Chapter 44: Chapter 44: Rely on Yourself

This thought of “who is stronger and who is weaker” flashed through Han Yi’s mind and was put aside.
After all, Han Yi didn’t have much combat experience, and he had never seen the Dan Sword Skill in action, so it was naturally difficult for him to make a subjective judgment.
Next.
The other three at the seventh level of Qi cultivation and the four at the sixth level also introduced themselves. Of course, such introductions would definitely have some reservations, as no one would casually reveal their own secrets.
As Han Yi listened, he finally understood why it was rumored that the Xuandan Sect’s disciples were not good at fighting.
In fact, it was indeed true.
Take Lu Su, for example. He was at the eighth level of Qi cultivation, and he had only one offensive magic skill, which sounded like it had limited power.
Han Yi couldn’t help but shake his head inwardly.
From this, it didn’t seem very reliable. If they encountered an enemy, they couldn’t fully rely on their teammates, and they would have to rely on themselves.
Finally, it was Han Yi’s turn.
“My name is Han Yi, an outer disciple from Little Lingxu Peak. I’m at the sixth level of Qi cultivation, and 1 have practiced one Sword Control Skill and one defensive Fire Shield Skill.”
Han Yi shared the information matter-of-factly, mentioning the Fire Shield Skill and his Sword Control Skill.
After all, he had a sword tool at his waist, and instead of being secretive, it was better to be open about it.
“Oh, Sword Control Skill?” Lu Su looked at Han Yi differently, and his face showed a hint of surprise.
Sword Control Skill was not simple. It usually required one to reach the seventh level of Qi cultivation before they could truly practice Sword Control Skills, and it was extremely difficult to get started.
It seemed that this outer Sect junior brother of his had decent talent and that his combat prowess might even surprise him.
“It’s just an incomplete version of the Sword Control Skill that I obtained by chance in a market when I was sent down the mountain,” Han Yi said truthfully.
“Oh.”
Lu Su’s eyes, which had brightened up, returned to their normal state.
An incomplete version of the Sword Control Skill would definitely be much weaker than the complete version.
Moreover, this junior brother of his had been sent out before and was lucky enough to return to the sect. His talent must be limited.
Oh well, he must have thought too much.
The others who had been looking at Han Yi also withdrew their gazes in an instant.
Han Yi said no more and silently closed his mouth.
Although he was forced to join the task due to the sect, he chose to remain low-key.
He was past the age of being competitive.
“Alright, now that everyone is familiar with each other, let’s choose a room in this temporary residence to settle down.”
“Keep a close watch on any unusual movements outside, and report to me immediately if anything happens.”
“You may all leave now.”
After everyone had introduced themselves, Lu Su had a general understanding of his team and, with a clear idea in mind, gently waved his hand to dismiss everyone.
Han Yi followed the group out of the room, found an empty room in the temporary residence, sat down cross-legged, placed the Shadowless Sword on his lap, and slowly transferred his mana to it, gradually refining it.
This medium-grade sword tool was still in the initial stages of refinement and was far from being ready for Sword Control.
But Han Yi had his own plans.
He had three daggers hidden at his waist, ankles, and back. These three daggers had been refined for seven or eight years and could be used with ease and proficiency.
That was his greatest reliance on long-range attacks at present.
The Shadowless Sword could only serve as a cover for now.
Besides, if they got close, he had the Spirit Void Finger for offense, the Fire Shield Skill for defense, and the Turtle Breath Skill for hiding his tracks.
Unfortunately, the Turtle Breath Skill had limited practice time and had only reached the ‘Enter the Hall’ level.
Time was still too short.
Han Yi sighed.
Being on the frontlines at this time, there was no room for haste.
Moreover, practicing the Turtle Breath Skill required deep meditation, which was not suitable for the current environment.
As for the Fire Shield Skill, it was even more of a disturbance.
That meant he could take advantage of this time to nourish the sword tool a little, and this kind of nourishment had to be at the minimal level. In this way, he could keep his body and magic power close to a perfect state so that he could deal with any emergencies at any time.
Han Yi thought there would be a short period of peaceful and stable time coming up, after all, even if the war started on all fronts, it could not happen instantly.
However, in fact, he was proven wrong.
The fighting began on the very night they stationed in Tianqing City.
Late at night.
A sharp scream suddenly rang out, followed by a violent explosion sound.
Han Yi’s eyes shot open as he jumped out of his light meditation, his heart pounding and muscles tensing throughout his whole body.
It was impossible not to be nervous.
In this grand battle, he was just a small cultivator at the sixth level of Qi cultivation, which was the lowest level. One careless move, and he could easily be pinched to death by a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, requiring no more effort than crushing an ant.
If he could pay money to avoid disaster, Han Yi would be willing to give most of his family fortune to the sect and hide on Little Lingxu Peak to cultivate on his own.
Unfortunately, there was no room for maneuver once the sect issued a compulsory mission.
Hearing the sound of explosion and fighting, Han Yi knew that he couldn’t keep his head down anymore. He picked up his sword, and cautiously and quickly pushed open the door.
Outside the door, Lu Su and several other senior brothers were standing in an open space, looking up.
Two Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators were having a battle of magic skills in the air.
The explosion sound was coming from above.
“It’s Elder Gu.”
“Damn it, Blood God Sect is actually launching a night raid.”
“What do we do? Senior Brother Lu.”
“What do we need to do now?”
Of this group of people, only Lu Su and a seventh-level senior brother named Luo Yunzhou had participated in the Devil Cave battle four years ago, and they had relatively rich combat experience. The others were taking part in such a fight for the first time, and they were suddenly at their wits’ end.
Before the solemn-faced Lu Su could speak, the situation in midair changed dramatically.
The two Foundation Establishment cultivators, one chasing the other, quickly disappeared into the distance.
“Elder Gu is chasing after his opponent.”
“Great, Elder Gu has gained the upper hand.”
“We won.”
“Should we follow them?”
Han Yi stood beside the crowd, not speaking, his gaze pulled back from the streaks of light that disappeared into the sky, his expression darkening even more.
He believed that the battle above was just the beginning, not the end.
Lu Su had the same intuition, with the most experience among everyone, having been through the Devil Cave battle.
“Don’t rush, let’s wait.”
His words had just fallen.
Suddenly.
Dozens of figures appeared around their station, and under the moonlight, the bloody robes on these figures fluttered in the wind.
With no attempt to hide, the murderous aura flooded in from all sides.
“Xuandan Sect’s tender-eared rabbits, today, we’ll send you on your way.”
“Kill!!”
A Blood God Sect cultivator at the ninth level of Qi cultivation took a thunderous step forward, his body filled with a murderous aura so strong that even the night air had a more intense scent of blood.
Lu Su took a deep breath, his face solemn, and the murderous intent emerged.
“My fellow junior brothers of the Xuandan Sect, let’s join together to fight the enemy, and remember not to get separated.”
“Kill!!”
Not only Lu Su, but the other nine teams stationed also quickly formed temporary teams, fighting as a group against the Blood God Sect cultivators who had crossed the walls and entered their area.
Boom!!
The fight, in the moment of collision, turned white-hot..
