Chapter 78 Awakening (First Update)

  Misty fine rain, vision also gradually become blurred, Ye Chen's figure lightly floated down onto the mountain rocks.

  In the distance, a misty fog spread out, and there, a figure slowly emerged, with a sword that shone with a cold light like a silver moon in a pitch-black sky, exceptionally eye-catching.

  The corners of his mouth slightly raised, Ye Chen's footsteps lightly tapped, and he calmly charged forward, pursuing the killer. The pursuer who had disappeared for several days reappeared, and the bounty offered by the Blood Sword Army was especially enticing, driving all the warriors in the abandoned domain crazy. Facing the endless stream of pursuers, Ye Chen remained calm and composed.

  The true energy inside the body churned and surged, with a subtle tendency to reach the peak of martial arts. With a slight step, Ye Chen was like a spring breeze sweeping across the land, merging into the misty fine rain, carrying the fine rain, silently and quietly appearing in front of that figure, and immediately stabbing out with one sword.

  Silent and soundless, the raindrops hit the sword body and emitted a clear ticking sound. Immediately, an explosive roar followed, and the two figures fell backward.

  Wiping away the rainwater from the corner of his mouth, Ye Chen's gaze was as sharp as a venomous snake, tightly staring at that swaying figure, and he hissed: "A first-layer peak warrior, how interesting!"

  A strange noise came from the figure, and the rough face was full of surprise. The big man's shadow stopped, looking at Ye Chen's eyes with a hint of fiery color. His body moved suddenly, and in the drizzle, a hissing sound rose sharply. The big man stepped out in an eerie, twisted, and lawless manner, like a poisonous snake, advancing towards Ye Chen. A long sword stabbed out halfway, emitting a sharp, piercing whistling sound.

  The force of the blow was so great that it reached this point, with eyes shrinking and stepping out, in the fine rain, two figures flashed by like a swift gust of wind, swift as a swift arrow, without shape or trace.

  The sword wind rose with the rain, carrying a terrifying aura as it escaped in all directions. On the bloody ground, several sword marks were left behind. At this moment, Ye Chen's figure was like a gentle breeze sweeping across the land, sometimes gentle and sometimes violent, dying and reborn. With one hand holding the sword, one sword came out, and all the sword shadows converged into one.

  That drifting misty fine rain cannot block out that sword light, at this moment, the entire sky and earth seem to have only this one extremely fast sword light left.

  The long sword flashed out, and the blood lotus splashed. The big man stared at the sword light in horror as it lightly swept across his neck, silently and soundlessly. Immediately, his eyes turned black, and his body fell powerlessly into the water pool, with the gushing blood dyeing the entire pool red. His shadow floated away, indifferently staring at the cold corpse.

  "Men die for wealth and birds for food; human hearts are always unable to resist the temptation of benefits!" Ye Chen shook his head.

  Head, hands and feet moved swiftly in the corpse's arms, then immediately took out several bottles of dan medicine. Seeing this, Ye Chen couldn't help but smile with relief. At present, the most needed thing for bitter practice in the abandoned domain was dan medicine.

  The dan medicine originally brought was consumed half a month ago. Now, all the dan medicine on his body came from these pursuers.

  Ye Chen was relieved to find that the assassin's body still had a yellow-grade intermediate martial skill book on him. He lightly scanned it, absorbed its essence, memorized the cultivation method, and a faint whirlwind slowly appeared. The yellow pages were instantly shredded, turning into fragments that scattered all over the ground with the rainwater.

  Nowadays, Ye Chen has mastered several yellow-grade intermediate martial skills and multiple yellow-grade primary martial skills in addition to Jian Qi Zhan, Feng Po Zhi, and Feng Ying Shen Fa.

  The rain has passed, and the overcast sky is gradually clearing up. The air after the rain appears exceptionally refreshing.

  The blood at the scene continued to drip, the bloody smell drifted away with the gentle breeze, and a commotion broke out all around, accompanied by the faint sound of beastly howls.

  The rumbling sound continued, and the strong breath rushed towards him. He slightly raised his eyes, and after several months of experience, Ye Chen gradually got used to the sudden changes in the wasteland. After tidying up a bit, he was about to jump away, but at that moment, his figure suddenly stopped, looking at the Qilin ring on his right finger in astonishment.

  At that moment, the Qilin ring slowly fell off from Ye Chen's fingertips and floated eerily in mid-air, with the surrounding white light gradually dissipating.

  A wave of heat spread out from the ring like a tide, and the puddles on the ground turned into wisps of white mist that rose slowly and surrounded the ring. Watching the changes in the ring, Ye Chen's face flushed with wild joy, and he faintly felt a familiar soul aura stirring and slowly awakening...

  Boom!

  Qilin's seal suddenly shook, a vast and terrifying aura fluctuated like a tidal wave spreading in all directions, the air trembled, triggering bursts of explosive sounds.

  At that moment, the wildly howling demonic beasts around him suddenly fell silent, their bodies trembling as they cowered to the ground, letting out a low hum.

  "The old master is back!" A loud and domineering dragon roar burst out from the Qilin Seal, immediately followed by a scorching hot wave mixed with terrifying flames that surged out from within. From afar, a sea of fire appeared in mid-air, and within it, a figure slowly emerged.

  That figure was unmistakably Huo Qilin's back, surrounded by the mournful wails that echoed across the entire sky.

  "Shut up for me!" Huo Qilin let out another roar, and several demonic beasts near Ye Chen suddenly exploded and died.

  He slightly licked his tongue, Ye Chen looked at the Huo Qilin floating in mid-air with a surprised expression. At this moment, Huo Qilin's entire body was emitting strange purple flames, and the temperature was so high that the air seemed to be distorted by the heat waves from afar. With a leap, he jumped onto a rock and said with a hiss: "Little Fire, how was your sleep? Refreshing?"

  Hu Qi Lin's copper bell-like eyes slowly fell on Ye Chen, and he couldn't help but smile: "Young man, how is the taste of Qian Chuan Xue that little girl?"

  A look of shock and anger flashed across Ye Chen's face, and he immediately leapt into the air, throwing a punch that shot towards Huo Qilin with a terrifying aura. However, before the aura could reach Huo Qilin, it was dispersed by the waves of energy emanating from him. Seeing the smile in Huo Qilin's eyes, Ye Chen couldn't help but roar: "You're so shameless, pretending to be unconscious and sneaking a peek at me! Does it feel good to spy on people?"

  "Hmph, I just love sneaking a peek. Heh heh, kid, you're pretty lucky to have broken through the Initial Martial Realm!"

  Lucky, Ye Chen couldn't help but glance at Bai Huo Qilin, this little guy hadn't been seen for months, and his words were still so humorous. He slightly shrugged his shoulders, somewhat helplessly saying: "Luck is indeed good, Xiao Huo, you've absorbed so many demon beast souls in a row over the past few months, what's the point of that? Are you trying to recover your strength?"

  "The old man's soul was originally severely damaged, but now after absorbing these small souls, the soul has actually improved, you haven't felt the old man's strength increase!" Huo Qilin said lazily, and immediately the surrounding sea of fire retreated like a tide towards Qilin's seal, in an instant there wasn't a single spark left in the air.

  The temperature also dropped several points, and the aura on Huo Qilin's body surged several points. The Kirin ring strangely flew towards Ye Chen, and then fell into Ye Chen's fingers.

  "Kid, you can barely handle the Blood Lotus in the Refining Martial Realm!" Huo Qilin exclaimed, and immediately a look of crazy joy surged onto Ye Chen's face...
