Chapter 16: Secrets

At noon, the dazzling sunlight passed through the forest and turned into specks of light scattered on the wooden houses. A few round kingfishers paced the rooftop, their slender beaks feeding on small insects in the cracks, and every now and then they let out a cheerful crunch or two.

At this moment, the entire wooden house trembled violently, and the wooden door was violently rushed open with a powerful force. The frightened kingfisher didn't care about the delicious insects, and in the blink of an eye, they flew away without a trace.

Chang Xi, who was dressed in a blue and white robe, walked out of the wooden house, although the robe was as wet as if he had just been fished out of the water, and the whole person was half-hunched and panting as if he had collapsed, but he couldn't hide the ecstasy between his eyebrows.

"Mid-stage of Qi Refining Realm!"

Although he was ecstatic in his heart, Chang Xi was still afraid in his heart. It was estimated that one or two more Yang Yuan Pills would be able to break through the initial bottleneck, but he never thought that even if he took this extremely cherished Yang Jing Pill, the surging medicinal power would only be enough to break through the bottleneck shackles. After this incident, Chang Xi finally had a full understanding of his "miserable qualifications", and if he was not fully prepared in the future, he would never be able to do such a reckless thing as today.

But the promotion was a success. Promoted from the early stage of the Qi Refining Realm to the middle stage of the Qi Refining Realm, the spiritual power cyclone at Chang Xi's dantian seemed to be no different from before at first glance. But if you look closely, you can find that the spiritual power in the cyclone is several times more condensed than the previous purity? Not only is the degree of spiritual power condensed, but the color of the spiritual power has also changed from extremely pale blue to light blue like a stream.

"Since becoming a disciple of Qingyun Mountain, I haven't opened a bow again, and today just happened to be matched with this spirit protection technique that can only be used in the middle of the Qi Refining Realm, and the power must be amazing. Feeling the strong horizontal force coming from the loose grip between his fingers, Chang Xi couldn't help but secretly look forward to it.

The bow and arrow were taken out of the room, and the scarred iron willow bow rubbed against the familiar feeling in the palm, and the sharp arrow cluster pointed straight to the sky.

"Soul Protector!"

Chang Xi exhaled deeply, and the spiritual power in the cyclone was mobilized and suddenly became agitated, rushing to his arms, forming an extremely thin but extremely tough light blue spiritual power film on the surface of his arms and extending between his five fingers. The tenacious bowstrings that were wrapped around the middle finger only suppressed the thin film of spiritual power that covered the middle finger a little. The right step was back, and the huge force of his feet rolled up the layers of dirt on the ground. As the bowstring was pulled to the full moon, the terrifying pressure from the bowstring wrapped around his fingers still did not have much effect on the spiritual film.

In the battle in Dawu Mountain in the middle of winter, Chang Xi almost destroyed his fingers with a self-realized "storm style" that only pulled the bowstring just over halfway. And now that this move is being pushed to the extreme, there is no need to worry about the risk of injury.

"Stormy!"

With Chang Xi's fierce shout, the iron willow bow with the bow body bent to the extreme burst out with incredible terrifying power at this moment, and the high-speed rotating iron feather arrow rolled up a fierce arrow wind in this forest, turning into a little cold light in the fallen leaves flying all over the sky and soaring straight into the sky!

If this scene is seen by the archery masters in the rivers and lakes, they will definitely be shocked and can't believe it. The power of this arrow can be terrifying to ordinary people just by looking at it, not to mention its power, those who touch it will definitely die!

"The range of the storm type is more than 100 zhang, and if it is the middle stage of the Qi Refining Realm that is similar to me within 100 zhang to urge the spirit protector to block it, I am afraid that the storm type will not have much effect, but if it is within 50 zhang, the middle one will die. Carefully feeling the strength of the spiritual power film attached to his arms, Chang Xi had a general understanding of his strength. But soon the excited face collapsed. "Qingyun Mountain is a sect that uses swords, if I can only use arrows, I'm afraid that Qingfeng Sect will not kill me..."

"Hey, let's practice swords, although archery is good, but you can't be greedy, you have to complement each other with swordsmanship. Chang Xi smiled, walked back to the house, hung the iron willow bow on the wall, and reached out to pick up the leather scabbard lying on the bed.

"It's... What's going on?!" As soon as Yuehong started, Chang Xi felt a little different from before. As his cultivation reached the middle stage of the Qi Refining Realm, his ability to perceive subtle spiritual power was also much stronger than that of the early stage of the Qi Refining Realm. Chang Xi looked at Yuehong in his hand, his eyes were full of incredulity at this time, and his hands trembled slightly.

"The breath flowing from the Rainbow Sword... It turned out to be exactly the same as my spiritual power breath..."Calming the doubts in his heart a little, Chang Xi sat on the bed, opened the leather buckle of the scabbard, and gently pulled out the jade-like moon rainbow. A touch of cold sword light reflected on the sword body overshadowed the bright sunlight that was originally shining in the room at this moment.

Chang Xi held the moon rainbow that was no more than two fingers wide, and gently stroked the cold sword body with his left hand, as if he was out of his mind: "At the time of the first class of Tianxiu Peak, it was always too eye-catching to bring a bow and arrows, so I brought you." Now that I think about it, when the impact of the Qi Refining Realm was blocked, it was thanks to the pure spiritual power that surged from behind that I was able to break through the bottleneck and break through to the Qi Refining Realm. At that time, behind me, wasn't it you, Yuehong..."

My thoughts brought up memories of the past three years. How many rivers and mountains have been traversed by one person, one bow and one sword, and how many life and death tribulations have been gone through to have such a peaceful time now. After looking at the leather scabbard on the side, which was already a little worn, Chang Xi laughed at himself: "Three years are vivid in my memory now." We are like brothers in adversity. Without you, I would never have survived with the Iron Willow Bow alone. Now I'm wearing this robe like a dog, and my brother is still using the scabbard I used to piece together animal skins. As if he could sense Chang Xi's state of mind at this time, the spiritual power in the Moon Rainbow Sword that was in the same vein as Chang Xi turned into wisps of light blue trickle visible to the naked eye, gently wrapping Chang Xi's hand holding the hilt of the sword, flowing slowly, as if wordless comfort.

"Look at you carefully, but the light on the sword is not as clear and bright as before. Back then, you almost split half of the Jiao Mountain with a sword, but in the past three years, there has been no movement, and it was not until I entered the Qingyun Mountain cultivation that you gradually began to react. In this way, it seems that you must have been seriously injured back then, and you need spiritual power to recuperate slowly, right? It seems that I am going to step up my cultivation, and the pressure is quite high. Chang Xi said with a smile, but there was no trace of a smile on his face.

"I won't insult you. Chang Xi said seriously to Yuehong, word by word.

Chang Xi picked up his sword and walked outside the house, pulled out a sword flower in the air and said with a smile: "Try to see how many sword moves you have mastered in the past few days." After speaking, I saw Chang Xi looking straight ahead, taking a step back with his right step, his right shoulder and the toe of his right foot were level, and his right hand was holding the moon rainbow behind his sleeve. The left knee is slightly arched, the left hand is pinched into a sword finger and is three inches in front of the chest, but the index finger and middle finger are slightly split and not completely together. The spiritual power cyclone in the dantian had already rotated rapidly, and the light blue spiritual power that traveled all over the body stirred up an invisible aura with Chang Xi as the center, and a sudden upward momentum erupted! Chang Xi's eyes flashed, and all the spiritual power of his whole body was poured into the moon rainbow, and the light blue light of the moon rainbow sword body skyrocketed, and the spiritual power in the sword and Chang Xi's spiritual power were born in the same vein, and they all resonated perfectly.

"Jun pick!" The moon rainbow held in Chang Xi's right hand suddenly slanted from the bottom right to the top left at a sharp angle, and the domineering sword momentum stirred up a gust of wind and rushed straight to the treetops overhead, and the branches were brutally broken by the wind. The fall was only for a moment, and Chang Xi, who used a style of "Jun Pick", changed by the trend, and crossed the moon rainbow raised above his head in a half-arc, and struck a blow "Jun Pick" again from the bottom left to the right up. The fragile branches could not withstand this series of destruction, and they were soon broken in two by the domineering sword. But the sword in Chang Xi's hand did not stop, the spiritual power in his chest was agitated, and his right shoulder was pulled back and handed back, and the sword momentum turned into a thorn, and the sharp momentum was even sharper.

"Star Thorn!" The moon rainbow in his hand turned into a thin light that was difficult to catch with the naked eye under the acceleration of the surging spiritual power, and stabbed straight towards the broken branch at an astonishing speed. The unfortunate branch was stabbed again by the thin light and broken in two.

"Huh?" After the star stab, Chang Xi carefully felt the sword momentum that should have ended here, and couldn't help but feel surprised. The Star Thorn has high requirements for the user's sword speed, but this kind of sword speed is also too much for beginners, like this morning with a peachwood sword to use this style of Star Thorn is to feel that the right arm is extremely sore, and the sword momentum is no longer sustainable. But now that he is using Yuehong to use this type of star thorn, he feels that he still has power left! How can this make Chang Xi not surprised, how can he not be happy?

Seeing that the power of the star thorn was about to be exhausted, Chang Xi gritted his teeth and urged the spirit protection technique, and the spiritual power that traveled all over his body suddenly gathered on his right arm to form a tough light blue spiritual power film. At the same time, the right arm suddenly exerted force, and the legs interacted to balance the body, and handed the sword out again. A thin light flashed, and another branch was suddenly pierced in two.

"The flow of spiritual power in the moon rainbow has guided my spirit power to make many fine-tuning in operation, reducing some of the original lengthy movements, and saving a lot of spiritual power! The moon rainbow itself is perfecting the moves I use?!" Shocked, Chang Xi used the second star thorn in a row, and he already felt the same soreness as in the morning, although he felt that it was very likely to use the third thorn in his heart, but he did not act recklessly.

Deeply exhaling a mouthful of mixed breath in his chest, shaking his sore right arm, Chang Xi looked at Yuehong in his hand, which was full of spiritual power, and shook his head with a wry smile.

"My moon rainbow, you really have a lot of secrets..."
