Mysterious World: I Have a Lost Heavenly Court

Lu Changqing finished his hand seal.

An invisible sonic attack erupted from between his palms and spread forward.

The skeleton soldiers, who were wandering aimlessly, were hit by the sonic wave, their bodies trembled, and they stopped in their tracks.

A sense of bewilderment seemed to flash in his lifeless eyes.

They all turned into wooden figures.

There was also a skeleton soldier whose body trembled, and finally its skeleton fell apart and it collapsed to the ground.

Only the giant with the broken sword, a hundred paces away, still reacted.

However, it was also affected by sound waves.

It suddenly stood up, appearing very agitated.

The instant the sound wave was unleashed, Lu Changqing strode forward like a cheetah pouncing on its prey!

Its powerful legs and agile movements left afterimages as it ran, and it arrived in front of the frozen skeleton soldiers almost instantly.

Pure Yang energy is revealed, with high-temperature white smoke adhering to the surface of the fist.

The Five Yin Falling God Fist's tricky and domineering fist wind howled out!

With a loud "boom," it crashed into a skeleton soldier.

The stunned skeleton soldier was quickly torn apart and turned into a pile of bones.

Having landed a successful blow, Lu Changqing twisted his waist and hips again, unleashing a second straight punch.

Another skeleton has been destroyed!

The skeletons that had been stunned by the sonic attack finally reacted and charged at him from the left and right.

But Lu Changqing remained calm and leaped into the air.

As he leaped high into the air, he kicked out with both legs, one in front and one behind, his toes landing precisely on the skull's forehead.

With a "snap," the skull separated from its neck, rolled twice on the ground, and the two skeleton soldiers were completely dead.

After those two kicks, a rainbow of light appeared in Lu Changqing's mind, which coalesced into words.

[The user effectively utilized the Hundred Ghosts Illuminating Divine Step in actual combat, increasing proficiency by 23.]

Martial Arts Skill: Hundred Ghosts Illuminating God Step (Beginner, 509/500)

[The master's proficiency in the Hundred Ghosts Illumination Step is maxed out. Do you wish to advance further?]

Yes!

Lu Changqing responded immediately without hesitation.

wow-

Countless pieces of information flooded into Lu Changqing's mind like a mighty river.

Many details of the Hundred Ghosts' Startling Step were elevated at this moment, including a completely new understanding of Qi and blood, as well as the use of muscles in the body.

At this moment, Lu Changqing looked up.

The giant with the broken sword, over three meters tall, had already taken large strides, causing the ground to tremble, and rushed in front of him.

The opponent picked up the broken sword blank, let out a silent roar, and slashed at Lu Changqing with a fierce wind.

The sheer force of the attack caused dust to swirl and dance on the ground even before the broken sword fell.

At this moment, Lu Changqing still maintained that solemn expression and did not dodge.

"Boom—"

The broken sword struck down, landing squarely on Lu Changqing.

But strangely, the broken sword's blade passed straight through Lu Changqing's body and struck the ground, leaving a deep scratch several tens of centimeters long.

Lu Changqing's figure appeared behind the giant with the broken sword.

Looking at the spot where he had just been standing, he couldn't help but show a mixture of joy and surprise on his face.

The good news is that he can now finally display some of the unique features of the Hundred Ghosts Illuminating God Step, just like Wu Lin!

With such high-speed bursts, it can even leave afterimages in the same spot!

What's alarming is that this giant with the broken sword is far stronger than an ordinary skeleton soldier. If this attack were to land on him, he would surely die and be sent back to the Great Qian Dynasty.

His mind raced with thoughts, but his actions never ceased.

He touched the ground with his toes again, pushed off hard, and left a dent in the spot.

He leaned forward and charged toward the broken sword giant's hind ankle with incredible speed.

Pull your shoulders and elbows back, and clench your fist to build up strength.

Qi and blood, along with pure Yang energy, converged to their peak at this moment, gathering entirely on the surface of the right fist.

A powerful and fiery punch was thrown out fiercely, landing on the broken sword giant's ankle, which was not covered by armor.

"Click—"

A sound of bone cracking rang out.

The broken sword giant's right ankle was immediately damaged, and its massive body staggered as a result.

But only there.

The giant with the broken sword seemed to be enraged because it had been injured by Lu Changqing, a reptile.

He immediately roared, and with a sudden twist of his waist, he swung the broken sword he was gripping—

"call!"

The sword blade was still at least three to five steps away from Lu Changqing, but the rushing wind was already causing his clothes to flutter continuously.

The offensive was formidable.

Knowing he couldn't take the blow head-on, Lu Changqing immediately pointed his toes forward and flipped backward in mid-air, dodging the deadly attack.

But even before landing, the three-meter-tall giant's absolute advantage in arm span immediately came into play.

His left hand, which was not holding a sword, immediately grabbed Lu Changqing, who was about to fall.

The next moment, everything went black before Lu Changqing's eyes.

...

When Lu Changqing opened his eyes again, he had already returned to the Great Qian Dynasty.

At this moment, there was no sense of defeat on his face.

It only evokes feelings of joy and excitement.

Five days.

Through intense, life-or-death training in the ancient ruins every night, his footwork was perfected in just five days!

His boxing skills have also greatly improved.

[Martial Arts Skill: Five Yin Falling God Fist (Beginner, 301/500)]

Even if Lu Changqing didn't understand the speed at which this skill could improve, he knew it was a speed that ordinary people could not achieve!

Recalling his brief outburst and the afterimage he left behind, his heart raced again, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of exhilaration!

If we were to go back to a few days ago when I faced Zheng Tian, ​​he probably wouldn't even be able to see my true form before he was blasted to death!

Similarly, in addition to a significant improvement in technique.

Now he has received an even more crucial piece of information:

He has a chance to defeat the Broken Sword Giant!

This is very important to Lu Changqing!

The impression he had of the heretical people in the Taoist temple was truly terrifying.

The other person just breathed on him, and he died and came back to life.

But he still had the ability to fight back against the giant with the broken sword.

And your punch can also cause damage to the opponent!

Looking at it this way, how could it not be good news!

Calm your mind, suppress your excitement and joy, and carefully review the situation for a few moments.

Lu Changqing was certain.

Once I've mastered the fist techniques and reached the second level of body refinement, breaking bones, killing this broken sword giant will be no problem!

At most, you can use the supernatural points two or three times to deplete the opponent's health!

Perfect timing! In the days leading up to this breakthrough, I can further refine my iron-forging skills.

Once the sword blank is in hand, it can be directly crafted into a natal spirit sword!

Thinking about this, Lu Changqing felt that all the hardships he had endured these past few days had not been in vain.

The only thing we still need to pay attention to is...

One cannot simply slack off on the quality of cultivation just to break through to the Second Refinement Bone-Breaking Realm.

He must also reach the ultimate level of the Water and Fire Immortal Robe!

When practicing skin training, you still need to be fully focused.

And so he closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep, filled with joy and contentment.

...

The next day.

The sky was bright.

In the courtyard, against a corner of the wall, there is a forging platform that Qingyun built a few days ago.

Lu Changqing was holding an iron hammer and constantly striking the sword blank that was being heated over a raging fire.

time flies.

After striking the sword blank with all his might for less than a quarter of an hour, Lu Changqing immediately stopped, quickly grabbed the hilt of the sword blank with his left hand, pulled it out forcefully, and then inserted it into the cooling water bucket next to him.

"laugh--"

After the sound of water extinguishing the flames, the weapon took shape.

Lu Changqing took out the already formed iron sword and stared at it intently.

The sword is sharp, and the material of the blade is not very impurity.

The clean blade reflected a cold light under the sun, dazzling and intimidating.

Lu Changqing swung his hand forcefully at the piece of wood beside him.

"Snap!"

The wood was broken, but the blade remained intact.

It was already considered a fine sword!

"Young Master, you're amazing! Your talent for forging weapons is incredible too!"

Qingyun's praise came over, and the charming girl, with a fragrant breeze, came close to Lu Changqing and used a handkerchief to wipe the sweat stains on his face that had been baked by the stove fire.

"He mastered the essence of sword forging in just six days."

"Once you reach the second realm of cultivation, you will definitely be able to forge a spiritual sword that perfectly matches your own body on your own."

Hearing this praise, Lu Changqing smiled and did not deny it.

Compared to cultivating Taoism and practicing martial arts, he truly possesses a unique talent for forging iron and creating weapons.

The sword I have now could easily fetch three to five taels of silver if sold outside.

But for Lu Changqing's own standards, it was still not enough.

Because his goal was very clear: if he was going to use something, he wanted to use the best!

His natal spirit sword will accompany him throughout his cultivation journey, so he must strive for perfection in weapon forging.

For example, the blade is too thick, making it somewhat heavy. If the blade is too thin, it will be damaged by swings...

After practicing for a while, Lu Changqing put down what he was doing and decided to practice his stance training.

Martial Arts Skill: Hundred Birds Stance (Beginner, 387/500)

During this time, in addition to clearing out the skeleton soldiers at the bottom of Falling Star Cliff, he also collected a lot of Iron Armor Fruits to help with skin training.

However, compared to the amazing effect when I first used Iron Fruit, the effect wasn't as dramatic this time.

It's likely that the increased skin strength necessitates a greater demand for medication.

but...

The speed of progress is also incredibly impressive!

In another seven to ten days at most, he will be able to raise his proficiency in the Hundred Birds Stance to the next level.

The only thing that could stop him was the ultimate realm of "Water and Fire Immortal Robes".

Once the Skin Refining Realm reaches its peak, the Broken Sword Giant should be able to be dealt with!

...

Time flew by, and it was evening.

After dinner, Lu Changqing and Qingyun exchanged various cultivation experiences inside the house.

Occasionally, there are flirtatious and playful moments, as well as everyday events.

Just then, they suddenly heard a very clear commotion coming from outside the courtyard, with occasional angry shouts and exclamations.

Upon hearing this, Lu Changqing's expression changed.

Qingyun's face was also filled with surprise and doubt. She took the initiative to say, "Young Master, please don't go out. I'll go and see what's going on."

As soon as she finished speaking, Qingyun didn't hesitate for a moment. She spat out her natal spirit sword, got up, and opened the door.

But just as she opened the door...

A chilling aura, making Lu Changqing feel extremely uncomfortable, rushed towards Qingyun's male concubine!

"Watch out!" Lu Changqing couldn't help but whisper a warning.

Qingyun reacted quickly; the moment the chilling aura swept over her, she immediately held her spirit sword in front of her face.

With a soft "bang," Qingyun was knocked back two steps by the impact.

At the same time, the thing struck by the Light Cloud Spirit Sword let out a shrill scream and then vanished without a trace.

Lu Changqing quickly walked up behind Qingyun: "Are you alright?"

Qingyun shook her head solemnly, her gaze still fixed on the courtyard outside.

But the next moment, she exclaimed, "Young Master, look!"

Lu Changqing followed Qingyun's gaze and was surprised to see a shrine about 20 or 30 centimeters high in the courtyard.

The shrine enshrines an evil god with arms hanging down to the ground, long fingernails, and a ferocious face.

His pupils bulged outwards, he had extremely large eye bags, a stubble beard, and a terrifying smile.

Lu Changqing's pupils contracted, and the image of Lu Ri asking Wu Lin to deliver something outside the city a few days ago when he returned from the mine flashed into his mind.

It was that shrine of the evil god!

"Didn't Uncle Wu send this thing out of the city? How come it's back again!"

Lu Changqing was surprised and puzzled.

His heart stirred slightly as he sensed once again a chilling aura emanating from the shrine, hurtling towards him and Qingyun!
