Chapter 40

"Listen, this sword accompanied the True Person throughout his life. It has a natural sensitivity to the Crane Sect's martial arts. The reason I was able to sense someone cultivating the Second Crane Body Technique is thanks to this sword. With it, it can help you find the person. I don't know who the person is, but I believe in your abilities. If even you can't save the Crane Sect, then it is destined to be destroyed."

"Go, bid farewell to your mother."

The old man of the Crane Sect had a deep and wise gaze, his face, full of wrinkles, wore a gentle smile.

Crane carefully tied the sword to the silver sash at his waist, smoothed out the wrinkles in his clothes, and his face became calm again. He bowed respectfully to the old man of the Crane Sect, then turned and left resolutely.

The white-clad youth, sword in hand, walked down the winding mountain path with a composed and elegant gait. The mountain breeze lifted his silver hair, and his face, as smooth as jade, was calm and resolute.

The disciples of the Crane Sect who saw him on the way had complex and indescribable looks.

Facing this figure as straight as a sword, all words seemed pale and powerless.

The library of North Yan, in terms of scale, even Tianjing could not compare. The successive principals of North Yan seemed to be collectors, and after generations of operation, they created a library of astonishing size.

The library's access rights were strictly divided, but Han Bingning had the highest access rights, allowing her to browse any book at will. There were few people here, and it was very quiet, which was where Han Bingning often spent her time.

However, today, she was not here to pass the time.

She repeatedly pulled out and put back books from the shelves, and for the entire morning, she did the same thing.

Suddenly, she stopped, her gaze firmly fixed on the ancient book in her hand.

"Entering the demonic state, a special condition where a person's negative emotions explode under extreme circumstances. The strength of someone in the demonic state will increase significantly, and their body will be controlled by instinct, with negative emotions such as killing and brutality taking the lead.

The probability of an ordinary person entering the demonic state is very low.

There are two types of people who are prone to entering the demonic state: those with special bloodlines and dark martial artists. Martial artists with special bloodlines will have the hidden power in their blood awakened when they encounter extreme conditions, triggering the demonic state. Dark martial artists, such as killers and assassins, who accumulate a lot of killing and negative emotions in their daily lives, are also prone to entering the demonic state..."

Han Bingning read each word carefully. The demonic state that Tang Tian entered during his battle with the Iron Rhino in Mo Jia left a deep impression on her.

Tang Tian was a person full of coincidental mysteries, but as time passed, Han Bingning had a feeling that these coincidences were not coincidences at all!

Dark martial artists? Han Bingning thought of Tang Tian's cheerful appearance and couldn't help but shake her head. How could such a person be a dark martial artist?

Then it must be a special bloodline!

Could it be that Tang Tian has some very special bloodline?

Han Bingning stood there, lost in thought.

Biyao Bamboo Sea.

Tang Tian was flying through the bamboo forest, occasionally touching the bamboo branches with his feet, using the elasticity of the branches to propel himself forward. His movements were not particularly graceful, but they were very fast, and each step was precise. If he encountered bamboo leaf bees along the way, he would use the Shadow Palm to knock them down.

The Shadow Palm and lightness skills improved rapidly in the environment of the Biyao Bamboo Sea.

A few days ago, when he had cultivated the second small crane, Tang Tian found that this second crane was completely unresponsive. No matter how he tried to activate it, it remained motionless. There was no related insight in the Soul General Card of the Crane Qi Technique, and when he asked Old Wei, Old Wei was also puzzled.

Tang Tian simply put it aside. However, later, he discovered that his endurance was better during lightness skill practice.

Tang Tian, who was darting through the bamboo forest, suddenly stopped. He glanced at the time. Why hasn't Nuan Nuan come today?

Usually, Nuan Nuan would have arrived by this time. Why hasn't she come today? Could she have encountered some unexpected incident on the way?

Tang Tian was a bit worried. He moved his feet and changed direction, heading deeper into the bamboo forest. He knew where Nuan Nuan's home was and decided to go check.

Tang Tian's posture didn't look good, but he was very fast, especially with his true energy, which was continuous. He could fly a long distance in one breath without needing to catch his breath.

Suddenly, he heard shouts and the sound of swords clashing from ahead.

Tang Tian's eyes suddenly lit up, and he moved without hesitation, lightly tapping his feet, leaving a trail of afterimages in the air.

Soon, a small bamboo house appeared ahead.

That was Nuan Nuan's home!

Tang Tian did not rush out recklessly. He narrowed his eyes, crouched down, and quietly pulled aside the bamboo leaves.

Nuan Nuan's mother was wielding a steel sword, desperately blocking a black-clothed person. The black-clothed person wore a black mask, revealing only his eyes. He used dual knives, with a strange and cold technique. The cold blade light was like ice. Snowflakes floated around the black-clothed person.

Nuan Nuan's mother was at the end of her strength, barely holding on. Nuan Nuan was crouched in the corner, her face full of fear, but she didn't dare to cry, afraid of distracting her mother.

Tang Tian's eyes turned cold, and he silently took out the black iron gloves from the water bottle weapon cabinet.

Tang Tian was clearly participating in such a battle for the first time, but he felt no fear, only unusual calm. He quietly put on the black iron gloves and approached like a cat, waiting for the right moment to strike.

Nuan Nuan's mother's sword movements became increasingly slow and weak, and the snowflakes from the black-clothed person's dual knives grew denser, the cold penetrating to the bone.

The black-clothed person's eyes lit up, and he shouted, merging his dual knives into a crescent moon-shaped blade light, which suddenly slashed down!

Nuan Nuan's mother was terrified!

At that moment, Tang Tian's legs suddenly exerted force, and he shot forward like an arrow from a bow.

The black-clothed person suddenly realized, but his dual knife slash was his finishing move, and he had put all his strength into it, his eyes full of shock.

Nuan Nuan's mother, seeing Tang Tian, her face, which had been filled with despair, suddenly lit up with a surprising glow, and her steel sword advanced instead of retreating.

Clang!

The sword and knife clashed, and the steel sword shattered.

A dazzling bolt of lightning suddenly tore through the air, striking the black-clothed person's waist.

[Lightning Kill]!

The black-clothed person screamed, and Tang Tian's mind went blank. Almost instinctively, he didn't even take a breath, and his fists rained down on the black-clothed person like a storm.

The black-clothed person flew out like a sandbag, landing on the ground, motionless.

"Be careful!" At the same time, Nuan Nuan's cry made Tang Tian suddenly come to his senses.

He shifted his feet, and a cold blade light narrowly grazed his body, leaving a tear in his clothes.

"Ding Han!"

Tang Tian shouted, his face full of rage, searching for Ding Han's figure.

He had just experienced this attack a few days ago and recognized it immediately.

The surroundings were silent, the bamboo shadows swaying, with no response.

Tang Tian did not dare to be careless. This terrain was a natural hunting ground for someone like Ding Han.

Nuan Nuan's mother struggled to stand up, took a bamboo tube from her waist, and a small green bee flew out. The green bee buzzed around the area, and Nuan Nuan's mother sighed in relief, "He's gone."

Phew, Tang Tian sighed in relief and sat down. He had been tense during the fight, but now that it was over, his limbs felt weak. However, for some reason, Tang Tian, who had just experienced a life-and-death battle, did not feel particularly afraid.

Nuan Nuan burst into tears at this moment.

Nuan Nuan's mother, sword in hand, walked to the black-clothed person that Tang Tian had taken down, and used her sword to lift the mask, revealing an ordinary face. The black-clothed person was already dead, and the area where Tang Tian had hit him had a cut as if made by a sharp blade. In a moment of desperation, Tang Tian had used the Crane Body Technique.

"What's going on?" Tang Tian, who had just recovered, got up and approached.

Nuan Nuan's mother's sword cut through the outer layer of the black-clothed person's black clothes, revealing a copper plate with a bright red "Zu" character.

Nuan Nuan's mother's face changed drastically, and she trembled, "Black Soul!"

"Black Soul?" Tang Tian heard this name for the first time.

Nuan Nuan's mother's face turned pale, and her body swayed, muttering, "Black Soul... Black Soul..."

"Are they very powerful?" Tang Tian noticed Nuan Nuan's mother's unusual expression and quickly interrupted her.

Nuan Nuan's mother came to her senses and forced a smile at Tang Tian, "Thank you very much this time, but you've also been dragged into trouble."

"I'm fine," Tang Tian shook his head.

"You don't understand Black Soul," Nuan Nuan's mother said bitterly, "Black Soul is an extremely terrifying and mysterious organization. They are cold and ruthless, notorious dark hunters on the Heavenly Path, with an unusual obsession with star treasures. Their power is beyond your imagination, and they have an unusually large number of experts. Black Soul has a very long history, dating back to when the Heavenly Path was first discovered, making it one of the oldest organizations today."

"So powerful!" Tang Tian's eyes widened.

"By killing a member of Black Soul, they will not let this go. You must be very careful," Nuan Nuan's mother looked at Tang Tian with concern and said decisively, "I will take Nuan Nuan away tonight and go to my brother's place."

"Why are they targeting you?" Tang Tian was puzzled.

Nuan Nuan's mother also looked puzzled, "Their target seems to be Nuan Nuan."

Nuan Nuan had stopped crying and moved over. She saw the face of the black-clothed person on the ground and exclaimed, "I recognize him. A few days ago, I saw him asking if anyone had seen a cross mark. Nuan Nuan saw it on Big Brother's hand, but Nuan Nuan is very smart and didn't tell him. Did he figure it out? But Nuan Nuan acted very convincingly..."

Tang Tian's heart suddenly jolted, cross mark!

The Southern Cross!

These people were after the Southern Cross copper plate!

Black Soul... Southern Cross cultivation plate...
