Martial Arts: The Secret Villain Starting from Huashan

"Moreover, I only learned this skill by chance. Compared with your hidden weapon skills that have been cultivated over the years and have reached perfection, it really pales in comparison."

"Each shot of your [Date Core Nail] contains deep inner strength and exquisite calculations, as if it can see into people's hearts and predict opportunities. This level, I can only look up to you now."

In Xu Xingchen's words, there was an admiration that was difficult to conceal from the bottom of his heart, because he knew very well that Qiu Ganchi's own hidden weapon skills were extraordinary, and his use of the [Date Pit Nail] had already reached the level of perfection.

Upon hearing the sound, Qiu Ganchi first let out a hearty laugh, with a bit of complacency and pride in his voice, and it was obvious that he was quite satisfied with his hidden weapon skill of [Date Pit Nail].

But then, Qiu Ganchi's pride did not last long. She quickly restrained her smile and returned to her usual calmness and seriousness. On her ferocious face, her deep eyes flashed with a firm light, as if she could see through everything, and said seriously.

"Xu, you have a very sharp vision, but you don't need to be too modest. I see that you are very young, but you have already mastered martial arts. Moreover, you are very intelligent, and your future is definitely limitless."

"If the two of us can work together, we can definitely let that old villain Gongsun Zhi have a taste of our power."

Her words were full of admiration and expectations for Xu Xingchen, because Qiu Ganchi could see the potential and talent in this young man, and she knew that Xu Xingchen was by no means an ordinary person.

The future achievements will certainly be limitless. Qiu Ganchi is full of confidence and expectations for Xu Xingchen.

"Okay, Senior Qiu, let's go out first. We'll talk after we get out."

Xu Xingchen said slowly.

The voice was calm and firm, obviously a conclusion reached after careful consideration. Xu Xingchen knew that at this moment, they were in a crisis-ridden environment, and every moment of their stay was precious.

All of these may bring unknown dangers, so Xu Xingchen hopes that he, Qiu Ganchi, and Gongsun Lue'e can leave here as soon as possible, find a safe place, and then discuss countermeasures in detail.

"I have already used my Qinggong to go up and check the terrain. I can get out, but I need to make a long rope."

Xu Xingchen continued to explain, his eyes flashing with wisdom, and he had obviously found a way out. However, this way out was not easy and required them to make a long rope.

Afterwards, Xu Xingchen took out a sharp dagger from the system space. The dagger flashed coldly in the dim light. It was obvious that this dagger was a rare weapon.

Xu Xingchen first walked cautiously to the ancient jujube tree and carefully selected a thick and smooth trunk as his target. Then, he swung his dagger and skillfully cut off a long strip of bark.

Gongsun Lu'e witnessed all this, and a hint of surprise flashed in her beautiful eyes. She hurried over to help. Her movements were swift and graceful, like an elf leaping in the woods.

With the help of Gongsun Lu'e, the two began to twist the bark together. They first spread the cut bark flat on the ground, then each held one end, pulling and twisting it in opposite directions.

During this process, both Xu Xingchen and Gongsun Lue'e needed great patience and tacit understanding, because the slightest carelessness might cause the bark to break or become uneven in thickness. However, Xu Xingchen and Gongsun Lue'e seemed to have been prepared for this, and their movements were coordinated and their cooperation was seamless.

As time went by, beads of sweat gradually seeped out of the foreheads of Xu Xingchen and Gongsun Lu'e, but they did not slack off at all. They knew that the quality of this bark rope would directly affect the success of the next operation.

Therefore, they had to go all out and not be careless or negligent. After more than two hours of unremitting efforts, an extremely long bark rope was finally born in their hands.

This rope is not only incredibly long, but also has uniform thickness and tough texture. It looks very strong and durable. Xu Xingchen and Gongsun Lu'e smiled at each other, their eyes filled with a sense of accomplishment and joy.

Xu Xingchen held the rope tightly with both hands, as if he wanted to integrate it into his body. He pulled hard, pouring all his strength into it each time to ensure that the rope could withstand the upcoming adventure.

After several fierce tests, Xu Xingchen finally nodded with satisfaction, confirming that the rope was strong enough and would not break when he needed it most. Then, he drew a sharp dagger from his waist.

The sword flashed with cold light, revealing a sharpness and danger that could not be ignored. Xu Xingchen easily used the short sword to cut off a branch of the jujube tree, which was about fifteen feet long.

It was of moderate thickness, neither too heavy nor too thin, exactly the ideal tool he needed. He carefully tied one end of the rope to the middle of the tree trunk and tied a firm knot to ensure that it was secure.

Afterwards, Xu Xingchen took a deep breath, tapped the ground lightly with his feet, and flew into the air like a light swallow. He displayed the Tomb School's unique light skill [Catching Birds Skill].

Xu Xingchen used the uneven surfaces of the stone wall to move left and right, up and down, like a bird flying freely in the air, climbing quickly and steadily to the end of the stone wall.

When Xu Xingchen finally climbed to the top of the rock wall, a barely perceptible smile appeared on his handsome face, but Xu Xingchen did not stop or hesitate at all.

He immediately changed his martial arts style and began to perform another unique skill [Whirlwind Sweeping Leaf Kick]. Xu Xingchen's legs spun like fallen leaves in the wind, and with an irresistible force, he stepped firmly on the smooth stone wall.

At this moment, he was like an unshakable mountain, standing still despite wind and rain.

Finally, Xu Xingchen exerted his strength in his arms to the extreme and let out a deafening shout.

"Get up!"

Following this angry shout, Xu Xingchen swung the tree trunk in his hand violently, and the tree trunk flew out of the cave like an arrow, breaking the tranquility of the air.

At this moment, Xu Xingchen used his strength just right, as if after hundreds of practices and calculations, he controlled the force accurately, so that the thick tree trunk fell slowly and lay horizontally on the cave entrance.

One end of the trunk landed steadily on the rock at the edge of the cave, while the other end extended out cleverly, with most of the weight falling on the solid ground outside the cave. Only a small section in the middle was suspended in the air, only a few feet away.

Xu Xingchen held the rope tightly in his hand, his eyes revealing determination and confidence. He pulled the rope carefully, guiding the tree trunk to further adjust its position until he was sure that both ends were firmly supported.

It was enough to bear his entire weight and even more pressure. Every time he pulled it, Xu Xingchen was fully focused, fearing that there would be the slightest mistake. After completing all the preparations, Xu Xingchen gently patted the dust on his hands, and a satisfied smile appeared on his handsome face.

Then, Xu Xingchen turned around and shouted loudly towards the bottom of the cliff, with unquestionable power in his voice.

"Senior Qiu! Miss Gongsun! You guys just wait down there for a while. I'll go up there to explore the situation. Don't worry, I'll be careful and make sure everything goes well!"

As the words fell, Xu Xingchen took a deep breath and began to prepare to climb. He first checked whether his body and the rope were secure, then found a stable fulcrum and pushed hard with both hands.

He jumped up lightly and climbed quickly up the tree trunk. Every step Xu Xingchen took seemed so steady and powerful, as if he had walked this road countless times and knew every detail well.

At the same time, Xu Xingchen was struggling to climb up the steep rock wall. Every step he took showed his indomitable will and desire for freedom. He lowered his head and looked down, only to see the figures of Qiu Ganchi and Gongsun Lue'e, mother and daughter, becoming increasingly blurred in the deepening twilight.

Finally, they slowly turned into two lonely little black shadows, as if they were gently swallowed by the night. Afterwards, Xu Xingchen concentrated his strength in his hands more, and every muscle contraction pushed his body up faster, as if even the air was cheering him on.
