Chapter 271: Aren’t You Underestimating Us Too Much, Battle Of The Daoists Against the Sword Qi Clone
“I can’t believe this pool of water can cleanse our marrow and make our bone structure better!”
“By the heavens, where did the Sect Leader find such a thing?”
“No wonder it’s called the Marrow Cleansing Pool.”
“This pool is too amazing.”
Everyone was shocked.
They had all heard about things that could improve their bone structures before this. However, this was their first time coming across such a thing, let alone experience it firsthand.
On the left side of the pool.
Jun Yi could sense that the energy of the Marrow Cleansing Pool was continuously surging into her body that had been depleted of spiritual power.
Under the effects of that energy, her bone structure continuously improved.
“With our depleted spiritual power and nothing left inside our bodies, we can better receive the Marrow Cleansing Pool’s energy.”
At that, Jun Yi’s eyes lit up with realization. “No wonder the Sect Leader was drilling us until we were so exhausted. So this is what he intended to do.”
“Cough cough…”
A Daoist who had half of her face sunk into the pond suddenly coughed like she had choked on something and gave Jun Yi a weird look. Then, as if Shang Qingxue and the other Daoists had also thought of something, they too began to blush in embarrassment.
Only then did Jun Yi realize that some of the words she said were inappropriate.
“Um… That’s not what I mean.”
“It’s alright, we understand.”
“What are you girls talking about? I don’t get it.”
“Hmph, are you sure about that, Jin Feiyan? You can stop the act now. We all know that you’re the lewdest among us. I still remember the lustful look on your face when I went to your room the other day and saw you hugging a portrait of our Sect Leader.”
“Ah, since you saw it, I’ll have to strangle you now.”
The girls started to mess with each other in the pool, their voices of laughter rang out clearly.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the pool, Nangong Huang, Murong Xuan, and the other male Daoists almost had a nosebleed as they listened to the sound of their female Daoists messing with each other.
Although Chu Kuangren did set up some barriers that restricted the intrusion of spiritual thoughts in the Marrow Cleansing Pool to prevent the guys from peeping, it was not soundproof.
“I can’t believe these girls are so brave to defile our Sect Leader’s image by fantasizing about him behind his back. Hmph, if they’re so daring, why don’t they come after me instead?”
Daoist Zhuo Han softly uttered.
“Geez… In your dreams.”
The other guys shot him a contemptuous look.
“Say, if we can cleanse our bone marrow just by dipping into this pool, what do you think will happen if we take a sip from it?”
Qin Wushuang suddenly pondered.
“So… You want to drink bathwater?”
Weirded out, Murong Xuan asked.
Qin Wushuang went silent for a while. “Forget I said it.”
“Gulp.”
At this moment, a swallowing sound came from beside everyone.
The few of them looked at Zhuo Han in disbelief.
“Well f*ck me, you really did it.”
“That’s badass.”
“I just felt the need to test it out. Besides, this pool is a valuable resource that can cleanse our bone marrow after all. So what If I took a sip from it?”
Zhuo Han grinned.
“So? What does it taste like?” Qin Wushuang asked excitedly.
“It’s sweet. I can feel the energy of the Marrow Cleansing Pool surging within me even more now. It’s as if something’s going to come out of me.”
Gurgle…
A few bubbles then popped out behind Zhuo Han.
Everyone looked at him, stunned, and Nangong Huang said seriously, “Don’t tell me you just farted.”
Embarrassment was written all over Zhuo Han’s face. “I couldn’t help it… I couldn’t help it…”
“My God! I’m going to kill you!”
“That’s it, I can’t soak inside the Marrow Cleansing Pool anymore.”
When Nangong Huang and the others were about to come out from the pool, Zhuo Han reminded them feebly, “Guys, our Sect Leader has ordered us to soak inside this pool for two hours.”
At that, everyone went silent for a while before they quietly returned to the pool.
Two hours had passed by slowly.
Everyone noticed that the originally clear water had gradually turned slightly murky from the impurities that were discharged from their bodies.
…
Chu Kuangren and Lan Yu returned to the Marrow Cleansing Pool after two hours.
As for the others, they were already dressed by then. After soaking in the Marrow Cleansing Pool for two hours, their bone structures had improved, and all of them looked regenerated.
Chu Kuangren glanced at the Marrow Cleansing Pool and saw the slightly murky water. However, he was not bothered by it as the Marrow Cleansing Pool would automatically dispose of the impurities after a short while. It was quite convenient.
“Very well. Let’s continue our special training.”
Then, Chu Kuangren brought everyone to a valley.
He found a large limestone and sat on it.
His fingers snapped.
A sword qi clone appeared, to which he said, “This sword qi clone contains one-sixtieth of my strength. I don’t care what you do, but you must defeat him within a month.”
‘Huh?’
‘A sword qi clone with one-sixtieth of his strength?’
Nangong Huang and the others all looked at each other.
After all, they were the Daoists of Black Heaven Sect. To have them defeat a sword qi clone with one-sixtieth of Chu Kuangren’s full strength may be a bit of an overkill.
Even those who revered Chu Kuangren greatly also felt that they were being looked down upon.
“Sect Leader, I think you’re underestimating us a bit too much.”
“Give it a go then.”
Chu Kuangren chuckled.
“I’ll try first.”
Nangong Huang stepped forward. Instead of brandishing his Sacred Deep Pool Rainbow Sword, he immediately raised his hand and unleashed a palm attack towards the sword qi clone.
However, the sword qi clone simply raised its hand and launched a sword attack in return.
That incredibly overbearing sword qi instantly shattered Nangong Huang’s Daoist Rhyme and landed mercilessly on his body, blasting him away.
Just like that, Nangong Huang was sent flying as he coughed out blood and broke several of his bones and ligaments as well. Everyone hurriedly went up to him and supported him.
“Are you alright, Nangong?”
“Sect Leader, isn’t that attack just now a little too much?”
Jun Yi looked at the sword qi clone and said in fright.
“Even when hunting the rabbit, a lion will always use its full strength!”
“Nangong, you underestimate your opponent too much. I’ve already told you that this sword qi clone contains one-sixtieth of my full strength, yet you didn’t even bother to use your sword. Are you overestimating your strength or are you underestimating your Sect Leader?” Chu Kuangren slowly walked up to Nangong Huang and said.
Nangong Huang’s face had turned pale and he was terribly embarrassed. “I was too arrogant just now. Sect Leader, please give me another chance.”
Chu Kuangren then raised his hand and cast the Spring Breeze Healing Technique. A soothing gust of wind blew past Nangong Huang’s body and rapidly healed his injuries.
A short while later, Nangong Huang was full of vigor again.
That technique was far more effective than most healing medicinal pills or elixirs.
Only then did everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
‘So that’s why the Sect Leader was so brutal just now, it’s because he has this technique to rely on.’
“I can now clearly tell every one of you that with my Spring Breeze Healing Technique, I can save you guys as long as you’re still alive. That’s why my sword qi clone will not hold back.”
Chu Kuangren explained to everyone with a smile.
Having witnessed Nangong Huang’s injury earlier, everyone could not help but feel a chill run down their spine when they saw Chu Kuangren’s grin.
Although they would not die, they would definitely suffer.
“It’ll attack after ten seconds. Everyone, prepare yourselves. Ten…”
Chu Kuangren started to count down.
“Nine, eight, seven…”
He went back to the large limestone and sat on it. “Six, five…”
With a serious look, Nangong Huang, Murong Xuan, and the others took out their weapons.
“Four, three…”
Daoist Rhyme started to surround their bodies, ready to erupt at any time.
“Two.”
“One!”
The moment the countdown ended, the sword qi clone immediately disappeared from thin air. When it appeared again, it was already in front of Shang Qingxue.
Shang Qingxue was instantly dumbfounded.
‘That’s bullying!’
‘I’m obviously the weakest one here, so why does it have to go after me first?’
Before she could even react, the sword qi clone immediately unleashed a sword qi attack, hitting her unconscious.
“Attack!”
Armed with their swords, Nangong Huang, Murong Xuan, Jun Yi, and the others quickly attacked the sword qi clone.
