Ye Chen was trapped in the first-line cliff, and he got up at dawn every day to practice the knife technique, eating wolf meat when he was hungry, gnawing on pancakes, drinking the cold rock water dripping from the cliff wall when he was thirsty, and refining his physique before going to bed at night. Although he was trapped in the Jedi, he could not starve to death.

More than ten days have passed.

During this period, Ye Chen would go out every day to check on the situation of the wolves and see if they had left.

However, to Ye Chen's great disappointment, the gray wolves had no intention of evacuating.

Almost all the time, the gray wolves guarding outside have three at the least, and even more than twenty at the most. Even if the other gray wolves went hunting and hunting, there would always be a few gray wolves left, staring at the cliff.

The gray wolf pack had also tried to launch a sneak attack in the middle of the night, but Ye Chen was extremely alert, and arranged a simple string warning at the entrance of the first-line cliff, as long as the gray wolf touched it, the slightest movement could wake him up.

During a late-night sneak attack, the gray wolves once again left a corpse and withdrew, after which they never tried to break into the cliff again, and chose to defend to the death.

"The gray wolves will repay their eyes, and their patience is surprisingly strong, I have already killed two of them, and they will not leave easily if they don't kill me. They blocked me, mostly trying to wait for me to starve to death. ”

Ye Chen figured this out and was helpless.

He couldn't fight hard, so he simply calmed down for more than ten days, tried his best to temper his physique, and practiced the Tiger Leaping Sword Technique.

Ye Chen was already at the sixth layer of the refining stage, and there was a strong and vigorous qi and blood in his bone marrow.

The vigorous qi and blood filled the bones and could no longer grow.

He had already cultivated to the peak of the sixth layer of the body refining stage, and if he couldn't break through, his strength would not be able to grow any longer.

There is a huge difference between the sixth layer of the refining period and the seventh layer of the refining period.

Once you break through to the seventh layer of the refining stage, the qi and blood surging in the bone marrow are transformed into qi and blood essence. Qi and blood essence, flowing in the blood veins, emitting a faint blood-colored luster. Ordinary qi and blood do not have such luster.

At the same time, the warrior produces a sense of qi.

"Tiger Leap Triple Slash!"

On this night, after Ye Chen used the blood python grass to refine his physique, he only felt that the bones were soothing, and there was an inexhaustible strength, he immediately held the steel knife and skillfully performed the Tiger Leap Triple Slash.

In just more than ten days, the successful grasp of the Tiger Leap's triple slash has been improved to seventy, and the knife technique has been completed in one go.

"Poof!"

On the rock wall, a faint sharp knife mark nearly a foot long was drawn.

Ye Chen was stunned when he heard this, and stopped his knife technique.

"My blade obviously didn't touch the rock wall, how could it leave marks on the rock wall?"

"Could it be that it is sword qi?"

Ye Chen was shocked and ecstatic.

"Sword qi, this is the strong qi that can only be practiced after the martial artist's body is full of qi and blood in the late stage of body refining, and the ordinary qi and blood are transformed into qi and blood essence, and the qi energy is generated in the meridians, and it is attached to the blade and released. ”

Ye Chen couldn't believe it, he had cultivated his sword qi.

This means that the strength of entering the refining period is seventy percent!

He took a deep breath, poured all his strength again, and swung his knife.

There is no knife gas.

Ye Chen was slightly disappointed.

But he was not discouraged.

"Come again!"

Phew!

Ye Chen continued to practice the sword technique.

A moment later, a faint sword aura appeared again, emitting along the outside of the blade, about an inch long.

"I have broken through the seventh layer of the body refining stage! The medicinal power of the blood python grass is really domineering, stimulating the qi and blood to the peak, and the qi and blood essence was born in the bone marrow, and the qi and blood essence was cultivated. ”

Ye Chen finally saw it clearly this time.

He immersed himself and carefully felt the weak qi of the meridians in his body, the qi he had just cultivated was still too weak, and he had to be extremely careful to feel that qi moving.

Ye Chen couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Entering the seventh layer of the refining stage brings obvious benefits.

Breaking through the seventh layer of the refining period, the basic strength was increased to seven hundred catties. Now, he can attack the basic strength of 700 catties with the 'Tiger Leap Slash', the 'Tiger Leap 2 Slash' is 1,400 catties of strength, and the Tiger Leap 3 consecutive slash 2,100 catties of strength. As the cultivation improves, the power of the martial arts moves also increases.

This is only a small aspect.

For Ye Chen, there was a more important role in the seventh layer of the refining period.

"I am now in the late stage of body refining, and I can finally practice the last two moves of the Tiger Leaping Sword Technique, 'Arc Moon Slash' and 'Whirlwind Slash'. These two sword techniques require cultivation in the late stage of the body refining period. ”

"The first four strokes of the "Tiger Leaping Knife Method", whether it is drawing a knife, slashing, or slashing, are all against an enemy. ”

"But the fifth move, 'Arc Moon Slash', is in the form of a semi-circular arc moon in front of you, bursting out several sword qi with extreme speed, exploding in front of you, and you can deal with all enemies within the arc moon range in front of you at the same time. ”

"As for the sixth move, 'Whirlwind Slash', it is even more powerful, bursting out with more than nine sword qi, attacking all the enemies around him like a whirlwind. Once you cultivate into a whirlwind slash, you don't have to worry about being besieged again. Even if it is surrounded by many people, it can fight its way out like a storm, and it is extremely domineering and fierce. ”

"Of course, the whirlwind slash consumes too much energy, and to cultivate into a whirlwind slash, I'm afraid it will be at least the ninth layer of the body refining stage. A ninth-layer town state-level martial artist in the refining period can directly take the head of the enemy's general among thousands of troops, precisely because he has mastered the martial arts of attack with a similar range. ”

"The last two moves of the Tiger Leaping Sword Method are both range group attacks. It needs to be supported by the qi that is released from outside, so before the sixth layer of the body refining period, the martial artist cannot cultivate these two moves at all. ”

"The move of the Arc Moon Slash is not difficult, the difficult thing is that it needs the strength of the seventh layer or more in the refining period to support it. The reason why I am trapped in this line of cliffs is because I can't cope with the flanking and besieging of the gray blue wolf pack! If I master the 'Arc Moon Slash', I am still afraid of the gray blue wolf!"

Ye Chen's spirits were greatly lifted.

According to his memory, the cheats of the "Tiger Leaping Sword Method", he practiced the arc moon slash.

"Start cultivating the fifth move, 'Arc Moon Slash', today! There is still half a month to go, and the academy's graduation assessment will end. Before the end of the assessment, I tried to practice this trick, kill it, and return to Beilu Academy. ”

Ye Chen cultivated day and night.

This move consumes a lot of energy, and it doesn't take much effort, and it almost drains his energy.

He had to meditate and rest to regain his depleted energy.

Fortunately, there is a blood python grass, which constantly stimulates his qi and blood, converts qi and blood into qi and blood essence, strengthens his physique, and can also quickly recover his qi. The qi and blood essence in his body gradually became thicker, and his qi strength became thicker.

In the early morning of the ninth day.

Ye Chen cast the Arc Moon Slash, slashing out with one sword, and he could burst out four qi strengths. Although the strength of each qi is small, the attack power is at least seven hundred catties of basic strength.

"Today is the last day of the graduation assessment of Beilu Academy. The senior brothers who are hunting in the deep mountains have probably already returned to the Beilu Academy with their prey!"

"The arc moon slash's move is not yet fully mature, but it can't be delayed any longer, and it must be killed today!"

Ye Chen made up his mind and stepped out of the cliff.

"There are seven gray wolves guarding here today, two fewer than yesterday! ”

Ye Chen pondered for a moment, and did not dodge again, but appeared openly and openly holding a knife at the exit of the first-line cliff.

"Brute, come here and die! you've been blocking me here for nearly a month, and it's time to end it!"

Ye Chen leaned back against the cliff mouth, held the steel knife in both hands, stepped across the knife, the blade tilted slightly outward, flashing with a cold glow, and shouted defiantly.

The head wolf of the gray blue wolf pack, with a figure the size of a calf, stood up with a pair of green eyes with ferocity, staring at Ye Chen, the two clansmen who killed it. It couldn't understand what Ye Chen was saying, but it felt the blatant provocation of Ye Chen's move.

The other gray wolves in the surrounding jungle stood up one after another, slowly stepped forward, surrounded the cliff, their eyes showed a fierce light, let out a low roar, and looked at the head wolf slightly, waiting for the head wolf's attack order.

"Whew!"

The head wolf of the gray blue wolf pack raised his head and roared arrogantly, suddenly exerted his strength, and rushed towards Ye Chen first. It wants to take revenge and kill this guy who killed two of its clansmen and hid in a cliff and refused to come out.

The other gray wolves around him instantly launched and rushed towards Ye Chen one after another.

"Ten feet, five feet, two feet!

Ye Chen's eyes were fixed on the head wolf, clutching the hilt of the knife and not moving.

Suddenly, his eyes flashed brightly.

"Arc Moon Slash!"

Ye Chen roared.

Swing a knife with all your might.

The sharp blade slashed in a semicircular arc along his front, completely enveloping the area in front of him. The blade shook, and with the vibration, several sword qi faintly visible in the white sun burst out and tore in front of him.

"Poof, poof!"

The head wolf with the big calf rushed the fastest, couldn't stop, the whole head was split open, and the body hit Ye Chen. The other three gray wolves were severely injured and mutilated by the knife qi with their forelimbs severed.

Ye Chen made a move with all his strength, and immediately rolled backwards, dodging the head wolf corpse that hit him.

There were also three gray wolf claws that had already grabbed Ye Chen's body, but they only touched Ye Chen's arms. The head wolf's oversized body squeezed the other gray wolves away.

Ye Chen rolled over, got up, and held the knife outward.

In the blink of an eye, including the head wolf, more than half of the seven gray wolves had been killed or wounded.

The remaining three gray wolves screamed and turned to the jungle instead of pounce on them to attack. More than half of them were killed and wounded, and even the first wolf was killed, and they completely lost the courage to face the powerful enemy in front of them, and fled in panic.

Ye Chen left more than a dozen blood marks on his upper body, the deepest wound was almost an inch, and his own blood and the blood of the gray wolf were almost splashed. But for a martial artist in the late stage of body refining, this is just a minor injury that doesn't matter.

Ye Chen watched vigilantly as the three gray wolves left, and then he felt that the more than ten claw marks on his arms were hot, and he couldn't help but crack his mouth, "It's okay, it's just a flesh wound!"

With a swing of his knife, he cut off the heads of the four gray wolves, strung them together with a strap, and carried them on his back.

He strode towards the North Foot Academy.
