Chapter 1893: Origin

Inside the hall, there was a moment of utter silence.

Whether it was the Second Jing or the Fourth Shock, all were left dumbfounded by the unbelievable scene before them.

The First Shock… is not dead!

Not only is he not dead, but he actually ambushed the former First Shock?

Yet just now, they were sure that the First Shock had died at the hands of Su Mo.

He was thoroughly dead.

His breathing and pulse were gone, and his body was growing cold.

The blood and energy within him had stagnated.

This could not be faked.

How could he possibly still be alive?

The old man in front began to speak slowly:

“Heavenly Destruction Soul Stealing Hand?

“You came prepared.

“Who exactly are you?”

“Old Three!”

The Second Jing blurted out:

“Is it you?”

“You’re not completely foolish.”

The ‘First Shock’ glanced at the Second Jing, and at the point where his arms were severed, muscles and tendons reattached, and in an instant the broken arms were restored. A cracking sound was heard twice, and except for blood seeping through, leaving two holes in the torn clothes, it seemed as if he had never been injured.

This is precisely the Qiankun True Understanding.

This martial art is unique, launching what has never been launched before.

Collecting the Yin Yang Immortal Order, and with Dongmen Yong under the Wangliang Courtyard, consuming countless humans, he deeply understood the great mysteries of the human body.

He had long surpassed his predecessors.

The Yin Yang Immortal Order still has the eight-character formula of Yin not separating from Yang, Yang not separating from Yin.

But with Dongmen Yong, Yin and Yang became one, and the inner breath never ceased, allowing for unending immortality.

No matter the injury, it can heal instantly.

Moreover, vitality flickers, contingent on one’s heart.

He played dead inside the coffin using this very technique.

Previously in Hualong Hall, when struck dead by Su Mo,

he used this method as well.

Once executed, all vitality within was cut off, making it impossible even for someone like Su Mo to discern life from death.

But just now when the former First Shock touched him,

it was the moment he was secretly gathering power.

At the touch of a fingertip, he felt Inner Strength flowing through his body.

Realizing it was not good immediately, but it was already too late.

He took the Heavenly Destruction Soul Stealing Hand full on.

But the former First Shock’s martial arts were too high.

Even so, he stood proudly, unyielding.

His body seemed to wither, yet flames still burned within, endlessly.

However, the Second Jing, receiving a clear answer from the ‘First Shock,’ appeared utterly perplexed:

“So, the one who poisoned us in Hualong Hall was not Su Mo?

“But you…”

Saying this, his expression suddenly changed:

“You impersonated the First Shock, where did the real First Shock go?”

“Naturally, he’s dead.”

Dongmen Yong said this, rubbed his face, then reached out and took out a few Silver Needles.

The face that looked sinisterly beautiful suddenly sagged.

After rubbing his face again, he peeled off several pieces resembling Human Skin Masks.

The elderly visage was fully revealed to all.

He looked up at the former First Shock:

“It’s truly been a long time.”

“Hmph… traitor.”

The former First Shock’s expression did not change, and there was no ripple in his eyes.

He had seen too much in his life.

Although the scene before him was dangerous, it was not easy to move him.

When he first saw the ‘First Shock’s’ corpse, he was caught off guard, leading to a brief lapse of composure.

He had since adjusted and recovered.

His face was like a carved statue, his voice slowly emerging:

“The Jinglong Association raised you and nurtured your talent.

“Now you have harmed the Longmen Jing Emperor, poisoning them.

“And now you scheme against this old man.

“Dongmen Yong, what exactly are your intentions?”

“What are my intentions…”

Dongmen Yong repeated these words, looked at the former First Shock, and said with a smile:

“The Heavenly Destruction Soul Stealing Hand is a Divine Skill created by the second-generation First Shock.

“Once hit by this move, with inner breath entering the body, it cannot be eradicated.

“This inner breath will gradually corrode your meridians, taking your life.

“The words Heavenly Destruction are not spoken in vain.

“I’d advise you not to waste your efforts.

“As for what my intentions are…

“Your Jinglong Association and I have an irreconcilable enmity; is that enough?”

“Irreconcilable enmity?”

The Second Jing frowned:

“Utterly ridiculous, how could my Jinglong Association possibly have such an enmity with you?

“Not only is there no enmity, but indeed there is kindness as vast as the heavens and earth.

“Now you first feigned death to deceive and betrayed my Jinglong Association.

“It is even more so you who struck the former First Shock!

“Old Three… you, you have truly disappointed me.”

“Such kindness as vast as the heavens and earth.”

Dongmen Yong sighed softly:

“If I killed your entire family, exterminated your clan, and then took you home to raise, allowing you to grow and nurturing your talents…

“Would you think I have given you kindness as vast as the heavens and earth?”

“What?”

The Second Jing was full of confusion:

“What does this mean?

“My… my Jinglong Association killed your entire family, exterminated your clan?”

“Old Ghost!”

Dongmen Yong suddenly looked at the former First Shock:

“At this point, do you still need to ask?”

The former First Shock remained silent.

The Second Jing could not help but ask:

“What is this all about?”

The former First Shock glanced at the Second Jing, his eyes indescribably cold, causing the Second Jing to fall silent, not daring to speak further.

This old man lowered his eyes and sighed softly:

“In past years, I already said this was raising a tiger to invite calamity.

“Yet they wouldn’t listen.

“At that time, I had not yet become the First Shock and could not sway the entire Jinglong Association.
