Chapter 121 Black Scorpion

 

Having bluffed his way out of Jiang Xueqing’s parents, Qin Lang sighed at his luck. Following which, he returned back to school. At this time, the school’s and the dormitory’s gates were already closed shut, but as far as Qin Lang was concerned, it was of no problem.

When Qin Lang returned to his dorm room, snores could already be heard coming from inside.

After washing up, Qin Lang lied down on the bed, but he didn’t immediately go to sleep, but took out the two poison pills concocted by Old Poison.

Giving Luo Bing ‘blood transfusion to treat the poison’ indeed damaged Qin Lang’s vital energy, this was why Old Poison was angered. But Qin Lang, however, discovered something that even Old Poison hadn’t discovered: his formless poison body’s ability to absorb poison had increased!

Previously, he had to only take in a poison pill and he would feel its effect, but now even after taking in two-three poison pills, there was no problem. Moreover, his body absorbed the poison even more thoroughly.

Although Qin Lang’s formless poison body was something he had from birth, the ‘formless poison technique’ was something he cultivated later, the most basic requirement to cultivate formless poison body was to take in medicines, or rather poison! And the poison would have to be more and more strong each time!

After the formless poison body reached maturity, it could not only absorb hundred poisons, but also be able to release an extremely mysterious poison.

Cultivating Formless Poison body had two aspects. One aspect was taking in poison, and another aspect was ‘formless heart sutra’, so-called heart sutra was frankly only thinking, also said to be meditation. Hence, every night Qin Lang would take in poison drugs and meditate for a long time, it would seem as if he was resting, but he was actually training.

After eating the two poison pills, Qin Lang started meditating, however this time, his ‘thinking’ lasted till daybreak. In this course of meditation, Qin Lang seemed to be sleeping and yet not sleeping, but when the wake-up bell rang, he felt his energy was full and abundant, just like the time before he transferred his blood to Luo Bin, it even seemed to have gotten an increase.

Qin Lang stretched his body and quickly got out of the bed, after which he went to the small hid behind Seven Mid as usual, to practice his pillaring and style.

Through these days of cultivation, Qin Lang was able to train ‘mantis knife hand’ to have both form and intent, form was style whereas intent was to bring out the will. Mantis knife hand style was very simple, it was nothing more than stab, pierce, chop, split, sweep, lift, push and cut. Even though there were several moves, this set of knife hand truly deserved to be called ‘transforming complicated to simple is regaining one’s true-self’.

It was not sure how the blood mantis comprehended such a profound martial style. Every time Qin Lang observed it, he would get a new understanding, and moreover he had especially recorded video of it so as to properly understand each and every moves of this little guy.

Furthermore, Qin Lang still had two ‘yellow’ videos of the blood mantis, they were videos of this little guy dominating female mantis; there were no martial teachings in it, only shameless shaking, this little guy simply was a a little wretch that would discard the females after having used them.

Now, Qin Lang was just practicing his forms, when he saw the blood mantis that was resting on the trunk of the pine tree, slightly shaking its wings, its legs also seemed to be tensing up. What thing could attract its attention!?

“Has this guy’s wild l.u.s.tful nature started up again?” Qin Lang inwardly thought.

Whoosh!

Blood mantis turned into a ray of red light, flying deep into the woods.

Qin Lang’s gaze closely followed it, then he chased after it.

Even since he got this blood mantis, Qin Lang found his eyesight had also increased much more than before, this was stimulated by blood mantis because if Qin Lang’s eye-strength was insufficient, then he simply couldn’t follow the blood mantis’s movements.

Bang!

Like lightning, the blood mantis landed on a trunk of a big tree, its two raptorial legs were raised up, it had already put up its fighting position. Less than twenty centimeters away from it, there was a scorpion. This scorpion was ten centimeters or longer, even its tail was longer than the blood mantis’s figure by some. Moreover, its whole body was pitch-black and its carapace shone with metallic light like it was a black armor.

And on one of this scorpion’s pincers, unexpectedly was a half-eaten mantis.

Qin Lang knew mantises and scorpions were hunting experts among the insects, but in normal situations, mantises were superior. But this scorpion clearly had skills of its own, its cla.s.sification should be Scorpiops tibeta.n.u.s, such scorpions were common and were not only found at hidden areas, but it was still very rare to see one as long as this black scorpion.

But to the blood mantis, big size didn’t mean anything, this blood mantis of Qin Lang frequently challenged those bigger than it, so confronting this vicious black scorpion, it didn’t have the least bit of fear and took the initiative to provoke, on the contrary.

The black scorpion sensed the blood mantis’s raptorial legs releasing provocative aura, it loosened its big pincer and threw the half-eaten mantis’s corpse, then it slightly raised its tail, and pressed forward in spirited paces towards the blood mantis. The black scorpion’s head was down and its tail up, but its movement was stable and moreover it occupied the high ground, its confidence one hundred percent.

Since ancient times, scorpions belonged to one of the ‘five poisons’, Old Poison also raised and cultivated many scorpions, poison sect had many poisonous techniques which had some relation with scorpions. Only, Old Poison never taught Qin Lang the style, so Qin Lang was not sure what the so-called ‘scorpion technique’ was about.

The sole impression Qin Lang had of it was when Old Poison had accidentally said once: “Scorpion’s footwork and movement techniques are very profound. A lot of people has heard of ‘lizard climbs a wall’, but don’t know of the ferocity of ‘scorpion crawling over a city’.”

At that time, Qin Lang didn’t know of any lizard climbing a wall and even more didn’t know of scorpion crawling over a city. But now that his kung fu had reached the intent realm, he gradually understood the ‘martial arts’ in each and every movement of insects and animals. In his opinion, animals and insects were undoubtedly proficient in ‘martial arts’. Moreover, the ‘martial arts’ of the animals and the insects had pa.s.sed through countless eras, and formed through the tempering of time. For instance, scorpions, they had already existed and been evolving since over four hundred million years ago, so their hunting and attacking movements, absolutely, were very exquisite ‘style’.

In case someone could understand and absorb animals’ and insects’ hunting, attacking and defending ‘style’, they could be called as martial pract.i.tioners. For instance, the famous and impressive snake fist, tiger fist, mantis fist, crane fist and so on were all kung fu that had been comprehended from the natural world’s insects and animals.

However, there were not many that comprehended kung fu from the scorpion, and the martial pract.i.tioners that understood and used the ‘scorpion technique’ were also not many. But right now, Qin Lang could see this black scorpion indeed had profound kung fu inside it.

Blood mantis didn’t move, it was still, seemingly in a zen state, don’t make a move unless that move is absolutely astonishing; and this black scorpion, however, was constantly moving, suddenly advancing, suddenly retreating, suddenly moving left, suddenly moving right, as if it was looking for blood mantis’s weak points, once it found the weak point, it would make a move without any hesitation!

But no matter how this black scorpion moved, it always maintained its  head down and tail up stance, this was a stance in which it could attack at any moment. What Old Poison said was correct, scorpion’s ‘movement technique’ had its own path!

At last, after a period of probing out, the black scorpion initiated an attack at the blood mantis, its movement seemed to be very slow, its two big pincers slowly pressed on towards the blood mantis, then suddenly it increased its speed, the strong pincers moved lightning fast and pinched towards the blood mantis!
