Chapter 35 is coming again? (Please read on, please vote!)
Plans are always subject to change due to various unexpected events and whimsical ideas. Wang Yu plans to change a few more spells to make himself more comprehensively armed.
Ice sword attack, ice shield defense.
He still lacks movement techniques or functional arts, the more difficult the better, since with the placement slots, there are almost no techniques or supernatural abilities he can't master.
Even if the conditions are not met, the placement bar will resolve the issue automatically.
The Corpse Demon Secret Technique is the best proof of this.
That day.
After completing his daily cultivation and refining the elixir, Wang Yu prepared to head to the Ice and Snow Pavilion.
Even though it was nighttime, he didn't feel anything. Things were different now. After perfecting his cultivation technique, his combat strength and cultivation speed had both improved.
He considered himself to be in the middle stage of Qi Refining, already among the top-tier individuals.
It's inevitably a bit loose.
Leaving the Evil God's Workshop and heading towards the Cold Blood Workshop, we took a narrower shortcut. The alley was pitch black and deserted.
Wang Yu quickly plunged into it, and as soon as he did, trouble ensued.
A dense array of silk threads stretched out in front of the alley.
Like a trap waiting for a rabbit to run into a tree stump, looking back, two dark figures appeared on the way they came, blocking the road completely.
Wang Yu narrowed his eyes, inwardly lamenting his carelessness.
When things are going smoothly, this kind of situation can happen. It should serve as a warning to avoid making bigger mistakes in the future.
Who are you?
As they were questioning, two more people appeared behind the silk thread trap, making a total of four people: two at the fourth level of Qi Refining and two at the sixth level of Qi Refining.
It's a bit tricky, but still within acceptable limits.
"Don't move, put your hands up, or don't blame us for being ruthless."
There was no intent to kill.
So... it was just a robbery?
Wang Yu raised one hand above his head, and the four men immediately stopped, shouting angrily, "I told you to raise your hand! What are you doing with the other hand?!"
Wang Yu's eyes darkened. What a ridiculous joke.
"Fellow Daoist, look carefully, I only have one hand."
"Oh~"
"I didn't notice it."
The playful tone made Wang Yu certain that they knew him and that they were deliberately teasing him.
—I can't stand even a little bit!
The Ice Sword Technique at its perfected stage has long since broken free from the constraints of incantations. It can be used with a thought, without any delay. If one had to describe it, the time it takes to prepare is the movement of spiritual energy through the meridians.
"go!"
In the blink of an eye, ten ice swords shot out simultaneously, aiming straight ahead. The seemingly mysterious silk threads were all snapped in two by the barrage of ice swords.
Of the two people blocking the road ahead, the one at the fourth level of Qi Refining was struck in both shoulders by a sword and was pinned to the ground, while the other, at the sixth level of Qi Refining, reacted.
He nimbly dodged the attack, his face contorted with mockery, ready to sneer, but then he heard...
"Pfft~"
"Pfft~"
"Pfft~"
With three consecutive sword strikes, he launched a counterattack, piercing his head and both sides of his chest. Before he could utter a single word, he died under the ice sword technique.
Perfected techniques have endless uses, striking unexpectedly and catching opponents off guard.
Having seized the initiative, and lacking a perfect technique of the same level, they could only dodge and could not counterattack.
The path ahead was now clear, and the two people behind them were shocked and immediately stopped to cast a spell.
"Evil spirit magic, go!"
The art of summoning ghosts? A thought struck Wang Yu as he saw the roaring black smoke ghost head flying towards him and reached out to block it.
A diamond-shaped ice shield blocked his way, and with his right foot on the ground, he leaped onto the roof like a gecko climbing a wall in just a few steps.
"Oh no, he's trying to escape! Chase him!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a barrage of fine ice swords came hurtling towards him. The Qi Refining Level 4 cultivator, who hadn't even made a move from beginning to end, was riddled with holes, a truly pitiful sight.
With three out of four gone, Wang Yu swooped down like a roc spreading its wings.
The man gritted his teeth and spat out a mouthful of blood essence. Another ghostly head shot out from his body, crashing towards him with eerie blood lines.
Wang Yu withdrew his right hand to his front and used the Guardian Seal to cast the Ice Shield Technique again. This time it was slightly different. The originally huge rhomboid ice shield split into ten pieces like flying knives, completely surrounding the Bloodline Ghost Skull.
Thus, he leaped forward and delivered a powerful overhead kick!
With superhuman strength, he kicked and shattered half of the man's teeth. The Cold Blood Technique had a slight body-strengthening effect, though it was far inferior to that of a body refiner who specialized in physical training, it was still far superior to this blood-drained, emaciated person who relied on blood to nourish ghosts.
With a thought, in the brief moment when the first ghost skull returned to defend.
The ice sword beheaded this man instantly!
With their master dead, the two ghosts whose lives were intertwined also perished. Wang Yu frowned as he surveyed the mess on the ground.
"Disciples of the Five Yin Peak..."
He couldn't recall ever offending them; they were likely hired thugs.
Zhao Shang? Impossible, their cooperation is still in its honeymoon phase.
Wang Yu turned a slight smile as he looked at the person who was stuck in the ground by the ice sword.
After an incense stick has burned.
The narrow alleyway returned to its usual appearance, without any trace remaining.
After a somewhat rudimentary interrogation, Wang Yu obtained the information he wanted: these disciples were hired to do shady work, and it was impossible to expect them to keep their mouths shut.
Therefore, after being slightly frightened, without even being physically assaulted, he confessed everything. The reason for this was unknown to the other person, who only told Wang Yu a name.
"—Xu Jiaojiao"
They had been staking out Wang Yu for over half a month before finally catching him today.
If I remember correctly, Xu Jiaojiao is the daughter of Steward Xu and also the young lady of Xu's Pill Shop. The only reason they could have a grudge is because of this matter.
However, it shouldn't have escalated to this point.
"Could it be that something serious has happened to Deacon Xu?"
Wang Yu seemed to be deep in thought as he continued towards the Ice and Snow Pavilion.
…………

"Bang!"
Zhao Shang's lips twitched as he looked at the four fresh corpses on the table. He remained silent for a moment before making his offer.
"The corpses from Wuyin Peak are less valuable, only worth one hundred spirit stones."
Four for only 100? That's pathetic!
Wang Yu then tossed out four more selected storage bags. He had taken most of the spirit stones and spirit sand, and the rest of the items were of little value. He sold them all to Zhao Shang at a low price, earning a total of five hundred spirit stones.
good.
"You came all this way so late just for this?"
Wang Yu shook his head.
“Su Zhenchuan must have left behind quite a few magical inheritances in the Ice and Snow Pavilion. Let me take a look.”
Helpless, Zhao Shang took out a jade slip and said.
"If you are not a member of the Ice and Snow Pavilion, you cannot see these things."
“Of course I am.” After observing with his divine sense, Wang Yu quickly selected two targets: “These two.”
Zhao Shang glanced at it and then reached out his hand as well.
"One thousand and three."
Wang Yu's eyes widened.
"So expensive?"
"Do you think high-grade spells are cheap things? It's already good enough that you can exchange them for spirit stones."
Wang Yu fell silent immediately: "Give me the biggest discount."
"one thousand."
"Eight hundred."
"No way, do you think this is a farmers' market where you can haggle?"
Seeing Wang Yu's gaze, knowing that he couldn't get away with this, Zhao Shang turned and silently went to get the jade slip for transmitting the Dharma.
Goodbye, my friend.
Wang Yu said goodbye as if nothing had happened.
