Longevity with My Offspring

Shen Wang clasped his hands and said, "Senior is formidable, worthy of my learning."

"At least you're polite. Now leave, and I won't kill you,"

the Black Death Blade King said coldly.

Shen Wang cautiously retreated a bit, stopping just as the opponent was nearly out of sight. He glanced at Li Yuanning, "Senior, do you intend to seize his body?"

The latter's gaze turned icy, "Do you know why I've been talking so much to you?"

"To let them be poisoned?"

Shen Wang pointed to the others. The seven were eerily calm, with black energy swirling around their brows, and began eyeing him maliciously.

Just depending on their differing power, the change came at varying speeds. For instance, those like Chen Xian and Li Yuanning, with higher cultivation, were still struggling.

The Black Death Blade King grinned fiercely, "They will soon become my puppets. Can you fight seven on your own?"

"Before they kill me, won't the senior be killed first?"

Shen Wang instead walked back into the cave mansion with a smile, producing a Fireball Talisman, "Does senior think this lizard can stop me?"

"Xiaolv definitely can't, but this barrier at the entrance, how long do you think it would take you to break it?"

The Black Death Blade King sneered, each room inside had a barrier, and Shen Wang would have to break through one just to reach him. In that time, it was enough for him to order the seven people to kill Shen Wang.

Suddenly, Shen Wang acted, using a Vine Magical Artifact to wrap the already mind-losing Li Yuanning, tossing him aside, while forming a seal to cast Spiritual Power at the entrance.

A miraculous scene occurred; the runes at the entrance glowed, and the previously vanished barrier recondensed, isolating the seven who were eerily watching him outside.

The Black Death Blade King froze, "You know arrays?"

These people used brute force to break through the array, clearly not proficient. This took him by surprise.

"Senior, now we each have a barrier. Which do you think will break first?"

Shen Wang shook the Fireball Talisman in his hand coldly. He had no choice in this matter, otherwise, he wouldn't want to face this elder who might have hidden cards.

The Black Death Blade King fell silent, finally saying, "I didn't expect you to understand arrays, you have some skills. If you want to learn the saber technique, I can teach you."

"Thank you, senior. I will certainly carry forward your saber technique."

Shen Wang clasped his hands and silently adhered a Golden Light Talisman to himself again, to avoid the other party intentionally using the saber technique to lull him.

The Black Death Blade King's eyes narrowed slightly. How could this person have so many talismans, truly troublesome.

He thought for a moment and said, "Xiaolv, fetch me something."

The green lizard hiding on the side heard and whizzed back to its room, unimpeded by the barrier.

Shen Wang didn't provoke the Fireball Talisman to test. Since this was the other's territory, allowing a pet to move freely was normal, and the barrier in the opponent's bedroom wouldn't be any weaker than outside.

Soon, the green lizard came out carrying a Jade Scroll in its mouth, dropping it in front of Shen Wang, then quickly scampered away, fearing Shen Wang might attack it.

Shen Wang did not rush to pick it up but observed carefully, ensuring there were no tricks before using Spiritual Power to take it up from a distance.

He still did not examine it closely, "Senior, my cultivation is low, having a sword manual is sufficient."

"Haha, are you afraid I left a means on the Jade Scroll to attack your Divine Sense?"

The Black Death Blade King sneered, "If you want the manual, it's on the third layer on the right of the rack in front of you. That's the Black Death Saber Technique manual from when I cultivated to Grandmaster level, at best a First-Grade Divine Skill."

Shen Wang's eyes lit up, "It can be ranked, already considered an excellent saber technique for this junior."

Divine Skills are the ranking of cultivation techniques. The Blood-Transforming Palm and Wolf Step he practiced weren't Divine Skills, only Mortal Top-Level Martial Arts.

Now, a ranked Divine Skill could cultivate Divine Techniques, significantly powerful and easily threatening Qi Cultivation Cultivators.

He followed the instructions to check the wooden rack. There weren't many items on it, covered with dust, about a dozen books with their titles obscured by dust. The rest were mostly bottles, jars, and miscellaneous items.

He quickly located the position mentioned by the Black Death Blade King. Out of caution, he used a blade to gently lift the book, instantly causing a puff of black energy to emerge.

Shen Wang dodged, a bit of black energy brushed against the Golden Light Shield, immediately melting an outer shield.

If he hadn't made any defensive measures, it would've been his flesh melting.

He looked at the Black Death Blade King, who was sneering, and frowned, "Senior indeed prepared thoroughly."

"My things are not for just anyone to take, if you accidentally get poisoned to death, then you're unqualified to learn the saber technique."

The Black Death Blade King said calmly.

"Seems senior also has attainments in the Poison Dao."

Shen Wang raised his hand to stir the Black Death Blade, using it to sweep all the books off the shelf. Two more volumes emitted poison gas.

He cast a Palm Wind, blowing off some dust to reveal the texts.

"Hundred Poison Complete Book," "Five Poison Palm," "Ten Thousand Herbs Map," "Black Death Saber Technique," "Dark Poison Record," "Detailed Analysis of Sexual Poison," "Art of the Bedroom," "Basic Array One"...

More than ten books, some thick some thin, with a slightly... eclectic array.

Shen Wang glanced at the Black Death Blade King, "Senior's knowledge is quite extensive."

"Without a background, how else could you roam the Jianghu and the Cultivation Realm?"

The Black Death Blade King showed no embarrassment, "The toxins in you and earlier Bone Decay Powder, have dealt with many of my enemies."

Senior's words are reasonable."

He cleared out his Storage Pouch, carefully storing all the books except the saber technique into a separate pouch, not touching any of the bottles or jars.

Then he flipped through the book with the blade tip, skimming the contents from afar.

The saber technique included seven moves, each with seven variations, matched with a Breathing Technique, channeling energy throughout the body, following the Grand Circulation.

The saber technique was concise and fierce, remarkably ingenious from his perspective.

After reading, he checked the system and found new content.

"Black Death Saber Technique (Incomplete): 1/100"

Shen Wang looked up, "Senior, back then you cultivated this flawed saber technique and still reached this point?"

"The saber technique itself was incomplete,"

The Black Death Blade King said, "The complete saber technique is indeed a Third Grade Skill; I perfected it back then, along with other parts, all in the Jade Scroll I gave you."

"I only need the complete part of this manual, the rest I do not require,"

Shen Wang said coldly, "A dignified Sword King, not stingy over this little thing, or are you deliberately giving me this incomplete part to trick me?"

The Black Death Blade King's face seemed immovable, only a slight twitch, saying woodenly, "I intended to trick the unwary, but since you have some skills, split the panel below the manual to retrieve the remaining parts."

Shen Wang carefully split the wood and indeed found a silver paper page, with black text and a depiction of the Human-slaying Blade.

At a glance, the figure wielding the blade exuded a wave of Evil Qi, as if a ghost and god emerged, unstoppable.

Shen Wang could tell at a glance this was the true Black Death Saber Technique, and the other parts were dismantled moves by the Black Death Blade King; the forty-nine variations couldn't compare to this page.

"Thank you, senior. If my saber technique prospers, I'll seek further instruction from senior."

He stowed away the silver paper and, after confirming the completeness of the Black Death Saber Technique, turned to leave without asking for anything further.
