We're practicing all martial arts, so why did you switch to easy mode?

"you're awake?"

He didn't know how long he had been asleep when the sound of the Heaven-Slaying Blade reached his ears, waking the dazed Su Chen.

Upon hearing this voice, Su Chen abruptly opened his eyes, his consciousness returning instantly.

Memories from before flooded his mind, and as he looked around, he immediately realized that this place was different from where the Divine Fruit Tree had been.

“When you suddenly fainted, Hongyue tried to steal the Divine Fruit. I stopped Hongyue for you, but Huang Yunfei was also watching you closely. To prevent the two of them from joining forces against you, I had no choice but to abandon the Divine Fruit tree and leave with you and some of the Divine Fruit. We are still in the Wisteria Mountains, but I don’t know exactly where.”

The weak voice of Duan Tiandao came through. He spoke in a relaxed tone, but the situation was actually more serious than he described.

When he was leaving with Su Chen, he was ambushed by Huang Yunfei and almost lost his life. If they hadn't fought desperately, he and Su Chen would probably have died.

However, he was always proud and arrogant, so naturally he wouldn't tell Su Chen the whole story.

After a pause, Duan Tiandao asked curiously, "By the way, what exactly happened to you? Why did you suddenly faint for no reason? If I hadn't protected you in time, you would have been killed by that wretched woman."

Upon hearing this, Su Chen smiled, but the smile was full of bitterness. He did not answer the question; he couldn't very well tell Duan Tiandao that he had fainted because he had swallowed too many Divine Fruits at once.

"It should be related to supernatural powers!" Su Chen shook his head without going into details.

Duan Tiandao was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't press for details. He knew that Su Chen would speak when he wanted to.

"I need to rest and recuperate first."

Curious about the panel's contents, Su Chen left a message and closed his eyes to rest, then used his consciousness to access the panel.

"The Annihilation Sword Drawing Technique has indeed improved!"

After consuming fifty Divine Fruits, the requirements of the character's stats were already met, and the Annihilation Draw Sword Technique was thus enhanced, becoming even more powerful.

but--

"It's no longer called the Annihilation Sword Drawing Technique, but the Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique!"

If Su Chen remembered correctly, the Annihilation Blade Drawing Technique was not a supernatural power. Now that he had consumed the Supernatural Power Fruit and advanced in level, wouldn't that mean that the Heaven-Slaying Blade Drawing Technique was a supernatural power?

Thinking of this, Su Chen examined his entire body internally and quickly discovered that a seed of divine power had condensed within him.

This supernatural power, though different in origin from the previous Annihilation Sword Drawing Technique, both contain sword energy, sword momentum, and sword intent.

However, unlike the Annihilation Sword Drawing Technique, the Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique contains supernatural power.

In other words, as Su Chen thought, the Demon-Slaying Sword Technique has now evolved into a supernatural power!

"Moreover, I mastered this supernatural ability through my own cultivation!"

The power of primordial chaos only absorbs the power of the five elements; strictly speaking, it cannot be considered a supernatural power.

But the Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique is different; it is a genuine divine ability that can be cultivated using a panel.

According to Su Chen's observation, at present, the Heaven-Slaying Blade Drawing Technique can be considered at most a minor supernatural power.

However, Su Chen didn't care; his minor supernatural power would eventually be upgraded to a major supernatural power.

After all, the Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique is not like the Primordial Chaos Power, which can be improved by using the panel.

"The panel shows that the next upgrade will require one hundred Divine Power Fruits."

Su Chen looked at the conditions on the panel and couldn't help but sigh. One hundred Divine Power Fruits—the panel really knew how to give him a difficult problem.

If it's one hundred this time, then next time it'll be two hundred, three hundred... five hundred, one thousand...

hiss.

Thinking of this, Su Chen's mouth opened and closed slightly, and a faint sound of gasping for breath came from between his teeth.

"However, compared to the improvement of the Boundless Vajra Iron Shirt Technique, the Heaven-Slaying Draw Sword Technique seems much simpler."

Since Su Chen entered the Divine Power Realm, he has rarely stopped improving the progress of the Boundless Vajra Iron Cloth.

The reason is simple: the conditions for improving the Boundless Vajra Iron Shirt technique are much more demanding than those for the Heaven-Slaying Draw Sword technique.

The condition is met only if one cultivates all ten minor supernatural abilities to their limit.

Although Su Chen currently possesses four different levels of supernatural abilities, namely the Blood Transformation Technique, the Heavenly Wood Technique, the Great and Small Ruyi, and the Flood of Jinshan Temple, he has only truly mastered the Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique to its limit.

The Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique was only recently mastered.

“There’s still a long way to go!”

Su Chen sighed softly, no longer dwelling on it. He opened his eyes, looked at the Broken Sky Blade, and frowned: "You're injured?"

"No, no, you've mistaken me!" Duan Tiandao said, slightly flustered, and quickly denied it.

But Su Chen's eyesight was incredibly sharp; he saw through the deception at a glance.

So he stretched out his hand, and a powerful primordial energy enveloped the Heaven-Slaying Blade.

The primordial power, which combines the power of Nine-Turn Glazed Fire, the power of plants and trees, the power of thunder, the power of the Golden Bell, the power of Black Water, and the spirit of Yellow Sand, is not only astonishing in its power, but also has the effect of healing. Now, Su Chen is demonstrating it to the fullest extent.

Before long, the Broken Sky Blade began to recover from its injuries as it was washed by this gentle power, and its aura rose to a level that could be felt on the skin.

In about half a day, the Heaven-Slaying Blade was completely healed, and its brilliance returned.

"Haha, it feels so good to recover from my injuries." Duan Tian Dao became energetic and vigorous, darting through the forest.

Seeing this, Su Chen smiled, then his eyes turned cold, revealing a hint of killing intent.

It wasn't aimed at Duan Tian Dao, but at Hong Yue and Huang Yunfei.

He left behind Red Moon and Xuan Tian Python to facilitate their navigation, while he left Huang Yunfei behind to seize his supernatural powers.

In the end, only the Xuan Tian Python died.

Not only did Hongyue survive, but she also severely injured Duan Tiandao, almost killing him.

How can I prevent him from having murderous intent?

But it doesn't matter, he left a primordial spirit mark on Hongyue.

Thinking of this, Su Chen quickly released his primordial spirit to sense the primordial spirit mark left on Hong Yue.

"Still there!"

He was slightly taken aback, not expecting to sense it so quickly. This meant that Hongyue had not discovered the primordial spirit mark, which was good news for him.

Su Chen waved his hand, summoning back the Heaven-Slaying Blade.

Duan Tiandao asked, "What's wrong?"

"Pack up, we should leave," Su Chen replied. Duan Tiandao had no objections, but asked with some curiosity, "Where to?"

"kill!"

……

Outside the Wisteria Mountains.

“Miss Hongyue, we have been waiting here for almost a month, and this person has not come out yet. Could it be that he has already left the Wisteria Mountain Range?” An old man with gray hair expressed his thoughts.

"Elder Yan, this person possesses a large number of Divine Power Fruits and has also caused the deaths of many disciples from our Huangsha Sect and Blood Shadow Sect. We will not rest until he is killed. Miss Hongyue has his primordial spirit imprint on her body. If we want to kill him, we can only rely on his primordial spirit imprint."

The primordial spirit mark was left on Hong Yue by Su Chen. In fact, Huang Yunfei and others had already discovered it, but they did not erase it. Because they encountered Elder Yan and others from Huangsha Sect along the way, they devised a plan to deliberately leave it on her body, intending to use it to lure Su Chen out.

Unexpectedly, after waiting for half a month, Su Chen still did not appear, which made Elder Yan and the others have strange thoughts. They guessed that Su Chen might have already left. As for whether Su Chen had discovered them and therefore disappeared, everyone thought it was impossible.

If Su Chen really came to the vicinity, he would definitely be discovered by Elder Yan and the others. As a martial artist who had achieved minor success in supernatural abilities, Elder Yan could not possibly fail to discover a martial artist who had not even mastered minor supernatural abilities.

Elder Yan naturally understood this principle. If it weren't for this person killing Huang Shamen's people and Huang Yunfei's strong demand to kill this person, he would have waited at most half a month. It was only because of the Divine Power Fruit that he waited an extra half a month.

However, after a month, he couldn't help but doubt Hongyue and Huang Yunfei's ideas. He felt that continuing to wait might not be enough to catch up with Su Chen, so it was better to give up. In any case, as long as Su Chen appeared in the Yellow Sand Desert, with the power of their three major sects, they would definitely be able to find him.

Why waste time waiting here?

Elder Yan did not speak, lest he offend both Hongyue and Huang Yunfei, two true disciples.

He was just an inner sect elder. Although he was stronger than the two of them, he was not as high-ranking as them.

If it weren't for the fact that the two of them were injured and he happened to be there, he wouldn't normally have been allowed to interact with them.

Perhaps, neither of them would even be willing to look down at him.

"How about this, Elder Yan? Let's wait three more days. If this person doesn't show up after three days, then we'll leave. I'll compensate Elder Yan for the losses of these three days by giving you ten thousand Yellow Yuan Pills as compensation. What do you think?"

Hongyue noticed Elder Yan's reluctance and spoke up.

Upon hearing this, Huang Yunfei frowned and was about to speak when Hongyue stopped him.

Upon hearing this, Elder Yan pondered for a moment before politely replying, "Miss Hongyue is too kind. Since Miss Hongyue has said so, I would gladly accompany you for ten days or even half a month, let alone three days."

"Then I'll have to trouble Elder Yan." Hongyue pursed her lips and thanked him.

Suddenly.

Elder Yan's smile vanished, and he turned his gaze forward, exclaiming in surprise, "Someone is approaching us without any concealment, and among them is a divine weapon. Could it be the Su Chen you mentioned?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Yunfei and Hongyue followed Elder Yan's gaze and indeed saw a familiar figure flying rapidly towards them, like a point of light quickly approaching in their line of sight and rapidly enlarging in their pupils.

"It is indeed Su Chen. This kid has finally dared to show his face!" Huang Yunfei sneered, and upon seeing Su Chen, a fierce aura emanated from him.

The thought of being brutally beaten by Su Chen before filled him with rage.

Since he began cultivating, he had never suffered such humiliation. Every time he thought about it, he wished he could grab Su Chen and avenge himself.

After a month of healing, his strength has improved, and his understanding of supernatural powers has advanced further.

With his strength greatly increased, he became even more eager to wait for Su Chen so that he could take revenge.

Su Chen's appearance was exactly what he wanted, directly igniting the killing intent that had been building up in his heart for a long time.

His heart was pounding wildly, and he desperately wanted to rush out and kill Su Chen.

However, reason calmed him down, and his eyes remained fixed on Su Chen, not moving an inch.

Hongyue shared the same thoughts as him, and even hated Su Chen more than Huang Yunfei.

She wished she could capture Su Chen, cripple his cultivation, and make him serve her like a slave from then on, subjecting him to extreme humiliation and torture, making him wish he were dead!

Under the different gazes of the three people, Su Chen arrived quickly.

He stared at the three people in front of him, slightly taken aback, seemingly surprised that there was an extra person.

But he soon discovered that the extra person's aura was the same as Huang Yunfei's, and immediately guessed that the other party must be the helper that Huang Yunfei had invited.

"It seems you discovered my primordial spirit imprint a long time ago. The reason you didn't erase it was to wait for me to walk into your trap? But you've only brought a few reinforcements. If it's just one person, I'm afraid it might not be enough for me to kill!"

Su Chen spoke arrogantly, showing no regard for Elder Yan.

Elder Yan had been waiting for Su Chen for so long, and his anger was already pent up. Upon hearing these words, he immediately took a step forward and snorted coldly: "Such arrogance! But true strength is not something you can achieve with words, but with fists. No matter how strong your words are, without strength, you will only bring shame upon yourself in the end!"

As he spoke, he turned to Hongyue and Huang Yunfei and said, "Yunfei, Miss Hongyue, you don't need to bother with this person. Although I am only a minor master of the Divine Power Realm, I have cultivated here for over a thousand years. My strength, even if it is not among the top ten in the entire Yellow Sand Desert, is still a well-known figure. Dealing with this person is a piece of cake!"

Su Chen didn't take him seriously, but he didn't take Su Chen seriously either.

Huang Yunfei and Hongyue did not try to be brave, but nodded one after another and said, "Then we will trouble Elder Yan to remember to spare his dog's life!"

"Alright." Elder Yan readily agreed, then turned to Su Chen and shouted, "Boy, let's see who's the real deal!"

Despite Elder Yan's seemingly disparaging remarks about Su Chen, he was exceptionally experienced.

Before he could finish speaking, he attacked without giving Su Chen a chance to react.

With a loud shout, Elder Yan stepped into the void and his body exploded like a cannonball, instantly soaring into the sky.

Looking down at Su Chen from his high vantage point, he then flipped his palm, instantly absorbing the power of the surrounding yellow sand.

The yellow sand rose from the ground, like countless sand dunes soaring into the sky, converging towards Elder Yan.

Soon, a huge sand cloud condensed, blocking out the light and bringing darkness to the earth and Su Chen.

Something astonishing seemed to be happening within the sand clouds, constantly churning, contracting, condensing, and changing.

Finally, a colossal mountain formed from solidified yellow sand appeared before Su Chen's eyes as if by divine intervention, its grandeur palpable.

All these changes happened in an instant; from gathering yellow sand to condensing mountains, the time that occurred was but a moment.

This method is far more sophisticated than that of Huang Yunfei and Hongyue.

Su Chen's eyes also showed a hint of solemnity because of the appearance of this mountain.

Needless to say, the moment the mountain appeared, he realized that he was no match for it.

So without hesitation, he abandoned Su Chen and fell behind to avoid being caught in the crossfire.

He has just recovered from his injuries and is not fit to fight. I believe Su Chen will understand.

Su Chen had no intention of using the Heaven-Slaying Blade; he wanted to test the power of the Heaven-Slaying Blade Drawing Technique.

Just as Su Chen was about to make his move, a cold voice descended from the heavens: "Mountain and River Great Handprint!" (End of Chapter)
