Chapter 89 Sky-Splitting Sparrow (Blue)

[Deduction successful. Your avatar "Radiant Sparrow (Green)" has been promoted to "Sky-Splitter Sparrow (Blue)," gaining the "Sky-Splitter" talent.]

[Remaining Spiritual Energy: 1024 points.]

...

"It's done!"

Liu Sheng slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, his heart surging with emotion.

His eyes were filled with weariness, his cheeks were streaked with tears, and he stared blankly into the void ahead, lost in thought.

The two hundred years of deduction were much longer than his two lifetimes combined, leaving him unable to calm down for a long time.

Fortunately, with the system's support, after the deduction was completed, all memories faded and were sealed away...

Mangshan, Baiying, Baiyu, Luoxia Daoren, Dahe, and others have ultimately become blurred marks on yellowed paper.

Humans live in the present moment.

"It's become a demon!"

The twilight faded from Liu Sheng's eyes, replaced by a burst of divine light, and his face was filled with joy.

This is his first demon-level incarnation, which will give his strength a qualitative leap.

At least when facing General Xie Bao, the Demon Subduer, and his white elephant, they wouldn't be unable to escape.

As usual, let's first look at the introduction after the upgrade—

【Sky Sparrow (Blue)】

[Introduction]: There is a demon in Mangshan, which resembles a sparrow and an eagle. It often perches on cliffs to observe the water. Its cry is like a sob, and its bones are covered with demonic patterns.

It is ten feet tall, with blue feathers and white plumage, a silver-white feathered crest on its head, eyes like red gold, wind rising from beneath its wings, and is skilled in demonic arts, capable of cutting down hills and mountains.

You have gained the "Sky Sparrow" talent.

The effects of the talents "Hawk Form," "Blade Heart," and "Flowing Light" have been greatly enhanced.

"The previous talent enhancement effect... has been greatly improved?"

With a slight thought, he jumped up several meters into the air, then adjusted his posture slightly and glided forward for nearly a hundred steps before slowly landing on the ground!
Throughout the entire process, he didn't even exert much force!

At the same time, the profound meanings of the scriptures, such as "Black Tiger Splitting Wind Blade" and "Hawk Ascending to Heaven Skill," suddenly flooded my mind.

It was as if a wonderful sound was ringing in my ears, and all the obstacles and difficulties that I had encountered before suddenly became clear, like an epiphany, and everything was under my control, turning into instinct.

A domineering and sharp sword intent gathered in his heart.

Black Tiger Rifting Wind Blade, its true essence fully realized!
He suddenly turned around, like a hawk doing a somersault, nimbly dodging and weaving.

In the rise and fall, the body is drawn like a bow, extended like an arrow, the palms and fingers like a beak, poking eyes and locking throats, chasing and striking shadows.

Every move was fluid and graceful, a delight to behold.

In a daze, one might even mistake it for a hawk frolicking in the mountains and forests.

In just a short while, he mastered this martial art.

Even better, with a few more practice sessions, you can grasp the true meaning!
"I never expected that this avatar would improve so directly and rapidly after ascending to the level of a demon. Just how powerful will its newly acquired talents be?"

Liu Sheng couldn't wait any longer. He clicked on the introduction and saw—

【Sky Rift (Talent)】: The wind blade cleaves the sky, sweeping away the clouds. Those who possess "Sky Rift" can consume their health to condense an invisible blade of energy.

This blade energy is invisible and traceless, difficult to detect and difficult to resist.

……

"Invisible sword energy?"

With a thought, Liu Sheng instantly consumed 70% of his internal energy, transforming it into a terrifying force.

Powerful and sharp, it seemed as if it would burst out of his body at any moment and tear him to pieces.

"go with!"

In his shock, he casually flicked his finger forward.

"puff!"

A hundred feet away, the towering, smooth cliff emitted a muffled sound, and dust rose lightly, revealing a knife mark.

It is about three feet long and... its depth is unknown.

hiss!
Liu Sheng gasped. He had clearly seen with his "hawk's eye" that the knife marks on the cliff had appeared without any warning.

It appeared silently and suddenly.

"It's an excellent method for sneak attacks and assassinations, even killing someone while laughing. This old cunning bastard is a master of martial arts!"

His gaze shifted, and the corners of his mouth turned up, an expression he couldn't suppress.

This is perfect for me!
The only drawback is that it consumes too much energy.

A single invisible blade of energy consumed seventy percent of his vital energy.

At present, it can only be used as a backup plan.

At this moment, his cultivation broke through the internal organs and stabilized, transforming him into a demon and possessing combat power comparable to a Qi Refiner.

The condition has never been better.

So, the only ones who will suffer are the rivals! "There's still some time before dawn, so it's time to settle things."

He looked up at the sky, and white mist rose from beneath his feet.

In an instant, a gust of wind arose, and a demonic bird appeared on the spot—

Its size is ten zhang, resembling both a sparrow and an eagle, with blue feathers and white plumage, a silver-white crest on its head, and eyes like red gold, majestic and handsome.

Split Sky Bird!

The next moment, a fierce howl soared into the sky, a demonic wind roared, and clouds surged.

The demonic bird had vanished from the spot, leaving no trace.
-
The Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation, the "Gate of Life" camp.

After Liu Sheng escaped, Zhang Mubai instructed the hunters to erase all traces of their actions, and the entire camp has now been restored to its original state.

Furthermore, they adopted a unified narrative, claiming that Liu Sheng had gone missing after going out on his own.

Therefore, they didn't even touch Liu Sheng's tent, leaving it as it was.

Several hunters on night duty patrolled the camp and then gathered together to chat and pass the time.

“Miss Nalan, she has just entered Young Master Zhang’s tent…”

A hunter's face darkened with a strange expression, and he lowered his voice:

“I remember she went to Liu Sheng’s camp in the first half of the night.”

“Miss Nalan is a young lady from the prestigious Nalan family of Lu’an, it’s too much…”

The hunter next to him hesitated, but seeing the other person's face darken, he immediately shut up.

This person was born into the Nalan family's retainers.

"Cough cough."

The person who started the conversation coughed twice and quickly changed the subject:

"For the past two days, Commandant Du has been nowhere to be seen. It is said that he has discovered the whereabouts of that villain and is driving him this way."

Have you ever seen that man? I've heard he possesses unparalleled swordsmanship and superhuman strength; in his youth, he reportedly killed a tiger demon with his bare hands.

"Most of the rumors circulating in the martial arts world are just hearsay and cannot be taken seriously."

Back then, even those at the Bone and Tendon Realm were extremely rare. If it were a few decades ago, you and I would both be 'masters,' but now we're nothing more than slaves and servants..."

"Tell me, what is Liu Sheng's background? How did he manage to escape from Young Master Zhang and the other young masters and ladies?"

I heard he was just an ordinary villager before?

"In my opinion, it's either a lie or an extraordinary talent, but I think 'lying' is more likely... Why is the wind picking up?"

As they were still talking, a sudden gust of wind swept around them.

The wind was strange; it seemed to have come from the sky and swept across the entire camp in an instant, blowing sand and stones, and making the dust obscure our vision.

"what is that?"

At that moment, a hunter nearby glanced up and froze on the spot, his eyes filled with terror and despair.

A massive black shadow arrived on the wind, its aura as deep and unfathomable as a prison.

The hunters' minds went blank for a moment, their muscles went numb, their legs trembled, and they were unable to move.

"who?"

At that moment, a crane's cry rang out, and Zhang Mubai rushed out of the tent, his clothes disheveled.

Behind him, Nalan Rou followed out with a look of fear on her face, cold sweat dripping down her cheeks.

Then, they heard the sound of wind.

High in the sky, the clouds parted, letting down a ray of blue light, like a celestial blade cleaving through the void and enveloping the entire camp.

"Demon!"

Zhang Mubai's face turned deathly pale as he gritted his teeth and gripped the jade pendant at his chest.

In an instant, a crane-shaped yellow glow bloomed from the jade pendant, protecting him within it.

"Brother Mu Bai..."

Nalan Rou was overjoyed and rushed forward, wanting to hide inside, but met Zhang Mubai's cold eyes.

"This pendant is only enough to protect me alone."

He said it casually and pushed Nalan Rou away.

The next moment, a blue light descended—

"boom!"

Thank you for the generous donation from fellow Daoist "Core Formation Realm Bookworm"! May the Heavenly Venerable bestow boundless blessings!
Also, Chapter 84 has been released from the "black box" (a euphemism for being restricted or restricted). I would be very grateful if those who didn't subscribe yesterday could help subscribe and lower the average subscription rate.

I need to be more careful when driving from now on. I can't even use idioms that I can easily associate with driving. As a result, I'll have to revise a lot of the later chapters.

It's a pity, a lamentable thing.

Boundless Heavenly Venerable.
