Chapter 215 - Stage Six Martial Master
Hearing that General Dugu"s archery skills were superb and his "Nine Stars Connecting Pearls" techniques were peerless in the world, he had long desired to compete with the general. Five days later, at noon on the peak of the Spirit Altar Mountain, please do not hesitate to instruct the general when he arrives. In the following four days, I hope that General Yu"s Residence will focus on preparing for war and will not go out to avoid defeat.
Rumor had it that this was the content of the letter of challenge.
He had actually dared to tell Dugu Yan to stay in the Dragon Spring Town for the next four days in case he was not his match by then.
As one of the famous generals of the Sha Long Empire, he had gone through hundreds of battles and killed countless number of enemies. The reason why the "Flamewing Phoenix King", one of the eight great Demon King s, had suffered such heavy injuries in the Two Realms Plain was also because he had been injured by the other party"s archery.
It was said that after Dugu Yan read the letter of challenge, he only had a sneer on his face and continued to call for troops.
However, just as Dugu Yan was about to leave the city, another letter arrived. Along with that letter, an ancient looking wooden chest appeared.
There was only a short sentence in the letter:
It was the first time that the general had left the manor and killed a hundred soldiers. Once again, he left the manor and killed a thousand soldiers three times.
He opened the wooden box and saw a head inside.
Northwest of the Dragon Spring Town was a thousand generals camp stationed at the Sha Long Empire and the owner of the head was one of the hundred generals of the thousand generals camp. No one knew how the hundred generals were killed until the head was sent back.
Dugu Yan was unable to contain his anger. Unfortunately, he didn"t even know who the challenger was. In the end, he could only temporarily return to Chu Feng"s Thousand Generals Manor.
If he was alone, he would completely ignore everything, but he was the general of the Sha Long Empire.
Since the other party had killed a hundred generals first, if he really did not pay attention to the other party"s warning, it was really possible that the other party had killed another thousand generals, or even the entire Thousand General Battalion. From the looks of it, the other party had silently killed a hundred generals, and the other party was most likely a of the eighth step.
It was not a big deal to lose a few thousand generals, a few hundred generals, or even a few thousand general camps during wartime. However, in such a situation, if the entire Thousand general camp was slaughtered, it would be difficult to explain Dugu Yan.
Dugu Yan didn"t dare to take the risk and had no choice but to stay in Dragon Spring Town. In the end, the one leading the team out of the city towards Longquan Ancient Town became General Chu Feng.
Unfortunately, out of hundreds of soldiers, only Chu Feng and a few others escaped back in the morning.
It was said that they were surrounded by a large number of vengeful spirits in the Sword Crafting Valley. Some of them were even very powerful blood spirits, and even the thousand generals, Chu Feng, almost lost their lives.
Many people knew that there was a blood spirit in Sword Crafting Valley, but they never expected that Chu Feng, a peak of the seventh step Martial Master, would be in such a sorry state after entering the Sword Crafting Valley.
Regarding the current situation of the Sword Crafting Valley, the numerous Martial Warriors s were all getting more and more curious.
However, at this moment, what interested everyone even more was the battle at noon on the peak of the Spiritual Altar Mountain.
The person who dared to issue a challenge to Dugu Yan, and who had an extremely arrogant tone, was undoubtedly a Martial Lord of the eighth step. The battle between the two Martial Lord s must have been incomparably exciting. This kind of opportunity naturally could not be missed, and many Martial Warriors s had already gotten up long ago, paying attention to the movements of the Thousand Generals Palace.
Sure enough, not long after Chu Feng fled back to the Dragon Spring Town, Dugu Yan was escorted by a large group of people as he left the city south.
The numerous Martial Warriors followed behind Dugu Yan and the rest.
The mountain was not tall, and the mountain peak was rather flat. It was around a dozen meters in radius, and from afar, it looked like a circular shaped stage. When standing at the foot of the mountain, one could clearly see the situation on the mountain peak.
When they arrived at their destination, almost all the soldiers were left at the foot of the mountain. Dugu Yan was alone with a middle-aged follower as he waited quietly at the top of the mountain.
Time flew by, and more and more Martial Warriors gathered at the foot of the mountain.
When noon arrived, it was a sea of people. At least half of the Dragon Spring Town s ran over, but the challenger did not show himself at all.
The red sun gradually set in the west, and the noise from the mountain could be heard everywhere.
At the peak of the Spiritual Altar Mountain, the middle-aged follower kept looking at the path up the mountain with an anxious expression on his face, "He still hasn"t arrived yet. Don"t tell me that there was something that delayed him?"
"Delay?"
Dugu Yan, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, twitched his face. Anger could be seen from between his brows, and he snorted coldly, "It"s impossible for that person to appear again! This old man was fooled! "
"Tricked?" The middle-aged follower was slightly surprised.
"This old man had long felt that things weren"t so simple. Now it seems that it was indeed the case."
Dugu Yan leaped up and sneered, "The arrogant challenger must be the old fogey who killed s.h.i.+ Qian that day! He is deliberately trying to mystify things, it is merely delaying. I think Tang Huan must have something that he wants to delay at Dragon Spring Ancient Town or the Sword Crafting Valley for a few days! "
He had already suspected it a long time ago, but today, he was completely certain of it.
"Let"s go down the mountain and return to the Dragon Spring Town! If you think that you will not be able to find Tang Huan after a few days, then you are underestimating this old man too much! "
"..."
… ….
Sword Crafting Valley, inside the Mazy Sword Valley.
Beneath the sword stone that was a few metres tall, Tang Huan was seated cross legged, his body unmoving like a sculpture.
Inside the Dantian, the "Nine Yang Divine Furnace" and the two levels of Spiritual Wheel were also rapidly circulating.
The small mouthful of "True Fire Spirit Spring Water" that he just drank was always filled with warmth, making him feel as if he was bathing in a hot spring, his whole body feeling extremely carefree.
Over the past few days, he had drank this "True Fire Spirit Spring" dozens of times.
But every time, this strange feeling would make Tang Huan feel like he was drunk, it was an extremely enjoyable feeling.
However, now was not the time to enjoy themselves.
Following the circulation of the Qi Method, an exceptionally warm energy separated itself from the "True Fire Spirit Spring Water" and entered the furnace. Following the circulation of the furnace, it slowly fused with the Genuine Qi.
After refining a dozen or so mouthfuls of the "True Fire Spirit Spring", the Genuine Qi in Tang Huan"s body had already been raised to its limit. At this time, if he were to absorb and refine the "True Fire Spirit Spring", the strength of the Genuine Qi would not increase at all, but the Genuine Qi in Tang Huan"s body was becoming more and more condensed.
At this point, Tang Huan could totally start trying to condense the third stage of Spiritual Wheel, but he was not anxious at all, he was still drinking the "True Fire Spirit Spring".
This third stage of Spiritual Wheel was extremely crucial in order to allow the Spiritual Wheel to transform more easily into a spirit pellet.
Whether it was Mu Yan or Gu Ying, both of them had stopped at this stage for a very long time. Tang Huan did not plan to be an exception, luckily he had "True Fire Spirit Spring", which could greatly shorten the time that he had to stay at this stage.
In the blink of an eye another few days pa.s.sed.
On top of the two layers of Spiritual Wheel s within Tang Huan"s Dantian, a round shaped illusion finally appeared, and condensed into substance with an astonis.h.i.+ng speed.
"Third stage of Spiritual Wheel! Stage Six Martial Master! "
Tang Huan"s eyes suddenly opened, and with the three levels of circulation, the Genuine Qi in his body surged like a tide, a tyrannical aura burst out of his body like a volcanic eruption, and in that moment, it turned into a tornado that swept out in all directions.
