Fox Demon: This is the Guardian Blade

(I feel like my writing skills are really bad when I write novels… I look at other people’s novels, wow, they’re so smooth and concise, but when I look at my own… ugh… history… (つд?))

After a while, Chen Gou reappeared in the Changsheng Pavilion store.

Luo Luoshu had been waiting here for a long time. As soon as he saw his boss appear.

Without saying a word, he respectfully handed over the prepared tea on the wooden tray.

"Hiss~ I feel like I've been in a lot of trouble lately..."

Chen Gou picked up a cup of tea from the plate and drank it in one gulp.

After putting the teacup back on the wooden tray, he sighed softly.

As for Li Xueyang being kidnapped, it had nothing to do with him. It was someone else's family affair and it was not his place as an outsider to interfere.

But... it seems like Fanyin is going to come back today? What happened with Master Li... doesn't that mean she's not coming back?

Forget it...Fanyin is a smart girl, so I think nothing will happen.

Thinking of this, Chen Gou's figure flashed and disappeared from his seat.

Luo Luoshu seemed to be used to it. He flipped his hands and the wooden plate disappeared from his hands in an instant.

After greeting his men in the store and giving them some instructions, he walked towards the store with his hands behind his back. He was going to practice.

This is Chen Gou's room.

The space here is so large that it can no longer be considered a room.

Various equipment are neatly arranged inside, just like a laboratory...

But there are bookcases, wooden beds, and even flower pots inside... This is Chen Gou's room.

Located in Lijia City, in a branch, no one except Luo Luoshu knew that this was Chen Gou's room.

Just two words: safety!

Chen Gou also completes his daily training and research here.

He came here this time just to bring some things and prepare for what's coming next.

Chen Gou took some time to count the items he had prepared.

He just waved his hand and put all the things on the ground into the storage bag on his waist.

"And then there's... this..."

[Deduction: Shadow Step is being improved according to the designated route... 98% has been completed while continuing to consume energy points...]

Available Energy: 118 (Green)

Chen Gou muttered as he looked at the words on the translucent light blue panel.

In fact, as early as half a year ago, Chen Gou was researching whether there was any magical skill to escape and save his life.

And this Shadow-Covering Phantom Step is Chen Gou’s main research direction.

Although this footwork is useful when combined with the Breath-Containing Technique, Chen Gou feels that it is still not fast enough.

What he wanted was a secret method that could instantly reach a distance of at least ten miles.

Chen Gou felt that it was enough to combine the teleportation with some means to confuse the enemy.

Now with his cultivation level at the middle stage of foundation building, his normal sword flying speed is about 60 to 80 meters per second.

But if he uses a specially made flying sword, coupled with wind spells, the maximum speed can reach between 400 and 600 meters per second.

It looks fast, but the mana is consumed really fast.

When encountering someone as powerful as the Great Demon King, Chen Gou could still barely escape...

However, once you encounter a demon king level monster, the monster's normal speed is Chen Gou's limit speed, so what's the point of running?

Therefore, the skill of being able to cover a very long distance in an instant is extremely important to Chen Gou.

He had a hunch that although there was no major conflict between the human and demon races on the surface,

The relationship seems to have eased, but Chen Gou has a feeling that a storm is about to come. After this is over... he must work hard to improve his strength!

Well! Let's lock him up for a hundred years.

A few days later…

Ever since Li Lao's daughter was abducted, no major incidents have occurred in Licheng.

People continued to live their lives as usual, and Li Lao rarely disturbed Chen Gou.

This made Chen Gou, who was in a state of cultivation, feel much more relaxed.

[Skill: Void Shadow Step [Blue] (Proficient)

Details: After further refinement, this footwork seems to have the power to touch space? Furthermore, each step leaves a phantom to confuse the enemy. It seems there's still room for improvement.

Available energy points: 8.2 (green)

Analysis: Heaven and Earth Sword progress 38.7% (skill), King Sword progress 27.9% (magic weapon)

The one above is the footwork that Chen Gou has researched for half a year. He has tried it.

The footwork was obviously more flexible and faster, and as long as he mobilized a large amount of magic power, Chen Gou could indeed travel more than ten miles in an instant.

how to say?

It’s as if you are suddenly pulled to the other end of your destination.

It's like a plane, and you are a hundred meters away from your destination.

But you found a shortcut, folding the plane so that you can reach the other end with just one step.

However, there is still danger, because the moment you step in, countless terrifying void forces will want to tear you into pieces.

The Void Shadow Step is your umbrella, which can provide protection for a few tenths of a second.

Before that, you must quit, otherwise once the protection is gone... it will be over.

And you have to follow the brief traces left by the footsteps, otherwise you will get lost...Jiji.

Every step you take inside is more than just a step outside, it's dozens of miles!

Physical strength is also very important. If Chen Gou can withstand the tearing of the void power that day.

Crossing the void, crossing thousands of miles in an instant in reality is a piece of cake... in theory.

"Not bad! Very useful."

Chen Gou was moving back and forth in the huge room, so fast that even his afterimage could not be seen clearly.

Sometimes he appeared in front of the bed, and sometimes he appeared next to the equipment rack at the other end.

And the release speed is faster than before, which is what we call the afterswing is reduced. In short, it is very smooth.

"But... this thing from the Wang Quan family is really hard to analyze!"

After stopping, Chen Gou felt a headache looking at the analysis progress on the panel.

Although he had learned a lot through analysis, but these two big energy consumers... he was really afraid that he couldn't afford them.

This was a few years ago. In exchange, Chen Gou asked to see the Wang Quan Sword of the Dao League and the Wang Quan family.

And I want to see with my own eyes the legendary sword of heaven and earth.

Originally, Chen Gou thought that the other party would refuse, after all, this thing was the foundation of the Wang Quan family.

How could we let people see it casually? But the head of the Wang Quan family said that there was no problem.

It is possible, but you can only watch it. On the one hand, it is because the Taoist Alliance appreciates Chen Gou's talent.

On the other hand, he wanted to use this to suppress the boss of the newly rising force Changsheng Pavilion.

Let him see the true strength of the Dao Alliance... Of course, it's not just to intimidate Chen Gou... He doesn't have that much face.

Then Chen Gou saw with his own eyes...what the sword of heaven and earth meant.

The golden sword energy shot straight into the sky, cutting through the clouds.

The sharp sword energy seemed to cut the sky and earth apart. Chen Gou's heart skipped a beat when he saw it.

He finally witnessed... this sword of heaven and earth.

A single sword could split the sky apart... and could easily slay powerful demon kings... or even more.

......

"Never mind, I have to continue. These two things are very useful. One day... my sword will be able to cut through the sky, right?"

Chen Gou recalled the past with an unknown meaning in his eyes.

"But... I don't have enough energy points... I remember I still have some of the monsters I killed and some unwanted materials... I should convert them all into energy..."

Chen Gou searched for it and found it. The next second, Chen Gou used the system conversion function to turn them all into energy points.

[Conversion completed! 205 energy points gained (green)]

OK!

This will allow the analysis to continue for a while, Chen Gou thought as he watched the debris disappear in front of him.
