Chapter 13: The Dark Wind Mountains (Part 1)

  From their brief conversation just now, Xuan Tian had already understood the reason behind this fight.

  The third master of the Fuwei Gang went to buy something from a martial artist who had reached the eighth level of the Martial Way, but the martial artist thought the price was too low and refused to sell. The third master then resorted to violence.

  Now, that martial artist was beaten up and knew he was at a disadvantage, so he agreed to sell, but the three masters were not happy and wanted to rob him directly.

  The nearby towns are all within the sphere of influence of the Fuwei Gang. Although in Qing Shui Town, they are under the watchful eyes of everyone, but San Dangjia is not at all concerned, and as soon as there is a disagreement, they will fight and rob.

  For this kind of thing, as a former disciple of Xuan Tian, he should be in charge. He is a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect, and as long as he speaks up, the Fuwei Gang, a small gang, will not dare to lose face to him.

  But now Xuan Tian's age is younger than before, yet he appears more mature, and he hasn't spoken a word.

  He didn't say a word, and the martial artist was just beaten up by the Fuwei Gang members and robbed of his belongings.

  If he opens his mouth, with the identity of a Tianjian Sect disciple present, San Dangjia will naturally retreat and even return the stolen goods. However, this is absolutely not what San Dangjia wants to do willingly, but rather it will ignite anger in his heart. He doesn't dare to do anything to the Tianjian Sect disciple, but he might develop a murderous intent towards that Wudao Eighth Realm martial artist.

  That is to say, a word of advice from Xuantian might bring fatal disaster to that warrior who has reached the eighth level of martial arts.

  Three leaders saw that there was a Tianjian Sect disciple, in order to avoid attracting the attention of the Tianjian Sect, he waved his hand and shouted: "Enough, this time it's considered her good luck, let's go."

  Although the Fuwei Gang was small, it was well-organized. With a single order from the Third Master, all the gang members immediately stopped fighting and followed him, quickly disappearing into the side streets and out of sight of Xuantian.

  The martial artist of the eighth rank of Bushido was covered in bruises all over his body and coughed up blood from his mouth, clearly having been severely injured.

  Xuantian walked past him, stopped for a brief moment, placed a hundred taels of silver and a small therapeutic pill beside the warrior, then continued on his way.

  "Thank you!" came a grateful voice from behind.

  －－－－－－－－－

  After staying in Qing Shui Town for one night, Xuan Tian set out early on the second day and entered the Yin Feng mountain range.

  Qingshui Town is less than ten miles away from the Yin Wind Mountains, but it's over two thousand miles away from the Tianjian Sect. It's rare for an outer sect disciple of the Tianjian Sect to come all the way here to train, not only because of the distance, but also because the demonic beasts here are much stronger.

  The Tianjian Sect only has a thousand miles of the Yin Wind Mountains, where most are first-level demon beasts, with a small number of second-level demon beasts. Only in extremely rare cases will third-level demon beasts appear.

  Near Qing Shui Town, the Yin Feng mountain range is mostly inhabited by second-grade demonic beasts, and occasionally, third-grade demonic beasts will appear.

  Third-level demonic beast, equivalent to the strength of a Xiantian realm warrior. For outer sect disciples, third-level demonic beasts are almost impossible to defeat. If one's lightness skill is not cultivated well and they encounter a third-level demonic beast, they can't even escape, only death awaits.

  Xuantian has already cultivated the Leopard Shadow Technique to the Great Perfection Realm, and is not afraid of third-level demon beasts. Escaping is not a problem, and for second-level demon beasts, as long as they are not one of the few most powerful second-level demon beast overlords, Xuantian can basically handle them.

  Second-class demon beasts are ten times more valuable than first-class ones. The area around Qing Shui Town is mostly inhabited by second-class demon beasts, and Xuan Tian also has the ability to escape with his life. It's just right for him to practice here, gaining good harvests without being too dangerous.

  Before long, Xuan Tian had gone deep into the Yin Wind Mountains. The trees inside were much larger than those in ordinary mountains. Towering trees that several people could encircle with their arms could be seen everywhere. The dense foliage blocked out the sky and sun, casting a cold gloom over everything, even under the intense sunlight.

  The Yin Wind Mountain Range is extremely vast, a paradise for demonic beasts to survive. Even if tens of thousands of warriors enter, it's like throwing stones into the ocean, barely making a few ripples. In the Yin Wind Mountain Range, maintaining high vigilance is absolutely necessary.

  "Aaaaooo!" A wolf howl echoed from the valley on the left.

  "Iron Toothed Wolf! A mid-tier level 2 demon beast, its strength is slightly higher than a martial artist at the 8th layer of the Martial Way, and slightly lower than a martial artist at the 9th layer of the Martial Way!"

  Xuantian judged the origin of the demon beast based on its cry.

  Going out for training, first of all, one must learn to identify the demonic beasts. The relatively common first and second level demonic beasts, Xuan Tian had already learned their appearance, sound and strength at the Tianjian Sect.

  Xuantian sped up and headed towards the mountain valley in the west.

  After more than ten minutes, Xuan Tian arrived in the valley, where Tie Ya Lang had howled earlier.

  There were some bloodstains on the ground, as well as signs of a struggle.

  "Was there a warrior fighting against Iron Tooth Wolf just now?" Xuan Tian looked down at the ground, where there were human footprints.

  Bloodstains on the ground, spreading westward, and also the footprints of Iron-toothed Wolf. Xuantian chased after him.

  Xuantian's speed was extremely fast, yet as light as a leopard cat, without making any sound.

  After advancing for about five minutes along the valley, a rustling sound came from behind a huge rock in front, which was the sound of eating something with one's mouth.

  Xuantian suddenly thought of something in his heart, and he was instantly furious. The sound of eating, obviously not made by a human, but the voice of Tieyao Wolf. Since there were signs of a fight between Tieyao Wolf and humans earlier, and no human corpse!

  So - Iron Wolf is eating something at this moment, it's easy to imagine.

  How can Xuantian not be enraged when his kind is being devoured as food?

  He directly crossed over the giant stone, and the scene in his mind unfolded before his eyes.

  A three-meter-long, one-meter-twenty-three-high Iron Toothed Wolf was lying on the ground, a corpse of a martial artist about thirty years old lay in front of it, his arm had been severed, and the wolf's mouth was biting half of the arm.

  The demon core, fur, flesh and blood, and skeleton of the demon beast are all good things for warriors. The body of a warrior is also a great tonic for demon beasts, eating it can quickly increase their cultivation. Warriors and demon beasts are born enemies.

  Either leave with a large amount of demon cores and beast hides, walking out of the Yin Wind Mountains with joy, or become food in the mouths of demons, leaving no bones behind. This is the fate that awaits warriors who enter the Yin Wind Mountains.

  The path of a warrior, life and death, is only a line apart. To become a master, rapid growth, to achieve great success in the martial way, one must go through trials of life and death.

  On the outermost periphery of the Yin Wind Mountain Range, first-class demonic beasts are more common, relatively safe, but it's also difficult to gain anything significant.

  Harvests are often proportional to risks; if you want a big harvest, you must take certain risks.

  The warrior in front of him was unfortunately not very capable of taking risks and had lost his life to the monster before he could gain anything.

  "Roar......"

  Iron-toothed wolf discovered Xuan Tian's arrival, it arched its body, with fresh blood and saliva flowing from its mouth, let out a loud roar.

  This is a warning sound, the demon beast is not like human, although cruel, but not greedy, Tie Ya Lang has had food for several days in a row and does not want to make a big move with Xuan Tian.

  Clang!

  The sword is out of its scabbard, with a majestic aura and sharp edges radiating in all directions.

  Tie Ya Lang didn't want a big fight, but Xuan Tian's killing intent was soaring.

  Wow!

  Tie Ya Lang's ferocity was instantly ignited, his body shot up like a flash of lightning, baring his teeth and opening his bloody mouth wide, then he bit down on Xuan Tian's neck.

  Tie Ya Lang's speed is fast, his attack is fierce, and his iron teeth are enough to bite off the top-grade weapons of Huang Jie. If he were to engage in a fierce battle, even a martial artist at the 9th level of Wu Dao would not be able to gain the upper hand.

  "Spirit Snake Steps!"

  Xuantian's speed was extremely fast, his greatest advantage being agility, which perfectly countered the Iron-toothed Wolf's reliance on brute force. With a flash of movement, he dodged the wolf's pounce and struck out with his sword.

  "One Sword Chasing the Wind!"

  Xuān Tiān started from below and slashed upwards with his sword, unleashing a powerful sword energy that tore through the air. The slash began at Iron Toothed Wolf's abdomen and extended all the way to between his legs.

  Iron-toothed wolf's iron teeth are hard, claws are hard, and the fur on its back is also very thick, but the soft hair on its belly has a very low defense.

  Splash!

  Blood sprayed everywhere, internal organs spilled out of his stomach and scattered all over the ground.

  "Ahh——!"

  Iron-toothed wolf let out a shrill cry of despair, his body pounced onto the ground ten meters in front of him, constantly **.

  The belly burst open, internal organs splattered everywhere, Iron Tooth Wolf suffered a fatal injury, after just over ten breaths, Iron Tooth Wolf stopped breathing and died.

  Tie Ya Lang's body died, his defense dropped by more than half. Xuan Tian's sword sliced off Tie Ya Lang's head and dug out the demon core inside.

  Like a large thumb, the demon core is dark and shiny. The iron-toothed wolf's demon core has the same properties as its iron teeth, which are gold in nature. It plays a huge role in refining equipment, able to strengthen the hardness of swords and increase their attack power.

  A Iron Wolf's Demon Core can be exchanged for 15 Merit Points or 150 taels of silver.

  The demon beast's body is worth the most, with the demon core accounting for about half of it, and all the other materials making up the remaining half.

  Iron Fang of Iron Tooth Wolf, very hard, is the material for refining middle-grade yellow equipment, worth 8 merit points or 80 taels of silver. The fur of Iron Tooth Wolf can be refined into a middle-grade yellow leather armor, worth 5 merit points or 50 taels of silver.

  The flesh and bones of Iron Tooth Wolf are worth about 3 merit points or 30 taels of silver.

  Iron-toothed wolf, worth 31 merit points or 310 taels of silver, is one of the more valuable second-tier intermediate demon beasts. Killing ten of such demon beasts can earn you a Spirit Cleansing Pill or a Qi Condensing Pill.

  Flesh and bones were too bulky and inconvenient to carry, so Xuan Tian only took the demon core, iron teeth, and fur of the Iron Toothed Wolf. The demon core was the smallest in size but the most valuable, it was the item that warriors liked the most on a demonic beast's body, and could be carried in large quantities.

  As for the fur, warriors usually gather dozens of them and then return to the nearest town, selling them directly for silver or selling them at a low price to other warriors in the Yin Wind Mountains.

  There are also warriors who pursue efficiency, killing yao beasts and only taking their yao cores, discarding everything else.

  Xuantian harvested the demon core, iron teeth and fur of Tieyao Lang, then dug a hole and buried the corpse of the about thirty-year-old warrior. The incomplete corpses of his own kind were unbearable to look at.

  Then, Xuantian's body leaped onto a giant boulder over ten meters tall and lay in ambush.
