Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting with brother's wife and young sister-Chapter 148 - 147: Are You Specifically Looking for Sister?

Suddenly, an overwhelming pressure descended from the heavens.

It pressed down on Gu Xiu, who was seated above.

His eyebrow slightly twitched.

His grasping technique was meant to generate suction, but this was... pressure!

Completely different.

Moreover, under this pressure, even the speed of a Second Grade Martial Artist would be affected.

"This boy is truly a genius!"

He couldn’t help but praise inwardly.

"Is it your full strength now?" Gu Xiu asked.

"No!" Chen Xuan shook his head, "About fifty percent!"

"Full strength!"

Gu Xiu was quite dissatisfied, glaring at him, sparing a mere Third Grade.

"Yes, sir."

Chen Xuan grinned, his mind suddenly filled with mischief.

"Sir, sir, you said it yourself."

Then, he fully unleashed the spiritual power within his body.

But the pressure originally directed downward was suddenly transformed into an upward force.

Gu Xiu was just about to feel this pressure when, all of a sudden, it disappeared. He found it strange and was about to ask when the overwhelming pressure surged up from the ground.

Caught unprepared!

It directly propelled him into mid-air, but fortunately, he reacted swiftly; a slight movement of spiritual power stabilized his form, preventing him from humiliating himself publicly.

His body slowly descended.

But inwardly, he was utterly shocked. This pressure was not only downward but also upward.

No!

There must be more to it!

He then spoke slowly, "Come, let me feel it all."

"Alright!"

Chen Xuan nodded, surprised that Gu Xiu wasn’t going to scold him, but instead looked at him with great admiration.

"Boom!"

Under the immense pressure, the entire floor of the tent sank into a deep pit.

Amazingly, not only was Gu Xiu standing there unaffected, but even the ground within a foot around him showed no sign of change.

Next, Chen Xuan shifted the direction of this power.

Long after.

"Alright, that’s enough."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan immediately dissipated the power of the Eight Directions of the Ethereal Realm. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

At this moment, Gu Xiu looked at him as if he were a monster, "So many talents emerging, sometimes it’s hard to not admit one’s age."

"But this isn’t all, is it?"

"Right," Chen Xuan nodded, "With my current strength, I can cover approximately four kilometers with this power, although the spiritual power consumption is much higher."

After all, this cultivation technique evolved thanks to the grasping.

Moreover,

With Gu Xiu’s power and status, he wouldn’t covet a martial technique.

Whew—

Even Gu Xiu, whose hands were stained with blood, couldn’t help but let out a long breath.

This martial technique, no... It hardly qualifies as a martial technique anymore; it’s not weaker than some Divine Techniques and might even surpass them in effect.

"Damn, how did this kid even deduce such an awesome martial technique?"

He cursed inwardly.

Throughout his life, the first half wasn’t spent killing people, it was on the way to killing people.

Later,

He wandered the Nine Provinces and became obsessed with the deduction of various cultivation techniques, martial techniques, and Divine Techniques.

He, Gu Xiu, considered himself a top-tier talent, but now a junior, a mere Fourth Grade Spirit Master, someone he could crush with a slap.

Yet he could deduce such a perfect martial technique.

This was beyond envy; it was jealousy.

"Uh... Sir, if you’re interested in the Eight Directions of the Ethereal Realm, I can draw it out for you to look at, offering some guidance to see if it can be further perfected, considering your strength is far superior to mine."

Gu Xiu laughed.

He had to admit, this kid really knows how to speak.

But who was he?

Gu Xiu! A top-tier genius! Extremely proud.

He was amazed by Chen Xuan’s ability to deduce this martial technique, not by the martial technique itself.

Besides, this technique might have some effect at the Third Grade level, but beyond the Third Grade, it wouldn’t be of much use; it was a bit of a waste for him.

This boy truly underestimated him.

"Sir, you... what’s up?" Chen Xuan asked, looking at his smile with a tinge of unease.

"Haha, don’t worry, just curious. Given my status, could I really covet one of your martial techniques?" Gu Xiu sat down again.

"Hehe, I didn’t mean that."

He swore, he really didn’t have that kind of intention, it was just a casual remark.

"Alright, let’s talk business."

Gu Xiu decided not to dwell on the matter and revealed the reason for keeping them.

"The reason I asked you to stay is because I’m preparing to set up an array, the Nine Dust Blood Refining Array!"

"I’ve never used it since I created this array."

"Because it requires a vast amount of resources, which I’ve already discussed with the court, Qi Lin has agreed, and it’ll take a month to prepare."

"But this array is very complex, and I’m unable to cast it alone, so I need you."

"What kind of array is that?" Chen Xuan was very puzzled. There was already the Nine Dragons Array, and if it were reactivated, Celestial Water Commandery would have no power to resist.

So he guessed this array must be entirely different.

"Hehe!" Gu Xiu suddenly showed a sinister smile, "To refine! Don’t you understand?"

"Since Celestial Water Commandery is like a turtle shell, I’ll refine the entire commandery!"

Refine the entire Celestial Water Commandery!

There are not only more than a hundred thousand volunteers inside but also several thousand ordinary people in the city!

At this moment, Chen Xuan was completely stunned, even frightened.

Not only him, but Ye Jincen and Ji Keren’s expressions also changed.

Seeing their expressions, Gu Xiu knew what they were thinking, this kind of array was indeed ruthless.

But for him, having slaughtered a million in a nation before, tens of thousands were nothing.

"Alright, you don’t have to worry about anything else, just focus on understanding the cultivation technique I gave you."

He immediately produced three jade slips.

After the three received them, Gu Xiu spoke again, "A month! Chen Xuan, your spiritual cultivation is a bit weak, so I’ve given you the simplest part. With your comprehension, it shouldn’t be a big issue."

"Alright, go back!"

Gu Xiu waved at the three.

After the three respectfully saluted, they left the tent.

...

Inside the tent,

Chen Xuan looked at the jade slip in his hand and remained silent for a long time.

It wasn’t that he was particularly kind-hearted.

Killing was nothing to him, after all, in the Martial Arts World, human life was as insignificant as grass, it was completely normal.

And in war, death was inevitable, but those were tens of thousands of ordinary people,

just thinking about it gave him chills.

"Focus on understanding it!"

Ye Jincen, knowing what he was thinking, also advised, "Don’t be fooled by the lord’s kindness to us, but the lord has said, he doesn’t like being questioned, so we should just do our part diligently."

She was afraid Chen Xuan would do something foolish, and if Gu Xiu got angry, not even Uncle Xuan would be able to save him.

"Don’t worry! I still value my life very much."

Chen Xuan took a deep breath, forcing himself not to think about those things anymore.

Moments later, he began to comprehend the jade slip in his hand.

...

Inside the command tent, Gu Xiu slowly opened his eyes.

His spiritual power had been observing the three all along.

Of course, he wasn’t doing this to monitor them, he just wanted to see how they would react.

If they truly were unwilling, he hadn’t planned on doing anything to them, after all, they had some connections with him.

Besides, over the years, his desire to kill had lessened.

This was only for his own people though.

To enemies, he was still the Champion Marquis who dared to slaughter millions, otherwise, he wouldn’t resort to such a murderous array like the Nine Dust Blood Refining Array as soon as he made a move.

...

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

Since Gu Xiu had given him the simplest part, Chen Xuan was the first to fully comprehend the array.

The biggest change during this time was Ye Jincen.

Whenever she wasn’t comprehending the array, she would casually ask him if there was anything he didn’t understand, though her face remained cold, Chen Xuan could feel the concern in her words.

Inside the tent, looking at Ye Jincen still comprehending the array.

With nothing to do, Chen Xuan opened the panel.

[Cultivation Technique: Nine Revolutions Secret Technique (Transformation Stage (39100/100000))]

[Skill Points: 51385]

"Almost there! Just a little more!"

Looking at the numbers displayed on the panel, he calculated in his mind.

If nothing unexpected happens, he could upgrade the Nine Revolutions Secret Technique before setting up the array, then he could reach the Second Grade Realm.

As for other aspects, due to being busy comprehending the Nine Dust Blood Refining Array during this period, there were almost no changes.

Seeing that it was still early, Chen Xuan didn’t plan to go back yet,

He stood up and walked out of the tent.

In an instant, the setting sun’s afterglow shone on his face, making Chen Xuan squint his eyes unconsciously. After looking around, he casually chose a direction to walk towards.

Looking at the scenery around him.

This period of comprehending the array had kept his mind tense, but now that it was done, he could finally relax a bit.

As for the tens of thousands of ordinary people in Celestial Water Commandery.

He had come to terms with it, after all, he wasn’t the one calling the shots, should he fall out with Gu Xiu for these people?

Was his life meaningless?

He wasn’t that foolish.

....

In the grand hall of Celestial Water Commandery.

"Brother Yan, what do these people mean? Blockading us?" Xi Yuan asked in bewilderment.

If they continued to blockade Celestial Water Commandery like this, it would be a big problem.

But since the court decided to pacify the four states of the rebel army, Celestial Water Commandery had made full preparations.

At least before the founding of the nation, the supplies within the commandery were sufficient.

So, what Great Xia was doing didn’t make sense at all, he couldn’t believe that the commander-in-chief on Great Xia’s side couldn’t see it.

"I don’t know either."

Yan Wen shook his head, equally puzzled.

Since he learned that the commander of Jingzhou was Gu Xiu, he contacted the higher-ups, as he was only a Second Grade, and Gu Xiu was likely a First Grade.

But the higher-ups sent word that he shouldn’t worry, as once Gu Xiu took action, there would naturally be someone to deal with him.

All he needed to do was hold Celestial Water Commandery steadily.

This reassured Yan Wen, but then Great Xia surrounded all four gates of Celestial Water Commandery.

He originally thought Gu Xiu would act immediately.

But half a month had passed, and nothing happened.

As Xi Yuan said, Celestial Water Commandery’s supplies were plentiful, and they were not afraid at all.

So, what was the reason?

...

"Oh, did little brother come specifically to find sister?"

While Chen Xuan was wandering around, a familiar voice suddenly sounded behind him. Turning around, he saw Ji Keren standing outside the tent, looking at him with a smile on her face.

"Hmm? Just wandering around and ended up here!"
