I became a Sword Emperor in the Martial Arts World

Chapter 117 Good things should be shared

The eerie, ghostly forest is shrouded in mist. Even during the day, it remains gloomy and dark, never seeing sunlight.

At this moment, a fierce battle is breaking out here.

"Watch out, it's about to start its dive bombing!"

"Scatter, everyone!"

Xu Yuebing, Zhu Jinfeng, Lei Ang, and Miao Yi are fighting against a strangely shaped bird.

The strange bird is enormous; including its tail feathers, it is over four meters long.

Its body shape is similar to that of a chicken, with a white head, rat-like feet, and tiger-like sharp claws.

This strange bird is the Qique, a rare bird among rare birds and animals. It is extremely ferocious and seems to have a special fondness for eating people, and will attack humans on sight.

With a piercing cry, the magpie leaped into the air, then glided using its wings, its body hurtling towards the ground.

Its feathers burst into flames, like a giant fireball, and hurtled towards Miao Yi.

Rumble~

A violent explosion occurred on the ground, raising a large cloud of dust.

"Miao Yi!"

"I'm fine!"

At the critical moment, Miao Yi dodged the fatal blow with lightning speed, then drew his knife and said, "I'll hold it off. You guys launch a surprise attack from the flank and destroy its wings."

"good!"

Xu Yuebing and Zhu Jinfeng responded in unison, and Leon immediately began to gather his strength, preparing to unleash a powerful lightning-type move.

As for Xu Yuebing and Zhu Jinfeng, they kept things in check from the sidelines, one ice and one fire, one on the left and one on the right, constantly causing trouble for the sparrow.

The Snowdrift Sword flashed with a cold light, combining the power of wind and the power of darkness in a single strike, a wind-bladed sword and a frost-covered blade.

The sword on the Danchi Mountain shimmered with flames, its fire and lightning clashing in a single strike, the sky ablaze with intense thunder.

Despite possessing the formidable physique of a professional martial artist, the pheasant, caught between ice and fire, suffered considerable injuries. Its wings were repeatedly damaged, large patches of feathers fell out, and its body sustained extensive frostbite and burns.

The magpie cried out in fury and tried to turn around to attack Xu Yuebing and Zhu Jinfeng.

At this moment, Miao Yi made a move.

He assumed a posture with his chest tucked in, back straight, abdomen drawn in, and buttocks tucked in. Then, with a knife at his waist, he propelled the knife forward, moving as fast as the wind and as fierce as a wolf.

The Miao sword in his hand moved seemingly slowly but actually swiftly, against the wind, and slashed out with a resounding clang.

The Miao sword, the wind, the rushing wolves!

puff~

Miao Yi slashed the magpie's chest with his sword, instantly scattering broken feathers and splattering blood. The sword left a half-meter-long wound, deep enough to expose bone, a bloody mess.

The magpie let out a mournful cry and took several steps back.

At this moment, Leon had gathered his strength, and his powerful inner energy of thunder was about to bloom. As he drew his sword, it suddenly burst into a magnificent flower of thunder.

"Hahaha, this corrupt world will be shattered by my sword!"

Lightning, sparks.

As far as the eye could see, there was only a dazzling white light that stole away all the colors in the world.

Thunderous Force, a high-level martial art, Thunder Shatters Dreams!

The thunder of the Awakening of Insects, like tearing apart a dreamlike bubble, destroyed everything in front of it.

The magpie was already badly injured, and then it was hit by Leon's powerful attack. Finally, it cried out and fell to the ground, still emitting white smoke after death, with a faint arc of electricity flashing by.

"Hahaha, am I that powerful now?"

Leon stood triumphantly on the sparrow's corpse, like a hero awaiting flowers and applause.

Miao Yi ruthlessly shattered his beautiful dream, cursing, "You idiot, get your stinky feet off that sparrow right now! We're going to roast its meat later, or you can have the dirty parts!"

"Damn, is this how you treat a hero?"

"What kind of hero are you? If we hadn't been holding back the sparrow, you would have been pecking at it until you were screaming in pain by yourself. Do you think you're Ye Qingzhou?"

Miao Yi put away his Miao knife, then took out a sharp dagger and began skillfully dissecting the carcass of his prey.

Especially the special organs on the pheasant's body that are rich in vital energy, these are the most valuable parts, which can be taken back to the camp and exchanged for a large number of points.

It's important to know that official martial arts points are very valuable; they can be redeemed for many good things that money can't buy.

When the time comes, whether you use it yourself or resell it, you can make a fortune.

Leon then looked at Ye Qingzhou, who was leisurely standing to the side, and couldn't help but ask, "Master Ye, the battle was so intense just now, how were you able to refrain from intervening?"

Ye Qingzhou shook his head: "If I were to take action, you would not have the opportunity to gain experience."

For Ye Qingzhou, the pheasant in front of him was a matter of a single sword strike.

Although he may seem to be at the level of martial arts apprentice, his physique is incredibly strong. In particular, the "Refining Gold in Fire" technique not only enhances defense but also greatly strengthens muscle resilience, which means that Ye Qingzhou can output even greater power.

In recent days, he led Xu Yuebing, Zhu Jinfeng, Lei Ang and Miao Yi, a five-person team, to go on a crazy farming spree in several secret realms within Lingyun Cave Heaven, causing many rare birds and beasts there to suffer terrible misfortune.

The five of them were like a locust swarm passing through, leaving nothing but barren land in their wake.

However, Ye Qingzhou still failed to break through the fire's power to a superb level, even though his strength was increasing every day and he was getting stronger every moment.

However, simply increasing the power is clearly not the key to whether the fire can reach a state of sublime mastery.

"What exactly is missing?"

As Ye Qingzhou was pondering, a thunderous tiger's roar echoed through the mountains and forests, startling the crows in the woods into flight.

roar~

"Damn, it's Ghost Tiger!"

"We can't be that unlucky, can we?"

Leon gripped his longsword tightly, already contemplating escape, muttering, "We have a bright future ahead of us; we can't die here. Should we just abandon our things and run?"

Miao Yi, unusually, agreed with Leon's suggestion: "Let's retreat. Ghost Tiger was probably attracted by the scent of the sparrow's blood. As long as we leave, it shouldn't pursue us."

Seeing that Ye Qingzhou was advancing instead of retreating, Xu Yuebing quickly called out, "Ye Qingzhou, what are you doing?"

"No one can take anything from me, not even a ghost."

Ye Qingzhou strode forward, heading in the direction from which the tiger's roar came.

Before long, a massive, armored, half-human black tiger appeared in everyone's sight. It carried a two-meter-long sword at its waist and was over three meters tall. Its gaping maw revealed gleaming white teeth that sent chills down one's spine.

Ghost Tiger!

The King of the Eerie Ghost Forest!

According to the information provided by Weng Tiejun, the Ghost Tiger is a terrifying beast with the power of a half-step master. Those killed by it will become its accomplices and be enslaved by it.

roar~

Ghost Tiger let out a furious roar. These humans dared to kill the rare bird it kept here. They deserved to die!

That's right, the sparrow that Leon killed was its prey that it kept in the forest. Once the sparrow had grown to a certain level, the Ghost Tiger would personally hunt it down and turn it into its accomplice.

However, the prey that should have belonged to it has now been intercepted by a few humans!

You all must die!

Ghost Tiger's punch landed with a furious roar, accompanied by scorching flames and overwhelming power, like a cannonball fired from a gun.

"Excellent boxing skills!"

Ye Qingzhou couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. He had never imagined that he could see such a superb punch coming from a tiger.

Ding~

As Longyuan was drawn, Ye Qingzhou parried with his sword, simultaneously using his self-created defensive martial art, swaying like a willow in the wind.

The combined moves of Wind and Forest styles bring speed and skill to their fullest potential, with the body swaying, waist and abdomen twisting, and power transmitted through the feet.

He redirected Ghost Tiger's attack to the ground beneath his feet, and the ground, unable to withstand the force of Ghost Tiger's punch, cracked open.

roar~

Unable to strike, Ghost Tiger grew even angrier. It spun around and threw a punch, the size of a clay pot, with the force of a sweeping army.

This punch, with its concentrated power and surging, intense anger, perfectly combines strength and emotion, evoking a strange and profound feeling.

Just one glance is enough to feel the surging force of a fist called anger.

"What powerful punches!"

Ye Qingzhou's eyes lit up. He had been pondering how to achieve a state of divine mastery in controlling fire, and now he had found the answer in the ghost tiger in front of him.

"I see!"

Simple power has its limits, but the sublimation of the soul is endless.

Therefore, strength must be combined with emotion. Use the "emotion" in your heart to sublimate the power of your body and inject surging emotions into your martial arts.

This is the ultimate secret of controlling fire!

By burning your emotions, you can gain endless power!

Ye Qingzhou was an orphan in her previous life and grew up in a cold social environment, so she was indifferent to emotions and therefore could not understand the mystery of divine power for a long time.

Even with such a cold and indifferent nature, Ye Qingzhou still had her own moments of emotion.

Having been bullied since childhood, he learned to take up arms to protect himself at a very young age.

At first, he used a wooden stick.

Later, he used a longsword.

"I don't like the feeling of losing, because only by winning can I survive!"

The will to win!

The ambition to find the sword!

This is Ye Qingzhou's most intense emotion, and also his original intention in wielding the sword.

Now, he wants to infuse this intense emotion into his swordplay.

Immediately, facing the whistling wind of the fist, Ye Qingzhou closed his eyes and a thought arose in his mind: "A thousand years have passed."

At this moment, his mind was racing, time seemed to stretch out to its limit, and countless thoughts and ideas rose and fell like waves.

Only after Ye Qingzhou had sorted out all his thoughts and figured out the path he should take did he finally open his eyes, which were now brimming with light.

The realm of divine power is achieved!

Fire refines true gold, and its power can uproot mountains and rivers!

This is the divine sword that Ye Qingzhou comprehended, the ultimate emotion, the ultimate power. It is a sword that unites body and mind. Even before it is unleashed, the surging power has already made Ghost Tiger tremble with fear.

First gear!

Divine power!

Fire, rising dragon!

Before Ghost Tiger could retract its attack, Ye Qingzhou's sword had already slashed at its swinging left arm.

It was a sword strike without any fancy moves, yet it was a strike of pure emotion, surging spirit, and unwavering determination.

Ghost Tiger's left arm, as strong as refined steel, snapped off instantly!

roar~

With a mournful roar, the Ghost Tiger paid a terrible price for its momentary underestimation of its enemy.

Without hesitation, it drew its tiger-headed broadsword from its waist, first raising it high with a seemingly slow but actually fast motion, then, like a mountain collapsing and a jade pillar being overturned, it slashed down heavily at Ye Qingzhou.

Mountain terrain, intermediate-level martial arts technique, cliff!

Tigers are the kings of the mountains and forests, so they have a great advantage when using mountain and forest martial arts techniques.

Ghost Tiger's strike, which broke the cliff, had reached the pinnacle of power. Even with Dragon Abyss in hand and Golden Body protecting him, Ye Qingzhou was severely injured by the blow.

Because the attack from the cliff is not just a slash, but also contains a strong shockwave.

This vibration is powerful enough to reach the internal organs. Ye Qingzhou's golden body training currently only focuses on the bones and muscles, and has not yet reached the internal organs.

In an instant, Ye Qingzhou had already sensed the strength of his opponent through his cicada senses and realized that he could not withstand the attack head-on.

Without hesitation, he immediately activated the opening and closing of his dantian, causing his internal energy to explode continuously in his dantian like popping beans, and his body quickly entered a full-power state.

First gear!

Speedy!

The wind blows, the dragon soars!

With the ambition to reach the heavens, we soar to the heavens like dragons!

Ye Qingzhou's body instantly entered the realm of sound speed, and instead of retreating, he advanced, stepping forward and slicing open Ghost Tiger's abdomen with his sword. He leaped behind his opponent, then turned around and delivered a diagonal slash, tearing open a large piece of flesh from Ghost Tiger's back.

If its tiger bones weren't so hard, this sword strike could have severed its spine.

roar~

Ghost Tiger gushed out black, foul blood. The intense pain drove it into a rage. It turned around and slashed horizontally, trying to cut Ye Qingzhou in two.

Clouds follow the dragon, wind follows the tiger!

Ghost Tiger is not slow. With the help of the wind, it also entered the realm of supersonic speed by relying on its powerful external physique, and its attacks are as fast as lightning.

clang clang ~

The Sonic Sword battles the Sonic Blade.

The man and the tiger exchanged dozens of blows in the eerie forest, fighting back and forth until they reached the depths of the forest. The intense shockwaves stirred up a powerful wind that could topple large trees.

The loud noise lasted for a full quarter of an hour before Ye Qingzhou returned alone, his face beaming with satisfaction and joy.

Xu Yuebing stepped forward with a worried expression to check Ye Qingzhou's injuries: "Are you alright?"

"I suffered a minor internal injury, it's nothing serious."

Ye Qingzhou smiled calmly; he had benefited greatly from this battle.

Leon stepped forward in surprise: "Master Ye, where's Ghost Tiger?"

Ye Qingzhou shook his head: "It ran away, it'll probably leave the Yinfeng Ghost Forest. Honestly, I just wanted to kill it, I never thought about taking its territory."

Everyone was speechless: "If I were Ghost Tiger, I would run away too."

Xu Yuebing then asked Ye Qingzhou, "So, are you going to continue with us to raid Echo Valley and Fengling Ferry?"

Ye Qingzhou shook his head: "You guys go ahead. By the way, I'm leaving for three days. When you go back to camp, remember to tell the instructor for me."

Xu Yuebing immediately tensed up; "Are you planning to explore some other dangerous 'dead zones'?"

"no."

Ye Qingzhou didn't say anything more, and Xu Yuebing didn't ask any further questions, only reminding him, "Remember to be careful."

"Um."

Ye Qingzhou then turned and left, arriving at a secluded spot. There, he took out the Golden Scale Emperor's Token given to him by Kang Jinlong and teleported out of Lingyun Cave.

"Huh~"

On her wrist, Yingyue, still in the form of a small snake, transmitted her thoughts, asking, "Is this the human realm of this era?"

"You've never been to the human world?"

"I was born in Lingyun Grotto Heaven. Without the Ancestor's permission, how dare I set foot in the mortal realm?"

On the bracelet, emerald-like snake eyes looked around, clearly showing Yingyue's curiosity about the towering buildings and bustling traffic in front of her.

Then she chuckled sweetly, "If you had let me do it, my brother's little kitten wouldn't have been able to escape."

"Was the Ghost Tiger raised by the White Dragon?"

"Yes, I heard he's one of the eldest brother's heirs left behind outside."

"..."

Ye Qingzhou really wanted to say that the entertainment industry is really messy. Snakes and tigers, that's even a cross-species thing, okay?

But considering that snakes are inherently promiscuous, and that dragons are not subject to reproductive restrictions, it seems quite normal.

"My lord, what is your purpose in bringing me to the mortal realm this time?"

"Exterminate the entire family."

Ye Qingzhou said it casually, but his serious expression clearly showed that he was not joking.

Yingyue chuckled, "Young master, your murderous aura is so strong. Who is this person who dares to provoke such a ruthless person as you?"

"I killed his son, and I knew he wouldn't let it go, so after much deliberation, I decided to kill him too. That way, they could be reunited, which would be a good deed."

The person Ye Qingzhou wanted to kill was none other than Song Xin's father, Song Yanhai, the head of the Linjiang Song family and a martial arts master.

They say that if you beat the young one, the old one will come.

Since the conflict was irreconcilable, and Song Yanhai was not a reasonable person, Ye Qingzhou decided to go all out and launch a sneak attack.

After all, in everyone's eyes, he was still in Lingyun Cave Heaven, which was the best alibi and guaranteed that no one would suspect him.

…………

Night had fallen, but Song Yanhai felt a strange unease. He clutched his chest, "Is this just a sudden urge? Could something have happened to Xiao Xin?"

Between father and son, there is a blood connection, and when one reaches the level of a master, one opens the bridge between heaven and earth, and to some extent, one can communicate with heaven and earth.

Therefore, Song Yanhai had no doubt about his whim.

Just as he was filled with worry, he sensed an uninvited guest in his home: "Who is this distinguished guest? Why don't they show themselves?"

"it's me."

Cecil appeared in front of Song Yanhai.

This time, however, his attitude was not as aggressive as before: "I apologize for my unauthorized visit, Master Song."

"What are you doing here?"

"Of course I'm here to help you."

Cecil, with gentle persuasion, offered Song Yanhai a condition: "The Source Blood Society possesses high-grade dragon blood potions, which can also be effective for master-level martial artists. I wonder if Master Song would be interested?"

Song Yanhai wasn't stupid, so he coldly refused: "Heh, I don't want to become a monster."

"I swear to the Holy Lord, high-grade dragon blood potions will never have this kind of side effect."

The Holy Lord is a deity worshipped by the Crimson Sanctuary, so Cecil's oath is quite credible. Song Yanhai is quite something.

Another person was equally tempted: "Good things should be shared! Doesn't your Western Kingdom claim to be the beacon of the world? Please let the light of your civilization shine upon me as well, okay?"

"It's you! Ye Qingzhou!"

Song Yanhai and Cecil both stared in shock at the young face that appeared before them.
