Chapter 506: Chapter 84: Night Blade’s Three Styles [Request for Monthly Votes!]_1

The commotion among the demon beasts continued for a while before they were once again suppressed. Among the demonic cultivators of the White Bone Hall, there were plenty of experts, so dealing with these demon beasts wasn’t much of a problem.

But with the surprise, the disturbance they caused wasn’t small, and they were worried that it might attract the attention of the Night Blade Sect. Only Chu Liang and his two companions knew that there was no need to worry about this at all.

Shu Mountain Sect, Yunque Temple, Sanjue Valley, Regent Residence... So many big shots were watching, having one more Night Blade Sect wasn’t a big deal.

As Chu Liang was sitting cross-legged and recuperating, he immersed his Divine Sense back into the White Pagoda.

Having just killed that enormous bear, there was an additional golden mark in the tower. Now that he was idle, it’s the perfect time to reward himself in this frozen world.

Boom--

Pressing the "Refine" character, a red light flashed, a process he was extremely familiar with. However, no matter how many times you do the same thing, it’s always exciting.

What landed in his hand was a piece of heavy, white radiance.

[White Bear Cloak]: When draped over oneself in a snowy land, it can completely hide one’s figure and breath in the snow without any flaws. Note, this cloak only works in snowy areas.

It was a cloak for hiding.

Chu Liang stroked this heavy cloak covered in a large patch of white fur a few times, then put it away. The condition of only being able to be used in snow was somewhat restrictive, but if it can perfectly hide him in the snow, the effect would be very impressive.

Although ordinary escape techniques or illusions could perfectly blend one’s figure into the terrain, it’s hard to blend one’s breath as well. Once examined carefully by a cultivator, they would always notice something was off.

However, the effect of this cloak seemed to be that once he covered himself with this white fabric, he would completely disappear in the snow.

But he couldn’t test the effect now, so he wasn’t quite sure about the strength.

While he was still thinking, a disturbance arose outside, even more intense than before.

Chu Liang immediately opened his eyes and stood up asking, "What’s happening?"

Monk Pu Shan looked around with furrowed brows and replied, "Hundred Ghosts Night Walk!"

Boom--

A huge wave of negative energy came rolling over from afar, engulfing these few peaks outside Sealed Cliff Mountain indiscriminately. The wailing of the ghosts in the wave was endless, with countless ghostly creatures surging.

More than a hundred ghosts, they were tens of thousands...innumerable!

"Granny Meng!" Gui Lian’er’s complexion became solemn, "It must be her!"

Even though the people of the Underworld King Sect didn’t know where the corpse of her son was hidden, they knew that it was suppressed in Sealed Cliff Mountain. So they blockaded the surrounding area, just waiting for her to walk into the trap herself.

They thought she might try to sneak up the mountain, but they didn’t expect her to make such a big commotion!

If they thought about it, the multitude of arctic beasts that ended their hibernation early must have been Granny Meng’s doing as well. She wanted to disturb the defenses here and seize the opportunity to go to Sealed Cliff Mountain.

In a flash of thought, a large cloud of black fog had already spread over, and the terrifying ghosts on the edge of the black fog stuck out their hands and feet, echoing with terrifying screams and wails that shook one’s soul.

"In such a short period of time, how did she summon so many ghosts!" Monk Pu Shan exclaimed.

"There’s no need for a special summons. That treasure she carries would attract a large number of ghosts if not sealed." Gui Lian’er said, "They’re but mere ghosts. Everyone should block off a section of the area and not let them pass!"

"Yes!"

At his command, the three imps flew off to different directions, spreading out to defend a section of the mountain area.

Although these ghostly creatures seemed daunting in number, a closer look revealed that none of them had high cultivation. Most were wandering ghosts, with at most creatures like apparitions, specters, and phantoms. There were very few Resentful Spirits, which were quite a high level of existence, so they weren’t hard to deal with.

Chu Liang arrived at the western mountain pass and watched the wave of ghostly creatures, feeling rather excited instead.

It was another great harvest.

But just as he was preparing to start harvesting the ghostly creatures, a black shadow suddenly fell from a distance.

...

"I was wondering why the evil spirits were rampant here, turns out it’s you demonic cultivators again."

The newcomer was a somewhat slender young man, with black hair and eyes that gleamed alarmingly in the night. He was dressed in all black, which made him stand out in the snowy field.

Chu Liang found this man somewhat familiar, and immediately remembered that during the Shu Mountain Peak Conference, a young hero from the Night Blade Sect named Guo Zhanlei had come to pay his respects.

The young man in front of him greatly resembled Guo Zhanlei, he could be his twin brother named Guo Zhanfeng.

But why did he happen to run into him?

You ignore all the other demonic cultivators and just pin down on me, who is an undercover for the righteous path... Thinking about this, Chu Liang hesitated. Suddenly, he remembered that three out of the four demonic cultivators on the mountain were undercover for the righteous path, so the likelihood of him encountering a real demonic cultivator was not high.

Sigh.

But the black snowfall in the sky signifies that the Underworld King Sect Master might monitor this area at any moment. Unable to reveal his identity directly, he had to speak in the tone of a real demonic cultivator. He asked, "Where did this thieving youngster come from to obstruct our Underworld King Sect’s actions? Do you know that our Sect Master is right here?"

He said this hoping that Guo Zhanfeng would retreat, realizing the difficulty, or go back and inform his sect elders not to act recklessly.

Who knew that upon hearing this, Guo Zhanfeng’s eyes focused. "Are you trying to scare me?"

Is he angry now?

I’m warning you.

Chu Liang helplessly spread his hands, saying, "I’m just warning you to leave this place quickly!"

"I’m Guo Zhanfeng, you go back and ask around." The young man fixed his gaze on Chu Liang. "I’m not someone who gets shaken easily!"

Saying that, he was already rushing over!

Why is he resorting to action just at the mention of it...

Chu Liang had no choice but to guard carefully. Comparing to the ghost chaos he saw earlier, the present Guo Zhanfeng was clearly more dangerous.

Although he didn’t hold a knife when he dashed over, Chu Liang remembered Gui Lian’er’s previous warning.

"The so-called Night Blade’s Three Styles are the three most commonly used moves in the Night Blade Sect. Of these, the first one is Hidden Blade!"

"At the Night Blade Sect, the first thing they learn is the Hidden Blade. It seems like they hold no blade in their hands, but they could draw out a long knife at any time and catch the enemy off guard. Even if they are naked, they could instantly pull out a long knife! It’s simply unguardable!"

"..."

Chu Liang remembered this and did not approach Guo Zhanfeng. But he couldn’t wield his Dustless Sword conveniently either and had to dodge swiftly.

Just as Guo Zhanfeng was closing in, his right hand was raised, and hiss ——

Sure enough, a sharp knife light was emitted from somewhere. When his right hand went down, a frightening Black Long Knife was already present in his hand!

Thankfully, Chu Liang was prepared. He sidestepped and only then did he narrowly avoid getting cleaved by this slashing knife light!

Normally, there is a process of raising your hand to wield a weapon from a Magical Storage Tool, but this hidden blade technique of the Night Blade Sect seems to be hidden in the void and arrives instantly.

If Chu Liang hadn’t been prepared, he might have really been cut!

But once the knife was out, the threat wasn’t as huge. Chu Liang flipped his body and landed a whip kick on the side of the blade, then shoving Guo Zhanfeng back with a palm.

Boom ——

The fists and palms clashed and both retreated several yards.

The huge force in Chu Liang’s palm startled Guo Zhanfeng. Was this demonic cultivator a Martial Artist or a Body Cultivator? Why was the force of a casual palm from him akin to a demon beast?

With questions in his heart, Guo Zhanfeng sheathed his long knife again and said, "Since your cultivation is not weak, wait here if you dare. I shall return with my fellow disciples."

"I would be happy to." Chu Liang answered indifferently.

Guo Zhanfeng sheathed his knife and seemed to be leaving. But Chu Liang fixed his gaze unblinkingly on his silhouette.

Gui Lian’er’s words were echoing.

"The second move of Night Blade’s Three Styles is Sheathing the knife. The Night Blade Sect disciples are incredibly cunning. Often in a battle, they will withdraw the knife and cease attacking, making you think that they want to withdraw. But just as you let down your guard, their brutal attack will come crashing down!"

"..."

Just at the moment where Guo Zhanfeng turned as if to leave, the ground beneath Chu Liang suddenly shook. A rumbling whirl of black wind burst forth, and all Chu Liang had time to see was a huge gaping mouth!

Thankfully, he had been on high alert all along and was able to knock the black wind away with a quick slap.

Thud ——

The black shadow flipped a few times before quickly scrambling up, and Chu Liang could now see it was a sleek black evil dog, its eyes flickering with black fire. It was clearly no ordinary beast.

While Chu Liang was attacked by the evil dog, Guo Zhanfeng spun around suddenly, covered the distance of several yards instantly, and a heavy and powerful slash of a knife came howling in!

So the essence of the Night Blade’s Three Styles was similar, only four words could describe it...

Dishonorable Surprise Attack!
