Hidden Blade

Xu Han placed his hand on the black cat's head.

Even though he had been prepared, at that moment, his body still trembled, and his mind was captured by the violent demonic power emanating from the black cat's body.

At that time, Xu Han took a deep breath and thought to himself that there was no turning back.

Then, he gritted his teeth and his expression sank. The Asura Art in his body began to circulate. At that moment, the violent demonic energy overflowing from the black cat's body was like a raging flood. Finally, it found the gate to release the flood and rushed towards Xu Han's body along his arm.

Even though he had anticipated the berserk demonic energy in the black cat's body, the moment that demonic energy poured into Xu Han's body, his face suddenly turned pale.

That demonic power was only the tip of the iceberg of the berserk demonic power in the black cat's body, and it had already caused Xu Han to feel that he was unable to catch it.

From this, it could be seen just how powerful the demonic energy within the black cat's body was.

Xu Han silently stopped the operation of the Asura Technique and took a deep breath to calm down the raging demonic energy in his body. Then, he frowned and gritted his teeth to circulate the Asura Technique again, extracting a portion of the demonic energy from the black cat's body.

This was repeated eight times.

The tremors of the black cat gradually subsided. Xu Han also felt that his body had reached its limit. He quickly withdrew his hand from the black cat's sky lid and was about to check on the situation of the black cat.

But at that moment, his body paused and his face instantly turned incomparably pale.

The demonic energy that he had introduced into his body began to wreak havoc in his body. They were like wild beasts that chaotic Xu Han's meridians, as if they wanted to rush out of this cage.

"Not good!" Xu Han muttered to himself, and after a short pale period of time, layers of strange crimson red began to emerge from his skin under the rampage of this demonic power.

It was the blood vessels beneath his cortex that began to explode. If they were not guided, Xu Han would probably be killed by this rampant demonic force in less than a hundred breaths of time.

It was urgent for Xu Han to lose his composure. He stood up and ignored the black cat that was gradually improving in his arms. He jumped out of the door and landed on the empty space in the inner courtyard of the inn.

The rampage of demonic energy caused a wave of heat to form in his body. The heat caused Xu Han to feel a burst of confusion. In order to alleviate this situation, he tore apart his upper body's clothes without thinking, revealing his strong and sturdy body. Then, his expression sank, and the Asura Technique's fist technique was executed by him at that moment.

Using a fist technique to activate the demonic energy in his body had never tempered his body. This was the foundation of the Asura Art.

However, the demonic power in an ordinary Shura's body came from the demonic pills that they normally consumed, and how could they possess such violent demonic power?

Therefore, the effects of this fist technique were far from being able to consume the tyrannical demonic energy within Xu Han's body.

As he brandished his fist technique, a portion of his demonic energy was drawn into Xu Han's limbs and bones to temper his body. However, even more demonic energy was still raging. The meridians and blood light in his body began to explode unceasingly. Compared to the speed of destruction caused by the temper, the rate of repair was no different from a drop in the bucket.

"Not fast enough!" When Xu Han realized this, his eyes turned scarlet red. The desire to survive stimulated all of his potential, and he began to execute the fist technique of drawing demonic power even faster.

Every punch and kick exhausted all the strength in his body, trying to swing the violent power in his body out along this fist and foot.

Blood began to seep out of his body through the cortex. Blood stains and tears appeared on his skin. The expression on his face became ferocious because of the great pain in his body. He looked extremely terrifying, just like the evil ghost that had crawled out of hell.

"Not enough!!!"

Xu Han shouted angrily again. The speed of his hands and feet increased by a few points. The demonic energy in his body circulated even faster. Unknowingly, the sound of his waving fists and feet already carried traces of air-piercing sounds.

The strength of this punch was probably already ten juns heavy.

However, the situation in his body was still not optimistic.

The heat and pain in his body nearly knocked Xu Han unconscious several times, but he relied on the viciousness of climbing out of the Asura Ground to firmly support his will and continuously waved his fists and feet.

He didn't want to die!

No matter what, he still wanted to live! 𝐟𝓇ℯ𝒆we𝒃𝘯𝒐νe𝑙.co𝚖

With this obsession in mind, Xu Han waved his fists and feet in the inner courtyard of the inn like a devil. Until a trace of fish-white appeared in the eastern horizon. At that moment, the wreaking havoc in his body was finally completely absorbed by him. His head suddenly rumbled, and a stream of heat flowed back into Xu Han's dantian from his limbs and bones. Then, it swam through his body for a while before disappearing into his limbs and bones.

"Survived… Survived?" Xu Han stared blankly at Yu Bai in the east, and a complicated emotion that could not be said to be joyful or surprised arose in his heart. At that moment, his head sank and he fell to the ground fiercely.

Not far away, a black figure suddenly rushed out. His tiny body actually dragged Xu Han, who was almost a giant compared to him, into the room of the inn.

There were tens of millions of martial artists in this world, but the orthodox way was as the Vast Ocean Current had said. The inner part was the main part, and the outer part was the auxiliary part. However, there were no lack of people who were biased in their sword moves. They only cultivated their physical bodies, just like the disciples of the secret sect of the Dragon Hidden Temple of the Great Xia Kingdom, who cultivated their physical bodies with their inner strength.

Together with ordinary martial artists and cultivators, cultivation was divided into Aquarius, Pill Sun, Three Elements, Netherpassage, Heavenly Hunt, Separation from the Dust, and Grand Derivation. The Tantra Sect also transformed their cultivation into Seven Realms Aquarius, Arhat, Diamond, Purple Firmament, Dragon Elephant, Heavenly Hatred, and Undying. This first realm was all about tempering the fleshly body, paying attention to the body like a precious bottle, without any leakage of Qi. Although the latter six realms corresponded one by one, each of them had their own strengths and weaknesses.

For example, the Phoenix Forest City satrap who had fought with Xu Han earlier was a Heavenly Word Realm expert who was only a step away from reaching the Great Perfection of the Pill Sun Realm, but he was not able to take ten moves against the Arhat Realm expert who was no match for the Earth Word Realm expert.

Before ordinary martial artists could enter the Netherpassage Realm, their internal strength could not be released, so their combat strength could be said to be more than one notch higher. Once a martial artist entered the Netherpassage Realm, their internal strength would turn into true essence, and their attack techniques would become unpredictable. At that time, they would fall to the lower levels. But before that, the world's axioms stated that physical martial artists would be stronger than ordinary martial artists.

As for Xu Han, it was a coincidence that he used the demonic power in the black cat's body to forcibly temper his body. It was a blessing in disguise that he had broken through the shackles of the Arhat Earth Realm that he had been in for a long time and transformed into the Arhat Heaven Realm. If he took a step further, he would be able to reach the Arhat Realm . The warm current that had just flowed from his limbs and bones was the feedback that his physical body had brought him as he climbed another staircase, repairing more than half of the injuries in his body today.

…

When Xu Han woke up again, he felt that his face was a little sticky, as if there was a wine stain sticking to his cheek.

In a daze, he subconsciously reached out to wipe off the "wine stain" on his face, but he raised his hand and touched something fluffy. Xu Han was shocked, and the drowsiness in his mind disappeared by more than half. He suddenly opened his eyes.

"Miao!" At this moment, an intimate shout sounded in his ears.

Xu Han looked over and saw that he was already lying in the room of the inn at an unknown time. The normally cold black cat beside him was currently licking Xu Han's cheek intimately. The viscosity he felt in his sleep just now came from this.

Xu Han was stunned for a while before he remembered what had happened last night. He slowly sat up from the bed. The black cat was obviously excited when it saw Xu Han wake up. It let out a soft cry and jumped onto Xu Han's shoulder. It obediently licked its claws.

"Did you bring me back?" Xu Han remembered that after drawing the demonic energy from his body dangerously yesterday, he lost his strength and fell into the inner courtyard of the inn. But now, he woke up on the bed. The only person who could do so was probably this black cat. However, Xu Han did not know how its tiny body brought him back to his room.

"Miao!" The black cat let out a cheerful shout. Its long and narrow eyes narrowed into crescent moons, and its head rubbed against Xu Han's neck at that time, as if it wanted to receive credit.

Xu Han naturally didn't understand what the black cat said, but it wasn't hard to tell that the black cat had admitted this.

He couldn't help but feel incredulous, but when he thought of the even more incredible demonic power within the black cat's body, this doubt dispersed a bit. After all, this black cat was extraordinary in every way, and some of its incomprehensible abilities weren't surprising.

"Thank you." He nodded his head and said in an extremely serious tone, not showing the slightest bit of contempt because the other party was a cat.

After saying that, Xu Han stood up.

Yesterday's danger made his body sticky, and there were even traces of blood on his naked body. Xu Han sighed. It seemed that he had to go to the bathroom to have a shower again. He thought that he was going to take out a set of spare clothes next to the baggage he had with him. Although Great Zhou was a martial artist, if he went out with a bloodstain on his body like this, it would inevitably attract people's attention. Now that the ocean current was gone, Xu Han did not dare to be arrogant.

However, just as he took this step, Xu Han's heart trembled.

He was stunned for a few breaths before lowering his head to look at his only arm. The abundant energy coming from his four limbs told Xu Han that he had already broken through to the Arhat Realm and turned into the Arhat Heavenly Realm. If he took a step further, he would be able to reach the Arhat Realm.

Such progress could not be said to be a qualitative improvement, but the cultivation of the physical body was already several points harder than the cultivation of ordinary martial artists. In just one night, Xu Han had already broken through to the Earth Realm. It could not be said that he was not at a divine speed.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at the black cat who was concentrating on combing his hair on his shoulder, and the corner of his mouth curled into a smile.

He extended his hand to support the black cat's forehead. The black cat also extended its head towards his arm with great enjoyment.

"Little fellow, you really are my lucky star."

Xu Han said this, ignoring the confused expression on the black cat's face, putting on his clothes and laughing loudly, he left the inn.
