Chapter 498: The Flaming Saber Technique, eat it while it’s still warm! (2/2)
Inside the smelted cave, the surrounding four walls were charred black.
The aftermath of the bodies of the black dragon puppet and She Lan exploding was still clearly visible before their eyes. On the other hand, the place where the blood pond was located had been destroyed by Venerable Spirit b.u.t.terfly.
At this time, the blood pond had dried up, and all the runes inside the smelted cave had been moved away by Venerable Spirit b.u.t.terfly. Those runes were related to the 'teleporting formation' and were thus very helpful towards Venerable Spirit b.u.t.terfly's research.
Song Shuhang replied, ”This is the immortal cave of a deceased cultivator. Be careful, we are heading toward the inner part.”
Li Yinzhu tightly grabbed Song Shuhang's clothes and closely followed behind him.
Guoguo was also closely following behind Li Yinzhu.
The two seahorses didn't have any fighting strength. Therefore, Song Shuhang left them next to the silver dragon puppet. The silver dragon was currently in an active state, and Song Shuhang only needed a word to make it take off. After all, that wooden puppet hiding in the depths of the smelted cave was somewhat strange. Song Shuhang had no choice but to prepare some countermeasures.
❄️❄️❄️
Very soon, Song Shuhang's group arrived in the inner part of the cave.
Originally, there were many 'skin puppets' and other puppet parts lying in here. Later, Song Shuhang, Soft Feather, and Liu Jianyi destroyed everything.
The surroundings were likewise charred black. Those were the traces left behind by a large fire.
Song Shuhang carefully looked around and discovered that no one had been here recently.
”Jiaojiao, get ready. In a while, I'll destroy that layer of stone. There is a strange human-like puppet concealed behind the layer of stone that might be related to the Jet-Black Sect,” Song Shuhang said.
At the same time, he took out the emerald-green kasaya and put it on. The kasaya itself had an incredibly strong defense, and it could be activated as well for an even stronger defense. If it were possible to turn it into a daoist robe, Song Shuhang would have been even happier.
Yu Jiaojiao nodded and said, ”No problem. I'll prepare a powerful defensive s.h.i.+eld, as well as a subst.i.tution technique.”
Li Yinzhu didn't need Song Shuhang's reminder. She slightly opened her mouth and the sword orb flew out, hovering next to her body and maintaining a state of alertness.
”In that case, I'm going in.” Song Shuhang grasped the treasured saber Broken Tyrant and arrived in front of the layer of stone that was concealing the exquisite wooden puppet in his dream.
Song Shuhang operated his true qi according to the ❮Thirty-Three Divine Beasts' Technique❯. With that, Song Shuhang's each and every action was accompanied by the cry of a huge whale. In this state, Song Shuhang could burst forth a power that was comparable to that of a huge whale.
Soon after, Song Shuhang held the treasured saber Broken Tyrant in his hand and spun his wrist.
Then, he visualized in his mind Scarlet Heaven's heaven burning saber intent.
”Flaming Saber Technique!”
Bright flames started to burn, and Song Shuhang violently slashed out, sending the saber qi toward the layer of stone.
Song Shuhang's knowledge of basic saber techniques had sharply increased while practicing the ❮Inverted Scale Saber Technique❯ with Young Master Phoenix Slayer's CPU.
The higher one's knowledge in regards to basic saber techniques was, the higher would be their comprehension in regards to saber techniques. When he used the Flaming Saber Technique this time, the saber intent within was much more powerful.
The power of the saber intent and the Flaming Saber Technique complemented each other!
This slash of the Flaming Saber Technique was much bigger in size than the one Song Shuhang unleashed during the fight on the Grievance Settling Platform. The blazing saber qi that streaked across the air was almost four meters long!
This attack of the Flaming Saber Technique should be enough to destroy that layer of stone, right? Song Shuhang thought to himself.
❄️❄️❄️
In the instant the saber qi of the Flaming Saber Technique slashed out, a figure suddenly flashed past Song Shuhang's body, positioning itself in front of the layer of stone!
While facing the blazing saber qi, the figure spread its arms and opened its small mouth. Its long silvery hair was fluttering in the wind… the figure was unexpectedly Li Yinzhu!
”Yinzhu? What are you doing!” Song Shuhang bellowed with all his might. What game was this little girl playing? Why did she suddenly blocked the path of the Flaming Saber Technique?
Was it because there was something strange about that layer of stone?
Song Shuhang quickly stretched out his hand and made a grabbing motion from afar. The saber intent inside the Flaming Saber Technique disappeared. That saber intent was a copy of Scarlet Heaven's saber intent, and its killing power was very high. Luckily, Song Shuhang could freely control it and make it disappear at any time.
After losing the support of the saber intent, the lethality of the blazing saber qi greatly decreased, only the blazing flames were left.
At this time, Song Shuhang saw Li Yinzhu open her mouth and make several seals with her hands.
”Slurp!” Li Yinzhu inhaled through her small mouth.
In the next moment, something astonis.h.i.+ng happened.
That huge slash of blazing saber qi was sucked into her mouth like noodles. In just two seconds, the whole attack had thoroughly disappeared into her mouth.
”Burp~” Li Yinzhu burped with a satisfied expression on her face. It seemed she had enjoyed the meal.
Song Shuhang opened his eyes wide: ?
She unexpectedly ate the Flaming Saber Technique!
Although it was only the outer sh.e.l.l of the Flaming Saber Technique without the support of the saber intent, it was still a slash made of true fire born generated from true qi. Those flames were much hotter than normal fire.
Now, Li Yinzhu had unexpectedly sucked it inside her belly through her small mouth… this was literally the saying: 'eat the food while it's warm because you won't like it once it's cold'.
After eating the blazing flames, Li Yinzhu breathed out a mouthful of warm air, and her originally pale face became somewhat ruddy. She seemed full of energy.
Looking at how skilled she was, it absolutely wasn't her first time eating the Flaming Saber Technique.
Song Shuhang unconsciously glanced at the ancient bronze ring on his finger and thought of the Flaming Saber Technique engraved on it.
Is it possible that Daoist Priest Li Tiansu often fed the flames of the 'Flaming Saber Technique' to his daughter? Is this the reason Li Yinzhu instinctively moved forward and ate the flames as soon as she saw them?
