Chapter 8: The Fourth Strike of the Swallow’s Return Three Sabers

Xiao Jie relayed Ning Xuan’s words to Zhang Erquan exactly as he had said them, not a word more, not a word less, without any emotion, but with the most formulaic attitude and the most respectful tone.

Zhang Erquan was not surprised at all, but nodded and said, “Good.”

Young Master, fishing for three days and drying the nets for two, today was exactly the third day.

He had originally thought that the young master had been stimulated this time, otherwise why would he have persisted for so long? He didn’t expect that he had thought too much, the young master was still the same young master.

In the afternoon…

Under the waterfall in the valley on the side of the Ning family’s mountain villa.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The ten-foot-tall “monster” slammed the trunks of nine large trees into the not-so-deep pool below, then leaped up, muttering to himself.

“Knees slightly bent like a swallow perching on a branch, center of gravity flowing with the momentum of the saber.

Form as solid as a mountain, spirit soaring far away, will like a light feather skimming the water.”

The “monster” recited, then grabbed a similarly huge long-handled saber.

This kind of saber, the blade and the handle were of similar length, totaling about ten feet, and was called a “Beast-Slaying Saber.” This saber was similar to the Mo Dao and Zhan Ma Jian from Ning Xuan’s previous life.

Since he knew that he might go out to practice, Ning Xuan would naturally not wait until the last minute to prepare.

He had already prepared.

The Ning residence had many secret cellars in the surrounding area, which stored some easy-to-preserve dried meat and fresh water. As the young master, he naturally knew a few of the hidden locations.

So, a few days ago, he found an opportunity to place a weapon suitable for him in one of the cellars.

At this time, Ning Xuan was already holding the Beast-Slaying Saber and was running back and forth on the tree stumps under the waterfall, taking three steps forward and three steps back.

The waterfall cascaded down like ten thousand horses falling off a cliff, with a great impact, no less than the slipperiness of tung oil.

However, his current constitution was a full 3.7, which had raised his reaction, physique, and speed to an incredible level, surpassing that of a normal human.

He was a little careful at first, but as he practiced, he found that practicing the “Swallow’s Return Secret Step” with this constitution was simply extremely easy!

He soon walked as if flying, like a ferocious beast darting under the waterfall. The bulging muscles and the skin thicker than a rhinoceros’s made his figure exude a fearsome aura.

After practicing for a while, he suddenly stomped on a tree stump, and his whole body flew down and landed in the pool, splashing water everywhere.

He lifted a huge rock from the water, put it in a rope net and carried it on his back, using it as a substitute for a sandbag, then flew up and stepped on the tree stump again, and continued to practice.

He practiced for a whole afternoon.

At dusk, Ning Xuan’s huge body lay on his back on the ground by the waterfall.

He released the Heavenly Demon Record.

His figure immediately shrank by two circles.

However, the results of his training were still there.

Through this strange method, he had made his body endure training that it could not have endured before, but at the same time, he had also enjoyed the benefits of this training.

Perhaps, for the Ning Xuan with a constitution of 3.7, this training was not much, and could only be considered a little progress, but this little progress was enough to make the Ning Xuan with a constitution of 1.0 advance by leaps and bounds.

He glanced at the panel.

[Life (Constitution): 1.1]

[Mountain-Crashing Bear] (Can provide an additional 2.65 Life attribute when summoned)

After only half a day of training, his constitution had directly increased by 0.1.

However, the bonus that [Mountain-Crashing Bear] could provide had changed from “2.7” to “2.65”.

He thought for a moment, comparing the values before and after, and immediately got the answer.

The bonus of the “Heavenly Demon Record” was divided into two intervals.

For the part within his constitution, the bonus would be halved, and for the part that exceeded his constitution, it would be directly added.

Assuming that his own constitution reached the same 3.2 as the Mountain-Crashing Bear, then the power that the Mountain-Crashing Bear could provide him would become 1.6.

And assuming that his own constitution exceeded 3.2, perhaps the power that the Mountain-Crashing Bear could provide would be further reduced.

In other words, demons weaker than him could not provide much of a bonus.

At night.

In the house, the candlelight was blown out, and then Xiao Jie’s giggles were heard.

“Young Master, don’t.”

After a long time…

The laughter changed, with a bit of surprise.

Then the surprise turned into a plea…

“Young Master! No more, really no more! I beg you!”

After a long, long time…

Xiao Jie’s crying voice was heard.

Ning Xuan’s mood was very calm.

Although it was only a “0.1” increase, it made him feel that his qi and blood were much more abundant. This made him feel an itch in his body, and he had to vent it, otherwise it would be difficult to fall asleep.

And just now, he had added a little burden to Xiao Jie’s daily work.

Although it was difficult for Xiao Jie, she still completed it, but now she was so tired that she was crying.

“From tomorrow on, you will receive an extra ten taels a month,” Ning Xuan said.

Xiao Jie sniffled and said, “In the young master’s eyes, is this servant girl so fond of money?”

“Then how much do you want to add?” Ning Xuan asked.

Xiao Jie became quiet.

She wanted to be promoted, she wanted to be a concubine!

“Hmph!”

She snorted angrily, turned her body, and said with her back to Ning Xuan, “Not a single cent more!”

Ning Xuan said in surprise, “Really not adding any?”

Xiao Jie’s heart was bleeding, but she still gritted her teeth and said, “The young master knows me, this servant girl doesn’t like money.”

“Let’s sleep first,” Ning Xuan said. “I have to go and gather inspiration tomorrow.”

After a long time…

The air was quiet.

Just as Ning Xuan was about to fall asleep, Xiao Jie’s voice suddenly came from his ear.

“Young Master, really not adding any?”

“An extra ten taels a month,” Ning Xuan replied.

Xiao Jie bargained, “Fifteen taels, when this servant girl has saved enough money, I will go to a distant place!”

“Fifteen taels it is. Anyway, I won’t be able to give it to you for long, you’re going to a distant place soon. My Ning family can afford this little money,” Ning Xuan yawned and said, “Let’s sleep.”

For several days in a row.

Ning Xuan continued to practice secretly as usual.

In spring, there were actually many poisonous snakes and ferocious beasts.

But since this small mountain-like “monster” came to the waterfall, the surrounding wild beasts and poisonous insects had quietly “moved away.”

Animals have a sense of territory. If an enemy invades their territory, they will attack. But if this enemy exudes an aura that is completely invincible, they will “move.”

Ning Xuan felt that his progress was getting slower and slower, and finally slowly settled at “[Life (Constitution): 1.4]”.

And the attribute that [Mountain-Crashing Bear] could provide had also changed from the initial “2.7” to “2.5,” which once again confirmed his previous guess.

As for the strongest killing move of the “Wind-Chasing Swallow Saber” that Zhang Erquan had mentioned – the Swallow’s Return Three Sabers, he had completely mastered it.

No!

It couldn’t be said that he had mastered it.

Because, he had also comprehended a fourth strike.

This strike could only be used when he summoned the Heavenly Demon Record.

[Innate Demonic Art: Bear Crushing the Mountain Peak: Its speed is like the wind. The faster it is, the more ferocious its momentum. A single blow can shatter a human’s physique.]

Under the Swallow’s Return Secret Step, his speed would instantly increase a lot.

This meant that he could use his saber to perform “Bear Crushing the Mountain Peak” at any time.

And this was his fourth strike.

It combined agility, speed, and terrifying power.

He named it…

Flying Swallow Crushing the Mountain Peak.
