Chapter 35: Replacing Sword with Hand, Separating Light Sword Technique

  "Hong", golden needles, heavily slammed onto the stone wall of the mountain cave, a fist-sized hole appeared on the stone wall in an instant under the impact of the golden light. And that golden light flew back into the dark gourd like lightning.

  Looking at the small holes on the stone wall, a smile appeared on Yi Chu's face. The golden needle that was refined from Wang Luo's soul had limited power, but for Yi Chu, it was an additional means of survival. Moreover, the manipulator of this golden long needle was the golden shadow hidden deep in Yi Chu's heart.

  After practicing Golden Needle for a while, Yi Chu began to cultivate his own fist and footwork. Since breaking through the seventh rank some time ago, Yi Chu's power had become increasingly refined. As true energy circulated within him, his body felt as hard as steel.

  With a wave of his fingers, the magical cloud claw force conjured up illusions in mid-air, accompanied by faint sounds of air being torn apart. The sounds echoed continuously as Yi Chu's hands flashed about. Compared to before, Yi Chu's magical cloud claw force had improved by more than double! Even Zhuo Lan Xuan couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration at Yi Chu's progress.

  As the last move of Moyun's Great Claw was executed, Yi Chu's body suddenly changed, and a strange footwork appeared on his body. As this strange technique was displayed, Yi Chu's body slowly transformed into two!

  "With his hand as a sword, he executed the Splitting Light Sword Technique. This was inherited from Wang Luo Yi's sword technique, and now it was being performed by Yi Chu with precision. The Splitting Light Sword Technique could be considered top-notch in terms of martial skills, and ordinary people would need to put in a lot of effort to master it. However, for Yi Chu who had cultivated the Demonic Path Blood Refining Sect's cultivation method, this technique was nothing special."

  Two figures, transformed into eight arms, constantly dancing in mid-air. In the dance of these arms, threads of sword energy were continuously emitted from Yichu's sleeves.

  Practicing swordsmanship without a suitable treasured sword was a kind of suffering for Yi Chu. He wasn't without a sword, as he currently had three flying swords in his hand that were of fairly good quality. Unfortunately, the flying swords were just too short, so short that he couldn't even utilize them properly. Unless one day he cultivated to the ninth rank and could wield flying swords like Blood Kill Son and others.

  The Forty-Ninth Route of the Split Light Sword Technique can split into a maximum of seven simultaneous sword-wielding silhouettes. According to the records of this technique, these seven silhouettes are real entities. The reason they appear is that the speed of this technique is simply too fast. However, to split into seven silhouettes, Yi Chu's current cultivation is still insufficient.

  After a session of sword practice, Yi Chu was still refreshed and energized. Practicing his sword skills seemed to have no effect on him whatsoever. After putting away his sword, Yi Chu slowly sat down on the ground, took out an orange-colored pill from a jade bottle, and slowly placed it in his mouth.

  The warm current formed by this orange pill is more than ten times stronger than that of the red Falling Dusk Pill. Once it merges into Yi Chu's body, it accompanies the Condensed Blood True Force to advance continuously. Since cultivating to the seventh rank, ordinary Falling Dusk Pills and Washing Dust Pills have become less and less effective for Yi Chu, so this orange pill is being utilized by him.

  Although the name of this orange dan medicine is still unknown, it is now the most needed for Yichu. However, there are too few of these orange dan medicines, and there are only a few on Yichu's body right now.

  A surge of blood energy, constantly flowing through Yichu's body, a red mist that instantly envelops Yichu's entire body in fog. At this time, the blood energy outside Yichu's body becomes even thicker, rolling and tumbling like layers of clouds and fog.

  "It didn't work again." Yun Fei Wu San, revealing his true self, let out a long sigh. This was already his third attempt at breaking through to the eighth rank, but unfortunately, each time ended in failure. And after each failure, there would be one less yellow dan medicine left inside his body.

  Yi Chu was disheartened that he hadn't broken through to the eighth rank, but in less than two months, he had transformed from a third-rate ordinary warrior into a top seventh-rank powerhouse with an abdomen as hard as steel - something he wouldn't have dared dream of before.

  After calculating the elixirs in his hand, Yi Chu's eyebrows furrowed. Now, he only had four orange elixirs left, meaning he could attempt to break through to the 8th rank boundary four more times. Although it was unlikely that all four attempts would fail, the hope of success wasn't great either.

  "Red Sun, Red Sun, when will you show your power again and help me break through the 8th rank boundary?"

  Yì Chǔ grasped the crimson treasure in his hand, muttering to himself. However, the crimson treasure seemed to be completely unaware of Yì Chǔ's intentions, only flickering with a faint red glow within the cave.

  Being able to break through the seventh-grade boundary, Yi Chu knew that he mainly relied on the Chi Yang Treasure Jade to transmit a strand of Yang and Qi. With this discovery, Yi Chu was overjoyed, thinking that he had found a shortcut for his cultivation. However, after that breakthrough, Yi Chu sadly discovered that no matter how he used the Chi Yang Treasure Jade, it never helped him break through any boundaries again.

  He didn't even know why he was able to get help from Chi Yang Bao Yu, let alone that Chi Yang Bao Yu had actually saved his life.

  "It's been over a month, and those who wanted to come have already left. Although this cave can still hold out for some time, eating all the elixirs as if they were food will lead to an empty mountain."

  After making up her mind, Yi Chu prepared to leave the cave where she had lived for more than a month. After packing all her belongings into her storage bag, Yi Chu slowly pushed open the massive boulder that sealed the cave.

  As she walked out of the cave, a refreshing breath hit her nose. The ordinary mountain grass and wildflowers on the mountain were now so lush and tender in Yi Chu's eyes. More than a month of living in the cave had made Yi Chu yearn for the outside world.

  After determining the direction, Yi Chu instinctively headed in the direction of Yijia Village. At this point, with his seventh-grade cultivation, every step he took made him seem like an arrow off the string, flying swiftly forward.

  In the instant of crossing a valley, a dangerous breath suddenly reached Yi Chu's mind. At the moment this breath was transmitted, Yi Chu stopped in his tracks. He hastily raised his head to look forward and saw a beautiful woman wearing a green dress standing on the opposite mountain peak.

  The towering mountain peaks looked dull and faded in front of her eyes that seemed to be filled with the spirit of heaven and earth.

  "You can really hold on, we've been waiting for you for a month!" A crisp and pleasant voice came from the woman's mouth.
