Chapter 27: The Sword Intent That Gave Nie Ling’s a Fight, Clear Sky Set

At this moment, Nie Ling tugged at the corner of his shirt, not daring to make a sound.

She shook her head, indicating that Su Yi was not a match for it.

He smiled at her and patted his own chest, indicating that he was confident.

“Trust me.”

Then, under Nie Ling’s dumbstruck situation, he actually dashed out towards the demon beast.

A demon beast close to the middle stage of the foundation establishment stage. He was just about to find a demon beast with similar strength to test his own strength.

Was this not a good opportunity?

Roar–

Su Yi had just jumped out from the huge rock when the crystal thunder horn rhinoceros discovered him.

Turning its huge body, it looked at Su Yi with blood-red eyes and roared.

It could feel that the human in front of it had taken the lives of its people.

Anger rose in its heart, and all the spiritual power in its body gathered on the giant horn. Instantly, the giant horn flashed with lightning, and actually slowly condensed into a ball of lightning.

It wanted to crush this human in one go.

“Second move, Tiangang Six Sword Fingers.”

Su Yi obviously was not willing to be outdone. His eyes turned cold, and he stretched out his hands, and six lights gathered at the tip of his fingers.

He swung his hands, and the six sword fingers directly shot toward its head.

Whoosh!

Although it had a huge body, with the strength of the foundation establishment realm, how fast was its reaction speed?

It saw the six lights coming towards it, and with a swing of its head to the side, it actually dodged five of Su Yi’s sword fingers.

Only one sword finger brushed past the giant horn on its head.

It made a sizzling sound.

Seeing this, he frowned slightly. The six sword fingers actually did not deal any damage on the surface of the giant horn, only leaving a scratch.

Fortunately, he had succeeded, as he was trying to interrupt the skill that the thunder horn rhinoceros was trying to use.

The thunder technique of the crystal thunder horned rhinoceros had been interrupted, and it was furious. It opened its bloody mouth and pounced at Su Yi.

Facing the direct attack of the crystal thunder horn rhinoceros, he felt more at ease, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

His true essence exploded, and his body moved away from his original position, dodging to the side.

The rhinoceros pounced on the ground heavily.

Boom–

With a loud sound, gravel flew in all directions, and a deep pit appeared on the ground.

One could imagine how powerful this pounce was.

After dodging, he condensed six cold lights. Another Tiangang Six Sword Fingers.

However, this time, he shot at the body of the rhinoceros.

Boom–

The sound of metal rang out. The six sword fingers pierced through the thick scales, but they could only make a few shallow bloody holes. He could not deal much damage to its massive body.

Roar–

The crystal thunder horned rhinoceros roared in pain.

Behind the huge rock, Nie Ling watched the battle between Su Yi and the horned rhinoceros with surprise in her eyes.

This demon beast was close to the middle stage of the foundation establishment stage. Su Yi was actually able to hold it off.

There was even a faint feeling that he had the upper hand.

Nie Ling felt that her worldview had been completely refreshed recently.

“Isn’t this too crazy? His qi condensation ability is actually able to fight against a demon beast that is close to the middle stage of the foundation establishment stage…”

…

At this time, Su Yi had already slowly drawn away the crystal thunder horned rhino.

He was afraid that the battle would get too close to Nie Ling’s location.

He casually waved a few sword fingers, and he had a rough assessment of his own strength.

His current strength had already surpassed the early stage of the foundation establishment stage, although not by too much.

Facing this kind of demon beast that did not have high agility, he could completely crush it.

Thinking up to this point, he no longer wanted to continue tussling with this demon beast.

He raised his hand in front of his chest, closed his eyes slightly, and then opened them, letting out a low shout.

“Fifth move, Tiangang Sword Intent Finger!”

As he finished speaking, a few streaks of sword qi appeared on the fingers that were raised in front of his chest.

“Go!”

Whoosh–

Su Yi let out a low growl, and that sharp sword qi shot towards the head of the crystal thunder horned rhino. The sword qi carried an icy cold sword intent.

The demon beast saw as the few streaks of sword qi was coming towards it. It felt as if its entire body was in an ice purgatory.

Its body had already begun to fear these few streaks of sword qi.

However, it did not stop resisting because of this, and its eyes revealed a fierce glint.

It roared loudly as if to embolden itself.

All the spiritual power in its body gathered on the giant horn above its head, the rhino wanted to condense the power to resist Su Yi’s sword intent.

However, it was still a step too late. This cold light that was mixed with sword intent seemed to cut through the air, piercing through the giant horn on its head. It pierced right through the horn, along with its hard head.

Even though its scaled were praised to be the ‘perfect defense’, there were also a few holes, spewing blood.

It fell heavily to the ground with an unwilling look in its eyes, and its life force was quickly drained along with its blood.

After it died,, Su Yi immediately harvested the resources.

[Hint: Collection successful. Obtained foundation establishment demon king inner core x 1, obtained foundation establishment demon king fur x 1, obtained lightning black horn x 1.]

After collecting it, he looked at where Nie Ling was.

She was currently looking in his direction with lifeless eyes, as if her mind had suffered a huge injury.

Seeing that something was wrong, he hurriedly walked over and asked, “fellow Daoist Nie, are you alright?”

Nie Ling did not respond and continued to stare blankly. Su Yi hesitated for a moment before reaching out and patting her.

“Ah–!”

Nie Ling’s entire body trembled when she was patted. She realized that Su Yi had unknowingly arrived by her side.

“Fellow Daoist Su, you used sword intent just now, right?”

Her tone was a little shaky, and her eyes were filled with disbelief.

“Sword intent? I guess so.”

Su Yi looked at Nie Ling in confusion. Although his Tiangang Sword Intent was not actually a sword, it would still be considered as ‘sword intent’.

“Heavens, what kind of monster are you? You actually, actually learned sword intent!!”

Her eyes were shining as she stared at Su Yi. She slowly took a few steps back as if she was looking at a peerless treasure.

…

Ignoring Nie Ling’s greedy gaze, he began to search for the crystal thunder horned rhino’s nest.

Since it appeared here, they should not be too far from its nest secret area.

However, after searching for a while, he still did not find the secret area.

He frowned slightly and muttered to himself, “it should be here somewhere. That fellow can’t have come all the way here, right?”

At this moment, Nie Ling also recovered from her shock. Su Yi had completely overturned her understanding of strength today.

Seeing him searching everywhere, she also understood that Su Yi was searching for the demon beast’s nest. She said, “fellow Daoist Su, do you still remember? At the beginning, that crystal thunder horned rhino’s location was at the center of the lake.”

“Yeah, of course I remember.”

He remembered that at the beginning, the crystal thunder horn rhino’s appearance had caused the lake water to retreat. It already had the crystal-clear water attribute, so it was very likely that it had built its nest in the water.

“Do you mean that its nest might be at the bottom of the lake?” Su Yi asked.

Nie ling nodded.

After saying this, the two used their true essence and dived into the water. At the bottom of the lake, there was a place that was emitting a sparkling light, like treasure.

“It really is at the bottom of the lake!”

Su Yi’s face lit up, and he dived in.

This secret realm was not big, and it was a demon beast nest. There was only one treasure chest that was emitting a silver light, and there was nothing special about it.

He walked to the silver treasure chest and opened it.

A dazzling silver light flashed. There was a set of robe and equipment lying quietly in the chest.

The equipment had a green base and white patterns. At a glance, it looked rather elegant.

He reached out and took it out. Immediately, he saw the attributes of this set of equipment.

[Hint: You have obtained the clear sky set (qi condensation.)]

[Clear sky Daoist robe: Strength + 80, physique + 80.]

[Clear sky belt: Strength + 60, physique + 40.]

[Clear sky hair band: Strength 60, physique + 40.]

[Hint: After wearing the three-piece set, the set effect will be triggered. Inner breath + 100.]

Looking at the attributes, he pursed his lips. Unfortunately, it was a qi condensation realm set, and he did not plan to use meteor stones to upgrade it. He casually threw it into the immortal destiny seal.
