Trials of the Abyss

Chapter 68: Earth Flame Technique

Views:

After a one-sided battle, Zhou Qingchen and Han Duping, two old partners, would habitually drink some wine to relax their nerves.

Han Duping asked for a porcelain jar of wine, and the two of them stood in front of the door, drinking and chatting.

After making sure that there were no more enemies alive in the house, Pang Jian turned around and quickly dragged Qiu Li's body over.

As a result, Lin Quanshan's body, which was found dead on the street, was also thrown into Anxin Inn by Pang Jian.

He also wiped the bloodstains where Lin Quanshan had fallen previously, and under the strange gazes of Zhou Qingchen and Han Duping, he also carefully wiped the bloodstains where Qiu Li had fallen.

After doing all this, he washed the blood off his hands at the water tank and said to the two of them, "I'm going to take a rest across the street."

After saying that, he pushed open the door of a shop in front of the two of them, went in and closed the door again.

The two people who were drinking watched his actions silently, watching him drag the corpse back from the street, clean up the blood stains, and then go to the stone building opposite.

Only after he disappeared did Han Duping take a big gulp of wine and sighed, "Is it so difficult to be a hunter in the mountains now?"

Zhou Qingchen smiled in a weird way.

"Not only do you have to be careful and plan your hunt, but you also have to quickly get rid of any clues and be ruthless when you strike. Once you strike, your prey must die."

Han Duping stared at the house that Pang Jian had entered with deep eyes, rubbing his forehead and said distressedly: "Why do I feel like I can't be a competent hunter in this quiet mountain range?"

Hearing this, Zhou Qingchen could no longer laugh and remained silent with a strange look on his face.

He thought of the time when Jian Yaoyang entered the room, and he and Pang Jian suddenly attacked him from the left and right.

He noticed that Pang Jian did not show any panic from beginning to end, and his calm and composed eyes made him feel scared just looking at them.

Afterwards, when Pang Jian saw Jian Yaoyang inhaling the poison powder, he immediately pierced the window panel with his spear, killed one person outside the house first, and then jumped out of the window and killed another female cultivator.

Such a clean and efficient method and such a cold-blooded and ruthless heart made Zhou Qingchen feel frightened when he recalled it now.

—This was also the second time he saw Pang Jian take action.

The first time was outside the pile of rocks when Pang Jian took advantage of the soul-stealing magic sound to assassinate He Ziren. After the battle at the Black Water Pond, he left first and no one knew what happened next.

He was not able to witness with his own eyes the severe damage Pang Jian inflicted on Dong Tianze at the bottom of the pit on the island in the middle of the lake.

This time, he finally saw how terrifying the power Pang Jian displayed when the battle broke out.

"There is a kind of people who are born to be suitable for such big scenes, and are also born to be bloodthirsty and belligerent."

After a while, Zhou Qingchen said with emotion: "Pang Jian might be such a person. Even if he is a hunter in the Cenji Mountains, he is also the king of this forest. The other beasts and hunters will never be able to get any advantage from him."

"I feel better when you say that." Han Duping said speechlessly.

"Have you two finished drinking? Why don't you go into the house and clean up? Don't you want the spiritual stones and property from these people?" Luo Hongyan's cold voice suddenly came from the room.

"Here I come."

"Earth Flame Technique."

In the dim shop, Pang Jian sat in the corner, looking at the magic formula in the light from the window gap, and took out a piece of earth fire stone that was burning hot.

After carefully reading the previous chapters of "Earth Flame Art" several times, Pang Jian decided to practice with the Earth Flame Stone.

He placed the Earth Flame Stone against the spiritual sea in his Dantian and practiced the "Hutian Yangqi Jue" to refine the power within it. He soon felt spiritual power mixed with wisps of blazing power like flames quietly appearing in his Dantian.

At this time, he condensed the power of earth fire in his own Dantian spiritual sea using the method recorded in the "Earth Flame Art".

The spiritual energy flowed smoothly into the spiritual sea below as usual.

Along with the spiritual energy, the earth fire power from the Earth Fire Stone was absorbed, and it seemed to transform into a bunch of slender flaming meteors, shooting from above the dantian into the spiritual sea below.

In the vast spiritual sea, there is a small area that actively dissipates spiritual power outward to welcome the fall of the fiery meteor.

Then, wisps of earth fire power gathered together and gradually formed a small fire pool in the spiritual sea.

Compared to the size of his spiritual sea, the Flame Pool only occupies a very small part and is only used to contain the power of the earth fire and to prepare for the subsequent operation of the spell.

One piece, two pieces, three pieces.

Soon, Pang Jian drained all the earth fire power from the seven earth fire stones and injected it all into the small fire pool that had just been created.

Afterwards, he took out the "Earth Flame Art" and turned to the next chapter.

"laugh!"

With a thought, the flame power in the flame pool was connected by the two meridians below the spiritual sea and in series with the palm.

Then, wisps of red flame energy mixed with green spiritual energy flowed through his meridians.

"First fast, then slow, rolling back and gathering, gathering momentum before launching."

Pang Jian circulated the flame power in the manner recorded above.

Wisps of slender red flames, wrapped up in his spiritual power, flew through the meridians in his arms.

The flame power sometimes flew towards the palm, sometimes gradually slowed down, and suddenly rolled back violently, mixing with the flame power and spiritual power surging from behind, forming an even more violent momentum.

The flame force of the "Earth Flame Art" penetrates the palm of the hand, which is not achieved overnight or in one go.

When it escaped into the palm of the hand, it rolled back several times, trying to condense the power from behind into one force, and finally explode with an incomparably violent momentum.

Pang Jian tried again and again, rolling back the flame power in waves, merging it into more concentrated flame power and spiritual power.

“Wow!”

There was also a faint smell of lava sulfur in the room.

"Earth Flame Technique!"

Pang Jian stood up suddenly.

The power of this spell, which contains special properties, is so astonishingly powerful that it is much stronger than the power unleashed by simply guiding spiritual energy.

At this moment, he couldn't help but think of the scene where Zhou Qingchen used his attacking and killing skills to reveal a small red mountain.

And the man from the Lieyang Sect before, it seemed like a miniature sun suddenly appeared in the palm of his hand, which should be an offensive technique similar to the "Earth Flame Art".

"The flame power is still running too slowly. I am not proficient at it now, and it takes too long to brew a flame power explosion."

He soon realized that he was not familiar with the new way of operating the "Earth Flame Art" and the reversal of the flame force was too slow.

He had to practice repeatedly countless times to fully adapt to this new way of exerting force, so that the flame force could instantly burst out in his palms with just a thought.

“Boom boom!”

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and then Luo Hongyan's voice came: "It's me, let me in."

Pang Jian frowned. He didn't hear any footsteps, which meant that Luo Hongyan had been standing outside for a while, waiting for him to blast the cupboard with fire power before knocking on the door.

"The door is unlocked."

Pang Jian said in a cold tone.

"oh."

Luo Hongyan pushed open the door and smelled a faint smell of lava sulfur after entering the room. She was surprised and said, "Can the power of earth flame burst out so quickly?"

As she spoke, she closed the door and threw a cloth bag at Pang Jian in the dim room.

"This is not a storage bag. There are some spirit stones in it. They are what you deserve."

Luo Hongyan pulled the corner of her mouth and said disdainfully: "Seven poor guys, I have never seen such shabby guys, their belongings combined are not worth much, no wonder they are willing to take such a risk."

Pang Jian took the bag and found that there were only about twenty spiritual stones in it. He was surprised and asked, "Is that all?"

"Well, they probably have trouble being self-sufficient. They may not even be willing to use spiritual stones during normal training. They brought all their belongings with them on this adventure so that they can use spiritual stones to replenish their strength in time when they are in danger."

Luo Hongyan frowned and shook her head regretfully: "I have searched all of them, but there is nothing I can show you. They are all simple methods taught by the Galaxy Alliance. They are not suitable for you."

Pang Jian moved all the spirit stones into his storage bag without saying anything else.

"Pang Jian, I really have no ill will towards you, please believe me."

Luo Hongyan suddenly said.

Pang Jian looked at her indifferently.

"On the island, when I was trapped in the Tianling Tower, you rescued me in time. I fought for those things for you because you didn't abandon me like you abandoned Ning Yao at the Black Water Pond."

After leaving these words, Luo Hongyan walked out again without waiting for Pang Jian's response.

It wasn't until she was outside the door that she said, "Get ready. We should continue on our way."

The sea of nothingness.

Ning Yao, who had been imprisoned in the dark and had not spoken for a long time, stared at the stunningly beautiful red figure and said, "You took great pains to get close to him just for the bronze plate on his chest. Why do you have to gain his recognition and trust?"

Luo Hongyan glanced at her and shook her head: "You don't understand anything."

Ning Yao frowned: "Now that we have entered this city, we can just find a way to get the bronze medal. Why bother racking our brains to do something useless?"

"I have been considering whether I should completely take over your body and walk the world in your body."

Luo Hongyan smiled.

Ning Yao was shocked and dared not say another word.

"Be good, don't bother me anymore."

Luo Hongyan snorted lightly.

She recalled the days hundreds of years ago when she practiced in the upper sect.

In that now-defunct sect, all she experienced was intrigue, framing, and betrayal.

The person she thought was her best friend was just coveting her beauty, but after she clearly rejected him, he changed his face to one that was unfamiliar to her and did the most shameless things.

Now, the mode of getting along with Pang Jian, Su Meng, Zhou Qingchen and others in a different identity is something she has never experienced in her life.

She could sense that although they were a little wary of her, they did not deliberately want to harm each other, nor did they care too much about the distribution of materials.

The few of them trusted each other and talked and chatted casually. As a young man, Zhou Qingchen was not arrogant at all and did not think highly of himself.

Compared to that cold and cruel sect and the dirty and disgusting things done among their fellow disciples, this weak team made her feel novel and relaxed.
