Chapter 52 Undercurrent
(Thanks to Yingguang's friends for their rewards! Today's first update is delivered!)
At this time, the living Fenglang smelled the bloody smell, and immediately thrust forward again.
After the breakthrough, Jiang Chen's reaction speed instantly soared. He instantly ejected a knife like lightning, and with a backhand slashed, the Yanling Knife slashed heavily at Feng Lang's waist that was pounced on his shoulder.
With a "puff!", blood splattered everywhere, and the wolf blood scattered on him. The wind wolf that had just injured him was cut in half and fell to the ground.
At the same time, Jiang Chen took a slight foot, took off the Ghost Wolf's stalking step, and dodged the Feng Wolf's sudden biting at his calf. Then he kicked the Feng Wolf hard.
At this time, another batch of wind wolf rushed up, with more numbers, about six, twice as many as before.
However, Jiang Chen was not panicked at all. After the first level of the Demon Sword Technique was refined, his spiritual consciousness, body skills, and speed were greatly improved compared to before. If he could not handle even three wind wolves before, now, in his eyes, the six wind wolves are not difficult to deal with.
"Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish!"
Jiang Chen used his knife like lightning, slashing six consecutively.
"Puchi, puchi, puchi..."
The six wind wolves were immediately hit by the sword, either the wolf's head, the wolf's neck, or the wolf's belly. All six swords were not weak, and the sword was fatal.
Fenglang's corpse was scattered around Jiang Chen, and the wolf blood dyed his clothes red, dyeing him into a bloody man.
At this moment, the wind wolf that had been kicked away by him before still rushed up with a "screaming" scream.
A trace of splendor appeared in Jiang Chen's eyes, and the goose feathered sword in his hand was thrown out, slashing through the sky like lightning...
After stabbing the wolf's belly, the remaining momentum was gone. He continued to fly forward, and then nailed it heavily on the cage net, stabbing the wind wolf to death into a specimen hanging on the wall.
"Ba, bha, bha!"
At this time, Zi Xi's applause sounded outside the iron cage, and her pretty eyes also showed a moving look. Jiang Chen just took off his hands and threw it out, showing that his control over strength, spiritual consciousness and eyesight had been improved to a level that only cultivators in the late stage of the Qi Refining Stage can reach.
"Jiang Chen, congratulations! I have successfully mastered the first level of the Demon Sword Technique!" Zi Xi's eyes circulated, she pursed her lips and smiled. Then her white and tender jade hand raised and produced a magic trick. The door of the iron cage opened in response.
Jiang Chen crawled out of the iron cage and sighed a little: "If it weren't for the advice of my senior sister, I'm afraid I would have been far away from me if I wanted to refine the first level of the Demon Sword Technique."
"Actually, with your talent, it's a matter of time to refine the first level. I'm afraid it won't work if I want to refine it so quickly... So, I had to use this method of "Dancing with the wolf" to see if you have a chance to make a breakthrough! Fortunately, you were indeed as I expected, and finally succeeded!" Zi Xi smiled sweetly.
Then, her teeth bit her red lips, her pretty eyes slightly raised, and her pure pretty face showed a trace of solemnity: "Although your demon sword technique has been refined into the first level and its strength has increased greatly, it can only be said that she has the power to compete with Ximen Jie. After all, he has already broken through to the seventh level of the Qi Refining Stage, and is considered a cultivator in the late Qi Refining Stage. His cultivation is much higher than that of the mid- Qi Refining Stage. You can still not take it lightly. In the eyes of the senior sister, your victory or defeat is only a 50-5-5-5!"
Jiang Chen knew that she was worried that she was too proud and proud. So she said seriously: "Sister, don't worry, senior sister, I will definitely do my best and pay attention to the opponent! Moreover, the most advantageous thing now is that I know Ximen Jie's strength, but he doesn't know that I have a breakthrough. At that time, if you have a plan or not, I must let him fall into a big flaw!"
Speaking of this, a smirk appeared on his face.
"Haha, OK! Senior sister is waiting for your good news!" Zi Xi chuckled.
"With the advice and care of my senior sister, I will say goodbye first!" After Jiang Chen said that, he clasped his fists to Zixi and Uncle Kun and made a series of things, and then turned into a ray of light and left.
Zi Xi looked at Jiang Chen's departure back, but suddenly felt a little disappointed in her heart, as if she felt reluctant to leave him.
She didn't know why she suddenly felt this way. Logically, although Jiang Chen's alchemy level is high and his talent and understanding are outstanding, he is not as good as her. Moreover, the cultivation of both sides is so different from his status in the Heavenly Demon Sect...
Zi Xi shook her head gently, trying to get the distracting thoughts out of her mind, then stared at the red sun in the sky, thinking to herself: "I have reached the peak of the early stage now. The reason why I haven't chosen to break through seclusion is because the Zhuyan Pill has not been refined, so I have a knot in my heart. Now that the knot in my heart has been resolved, it is time for me to go into seclusion. This time I will never get out of seclusion if I don't break through to the middle stage!"
Thinking of this, she said to Uncle Kun: "Uncle Kun, I will go back to Tianyou Peak tomorrow. I will go to seclusion and hit the bottleneck in the mid-term! You will help me take more responsibility for the Tiangongfang business!"
"Yes! Miss, please go to seclusion! There is nothing particularly important, I won't disturb you!" Uncle Kun hurriedly bowed and bowed.
"Well! But if Jiang Chen has any urgent matters, remember to notify me!" Zi Xi reminded.
"Ah! What happened to Jiang Chen?" Uncle Kun was stunned for a moment, with a strange look on his face, but he nodded and said, "I understand! If there is something wrong with Jiang Chen, the old servant can't solve it, I will definitely notify the lady!"
Zixi said with satisfaction: "Okay! Then I'll leave first, I'll leave here to you..."
*********************************************************************
After Jiang Chen returned to the Demon Soul Peak, he fell asleep. After all, this month was too tiring and hard, and he had to fight tomorrow. He had to accumulate strength to keep his body in the best condition.
While Jiang Chen was sleeping soundly, Liu Yang and Liu Qingchuan and his son were secretly discussing in the cave.
"Dad, I just got the information and said that Jiang Chen had come back and didn't come out after entering his cave. I guess he should have fallen asleep!" Liu Yanghui reported.
"Well! I have already figured out how to deal with Jiang Chen! You can do it as I do, and immediately contact Ximen Jie of the Demon Corpse Peak, and ask him to propose a life-and-death battle with Jiang Chen during a martial arts competition in the Yinling Pool tomorrow, so that he can kill this kid in one fell swoop!" Liu Qingchuan said with a gloomy face.
After hearing this, Liu Yang asked with a puzzled look: "Dad, is it necessary for us to cause such trouble? Even if we don't take action ourselves, we can just hire a few casual cultivators from outside to solve Jiang Chen!"
"Bastard! You think things too simple! Jiang Chen is no longer the same thing as before!"
Liu Qingchuan looked stern and scolded: "Do you know where Jiang Chen has gone this month?"
After hearing this, Liu Yang was stunned for a moment, and then said, "I heard that I had gone to Tianmo City. I don't know where the other time is!"
"Hmph, this kid has never been to other places. He has been staying in the Tiangong Workshop in the Tianmo City for a whole month!" Liu Qingchuan snorted coldly.
"Isn't Tiangongfang a large weapon refining shop affiliated to Tianyou Peak? Why did he stay in it for so long? I only heard that he wants to learn alchemy. Could it be that he wants to learn weapon refining again now?" Liu Yang said in confusion.
Liu Qingchuan said hatefully: "I also think this matter is strange. I didn't care about it at the beginning, but after more than half a month, Jiang Chen has been staying in Tiangongfang and never came out, so I became suspicious!"
Speaking of this, he paused for a moment and said in a voice: "Please guess I sent someone to bribe the guy in the Tiangongfang store and find out what's going on?"
"Father, isn't he buying magic weapons?" Liu Yang asked in surprise.
"He went to help others refine Zhuyan Pills!" Liu Qingchuan said with a gloomy face: "I don't know what level of Zhuyan Pills are. I asked your second uncle Liu Cheng and then I realized that it is a pill with a low grade but very difficult to refine. According to your second uncle, it is difficult to succeed if he wants to refine it!"
"What! There is such a thing!" Liu Yang said in a panic: "Wouldn't that mean that Jiang Chen's alchemy technique is stronger than the second uncle? This is unlikely, right? You must know that he is a second-level alchemist!"
Liu Cheng is one of the two major alchemists of Demon Soul Peak. Liu Qingchuan's younger brother is also because of his existence that the Demon Soul Ancestor has always relied heavily on Liu Qingchuan and is regarded as the key training target of the Lord of the Peak under Demon Soul Peak.
"I don't think it's possible, but the owner of Tiangongfang is willing to let him practice the Zhuyan Pill, but I'm afraid that this guy's alchemy talent is also extremely clever!"
Liu Qingchuan also said worriedly: "So, once the ancestor knows that this son has the potential to become an alchemist, and he is from Xiao Jincheng's sect, I'm afraid we will be unable to touch him again!"
Speaking of this, he said angrily: "So, if this kid dies or disappears for no reason, Xiao Jincheng's sect will doubt us. If they spread this matter everywhere, saying that we have killed an alchemist with great potential for personal grudges. There are people from Tianyou Peak who are dissatisfied with death because of this. As long as we can't get the real evidence of our killing, the ancestor will be suspicious of me. It will be difficult for me to take over as the next master of Ren Feng!"
Liu Yang naturally knew how terrible Tianyou Peak's status in the Tianmo Sect was and how powerful it had in the sect's resolutions. I was afraid that even ten Demon Soul Peaks could not be the influence of one Tianyou Peak.
"But! If Jiang Chen died in the battle of life and death with the people of the Demon Corpse Peak! No one can say anything. And we will not blame us! Only then can we deal with this kid safely without bloodshed!" Liu Qingchuan said in a deep voice.
Liu Yang was also moved by it and said hurriedly: "Since that's the case, Dad, I'll go find Ximen Jie immediately!"
"Okay! Take this bag of spirit stones as reward for him! At the same time, tell him how to inspire Jiang Chen to agree to the life-and-death battle!" Liu Qingchuan whispered next to Liu Yang again, and he heard Liu Yang's face suddenly smiled and nodded frequently.
