Under One Person: I, Jiaqian Jushi, work from nine to five.

"This is not Dan Shi."

Just as Tang Miaoxing and Zhang Wang were questioning Zhou Fengliu's methods, Xu Xin, who had been curled up on the ground, slowly got up and, enduring the pain, corrected them:

"Although his method is very similar to the Dan Shi technique of my Tang Clan... both target the meridians, his method is not toxic enough to kill... it is not the Dan Shi technique of my Tang Clan."

Some of the people present did not understand what he was saying.

They all target the meridians... but they won't kill you?

Wouldn't that mean Dan Shi's half-brother?

...

"Senior Xu, you're quite something. My move is definitely not the Pill Devouring Technique..."

Zhou Fengliu didn't hide anything and spoke up:

"My technique is called Qi Devouring..."

He was calm at the moment. He hadn't planned to cause any trouble tonight, but who knew that Xu Xin would jump out and try to show off.

So he had no choice but to try this trick, a skill he had almost forgotten.

...

"Qi Devouring?"

Upon hearing this name, Tang Miaoxing, Zhang Wang, and the others searched their minds for a long time, and they were quite certain that there was no such thing as Qi Devouring among the techniques of these sects in the world of supernatural beings.

Where did this come from?

"Manager Zhou...you didn't come up with this trick yourself again, did you?" Tang Miaoxing asked weakly.

"Principal Tang is right...it was self-compiled."

"Could it be an improved version of my Tang Sect's Dan Shi technique?" Zhang Wang asked, seizing the opportunity.

It was hard for him not to think in that direction, after all, Zhou Fengliu's Qi Devouring was too similar to Dan Devouring.

According to Xu Xin, Qi Devouring targets the meridians. If Zhou Fengliu takes external medicine to change his constitution and systematically uses poison... this Qi Devouring is completely the same as Dan Devouring!

...

Faced with Zhang Wang's question, Zhou Fengliu shook his head:

"That's not true... Although my Qi Devouring technique is very similar to Dan Devouring... it doesn't primarily target the meridians."

"..."

"Not meridians?"

Hearing Zhou Fengliu's explanation, Xu Xin, who had recovered, touched his chin and sensed his internal organs.

Now his meridians are no longer as painful as before, which has improved his condition considerably.

He briefly examined his body, then exclaimed in shock:

Where is my Qi?

"Where did my Qi go?"

Xu Xin was dumbfounded.

How could all that Qi in his dantian disappear in the blink of an eye?

He had just felt something was wrong with his body; he couldn't circulate his Qi and it was difficult to protect his organs.

He thought that the Qi was unable to circulate because his meridians were damaged...

Looking at it now, wow, it's not that Qi can't circulate, it's that there's no Qi at all.

After careful observation, he discovered that there was something in his dantian that was continuously absorbing qi. This thing was like a water-absorbing sponge, leaving him no qi at all.

...

Hearing Xu Xin's exclamation, Tang Miaoxing and Zhang Wang both stepped forward to ask him what was wrong.

After learning that Xu Xin's Qi had been disabled, they finally understood why Zhou Fengliu's move was called Qi Devouring.

It's less about Qi devouring and more about devouring Qi.

A person who has lost their Qi is like someone playing a game without mana; they have skills but can't use them...

Apart from being physically stronger than the average person, there's not much difference.

...

Just as everyone was rendered speechless by Zhou Fengliu's Qi Devouring technique, Zhou Fengliu glanced at Xu Xin, who had just stood up, and said:

"Senior Xu... please be careful."

"what?"

Snapped--

Before Xu Xin could react, he suddenly saw a dark shadow appear in front of him, followed by a loud, unexpected blow to his right cheek.

In an instant...

He felt a tremendous force on his right cheek, like an asteroid impact, leaving a palm-sized crater...

The moment they made contact, memories began to flash through Xu Xin's mind like a whirlwind...

He recalled his first meeting with Wugensheng, and the scene of their sworn brotherhood among the thirty-six bandits...

He also thought of his early days running with his fellow disciples in the Tang Sect under the setting sun—a memory of his lost youth...

boom--

During this fleeting period of memories, Xu Xin was like a spinning top, tumbling and spinning in mid-air...

One Kun and half...

Two Kun and a half.

Five and a half.

...

After tumbling countless times, he finally came to a stop, crashing heavily into the stone wall of the Tang Tomb...

...

P.S.: I pray for everything as usual. Goodnight and sweet dreams to all my godfathers.

Chapter 314 Slapping the Tang Clan in the Face in front of Tang Miaoxing... (First Update)

A fight is like a clear blue sky suddenly turning into a storm...

There's nowhere to hide, which always catches people off guard...

No one expected Zhou Fengliu's big challenge to come so suddenly.

When Xu Xin flew out of Tang Miaoxing and Zhang Wang's sight, all the Tang Clan members present, whether inner or outer disciples, stared wide-eyed and opened their mouths involuntarily.

this...

Right in front of the old sect leader and Master Wang, he knocked the new sect leader appointed by the old sect leader flying.

This isn't just hitting Xu Xin... it's more like slapping the face of the Tang Clan.

...

Looking at what happened inside the Tang Tomb tonight, the myth of the Tang Clan's indestructible technique, Dan Shi, was shattered, and the new sect leader of the Tang Clan was beaten... all these things are more or less related to Zhou Fengliu.

Those who knew him assumed Zhou Fengliu came with Zhang Chulan, while those who didn't might have thought Zhou Fengliu was sent by the All-Knowing Gang to cause trouble.

...

Just as the Tang Clan members were waiting for Tang Miaoxing, Zhang Wang, and the others to react, Tang Miaoxing and Zhang Wang couldn't utter a single word.

Even if Zhou Fengliu really intended to humiliate the Tang Clan, they would have to accept it with a smile and say, "Well done!"

This confrontation, seemingly a slap in the face to the Tang Clan in front of Tang Miaoxing, was actually Zhou Fengliu giving the Tang Clan a way out.

If it weren't for this confrontation, they and Na Du Tong wouldn't have been able to explain Xu Xin's use of Dan Shi against Zhou Fengliu.

The mere fact that Tang Clan intended to assassinate the head of the South China region was enough to make Na Du Tong keep a close eye on them.

...

On the Quanxing side, Ding Shian frowned and unconsciously scratched his head when he saw Zhou Fengliu slap Xu Xin away.

He finally understood how he had been sent flying after taking a beating from Zhou Fengliu...

If he hadn't dodged and had just taken the hit head-on, the feast would probably be underway by now, with eight people at each table and Lü Liang sitting at the children's table.

In the silent Tang Tomb, Tang Miaoxing, struggling to stay afloat, led the Tang Clan members to break the silence.

"well played..."

As soon as these three words were spoken, everyone's eyes turned to Tang Miaoxing.

"Good job, Manager Zhou... How dare you lay a hand on the regional manager of NaDuTong! My junior brother deserves it..."

Tang Miaoxing spoke slowly, while pondering the future of the Tang Clan.
