Chapter 41: Encounter in Battle, Breaking Blade of a Thousand Edges

  "Let's go find something to eat first, I've already entered the Xuan Shi realm, I won't starve to death...” Xu Yang stroked the fluffy fur on the shoulder of the little ball, this little guy was warm and chubby, and had a great texture.

  Pushing open the stone door, Xu Yang's hand covered his eyes, blocking out some of the dazzling sunlight. The winter sun wasn't very strong at this time of year, but since Xu Yang hadn't left his cave for three days, he was a bit unaccustomed to it all of a sudden.

  "Looking at the sky, it's just past noon... I hope to encounter some wild beasts." Xǔ Yáng walked towards the road back home, scanning his surroundings as he went.

  A slightly cold wind blew by, and the branches of the trees in the distance and the shrubs nearby were blown, making a rustling sound.

  Xu Yang keenly sensed that a nearby clump of shrubs, unlike the other shrub clusters, was not blown askew but stood still. This abnormal phenomenon caught his attention.

  Xu Yang slowed down his pace, within ten meters of the shrubbery, suddenly burst out, a few steps rushed to the position of the shrubbery, and slapped it with one palm.

  This palm contained a strong fire element, and before it even landed, the withered leaves of the shrubs had a scorched smell.

  "Boom!" Xǔ Yáng slapped his palm down, and the shrubbery was instantly turned into a ball of flames. The withered branches and leaves were reduced to scattered ashes after being burned to a crisp. A large raccoon dog suddenly darted out.

  The goat was about three feet long, with a tawny yellow coat, its back already on fire, and it leapt and bounded away in desperation. Xu Yang of course wouldn't let it go, rushing forward several steps to punch the goat squarely on the forehead, whereupon its skull immediately shattered into several pieces, with white brains splattering everywhere.

  "No, I didn't control the strength well." Xǔ Yáng wiped his sweat, and the fat ball on his shoulder also grumbled, seemingly dissatisfied with Xǔ Yáng's wasteful behavior.

  No choice, the strength from the fifty jin before the closed door, surged to the current two hundred jin, a full four times increase. If it weren't for Xu Yang practicing "Dynamic and Static as One with Qigong" after each condensation of the Xuan wheel, he would have gotten used to the sudden increase in physical strength, otherwise, even walking would be a problem now.

  No matter what, this forty-catty raccoon dog was enough for Xuyang and Fei Qiu to have a big meal.

  Xu Yang broke off some branches, collected some dry leaves, and shot out a strand of Huo Xuan's power to ignite a bonfire. He tore the rabbit into several pieces, threaded them onto a thicker branch, and roasted them over the fire.

  The fat ball ran around Xu Yang, its buttocks constantly twisting, as if expressing its impatience.

  Before long, a piece of rabbit meat was already roasted to perfection, with oil slightly overflowing and emitting a nose-twitching aroma. Xuyang brought the rabbit meat to his mouth, lowered his head to see the fat ball, couldn't help but smile, tore off a piece of meat and threw it at it, one person and one beast immediately began to devour it with gusto.

  Although there were no seasonings, the hunger still made Xu Yang feel that this barbecue was a great delicacy.

  "After eating enough, it's time to go back. This trip has been close to ten days, and Xiaoyu and the others must be worried." Xuyang silently calculated, then bit off a large piece of rabbit leg meat and chewed on it.

  Not far away, three Xuan Shi of Qimen Daochang were still searching hard.

  "Huo Lao Da, there's a thick smoke over there, it seems like someone is there!" the thin and tall scholar exclaimed excitedly in a low voice.

  Huo Lao Da also became excited, with a wave of his hand, the three quickly climbed up.

  On a slope of earth sheltered by several large trees, three Taoist priests were stealthily observing the scene below.

  Seeing Xu Yang and a strange unknown pet devouring the roasted meat, all three Xuan Shi felt their mouths watering, and an unbalanced feeling arose in their hearts.

  "Grandma's, I'm freezing and starving here, while this little rabbit is living the high life," the tall, thin scholar cursed, "Brother Huo, let's go!"

  Huo Lao Da observed the surroundings, didn't find any traps, and nodded to instruct: "Monkey go left, Tiger Head go right, don't let him escape."

  The lean and tall "monkey" smiled slyly, revealing his yellow teeth: "Don't worry, Old Huo, a mere Xuantu won't escape our grasp."

  Just as the three were about to take action, they saw Xu Yang suddenly stand up, his sharp eyes scanning over them, like two cold stars.

  Right after that, a clear voice sounded.

  "You mice who hide your heads and show your tails, why don't you come out?"

  Xu Yang's current hearing and vision are extremely sharp, even the mysterious master may not be able to escape his detection, let alone three mysterious scholars? Although he was eating meat, the rustling sounds coming from the nearby slope still triggered his vigilance.

  Xu Yang originally thought the other party was a passerby and didn't pay attention, but unexpectedly the three people actually wanted to surround him. This obvious provocation showed that the three were not passersby at all, but had come specifically for Xu Yang!

  Xu Yang's loud shout broke the silence, and the three Xuan Shi were all startled, exchanging a glance with each other.

  "Grandma's, this little rabbit is indeed very strange," said the tall and thin mystic, "However, he is just a mystic apprentice after all. No matter how cunning he is, he is not our match. Let's go straight for it, kill him and complete the mission!"

  Seeing the three people who suddenly stood up in the grass thicket on the opposite slope, a thread of disdain at the corner of Xu Yang's mouth suddenly enlarged.

  Three Xuan Masters, when he first arrived in this era, were an insurmountable high mountain, but now, Xu Yang has condensed the Eight Poles Xuan Wheel, his physical strength reaching 200 jin, to him, the three Xuan Masters are just lambs waiting to be slaughtered!

  Since Xu Yang didn't run away, Huo Lao Da also calmed down and led the other two Xuan Shi to walk in front of Xu Yang with a swagger.

  "Have you broken through?" Old Huo sensed the faintly surging aura of Xuanli around Xu Yang, his pupils shrinking.

  "No wonder you're so fearless, it turns out you've also reached the Xuan Shi realm," said the tall and thin "monkey" with a cold laugh. "You newly promoted little guy, you're too arrogant! The three of us are all late-stage Xuan Shi, you're just entering the Xuan Shi realm! If you escape immediately, there's still some hope for survival, but if you confront us head-on, you'll absolutely lose!"

  "Are you from Qimen Daochang?" Xuyang asked coldly.

  "That's right!" The tall and thin Xuan Shi said with a smug face, "You shouldn't have offended the Qi Men, today is your day of death!"

  "Monkey, you talk too much," said Huo Lao Da. "Hurry up and get rid of him, or else things will change."

  The slender and tall Xuan Shi responded with a sound, his feet surged with a faint cyan Xuan force, and he himself became somewhat ethereal, quickly rushing towards Xu Yang.

  "It turned out to be Feng Jixuan." Xu Yang stood firmly with his feet shoulder-width apart.

  "Little one, accept your death!" A burst of cyan wind, extremely mysterious and powerful, suddenly exploded from the thin monkey's palm, producing a piercing whistling sound. The mysterious power transformed into a massive wind pillar, ten feet in diameter, sweeping towards Xu Yang.

  The Xuan Shi known as "Tiger Head" said to Old Huo with a hint of envy, "Huo Big Brother, the Monkey's 'Breaking Blade Thousand Whirlwinds' is getting more and more terrifying."

  Lao Hu's face didn't show any relaxation, and he immediately used his strongest killing move. It was clear that the monkey in his heart couldn't fathom this strange enemy either, and his heart was tense.

  A pale blue column of air swept through the withered branches and leaves, its momentum vast. After advancing halfway, it suddenly transformed into countless thin wind blades, cutting through the air with a piercing whine, shooting towards Xu Yang.

  P.S: Today I was classified as a strong push, Xiaoya is very happy, support Xiaoya, thank you everyone!
