Devour

After several attempts, it was confirmed that the stronger the treasure, the more powerful the secret technique. Cheng Bai was excited to gain new skills, which was worth the money, and carefully observed the effect of the secret technique.

"Thunder Fire" condenses sound waves and flame energy balls to shoot at targets, causing thunder sound and fire damage, and may stun creatures.

"Floating Light", where the sun and the moon shine, reaction and speed are greatly improved.

"Night fright" causes intimidation at night, causing creatures to become frightened and flee or have movement disorders.

Cheng Bai chose the first one without hesitation, integrated the runes, and mastered the secret art of thunder and fire.

The increased speed of Floating Light and the fear effect of Night Horror are both very good, but they are not necessary at the moment. We urgently need a powerful mystical attack method. The dual-attribute long-range lethality is really good, and fire has a wide range of uses.

Watching the other two balls of light dissipate, Cheng Bai said in joy, "This kind of sacrifice, equal exchange, and continuous acquisition of power is really easy. I wonder how far I can go in the future."

Is it really an equal exchange? Cheng Bai had doubts, but the road was now unobstructed, so he had no reason to refuse. He turned and left the Yaoguang Temple, and continued to head east, full of desire for the secret arts that he would get in exchange for new treasures in the future.

We crossed the Long Snake River again and found only the bones of the horses on the shore.

On several trips back and forth, Cheng Bai had to trouble the old black turtle to carry the horses across the river. The reward was just a few skewers of meat. Cheng Bai became a regular customer. This time he did not bring the horses with him, and when he let the horses roam free on the shore, they were eaten by the monsters in the Changshe River.

Cheng Bai carefully observed the traces around him and concluded: "It was done by the three-headed snake."

The most powerful monster nearby is the snake monster. The last time Cheng Bai passed by, he was unwilling to provoke it. But now is different from the past, he decided to challenge it.

Put on the Frost Dragon Helmet. Cheng Bai has studied this equipment. It is a treasure made from the skull of a Frost Dragon. It may not be as good as the Moonlight Blade, but it can add ice armor to the wearer, which is fireproof and cold-resistant, improves defense a lot, and also allows night vision. It is a good piece of equipment to keep for protection.

There was a three-headed snake lying on the shore taking a rest, and its huge body had nowhere to hide.

Cheng Bai swung the mace and sneaked over, hitting the pig head hard on the side. Compared with the past, Cheng Bai's assassination power was much stronger, and he successfully knocked a head unconscious.

When the other two heads of the three-headed snake saw Cheng Bai appearing in a sneak attack, they became furious and spit out strong acid and poisonous mist from their two mouths.

Cheng Bai quickly held his breath and rolled over to hide himself. Fighting such a strong monster was dangerous at close range, and assassination attacks were unlikely to be fatal.

Looking closely at his iron rod, he found that the wolf-fang spikes were worn out a lot and the rod was a little deformed. He was afraid that it would not be usable for much longer.

"Fortunately, a better substitute was customized." Cheng Bai rejoiced secretly.

After retreating far away, he fired lightning and fire bombs at the remaining two heads of the three-headed snake.

There was no sound when the Thunder and Fire Secret Art was performed, but after hitting the target, a deafening thunder was emitted, which made the target roll its eyes and feel dizzy. Combined with the high fever, its two heads were burnt to a crisp, and they drooped and swayed, unable to move.

It's great, it's like a precise version of a demolition grenade, with great destructive power. Each of the secret techniques is a ruthless move that can kill people above their level as easily as cutting vegetables.

But the thunder woke up the head that was knocked unconscious by the pig head. The three-headed snake was not stupid. It realized that its opponent was powerful, so it quickly spread its four thick legs and rushed into the river, trying to escape.

How could Cheng Bai let go of his prey? He fired thunder and fire bombs with his hands, hitting the head and neck. After the thunder, the three-headed snake with its neck broken fell down limply.

The prey I caught had rough skin and hard meat, and it took a lot of effort to gut it and take out the freshest meat, as well as a larger cyan crystal core, which was much fuller than the previous small crystals. Unfortunately, the knives and forks I collected in the Yaoguang Temple were all bent, so I had to retire early.

Today's feast was a delight, and the barbecue was delicious. With the secret technique of thunder and fire, it was much easier and more convenient to make fire and cook in the wild. Cheng Bai was glad that he made the right choice.

After being processed, the essence of the three-headed snake's meat became more delicious than those of the previous monsters. It was crispy, tender, refreshing, and full of fresh fragrance. Cheng Bai almost swallowed his tongue. It was more valuable to eat it together with exercise, and his strength was significantly improved.

In the dead of night, after practicing three blows of the club, he was able to control his murderous aura and his martial arts improved greatly.

Cheng Bai found the big tree where he slept last time, looked up at the night sky again, admired the twinkling stars, crossed his legs, and felt contented.

Before going to bed, I relaxed my whole body and glanced at the starry sky: "It seems that there are fewer stars tonight."

What does it matter? With the sky as a blanket, the earth as a bed, and food more delicious than the earth, how free and easy it is.

Cheng Bai fell asleep quickly and had a good sleep all night without even having a dream.

He arrived at Kaiyang City two days later. The delicious food from the monsters combined with his superior martial arts training greatly improved his strength and stamina, making him move faster than a galloping horse.

Cheng Bai missed the beauty of the mount and longed for the bandits to appear again and bring him a tamed horse. Unfortunately, he did not meet them and could only hope that his legs could run faster.

When he arrived at the Qi Zong branch temple in Kaiyang City, he was received by the receptionist boy.

"The Sect Master has completed Young Master Cheng's order and rushed to Yuheng City yesterday. He will also go to Tianquan City and other places to inspect related industries. He asked me to hand over the treasures."

Cheng Bai was secretly happy when he heard this. The leader of the Qi Sect was well-known and truly amazing. It was a pity that he had never been able to meet him.

The reception boy took out an intricately crafted weapon box with great respect. It was heavy and one could tell it was high-end merchandise from the exquisite packaging.

When he opened the weapon box, Cheng Bai was stunned.

This is clearly a ghost-head knife. The blade is straight, three feet and seven inches long, capable of cutting off the three souls and seven spirits. It is six inches and seven tenths of an inch wide, capable of shaving off the six desires and seven emotions. The blade shines like the bright moon, smooth and flawless, with a chilling light that captivates people. There is a ghost head cast on the end of the handle, with white fangs.

It looks like a good weapon, but...

"Did you take the wrong one?" Cheng Baihu asked doubtfully.

The receptionist hurriedly said, "You have taken it correctly. You can see it is star gold without a doubt. It is cast from a whole piece of material without wasting a single cent. Only our clan leader has such craftsmanship in Qiongqi Continent."

"But what I want is a mace." Cheng Bai felt puzzled. What they agreed on was not right. Could it be that the sect leader was drunk as a caduceus at that time?

The receptionist smiled and said, "The master tore up the blueprint. He said that it was a waste to make such a crude mace with good materials, so he changed it into this knife. You will definitely be satisfied with it. To be fair, this is the best work of the master in recent years. After all, good materials are hard to come by."

Cheng Bai silently picked up the cleaver and tried the feel of it. It was heavy and powerful, really good, and definitely a great weapon for beheading.

Well, our great King of Stun was forced to become the King of Knife.

Seeing that the guest accepted it, the receptionist felt relieved and complimented him, "Such a good knife deserves to be given a name that is unparalleled in the world."

Cheng Bai said casually: "Just call it a butcher knife."

The receptionist shook his head again and again: "Don't joke like that. A good horse goes with a good saddle, and a good sword goes with a good master. How dare you name it randomly? That would be degrading yourself. You must not do that."

Cheng Bai thought what he heard made sense. The local culture was even more ancient, so he recalled the famous saying of the ancients and said after a moment of contemplation: "Time flies by, and everything changes in the blink of an eye. Let's call it 'Guoxi Dao'."

The receptionist applauded and praised: "Good sentence, good name."

Cheng Bai waved his sword a few times and laughed. Using sharp weapons, he suddenly had a new understanding of the three dull sticks... no, it should be said that the three dull swords had a new understanding.

The original deadly three-kill sword was a sharp sword, but Cheng Bai gradually trained it into a blunt weapon, which was more ruthless and steady, but lacked agility and sharpness. The three martial arts moves should be more powerful than the previous one, but the most used of the three stun sticks was the stun pig head, and the last two moves failed to surpass it, because they could not exert their sharpness and could not go further.

Now that we have obtained the precious sword, the transformation can be more practical, which may not be a bad thing.

Cheng Bai let things take their course and soon grasped the trick and understood the truth. His martial arts state of mind was further improved. He took the knife and discarded the mace that had been deformed and was becoming increasingly unusable.

When the receptionist saw it, he hurriedly picked up the mace and said with a smile: "Although it is worn out, it can be recast as a weapon. All kinds of gold and iron in Qiongqi Continent are precious resources. If the guest doesn't want it, just give it to me."

Cheng Bai found him interesting and asked, "What's your name?"

The receptionist said, "I am Chi Zhongming."

"You will never be a fish in the pond in the future."

Cheng Bai laughed, feeling that he was gradually integrating into the local life, and asked again: "How does the Crossing Blade compare to the Moonlight Blade that Sect Master Fang refined in his early years?"

Chi Zhongming said seriously: "In addition to the high quality of the material, the two crystal cores of the king of monsters used in the Moonlight Blade are also very rare. They are also at the level of magical instruments, and their power is much higher than that of the Crossing Blade."

Cheng Bai asked doubtfully: "The difference lies in the crystal core?"

"That's right. The star gold material is even better than the Five-Colored Moonlight Deer King Horn, but it has no crystal core to strengthen it, so it relies on the user's own strength. The power of the high-level monster crystal core is considerable, not to mention the inlay of two. Among the seven magic weapons refined by the successive masters of the Qi Sect, the Moonlight Blade ranks seventh, which is extraordinary."

Chi Zhongming's martial arts level is low, but he knows a lot, which is beyond the reach of ordinary rumors.
