Chapter 53 Must Be Like That

  Li Wenjun looked at the Dragon Head Goose Feather Knife and then looked at the mark left by the knife's edge. He had been fighting with Wang Yonggui for half a day, but Wang Yonggui hadn't used this move yet. It was certain that once Wang Yonggui made this move, Li Wenjun would be 80 or 90% likely to dodge it, and he would definitely become a ghost under the knife.

  Is Wang Yonggui unaware of this killer move or does he lack the ability to trigger it?

  Also, what are the triggering conditions for this move? If mastered, it can become his trump card, and his combat power will increase by several times. Even if he encounters an old Daoist like Lao Da, he may have a chance to fight back.

  Thinking of this, Li Wenjun's heart became hot, he secretly made up his mind to find out the conditions that triggered the knife's edge. He picked up the knife and stood up, starting to test it.

  He swung the knife several times in a row, chopping at the rocks on the mountain slope. The knife was indeed a treasured blade, cutting through iron like mud. Every time it chopped into the rock, it could easily cut deep into the stone, leaving a deep impression. However, these impressions were all due to the sharpness of the treasured blade itself, and the cuts that came out were smooth and even with the knife body, without any fierce or powerful momentum, and the scars were not large or deep.

  Unfortunately, the sharp blade that made Li Wenjun's eyes hot never came out.

  Li Wenjun carefully recalled the process of stimulating the knife's edge earlier, and once again activated his light body technique, rising into the air and slashing in all directions.

  Li Wenjun was shocked to find that the height he flew up to was far from comparable to just now, at most only a quarter of the height he had jumped earlier, and the knife edge did not come out.

  The height he flew up and the magic consumed did not increase in proportion, but grew geometrically. The fact that his jump was much lower than before could only mean one thing: his magic had already hit rock bottom.

  Before killing Wang Yonggui, Li Wenjun rested for a day to fill up his magic power. Then he used the Light Body Technique to come down from the half mountain slope, used a fireball technique, practiced knife skills, and then used the Light Body Technique to jump into mid-air. Adding and subtracting, at least half of his magic power should still be left, so why was it all gone?

  Li Wenjun suddenly thought of the knife's edge, and before it was triggered, he had felt a surge of heat flowing from his body into the Longshou Yanfeng Knife. Could that surge of heat be the other half of his lost magical power?

  Li Wenjun's eyes suddenly became scorching hot, if his guess was correct, wouldn't it mean that this Dragon Head Goose Feather Knife was not just an ordinary sharp knife, but...

  Just thinking about this possibility made Li Wenjun, who was normally calm and composed, become anxious and worried.

  Heaven willing, it must be!

  Li Wenjun couldn't wait to refill his spiritual energy immediately, so he could repeat the process of activating the knife's edge again, but this was something that couldn't be rushed. Spiritual energy wasn't something that could be replenished just by flapping one's lips; it required time.

  Li Wenjun had to be patient and prepare for his cultivation. However, before he started cultivating, there was one thing he needed to do - make an offering to the Five Zang Temple, or in other words, fill his stomach with food. He hadn't eaten anything for over a day, and his stomach was growling loudly.

  Li Wenjun rummaged through the storage package and found some leftover roasted meat, clear water, and pickled vegetables. He hastily ate a bit and then picked up several animal traps, opened them, and placed them around him as protection.

  In the depths of the mountain, wild beasts come and go, can't be too careful.

  Immediately, Li Wenjun closed his eyes and started practicing Qigong, beginning his cultivation.

  Before he knew it, half a day had passed and his magic was full. He immediately stopped cultivating and opened his eyes to find that the sky had turned dark. He calculated the time and figured that it was probably around midnight, still a while before dawn would break.

  To ensure that he could see everything clearly, Li Wenjun did not rush to try the knife immediately. He planned to wait until dawn before trying it out. Of course, he would not waste time, as he still had many things to do.

  Li Wenjun first wrapped Wang Yonggui's head, which had been drained of blood, in layers with dry grass, then wrapped it in a cloth and put it in the storage bag. He also gathered up the animal traps used for protection to prevent accidental triggering.

  Afterwards, Li Wenjun stood at the entrance of the cave where Wang Yonggui had once hidden. Originally, Li Wenjun hadn't thought to go inside the cave to take a look, but when he realized that the Dragon Head Goose Feather Knife was no ordinary thing, he raised a question: did Wang Yonggui still hide more treasures in the cave?

  In addition, Li Wenjun also felt a little regretful. He shouldn't have rushed to burn Wang Yonggui's body. Perhaps before burning it, he should have searched the body first. Who knows, maybe he could have found more valuable things. But now, regretting was useless. He could only put his hopes on the cave.

  Li Wenjun did not rashly rush into the cave, and the heavy mechanism laid down by Wang Yonggui left a deep impression on him. Li Wenjun asked himself that even if he was a cultivator of the first layer of Qi Refining, once he triggered the mechanism, he would still be unlucky. He wasn't invincible, poisoning would still finish him off, and his head being smashed by a stone would still make his brains burst out.

  Li Wenjun walked around the surrounding hills, found a few stones slightly smaller than the cave entrance, and rolled them down from the hill to the valley.

  It's worth mentioning that when these stones rolled down the mountain, they also triggered several traps that Li Wenjun hadn't discovered, which can be considered as clearing obstacles for Li Wenjun.

  Li Wenjun used his dragon-headed goose feather knife to carve the stone into a spherical shape. Then, he pushed the stone ball to the entrance of the cave, took a deep breath, and with both hands, he gave it a strong push. The stone ball rolled into the cave through the hole.

  When the boulder rolled, it made a rumbling sound. Wang Yonggui had set up many mechanisms and traps in the passage leading to the cave. Now that the boulder was rolling, many of them were triggered. Suddenly, the sound of crossbow arrows breaking through the air, the sound of falling slabs, and the sound of collapsing trapdoors rose and fell, never-ending.

  Upon hearing these words, Li Wenjun felt a chill run down his spine, his hairs standing on end. This Wang Yonggui was truly ruthless, having set up so many traps.

  However, on the other hand, Li Wenjun still has some admiration for Wang Yonggui. Regardless of other things, Wang Yonggui's skill in setting traps and mechanisms is not something that ordinary people can do, making him a master craftsman. If Wang Yonggui had chosen a different path, one that didn't involve murder and arson, but rather craftsmanship, he might have even become a legendary master, revered by others.

  After waiting for the passage inside to be silent, Li Wenjun carved another stone ball and rolled it into the passage, breaking a few more mechanisms that had been missed earlier.

  ……

  Three stone balls rolled in one after another, and there was complete silence inside the passage. By this time, it had almost dawned.

  Li Wenjun glanced at the sky and temporarily suspended his plan to explore the cave, instead continuing to test his sword. This was the priority; the treasure in the cave was secondary. Besides, they were already inside the cave and wouldn't run away with legs.

  Li Wenjun grasped the hilt of the knife, circulated the Long Spring Skill, and guided his internal energy along the meridians to flow into the hand holding the knife.

  When the law force concentrated on his right hand, "Hum" a sound, the dragon head goose feather knife suddenly lit up, shining like stars, dazzling light pierced the eyeball.

  Li Wenjun continued to pour more mana into the Dragon Head Goose Feather Knife, and the light emitted by the Dragon Head Goose Feather Knife grew stronger. When he poured all his mana into the Dragon Head Goose Feather Knife, the light was so intense that Li Wenjun couldn't even open his eyes. At the same time, the Dragon Head Goose Feather Knife hummed with a buzzing sound, constantly trembling in his hand.
