Chapter 267 - 254: Ten Years in Martial Tao, Martial Technique Perfection, Dragon Power in Hand! (2)
Ancient texts once described, a rumored power of one dragon can equate ten elephants!
Dragon Power, as the most ancient unit for measuring the strength, one unit of Dragon Power can reach 125,000 jin!
Of course, looking at the current Da Lai Martial Realm, there’s simply no one who can utilize this unit of power, even Elephant Power is rarely needed.
Therefore, most Martial Artists have never even heard of the term Dragon Power, as it only appears in the corners of ancient texts.
And now, Song Changming clearly possesses the power of one dragon! Even far beyond!
If measured in Elephant Power, the physical strength he can now unleash can reach fifteen Elephant Power!
In terms of Dragon Power, it would be 1.5 units of Dragon Power.
In this small land of Da Lai, Song Changming has never heard of anyone whose strength can come close to his.
Even the Ghost-faced Vajra, known as a madman under the Ghost Blade Sect, who also possessed the Celestial Essence Body Refining Secret Technique back in the day.
By reviewing various descriptions of his past deeds, one can roughly judge the level of his physical strength, at most it would not exceed five Elephant Power, and his body refinement level is far inferior to what it is today.
This achievement in body refinement is still Song Changming’s greatest confidence today, and the most important part of his strength.
Second comes the Qi Refining Cultivation and Martial Technique Realm.
Finally, the aspect of lifespan.
Excluding the ten years of life naturally passed and the consumption used for annual rewards.
The remaining lifespan barely exceeds fifty thousand.
Converted to years, it’s 137 years.
Continuing to live longer and longer.
If it wasn’t for his daily diligent cultivation, which slowed down the accumulation of lifespan, otherwise, he might have saved up nearly two extra lifetimes by now...
Usually, seeing the ever-increasing numbers of lifespan brings him an inexplicable peace of mind, perhaps this is the feeling of longevity.
A short while ago, when the remaining lifespan broke through fifty thousand days, it was considered a small milestone.
On the other side, when the news of Xu Baishu’s death reached the Outer World Corpse Refining Sect, it caused a violent uproar up and down the sect.
Elder Xu Baishu was highly regarded with deep seniority and authority, and controlled two powerful Yellow eyed Corpse Puppets.
In terms of position within the sect, he could definitely rank in the top five!
Now that he died outside, the Corpse Refining Sect cannot ignore this.
And sure enough, a few dull chimes of bells echoed in the sect.
The Sect Leader personally issued an order, summoning all the significant figures of the sect to the main hall to discuss this matter.
The hall was filled with a gloomy atmosphere, as Corpse Puppets accompanied the members of the Corpse Refining Sect into the hall.
For the Corpse Refining Sect members, Corpse Puppets are their lifeline.
No matter where they go, they must carry them, even for such meetings with the Sect Leader present.
The Sect Leader couldn’t say anything about this, as it is the way for the Corpse Refining Sect to survive.
Many extreme members of the Corpse Refining Sect even see Corpse Puppets as more important than their lives.
"We must kill Song Changming, otherwise the Corpse Refining Sect will be bullied by anyone and will have no deterrence left." Another Elder of the Corpse Refining Sect shouted vehemently.
Behind him, accompanied was a Yellow eyed Corpse Puppet, a true reflection of strength and authority.
"But considering that Song Changming could kill Elder Xu Baishu, just how powerful is he? Can we really kill him?" Another person spoke candidly, not letting anger cloud their judgment.
He was clearly quite apprehensive of Song Changming.
"This person is ranked eleventh on the Celestial List, and in my understanding of the Da Lai Martial Realm, if confronting directly, there’s no way this person could defeat Elder Xu Baishu’s two Yellow eyed Corpse Puppets.
Unless he’s stronger than Nan Wuji of old! But is that possible?
I suspect he has some trickery involved, avoiding confrontation with the Corpse Puppets, and Elder Xu Baishu was careless and got killed first..." One person analyzed the situation.
The other strong members of the Corpse Refining Sect also nodded in agreement.
At his age, Xu Baishu’s true body was as weak as rotten wood, which was indeed his greatest weakness.
Killed by negligence, no matter how strong the refined Yellow eyed Corpse Puppets are, they can only die along with their master.
This is the most likely scenario.
Essentially, they are still unwilling to believe that Song Changming’s combat power is unrivaled, surpassing even the Sword Venerable of old, capable of crushing two Yellow eyed Corpse Puppets face to face.
"So who is willing to go and bring back his head?"
Suddenly, a figure standing with his back to the audience in the grand hall asked softly.
This person’s voice was hoarse and deep, with a penetrating presence, instantly silencing everyone in the hall.
"Sect Leader, I am willing to go!" An equally aged elder stepped forward with a cold expression, volunteering.
It was none other than Xu Baisheng, whom Song Changming had previously sought.
His brother being killed left him restless with anger, eager to devour Song Changming alive.
"Hmm, who else?" The Sect Leader continued to ask.
Below was a silence, a group of strongmen looked nose-to-nose, completely silent.
Despite their vehement words just now, when tasked to infiltrate Da Lai for this thankless job, they were unwilling a hundred times over.
Though it’s quite possible that Song Changming doesn’t have the power to defeat Xu Baishu head-on, but what if?
There’s always a ’what if’.
Moreover, if they sneak into Da Lai, only to fall into the traps set by those Hidden Major Sects in Da Lai, it would be even more dangerous.
The hearts of people vary, and discipline is lax, this is also the difference between the Outer Domain sects and the proper major sects of Da Lai.
Everyone openly pursues fame and profit with no sense of belonging, even the authority of the Sect Leader isn’t heavy enough to suppress the vast Corpse Refining Sect.
