Chapter Twenty-Six: Successive Breakthroughs
A set of exquisite swordsmanship, and the unfinished exercises on the first petal, appeared on the inner wall of the petals, and there were two sets of very peculiar exercises.
One of them is called Hidden Rest, and this set of exercises actually has only one function, that is, it can hide people's cultivation and prevent people from easily seeing it.
Of course, there is a range, now that Chu Yan is already a ninth-order master of the Awakening Realm, a cultivator of the Tongtian Realm, it is difficult to see his true cultivation, but if he encounters a real master, it will be a different matter.
After all, this gap can't be too big, and in the face of absolute strength, any camouflage is in vain.
Another set of exercises is called Bing Xin Jue, which can make people quickly calm down in the case of extreme irritability.
Don't underestimate the effect of this set of exercises, which will be of great benefit to cultivators.
On the extremely difficult and dangerous path of cultivation, going mad is the most dangerous and the most prone to happen.
At worst, the cultivation will be lost, and the person will be reduced to a wasted person, and at the worst, there will be a danger of losing one's life, but with this set of exercises, this risk can be minimized.
As for that set of swordsmanship, there is actually only one swordsmanship: the autumn wind rises, the figure is bleak, and the sword points to the sky and is angry to the sky.
Looking at this sword mantra, Chu Yan silently realized in his heart that it should be the same as that set of exercises, and it must continue to open as the petals continue to appear.
After a long time, Chu Yan slowly opened his eyes, and the two cold rays disappeared in a flash, he smiled unconsciously, looking very satisfied, and then closed his eyes again, urging the second stage of the exercise with all his might.
Time passed little by little, Chu Yan was still suspended in mid-air, and his body became both real and illusory.
In this way, I don't know how long it took, the glowing object actually came to the top of his head, and a stream of pure energy went down the top of Chu Yan's head, swimming in the meridians extremely quickly.
"Boom ......"
After unremitting efforts, the bottleneck was finally smashed again, and Chu Yan's cultivation also came to the first order of the transcendent realm.
One Sunday, two Sundays......
Chu Yan didn't get up immediately, but continued to run the exercises in his body, filling the almost dry dantian......
It wasn't until ninety-nine eighty-one weeks later that he opened his eyes, and the phantom of the sea of consciousness, and the luminous body here, had already merged together, floating not far away, trembling with excitement.
I don't know why, what was originally ethereal and illusory like a shadow has now become much more solid.
Although it still looks like a shadow, it can be clearly seen that the hundreds of millions of stars in the shadow are slowly flowing, exuding a faint light.
Seeing this, Chu Yan was overjoyed and walked over quickly, but who would have thought that the phantom actually retreated, and it didn't seem to like him very much.
"Ah, you're still energetic. Chu Yan scolded, and he had already rushed forward like a fly, but at some point, there was actually an extra sword in his hand, a long sword of blue waves and autumn water.
This was given to him by Chu Zhantian, although it is not a peerless divine weapon, but since it can be treasured by the Chu family, it is definitely not comparable to ordinary weapons.
But as soon as the two came into contact, the long sword immediately broke in two, without dragging mud and water, just like cutting tofu.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Chu Yan couldn't help but gasp, watching the phantom jump in place a few times, as if he was cheering, laughing at his incompetence, and couldn't help but be even more angry.
After looking around, Chu Yan found that there were a lot of big stones on the ground, so he picked them up and smashed them all at once.
But without exception, these stones, no matter how big or small, were shattered by the cold light and turned into powder before they touched the sword body.
After tossing and turning like this for a while, Chu Yan was tired and sweating, sitting on the ground panting, and the phantom was suspended in mid-air unharmed, still exuding light.
Chu Yan was really curious, and kept looking at the phantom to take a closer look, and in a trance, he seemed to hear a voice.
"Lonely Shadow ......" Chu Yan muttered to himself, could it be the name of this sword?
It's just that this is the first time he's seen such a long sword.
"Stinky boy, why are you here?" At this moment, a figure appeared at the entrance of the temple, limping, covered in blood, and the look of shock was overflowing.
As soon as the words fell, Chu Yan was suddenly startled, he didn't expect that there was a second person in this deserted underground ancient city, so he instantly bounced up and looked at it vigilantly.
It was none other than the leader of the group of mercenaries, with a hideous smile on his face, his whole body was scarred, and the left side of his abdomen was particularly serious, and his flesh and blood were blurred.
"Why are you still dead?" Chu Yan stabilized his mind and looked at the middle-aged man carefully, it seemed that this guy was now at the end of his crossbow and was seriously injured.
"You kid isn't dead yet, how dare I die. The middle-aged man smiled coldly: "But your kid's life is big enough, you actually survived and ran here." ”
Seeing that this guy was leaning against the wall of the entrance, and he didn't mean to do it immediately, Chu Yan knew that he was recovering his strength.
But there is nothing to be afraid of, right now he is already a first-order cultivator of the transcendent realm, although there is still a big gap between the two, but now the middle-aged man is covered in bruises and scars.
But Chu Yan is different, not only has his cultivation broken through again and again, but the injuries on his body have also healed, and most importantly, he has a divine weapon by his side, and it seems that the middle-aged man did not notice it.
After thinking about it, Chu Yan's uneasy mood slowly calmed down, and in total, it was better to probe this guy's tone now.
"Alas...... Now that we're all trapped here, no one wants to go out, so why don't we talk and relieve our boredom?"
"Okay, what are you talking about?"
The middle-aged man did not hesitate, secretly took out a pill and crushed it, wiped it on the left side of his abdomen, and saw a burst of green light smoke slowly floating, and the middle-aged man gritted his teeth and looked very hard.
Seeing this, Chu Yan was secretly startled, and his footsteps subconsciously moved backwards.
How could all this escape the eyes of the middle-aged man, knowing that he had already noticed it, but now let alone killing the past, the middle-aged man didn't even have the strength to walk over, but he was afraid that Chu Yan would take the opportunity to slip away, so he rolled his eyes and had a way.
"I know what you kid wants to talk about, do you want to know who paid for your life?"
"What, you know what?"
Seeing that this trick really worked, the middle-aged man was secretly proud, and then looked over: "How could I not know that the person who wants your life has spent a lot of money." ”
"Don't be clever here, at best you are an errand runner, how can the customer's information be known. ”
As soon as these words came out, the middle-aged man was secretly surprised, but he didn't expect Chu Yan to be very old, and he knew quite a lot.
Yes, he really doesn't know who the customer is, and this kind of thing has never been their responsibility.
Every time the organization has a dedicated person to take over the business, and people like him are only responsible for the action, kill the target, and then collect the money and leave.
"What's the matter, I guessed it, you don't have anything to say, right?"
Saying that, Chu Yan smiled proudly: "In this way, let's talk about it, how did you recognize me, and who passed the message to you?"
He thought very well, and understood that it was impossible for these people to know the customer's information, which was also for security reasons, in case these mercenaries were bought with heavy profits, and then turned against the water, then the customer would be in danger.
So if you want to find out who the leaders behind these people are, maybe you can find some clues.
However, it is destined that Chu Yan's wishful thinking will fail.
To put it mildly, the middle-aged man is also an old man in the organization, and in his more than ten years of killer career, he has carried out many missions, and he has never missed.
But until now, he has never seen anyone in the organization, even where the organization is, and who the real owner is, he doesn't know this, and every time he transmits information to each other through special means.
"Looks like I'm underestimating you. The middle-aged man smiled awkwardly: "Yes, I really don't know who wants your life, but I can guess, do you want to hear it?"
Seeing that Chu Yan didn't speak, just looked at himself with a smile, the middle-aged man thought for a while and said, "It's actually very simple, the person who wants your life is the person from your Chu family." Now everyone in the Yanhuang Ancient Kingdom knows that your deep Chu Zhantian couple is valued and loved, there must be someone who is afraid that you will take the position of the head of the family in the future, so they will start as soon as possible, if it were me, I would do the same, this is a war, I am afraid that if I lose, I will not even be able to save my life. ”
"Jokes, the position of the head of a family, let you talk as if there is a war between two countries, it is really a strange talk in the world. Chu Yan didn't care and smiled disdainfully.
"What, you kid don't believe it?"
As he spoke, the middle-aged man shook his head: "It's no wonder, although you are very smart, but you have not yet entered the WTO, in the face of interests, especially in a big family like yours, how about brothers? What about fathers and sons? These are all farts, they are not as good as the supreme head of the family." ”
"Nonsense, this ...... How is this possible?"
"I don't believe it yet, right, then let me ask you, Chu Zhantian is the current head of the Chu family, so have you ever seen or heard of any news about his brothers and sisters? The Chu family has a big business and many clansmen, Chu Zhantian can't be the only seedling, right?"
Seeing Chu Yan stammering, he was speechless for a while, and the middle-aged man continued: "You won't turn your eyes against your relatives and kill each other for the position of the head of the family, but this doesn't mean that others won't do it, and you're still young, and when you taste the pleasure of power, maybe you'll do the same, and you'll do it even better." ”
"This is an out-and-out game, there is no gunsmoke, only winners, as for the losers, just laugh at the life that can prolong their hunger. ”
Chu Yan stood in place in a daze, distracted for a moment.
The middle-aged man said well, there are many people in the Chu family, not to mention tens of thousands, and the business is all over every corner of the Yanhuang Ancient Kingdom, but he really hasn't heard anyone mention the news about Chu Zhantian's brothers and sisters.
Seeing that the time was ripe, the middle-aged man finally had a move, and a short rest and an elixir had already restored some of his strength.
But he also knew very well in his heart that in his current situation, there was only one chance, and if Chu Yan was allowed to dodge this fatal blow, I am afraid it would be difficult to say.
