The days became peaceful again, and in the blink of an eye, another half month passed by.
On Zhengxuanhou Mountain, a secluded mountaintop, the sky was gloomy and dark, with dense clouds. From time to time there were loud thunders, and dazzling lightning flashed across the sky, making the surrounding sky shine brightly.
A young man with a resolute face was practicing on the top of the mountain. He moved like a cunning rabbit and was as powerful as a tiger. He seemed to have stepped on floating clouds under his feet, sliding several feet away in an instant. However, he suddenly turned back and forth during his rapid movement, which seemed extremely extreme.
Of freedom and agility.
However, what is more noteworthy are his hands. Following a series of dizzying and complex movements, the young man's hands interlocked and suddenly formed a seal in front of him.
As soon as the seal was formed, a bright color appeared, and there seemed to be a faint electric light emitting from the young man's hand, which made it difficult for anyone to look directly at it, and a heart-stopping aura erupted.
The young man did not stop at all, but continued to superimpose seals. His hands danced and created afterimages, which were clearly visible even in the dark.
As the power of the seal increased steadily, the boy's arms could not help but tremble slightly, and his face was covered with sweat, showing a look of exertion.
Boom!
Suddenly, a huge thunder struck from the dark clouds, lighting up most of the sky in an instant. The deafening sound almost made all living beings tremble.
That is the power of heaven and earth. Compared with it, human power is as small as an ant.
As the thunder flashed, the seal in the young man's hand also became extremely bright, as if he was holding a transparent and shining electric ball. It looked extremely powerful, and it complemented the thunder and seemed to be integrated seamlessly.
The young man raised his arms, and the seal was instantly released, hitting a hard boulder half a man's height next to him.
boom!
The hard boulder immediately fell apart and turned into countless fine pieces of stone that flew out, and green smoke rose up, as if it was burned by the high temperature of the flames.
Wow! The heavy rain came down, and the mountains were suddenly shrouded in a hazy haze of rain and fog.
Looking at the boulder that he had smashed into pieces, the young man had a look of surprise on his face.
It seems that practicing the Thunder Seal Technique among the Thunderbolts is indeed more effective with half the effort. I just understood a little bit of the meaning of Thunderbolt. It is so powerful in a small test. This is much more powerful than the acquired four levels. I am afraid it is also the acquired fifth level.
It may not be comparable, but I don't know if I can fight with the sixth level of Hou Tian, the young man thought with pride.
This young man is naturally Xia Chen.
In the past half month, Xia Chen has been practicing the Thunder Seal assiduously. However, even though he was guided by the strange feeling of the cornucopia during his daily practice, he always felt that something was missing and the progress was not very obvious.
With an idea, Xia Chen ran to Zhengxuan Back Mountain and waited for a thunderstorm before practicing. The effect was indeed very good. Moreover, at the top of the mountain, he felt the power of thunder at close range. Xia Chen also became familiar with the subtleties of the thunder seal.
Have a deeper understanding.
His cultivation is still at the peak of the acquired fourth level, and has not broken through to the acquired fifth level. This is not because Xia Chen does not want to break through, but because he is suppressing his own cultivation. Xia Chen wants to make his skills more pure and to comprehend more.
Go deeper and accumulate more knowledge, so that it will be easier to practice after a breakthrough.
The deeper and more stable the foundation is, the stronger the future will be.
The raindrops pitter-pattered on Xia Chen's body and face, immediately turning into steaming mist and rising. Xia Chen took out a handful of Vitality Pills from the storage space and swallowed them without looking at them, replenishing the energy consumed in his previous practice.
.
Although the Vitality Pill is the most basic elixir, it is quite rare for disciples below the fifth level of acquired life. Only Xia Chen dares to use the Vitality Pill as a meal.
"Senior Tang left me this set of magical powers. I only understood a trace of one of the thunder seals, and yet I have such power. If I complete this set of magical powers, how powerful will it be? It's really amazing.
Looking forward to it." Xia Chen thought to himself as he walked down the mountain.
He did not know the name of the mysterious woman, but the jade pendant was engraved with the character Tang, so he assumed that the mysterious woman had the surname Tang.
After a while, the rain stopped suddenly. The rain came and went away just as quickly.
Xia Chen passed by the back mountain cave where alchemy was made, couldn't help but stopped and walked in.
Although he knew that the mysterious woman had left long ago, Xia Chen still couldn't help but stop every time he passed by. If the mysterious woman hadn't taught him how to make alchemy and taught him magical powers, he might not be able to break through to the fourth level of acquired nature now.
And deep down in his heart, Xia Chen always had an indescribable feeling. For the mysterious woman, he didn't just regard her as a senior's respect and preaching gratitude, he seemed to have other emotions as well.
The Tang Dynasty...Xia Chen took the jade pendant given to him by the mysterious woman and pondered slightly. His knowledge of other worlds only stayed in the Daliang Kingdom. As for what was outside the Daliang Kingdom, he still knew nothing about it.
Roar!
Suddenly, a low roar came from outside the cave. Although it was suppressed very low, it could not conceal the violence in the voice.
Xia Chen was startled and looked outside the cave, only to see eight green eyes staring at him with bloodthirsty gazes.
Behind the bloodthirsty eyes, there are four huge bodies that are nearly ten feet tall, standing upright like bears, with huge furry heads, ferocious faces, and sharp teeth protruding out like ivory in the bloody mouth.
Under the gloomy sky, there was a heart-stopping cold light flashing.
Monster! Cleft-Tooth Bear! Xia Chen was shocked!
As a practitioner, Xia Chen has already known that there are all kinds of monsters in this world. This crack-toothed bear is cruel by nature and bloodthirsty. It is one of the most common monsters!
It's just that monsters usually live in uninhabited mountains or forests, and rarely appear in densely populated places.
Although the back mountain is remote, it is very close to the Zhengxuan sect. How could monsters appear? What's more, I have been to the back mountain to practice more than once, and I have never found any traces of monsters. Where did these crack-tooth bears come from?
Coming?
Xia Chen's heart was pounding, and he was on full alert, not daring to move. Most of the monsters were extremely powerful. Even the most ordinary adult monsters were as powerful as a monk in the magical realm. Any cultivator who encountered them would die if they encountered them.
However, these four Crack-Tooth Bears did not have the same strong sense of oppression as the supernatural monks, and they were much smaller in size. They should be minor Crack-tooth Bears, but even if they were minors, they were not something Xia Chen could afford to offend.
The four crack-toothed bears looked at Xia Chen coldly and let out low roars from time to time, but did not rush into the cave.
Suddenly, one of the largest crack-toothed bears stretched out its sharp claws and waved towards Xia Chen.
Xia Chen was stunned. Although the monster beast couldn't speak, it was almost close to humans in terms of intelligence. Judging from the meaning of this crack-tooth bear, it seemed that he was summoning himself out?
Why did he summon himself out? Xia Chen felt nervous. He wouldn't treat himself to a meal or drink anyway, so he wouldn't dare to move.
Seeing that Xia Chen didn't move, the Crack-Tooth Bear's green eyes turned cold, and he waved his paw at Xia Chen. The other three Crack-tooth Bears roared at the same time and took a few steps closer to the cave entrance, which was very threatening.
It seemed that if Xia Chen didn't come out, these four crack-tooth bears would force their way into the cave.
Xia Chen's expression changed, and he had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk out of the cave cautiously. It was not his style to sit back and wait for death, but the cave was small inside, and if the Cracktooth Bear broke in, there would be no room for maneuver.
As soon as he walked out, four Cracktooth Bears formed their positions in front, back, left, and right like lightning, surrounding him in the middle.
Xia Chen put his hands on his abdomen, ready to risk his life at any time. He didn't know what level of cultivation these crack-toothed bears were equivalent to, but even if they died, Xia Chen would drag these beasts with him to die together.
Surprisingly, the four crack-tooth bears did not pounce on him, but just stared at him closely. The leader of the crack-tooth bears glanced at Xia Chen coldly, suddenly pointed with his paw, and then tilted his head,
He turned his huge body and motioned for Xia Chen to follow it.
Xia Chen was stunned, and the menacing roars of two Cleft-Tooth Bears came immediately behind him, asking him to follow the leader of the Crack-Tooth Bears.
Xia Chen felt a chill in his heart. The direction that the leader of the Crack-toothed Bear was pointing was the depths of the back mountain, which was completely in the opposite direction from the Zhengxuan Sect.
Although I don't know what these crack-toothed bears want to do, but just by looking at the ferocious eyes, I know that something is not going to be good. If I follow these monster beasts, I might as well give it a try now.
Xia Chen turned around and pretended to follow the leader of the Crack-Tooth Bear for a few steps, secretly gathering strength. Suddenly, he shot out to the right, then turned back and ran towards the Zhengxuan Sect with all his strength.
.
The furious roars of the Cracktooth Bears suddenly came from behind.
A gust of fishy wind that was almost nauseating rushed from behind Xia Chen in an instant. As the violent sound passed by, Xia Chen only saw a flash of cold light from the corner of his eyes, and the huge claw of a cracked-tooth bear, right in front of him.
He grabbed at him with unparalleled speed.
Xia Chen shouted loudly, and instantly completed a series of complex movements with his hands. The true energy from his whole body surged out, and a shining seal was condensed behind him.
Thunder Seal!
Bang! The Thunder Seal and the giant claw of the Cracktooth Bear collided hard, creating a muffled thunder-like sound.
The thunder seal shattered instantly, but the terrifying giant claw was also bounced back by the power of the thunder seal.
Xia Chen only felt an overwhelming force coming from him, his vision went black, and poof! He spurted out a mouthful of blood, and his body flew forward uncontrollably.
The power of this cracked-tooth bear is no less than the acquired seventh level! If Xia Chen hadn't been practicing the Thunder Seal for half a month and his technique was much more powerful than before, he would have been seriously injured and fell to the ground in this one blow.
Xia Chen directly stuffed a handful of vitality pills into his mouth in the air, and stumbled to the ground. With all his strength to balance, he didn't fall down. His footsteps didn't even stop, and he ran faster towards the Zhengxuan Sect.
As long as you run to the edge of the sect's territory, there is hope for survival.
But immediately, Xia Chen's heart sank.
Two huge upright bodies were like black lightning, surpassing Xia Chen from both sides at an incredible speed, and both blocked the front. The ferocious eyes of the two crack-tooth bears flashed, and their giant claws waved, slashing at Xia Chen.
