Chapter Six: Confrontation

  In the cognition of Huo Qing, even if it is a strong warrior who has been nurtured by Qianfu Chang, only the strongest among them can barely communicate with spirits. Communication with spirits is not spirituality, but rather having a kind of instinctive feeling, which is an omen for the birth of spirituality. However, it also requires daily accumulation and continuous nurturing to have the possibility of giving birth to spirituality. Such warriors have reached the level of soul soldiers.

  The broken gun vibrated, and a surge of great force shook his palm. Huo Qing gradually couldn't grasp it, his eyes gloomy. He had been searching for Wujin for a long time, just to be able to cast the strongest gun for himself. Originally, he thought that with the cooperation of the two tribes this time, he could easily obtain this abandoned soldier, but he didn't expect such an accident to happen. Under the gaze of everyone, if they were allowed to retreat like this, how would they be able to walk in the Bloodstone Tribe in the future?

  Especially the person in front of him, three times two times gave them a hard time, Huo Qing's heart had a fire, his tone was icy: "Since this gun belongs to Xiao Wu Chang, then it should be returned to its original owner. Huo saw that Xiao Wu Chang is also good at using guns and got excited when he saw the prey, so he specially asked Xiao Wu Chang to teach him one move."

  As soon as the words were spoken, Huo Qing's palm loosened, and the broken spear hummed with a loud noise. After breaking free from its restraints, it shot towards Xiao Yi immediately. Meanwhile, Huo Qing moved in tandem with the spear, like a shadow following its master. A large scarlet spear appeared in his hand, and behind him, a dark red volcano emerged, erupting with surging magma, as if it was going to scorch the entire plain.

  "Flame Spear Technique First Form, Blazing Wildfire!"

  Ouch!

  A scarlet giant cannon pierced the air, emitting a low hum, two pale waves of energy spreading out in its wake. This single shot was extremely astonishing, almost instantly covering all escape routes around Xiao Yi's four sides. The momentum of that volcanic eruption on top of the crimson blood made the opponent's mental willpower, which was already at an extraordinary level, take a small step back.

  His eyes flashed with a fierce light, and his body began to move forward like a wild elephant starting to run. The ground shook beneath his feet as his powerful blood energy surged through his veins. On the fourteen heavenly meridians, a warlike elephant was roaring, and in just one step, he had traversed over ten zhang of distance. He grasped the broken spear with one hand, and his body arched like a great bow, his spine vibrating like a giant dragon, emitting a crackling sound. Suddenly, his right fist shot out, releasing a sharp whistling arrow-like sound.

  This is to make the body a bow and transform fists into arrows, with even higher demands on the physical body. If not for having gone through the Hundred Herb Refining Body Soup's tempering, Xiao Yi would be unable to use such methods. Now that his physical body is even more solid, he can naturally do as he pleases.

  This punch was too fast, the latter fired first, hitting the gun body of Huo Qing, bursting out intense sparks. In an instant, Huo Qing only felt a powerful force transmitted over, his tiger's mouth numb, and his momentum stopped.

  Ah!

  The green scales of the barbaric elephant looked up at the sky and let out a long, mournful cry, fiercely crashing into the volcano above. The two powerful wills clashed, bursting forth in a dazzling display of light that obscured everyone's vision.

  The light dissipated, and Xiao Yi and Huo Qing stood facing each other from a distance of ten zhang. Both were expressionless. After a few breaths, Huo Qing let out a cold snort, turned around, and left. Chi Xue's heart sank, but he didn't say a word and followed after him.

  The stone path shook in all directions, and some of the Bloodstone Clan members were shocked. Although it was only a brief exchange of blows, both Huo Qing and Xiao Yi had demonstrated their formidable strength. What's more, they were even more impressed that in such a short period of time, Xiao Yi had grown to this extent, and his second-level aura had already been fully condensed. Just as the two had clashed, although it was unclear who would win or lose, on the surface, the two seemed evenly matched. This alone was enough to illustrate Xiao Yi's strength, and he might even be able to occupy a place among the many strong Wuling-class warriors in the current tribe.

  The crowd gradually dispersed, Xiao Yi's face turned slightly pale, but quickly returned to calm. Just one move between them, the opponent's spiritual will rushed into his spiritual world, causing a shock to his spiritual will. However, he immediately meditated on the barbarian elephant diagram and used the barbarian elephant spirit to suppress it. The opponent's spiritual will was indeed not inferior to his.

  "Let's go."

  Xiao Yi swept a glance at Shi Lei and the seven people, his heart slightly sinking. Without needing to be said, he also knew what had happened. Life was too cruel, in the blink of an eye, the three young lives were gone. In this world, every moment was a struggle for survival, whether it was in the desolate ancient forest, among the hundred great tribes, or in the tribal wars. Only by constantly strengthening oneself could one protect themselves in the endless slaughter.

  The bright moon is high in the sky at the top of the mountain behind.

  The green stone elephant bathed in moonlight, appearing even more majestic. However, in Xiao Yi's eyes, the primitive elephant charm hidden within this green stone elephant had become somewhat shallow. Ever since he gazed at the primitive elephant diagram in the bronze cauldron and summoned the primitive elephant spirit to descend, Xiao Yi's understanding of the Primitive Elephant Great Power Technique had further deepened, already showing a tendency to directly reach the divine marrow. He also saw that Shi Lei's spiritual will had broken through. Although this green stone elephant contained his primitive elephant momentum, it was only the first layer and did not compare to his own true self. If the two were to face each other simultaneously, there would no longer be much room for mutual sharpening.

  Wow!

  The next moment, Xiao Yi moved. His body followed the movement of his spear, and the momentum of the barbaric elephant condensed as he began to carve the green stone elephant once again. At the same time, he visualized the image of the barbaric elephant in his mind, stirring up its spirit. Over these past few days, he had gradually grasped that kind of charm, and could easily summon the arrival of the barbaric elephant's spirit.

  Buzz!

  This is a vast and mighty spiritual will, taking shape in the ever-changing spiritual world, standing tall and observing this gigantic elephant spirit. Xiao Yi only felt that every inch of his own spiritual will was stirred up, and his marksmanship also emitted a kind of inexplicable rhythm.

  Shi Lei and the seven others did not retreat, this aura was too strong, was this the second stage of power? It far exceeded their imagination, they were making progress, but Xiao Yi was faster than them.

  After spending half a time, Xiao Yi put away his gun and stood up. In front of him, the green stone elephant was smaller than before by about one circle, but the wild elephant's aura it emitted was stronger than before by several times. This contained Xiao Yi's second layer of wild elephant momentum, although not as good as his own, it was also not trivial. Moreover, at this time, the green stone elephant was more agile than before, and different people released different wild elephant momentum.

  Bloodstone Tribe

  Hu Qing and Chi Xue walked into a white stone house with icy gazes.

  At this time, the originally calm Huo Qing's expression suddenly changed, his face turned pale as paper, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and his eyes were gloomy like water.

  "Huo Qing, you!" Chi Xue said in a low, stern voice.

  His eyes gleamed with a sharp light, and Huo Qing said: "What a formidable aura! This person's mental strength is not inferior to mine. However, his aura is somewhat unusual. Although the second layer of his aura is still virtual, it is also another manifestation of spiritual power. But this person's aura is different, seemingly fearless of swords, guns, water, and fire. It appears that his cultivation method is also extraordinary, possibly a top-notch second-rate martial art, or even an almost first-rate martial art."

  "What!" Chi Xue's heart skipped a beat, his eyes revealing a look of surprise and uncertainty, "Could it be that even you, Huo Qing, are not his match?"

  Shaking his head, Huo Qing coldly smiled and said: "I've been injured, he won't be doing well either. Presumably now, his spirit and will have been shaken, and he's also suffering greatly. Moreover, today my Flame Gun technique hasn't been used to its full extent, I only displayed the first style. Next time we meet, I'll definitely make him suffer a bit more. Among the younger generation of the Blood Stone tribe, there are only four people who can truly make me take them seriously: Ta Bao Feng and the others. As for the rest, they're not even worth mentioning!"

  Inside the soldier's mound.

  In front of three new graves, Xiao Yi stood silently, the new earth without ashes, nothing was left behind, just three empty graves.

  He came again to the place where Shi Gong was buried, the purple mist arrow still stood upright, he sat down in a meditative position, not practicing, just sitting quietly, until the next day.

  He slowly opened his eyes, and a killing intent emerged in Xiao Yi's eyes. He knew that the black shadow was mostly in the Wind Tooth tribe now. However, compared to the Xian Mai Da Yuan Man, his current cultivation and combat power were vastly different. Even if he were to activate the Stone Mirror again and summon the future self of Da Yuan Man, the other party might still have a way to protect himself. Therefore, what he needed to do now was to prepare for the War Master Competition in a month's time, so as to obtain enough precious stones to replenish the massive consumption of the Barbarian Elephant Great Technique, and rapidly increase his cultivation.

  After a moment of contemplation, Xiao Yi regained control over himself. His cultivation had reached the peak of the 14th Heavenly Vein by now. Within this month, he might be able to make further progress. As for his spiritual willpower, it had reached the higher level of the Ordinary Realm. To want to raise it any further would not be something that could be accomplished overnight, unless a fortuitous encounter were to occur; what was needed was the grinding work of water polishing stone.

  At this time, in Xiao Yi's mind, three gun techniques emerged. These three gun techniques were recorded in the "Barbarian Elephant Great Power Secret", and were the first three techniques of the Barbarian Elephant Gun Technique. Previously, because Xiao Yi's cultivation was insufficient and had not reached the twelve heavenly vein cultivation, he could not practice it. If he forced himself to cultivate, it would be futile and might even suffer from the backlash of the gun technique. Now, however, there were no such worries.

  The three forms of the Barbarian Elephant Gun Method are: the first form is called the Barbarian Elephant Flips Over, the second form is called the Barbarian Elephant Fetches Water, and the third form is called the Barbarian Elephant Crashes into the Mountain. The three gun methods all follow a strong and fierce path. Each gun method must be coordinated with the momentum of the barbarian elephant. If one does not grasp the divine charm of the barbarian elephant to a certain extent, even if their skills are proficient, they will not be able to exert their power.

  Xiao Yi had some expectations, the gun technique that required twelve heavenly veins to comprehend, even in the entire Bloodstone Tribe, only some Wu Chang-level strongmen had the qualifications to cultivate. Everyone please click and increase some membership points.)
