47: Chapter 47 Seventh Order Golden Serpent King

Leaving early and returning late!

Hun Tiandi, his body stained with blood, fed a drop of his vital blood to the ten thousand soul banner before leaving the cave to bitter cultivation in the mountain range.

He borrowed the power of magical beasts to temper himself.

With the qingfeng sword in hand and Dou Qi flowing wildly, his Basic Sword Art, which had reached the minor success stage, was constantly transforming amidst life-and-death slaughter.

Hun Tiandi found a valley and excavated a pool nine zhang nine feet wide, cleaning it out thoroughly.

"Soul-Attracting Incense!"

He flipped his hand to retrieve a blood-colored stick of incense. This was Soul-Attracting Incense, refined from the blood of a hundred different magical beasts mixed with medicinal herbs; it was perfectly suited for attracting magical beasts.

He inserted it into a bluestone, ignited the Soul-Attracting Incense, and with a sweep of his large sleeve, a gust of wind swept out, causing the scent to diffuse outward.

Awoo... Squeak... Suddenly, the roars of magical beasts echoed from outside the valley. At that moment, the earth seemed to tremble as Flying Rats and Sky Pigs approached, following the scent of the Soul-Attracting Incense.

He stirred his Dou Qi to run at full power, his qingfeng sword vibrating in his hand as he charged into the pack of magical beasts to slaughter them.

As the sword blade pierced into their bodies, the blood of the magical beasts sprayed out. Before long, the ground was dyed red with blood, flowing together like a stream into the blood pool.

In an instant, dozens of Flying Rats and Sky Pigs were forcefully slaughtered.

The valley was filled with killing intent, baleful aura, and ferocity.

However, these magical beasts had low intelligence. If they were high-rank magical beasts, Hun Tiandi, with his strength as an eight-star Dou Practitioner, would absolutely not take such a risk.

Amidst the frenzied slaughter, Hun Tiandi's sword art was also undergoing a transformation, its edge becoming sharper.

The sword art had reached major success!

The magical beast flesh scattered across the ground emitted waves of thick, bloody stench.

After his Dou Qi was exhausted, he flipped his hand to take out an energy recovery pill, restoring the abundant Dou Qi within his body, constantly cycling between depletion and fullness.

The strength he had gained from breaking through to an eight-star Dou Practitioner also became completely stabilized.

Hun Tiandi swept his large sleeve, and a gust of wind blew through the valley, carrying the thick scent of blood with his Dou Qi, sending it outside the valley and causing it to spread continuously.

Low-rank magical beasts were like wild beasts; slaughter was a common occurrence for them.

They were extremely sensitive to the smell of blood, and combined with the Soul-Attracting Incense, as long as they smelled it, it would definitely attract a large number of magical beasts.

Hun Tiandi wanted to forge a blood pool within forty-nine days to refine that demonic weapon.

After finishing this, he immediately hid, concealing his aura until he was like a bluestone; unless one searched carefully, it was difficult to detect him.

"Grandfather, do you suspect the youhai storage ring is on that youth in the green shirt..."

In the distant Tianbei City, a group of people had arrived. Elder Li of the Starfall Pavilion, accompanied by Li Huaner and a Blue-robed Youth, had come under the orders of the Pavilion Master.

They were out searching for the youhai storage ring lost by the Young Pavilion Master, who had perished in the Tianmu Mountain Range.

On that day, reinforcements had arrived to annihilate the mercenaries in the Tianmu Mountain Range, but they had not found the youhai storage ring.

"That should be correct. After all, the only living person in the Tianmu Mountain Range was that youth in the green shirt. Even if he didn't use bloody means to take revenge on his enemies, we must not let him go."

Elder Li sighed, "Playing with eagles all day, only to be pecked in the eye by one."

The young girl beside him, Li Huaner, recalled in her heart, "A flash of deep blue—could that have been the youhai storage ring?"

In the valley where the youth in the green shirt had attacked to seize the huitian spirit fruit, she had seen a flash of deep blue on his finger when he was picking the spirit fruit.

It was too fast, and she hadn't seen it clearly.

Now it seemed that it must have been the youhai storage ring, and in all likelihood, the Young Pavilion Master had also been killed by him.

Far away in the deep mountains, Hun Tiandi, who was frantically slaughtering, did not know that trouble had finally come knocking.

Awoo... Low-rank magical beasts smelled the blood. They were extremely sensitive to bloody slaughter, and the thick scent of blood stimulated them even more.

Coupled with the scent of the Soul-Attracting Incense, the arrangements Hun Tiandi had made were extremely effective.

Relying on their instincts, they became excited by the smell of blood in the air, their eyes turning red.

Arriving outside the valley and looking at the flesh and blood within, they charged in without a second thought, and the hidden Hun Tiandi immediately struck.

Dou Qi surged, condensing into sword Qi that he slashed out into the air. Weaving through the pack of magical beasts, his Three Thousand Lightning Movement technique, combined with his sword art, transformed him into a streak of cyan lightning, fast as the wind and swift as thunder.

Gathering sword Qi... batch after batch.

The frenzied slaughter, bathing in the blood of magical beasts, tempered his sword edge, pushing his sword Qi toward the major success stage.

After all, they were low-rank magical beasts whose strength was not too formidable, and they were trapped in the valley, being slaughtered frantically.

Time passed. The third day... the sixth day... the tenth day...

During these ten days, he still fed a drop of his vital blood to the ten thousand soul banner every day; apart from that, Hun Tiandi continued to slaughter magical beasts daily.

Under Hun Tiandi's swordsmanship, the low-rank magical beasts were killed with every strike; one sword pierced the magical beast's heart, another pierced between the eyebrows, and another severed its limbs...

The number of magical beasts slaughtered in the valley was nearly three thousand. Their blood poured in, filling nearly one-third of the nine zhang nine feet pool.

Baleful aura swirled around his body, making him look cold and heartless, his eyes as sharp as swords.

At this moment, Hun Tiandi's green shirt was stained with the blood of magical beasts, turning into a blood-soaked garment. Of course, being in the midst of the pack of magical beasts, Hun Tiandi had also suffered significant injuries.

"Arms, chest, back... all covered in claw marks from the beasts, walking through blood..."

His whole body was like blood, extremely jarring!

Blood... it was all blood!

The crimson blood had dyed his green shirt red, and his entire person appeared blood-red, rippling like water.

His long hair had been dyed into blood-red hair, and blood dripped down from the strands.

The qingfeng sword in his hand dripped with fresh blood, its sharp blade covered in notches. With a crisp "crack" sound, it broke into five or six pieces and fell to the ground.

The blood on his body could no longer be distinguished as his own or that of the magical beasts.

His head of blood-red hair stirred without wind, emitting an aura like blood, his eyes cold and indifferent, surrounded by a fierce and baleful aura.

"Take this punch!"

He gave a cold snort in his heart, clenched his fists, and rose with a Half-Step Crushing Fist. Each punch contained hidden force, striking the magical beasts.

The beast skins were rough and thick, difficult to pierce without a sharp sword, but the Half-Step Crushing Fist contained hidden force that invaded their bodies, shattering their hearts and bones.

"Triple Force... Quadruple Force... Quintuple Force..."

Each punch contained triple hidden force; any low-rank magical beast that came within three zhang of him would either die or be injured.

Having experienced the tempering of blood and fire, Hun Tiandi bathed in blood, and the several Dou Techniques he practiced were all transforming, showing great progress.

First was Hun Tiandi's first Dou Technique: Half-Step Crushing Fist.

This Dou Technique was a method for close-quarters combat; it was fierce and domineering, with ruthless and ferocious punch force. It was a Xuan-rank high-level Dou Technique containing nine layers of hidden force.

Once the nine layers of hidden force were stacked, it was comparable to a Di-rank Dou Technique; if it grazed a bone, it would cause injury, and if it touched a meridian, it would snap it.

The hidden force was formless and intangible, like sharp, thin needles.

Next was the movement Dou Technique: Three Thousand Lightning Movement.

Three Thousand Lightning Movement was divided into three layers: the first layer, Thunder Flash; the second layer, Lightning Flash; and the third layer, Three Thousand Lightning.

Hun Tiandi's Three Thousand Lightning Movement was still at the first layer, Thunder Flash, but today, after more than ten days of tempering, he could be considered to have fully mastered it.

Between life and death, his greatest potential was stimulated.

He wove freely through the crowd of hundreds of magical beasts, silver light flashing beneath his feet as his figure burst forth, combined with the fierce power of the Half-Step Crushing Fist.

He was completely in the zone of slaughter!

The greatest improvement, however, was in his Basic Sword Art; every sword strike was according to his will, and every strike was executed with ease...

The sword art had reached perfection!

That's right, with his Basic Sword Art cultivated to the Perfection stage, he could finally begin cultivating the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion's sect-protecting ultimate technique.

Ten Thousand Sword Art!

Hun Tiandi was very covetous of this Di-rank high-level cultivation Dou Technique; once learned, the flaw of lacking long-range attacks would be remedied.
