(Drunk is so tiring)
Dragon Horn Peak was one thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight meters tall, and the Seven Lights Martial Arts Academy was located three to four hundred meters away. There was still a long way to go up.
The mountain path was rugged and very difficult for ordinary people, but for Chen Zong, the difficulty was still acceptable.
He applied some of the subtleties of Wind Stepping Steps to his normal steps, and his body was light. When he encountered a high place, he would leap up as if he was walking on flat ground.
The mountain breeze blew, and it was cool. The sky was high and the ground was wide, and the pride in his heart was surging.
There were a few rather famous places on Dragon Horn Peak, such as Sea Viewing Cliff, which did not look at the sea, but the sea of clouds; Moon Gazing Rock, which was an enormous rock. It was said that standing on top of it and looking at the moon would reveal a kind of beauty that could not be discovered normally; Coiling Dragon Peak, which was the highest point of Dragon Horn Peak.
The Scorpion-tailed Wolves' settlement was not far away from Sea Viewing Cliff. When Chen Zong arrived at Sea Viewing Cliff, he paused for a moment. On one side of the cliff was a verdant mountain wall. There was a depression in the mountain wall that looked like a small hole dug out by someone. It was about two meters tall, one meter wide, and two meters deep. If there was a storm, it could be used as a temporary resting place. On the other side was a cliff. Below the cliff was a boundless sea of clouds. Looking at it made one feel relaxed and happy.
Chen Zong could not help but let out a long howl. The howl was like a melodious sword cry. He drew his sword and danced.
Sword light flashed and sword shadows crisscrossed. After practicing one sword technique after another, he felt that his heart was clear and his mind was clearer.
"It is indeed a good place to practice the sword." Chen Zong thought to himself, "Maybe I can come here to practice the sword in the future."
He turned around and left Sea Viewing Cliff, heading towards the Scorpion-tailed Wolves' settlement.
The tyrannical aura belonging to demon beasts was faintly discernible. As Chen Zong moved forward, it became clear and strong. It was very messy, and waves of beast roars could be heard.
"I've arrived at the Scorpion-tailed Wolves' settlement." Chen Zong thought to himself, and his footsteps became even lighter.
Looking through the dense trees, there seemed to be a small valley in front of them. Broken stones were scattered everywhere, and there were caves built. There was a creature that was about a meter tall, covered in black fur, and had a scorpion tail on its buttocks. It was even longer than its body, and it looked like a scorpion tail had been replaced with a black wolf's body.
The Scorpion-tailed Wolf was an upper-grade Class 1 demonic beast. It had the ferocity and cunning of a wolf, and its tail was venomous. Once stung, even a Qi and Blood Realm Level 9 martial artist would feel numb and swell all over and become sluggish, eventually becoming food for the Scorpion-tailed Wolf.
"One, two, three …" Chen Zong glanced around. There were 26 Scorpion-tailed Wolves outside the cave, and they were scattered all over the place. Chen Zong had a clear view of the surrounding terrain so that it would be easier for him to take action next.
His strength was not bad, but he could not fall into the encirclement of the Scorpion-tailed Wolves. Otherwise, it would be dangerous.
He could imagine that Bai Yushan's punishment was not good. One day, he would definitely be punished. However, for now, he had to think about how to kill ten Scorpion-tailed Wolves and obtain their scorpion tails.
Looking at the surrounding terrain, Chen Zong recalled the terrain at Ocean Viewing Cliff, and made up his mind.
He picked up a rock and aimed it at the Scorpion-tailed Wolf closest to him. He threw the rock with all his might, and it shot out like an arrow from a bow, directly hitting the Scorpion-tailed Wolf's head. The Scorpion-tailed Wolf howled in anger, and it immediately looked in Chen Zong's direction and dashed toward him.
"Die!" Chen Zong did not dodge. He drew his sword, and the sword light flashed like lightning, directly piercing through the throat of the Scorpion-tailed Wolf that leaped toward him. He then swung his sword and chopped off the scorpion tail. He hung the scabbard on his belt with his left hand and grabbed the scorpion tail. He immediately retreated, because the other Scorpion-tailed Wolves were roaring and dashing toward him. The large group of ferocious wolves made his scalp tingle.
He quickly retreated, and with the help of the terrain, his footsteps were like the wind, and his body was light, maintaining the distance between him and the Scorpion-tailed Wolves.
However, the Scorpion-tailed Wolves were more familiar with the terrain here, and they easily approached Chen Zong. Suddenly, a Scorpion-tailed Wolf leaped from a rock to the side and pounced toward Chen Zong. Its sharp claws, cold fangs, and the barbs on its scorpion tail shone with a cold light. In an instant, it attacked three times, and a fishy smell assaulted Chen Zong's face. Once he smelled it, he felt a little uncomfortable.
He held his breath and swung his sword.
The sword light was extremely dazzling, and the momentum was astonishing. The Scorpion-tailed Wolf's eyes turned white, and it could not see anything. Its ears felt as if they were pierced, and it was very uncomfortable.
In the next moment, an astonishingly sharp sword light pierced through the wolf's throat and was pulled out. His body moved and chopped off the scorpion tail, and his left hand grabbed it again, as smooth as flowing water.
Retreat, retreat, retreat!
Chen Zong started a chase with the Scorpion-tailed Wolves.
Although it was a little different from the previous plan, Chen Zong still retreated to the Sea-viewing Cliff safely. He put the three scorpion tails in his hands aside and leaned against a dent in the mountain wall of the Sea-viewing Cliff. In this way, he would not be attacked by the Scorpion-tailed Wolves from all directions, and he only needed to face them head-on.
More than a dozen Scorpion-tailed Wolves surrounded him in a fan shape, with their front claws creeping like a strong bow. They bared their teeth, and turbid saliva dripped from their mouths. Their green eyes were fierce and ruthless.
Chen Zong's face was cold, and his eyes were bright and deep. He glanced at the dozen Scorpion-tailed Wolves and captured their every move clearly.
Suddenly, more than a dozen Scorpion-tailed Wolves rushed forward and pounced. They even knew how to cooperate and attacked in three waves.
Flash Thunder Sword Technique!
The sword light swept across the sky like lightning and thunder. His left hand slapped out, and there seemed to be a dragon's roar echoing around.
The Perfection Realm of Lesser Dragon-subduing Hand!
The Perfection Realm of Lesser Dragon-subduing Hand with a strength of two thousand kilograms was strong and fierce. Its power was terrifying, and it could easily break stones. Although the Scorpion-tailed Wolves were not weak, they could not resist it. They were immediately sent flying by the palm, vomiting blood and unable to get up.
With the help of the terrain, a few foundational sword techniques, and the Lesser Dragon-subduing Hand, Chen Zong killed more than a dozen Scorpion-tailed Wolves. The corpses fell to the ground in a mess, and traces of green scarlet blood flowed out.
He cut off all the scorpion tails, a total of 16, and tied them with rattan.
Ten of them were turned in, and the remaining six could be sold for money.
Clap, clap, clap. Chen Zong's sharp eyes swept across.
"I thought you would die under the Scorpion-tailed Wolves' scorpion tails. I didn't expect you to be unscathed. Your strength is not bad." A person stepped onto the cliff with a mocking smile on his face. He said neither quickly nor slowly, "Unfortunately, you don't know what's good for you. Now, obediently hand over the wooden tablet of the Boiling Blood Pool and I'll go easy on you."
"You are from the Bai family? Bai Yushan or Bai Yulou sent you here? "Chen Zong raised his eyebrows and asked with a faint smile.
"How dare you call Eldest Senior Brother by his full name?" Bai Zhongping was instantly enraged. Channeling his Qi and blood, he took a step forward and unsheathed his sword. He waved it rapidly, leaving behind afterimages, and then quickly stabbed at Chen Zong.
When channeling his Qi and blood, not only could his arm strength reach four thousand catties, his speed was also much faster than a Qi and blood practitioner at the sixth level.
When Bai Zhongping moved, Chen Zong had already seen through the clues. He immediately retreated. His footsteps seemed disorderly, but in reality, they were orderly, avoiding Bai Zhongping's sword. His body was low, and his iron sword went from bottom to top towards Bai Zhongping's abdomen.
The sword immediately chopped down, and Chen Zong dodged it again. His sword turned into a stab, stabbing towards Bai Zhongping's heart. In an instant, it changed into a slash towards Bai Zhongping's throat. In an instant, it changed into a point, aiming at Bai Zhongping's left shoulder and collarbone. Finally, it changed into a flick, aiming for Bai Zhongping's ear.
One Sword Five Transformations was as fast as lightning. Each strike was sharp, and a chill pervaded the entire body.
Bai Zhongping immediately unleashed his Qi and blood and used his footwork to retreat. The tip of the sword almost brushed past his earlobe. If he was a little slower, his entire ear would have been cut off.
"You can actually do One Sword Five Transformations!" Bai Zhongping looked at Chen Zong from afar, his eyes filled with shock.
It was said that if one could cultivate one sword technique to the point of One Sword Nine Transformations, there would be a miraculous change. However, no one knew what it was exactly, because very, very few people could do it.
For example, the Eldest Senior Brother Bai Yushan, who was the most skilled in sword techniques in Glorious Sword Academy, could only do One Sword Three Transformations. He could barely do One Sword Four Transformations.
It was undoubtedly unwise to engage in close combat with someone who could do One Sword Five Transformations with ordinary sword techniques, unless one's strength or speed far exceeded the opponent's.
However, his arm strength was four thousand catties, and his speed was even faster. It seemed like he had the upper hand, but for some reason, the opponent's sword was very powerful. It was probably comparable to an ordinary Qi and blood practitioner at the seventh level.
Taking a deep breath, Bai Zhongping's Qi and blood sped up. As his longsword swayed, specks of starlight seemed to flash around his body.
This was the Bai Family's Mid-Class Starry Sword Technique, the first level of perfection.
"Starry Sky!"
Bai Zhongping growled and drew his sword. The terrifying sword turned into dozens of specks of starlight, shooting towards Chen Zong's body like shooting stars.
"Starry Sky!"
Just to be safe, Bai Zhongping unleashed his Qi and blood again, performing the second level of the Starry Sword Technique, reaching the realm of full mastery.
The dozens of specks of starlight shooting towards Chen Zong instantly expanded and became even more dazzling. It was so blinding that Chen Zong could not look at it directly. A strong sense of danger surged through his body, and his heart raced.
Using the Wind Stepping Steps, Chen Zong quickly retreated three meters with each step. He kicked out continuously, kicking the corpses of the Scorpse-tailed Wolves one after another into the dozens of specks of starlight.
Puchi! Puchi! Puchi! The corpses of the Scorpse-tailed Wolves were pierced and torn apart. It was a cruel scene.
After piercing through seven or eight Scorpse-tailed Wolves, the dozens of specks of starlight finally dimmed down. Chen Zong drew his sword, which was as fast as lightning. After shattering the specks of starlight, he kicked the dozens of tied scorpion tails towards Bai Zhongping. He waved the sword in his hand and turned it into a lonely star, standing alone in the world.
Bai Zhongping dodged the scorpion tails. While he was distracted, Chen Zong's sword had already reached him without him noticing. Shocked, he waved his sword to defend. The sword changed five more times, forcing Bai Zhongping to back off. Just as he was about to unleash his Qi and blood again, an extremely bright light bloomed in front of him, making his eyes feel like they were pricked by needles.
Under the bright light, shadows spread out and intertwined. Between the light and shadow, it was hard to tell what was real and what was fake.
All of Chen Zong's physical strength and Qi and blood were unleashed instantly. The Sky Light and Cloud Shadow Sword showed no mercy.
Under the bright light and the dark shadow, a sword struck towards Chen Zong silently.
Bai Zhongping shouted and slashed down with his sword.
As the light and shadow disappeared, Bai Zhongping's shirt was cut open, revealing his silver inner armor. Blood gushed out from the cut silver inner armor, and his strength was quickly draining away.
Chen Zong's face was pale, and he was on the verge of collapsing. On his raised left arm, there was a cut on the heavy iron armguard, and blood was seeping out.
He raised his sword and wanted to stab again, but he felt weak all over.
