Then, to cross the mountainous region and move towards the Inner Domain.
As a descendant of the Blood Spirit Child, he also has the potential to seek vengeance for him.
However, this kid is terribly hateful. After killing a person, he actually went as far as grinding the bones and scattering the ashes!
He’s even more vicious than before!
Even after cleaving a person in half and ensuring they were thoroughly dead, he was still unsatisfied!
Meng Chong, however, left no opportunity for him. His eyes shimmered with chilling light as his heart quaked tirelessly, once again realizing the preciousness of the martial arts experience passed on by his master.
If it had been anyone else, they might have assumed their opponent was thoroughly dead and turned to leave.
“Die!”
Fearing the opponent would use some strange tactic, Meng Chong’s blade flashed and his dominating blade intent suppressed everything. With a ‘puff’ sound, the bug was completely crushed.
“No…”
A weak and unwilling wail rang out, only to abruptly disappear.
Meng Chong still dared not be careless. His blade glowed furiously, vigorously stirring emotions covered the entire battlefield, directly crushing everything in the field of battle.
Not even a blade of grass was spared.
The remains had completely turned to ash, so much so that none could be found. Naturally, the weird bug met the same fate.
In the end, all that was left were a few stalks of silvery-white grass!
Meng Chong, panting heavily, cautiously approached, picked it up with the tip of his blade for careful examination. Only after confirming that there were no issues did he tear off his tattered clothes and wrap the silvery-white grass with them.
Despite that, he did not carry it with him, instead choosing to prop it with his blade.
After the Blood Spirit Child ordeal, Meng Chong had become even more cautious. He glanced at the capital of Wu Country, choosing not to venture forth. What if there were still powerful enemies lurking within?
He glanced at the jagged blade left behind by the Blood Spirit Child, reaching out and grasping it in his hand.
Now that he had the soul of the blade within him, no state of any blade could escape his perception. This blade did not have any problems.
He had confidence in this.
“What a great blade!”
The jagged blade seemed extraordinary. Perhaps due to its long years without being nourished, it appeared somewhat dim. Otherwise, this blade would have been even stronger than the treasured blade in his hand.
“Should go back, and consult Master!”
Meng Chong didn’t linger and quickly returned, not even having time to tend to his injuries.
“Victory!”
“Meng Chong has killed the devil!”
“Hahaha, you took us for prey, now are you dead?”
Atop the city gate of the Wu Country capital, the Emperor of Wu and his ministers were ecstatic.
Meng Chong had won.
On the other hand, the Emperor of Wu instantly grew anxious.
Meng Chong clearly suffered serious injuries in this fight and had left immediately. He might be suspicious that this affair had something to do with him.
If, after healing, Meng Chong were to come back once more for revenge, then what was to be done?
“My beloved officials, what do you think is the best way to explain this to Meng Chong?”
The Emperor of Wu fretfully asked.
The court fell quiet. The ministers glanced at each other, silently distancing themselves from the Emperor of Wu and pondering how to wriggle out of the matter.
“Your Majesty, you can rest assured. Meng Chong isn’t the type to kill indiscriminately.”
“Yes, yes, if need be just give him a good explanation.”
The ministers awkwardly reassured.
If the Emperor of Wu were to be killed by Meng Chong in a fit of rage, then Wu Country could simply find a new Emperor. The order to find Meng Chong was issued by the Emperor of Wu after ail.
They did not want to be implicated in it.
The Emperor of Wu, maintaining a stern face, stormed off.
Li Xuan learned from Shi’er that Meng Chong went to the Wu Country capital to deal with the emperor’s strong enemy, but he wasn’t concerned.
With Meng Chong’s strength, even if he were to meet a general Grandmaster Martial Artist, he didn’t have to worry.
Sitting in his chair, Li Xuan continued studying the ancient scrolls. After a long period of studying the first page, he seemed to have a vague understanding.
But he was still unable to fully comprehend the mystery within.
“Because of a low level!”
Li Xuan confirmed that the reason he couldn’t comprehend the ancient scroll was owing to his low level. He had not yet reached the realm of martial arts needed to grasp the scroll’s knowledge.
Su Lingxiu was practicing alchemy again.
This time, she was refining materials Shi’er had sent for a Qi and Blood Pill.
With her proficient skills in refining Qi and Blood Pills, Su Lingxiu’s alchemical skills had seen great advancement.
Her comprehension of the Dan Doctor’s Treasure Book was getting deeper, allowing for new insights. Su Lingxiu felt that she might grasp the higher realms of alchemy mentioned in the Dan Doctor’s Treasure Book soon.
“Once this girl Lingxiu enters the world of martial arts, she can use her Qi and blood as alchemical fire, refining pills with her bare hands and further enhancing her alchemical skills.”
Li Xuan was filled with anticipation.
According to his theory, refining alchemy with bare hands is real alchemy, which goes beyond basic alchemy skills.
Although he is highly-skilled and has mastered basic alchemy, he does not know how to perform alchemy with bare hands.
Basic alchemy requires the use of an Alchemy Furnace.
Li Xuan plays with the Jade Ruyi in one hand and studies an ancient book in the other when suddenly a golden light emerges.
“Your disciple, Meng Chong, drew his sword amidst a life and death crisis and woke up his weapon spirit. You have mastered your weapon spirit.”
“Your disciple, Meng Chong, awakened the spirit of his sword amidst a life and death crisis and comprehended absolute dominance. You have reached completeness in your dominance!”
Li Xuan suddenly stood up.
Was Meng Chong in a life or death situation?
Where would a life and death crisis come from in Wu Country?
A normal martial artist of the Inner Domain is unable to pose a life and death threat to Meng Chong. How could a mere Wu Country pose a threat to him?
He could not sit still.
If anything happened to his second disciple, who would practice his bodily martial arts?
Where would he find a disciple who was on par with Meng Chong and had an exceptional talent for physical martial arts?
Besides, isn’t there a bond formed between the master and the disciple after spending so much time together?
Fear and anger surged in Li Xuan’s heart, as he worried about Meng Chong’s safety. He disappeared in an instant, using his Divine Lightning Transcendence technique to its limit, heading straight to Wu Country’s capital.
The capital of Wu Country is far from Yunshan County. Even with his power, using Divine Lightning Transcendence at full speed, it would still take him a significant amount of time to get there.
“I hope that after awakening his sword spirit, Meng Chong will be able to hold on!”
A cold glint flashed in Li Xuan’s eyes.
He could see a dot in the distance, it was Wu Country’s Capital!
Suddenly, Li Xuan froze in his tracks.
He saw Meng Chong, who was covered in scars and wounds; one of them on his chest was particularly deep. Though the bleeding was stopped by his remarkable regenerative capacity, one could still see the fresh red flesh of the wound.
It was evident that Meng Chong had gone through a fierce battle.
Li Xuan was shocked. Meng Chong had practiced the Great Sun Golden Bell Shield, and he had a strong defense and robust physique. Yet, he had suffered such severe injuries.
What relieved him was that although Meng Chong looked battered and full of scars, it did not seem to be a severe injury.
He looked over to find that there were no enemies chasing after Meng Chong.
“Did he kill them all?”
Li Xuan hesitated, but instead of going down to meet Meng Chong, he continued on.
Soon, he arrived at the scene of the battle, outside the capital of Wu Country.
There was absolutely nothing left at the scene of the battle, but one could faintly detect the traces of intense energy and pressure left by the sword.
A twitch came to the corner of Li Xuan’s mouth. The enemy had been utterly destroyed by Meng Chong!
“Where did such a powerful martial artist come from?”
Meng Chong was heading back now, apparently on his way back to Yunshan County
It seems he returned directly after killing the enemy and finishing the battle, without entering the capital city of Wu Country.
Li Xuan moved, hanging in midair, and began to investigate all around.
He entered Wu Country’s capital; he entered the Wu Country’s royal palace and thoroughly investigated everything.
His eyebrows creased slightly; there was no trace of any martial artist.
Could it just have been one martial artist?
Who was already killed by Meng Chong!
He extended the search range, examining Wu Country’s capital, the palace, everything, still finding no trace of any martial artist.
It appeared there had only been one powerful enemy.
Li Xuan did not stay in Wu Country’s capital city. He went back to Yunshan County the same way he came. On his way back, he saw Meng Chong unharmed and running back. He let out a sigh of relief.
Once back in his courtyard, he took a seat on a chair.
He fell deep in thought, wondering where the enemy Meng Chong had faced could have come from.
Could it have come from the Inner Domain?
He would only know the answers once Meng Chong returned.
ii
It seems the outskirts are not safe either. Why did such a powerful martial artist suddenly appear? Their power has already surpassed the regular grandmaster martial artist. Otherwise, Meng Chong would not have been forced to this extent.”
Li Xuan pondered with a furrowed brow.
Su Lingxiu looked curiously at her master, who had disappeared suddenly without a trace.
He just came back.
She did not ask any questions though. Her master’s matters were not things that a disciple could inquire about.
“What kind of abilities does the master have? He vanished all of a sudden, too fast for even a Great Grandmaster, right?”
Su Lingxiu sighed.
She handed over a pill furnace filled with Qi-blood pills she had prepared to Shi’er, then gleefully began to refine a new set of Qi-blood pills, this time for Zhou Ying..
