Secret Records of the Leader of the Beichen Sword Sect-Chapter 113 - 112: Fight to the Death

After the little episode of interfering with the Songshan disciple’s marriage robbery, on the way to White Deer Peak, the topic of Tie Dan’s thoughts naturally shifted from "Where on earth did Zhen Baiyu die?" to the serious subject of "How the hell am I going to fly?".

Well, theoretically, he can fly now. Having reached the Golden Core Realm, even if he can’t fly, he can at least escape into the earth.

It’s just that Tie Dan is proud of his strong legs and long endurance, always prepared with two turbo bursts of safety redundancy to prevent accidents, so he’s reluctant to use his Qi.

However, seeing Han Xiong’s mobility in killing five at once, Tie Dan also realized that in future battles at the Golden Core Stage, aerial combat is inevitable. He needed to find a chance to practice, so as not to regret not having enough skills when the time comes, and to avoid starting a fight with a dull blade.

As for how exactly to fly, there is a basic method that Han Xiong demonstrated to Tie Dan.

It’s about wrapping oneself in True Qi and then flying through Qi Manipulation, like flying a kite, taking people up to the sky.

Actually, the last time Tie Dan escaped from Marquis Zhongshan’s army was similar, using Blood Breath to fly through space. Although the consumption was really high, it was barely considered ’jumping’ or ’flashing,’ but anyway, really flying was way faster than the Han Xiong kind.

So even though Songshan looks tough, beating five opponents and still seems formidable, if Tie Dan truly wanted to show off, instantly kill him, there’s actually no difficulty. But who would have expected the opponent to speak so reasonably, seeming very logical, and for a moment Tie Dan was stunned, finding no reason to fight, so the fight didn’t happen.

This can’t go on, always reasoning with others and never getting into fights, how will one pass through tribulations? Need to think of a way...

Cough cough, to return to the point, the biggest problem with the Blood Jade Technique is its excessive consumption, the power is too explosive, often causing the skin to burst with blood. After the fight, one must find a way to recover and heal. While the burst of combat power is extremely swift and unmatched, in most battles, there’s really no need for such a life-risking outburst.

As for sword energy, it goes without saying, it’s not that the sword energy doesn’t have the ultimate move of Body and Sword combined, flying with sword and Qi. There is, but it’s very difficult.

In the "Nine Luminaries Sword Scripture," the Neon Light and Shadow’s four stages, if one can refine the sword ’light’, they can use sword flight, fast as chasing stars. And achieving the sword ’rainbow’ realm is literally Human Sword Unity, reaching the heavens, traversing the earth, invincible in all directions!

It’s just that the disadvantages of sword energy have been mentioned many times, the sword energy edge is too sharp, without decades to a century of refining the arts of sword and Qi control, trying impulsively to use sword energy for body protection and Human Sword Unity, is like putting oneself into a sword energy meat grinder, it’s practically suicidal.

So these sword combination techniques can be performed only by reaching the Sword Infant stage, and before the sword energy is fully refined during the Core Formation stage, Sword Sect disciples generally cannot use sword energy for body protection like disciples of other sects, usually relying on flying swords granted by the sect.

Of course, up till now, Tie Dan doesn’t have a decent sword...

Despite having skills, he lacks a Divine Weapon sharp blade to showcase them. If he had a good treasure sword before, he could supplement the output of Taibai Sword Shadow, why fear any Demon Dragon and Evil Flood Dragon.

This doesn’t work, either. Reflecting inwardly, the more Tie Dan realized how weak he was, with too many shortcomings, full of vulnerabilities.

Perhaps without a master’s guidance, without a daoist companion’s support, without family resources to accumulate, in solitary cultivation, it’s inevitably so tough and challenging.

Lost in deep thought along the way, without realizing it, Tie Dan had reached White Deer Village at the foot of White Deer Peak.

This place is where immortals and mortals live together, with many mortal relatives of White Deer Peak disciples and cultivation families gathered, relying on the Mystic Sect’s protection and geographic commerce to provide supply replenishments for passing Mystic Sect people.

The Immortal Palace has repeatedly ordered local Vassal States to suppress and eradicate these Demon Sect strongholds, but local officials aren’t fools, after all, if it really comes to fighting, the Demon Sect could very well take their heads. Oh, the court can just replace them with someone else. They have to consider the head on their necks!

Therefore, the local County Magistrate and Captain always just go through the motions, not daring to easily cross the line, cough cough, overstep bounds.

In short, nowadays, a large number of refugees have temporarily fled to the vicinity of White Deer Peak in Genzhou, forming a refugee camp with tens of thousands of people, the town is overcrowded, many people set up stalls for trading, using gold and silver they carried with them to exchange for food supplies.

Tie Dan also remembered that he still owed someone a box of gold, needing to resolve this cause and effect quickly. Unfortunately, going in and out of Tongguan Palace several times, he only focused on drinking and wrestling, forgetting to swipe a few treasures to sell, showing quite a lack of fortune...

But fortunately, he just got some pearl earrings, which should be worth some money, so he went to the largest pawnshop in White Deer Town to pawn the earrings.

The shopkeeper took a look at the pearl earrings, then at the ear casually torn off and thrown on the ground by Tie Dan, silent for a moment, before putting on a smiling face.

"How much would the guest like to pawn them for?"

He can name his price?

Tie Dan glanced at him,

"A box of gold and a sword."

The shopkeeper smiled,

"Sure, no problem, please have a seat, I will prepare it right away."

Tie Dan also narrowed his eyes, mocking,

"Alright, I’ll wait for you to prepare."

So Tie Dan followed the shopkeeper into the backyard, sat in the guest room for a moment, and soon a maid came up with a tray to serve tea.

A cup of jujube tea, a plate of fruit, a piece of puff pastry.

All poisoned.

Jujube tea dissolves blood, fruit disperses Qi, puff pastry seals Qi, each drug’s effect is not easily detectable, but combined, the medicinal effect burst rapidly. Tie Dan only used the tip of his pinky to dip a little, and the fingertips turned necrotic black, the Qi acupoint was also sealed.

Goodness, these things are quite rare, White Deer Peak people are really courteous, aren’t they...

Tie Dan unperturbedly accepted their ’gifts’. Then he tapped the floor tile, lifted one up to peek.

Sure enough, there was a layer of copper below, preventing one from escaping underground. He then jumped up, rubbed the beams, and discovered a tightly knit fishing net beneath the roof tiles, all made of steel wire.

Tsk tsk, the Heaven and Earth Net all set up. Clearly, killing and robbing wasn’t their first time.

A short while later, footsteps could be heard from outside the courtyard, probably four white-robed cultivators armed with swords entering the yard and standing outside the door.

"Xuanji Sect disciple Shen Qi, would Fellow Daoist please come out for a chat!"

Tie Dan roared,

"Chat your head! Despicable person, just fart it out!"

Shen Qi wasn’t polite either, angrily shouting,

"Where did you get our junior sister’s earrings!"

Tie Dan scoffed,

"I picked them up!"

Shen Qi was furious,

"As long as you admit it! Thief, face the sword!"

"Shua shua shua!"

"Ding ding dang!"

With a command, the four outside pinched the formula and chanted, pulling a talisman, and the sword bags at their waists all opened! Released swords!

Amidst the whistling Sword Wind! Dozens of handleless short swords flew like a school of silver fish! Shattering the doors and windows with a swish, and piercing into the room, the interwoven Sword Net shot chaotically! Chopping the tables and chairs into pieces, the screens and flowerpots all cut into fragments!

But Tie Dan was prepared, since there was no retreat path in any direction, he simply did not dodge, directly activated a turbo technique enhancement, condensed Divine Skill! Blood Hand grasped! Directly caught the incoming Sword Rain Blade Wind! Holding several short sword blades between his fingers! With both hands spinning in a sword dance like a ball! Deflecting and blocking the sword leaves and iron rain coming head-on, knocking them down one by one!

This Sword Rain was indeed dense as needle showers, fiercely intense! Limiting a person in one place, along with using poison and nets for a volley, although the sword bags don’t hold much storage, but forming an array with four people, it’s enough to dismember and chop to pieces those unprepared Golden Core Masters!

However, luckily Tie Dan never dares to be careless, starting off by unleashing a great move, pushing his body’s physical condition to the peak! Plus knowing early on he was in a trap, simply not wasting energy on dodging, to avoid triggering a mechanism, just standing in place! Facing the incoming swords to catch and block!

Anyway, the Blood Jade Technique’s burst is fiercely strong, and it recovers even more robustly! Tie Dan isn’t afraid of pain, after all, the incoming flying swords are just sharp Magic Artifacts, without the Sword Sect Secret Sword blessing, he’s not concerned about being occasionally unable to block and getting cut a few times, becoming like a porcupine, as long as he guards his vital areas securely, there’s naturally no life danger!

White Deer Peak Xuanji Sect isn’t so mighty to the point that everyone is Golden Core level, and Shen Qi and the others are actually just at the Foundation Establishment Peak, pinching formulas and chanting, casting spells and releasing swords, they’re not blind either.

They couldn’t imagine that the person in the room, moved as quick as a ghost! Wielding both hands, the sword flashed and danced! Sword light flew in hand, gleaming piercingly! Even when their sword bags were emptied, they couldn’t decapitate him!

This panic led to confusion, one person’s sword bag emptied and not knowing what to do, the Sword Rain pressure suddenly reduced! Instantly, Tie Dan seized this weakness! With a whoosh, a Blood Wind arose! Breaking out of the door!

"Bang!"

"Crash!"

Blood rain shot to the sky! Flesh splattered! That Xuanji Sect disciple facing Tie Dan head-on was smashed to pieces!

"Stay your hand!"

Of course, it wasn’t Shen Qi who shouted; the flying Xuanji Sect Mage hadn’t finished speaking, the magic treasure not yet out, when in the courtyard, the other three disciples were already slain on the spot, waist-severed into six pieces by Tie Dan’s overwhelming Sword Qi!

"Bastard! I told you to spare them! What... where are you going!!"

Tie Dan completely ignored it, directly a Blood Shadow flew past, "bang!" smashed through the wall! Charging into the pawnshop’s front room, to the dumbfounded shopkeeper, delivered a punch!

"Puff!"

The shopkeeper’s head exploded like a watermelon, eyes and brain matter splattered all over.

Good, satisfying.
