Chapter Nineteen: Secret Technique - Shattering the Chest with a Large Stone

  "Master! Master! It's Zhao Yun's great skill 'Unmatched'!"

  Zhao Yun, a deified figure in the Three Kingdoms! The ever-victorious general, with a heroic sword and a white horse, marched in and out of the 100,000-strong army three times.

  In Zhen San Li, Zhao Yun is also invincible and brave, an important figure in the late period of turning the tide.

  Looking at the golden skills, Long Tianyu felt his heart almost jumping out, Zhao Yun was a character he often operated before.

  For "Peerless", he was even more aware of it, this is a completely heaven-defying skill!

  "Master, the 'Peerless' effect is that after using it, within thirty seconds, attack speed increases by 50% and movement speed increases by 80%!"

  "80%! It's almost doubled!" To know that Long Tianyu belongs to the fire-type swordsmen, the fire-type destructive power is extremely strong, explosive force is strong, but the speed does not have an advantage. However, with "Peerless", Long Tianyu has become abnormal, completely worthy of being called a double wind and fire! And it's still level one, if it were level three or four, that would be even more incredible!

  He picked up the wooden sword and practiced the swordsmanship that Xuefei had taught him. It had to be said, Xuefei's swordsmanship was extremely powerful, and after learning it, he slowly grasped its subtleties, with sharp angles and flexible variations.

  This made him feel that the swordsmanship of those masters around him before was so rough, and even a master like Dong Jianzong couldn't be mentioned in the same breath.

  …………

  Tianlong Empire Imperial Palace.

  A month has passed and Long Yan looks much older than before. Probably the death of Long Tianyu had a great impact on him.

  "Your Majesty."

  "Big deal! How many times must I remind you, just call me Yanba when we're in my chambers or when no one's around."

  "Yan Bao, yesterday Kapan was extremely exhausted and fell asleep at my place. This morning he woke up and said that he has an important matter to report to you."

  For every report from Kapan, there is news that makes Long Yan happy. I wonder what good news it will be this time.

  "Welcome!"

  Kaplan carried a long sword and wore a fighting helmet as he entered the bedroom of Long Yanbao.

  "Your Majesty! I have traveled extensively throughout the land, secretly discovering that the Blood Feather Empire and the Beastman Tribe are in contact with the Mermaid Tribe. It seems like they are planning something big, and I suspect there is a spy within the imperial family!"

  "What! The Blood Feather Empire has actually allied with the demon beasts, what about the Star Moon Empire?"

  "Your Majesty, the Star and Moon Empire is handling things secretly. I have infiltrated the Star and Moon Imperial Palace five times to gather information, but I haven't been able to obtain any important news. Moreover, they are heavily guarded, as if they are also making some secret moves!" Kapan said in a low voice, but Long Yanbao felt that a crisis was approaching after hearing this.

  "Your Majesty, there's another piece of good news!"

  Upon hearing the good news, Long Yan's furrowed brow finally relaxed slightly.

  "The two elders of the Imperial Family, Lei Wu Ming and Lei Wu Hen, have broken through to become Sword Venerable powerhouses! This means that in the entire empire, we now have four Sword Venerable powerhouses!"

  For the strong swordsmen of the aristocratic families, Long Yanbao nodded slightly, showing some excitement, but still had a hint of unease, because although the aristocratic families also belonged to the empire, they were not as obedient to orders as those of the imperial family.

  "Although they are a family of imperial lineage, we must keep them under surveillance, it's not that I'm afraid of ten thousand, but rather the one in ten thousand!"

  Long Yan Bao leaned in close to Kapen and asked in a low voice, "Kapen, who was that mysterious person you and Tu Xuan Da Mo Dao Shifu showed great respect to last time?"

  Kaplan looked around cautiously and whispered, "She's Snowy Senior!"

  "What did you say?!" Long Yanba was shocked, his tongue even trembling slightly.

  "Yan Ba? What kind of person is Xue Fei?" Murong Da Guan knew history, but he didn't know much about the world's top masters. He was born and raised by royal teachers, far beyond ordinary students' understanding.

  "Haha, that's great! Kapan, you're talking about the Flying Snow Goddess Sword, Snowy Dance Sword Saint from 500 years ago!"

  "Exactly!"

  "That's great!" Long Yan was overjoyed. Xue Fei could be considered a person of the Tianlong Empire, and although she no longer cared about the struggles between empires as a major achiever, she would still lend a hand in times of danger due to her birthplace being the empire.

  Long Yan's mood is great, and he works hard to cover up his thoughts of Long Tianyu.

  "Wow! I heard that the Seventh Prince of the Star and Moon Empire came to propose to your family this morning? And hasn't your family's doorstep been worn out by all the proposals already?" Long Yanwang looked at Murong Da Guan with a smile.

  "Your Majesty is joking!"

  "Alas! What a pity for Xue Yi, this little girl. Let's discuss it and see if we can cancel the engagement!" Long Yanbao said with a serious face, as if he wasn't joking at all.

  "Your Majesty, you can't! The Dragon and Murong families have been intermarried for generations. Even if the prince sacrifices himself, it's all for the sake of my younger daughter, Xue Yi. She should fulfill her marriage obligations in this life."

  "Go! What a ridiculous idea! How can you not consider your own daughter?! The children of the Tianlong Empire's imperial family and officials should have fewer arranged marriages and more true love, that's what my father, Dragon Fu, taught me!"

  "But Your Majesty!" Mu Rong Da Guan's words were cut off by Long Yan Ba's raised hand.

  "Pass down my decree, cancel the engagement between Murong Xueyi and Long Tianyu. Let Murong Xueyi choose her own husband, whether it be an imperial prince or a prince from another empire. No more than three times shall anyone from the imperial family go to the Murong residence to disturb them. Those who disobey this order will be beheaded!"

  ………

  The peak of a mountain range in the deep forest of monsters.

  In order to be cool, he can wear his underwear outside! He can even eat a tiger like a cat. Long Tianyu is practicing swordsmanship and aura control very hard, thinking about it again before sleep, increasing his magic power a bit, if he's really tired, he'll just fantasize about beauties waving at him.

  He shook his head, Long Tianyu had just taken a short nap, but in his dream, something extremely evil happened.

  I'm back.

  A cold voice came, it was Xue Fei. Although Xue Fei still felt icy, compared to others, she had lost a lot of her indifference, and would sometimes ask about the Dragon Sky Empire's release.

  "Sister, what's in your hand?"

  Xue Fei's right hand was behind her back, and her left hand was holding a bag of glutinous rice balls.

  Long Tianyu has been eating those unseasoned roasted meats every day, his mouth is about to rot.

  "Do you want to eat?"

  Long Tianyu nodded like a timer ticking away.

  "Eating is fine, but first get rid of this guy!"

  Xue Fei's right hand emerged from behind her back, and to everyone's surprise, she was holding a Wind Leopard! This was a fourth-tier magical beast, equivalent in strength to a human swordmaster. Moreover, the Wind Leopard was incredibly fast, and ordinary swordmasters were no match for it.

  At this time, the wind leopard was curled up like a small kitten, looking at Snowy with pleading eyes, completely without any wildness.

  "Sister Xue, you wouldn't want me to get rid of it, would you?"

  "Hmm"

  This voice was learned from Long Tianyu, but the sound emitted by Xue Fei made Long Tianyu feel like a proud, cold and lonely queen, and all normal men would have a wicked thought.

  "Go! Get rid of him and you can leave!"

  Xue Fei threw Feng Bao in front of Long Tianyu, and Feng Bao seemed to understand her words. It immediately bared its fangs and glared at Long Tianyu with a fierce gaze.

  "Sister! I'm not ready yet..."

  Long Tianyu had not finished speaking when Feng Bao opened his bloody mouth and pounced on him.

  With a flick of his back, he dodged the Wind Leopard with agility. Long Tianyu had the 'Fighting Nation' skill, and his movement speed was even faster than that of an average Water Sword Master.

  With a roll, Long Tianyu picked up the wooden sword and turned to charge at Feng Bao, slashing towards his head. This action reminded him of the classic line from "Tom and Jerry": "Look out! Pussycat!"

  The fierce fire element attack came, and Feng Bao felt the crisis. As a wind-type creature known for its agility, Feng Bao's quick reflexes were quite high.

  One strike missed, "Boom!" Long Tianyu's sword energy struck up a piece of shattered stone.

  Bored Snowy suddenly discovered something, Ah! It's Long Tianyu's power! This is the top rock, and swordsmen below the third rank can't even cause damage, but Long Tianyu, a first-rank swordsman, actually has such great power!

  "'Fighting Nation' and 'Power Enhancement', stacked effects, hand strength increased by 25%! Even a third-tier fire swordsmaster doesn't have his kind of power!"

  "It's no good, it's magic!"

  The wind leopard opened its big mouth, and a green light ball condensed in its mouth, which was the wind leopard's signature magic 'Wind Blade Knife', this is a third-level magic.

  A faint orange aura burst open with a loud "Boom", Long Tianyu quickly dodged, but the distance between him and Feng Bao was too close. Under the cancellation of the aura, his left arm was still cut by the 'Wind Blade Knife' with five bloody mouths.

  Rubbing his painful wound, Long Tianyu blazed with anger: "You stinking beast! Just you wait and see if I don't hack you to death!"

  Even when Long Tianyu was angry, his swordsmanship remained unchanged and did not become disordered.

  With a sharp movement, **'s pace, the wind leopard counterattacked several times but didn't hit its mark and instead had a patch of fur cut off by Long Tianyu.

  A gust of wind dodged and jumped on one side of a stone wall.

  "Let's see how you hide!" Long Tianyu spun his sword and leaped away.

  "War is hell!"

  Long Tianyu let out a furious roar, and suddenly felt a mysterious energy coursing through his body, a purple-golden airflow that flowed from his chest down to his feet.

  "Boom!"

  The earth shook with a loud noise.

  The wind leopard that had just lightly jumped up was suddenly trampled by Long Tianyu's flying kick, its four limbs suffering severe pain. Its body seemed to have lost its sense of direction, and it felt dizzy!

  "Kill me!"

  Long Tianyu used his greatest strength, raising the wooden sword high and chopping down at the dizzying Wind Leopard with a speed of 0.4 seconds.

  "Skill triggered 'Fatal Strike'! Damage increased by 100%!"

  A mechanical voice echoed in Long Tianyu's mind, it was him who triggered the Warrior's Talent 'Fatal Strike'!

  The wooden frame that was emitting a faint orange glow suddenly turned deep orange!

  "Pffft!"

  The wind leopard was split in two by the wooden sword.

  "Ah!"

  Long Tianyu let out a tired sigh and plopped down on the ground, ignoring the bloodstains in front of him.

  Xue Fei had killed countless people, beasts and demons, and the bloody scenes he had witnessed were too numerous to count. For such a small scene as this, he wouldn't feel any discomfort, but he felt that Long Tianyu was off, especially at his chest.

  "Tianyu, how did you have such great strength? And just now, what was that one step all about? Why did a strong aura suddenly appear from your chest? Why did the Wind Leopard suddenly stop moving?"

  "This..."

  Long Tianyu suddenly used all his skills in a rush, and now he's been discovered by Xue Fei.

  Standing up straight and puffing out his chest, Long Tianyu explained with a sly tone: "Sister Xue, this is all the result of my usual practice of 'Chest Shattering Large Stone' basic skills!"

  Long Tianyu glanced at Xue Fei's chest, which was full and plump under her robe, and came up with an extremely ridiculous explanation, but even if Xue Fei was very strong, she had never practiced breaking large rocks with her chest.
