Chapter 091 Triggering Blood Thunder
Lin Fan frowned, wondering what Lian Jiulong was up to.
The next second, Lin Fan's eyelids twitched, and a hint of suspicion appeared in his eyes.
Even Jiulong's aura had changed; he could actually sense spiritual energy from him. Although it wasn't much, Lin Fan had never heard of anyone in the mortal world being able to use spiritual energy.
No, the Thunder from before was also a mortal, and he also used the Mysterious Step.
"Drink!" Lian Jiulong roared, preparing to make a move.
Suddenly the sky darkened, a clap of thunder sounded, and then a flash of red light appeared.
Lian Jiulong was so frightened that his legs went weak. He had heard Fang Yixiao say that the final stage of Qigong could not be used, otherwise it would trigger a deadly crimson lightning. He originally thought that his master was just bluffing, but he didn't expect it to be true.
This is too bizarre; it doesn't conform to common sense at all!
"Bang!" A floor-to-ceiling window in the cafeteria shattered, and a streak of crimson lightning flashed toward Lian Jiulong.
"We're doomed!" Lian Jiulong shouted.
Song Xueyao and Su Yulin were also terrified, their faces pale with fright. They had no idea what had happened.
At the critical moment, Lin Fan stood in front of Lian Jiulong.
When the blood lightning struck Lin Fan, it transformed into a red ball of lightning that enveloped him.
"Ah!" Lin Fan screamed in pain inside the lightning formation, the whole process lasting a full minute.
A minute later, the blood lightning disappeared, and the sky outside cleared up. Song Xueyao, Su Yulin, and even Jiulong were all paralyzed with fear on the ground.
Lin Fan knelt on the ground, his clothes tattered and torn.
"Pfft." Lin Fan spat out a pool of black blood, and after a few seconds, he struggled to sit up.
After standing up, Lin Fan wobbled as he found a stool, then plopped down on it.
"Phew!" Lin Fan looked up and let out a long breath. If this blood lightning had hit Lian Jiulong, it would have surely annihilated him. Fortunately, he blocked it in time.
Although Lin Fan had reached the pinnacle of his cultivation in the mortal realm of another world, he was still somewhat overwhelmed by the blood lightning. He felt the spiritual energy within his dantian become disordered and was almost stripped from his body.
Stabilizing spiritual energy in this world is extremely difficult, as there is neither a suitable environment for cultivation nor the necessary elixirs.
"Lian Jiulong! Come here." Lin Fan called out to Lian Jiulong with difficulty.
"Okay!" Lian Jiulong got up and rushed to Lin Fan's side. In his eyes, Lin Fan was now his savior, and any competition had to take a backseat.
"Please speak." Lian Jiulong bowed respectfully, keeping his body at the same level as Lin Fan.
"I'm asking you, who is your master?" Lin Fan asked weakly.
Lian Jiulong quickly replied, "It's Qigong master Fang Yixiao."
Lin Fan took a deep breath. He had heard of this name before. He had learned about the deeds of the Qigong master Fang Yixiao from TV years ago. He was proficient in everything, such as breaking bricks with his bare hands and walking on water.
When I was a child, I thought it was just a trick to fool people, but now I know it's real knowledge and skills.
"Tell me everything you know about your master," Lin Fan asked again.
Lin Fan knew that time in the Nine Netherworld and the present world had once been chaotic, and during that time, some martial artists from the Nine Netherworld might have come to the present world.
However, the chaotic time has now been repaired by the Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor, and in order to prevent martial artists from running rampant in the mortal world, the Heavenly Emperor has cast a blood lightning curse upon the mortal world.
“My master said he was from out of town, but when asked for details, he didn’t reveal much. He only said that he had lived for hundreds of years and witnessed the rise and fall of history.”
Lian Jiulong scratched his head as he said this, and then laughed, "My master is often suspicious, I think he's just teasing me."
Lin Fan's eyes narrowed. This Fang Yixiao was probably really from another world, and it wasn't unusual for a powerful martial artist to live for hundreds of years.
"Tell me in detail how you met your master, and what strange stories he told you, I want to hear them too!"
Lin Fan thought to himself that he would definitely be able to learn more secrets that no one else knew, while he himself would have to dig them out for who knows how long.
Lian Jiulong then revealed that he was an orphan who was picked up and raised by Fang Yixiao when he was a child. Fang Yixiao also adopted several other homeless children.
Speaking of bizarre stories, Lian Jiulong did think of a few. These were stories Fang Yixiao told them to lull them to sleep, but they didn't pay any attention to them, thinking they were legends made up by their master.
Firstly, people from other worlds came here long ago. They were all called martial artists, each possessing great power, but also being constrained by something.
Secondly, the martial arts practitioners brought many treasures with them. Some of these treasures are still in circulation today, while others have been collected as antiques.
Thirdly, the extraordinary abilities of these martial arts practitioners have been called Qigong by the people of this world for thousands of years. However, this Qigong is only superficial. At most, they can unleash the power of the first realm in this other world. But if they want to unleash more, they cannot, because they are restricted by something.
Fourthly, martial arts practitioners passed on their qigong skills to the people of this world, but due to their limited comprehension, their strength is far inferior to that of true martial arts practitioners, yet they are still far beyond ordinary people. These people mostly live in seclusion in the city, indistinguishable from ordinary citizens.
"I was skeptical at first, but after I came down the mountain, I found out that there are many such stories in novels, some even more exaggerated than this."
Lian Jiulong chuckled and scratched his head, then said, "My master must have read too many novels; he's all talk and no action. Just take it as a joke."
"Hmm." Lin Fan nodded calmly, but his heart was in turmoil.
Fang Yixiao was not joking. He never expected that the connection between the other world and the present world could be traced back a thousand years. In that case, the existence of qigong masters, wall-climbing, martial arts masters and other things beyond the common understanding of ordinary people could be explained.
Of course, treasures from other worlds must have been passed down, just like the Nine-Turn Spirit Pill that Lin Fan brought back. Others would definitely carry things with them as well.
Now there are probably countless martial arts practitioners in the modern world. Even if there are few people from other worlds, with the support of a thousand-year-old tradition, there should be quite a few disciples in the modern world.
However, these disciples are not to be feared. What we should be wary of are the martial artists who have recently come to the mortal world, and who knows, there might even be people from the Nine Nether Heavens.
Lin Fan breathed a sigh of relief, a smile appearing on his face. This trip to the Interactive Entertainment Group was definitely worthwhile.
Knowing more about the connections between the other world and the present world is very useful, even if one doesn't want to fight against the world, as it can at least help avoid disaster.
Furthermore, the Lin family of Shancheng holds a high position. Even if they don't want to fight, these struggles will still come knocking on their door. Shancheng is just a remote corner of the country. How can they control the hearts and minds of people in other places?
