Chapter 9 Hidden Dangers
In the empty black forest, about a cup of tea after Ling Chen left, several figures suddenly appeared in the open space shrouded in the bloody smell.
Among these several figures, the leader was about forty years old, wearing a luxurious yellow robe, looking somewhat majestic. The others were all wearing black clothes, on which was embroidered a strange beast that looked like a tiger or a cow. It was obvious that these people in black were from the same force.
"baby!"
When the middle-aged man in yellow robe saw the corpse of the demon ape on the ground, he suddenly howled, ran to the corpse and burst into tears.
"My baby was killed. Who did it? Which damn bastard did it?"
The middle-aged man in the yellow robe let out a heart-wrenching roar, "I have raised this black demon ape for twenty years. I have saved every penny and fed it all kinds of natural treasures and rare medicines, just to suck its blood and help me achieve great success. Over the years, I have not been willing to enjoy even a drop of its blood, but this bastard actually sucked it all away. How hateful!"
The men in black came closer to take a look, then bowed to the middle-aged man in yellow robe, "Your Highness, in addition to the headless body on the ground, there are two bodies. Judging from the way they died, they should have been killed by the demon ape. After that, there should have been other people here, and the demon ape was probably killed by the people who came later."
"Judging from the attire of these two corpses, the dead should be disciples of the Divine Will Sect."
"So, it is very likely that a disciple of the Divine Will Sect did it? Investigate it for me, and make sure you find the murderer for me!"
The middle-aged man in yellow robe shouted sternly.
"Yes, sir!"
Several men in black clasped their fists in response.
However, they knew that it would be very difficult to catch the murderer.
"Catch this man! I will make him suffer a fate worse than death!"
The middle-aged man in the yellow robe had an extremely gloomy face. This Black Demon Ape was an exotic beast given to him by the elder of the Demon Sect, Old Man Wanshou. It was of great help to him in practicing martial arts. Now, this Black Demon Ape was killed by someone else, and even its essence and blood were taken away. How could he not be angry?
However, what made him very aggrieved was that he could not make this matter public. The fact that he was raising demon apes and practicing magic skills could not be made public, so this matter could only be investigated secretly.
There was a cold light flashing in the eyes of the middle-aged man in yellow robe. Once he caught that man, he would definitely suck all the blood and essence from his body to make up for his losses.
…
After leaving the Demon Forest, Ling Chen went to the Deacon Hall to hand over the mission, and then exchanged all the contribution points he had obtained into resources.
As for the wealth obtained from Meng Yuan and the Evil Blood Swordsman, Ling Chen had already secretly dealt with it through the black market. Meng Yuan was a child of a noble family and had a considerable fortune, while the Evil Blood Swordsman had been in the underworld for many years. Once the wealth of the two was sold, they had enough resources for two months of cultivation.
Ling Chen now has five bottles of Qi Gathering Powder in his hand.
After returning to Wuchen Court, Ling Chen immediately began to practice in seclusion.
Time waits for no one. The duel with Yun Tianhe is still in two months, and now he has only reached the fourth level of cultivation. The gap between him and Yun Tianhe is not a little bit. If he does not seize the time and work , he will surely die without a burial place on the fighting arena.
“The effect of Qi Gathering Powder is amazing. I only used one bottle before, and I reached the fourth level of warrior. Now, I have five bottles. I wonder how strong I will be after I refine all five bottles of Qi Gathering Powder!” Ling Chen sat cross-legged on the cushion, his eyes burning with enthusiasm.
Although the human body has a limit to its absorption of Qi Gathering Powder, using Qi Gathering Powder does not necessarily improve one's cultivation level. There is no such good thing in the world.
This is mainly because Ling Chen has a foundation in cultivation, so even if he uses a large amount of Qi Gathering Powder to improve his cultivation, his cultivation will not become unstable.
"let's start!"
Without hesitation, Ling Chen opened the jade bottle and swallowed a bottle of Qi Gathering Powder directly into his stomach. The Lingtian Sword Sutra began to circulate and began to rapidly absorb the amazing medicinal effects.
In the following time, Ling Chen continued to practice hard.
The speed of practicing Ling Tian Sword Scripture is much faster than that of ordinary practice methods. In addition, Ling Chen is practicing from scratch and has extraordinary talent, so his practice speed is undoubtedly faster than that of ordinary people.
At the same time, Ling Chen also had five bottles of Qi Gathering Powder and a large number of other cultivation resources, which he used regardless of the cost as long as they could help improve his cultivation in the slightest .
All these factors combined made Ling Chen's cultivation speed reach an extremely astonishing level.
And at night, Ling Chen would appear in the bronze man formation to hone his sword skills.
In addition to the many Shenyi Sect sword techniques that he had practiced before, Ling Chen now focused on the Xunlong Sword Technique. Every move and style of the Xunlong Sword Technique was extremely powerful, but conversely, it was also extremely difficult to master every move and style of the Xunlong Sword Technique.
The Bronze Man Formation is a place where the disciples of the Divine Will Sect practice martial arts. It is specially arranged by the formation master and is filled with bronze men. This bronze man formation contains hundreds of martial arts variations and can almost be said to be the best sparring partner.
"This Ling Chen is really hardworking. Every day I see him entering the bronze man formation and practicing until late at night."
"What's the use? He only has less than two months left. Do you think he will be able to fight Brother Yun Tianhe in two months?"
"If it was anyone else, there would be no hope. But he is Ling Chen, the former number one genius in the martial arts world. I think there is hope."
"Forget it, he was just a genius in the past. Now he is just an ordinary outer disciple like you and me."
In the bronze man formation, several Shenyi Sect disciples saw Ling Chen and started talking about it.
In the blink of an eye, more than half a month had passed, and now there was only one month left before the life-and-death duel with Yun Tianhe.
It was drizzling in the evening.
In the wooden house, Ling Chen finally absorbed the last bit of the medicinal effect left in his body, and then he slowly opened his eyes. In his body, waves of energy surged up, and as he suddenly clenched his hands, explosive power suddenly erupted, as if it could directly crush the air.
Ling Chen's eyes also sparkled with a strong brilliance.
"The sixth level of martial arts!"
Ling Chen was overjoyed.
After more than half a month of hard training, he absorbed most of the resources in his hands. You have to know how amazing the medicinal effect of the Qi Gathering Powder is. It usually takes at least a month for ordinary warriors to completely absorb one pill. He also relied on the magic of Lingtian Zhenqi to absorb five pills directly in such a short time.
And because of this, his strength has improved by leaps and bounds.
From the fourth level of martial arts that he had just broken through, he broke through two levels in a row and reached the sixth level of martial arts!
At this moment, in Ling Chen's Dantian, there were six rings of true qi. The surging true qi formed a cycle, which was endless and endless.
The eight extraordinary meridians have basically been reopened.
The glory of genius gradually began to shine again on Ling Chen.
“Although I have reached the sixth level of martial arts, it is still not enough to defeat Yun Tianhe.”
Ling Chen understood Yun Tianhe's strength. Even at his peak, he might not be 100% sure of defeating Yun Tianhe, not to mention that his current strength was still far behind his peak.
"We need to get stronger, but time is running out."
Ling Chen frowned. His strength was improving very quickly, but he only had one month left. His resources were almost used up, and if he continued at a normal pace, he would not be able to achieve his desired goal.
Only with extreme training can one have the possibility of breaking through the limit again.
"I almost forgot, there is another place that might be able to help me break through my limits."
Ling Chen's eyes suddenly lit up, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
