Chapter 34: The Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Gang (2/2)
Xue Wuya's words struck Junior Leopard's ears. Again, he felt his body rising off the ground and rolling out of the valley, moved by the Bloodfire Power.
”This is... !” Junior Leopard looked at the scenery and was in a daze for a moment. The surrounding was all high mountains and lofty hills. The flying waterfall fell and merged into a limpid stream. Adjacent to the cliff was a large Nan tree, dozens of feet high and a dozen feet wide, with the lower branches covering about three or four mu of land in shade. The cliff was crawling with tendrils and overgrown with unknown exotic flowers and herbs. There appeared to be a small cave hidden behind the moss, about thirty feet above the earth.
”This is a good place!” Looking around, Xue Wuya was fascinated by the scenery. Junior Leopard looked back and was astonished: Xue Wuya's complexion should be so pale again in such a short time!
”But he seemed to feel better than before.” Junior Leopard thought.
”You have practiced the Wu's Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Technique, which was derived from Tian Long Taoism and is one of its high-ranking martial arts skills. But you just have a smattering of knowledge about it. That is really a pity!”
”Being an ordinary blacksmith, I am lucky enough to have an opportunity to practice the Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Technique!” Junior Leopard said, his mind was perturbed.
”What does he mean? Could it be possible that he wants to pass on martial arts to me?” He thought.
As expected, Xue Wuya continued. ”But you have laid a solid foundation and practiced martial arts in fire property. Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Technique, the progenitor of Wu Family, when practiced to an extreme extent can be combined with earth fire, thus condensing nine heavenly dragons, namely the Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Gang. Now, it's here, and I can give it to you!”
While talking, he took out a book, throwing it to Junior Leopard.
”Thank you so much, teacher!” Hearing this, though he was terrified of Xue Wuya, Junior Leopard was wild with joy. That was Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Technique! When combined with earth-fire, it could practice Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Gang. Even the lowest level of disciple had heard many times from Qin Xuanlong that Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Technique was the 'Family Treasure' of Wu Family, mysterious and unconquerable. Even the inner core disciples had no access to the complete technique, except the direct descendant, who was the only one to get the opportunity and be the Family Head of Wu Family. He had never thought he could get the whole set of the Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Technique, but now he had got it from Xue Wuya.
Yes, he had passed the entirety of this technique to Junior Leopard, including the method of condensing Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Gang. Because people like him could not lie to a child, whether it was true or not was immaterial to Junior Leopard. Besides, Junior Leopard was fully aware of the origin of Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Gang, so were the people in Jianghu.
13 years ago, when Xue Wuya's cultivation had reached only Level Seven, he ran afoul of Tian Long Taoism. The Elder of Tian Long Taoism, who had a high proficiency of Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Gang had reached Level Eight for many years and came into a firm state. Normally, the outcome would be obvious. However, unexpectedly, Xue Wuya had killed the Elder of Tian Long Taoism!
The news spread across Jianghu. Xue Wuya also won a name in Jianghu and soon became the seventh Dark Lord of the Dark Sect. Rumors about Xue Wuya were buzzing around Jianghu, saying that Xue Wuya must have mastered a formidable secret skill or Special Technique, otherwise, it was impossible for him to beat such a master in Level Eight.
After that, Tian Long Taoism and Blood River Sect had a good fight. Finally, Blood River Sect returned the three scriptures to Tian Long Taoism but only after they made copies. And the one in Xue Wuya's hand was the original copy.
Though they had suffered a loss, Tian Long Taoism couldn't speak out about their grievances, and as a result, their good name was tarnished. But a few years later, a talented younger in Tian Long Taoism popped up, wiping the whole Blood River Sect in Jin out with only another two people. They even challenged the progenitor of the Blood River Sect.
After that, Blood River Sect continued to exist. The three young men emerged unscathed from the fight. Nobody knew who the winner was and who the loser was. Soon the shocking news spread that the copies of the Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Technique in Blood River Sect had been destroyed. Besides, Blood River Sect had promised not to leak out this technique and never again would anyone in Blood River Sect practice it.
Since then, people in the Jianghu all remembered these three names, Lei Xu, Wang She, and Nian Wushuang.
Suddenly, Junior Leopard seemed to realize something. His body came to a halt.
”Blood River Sect had promised never to pass the technique on to anyone. But Xue Wuya passed it to me without hesitation. He must be ill-disposed.” thought Junior Leopard.
”Do not be afraid, the old fellow did promise not to pass it to others. Anyway, it was none of my business. He had declared that he would destroy all the copies, but there was one left!” Xue Wuya shot a glance at Junior Leopard as if he could read his mind and said, ”You are so young! Don't make things so complicated!”
”It's better if only I had thought too much!” Junior Leopard whispered. But he pretended to be obsequious and dared not reveal his doubts.
