"I remember that there was once a person in the Dongming Province who defeated many geniuses of the Dongming Province. He even spent a large sum of money to challenge the noble clans. With such boldness, he must be an extraordinary genius."
"That's right. Now, the noble clans have doubled the bounty for this person. Together, the bounty is ten thousand Medial Grade Spirit Stones. However, this person seems to have vanished without a trace, never appearing again."
When the people on the deck saw Xiao Chen beat up Yue Mingshan, they all sighed. This battle was full of twists and turns. It was very thrilling and exciting. It was very satisfying to watch.
Xiao Chen was always able to surprise everyone. When everyone thought that he was in a hopeless situation, he would turn the situation around and defeat his opponent.
The dark clouds above the water scattered and the sunlight shone down once again. Xiao Chen stood on the water and his Spiritual Sense pierced through the water like an arrow, searching for Yue Mingshan's figure.
There were strange fish in the river. With Yue Mingshan's current condition, he might not be able to block these man-eating fish. Xiao Chen did not want Yue Mingshan to die just like that.
The reason why Xiao Chen did not nock an arrow earlier was because he was afraid of shooting Yue Mingshan to death. After that, he would not be able to get anything out of him.
At the bottom of the dark water, Yue Mingshan dragged his injured body and swam quickly in the water. Strange ripples shot out in all directions, repelling the strange fish that attacked him.
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and said, "I forgot, this person is a water-attributed cultivator. His ability to survive in the river is much stronger than a regular cultivator's."
Xiao Chen was not surprised at Yue Mingshan's strong desire to survive. This kind of person would think carefully before doing anything.
To put it nicely, he was cautious. To put it bluntly, he was greedy for life and afraid of death. He did not have boldness.
However, he did not know that the path of a cultivator was filled with danger. It was a fight with one's life in the first place. If one did not have great courage and the sharpness in one's heart did not fade, how could one overcome difficulties after difficulties?
If one always thought about how to use tricks to overcome difficulties, once the sharpness faded, one would never be able to go far on the path of a cultivator.
"Come out!"
Xiao Chen collected his thoughts and gently pushed off the surface of the river. He appeared above Yue Mingshan and punched the surface of the water.
Bang!
Immediately, a huge pillar of water surged out from the Black Dragon River. At the end of the pillar of water was Yue Mingshan's figure. He was knocked into the air and was frantically trying to move his body.
Xiao Chen leaped into the air and grabbed him by the collar, landing firmly on the ground.
Yue Mingshan revealed a horrified expression on his pale face. He said, "Don't kill me, I have fifty thousand Inferior Grade Spirit Stones in my hands and a thousand Medial Grade Spirit Stones. Let me go, they are all yours."
Xiao Chen ignored him and said coldly, "Speak, who sent you to kill me?"
Yue Mingshan first shook his head. Then, he felt Xiao Chen's killing intent. He immediately said, "I'll speak! I'll speak! It's Song Que, Biyun Peak's Song Que. He promised me two thousand Medial Grade Spirit Stones to kill you."
Song Que? A trace of killing intent flashed in Xiao Chen's eyes. This was not unexpected. Xiao Chen really did not dare to let his guard down even for a moment.
It was a pity that he couldn't do anything to Song Que right now. He wasn't a match for Song Que, and he couldn't find an opportunity to do so. In the future, when his strength increased, the first thing he had to do was to get rid of Song Que.
"Boom!"
Xiao Chen removed the Spatial Ring from Yue Mingshan's hand and smashed his chest with his palm. Yue Mingshan's heart meridians shattered, and blood flowed out of all his orifices. He said in dissatisfaction, "Didn't you say you would not kill me?"
Xiao Chen was expressionless as he said sullenly, "Sorry, I never said that. I am a person who does not leave behind future trouble for myself."
Seeing Yue Mingshan's corpse slowly fall into the water, Xiao Chen glanced at the merchant ship not far away. After thinking for a while, he decided to cross the Black Dragon River.
He did not want to take that merchant ship anymore. The main reason was that he was afraid of unnecessary socializing and wasting time. Xiao Chen's figure flashed in the air as he used the Gravity Spell and flew up.
Three days later, at night, on the Devil Savanna, Xiao Chen sat beside a bonfire and ate some roasted Lightning Beef.
The meat of Spirit Beasts was even more fragrant and delicious than the meat of Earth. There was no need for any seasoning, and it was already very delicious, leaving one with a lingering aftertaste.
Furthermore, the meat of Spirit Beasts contained some natural Spiritual Energy. Eating it over a long period of time could strengthen the body and replenish Qi.
If one ate the meat of a higher ranked Spirit Beast, such as a Rank 8 or legendary Rank 9 Spirit Beast, it could even raise one's cultivation realm.
A heavy fragrance wafted through the Devil Savanna, attracting a large number of Spirit Beasts. However, when these Spirit Beasts saw Xiao Chen, they did not dare to make a move. They only looked from afar before scattering.
Xiao Chen scanned the area with his Spiritual Sense and saw all this. He revealed a faint smile.
Two days ago, Xiao Chen used the Gravity Spell to fly to the Devil Savanna. After that, he started to practice his saber on the bandits and Spirit Beasts that he encountered. After accumulating experience in actual combat, Xiao Chen became more familiar with the first six moves of the Wukui Saber Technique.
Furthermore, the newly created Rushing Thunder Triple Chain Chop also became easier to use. Xiao Chen already had good control over the period of storing energy; he could release and withdraw it as he pleased.
The longer he could store his energy, the stronger it would be. The shorter the time, the weaker it would be. He needed to use it flexibly.
The might of the Rushing Thunder Roars was much stronger than Xiao Chen had imagined. Previously, when he had stored energy for a minute, he had been able to destroy it with ten thousand horses galloping.
What Xiao Chen needed to do now was to raise his energy in the shortest time possible. That way, this move would become Xiao Chen's new killing move, an important trump card.
"Hu chi!"
A snow-white figure appeared in Xiao Chen's vision in the dark night. When he looked carefully, he discovered that it was Bai. He was holding some Spirit Herbs in his hands as he rushed over.
Just like before, when Xiao Chen and Bai were alone, Bai would help him search for rare Spirit Herbs. Most of these spirit grasses were refined into higher-grade Blood Replenishing Pills and Qi Returning Pills.
This allowed Xiao Chen to have Medicinal Pills to use without spending money on Spirit Herbs. This was a great help to him.
Bai presented the Spirit Herbs in his hands like he was presenting a treasure. Xiao Chen smiled faintly and counted them carefully, "Rank 4 Blood Sun Flower, Rank 5 Hundred Jade Spirit, Rank 4 Gentleman Wind Flower. Hey, this looks like a Tendon Refining Flower."
Xiao Chen noticed a white flower. That flower was very simple; it did not have any bright colors or a strong fragrance. It was very simple.
Xiao Chen held it in his hands and looked at it carefully. He finally confirmed that this was the Tendon Refining Flower. It could increase the toughness of a cultivator's meridians and repair damaged meridians. It was very precious.
There were many Spirit Herbs that could repair meridians. However, none of them were as good as the Tendon Refining Flower. The Tendon Refining Flower could even repair a cultivator's meridians. This was why it was so precious.
Essence had to pass through the meridians before it could circulate freely. If the meridians were damaged, the cultivator would not be able to circulate Essence.
If Xiao Chen could increase the toughness of the meridians to a considerable level, then he would not have to worry about forcefully using too much Essence when he was cultivating or fighting in the future, causing his meridians to be damaged.
Although Bai did not know the importance of the Tendon Refining Flower, when he saw Xiao Chen's happy expression, his face revealed a joyful expression.
Xiao Chen put away the Tendon Refining Flower. Suddenly, a doubt appeared in his mind. For a rare herb like the Tendon Refining Flower, there would definitely be a strong Spirit Beast guarding it.
Although Bai was strong and very fast, he should not have been able to obtain the Tendon Refining Flower so easily.
Could there be something that I don't know? Xiao Chen squatted down and asked, "Bai, tell me the truth. How did you obtain this Tendon Refining Flower?"
When Bai heard Xiao Chen's question, he immediately lowered his head. He was like a child who had done something wrong. He did not dare to look into Xiao Chen's eyes.
Could it be that he snatched it from someone else? Xiao Chen felt ashamed in his heart. If he snatched a Spirit Beast, Bai would not lower his head. He did not know who he snatched it from.
"Dong! Dong!
Dong! "Just as Xiao Chen was thinking about whether or not he should return the Tendon Refining Flower to someone else, the sound of hurried horse hooves could be heard. There should be a lot of people because the ground was trembling slightly.
A group of more than two hundred bandits appeared in front of Xiao Chen. One of them pointed at Bai and said excitedly, "First Leader, I did not lie to you, right? The Tendon Refining Flower did not belong to me. It was snatched away by a little fox. Look, I was not wrong. There was indeed a little fox."
"Pa!"
The leader of the bandits was dressed in snow-white battle robes. He looked very dazzling in the dark night. He slapped the person who spoke and scolded him angrily, "Fool! Why are you so excited after a Spirit Beast snatched something away?"
The other bandits all laughed loudly. Indeed, they were the most terrifying group of bandits in the Devil Savanna. They had always been robbing others and killing Spirit Beasts. Since when did they get snatched away by a Spirit Beast? This was a disgrace to bandits.
The bandit on the ground felt a burning pain on his face. When he heard the laughter of the crowd, his face turned even hotter. He wished he could find a hole to hide in.
Suddenly, he looked at Bai and revealed a ferocious glint in his eyes. He pounced forward and scolded, "I don't believe I cannot deal with you. Watch how I teach you a lesson."
Before Xiao Chen could make a move, Bai turned around and swung his arm to the right. There was a strong wind, and the bandit that pounced over was immediately blown away.
Even Liu Suifeng, an Inferior Grade Martial Saint, was toyed around by Bai. How could a Martial Grand Master bandit be a match for Bai?
That bandit landed headfirst on the ground and rolled a few times. When he got up, he could not even tell his bearings.
He walked towards the First Leader of the bandits in a daze and scolded, "Little bastard! Don't think that just because you are on a horse, I will not recognize you."
After he said that, he charged over again. The First Leader was furious. He sent out a palm wind and knocked this person away. He said with a sullen face, "Just trash, I don't care about you!"
When Bai felt the killing intent from the First Leader, he felt some danger. He immediately jumped onto Xiao Chen's shoulder and felt safer. He made a face at the bandits.
"What the hell? Even foxes know how to make faces these days." When the crowd saw Bai's face, they were all astonished.
Since it belongs to the bandits, I will just snatch it, Xiao Chen thought to himself.
Xiao Chen swept his gaze across this group of bandits. Of the two hundred people, the weakest was a Medial Grade Martial Grand Master. The core of the group was twenty Martial Saints.
The First Leader, who was wearing white battle robes, had the most horrifying cultivation. He was a Superior Grade Martial Saint. He should be weaker than Xiao Chen when he first left the mountain.
As for now, he was no longer on the same level as Xiao Chen.
