Chapter 43: The Wind

There were five disciples from the Tianlong Sect: one was at the second level of the Qi Refining Stage, and three were at the third level of the Qi Refining Stage. The strongest among them was only at the fourth level of the Qi Refining Stage.

Although the Black-aura Giant Ape was only at the first grade of the third level, its strength was comparable to a fifth level Qi Refining Stage cultivator, and after a fierce battle, four of the Tianlong Sect disciples were already seriously injured.

Only the young man at the fourth level of the Qi Refining Stage was struggling to hold on.

The Black-aura Giant Ape was very intelligent and did not directly fight these Tianlong Sect disciples, but whenever they tried to escape, the Black-aura Giant Ape would immediately block them.

When a cultivator kills a spirit beast, they can use it for medicine or alchemy; similarly, when a spirit beast devours a cultivator’s flesh and blood, it can also increase its power. Therefore, to the Black-aura Giant Ape, these Tianlong Sect disciples were not much different from spirit herbs.

As the battle heated up, the Black-aura Giant Ape suddenly seized an opportunity and struck the fourth level Tianlong Sect disciple with a palm.

This Tianlong Sect disciple was knocked to the ground, and his fellow disciples could not reach him in time. The Black-aura Giant Ape reached out and grabbed this disciple, swallowing him whole.

With a mouth full of flesh and blood, the other four disciples turned pale with fear, losing the courage to fight again, and turned to flee.

This escape gave the Black-aura Giant Ape an opportunity. It raised its arm and swept it away, instantly knocking two disciples of the Tianlong Sect, who were at the third level of the Qi Refining Stage, to the ground.

The Black-aura Giant Ape grasped one disciple with one arm, slammed it down, and both of them immediately turned into a puddle of flesh.

The bloody scene frightened the remaining two Tianlong Sect disciples, leaving them collapsed on the ground, while the disciple at the second level of the Qi Refining Stage even lost control of his bladder.

The Black-aura Giant Ape walked in front of them, raised its hand again, and that third level of the Qi Refining Stage disciple met the king of the underworld.

Just as the Black-aura Giant Ape’s hand was about to strike the second level of the Qi Refining Stage disciple, a flash of sword light suddenly appeared, and a black sword flew swiftly toward the back of the Black-aura Giant Ape.

"Roar! Roar! Roar!"

The long sword pierced the Black-aura Giant Ape’s back but did not penetrate its body. A massive force came back, and Yi Qianmo, who had struck the sword, was thrown away.

The Black-aura Giant Ape’s eyes were as red as lanterns, staring at Yi Qianmo. It leaped up and rushed toward him.

"Clang! Clang!"

As two powerful blows struck, Yi Qianmo swung his sword to block, feeling a shock in his hands that made them tingle. His spiritual power couldn’t attach to the sword and was scattered away.

"Damn it!"

Yi Qianmo held his sword, knowing he had underestimated his opponent, but he didn’t turn to run. Running now would have the same result as those Tianlong Sect disciples.

Although he was tough and strong, he was nowhere near as powerful as the Black-aura Giant Ape.

As he saw the Black-aura Giant Ape coming down at him, Yi Qianmo felt the sword’s intent and silently chanted in his heart, "The sword hides in the eight shapes, the wind is in the Xun position!"

"Boom!"

The Black-aura Giant Ape’s hand struck down, tearing the ground apart. If a person were under that hand, they would have been turned into a pancake. But Yi Qianmo had vanished from that spot.

"How is that possible!"

In the distance, Zhou Lanting was ready to help, but she found out she was too late.

With Yi Qianmo’s power at the second level of the Qi Refining Stage, even being stronger than ordinary cultivators, he couldn’t escape the blow from the Black-aura Giant Ape.

However, Yi Qianmo managed to dodge. In that moment, his speed increased many times, and he heard the sound of wind howling from far away.

This made Zhou Lanting wonder if she had just imagined it!

Before Zhou Lanting could recover from what she had just seen, Yi Qianmo, who had avoided the blow of the Black-aura Giant Ape, had somehow circled around to the back of the Black-aura Giant Ape and leaped, stabbing down with his sword.

The rough-skinned, thick-fleshed Black-aura Giant Ape was pierced right through, the sword creating a bloody hole.

The Black-aura Giant Ape let out an angry roar and turned to strike, but Yi Qianmo, in midair, had already pulled out his sword and dodged the blow, leaving behind several afterimages.

"Puff!"

Another sword strike came down, and Yi Qianmo had reached in front of the Black-aura Giant Ape, plunging his sword straight into its chest.

"Roar!"

The furious Black-aura Giant Ape went wild but couldn’t hit Yi Qianmo at all. In less than a few dozen rounds, Yi Qianmo pierced the Black-aura Giant Ape with over ten swords, each strike hitting its vital point, causing the Black-aura Giant Ape to bleed profusely.

"Boom!"

After several dozen rounds, the blood-soaked Black-aura Giant Ape moved slower and slower. Yi Qianmo pierced it in the chest with a sword, and it fell to the ground.

"Is it the movement technique?"

Zhou Lanting rubbed his eyes. If it weren’t for the huge corpse on the ground, he would doubt if he was dreaming. A second-level Qi Refining Stage fighter actually killed a first-grade third-level Black-aura Giant Ape.

The Tianlong Sect disciple was already dumbfounded. Being at the second level of the Qi Refining Stage himself, he felt like a useless person in front of this man.

Yi Qianmo let out a long sigh; he had already used up eighty percent of his spiritual power.

What he had just used was the Wind Word Sword from the Great Yi Sword Technique.

The entire Great Yi Sword Technique is divided into eight sword forms: Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Li, Kan, Gen, and Dui.

Each sword form represents a different sword meaning: Heaven, Earth, Thunder, Wind, Fire, Water, Mountain, and Marsh!

What he just used was the Wind Word Sword from the Xun sword form. If it weren’t for the Chaotic Sword Body, he would not have been able to use it at all. Even so, this Wind Word Sword consumed much more spiritual power than he imagined. If this Black-aura Giant Ape were any stronger, he would have been in real trouble.

Yi Qianmo did not look at the disciples of the Tianlong Sect. Instead, he walked in front of the Black-aura Giant Ape, took out a jade bottle, and began to collect the precious blood from its heart.

The Black-aura Giant Ape’s flesh and blood were all treasures, but what truly interested Yi Qianmo was the precious blood from its heart.

After filling one jade bottle, he felt very satisfied, and the corpse on the ground quickly dried up after losing its precious blood.

"Thank you, senior brother, for saving me. May I ask which immortal sect you come from? I have never seen you before."

The young man in monk robes finally stood up. Seeing how quickly Yi Qianmo killed the Black-aura Giant Ape, his face was filled with admiration.

Upon hearing this, Yi Qianmo turned around to look at the little monk and noticed that he was fair and delicate, especially his pure and clear eyes, which made people feel a sense of closeness.

"I saved you without asking who you are, and now you are asking about me?"

Yi Qianmo put the jade bottle into the Sword Pill and replied impatiently.

"No, no… I am a monk named Yu Xiu, from the Tianlong Sect."

The little monk looked anxious and said, "Please don’t be upset, I just wanted to know your name because I hope that in the future…"

"There’s no need to repay me."

Yi Qianmo interrupted directly, "I just want to ask you one question, where did this Black-aura Giant Ape come from?"

Yu Xiu shook his head and said, "I don’t know either. A few of us were searching here when we suddenly encountered this Black-aura Giant Ape. We thought we could defeat it, but unexpectedly…"

As he spoke, he looked at the bodies on the ground, and his eyes immediately filled with tears, making one feel pity for him.

"Suddenly?"

Yi Qianmo looked at him but found that he did not seem to be lying, "Alright, take care of yourself."

Yu Xiu was about to speak, but she saw Yi Qianmo darting away into the distance, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
