SHOCK Chapter 23

Zhou Wu nodded, “Looks like I’ll soon be a lone wolf again.”

Dugou Qingping sneered, “As an assassin, solitude should be the norm. There’s nothing to be sentimental about.”

“The following words are very important, you must listen carefully.”

Zhou Wu perked up and stared at Dugou Qingping.

“I have two things here to give you, it’s your destiny.”

“The first is the Mountain and Sea Tower Lord’s personal weapon, and his famous weapon, the Soul Startle Spike.”

As Dugou Qingping spoke, she reached out a hand. When she opened her palm, a soft, translucent object lay inside.

Zhou Wu focused his gaze. The thing looked like a cooked crystal noodle, limp in her palm.

He thought to himself, the name of this thing sounds amazing, but why does it look like snot?

Zhou Wu squinted, and suddenly felt a tremor from his soul, his eyes blurred, and his cerebellum short-circuited.

Although it was only a moment of stagnation, it felt as long as a century.

A sharp, soul-piercing sting instantly woke him up.

Looking at Dugou Qingping’s palm again, it was still the limp crystal noodle.

Dugou Qingping said triumphantly, “This thing must be activated with internal energy to release its fierce power. Normally, just place it near your wrist, and it will automatically find the most comfortable place in my body to stay.”

Zhou Wu exclaimed in surprise, “Truly a treasure!”

Dugou Qingping handed it to him. “Take good care of it. This is my master’s precious thing. Don’t let me ruin it.”

Zhou Wu solemnly took it. It was cool, soft, and really like a snot worm.

As he raised his hand, the “snot worm” slid back into his arm, and spread throughout his body like a stream of cold water.

Zhou Wu twisted his body, trying to figure out how to use it.

Unfortunately, the snot worm was disobedient, wriggling and flailing, and he couldn’t get it into his hand no matter how hard he tried.

Zhou Wu awkwardly scratched his ear and gave up summoning the snot worm.

“This is the antidote from Soul Severing Cliff. If you take it, the poison in your body will be I solved it.” (removed)

Zhou Wu’s eyes widened, “When did I get poisoned?”

Zhou Wu suddenly realized that the number 300 on his forehead was because of the poison in his body.

He quickly took it, put it in his mouth, and swallowed it hard.

“What?”

Zhou Wu grimaced, his eyes widened, not knowing what to say.

“Don’t worry, I’ll send you the antidote within a year, as long as you faithfully carry out my orders.”

As soon as Zhou Wu swallowed the pill, he felt the number on his forehead change.

It rolled and changed to 365, and the color also became white, with a slight glow.

He understood that it had been downgraded to days, but at least he had a year to live.

The two talked in the hall for a long time, and then Dugou Qingping led Zhou Wu towards Soul Severing Cliff.

Zhou Wu was very strange, he just passed the assessment, and they didn’t let him rest, and directly took him out of the mountain gate, and then he was never allowed to go back?

The two came out of the mountain road, and there was an ox cart by the roadside, pulling some firewood, bedding boxes and other things.

An old man squatted by the roadside, holding a whip, dozing like a tumbler.

Dugou Qingping beckoned Zhou Wu to get on the cart and told the old man to start the journey.

Dugou Qingping looked at him with a teasing look.

“Want to be my wife?”

Zhou Wu was dumbfounded.

Before he could speak, Dugou Qingping rolled her eyes.

“You wish, I’m just sending you on your way.”

Zhou Wu was speechless.

Dugou Qingping patted the box on the ox cart.

“This is my dowry, including the ox cart and the old man.”

Zhou Wu pointed to the old man who was concentrating on driving the cart, his back to them.

“Him? Your dowry?”

“Yes, my family, plus two mu of paddy fields and three thatched houses.”

Zhou Wu fell silent, digesting the information before him.

Dugou Qingping sent him off for ten days.

During these ten days, she forced Zhou Wu to memorize the mantra she conveyed.

He couldn’t miss a single word, wrong one, punish ten, recite it ten times from the beginning.

Dugou Qingping finally waved goodbye to Zhou Wu ten days later.

Zhou Wu looked at her thin figure standing alone in the cold wind, and surprisingly felt a sense of reluctance.

The old man driving the ox cart was deaf and mute, and couldn’t talk to Zhou Wu.

Zhou Wu could only ponder the mantra he had just memorized and Dugou Qingping’s interpretation.

The top-level technique of Soul Severing Cliff, the Soul Cutting Technique.

It is divided into three levels. The first level is called Soul Loss. Once mastered, it will make the opponent lose their mind instantly.

In a duel, as long as one is distracted, life is over.

It can be seen how powerful this method is.

However, the requirements are very strict, the threshold is high, and it is difficult for ordinary people to successfully cultivate.

The second level is called Soul Scattering.

However, Dugou Qingping told Zhou Wu that perhaps her father could reach the first level.

As for the second level, she had never heard her father mention it. None of her ancestors had ever been able to practice it.

Zhou Wu could see that Dugou Qingping’s status in Soul Severing Cliff was not low, and her background was probably strong, so her words were highly credible.

As for the last level, Dugou Qingping only said the name, Soul Severing Earthy Cliff.

There is no need to elaborate on the details, because those who can practice this level are no longer mortals, and should ascend to the sky to become gods.

The power of this level can be judged from the name alone.

No matter where the opponent runs to, to the ends of the earth, all it takes is a thought, and you will die.

Zhou Wu traveled west all the way, for an unknown distance.

Soul Severing Cliff had already arranged an identity for him. He only needed to rush to his destination, settle down, and on the surface, be a law-abiding citizen.

Then, secretly accept Dugou Qingping’s assassination missions.

The ox cart walked slowly, and the road was also difficult to travel.

He couldn’t travel far in one day, and it was all barren mountains and ridges, and the land was barren.

Zhou Wu kept Dugou Qingping’s words in mind. When starting out, he had to be patient in everything and not use force at will.
