Swallowing the Stars: Realm of Control

Chapter 73 A Stunning Strike

Its dark blue body is very thin, and it does resemble a mantis, only a large one.

Its two arms are distinct; they are two ice-blue blades.

"Be careful." Tie Liu said seriously. "Xingchen, it's up to us now. If they come again, I'll intervene."

however.

He had barely finished speaking when another afterimage struck.

This time, Tie Liu anticipated the attack and instantly locked onto the direction from which it was charging. The soft knife in his hand appeared, hardened, and he met the attack head-on.

At that moment, another guy rushed up from another direction.

Luo Feng saw it clearly, and with a swift slash, he completely stopped the guy.

"You two, be careful," Luo Feng warned.

Mu Ye's strength is quite good now. Although there is a gap between him and Mu Ye, he is still at the level of the Bone Forging Realm. Even if the realm is not high enough, he can still fight against opponents of higher levels.

Luo Feng met the giant ice blade head-on with his own blade. As they collided, he could feel the immense force transmitted between them.

Sparks flew as the knives clashed.

"The body of this large ice blade is actually a very good material for refining weapons."

"And this body should contain a lot of Qi."

What Luo Feng saw was not his opponent, but his prey.

The two sides clashed several times quickly, creating a strong wind.

The giant ice blade seemed to have realized that Luo Feng was no pushover. It wanted to break through and target the others, but it was already entangled with Luo Feng. How could it possibly escape?

Luo Feng's swordsmanship doesn't require any rules or principles; it's purely a matter of skill. Like a leech, it stuck to this big ice blade beast.

Those fleeting blades, those flashy sword techniques, each strike looked like five or six strikes falling, with streaks of light flashing by, making it impossible to tell which one was real, driving the giant ice blade beast into a steady retreat.

Not far away, Tie Liu was fighting another giant ice blade beast. Although he couldn't see Luo Feng's location, the noise made him very alarmed. The two were colliding very frequently, and the strong winds were impacting the surrounding mist, causing a great upheaval. It wasn't a simple tug-of-war where dodging was the main strategy.

call!

Tie Liu's knife whistled through the air, but he was indeed slower. The double blades of the Ice Blade were too agile, passing right through his head and cutting off his hair.

He created several meters of distance, adjusted his position, and then charged forward again.

"Brother Xingchen, may we hunt them?" Tie Liu shouted.

"snort!"

Luo Feng snorted coldly, and then his voice stopped abruptly. There was a sound of something falling heavily to the ground.

"Mine seems a bit weak, I've killed it." Luo Feng's voice came, and then he put the corpse directly into the spatial bottle.

Following the sounds of fighting, Luo Feng quickly arrived at the area where Tie Liu was. Looking at the disheveled Tie Liu, he smiled and said, "Brother Tie Liu, it seems your strength is indeed lacking. Leave it to me."

Luo Feng charged forward.

Tie Liu's eyes lit up: "I'll assist you, you'll be my master."

He had also practiced swordsmanship for decades, and immediately changed his sword techniques, mainly assisting Luo Feng from the side. Whenever the Ice Blade Ferocious tried to break through a certain position, he would knock it back.

The main problem was that the knife he was carrying was a soft knife and not heavy enough, so it wasn't very effective against someone whose body was hard.

Although the knife in Luo Feng's hand was not a heavy knife, when he used it, it had the effect of making light work of heavy things. A single strike seemed elusive, but in fact contained strong killing power.

"die!"

Luo Feng slashed down indifferently, and the blade in his hand instantly split into several blades. The bright light flashed, and in the eyes of Bing Dao Ning and Tie Liu, they could only see several blade lights shining.

In the blink of an eye, the blade was already at the neck of the Great Ice Blade Ferocious, slicing down with a single stroke.

Tie Liu's eyes widened, and he stood there stunned.

What was that just now?

He didn't see anything clearly at all; he only saw the blade flash briefly before it ended, but in his mind's perspective, the blade seemed to linger.

That strike was truly astonishing.

There was nothing wrong with it, but the speed and the lighting techniques created a misjudgment.

That kind of swordsmanship seemed to be etched into his mind in an instant: not the technique itself, but the fear and terror.

If it were him, there would be no way he could have withstood that blow.

Luo Feng disassembled the two arm blades of the Great Ice Blade Ferocious, revealing a body covered in muscles.

These giant ice blades were of a level comparable to the Qi Spirit Realm's Bone Forging Realm, and contained an astonishing amount of Qi, making them ideal as food. Luo Feng collected them all.

"Brother Tie Liu, don't just stand there," Luo Feng reminded him.

Tie Liu reacted: "That was amazing! How did you train that sword strike?"

"As I said before, for over twenty years, I've almost exclusively practiced just one move, internalizing it to the core. That last strike was it. If practicing the knife ten thousand times isn't enough, then practice it a million times, ten million times. When the knife is etched into your very bones, that's when you've mastered it."

Luo Feng smiled.

Seeing Luo Feng take away the large ice blade, Tie Liu had nothing to say.

Both Ice Blade Ferocious became Luo Feng's prey, which can be considered a decent harvest.

"This star is far more terrifying than I imagined. Its strength is probably close to the late stage of the Bone Forging Realm or even the ultimate perfection." Tie Liu took a deep breath.

He secretly reminded himself that he could only befriend such people, not provoke them.

Regardless of their identity, that's something the Five Peaks Sect will have to do next.

He glanced at the other five people in the room. Apart from the guy who was unlucky at the beginning and had his hand cut off, the others were not injured.

"Let's go check out that Qi Sand vein," Tie Liu said, while one of his guards seemed to know its location.

Led by him, we walked for fifteen minutes until we reached the edge of the canyon, where there was a dug-out opening.

"We miners in Dongmu County who explore for Qi sand are among the hardest working. They probe and excavate every place where Qi energy is abundant, and then dig into the ground," Tie Liu said. "Let's go, the Qi sand vein is inside."

This time, they are only conducting preliminary exploration. For subsequent mining, workers will be needed.

The entire cave is very small, barely wide enough for one person to pass through.

Each person carried a light-emitting stone and entered the cave one by one, going down a full kilometer before finally seeing a space the size of a room.

Inside, the Qi was incredibly rich, and I felt extremely comfortable.

Tie Liu walked to a barrier where some crystals, about the size of a finger, were placed. They were pale silver with a hint of off-white.

"It is indeed Qi Sand." Tie Liu's eyes lit up.

Small-scale Qi sand mines only produce grade nine Qi sand, but that still represents a significant amount of wealth.

Tie Liu then took out something resembling a compass, poured his Qi into it, and an invisible force began to emanate from it, flowing into the soil. This force, which only required Qi to exist, could be connected, thus enabling the detection of the size of the Qi sand crystal ore.

On the compass in his hand, a three-dimensional projection seemed to form, and the volume of the light gradually increased, and Tie Liu's eyes also gradually brightened.

"It's not a micro-vein, nor a small-sized vein; it feels like it's reaching the level of a medium-sized vein."

Upon hearing Tie Liu speak, Luo Feng looked at her with a sharp glint in his eyes. He had been worrying about the resources for cultivation, but unexpectedly, they were right here.
