Chapter 232: Chapter 109 Transcendental Blade Nurturing Art! Nurturing Blade Qi, Gathering Blade Force, Condensing Blade Intent!_1
“I can do it!”
Su Changkong could no longer hide the joy on his face at this moment, indeed his Blade Nurturing Art could use his own body as a blade, storing Blade Qi within.
There were many advantages to storing Blade Qi in his body. First of all, it was much more flexible to use, capable of releasing a large amount of Blade Qi at once or just a small amount, which allowed him to control consumption.
Not like storing Blade Qi in a blade, which would require using it all up once the blade was drawn!
Moreover, as long as Su Changkong didn’t use the Blade Qi accumulated inside his body, it would not dissipate, whereas with the Blade Qi stored in a blade, he had to nurture it every day, otherwise, the Blade Qi would gradually fade away.
Storing Blade Qi within oneself, the control was more exquisite; with ten parts of energy, he could exert ten parts of effect!
“Let’s see to what extent my Blade Nurturing Art can reach!”
Su Changkong’s eyes shone, he needed to focus on storing Blade Qi inside his body during this period, which would be his life-saving and enemy-killing move!
That Demon Monster Feng Mo could come knocking at any moment, and there probably wasn’t enough time for Su Changkong to break through to the level of the Qi-Blood Long Dragon. Even if he did break through, he wasn’t sure if he could defeat him.
Yet, the Blade Nurturing Art could greatly increase Su Changkong’s combat power in a short period of time, so he had to focus all his attention on the Blade Nurturing Art, storing Blade Qi within!
Su Changkong felt mentally fatigued, he laid down and fell asleep, breathing in and out to recover his mental and physical strength. After half an hour, Su Changkong rejuvenated, sat cross-legged again, and began to store Blade Qi.
“Huff!”
Su Changkong’s Essence Qi Spirit became one. Inside his body, the Turtle Breathing True Qi flowed, his Qi and Blood boiling, strands and threads of energy mingled together forming a sharp Blade Qi!
This Blade Qi, growing stronger, changed from its original colorless and transparent state to a faint blue with a hint of blood-red.
The faint blue came from his Turtle Breathing True Qi, and the blood-red originated from his Qi and Blood!
The main body of this Blade Qi was Turtle Breathing True Qi and his own Qi and Blood. Combined with his mental will, he kept honing it, making it sharper, making it impregnable!
The Blade Qi cultivated within Su Changkong’s body was of a higher quality by more than a few notches than the Blade Qi stored using a blade as a vessel.
Blade Nurturing Art (Profound Mastery 26% at Level 7)
By nourishing his Blade Qi with his own body, Su Changkong’s realm of Blade Nurturing Art improved at a ferocious pace. In just one day, the progress bar had already increased by a whopping 7%!
In a short time, the Blade Nurturing Art could step into the realm of Level 8!
While cultivating Blade Qi, Su Changkong also learned about the outside world from Sikong Huang.
“Three days ago, the Iron Flag Sect suffered an attack from a mysterious expert, with heavy casualties. The Sect Leader Tie Wuchang and the Deputy Sect Leader were killed on the spot, and their bodies were taken away…”
Su Changkong learned of the major events that happened in Ink Forest Prefecture City.
The Iron Flag Sect was one of the major gangs in Ink Forest Prefecture City. Although its strength and heritage were far less than that of the Giant Whale Gang, it also had nearly two thousand disciples, with the Sect Leader Tie Wuchang being a long-established expert in Ink Forest Prefecture City. Yet, he was killed by a mysterious expert in his own sect!
“It was Feng Mo who did it! He seems to be very interested in the flesh and blood of experts, is it used to recover his own state?”
With this news, a chill went through Su Changkong’s heart.
Three days ago was the day after the day Su Changkong and Feng Mo had fought. Without accident, the one who killed the Sect Leader of the Iron Flag Sect was Feng Mo.
Previously, Su Changkong had guessed that Feng Mo was not at his peak state, and that was why he retreated from battle after a short while. And now, it seemed Feng Mo started hunting and preying to bring himself to his peak state!
The flesh and blood of ordinary people, compared to that of Martial Arts experts, naturally Martial Arts experts’ flesh and blood contained much more energy.
A Martial Artist in the Qi-Blood Realm could be worth a hundred ordinary people, and Feng Mo was hunting Martial Arts experts in Ink Forest Prefecture City!
“Starting today, the Giant Whale Gang is entering a state of combat readiness!”
The Giant Whale Gang also responded to this by strengthening their defenses to prevent Feng Mo from attacking.
“Damn it… Who is causing mayhem? Who would brazenly enter another’s territory to kill?”
“You don’t think they would really have the guts to come to our Giant Whale Gang, do you? Our Gang Leader Sikong Yong is unmatched in Divine Bravery!”
Members of the Giant Whale Gang also heard the news about the Iron Flag Sect Leader being killed, many felt worried, but when they thought of the numerous strong warriors in the Giant Whale Gang, with Gang Leader Sikong Yong at the helm, they all relaxed.
“Continue!”
Su Changkong did not concern himself with the changes outside; he seized every minute to cultivate his Blade Qi, feeling a great sense of urgency. He wished he could use each day as two, focusing primarily on the Blade Nurturing Art!
As time passed, almost every two or three days, big news occurred in Ink Forest Prefecture City. Following the death of the Sect Leader of the Iron Flag Sect, the master of a large martial hall in the city was similarly poisoned two days later.
There were also witnesses claiming that the murderer was a sturdy old man, seemingly practiced in very powerful Horizontal Training Skill, impervious to sword and spear!
Hearing this news, Su Changkong was certain the perpetrator was Feng Mo!
Feng Mo, originally appearing as a stooped old man, kept on hunting Martial Arts experts in Ink Forest Prefecture City, consuming their flesh and blood, which made his state advance towards the peak.
“The Blade Qi inside me is becoming thicker and thicker! With a thought, the Blade Qi can burst out of my body and harm the enemy!”
As time went by, the Blade Qi within Su Changkong’s body became progressively more refined and thick, as if his body were a scabbard, and with a thought, the blade could be unsheathed, performing a Horizontal Chop against all.
In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.
Ink Forest Prefecture City, during the night, was no longer as bustling as it used to be.
