The Clear Wind City Lord looked at the thunderclouds in the sky and entered deep thought. He said sullenly, "He is different from us. No wonder he is so confident. This person is a cultivator who comprehended a state. Furthermore, his attainments in states are not low. That ordinary Drawing the Saber earlier is even stronger than a Superior Grade Earth Ranked Martial Technique when infused with his state.
"The density of his saber Qi is also stronger than ours. It is comparable to an Inferior Grade Martial King. It looks like Clear Wind City is saved this time," the Clear Wind City Lord said with an excited smile.
The Black Flame Snake on the ground curled up into a ball, looking like a small mountain. Its cold eyes flickered with a red light as it stared at Xiao Chen.
The Black Flame Snake flicked its red tongue continuously, trying to capture Xiao Chen. It opened its mouth wide and the surrounding fire-attributed Spiritual Energy quickly surged towards it.
A huge black fireball appeared and spun continuously. When the horrifying heat reached its peak, the black fireball surged towards Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and said, "Playing with fire before me? You are far from good enough. Go back!"
A fierce purple flame burned continuously in Xiao Chen's right eye. He did not condense it; he just let it pour out. The purple flame immediately surged like a roaring river.
"Boom!"
The surging purple flame immediately swallowed up the black flame that the Black Flame Snake spat out. The surging flames seemed boundless. In an instant, the Black Flame Snake cried out miserably as it rolled on the ground.
When the Black Flame Snake felt Xiao Chen's horror, it quickly fled into the distance. Its body stuck close to the ground as it moved, crushing many buildings.
"Trying to leave? It is already too late!"
"Wukui Shakes the Heavens!"
Xiao Chen shouted and the ancient divine Wukui Tree appeared from nowhere. It was like a mountain, carrying a surging thunder aura as it pressed down on the Black Flame Snake.
"Rumble …!"
The state of thunder infused with Holy Might surged continuously above Xiao Chen's head. Along with the rumbling thunder, the divine Wukui Tree grew larger at a visible rate.
It pressed down on the Black Flame Snake's body. The huge force caused the ground to tremble.
After a while, the divine tree turned into a horrifying electric light and merged into the Black Flame Snake's body. With a thought from Xiao Chen, the Black Flame Snake exploded.
The Black Flame Snake, which was already riddled with wounds from the Purple Thunder True Fire, was blasted into smithereens by this electric light. It left behind a rain of blood that fell from the sky.
Xiao Chen pulled the Black Flame Snake's Spirit Core over and tossed it into his Universe Ring. Then, he quickly walked over to the Clear Wind City's City Lord.
Xiao Chen took out the mission contract and said indifferently, "Mission completed. Will you please leave your handprint and the City Lord's official seal? It would be best if you left your handwriting on it."
When the Clear Wind City's City Lord saw the Black Flame Snake, which had plagued Clear Wind City for several months, being easily killed by Xiao Chen, he still could not believe it. He only recovered his wits when Xiao Chen repeated himself.
"Xiao Chen" Xiao Dragon "Dragon City Lord". "Lord" Chen "Dragon" Lord. "Xiao Moon. Forgive me for being direct, but isn't Qingyun Peak in decline? "
Xiao Chen smiled and said, "Qingyun Peak's Ye Chen is the real deal. There is no need for me to lie to you. Qingyun Peak has not declined either. At least, his Martial Technique inheritance is still here. Furthermore, there is a Peak Master with limitless potential. "
After the Black Flame Snake died, the City Lord was in a good mood. He smiled and said, "Truly a young hero. This is unbelievable. I will leave my handprint now."
After the Clear Wind City Lord left his handprint, he took out the City Lord's official seal and stamped it in red. Finally, he added his personal signature. Xiao Chen's mission was complete.
Satisfied, Xiao Chen received the mission contract. He revealed a faint smile; he had obtained a thousand contribution points.
This mission was too simple; it could not temper his Saber Techniques at all. However, it was good to expand Qingyun Peak's reputation.
As the City Lord watched Xiao Chen leave, the assistant beside the City Lord suddenly said, "My Lord, I remember something. Recently, there was a rumor in the Xihe Province that a youth from the Heavenly Saber Pavilion killed an expert of the older generation, Yue Mingshan. It seems like it might be him."
The City Lord muttered, "There is an eighty percent chance that it is him. Although the Black Flame Snake was a weak peak Rank 6 Spirit Beast, it was still a peak Superior Grade Martial Saint. It would take a lot of effort to kill it. Furthermore, it would be hard to escape unscathed."
"This youth easily killed the Black Flame Snake in just a few moves. Clearly, the two are not on the same level. There would not be more than ten such geniuses in the Great Qin Nation. Qingyun Peak's reputation is going to soar. "
The Flowing Cloud Mountain Range was the second largest mountain range in the Xihe Province, second only to the Lingyun Mountain Range. The Spiritual Energy there was much less dense than the Lingyun Mountain Range. However, the Spirit Herbs and all sorts of rare plants in the mountain range were no less than the Lingyun Mountain Range. It was a famous herb mountain.
The most important thing was that although there were many sects of various sizes around this mountain range, there was not a single strong sect. Hence, it was ownerless.
There were many more cultivators coming and going here than in the Lingyun Mountain Range. Most of them were hired by the big powers to protect the herb gatherers, preventing them from being injured by the ferocious Spirit Beasts in the mountains.
On a lone peak in the core of the Flowing Cloud Mountain Range, a white-clothed girl carrying a medicinal basket was nimbly climbing up a dangerous cliff.
Beside the white-clothed girl was a young bladesman in blue robes. He slowly floated beside her, protecting her. If that bladesman was not Xiao Chen, who else could it be?
Xiao Chen looked at the white-clothed girl climbing up bitterly. He shook his head and said indifferently, "Miss Sun, why go through so much trouble? Just tell me what the herb you are looking for looks like, and I'll help you pick it."
This girl was the daughter of the Manor Lord of a manor famous for Alchemy near the Flowing Cloud Mountain Range. Her name was Sun Qian. She was also the one who issued the mission for Xiao Chen.
If he helped the other party pick a Spirit Herb, he would receive a thousand contribution points. Xiao Chen did not want to waste any time. Hence, he wanted to quickly complete the mission.
Sweat covered Sun Qian's exquisite face. When she heard Xiao Chen's words, she wiped away her sweat and smiled. "Young Master Ye, it is not that I insist on doing this. It is just that this Spirit Herb is very troublesome to pick. You have to pull out all the roots. Furthermore, it cannot be damaged at all.
"Otherwise, if the Spiritual Energy leaks out, the Spirit Herb will wither very quickly. The medicinal effects will be completely gone. An inexperienced herb gatherer would not know the exact method."
Xiao Chen smiled faintly. Since Sun Qian said that, he could only let her be. He extended out his Spiritual Sense and started to investigate the surroundings.
Xiao Chen knew how to refine Alchemy as well. He knew that Sun Qian was exaggerating. As long as there was some damage, the medicinal effects of any Spirit Herb would not diminish so quickly.
However, Xiao Chen could not be bothered. Sun Qian's request was not exaggerated. When the time came, he would just have to adapt to the situation.
The cliff that the two of them were on was very famous in the entire Flowing Cloud Mountain Range. It had an interesting name, "Go Crazy First", also known as Immortal Herb Peak.
The Immortal Herb Peak was the core of the Flowing Cloud Mountain Range. It was where the Spiritual Energy of the entire mountain range gathered. The peak was filled with Peak Grade Spirit Herbs that could be picked at any time.
At the foot of the mountain were Spirit Herbs that were about fifty years old. At the waist of the mountain, they were all Spirit Herbs that were more than a hundred years old.
If one could climb to the peak, they might even be able to find Spirit Herbs that were more than a thousand years old. It could be said to be a true Immortal Herb Peak.
The reason why it had another name, "Go Crazy First", was passed down by herb gatherers. Only a crazy person would risk their life to climb this peak.
This was because it was simply too dangerous. There were all sorts of ferocious flying Spirit Beasts in the surroundings. These Spirit Beasts consumed Peak Grade Spirit Herbs all year round. Their cultivations were much stronger than regular Spirit Beasts.
Furthermore, this was because it was high up in the sky. Even a peak Superior Grade Martial Saint who had not learned a flying Martial Technique would not dare to climb to the waist of the mountain. At most, they would pick some Spirit Herbs at the foot of the mountain and leave immediately.
As for the peak above four thousand meters, there was once a Superior Grade Martial King who relied on his strength to fly up. In the end, he did not even last half a minute before he was brutally killed by the guardian Spirit Beast of the Holy Herb.
Xiao Chen was very clear on his own strength. This mission only required him to climb to the waist of the mountain. The height of a hundred meters was still within his acceptable range.
If he went any higher, he would have to give up on this mission. Without the cultivation of a Martial King, he would simply be seeking death. At this moment, he had only climbed less than five hundred meters, and he had already run into several ferocious Rank 6 Spirit Beasts.
Xiao Chen's Spiritual Sense detected a few black dots flying over from the northwest. He took out the Soul Slayer Bow from the Universe Ring and said indifferently, "Miss Sun, be careful. There are more Spirit Beasts flying over."
When Sun Qian heard this, her expression changed slightly. She quickly stopped climbing and slowly moved towards a protruding rock that she could use as leverage.
The black dots in the distance got closer. They were four Medial Grade Rank 6 Spirit Beasts, Flaming Cloud Vultures. They were three meters long and had a wingspan of twenty meters.
The feathers on their bodies were as bright as fire. They looked like a burning flame in the air. There were nine vertical feathers on their tails. They were like sharp swords, straight and tough. There was a strand of flame at the tip of each feather.
Although these flying Spirit Beasts were only Medial Grade Rank 6, they were more difficult to deal with than a regular peak Rank 6 Spirit Beast. If one was not careful, they would suffer greatly.
"Xiu!"
Xiao Chen drew back the bowstring and nocked an Essence Light Arrow. His Spiritual Sense locked onto a Flaming Cloud Vulture and he immediately released. The arrow moved like a meteor, tearing through the air and creating a piercing sound.
With a 'sou' sound, the arrow pierced through a Flaming Cloud Vulture, creating a huge bloody hole. The Flaming Cloud Vulture cried out miserably and fell to the ground.
"Chi!
Chi! "Xiao Chen's hands did not stop moving as he fired another arrow. The stronger the Soul Slayer Bow, the stronger it would be. Every few months when Xiao Chen used it, its might would increase significantly.
The other Flaming Cloud Vulture that Xiao Chen aimed at turned in the air. However, it still could not escape its fate of death. With a 'bang', a bloody hole appeared in its body.
"Miss Sun, be careful. I'll be back soon."
The remaining two Flaming Cloud Vultures were already less than five hundred meters away from Xiao Chen. If they were too close, the Soul Slayer Bow would not be as effective. Xiao Chen swapped out his Lunar Shadow Saber and rushed out to lure the Flaming Cloud Vultures away.
Sun Qian said worriedly, "Young Hero Ye, be careful."
"Sou!"
A Flaming Cloud Vulture quickly flew over Xiao Chen's head. Its two sharp claws, which could easily tear through rocks, clawed at Xiao Chen's head.
