Chapter 212

The Old Medicine readily agreed. Without his help, even if Xiao Huohuo had great potential and could fight beyond his level, he still wouldn't be able to deal with a magical beast comparable to a Dou Ling.

Having received permission, Xiao Huohuo took the heavy ruler and walked towards the fourth-order demonic monkey in front of him.

Looking at the arrogant human in front of him, the demon monkey roared angrily, emitting a piercing sound that caused the surrounding trees and rocks to explode under the pressure of the sound.

Then the demon monkey leaped up and slammed down on Xiao Huohuo with terrifying force.

At that instant, Xiao Huohuo also used Earth-grade Dou Technique that he wasn't very proficient with yet, which was also his strongest killing move.

"A terrifying wave of destruction (modified)!"

The terrifying wave attack, a low-level Earth-rank combat skill, was a gift from the Old Medicine. Once mastered, it can split mountains and cleave waves with every gesture.

It needs to be paired with the Heavy Xuan Ruler to unleash its full power.

With the support of Old Medicine's power, Xiao Huohuo unleashed a massive wave of energy that cracked the ground wherever it passed.

When it collided with the demon monkey, it caused an earthquake.

Once the commotion subsided, Xiao Huohuo was panting heavily... while the fourth-tier magical beast was also somewhat disheveled, but it didn't appear to be seriously injured.

"As expected of a fourth-tier magical beast, it's still unharmed..."

Xiao Huohuo was somewhat surprised by the appearance of the magical beast in front of him.

"Get ready, little guys... they're about to go berserk."

At this moment, the Old Medicine's voice rang out from the side, and then entered Xiao Huohuo's body, preparing to escape.

As expected, the demonic monkeys did not accept this result; a human fighter had actually beaten their fourth-tier companion to this state.

This human is too dangerous!

The demon monkeys decided to stop wasting time and attacked together.

They all pounced on Xiao Huohuo...

Just as Old Medicine was about to start his escape, a heavy sword similar to Xiao Huohuo's heavy ruler suddenly fell from the sky and smashed into the monkey troop.

The next second, a huge mushroom cloud rose up, and the entire Monster Beast Mountain Range shook violently.

Xiao Huohuo was directly blown away by the shockwave from the heavy sword, while the demonic monkey in the center was vaporized. Only the demonic beasts on the edge escaped unscathed, but were still blown away by the shockwave to an unknown distance.

The sudden commotion not only terrified Xiao Huohuo, but also greatly shocked Old Medicine.

What kind of power is this...?

How could anyone in this northwestern region possess such power?

"Cough cough..."

After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Yan got up from the ground. Although he felt uncomfortable all over, he was fine.

"Teacher, what was that just now?"

Xiao Huohuo was very confused; he hadn't realized what had happened in that brief moment.

All he saw was a weapon, roughly the same weight as the ruler in his hand, come crashing down.

"The noise was caused by someone using sheer force to smash down a heavy ruler."

The Old Medicine looked serious; he had seen far more than the average person.

"What? Just pure strength? Without battle qi, it's not even a battle technique?"

Hearing this explanation, Xiao Huohuo was stunned. If mere strength was this terrifying, just how terrifying must its owner be!

I can't even imagine...

"No..."

The Old Medicine shook his head; he was absolutely certain that there was no trace of fighting spirit present.

"..."

Xiao Huohuo swallowed hard, his gaze fixed on the spot where the heavy sword had fallen. Just what kind of monster was this?

In this situation, he dared not move or run, even though his heavy ruler was still somewhere he didn't know.

The shockwave was so terrifying that he couldn't even grab the heavy ruler...

Now, he can only lie on the ground to minimize his presence.

He's just a lowly fighter; he probably won't be targeted.

As the dust settled, Xiao Huohuo and Old Medicine finally saw the actual situation ahead. The forest they had seen before was gone, and what had appeared there was... an enormous hole.

In the center of the hole, a heavy sword stood.

Besides the greatsword, there was another person, a little girl of twelve or thirteen, standing barefoot on top of the greatsword.

It's the lovely Yun Li!

"You used a little too much force."

Yun Li jumped off the Old Iron. She didn't even use her Power of Destiny, just her raw strength. And she restrained herself greatly, simply wanting to make the magical beasts behave.

I didn't expect it to still be so powerful...

But no matter what, the magical beasts all calmed down.

The only pity is that their bodies all vaporized, and their Monster Core and such were gone. It feels like a waste of 100 million gold coins.

Ahhh...

How many strings of Candied Hawthorn Skewers would that take?

With a slight sigh, Yun Li jumped out of the huge pit she had created; she still had important business to attend to.

Xiao Huohuo should still be alive, right? She restrained herself and deliberately avoided him.

However, just as Yun Li was about to walk towards Xiao Huohuo, she suddenly noticed something and leaped a few steps to appear in front of a heavy ruler.

Looking at the black heavy ruler in front of me, which was almost identical to my Old Iron's, or rather, a heavy sword.

As a sword enthusiast, she couldn't resist drawing it immediately...

The surface of this jet-black greatsword is decorated with somewhat blurry, strange patterns that extend to the hilt and almost cover the entire blade. Combined with its ancient, jet-black color, it appears quite mysterious.

More importantly, Yun Li could sense the weapon's inner voice.

Rather than saying its current owner uses it to kill enemies, it's more accurate to say he uses it as a tool for cultivation, specifically to hone his skills.

This is different from Yun Li's effortless mastery...

"It is indeed a fine sword!"

"Although the materials are a bit inferior, and like my Old Iron, there is room for improvement."

After examining the jet-black greatsword, Yun Li was somewhat tempted, although its power was far inferior to the weapon she had forged herself.

But often, the most important thing about a sword is not its material, but other aspects.

In Yun Li's view, every weapon has its own ideas, and some of these weapons, though seemingly ordinary, possess boundless potential. They have even developed a sword intent, a sword heart, unique to the sword.

And this jet-black greatsword, similar to the Old Iron, is just like that; it already has the nascent form of a heart.

If Yun Li were to reforge it, it would definitely qualify as Sword Collection.

"My heavy ruler..."

Xiao Yan, who was concealing his own aura, noticed that his weapon had fallen into the hands of a little girl and was very concerned about it.

But he dared not show himself...

Judging from the fact that the girl jumped out of that giant hole while holding that heavy sword, it can be basically inferred that she was the one who threw the weapon.

I never expected it to be such a young girl.

"Teacher, what's going on with this girl? Her strength is terrifying! What level is she?"

Xiao Huohuo asked his teacher in the ring through his mind, feeling a great shock in his heart.

"I can't see through her. I can't see a trace of battle qi on her at all. She's just like an ordinary person who has never cultivated battle qi."

The Old Medicine was also very shocked, as even he couldn't see through the girl in front of him at all.

It's so bizarre, so unbelievable.

Either she's just an ordinary girl, or... her strength has far surpassed his own.

Although he is currently in Soul body, his strength in life had already reached the peak of Dou Zun. Even if the girl before him was a Dou Sheng, she shouldn't be completely unable to see through his Dou Qi traces...

Unless she is... a Dou Di (Battle Emperor)?

But that's even more impossible. In this Dou Huo Continent, he has only heard of one person who might be a Dou Di, namely Tuoshe Ancient Emperor. There are no other Dou Di besides him.

"Even the teacher couldn't see through it?"

Xiao Huohuo was shocked to hear this. In his eyes, Old Medicine's strength was absolutely terrifying, and there was nothing he didn't know.

Surprisingly, even the Old Medicine couldn't see through this girl.

Furthermore, this girl was using the same weapon as him, and even their sword-wielding movements were remarkably similar.

Maybe this is fate?

However, Yun Li's subsequent actions will surprise him even more, making him wonder if there is a second version of himself in this world, and that he is a girl.

Not just weapons, but also fighting styles, combat skills, and even an old man similar to the Old Medicine who accompanied him.

13

Chapter 13 Sword, also one of my important friends.

Yun Li looked at Xiao Huohuo's heavy ruler, then at her own "Old Iron ruler), and tried it again. So far, her "Old Iron" was much stronger.

But the potential of this heavy ruler is also limitless!

However, having Old Iron is enough for her; dual-wielding isn't suitable for a greatsword.

Having encountered such a fine sword blank, Yun Li felt a little itchy to reforge it, wanting to make it brand new and even more perfect.

She wasn't in a hurry; after all, this black greatsword belonged to someone else...

Moreover, its owner is worthy of it, so Yun Li doesn't feel that the other party is unworthy of using this sword.

Yun Li sensed the inner voice of this black greatsword!

With her gaze sweeping towards Xiao Huohuo, who was hiding his aura not far away, Yun Li, holding a heavy sword in each hand, walked towards his direction.

"Oh no, she's noticed me and is coming this way."

"Teacher, what should we do..."

Xiao Huohuo, who was lying on the ground concealing his presence, noticed Yun Li's movements and felt a little flustered.

Although this girl is cute and very beautiful, and considers herself to be on par with her own Xun Si, her strength is terrifying. Who knows what she's thinking?

If you want to kill him, even the Old Medicine might not be able to save you.

"Don't be impulsive. If she has malicious intent, it will be futile to run away or resist."

"We can only wait and see what she's thinking. We should be careful, as there's always a chance of survival. She doesn't seem to have any ill intentions."

Seeing Xiao Huohuo preparing to flee, Old Medicine's voice rang out, stopping him from acting impulsively. If he ran or made a move at this moment, the other party would think he had ill intentions.

"..."

The teacher meant... to completely entrust one's life to others, which made Xiao Huohuo feel a little uncomfortable.

As expected, I was still too weak.

If it is strong enough, there will be no such problems or concerns.

"Stop hiding, I've already seen you."

Yun Li walked over to Xiao Huohuo and saw that he was still lying there, so she couldn't help but speak up.

Although he possessed an invisible soul force concealing his aura, it was meaningless to Yun Li. However, this soul force concealing his aura should belong to Xiao Huohuo's teacher and cheat-like Old Medicine, right?

Even an ordinary Dou Zong would probably have difficulty detecting his aura.

Unfortunately, I'm facing myself.

Hearing Yun Li's voice and confirming that the other party had indeed seen him, Xiao Huohuo had no choice but to get up and come out.
