Sky War Soul

The entire swamp began to tremble, and the earth shook violently, as if something was trying to crawl out from beneath it.    

A large number of bubbles appeared, and an extremely dangerous aura spread out from within. Accompanied by monstrous waves of water, a huge stone statue that was over 300 meters tall stood up, covering the sky and covering the earth. The stone statue's body was covered in moss, and a sense of the vicissitudes of time assaulted his senses. The bottomless swamp only covered his knees.    

The giant stone statue had a robust build, tall and powerful. Its body was covered in moss, but it was also entwined with a large amount of strange aquatic plants. It didn't know how long it had been in the dark swamp, but its body was emitting a foul stench.    

The arm that was attacking Chu Yun just now, was precisely the left hand of the gigantic stone statue.    

The gigantic stone statue's two eyes were like big red lanterns, releasing a terrifying aura. It stared fixedly at Chu Yun who was in the palm of its hand, and grinned: "Using Qi to control the blade, you are actually a swordsman! "Brat, it seems that I have underestimated you!"    

As the giant stone statue spoke, it was like a thunderclap, rumbling and deafening.    

However, it was clear that what he said was not him saying. Someone was manipulating him from behind.    

Using Qi to control the blade?    

Xu Zhiheng and Tao Huan's minds buzzed, and they instantly lost the ability to think.    

Using Qi to control the blade!    

Even a swordsman might not be proficient in this method!    

Using spirit energy to control a treasured saber and his will to control it, it was like an invisible hand grasping the hilt of a treasured saber, using this technique.    

At such a young age, Chu Yun could have comprehended a blade intent easily but he did not expect that he could even learn such an extremely difficult technique like the Qi Manipulation.    

Just how big of a gap was there between him and her?    

"If you have the guts, show me your true self. You've always been hiding your true self like a turtle hiding its head. Is this going to be interesting?"    

Chu Yun stood in the palm of the gigantic stone statue, and the corner of his mouth hung a cold smile.    

When Chu Yun cut apart the four fingers of the gigantic stone statue, he realized that the stone statue was just a piece of stone without any life. The reason why it was able to fight was because there was an indistinct power that was currently pulling its body and controlling its movements.    

So someone must be behind all of this!    

The strength displayed by this stone statue was far stronger than that of a demon beast at the 1st level of the Genuine Force. If it were not for the engravings on its body, it would be impossible to defeat it in terms of strength.    

Based on this conjecture, the power of the person controlling the stone statue behind him was definitely not lower than that of Genuine Force!    

"Come out? Forget it, Huo Hongchang is extremely sharp, for the moment, I do not want to fight head on with him. "    

The voice paused for a bit, then continued: "Chu Yun, you are an outsider, and are not Sunscorch Sect's disciple. So what I do has nothing to do with you. If you know what's good for you, not only will I not make things difficult for you, I'll even drive away the medicinal field monster and let you pick ten spiritual medicines. But if your mind is impure, then don't blame me for beheading you on the spot! "    

Chu Yun frowned, he was surprised, the person controlling the stone statue must have some tricks up his sleeves, but it did not seem to have anything to do with him.    

"You took the initiative to attack me and then said that there are no grievances and grudges between us, do you really think I'm as easy to coax as a child?"    

Chu Yun was unwilling to let it go.    

"Hahahahaha, I just couldn't help but want to test your strength, and sure enough, you didn't disappoint me." A swordsman, using Qi to control the blade, in all the large and small sects, there is no one more brilliant and talented than you! "    

The voice was very high-pitched, obviously modified to indicate that he did not want to reveal his real voice.    

Xu Zhiheng's face paled, and he could not help but yell: "You must be someone from a sect, outsiders can't even enter this Thunder Swamp. Who exactly are you, and why are you here?    

"Heh, if you want to keep your lives, then you should keep quiet about what happened here. Remember my words, the medicinal field is the deepest distance you can reach. In the medicinal field, you two kids from your sects can pick five stalks at will. However, if you insist on going past the medicinal field and refuse to eat and drink to your heart's content and enter a place that you shouldn't, don't blame me for being merciless! "    

After the stone statue finished its sentence, its body actually dived back down and the entire swamp finally calmed down.    

It was simply unimaginable that the swamp, which could barely pass through the bend of the statue, was actually able to swallow its figure again!    

"Is it someone from your sect?"    

Chu Yun turned his head and looked at Xu Zhiheng.    

Both of them shook their heads with pale faces, Tao Huan said in a low voice: "Every time the Thunder Swamp opens, it requires the permission of the sect, so outsiders will definitely not be able to enter."    

"Yes, when I was questioning the identity of that voice earlier, he admitted it generously. It's definitely not wrong for him to be from the Sunscorch Sect, but as for what his goal is, it's unknown. "    

Xu Zhiheng frowned, he was deep in his thoughts.    

This kind of thing caused the two of them to be extremely confused, but they couldn't figure out why.    

"Then what do you think?"    

Chu Yun laughed as he looked at the two.    

"I …"    

Xu Zhiheng instinctively wanted to speak, but the moment the words reached his mouth, he fell silent. That person definitely had a conspiracy, but no one knew what it was.    

However, from the looks of it, it seemed that he didn't have any deep ill intentions toward them, and even generously promised to pick any five stalks of spirit medicine.    

As the little shrimp of a sect, it was natural to choose to ignore such matters. However, was there really such a thing as a conscience?    

Tao Huan's almond-shaped eyes opened wide, and said with a hint of anger: "I am sure that person is definitely not a good person. Hmph, sneaking around in the Thunder Swamp and plotting, not even daring to show her face! "    

"Alright, Junior Peach, this has nothing to do with us."    

Xu Zhiheng took a deep breath, and in the end, decided to not meddle in other people's business. The value of the five spirit medicines were limitless, and it was simply impossible to obtain them by himself.    

Tao Huan was shocked, she turned her head to look at Chu Yun, wanting to hear his thoughts. However, Chu Yun only smiled slightly and did not express his stance. She could only lower her head and sigh: "Alright."    

"Let's go check out the herb field first. It should be up ahead."    

Xu Zhiheng looked up ahead, his eyes full of hope.    

Back then, when so many powerful senior brothers came to the Thunder Swamp, they were unable to gain anything from the medicinal field. He never thought that he would actually be able to enter into the medicinal field, it was truly inconceivable.    

"Let's go."    

Chu Yun wanted to see whether that person saying he had dispersed the beasts in the medicine fields was real or fake. If it was true, then it meant that the skill he could use in the Thunder Swamp was beyond his expectations!    

Could it be that he was the one who raised all those demon beasts?    

Probably not.    

The three of them and the Great Sage continued to walk forward.    

As the distance to the plain became closer, Chu Yun could feel the Clear River Jade Beads trembling more and more violently in his spatial ring.    

"We're here!"    

Xu Zhiheng suddenly opened his mouth, his eyes stared straight ahead, he could not help but clench his fists, and even his breathing became rapid.    

Chu Yun and Tao Huan took the chance to look up. In front of them was a fertile yellow land with countless of spirit medicines growing on it. There were all kinds of spirit medicines, and the outermost age was relatively low. However, there were quite a few three-hundred-year-old and five-hundred-year-old elixirs inside that were emitting a rich fragrance.    

"So many spiritual medicines!"    

Tao Huan's beautiful eyes widened in disbelief.    

The field in front of him was so vast that one couldn't see the edge of it. Many types of spirit medicines were growing within, sparkling and translucent, and the fragrance was intoxicating.    

"No demonic beasts?"    

Chu Yun was extremely shocked. In the entire medicinal field, he actually did not feel the slightest bit of aura from a demon beast.    

If one were to say that this place was filled with demonic beasts, then there was only one possibility. They were chased away or ordered to leave within a short period of time.    

These two results seemed the same, but in reality, they were different.    

If they were chased away, it would only mean that the man was powerful beyond imagination. If they were ordered to leave, it would be even more terrifying. How terrifying would it be if so many demonic beasts obeyed the man's command?    

At the same time, in Chu Yun's heart, he was even more curious about that person's identity.    

"He told us to choose as we please, didn't he?"    

Xu Zhiheng rubbed his eyes, there were no Spirit Demon Beasts blocking his path, picking any one of them, it was like a pie in the sky.    

"Yes."    

Tao Huan was attracted by a very cute flower and squatted there, unable to let go of it.    

"What's the use of picking these hundred year old elixirs?"    

Chu Yun pressed his hand on her lotus arm, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.    

"Because it looks good, I like it!"    

Tao Huan pouted, and said with some dissatisfaction.    

"…"    

Chu Yun was completely speechless, he really had nothing to say, this little girl was really, just looking at her looks, it didn't seem like it was going to have any effect.    

"That's fine. It's up to you. However, I still recommend that you pick some more spiritual medicines that are of higher value."    

After Chu Yun said this, he quickly walked toward the center of the medicinal field. His gaze swept in all directions, and finally locked onto a thousand year old Intense Flaming Ganoderma.    

He walked forward and raised his hand to grab it, but the thousand year Intense Flaming Ganoderma immediately jumped up to dodge, but Chu Yun was already prepared in his heart. Spirit Qi gushed out and completely sealed the escape route of the Thousand Year Intense Flaming Ganoderma, in the end grabbing it and throwing it into his spatial ring.    

Since he had randomly picked one, he would definitely pick the thousand year elixir!    

On the other side, Xu Zhiheng grabbed onto a stalk of thousand year spirit medicine, and happily kept it.    

Tao Huan, on the other hand, was stubborn and dedicated to choosing beautiful flowers. As long as she was happy, it was fine.    

Chu Yun casually walked a few steps and obtained five or six thousand year old spirit herbs. After that, he looked into the long distance and started to look for the more precious thousand year old spirit medicines.    

"Well, none of them."    

The Great Sage had always been by Chu Yun's side, looking at the ingredients with a face full of disdain.    

Back then, any of the fruits on the Dew Fruit Tree would surpass a thousand year old elixir, so it was normal for it to not have any interest in these.    

"I'm hungry."    

The Great Sage twitched his mouth, then poked Chu Yun's back.    

Helpless, Chu Yun could only take out a dewberry and pass it over: "I only have a few left, at least leave me some!"    

The Great Sage threw the Sweet Fruit into his mouth and chewed it recklessly. The dense spiritual energy exploded within his body, but he digested it quickly and finished it in the blink of an eye.    

"Hah."    

The Great Sage clenched his teeth and burped in satisfaction. The huge amount of spirit energy that spouted from his mouth pushed Chu Yun far away.    

However, just at this moment, an extremely furious roar came from the sky: "Like I said before, the spiritual medicines each of you have picked are limited and must not be exceeded. However, you all actually dare to not take my words seriously. Are you all courting death?    

A roar that contained boundless rage mixed within was like a thunderbolt that crashed down with a loud bang, shaking the entire sky and causing it to sway left and right, almost causing it to lose its balance.    

The spirit energy in the air was washed away and rippled recklessly, making 'chi chi' sounds.    

Chu Yun's expression changed, and immediately looked towards the origin of the voice.
