Dual Cultivation In Martial Peak

Chapter 14: Seven Divine Steps

Chapter 14- Seven Divine Steps

Following Xia Ning Chang's strange movements, the entire valley's dense Yin Qi began to react. If one were to look down at the valley, the scene would be quite similar to that of a pot of boiling water; it was like the Yin Qi was alive, repeatedly rolling around and around, an intimidating force to be reckoned with.

Xia Ning Chang's hand movements gradually became faster and faster, until after the images were formed. This caused the Yin Qi to blow more fiercely and shrilly, it sounded like the howls of wolves and the wailing of ghosts, causing hearts to shudder.

While Wen Fei Chen's face revealed his greed; he had underestimated the grade of the Defensive Artefact. 'To think it is a Heaven High-Grade Defensive Artefact! There is no way it would be able to hold up for such a long period without breaking if this wasn't the case!'

Heaven High Grade. This thing was able to block attacks from cultivators at the upper boundaries of the Immortal Ascension Boundary. So if he possessed this treasure, it would be equivalent to gaining an extra life.

"HAHAHAHA!" roaring out laughter, Wen Fei Chen had faith that as long as he let out another full-powered strike, he would be able to fully break through.

But before he could release this final palm strike, the Yin Qi within the valley suddenly settled down. The howling and wailing that he could hear also disappeared.

Xia Ning Chang's clear and pure eyes glittered and she called out in her lovable voice. "Seal!"

At that moment, Xia Ning Chang's preparations were complete!

Crash, crash from the sky, chains suddenly appeared along with the sound of locks locking.

Looking up in confusion, they could see ten-foot-long chains that were coarse and black, floating in the sky. These black chains excluded a dense Yin Qi and a chill that froze the heart.

These black Yin Qi chains floated around the heads of the Blood Battle Gang and Storm House. In the next instant, as if they had a mind of their own, they flew towards the people.

His face contorting, Wen Fei Chen knew that he was a step too late. Hurrying, he hastily sent another palm strike towards the barrier.

'She sealed everyone's cultivation to a certain extent?' Su Mu thought, pleasantly surprised.

Picking Xia Ning Chang up like a princess, he avoided the palm sent by Wen Fei Chen before stopping near a tree.

Placing her on the ground with the tree supporting her back, Su Mu caressed her cheek. Removing her veil slightly, Su Mu leaned forward and kissed Xia Ning Chang on the lips, which surprised the latter before her eyes widened in surprise.

'My Yuan Qi is being refilled at a very high speed.' Before Xia Ning Chang could even comprehend what Su Mu was doing, her Yuan Qi reserves were back at their full capacity.

The technique Su Mu used was quite simple, it replenished one party's Qi through physical contact with kissing being the fastest way.

By the time everyone recovered from Xia Ning Chang's attack, Su Mu let go of the kiss.

"Junior Brother, I can still..." Before Xia Ning Chang could finish her words, he placed his finger over her lips, making her quiet as she looked him in the eyes.

"After I unsheathe my sword, do not interfere in the battle. Well, there isn't much to do now, but don't interfere. Even if someone attacks you, just trust me." Su Mu replied with a smile, but Xia Ning Chang understood that he was serious about her not interfering.

Walking towards the group of twelve, Su Mu placed his right hand on the hilt of the sword before pulling it out.

Hearing his words, Wen Fei Chen smirked. "Boy, do you think you can survive this situation?"

"It's harder to think of a reason why I can't." Su Mu replied with a grin. "Your cultivation right now should be around 1st Stage Separation and Reunion Realm, no?"

Hearing his words, Wen Fei Chen frowned. "Even if that's the case, how do you expect to beat me?"

"Lord Wen, there is no point in talking nonsense with this kid. Let's just kill him before that woman recovers." Long Hui urged, making Wen Fei Chen nod in agreement.

With the tip of his sword touching the ground, Su Mu closed his eyes as a hazy blue glow appeared around his sword.

"Is that sword an artifact too?" Long Hui asked, his excitement rising.

'So Sword Qi that I cultivate myself doesn't trigger a World Baptism?' Opening his eyes, Su Mu looked at his sword with a smile on his face.

Sword Qi referred to the refined version of normal Qi to better suit the needs of a swordmaster. The density and purity of the Sword Qi depended on how much the sword master understood the Dao of Swords. But this Sword Qi was too weak when compared to Su Mu's standards because it was refined by Yuan Qi, the weakest type of Qi that a cultivator could access. But it was more than enough for this situation.

Unlike Martial Dal True Intent, which Su Mu didn't cultivate himself during his second life, his Sword Qi was cultivated by himself, so it was fair according to the Heavenly Way.

'Seven Divine Steps.' Su Mu thought, activating the movement technique he used in his previous life as he disappeared from the spot he was standing on.

Tap*

"WHAT?" Wen Fei Chen explained, looking at Su Mu who was standing in front of him with his sword resting on top of a little rock.

"Don't talk too much. You are already dead." Su Mu said with a calm smile while looking at the blue glow around his sword. "Maybe I am getting rusty? That simple horizontal slash had so many unnecessary movements."

"What do-" Before Wen Fei Chen could complete his sentence, his body was horizontally split in half.

Shocked gasping resounded as organs fell. Blood splattered all over the area, and everybody stared at the horrifying scene with wide eyes and dropped jaws, looking as though they were watching a scene from hell.

"Y-Y... You Bastard..." Long Hui muttered, horrified. Getting his strongest supporter killed like that had a great impact on him.

'I need to do something. That trash Long Hui is useless now.' Nu Lang thought, looking for a way to survive as his eyes fell on Xia Ning Chang, who was sitting on the ground while looking at Su Mu with wide eyes. 'Right, she is injured, if I capture her then I can live.'

With those thoughts in mind, Nu Lang ran towards Xia Ning Chen, who wasn't even reacting to him approaching her even though she was looking directly at him. Since Su Mu told her to not retaliate, she obeyed without any question.

Nu Lang soon noticed that his view was suddenly changing as his head fell to the ground, looking at Su Mu's face as he looked down at Nu Lang's head.

"You think you can outrun me?" Su Mu muttered. Even during his past life, he was the fastest 8th Rank Open Heaven Cultivator when it came to raw speed. This was thanks to the Seven Divine Steps, a movement technique he created and improved throughout his journey as a cultivator. With his nature as a Dual Cultivator, he was chased by a lot of men after having a not-so-agreeable affair with their wives. Well, it was just him calling it an affair. Those women were ready to leave their husbands for him at any given moment along with the countless maidens he tainted.

To this day, Su Mu can proudly claim that the 'Seven Divine Steps' is one of the best movement techniques that ever existed.

The only ones who could beat him in combat speed were those who either cultivated the Dao of Time or Space.

It didn't take long for him to dispose of every cultivator present except Long Hui, who he saved for the last.

"L-Let me go. M-My grandfather won't let this s-slide." Long Hui muttered, stepping back as Su Mu calmly walked towards him, the Sword Qi around his sword disappearing.

"AAAAAAAAAGGGGHHHHHHHHH. MY ARM! MY ARM!." Long Hui screamed as Su Mu slashed his right arm, making it fall to the ground.

"Stay quiet, will you?" Su Mu said, chopping both of Long Hui's legs as well, making his upper body fall chest first on the ground.

"AAAAAAGGHHHHHH. NOOO. PLEASE DON'T KILL ME, MY GRANDFATHER WILL GIVE YOU EVERYTHING. NO! STOP!" Long Hui kept shouting as Su Mu beheaded him.

Not long after that, the sword in Su Mu's hand started turning to dust with nothing remaining.

'The feeling of cutting flesh with a sword never changes.' Su Mu thought, turning towards Xia Ning Chang.

"Were you scared?" Su Mu asked, walking towards her.

Hearing his words, Xia Ning Chang shook her head in denial. Although she was naive, she wasn't stupid enough to not understand that if Su Mu hadn't killed these guys, it would've been them who would've died.

After that, it didn't take long for them to locate the Nine Yin Dew Crystals before Su Mu captured them. As per Xia Ning Chang's request, Su Mu put the crystal inside his mouth. Without even him consciously doing anything, his body was automatically absorbing the effects of the Nine Yin Dew Crystals.

"Brother, bear with it." Xia Ning Chang said with a blush, remembering what Su Mu did to her before fighting those guys as she removed her veil.

Jumping forward with all her courage, Xia Ning Chang kissed Su Mu, inserting her tongue in his mouth while absorbing the Nine Yin Dew Crystals before biting his tongue lightly.

"What was that bite for?" Su Mu asked.

"I'm sorry, I need your natural pure Yang Qi as well as a drop of blood from the tip of your tongue to absorb the Nine Yin Dew Crystals." Xia Ning Chang explained, trying to hide her embarrassment.

"B-Brother..." Xia Ning Chang squealed as Su Mu grabbed her by the waist before pushing her against a tree, continuously kissing her as his hands fondled her soft body.

Although she was surprised, Xia Ning Chang didn't resist, enjoying the sensation of Su Mu carefully caressing her body while lovingly kissing her.
