"That place is filled with roaring thunder and lightning all year round. Any living being that enters that place will be smashed to smithereens and turned into ashes!"
Huo Hongchang was also troubled for a moment.
The Thunder Abyss was the most dangerous place in the Thunder Swamp. There was a valley abouhousand meters long, and it was filled with thunder and lightning all year round. Any living being that entered it would be attacked by lightning, so it could be said that this was a forbidden area that no one dared to go near!
The Thunder Swamp had existed for a very long time. Although Huo Hongchang had a lot of qualifications, he still did not know what was in the deepest part of the Thunder Abyss.
In the past, there were a few geniuses with extraordinary strength and pride that wanted to go inside to investigate. In the end, all of them were killed within, and not a single one was able to leave.
Moreover, the sect had clearly stated that disciples were allowed to enter to gain experience, but elders were absolutely not allowed to. Those who violated the sect's rules were to be killed without mercy!
As an elder of a Sunscorch Sect, Huo Hongchang was naturally clear about this rule. He was currently struggling in his heart, what should he do?
But if he did not go in and allowed these disciples to go, none of them would be Huo Chengzhi's match. He could only send them to their deaths.
"When my plan succeeds, I will come out. I will kill Xu Ri and destroy Sunscorch Sect!"
Huo Chengzhi's crazed voice continuously resounded in his mind. Huo Hongchang abruptly furrowed his brows, and firmly decided that even if he was punished by the sect, he must enter and see for himself!
In order to enter the Thunder Abyss, one had to pass throughousand meter wide Thunder Valley. If any living being appeared in the valley, they would be electrocuted. Only after passing through the valley would one enter the Thunder Abyss. All the disciples that enter the Thunder Valley will be given a Thunder Pearl. This bead can protect you and allow you to safely pass through the Thunder Valley.
However, Huo Hongchang did not have the Lightning Avoiding Pearl on him, so if there was an urgent need, he could only return to the sect to retrieve it!
Huo Hongchang made his decision very quickly. At most, he would just go back and retrieve the Thunder Pearl. If Huo Chengzhi really had a crazy plan, I can stop him ahead of time!
The current Sunscorch Sect was vastly different from the past. If Huo Chengzhi dared to act recklessly, the only thing that awaited him was death.
However, the prerequisite for him to get the Thunder Pearl was that there would be a disciple who would be willing to enter to explore it. However, under such circumstances, who would be willing to take the risk?
How smart was Chu Yun, he knew what Huo Hongchang was thinking with a glance, and took the initiative to speak: "Elder Huo, I want to go in."
In any case, he himself had come here to gain experience. No matter how dangerous the Thunder Abyss was, it would becomart of his experience.
Furthermore, there wahrase that went 'wealth comes from danger', and there must be some treasure inside that led Huo Chengzhi to plot against it.
Seeing that Chu Yun had made his stance clear, Tao Huan immediately extended his hand out: "I … I want to go in too! "
"Junior Peach, Brother Chu …"
Seeing that, Xu Zhiheng looked to be in a difficult situation, he did not want to go deep into the Thunder Abyss to take the risk, to put it bluntly, it had nothing to do with him, there was no need to wade in the muddy water.
"Senior brother Xu, I understand you."
Chu Yun smiled and compared his heart to his own. Xu Zhiheng was indeed not obligated to accompany him in.
"Thank you for your understanding, Brother Chu."
Xu Zhiheng let out a long sigh of relief, and his expression became somewhat gloomy.
"The Thunder Abyss huh? Since you're all going, how can I miss you?"
Gong Yanjie swept a glance at Chu Yun, and then said proudly.
"Damn, brother Gong, are you crazy? What kind of place is the Thunder Abyss! "
The lackey on the side immediately turned pale with fright.
Gong Yanjie sneered in his heart: Am I crazy? I'm not crazy! How can you idiots understand my thoughts? The Thunder Abyss is indeed dangerous, but if I follow closely behind Elder Huo, with his strength, he can definitely protect me! Danger often came with luck. Since this was a forbidden area, there were bound to be countless treasures inside!
Gong Yanjie was already very unsatisfied with his gains from this trip to the Thunder Swamp, and seeing such an opportunity, his thoughts immediately stirred.
He had to follow them in!
No matter what, he had to follow them in!
Afteound of voting, only three people finally expressed their intentions to enter, Tao Huan, Gong Yanjie, and Gong Yanjie's good brother — — He Yi.
Chu Yun was not a disciple of Sunscorch Sect, so he was not included in the list.
Huo Hongchang's eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "Alright then, I'll go back to get the Thunder Pearl. Anyone who doesn't want to enter the Thunder Abyss, follow me! As for those who choose to stay, don't go around to avoid any accidents! "
"Brother Chu, be careful!"
Before Xu Zhiheng left, he cupped his fist at Chu Yun with a serious expression.
Under Huo Hongchang's lead, the figures of the disciples swiftly disappeared into the horizon.
When everyone had left, Gong Yanjie suddenly turned and stared at Chu Yun, his entire body releasing a dense Qi, his face sinister as he roared: "Stinky brat, you were truly arrogant previously huh. Now that Xu Zhiheng has left with the Elder Huo, let's see who can still protect you! "
Chapter 136 - Pointing out Defects
Gong Yanjie did not understand Chu Yun's true strength, and thought that he could rely on his relationship with Xu Zhiheng to have nothing to fear, so when he saw that Xu Zhiheng had left with Huo Hongchang, Gong Yanjie could not help but reveal a sinister face.
Chu Yun glanced at him sideways, glancing at him with disdain, then said indifferently: "So, what do you want to do?"
"I want to teach you a lesson!"
Gong Yanjie roared, his face contorted from being excessively agitated, a mottled cheetah appeared behind him, it pounced straight at Chu Yun.
He Ye stood by the side with his arms crossed and a smile on his face, watching the show.
He proudly swept his eyes across Tao Huan, wanting to see her expression of panic.
But in reality, Tao Huan had been standing there the entire time, blinking her large eyes. She did not seem to have any intention of worrying for Chu Yun, which made She Ye feel extremely unhappy.
How could he know that Tao Huan wasn't worried at all?
Tao Huan had personally witnessed Chu Yun's strength before. Gong Yanjie could be considered rather capable when compared to his peers, but compared to Chu Yun, he wasn't even qualified to carry his shoes!
Chu Yun's figure stood there, expressionless, seeing Gong Yanjie rushing towards him with such unparalleled strength, he shook his head, and kicked out.
"Bam!"
With a dull thud, Gong Yanjie's figure that pounced over froze in midair, his pupils almost popping out.
He lowered his head to look at the foot that had kicked him in the chest, and let out a meaningless curse. Then, his body softly fell to the ground.
There wasn't even a need to play any tricks. With just a simple kick, Gong Yanjie fainted.
Seeing this, He Ye was astonished. He drew out a long sword and roared as he rushed over, "You're courting death!"
Chu Yun's eyes remained indifferent, and he struck out with his fist without any flourishes, causing a rich explosion of air currents. The long sword in He Ye's hand shattered into pieces, and even he himself spat out a mouthful of blood, as his head tilted to the side and he fainted.
Gong Yanjie and He Ye were both considered famous core disciples of the S
unscorch Sect, but Chu Yun had dealt with them with jusunch and a kick.
"Senior Brother Chu, your physique is so strong. You've even shattered He Ye's martial spirit!"
Tao Huan's beautiful eyes were filled with worship.
"I'm just shattering the Martial Spirit form."
Chu Yun smiled lightly.
"Anyways, there's nothing to do right now. Can Brother Chu give me some pointers on my blade technique?"
Tao Huan asked tentatively, looking forward to it.
"Alright!"
Chu Yun did not have any intentions of refusing, he took the initiative to move to the side, and gave Tao Huan enough space to do so, he nodded his head in encouragement: "Use the sword technique that you are most skilled in, I will help you point out the flaws in it!"
Tao Huan held onto the black fourth stage Peach Blossom Blade, her beautiful eyes suddenly became determined, she bellowed, and started taking Profound Steps, releasing Spirit Qi into the Peach Blossom Blade, causing it to shoot out many pink blade lights, chopping the air around them to produce pu chi sounds.
After that, she seemed to have fallen into a state of oblivion, her beautiful eyes flashing with a sharp light as she used all of her skills and practiced her blade techniques to the maximum.
The peach blossoms that were blossoming beside Tao Huan, accentuated her figure, giving her an indescribably beautiful appearance.
Chu Yun was surprised, he had thought that Tao Huan's fighting strength was not strong, but he never expected that when she completely unleashed her blade technique, even the air was forced to constantly sway.
Her strength had even surpassed many warriors of the second level of the Genuine Force.
Due to the fact that he had comprehended a blade intent, currently, Chu Yun's comprehension of blade techniques had already risen to an extremely terrifying level. He could tell with a single glance that the blade technique Tao Huan had practiced warecious grade martial skill!
She may seem weak, but in reality, her gentleness was mixed with sharpness. A killing intent brewed within her beauty. Anyone who dared to look down on her would suffer greatly from her blade technique.
A precious rank martial skill was already not bad, but it could not be considered a disgrace to Tao Huan's martial soul.
It was just that …
Chu Yun frowned deeply. If the strength Tao Huan had displayed could represent her fighting strength, then Xu Zhiheng would definitely not be her match. But the reality was another matter. The reason why Tao Huan's blade technique was so restricted in actual combat was because there were too many flowery moves. Some plain and useless moves were completely unnecessary.
If he could cut some of it down, he believed that its practicality would increase by a level!
After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, Tao Huan retracted her blade, her face had a bright smile, and she turned to ask: "Senior Brother Chu, my blade technique is as …."
Before she even finished speaking, she saw Chu Yun's deep frown and she immediately held back the words that she was about to say.
Tao Huan asked weakly: "No … "Can't I?"
Chu Yun was the youngest blade artist, and could even use his own Qi to control his blade. If even he felt that he couldn't do it, then he really couldn't.
Seeing Tao Huan's weak look, Chu Yun knew that she had hit the little miss's ego. He immediately revealed a smile and asked casually: "What's the name of this sword technique?
"This is called the Buried Flower Saber Technique, it is my teacher …" Elder Lin Yue taught it to me. This blade technique was created by her. She said that my martial soul is very suitable for her martial arts, so she let me cultivate well. Therefore, all these years, I have been practicing this Buried Flower blade technique … "
Tao Huan was stuttering, she was afraid, what if Senior Chu did not think this sword technique was good enough, what should she do? Did this mean that all her years of studying and training had gone to waste?
"There's something wrong with this Buried Flower Saber Technique. There are too many tricks and it's not very practical." However, it could be confirmed that the creator of this saber technique had thought of something. In the end, it was decided to brecious martial skill, and it was not considered to be an insult to it. "However, since you asked me to guide you, I will point out all of your problems. Are you prepared for this?"
Chu Yun clasped his hands behind his back, and the sword technique that Tao Huan had demonstrated just now played out in his mind quickly as if it was a movie.
Chu Yun had a deep impression on some flashy moves.
"Mm, feel free to say it, Senior Chu. I can take it even if I have to."
Tao Huan clenched her fist.
"The eighth move you executed earlier was the move where you twisted your wrist and slashed it upwards. Don't you think that this move of turning your wrist is very useless? What was the purpose of this? Was it just to make the connection more beautiful? It is precisely this move of the wrist that will have an impact on the overall rhythm. The experienced opponent will break through the layers of blade light that you have set up in one breath, so all your previous efforts will have been in vain! "
"There is still the thirteenth form. Why should I pierce it?" Turned into hacking and chopping! "
"The fifteenth move, what use is it to turn around and hack horizontally? If you hack horizontally then hack horizontally; what's a full circle of hacking?"
"Also..."
Chu Yun's expression was solemn as he pointed out all of the shortcomings that he saw one after another.
Initially, when Tao Huan heard it, her eyes lit up, she did not expect Senior Brother Chu to observe it so meticulously, to be able to see through such a small problem.
Towards the end, Tao Huan was already numb to shock.
He had only performed it once, but he was actually able to memorize the entire Buried Flower Saber Technique!
His memory was truly terrifying!
Chu Yun continuously spoke for an hour, and finally, he brought up all the flaws he felt were not good.
Tao Huan tried really hard to comprehend, and if she met with any doubts, she would bring it up on her own accord, and Chu Yun would answer them for her in detail.
"How about this, I will demonstrate the improved Buried Flower Saber Technique to you. If you see it clearly, I will only demonstrate it once. "Remember how much is completely up to you!"
Chu Yun took out his heavenly blade, took a deep breath and suddenly dashed forward.
"Shua shua shua!"
The speed of his training was even faster than Tao Huan's, which made him dazzled.
At first, he looked a little awkward because he was not used to it, but at the end, it felt like he was performing. The atmosphere was grand and smooth.
Tao Huan knew that this kind of opportunity was extremely rare, so she didn't dare to relax the slightest bit as she watched with wide eyes.
Chu Yun's every movement, every footwork, and every attack was completely reflected in her mind.
At this moment, she only had one thought in her mind, and that was to learn as much as she could!
It was a great honor for him to have such a chance. No matter what, he had to remember it and learn it well.
Therefore, Tao Huan tried her best to eliminate all of her distracting thoughts as she tried to comprehend every single one of Chu Yun's movements with her own heart.
Even Chu Yun himself was a little shocked. He thought that after eliminating all the tricks, it would affect the overall fluidity of the Buried Flower Saber Technique, but he did not expect it to become even smoother.
If he thought about it carefully, he could understand that those tricks were forcibly added in for the sake of beauty. After it was removed, it could be considered as returning to the true nature of the Buried Flower Saber Technique.
Chu Yun had practiced every movement to the extreme, and it was as standard as if it waextbook. Even if the Elder Lin Yue who c
reated this set of blade technique were to personally come, he would not necessarily be able to find a single flaw!
"Hu!"
Chu Yun took a deep breath and retracted his blade, then laughed and asked: "Have you memorized everything?"
Tao Huan's face was filled with shock. After hearing Chu Yun's question, she nodded, and said word by word: "I only remember seventy to eighty percent …"
"Seventy to eighty percent is not bad. "Remember, do not forget to study hard. Only by mastering it well will you be able to display the strongest aspect of this saber technique."
Chu Yun was a little shocked. Tao Huan's Inherent Skill was really not weak, she could only remember seventy to eighty percent of it after looking at it once.
Amongst the young disciples, this was extremely rare.
"Senior Brother Chu, you really are …" "He's really too strong. I can't believe he's able to correct all of the flaws in this technique just by looking at it once."
Tao Huan's face was filled with admiration, and a sense of adoration unknowingly emerged within her beautiful eyes.
"Alright, practice a bit more. I'll go find the herbs that are still undamaged here."
Chu Yun laughed bitterly as he looked around him. Most of the herbs were destroyed in his battle with Huo Chengzhi, and many of the spirit herbs were shattered into pieces. Now that he looked around, he might be able to find some that were completely fine.
With that, Chu Yun began to rummage through the soft soil.
He clearly remembered that there were more than ten thousand-year-old medicinal plants in the medicinal field, but he had only harvested less than half of them.
Such a waste, whaity!
Chapter 137 - Refining the Lightning Ball
Chu Yun spent a lot of time and effort to find over 10 stalks of spirit herbs, but they were all 500 or 800 years old, and the thousand year old spirit medicines that had gained intelligence had long since disappeared withourace.
With Chu Yun's current eyesight, he was already uninterested in these spirit medicines. With a faint smile, he walked in front of Tao Huan and gave all of the spirit medicines to her.
