Immortal and Martial Supreme Master - Chapter 16

Chapter 16 Desolate Ancient Forest
The Desolate Ancient Forest was an ancient forest near Qingyuan City, covering an area of several million square kilometers. At the same time, it was one of the three forbidden areas of the Great Yan Empire.

There were a large number of desolate beasts living in the Desolate Ancient Forest. It was the gathering place of desolate beasts. Moreover, the closer one went to the center of the Desolate Ancient Forest, the more powerful the desolate beasts were. If an ordinary person entered it, they would undoubtedly die.

Desolate beasts were divided into five grades. They were divided into one to five grades, corresponding to martial artists, martial masters, martial sects, marquises, and martial emperors. As for those above the fifth grade, they could not become desolate beasts. Instead, they were called demonic beasts because they could transform into human forms.

It was said that there were powerful demonic beasts in the deepest part of the Desolate Ancient Forest, and human experts would die if they entered. Therefore, the Desolate Ancient Forest had always been listed as one of the three forbidden areas of the Great Yan Empire.

Of course, the forbidden area also meant that it contained a huge treasure trove. Not to mention the immortal herbs and divine medicines that could grow in this vast ancient forest, just those desolate beasts were covered in treasures.

For example, the First Grade Desolate Beast Wolf Fang Snow Pig. Its fur was the material that many wealthy women liked the most. It could sell for a thousand gold coins. The second thing he said was that Wolf Fang could be used to forge weapons, and its heart could be used as a medicinal ingredient to treat eye diseases.

So hunting a First Grade desolate beast, Wolfffang Snow Pig, means that you have earned nearly 3,000 gold coins, which is equivalent to the income of the Misty Cloud Tavern for a year.

However, the Wolf Fang Snow Pigs weren’t that easy to deal with. Although his offensive power was only equivalent to a Seventh Stage Heavenly Martial Artist, his defense was comparable to a Ninth Stage Heavenly Martial Artist, so even a Ninth Stage Heavenly Martial Artist wouldn’t be able to do anything to him.

Because of this, even though the Desolate Ancient Forest was so dangerous, there were still many martial cultivators who risked their lives to enter it in order to fight for their luck and obtain enormous wealth.

“Puchi!”

Qin Yun slashed his saber on the neck of the Wolf Fang Snow Pigs. The saber pierced into his body and blood splashed out.

This was already the sixth Wolf Fang Snow Pig that he had killed. From the beginning, his saber was unable to pierce through the thick fur of the Wolf Fang Snow Pig, until now, Qin Yun’s saber had directly pierced into the neck of the Wolf Fang Snow Pig. This was a great improvement.

‘”Hu, I’ve finally comprehended a level of the Concept of Wind. I’ve also created a move called Essence Severing. Although it hasn’t completely taken shape, it’s no less than a low-grade middle-grade martial skill. If it’s completely taken shape, this move will definitely reach a low-grade high-grade martial skill, or even be comparable to a low-grade middle-grade martial skill.”

Qin Yun heaved a sigh of relief and fell onto the grass by the river. This was the third day he entered the Desolate Ancient Forest.

During these three days, he had been tempering his saber technique and re-comprehending the Concept of Wind. This move was created by integrating the comprehension of the Concept of Wind into his saber technique.

Although it was only the first level of the Concept of Wind, for Qin Yun, it could be considered a great improvement.

In the past, because Qin Yun’s horizons were too high, the martial skills he cultivated were all at the Emperor level and above. Now, with his cultivation, he was simply unable to use those martial skills.

Back then, Qin Yun disdained cultivating low-level and middle-level martial skills at all. He only browsed through those that were interested. That was why Qin Yun did not display the strength he deserved in his previous battles.

To be able to kill Liu Yuanhai and Liu Pingshan, he had truly chopped off the Liu Clan’s Third Elder with his last sword strike, completely relying on the crushing of his sword techniques.

Right now, all Qin Yun needed to do was to start all over again, just like how he had cultivated the Thirteen Styles of the Saber Technique back then, step by step consolidating his foundation, so that he could display even more strength in the future.

“Now that I have used my saber technique to slash Yuan, I should be able to easily slay peak Ninth Heaven martial artists. If I were to use my full strength, even a First Heaven martial artist would not dare to take it head on. If I were to use my sword technique, I’m afraid I would be able to slay a Third Heaven martial artist.”

A smile appeared on Qin Yun’s fajce. Swordsmanship was his trump card. Unless he had no other choice, he would not attack easily. In ordinary battles, he only knew how to use the Saber Technique Scripture to temper himself.

Although the styles of saber techniques and sword techniques were different, they were essentially interlinked.

Back then, he had comprehended the Concept of Wind too roughly, but now that he had comprehended the Concept of Wind again, he actually felt like he was looking at the mountains through the clouds.

Of course, what surprised Qin Yun the most was that he had actually comprehended a trace of the Concept of Thunder. Although it was only a trace, and although he was still unable to display any strength, for Qin Yun, this was definitely a great leap forward.

“Eh? Someone!”

Right at this moment, Qin Yun suddenly felt a trace of voice coming from not far away. He immediately used Wind Shadow Steps and his entire body transformed into a cool breeze as he rushed to the nearby tree.

Wind Shadow Steps was a movement technique that Qin Yun had just cultivated recently. Although it was only a low-grade high-grade martial skill, because Qin Yun had comprehended the Concept of Wind, it took him only a day to cultivate Wind Shadow to the Perfection Stage. Now, it was as fast as the wind, and his speed was more than three times that of the past.

Just as Qin Yun hid in the shade of the tree, he saw two men appearing at the place where he was just now. They were both dressed in cyan cloth and had a word “Lin” embroidered on their chests.

“Qingxuan Town’s Lin Clan?” Qin Yun frowned and was puzzled in his heart, “What are the Lin Family disciples from Qingxuan Town doing here in the Ancient Desolate Forest? It looks like they are looking for something?”

Just as Qin Yun was puzzled, the conversation between the Lin Clan disciples gave him a glimmer of hope.

“Hey, where did that Qin Yun run off to? We quickly searched the area around the Qingning Town . Do you think he will leave Qingyuan City?” A fat youth said.

“I don’t think so. Look, this Wolf Fang Snow Pig hasn’t run out of blood yet. It’s obviously not long after it was killed. It’s very likely that Qin Yun killed it. Let’s look around nearby. Maybe we’ll run into him.” Another youth replied.

“En, let’s go and take a look over there!”

After saying that, the two of them quickly left.

Qin Yun watched as the two young disciples left, but his brows furrowed even deeper.

‘”Why would the Lin Clan look for me? I killed the young master of the Liu Clan. Isn’t it the Liu Clan that should be looking for me? Why would someone from the Lin Clan appear? Could it be that the Liu Clan and the Lin Clan are working together? But isn’t that wrong? Aren’t the three great clans of Qingyuan City at odds with each other? Why would they help the Liu Clan and shoot two Nine Heavens martial artists?”

Qin Yun suddenly felt a lot of doubt in his heart. He felt that there must be something fishy about it.

Previously, he had felt that something was wrong. He had killed the young master of the Liu Clan, but the Liu Clan did not move at all. He did not send a single person to chase after him.

It was absolutely impossible for him to believe that Liu Tianxin would give up revenge. Liu Tianxin was famous in the Qingning Town for taking revenge.

“There must be a conspiracy here. No, we must catch those two and ask them to see what the hell is going on with the Liu Clan.”

Qin Yun’s eyes flashed with a cold light, so keen that he immediately smelled a conspiracy.

“Hmph, Liu Tianxin, no matter what you do, I, Qin Yun, will accompany you to the end!”

Qin Yun snorted coldly, and then he used the Wind Shadow Steps again, swiftly rushing towards the direction where the two of them had left just now.
