Chapter 39: Trembling Sword Style
As the sun set behind the western mountains, the Shadow Kill Yongbing group, nearly three hundred strong, departed from Loulan City in a grand manner, heading towards the wild frontier of the Hengduan Mountains.
The wilderness is located at the outer edges of the world, connecting the Xuan Continent, Earth Continent, and Huangzhou region. At the junction of these lands, there exists a mountain range that serves as a natural barrier.
The mountain ranges connecting the Three Continents are the Hengduan Mountains, Tianfeng Mountains, and Jinduan Mountains.
Outside the mountain ranges lies the wilderness; only by crossing the mountains can one enter the true wild territory.
Beyond the Hengduan Mountains lies the City of Slaughter. Yang Chen and his group aimed to hunt magical beasts near the Hengduan Mountains, waiting for someone among them to advance to the Dou Huang realm before entering the City of Slaughter.
"Leader, ahead is the Hengduan Mountains," said Eagle Tian Yi.
Yang Chen glanced at his comrades, all dressed uniformly, and raised his voice: "Brothers, ahead lies the Hengduan Mountains, where countless fifth and sixth-tier magical beasts roam, and even a few seventh-tier beasts. Do you have confidence in becoming true war gods?"
"Yes!"
"My brothers have all experienced iron and blood, but is that enough? No, absolutely not! My brothers will become invincible at their level and challenge those above their rank! Can you achieve this?"
"Yes!"
"Good! With countless withered bones, let us witness our growth! With rivers of blood filling the sky, let us be crowned!"
"Yes!!"
"Now, our first lesson is potential!"
"Everyone, including myself, will challenge magical beasts of equal rank but must be three ranks higher than themselves. Only in life-and-death situations can one's potential be unleashed! Anyone who fails to complete their task will receive one demerit; accumulating three demerits will result in expulsion from the Shadow Kill Yongbing group!"
"In life-and-death situations, you may also call for help. Signal to Sky; Jiang Nan and Xie Yao will assist you in escaping danger. However, this also means your mission has failed! Those who successfully hunt magical beasts must hand over the Magic Core to Jiang Nan; he will assess whether you have completed your task based on your cultivation level."
"There are no rewards for successful missions; however, there are penalties for failures. Are you still willing?"
"Willing!"
"Good, as expected of my brother. Now, within a radius of one thousand meters, choose your target. Shadow Kill Affiliation, disband."
"Yes, Leader."
Everyone began searching for suitable magical beasts, and Yang Chen also found a fourth-tier One Star magical beast - the Ironclad Blazing Tiger.
The Ironclad Blazing Tiger is fast, has high defense, and its Attack Power is quite impressive.
"Deceptive Phantom Step! Deception!" In the next moment, Yang Chen appeared on the back of the Ironclad Blazing Tiger.
The Deceptive Phantom Step was modified; fear still lasted for two seconds, but the opponent could retaliate. However, in a state of fear, damage was reduced by 50%, attack speed decreased by 50%, and Movement Speed dropped by 50%.
The Backstab Throat Kiss was also modified; only cultivators of the same realm could cause Backstab to ignore the effects of Protective Battle Qi. This means that whether you are a One-Star Fighter or a Nine Star Battle Master, you can only ignore the Protective Battle Qi of a Fighting Master Realm.
The dual daggers glowing with green light stabbed fiercely into the back of the Ironclad Blazing Tiger. It was no longer as smooth as before; they did not penetrate deeply, but still triggered the fear effect.
A tiger's tail transformed into a whip swept towards Yang Chen. He leaned slightly forward, allowing the tail to brush past his back, creating ripples in the air.
Yang Chen was not afraid; he struck again with his dual daggers, aiming for the eyes of the Ironclad Blazing Tiger.
"Ziyin." The dual daggers pierced through the eyes of the Ironclad Blazing Tiger like breaking bamboo.
"Roar!" The Ironclad Blazing Tiger immediately roared in anger, its body engulfed in red flames, radiating intense heat. At the same time, it began to thrash around wildly, trying to throw Yang Chen off its back. Its iron tail swept through the air with a whoosh towards Yang Chen.
Yang Chen withdrew his dual daggers, and two blood arrows shot out from the eyes of the Ironclad Blazing Tiger. Simultaneously, it let out a pained roar; its attack remained unchanged but slightly paused, and its strength was somewhat diminished compared to before. Yang Chen sidestepped and pressed his body against the side of the Ironclad Blazing Tiger, clinging to its abdomen. Although he avoided the tail's attack, he was still knocked down by the force of the beast.
Just as he landed, a pair of iron hooves came crashing down. In an attempt to dodge, Yang Chen rolled on the ground just in time to avoid being trampled. However, the massive shockwave from where the hooves struck still caused him discomfort inside.
"What is my current weakness? Without the Deceptive Phantom Step, I am nothing. I can only ambush; I can only deal a fatal blow. If I miss once, should I flee thousands of miles away? No, that's not me! Since I can create my own Ghostly Step, then I can certainly create my own combat techniques!"
While using Ghostly Step to evade attacks from the Ironclad Blazing Tiger, Yang Chen thought: "In martial arts across the world, there are two main paths. One is speed that cannot be broken; the other is overwhelming strength. One is speed, and two is strength. Yu Jin is an agility hero, and I have already found Moonlight Beauty. My agility value has exceeded sixty points; logically and emotionally, I should pursue speed!" After saying this, he sheathed his dual daggers and summoned the Dragonweave Sword.
Holding the sword with both hands and stepping on Ghostly Step, his long hair flowed like an unparalleled swordsman. However, this swordsman seemed a bit disheveled as he was closely pursued by a furious Ironclad Blazing Tiger, engulfed in red flames.
Stopping for a moment, Yang Chen pointed his sword at the charging Ironclad Blazing Tiger. Suddenly, as it charged forward, he swung the Dragonweave Sword fiercely at it. The right paw of the Ironclad Blazing Tiger swept forward to collide with the sword in his hand. A tremendous force surged towards him through the sword; his right hand trembled slightly as he dispersed some of that force. His body shook slightly as he pulled back his right shoulder to unload all that power.
"Clang!" The Dragonweave Sword left a faint mark on the body of the Ironclad Blazing Tiger, forming a cross shape that upon closer inspection resembled a '又' character.
"What is this?" Yang Chen was taken aback.
"Tremble? That moment of trembling? Is this what they call the Trembling Sword?" Yang Chen muttered to himself.
The Trembling Sword Style, the pinnacle of swordsmanship! With a single swing, it trembles a million swords.
With high-frequency vibrations, a single strike can break the sky and shatter the universe. Any combat technique is fleeting; a true sword can Break the Sky!
"Trembling Sword? Quake Sword? Good, this will be my sword technique, my combat skill!" Yang Chen's eyes were filled with determination and confidence.
With a goal in mind, Yang Chen moved forward in that direction, no matter how rugged and thorny the path ahead!
Strike! Tremble! Strike! Tremble! Often, just as he unleashed a strike, it was blocked by the Ironclad Explosive Beast, disrupting Yang Chen's rhythm.
Despite a 10% decrease in all attributes, the attack speed of the Ironclad Blazing Tiger was still not something Yang Chen could easily handle. Moreover, when his sword struck the Ironclad Blazing Tiger, the recoil made Yang Chen's right hand numb.
After that, Yang Chen never managed to use the Trembling Sword again, not even once.
"Since I can't master the Trembling Sword, I'll learn to tremble with speed. In martial arts, only speed is invincible!" Yang Chen thought for a moment and changed his approach to combat techniques.
Strike! Bang. He was knocked back. Strike again! Once more he was knocked back.
