Chapter 147: The Tiger Falls in Pingyang (First Update!)

  Shi Yan leaned against a small boat in one corner, closing his eyes and cultivating his spirit, quietly recovering his vital energy.

  That Blood Pattern Ring, in order to seal away the Profound Ice Flame, swallowed all of his various powers, rendering Shi Yan powerless and no different from an ordinary person who had never cultivated martial arts.

  Fortunately, all his cultivation foundation was intact, and his martial soul was also safe and sound. After several days of silent cultivation on the boat, Shi Yan re-condensed a strand of pure yuan, quietly gathering the heaven and earth yuan qi, causing that strand of pure yuan to gradually grow stronger.

  In just a few short days, the vital energy in his lower abdomen had already taken shape.

  "The power of silence" Shi Yan gradually put his mind at ease, knowing that as long as he had another ten days or half a month's time, his vital energy would recover completely.

  His whole body's muscles and bones were tempered day and night by the cold air, and a thread of cold air was constantly emanating from his veins.

  The cold air permeated his entire body, and most of the cold air had penetrated into his bones, bone marrow, blood, and meridians, making his body capable of withstanding the invasion of cold air without being affected by it.

  "The place where cold air gathers most" was actually the fresh blood in his body.

  Ever since that time when he accidentally merged the cold energy into his blood during his cultivation of the second layer of the Violent Walk, the properties of his blood seemed to have undergone a subtle change. As his blood flowed, there was a faint aura of cold energy emanating from it, and it seemed to contain a considerable amount of cold power.

  For three years, in the bitter struggle with Xuan Bing's cold flames, his body gradually adapted to the invasion of the cold air, and the cold air hidden in his fresh blood also increased a lot over the past three years.

  For three years, he didn't dare to relax for a moment, his mental strength was highly tense, and the struggle with Xuan Bing's soul made him naturally enter the realm of Bai Jie Er Chong Tian, and also brought his use of mental strength and soul power to a new height.

  Hiding in a small boat, the corner of the stone rock is calm and indifferent. Most of the time is spent refining the essence, and also spends time to comprehend the changes of the heart, repeatedly combing through the experience of the three-year soul war.

  This period of quietness will be greatly beneficial to his future progress, and he has also realized this, so he doesn't think it's beneath him to be on such a small boat, instead he is happy to be relaxed, diligently cultivating himself every day.

  Sometimes, Shi Yan would sink his spiritual power into the Blood Vein Ring to observe the mysterious ice flames inside. He found that under the strange vortex entanglement, although the mysterious ice flames were always trying to escape from the Blood Vein Ring, they could never truly break free from it.

  Slowly, Shi Yan also put down his mind, knowing that the Blood Mark Seal had indeed suppressed the Xuan Bing Cold Flame, one of the Heavenly Fires.

  Xuán Ice Flame is one of the Heavenly Fires, a cold air flame that existed when heaven and earth first opened. It has an evil and ancient consciousness, with a special life.

  If the consciousness of Xuan Bing Han Yan can be erased and merged into the sea of consciousness, it will completely change the sea of consciousness, causing it to undergo a mutation and become an invincible strongman of the same level.

  The stone rock has this crazy idea, unfortunately, only the warriors of the Nie's nest can truly form the sea of consciousness. The wonderful uses of the sea of consciousness are endless, and various magical powers can be displayed through it. If the sea of consciousness is not formed, wanting to merge with the mysterious ice and flame will be extremely difficult, and instead, one may be possessed by the mysterious ice and flame.

  To merge the Xuanbing cold flame, apart from forming the sea of consciousness, one must also gather nine kinds of extremely yang and hot heavenly materials and earthly treasures. With these nine kinds of extremely yang and hot heavenly materials and earthly treasures to refine the evil consciousness of the Xuanbing cold flame until it is on its last breath, only then can one seize the opportunity to merge it.

  The sea of knowledge and the treasure of heaven and earth are indispensable. If one is missing, even a clever strategist would not dare to act rashly.

  Three years of soul warfare had given him a deep understanding of the terror of Xuanbing Han Yan. If it weren't for the numerous negative emotions in his acupoints, and if not for the magical assistance of the Blood Pattern Seal, he feared that he wouldn't have been able to withstand even three days, and would have long since fallen prey to Xuanbing Han Yan's soul-snatching.

  The sun sets, and the bright moon and stars slowly hang in the night sky.

  A multitude of stars, a wisp of starlight that is hard to see with the naked eye, quietly flew down from the ninth heaven, and was absorbed by the pores all over Shi Yan's body, gathering at the Star Martial Soul in his heart.

  Xīng chén wǔ hún xī shōu le yī bù fen xīng chén zhī lì, yòu kāi shǐ yǒu diǎn diǎn xīng guāng zài xīn zàng chù shǎn shuò, shí yán yòu gǎn shòu dào líng xīng de xīng chén zhī lì de cún zài.

  He raised his head and gazed at the starry sky, Shi Yan's expression was cold and indifferent, with a fierce curve hooked at the corner of his mouth.

  Chen Feng, Zheng Yanqing, Dongfang Qiang, Gu Jian Ge...

  These four names, one by one, flashed through his mind, and Shi Yan's eyes grew even colder, with a faint chill emanating from his body.

  At the last moment on Monroe Island, these four people joined forces to try and send him to his death. As he fell into the cave, he saw numerous attacks coming at him from all sides. If it weren't for Xuan Bing's icy flames blocking the ice blocks in the cave, he would have been beaten to a pulp by the four of them, leaving not even a speck of dust behind.

  Especially Dongfang Qiu and Gu Jian Ge, who actually had lewd thoughts about Gan Xiaoxiang, which made Shi Yan hate them even more.

  "Bang! Bang! Bang!", Linda's chestnut-colored hair shook, gently slapping her buttocks, and suddenly emerged from the bottom of the boat.

  In the darkness, Linda's beautiful eyes shone brightly as she gazed out at the distance on the deck, saying softly: "Everyone be careful, we're about to leave the Tian Xiao Islands. It's said that there are monsters lurking around here, so let's all be prepared..."

  On the deck, a dozen or so warriors were yawning, none of them in good spirits.

  Kamon had been bothering Shiran for the past two days, but with Linda protecting him, he hadn't found an opportunity to take action. As soon as he heard Linda say that there were monsters lurking nearby, Kamon jumped up and shouted: "Everyone be careful, Linda said there are monsters nearby. It must be true, she's been on this route several times before. Don't keep sleeping, get up..."

  Kamon shouted loudly on the deck, walking back and forth, kicking awake one by one the sleepy warriors.

  Kamon shouted and gradually came to the stone rock, glanced at the stone rock, and coldly said: "You also get up..." As he spoke, Kamon kicked one foot over.

  When he kicked others, he was actually very measured, and the force on his feet wasn't great. However, the one foot he raised towards Shi Yan now felt like it weighed over a million tons, moving slowly but with an unusual heaviness.

  Shi Yan slightly narrowed his eyes, immediately sensing that Kamon's kick had added a lot of spiritual energy. If he were to be kicked by this foot, an ordinary person would definitely suffer severe injuries.

  Shi Yan sneered inwardly and didn't wait for Kamon's foot to lift before he suddenly stood up and quickly walked towards Linda.

  "Hmm..."

  Kamon kicked one foot over, but it landed on a large trunk leaning against the rocky wall.

  That huge box was kicked half a meter back by him with just one foot.

  Shi Yan's face sank, and he stood aside, staring at Kamen who didn't speak.

  Some warriors around him secretly clicked their tongues, somewhat surprised, but dared not say much.

  This kick from Kamon was obviously imbued with spiritual energy; otherwise, that trunk wouldn't have moved half a meter backward.

  All the warriors knew that inside the box was a heavy Xuan Gang stone, each one much heavier than ordinary stones. If Kamon kicked the big box like this, if it fell on Shi Yan's body, Shi Yan's bones would probably be kicked to pieces.

  "Kamon, what do you want to do?" Linda also discovered the abnormality on this side, her pretty face changed, and she scolded with a frown: "Are you trying to kill someone? What did Shiyuan ever do to offend you? Do you have to be so ruthless..."

  "No way..." Kamon shrugged his shoulders and said casually, "Shi Yan is also a martial artist, although not top-notch, but he should be able to withstand this one kick from me. I'm just trying it out... to see what kind of state he's in. This kick won't take his life, anyway, we still have plenty of time before going to Yunxia Island. If he really gets hurt, he can just rest and recover quietly. This person has an unknown background, it's best for us if he can't move, otherwise who knows what unfavorable things he might do... you guys think so too, right?"

  Kamon glared at the warriors around him and shouted, "This person's background is unknown, we're in the middle of a mission, letting this guy on the boat, is it better to be injured and unable to move or to be alive and kicking?"

  Under his gaze, the warriors around him had different expressions. Those who were close to Kamon nodded slightly, while those who trusted Linda remained silent and only looked at Linda.

  "...How mysterious..." Linda snorted. "Didn't he say he was a fisherman from a nearby island?" "If he's really just a vagrant from the nearby islands, why not just send him to one of the nearby islands? There are ships coming and going on those islands too, he can easily hitch a ride back on another ship... Why does he need to cling to our ship..." Kamen sneered coldly. He wasn't stupid either, through his observations over this period of time, he had already seen that Linda seemed to have other thoughts when it came to Shiyan.

  He didn't know that Linda wanted to dig out the secret of the stone, but thought she had taken a fancy to the stone and was jealous, so he made such a fuss at this time.

  "He recalled the Cloudy Island incident, can't you...?" Linda's pretty face turned ugly, she flipped her hair and glanced at the warriors on the boat with a slanted gaze, saying: "Don't you guys understand the current situation? Do you know who is in charge of this mission? Do you know whose ship this is? If you don't want to do it, after the mission ends, all of you can leave my ship..."

  "Sister Linda, calm down." "Whatever you say goes, we're all listening to you." "Yes, Sister Linda, we didn't contradict you at all..."

  "Linda, I've followed you for so many years, wherever you go, I'll go too, just please don't drive me away..."

  Many warriors who were inclined towards Linda, all smiled and expressed their loyalty, even the few who originally thought it was inappropriate, once they saw Linda get angry, also made a bitter face, repeatedly bowing their heads to apologize.

  Linda has some prestige among the outer disciples of the Three Gods Sect, and Linda's family is also one of the most powerful forces among the many factions belonging to the Three Gods Sect.

  With Linda's exceptional qualifications, she is likely to become the core disciple of the Three Gods Sect, so in their eyes, Linda is much more valuable than Kamen.

  Linda is usually very gentle, but once she gets angry, no one dares to confront her.

  Even Kamon, seeing Linda's anger, bitterly smiled and said: "Is it worth making such a big fuss for an unknown little kid?", "You'd better behave..." Linda glared at him and shouted: "Be prepared to fight, beware of the monster..."

  "Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!", at this moment, on the surface of the water in front, splashing water flowers, a dark shadow, quickly advancing under the sea, rushing towards the small boat from all sides.

  "There really are monsters......" Linda's pretty face changed, and she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Be careful! I've never encountered a monster here before either..."

  Shi Yan furrowed his brow and gazed out at the sea, his expression calm and unruffled.
