Chapter 9: Black Robe Guards
Chapter 9: Black Robe Guards
'I can feel the wind but I can't manipulate it. Yue Bin said the elemental intent can be a lethal power. My comprehension over the Five Elemental Qi Gathering Technique allows me to gather the wind qi from the surrounding.'
'But to do so, I must feel the wind qi. I can only feel the wind, not wind qi. What should I do?' Qin asked himself as he rests on the tree. It was already the night time and decided to take some rest. Although the bright moon had enough light, he can't be sure to move alive in the forest at night.
At the night, he doesn't cultivate. With proper sleep in the night, he can cultivate non-stop or even run non-stop.
Next Morning,
As soon as he woke up, he fetched the food for himself. After having a meal, he ran like hell. Yesterday, he understood the danger of cultivating right now. After all, he can be spotted clearly on the day. Thankfully, he had rested enough at the night so, he ran for an entire day.
When the sun started setting at the west, he got himself another meal and finally decided to cultivate before the night starts. The reason why he wasn't cultivating was the lack of resources. Each stage has a bottleneck.
Without enough qi, it is impossible to break through. Fortunately, he had killed those men. He found an essence stone in each pouch. He sat cross-legged and crushed the stone.
As soon as the essence stone got crushed, the blue qi rose and encircled him. It felt the wind turning into the hurricane around but this wind was gentle as the water. Suddenly, the Five Elemental Qi Gathering Technique was activated and the pores on his body.
These pores sucked in the blue qi and it traveled through his veins. Slowly, he controlled the blue qi to the meridian on his right hand. He can't open it with a small amount of qi so he had to compress a large amount of qi inside his meridian.
Soon, the blue qi around him depleted but he hurriedly broke another stone and a large amount of blue qi encircled his body once again. He didn't hesitate to suck in all that blue qi inside his body. The blue qi enters the same path and flows through his blood veins to reach the meridian.
The meridian itself is the combination of several blood veins that have been blocked from birth for some reason. These nine meridians are specific because each meridian is connected with the dantian on one end.
On for another hand, it is connected to a point where he can transfer a huge amount of qi into several veins. This means once all of his nine meridians open, he can revolve qi all around his body in a large amount and in a short duration.
Without meridians, he cannot store qi inside his dantian as well. He had to wait for the third essence stone. This made him confused. He didn't understand why it took him three essence stones just to the reach second stage.
But soon, his Qi sense felt the flow of qi merging with his heart and a part of it remains in his heart. This was mysterious and more importantly, he feels the amount increasing after each flow.
Qin found he had no way to control or intercept this unless he stops the cultivation. So, he puts that matter aside and focuses on pushing the massive amount of qi to break the blockade inside his meridian.
"Ahhhhh!"
As soon as he tries to break the blockade, an intense pain spreads from his meridian to his brain. It was even stronger than the previous pain. But, Qin soon realized the consequences of his scream. His blood started boiling and the whole skin felt like it was torn apart.
But, Qin shuts his mouth and bears the pain. After that scream, he didn't let out a single more scream. His eyes were slowly turning red due to the intense pain flowing through his body. Soon, it came to an end.
Thud!
As soon as he reached the second stage, opened the meridian, he fell on the ground and closed his eyes. He was too tired. He didn't understand why his cultivation was so painful. He knew opening meridian was a painful step but he didn't know it would be this painful.
Soon, Qin fell asleep and the bright light fell on his face.
Crunch! Crunch!
Suddenly, his eyes opened when he heard the sound. He hurriedly stood up and looked around.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a person in a black robe fell from the tree, followed by several others. Only when they landed on the ground, Qin feel them. In an instant, he understood the difference between him and his opponent.
Two or even three stages above him!
It would be impossible to defeat them
"Qin Che, surrender yourself and return for atoning for your sin!" One of them spoke underneath a black mask. He was holding a sword like others.
"Will they kill me?" Qin asked but he already know.
"Depends on them." The man holding the sword replied.
Hearing his words, Qin shook his head and took a deep breath. He puts his hand on the hilt of his sword. Seeing this, the man in front of him didn't waste a single second and rushed towards Qin.
"Bloodline Ability- Lightning Spirit Body!"
As soon as his blood trembled, the lightning scattered from his body.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, his body dashed towards the man in front of him. The lightning bolts scattered from his body and struck the man while their swords collides.
Splash!
"Second Form- Breaking the Ground!"
Crack! Crack! Splash!
Suddenly, a sword mark appeared on both of them. The blood gushed out of his stomach but Qin had another terrible situation. His sword broke into pieces after the collision. Suddenly, his eyes narrowed as he tried to turn back.
Splash!
Just when he turned back, he saw a man shrouded with darkness standing tall in front of him. He had a dagger covered in blood.
Thud!
In front of that man, one of the guards fell on the ground with a cut on his neck.
Whoosh! Splash! Splash! Splash! Splash!
Suddenly, Qin's eyes widen when he saw the man disappearing like the wind. In an instant, the dagger appeared on the neck of several guards and slashed them.
Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!
Soon, one by one, those men fell on the ground while the man shrouded with black gas walked towards Qin. Seeing him approaching closer, Qin retreated a few steps. But soon, he realized his legs were frozen. An immense pressure fell on his body and made his body stagnant.
"Take these!" The man took out two scrolls and handed them to Qin. But, suddenly he realized that Qin couldn't move. He hurriedly realized the pressure and Qin stumbled back, falling on his butt. But, Qin had his mind focused on two scrolls in front of him.
"What are these?" Qin didn't take it rather asked a question.
"Someone asked me to give these to you and also left a message for you." The man had a sharp tone as he spoke. Qin hesitated before taking it. But soon, he took it and asked "What's the message?"
"Once you reach the Essence Transformation Realm, come back and meet him!" The man spoke in a way that instantly changed Qin's expression. He easily understood the message but there was disbelieve in his eyes.
He didn't understand why the other party will help him. While he was left with several questions, a few men in black clothes surrounded them. This startled Qin as he looked at the man in front of him.
At this moment, he knew he didn't have any control over this. He didn't even know these men. They were wearing black clothes but there was a certain difference. Those men had black robes while these men had the entire black dress.
Seeing them, the man shrouded with black gas had his eyes shrunk. He quickly turned his head and said "Run!"
With that, he instantly dashed towards one of them. Suddenly, the black gas reached his dagger. But before he could land, two men appeared near that man and slashed their swords against him. The dagger was blocked by three men.
The last remaining one rushed towards Qin. In an instant, he reached in front of him even before Qin could move. Suddenly, the lightning bolts burst out of him and struck that man. Unfortunately, that man blocked those lightning bolts with his palm.
Whoosh!
Using the lightning empowered agility, he dashed away. He knew he can't survive if he tries to fight back.
Splash!
But, suddenly a sword pierced through his right leg.
"Ahhhh!" Qin screamed in agony as the man pulled back his sword. But, Qin didn't stop running away. He blocked the blood with his hand.
"Damn!" The man with black gas was entangled with three people, unable to rescue Qin.
"Splash!"
"Ugh!" Qin screamed once again when his leg got pierced. His lightning disappeared. There was an unwillingness in his eyes. He turned his head and looked at the man that was playing with him.
No matter how fast Qin could move, he couldn't outrun that man. And, this man was simply trying to make Qin give up. The hatred shrouded his eyes when he looked at that man.
'Weak! I'm too weak.' Qin struggled to move but once again, the man pierced his other leg.
Thud!
Finally, Qin fell to the ground. Seeing this, the man shrouded with black gas sighed. The man playing with Qin finally extended his hand to catch Qin.
Splash!
