Eternal Honor
Chapter 9: The ambush

After reaching the fifth rank on the Red Jade Technique, Li Fuchen's cultivation was enhanced. He could feel the growth day after day.With this growth speed, it would take another 7 or 8 months to break through to the sixth level of the Qi Realm.

For others, this cultivation spike was fast, but for Li Fuchen, it was still too slow.

"If I had the accessories of a martial artist, it would help increase the speed of my cultivation."

Such accessories usually have energy crystals that help unite the energies of heaven and earth. Although the effect was weak, it was consistent. Whereas what Li Fuchen wanted, was actually accessories with high-end crystals, so the impact was better.

Li Fuchen did not plan to ask his parents for financial assistance. He felt that the sky was good enough to give him a golden talisman. If he still needed someone else to help him, he would be too useless.

The only option to earn more gold coins was to hunt demon beasts and search for herbs.

Li Fuchen walked to the Misty Mountains on another road.

What he did not expect was that this path was too safe, not even a savage beast was in sight. It is the same for herbal plants as well.

Unknowingly, Li Fuchen discovered a small lake.

At the edge of the lake, the weeds grew as tall as Li Fuchen's waist. Just ten meters away, Li Fuchen saw a huge rock, on top of which was a grayish-white plant stem.it glittered under the scorching sun.

Stone Heart Plant!" Li Fuchen "narrowed his eyes.

The Stone Heart Plant was a high grade yellow potion, one stalk was worth about 200 gold coins. They usually grow on rocks that are full of minerals. After reading through many herbology books, this was the first time Li Fuchen had seen her since she was born into this world.

"I have to take this." Li Fuchen's eyes twinkled.

The Stone Heart Plant could help strengthen one's bone skeleton. Compared to humans, the reason why animal skins were harder and stronger than bones.

Pulling his steel sword, Li Fu Chen carefully approached the Heart Stone plant.

The roar!!

As Li Fu Chen was 10 meters away from the Stone Heart plant, a trail of blood-red shadows shot out from the bush like a storm and twisted all the shrubs and leaves.

First Wind Sword!" ("That clear note: The sword movement of the Wind Sword Style is fast)

Without fear, Li Fuchen's sword flashed through the air, followed by a stream of blood.

Bumped!

The blood red shadow fell over ten meters due to inertia. Blood is seen spurting from a puncture located in the throat.

The Blood Shadow Leopard, among the middle-class Class 1 monsters, its speed exceeded the others. He likes to hunt alone. Although it might not be a rival for a mid-level Grade 1st Steel Conferred Wolf or a Metal Claw Wolf, none of those ferocious beasts could match the speed of the Blood Shadow Beetle Tiger.

But his speed was useless in front of Li Fuchen's Fast Wind Sword Style, as his speed could not be countered by it.

Squatting on the side of the Heart Stone plant, Li Fuchen was captivated by its beauty.

As if as it was ripe, the grayish-white plant emitted a white light that carried the scent of freshly cooked rice.

Carefully taking out the Heart Stone plant, he quickly stored it in the jade box to prevent the loss of energy.

...****************...

In the bush deep in the forest.

"Brain, Sixth Old, guess who I saw?"

(Note: Sixth old - The Chinese way of calling someone with the rank or position of sixth place)

The archer nimbly climbed over the tree, took a quick look at the lake and asked his friend below.

"Who is that?" A bald and skinny man asked curiously.

"Young Li Clan master, Li Fuchen."

"Li Fu Chen?" The skinny man replied in surprise, "A weakling like him dares to come to the Misty Mountains?"

these 3 people were the supreme guards of the Yang Clan, and because of their gambling habits, they were always short of money. Occasionally, they came to the Misty Mountains to seek profit from their hobbies.

Just as Li Fuchen was about to turn around after storing the jade box...

Gosh

A sharp whistle sounded as if the air was being pierced.

"An ambush." Li Fuchen sensed danger. Even before the voice reached his ears, he started an evasive action and rolled around on the ground. Just as his body left where he was standing, an arrow shot out from the bushes and struck deep into the ground.

Shoot, fire!

Li Fuchen did not stop rolling for a moment, there were 2 arrows stuck deep into the ground. The ambush is an archer aiming at the trajectory of his movement. Had he not been a little faster, he would have already died.

After releasing 3 arrows in a row, the archer picked up the fruit to eat. He expected Li Fuchen to die.

"Box, Old Sixth, bring the body here!" The archer signals them.

"You're really easy.." The bald man laughed and spoke with irony. He then headed to the lake with the skinny-looking man.

...****************...

Among the tall grass, Li Fuchen raised his head hurriedly, looking at which direction the arrow was coming from. 60 or 70 meters away, a bald and skinny man was walking towards it.

With his incredible senses, he estimated that the bald man was an eighth level Qi Realm, whereas the skinny man was around the Qi Realm at the seventh level.

A glint of coldness was visible in Li Fuchen's eyes, he slipped out like a silent python towards the skinny man on the right.

"I have to take one of them first."

50 meters... 40... 30...

Just then the distance of the skinny man dropped to 30 meters. Li Fuchen lay motionless, with the distance not too far away, they would never find that Li Fuchen was present. If someone doesn't look there.

Practicing for 2 days in the Misty Mountains, Li Fuchen slowly understood his natural talent. Hence, he could now control his presence. On the other hand, it could also be because of the golden talisman that gave him this gift.

The weed was at least 1 meter tall and it helped to camouflage Li Fuchen perfectly. With the sword hilt in his right hand, he waited for the skinny man to approach.

10 Meters, 5... 3.

"Yes.now!"

Li Fu Chen jumped off the ground. A bright sun reflected from the sword and blinded the skinny-looking man.

The swish!

A cold sensation was felt on his neck, with his eyes still wide open. The skinny man fell down and looked towards the sky.

"Old sixth!"

The bald man shouted and then attacked Li Fuchen.

The full powered slash of an eighth level expert of the Qi Realm would easily split a Cla.s.s 1 middle-tier beast, let alone Li Fuchen.However, Li Fuchen was not a ferocious beast, he was much more terrifying than that. Ferocious beasts were not as nimble as him, their sense of attack was unlike Li Fuchen, who could easily discern the trajectory of the bald man's attack.

Since Li Fuchen was only at the fifth level of the Qi Realm, even if he could predict the trajectory of the attack, there was no choice to fight back. He could only dodge non-stop.

Swoshis!

A patch of green grass was cut in half. The attack skill of the bald fighter was not bad, after not being able to slash at Li Fuchen, he turned his attack into a horizontal slash.

Li Fuchen had long anticipated this and immediately reacted.

"It's a very boy!"

The bald fighter refocused himself after understanding that Li Fu Chen's direct battle experience was higher than his.This was not something that a practitioner at the fifth level of the Qi Realm could display .
