Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning

Chapter 198: Chapter 134 Poison_2

“I just kept running and running, running for my life…”

Thank Xu Lu, who was chased to the cliff’s edge by these people but didn’t realize he had reached a dead end and continued to dash forward.

When people are pushed to their limits, they really don’t care about anything else.

He said he felt like he was about to fly at that moment, and it seemed like he indeed took flight, but when he looked down, he realized he hadn’t flown—he had fallen…

Luckily, although the cliff was high, its rock face was covered with various crisscrossed treetops.

His body was caught by these treetops one after another, and finally at the bottom of the cliff there was a pond that saved his life.

Struggling out of it, he sat by the pond and realized he probably wouldn’t be able to climb back up.

He had broken several bones, large and small; it’s incredible he didn’t die given the circumstances.

He survived in the valley below by picking wild fruits to feed himself, and later he found a cave where there was a corpse…

There were words left on the cave wall.

“Old Man Xu taught me to read, so I could understand it. The writings on the wall conveyed the man’s life story—a bit exaggerated, really.

“He said he was from the Piaomiao Sect, and due to being framed, he ended up stranded in the Southwest. Even there, those people did not cease their conspiracies and schemes against him; they broke his legs and eventually threw him down the cliff.

“He refused to accept his fate, so he left behind all his knowledge for future generations…

“However, the martial arts he left behind didn’t include techniques for fighting and killing—no wonder he ended up being harmed.”

Xu Lu sneered, noting that the man from the Piaomiao Sect had left behind two sets of martial arts, one called Immortal Trace Mysterious Record, and the other called Sealing Technique.

Immortal Trace Mysterious Record is marvelously profound, starting with Qinggong as a gateway to Inner Strength, using specific breathing rhythms and Footwork Techniques, which gradually develop Inner Strength within the body.

Sealing Technique is much simpler; Xu Lu thought it might not really be Inner Strength at all, just an excerpt from some other martial arts repertoire.

Its main function is to seal Acupoints.

According to the records, if one can seal all the Acupoints around the body, it can produce miraculous effects.

Xu Lu had average talents; after practicing repeatedly, he had not yet achieved that level.

However, Immortal Trace Mysterious Record was very suitable for him as he was naturally good at running and had an unusual talent in Qinggong.

But at that time, he didn’t think there was anything remarkable about these two skills. Being stuck under the cliff and having nothing else to do besides picking wild fruits, he just followed the instructions.

Unexpectedly, in less than three months, he had already achieved some success.

With internal breath support, he could jump up to twelve feet in a leap.

Climbing up the rock face and leaping between treetops, he actually managed to climb up from under the cliff.

Then, he couldn’t wait to get back home.

He thought that with his newly acquired martial arts, he would be able to provide a better life for Old Man Xu.

But when he returned, he discovered Old Man Xu had died.

Curled up emaciated in the bedding, he had died from starvation and freezing.

“Lord Su, tell me… aren’t people just born to suffer?”

Xu Lu poured wine for Su Mo, swaying as he raised his wine bowl: “I was born with a lowly fate, aside from Old Man Xu, nobody cared about me. I thought that after I grew up, gained some skills, I could let him comfortably live out the rest of his life, but unexpectedly, it ended up like this.

“But us thieves, we don’t complain…

“We have nowhere to complain…

“This is probably the retribution for people like us. Probably Old Man Xu himself never expected to die peacefully, so, in a way, it’s quite peaceful.

“But the biggest regret of my life is that till his death, I never found out his real name.

“He gave me a name, yet I never knew his… The gravestone just reads ’Old Man Xu,’ sigh… haha.”

Su Mo nodded slightly: “Life is full of disappointments.”

“Exactly, you’re right,”

Xu Lu nodded: “But back then I didn’t think so deeply, just felt that after his death, I suddenly felt very empty. Having someone care and having no one care indeed makes a difference… I then really hated those local tyrants.

“But when it comes to killing, firstly, I don’t know how, secondly, I dare not, and thirdly… it’s not justified.

“After all, I stole their things first; their actions against me were only natural. A thief must have the awareness of being a thief, otherwise, what’s the difference between us and mountain bandits?

“So in a fit of rage, I went to steal their stuff, day after day…

“Today jewelry, tomorrow gold; haha, by then my Qinggong had improved, moving like the wind. The martial masters they hired were all low-class fighters in Jianghu, who wouldn’t be considered refined; otherwise, they wouldn’t stoop to such a role. After all, they couldn’t catch me even before I learned martial arts, let alone now?

“At first, they were furiously indignant every day, even hiring more people to patrol, but nothing could stop me.

“Later, they became afraid, seeming to resign themselves to fate.

“And seeing this, I again felt it was all so meaningless. After all, what did this really have to do with them?

“It was my lack of skill that led them to discover me. It’s ridiculous for them to suffer from my retaliation just because I couldn’t steal their things successfully…”
