Taihuang Star Seal

Ding Chen stepped on Nangong Ao's lower back and pushed forward while pulling out the long sword that was inserted into the back of his head.

Just heard a "thump" sound -

The arrogant young master of the Nangong family from the imperial capital fell to the ground in a pool of blood...

Until this moment, Wei Sanniang has not yet recovered from her brain crash!

Her sexy red lips were half open, and surprise flashed in her eyes.

In her opinion, Nangong Ao, who was at the third level of the Condensation Spirit Realm, died in unclear circumstances!

It was clearly he who first launched nine "wind blades", cutting Ding Chen into several pieces in front of Wei Sanniang.

But how come Ding Chen came back to life in the blink of an eye?

Not only that, he appeared behind Nangong Ao without any warning, and killed him instantly with a single strike of his sword...

Even though Wei Sanniang, who was right next to the mine and witnessed everything that happened at the bottom of the mine tunnel, still couldn't figure out what had just happened...

As for Ding Chen at this time, he bent down and searched Nangong Ao inside and out.

In addition to several silver bills, he also found two small white porcelain bottles.

The bottles contained several top-grade [Healing Pills] and [Restoring Pills] of the Great Martial Realm.

Even though there are only a few pills in the porcelain bottle, this thing could easily be worth two or three million gold!

I have to say that cultivators in the Soul Condensation Realm are really generous!

In fact, this was because Nangong Ao, as a "son of a noble family", did not carry the real good things with him.

After all, he was led by his aunt to leave the imperial capital for "hunting".

Let me ask you, which "hunter" would carry all his belongings with him while hunting?

Nangong Ao doesn’t have a [storage ring] like his aunt!

He was able to carry tens of thousands of gold coins with him for emergency use, as well as a few [Healing Pills] to heal injuries and save lives, and [Restoring Pills] to quickly restore profound energy. This was considered quite well prepared...

After looting the spoils, Ding Chen directly opened the bottle stopper of [Restoring Pill] and swallowed all three pills inside!

The previous weapon refining, coupled with the sword strike just now, caused a great loss of the mysterious energy in Ding Chen's body.

He must quickly replenish his mystical energy in order to deal with the more difficult enemy outside the mine!

Then, Ding Chen made a move -

"Om~"

The moment the inspiration came to him, he had already put the corpse on the ground into his [Storage Ring].

Storage rings cannot hold living things with "self-awareness".

But there is naturally no problem in collecting a dead body!

At this time, Wei Sanniang finally came to her senses and asked in surprise: "Master, Master, what happened just now?"

"How did you kill this guy with just one sword? It's simply... amazing!"

Ding Chen did not hide it from her, and said to himself: "What I just performed was a mid-level spiritual level profound skill: "Spiritual Insight Double Shadow Sword"."

"W-what?"

"A mid-level spiritual skill?!"

Wei Sanniang's sexy red lips grew bigger.

Coming from the world of cultivation, she knew very well how rare "mid-grade spiritual skills" were in the secular world!

In the secular world, the vast majority of warriors, throughout their lives, have access to techniques and martial arts that are basically locked in the "Martial Body Realm" and "Awakening Meridians Realm".

For example, the "Three Major Families of Tieyan City" that she was familiar with, the skills and mystical techniques passed down from generation to generation were only of the middle and lower levels of the Awakening Veins Realm.

Even City Lord Xiao only practiced the "Upper Level Awakening Veins Realm" technique.

If it weren't for Xiao Zhenxiong's good luck, and if he hadn't taken a shortcut that few people knew about, the "Five Metals Summoning Spirits" shortcut...

Even if he practices hard until his death, he cannot break through the "Xuan Xiu Ling Jie" and be promoted to the Ning Ling realm cultivator!

Putting aside the martial arts techniques, Xiao Zhenxiong's most powerful killing move is nothing more than a top-grade "martial art" of the Awakening Meridians Realm.

Even so, as he practiced the top-grade skills and martial arts of the Awakening Meridians Realm, he was already a relatively upper-class figure in the entire Daqian Kingdom's system.

And the skills and techniques that can be called "Xuan Ji"...

Let alone Iron Rock City—

Even in the imperial capital, it is a priceless treasure, a clan treasure that is kept secret by the wealthy and powerful families!

As for the "mid-level spiritual skill" that Ding Chen just used, it was even more rare.

Count the various forces and thousands of noble families in the Daqian Kingdom.

The number of people who possess "mid-level spiritual skills" as a foundation does not even exceed five!

And now, Ding Chen's sword skills are of the middle level of spiritual rank...

Wei Sanniang suddenly felt that Nangong Ao, who was at the third level of the Condensation Spirit Realm, did not die unjustly at all!

Ding Chen thought that Nangong Ao had just died, and his aunt, who thought highly of herself, would definitely not enter the mine in the short term.

So, while he was sitting cross-legged on the ground, waiting for the effect of the [Resilience Pill] to take effect, he patiently explained a few more words to Wei Sanniang -

"The mystery of the "Spiritual Twin Swords" lies in the word 'twin shadows'."

"A person who performs swordsmanship can hide his or her 'true body' within the 'shadow' beforehand."

"Use the power of your skills to create a fake self that can confuse the enemy."

"Just like before, Nangong Ao thought he had killed me with his wind blade."

"But in reality, my real body jumped out from the 'shadow' and killed him with one sword!"

"The Twin Shadow Sword is more effective in hiding in the dark, so I extinguished the torch as soon as I came in."

Hearing this, Wei Sanniang suddenly realized: "So that's it!"

Seeing the gleam of eagerness in the woman's eyes, Ding Chen smiled faintly: "Why? You want to learn?"

"I can teach you when I have time!"

Wei Sanniang's eyes lit up and she nodded vigorously: "Hmm, thank you, Master~"

But then, she smiled awkwardly and waved her hands: "Well, forget it."

"I know that no matter how powerful a profound skill is, it can only be used by someone who can control it."

"Looking at the entire secular world, how many people can perform 'Spiritual Level Middle Grade Mystical Skills' at the level of 'Ninth Level of Awakening Veins' like you, Master?"

Wei Sanniang said this sincerely, without any flattery at all!

Because generally speaking, it is not uncommon for warriors with the cultivation base of the fourth or fifth level of the Awakening Meridians Realm to be able to perform "Awakening Meridians Realm Top Grade" martial arts.

After all, his own realm and the moves he used still belong to the category of "martial arts".

But Wei Sanniang had never heard of anyone like Ding Chen, who, as a "warrior" in the Awakening Pulse Realm, could skillfully display spiritual-level "mysterious skills"!

At this time.

The [Restoring Qi Pill] in Ding Chen's body takes effect.

The endless energy started from the stomach and intestines, flowed to the eight extraordinary meridians, and then filled into the Dantian bit by bit...

After a moment, Ding Chen frowned: "Forcibly activating a mid-level spiritual skill will cause great losses."

"The [Resilience Pill] I just took may not be able to replenish it."

"Xiao San'er, come here too and help me breathe."

"Oh, alright!"

Wei Sanniang hurriedly did as she was told.

At the same time, outside the tunnel.

Nangong Qiuyu stood proudly with her hands behind her back, gradually becoming a little anxious. She frowned and said, "It's just killing two weaklings at the ninth level of the Awakening Veins Realm. Why is that brat Nangong Ao taking so long?"
