C24 Body Cultivation Technique the Fierce Battle Was about to Begin!

Luo Chen had cultivated his Cross Sword Technique to the Oneness of Man and Nature Stage, achieving mastery from the outset. While its power was marginally less than that of the Cross Sword Technique at the same stage, the Dichroic Shadow Sword excelled in group combat, surpassing its counterpart by more than a notch.

Sword light rained down on the Ninth Grade Martial Disciple bandits, swiftly riddling their bodies with wounds as they were sent flying, screaming in agony.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for defeating four bandits! You've been rewarded with 400 points of spiritual energy and 100 points of proficiency in the Dichroic Shadow Sword."

"They're not even a match for the Shadow Devil Wolf," Luo Chen scoffed upon hearing the system prompt. A severely injured Shadow Devil Wolf had granted him 200 points of spiritual energy, yet these four bandits together only provided 400 points. To him, it felt like a waste of time!

Lei Laosan, overhearing Luo Chen's dismissive remark, was enraged. He had personally trained those bandits, and now they were being belittled. Feeling his pride wounded, he drew his long saber and charged at Luo Chen.

"Insolent brat! You'll regret crossing me!" Lei Laosan swung his saber, unleashing a howl that echoed through the air, followed by a flash of cold, gleaming light that sliced fiercely towards Luo Chen.

Luo Chen faced the Mad Wolf Saber Technique, a mid-grade yellow rank skill, with an unchanging demeanor. He deftly moved to Lei Laosan's rear and, with a swift motion of his long sword, conjured two intersecting cross-shaped sword lights that struck Lei Laosan with unmatched might.

Lei Laosan spat out blood and stumbled backward several steps before regaining his footing, his eyes bloodshot as he glared at Luo Chen.

"You're still standing?" Luo Chen raised an eyebrow, well aware of the formidable strength of the Oneness of Man and Nature Stage's Cross Sword Technique.

The Shadow Devil Wolf, a dominant second-grade Vicious Beast, couldn't withstand such an attack, yet Lei Laosan only coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood?

Luo Chen's eyes settled on Lei Laosan's back, noting the skin that shimmered with a coppery sheen. Realization dawned on him, and he remarked coolly, "Ah, you've been practicing a Body Cultivation Technique."

"You're somewhat informed," Lei Laosan retorted with a cold laugh upon hearing Luo Chen's observation. "I've been cultivating the Golden Bell Shield, a Body Cultivation Technique. And with daily soaks in medicinal wine, my skin has been tempered into a fortress of copper and iron. As long as my Genuine Qi remains intact, your blows won't faze me, no matter how many you land. Bring it on!"

"You're asking for it!"

Luo Chen's eyes narrowed, a glint of ice flashing within them as he vanished from sight.

In an instant, Luo Chen reappeared to Lei Laosan's left, his sword thrusting swiftly towards Lei Laosan's throat.

Lei Laosan, realizing the gravity of the situation, knew better than to underestimate his opponent. His earlier bravado was just for show; he was acutely aware of his Golden Bell Shield's limitations, having only achieved Exemplary Mastery. The shield could only fend off so much damage.

A direct hit to his vital points by Luo Chen could mean his end right there!

With full force, Lei Laosan activated his Golden Bell Shield, his left hand emanating a soft copper glow as he seized Luo Chen's sword, halting its advance.

"Now that you're disarmed, what will you fight me with?"

Lei Laosan sneered triumphantly, swinging his right hand. The long saber he wielded cut through the air towards Luo Chen, its whooshing sound slicing the silence.
