Chapter 42: Chapter 42, Fierce Battle (Please Recommend, Please Favorite)

The highest-cultivated Zhang Hu and Hou Long had already sensed something was off, but it was too late.

A phantom flashed by, and cold, sharp sword shadows connected into a single streak.

Swish swish swish.....

The four men clutched their throats and fell to the ground, their eyes filled with disbelief.

They never would have thought they’d be killed in their own lair.

Nor did they expect that the intruder’s body technique was so fast, able to sever their throats in an instant.

"That was quite thrilling."

Unless absolutely necessary, Chu Ming didn’t want to alert the enemy.

He could sever the throats of the four men in an instant mainly because he had the advantage of surprise.

In a normal fight, he could sever the throats of two bandit leaders instantly, but not Zhang Hu and Hou Long. After all, they were Yellow Level Transcendence Realm martial artists of the seventh layer. In a direct confrontation, he could kill one with a single move, but not both.

Chu Ming glanced at the treasures on the table, quickly sweeping them into his storage ring, and cut off Zhang Hu and Hou Long’s heads. As for the women who were accompanying the men, they had already fainted in terror.

After doing all this, Chu Ming’s figure flickered, and he darted out of the cave.

The grand hall of the grotto was resplendent and magnificent, with eight entrances, each guarded by two bandits!

Bam! Bam!

Two completely shattered bodies flew into the grand hall, alarming the Great Village Chief of the Black Cloud Fort and the tattooed man.

"Who’s there?"

The Great Village Chief of Black Cloud Fort’s face was grim.

Since its establishment, this was the first time the Black Cloud Fort had been so invaded into its own lair, causing him great embarrassment.

Sitting in the stone chair, the tattooed man’s hand still caressed the bare body beside him, saying indifferently: "Great Village Chief, it seems your lair isn’t that safe either!"

The Great Village Chief of Black Cloud Fort responded coldly: "Don’t worry, Blood Brother, it’s just a kid. I’ll handle it quickly!"

Saying this, he pushed away the woman on his lap, stood up tall, and stared coldly at the entrance where the two shattered bodies had fallen.

Step, step, step!

Footsteps sounded as a gray-clad youth walked in.

"You must be the Great Village Chief of the Black Cloud Fort?"

Chu Ming examined the gaunt-faced Great Village Chief of Black Cloud Fort with a calm expression. The Great Village Chief’s cultivation was at the ordinary Eighth Layer of the Transcendence Realm, the highest level of cultivation Chu Ming had encountered, indicating this was a formidable enemy. Observing his rough hands, Chu Ming guessed that the Great Village Chief likely practiced palm techniques.

As Chu Ming scrutinized the Great Village Chief of Black Cloud Fort, the Great Village Chief was also appraising Chu Ming.

Chu Ming stood about 1.8 meters tall, with a physique as straight as a spear, standing there with an immovable aura like a mountain.

Master!

Instinctively, the Great Village Chief of Black Cloud Fort knew that Chu Ming was a master.

"Kid, what crime do you think deserves for intruding into my Black Cloud Fort!" The Great Village Chief of Black Cloud Fort asked sternly.

"Great Village Chief, what crime deserves for causing chaos in Blue Snow City!"

Chu Ming counter-questioned the Great Village Chief.

"Kid, you’re courting death!" The Great Village Chief’s eyes flashed with killing intent.

Ignoring the killing intent from the Great Village Chief, Chu Ming turned his head to look at the tattooed man who had been silent this whole time.

In his eyes, the tattooed man with a cultivation of the Seventh Layer of the Transcendence Realm had an aura more terrifying than the Great Village Chief of Black Cloud Fort’s, like a venomous snake ready to strike at any moment.

"Courting death!"

Enraged by being ignored, the Great Village Chief of Black Cloud Fort immediately charged, his palms howling like the wind, striking towards Chu Ming with ferocity, seizing a perfect moment just when Chu Ming looked at the tattooed man, not paying attention to him.

"Yin Yang Palm!"

Gusts of fierce wind swept across his hands, rapidly converging into black and white whirlwinds, closing in on Chu Ming. The pond ahead was stirred into waves.

Humph

Even though Chu Ming did not focus his attention on the Great Village Chief of Black Cloud Fort, he easily saw through the latter’s attack trajectory. With a light footstep, he borrowed the inertia to fly back, simultaneously drawing his Silver Light Sword. A flash of sword light cleaved sharply.

Swish swish swish....

The black and white whirlwinds scattered instantly like a deflated balloon, dissipating slowly. The Great Village Chief of Black Cloud Fort’s expression changed slightly, but without any hesitation, he adopted a dragon-snake step, with piercing palm winds continuing to press towards Chu Ming.

Chu Ming sneered, a layer of blue spiritual power enveloped his feet. His figure bounced, darting across to the pond.

The Great Village Chief of Black Cloud Fort also stomped on the ground violently, leaping to the pond in a manner akin to a roc spreading its wings.

The two moved like water striders, freely maneuvering on the pond.

"Mountain-Opening Palm!"

On the pond, the Great Village Chief of Black Cloud Fort stamped on the water surface, turning into a phantom hidden by sparkling splashes. The palm wind roared like thunder, carrying the force of mountain-splitting. Water droplets splattered, blurring the vision.

Chu Ming’s figure blurred suddenly. On the water, it seemed as though a condensed gust swept through rapidly, the Great Village Chief of Black Cloud Fort’s palm seals couldn’t even graze Chu Ming.

Waves surged on the water’s surface as Chu Ming flashed quickly around the Great Village Chief, his movement trajectory unpredictable, causing the latter to attack like a headless fly.

Sneaking up behind the Great Village Chief, Chu Ming struck with his sword, seemingly thousands of water droplets raced along the blade. Droplets flew from the water surface, erupting in the air, shooting towards the Great Village Chief.

"Drip Water Pierces Stone!"

The crystalline droplets carried deadly intent; Drip Water Pierces Stone was a lethal move from the Drip Water Swordsmanship, one of the thirty-six top-tier Yellow Level Sword Techniques Chu Ming had arduously practiced in a month. Executed on water, its power multiplied significantly, fast as lightning. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

In the critical moment, the Great Village Chief whirled around, his iron-clad palms sealing Chu Ming’s Drip Water Pierces Stone.

Swish swish swish.....

Countless faint sounds erupted, the water surface bursting with splashes, the violent droplets extinguished instantly. The Great Village Chief retreated rapidly, water reaching his calves.

Chu Ming stepped back seven or eight paces, effortlessly balancing.

Just as the Great Village Chief thought himself safe, Chu Ming’s figure split into four, sweeping through the water waves from four different directions, encircling him completely. The swordsmanship changed abruptly, wielding the longsword in his left hand, right hand’s two fingers traced the blade.

Whoosh!

As Chu Ming’s fingers slid along the blade, a sharp blue starlight with lethal intent shot out, attacking the Great Village Chief fiercely, soon followed by a second and third...

Bang bang bang bang bang!

Like a firework display, the Great Village Chief’s figure was entirely engulfed, but amidst it resounded the whistling palm seals, indicating he was still resisting. This was the Star-breaking Swordsmanship, one of the thirty-six top-tier Yellow Level Sword Techniques.

All thirty-six top-tier Yellow Level Sword Techniques had been cultivated by Chu Ming to the level of Mastery. Each use was as effortless as plucking a flower, causing the Great Village Chief to struggle against it miserably.

This was due to Chu Ming having the mysterious light piece, his comprehension ability freakishly high. For ordinary martial artists, reaching the level of Mastery in one top-tier Yellow Level Sword Technique would take at least two years. Cultivating so many top-tier martial techniques would require even more time.

Moreover, for ordinary martial artists, even if they cultivated numerous sword techniques, it actually wouldn’t significantly increase their strength, merely wasting time. The time would be better spent on actual cultivation to increase strength faster.

Swish swish swish.....

Three sword lights broke through the Great Village Chief’s defense in an instant, striking his chest directly, piercing three bloody holes. Such injuries were not enough to kill him, but the spiritual power circulation was hindered, causing his body to shake, falling into the pond, becoming a drenched chicken.

Whoosh!

Chu Ming wouldn’t let go of such a great opportunity. His fingers swiftly slid along the sword, pointing directly at the Great Village Chief’s head. The blue light shot out, breaking through the layers of water waves, about to kill the Great Village Chief with one strike.

At this moment, the tattooed man stepped in.
