Volume 1 Rebirth Return Chapter 44: Grudges (2)

  Liu Mingzhi knew that these two were up to no good, and as for Zhou Churen, he wasn't afraid of him. Although Zhou Churen was arrogant and sinister, it was all on the surface, but the person next to Zhou Churen made Liu Mingzhi unable to see through him.

  Liu Mingzhi secretly activated his Heart Method, wanting to see the future of this person, but found that what he saw in his eyes was a thick black fog. This person was shrouded in black fog, making it difficult for him to see clearly. Liu Mingzhi slightly furrowed his brow; this person was surrounded by a thick black fog, making it hard for him to discern anything, and the aura of evil emanating from his body was very heavy, not a good omen at all.

  "Zhou Dao, you, how could you say such a thing?" Liu Mingzhi observed Zhou Churen's facial expression and saw that his forehead was black with a black line extending from it to the hand of the man beside him. He knew that Zhou Churen's lifespan would soon come to an end and that he would be killed by his own companion.

  Although Zhou Churen could tell at a glance that he was coming to make trouble, Liu Mingzhi couldn't bear to see him die and sighed, saying "Zhou Dao friend, although it's been decades since we last met, now is not the time for nostalgia. Judging from your expression, you're likely to be in danger soon. It's best if you leave here now. I can only help you this far."

  Liu Gao, who was standing next to Zhou Churen, stiffened his face and looked at Liu Mingzhi with a hint of inquiry. Had this person discovered something? If he could see what I had practiced, then this person couldn't be left alive either. The gaze towards Liu Mingzhi became increasingly sinister.

  Feeling Liu Gao's inquiring gaze, Liu Mingzhi looked at him and gave him a meaningful glance. This made Liu Gao's body stiffen, and his thoughts about Liu Mingzhi became even more determined.

  Zhou Churen's face turned bright red with anger when he heard Liu Mingzhi say that he was having a hard time recently, and Liu Mingzhi even cursed him to meet with disaster. This was an insult to him, "Don't waste your breath, today my two brothers will take your dog life!" Zhou Churen said, throwing a punch at Liu Mingzhi. Although Zhou Churen's hair had turned somewhat white, he had learned boxing from his master since he joined the sect and practiced every day. This punch was made with all his might, wanting to knock Liu Mingzhi out with one blow.

  Liu Mingzhi, although a half-way monk, was from the ancient Tianji Gate, which had countless treasures and numerous martial arts classics. What he learned was a nameless palm technique, called nameless because the cover of that classic had been destroyed by someone, so it no longer had a name.

  Time was running out, and Zhou Churen's fist was extremely fast, rushing towards Liu Mingzhi's left heart with a burst of wind. If it were an ordinary person, they would have been killed by Zhou Churen's one punch. However, Liu Mingzhi raised his left hand to block Zhou Churen's fist while simultaneously striking out with his palm towards Zhou Churen's heart. Zhou Churen was powerful and agile, seeing that his attack was about to be resolved by Liu Mingzhi, he changed the direction of his fist, flashing to the right, and his body flipped in mid-air. Liu Mingzhi saw that his palm had struck empty air, so he slapped his right palm downwards again. The green stone slab under Liu Mingzhi's feet cracked loudly as he rose into the air, and with a sideways kick, he sent Zhou Churen flying out before he could even land. Zhou Churen was kicked by Liu Mingzhi to the vegetable field in the small courtyard, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

  Liu Gao, who was standing by, saw that Zhou Churen had been injured by Liu Mingzhi in just two moves. He secretly thought that Zhou Churen was useless. Although his face did not show anger, he was still unhappy in his heart. In his opinion, Zhou Churen was just a vessel for storing power, but that was also his possession. When Liu Mingzhi hit Zhou Churen, it was equivalent to hitting him. At the same time as he was annoyed, he saw how easily Liu Mingzhi had made Zhou Churen spit blood, and he also knew that he needed to be careful in dealing with him.

  Liu Mingzhi looked at Zhou Churen lying there, unable to move, and no longer a threat to himself. He shifted his gaze to Liu Gao, a man he was very wary of. He trusted his intuition, and his eyes on Liu Gao were cautious.

  "I don't know who you are, but I, Liu, have always been unwilling to quarrel with others. If I have indeed offended you, Zhou, in some way, then I apologize to you here and now, hoping that our grudge can be written off. Although he was apologizing to Zhou Churen, Liu Mingzhi never took his eyes off him. Just now, he saw that Liu Gao was surrounded by a black aura, so he knew that Liu Gao was not easy to deal with, therefore he decided to retreat and advance later."

  Upon hearing Liu Qingyun's words, Zhou Churen, who was lying on the ground after being beaten by Liu Mingzhi, became even more enraged and spat out a mouthful of blood. He wanted to curse loudly, but his injuries were too severe, and he couldn't speak anymore.

  Liu Guang's eyes dimmed slightly as he looked at Zhou Churen, but his mouth spoke indifferently, "My junior brother has always been favored by my master, and he can't stand anyone being better than him, so he came to bother you. Now that you've apologized, let's just forget about it." Before he finished speaking, Liu Guang suddenly sprang out and rushed towards Liu Mingzhi, his right hand forming a claw, directly grasping for Liu Mingzhi's throat.

  Just as Liu Ge had finished speaking, Liu Mingzhi's body relaxed instinctively, but when he saw the black mist around Liu Ge growing thicker and thicker, his heart tightened again, and his whole body tensed up. Sure enough, as soon as Liu Ge's words fell, he rushed towards him, and seeing Liu Ge's hand grasping for his throat, Liu Mingzhi instinctively raised his hand to block it.

  Seeing Liu Mingzhi use his hand to block, Liu Gao's smile expanded, and the pride in his eyes was evident. Just as Liu Mingzhi's hand was about to touch Liu Gao, he flipped his wrist and suddenly grasped Liu Mingzhi's hand, secretly circulating the ancient book's techniques to prepare for absorbing Liu Mingzhi's power.

  Ryō's hand was grasped by Liu Gao, and he felt his strength flowing into the hand that was being grasped. He immediately knew something was off, and tried to pull his hand back out, but it was too late. He found himself unable to retrieve his hand from Liu Gao's grasp, and could only watch as his technique flowed into his wrist and was absorbed by Liu Gao.

  Liu Guang discovered that the power in Liu Mingzhi's body was exceptionally pure when he first started absorbing it. If he could see, he would find that the power he was currently absorbing was not simply milky white, but also had a hint of golden threads mixed within the milky color.

  As Liu's absorption continued, the air in Li Mingzhi's dantian gradually decreased, until only a single drop of purple liquid remained. He also slowly aged, and after more than an hour, Li Mingzhi had transformed from a young man in his thirties to an elderly person with a full head of white hair. Liu knew it was almost over, so he accelerated the absorption speed, laughing loudly, never expecting this person to have such great abilities.

  But before he could gloat, the milky white gas mixed with gold suddenly turned into a pure purple color and drilled into Liu Geng's body, causing the black air around him to become disordered. Feeling something was wrong, he quickly stopped absorbing it, but by then it was too late. The strand of purple gas that had entered his body swirled against the flow of his meridians, rampaged through his body, and finally plunged into his dantian.

  Digression

  Today's update is a bit late, but I didn't want it to be like this either, because I have to write about fighting, so I was stuck, and finally managed to post it. Please don't mind, okay? Love you guys!
