Chapter 117: Surprising Cloud Sword Technique (Second Update)

  Two thousand pieces of low-grade spirit stone and a set of earth-level lower-tier secret manual!

  Ye Chen said he wasn't moved, but that's a lie.

  Two thousand pieces of low-grade spiritual stones can be sold at the northwest auction house, equivalent to eighty or ninety million taels of gold. A set of earth-level low-ranking secret books can sell for tens of millions of taels. Even if most small families in Tianfeng Country go bankrupt, they may not necessarily be able to afford it.

  Of course, as the first son of the inner door, his potential is indeed worth this price. The big sects are not lacking in secret books, after all, a large sect that has been passed down for hundreds of years cannot do without some extraordinary secret books.

  But Ye Chen also knew that even if an outsider offered 10 million taels of gold, the high-ranking members of the sect would not agree to sell a single copy of the ultimate secret manual.

  Esoteric scriptures, not transmitted outside the family.

  Just hearing what was said afterwards, Ye Chen slightly froze for a moment.

  A month later, accompanied by a congratulatory team to Feicui Valley?

  This was unexpected, but he didn't mind much either. Going or not going, it's all arranged by the higher-ups, and he just needs to follow along.

  ……

  Quiet mountain range.

  In a vast and majestic mountain range, mist lingers all year round, giving rise to miasma. Deep within the mountains, beastly roars often echo out, startling the heart.

  The fire burns in the void, and the golden light is blocked outside the mist. At a glance, the seven-colors are scattered, fresh and strange.

  This is the depths of the Silent Mountain Range, where the primordial energy of heaven and earth is exceptionally dense. However, due to the influence of the miasma, warriors cannot cultivate their skills here, or else they will inevitably fall into madness.

  On a small hill that had been split open by some unknown object, Ye Chen stood with his hands behind his back, wearing an ancient long sword at his waist.

  He gazed down, and in the mist hundreds of meters away, two massive dark shadows collided with each other from time to time, producing a deafening roar.

  Ahh-oh!

  A terrifying roar erupted, and in front of them, a dozen large trees fell down. A wolf the size of a house was blown over, its body covered in sharp thorns and bony spines that made it appear even larger. Its crimson pupils seemed to be dripping with blood.

  "Thorny Demon Wolf, a top-notch fourth-level demonic beast." Despite the wild wind blowing against his face, Ye Chen's figure remained still, with only his clothes fluttering in response.

  Knock knock knock knock...

  The ground shook, and a silver-gray demon cow, one step at a time, walked out of the fog, its icy, ruthless eyes first locked onto the thorny wolf, then looked towards Ye Chen's position.

  Moo!

  The silver-gray demon cow let out a mighty roar, the misty fog violently twisted and distorted, and the surface of the nearby fallen leaves appeared with threads of electric current, burning into nothingness.

  Ye Chen was slightly surprised, it turned out to be a rare Silver Electric Demon Cow, this is even more dangerous than the Thorny Magic Wolf, no wonder the Thorny Magic Wolf couldn't beat it.

  Both monsters have a body size as big as a house, with an aura that pierces the sky and creates a terrifying whirlwind.

  "Two top-notch four-star demon beasts should be able to serve as a good training."

  If others knew Ye Chen's thoughts, they would definitely say he was speaking wildly. After all, demonic beasts were far stronger than warriors of the same level. Even a fighting genius like him might not be able to defeat them, let alone two top-tier four-star demonic beasts that were equivalent to peak warriors in the Condensing Reality realm.

  The Thorny Wolf gazed warily at the Silver Electric Ox, its body slightly crouched down. Its instincts told it to eliminate any human who ventured too deep into this land, but the Silver Electric Ox before it was several times more dangerous than that human. If it wasn't careful, it would be killed in an instant.

  Ahh! Ahh! Ahh!

  Thorny Devil Wolf roared towards Silver Electric Ox, as if conveying some information.

  After a long time, the Silver Electric Cow suddenly sprayed out a stream of electrically charged air from its nostrils. Its hooves stomped twice on the ground and then unexpectedly rushed out.

  Whoosh!

  The massive body of the Silver Electric Ox did not slow down its speed, like a thick silver electric light, it rushed straight to the Ye Dust on the small mountain.

  At the same time, the Thorny Wolf also launched an attack on Ye Chen, charging straight at the small hill.

  "Get out!"

  Clang!

  The sword emerged from its scabbard, its momentum unpredictable, lightly and easily striking the body of the Silver Electric Demon Cow.

  The ferocious eyes of the Silver Electric Ox were filled with shock and uncertainty, its massive body flew backward, knocking down many ancient trees covered in vines.

  Rumble!

  Underfoot, a mountain peak collapses, and the thorny wolf-like creature bursts out of the rubble, its jaws wide open to reveal a cluster of icy black air.

  Ye Chen's foot lightly tapped on the scattered rocks that had not yet fallen, his body straightened upwards, a sword aura like a dragon touring the nine heavens, shot down fiercely, and directly split the thorny magic wolf.

  Like the Thorny Wolf and the Silver Electric Ox, they did not expect Ye Chen's swordsmanship to be so fierce. His body was airborne, flipping and flying sideways to collide with a giant boulder to avoid the sharp edge of the sword energy.

  "The cloud is unpredictable, the surprising cloud has no fixed place, where can I hide!"

  One punch shattered the black air spewed out by the Thorny Demon Wolf, and countless ice blocks were crushed by the fist's power, turning into a sky full of ice shards that fell down, fluttering about. Meanwhile, below, the originally straight sword energy twisted several times, as if it was like clouds in the sky without any shape or form constraints, slantingly slashing onto the Thorny Demon Wolf's back.

  Splendid!

  Several thorns were cut off, the Thorn Wolf lost its balance and fell heavily to the ground, smashing out a huge pit.

  Crack!

  From the side came a flash of silver light, it was the undying Silver Electric Ox Demon. Its speed was like lightning, its voice was like thunder, and with a burst of wind and electricity, it incinerated all the air in front of it into a vacuum.

  "The Clouds Are Endless!"

  Ye Chen swung out a massive sword energy, the sword energy was extremely overbearing, wherever it went, the air was swept away, filled with infinite explosive force.

  The silver electric cow opened its mouth and sprayed out a ball of electricity, which collided with the sword energy.

  Boom! Boom! Bang! Bang!

  The lightning was completely broken, and the sword energy cut onto the forehead of the silver electric cow demon, leaving a deep scar that reached the bone, with blood flowing straight down.

  The next moment, the Silver Electric Ox's body lost its balance and fell to the ground with a loud crash. The earth shook violently, and the electric lights around it burst out, burning the land into cracks and charred blackness. A cluster of lush wild grass was burned to ashes.

  Suddenly sprang up from the ground, the Silver Electric Cow looked at Ye Chen with a wary eye, not daring to attack again. Its defense was very strong, but it had not yet reached the point where it could ignore the sword energy. If it took too many hits, it would still be in trouble. Beside it, the Thorny Magic Wolf involuntarily moved closer to the Silver Electric Cow, as if preparing to join forces with it and launch a joint attack to kill this human with such formidable sword skills.

  "A low-level sword technique at the prefecture level, it's indeed formidable." Lightly floating down onto an ancient tree, Ye Dust looked down at the sword body and thought to himself.

  It's been more than half a month since the ranking match ended. Half a month ago, Ye Chen chose a sword technique from many low-level secret techniques, called Jīng Yún Sword Technique.

  The clouds are unpredictable, and the Surprising Cloud Sword Technique is no exception. Every move, every style is full of variables, even the practitioner themselves cannot fully control it, let alone their opponents. Moreover, the Surprising Cloud Sword Technique is a very overbearing sword technique. With one sword out, the wind stops and the clouds are shocked, the lethality is extremely terrifying, far surpassing the Lone Peak Thirteen Swords in both deadliness and speed.

  After mastering the skill, Ye Chen went alone to the depths of the Quiet Mountain Range, wanting to test the power of his swordsmanship on a demonic beast. This battle was indeed boundless in its power.
