Chapter 174: Mist Island (II)

Silence descended on the battlefield.

“Where did this second stage warrior come from?!”

Everyone’s expressions froze, especially the two old men from the Yinfeng Sect. The wrinkles on their faces were almost twisted into a knot.

“Big shot, what’s the point of bullying the weak in the periphery instead of going to the center of Mist Island?”

The two elders roared in their hearts.

The transformation of internal force was a sign of the second stage of the warrior realm. Those in the disciple realm might not know it, but how could the two elders from the Yinfeng Sect not know it?

Although there was only a difference of one realm between the two of them, it would not take much effort for the masked man to wipe out their entire sect.

A young man from the Hao clan couldn’t help but ask the middle-aged woman in a low voice, “Third Aunt, we…”

As soon as he started speaking, the middle-aged woman glared at him, and the young man did not dare to continue.

Suddenly, the tense atmosphere around the pool was broken by the willow tree.

“Clang!”

A green willow tree core automatically popped out of the tree and fell a few meters away from the willow tree.

Without the willow tree core, the aura of the entire tree became visibly weaker. More than half of the willow branches instantly turned yellow, and more than 10 of them were broken by the wind.

Chen Yiming dispersed his huge sword and moved next to the willow tree core in a flash.

Glancing at the willow tree that seemed to have lost most of its energy, he picked up the green core of the willow tree.

The core of the willow tree was the fruit of the mutant plant. The essence of the willow tree accumulated day after day was stored in it. It was just the size of a palm, and it felt warm to the touch and was constantly emitting a fluorescent light.

Not far from the pool,

as the willow tree took the initiative to surrender its core, and Chen Yiming took the initiative to disperse his huge sword,

the Yinfeng Sect heaved a sigh of relief, and the Hao clan let go of their worries.

Such an outcome was completely acceptable to them. As long as they stayed at their spots, they believed that this big shot would leave soon.

“Crack!”

Chen Yiming tore the willow tree core into pieces with his teeth and swallowed it all.

The Level-1 Undying Body talent gave his body a comprehensive enhancement, and the willow tree core was digested and absorbed by his body in the blink of an eye.

In his spiritual world, the figure in his mind suddenly received a trace of spiritual light and automatically turned into the concept diagram of a meteorite.

Countless lines appeared out of thin air, and the fourth concept diagram of the meteorite gradually appeared. In the end, the progress stopped at about a third of the diagram.

“The concept diagram of the meteorite belongs to the earth attribute. The huge roots of the willow tree are rooted in the soil, so its essence contains the water and earth attributes.

If I could eat a large amount of the willow tree cores, I might be able to complete the missing part of the concept diagram without waiting for my Level-3 swordsmanship talent.

Having the complete concept diagrams of the meteorite and the complete black fog concept diagrams will also reduce the difficulty of me investigating the secret of fusing internal forces.” Chen Yiming’s eyes lit up.

Now, he had no choice but to plan ahead. His swordsmanship talent mainly improved his understanding of the sword.

If no one told him the specific method to fuse his internal forces, it would be useless even if he secretly learned the complete cultivation techniques of the 12 inner courts of the Myriad Phenomena Sect.

Finding all 12 inner court cultivation techniques was equivalent to Chen Yiming owning a mountain of treasure. However, he still had to find the key to enter the mountain himself.

However, he would already be progressing extremely quickly if he was promoted to a true disciple. It was impossible for him to be appointed as a court head within a short time of joining the Myriad Phenomena Sect without making any significant contributions.

Without reaching the level of a court head, he would not be able to come into contact with the sect master at all.

This way, there were only two ways. One was to spend time to climb to the top of the Myriad Phenomena Sect, step by step. The other was to rely on himself to figure it out.

Spending time to climb the ranks was definitely the last resort. With the martial arts talent system, his talent would definitely not be a problem. The key to figuring it out was the accumulation of knowledge.

In other words, he had to master as many complete concept diagrams as possible. Then, with the powerful recovery ability of the figure in his mind, he could continuously fuse the different types of internal forces and slowly unearth the secrets behind their fusion.

“This isn’t the first or second time you’ve participated in the competition for the willow tree cores. Each of you must have a map of the distribution of the willow trees,” Chen Yiming said as he stared at the people from the Yinfeng Sect and the Hao clan with a burning gaze.

As soon as he finished speaking,

the two old men and the two women in charge of the Hao clan trembled.

For those at the second stage of the warrior realm, exploring Mist Island was much easier than for ordinary warriors like them. Only the big shots who came to Mist Island for the first time needed something like a map of the distribution of the willow trees.

They were really unlucky. If they followed the masked man, they might have to return empty-handed. They would have to wait another three years for the willow tree cores, if not the huge sword that had dissipated would probably appear above their heads again.

“No map?”

Chen Yiming narrowed his eyes and opened his palm slightly, as if he was about to create the huge sword again.

The two old men in charge of the Yinfeng Sect had scolded him earlier. As one of the strong, he could not be easily offended, so it was not unfair for him to demand the map as compensation.

“How could that be? But I have the map in my head,” the woman from the Hao clan quickly explained.

At this moment, Chen Yiming was about 100 meters away from the two elders from the Yinfeng Sect.

“Let’s split up.”

The two old men from the Yin Wind Sect looked at each other and ordered their disciples while the masked man was distracted by the woman from the Hao clan.

At the same time, the two of them threw out three smoke bombs with each hand, making a total of 12 smoke bombs.

“Bang, bang, bang…”

Continuous explosions rang out, followed by a large amount of black smoke that spread out and enveloped a radius of several hundred meters.

The two old men from the Yinfeng Sect waited for the black smoke to completely block his line of sight. They did not escape in the direction away from the island because the sea was too wide for them to escape that way.

They exerted strength under their feet, leaving behind a huge pit as they fled into the depths of the island.

At this moment, Mist Island was completely engulfed in the battles between the humans. As long as they were not caught up in any of it, they believed that it would be very difficult for the masked man to catch up to them.

“A faction like the Yinfeng Sect that has done all sorts of bad things in the wilderness is indeed impossible to work with.” Chen Yiming shook his head.

The two elders from the Yinfeng Sect would rather risk their lives to escape than believe that Chen Yiming was a good person who would keep his promise.

At the same time, under the cover of the black smoke, a huge net formed by the black fog’s internal force spread out with Chen Yiming as the center.

Although the Level-1 Undying Body talent was a talent that could increase the overall strength of one’s body, there were still differences in the aspects of recuperation, strength, and so on.

The toughness attribute was one of the areas it was particularly advantageous for. This allowed the connection between each unit of black fog internal force to become like a thin thread, and the distance between them was much further than normal.

The nine complete concept diagrams of the black fog allowed Chen Yiming to create a huge net with a diameter of nearly a kilometer.

The two old men from the Yinfeng Sect and all their disciples were still unable to escape the range of the huge net even though they had split up and fled at the same time.

“Crack…”

He would first kill the two elders from the Yinfeng Sect, then kill their disciples.

In a few breaths, these people were all killed before they could escape the range of the huge net.

At this moment, the thick black smoke had blocked the vision of everyone from the Hao clan. They could only hear the screams in the distance. No one knew how Chen Yiming had killed everyone from the Yinfeng Sect.

This was also something Chen Yiming had done on purpose. If the two old men from the Yinfeng Sect hadn’t used their special smoke bombs, he wouldn’t have revealed the transformation of his black fog internal force in front of everyone.

Instead, he would have used his strength-based internal force to crush his opponent. The strength-based internal force could not compare to the black fog internal force for the purpose of assassination.

After all, most of the internal forces with the smoke attribute could be used for concealment. It would be very difficult for the sect masters of the Kunshan Sect and the Blue Cloud Sword Sect, who had a grudge against Chen Yiming, to narrow the scope to the Mantis Snake Court of the Myriad Phenomena Sect.

However, the transformation of this internal force was too obvious. If he used it as a masked man, as long as there was one person who saw it and leaked the true form out, there would be a lot of trouble.
