Misguided practice of sinister cultivation techniques: Slander! The problem lies with you all, not me!
Chapter 66: The Intensity of a Genius

Chapter 66: Chapter 66: The Intensity of a Genius

After chopping bamboo, Duan Yun did not return home, not because he was slacking off, but because he sensed the presence of Death Energy.

That is, the energy of the deceased.

This Death Energy, unlike the Moonlight and nature’s spiritual energy absorbed by Jade Sword Stance previously, possesses a completely different aura and is more tangible.

Duan Yun tried to send out an extremely thin Breaking Body Sword Energy.

The Sword Energy, like a drizzle, quickly merged with the Death Energy.

Immediately after, the Breaking Body Sword Energy underwent a fascinating transformation—originally silver-white like drizzle, it now turned jet black like ink.

Duan Yun urged the Sword Energy, thrusting it forward. The black Sword Energy, like drizzle, shot towards the nearby black bamboo.

The next moment, the black bamboo emitted a piercingly loud bursting noise, shattering and breaking in half.

"Holy shit, it’s so powerful?" Duan Yun was startled by himself.

All along, while Breaking Body Sword Energy was good for killing mosquitoes, its power was ultimately too weak. Even with Duan Yun’s extraordinary wisdom and supreme talent, it was difficult to resolve this issue for a while.

Unexpectedly, today’s toss of the corpse and chopping of bamboo allowed him to discover the existence of Death Energy.

And after fusing the tiny Breaking Body Sword Energy with the black Death Energy, it became extremely aggressive.

Duan Yun tried to combine the Sword Qi of Water Moon Slash and Jade Sword Finger with Death Energy and found it difficult.

Because the Sword Qi of Water Moon Slash and Jade Sword Finger already took shape upon leaving the body, making it extremely difficult to alter. Only this Breaking Body Sword Energy, as thin as threads, was highly malleable, merging easily with Death Energy.

"Breaking Body Sword Energy, release!"

In the next instant, Duan Yun’s body was instantly surrounded by a drizzle-like Sword Energy.

This Sword Energy, upon encountering Death Energy, quickly turned black and strengthened.

Duan Yun flicked his finger, and the black Sword Energy rushed out like a swarm of bees, buzzing loudly as it moved.

Wherever the black Sword Energy passed, the black bamboo exploded, tombstones were pockmarked, and dust flew around.

Walking among them, Duan Yun was like an unstoppable cutting machine. As the buzzing continued, he could shatter anything with his Sword Energy.

Duan Yun, standing in the graveyard, momentarily felt invincible.

But when he left the graveyard, everything returned to normal.

It seems that this aggressive Breaking Body Sword Energy still has some limitations—it can only be activated when there is Death Energy.

If there are no dead people around, it can only be good at killing mosquitoes.

However, this could also be a powerful move, especially since he has many enemies. The more he kills, the more new Death Energy there would be, making him stronger.

"Awesome!"

Even the usually modest Duan Yun couldn’t help praising himself.

Just by going out to chop some bamboo, he could realize such a deadly move. Truly, he is a one-in-a-million cultivation genius!

When Duan Yun returned to the Mountain Villa, he was all smiles.

Murong brothers and Shen Ying looked at him puzzledly. They knew he went to chop bamboo and dump bodies, not realizing that this guy might have just met a new girl and fallen in love anew.

"Why are you so happy?" Shen Ying asked curiously.

"Just now at the graveyard, I had a sudden insight. My martial arts improved a little bit," Duan Yun said.

Hearing that Duan Yun said "a little bit," with previous knowledge, Murong brothers’ temples twitched.

Especially seeing his beaming face, Murong brothers couldn’t help but internally remark: "With his style, the increase is probably not just a little bit."

So they couldn’t resist mocking: "You gain insights just by digging up a corpse and chopping some bamboo?"

Duan Yun shrugged his shoulders and humbly said: "Being full of energy, I felt it, just had to understand that little bit."

Is it strenuous for three martial arts experts to repair two houses?

The answer is still yes.

Using bamboo as roofing sounds wonderful, but in practice, attention must be paid to the structure and method of assembly, as well as ensuring a tight fit.

If done poorly, it is certain to leak water.

However, fortunately, all three of them have steady hands and can craft the bamboo into any desired shape, even carving designs on it.

After an afternoon of busy work, the two new houses were barely mended.

Although the windows were still unstable, the window paper was affixed at last.

Murong chose the innermost room, claiming it was quiet and more conducive for sleeping.

In this forsaken place, with just the three of them coming and going, how much more quietness did they need?

Duan Yun and Shen Ying’s room was on the outside.

Now, each person had a room, and both Murong and Shen Ying had moved into the new houses. The trio felt a sense of accomplishment.

This sense of achievement was no less than the feeling they got from killing those four eunuchs.

Because killing the eunuchs was destruction, while this time it was construction, the feeling was completely different.

As the day turned to dusk, Duan Yun knew that his plan for revenge had to be postponed until tomorrow, but he was not in a hurry.

Having comprehended the Death Energy Breaking Body Sword Energy, he was even more capable.

At nearly the same time, in the most luxurious teahouse in Wangchun City, the city’s most talented storyteller was eloquently sharing amusing tales of the Martial World.

Despite the storyteller’s skill, many of the audience’s attention was drawn to three people in the teahouse.

Three women.

One woman in a green dress could be described as stunningly beautiful, while the two seated beside her, although with somewhat square faces, were identical twins exuding a strong feminine charm.

They sat in a private room on the second floor, with a window slightly open, continuously attracting the gazes of many men and women.

These three naturally were Peacock, Hua Wen, and Hua Wu.

"Four days now, we have been here for four days, and you still haven’t found him. Is it because the ’hospitality’ you’ve received isn’t deep enough?" Peacock said hauntingly as she sipped her tea.

At the word "hospitality," Hua Wen and Hua Wu trembled all over.

Hua Wu was half mad most of the time, but even a madwoman has an instinctive fear of certain things.

During this time, Peacock had been treating them with inhuman cruelty.

Hanging them upside down and strangling them with a thin thread until their eyes rolled back were among the lighter tortures.

That was what living worse than dying meant.

This was living worse than dying.

Having been heroes for half their lives and consumed Big Medicine for many years, Hua Wen and Hua Wu had never experienced such pain.

Initially, the journey to find Old Demon Duan had been smooth, and through the Jade Sword Stance "Great Medicine Introduction," the sisters had a faint sense of Duan Yun’s location.

But as they approached closer to Wangchun City, this sense grew weaker, often malfunctioning, until now it was almost imperceptible.

During this period, Duan Yun’s swordsmanship had advanced tremendously. Under his cultivation, the "Jade Sword True Understanding" gradually transformed, moving beyond the scope of the original Great Medicine Skills.

He himself thus gradually detached from the concept of Big Medicine, making it exceedingly difficult for Medicine Cultivators like Hua Wen and Hua Wu to locate him.

Even more formidable was the fact that this was only the first transformation of "Jade Sword True Understanding." There may still be a second and third transformation in the future.

The first transformation allowed Jade Sword True Qi to directly turn from illusory to tangible, even overcoming Heavenly Gang, directly causing the Medicine Cultivators Hua Wen and Hua Wu to fall. What about the second time?

Unknown, no one knows, not even Duan Yun himself.

Because how strong his genius could be, even he himself was not clear!
