Chapter Three: Pressing In, A Sword's Chill Light

ell upon a soldier of the iron-blooded army of a great Xia ancient nation.Patches of blood mist exploded!In the blink of an eye, all but one of the mighty warriors of the Daxia ancient nation's iron-b...Li Hu lunged with his sword, but Yun Hao remained calm. He reached out with his right hand and grabbed a long sword from the weapon rack in front of him!

This was clearly just an ordinary iron sword, yet the moment Yun Hao grasped it, his blood surged, and a feeling of familiarity welled up within him.

In his past life, he was the Cloud Soaring Sword Emperor, a peerless genius in swordsmanship. He was the invincible Sword Emperor.

A sword, to him, was simply an extension of his body.

Yun Hao closed his eyes, enjoying the comfortable feeling of holding the sword.

Li Hu's sword was about to strike, seeing him at this crucial moment, he still dared to close his eyes and not move. His gaze was vicious, the disdain in his expression even stronger!

Just as he was about to succeed.

Yun Hao's figure swayed like willow branches in the wind.

Li Huzhi was aiming for a sure kill, but his sword suddenly fell short. He exclaimed in surprise. Seeing that his first strike had failed, he swung his long sword again, unleashing all his power, intending to defeat Yun Hao.

This sword strike is cunning and ruthless. Although he doesn't dare to kill Yun Hao, if it hits, Yun Hao won't die but will definitely be seriously injured!

Yun Hao faced Li Hu's full-force attack with a calm expression. This seemingly fierce move, he could even detect the flaws in this sword strike without opening his eyes, just by sensing the airflow of the sword cutting through the air.

Yun Hao's sword in his hand, with a light and graceful sweep, rose up. This sword seemed to come naturally, like a gazelle's horns, leaving no trace.

"Clang!"

A sudden surge of force erupted, directly causing numbness in Li Hu's palm. His long sword flew from his grasp, and Li Hu's body flew backward like a kite with its string cut.

"Bang!"

Li Hu, flying backward, crashed heavily into a large tree in the courtyard.

"Wow!"

A large mouthful of fresh blood gushed from his mouth.

Don't wait for him to land.

Suddenly, a cold light flashed and caught up swiftly. A flying iron sword shot forward, piercing his shoulder directly and nailing his body to the tree.

Li Hu's heart pounded with fear, his face pale with terror.

He is a warrior of the third level of Qi Induction. Although not powerful, facing those who cannot cultivate, he could easily defeat ten with no pressure at all!

Yunhao, when did you become so strong

Li Hu was in great pain, his face contorted as he said: "Yun Hao, I am a member of the master's household, you dare to treat me like this"

"Do you even have the right to call yourself a human You're nothing but a dog subservient to people."

So don't say I hurt you, killed you, and what then

Yun Hao once again picked up an iron sword from the weapon rack that shimmered with a cold light, and spoke in a calm voice.

Li Hu looked at the menacing iron sword, beads of sweat trickling down his neck. His face was pale with fear as he quickly clamped his mouth shut.

"Whoosh!"

The next moment, the iron sword in Yun Hao's hand turned into a cold light and slashed down, severing one of his ears.

Li Hu let out another horrifying shriek, like a pig being slaughtered!

Yún Hào calmly and peacefully left the martial arts arena, without looking back, he said: "You dog servant, I didn't kill you today not because your master is Yún Fēng, nor because I'm merciful."

It's just that having you die at the Crazy Sword Martial Arts Hall would worry my old man.

Cherish the life you've been given back!

Feeling agitated after being bothered by a fly, Yun Hao decided to go straight to the pharmacy of Kuangjian Martial Arts Hall. He intended to find some suitable pills for his own cultivation.

In his past life, his swordsmanship was unrivaled, and his alchemy skills were unparalleled in the world!

If it weren't for Jian and Dan Erxiu, Yun Hao would not have become an Emperor!

Yun Hao arrived at the door of the apothecary and said to the manager, "Uncle Liu, I'm going in to get some things."

Liu Qing, whose full name is Liu Qing, is a close confidant who has followed Yun Tiankuo for many years.

Unexpectedly, Liu Qing stepped forward and blocked Yun Hao, saying with anguish: "Young master, the master of the hall has already been selling land and houses to repay his debts. The medicinal herbs and pills in the pharmacy were not plentiful to begin with. If you continue to act recklessly like before, the Crazy Sword Martial Arts Hall will truly be finished!"

"Uncle Liu, I wouldn't make things up. Please rest assured." Yunhao had a headache and could only explain.

Liu Qing shook her head and refused: "Unless the owner agrees, I can't let you in."

Yun Hao: "..."

Just as he was about to go back and ask his father for a loan, a peaceful voice rang out.

"Uncle Liu, let him come in."

Yun Hao turned around and saw that the one who spoke was Ling Fei. After the rain, he nodded slightly as a greeting.

Ling Feiyu sighed and reminded, "You have injuries. Go to the pill room and get some pills that nourish qi and blood. As for the others...don't take them randomly."

"Alright." Yunhao readily agreed.

Liu Qing saw Ling Feiyu speaking, so he stepped aside. Although Yun Hao was the young master of Kuangjian Martial Arts Hall, Ling Feiyu held considerable influence within the hall because she had always been in charge of its affairs.

As for Yun Hao

The prodigal son, too idle to be of use!

"Really… so poor!"

Yun Hao walked around the apothecary, a scattering of pills haphazardly arranged on shelves.

The ranks of medicinal pills, martial arts techniques, and weapons are all the same, divided into four levels: heaven, earth, Xuan, and Huang. Each level is further divided into lower grade, middle grade, upper grade, and top grade.

In the pharmacy of Kuangjian Martial Arts Hall, there wasn't even a single Huangjie superior grade pill in stock.

Below grade yellow occupies 80%, while middle grade yellow only accounts for 20%.

The total number is pitiful!

As I recall, Kuangjian Martial Arts Academy was doing well and shouldn't be in this state.

Yun Hao suddenly remembered the promissory notes he had signed. He estimated that his father had taken a large amount of pills to sell for silver to repay the debts.

A moment later.

Yun Hao held two bottles of pills in his hand.

One bottle is of medium grade yellow, named "Solidity Dan", and the other is of lower grade yellow, named "Nourishing Qi Dan".

It's better than nothing.

It seems I'll have to figure out alchemy on my own then.

Yunhao thought this way.

The apothecary was very quiet. Yun Hao wasn't in a hurry to leave; he directly found a cushion and sat down, then swallowed the Yìqì Dān and Gùshēn Dān all at once.

One bottle of pills, a total of ten.

Yun Hao swallowed twenty pills at once.

If there were any outsiders here, they would surely be astonished, their eyes wide with amazement.

This is no longer messing around, this is looking for death!

Even a martial artist of the Hǎizhì realm wouldn't dare to act like this.

The energy of the medicinal pill is too potent, unable to be refined, and it's very easy to explode and die.

As the elixir entered his abdomen, Yun Hao immediately activated the Tai Chu Creation Technique. The elixir's energy swiftly merged into his blood, flesh, and bones at an astonishing pace.

The physical body strengthened at a visible rate. Correspondingly, the speed at which vitality was born from the physical body increased, and it became purer as well.

Half an hour has passed.

The energy from the two pills swallowed has been depleted.

The initial stage of the treasure body, unable to ascend to the intermediate stage of the treasure body. This was within Yun Hao's expectations, as there was simply not enough energy.

In the apothecary, there were still some medicinal pills, but these pills either healed injuries or were used to increase one's spiritual energy for cultivation. They were not suitable for Yun Hao.

Just as Yun Hao was about to leave the pharmacy,

A cacophony of noise, a jumble of sounds, reached his ears.

The outside of the apothecary.

A young man in embroidered robes, with jade pendants at his waist and a folding fan in his hand, exuded an air of arrogance between his brows. He led a group of people, swaggering and berating them arrogantly.

“Liu Qing, you are nothing but a watchdog! You dare to block Feng Shao's way I think you're tired of living!”

"Aren't you going to scram Young Feng is about to take some pills, if you don't know when to stop, believe me, I'll kill you!"

Don't think that Yuntian Kuo can still support you, Humph, he's already barely keeping himself afloat. The main family has issued an order, Feng Shao's father is about to take over the Crazy Sword Martial Arts Hall!

Liu Qing stood at the entrance of the pharmacy, insisting, “I am guarding the pharmacy by the headmaster's order. No one can enter without his command, not even those from the Yun family.”ung demon asked with a puzzled tone.These four people are not simple.Young Demon Race: “I see them… they don’t seem strong at all… Father Emperor, you possess power almost reaching that of a Peak Demo...
