Chapter 265: The Yellow Bird
More than thirty disciples of Wufeng Mountain had joined the siege against Wang Chen!
After the Thunderstorm Valley, originally belonging to the Yunyang Sect, was seized by Wufeng Mountain, they swiftly established a base within the valley for their cultivators to practice the arts of wind and thunder.
Those permitted to enter the Thunderstorm Valley were predominantly inner sect disciples.
The weakest among them had a cultivation level of Qi Training seventh level, while the strongest had attained perfect mastery in Qi Training, and each possessed at least two or three, and up to four or five magical artifacts.
Among the disciples attacking Wang Chen, there were not only the most common magical cultivators but also sword cultivators, talisman cultivators, and tool cultivation practitioners…
The battle between the two sides initially appeared heavily skewed against Wang Chen.
However, when the fierce combat truly erupted, Wang Chen swiftly seized the upper hand from the very beginning.
The moment the Wind and Thunder Sword was unleashed, a sword cultivator who stood at the forefront was pierced through his body!
This cultivator was considered a standout among Qi Training cultivators; yet, as soon as he summoned his flying sword, he met his demise within mere breaths of time!
For he faced Wang Chen, who wielded the combined prowess of Sword Control at perfect mastery, Five Suns Thunder at perfect mastery, mastery of the Thunderbolt sword technique, and a cultivation level nearing perfect mastery in Qi Training ninth level.
The crucial factor was that Wang Chen wielded a second-tier flying sword!
Not a single disciple of Wufeng Mountain could withstand the full force of Wang Chen’s assault.
Under his command, the Wind and Thunder Sword unleashed devastating lethality.
In an instant, sword energy surged and thunder roared, its power unmatched, sending the disciples of Wufeng Mountain plummeting from the sky like falling leaves.
Above the mountains and forests, a rain of blood began to fall!
Owing to the incredible speed and ferocity of Wang Chen’s flying sword, few cultivators could close the distance enough to pose a threat to him.
A handful of fortunate Wufeng Mountain disciples managed to hurl their artifacts, talismans, and their most potent attacking spells at Wang Chen.
Yet, Wang Chen effortlessly deflected them with his shield artifact and protective armor.
The Wind and Thunder Sword swept back and forth around him, reaping lives with each pass.
His momentum only grew stronger!
Amidst this battle, Wang Chen’s mastery and understanding of the Thunderbolt sword technique deepened.
The power of the Wind and Thunder Sword became even more formidable.
As the battle raged on, the disciples of Wufeng Mountain, despite their overwhelming numerical advantage, began to falter. Watching their comrades fall one after another under the relentless assault of the flying sword, the surviving disciples were gripped with terror.
Suddenly, one Wufeng Mountain disciple turned and fled.
Others quickly followed suit!
Wang Chen’s displayed strength surpassed even that of half a Purple Palace master.
It was already a feat for them to have held out this long.
The issue was, while these Wufeng Mountain disciples sought to escape, Wang Chen had no intention of allowing them to flee!
With a resounding roar, he unleashed the full destructive power of the Wind and Thunder Sword, piercing through the bodies of two opponents in rapid succession.
As the flying sword passed through them, the sword energy within erupted in an instant, shredding their internal organs to pieces.
Not even a Purple Palace master could endure such devastation, let alone mere Qi Training cultivators.
Thus, they all perished on the spot.
【Heavenly Merit +9】
【Heavenly Merit +8】
Wang Chen ignored the notifications appearing in his vision.
He had already received the same notifications several times in a row.
He didn’t even have time to gather the spoils and swiftly launched a merciless pursuit against the fleeing disciples of Wufeng Mountain!
These disciples had completely lost their fighting spirit, becoming live targets for his flying sword.
In the end, only a few lucky ones escaped with their lives.
In truth, if Wang Chen had wanted to, he could have eliminated those remaining disciples of Wufeng Mountain.
But if they all died, who would spread the name of "Guiyuan Sect Zhao Wuji"?
As a wanted target from two sects, Wang Chen’s most desired outcome was for Wufeng Mountain and Guiyuan Sect to fight fiercely against each other!
Although the chances of the higher-ups from Wufeng Mountain and Guiyuan Sect falling into a trap were low, the two factions were indeed rivals with conflicting interests, so perhaps today’s slaughter could become the spark for a sect war.
Wang Chen eagerly awaited!
He landed on the ground and began to scavenge the spoils.
One storage bag after another, one artifact after another, effortlessly fell into Wang Chen’s hands.
At this rate, he would soon become the "Elder of a Hundred Bags"!
After finishing his search, Wang Chen was still not satisfied.
Taking advantage of the fact that all the Wufeng Mountain disciples had fled, he entered the Thunderstorm Valley.
The valley was a scene of devastation, with strong winds howling and thunder rolling; the training grounds constructed by Wufeng Mountain had been flattened, and remnants of walls and broken structures were everywhere.
Among the ruins lay the bodies of many cultivators.
Due to the unique environment of Thunderstorm Valley, these bodies and their equipment would soon be destroyed by the wind and thunder.
Wang Chen arrived just in time.
He activated the Perfected Level Spirit Light Shield, braving the rampant winds and thunder, and began to collect items from the bodies.
There were many more bodies than those Wang Chen had slain!
All these inner sect disciples of Wufeng Mountain had been killed by the Thunder Eagle.
They had fallen victim to the frenzy of a second-grade spirit bird, while their protective Purple Palace master had failed to provide adequate support, resulting in such a grim fate.
As the saying goes, "The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the yellow bird behind."
By the end of his search, Wang Chen was surprised to find he was nearly achieving the title of "Elder of a Hundred Bags"!
Since storage bags cannot be combined, he stuffed these bags into his clothes and sleeves, ultimately wrapping them up in a bundle.
It felt almost like picking up scraps!
He struck gold!
Wang Chen didn’t have time to check the contents of these storage bags, wondering how many spirit stones, artifacts, talismans, and elixirs they contained…
But one thing was certain—he had struck it rich!
And the resources needed for cultivation, truly, could never be too many.
He quickly reached perfect mastery in Qi Training.
Breaking through to open a house required a spirit pill worth over ten thousand spirit stones, and it wasn’t easy to buy.
For cultivators at perfect mastery in Qi Training wanting to break through to open a house, it was best to prepare two or more spirit pills for the highest success rate.
Wang Chen estimated that with his current root bone talent, even if he forced his way through using the Cultivation Panel, he would need two or three spirit pills to stabilize his foundation and protect his soul, otherwise, the consequences could be dire.
Three spirit pills would cost around thirty to forty thousand spirit stones!
Additionally, after breaking through, he would need to find new techniques and spells.
The techniques at the Purple Palace level were much more expensive than those at the Qi Training level.
As for regular cultivation, that was even less worth mentioning.
Wang Chen had no family support, and now even his sect was gone; he could only rely on himself.
He carefully scavenged the area before quickly leaving Thunderstorm Valley.
Wang Chen found a secluded spot and thoroughly examined all the storage bags he had collected.
He stored the useful items in his own storage bag, and the useless ones, along with the emptied storage bags, he shattered with the Wind and Thunder Sword’s energy, then incinerated them completely with the Fire Crow Technique.
Although it was a shame to destroy so many storage bags, Wang Chen did not feel the slightest bit remorseful for the sake of his safety.
After handling all the loose ends, he set off on the journey back to Dongwu Town.
