Chapter 229: Chapter 228: Original Sword Technique (Please Subscribe) "Master, Vice Gang Leader Bai just visited and asked me to deliver something to you," At that moment, a steward-like person hurried over, wooden box in hand, and said. "What is it?" Jiangg Tao’s tone pretended to be calm, yet he quickly grabbed the wooden box. Taking a deep breath, he carefully opened the wooden box. Inside, he saw a book and several coarse pieces of animal hide. His pupils narrowed slightly, and Jiangg Tao’s face revealed a faint smile as he instructed, "Vice Gang Leader Bai will be out for a while recently. You must send people to patrol near his house." "From now on, make it routine. Morning, noon, evening, and night, there must be someone to prevent any disturbances from bothering the Vice Gang Leader’s family." "Yes!" The steward was puzzled, but quickly responded and retreated. ... "A copy of ’Circulation Qi Technique’ from Xu Pengxing, five conversion talismans for the Thousand Mountains Ice Blade Skill, and five more conversion talismans for the Thunderfall Skill should be enough to make the Gang Leader care about my family," Bai Ziyue kept a calm face but had his plan. He knew that even someone like Gang Leader Jiangg Tao, whose Martial Arts cultivation reached the level of a first-class expert, had a deep-seated obsession with Immortal Techniques. *Even if he couldn’t cultivate, he would hope his future lineage could walk this Great Dao.* Both for public and private reasons, for benefits and drawbacks, he would naturally protect the Bai Family wholeheartedly, given his status. Which was not difficult for him. ... Blackrock Mountain, also known as Snake Mountain, was one of the few perilous places in hundreds of miles, so dangerous that even first-class experts cloaked in True Qi dared not set foot there casually. A single mistake could end with them buried in a snake’s belly. Three days later, a handsome young boy appeared at the foot of Blackrock Mountain, accompanied by a half-human-height dog with jet-black fur, whose face and body were bulging with lumps and appeared very disheveled and dejected. The young boy was none other than Bai Ziyue. The dog by his side was the dog he had adopted. Thanks to Bai Ziyue’s daily feeding of Blood Coagulation Pills, the dog had grown rapidly and was now an intermediate exotic beast. Not only had its size increased significantly, surpassing an ordinary dog, but its power and speed were also extremely impressive, having developed an initial combat strength not weaker than an ordinary Inner Cultivation Martial Artist. As such, to distinguish it, Bai Ziyue named the dog for the first time. Little Black Dog! Little Black Dog was very dissatisfied with this name, throwing tantrums several times during the journey, deliberately causing trouble thrice. Once, to vent its frustration, it dashed straight into a nest of large black bees. At this point, Little Black Dog deliberately turned its head, tilted its head, squinted at Bai Ziyue, cracked a smile with its mouth, and forcefully struck out. Whack! The large black bee’s nest was directly sent flying. Then, countless black bees, ranging from thumb-sized to the size of a child’s fist, buzzed and flew all over the sky. Little Black Dog suffered for its actions, yelping while fleeing, getting covered in bumps from the stings. If not for Bai Ziyue’s intervention, it would have likely met its end there. Following this, it finally behaved. In exchange, Bai Ziyue’s Soul Energy increased significantly. The large black bees, being substantial in size, were no ordinary creatures and each granted Bai Ziyue a point of Soul Energy, with the larger ones offering five points. Although small in amount, the sheer number allowed his Soul Energy to surge over ten thousand. "According to the Golden Book’s guidance, the Immortal Martial Treasure Vault should be somewhere in Blackrock Mountain. But still, there are far too many poisonous snakes here," Bai Ziyue stood at the foot of the mountain, looking around. Almost every few steps, one or two poisonous snakes could be seen. Blackrock Mountain rose three hundred feet high, densely packed with countless poisonous snakes. Furthermore, he evidently sensed that as the mountain ascended, the snakes’ length and aura grew increasingly potent. On the mountainside alone, various snakes reached exotic beast status, indicating that higher up, there must be Snake Demons formed... *Even though Bai Ziyue was confident in his abilities, he couldn’t help but feel apprehensive.* "There should be something peculiar within Blackrock Mountain. A cold, chill aura permeates faintly. This aura greatly benefits these snakes; otherwise, they wouldn’t linger here year-round." Bai Ziyue easily discerned some oddities with the spiritual eye technique, his face turning a bit solemn. But soon, his heart filled with excitement, and his face brimmed with confidence. "However, for me, this might not be a bad thing. I can use this opportunity to greatly increase my Soul Energy." With determination, Bai Ziyue no longer hesitated and stepped forward. As he moved, spirit light surged around him, quickly forming a transparent shield enveloping him entirely. Magic, the spirit light shield! Facing snakes capable of spraying venom, he naturally had to be cautious. Little Black Dog, though suffering from swollen stings from the black bees, followed bravely as usual. Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! He had just taken a few steps when toxic snakes, like lightning, suddenly shot toward Bai Ziyue. Some even sprayed venom, which landed on the spirit light shield, making a sizzling, corrosive sound. "Hmph!" Bai Ziyue snorted coldly. Facing the venom attack, he ignored it, but the long knife in his hand swiftly swept out. Slash! Slash! Slash! Each snake head was severed by him and fell to the ground. The little black dog’s movements were extremely agile, easily avoiding each jet of venom. Its paws swiftly struck out, turning the heads of each toxic snake into a mess of flesh... Glancing over and wanting to prevent any mishaps, Bai Ziyue still reached out and gently tapped, casting a spirit light shield spell on the little black dog. Seeing this, the little black dog became even more excited, as if it wanted to vent all the resentment from being stung by the big black bee on these toxic snakes. It joyfully charged up the mountain, showing no fear even when surrounded by a horde of toxic snakes. Its paws continuously thrashed out, easily flattening the heads of the snakes. The toxic snakes here were evidently highly aggressive. As long as Bai Ziyue stepped into a certain range, snakes would be provoked, shooting out directly to attack him. With these snakes being provoked, more and more snakes came close. Gradually, they started to form a sizable group. Soul Energy +11, +14, +12, +15... Although each snake added little, Bai Ziyue was full of vigor. When he saw more and more snakes gathering around him, he flipped his hand, activating a spirit talisman. Whoosh~! A sea of fire surged out, in the blink of an eye burning hundreds of toxic snakes into nothingness. This spirit talisman wasn’t one he had crafted, but one obtained from the talisman maker, Xu Pengxing. Back at the Immortal Technique Gathering, Xu Pengxing had evidently prepared many spirit talismans for trade. It was just that because Bai Ziyue turned out to be an unexpected variable, Xu Pengxing gained nothing from it. Later, since Xu Pengxing attacked Bai Ziyue and was killed in return, naturally, those many spirit talismans fell into Bai Ziyue’s hands. For powerful beings, these spirit talismans naturally were not very effective. But due to the nature of these toxic snakes, although they posed a considerable threat, their life force was not strong. They couldn’t withstand the attack of this spirit fire. In an instant, Bai Ziyue’s soul energy surged considerably. "Thirty-five thousand soul energy now." Bai Ziyue felt a bit excited, but the long knife in his hand was as swift as lightning. He didn’t intentionally cast magic to slaughter the toxic snakes on a large scale. Firstly, although these snakes were many, they were somewhat scattered, making it not worth the effort. Secondly, he wanted to take this opportunity to train his martial arts. A month of secluded cultivation had yielded great results. Even though his realm hadn’t advanced, the application and understanding of martial arts moves had reached a considerable degree of profundity. However, having never truly sparred with anyone, many of his theories and applications remained unverified. He couldn’t adequately judge whether they were practical or correct. Precisely, these countless, densely packed snakes could verify his ideas. Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Bai Ziyue didn’t utilize inner strength, nor did he deliberately employ any particular moves. Each slash of his knife was like the horns of an antelope or scattered stars, swiftly flashing by. With each strike, the venomous snakes were split in two, falling to the ground. The snakes’ life force was extremely strong. Initially, when Bai Ziyue severed the snakes, although he rendered them unable to fight, they were not truly slain. As a result, Bai Ziyue’s soul energy failed to increase. To address this, he began controlling power to impact the snakes. Each slash, even though it quickly cut through and split the snakes in half, contained a vibrating force that shattered their heads, thoroughly killing them. Bai Ziyue continuously adjusted, controlling the vibration frequency of the knife to achieve the quickest efficiency in killing the snakes with minimal force. Once he became skilled, he discovered that if two snakes were hit in a single slash, he could only use that vibration force to kill one of them. So he began pondering how to eliminate both snakes at once. Constantly adjusting the shift in his knife’s strength, he became absorbed in it, his actions seamlessly fluid. Soon, he devised a method. The long knife slashed out, striking two snakes at once, and before the light of the knife bisected them, a force surged along the blade, into their heads, shaking them dead. Then Bai Ziyue sought even more. One slash for three snakes, one slash for four snakes, one slash for five snakes... Bai Ziyue seemed tireless. Amid the flickering light of the knife, countless snake corpses littered the ground. "Awooo..." Suddenly, a pitiful dog’s howl resounded. Bai Ziyue finally awakened from his immersed state, a hint of delight appearing in his eyes. "A self-created sword technique, this can completely be considered a sword technique of my own creation." He thought briefly, and his heart couldn’t help but feel utterly delighted.
