“Retreat!”
Seeing Jiang Chen's formidable martial arts skills and ruthless attacks, the white-haired old woman knew she had met her match. She quickly waved her hand, signaling a retreat.
“I told you to leave, but you wouldn’t. Now you want to leave? Too late!” Jiang Chen sneered.
He chased after the retreating group, sending the gray-clothed old woman into a state of terror. She wished she had two more legs!
For a moment, the forest was filled with the sight of corpses and the sound of screams.
“Master, please save my mother first!” As Jiang Chen was engrossed in the fight, Mu Wan Qing pleaded beside him.
Qin Hongmian, in her arms, had lost consciousness and slipped into a coma.
Seeing Qin Hongmian’s darkening complexion, Jiang Chen knew that if he didn’t act quickly, she would die from the poison.
“Follow me!”
Abandoning his pursuit of the white-haired old woman, Jiang Chen picked up Qin Hongmian and said to Mu Wan Qing.
Upon reaching Xiangyang City, Jiang Chen brought Mu Wan Qing and Qin Hongmian to the courtyard he had purchased.
“Your mother's injuries are not serious, but she’s been poisoned. Coupled with the strenuous use of internal energy during the fight, the poison has spread throughout her body,” Jiang Chen checked Qin Hongmian’s pulse, frowned, and said.
“Please, master, save my mother!”
If her mother hadn’t been poisoned, Mu Wan Qing believed that with her mother’s skills, she would have been able to defeat the white-haired old woman and her companions.
Now, her only hope was Jiang Chen.
“The poison has reached her heart. Even a god couldn’t save her,” Jiang Chen shook his head and said.
“Thump!”
Mu Wan Qing knelt before Jiang Chen and said, “Master, as long as you can save my mother, Wan Qing will serve you as a cow or a horse for the rest of her life, by your side!”
Looking at Mu Wan Qing’s beautiful and pitiful appearance, Jiang Chen said reluctantly, “I do have a way to help your mother detoxify, but…”
“As long as you can save my mother, Wan Qing would willingly die a thousand deaths!”
Hearing Jiang Chen’s words, Mu Wan Qing felt as if she had grasped a lifeline!
“Alright, you stay at the door and guard me. No one is allowed to enter,” Jiang Chen said helplessly, looking at Mu Wan Qing.
Mu Wan Qing immediately turned and left the room, closing the door behind her. She stood guard at the door, afraid of delaying Qin Hongmian’s treatment.
“You’re lucky to have met me!”
Looking at Qin Hongmian, whose face was shrouded in dark energy and who was in a coma, Jiang Chen slowly removed her clothes, revealing her fair and smooth skin…
…
“Ding! Congratulations, Master, for giving away a Green Grassland Hat. You have received the following system reward: The unparalleled light skill, ‘Soaring Immortal Step’!”
“Ding! Congratulations, Master, for giving away the first Green Grassland Hat. You have received the following additional system reward: Martial Dao Emperor’s Eye!”
…
After using the Five Elements Yin-Yang Art to help Qin Hongmian detoxify through the balance of Yin and Yang, Jiang Chen heard the system prompts.
“This is possible?” Jiang Chen was surprised.
Before saving Qin Hongmian, he never imagined that she would also meet the criteria for the Cao Thief System!
This Green Grassland Hat could only be considered a gift to Duan Zhengchun!
It seems that saving Qin Hongmian this time was a huge gain!
Not only did he obtain the top-tier light skill, Soaring Immortal Step, but he also received the additional reward, Martial Dao Emperor’s Eye!
Jiang Chen knew that Soaring Immortal Step was a top-tier light skill created by Emperor Shi Tian in the 《Wind and Cloud》 world using his thousand years of martial arts accumulation. This skill allowed the user to shrink the distance between points and travel with ease.
In the battle at Mount Wuhua, Emperor Shi Tian first chased after Bu Jingyun and then after Nie Feng. While he was chasing Bu Jingyun, Nie Feng had already traveled a considerable distance using Step Wind Shadow, but he was still caught up by Emperor Shi Tian. This shows that Soaring Immortal Step is a divine light skill far superior to both Step Wind Shadow and Wind God’s Leg.
Martial Dao Emperor’s Eye: Can analyze the opponent’s martial arts skills, techniques, and tactics to derive complete martial arts knowledge, discover weaknesses, and improve upon them.
“This Martial Dao Emperor’s Eye is freaking awesome!”
Seeing the system’s explanation of the Martial Dao Emperor’s Eye, Jiang Chen was ecstatic.
From now on, any enemy who clashed with him could be analyzed using the Martial Dao Emperor’s Eye to deduce their martial arts skills, identify weaknesses, and even improve upon their techniques!
With this, even the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms and the Drunken Eight Immortal Fist could be mastered by him simply by watching Guo Jing and Huang Rong perform them!
Oh, and the Nine Yin Manual!
The Five Elements Yin-Yang Art, if fused with the Nine Yin Manual, would produce even stronger internal energy.
Thinking about it, Jiang Chen became even more excited, failing to notice that Qin Hongmian in his arms had slowly awakened…
…
The Dali Dynasty!
Emperor Baoding Duan Zhengming and Prince Zhennan Duan Zhengchun were discussing matters in the Imperial Study.
Suddenly, Duan Zhengming rubbed his eyes, confused, as if he had seen something.
“Royal brother, what’s wrong?” Duan Zhengchun asked, seeing Duan Zhengming’s expression.
“Zhengchun!”
Duan Zhengming said, “Why did I see a green light flash over your head?”
“Did I? ”
Hearing Duan Zhengming’s words, Duan Zhengchun was puzzled and touched his head.
“Perhaps you’re just seeing things, Royal brother!”
Duan Zhengming was even more confused. He had clearly seen a green light flash above Duan Zhengchun’s head…
