91 Who Tricked Who? Curing the Melting Bone Palm! (1/2)

”Urn...” Ye Xiao realized that he had divulged too much information, ”Well... You wouldn't know. In fact, I've read a lot of books. Reading makes a man well-informed. My knowledge...”

Ye Xiao fabricated some baloney and said, ”The martial art that I am cultivating can cure the wounds caused by any of these six martial arts, so I decided to absorb the attacks. The strength of our house has almost been completely exposed. That is not a good thing, so I think we should intentionally hide some of our strength. This time, they laid their dirty hands on me... It now gives us a good reason and a good opportunity to return the favor.”

Song Jue said, ”I understand that. But the most important thing is your safety. Melting Bone Palm, as I know, is not easily dealt with. I am unable to deal with it anyway. We should still get your father to make sure that you are safe.”

Ye Xiao stopped talking. He slowly took off his upper garments and revealed the smooth white skin of his chest. He turned around and showed his back to Song Jue. His back was fair and no abnormalities were visible.

And then he started operating the East-rising Purple Qi, causing a stream of hot qi to slowly rise from his body.

Song Jue stared at Ye Xiao while watching out for signs of any wounds and abnormalities.

After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, some faint palm marks showed up on Ye Xiao's back one by one.

These marks were appearing from underneath his skin. One after another, these palm marks materialized on his back, covering it entirely. They were packed extremely tightly, and a few even overlapped...

As Ye Xiao kept on operating the East-rising Purple Qi, the initially faint palm marks became more prominent as they started to turn into a darker shade. At the beginning, these marks were light cyan in colour, but as time passed, they became dark cyan. They looked gruesome.

”There are 18 cyan-coloured palm marks. It really is the vicious Melting Bone Palm.” Song Jue took a deep breath as his face filled with coldness.

But not long after, the coldness on his face disappeared.

He was an expert in cultivation. Since Ye Xiao had known that he was secretly hit and could make the hidden wound show up on the surface, that meant he truly had the capability to negate the effects of the Melting Bone Palm.

It was now absolutely certain.

Song Jue had never heard of a man in his early stages of cultivation that could actually force the hidden wounds caused by the Melting Bone Palm to appear on the surface of his body.

The martial art that Ye Xiao used seemed to be unbelievably magical to Song Jue.

If Song Jue had never been hit by the Golden Mai Palm and he was at his peak condition, it would be an easy job for him to cure the damage caused by the Melting Bone Palm. However, he was suffering from hidden injuries, and that made him fall to the very bottom of the cultivation stages. He was no longer able to cure the wounds caused by the Melting Bone Palm.

Yet, he was sure that even if he was at his peak condition, it wouldn't be as easy for him to deal with the Melting Bone Palm like Ye Xiao was able to.

It would at least take him one month of effort to totally force the hidden marks to show up.

”That was truly vicious!” Staring at the 18 cyan wounds, Song Jue ground his teeth.

Ye Xiao's face was all red at the moment. He was required to operate the martial art in full flow to force the hidden wounds to show up. With his current capability, it had taken his whole strength to do so.

While he kept on operating the martial art, he could feel the Melting Bone Palm's extraordinary viciousness and cruelty.

With the marvelous East-rising Purple Qi, he had already compelled most of the wounds to arise, yet there was still a part of the wounds which remained deep within his bones.

Luckily, Ye Xiao was quite experienced, and the East-rising Purple Qi was truly fantastic, otherwise, he would have probably missed these hidden wounds. They were almost impossible to be find.

[To resolve these wounds that have seeped into my bones, I need to use the gelid qi to assimilate them slowly when I am alone.] Ye Xiao immediately devised a plan in his mind. He sped up the operation of the East-rising Purple Qi to resolve the surface wounds.

After a short while, ninety-nine cycles of qi circulation had passed.

Song Jue was shocked as he looked at the white mist that kept rising from Ye Xiao's body. It only took a while, yet the dark cyan marks slowly started changing. They had turned light cyan...

- Puff! - Ye Xiao opened his mouth and spat out some cyan-purple blood.

When the mist disappeared, the marks on his back had almost completely faded away.

Ye Xiao gradually stopped operating the martial art. The light marks disappeared at the same time. They returned into the skin.

Although the wounds were still inside him, they were almost harmless now. At least, they wouldn't take his life.

In fact, the damage that was caused by the Melting Bone Palm was similar to that of the Golden Mai Palm. They both created some impacts and forced themselves into people's body. They hid inside the body, and when they finally acted, they would immediately cause death.

To deal with it, a power of the same attribute as the wound was required to assimilate it. However, these two martial arts were of quite different levels regarding to their capability. If the Golden Mai Palm was a rank 1 martial art, then the Melting Bone Palm was, at best, worthy of rank 2. It could even be ranked worse.
