Chapter 35

"Truly lucky!"

Seeing Yang Tiesheng and the others fleeing in disarray, the black-clad man on the rock suddenly heaved a sigh of relief. He wiped his hands over his face, and his beard fell off, revealing the face of a young man—it was Nie Yun!

"I never thought that circulating my spirit according to the nameless technique would produce such a powerful aura of pressure! Without this aura, it would have been quite difficult to deceive these guys!"

Thinking about the scene just now, Nie Yun couldn't help but sigh with relief.

Without that special power in his body, the nameless technique was like an engine without oil, unable to function. However, the method of cultivating the spirit according to the technique could still run slowly, and even produce an aura of pressure far exceeding his actual strength!

If the circulation of the spirit could produce such an effect, wouldn't it mean that in the future, even if he pretended to be an expert, no one would see through him?

Of course, when pretending, he must never be seen through. Otherwise, he would only have the aura but no strength. He could bluff, but once discovered, he wouldn't even know how he died!

"In the future, I must never use it unless absolutely necessary; the side effects are too great!"

Rubbing his head, which felt like it was about to split, Nie Yun couldn't help but sigh.

When he first discovered this effect, Nie Yun couldn't resist testing it a few times. He never expected that each test would make his head feel like it was splitting, and he almost fainted! If he hadn't lived two lives, with a naturally more resilient spirit, he might have fainted before scaring off the others!

"To be able to scare them away so quickly, the preparations beforehand were also very thorough, making them subconsciously believe the psychological suggestion!"

When he heard at the inn that the Yang family was coming to hunt, Nie Yun immediately rushed over and deliberately created a scene of battle.

As an old veteran, he had experienced countless battles. If the fake battle scene he created had any flaws, Nie Yun could have just killed himself!

The incredible control of power and the uniform distance between each hole were all measured by Nie Yun with a ruler, so there was no way there could be any errors!

As for the holes in the granite, they weren't punched out. Even if he wanted to, Nie Yun didn't have the strength. They were corroded with a special solution!

This solution could corrode anything and was something Nie Yun learned from a demon race member. Originally intended for forging weapons, he never expected to use it for showing off.

"Alright, time to go back..."

Muttering to himself, Nie Yun slowly stood up from the rock. However, he hadn't taken a step when his knees buckled, and he fell heavily to the ground.

"It seems I underestimated the side effects of circulating my spirit with the nameless technique..."

With a bitter smile, the dizziness in his head grew stronger, and Nie Yun's head tilted to one side, and he fainted directly!

This unexpected fainting was Nie Yun's first true rest after his rebirth. When he opened his eyes again, the sky was full of stars, and it was already dark.

"To faint for so long? I need to be more careful in the future. If there were any demon beasts here, I would probably be dead!"

Thinking about being killed while unconscious, Nie Yun broke out in a cold sweat.

Standing up, he stretched his limbs and found that after this faint, there were no adverse reactions. Instead, his tired body felt refreshed, and he felt more energetic.

"Huh? My strength... My strength actually broke through while I was unconscious?"

Suddenly, his eyes fell on the true qi in his dantian, and he had a look of mixed emotions.

Previously, he was stuck at the initial stage of the fourth level of true qi. He thought he needed a breakthrough to advance to the middle stage, but he had already reached it when he woke up!

The transition from the initial to the middle stage of the fourth level of true qi is a crucial process. Many people spend three to five years without making progress. If others knew that Nie Yun had broken through in a single faint, they would probably be so angry they'd die!

Too unfair! Is this guy cheating?

Although it sounds unbelievable, it makes sense when you think about it. Nie Yun used the Thousand-Year Lotus to stimulate muscle activity. Although the Lingxi Body Cultivation Technique absorbed most of the medicinal power, some still fused into his body, accelerating his cultivation!

A Thousand-Year Lotus that can sell for 200,000 silver taels, how could its effects be simple? Just this much was enough for him to break through!

"Trouble, it's so late, and I haven't returned. Yang Yan must have already gone to the Yang family..."

Looking at the time, Nie Yun realized he had missed his appointment with Yang Yan. Given this guy's personality, he probably went on his own.

"But it's fine if he goes on his own. The Yang family people were scared by me, so it won't be dangerous for him to go again. My mission is accomplished!"

Thinking that the other party might already be there, Nie Yun no longer insisted and smiled faintly.

After being scared by him, a "Supreme" level person, the Yang family would definitely treat Yang Yan like a treasure. There would be no danger this time, so there was no need to worry.

"Since it's not my business, I'll go back to the branch. If Yang Yan successfully becomes the first heir of the Yang family, he'll probably come to tell me tonight!"

Smiling faintly, Nie Yun slid his feet and quickly darted in the direction of the branch.

Running at full speed, Nie Yun moved like a straight line in the darkness, covering dozens of miles in an instant.

"Luo Shui City, although not a top-tier city in the Divine Wind Empire, is definitely one of the best second-tier cities!"

Luo Shui Canyon was still some distance from Luo Shui City, but he could already see the city lit up like a brilliant pearl nestled among the mountains and forests.

The level of a city is not determined by the number of buildings but by the strength of its highest martial power!

The stronger the highest martial power, the safer the city is against demon race invasions. The fittest survive, and naturally, more people choose to live in the city, making it grow larger!

Luo Shui City, located near the largest river in the Divine Wind Empire, the Luo Shui River, has convenient transportation. The heads of the four major families are all at the peak of the seventh level of the dantian, the Armored Realm. Therefore, the city has developed very rapidly in recent years!

What it lacks is a strong person at the eighth level of the dantian, the Qi Master Realm. If Luo Shui City had a Qi Master, it could directly become a first-tier city in the Divine Wind Empire, and the city lord and the four major families could be ennobled by the empire!

"Huh? What's that?"

Just as Nie Yun was lost in thought, he suddenly saw a series of brilliant qi waves rising along the long Luo Shui River.

These qi waves were as pure as snow and shone like lamps in the darkness, illuminating the surroundings.

"Someone is fighting! I'll go check it out!"

Judging that someone was fighting, Nie Yun didn't hesitate and immediately changed his direction, rushing quickly to the river.

Soon, he arrived at an abandoned dock. In the darkness, a dozen black figures were surrounding a white figure.

These black figures were all strange-looking, some with long horns, others with three arms. Each was taller than a normal person, about two to three meters high. Their strength was overwhelming, and these dozen figures were all at the peak of the fourth level of the dantian. The two in front even had their true qi radiating outward, reaching the Out-of-Body Realm!

"Demons? They are actually demons! Why are they here now?"

Seeing these figures, Nie Yun's heart was instantly shaken!
