Chapter 534: Chapter 348: Going Alone【New January, asking for monthly tickets!】
"Tell me about the ’Nine-layered Thunder Blade.’"
Yan Chuan interrupted Stone Demon.
Although Stone Demon didn’t know why Yan Chuan was unaware of the recent ’Nine-layered Thunder Blade’ incident that had turned the Abnormal World in Red Moon City upside down, he just wanted to stay alive, so he cooperated: "Just a month ago, it was said that two Abnormal brothers from Lower City infiltrated Upper City. Somehow, they managed to steal the Divine Artifact ’Nine-layered Thunder Blade’ from one of the ten historical families, the Ren Family, in the Holy Land. In their panic, they ran into the Ren Family’s millennium top genius, Ren Yisu, who was in secluded cultivation. A fierce battle ensued, resulting in the ’Nine-layered Thunder Blade’ shattering, destroying half of the Ren Family’s ancestral land. The artifact fell to Lower City, and the brothers took advantage of the chaos to escape."
Yan Chuan listened to Stone Demon’s account and gradually understood.
Nine-layered Thunder Blade!
This is a Divine Artifact passed down in an Upper City family, extremely powerful. But more precious than its power is the Martial Arts heritage contained within the ’Nine-layered Thunder Blade’ —
"The ’Nine-layered Thunder Blade’ contains a whole set of movement techniques ’Electric Flash,’ a complete Dao Yin Skill ’Nine Heavens,’ and a complete saber skill ’Thunderclap.’"
"Anyone who acquires it may possess sky-reaching and earth-penetrating power, invincible under heaven!"
Stone Demon spoke of the ’Nine-layered Thunder Blade’, unable to hide the greed in his eyes.
Such a Divine Artifact capable of elevating a family in Upper City, who can remain calm?
Thus, it’s imaginable how many people went crazy at the news of the ’Nine-layered Thunder Blade’ being stolen, shattering, and falling to Lower City!
"For the past month, most organizations in Lower City have mobilized all their force to search for the whereabouts of the ’Nine-layered Thunder Blade’ and those two brothers. Upper City, too, has organizations, especially the Ren Family, who have almost sent everyone out, digging three feet into the ground, going mad, and sparking considerable conflict in East City and North City with the Abnormal People Hall, Shining Star Society, and Debt Collectors. There have been casualties on both sides."
Ordinary people don’t know, as the information has been sealed.
But Stone Demon, being in the Abnormal World, knew that Red Moon City had long been chaotic, with constant mixed battles.
Like the ’Destroyer,’ considered a small organization, the ’Stone Demon’ and ’Red Demon’ of the ’Four Demons’ who are too timid to stay in the bloodstained East City and North City, have fled to West City to hide.
Unexpectedly, West City isn’t safe either, and they were quickly captured and subdued by Yan Chuan, leaving their lives at his mercy.
"Rest assured."
"Behave honestly, and you won’t die."
After questioning Stone Demon, Yan Chuan unsealed the ear points of the ’Red Demon’ in the same way, and further interrogation followed.
After cross-checking to confirm no discrepancies, he said, "From now on, do not cause random destruction, do not involve the innocent. If I find out, you will wish for death! Also, if there’s any news of the ’Nine-layered Thunder Blade,’ report it immediately!"
"Yes, yes!"
"We won’t dare anymore!"
Stone Demon and Red Demon quickly nodded in agreement. The ’Four Demons’ are inherently cunning, and with their lives in Yan Chuan’s hands, they naturally wouldn’t dare to defy him.
Yan Chuan removed the spider silk from the two demons and instructed Stone Demon, "Follow me."
...
"Remember that person’s scent?" Yan Chuan met with Stone Demon and Tan Zhen, handed over the enhanced ’Spider Silk Bracelet’ to Tan Zhen, and had Stone Demon memorize Tan Zhen’s scent.
"I remember!"
Stone Demon obediently.
"You stay with him recently, see who he hands the ’Spider Silk Bracelet’ to, and continually track upwards. If you can trace the headquarters and leader of the ’Black Spider’ organization, I will consider it a great merit!"
Yan Chuan gave Stone Demon the ’Life and Death Talisman’ stick and then used half of the Shaolin Absolute Skill "Divine Fist Eight Strikes" to entice Stone Demon.
A stick in one hand!
A sweet date in the other!
There’s no fear that Stone Demon won’t be diligent.
Of course, that’s on the premise that the ’Life and Death Talisman’ on Stone Demon’s body isn’t broken.
But how to attach Yang Inner Strength to the ’Life and Death Talisman,’ and how to attach Yin Inner Strength, whether to apply three parts Yang or seven parts Yin, or six parts Yin, four parts Yang, although just Yin and Yang Qi, the sequence of application is different, and the proportions vary, as you wish, with countless changes.
It’s incredibly difficult to break.
Only the "Heavenly Mountain Six Yang Palm," combined with various medical classics learned by Yan Chuan, to master the Yin, Yang, false, and real aspects of each Life and Death Talisman for treatment.
The requirements are too high!
Too difficult!
Generally speaking, although Yan Chuan’s current ’Life and Death Talisman’ is only of the Fifth Realm, even an Innate Grandmaster like Jiang Bianliu, Chen Ze, or Huang Wuniang would find it difficult to break.
However, this is Red Moon City. There might be some unusual people or unique arts and treasures that happen to counter the ’Life and Death Talisman,’ which is unpredictable and not worth thinking much about.
...
The air in Red Moon City is thick and heavy, leaving a burnt scent of Earth Fire’s alchemy and artifact refining in people’s throats.
The residents of Lower City are long accustomed.
But outsiders from Upper City, like Yan Chuan and Wang Zhengyi, have to wear masks, finding it hard to adapt.
Another four days passed.
It’s been ten full days since the two entered Red Moon City.
The [Nine-layered Thunder Blade] mission had a breakthrough under Yan Chuan’s ’Gravity Domain’ strategy of scaring the snake, at least half a foot into the Abnormal World through ’Stone Demon’ and ’Red Demon.’
Simultaneously, Yan Chuan used the "Thousand Spider Poisonous Hand" and "Soft Red Spider Silk Technique," along with the Spiritual-enhanced ’Spider Silk Bracelet,’ to potentially connect to the ’Black Spider’ organization through the peripheral member Tan Zhen.
Destroyer!
Black Spider!
If everything goes well, starting from these two organizations, investigating the [Nine-layered Thunder Blade] will be much easier.
But it’s only been four days since Yan Chuan controlled ’Stone Demon’ and ’Red Demon,’ a short time, so progress on the mission is temporarily slow. One must wait, rely on luck, and continue the ’scare the snake’ plan to draw out more Abnormal people and martial masters. The more Abnormal people encountered and controlled, the deeper Yan Chuan’s understanding of the Abnormal World will be, and the stronger the force he can muster to find the ’Nine-layered Thunder Blade.’
