  "Senior Chu, you …"

  Tao Huan was a little shocked, was Chu Yun really giving all of the spirit medicines he found to him?

  "These elixirs aren't of much use to me. You might be able to help more if you keep them."

  Chu Yun's voice was very gentle, he could not help but reach out to touch Tao Huan's head: "How is your training of the blade going?"

  "I'm trying hard to adapt!"

  Tao Huan clenched her delicate fists tightly, her beautiful eyes were filled with determination.

  This kind of opportunity was not rare, so Tao Huan had to put in more effort in learning and comprehending.

  "It's still early, take your time, don't worry!"

  Chu Yun smiled and looked to the side.

  Gong Yanjie had already woken up from his coma. His eyes were filled with dread, and he did not dare to fart, directly walking to the side, distancing himself from Chu Yun.

  That kick of Chu Yun's from before had almost crippled him, and allowed him to clearly recognize the gap between him and Chu Yun.

  He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, took the initiative to walk together with Gong Yanjie, and said with a face full of terror: "Boss Gong, this kid is really too strong, so strong that it makes no sense. I can't even block a single blow from him!"

  After Gong Yanjie heard this, he could not help but scold loudly, "F * * k, isn't this daddy the same?"

  The two of them could see the fear in each other's eyes and came to a common conclusion. No matter what, they could not provoke Chu Yun anymore.

  Chu Yun could not be bothered to care about them, he stood by Tao Huan's side and attentively instructed her.

  The Great Sage was bored to death, so he laid on the floor and slept lazily.

  … ….

  "Open the portal!"

  Huo Hongchang stood at the entrance and shouted in a low voice. At the same time, he flicked his finger and a streak of flowing light suddenly drilled into the void.

  The two elders outside quickly opened the portal after receiving the news.

  Huo Hongchang took a step forward, and following behind him were a few disciples led by Xu Zhiheng. Their faces were filled with fatigue, and they walked out miserably.

  "Why are there so many casualties?"

  Seeing them, the two elders outside revealed serious expressions.

  "I just brought the group back first. The remaining disciples still have to explore the Thunder Abyss. I'll come back to get the Thunder Pearl."

  The corner of Huo Hongchang's mouth curled into a smile. As the saying goes, a complete set of acting can be done. After all, exploring the Thunder Abyss was not a small matter.

  "Thunder Abyss?"

  The two elders guarding the Thunder Swamp were immediately shocked. They couldn't help but shout out, "No one has explored that place for more than ten years, this is no small matter. We must report this to the sect!"

  Huo Hongchang became anxious. He definitely could not report this to the sect, if by chance he attracted the sect's attention, he would not be able to enter the Thunder Abyss.

  He pretended to smile indifferently and waved his hand, "Is there a need to bother the sect with such a small matter? These disciples were only curious. Once they pass through Thunder Valley, their hearts will naturally beat a drum as they retreated! "

  "No, Elder Huo, this matter is a little special, we have to report it to the sect no matter what."

  The two Elders refused to budge.

  Huo Hongchang's face darkened, and said coldly: "My disciples only wish to enter to see the world, they won't stay for long, and have to report to the sect. What is the meaning of this? "Could it be that I, this Huo someone, don't even have this little bit of face?"

  "No …" "No!"

  Beads of perspiration appeared on the two elders' foreheads. It was obvious that they were under a lot of pressure when facing Huo Hongchang.

  "Then don't meddle in other people's business!"

  Huo Hongchang snorted coldly, turned and left.

  The two elders looked at each other as they laughed bitterly. With Huo Hongchang's power, the two of them had no way out. After all, in the Sunscorch Sect, Huo Hongchang's position and seniority was much higher than theirs!

  Huo Hongchang's heart was filled with urgency as he quickly arrived in front of the sect's treasury. He looked left and right, but saw no one around him, and then stepped inside with large strides.

  "Old Qin, get me a few Thunderbolt Pearls!"

  Huo Hongchang went straight to the point.

  The one guarding the treasury was an old man with a crane hairstyle. Seeing that Huo Hongchang wanted to open his mouth to take the Thunder Pearl, he raised his eyebrows in confusion. What are you doing with the Thunder Pearl? "

  "A few disciples wanted to learn more about the Thunder Abyss, but I forgot to bring the Thunder Pearl when I went in, so I had to ask you for it midway. Give it to me quickly, I can't stay outside for too long! "

  Huo Hongchang asked anxiously.

  The old man who was called Old Qin did not think too much about it. He nodded and went to look for Old Qin. After a while, he walked out witelpless expression and said, "Unfortunately, there aren't any left in the Thunder Pearl. You know that no disciple has ever gone to the Thunder Abyss in the past few years, so I haven't made any preparations at all …"

  Huo Hongchang clenched his fist tightly and could not help but ask: "If there is no lightning bead, then can you refine it for me on the spot? I don't want much, six is enough! "

  When Huo Hongchang calculated, he also included the Great Sage in it.

  Chu Yun, Tao Huan, Great Sage, He Yi, Gong Yanjie, and himself, exactly six.

  "Why are you in sucurry?"

  Old Qin frowned and could not help but mutter: "You need this thing, you didn't tell me in advance that refining the Thunderbolt Pearl is not simple, plus you are so anxious about it …"

  "Just treat it as helping me this once, I'll treat you to a drink next time!"

  Huo Hongchang clasped his hands together and bowed.

  "Alright, I want to drink that hundred year old wine of yours!"

  Old Qin's eyes lit up and the corner of his mouth curled into a smile.

  "Alright, alright, alright. I'll drink with you when I get back!"

  Huo Hongchang didn't think of anything else at the moment. He just wanted to quickly get his hands on the Thunder Pearl, enter the Thunder Abyss, and figure out what his brother Huo Chengzhi's plan was. If possible, try to stop his movements.

  "This is the first time this old thing has seen you so generous."

  Old Man Qin muttered to himself before turning around to walk intightly closed secret room.

  Huo Hongchang sat outside, anxiously waiting, as if every second was torture.

  He and his brother were both orphans and they had relied on each other since childhood. Coincidentally, they had entered the Sunscorch Sect and embarked on the path of cultivation. It could be said that Huo Hongchang only had one relative, and that was his younger brother, Huo Chengzhi. He thought that his brother had died decades ago, but who knew that he was still alive!

  This kind of news made Huo Hongchang restless, he did not want to waste even a second of it.

  "Boom!"

  "Crackle!"

  A deafening explosion sounded out in the secret room. It was clear that Old Man Qin was currently refining the Lightning Avoidance Beads.

  Just as Huo Hongchang was burning with anxiety and was about to urge him on, the door to the secret room opened. Elder Qin held six cyan lightning pearls in his hands, and snorted unhappily: "Today's condition is still considered good, after training ten pearls, it became six. "Take it and remember to treat me to a drink when you get back!"

  "No problem!"

  After Huo Hongchang received the Thunderbolt Pearl, his figure instantly disappeared from the treasury.

  "Elder Huo."

  When the two elders guarding the Thunderclap Swamp teleportation portal saw Huo
Hongchang return, they immediately made way for him respectfully.

  "Neither of you are allowed to speak of this matter, or I, Huo Su, will not forgive you!"

  Huo Hongchang stared at the two of them coldly, then turned and stepped into the portal.

  "What kind of medicine did Elder Huo eat wrong today?! How infuriating!"

  "Isn't he always so angry?"

  The two elders spread their hands, neither of them took Huo Hongchang's abnormal behavior to heart. They had even thought that the reason Huo Hongchang was angry was because his face had been rejected earlier.

  … ….

  "Un, you've done quite well. It isn't easy for you to change your habit of growing up within a few years in just three days!"

  Chu Yun had a smile on his lips, he knew Tao Huan's progress well, and rejoiced in his heart.

  The current Tao Huan, in terms of fighting strength, was definitely a cut above three days ago!

  The Buried Flower Saber Technique she displayed eliminated a lot of flashy moves and added a few self-made killing moves from Chu Yun, making it seem even more smooth.

  The killing moves that Chu Yun had joined in were all repeatedly figured out and thought about from within the Berserk Dragon Blade Art. They seemed ordinary and ordinary, but in reality, they contained a large amount of dao laws.

  In these three days, Chu Yun would occasionally exchange a few blows with Tao Huan, and of course, without exception, all of them were completely defeated. However,hee was in high spirits. Every time he failed, she would quickly adjust to it. The more he failed, the more courageous he would become. Naturally, his growth would also increase rapidly.

  "I could have done better."

  Tao Huan was a little troubled. She could clearly feel that there were bottlenecks in many places, but she could not take the most critical step forward.

  "It's already extremely rare. Have you not discovered that your battle power has greatly increased compared to before?"

  Chu Yun praised.

  "Brother Yun's Buried Flower Saber Technique has indeed improved by a level, but I don't know if teacher will be able to accept that. She is a very persistent and stubborn person, and is extremely satisfied with her own Saber Techniques, not allowing anyone to say anything bad about it. "I hope that she won't teach me a lesson once we return …"

  Tao Huan stuck out her tongue, obviously afraid of Clan Elder Lin Yue.

  "As long as she truly understands sabresmanship, she won't blame you!"

  Hearing that, Chu Yun laughed indifferently, it was not a big deal, if the improved sword technique was stronger, what reason would she have to blame Tao Huan?

  "However, there is one thing you must remember. You must not tell others that I am the one who guided you and that I do not wish to provoke any trouble."

  Chu Yun knew that the moment his identity as the assassin was exposed, it would bring him a lot of unnecessary trouble, so he asked Tao Huan to keep it a secret temporarily.

  Sooner or later, everyone would know that he had comprehended Saber Intent, but not now.

  Just as the two of them were chatting, a figure rushed over from the distance, covered in dust. It was Huo Hongchang.

  He came to their side and excitedly said, "I've already gotten the Thunder Pearl. After a short rest, we'll all head towards the Thunder Abyss!"

  Chapter 138 - One of the bad ones

  Huo Hongchang gave the Thunderbolt Pearl to everyone, and not even the Great Sage went down.

  Chu Yun carefully sized up the green lightning bead in his hand. It was very round, and when his fingers came into contact with it, he could clearly feel a thin electrical current.

  "If you are struck by lightning, do not panic. Hold the Thunder Pearl tightly in your hand and it will actively release energy auras to protect you from the thunder and lightning!"

  Huo Hongchang wanted to cut a long story short, so it could be seen the anxiety at the bottom of his heart.

  "Let's go!"

  Huo Hongchang was leading the way ahead. This was not the first time he had entered this place, so he naturally memorized the location of the Thunder Abyss.

  After passing the herb field, they went deeper a kilometer, only to see the sky darken, and the rain becoming heavier. Accompanied by deafening thunder, the entire world suddenly brightened and darkened, making it seem very illusory.

  Far away, at the far end of the plains, there was a gorge. The entrance to the gorge was pitch-black, like the gaping maw of a gigantic beast.

  Within the canyon, endless sounds of lightning crackled, lighting up the interior as if it were day.

  As he approached the entrance of the canyon, he could feel the overflowing aura of thunder and lightning. The power was enough to puserson away.

  Huo Hongchang frowned, his eyes staring at the inside of the canyon, he could not help but say: "What a strong lightning Qi, compared to the times when I came, it's much stronger. Could it be that the power of the lightning inside will continue to increase? "

  Gong Yanjie and He Yi stood outside the canyon, looking at the lightning snakes flickering inside, and couldn't help but feel fear in their hearts.

  If this lightning struck their bodies, even Genuine Force Warriors would find it hard to endure, right?

  It seemed that if he wanted to pass the trial safely, he would have to rely on the Thunderbolt Pearl.

  Chu Yun looked at the endless electric snakes, his heart slightly moved. No wonder this place was called the abyss, just the lightning in the valley was not something an ordinary warrior could endure.

  Tao Huan covered her mouth, she was extremely shocked. Could the Lightning Avoidance Bead really withstand such ferocious lightning?

  "If all of you regret now, there is still time."

  Huo Hongchang saw the hesitation in their eyes, and in the bottom of his heart, he had already made up his mind. Even if everyone didn't go in, he would go in and investigate.

  "Boss Gong, what should we do?"

  If anything happened to him, his life would be gone.

  Under the cover of the lightning, even someone as strong as Huo Hongchang could only barely protect himself. In order to survive, everyone could only rely on themselves, and then pray that the Thunder Pearl would be able to safely pass through.

  Gong Yanjie turned to look at Chu Yun, and said fiercely: "Go in, of course we will go in! Damn it, what's there to be afraid of if there's a Thunder Pearl? "

  "The thunder inside will not stop, and my vision will be blocked. You must follow me closely, don't lose me!"

  Huo Hongchang said in a low voice. After he finished speaking, he grabbed the Thunder Pearl and rushed into the canyon without a single shred of fear on his face.

  "Elder Huo, wait for us!"

  Seeing that, Gong Yanjie and He Ye were shocked, without thinking, they quickly followed.

  "You go ahead."

  Chu Yun very carefully allowed Tao Huan to walk in the front, because the safest spot in a group was undoubtedly the middle, and the most dangerous place was the front and back.

  Chu Yun took the initiative to request to walk behind Tao Huan. Even if there was any sudden danger, he could protect Tao Huan from harm.

  The Great Sage scratched his head and walked at the back.

  "Alright, you have to keep up with me."

  Tao Huan forcefully suppressed the fear in her heart and lightly leaped into the canyon.

  Chu Yun had a smile on his face, he was extremely calm, without a single ripple.

  Having experienced so much was nothing.

  "Boom!"

  As soon as they entered the canyon, they saw seven or eight streaks of furious lightning piercing through the sky. They were likillar of light that fell from the sky and hacked down ruthlessly, causing people to be unable to breathe.

  "Don't panic, the Thunder Pearl will protect us!"

  Huo Hongchang was not afraid, walking at the front with his head held high.

  Gong Yanjie was on tenterhooks, his
heart could not help but stay in his throat, seeing the lightning strike down, his body suddenly produced a green light barrier, blocking the lightning.

  "Crackle!"

  The lightning and thunder shattered, and countless tiny lightning serpents swam along within the green light. It was a shocking sight to behold.

  Gong Yanjie's legs went soft, and he closed his eyes tightly, not daring to open them to look. A few seconds later, he finally raised his head, and realized that the green light barrier had blocked all the lightning outside of his body.

  "Seems like the effects of this Thunderbolt Pearl aren't small."

  Gong Yanjie heaved a sigh of relief. This valley was only a thousand meters long, they would be able to cross it in no time.

  With the protection of the Thunder Pearl, it was absolutely safe.

  Huo Hongchang walked at the very front like a beacon, with a few people following closely behind him, not daring to stray too far from him.

  "Buzz!"

  The crystal stone on Huo Hongchang's waist suddenly buzzed, he frowned and picked it up, after thinking about it, he still responded: "What's wrong, Old Qin, is therroblem?"

  "You haven't led your disciples into the Thunder Abyss yet, right? "In such a short period of time, I'm sure you won't make it in time …"

  Old Man Qin's voice was somewhat anxious.

  Huo Hongchang's heart thumped, his face suddenly changed, could there broblem?

  He tried to suppress the shock in his heart: "We have just reached the mouth of the canyon but haven't come in. What's wrong?"

  "Sigh, that's good. I tell you, one of the six I gave you was bad. There arotal of ten Thunderbolt beads I refined, only five of them were effective, the remaining five are all trash, and I can only blame myself for being too anxious and giving six to you in the nick of time. Luckily I reminded you in time, or else this would have been unimaginable … "

  Old Qin heaved a long sigh of relief and wiped the sweat off his forehead.

  Huo Hongchang's face suddenly became extremely unsightly. Out of the six Lightning Repellent Pearls, one was actually a piece of trash?

  Dammit, how could something like this happen at this critical moment!

  Huo Hongchang suddenly turned his head to look, at the moment he was already more than two hundred metres away, the thunder snakes were roaring in the sky, the lightning was glaring, and if he wanted to escape, he would not make it in time.
