110: Many skills are always a burden

When Tang Ku emerged from the Slanting Moon Three Stars Cave, his mind was still a bit muddled.

Patriarch Bodhi didn't teach him anything particularly special, just a very basic breathing technique called the Qi Nurturing Art.

That's right, it was such a simple and old-fashioned name, and the old man came up with it on the spot.

The old man told him that this was a small part of a complete Cultivation Technique, and given his current cultivation method and strength, this bit of Qi Nurturing skill was already sufficient.

Patriarch Bodhi told him that the original name of this Cultivation Technique was “Kunpeng Mystic Skill”!

As soon as he learned it, Tang Ku tried out the effect of the Cultivation Technique when it was circulating, and sure enough, all the magic power on his body was “slowly” recovering.

It was indeed slow; if a dozen seconds were considered slow, then it was indeed too slow.

Whether it was the Buddha Power on his body or the energy from the Vajra Zen Skill, all the lost power fully recovered within twenty seconds, and he felt extremely full of energy, in an excited state where he could even kill a few tigers.

“This is truly ridiculous, like ridiculous's mother opening the door for ridiculous, it's ridiculous to the extreme! This really proves the old saying, ‘More skills never weigh one down!’” Tang Ku looked at his hands on the mountain and smiled bitterly, “Do you think if I directly took him as my master, it would mess up the hierarchy?”

He glanced at the originally thriving peach trees, but Tang Ku sighed again, because at this moment, most of the peach trees and plants with Spiritual Qi on the mountain had already withered and died.

“Did that one breath just now exhaust all the Spiritual Qi on this mountain? Is that why there’s such a miraculous effect?” Tang Ku chuckled, “This Patriarch Bodhi, he’s truly given me a great gift! And…”

And Iron Fist Points… adding what he gained from rescuing the Bull Demon King, plus the previous battles, and the move he exchanged with Patriarch Bodhi today… his Iron Fist Points actually reached a terrifying 18 points.

And of these, 9 points, which is half, were gained from the move he exchanged with Patriarch Bodhi!

“That means his power is truly terrifying… Perhaps it’s not at all like Great Immortal Zhenyuan said, that he’s far from reaching the Saint Realm; perhaps he’s just hiding his strength!”

Tang Ku had checked with the System at the beginning, and his data, like Darwin’s before, was all question marks, showing how strong he was, so strong that even the System couldn't detect it.

“What I needed to tell you and teach you today, I’ve basically given you everything, and it’s time for the Slanting Moon Three Stars Cave to close!” Patriarch Bodhi said, “You must remember, there is a fixed number in the unseen, no matter what decisions you make in the future, as long as you don’t go against your true heart… Hmm, also, you will face a great battle after you go out, because the enemy also has someone skilled in divination, who has already calculated my existence, so they will definitely come to attack the Three Stars Cave, and this will be your first battle after you go out, just right to hone your new moves…”

After saying this, his figure gradually faded and disappeared in front of Tang Ku, and Tang Ku’s vision blurred, and he was already teleported out of the Slanting Moon Three Stars Cave.

Tang Ku looked at the sky and said helplessly, “This old man, his calculations are truly accurate!”

In mid-air, a crowd of winged bird-men, dressed in armor and holding weapons, swooped down from above, and the leader, standing about four meters tall, had twelve white wings bristling behind him like a full beard. From Tang Ku’s perspective, he looked as ugly as could be!

“I am Gabriel, the strongest Seraphim Archangel! Heretic, are you from the Slanting Moon Three Stars Cave?”

This fellow stood high above, holding a long spear, with half a metal mask on his face, looking quite mysterious.

His aura was much stronger than the two demons before!

However, Tang Ku didn't pay much attention to this. He thought for a moment, then tilted his head and said, “Hmm… I guess I am. Why, are you interested in Dao? Do you want to join the Three Stars Cave? Then I can introduce you! Don’t worry, I won’t charge any fees!”

“Hmph, arrogant heretic!” The one who called himself Gabriel squinted at him dismissively, “If you surrender now and believe in my Lord, I can still show you mercy and spare your life, otherwise, I will cast you into Hell to suffer endless torture!”

“By the way, are you really Gabriel?” Tang Ku looked at him with an even more disdainful gaze and said, “As far as I know, Archangels usually have six wings. Who sewed on your twelve wings?”

Gabriel’s mouth twitched: “This is power personally bestowed by the Lord, allowing me to, on my original basis…”

“Alright, alright, I don’t have time to listen to your nonsense!” Tang Ku waved his hand, interrupting him, “Even if I am the heretic you speak of, you won’t have the chance to cast me into your so-called Hell, because that place isn’t your God’s territory at all. By the way, has he really defeated Lucifer and reclaimed jurisdiction over Hell?

Heh heh, come on, don’t try to glorify yourselves, a bunch of winged bird-men, do you really think you’re angels? I advise you, either join my sect and become a monk, or join the Three Stars Cave and become a Daoist, then I can still show you mercy and not pluck your feathers, otherwise, I will definitely tear off your wings and roast them to eat!”

“Ah… Heretic, I will kill you, kill you… Angels, Light Feather Arrows, purify him!”

Swish!

The angels, male and female, tall and short, fat and thin, moved with surprising uniformity. They suddenly drew their longbows behind them, gently pulling the bowstrings, and a white feather shimmering with golden light instantly floated down from their wings, transforming into streaks of light arrows the moment it landed on the bowstring, gradually solidifying.

“Fire!”

Swish!

A sky full of arrows suddenly enveloped Tang Ku. Roughly estimated, there were over two hundred angels, and their method of firing arrows was continuous!

Swish swish swish swish…

Like dark clouds, thousands of arrows had already completely enveloped Tang Ku.

“Alas, why bother? Poor Monk actually doesn’t want to send you all to Hell!”

With the Turtle Shell Divine Skill activated, thousands upon thousands of feather arrows meant thousands upon thousands of attack points, which instantly transformed into thousands upon thousands of defense points. Although ranged attacks couldn't reflect damage, with this, his defense power had already increased by 10,000 points, a scarlet 10,000 points!

“It seems 10,000 points is the defense limit!” He smacked his lips, looking at the data that was no longer increasing.

Seeing countless angels in mid-air, realizing their attacks were ineffective, charging up with their swords, Tang Ku couldn't help but curve his lips into a smile, saying lightly, “Hunting time begins!”
