Chapter 295: Infinite Mountain and River Force and Mystic Spirit War Case
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Kuiling Gorge, in the forest by the river.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Han Zhao grabbed Murong Qi’s neck and raised him high with one hand. White-gold electric arcs flickered around his body, paralyzing Murong Qi’s entire body and making him lose the ability to resist.
Chi chi chi!
Murong Qi grabbed Han Zhao’s arm tightly with both hands. He used his sharp claws with all his might. Other than scratching the scales on Han Zhao’s arm until sparks flew, he could not break through his defense at all.
“Hehe… The Murong aristocratic family and the Hundred Spirit Sect… won’t…
let you off!” Murong Qi’s face turned purple and his eyes bulged.
“At least you can’t see it, right?” Han Zhao sneered.
“You can’t… I beg you…” Under the fear of death, Murong Qi had the thought of begging for mercy for the first time.
He was just a little bit away from reaching the third Bloodline Awakening stage. He had a chance of becoming an expert standing at the top of the world in the future. How could he die here?
“Crack!” Han Zhao suddenly tightened his arm. With a crisp sound of bones breaking, he completely twisted Murong Qi’s neck. The Lightning Flood Dragon’s blood contained the Lightning Spirit Qi that spread throughout Murong Qi’s entire body.
“So you’re afraid of death too,” Han Zhao said indifferently. He looked at
Murong Qi’s lowered hands and circulated the True Spirit Nine
Transformations to absorb the blood essence in Murong Qi’s body.
He had just died and now was the time when the white tiger bloodline in his body was the most active.
He would absorb it first before refining it.
It could maximize the utilization of the white tiger bloodline.
Murong Qi’s body quickly shriveled up and finally turned into dust that dissipated with the wind.
“Roar!” A tiger roar sounded in Han Zhao’s ear. He felt his arm that was grabbing Murong Qi heat up and a white tiger pattern that looked like a tattoo was branded on his forearm.
Han Zhao looked at the white tiger pattern on his arm and felt an incomparably sharp aura faintly emitted from it.
“Is this the bloodline mark of an aristocratic family?”
He circulated various cultivation methods and true qi, but he could not expel the mark.
According to Yu Xuanji, this bloodline mark would take at least half a year to be automatically removed.
Seeing this, Han Zhao deactivated his flood dragon transformation and changed into a new set of white clothes. Then, he put away Ji Qingshuang’s remnant corpse and Sumeru Pouch.
“No! Young Master!”
At this moment, the Sword Slave who had just rushed to the shore let out a miserable cry.
If Murong Qi had been killed) his outcome would not be any better.
“Die!” The Sword Slave erupted with all his True Qi and wanted to fight Han Zhao to the death.
On the other side, Ji Yun, who saw Han Zhao put away Ji Qingshuang’s corpse, also attacked him.
“Hmph!” Han Zhao sneered and took off Murong Qi’s Sumeru Pouch.
“Swish, swish, swish!”
Just as Han Zhao was about to deal with the Sword Slave and Ji Yun, three arrows landed on the hundreds of meters high cliff on the other side at almost the same time.
The arrow was surrounded by a strong wind, raising a hurricane more than ten meters tall. Ice and electric arcs intersected in the hurricane.
Boom!!
“Ah!” The Sword Slave and Ji Yun instantly died.
Han Zhao looked up. On the cliff, three women who looked identical jumped down. They were the Lian sisters.
The aftershock of the hurricane stirred up a large amount of river water and swept towards the shore.
Seeing this, Han Zhao did not retreat but advanced towards the river.
A crimson Qi barrier appeared around him. With the Connate Blazing Sun
Astral Qi protecting his body, he endured the aftershock of the attack of the Three Wonders Spirit Arrow and put the corpses of the Sword Slave and Ji Yun into the Sumeru Pouch.
“Brother Han, be careful!” Lian Chengxue cried out in surprise when he landed.
However, Han Zhao heaved a sigh of relief when the Astral Qi around him blocked the hurricane.
“Thank you for coming to help.” Han Zhao cupped his fists at the three women.
The three women landed in front of Han Zhao. When they saw that he was dressed in white and was spotless, they could not help but be stunned.
“According to the agreement, we were late.” Lian Chengyu looked apologetic.
After they received the letter from the ice-blue bird, they rushed to the Kuiling Gorge immediately.
However, the battle seemed to be coming to an end.
Even without them taking action, Han Zhao would probably be able to quickly end the battle.
“Miss Chengyu, you’re being too serious.” Han Zhao smiled and didn’t mind.
It was not that the three women were too slow, but the smoothness of the battle exceeded his expectations. It ended too quickly.
Looking at the messy battlefield, Lian Chengxue asked with concern, “Brother
Han, are you injured? Where are Murong Qi and Ji Qingshuang?”
“When I came, both of them were injured. I picked up a huge bargain.” With that, Han Zhao patted the two Sumeru Pouches at his waist.
When Lian Chengyu and Lian Chengbing heard this, they looked at each other and the corners of their mouths could not help but twitch. This was completely lying through his teeth.
“It’s good that you’re not injured.” Lian Chengxue heaved a sigh of relief and his body swayed slightly.
“Miss Chengxue?” Han Zhao held her.
“I’m fine.” Lian Chengxue’s face heated up. Just now, when she saw Sword Slave and Ji Yun attack Han Zhao, in a moment of desperation, she directly used the power of her divine weapon. At this moment, she was relaxed and immediately felt a little weak. After all, Han Zhao had absorbed a lot of Yin energy.
“In short, thank you. We can’t stay here for long. Let’s leave this place first,” Han Zhao let go of Lian Chengxue and said seriously.
“Alright!” The three women did not hesitate at all.
The four of them cleaned up the battlefield and rushed to the Furious Flood Dragon Island together.
Long Forest River, on the Furious Flood Dragon Gang’s ship.
As soon as Han Zhao entered the cabin, he closed the door of the room and began to count his gains this time.
He first absorbed the blood qi, Internal Force, and true qi of the Sword Slave and Ji Yun.
Then, he began to refine it.
It took him a full hour to complete these refinements.
Longevity Technique (Sixth Level Greater Mastery 11%. Upgradeable. Special Effect: Life Extension 4,200 years…)
Mountain Splitting Saber Technique (Sixth Level Entry Level 25%,
Upgradeable; Special Effect: Explosive Level 31, Mountain Splitting Force Level 35)
Heavenly River Rain Overturning Sword Technique (Sixth Level Perfection
100%, Upgradeable; Special Effect: Sharpness Level 32, Sword Howl Level 25,
Rain Overturning Force Level 22, Water Gathering Level 9)
The Longevity Technique broke through another small level. The 400 years of lifespan that he had lost by using the Withering Style seemed to have returned. Ever since the Blood Spirit Avatar became the Flood Dragon Avatar, although his combat strength had increased, the progress of this sword technique had slowed down because the Flood Dragon Avatar lacked autonomy.
Therefore, without the Blood Spirit Avatar to cultivate the Heavenly River Rain Overturning Sword Technique at the same time, this time, the abundant blood qi and true qi he absorbed directly perfected the Heavenly River Rain Overturning Sword Technique.
Similarly, the Mountain Splitting Saber Technique had also reached the Sixth Level.
[Mountain Splitting Force and Heavenly River Rain Overturning Force are perfected. The combination of saber and sword can obtain the best deduction route: Mountain Splitting Force+Heavenly River Rain Overturning Force = Infinite Mountain and River Force.]
[Infinite Mountain and River Force: It can mobilize the power of the earth, rivers, lakes, and seas. As long as there’s enough Internal Force, its power can increase infinitely. In theory, it can restrain the Perfected Three Points Origin Returning Qi]
Looking at the notification on the system interface, Han Zhao fell into deep thought.
Actually, to him, the special effect of the Muscle Regeneration was far more practical than his combat ability. It was not that the Three Points Origin
Returning Qi was not good, but he had too many powerful methods now.
The effect of Three Points Origin Returning Qi was mainly in recovery and prolonged battles. Every time he faced an enemy now, he would basically fight a major realm higher.
If he could win, he would fight. If he couldn’t, he wouldn’t fight. He would use his explosive skills to end the battle quickly. It was rare for him to fight the enemy to exhaust himself.
Therefore, when he entered the Martial Saint Realm and mastered the Lesser Divine Power of the Three Points Origin Returning Qi, he would probably be able to unleash its true power.
The Infinite Mountain and River Force was probably the same. In theory, its power could be increased infinitely, but his current Internal Force was not enough to form an advantage over martial artists of higher realms.
He probably had to reach the Martial Saint Realm to display its true power.
After pondering for a moment, Han Zhao muttered in his mind. “System, increase the Mountain Splitting Saber Technique?’
Last time, he still had 77 attribute points left. He could use them.
[Attribute Points: 77 2]
Mountain Splitting Saber Technique (Sixth Level Perfection 100%, Can
Deduce; Special Effect: Explosive Level 40, Mountain Splitting Force Level 44) Han Zhao felt the Internal Force in his body increase and sat cross-legged on the bed.
He stretched out his hands and a ball of brown Internal Force appeared in his left hand. It was thick and condensed.
A stream of Internal Force appeared in his right hand and flowed nimbly in his
Crack! Crack!
Han Zhao clasped his hands together, and the two Internal Forces produced a violent collision and friction sound.
As time passed, the two Internal Forces merged into one. Infinite Mountain and River Force (Small Mastery 56%, Upgradeable) “I just need to continuously strengthen my Internal Force.”
Han Zhao looked at the brand-new Internal Force and thought to himself.
Then, he opened Murong Qi and Ji Qingshuang’s Sumeru Pouches to check the spoils of war.
He absorbed the Yin energy in Ji Qingshuang’s remnant corpse.
Unfortunately, she was not a demon and did not have any Demon Crystal in her body. As her Binding Force dissipated after death, the Yin energy was much less than that of demons of the same level.
However, the Yin energy brought to Han Zhao was probably enough to simulate it once or twice.
After feeding the remaining remains to the fragments of the Red Dragon Halberd divine weapon, Han Zhao continued to count.
“Ten… twenty… thirty…”
He immediately took out all the banknotes in their Sumeru Pouches.
“You’re a descendant of an aristocratic family! How poor!”
The two of them added up to a total of 100,000 taels.
Of course, money was the least valuable thing in their Sumeru Pouch. It was just that Han Zhao was very short of money now.
He found two pseudo-divine weapon fragments in Ji Qingshuang’s Sumeru
Pouch.
As for the Seven Evil Mask fragment, he did not move.
When they boarded the ship just now, Han Zhao had asked Shui Jingfeng to bring the token given by Ji Baiwei and personally make a trip to Great Liang in the Heavenly Prefecture to send a letter to the Ji family.
He wanted to give this Seven Evil Mask fragment to Ji Baiwei personally so that he could maximize the benefits.
He was too short of money now!
Then, Han Zhao took out a few jade boxes from Murong Qi’s Sumeru Pouch. He opened them one by one, and a rich medicinal fragrance instantly filled the entire treasure chest.
Han Zhao’s eyes widened in surprise, “This is… the Six Leaf Bodhi Flower! Jade Essence Grass! Essence Replenishing Zoysia!’
This Murong Qi was really too rich!
The Six Leaf Bodhi Flower was a peerless treasure that could purify the bloodline of a spirit beast, and the Jade Essence Grass could cleanse the marrow, increasing the probability of breaking through a huge bottleneck.
As for the Essence Replenishing Zoysia, it was an item that nourished blood qi.
Judging from the appearance and medicinal fragrance of these three spiritual herbs, they were probably close to 200 years old.
Just by swallowing it directly, the medicinal power was very obvious.
“If I can find a concoction and refine these three spiritual herbs into medicinal pills, the medicinal strength will at least double.”
Even if he could not use it, he could use it to exchange for money and resources. Moreover, the people around him could use it. Immediately after, Han Zhao took out the black sword case.
[Mystic Spirit War Case—Spirit Artifact] [Grade: Middle-grade]
[Spirituality: 55% (Slumber, Upgradeable)]
[Special Effect: Nurture Spirituality]
[Remove or store weapons through true qi and bloodline power.] [Putting the weapon in it can upgrade the weapon’s spirituality.]
A system notification appeared.
“This is…” Han Zhao’s eyes widened. This ordinary-looking black sword case was actually a middle-grade Spirit Artifact. Moreover, placing a weapon inside could increase the weapon’s spirituality.
To him, this was simply a supreme treasure.
With this Mystic Spirit War Case, the spirituality of the Afterlife Sword and Severing Karma Saber could increase further.
Moreover, any weapons in the future could be placed in this Mystic Spirit War
Case.
Han Zhao injected his true qi into the Mystic Spirit War Case. The box opened
and a huge golden sword flew out.
[White Tiger Golden Crystal Sword—Spirit Artifact]
[Grade: Low-grade]
[Spirituality: 29% (Slumber, Upgradeable)]
[Special Effect: Enhanced Sword Aura, Sharp Metal Qi]
[The sword qi and metal-element qi attached to true qi and bloodline power can be strengthened by 20% through the sword body.]
“Good stuff!”
“Murong Qi is really particular about this!”
Han Zhao couldn’t help but sigh. It was obvious that he had brought all his assets with him..
