Chapter 33

Huang Xiaolong took the black bear's gallbladder, took out the wine from the Asura Ring, broke open the gallbladder, and swallowed the mixture. The wine was obtained from a man of the Evil Ghost Mercenary Group whom he had killed a few days ago.

As the sixth-stage black bear's gallbladder entered his stomach, a warm current began to form. At first, this warm current was very small, but after a dozen breaths, it gradually grew stronger. As Huang Xiaolong circulated the Asura Sutra to absorb it, it continuously transformed into martial energy, causing the Nine Nether Martial Energy in his meridians to surge.

Over the past month, Huang Xiaolong had been hunting beasts and cultivating in the Silver Moon Forest. His martial energy cultivation had improved even faster than when he was madly training at the Huang Family Manor.

This was because after hunting these beasts, he sometimes encountered things like the sixth-stage black bear's gallbladder, which were extremely beneficial for martial energy cultivation. However, breaking through the sixth-stage barrier was extremely difficult. Even those with top-tier martial souls among the tenth level usually took over a year to break through from the peak late-fifth stage to the sixth stage.

Although Huang Xiaolong possessed a super martial soul, and even a dual super martial soul, it would still take him about four to five months to break through to the sixth stage.

While Huang Xiaolong was cultivating by consuming the sixth-stage black bear's gallbladder, the little guy, Shiling Zihou, was munching on a purple fruit he had picked from somewhere. He never needed to sit in meditation to refine the beast core he consumed.

Fei Hou, on the other hand, stood ten meters away, keeping watch for any movements around them.

After several hours, Huang Xiaolong completely refined the medicinal power of the sixth-stage black bear's gallbladder and stood up from the ground. After a month of cultivation, his muscles were more solid and robust, and his tendons were more elastic, allowing him to burst with even greater strength than when he left the Huang Family Manor.

After standing up, Huang Xiaolong summoned the Asura Blade, leaped into the air, and, while in mid-air, suddenly swung the Asura Blade downward. Dozens of Asura Blades transformed into a rain of blades that descended from the sky, covering a ten-meter radius.

Within the ten-meter range, everything was reduced to powder.

Within the rain of blades, a faint wailing and weeping could be heard, a sound more chilling than the cries of hell.

Huang Xiaolong landed from the air.

After a month of cultivation, the second move of the Asura Sword Technique, Asura Tears, had finally reached a minor level of completion!

With one swing, the Asura wept.

However, although Huang Xiaolong had achieved a minor level of completion, he was still far from the major level of completion. When he swung the blade, the rain of blades was sometimes violent, sometimes gentle like water, sometimes surging like the waters of the Milky Way, and sometimes so fine as to be invisible. Achieving this effect was the mark of major completion.

Currently, when Huang Xiaolong swung the blade, the rain of blades flew, but he could not yet control the size and intensity.

After stopping the cultivation of Asura Tears, Huang Xiaolong retracted the Asura Blade into his arm. Suddenly, he presented his hands in a claw shape and reached out into the air toward the black bear's corpse. Dark gases began to drift out of the black bear's body and continuously flowed into Huang Xiaolong's body through his hands.

As the dark gases continued to drift out of the black bear's body, Huang Xiaolong stood there, his body surface glowing black. He suddenly extended his claws in the air toward a tree ten meters away.

Two dark claw marks appeared in the air, and the surrounding sky darkened.

With a "bang," the claw marks struck the tree, and the tree crashed to the ground. The area around the claw marks was dark, exuding a sense of death.

During this month, while cultivating the second move of the Asura Sword Technique, Asura Tears, Huang Xiaolong also began to cultivate another martial skill from the blueprint, the Asura Ghost Claw. The Asura Ghost Claw had only five moves, and when cultivated to the major level of completion, each move had the power to destroy heaven and earth. The move he had just used was the first move of the Asura Ghost Claw, Ten Thousand Ghosts Roaring. When cultivated to the major level of completion, this move would summon ten thousand ghosts, covering the sky and earth, invincible in all directions.

However, Huang Xiaolong's current attack did not even summon one ghost.

"It seems I need to intensify my cultivation of the Asura Ghost Claw," Huang Xiaolong thought. However, cultivating the Asura Ghost Claw had a strict condition: he must absorb blood soul energy, which could only be found in the bodies of those who had recently died, whether human or beast. The dark gases he had absorbed from the black bear's body were blood soul energy.

Because he needed to absorb blood soul energy, this was why Huang Xiaolong had not cultivated the Asura Ghost Claw at the Huang Family Manor.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps and faint voices came from a distance.

Fei Hou flashed to Huang Xiaolong's back, and Shiling Zihou jumped down from the tree, returning to Huang Xiaolong's shoulder.

"We should hide," Huang Xiaolong thought for a moment and said. After speaking, he and Fei Hou, along with Shiling Zihou, leaped to the top of a dense tree in the distance and hid.

Just as they had hidden, a group of people appeared from the distance. Huang Xiaolong saw that they were disciples of the Purple Robe Sword Sect!

Seeing the Purple Robe Sword Sect disciples, Huang Xiaolong was somewhat surprised.

Huang Xiaolong held his breath.

"Elder Chen, it's been a month, and Senior Brother Cheng and the others haven't come to join us. Could something have happened?" one of the Purple Robe Sword Sect disciples said.

Chen Feng's thick gray eyebrows furrowed. Cheng Liang's group of Purple Robe Sword Sect disciples had not yet come to join them, and it was likely that something had indeed happened.

Thinking of this, a cold light flashed in Chen Feng's eyes.

"Hmph, who dares to kill our Purple Robe Sword Sect disciples? They must be tired of living!" another Purple Robe Sword Sect disciple said coldly. "If we find out, we will exterminate their entire clan!"

Chen Feng turned to a disciple beside him and asked, "Have you found the whereabouts of the two Starry Sky Academy disciples?" A month ago, Cheng Liang and the others had disappeared while pursuing these two Starry Sky Academy disciples. If they could find the two Starry Sky Academy disciples, they would know what had happened to Cheng Liang and the others.

"Reporting to Elder Chen, according to our disciples, the two Starry Sky Academy disciples are currently near the Poison Mist Valley," the disciple replied respectfully.

"Poison Mist Valley!" Chen Feng's eyebrows furrowed, and he then said coldly, "Now, follow me to the Poison Mist Valley!"

"Yes, Elder Chen!"

After a while, the group of Purple Robe Sword Sect disciples disappeared.

After the Purple Robe Sword Sect disciples were out of sight, Huang Xiaolong and Fei Hou flew down from the tree.

"Lord, should we also go to the Poison Mist Valley?" Fei Hou said. "But the Poison Mist Valley is one of the three most dangerous places in the Silver Moon Forest."

"Three most dangerous places?" Huang Xiaolong pondered for a moment. "Let's follow them and see."

Thus, Huang Xiaolong, Fei Hou, and Shiling Zihou followed the group of Purple Robe Sword Sect disciples to the Poison Mist Valley. The Poison Mist Valley was not far from where they had started. After a day, they arrived at the Poison Mist Valley.

Standing at the entrance of the Poison Mist Valley, Chen Feng waved his hand and said, "Search the area and see if you can find anything."

The Purple Robe Sword Sect disciples respectfully responded and then dispersed.

After a while, one of the Purple Robe Sword Sect disciples ran back and reported to Chen Feng, "Elder Chen, we found traces of a battle ahead."

"Oh, let's go and see!"
