Chapter 28: Choice

  Is there such a good thing?

  Liu followed the cloud and stopped in his tracks, asking casually: "Is there no love without cause or reason in this world?"

  "Granting some small favors to those below her is just what a young lady of her standing should do!"

  Gu Yinghua said with great pride: "Now you know what the Supreme Tao is!"

  "She quickly spoke out the technique she had finally found, which was one of the techniques she had carefully selected from hundreds of techniques: "Do you know about the Void Sound Thunder?"

  Silent Thunder of the Void!

  As its name suggests, this is not the fastest lightning method, nor is it the most powerful lightning method, but it is one of the most hidden and sinister low-level lightning methods.

  It is well known that thunder system magic has always been the favorite of low-ranking cultivators, with the strongest power. One move of thunder magic can blow the opponent to smithereens, but thunder magic also has inherent weaknesses. Not to mention that it is extremely difficult to learn and consumes a lot of spiritual energy, there are also many Daoist magical artifacts specifically designed to counter thunder magic. Moreover, the biggest problem lies in the fact that although thunder magic is powerful, its speed is actually quite ordinary.

  This can be said to be the congenital defect of Leifa, often before Leifa has made a move, the opponent has already come up with a countermeasure, so someone came up with this Kongyin Ming Lei, although not as exaggerated as having no sound at all, even reaching the realm of "empty sound", but the momentum is not big, extremely hidden, and the speed is quite fast, slightly careless and this Kongyin Ming Lei will thunder under your feet.

  Don't mention that this empty sound Ming Lei, although small in momentum and not particularly powerful, has a very strong inclusiveness, can be combined with many powerful thunder methods to form a combination of thunder methods. According to Gu Yinghua's words: "Don't look at the power of Kong Yin Ming Lei, as long as it is combined with other powerful thunder methods, its power will definitely be extraordinary. For example, if you use the Morning Sun Thunder, you can hide the Morning Sun Thunder in the empty sound Ming Lei, and when the time comes, a sudden Morning Sun Thunder will strike the opponent's body without warning."

  Of course, such a good thing is not without cost. Although the Void Thunder can be combined with other thunder methods to achieve a perfect effect, the spiritual power required for a one-time release is not as simple as adding two kinds of thunder methods together. It often requires several times more spiritual power, not to mention that the difficulty and time required to cast the spell are greatly increased.

  Moreover, the combination of Kong Yin Ming Lei and Zhao Yang Shen Lei, although it can produce unexpected effects, after consuming several times more spiritual power and at a great cost, these powerful thunder methods combined with Kong Yin Ming Lei do not maintain their original power, but rather are inferior to the original. Gu Yinghua said bluntly: "One move of Kong Yin Ming Lei combined with Zhao Yang Shen Lei is roughly half as powerful as Zhao Yang Shen Lei!"

  Although there are so many problems, Gu Yinghua still regards this as the supreme way: "I have always been willing to give a little favor to those who are willing to follow the great way. As long as he is willing to admire the great way, it is the most precious technique, and he can learn it."

  No wonder she was so proud, this Empty Sound Dark Thunder although easy to learn, is not some "Changchun Gong" type of common goods, but the true secret transmission passed down by various sects to their elite disciples. In Gu Yinghua's eyes, Liu Suoyun would always say after learning such a practical and easy-to-learn technique: "This Empty Sound Dark Thunder is one of the best thunder methods for refining Qi and building foundation!"

  Liu followed the cloud and pondered for a moment, stretched out a lazy waist and yawned, before lazily saying: "Thank you Miss Gu, I have my own path to follow!"

  This road is difficult, but it's also a road I chose myself!

  Gu Yinghua was so angry at Liu Suizhen's words that she could hardly speak: "Hey, hey, hey, Liu Suizhen, this is a rare opportunity! If you don't learn now, you might not have the chance to learn for the rest of your life!"

  Liu Suiyun wiped his hands and said, "Miss Gu, I know this is the Empty Sound Mysterious Thunder, but now I have a better choice, and even the path I choose is not bad. Now I want..."

  "Let's advance to the next level!"

  Gu Yinghua was right behind Liu Suizhen, she could feel it. Along with Liu Suizhen's words, the spiritual energy circulating on his body suddenly became fierce, even his body became scorching hot!

  Through this scorching stimulation, Gu Yinghua could feel the heat of Liu Suoyun's skin, feel the flow and disappearance of spiritual energy, and even feel the rapid disappearance of the surging air, blood, and soul in Liu Suoyun's body. He felt Liu Suoyun's cultivation rising step by step, breaking through the most critical pass one after another.

  Refining Qi Third Layer! That's right, it's indeed Refining Qi Third Layer.

  Although in Gu Yinghua's eyes, this was just a small breakthrough, for her and Liu Suoyun who were trying to break out of the siege, this difference had extraordinary significance. At least Liu Suoyun could use the power of Tianlei Xingdun Sword to perform many Taoist techniques at the sixth level of Lianqi, more importantly, in the past, performing many mid-term Lianqi Taoist methods was just barely manageable, but now they had more spare energy and stronger control.

  Because of the warmth and touch transmitted through the skin, Gu Yinghua even had a thread of infatuated emotions, but he quickly controlled his emotions, smiled lightly: "However, breaking through the third layer of Qi Refining is just a side door minor path!"

  She said proudly: "If you want to learn the Void Thunder Sound and walk on the Supreme Tao, just speak up at any time! I've never been stingy with my subordinates!"

  Liu Su Yun broke through the third layer of Lian Qi after, strength increased somewhat, just the spiritual power in the body operation has increased by about 10%, not to mention the control of Tao Fa becomes more sensitive, so he is very happy: "Thank you Miss Gu, at least without this Extreme Yuan Huang Lei Forging Divine Record, we can't get here, that's enough!"

  To put it simply, Liu Suizhen's promotion speed can be described as shocking. In just a few days, he has risen from an ordinary person who hasn't even completed the first stage of Qi Refining to the third layer of Qi Refining. Except for those with exceptional talent or a powerful background in their sect, ordinary cultivators shouldn't expect such a cultivation speed.

  Although there are many conveniences brought by the heavy repair of Xian Gong, this Extreme Yuan Huang Lei Du Shen Record is absolutely indispensable and can be called one of the fastest cultivation methods in the world. Not to mention that Liu Suizhuan's body has accumulated enough to break through to the fourth layer of Lianqi, so Gu Yinghua's advice was useless.

  However, her mood was still quite good. Although Liu Suizhen did not come to the Supreme Tao, at least she had wavered once. Now, on Liu Suizhen's back, she was considering what kind of reason to find next: "I believe you will eventually come to the Supreme Tao, this is the right path!"

  Liu Suiyun returned to the original topic: "Miss Gu, you at least have to reward me with a bowl of sweet bean milk! Of course, it's best if it's a bowl of salty bean milk. I really want to drink a mouthful of hot bean milk!"

  In the depths of Luoxing Mountain, Liu Suiyun hadn't had a good rest even once, and he hadn't changed his clothes since he left. As for hot bean milk or iced bean milk, that was a luxury he couldn't afford. So he could only take a deep breath, as if the air was filled with the fragrance of bean milk.

  Just at that moment, Liu's eyes sparkled and he became invigorated, saying: "No way! Damn it!"

  "What's going on?"

  Gu Yinghua knew something was definitely up: "What's going on? Has the Pang family's pursuing troops arrived?"

  He couldn't imagine that the pursuit of the Pong family would be so swift. To know that all along, Liu Suizhen had been traversing mountains and rivers, hardly stopping at all, and didn't even know how many treacherous passes he had crossed. It was just a moment ago that he stopped to rest for less than half a minute, yet the Pong family's pursuers arrived so quickly.

  Liu followed the cloud and didn't have time to shake his head, he just tightly grasped the long and short knife and sword in his hand: "Damn it, this is the taste of Xuan Shui Jun!"

  Xuan Shui? Gu Yinghua quickly thought of the strange giant snake he had encountered before, its waist as thick as a bucket, its body four or five zhang long, and that rooster-like head, all leaving a deep impression on Gu Yinghua.

  Although I don't know how Liu Suizhen got rid of Xuan Shuijun, as soon as Gu Yinghua saw Liu Suizhen's extremely serious attitude, she knew that big trouble had arrived: "Let's avoid him! Don't worry about me!"

  "Let's get out of here!"

  Liu Suiyun also shared the same view, that even in his heyday, facing off directly, he might not necessarily be a match for this Xuan Shui Jun. Not to mention now, although he had borrowed Gu Yinghua's Jing Xin Xiang's power to restore his state to 70-80% of its peak, wanting to annihilate this demon snake would be a case of having the heart but lacking the strength, let alone that behind him, there were who-knows-how-many elite members of the Pang family and Tian Yi Bang pursuing and killing him. He couldn't afford to waste too much energy on Xuan Shui Jun.

  He took a step to the left and sprinted towards the small hill, his movements extremely agile. His breathing and footsteps were perfectly synchronized, despite carrying a not-so-light load of Gu Yinghua on his back. However, just over a hundred steps in, before he reached the top of the hill, he heard a "hissing" sound coming from behind, and Xuan Shuijun seemed to have quickened his pace as well.

  "Damn it!" Liu Suoyun cursed again: "Miss Gu, this demon snake has smelled my scent!"

  To know that snakes are originally good at remembering grievances, Xuan Shui Jun also inherited this tradition of the demon snake. Not to mention that it had suffered greatly at the hands of Liu Suizhen several times, and the smell of Liu Suizhen was deeply ingrained in its memory. As soon as it smelled Liu Suizhen's scent, it coiled up its body, wanting to bite that hateful little person to pieces - it would never forget the great loss it had suffered just a few days ago!

  Liu Suizhuan's speed suddenly accelerated, but his breathing also became disordered due to the urgent movement. In the dense forest of the high mountains and steep valleys, he ran for a whole minute, and Liu Suizhuan could still hear Xuan Shuijun's "hissing" sound, wanting to accelerate, but heard Gu Yinghua shouting: "Be careful!"

  Liu Suiyun hadn't even lifted his head when he heard the continuous barking of dogs and several green-clad men pulling open their strong bows while holding leashes.

  An arrow shoots through the clouds and comes forth!
