Chapter 7: The Tavern's Change
A year later, there was a waterfall on the outskirts of Bloodblade Mountain. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Whew!"
A splash of water splashed, and a figure broke out of the deep pool below the waterfall, holding a half-sized snake head in his hand. The figure turned over and landed on the rocks by the waterhole, a young man. The young man casually threw the snake's head aside and shook the straight-backed knife in his right hand.
"This red-eyed snake demon beast, although it is a black iron level demon beast, but its strength should have surpassed the peak of the black iron level, and in the water, it is even more difficult, I am still easy to kill, it seems that it is necessary to go deep into the Blood Blade Mountain and find a more powerful demon beast to practice the knife." "This young man is none other than Yao Chen, who is cultivating in the Blood Blade Mountain. After a year of grinding, 16-year-old Yao Chen has faded the last trace of immaturity, and his demeanor is more calm.
In a year, Yao Chen killed no less than dozens of powerful demon beasts! Brute beasts are comparable to the strength of ordinary spirits, once they are comparable to the strength of title-level spirits, they are called demon beasts, and it is rumored that powerful demon beasts are not weaker than the strong ones among human beings.
Sharpening his sword skills and fighting spirit in actual combat, Yao Chen's knife skills are now more mellow and rudimentary, and his combat consciousness is more sophisticated. Yao Chen learned from the practice miscellaneous notes given by his father that there is a realm in the knife technique, called the unity of man and knife, Yao Chen feels that after a year of fighting, he has begun to feel a trace of meaning.
The realm of the unity of man and knife is extremely difficult to achieve, and anyone who has reached this realm can be called a master of knife skills! In the hands of a master of knife skills, even if it is an ordinary chop, it is extremely ingenious and extremely lethal!
In order to achieve the unity of man and sword, every move must first be able to be perfect. Yao Chen has experienced a year of tempering, and every move in the sword technique has begun to have its own artistic conception, approaching perfection as one.
"The combat skill that my father gave me, the Eighteen Slashes of the Tempest, is a high-level sword technique in the Black Iron Realm, and its power is not as powerful as my Arc Moon Slash, but the speed of the knife is extremely fast, which just makes up for the lack of my sword technique. Yao Chen pondered, "I have now integrated the Eighteen Swords of the Tempest into my Arc Moon Slash, my sword is faster and more fierce, and the time to swing the eighteen swords is half of the original!"
"After a year of tempering, my Black Iron Battle Body cultivation has been successful, thanks to the merits of the earth marrow fluid. "Yao Chen's cultivation of the Black Iron Battle Body is several times faster than ordinary people. Where do ordinary people have so much earth marrow fluid consumption, and the speed of absorbing earth marrow fluid is also extremely slow, the interval is very long, Yao Chen's physique has changed, and the absorption speed is extremely fast, and the interval is only three hours, so that in just one year, the black iron battle body can be completely trained.
"The black iron battle body, once activated, the strength and speed are doubled! And the flesh is tough, ordinary brute beasts can hardly hurt the slightest, only demon beasts can break through my flesh and blood defense in a limited way!"
"The spiritual power has also reached the peak of the black iron realm!" Yao Chen has the help of the battle spirit, and the absorption of spiritual power is 10 times faster, and Yao Yunfeng gave Yao Chen a mental method that can be cultivated to the bronze level, the 'Lingyun Mental Method', which is a high-level mental method, and it is not slow to cultivate, and it is normal to reach the peak of the black iron level in a year.
Ordinary people cultivate, if they want to reach the peak of a realm, it takes a lot of time, and even if it is a small stage within the same big realm, there are bottlenecks, and it is not that it takes time to be able to cultivate to the peak. Yao Chen's cultivation was extremely fast and smooth, in addition to the reason for the battle spirit, his own qualifications were also excellent.
"War Spirit, not only can I fight independently, but in the past year, I have successfully fused the War Spirit with myself, and my strength can be doubled!
The fusion of the battle soul and the ontology, this is a wonderful process, Yao Chen also discovered this trick in the continuous practice of a year, after the fusion, the ontology obtains an unknown power, which can not only increase the power, but also make the moves more mysterious, but this kind of mystery Yao Chen can't understand yet. The battle spirit fights independently, which is comparable to half of the combat power of Yao Chen's body, and when it is fused into the body, it can actually double the combat power of the body!
The disadvantage is that the battle soul fusion body can only hold on to two or three breaths.
Even if it is a title-level Black Iron Spirit Warrior, there are only a few people who can have the resources to train into a Black Iron Battle Body, Yao Chen has consumed a full three pots of Earth Marrow Liquid in one year, plus the Battle Spirit helps to accelerate his cultivation, this is the only way to train into a Black Iron Battle Body. Yao Chen's current combat power, even if it does not stimulate the battle spirit and battle body, it has already surpassed the peak of the black iron realm, if the battle spirit and battle body are stimulated, Yao Chen does not know how much power he can exert.
The self-created combat technique Arc Moon Slash has also made a huge breakthrough. Yao Chen used to be able to comprehend the sword technique behind closed doors, and his comprehension of the knife technique was extremely high, and now he has been fighting in the Blood Blade Mountain for a year, and he has no distractions to study, and the arc moon slash has evolved into three forms.
Arc Moon Slash, the first ordinary form, from the reference to the Eighteen Slashes of the Wind, the original limit of fifteen slashes, has become the Arc Moon Eighteen Slashes, the strongest sword is three meters wide, and eighteen swords in a row, even in the top black iron combat skills, it is considered strong.
The second type, strengthened Arc Moon Slash, after activating the black iron battle body, the power speed soars, and the Arc Moon Slash becomes an enhanced form, not only the sword reaches a terrifying five meters, but the last eight knives can achieve a short period of overlap and double the attack power under the extreme urging of power!
The third type, the ultimate arc moon slash, if the battle soul is combined again, the arc moon slash evolves into the ultimate state, and the wonderful power brought by the war soul is obtained, Yao Chen feels that the power of the ultimate arc moon slash is difficult for him to grasp.
So far, the Ultimate Arc Moon Slash is still being worked on.
Now Yao Chen's strength is difficult to challenge on the periphery of Blood Blade Mountain.
"Could it be that you want to find a demon beast comparable to a bronze-level spirit warrior to practice the sword?" Yao Chen hesitated, he didn't know how powerful the bronze-level spirit was.
When a spiritual priest reaches the title level, he can be regarded as a real person who has entered the hall and become a strong person on the path of cultivation. There are four levels of titles: Black Iron, Bronze, Silver, and Gold, and there is a huge gap between each of them.
"Well, it's time to go back and have a look. Yao Chen has been in the mountains for a year, and he has been sleeping in the open air, although it is natural and casual, but he also begins to miss the warmth of home. As soon as he said go, Yao Chen immediately left.
Half a month later, Yao Chen, dressed in black, returned to the gate of the Blood Blade Tavern.
"Huh?" Yao Chen saw that the door of the tavern was closed, and his heart tightened, and the battle spirit appeared illusory above his head, and he was within a radius of several miles.
"What!" Yao Chen was shocked to find that there were people in the tavern, but they didn't have the smell of his own relatives! Moreover, the tavern felt like it had been searched, and it was a mess!
"Bastard!" Yao Chen guessed something in an instant, and he was furious and kicked open the door of the tavern.
"Bang!"
The door was kicked off and smashed directly onto the table surrounded by four people who were drinking and eating meat in the hall, splashing a puddle of wine and food.
"Who!"
"Look for death!!"
After a few loud shouts, the four men stood up and took out their weapons. Of the four men, one Scarface was clearly the leader, carrying a broadsword, the other three, one was a tall fat man with a hammer, one was an ordinary middle-aged man with a knife, and the other was an old man with a bag of short spears on his back and a short sword in his hand.
These four people are all fierce, Yao Chen looked around, and there were some metal armors scattered, it seemed that these four people were taking off and drinking. Seeing those armors, Yao Chen's eyes shrank, it was the imperial standard armor!
"Imperial officers and soldiers," Yao Chen's eyes were cold, "It doesn't matter who he is, subdue him first!"
"Be careful, hard idea!" Scarface saw Yao Chen's gaze, and his heart chuckled, and that gaze was as cold as a beast. Yao Chen had been fighting with the Blood Blade Mountain Demon Beast for a long time, and naturally had a savage aura.
Yao Chen moved, and he didn't even draw his knife.
"Bang!" The tall fat man only felt a flower in front of him, and was trampled under his feet by Yao Chen, half of his body fell to the floor, and he vomited blood in his mouth.
The ordinary-looking middle-aged man raised his knife and slashed, and was directly hit by Yao Chen's big knife with a palm, and then hit the wall of the tavern with a palm and couldn't move.
The old man didn't dare to step forward, and wanted to step back and draw out the short spear behind his back to throw, but he was directly kicked by Yao Chen and flew to the second floor, unconscious.
There's only one Scarface left.
"This ...... The adult ...... "Scarface doesn't have the slightest ferocity at the moment, the four of them are all level 9 spirits, but Yao Chen's strength that he easily showed is far beyond the realm of ordinary spirits, except for title-level spirits, Scarface can't think of a reasonable explanation anymore."
"Say, what are you doing here, what about the original owner of the tavern?" Yao Chen's powerful momentum pressed Scarface's face, and asked in a cold voice. Yao Chen had already guessed that there was likely to be an official person from the empire behind it, and the official tavern of the Adventurer Alliance was not something that anyone could occupy, but if an imperial officer with sufficient status was involved, an ordinary tavern would be forcibly occupied, and it would be able to suppress the matter.
"Ahh......h Ordered...... Guarding here...... It's said to arrest people, no, wait for someone to ......"
"What about the original owner of the tavern?" Yao Chen asked.
"Taken away...... Scarface struggled to think, "I don't know where it went...... Our order is to close the tavern and wait here to catch the people who come back...... Just catch, or pass on...... The news ...... "Scarface said this, and suddenly a spirit, this one in front of him, is it their goal of waiting for the rabbit!?"
"Oh my God, don't you play with us, okay......" Scarface felt extremely sour in his heart, "Let's arrest a title-level powerhouse, isn't this a post-mortem to die." ”
"Three Creek City. "Yao Chen knows that Sanxi City, which is at the intersection of Sanxi more than a hundred miles away from the tavern, is a center of this area, but it is not a big city, the city guard is called Zhou Ba, and the legend is that he is a bronze-level spiritual warrior, and there is a city guard army of about 1,000 people under his command, who is responsible for the security of this area.
"Who gave the order?" asked Yao Chen.
"This ......" Scarface hesitated, Yao Chen directly put Scarface's broadsword on his neck, and a trace of blood flowed.
"Okay!" Although Scarface is not a coward, but in the face of a title-level spiritual warrior, it is an idiot to be bold and stubborn, and he quickly said, "It's the second son of Lord Cheng Shou, Zhou He." ”
Yao Chen hadn't heard of it, after all, Yao Chen had only been to Sanxi City two or three times, and the most recent one was four years ago.
"They...... It's not hurt, is it?" asked Yao Chen with some apprehension in his heart.
"I ...... I know the situation, is there no ...... Those two men were fine when they were taken away more than a month ago. Scarface said.
"Huh, two people?" Yao Chen frowned.
"Yes, one is a tavern owner, named Yao ...... Something, one is an old friend of the tavern owner...... It is said that there was also a woman and a young man, but they seemed to have run away early......"
Yao Chen pondered, Scarface looked at Yao Chen nervously.
"It seems that my mother and brother should be fine for the time being......" Yao Chen analyzed Scarface's words, "Father and Uncle Zong Zhan have been arrested. It should be the cause of the earth pulp!" Yao Chen thought of this, and as soon as he slapped the broadsword in his hand, Scarface's face was knocked away, rolling and falling to the side without moving.
Yao Chen looked around, there were only four of them in the tavern, Yao Chen didn't have the intention of killing them, he left the tavern directly, came to a corner in the backyard, leaned over and removed a rock, revealing a stone slab below. Yao Chen turned over the stone slab, held a rope in his hand, and quickly pulled up a wooden box, Yao Chen opened the wooden box, and there were ten pots of earth pulp liquid quietly placed in it.
"The earth is still there. Yao Chen thought about it, and after taking out a pot, he still put the rest away.
Pulling out a brown horse from the backyard stable, it should have been left by those city guards, Yao Chen turned over his horse and ran towards Sanxi City.
"If the matter involves the city guard Zhou Ba, then I will most likely have to face a bronze-level spiritual priest. Yao Chen thought of a way on the road, "Go to the city to see the situation, in short, you must ensure the safety of your father first." ”
Even in the face of a bronze-level spirit warrior, Yao Chen's heart was full of fighting spirit, and he was trying to see how far his strength had reached.
