Noon of the second day.
Su Yun kept all the things that the Mu Family had prepared into his storage ring. Then, under Mu Tian Hao's escort, he rode the purple horned beast out of Mu Chong City and headed towards the electric wood forest two hundred miles north of the city.
To ensure the safety of the journey, Mu Tian Hao sent the twenty elite guards that protected Su Yun the night before to accompany him.
Su Yun did not know who Mu Tian Hao was guarding against, but he knew that the Mu Family was much deeper than he had imagined. Quickly retrieving the electric wood and leaving was the best course of action. He did not want to get involved.
As they neared the electric wood forest, everyone felt a surge of electricity rushing towards them. Their hair stood on end and the muddy water started to feel numb. It was strange.
Everyone activated their Profound Spirit Qi and covered their bodies to resist the electricity.
After passing through the grassy plains, it was the gigantic electric wood forest.
Although this electric wood forest was the smallest in the southern continent, it was still bigger than a few Martial Bone Mountain Ranges. If there was no lightning, people might get lost in there.
As they neared the plains, the elite guards stopped in their tracks.
"Young master Su, the electric wood forest is just ahead. We will wait here for your good news. We wish Young master Su a successful mission and a triumphant return!"
The leader of the elite guards cupped his fists and said.
"Triumphant return is for sure. But retrieving the electric wood will require a lot of time. It might take up to a month. If I run out of supplies, please prepare some for me!"
After Su Yun finished, he rode the purple horned beast towards the electric wood forest that was filled with thunder and lightning.
The sky above the Electric Wood Forest was shrouded in dark clouds all year round. Every tree was glowing with blue light, and snake-like electric currents were jumping around their bodies. The whole forest was like a spider web, densely packed and terrifying. From time to time, the dark clouds in the sky would strike down thick red lightning, striking into the forest and exploding into circles of lightning ripples. If a person came into contact with these lightning ripples, if his or her cultivation was too low to withstand it, he or she would be killed in an instant. In the less serious cases, they would be left with a whole corpse, but in the more serious cases … not even their ashes would be left.
When they were just a few meters away from the electric wood forest, the Purple Horned Beast did not dare to move forward anymore. It paced back and forth restlessly. No matter how Su Yun urged it, it did not move forward.
Su Yun got down from the purple horned beast and took out Thousand Deep Sword from the sword sheath. Then, he took out the Death Sword from his storage ring and walked towards the electric wood forest.
After a series of battles, the Death Sword had gradually acknowledged itself, and it was not difficult to pull it out. Of course, it would only be willing to be unsheathed during a battle. If it was in the past, it would be extremely difficult to pull it out. Once the Death Sword was unsheathed, it would definitely see blood.
As he neared the electric wood forest, he heard a rumbling sound. A few bolts of lightning struck towards Su Yun like venomous snakes.
Su Yun anxiously swung his Thousand Deep Sword and attacked.
The Pure Divine Spirit Qi that was augmented by the 'Monarch Occult Force' flew over and struck the lightning bolt, shattering it.
The Monarch Occult Force was truly a divine object. It was extremely practical.
All sorts of Qi could counter each other. Frigid Aqua Qi countered Scarlet Sun Qi, Scarlet Sun countered Life Spirit Qi, Life Spirit Qi countered Swift Wind Spirit Qi, Swift Wind countered True Divine Spirit Qi, True Divine Spirit Qi countered Frigid Aqua Qi. However, the Monarch Occult Force that was augmented with the Five Elemental Qi combined all the advantages of the five attributes. That also meant that no matter what the enemy was using, they would all be countered by the Monarch Occult Force.
Although the Monarch Occult Force was augmented with the five main attributes of Pure Divine Spirit Qi, it had its drawbacks. That was the huge consumption.
Right now, when Su Yun activated his Pure Divine Spirit Qi, the consumption was two to three times that of the past. A powerful sword technique like the Hurricane Sword Technique could only be used three times at most, and the duration of the first form of the Limitless Sword Manual to control the flying sword was much shorter than usual.
He stood in the electric wood forest and stared at the flashing lightning in front of him. From his storage ring, he took out the items that he had prepared previously.
Electricity Insulating Necklace, a Purple Rank Earth Level Treasure. Inside, there was a small electricity insulating array that could be activated with Profound Spirit Qi. After activating it, the small array would expand and the range would increase, forming a barrier around the user to isolate the lightning. This necklace was mostly used to deal with people who were proficient in using lightning mystical techniques. Afterall, lightning type mystical techniques were different from other mystical techniques. Profound Spirit Qi was hard to defend against. Once struck, the user's body would be paralyzed or paralyzed, and he would be in danger.
After the Electricity Insulating Necklace was activated, the electricity in the surroundings was greatly reduced. But it could only defend against some of the weaker electricity currents. It was still difficult to defend against a strong electric current.
Su Yun took out a huge piece of parchment from his storage ring and quickly laid it on the ground.
On the parchment was a Life Restoring Array drawn by the Mu Family. This array was made with the best materials. Once a person enters the array, he would be able to quickly recover his damaged body and replenish his lost blood. It was similar to the healing array that was set up by the various sects on Wu Shuang Jue Peak. But this was slightly inferior. Su Yun only had three of them.
After the array was completed, Su Yun stood by the side of the array and scanned his surroundings.
This was just the outer area of the electric wood forest. The lightning was not ferocious and there were no trees with electric wood. He was unable to obtain electric wood. He could only go deeper into the forest to find those rare items.
But if he wanted to go deeper, with Su Yun's current cultivation, even if he had the Monarch Occult Force and the Everlasting Stone, he would definitely die. Even a Spirit Soul Disciple would find it hard to go deeper.
Furthermore, according to what he heard previously, going deeper was equivalent to courting death.
He calmed his mind and concentrated on observing everything around him.
Suddenly!
Sui La.
A bolt of lightning flew over and chased after the back of his head!
Su Yun tensed up. Twisting his body, he slashed his sword horizontally.
Sou sou sou …
The ferocious Sword Qi surged over and directly destroyed the lightning.
Boom!
Another bolt of lightning struck.
The Death Sword left his hands. Activating the Limitless Sword Manual, the sword spun and circled to his side.
Dang dang dang dang …
Su Yun quickly formed a hand seal and activated his Pure Divine Spirit Qi to control the Death Sword to block the incoming lightning.
After the lightning was blocked, it became more and more ferocious and frequent. Su Yun did not hesitate anymore. He threw out the Thousand Deep Sword and controlled both swords to block.
After about an hour, Su Yun was panting. His gaze was calm as he stared at his surroundings.
"As expected, it's getting more and more frequent. Seems like the rumor is true."
Su Yun took a deep breath and continued to control his swords. His entire body's Qi channels were frantically draining. But as time passed, he started to feel weak. After taking a few lightning strikes, his body was injured.
He anxiously stood in the middle of the array. As he recovered from his injuries, he continued to block.
At this moment, regardless of whether it was the lightning or the two swords, they could not calm down. The two of them clashed non-stop. Large amounts of lightning that were dispersed by the swords spread out in ripples, rendering the entire place extremely beautiful.
Finally.
After 14 hours, his Qi channels were exhausted. Su Yun had no choice but to retreat from the electric wood forest and retreat to the outer area.
"Look, he's out!"
The elite guards of the Mu Family who were guarding outside all ran over.
"Young master, did you manage to obtain the electric wood?" The leader of the elite guards bowed and asked.
"In less than a day's time, how can I obtain the electric wood? How can the electric wood be so easy to obtain? "
Su Yun, who had exhausted his Qi, took out some pills from his bag and said to the elite guards: "The strength of the electric wood forest has exceeded my expectations. My supplies might not be enough. Go back to the Mu Family and get me more pills and Qi arrays. Take as much as you can!"
"Ah?"
The elite guards had a troubled look on their faces.
Su Yun's face turned serious: "Why? Don't you want to save your young master? "
"Of course not … of course not, we'll do it now …"
The elite guards did not dare to delay. Seven of them rode their purple horned beasts towards Mu Chong City.
Su Yun stayed outside to treat his injuries, recover his Qi and recharge his energy.
After an hour, he carried his sword and entered again.
Actually, there was another reason why he came to help the Mu Family obtain the electric wood …
That was to train his swordsmanship.
In Su Yun's memory, in the northern region of Sky Martial Continent, there was a fierce beast called the Swift Ape. The Swift Ape was only the size of a hunting dog but its speed was extremely fast. It was as swift as the wind and it was hard for ordinary people to catch it.
Because of its speed and strength, many cultivators who trained in Swift Wind Spirit Qi used it as an opponent to train their Profound Spirit Qi, reaction speed and accuracy.
Referring to fast things to practice faster moves was a very primitive method of cultivation.
But, no matter how fast the Swift Ape was, could it be faster than lightning?
With the Everlasting Stone and the Limitless Sword Manual as the foundation, why not train in the electric wood forest that was filled with lightning?
With the financial support of the Mu Family, it was much easier to train. A normal person's year's worth of training could be completed within a month.
The stronger he was, the easier it would be for him to obtain the remaining materials.
Looking at Su Yun's figure disappearing into the electric wood forest, the elite guards continued to wait outside.
But.
A day later, Su Yun ran out with his face covered in dirt.
"Young master Su Yun, did you obtain the electric wood?"
The leader ran over to ask.
"Nope."
Su Yun mumbled and continued to sit cross legged. He started to heal his injuries and did not say anything else.
The elite guards were stunned. They were even more suspicious.
It had been two days and he had not obtained a single piece of electric wood. Was he actually retrieving the electric wood? Or could it be that he could not retrieve it at all?
After an hour, Su Yun stood up again and ran in with his sword.
The elite guards saw and continued to wait outside.
This time, it was longer than the previous two times. He lasted for a full day and a half before he came out. But he still exhausted his Profound Spirit Qi and suffered many injuries …
"Young master Su Yun, did you obtain the electric wood?"
"Nope."
Su Yun continued to reply and closed his eyes to heal his injuries.
"This …"
After his injuries were mostly healed, Su Yun stood up and continued to enter with his sword.
The elite guards looked at each other. Finally, all of their gazes landed on the leader of the elite guards.
"Let's wait a while more." The leader took a deep breath.
No one spoke.
This time, Su Yun lasted for a full two days!! Then he ran out.
But now, the injuries on his body were getting lesser and lesser. He was no longer in a sorry state. Looking at his panting, it seemed like he had exhausted his Profound Spirit Qi and had no choice but to come out …
"Master Su Yun …"
"Nope."
Before the captain could finish his sentence, Su Yun had already spoken a word.
The elite guards: "…"
Su Yun did not look at them. He reached into his storage ring and took out some pills. But after half a day, he had finished all the pills.
"Where are the supplies that I asked you to prepare?"
"It's here!" A elite guard walked over and took out the items from his storage ring.
"Not bad. But these are not enough. Continue to get more. I estimate that we need four more!"
Su Yun kept the supplies and continued to swallow the pills to recover.
After he had recovered, he stood up and walked towards the electric wood forest.
"Send someone to report this to the patriarch! We can't go on like this … "
The leader of the Jing Guards sighed and said.
"Yes, leader!"
