Kapitel 6: Silent Hills

Redakteur: Hitesh_

In the blink of an eye, another month or so had passed by and the Mu Ren Gang challenge was less than a week away.

During this period of time, Ye Chen split his time between his horse stance practice every morning and night, building his physical fitness, and martial art training.

At this point of time, Ye Chen could already lift a three-hundred-pound huge rock over his head with only one hand; and with both hands, he could easily hold thousands of pounds over his head.

Besides all the noticeable improvements in his body, Ye Chen was finally powerful enough to use sword arts more freely and easily with regards to speed and control. His power had reached a whole new level, and could slice seven falling leaves, cut through a huge tree, and leave four inch gashes on a huge rock, all in just one single move.

It's time to move on to battle skills. Ye Chen realized he had already reached his peak, and improvement would be limited if he kept training. Instead of wasting his time and energy, he might as well try to gain some experience fighting and new techniques so that he could reach his full potential.

However, real battle skills were hard to obtain. Ye Chen was still just an outer disciple who could not go out into the world to risk life and death in battles; even if Ye Chen were of the same realm as an inner disciple, he would still lose after two or three moves. That was the difference between having and not having a life and death experience.

Thankfully, he did not have to fight with an actual person to experience such a battle. There were many demonic beasts in this world for that matter. A demonic beast could actively or passively train themselves, and when the richness of the Demonic Beast Qi inside their body reached a certain level, they would go through a mutation and evolve into the next level.

Since thousands of years, the ancient people classified the Demonic Beasts in different ranks. Rank 1 and 2 were comparable to the Mortal Realm; Rank 3 and Rank 4 were comparable to the Condensing Reality Realm; Rank 5 and Rank 6 comparable to Clasping Yuan Realm; the Demonic Beasts of Rank 6 and higher were extremely rare, only would appear in those deep ancient forests high up in the mountains.

Fighting against a Demonic Beast was not as easy as people would expect. On the contrary, Demonic Beasts were more powerful than human beings. If a monster that had hunted countless animals and humans suddenly appeared in front of you, with one look, it would scare and affect you so much that you could reach only five percent of your actual ability.

With that in mind, Ye Chen decided to go train in the Silent Hills area because there were always some low level demonic beasts around.

Putting his great steel sword down, Ye Chen straightened his clothes and walked out of the yard.

Walking down the mountain, he saw a lot of inner and outer disciples going up and down the path and thought no matter who you are, if you want to live a good life, you would have to have money. The Ye family that he belonged to had a massive fortune, so in theory he was not poor, but sadly that was not the truth. The Ye family had a population of around a thousand people, six or seven hundred of which were businessmen helping the family business, the rest of the four or five hundred people put all their effort into practicing martial arts. However, if you wanted to protect your own property, you would have to hire protection which cost a great amount of money. So even his father, the leader of the Ye family, had only fifty thousand silvers in his personal asset, and as the son of the leader, Ye Chen was given an allowance of one hundred silver per month.

One hundred silvers per month couldn't do much, only enough to eat well and dress decently. He couldn't afford to use expensive medical supplements for the training of his body that the core disciples of the family or the school were able to afford.

He climbed down to the bottom of the mountain and after finding the right direction, he sped up.

Around noon, Ye Chen arrived at the entrance of Silent Hills, where he started to sight some Rank 1 Demonic Beasts. Normally a Mortal Realm warrior would never dare to come to this kind of a dangerous place. Even Ye Chen was quite cautious about his surroundings and kept his hands on his sword at all times, ready to react to any commotion.

Silently walking forward, the strongest demonic beast Ye Chen had seen was a wounded Rank 2 Scarlet Fire Bird. However, Ye Chen lamented his misfortune that he was unable to hunt flying beasts.

After walking for a while and killing three weak Rank 1 demonic beasts, Ye Chen suddenly stopped and moved all his Qi to his ears to enhance his hearing.

There is a fight over there!

The biggest difference between a normal person and a martial artist was the ability to use Qi. A normal person could have amazing senses but after a point, they would hit a limit. But a martial artist could manipulate their Qi to enhance their senses. Ye Chen, by using his Qi, could faintly hear clashes of a fight about a mile away and knew exactly which direction the sound was coming from.

Following the sound, Ye Chen rushed there quietly. Pushing aside the branches, Ye Chen found a forest scene with human figures and a huge growling demonic beast.

When he was thirty steps away from the battlefield, Ye Chen jumped up onto a big tree to watch the fight from above.

In the woods, there was an emptied grassy field about fifteen meters long. And in that field, there were five teenagers holding weapons in their hands, surrounding a huge demonic beast. Its body was about three meters long and looked like a tiger with black shiny hair, panting as its long bloody tongue dripped with purple liquid. Its mouth was filled with huge sharp teeth and its claws were sharp and angled, measuring about a meter long.

It was a Late Stage Rank 2 Poison Saw-Toothed Tiger, its power equivalent to a Mortal Realm Rank 10 martial artist. Its teeth carried a deadly poison that, once touched, would cause the skin to fester and was only cured by a single antidote, otherwise once the poison spread to the heart, even a Condensing Reality Realm martial artist would lose their life.

Ye Chen noticed that the group of teenagers all had a golden loop symbol on their sleeves, identifying them as disciples of a low ranking institution.

The Hall of Golden Light was also a rank 9 school like the Sky Cloud Martial School. The leader of the hall, Li Yi was a Middle Ranked Clasping Yuan Realm martial artist who specialized in using the Deadly Golden Loop weaponry. According to the rumors, he used to be an outer disciple of the Sky Cloud Martial School, before he left to travel to many other countries outside of his native Heavenly Wind Country. Upon returning, he founded the Hall of Golden Light which currently had about five hundred disciples.

The five people attacking the monster were quite lacking, but had great teamwork, a result of spending a lot of time together in many different situations.

A teenage girl in red, holding a skinny sword of the Mortal Realm Stage Level 5 landed several sword attacks on the beast. By her side, there were twin boys with blades who were very bulky and powerful looking. They continuously shouted and ran around the demonic beast in attempt to focus the attacks on themselves.

Although these three people worked very hard, their attacks were not as effective as the other two in their party.

One of them was an extremely fit young man in black, holding a dangerous looking halberd, the "Verdant Dragon Halberd". The two-meter-long weapon seemed very heavy. Every time the Poisonous Sawtooth Tiger was about to attack the others, it would be beaten back by him and left with a bloody wound.

But the one Ye Chen noticed the most was the teenager in blue, he was about eighteen years old, and had only a flute around his waist. Weaponless, his attacks were actually the most powerful, every causal punch of his would conjure up a sharp black storm which would force the monster to back down.

If Ye Chen guessed right, the teenager in blue was a Mortal Realm Rank 9 martial artist, and was able to mix his Qi into the air around his palm and forcefully attack people without them noticing. Of course, the power of that attack could not compare to actually pushing Qi outside the body. Otherwise, the demonic beast would have been dead already.

The badly wounded monster in front of them was already exhausted, and after the poisonous smoke that it futilely blew out was pushed away by the black storm from the punch of the teenager in blue, the monster turned around and tried to escape.

"Not a chance!" The teenager in blue moved fast like lightning, without restraint, and hit the side of the monster extremely hard.

Boom!

After one last growl, the monster was thrown like an old cotton bag by that punch. The beast cried pitifully before it died due to all of its organs exploding.

"Very impressive Brother Liu." the girl in red swiped the sweat off and turned to look at the young man in blue with envy.

The teenager in blue said calmly: "This is not that impressive. In a couple of years you will match this power easily."

The teenager in black holding the verdant dragon halberd said: "Heh, years? I am at the Late Stage Mortal Realm Rank 7, it would only take a couple of months to catch up to you."

"Mmm." The man in blue nodded as he didn't really mind.

The girl in red made a displeased face, as she heard the arrogant statement of the teenager in black.


Kapitel 7: The Poisonous Sawed Tooth Tiger

The twin brothers suddenly laughed brightly as they harvested the demonic beast, "This time we got really lucky! This demonic beast condensed a poisonous pearl core!"

"A poisonous pearl core?" The blue robed young man and black clothed man seemed surprised.

The twin brothers calmly nodded, "Yes, it is. It seems to have been formed only a couple of months ago judging that it is no larger than a walnut."

A Rank 2 demonic beast could sell for about a thousand silvers. After dividing it five ways, everyone would receive two hundred silvers. However, a pearl core from the demonic beast's body could sell for one thousand silvers by itself. And even though it was only formed months ago, a pearl the size of a walnut could sell for at least two thousand silvers. This was because the poisonous pearl core came from the Demonic Beast's dantian which could be used as a medicinal ingredients or used for training one's poison arts. What was a pearl core? It was simply the condensation of the demonic beast's life energy compressed over the ages along with the richness of Qi in its dantian. The result was a pearl that formed from layer upon layer of energy slowly wrapping the pearl core to become larger and larger.

The red clothed girl stared with big eyes as she reached out to touch that incredible rare black pearl core with her hand before the blue robed young man stopped her immediately, "Little Sister Tao, don't touch it! Poisonous pearl cores are condensed from the poison from the demonic beasts over many years. It is extremely toxic, it can even melt through iron not to mention what would happen if you touch it!"

"Hmph!" The young girl stuck her tongue out.

The blue robed teenager took out a jade box from his pocket and said: "A wooden box and an iron box would not be able to contain this pearl core, only a jade box could safely seal in the poison." The boy began to accumulate Qi in his left hand before gently pushing the Qi out to lift the poisonous pearl up in the air without actually touching it, carefully putting it into the jade box.

By the dead beast, the twin brothers had already began to cut away parts of the demonic beast's body parts before storing them into a golden silky leather bag.

After everything was done, the elder twin brother frowned: "Elder brother Liu, we spent so much effort to kill this one demonic beast. Back in the cave we Sawed at least three demonic beasts, one of which was extremely massive."

The red clothed girl suggested: "Perhaps we could go back and ask for help."

"What if other people get there first?" The elder twin frowned.

The teenager in black rolled his eyes, "How is that even possible? The Silent Hills are at least a thousand miles long, and with its complex layout, it's incredibly rare to find another group."

The blue robed young man shook his head, "Didn't you guys notice? The Poison Heart Plant is about to ripen."

"Hmm? What does that mean?" The red clothed girl could not understand.

The young man in black looked a little bit distracted and also a little bit embarrassed as he said: "Once the plant is ready, those poisonous demonic beasts would come out to eat it."

The blue robed young man made up his mind, as he said in a low voice: "We can handle normal Poisonous Sawed-Tooth beasts, but that extremely large one is definitely out of our league so let's give it up! Otherwise there is a huge chance that we would all die."

Everyone fell silent while reflecting on those words, it was definitely not worth to lose their life over this.

"How about I tag along?"A bright voice rang out in their direction.

"Who are you?!" The teenager in black spun around brandishing his Verdant Green Halberd, posed to attack.

Ye Chen walked to them very slowly "Calm down, calm down. I'm not here to steal anything. I was just walking past when I Sawed you guys."

The man in black sneered, "Just walking past? Lies! You heard our conversation!"

"Be calm." The blue robed young man gave him an annoyed look as he took a step forward, blocking the three men behind him. He asked: "Who are you, good sir? It seems like we haven't met."

Ye Chen shrugged, "Ye Chen. Outer Disciple of the Sky Cloud Martial School. I was out hunting when I heard your fight so I came to have a look. I mean no harm."

"I see." The blue robed young man did not doubt Ye Chen. The demonic beast was quite strong, so it was quite probable for others to hear them fighting. Plus, Ye Chen belonged to the Sky Cloud Martial School, a higher ranked school than the Hall of Golden Light, and it was not appropriate to offend him needlessly.

The young man in black observed Ye Chen carefully, he sarcastically replied, "Did you say you have only reached Mortal Realm Rank 6? How can a weakling help us with anything?"

Ye Chen glanced at him, then said to the blue robed teenager: "If my guess is right, that large demonic beast should be roughly equivalent to an Early Condensing Reality Realm martial artist which could be very hard to deal with. But I have a plan to seal its movements."

"Oh? What's that?" The red clothed girl seemed to be interested.

Ye Chen knew that he would not be able convince them if he did not prove at least some of his ability, so he unsheathed his great steel sword. Seeing him reaching for his sword, they all narrowed their eyes as they tightened their grips on their weapons in case he suddenly decided to attack them. Who could tell one's intentions when faced with a poisonous pearl worth at least two thousand silvers.

Ye Chen took a deep breath as he turned around to face a large tree, before suddenly stabbing his sword towards the tree.

Piu!

The tree's trunk had the width of two grown men, but it easily became a piece of soft tofu after being stabbed through without any restraint.

The blue robed young man looked surprised, he said quietly, "Sword Light Coagulation! He can condense the sword light into a single point, what skill!"

A very small percent of Mortal Realm martial artists were able to comprehend the mysteries of the sword and form sword light. To be in the Mortal Realm and comprehend Sword Light Coagulation was unheard of! The blue robed young man shook his head in defeat. As he witnessed Ye Chen achieve Coagulation, he couldn't help but admire him. Definitely a Sky Cloud Disciple, no doubt about it he thought.

Ye Chen turned around and said: "Poisonous Sawed Tooth Tigers are quite dangerous to kill due their extremely swift movements paired with their high defense. But if we could break through their armor and cripple one of its legs, then we can take it down."

The competitive young man in black sneered: "Hah, words are cheap. You think demonic beasts are trees? They won't wait for you there to slowly cut off their legs"

Ye Chen grinned, as he once again waved his sword a couple of times.

Shing!

The sword was back in its scabbard.

When the teenager in black was just about to sneer again, a couple of leaves drifting above Ye Chen's head suddenly split in half, then again into four pieces, each with smooth edges!

Everyone gasped, being able to do this without even looking was an extremely high level of skill. Even the masters in the Hall of Golden Light couldn't do it.

The blue robed young man took a deep breath, and smiled, "I am Liu Tao, an outer disciple in the Hall of Golden Light. This fellow in black here is Wang Haichuan. And these two twins are Yang Wen and Yang Wu. And this is junior sister Tao Qing." Liu Tao pointed at the four people as he introduced them, finally confident of Ye Chen's abilities.

Ye Chen replied submissively, "Nice to meet you guys."

Tao Qing chuckled: "Are all the outer disciples in the Sky Cloud Martial School this strong?"

Wang Haichuan replied quietly, "Preposterous..."

...

In the forest, a slope could be seen by itself, it was about ten meters high and more than a mile in length.

"Brother Ye, about a hundred steps further and you will see the cave. If nothing has changed, there should be two Poisonous Sawed-Tooth Tigers guarding outside, while the huge one would be inside."

Those five people had all trained their movement skills extensively and could walk without any sounds at all, like a group of ghosts.

Ye Chen nodded as he whispered: "Brother Liu, do you have a plan on how to draw one out?"

Liu Tao smiled, "Those Poisonous Saweded-Tooth Tigers love to eat poisonous plants. I have five harvested Poisonous Scorpion Plants, and although they are not as exquisite as the Poison Heart Plant, it should work. In fact that's how we lured the previous beast out before."

Shortly after, the group could see the dark cave and the two demonic beasts about ten meters away. They all sucked in their breath and held it for a moment at the sight.

With everyone nervously staring, Liu Tao took out a long jade box from his pocket and opened it. Inside was full of purple plants that had nine leaves each, and smelled somewhat fishy. They were the Poisonous Scorpion Plants!

Holding them in his hand, Liu Tao explained: "This Poisonous Scorpion Plant's smell spreads very quickly. Once a demonic beast catches a whiff of it, we will have to immediately depart, otherwise we risk being swarmed by other demonic beasts."

As Liu Tao was talking, the demonic beast near them suddenly raised its head, flaring its nostril.

"Its coming!" Tao Qing's eyes gleamed in excitement as her body tensed for action.

It was almost as if they were playing a game, when the demonic beast took ten steps forward, they took thirty steps back; then the demonic beast walked forward thirty steps, they backed out another hundred steps.
