Huangxiu

Chapter 385 Toad
As he pondered, he slowly opened the dark soul-sealing box.

The next moment, a tremendous force descended from the sky, pressing down like a mountain, intended to crush him into powder.

The scales inside Chu Zhiyuan's skin lit up, instantly dispersing the violent power.

He straightened up and looked into the void.

A huge silver toad emerged from the void and stuck out its tongue towards him.

The tongue seemed to be infinitely long, reaching down from a thousand meters in the air or even higher, shooting towards him.

Chu Zhiyuan knew that this was just an illusion, not a real toad.

This long tongue is not a real object, but a concentration of power.

Otherwise, I would be dead by now.

He formed the Fearless Seal with his palms. The best way to deal with the alien forces from outer space was to fight poison with poison.

The Fearless Great Perfection Hand Seal drew down the power of the Fearless Realm, colliding with the toad in the void.

"Boom!" There seemed to be thunder in the void.

The toad slowly dissipated.

He let out a long sigh, and his whole body felt like it was falling apart in unbearable pain.

He took a deep breath and looked at the small toad statue in the Soul Sealing Box.

The pitch-black toad is only the size of a palm, exquisite and lifelike.

At first glance, it looks like a live toad that will jump out of the box at any time.

The slightly opened mouth seems as if the tongue is about to stick out.

Especially the eyes, which sparkled like gems and looked more like living things.

Chu Zhiyuan's face was solemn.

An invisible force shrouds it, making it impossible for super senses to fully see it, and it can only be seen with the naked eye.

No matter how you look at it, it's just a small gadget, not a valuable work, and it doesn't have any magical features.

Chu Zhiyuan frowned in thought.

The phantom that attacked him earlier was caused by this toad statue.

Is this a statue of a god?
Can it attract the alien forces from the void to descend and borrow them?

He couldn't help but wonder what the mystery of this toad was.
Why was he taken away by the disciples of the Tuntian Sect?

If it is so important, shouldn't it be placed somewhere important instead of being carried around with you?
Of course, it could also be that they were wary of each other and didn't trust each other, so it was safer to carry it with them rather than leaving it somewhere else.

Chu Zhiyuan stretched out his hand and slowly reached out to the dark toad, but suddenly stopped when he was about to touch it.

Just as I was about to touch the toad statue, I suddenly had a premonition that it was dangerous.

He looked at the black toad statue, thoughtfully.

Why do I feel dangerous? I have mastered scale refining now, and ordinary dangers no longer pose a risk to me.

He didn't even use the flying knife to test it, as the flying knife controlled his mind.

A small stone flew out of his sleeve and gently hit the mouth of the toad statue.

The pebble silently turned into powder and fell slowly onto the bed.

He flicked his sleeves.

At the same time, it can see the difference between the pebble and the powder, and what kind of power remains.

It was discovered that there was a strange smell flowing within these powders.

The gray powder was blown off the bed, flew out of the window, and fell onto the blue bricks outside.

"Chichi..."

A dense array of small pits appeared on the blue bricks, as if they were shot by countless arrows.

The light in the cave continued, and after these blue bricks did this, the smell in the powder completely disappeared.

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head.

The power emitted by this toad is not only extremely strong, but also insidious and hard to guard against.

If it weren't for my keen intuition about danger, I would not be able to defend against this silent force.

If my palm touches this statue, will it disappear silently?

Can the power of the refining scales withstand the power of the toad statue?
He was just about to try again with the flying knife when he suddenly realized something and quickly closed the Spirit Sealing Box.

After a moment, Su Qiuyan's voice rang out from outside: "Prince."

Chu Zhiyuan put the Soul Sealing Box into the iron ring and said with a smile, "Mr. Su, please come in."

Su Qiuyan's face appeared outside the window. Chu Zhiyuan had already taken the bed, and came out of the room with a fist clasped, saying with a smile: "Mr. Su, why bother to come here in person? I will go and get it myself."

Su Qiuyan smiled: "I am impatient, I will not feel at ease if I don't give it to you."

Chu Zhiyuan stretched out his hand and said, "Mr. Su, why don't you sit down and have a cup of tea."

Su Qiuyan smiled and shook her head, then took out a thick yellowed book from her sleeve and handed it to Chu Zhiyuan: "This is the sword technique I inherited. You can take a look at it as a reference. There is no need to practice it."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Mr. Su, have you ever practiced this?"

"I have practiced it." Su Qiuyan shook her head and said, "It was a mess. I almost ruined myself."

Chu Zhiyuan was puzzled.

Su Qiuyan said: "You will understand after reading it. It is full of contradictions and confusion."

"Then I'll study it." Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile.

Su Qiuyan clasped her fists and said, "Goodbye."

Before Chu Zhiyuan could clasp his fists and speak, Su Qiuyan disappeared in a flash.

Chu Zhiyuan looked at where she disappeared and sighed.

The grandmaster still crushes me. Let’s not talk about other things, just his lightness skills are so powerful.

If I didn't have super senses, I wouldn't be able to notice the Grand Master approaching me, let alone notice him in advance like I did now.

The Grand Master's advantage is not just one-sided, but comprehensive and multi-faceted.

……

He looked down at the thick yellowed volume.

This booklet, which is as thick as a brick, has obviously gone through a long time and is filled with a sense of vicissitudes.

He first looked at the first page, which had four large characters written on it: “Zhanxu Sword Technique”.

Chu Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows.

These four characters are the characters used today, not ancient characters.

Then he read it carefully and found that the whole text was in current language.

Obviously, this is a copy, not the original secret book.

As for where it was originally, there was no way to find out, otherwise Su Qiuyan would have already obtained it.

He wanted to see why even the great master Su Qiuyan was not optimistic about the Zhanxu Sword Technique.

After he finished reading the thick volume of more than a hundred pages in one breath, he closed his eyes and lay motionless.

He felt that he had gained a deeper understanding of swordsmanship.

The theory of the Zhanxu Sword Technique is extremely strange, and it seems to be contradictory.

But this contradiction is the change between reality and illusion.

Su Qiuyan felt that the contradiction was because she failed to distinguish the truth from the false.

When the virtual is made real, when the real is made virtual, the virtual and the real transform into each other at all times.

The real and the unreal are actually life and death, as well as yin and yang. If you don't understand this principle, it will be really confusing to read this sword technique.

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head.

It seems that the grand master is not necessarily profound and knowledgeable, and sometimes he looks very ignorant.

Especially his understanding of heaven and earth is indeed far from what I have now.

Chu Zhiyuan felt that this was most likely due to his education in his previous life, his knowledge of astronomy and physics, and the influence of Taoist and Buddhist theories.

This influence is invisible and changes one's own cognition unconsciously.

Without the environment of the previous life, it would be extremely difficult, almost impossible, to have these concepts in this world.

He felt that he understood the mystery of the sword technique very easily, but in the eyes of others, it was like reading a heavenly book.

The Zhanxu Sword Technique is indeed extremely mysterious.

Turn the virtual into real, and the real into virtual. If one really practices the swordsmanship to this level, it will be almost impossible to dodge.

Now if he wants his flying knife to hit the target every time, he needs to control the knife with his spirit, making it turn or even change speed.

If you have mastered the Zhanxu Sword Technique, you won't have to go through so much trouble.

At that time, all that is needed is a change in the void.

That is the real sword-wielding move that never misses its target.
