Chapter 409: Crow Bequeathing Sword

Chapter 409: Crow Bequeathing Sword

With five lotus clones at his side, all refined to the utmost, Hui quickly crushed the second wave. The third wave spawned, and the six of them immediately set into it. Two hits took down a construct, and in a few moments, theyd demolished another wave. The fourth wave passed, then the fifth, all the way through the tenth.

Hui rolled up his sleeves and punched a construct in the face. It reeled back, but immediately grabbed its sword again and went to slash him. Before it could, Hui pummeled it in the face, over and over and over again until his fist burst through the constructs face. Chunks of construct went flying.

Wiping his forehead with the back of his arm, Hui threw the construct aside. Phew. That actually takes some effort.

He looked at his hands and clenched his fists slowly, feeling the power in his arms. This technique is really powerful! I should reforge all the other clones bodies, too. And my original one my original body, too! Why not?

Well, it might be riskier with my original body but, but, Ive already died, in terms of body! I dont have my body right now, and my body doesnt have its heart! So how can I be worried about a small body strengthening technique? Ill be fine!

Nodding to himself, Hui looked around. So, is this trial done? Or is it a hundred waves? Ugh, I hope not. Ten was enough!

At the far end of the stone realm, a door clunked open.

Ten waves. Good! Hui glanced up and frowned. In the end, we never used those chains. So why are the there?

His hands twitched. Hui scratched his arm. No, no. Its a trial realm. Im entering the sect. I I shouldnt

Hui walked out of the realm, casually dusting stone dust off his hands. Behind him, a set of jagged holes stood halfway up the wall, and no net of chain remained in the realm. He looked around. Darkness stretched in all directions, a foggy dimness that he could barely see through. Am I the first one to finish?

Ah! Master, Ying Lin called, waving. She hurried out of the darkness, quickly coming to his side.

Hui nodded at her. Have you seen Zhubi?

Zhubi? No, I havent, Ying Lin said, shaking her head.

How long have you been out of the trial? Hui asked.

Ying Lin opened her mouth, then hesitated and closed it again. I only just

Ying Lin, tell the truth, Hui warned her.

Ying Lin glanced down. I Ive been out for about as long as it takes an incense stick to burn

Hui smiled. He nodded at her. Good, good. Im glad to hear that my disciple is doing so well! You know, it doesnt make me happy for you to do worse than me. Im glad when you do better than I do.

But Master, I I dont want to demoralize you! Ying Lin said, clenching her fists.

No, no. This small cultivator knows his place, Hui said, nodding. Demoralize me? Just because Ying Lin is better than me? Ive long understood that shes fated to surpass me!

Eh. Why do I feel like I just said those words?

No! Master, thats exactly what I dont want, Ying Lin insisted. She shook her head at him. Master is powerful! Youre strong, and you dont need to know your place! Youre better than me in many ways, but youll only see the ways youre worse than me. Its not right!Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

Ying Lin, Hui sighed. This disciple really cant stand me having a realistic view of my own strength and potential. Theres no harm in understanding my place!

She glanced around them. This foggy darkness it wont clear. Master, do you have any idea what the next trial is? Where are we supposed to go?

Maybe this is the next trial, Hui murmured, twisting his lips thoughtfully.

Can anyone hear me? Is the node open? Rogue asked.

I can. Is anyone else out of the wave battle? Hui asked.

A beat of silence.

Anyways, werent you using a sword? Hui asked.

Sectgoer wrinkled his nose. First telling me to die a single dog, then telling me directly to go die.

Ah. It didnt go well, Hui surmised.

Its not all my fault. A certain senior decided to only teach me the parts of his technique that he wanted to show off to that damnmy apologies! Please accept this small cultivators heartfelt apologies!

Sectgoer, say it aloud, aloud! Hui urged him. He shook his head and sighed aloud. We never had any hope with the sword, did we?

The sword? Ying Lin asked.

Hui turned. His eyes widened. All this time, I had eyes but failed to see Mount Tai! He reached out to Sectoger again. Senior Chen Wuya, theres a budding young swordsmaster over here. You should come

Why didnt you say so from the start? Chen Wuya asked, appearing out of the fog. He circled over Hui, then swooped down and landed on his shoulder. His red eyes landed on Ying Lin. Her?

Eh? Ying Lin asked.

Hui turned to her. Ying Lin, Chen Wuya is a swordsmaster from the previous generation. Would you like to learn his style?

Ying Lin nodded. Yes!

Chen Wuya looked her up and down. It might be too late for you. Your cultivation is already so high with so many years cultivating your sword art, you

Ive only cultivated for a few weeks? Ying Lin said, tilting her head.

Chen Wuya stumbled. He looked at Ying Lin. Say again?

Hui nodded. Ying Lin has only just stepped onto the path of cultivation. Shes only been cultivating for as long as shes been my disciple which is to say, about a month.

Shaking his head, Chen Wuya fixed his feathers, winnowing through them with his beak. He watched Ying Lin from the corner of his eyes. Geniuses it seems they grow faster with every generation. Ah, well. If shes willing, I could use another disciple to accept my technique since the other ones about to blow his ankles out.

Ying Lin bowed to Chen Wuya. This disciple is in your care.

Hopping from Huis shoulder to Ying Lins head, Chen Wuya closed his eyes. Im going to pass the manual directly into your mind. Xiao Hui, you protect her.

Ying Lin dropped to the floor, immediately assuming the lotus pose and entering a meditative state.

Eh me? Hui asked. He gulped, turning into the fog, then looked at the lotus beasts around him. He breathed out. Ah, with five helpers, Ill be fine!

Qi condensed around Ying Lin, visible even with the fog. In the darkness, it glowed faintly, ebbing with Ying Lins breath and circulation. Hui threw his arm out, and the lotus beasts circled around Ying Lin, facing into the darkness.

Eerie cries sounded from the fog. Dark shadows faded in and out of Huis vision, never quite forming up. Hui narrowed his eyes. Ying Lin drawing qi must be gathering the ghouls. Good thing Im the life-qi-using clone!

Pale-faced figures rushed at him out of the darkness. Gold light glowed around Huis fists as he condensed life qi around himself. All around him, the lotus beasts did the same, their shiny black eyes glimmering as a wave of gold light passed over them.

A ghoul leaped at Hui, mouth open wide. Ragged, stained white robes hung from its limbs. A cold aura of death qi clung to it, and its breath dragged at his life and heat.

Here we go! Hui shouted. He drew back his fist and punched the ghoul. Gold light blasted out of his hand. The ghoul went flying. Midair, its skin blackened. Like a puppet with its string cut, it soared down, lifeless body cutting a hole through the fog.

The lotus beasts cheered.

Ghouls rushed at them from all directions, screaming in horrible, grating tones. Hui and the lotus beasts clenched their fists. Pale limbs and white robes jabbed at Hui and the beasts. Hui jumped forward, meeting their claws with a punch. Protect Ying Lin!

Protect her now, and shell finish the fight for me once she learns that sword art!
