.
He was unwilling to give that secret technique to anyone, even hesitant to mention it to others.
But now, to save his life, he could only offer it.
Hearing this, Lin Dong immediately asked, “What is it?”
“It’s called the Nine Tripod Cauldrons symbol!”
