Ultimate God of Swords - Chapter 48
Chapter 48 Within Binggu Mountain
Su Yun forgot the name of the outer steward. He only knew that it was a smooth old man. The rewards given to everyone by the outer steward were almost all deducted by him. He was mean and stingy. The Su outer steward’s family called him Old Fox behind his back.
The steward narrowed his eyes and looked at Su Yun who was walking over. His bark-like old face chuckled, “You’re finally here, Young Master Su Yun!”
Su Yun walked over, looked at the steward, then looked at the closed barrier behind him, and asked, “I wonder why the steward sent someone to bring me here?”
“What else can I do? On Lord Su Shilong’s orders, I will send you to the Bone Soldier Mountain to participate in the trial!”
“Participate in the trial?”
Su Yun was stunned.
“The clan trial is a big deal. It is open to all inner and outer clan disciples. There are countless benefits in the trial. What? Don’t you want to participate?” The steward glared.
“Of course not!” Su Yun said truthfully.
“Impudent!”
The old fox’s expression changed and he shouted, “As an outer disciple, you still want to refuse the mission given by the main family?” To tell you the truth, because you didn’t return to your clan in time, as a punishment, you won’t be able to receive the supplies provided by Lord Su Shilong. You can only receive five Poison Avoiding Pills and ten Fruit Belly Pills. Quickly enter! Lord Su Shilong has told you that you must participate in the trial! “We must not stay out of this!”
“Right now, I’m the only one!” A trace of anger flashed through Su Yun’s eyes, “I’m just a Spirit Mysterious Disciple. Entering this Bone Soldier Mountain alone is simply courting death! And this is all the supplies! Are you all trying to make me come back?”
“So you don’t want to go in?”
The old fox steward narrowed his eyes and said in a strange voice.
Seeing this, Su Yun felt that something was wrong in his heart.
He tentatively asked, “If I don’t go in… what about you guys?”
“How is it?” The old fox chuckled, “Lord Su Shilong has already given the order. You must participate in this trial and enter the Bone Armament Mountain. If you do not enter, you will disobey Lord Su Shilong’s order and resist the Su Clan! Your entire cultivation will be crippled immediately!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers guarding Binggu Mountain immediately stepped over and surrounded Su Yun.
As the guardians of the Su Clan’s forbidden area, their strengths were all above the fifth stage of the Spirit Profound Scholars. Their strengths were powerful and unfathomable. At present, Su Yun was absolutely unable to defeat these existences.
Su Yun focused, thought for a moment, then raised his head and said, “Since that’s the case, then I’ll go to Bone Soldier Mountain! But before that, can you let me go to the shop to buy some necessities?”
“No, you can only have these two pills! No other items are allowed to be prepared.”
The old fox chuckled.
Anger rose in Su Yun’s heart, but he did not reveal it to his face. He reached out his hand and grabbed the two small bottles of pills in the old fox’s hand, and walked towards Bone Mountain without saying a word.
“Open the barrier!”
The old fox shouted.
Coffee! ! ! ! ! ! !
A strange voice sounded.
It was as if the enormous blue barrier had split into two meters wide cracks on its own.
Su Yun hesitated a little, but in the end, he still walked in.
“Brat, in the past, Lord Su didn’t like you in the inner sect. Now that you’ve gone to the outer sect, you’re still so arrogant. How dare you kill Young Master Dongfang’s people! Hmph, let’s see how Lord Su Shilong will play you to death!”
The old fox stared at the back of Su Yun’s departing figure, the corner of his mouth curved into a sinister smile.
Very quickly.
There was no trace of Su Yun.
The old fox turned around, wanting to leave this place.
Whoosh!
At this moment, a sound of breaking through the air suddenly exploded, spraying out from the Bone Soldier Mountain’s barrier and attacking here.
“Master, be careful!”
The soldiers on the side shouted loudly.
The old fox turned around and looked, instantly terrified.
He only saw a slender flying sword flying towards him.
The treasured sword was slender and slender, glowing like autumn water. The cold aura was terrifying, and there was a ferocious and terrifying dragon mark on the sword’s body. When people saw this, they felt their scalps go numb and they felt very uncomfortable.
The old fox’s legs softened and he hurriedly retreated in fright. He was only an outer steward, and he was old. He didn’t have much cultivation. He had never seen such a fierce killing move before.
The few soldiers had never seen such a ruthless flying sword before.
Moreover, the sword was flying?
The swordsmanship of the Immortal Sword Sect? However, isn’t the Immortal Sword Sect’s Imperial Sword Technique only capable of carrying people to fly? Since when can it kill people?
The flying sword was about to pierce into the old fox’s heart, and a poisonous aura rippled out.
“Don’t hurt my lord!”
An armored soldier was quick-witted and didn’t get shocked by this strange attack. He immediately jumped out from the side and slashed towards the flying sword.
The flying sword was hacked into the air and kept spinning, but it did not land. Instead, it turned towards the old fox like it was alive.
This strange phenomenon was beyond everyone’s expectation.
The old fox couldn’t dodge. One of his arms was cut off, and blood sprayed out. He rolled on the ground a few times, screaming miserably, his face pale.
The other warriors also came to their senses. Seeing this situation, how could they dare to be stunned again? He hurriedly rushed over, picked up his weapon, and slashed at the strange flying sword.
However, the flying sword spun a few times in the air, stabilized, and then returned to the direction of the Bone Mountain of Soldiers. Before the barrier was closed, it flew into the shuttle and disappeared.
Bata!
He reached out his hand and grabbed the blood-stained Dragon Seal Sword. He looked at the old fox who had fainted from the intense pain. He turned around and walked towards the depths of the Bone Mountain of Soldiers.
Bone Soldier Mountain.
One of the biggest forbidden areas of the Su Clan.
As soon as they entered the Bone Soldier Mountain, they had to consume the Poison Avoiding Pill. The high-grade Poison Avoiding Pill provided by the Su Clan could last for a whole day.
However, relying on these was clearly not enough. Currently, he had nothing. The items in his storage ring were useless here. If he went deep into the Bone Soldier Mountain, his fate would probably be very miserable.
Since that’s the case, I don’t need to go deeper. I just need to wait at the edge. After the trial is over, I can leave. As for the Blood Dew Jade Crystal, I don’t care. I don’t have any hope of relying on it to enter the inner sect anyway.
After making his plans, Su Yun found a big rock at the edge and sat down cross-legged.
The journey from the Five-Colored Rock Lands to this place was bumpy, and he hadn’t recovered his’ Ling Shen Qi ‘properly. Now, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
The sun was setting, and the day passed quickly.
Throughout the day, apart from the sounds of explosions and screams coming from the Bone Soldier Mountain, nothing strange had happened.
Ling Shen’s aura quickly recovered. However, Su Yun did not dare to cultivate the ‘Ling Shen Qi’ here. Once his aura was used up, something unexpected would happen, and that would be terrible.
With nothing to do, Su Yun took out the ‘Heavenly Crystal’ and observed it.
‘Heavenly Crystal’ has been used once in the Bone Pride Sect and is currently recovering.
Nearly a month had passed since the 50th day, and the ‘Heavenly Crystal’ had recovered eighty percent of its original strength.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Su Yun’s mind.
Restore energy?
If it was said that the Heavenly Crystal was unable to use it because of lack of energy, then … if he took the initiative to inject energy into it, would it be able to speed up its recovery?
With this shocking thought, Su Yun hesitated for a long time. He wanted to summon the Sword Elder to inquire, but the Sword Elder was sleeping in the Limitless Sword Technique. Previously, killing the Giant Rock would give him a lot of strength, so it was really inconvenient to disturb him at this time.
After thinking for a while, he decided to give it a try.
Putting the Heavenly Crystal in his hand, Su Yun took a deep breath and covered the little black stone with his other hand. He calmed down and began to gently urge the ‘Ling Shen Qi’, instilling it into the stone.
Chip!
The sound of a rocket shuttling through the sky suddenly burst out from within the Heavenly Crystal.
Su Yun’s entire body trembled slightly, his fingertips seemed to be bitten by something, it was difficult to break free from the Heavenly Crystal, and the Qi Veins that released the Qi were also forcefully opened, a large amount of ‘Ling Shen Qi’ was instilled into it.
Su Yun was greatly shocked, he hurriedly pulled back his right hand and threw Tianqing to the ground.
However, the moment his palm left the Heavenly Crystal, he instantly fell to the ground. He didn’t have the slightest bit of strength, and his body was exceptionally weak, as if he was a seriously ill person.
“This is … what’s going on?” Su Yun weakly looked at the increasingly dark-colored ‘Heavenly Crystal’, his heart filled with doubt.
He sat up cross-legged with difficulty and returned to his original position to breathe a little before recovering a little.
He picked up the Heavenly Crystal and examined it carefully for a while, only to see that the energy within the Heavenly Crystal had actually recovered a little.
Could it really be effective?
However, what kind of profound spiritual aura would it take to fill the entire Heavenly Crystal to recover such a small amount of energy after instantly absorbing all of it?
Right now, the only magic treasure that could save his life was the Heavenly Crystal. He didn’t have many trump cards, and Ao Xin could only be used for cultivation. As for the Limitless Sword Technique, it was still very rare to see the first sword. It was best not to deal with those big shots.
After exhaling, Su Yun carefully put away the ‘Heavenly Crystal’. Of course, he did not dare to lose his Qi inside again. If he was not careful, he was not allowed to suck himself dry.
After spending the night cultivating on the boulder, Ling Shen Qi finally recovered 30% of its original strength.
At night, the entire Bone Soldier Mountain was terrifyingly dark.
The sky was hazy, and the stars and moons couldn’t penetrate. People’s eyesight was extremely low. It was unwise to act at night. Therefore, there was no movement in the Bone Soldier Mountain all night long. Even the roars of ferocious beasts were much less loud.
As dawn approached.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang…
A series of explosions woke Su Yun who was sitting cross-legged on the boulder.
Su Yun suddenly opened his eyes and looked up the mountain.
The sound of the explosion wasn’t far from here. From here, one could see dozens of large trees collapsing on the pitch-black hillside. A bit of the wind-attributed Spirit Qi mixed with the rotten smell of the Bone Soldier Mountain floated towards this place.
Was he a disciple of the Su Clan?
I’m afraid I’ve encountered some kind of beast, but it could also be a civil unrest.
The main clan gave the inner clan a mission. The inner clan steward, Su Shilong, allowed the outer clan to work for him with the qualifications to enter the inner clan. Although the Bone Soldier Mountain was dangerous, the reward was extremely attractive. How could the outer clan not fight for it? Although there weren’t many Blood Dew Jade Crystals in a thousand pieces, the Bone Soldier Mountain’s Blood Dew Jade Crystals were conservatively estimated to be less than 2,000 pieces. Apart from some extremely dangerous places, the Su Clan could only gather about 1,000 pieces of Blood Dew Jade Crystals.
Su Shilong was not a simple character. These inner disciples who had been called over from the inner sect to lead the team were probably also promised benefits. For the sake of benefits, an existence like him would do all kinds of unimaginable things.
For example, killing and seizing the Blood Dew Jade Crystal.
Huala.
At this time, the bushes beside the boulder suddenly rustled, and several figures rushed out.
Su Yun’s nerves jumped and he immediately pulled out the Dragon Seal Sword. His eyes were like cheetahs staring at the people rushing out.
The three men and two women were covered in blood, panting as they rushed out. They seemed to be on the run. Each of them held quite a few Blood Dew Jade Crystals in their hands. One of them was wearing a yellow robe, and the other was wearing a red long sleeve robe. Their eyes were filled with killing intent. The weapons in their hands were even stained with bright red blood.
Most of the ferocious beasts that grew in places like Bone Soldier Mountain were dark-colored species. They were close to magical creatures. Their blood was either black or blue, and very few were red.
Therefore, the blood on their weapons was very likely human blood.
The five of them rushed out, and when they saw Su Yun on the boulder, they were all stunned.
But very quickly, killing intent rose again in the eyes of the yellow-robed man. He raised the ring knife in his hand and walked towards Su Yun gently.
Su Yun’s eyes widened, “This fucking…”
