Chapter 46: The Dual Blades
Chapter 46: The Dual Blades
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, the end of August arrived.
Outside Qinglinfang City, at the edge of the Great Wilderness.
With the end of the beast tide, the density of wild demons in the outdoors decreased significantly. Many warriors dared to roam in groups, hunting demons and gathering spirit herbs.
Hua!
Accompanied by a terrifying nasal sound, a three-meter-long wild boar with a red body and a pair of fangs charged out from the dense forest.
It was like a heavy tank, toppling trees and uprooting the earth in its path.
Facing it was a young warrior carrying a sword and a knife.
"With a sword in hand, leave no ghost or god... Kill!"
Fang Xing was like a demon, his hundred-refined steel knife bursting with dazzling blades of light. He moved with the knife, his body becoming a straight line as he fiercely collided with this first-grade low-grade demon beast.
Shush!
Just before colliding with the wild boar demon, he twisted his waist and abruptly bent at the last moment, performing a move that defied human physics like a paper doll.
Zhit!
He sidestepped the wild boar's charge, and his steel knife flashed as he viciously slashed at the wild boar demon's neck!
This demon beast had a thick layer of grease and dirt on its body, further enhanced by its demonic beast talent, making it even tougher than iron armor.
But at this moment, under the blades of light, it was cut through like tofu.
The blade sliced through the thick outer shell, followed by flesh and bone...
"Nothing is Uncuttable!"
With this strike, Fang Xing seemed to have gained a deeper understanding of the Ghost God Knife's trait—to forge ahead relentlessly, cutting through all obstacles!
Pfft!
In the end, a huge pig head flew high into the air, and blood gushed out like a spring.
Even after being beheaded, the headless corpse of the wild boar demon continued to charge forward for dozens of meters, crashing into a giant tree and causing it to collapse before finally coming to a stop.
[Ghost God Knife: 7/100 (Entry Level)]
"Good, my proficiency with the Ghost God Knife has increased a little again. As expected, martial arts still require actual combat..."
Fang Xing was a bit excited.
Ever since he had reached the entry level with both the Ghost God Knife and the Extreme Emotion Sword, he had occasionally ventured into the wilderness to test his skills.
Many martial arts techniques could only be improved at a rapid pace through real combat!
Moreover, there was another benefit in this cultivation world—human lives were cheap.
Even if dozens of people died, it wouldn't be a big deal, as battles occurred almost daily.
If this were on Planet Eagle, forget about indiscriminate killing, even a single death would bring investigators to the neighbors' doors.
Unless it was in the black market!
But everyone in the black market wore protective suits, making it difficult to kill them, and there was a higher chance of something going wrong!
In the Great Wilderness of the cultivation world, the chances of something going wrong were actually lower.
"The path of martial arts, one step ahead, every step ahead!"
"Not to mention the college entrance examination!"
Having reached the entry level of an A-grade martial art in his first year, his progress was naturally far beyond those who started with A-grade martial arts in their second or third year.
Just based on this alone, he could surpass quite a few people and get into a better university in the future!
"School starts tomorrow..."
With a touch of melancholy, Fang Xing stepped forward to harvest the materials from the wild boar demon.
Recently, the price of demon beast meat had been on the rise, so the pork couldn't be wasted either. He could give it to Hua Feiyue to sell slowly.
This time, he had come out under the pretext of contacting the herb suppliers, so he still needed to go to the temporary camp to pick up a batch of herbs.
'From now on, I'll mainly leave the matters here to Hua Feiyue...'
'This woman seems trustworthy for the time being... For some unknown reason, the Black Tiger Gang and Chen Yi have been lying low lately, so there shouldn't be any trouble...'
Fang Xing was in the middle of cutting a pig's leg when he suddenly stood up and looked into the dense forest, "Who's there?"
"This young brother has good ears!"
A figure leaped out from the trees, a black-clothed youth.
He was tall and slender, with a heroic face. Standing on the treetops, his body swayed with the branches, displaying an extremely profound light work technique.
At this moment, looking at the wild boar corpse on the ground, a gleam flashed in his eyes, "According to the rules of the city, we share when we meet. Little brother, you..."
After all, he was a congenital warrior, and with his superb light work, he couldn't help but look down on Fang Xing.
Moreover, this first-grade low-grade demon beast was worth quite a few spirit stones!
Although it might not be much to some cultivators, to every warrior, even a single spirit stone couldn't be ignored!
"Seeking death!"
Fang Xing's face sank, and the steel knife in his hand flew out by itself.
Shush!
The steel knife embedded itself in the tree trunk behind the youth, the blade disappearing completely.
"A mere post-innate warrior, relying on traps or poison to kill a low-grade demon beast by luck, and you still dare to..."
The youth's figure was like a ghost, instantly transforming into three silhouettes, silently appearing beside Fang Xing with a cruel glint in his eyes.
Clang!
In the next moment, Fang Xing drew his longsword!
This sword was not a blood-forged magic weapon but a common Qingfeng Sword that he had bought from a stall.
The material was considered good in the secular world, barely qualifying as a sharp weapon, but in the eyes of cultivators, it was nothing but scrap metal.
Shing!
Sword light flashed.
The youth suddenly froze, his mind in a daze as if he had seen the willow trees back home, the moonlit lotus pond, and her under the willow tree...
'I'm sorry... Ling'er, in the end, I still...'
A tear slid down the youth's cheek.
Pft!
The youth immediately clutched his throat, unable to utter a word.
A sword tip protruded from his neck, neither more nor less than necessary.
Thud! The youth's body fell to the ground.
"A post-innate warrior defeating a congenital warrior is as simple as that. I didn't even need to use my protective suit!"
"The Extreme Emotion Sword seems even more powerful than the Ghost God Knife, but it's incredibly difficult to reach the entry level..."
Fang Xing sheathed his sword and glanced at his attributes:
[Extreme Emotion Sword: 5/100 (Entry Level)]
Ever since he obtained the assistance of the 'Chaos God Talisman', he had practiced day and night, finally reaching the entry level of this A-grade martial art.
Even at the entry level, this sword was remarkably powerful.
In the simulation scenario, even a congenital expert would experience a momentary mental haze.
When experts clash, that momentary haze is more than enough for Fang Xing to kill his opponent ten times over!
'I wonder if it would work on cultivators? Qi Refining cultivators possess 'spiritual sense', so their mental defense might be stronger... But my Extreme Emotion Sword has only reached the entry level, and I can still improve it further!'
'At the very least, a true emotional state will definitely affect cultivators!'
As Fang Xing pondered, he covered his hand with a nano-glove and began to search the corpse.
"Tsk, what a poor guy. He only had a few spirit stones on him..."
"Where are the martial arts manuals? His light work is pretty good, but he didn't even carry any manuals with him. Disappointing!"
...
After searching for a while, Fang Xing returned to Qinglinfang City, grumbling to himself.
These warriors from Qinglinfang City were naturally far less wealthy than those from the black market. At least they didn't have any high-tech equipment like laser guns or nano-protective suits.
Recently, they hadn't even dropped any manuals, which left him speechless.
At the shanty house.
"Young Master actually went out to hunt demon beasts alone again?"
Hua Feiyue felt that she was understanding this young master less and less.
Even though she knew he possessed a blood-forged magic weapon, why would he risk his life like this when he had control over the herb suppliers?
"From tomorrow onwards, we'll settle the spirit stones every three days..."
Fang Xing didn't say much and handed over a batch of sorted herbs and demon beast materials to Hua Feiyue.
By now, he could somewhat trust her, so he could afford to extend the settlement period.
After all, even if he lost three days' worth of income, it wouldn't matter much to him. It was a price he was willing to pay to test someone's character.
Moreover, once school started, he wouldn't be able to stay here all the time, so he had to delegate some responsibilities.
"Please rest assured, Young Master."
Hua Feiyue took the items with a smile and gave Fang Xing a coquettish glance.
After this period of assisting his cultivation with the 'Seven Emotions Manual', she had become very familiar with Fang Xing.
However, today, Fang Xing wasn't in the mood for small talk and directly saw her out.
After Hua Feiyue left, Fang Xing remained silent as he began cooking the spirit rice and practicing with the large dragon cauldron.
After eating the spirit rice, he continued to practice with the Ghost God Knife and the Extreme Emotion Sword.
"The greatest benefit of A-grade martial arts is the protection of one's mental state! It allows one to directly face the spiritual shock and pollution of the Evil God's minions!"
With his dual blades, amidst countless flashes of light, Fang Xing's figure weaved through, his thoughts wandering.
"I realized during my cultivation that when facing the 'Seven Emotions Manual', as long as I simulate the state of the Ghost God Knife, Hua Feiyue's spiritual martial art has no effect on me..."
"Once I master the Extreme Emotion Sword, even a cultivator's 'Chaos God Talisman', as long as I actively resist, can be negated."
"So, it seems that in the future, when facing cultivators who are skilled in spiritual attacks, like charm-type cultivators, I can remain unperturbed?"
The reason why cultivators were so formidable was that they had a multitude of methods.
And this type of spiritual attack secret technique was one of their most important methods.
"However, why am I always thinking about how to fight cultivators?"
"As a true warrior, am I destined to crush everything in this foreign world with my fists?"
Fang Xing sighed and went to the basement to look at his assets.
"Laser guns, nano-protective suits, electric batons, various monitoring equipment, and a stockpile of spirit herbs worth about fifty lower-grade spirit stones..."
"In addition, I have thirty-seven spirit stones left, along with eight spirit sands, and various pills, martial arts manuals, poison powder, hidden weapons, and other miscellaneous items..."
"There's also the payment from Hua Feiyue, which should be about fifteen or sixteen lower-grade spirit stones..."
"Lastly, there's this bottle of 'Pre-Natal Dan'."
Fang Xing picked up a jade bottle that contained a milky-white pill. The bottle's mouth was sealed with a 'Spirit Sealing Talisman'.
According to the information he obtained from Xiao Rui, the maid at Qingdanfang, this 'Pre-Natal Dan' could maintain its efficacy for about five years when placed in a specially crafted jade bottle and sealed with a 'Spirit Sealing Talisman'. Fang Xing immediately spent fifty spirit stones to purchase a pill!
After all, he estimated that he would reach the Second Realm of Perfection within a year.
At that time, the Pre-Natal Dan would come in handy, allowing him to directly enter the Natural State.
"After the Natural State, I'll be able to use true qi to activate many talismans and gain access to even more methods."
Anticipation flashed in Fang Xing's eyes.
