Chapter 28: Learning the Cloud-Slashing Technique a Little Early

Shi Xunfei and Old Man Zhang sat cross-legged, looking at the scenery of Bianzhi Cliff.

Now the strong wind at Bianzhi Cliff had no effect on Shi Xunfei at all. Old Man Zhang began to slowly explain the Cloud-Slashing Art.

The Cloud-Slashing Technique is one of the few martial arts of the Wind Whispering Warrior that originated from the ancient Flying Spirit Clan.

It was also the biggest gain of Old Man Zhang’s trip to the Valley of Broken Souls decades ago.

There are five volumes in old man Zhang's hand, which are suitable for practice by Wind Whisperer Warriors above the entry level. With the Cloud-Slashing Technique, they can reach the threshold of transformation.

Generally, the skills that can impact the threshold of the objective lens are extremely precious.

With Shi Xunfei's current strength, practicing the Zhanyun Jue is definitely advanced education.

But the uneasiness in Old Man Zhang's heart made him determined to pass the Cloud-Slaying Art to Shi Xunfei before going to the Valley of Broken Souls.

In this way, even if something unexpected happened to him, no matter how far Shi Xunfei had practiced, this unique skill would not be lost to the world.

As the name suggests, the Cloud-Chopping Art has the power to cut through clouds and stop the flow of water. The Moon-Chopping Art has six volumes.

The first is the Half Moon Scroll, followed in order by the Whirlwind Scroll, the Wild Sword Scroll, the Heavy Weapon Scroll, the Style and Intention Scroll, and finally the Sky Breaking Scroll. If you can finish learning half of the Style and Intention Scroll, you have already entered the realm of transformation.

It can truly cut through the clouds and stop the flow of water.

Old man Zhang had only mastered half of the Heavy Weapon Scroll, and for unknown reasons he could not improve the rest at all.

This is the main reason why he has been unable to evolve his habitat for so many years.

Half a step away, it sounds close, but in reality it is a gap in the sky. This trip to the Valley of Broken Souls, let's see if we can find the missing half volume.

It can be regarded as finding an answer to the Zhanyun Jue that I have been practicing for half my life.

If it weren't for the bottleneck that he had been constrained for more than ten years, Old Man Zhang would never have ventured into the Valley of Broken Souls again just to refine the Fire Pill!

Old man Zhang took out five prayer wheels one by one. Shi Xunfei looked at the small golden cylindrical prayer wheels, the outside of which were densely engraved with incomprehensible words and patterns.

"Master, what is this?" Shi Xunfei was very curious.

"The Sutra Tube contains the practice method of Zhan Yun Jue." said Old Man Zhang.

"It's so beautiful. Didn't Master say there were six volumes? Why are there only five prayer wheels?" Shi Xunfei asked.

Holding a prayer wheel in your hand, you can feel fine lines of varying depths.

The pattern on the outside looks like a floral pattern at first glance, but upon closer inspection it looks like words that I don’t recognize.

"To be precise, it is four and a half volumes, and the meaning of the style is only half a volume. Do you want to practice to the sixth volume? First, see if you can open the sutra cylinder. Okay, stick out your thumb."

Old man Zhang's finger knife flashed, cut Shi Xunfei's finger, and dripped a drop of blood on each of the five prayer flags.

Recite the ancient Feiling clan's spell again. The secret spell of dripping blood is the most helpless way to activate it when you are not strong enough.

"Come and take it." Zhang Laituo asked Shi Xunfei to pick up a prayer wheel.

"Don't think too much, just slowly inject your wind spiritual power." said Old Man Zhang.

"See if you can operate the Half Moon Scroll without the secret spell."

The prayer wheel can test the strength of the user, if the prayer wheel cannot be activated.

It only means that the wind spirit power in the body is too low to be driven. So the only option is to use the backup plan.

Shi Xunfei slowly injected wind spiritual power, and the inner layer of the prayer wheel began to rotate slowly.

The mantras of cultivation and the images of the circulation of meridians seemed to have legs and spread into Shi Xunfei's mind.

If there are any obscure parts, you can stop and read carefully, and there are annotations by past practitioners. The magic of the prayer wheel opened Shi Xunfei's eyes.

"Your boy?"

Old man Zhang was amazed that Shi Xunfei could directly drive the tornado. What kind of strong medicine did this silly boy take?

According to Old Man Zhang, he was afraid that Shi Xunfei's spiritual power was too low to function.

I just prepared a special blood dripping spell to open it. Let Shi Xunfei get the right to explore the Sutra Roll first.

He planned to practice the Half Moon Scroll slowly when his strength allowed, but he didn’t expect that he could actually operate the Half Moon Scroll directly!

(Precious skills are passed down from generation to generation through the Sutra Tube. The Sutra Tube needs to be passed down within the same lineage. The Sutra Tube of the Wind Whispering Warrior can only be opened by the Wind Whispering Warrior, and other warriors cannot open it.

All prayer wheels can be set with forbidden spells. They can only be opened if the spell is correct. If you don’t have enough strength to break the spell by force, you will only destroy the prayer wheel.)

The Cloud-Slashing Art can be said to be the key for Old Man Zhang to enter the upper level.

Passing on such an important skill to Shi Xunfei at this time had a bit of a farewell meaning, but Shi Xunfei didn't quite understand it.

The ancient Feiling clan's martial art, the Cloud-Slashing Art, requires extremely high talent from the Wind-Speaking Warrior.

It is necessary to greatly compress the wind spiritual power through one's own meridians, and then release it to show great power.

The space where the wind spiritual power exists is extremely large. If the extreme compression is not mastered well, the weapon may explode when it is output, and the meridians of the practitioner may burst in the worst case.

Although Old Man Zhang knew that the Cloud-Slashing Art was very powerful, it was indeed a bit early to teach Shi Xunfei now.

Unexpectedly, today Shi Xunfei was able to drive the Half Moon Scroll with his own wind spiritual power.

It is better to do it now than to wait for a day. Let's see if Shi Xunfei can perform the Half Moon Wind Blade.

The Valley of Broken Souls is imminent, and we have to rush it.

The Cloud Shuttle Flying Knife was far from enough. Even though Shi Xunfei had learned some Cloud Slashing Technique, he had some ability to protect himself in the mercenary camp.

But no one would have thought that the Cloud-Slashing Technique was the most suitable martial art for Shi Xunfei.

With the gift of earth veins, the meridians in his body are very thin, and according to common sense, he is unable to perform high-level wind language skills.

However, Shi Xunfei's meridians have become very elastic through the two-way regulation of the Fire Refining Pill and the Shuofeng, which is unimaginable in other people.

Therefore, Shi Xunfei's meridians can absorb a lot of wind spiritual power through his elastic veins without him having to be too deliberate.

Ordinary flow can compress the wind spiritual power very well.

As long as the compression ratio during release is controlled well, the power of the Cloud-Slashing Technique can be released well.

Old man Zhang drew out the Yan Gu Sword and displayed the Half Moon Scroll. The Half Moon Scroll mainly taught two basic starting moves of the Cloud-Slashing Art, the Half Moon Wind Blade and the Cloud-Piercing Beam.

Old man Zhang will personally demonstrate and explain all the basic skills of the Wind Whispering Warriors.

As for the further extensions, it is up to Shi Xunfei to figure it out on his own. If he really doesn't understand, he can ask Old Man Zhang.

The Wind Whisperer Warrior's martial arts emphasize freedom the most. Even if two people practice the same set of martial arts, their understanding and emphasis are different, so their use will be very different.

Zhang Lao's own experience in cultivation can only be used as a reference, not as the sole basis. If Shi Xunfei follows Zhang Lao's instructions step by step, he will definitely fail.

The power of the Half-Moon Wind Blade amplified by the Yan Gu Sword is extraordinary. One swing of the sword is like cutting the entire wind, splitting the wind originally in the same direction into two halves, left and right, forming a half-moon closed loop. The sound of the Half-Moon Wind Blade cutting towards him stimulated Shi Xunfei's eardrums, and with a "swoosh" it cut a row of large trees in the distance in half!

"Master, you are so powerful!" Shi Xunfei was shocked by the power of the Crescent Wind Blade and couldn't help but shout.

"Don't flatter me, look carefully. Next is the Cloud Piercing Beam." Old Man Zhang took up his strength with the Yan Gu Sword, gathered his wind spirit power, and thrust out with his sword. With a "boom", the surrounding wind seemed to have forcibly cut a path. The strong wind directly penetrated several large trees in front, leaving a round hole as thick as a fist. Old Man Zhang put away the Yan Gu Sword, and was a little surprised that the Yan Gu Sword had a great impact on the Cloud Piercing Beam.

Looking back at Shi Xunfei, whose mouth was wide open enough to fit a small egg, he asked, "How's it going, have you learned it?"

Old man Zhang said with a proud look on his face.

"Master, please swing slower. It was a bit too fast just now and I was a little confused." Shi Xunfei stuck out his tongue embarrassedly. He was just busy sighing and didn't look carefully.

"Silly boy, this is the last time, watch carefully. If you still can't learn it, I'll shoot you to death." Old man Zhang knew in his heart that anyone who could understand such a high-level wind language skill as Zhan Yun Jue after just two attempts was truly a genius.

Old man Zhang demonstrated it again, and Shi Xunfei said, "Master, let me try it first, and you can help me see what's wrong."

You just tried it twice and you tried it yourself. Old man Zhang was full of doubts.

You little earth vein kid, if you don't practice down to earth and just brag about your ability, I'll show you how I'm going to punish you.

Shi Xunfei drew out the Ruyi Blade. The entry-level Half Moon Slash did not need to be as powerful as Old Man Zhang's.

What needs to be mastered is the bidirectional wind spiritual power. The compressed wind spiritual power rotates in different directions on the double edges of the Ruyi Blade.

At the moment of intersection, throw it out, timing and strength are indispensable.

The wind spiritual power in both directions should be relatively consistent, with a slight unevenness.

The two wind spiritual forces on the Ruyi Blade will lose balance and disperse on the sword, making it impossible to form a blade.

It must be thrown out at the moment when the two directions intersect, a moment earlier or a moment later.

All of these will prevent the Half Moon Wind Blade from escaping from the sword and becoming a blade, wasting wind spiritual power unnecessarily.

Two streams of wind spiritual power began to flow on the blade of the Ruyi Blade.

After training with the Cloud Shuttle Flying Knife, Shi Xunfei has mastered his wind spiritual power very well.

Two-way flow, whispering and concentrating, the spirit blades intersect and spin out into a blade. Half-moon wind blade, thrown out!

The power was not great, a thin wind blade that flew not far and dissipated in the wind.

It's far behind Old Man Zhang's, but it can already be considered the prototype of the Half Moon Wind Blade.

"You..." Old man Zhang found it hard to imagine that his stupid disciple could throw out a half-moon wind blade after watching the demonstration twice.

"It's just a fancy trick, it doesn't have any power, let's try the Guanyunshu again."

Old man Zhang coughed twice to hide his surprise, and changed the subject to see if Shi Xunfei could use Guanyun Shu.

The purpose of Guanyunshu is to stack layers of wind spiritual power and then output it in a straight line through the tip of the sword.

If the stacking is not done properly, the weapon may explode at best, or even backfire on the caster himself.

The superimposed cloud-penetrating beams are like springs, storing the wind force inside.

It is then emitted in a linear manner, which makes it several levels more difficult than the Half Moon Wind Blade.

After Old Man Zhang finished speaking, he was actually very regretful. Shi Xunfei could try the Half Moon Wind Blade, but the Guan Yun Shu was too dangerous.

At this time, Shi Xunfei's earth veins helped a lot. The wind spiritual power in his body had already been compressed by his meridians.

Compared with other Tianmai warriors, there is no need to additionally control the compressed output of wind spiritual power.

The wind spiritual power poured into the Ruyi Blade one layer, two layers, three layers! The third layer was already Shi Xunfei's limit, and the wind spiritual power in his body had been swept away.

There was no deliberate guidance of the direction of Guanyunshu's attack. He compressed the three layers, concentrated on swinging the sword, put his strength into the sword, and attacked in one direction.

"Swish", the Cloud-piercing Beam flew out from the sword and went straight up into the sky. The continuous use of the Half-Moon Wind Blade and the Cloud-piercing Beam had exhausted Shi Xunfei.

He was no longer able to change direction, but he did use the Guanyun Shu without any damage!
