Dual Cultivation: A Carefree Journey Through Another World, the Empress Falls into My Hands

Just now, Chu Yunfan swung his sword, widening the cave entrance, and a rich aura of spiritual energy instantly rushed towards them.

Chu Yunfan was stunned for a moment because he sensed this rich aura of spiritual energy from heaven and earth.

What truly surprised Chu Yunfan was the rich aura of spiritual energy emanating from the cave entrance before him.

"It seems there must be a secret hidden inside this cave!"

Chu Yunfan murmured to himself, then quickened his pace of digging.

Before long, a cave entrance large enough for one person to pass through appeared before Chu Yunfan.

Chu Yunfan glanced around and found the area completely quiet, indicating that the fourth-tier demonic beasts that had left had not yet returned.

So he immediately entered the cave that had just been dug.

Upon entering the cave, Chu Yunfan discovered that it was a completely different world inside.

Outside was clearly a narrow passage, no bigger than a fist.

Inside, however, was a huge cave.

Inside the cave, various gray-white stalactites emerge from the ground, jut out from the cave walls, or hang upside down from the cave ceiling. The surfaces of these stalactites also emit tiny, shimmering white lights, making the entire cave appear magnificent.

The key point is that the entire cave was filled with thick white mist.

The white mist gave Chu Yunfan an extremely comfortable feeling, as if he had returned to his mother's embrace.

Chu Yunfan couldn't help but take a deep breath, and then white mist, like a long white dragon, entered his mouth and nose.

Just as Chu Yunfan was enjoying himself, an extremely incredulous expression suddenly appeared on his face.

Because the bottleneck in his body at the mid-stage of the Martial Master realm suddenly disappeared automatically.

His cultivation level broke through to the mid-stage of Martial Master Realm without warning.

And this was clearly thanks to that puff of white mist just now.

Chu Yunfan stared wide-eyed at the white mist before him, his mind filled with doubt.

"What exactly is this white mist? It's so magical!"

However, before Chu Yunfan could get an answer to this question, a series of ear-piercing "squeaks" began to ring in his ears.

Then, Chu Yunfan saw that from all sides of the cave, grayish-white rats the size of fists kept crawling out from every corner.

In the blink of an eye, swarms of grayish-white rats had covered the entire cave, surrounding Chu Yunfan in layers, leaving no gaps.

Each of these grayish-white rats possessed a cultivation aura that was merely at the peak of the second tier.

If it were a one-on-one fight, Chu Yunfan could take down one with a single sword strike.

But now there are just too many of these gray and white rats, making Chu Yunfan's scalp tingle.

Immediately afterward, before Chu Yunfan could even recover from his shock...

Countless gray-white rats swarmed toward his body.

Seeing this, Chu Yunfan had no time to think of a countermeasure and instantly unleashed the "Gale Falling Leaves" move.

As a shower of blood fell, hundreds of gray-white rats instantly died under Chu Yunfan's sword.

However, the hundreds of gray-white rats that died were just a drop in the ocean compared to the entire group of gray-white rats.

More grayish-white rats were rapidly approaching Chu Yunfan's body.

Seeing this, Chu Yunfan had no better options and could only continue using the Whirlwind Falling Leaves technique.

However, these grayish-white rats seemed fearless, always taking advantage of the moment when their companions were blocking the sword energy to get close to Chu Yunfan.

Seeing a large group of grayish-white rats approaching within about ten feet of him, Chu Yunfan had no choice but to swing his sword while pondering how to deal with them.

He originally intended to fight and retreat, slowly withdrawing from the cave.

However, it turned out that these grayish-white rats seemed endless, completely blocking the entire burrow.

Even though he had killed many, he still couldn't see a single opening to escape.

Therefore, it seems that Chu Yunfan only has one choice left.

That means exterminating all of these grayish-white rats.

However, before Chu Yunfan could kill all the gray and white rats, they had already closed in and were within a meter of Chu Yunfan.

Suddenly, a grayish-white rat broke through Chu Yunfan's defenses and bit his calf.

Originally, Chu Yunfan didn't pay any attention to it.

After all, the inner disciple's robes he was wearing were low-grade defensive spiritual artifacts.

It's just a mouse, no need to worry about it.

But then, a "crack" sound suddenly came from his calf, startling Chu Yunfan.

He glanced out of the corner of his eye and noticed that the pant leg, which was comparable to a low-grade defensive magical artifact, had a small hole instantly appearing from the nibbling of the grayish-white rat.

Chu Yunfan's expression changed drastically, and he quickly kicked the gray-white rat away.

"What kind of teeth are these? They can even crush a low-grade spiritual weapon in an instant!"

Chu Yunfan was shocked.

Unfortunately, Chu Yunfan's rhythm was disrupted by that kick.

Immediately, more gray and white rats pounced on him.

Seeing this, Chu Yunfan dared not be careless and immediately unleashed his Wind Sword Intent, thus resolving the crisis in time.

However, as the gray-white rat got closer and closer, the "Falling Leaves in a Gale" move became less effective.

Therefore, Chu Yunfan had no choice but to change his moves to "Thousand Hundred Swords".

Chu Yunfan has now mastered the "Thousand Swords" technique to perfection, and can unleash a hundred swords in an instant.

With the added power of the Wind Spirit Sword, it can unleash one hundred and eighty sword strikes in an instant.

Instantly, all the gray-white rats that were near Chu Yunfan turned into a shower of blood.

"Huh? The defensive effect of 'Thousand Swords' is even stronger than that of 'Gale and Falling Leaves'!"

Chu Yunfan was surprised.

Before long, he figured out the answer to the question.

It turns out that the "Thousand Hundred Swords" sword technique is of a lower level than the "Wild Wind Sword Technique," with simpler moves and less power consumption. Therefore, the Wind Spirit Sword's enhancement effect on the "Thousand Hundred Swords" is more significant.

It turns out that when Chu Yunfan uses the "Gale Falling Leaves" move, he can only unleash sixty sword energies. With the blessing of the Wind Spirit Sword, the number of sword energies can reach ninety. One strike can kill more than a hundred gray-white rats.

However, when Chu Yunfan used the "Thousand Hundred Swords" technique, he could unleash 180 swords at once, although the power of each sword was not as great as the sword energy of the raging wind and falling leaves.

However, with the blessing of the Wind Spirit Sword itself, each strike is enough to kill a gray-white rat.

Therefore, after switching to the weaker "Thousand Swords", Chu Yunfan's efficiency in killing the gray-white rats actually increased significantly.

Of course, the key reason why Chu Yunfan was able to completely withstand the gray-white rat's attack was that he discovered a loophole in the gray-white rat's attack!
