Chapter 38 Yun Tianhe's Challenge
"Ancient Saint King's fighting method!"
These five words passed through Ling Chen's mind like thunder.
The corners of Ling Chen's mouth curved up. Since this was the fighting method left by General Tianfu, there was no doubt that it must be a powerful secret method rarely seen in this world.
After flipping through the secret book, Ling Chen roughly understood the content of this battle method.
This ancient sage king's combat method is divided into three levels. After mastering the first level, using this combat method can temporarily improve one level. After mastering the second level, it can be improved by two levels, and so on until the third level, it can be improved by three levels.
This means that if Ling Chen could master all three realms, he could instantly ascend to the level of a second-level martial artist.
This fighting method becomes more terrifying in the later stages, and this ancient sage king's fighting method is undoubtedly more advanced than Xu Ruoyan's Ice Heart Spirit.
This is simply a secret method that defies the heavens.
However, this ancient sage king's tactics has a flaw, that is, there will be a period of weakness after using it. That means that before the time limit of the tactics expires, the battle must be ended or escaped, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.
This tactic should not be used lightly unless it is absolutely necessary.
However, having this additional tactic is undoubtedly equivalent to having another life-saving trump card.
After remembering the contents of the secret book firmly, Ling Chen put the secret book back into the Tianfu Ring.
Ling Chen's eyes sparkled with a hint of brilliance. If he had obtained this ancient sage king's fighting method earlier, he would not have ended up in such an embarrassing situation.
Without hesitation, Ling Chen immediately began to practice this ancient sage king's fighting method.
"The way to pacify the world is to be a sage within and a king without."
Ling Chen muttered to himself, he had already started practicing the battle formula.
With his talent, even though the ancient sage king's fighting method was difficult to understand, it did not pose a problem for him.
He was still able to master the first level of the mantra.
In the next few days, Ling Chen practiced the ancient sage king's fighting methods on the one hand, and continued to recover from his injuries on the other.
Five days later.
Ling Chen finally succeeded in practicing the first level of the Ancient Saint King's combat method.
At the same time, the previous injuries have almost recovered.
There were many medicinal pills in Liu Chuanxiong's bag. Lu Meng killed Liu Chuanxiong but did not take the bag. I guess he did not think highly of it. Ling Chen took all these things. With the help of the power of these medicinal pills, he was able to recover from his serious injuries so quickly.
The first level of this ancient Saint King combat method is the easiest, but starting from the second level, the difficulty increases more than tenfold, not to mention the third level, which requires even more time to master.
Ling Chen's current ability only allows him to master the first level. As for when he will be able to learn the second level, that is hard to say.
Now Ling Chen's cultivation has vaguely reached the peak of the eighth level, approaching the ninth level of warrior.
That was his former state.
"It's time to go back."
Ling Chen stood up from the ground. He had been here for a while. This was a tomb with a heavy yin energy and was isolated from the outside world. Staying here for a long time would not only affect his body but also his mind.
Before leaving, Ling Chen bowed three times to the stone platform. If he guessed correctly, the ashes on the stone platform should belong to General Tianfu himself. He had gained so many benefits from this place, and logically speaking, this was someone else's cemetery and he should not enter without permission.
"Senior Tianfu, I have accepted your relics. I hope you won't blame me. It would be a waste to leave them here. Once they are in my hands, I will make sure they shine as they should. I believe you don't want to see these things rot here completely."
Ling Chen didn't say a single empty word. If it were anyone else, they would have taken the things and ran away long ago. How could they have been so polite and respectful to their seniors as he was?
After the ceremony, Ling Chen turned around and walked towards the passage he came from.
The entrance of the cave.
Ling Chen brought a few large stones from other places and blocked the entrance to the cave. There was nothing left in the cemetery, but in order to prevent someone from finding their way in later, it would inevitably disturb the heroic spirit of General Tianfu.
After bowing once more in the direction of the cemetery, Ling Chen jumped on his horse and rode away in a cloud of dust.
…
The Gate of Divine Will.
On a path not far from the mountain gate, a group of disciples were gathered together, seemingly discussing something.
Among this group of people, there was Ling Chen's acquaintance, Yun Tianhe.
"Have you heard that among the five people who went to do the Ten Miles Fragrance mission some time ago, only Xu Ruoyan came back, and she was seriously injured and almost lost her life." A disciple whispered.
"I heard that Ling Chen was also in the team, but he didn't come back in the end?" another disciple asked.
"Xu Ruoyan, a second-level martial artist, was injured like this, so how could the others still have a chance to survive? They are probably dead." Another disciple echoed.
"Dead? That's too good for him."
The disciple who spoke earlier looked at Yun Tianhe with a flattering look on his face, "Senior Brother Yun is now a martial artist of the first level. It is time for him to avenge Ling Chen. I didn't expect that this kid would die somewhere else first."
Hearing the words "avenge", Yun Tianhe's face turned gloomy . The last time he lost to Ling Chen on the life and death stage, it was simply a stain on his life.
A disciple saw Yun Tianhe's strange expression and quickly scolded him, "What are you talking about? What about avenging the shame? Senior Brother Yun Tianhe was just careless for a moment, so he made a mistake. How can it be a shame? If Ling Chen doesn't die this time, Senior Brother Yun will beat him to a pulp!"
"That's right, Senior Brother Yun's strength has already dominated the younger generation." The other disciples praised him one after another.
"Humph! It's a pity that the boy is looking for death, otherwise, I will definitely make him kneel in front of me!"
Yun Tianhe said coldly.
Just as he finished speaking, a familiar young man in white clothes walked past him.
"Isn't that Ling Chen?"
A sharp-eyed disciple screamed in surprise.
"It turns out this guy is not dead." The remaining disciples were also a little surprised.
"It's good that you didn't die!"
Yun Tianhe was both happy and angry. He was angry that this kid was so lucky, but he was happy that he could finally wash away the shame of losing to Ling Chen with his own hands.
"Ling Chen, stop right there!"
Yun Tianhe shouted as he appeared behind Ling Chen.
His steps suddenly stopped, Ling Chen turned around, his face calm, "What do you have to say?"
"What do you think of me?" Yun Tianhe's eyes grew colder. "I lost to you last time because I was careless. This time, I will make you kneel in front of me and lick the soles of my shoes!"
"Private fighting is prohibited in the sect. Do you want to violate the ban?" Ling Chen said calmly.
"We are just sparring, stop talking nonsense. You have to fight today, whether you want to or not!"
Yun Tianhe was already impatient to defeat Ling Chen and trample the latter under his feet. He didn't have the patience to wait and be dragged on by Ling Chen for a few months, and by then, unexpected changes would arise.
"Why bother? I don't want to torture a defeated general."
Ling Chen showed a helpless look on his face.
"Haha, what a joke! With your ability, it's not certain who will be the one to beat whom this time."
Yun Tianhe's face was gloomy. Suddenly, he drew his sword and cracked the ground with his foot, rushing towards Ling Chen like lightning.
"God Gate's Shadow!"
On the way, Yun Tianhe held the sword in both hands and swung it quickly. Because of his fast speed, his arms seemed to sink into the void, leaving only the sword beams crisscrossing and covering the entire platform, completely sealing off the space where Ling Chen was, making it impossible for him to retreat, advance or dodge. There was only one way left, and that was to fight hard.
"Good! You are worthy of being Senior Brother Yun Tianhe!"
"Ling Chen is doomed to fail. Just wait for Senior Brother Yun to lick his shoes!"
Several disciples looked like they were waiting to see a good show.
"Look! Ling Chen and Yun Tianhe are fighting again!"
At this time, other disciples who passed by here also gathered together. This place was very close to the mountain gate, so naturally there would be more people coming here.
"Yun Tianhe came prepared this time. He is already a first-level martial artist, while Ling Chen has just reached the eighth level."
"Yeah, it's too bullying. With this gap, there's no way to fight."
Passing disciples were also not optimistic about Ling Chen. The gap between a warrior and a martial artist was quite large, and the last time Ling Chen defeated Yun Tianhe, he had already given his all. This time, Ling Chen was probably more likely to lose.
But they didn't know that Ling Chen already had a record of killing two martial artists with one sword. The seemingly insurmountable gap was nothing to Ling Chen.
clang!
Yun Tianhe's sword beams were extremely fancy and dazzling. He was confident that he could play Ling Chen in the palm of his hand this time. However, when he stood in front of Ling Chen, he was easily blocked by the scabbard. No matter how fancy he was, he could not move forward in the end.
"How can it be?"
The sword move was easily blocked, and Yun Tianhe's face darkened again. He pressed down hard on the hilt of the sword, trying to use his strength advantage to suppress Ling Chen.
But in terms of strength, how could he have an advantage?
"roll!"
Ling Chen shouted loudly, and an astonishing force suddenly erupted from the scabbard, causing a faint ripple in the air. As soon as the shout fell, Yun Tianhe was blown away.
