Chapter 142： The Power of the Great Sword

Chapter 142 The Power of the Giant Sword

【Alchemy, second level 85/2000】

After completing the day's practice, Chu Ning took a look at his proficiency in divine refining techniques.

Increased 2 points.

At the same time, Chu Ning could also feel that among the hundred drops of divine consciousness fluid in Niwan Palace, one of them became stronger.

“This analysis of the source of symbols can indeed strengthen your spiritual consciousness!”

Chun Ning was overjoyed.

In the next two days, Chu Ning continued his practice while waiting for Cheng Jinhe to recruit all the people.

Practice the Yanhuo Shenmu Kung Fu to temper your magic power, analyze the source of the talisman and cultivate your spiritual consciousness at the same time.

Even in this place where spiritual energy is thin in the mortal world, cultivation is not greatly affected.

In the middle of the meal, Cheng Jinhe and others would take the initiative to invite him to join them every time they had a meal.

You don’t have to worry about food, housing and daily life.

Three days passed like this. This morning, Chu Ning was continuing to analyze the sword-sealing talisman.

“Bang! Bang!”

A knock on the door suddenly sounded, followed by a voice from outside.

“Young Master Chu, please pack your things and meet in the backyard of the inn. We will set off immediately.”

Have you recruited people?

When Chu Ning heard this, he stood up immediately, grabbed his huge sword, hung the animal skin bag on his body, and walked out.

Outside the door, a waiter next to Cheng Jinhe whom Chu Ning had met before was looking at him with a smile on his face.

“Young Master Chu, our boss has recruited someone, we will set off now.”

“Okay, let’s go.”

As Chu Ning went downstairs with the waiter, he said with some surprise:

“Yesterday, I heard your boss was frowning. This trip is too far. Are you recruiting people today?”

“Yes, a few people came yesterday afternoon and today, so we’re all here.”

The two of them talked and came to the backyard of the inn together.

At this moment, in the backyard, besides Cheng Jinhe and the short-bearded man named Li Song, there were more than 30 people.

Most of them are dressed as clerks, and they are loading boxes and transporting goods on the carriage at the moment.

There were six or seven other people dressed in the same guard style as Li Song.

These should be Cheng Jinhe's original guards, and there are five others wearing different clothes.

Apparently, he must be someone recruited separately to **** and protect him.

Everyone couldn't help but look at each other, and Li Song also introduced each other to everyone at this moment.

“This is Young Master Chu Ping Chu…”

Through Li Song's introduction, Chu Ning finally got to know the four men and one woman.

The oldest man is a gray-clothed man in his forties with a medium build. His name is Yu Zhengchun. He doesn’t talk much and holds an unsheathed knife in his hand.

There were two other men who looked two or three years younger.

There was a man as thin as a monkey, with a long whip hanging on his waist, named Dai Zuen.

The other man was tall and burly, carrying a big copper hammer in one hand, his name was Han Wangang.

The only woman among the five is about thirty years old. She is dressed in smart clothes. Although her appearance is ordinary, she is also somewhat plump.

Holding a long sword in his hand, his name is Du Huarong.

The last young man, who is about 26 or 27 years old, is named Shen Shaohai. He is dressed like a scholar and holds a fan in his hand.

Chuning just glanced at it and realized that the fan contained something strange. It seemed like it was a hidden weapon or something.

After several people introduced each other, Li Song immediately greeted everyone:

“There are still buyers waiting for us at the owner’s side, so we will set off directly and trouble everyone along the way.”

Cheng Jinhe on the side also immediately spoke:

“I have troubled all you heroes along the way. As long as you can reach your destination safely, Cheng will be very grateful.”

Just when a few people were waiting in the hotel, the guys had almost packed the boxes, and Li Song asked the inn waiter to lead a few horses out.

Judging from their demeanor, they are indeed fine horses.

Chun Ning took the reins of the horse from a waiter, but was not in a hurry to get on the horse. He just paid attention to the other people first.

After several people got on their horses, he was still standing on the ground.

Seeing this scene, Shen Shaohai, who was holding an iron fan, couldn't help but smile and asked:

“Brother Chu, why don’t you get on the horse? It’s not like you don’t know how to ride a horse.”

Chun Ning smiled, turned over and climbed directly onto the horse's back. His movements were extremely agile.

It is true that he has never ridden a horse before, but as a cultivator, his body has been cleansed by spiritual energy, and he can also train his body.

The control of the body is naturally far beyond what ordinary warriors can match.

Just now I saw a few people mounting their horses, and I can learn it in no time.

“Good skill!”

At this moment, Shen Shaohai opened his mouth to praise.

“Brother Shen, thank you very much.” Chu Ning said modestly.

Li Song assigned positions to everyone at this moment. Chu Ning, Shen Shaohai and Han Wangang, who was holding a sledgehammer, were assigned to the front of the motorcade.

Along with them were two of their own bodyguards.

Li Song himself walked on both sides of the team with the remaining recruits.

At the very rear of the convoy are their own escorts.

One of them was a man named Yao Rong, who had two swords at his waist and looked very capable. Like Li Song, he was the leader and deputy leader of the guard.

The group of people left the city gate from the north gate of Yuhua City. Since they had just set out on the road, the atmosphere was quite relaxed.

After walking for a while, Shen Shaohai took the initiative and said to Chu Ning:

“Seeing that Brother Chu is one or two years younger than me, I don’t know what sect Brother Chu is from, and he is going out on his own at such a young age.”

Chun Ning shook his head and said:

"I don't have any teachers, I just accidentally learned some farming skills, which didn't catch my eye."

"I'm afraid not." Han Wangang took over from the side at this time.

He is a tall man and speaks in a rough voice.

“Little brother, this giant sword is not a weapon that can be used by humans.”

Chun Ning’s face remained as usual, and he smiled and said:

“I just have two kilograms of strength and don’t know much about anything else, so I made a heavy sword to fool people.”

“It’s good to have strength!” Han Wangang said with a laugh.

"Old Han, I just rely on my strength. Brother Chu, why don't we have a discussion during the break."

Chun Ning quickly waved his hand, "No, no, Brother Han, I can't stand these two blows."

Hearing what Chu Ning said, Han Wangang raised his sledgehammer and laughed, but there was a look of contentment on his face.

A few people were chatting. In the middle of the conversation, Shen Shaohai chatted with Chu Ning several times and made insinuations about Chu Ning's origins.

Chun Ning also dealt with them one by one, without letting the other party find out anything at all.

After a few attempts, Shen Shaohai gave up.

However, along the way, I still exchanged a few words with Chu Ning and Han Wangang from time to time, and they seemed to be familiar with each other.

The three of them walking together were much more lively than the silent ones behind them.

After walking like this for a long time, the young woman Du Huarong also drove her horse to the front.

Han Wangang immediately smiled when he saw Du Huarong coming.

"Sister Du, did you come here specifically to see me? Or do you like these two young people?"

“Spit!” Du Huarong spat at him lightly, and then said with a smile:

“I was just feeling bored staying back there, so I came here to chat with the two little brothers.

I don't like you, a rough guy. "

“Don’t just look at faces.” Han Wangang chuckled again, “There are many people with silver spears and wax spear heads.”

After saying that, he seemed to realize something again, and smiled at Chu Ning and Shen Shaohai:

“I’m sorry, brothers, I didn’t mean you...”

For a time, Du Huarong joined in, and he became more and more happy.

In the blink of an eye, it has been nearly a month since the team left.

This month was not completely peaceful. There were two or three groups of thieves on the road.

However, most of them were taken care of by the guards, except for the aggressive Han Wangang who couldn't wait to take action once.

The rest of the people didn't do much.

This is what Li Song has already said before. Generally, thieves don't need to take action.

When there are many people or the idea is difficult, only a few people are needed.

That evening, the convoy arrived at a place called Feicuiping, because it was still more than half a day's journey from the nearest village.

The only option was to find a relatively open place to rest in the wild.

After everyone settled down, Cheng Jinhe brought Li Song to Chu Ning and others.

As a boss, Cheng Jinhe is indeed quite good. Although he rode a carriage along the way, as long as he stopped for a while, he would definitely be with everyone.

Huge chores such as dividing grain and cooking can be done directly.

Whether it is to the fellows or to the warriors recruited by Chu Ning and others, they are all polite.

As long as you go to a bigger place, you will be entertained with good wine and good food.

It is not an exaggeration to say that harmony brings wealth.

At this moment, Boss Cheng was taking the dry food and giving it to several people one by one.

“I’m going to trouble you all to sleep in the open air tonight. I’d like to ask you to keep an eye on me at night. When we get to town tomorrow, I’ll prepare good food and wine.”

As soon as Cheng Jinhe finished speaking, Han Wangang, who was more impatient, immediately said in a rough voice:

"Boss Cheng, you are too polite. We have eaten and drank well along the way. What does it matter if we have to work hard all night?"

We are all rough people, so we can only sleep in this place. ” ˆ ˆ Chu Ning and others did not speak, but the expressions on everyone’s faces were similar.

Cheng Jinhe was naturally grateful.

At this time, Na Li Song said in a deep voice:

"Everyone, we have to work hard tonight. We will be on duty in the whole night. There is a group of horse thieves that are extremely rampant around here. We need to be more careful."

As he said that, he divided into groups again.

Chun Ning and other people at the front, along with Li Song, were assigned to watch in the first half of the night.

The rest of the people were divided into the rest of the night.

No one had any objections. After eating the dry food, the people who were not on duty fell asleep on the ground, and the whole team gradually became quiet.

The person on duty is also different for each person.

Li Song jumped up to a big tree, sat cross-legged on the tree, and looked around cautiously.

Han Wangang was walking around there, looking very bored.

Du Huarong took advantage of the fire to become a female celebrity, but she didn't look like a Jianghu woman at all.

As for Shen Shaohai, he was holding a small knife and carving something with a tree root.

At this time, Chu Ning simply crossed his legs and closed his eyes, as if he was adjusting his breathing and recuperating.

It is naturally inappropriate to practice the Yanhuo Divine Wood Technique in front of so many people. After all, no matter how he controls it, there will still be a slight fluctuation in mana as long as he practices it.

Chun Ning doesn’t want to create extraneous problems.

So usually when Chu Ning can rest in an inn or other places, he will practice the exercises.

While in the wild, Chu Ning usually practiced divine arts.

At this time, Chu Ning was constantly analyzing and thinking about an intermediate and low-grade talisman called Xuanshui Talisman.

He has already completed the analysis of the sword sealing talisman's pattern a long time ago. Now if he wants, he can easily make the sword sealing talisman, and the quality is not low.

So Chu Ning focused on the Xuan Shui Talisman again.

This talisman is one of the intermediate and low-grade talismans he purchased from Yunhai Pavilion.

Chu Ning also found after several attempts that when analyzing a talisman at the beginning, he really had to hold the talisman and observe it carefully before he could understand the rune patterns.

However, as long as he comprehends it to a certain stage, these runes will be engraved in his mind.

When he wants to analyze and understand, he can just meditate in his mind and understand the principles of the runes bit by bit.

This also made it easier for him to pass the time along the way.

Sometimes, even on horseback, you can pretend to close your eyes and rest your mind to explore the source of this symbol.

I don’t know how long it took, but Chu Ning finally blinked his eyes slightly and let out a breath.

“The runes of this intermediate-low-grade talisman are indeed much more profound than those of the elementary-high-grade talismans.

It only took me six days to analyze and comprehend the elementary high-grade talisman sealing sword talisman.

But this Xuanshui Talisman took more than twenty days.

This is of course due to the lack of time, but the profoundness of the talisman is also a big reason. "

After sighing secretly in his heart, Chu Ning began to practice the art of refining the gods.

He has no problem with this kind of meditation practice, not to mention just in the middle of the night, even if it lasts all night.

After practicing the divine art, Chu Ning felt that his spiritual consciousness had been restored, and there were faint signs of his spiritual consciousness becoming stronger.

He looked inside his Niwan Palace, and sure enough he saw that among the hundreds of drops of divine consciousness liquid, there was another drop that had grown to the size of the drop of divine consciousness liquid at the first level of the divine refining technique.

Chun Ning took advantage of the situation to check the progress of several cultivation techniques in his mind, and he probably had a clear idea in his mind.

【Yanhuo Shenmu Kung (high grade Xuan level), first level (35/5000)】

【Nine-Yan Body Refining Techniques, Volume 1, Continuous Tendons 702/1500】

【Alchemy, second level 145/2000】

If the proficiency of the first level of Yanhuo Divine Wood Skill reaches 100, it is estimated that all his mana has been converted into wood and fire dual attribute mana.

At present, the proficiency level is less than 1 point per day, but it will take some time.

The art of body refining has basically been at a standstill recently.

As for this divine refining technique, when the hundred drops of spiritual liquid of divine consciousness can be as large as the undispersed spiritual liquid, the proficiency level can reach 2000.

There is also a long way to go, but currently the divine refining technique combined with the analysis of the source of symbols can increase it by about 2 points a day.

It is considered to be the faster among several types of cultivation.

For Chu Ning, who had been practicing very fast before, this speed was a bit torturous from a certain perspective.

Chuning regards it as a way to temper his state of mind.

After completing the practice of divine refining, Chu Ning stopped and was about to get up and do some exercise.

The next moment, he suddenly opened his eyes, looking inadvertently towards the west side of the woods, keeping his body still.

After a long time like this, Li Song, who was sitting on the tree, suddenly shouted loudly:

“There is a horse thief, please keep an eye out!”

While shouting, Li Song jumped down from the big tree, reached out and grabbed the saber at his waist.

When the others heard Li Song's shouting, they also jumped up one after another and showed their weapons.

“What’s the matter? There’s a horse thief?”

Cheng Jinhe got out of the carriage at this moment, his face full of sadness and lamentation.

Obviously, for him, the last thing he wanted was to see such an accident.

"Master, please go back to the carriage and hide. There are a lot of thieves coming this time, so it may take some effort."

Li Song said and glanced at Chu Ning and others. It was obvious that they were going to contribute this time.

Chun Ning nodded towards the other party as a response, and others also responded one after another.

At this moment, a group of masked men rushed out of the woods, numbering seventy or eighty people.

"kill!"

With a roar, the two sides soon fought together.

Chun Ning also held a giant sword and rushed forward.

He has never learned any secular martial arts, so naturally he doesn't know any moves.

However, in his eyes, all the actions of these people were flaws.

This alone is enough!

The giant sword was swung freely, and the horse thieves who were close to Chu Ning were either hit by the sword, and their bones were directly broken by the smash.

Either he was hit in the neck by Chu Ning accurately and his whole head fell off.

In the blink of an eye, as many as five or six horse thieves died in Chu Ning's hands.

Chuning saw that there was no one on his side, so he flashed and came to the end of the convoy.

Compared to those at the front, the guards on this side are obviously a bit weaker, and it is a bit difficult to deal with them at this moment.

This was also thanks to the deputy leader named Yao Rong who flew up and down with two swords, attracting the siege of several horse thieves.

Otherwise, some of the guards behind may have been injured.

However, everything became completely different after Chu Ning joined.

These guards looked at Chu Ning who rushed into the group of horse thieves in astonishment, like cutting a watermelon.

With one sword, he chopped down the horse thieves one by one to the ground.

In the blink of an eye, only the four horse thieves who besieged Yao Rong were left behind.

Chun Ning's body swept forward again, using only 40% of the speed of the ordinary Thunder Step, but it only made everyone feel dazzled.

The next moment, Chu Ning had appeared next to Yao Rong.

With a wave of the heavy sword, the two horse thieves fell to the ground.

When the remaining two horse thieves saw this, they were frightened and turned around to run away.

Chuning casually picked up his giant sword from the ground, and two bowl-sized rocks flew out like stray bullets, hitting the two horse thieves in the back.

“Poof!”

The two of them each spat out a mouthful of blood, then turned over and fell to the ground.

The guards looked at this scene blankly, then turned to look at Chu Ning, with shock and awe in their eyes.

Such strength is really shocking to them.

“The wind is tight, pull!”

At this time, the other horse thieves also seemed to realize that something was wrong, and one of the leaders shouted.

Suddenly, the remaining horse thieves dispersed in a rush.

The guards who were fighting still wanted to pursue them, but Li Sheng immediately shouted to stop them.

“Don’t chase after poor bandits!”

When the horse thieves dispersed, the eyes of Li Song, Hu Shaohai, Han Wangang and others all fell on Chu Ning.

Everyone was fighting just now, but everyone was very strong, so they would naturally observe what was going on around them.

Chun Ning's understatement was a superb method of killing all those horse thieves, and everyone naturally saw it.

“Brother Chu, what a handsome kung fu!”

The young woman Du Huarong was the first to praise her, with a hint of complexity in her eyes.

Han Wangang also stared with two big eyes and shouted:

“Let me see, a total of thirty thieves were killed, and you killed thirteen by yourself.

Grandma, luckily I didn’t compete with you before. Isn’t this asking for trouble? "

The middle-aged man in gray clothes, Yu Zhengchun, Dai Zuen, who is as skinny as a monkey, and Hu Shaohai, who usually talks the most, did not speak.

But the three people's eyes looking at Chu Ning were full of fear at this moment.
