NOVEL NEXT Chapter 21
Breeze Sword Technique
“Elder, be careful!”
On the city tower of Canyon City.
Shen Chuanhai and the others couldn’t help but exclaim.
They were really afraid that something would happen to Shen Ruyan.
Fortunately, Shen Ruyan’s reaction was quick.
With a move of her finger, the lightning seal immediately appeared behind her.
Crackle—
Blinding lightning immediately shot out and collided fiercely with the pair of huge pincers!
Rumble!
Flames and lightning intertwined.
Shen Ruyan’s body was immediately sent dozens of meters away.
As for the Scarlet Flame Scorpion Snake, its entire body was numb and paralyzed.
This was a good opportunity!
On the city tower.
Jiang Chengxuan’s eyes lit up when he saw this.
This was definitely a perfect opportunity to launch a sneak attack.
Jiang Chengxuan took out the Purple Flame Sword. He instantly turned into a sword light and charged at the paralyzed Scarlet Flame Scorpion Snake.
Crack—
The flying sword with purple flames instantly slit across the Scarlet Flame Scorpion’s head.
The Scarlet Flame Scorpion Snake, which was in a numb state, did not have time to react before its head was cut off by the Level 2 mid-grade flying sword.
Then, he turned the sword around.
The quality of the True Essence that was comparable to the third level of the Foundation Establishment Realm immediately caused the Purple Flame Sword to glow again.
With a whoosh, the edge of the sword slit across the heavily injured Scarlet Flame Scorpion Snake and cut its body into two.
From then on, two of the three Level 2 Scarlet Flame Scorpion Snakes died and one was injured.
At the same time, the system’s voice sounded in Jiang Chengxuan’s mind.
[Congratulations, host. You have achieved the first kill of a Level 2 demon beast and obtained the Breeze Sword Technique.]
[Breeze Sword Technique: A high-grade Level 2 sword technique. After mastering it, your sword will be swift like a breeze. It’s quiet and undetectable. When people notice it, they will already be dead under your sword.]
In an instant, many things about the Breeze Sword Technique appeared in Jiang Chengxuan’s mind.
From words to images.
In just an instant, Jiang Chengxuan was already familiar with the basics of this sword technique.
If he wanted to master it, he would have to practice and study it himself.
Previously, he was troubled that he didn’t have a sword technique to bring out the max potential of a mid-grade Level 2 flying sword like the Purple Flame Sword. He did not expect the system to help him solve this problem.
“Roar!”
At the same time, when the last Scarlet Flame Scorpion Snake saw its two companions die, it let out an angry roar and turned around to escape into the distance without hesitation.
“Don’t let it escape!”
Shen Ruyan spun in the air.
With a whoosh, a large net that emitted a green light immediately enveloped the escaping Scarlet Flame Scorpion Snake.
This was her low-grade Level 2 Dharma artifact, the Green Net, which was specially used to trap enemies.
Jiang Chengxuan couldn’t help but think to himself that this woman really had a lot of treasures.
However, he did not slack off.
He immediately used the Breeze Sword Technique.
In an instant, the Scarlet Flame Scorpion Snake, which was escaping with all its might, felt a breeze brush past it.
However, what followed was an enormous pain.
The snake looked down.
At some point, a huge wound had been cut open by Jiang Chengxuan’s sword on its abdomen.
Red-brown blood was flowing out.
After being hit, the Scarlet Flame Scorpion Snake was stunned on the spot.
At the same time.
Shen Ruyan’s net that was emitting a green light had already covered the snake’s head before the net tightened up.
The snake struggled with all its might but could not break free at all.
This was a good opportunity!
Jiang Chengxuan’s eyes lit up again.
The Purple Flame Sword suddenly turned into a purple stream of light.
With a whoosh, it pierced through the Scarlet Flame Scorpion Snake’s left eye and flew out of the back of its head.
The snake, which was originally struggling crazily, paused for a moment before falling to the ground, creating a huge pit.
“Well done!”
Shen Ruyan immediately flew to Jiang Chengxuan’s side.
She looked at Jiang Chengxuan with surprise in her beautiful eyes.
She originally thought that since Jiang Chengxuan had just broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, his strength should be relatively limited.
Unexpectedly, the outcome was far beyond her expectations.
From his performance just now, he did not look like a cultivator who had just broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.
On the contrary, he was not inferior to those old cultivators who had been in the Foundation Establishment Realm for decades.
In fact, he might even be better than them.
His grasp of the opportunity to make an attack especially impressed her.
At the thought of this, Shen Ruyan couldn’t help but size up Jiang Chengxuan again and smile.
“I didn’t expect Elder Jiang to be so good at fighting. It’s all thanks to you just now.
Otherwise, it’s really impossible to subdue these three Level 2 demon beasts.”
Jiang Chengxuan shook his head with a smile.
“Elder Ruyan, you flatter me.
If not for the fact that you restrained them and seriously injured them just now, with my current strength, it would be impossible for me to subdue them.
Therefore, Elder Ruyan, your contribution is actually the greatest.”
Jiang Chengxuan knew very well that if not for the fact that Shen Ruyan had seriously injured the snakes, it would be very difficult for him to fight the snakes with his current strength.
“Hehe, Elder Jiang, don’t be humble.”
Shen Ruyan also smiled and shook her head.
“No matter what, you killed three Level 2 demon beasts just now. No one can take this credit from you.
There’s no need to be humble.
The most important thing now is for us to deal with the remaining Level 1 demon beasts first.”
As she spoke, Shen Ruyan looked in the direction of Canyon City again.
At this moment, outside Canyon City, because they saw the death of three Level 2 Scarlet Flame Scorpion Snakes, the Level 1 demon beasts that were originally gathered there began to escape in all directions.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan did not waste any more time and immediately started to hunt down the escaping Level 1 demon beasts.
In no time, other than a few demon beasts that had long escaped, the remaining Level 1 demon beasts were all killed by Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.
After sending all the demon beast corpses to Canyon City, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan looked at each other tacitly.
Shen Ruyan said, “There must be something fishy about those demon beasts suddenly attacking Canyon City this time.
I suspect that it might have something to do with that strange phenomenon last night.
Now that the threat from the demon beasts is cleared, why don’t we go to that place to take a look together?”
Jiang Chengxuan said with a nod, “I have no problem.”
Immediately, the two of them left Canyon City and headed to the place where the phenomenon took place last night.
