Chapter 109 The Secret Technique to Steal People’s Bloodline
Zhu Hongtao was surprised when he heard this.
Originally, he had always been puzzled by Zhu Zhuqing's progress in cultivation over the years.
He knew very well what his daughter's talent was, otherwise he wouldn't have been so indifferent to her in the first place.
Because in his heart, even if this daughter can escape death in the future, her end will not be much better.
In contrast, Zhu Zhuyun is the heir most likely to allow the Zhu family to continue to develop stably.
Looking at the book handed over by Zhu Zhuqing, Zhu Hongtao's eyes narrowed, he reached out to take it, and started flipping it gently.
The further back I look, the more shocked I am.
As a strong man at the Contra level, he naturally has some vision.
Although I haven't practiced it yet to truly feel the effect, I have already been quite touched.
In the Douluo Continent's practice system, it's not that the soul masters have no understanding of the functions of meridians, they just don't know how to start.
The human body is like a precise instrument.
For ordinary people, without a large number of experiments, who would dare to easily try to guide the movement of soul power in the body?
If it weren't for Su Cheng's unique and powerful talent of "medical genius" in the last simulation.
No matter how much human body, medicine, and medical information he had, he would not be able to achieve much in this area without conducting a large number of human experiments.
After glancing at Zhu Hongtao, who was in severe shock, Zhu Zhuqing continued: "Not only that, father, this technique also has the effect of improving the quality of the martial soul."
As she spoke, a shadow appeared on her body, the martial spirit ghost civet appeared outside her body, and six spirit rings quietly surrounded her feet.
"Father, come and see."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Hongtao reluctantly moved his eyes away from the Nirvana Sutra in his hand.
Look at Zhu Zhuqing at this time.
His pupils shrank again.
The ghost spirit cat in front of him seems to be fundamentally different from his own spirit.
Although the appearance has not changed much, the eerie and cold feeling is a bit more intense.
"Martial spirit, possessed."
The spiky cat claws popped out of Zhu Zhuqing's palm instantly, and Zhu Hongtao felt an inexplicable chill in his heart.
The possession of the martial spirit was completed in an instant.
The sharp cat claws stabbed forward as fast as lightning.
In the process of extending her claws forward, her entire right arm deformed little by little.
White hair sprouts and black lines appear.
The spike-like claws further grew, becoming thicker and longer, like tough and sharp daggers inserted into the palms, with a dazzling cold light flashing through them.
During this process, the seventh soul ring under her feet also quietly emerged.
The whole process was as fast as lightning, giving Zhu Hongtao no time to react.
Pulse-breaking and Qi-reviving method!
When Zhu Hongtao read the Nirvana Sutra for the first time, his mind was still more than half immersed in it.
She was completely unprepared for Zhu Zhuqing, her own daughter, and she never expected that the other party would suddenly launch a sneak attack.
The power of the pulse-breaking and qi-restoring method in the hands of the Soul Saint is completely different from that of the lower level.
The activation speed was so fast that even Zhu Hongtao's strength could not cope with it.
If the opponent's soul power is low, he can still dodge by relying on Contra's own aura suppression and a higher level of physical strength.
But now the seven soul rings at Zhu Zhuqing's feet clearly showed her current soul saint's cultivation strength.
And he is not an ordinary soul saint.
The fluctuation of her aura that burst out instantly made Zhu Hongtao almost feel that the other party was in the Contra realm with his own strength.
The seventh soul ring that seemed to reveal a hint of red light in the darkness frightened him even more.
"laugh--"
The sharp claws pierced the heart instantly, and the sound of tearing flesh was heard.
The violent soul power instantly shattered his heart.
Zhu Hongtao is dead.
Zhu Zhuqing bent down and gently took back the manuscript of the Nirvana Sutra from the other party's hand.
Immediately, a wave of soul power flashed across her beautiful face.
Like water ripples, the face and body shape slowly changed, and Su Cheng's appearance was revealed.
"It's just a Contra."
Today, Su Cheng's cultivation level is higher than Zhu Zhuqing's, and he has already been promoted to the Soul Saint level.
And his external soul bone "mask" has now been strengthened many times as his strength has increased.
Let alone an ordinary Soul Douluo like Zhu Hongtao, even an ordinary titled Douluo would never be able to see through his disguise.
Unless it is a titled Douluo who is relatively powerful and has keen senses, only after careful observation can you see some flaws.
However, although this soul bone has a strong camouflage ability, it can cover up its appearance, spirit, and aura. But when it came time for him to really attack with all his strength, he couldn't continue to cover up.
This is why when Zhu Hongtao was sneak-attacking just now, he unconsciously revealed the true colors of his seventh soul ring and the White Tiger Spirit.
However, it is too easy for Su Cheng, who has the pulse-breaking and qi-restoring technique in his body, to use this external soul bone "mask" to assassinate people whose cultivation realm is not too far beyond his own.
The real Zhu Hongtao must die.
No one can always avoid showing off their flaws. Next, he will make arrangements in the imperial capital. This identity will be of great use to him.
The most important thing is that he will have a lot of contact with Zhu Zhuqing in this capacity.
Su Cheng didn't understand Zhu Hongtao and didn't know what he really thought.
If you are unwilling to take action because you have too many worries at this time, it is easy to leave hidden dangers.
To strike first is to gain the upper hand. If there is no real Zhu Hongtao, then he is the only Zhu Hongtao.
In the following period, Su Cheng temporarily handed over the power of the Duke's Palace to Zhu Zhuyun in the name of Duke Netherworld.
And he went out and assassinated several royal loyalists one after another.
The cultivation of these people may not be top-notch, but they are definitely not weak either. Almost all of them are at the Soul King or Soul Emperor level, and there is even a Soul Saint among them.
After all, in the political system of the Star Luo Empire, it would be difficult to reach a high position if one was too weak.
The strength of these people is still secondary, mainly because their location is extremely critical. After these people died, the influence of the royal Dai family in the Star Luo Empire was greatly weakened in a short period of time.
In this process, he did not use his martial soul, but solved them all with swordsmanship.
Although Su Cheng no longer has the Wuhun Eternal Sword at this time, and the apparent power of the sword intention is naturally suppressed in the simulated world, the sword intention can follow his heart, and his swordsmanship is still top-notch.
Coupled with his own cultivation and the method of breaking pulses and replenishing qi, he can easily carry out a sneak attack.
But he didn't go too far.
It is enough to deal with only a few key people. If you do too much, your flaws will inevitably be exposed. If someone discovers traces, it won't be worth the loss if it arouses suspicion on Zhu Zhuqing and himself.
Moreover, excessive intervention will also lead to a lower final settlement score. The current situation is enough for Zhu Zhuqing to fish in troubled waters, and he does not need to do too much.
The unexpected deaths of these people indeed caused considerable confusion among the upper echelons of the empire.
Although no one knew who was responsible, the suspect in most people's minds was actually Zhu Zhuqing.
Many of these vacated key positions were taken by people from the Zhu Zhuqing faction.
Three months later, the power dispute in the upper echelons of the empire temporarily eased.
In the Zhu family's study, Su Cheng stood behind the desk disguised as Zhu Hongtao.
Opposite him was Zhu Zhuqing, whose face was now somber that it was difficult to decipher his true thoughts.
"Xiao Qing, your recent actions are really generous. It seems that I am really getting old."
Zhu Zhuqing frowned when he heard this, but did not deny anything.
Although she felt a little baffled by the series of changes that happened some time ago, she had gained the greatest benefit after all, and there was no need to deny anything now.
Just be aware of it.
"What level of cultivation have you reached now?" Su Cheng asked in a deep voice.
"Already at level 70, I'm preparing to absorb the seventh soul ring and become a soul saint."
"Don't be in a hurry to advance. There is no bottleneck in the practice of Nirvana Sutra. It does not absorb soul rings. It is just that the level cannot be broken through for the time being. The actual soul power is constantly accumulated. After a while, I will help you find some soul beasts. The news will be much better than your promotion now."
Zhu Zhuqing was stunned when he heard this.
The number of ten-thousand-year soul beasts is not uncommon, so why suppress cultivation for this reason.
Indeed, with the skills at hand, she could continue to accumulate soul power even without a breakthrough, but the efficiency would be much lower. In her opinion, this was a waste of time and was completely unnecessary.
"Don't worry, I know what you are thinking, but I can't harm you." Su Cheng said calmly, "I am no longer as good as you in matters of intrigue, but I can still give you some pointers in practice. . You don’t need to wait too long, I won’t let you down when the time comes.”
After Zhu Zhuqing thought for a moment, he nodded and agreed.
Although it would slow down her practice, she could still afford to wait for a year and a half.
"I will be quite busy during the next period of time. I will leave it to you to take care of all the affairs in the house. You can also use all resources as you wish."
"Okay." Zhu Zhuqing nodded calmly and didn't try to evade.
The Zhu family has a lot of background in the imperial capital. With these political resources, it can help her power and authority further.
"And one more thing."
Su Cheng took out a page of manuscript from his arms, rubbed it gently with his fingertips for a moment, and then looked at Zhu Zhuqing opposite.
"Over the years, I have developed a secret method that can steal people's martial soul bloodline..."
Zhu Zhuqing suddenly raised his head and looked at Su Cheng with narrowed pupils.
The eyes that had been as dull as water before suddenly showed a bright light, and he murmured and repeated: "Stealing people's bloodline?!"
"That's right." Su Cheng nodded gently and looked at her deeply, "Su Cheng is your best choice for using this secret technique."
Zhu Zhuqing frowned and stared deeply at the slightly older face of his father in front of him.
He said flatly: "I don't need it!"
After saying that, he turned around and left the study.
Su Cheng stood behind the desk, looking at the other person's leaving figure with a calm expression.
He whispered to himself: "No, you will need it, it's just that the time has not come yet."
