The young man hurriedly stepped back. As for the two guards who had their chests pierced through, they were already dead, connected by the toad's broken tongue.
"Zhengxuan, are you alright?!"
Not far away, the middle-aged man coughed out a mouthful of blood and rushed over.
The young man shook his head, then looked up at the valley and said, "He saved me."
The pretty girl's eyes shone brightly. The young man was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and he still looked a bit immature. However, the power of that sword move was indeed terrifying. He had easily cut off the toad's tongue, giving people a feeling that he had done it so easily.
"Thank you, young hero, for saving my life." The middle-aged man was also shocked by Ye Chen's power, but he was still calm. He clearly knew that the outside world was a vast world, and that some of the most talented geniuses could be as powerful or even more powerful than the older generation. For example, Wei Dongshe, the head disciple of the Green Bamboo Martial School, a rank seven institution in the Thousand Thread Nation, could be counted as a great genius.
Ye Chen's robe fluttered in the air. Within a blink of an eye, he appeared in front of the crowd and said blandly, "It's nothing. Don't mention it."
The pretty girl still said gratefully, "If it weren't for you, we would all have died here. Be careful!"
Before she finished her words, the pretty girl's expression changed. In her line of sight, the toad's eyes had turned blood-red, and it spurted out a cloud of five-colored beast Qi towards Ye Chen. The beast Qi swept across the entire area, withered all the plants in its path, and left a deep ditch on the ground.
Ye Chen's senses were extremely sharp, and he was able to sense every single move of the toad. He tilted his body and swung the Dragon Spring Sword, releasing a light blue stream of sword Qi.
Puff!
The sword Qi cut open the five-colored beast Qi, and fiercely hacked on the toad's head.
Gugugugugu …
The toad let out muffled screeches, and its house-sized body was sent flying backwards, creating a few large cracks on the valley wall, causing rocks to tumble down.
"Mountain Condensing Sword Qi!"
This toad was much weaker than the black crown serpent, but it had a great defensive power. A normal sword attack wouldn't be able to kill it. Ye Chen didn't want to waste any more time, so he launched a small attack.
Puff … puff … puff …
The thick sword Qi contained a great deal of power. It easily cut through the Rainbow Toad's ugly skin and pierced through, leaving a deep mark on the wall behind it.
After suffering such a heavy blow, the five-colored toad's body twitched violently. Then, its body went limp and it stopped breathing.
Clang!
Putting the sword back into its scabbard, Ye Chen reached out his hand and waved. The inner pellet of the five-colored toad broke out of its chest and was sucked over.
"Amazing! The toad is dead!"
"The Five Coloured Toad is equal to a Mid Clasping Yuan Realm martial artist. Martial artists at the same level as them would have to stay away from it."
"This person is even younger than my nephew. I didn't expect him to be able to kill the Five Colored Toad with a single strike."
The surviving guards were all Mid or Late Condensing Reality Realm warriors. They had always heard about how powerful some of the geniuses were, but they had never seen them in person. Today, they were all shocked.
"Ye" was, and said, "Zhen", and "I", "Ye" Zhen "Zhen" Li. "I" Zhen "." I "
Ye Chen shook his head, "I'm leaving soon, no need to tell me my name."
He had saved the toad without much effort, so he didn't need to waste too much of his time. Since he could easily save the toad, why not?
Putting away the toad's core, Ye Chen turned around and said, "Everyone, be careful, I won't bother you anymore."
Then, he was about to leave.
Cough! Cough!
All of a sudden, the middle-aged man spat out a mouthful of blood, which smelled horrible. His face turned colorful.
Ye Chen frowned, "You've been poisoned."
The middle-aged man activated his Zhen Qi and tried to suppress the poison. He forced a smile and said, "The toad's poisonous beast Qi is way too powerful. It poisoned me through my protective Zhen Qi."
"Don't move, let me try to detoxify you."
Ye Chen flashed behind the middle-aged man, put his hands on the man's back, and poured his pure Mysterious Zhen Qi into the man's body through the meridians in his arms.
After a while.
Ye Chen took back his hands, let out a breath of turbid air and said, "The toad's poison is way too powerful. Zhen Qi alone won't be able to detoxify it. We have to make some detoxifying pellets. Luckily, he is not poisoned too much, so he won't be in danger for now."
The pretty woman thought of something, "Normally, when someone is poisoned by a highly poisonous beast, the detoxifying pellet must be made from the beast. This toad …"
The pretty woman looked at Ye Chen. The toad was killed by him, so he had the right to deal with it. She couldn't make a decision on her own.
"You guys do whatever you want!" He didn't plan on taking the materials from the toad.
After dissecting the materials from the toad, the group was ready to leave.
Ye Chen saw that they were either injured or poisoned, and they didn't have much fighting power. They probably wouldn't be able to walk out of this dangerous Five Poison Mountain. He said helplessly, "Let me send you out."
The pretty woman was grateful. She had a good impression of Ye Chen.
On the way, Ye Chen learned about their names and situations. The pretty woman's name was Lin Qingmei. She was the daughter of the Lin family in Black Rock City, which was near the Five Poison Mountain. The poisoned middle-aged man was called Lu Zhengde. He was Lu Zhengxuan's father and was also an elder of the Lin family. They entered the Five Poison Mountain to collect a rare spiritual plant – Zen Fragrance Grass. However, the Zen Fragrance Grass was guarded by the toad, so they were almost wiped out.
After leaving the Five Poison Mountain, they walked for hundreds of miles towards the east. A city built with black rocks appeared in front of Ye Chen.
"It's about the same size as the Qingfeng City. It shouldn't be very powerful." Normally, the martial schools had their own mountains and were very powerful. The big families lived in bigger and more prosperous cities. For example, the Luo City where the Ye family lived was only second to the Forgotten City and the Gale City. The Black Rock City couldn't be compared to it.
After entering the city, Ye Chen saw that the guards had strange expressions on their faces, but he didn't pay much attention to it.
The Lin family was located in the southern area of the Black Rock City. Judging from the size and layout of the city, they could barely be counted as a medium sized family. There was a huge gap between them and the big families.
"Miss, you're back!"
"The leader of the family asked us to go see him as soon as we saw you. Eh? Master Lu was poisoned?"
The housekeeper, who was standing in front of the gate, saw Lin Qingmei and the others. His eyes brightened and he hurried over to greet them. However, when he saw Lu Zhengde's condition, he couldn't help but yell out.
Lin Qingmei forced a smile and said, "Alright, I'll be right there."
…
Inside a room in the small courtyard.
Ye Chen sat on the bed with his legs crossed, holding a low-rank soul stone in each of his hands. He had his eyes closed and was training.
The Mysterious Great Art had eleven levels in total, and each level was more difficult than the previous one. Before reaching the eleventh level, he had to try his best to step into the higher levels as soon as possible and increase his fighting power. Otherwise, if he encountered a Late Clasping Yuan Realm warrior, he would not have enough power.
After an unknown period of time.
Crack!
The low-rank soul stone in his hand shattered. Ye Chen opened his eyes.
"I'm now at the peak of the sixth level. I guess I'll be able to reach the seventh level in a couple of days." Throwing away the broken low-rank soul stone, Ye Chen walked out of the bed.
Boom!
Right at this moment, the entire Lin family slightly shook, as if a small earthquake had happened.
"Someone is fighting?"
Without much hesitation, Ye Chen opened the door and rushed towards the source of the tremor.
On the welcoming plaza of the Lin family, two groups of people were facing each other. The group of people in the welcoming hall were the powerful warriors of the Lin family, while on the other side were a group of people in yellow robes, led by a chubby middle-aged man and an elderly man in black robes.
On the Lin family's side, a man was lying on the ground while puking blood. He had obviously been wounded by someone, and the wound was quite serious.
"Hehe, Lin Tiemu, it seems like you haven't learned your lesson yet. If you don't hand over the forging method of our Huang family's Cold Iron Sword, I'll injure one of your Lin family's powerful warriors every day. Let's see how long you can last." The chubby middle-aged man said in a creepy tone while caressing the emerald ring on his finger.
The Master of the Lin family's face was pale and bloodless, as if he had been seriously wounded. He ordered someone to help the injured Lin family's powerful warrior up, then said in a cold voice, "The forging method of the Cold Iron Sword was passed down by the Lin family's ancestors. It has nothing to do with your Huang family. How can you claim that it was lost by your Huang family?"
The chubby middle-aged man said, "My Huang family established itself in the Black Rock City much earlier than your Lin family. You're just an outsider. How can you have the forging method of the Cold Iron Sword? Elder Lu, please teach him a lesson, so that he won't forget the pain of the past."
The old man in black robes smiled evilly, "Master of the Lin family, you were hit by my Black Killing Palm half a month ago. How are you feeling now? Your meridians must be in great pain every day!"
"Don't you dare!" Lin Qingmei couldn't help but walk out from the crowd.
"Oh right, I forgot to tell you one thing. I'm interested in your daughter. Master of the Lin family, what do you think?" A lustful look flashed across the old man's eyes. He reached out his hand, and a tremendous amount of Zhen Qi emerged from his palm, preparing to suck Lin Qingmei over.
Chi!
A sword Qi shot out, cutting off the old man's Zhen Qi.
"Who are you?!" The old man in black robes had a gloomy look on his face.
Ye Chen walked to the plaza and said, "You're disturbing me."
The chubby middle-aged man thought that it was a powerful martial artist. But when he saw a teenager, who looked no older than sixteen or seventeen, walk out, he laughed and said, "Lin Tiemu, don't tell me that this is a powerful martial artist invited by your Lin family. Do you really think that he can stop Elder Lu?"
The old man in black robes said coldly, "Little brat, if you dare to stop me, you will die today."
When Lin Qingmei saw Ye Chen, a joyful look flashed across her face. But soon after, a worried look appeared on her face. She said in a low voice, "Why did you come out?"
Ye Chen asked, "Who are they?"
Lin Qingmei said, "That hateful fatty is the master of the Huang family in the Black Rock City. He has been coveting the forging method of the Cold Iron Sword of our Lin family. He didn't dare to touch our Lin family in the past. But recently, he invited this powerful martial artist called Elder Lu, who injured my father. I came to the Five Poisons Mountain Range to collect some Zen Herbs to treat my father's injury."
Oh!
Ye Chen nodded and didn't say another word.
Lin Tiemu, the master of the Lin family, asked, "Qingmei, is this little brother the one who brought you out of the Five Poisons Mountain Range?"
"Yes, father."
"Since he saved our lives, why don't you take him to rest?" Lin Tiemu could tell that Ye Chen was an Early Clasping Yuan Realm martial artist, so he didn't want to get him involved in this.
Lin Qingmei had a complicated look on her face. Ye Chen's power was obvious, he was as powerful as a Mid Clasping Yuan Realm martial artist. However, that Elder Lu was even more powerful, he had already reached the peak of the Mid Clasping Yuan Realm. Even her father had been injured by him. Deep down in her heart, she really hoped that Ye Chen could help them. However, this hope was too slim. After all, she had experienced how powerful Elder Lu was. Ye Chen couldn't possibly be a match for him.
"You want to leave? Not so easy! Die!"
The old man in black robes had a hideous look on his face as he threw a palm attack towards Ye Chen. A huge black palm swooshed across the air, letting out a shrill, heart-wrenching sound.
Clang!
Ye Chen unsheathed the Dragon Spring Sword and waved it casually.
