Chapter 29: Overcoming the Odds

As the blade flashed, a figure appeared. Tang Wei's blade was now just a foot above Chu Xiaotian's head. "Sword Draw Technique!" Chu Xiaotian could not underestimate this attack. It posed a great threat, and without utilizing his sword intent and supreme suppression, he would find it difficult to resist. After all, he was only at the third realm of Lingyuan, but all these were irrelevant because Chu Xiaotian possessed such abilities.

"Break!" With a slash, his sword intent augmented the strike, and the sword light seemed to cut through ten, a hundred, a thousand times, continuously striking Tang Wei's flaming blade. "Blocked it?" The flames gradually dissipated, leaving no trace.

"Again." Tang Wei's face darkened as he scoffed and drew his sword again. This strike was even more terrifying, with flames more vigorous, like a volcanic eruption, setting the entire forest ablaze. His cultivation at the seventh realm of Lingyuan was fully displayed.

"Mountain Fire Blade." This strike was not just full of flames but also gave Chu Xiaotian a sense of overwhelming weight, as if a mountain was pressing down, making even his breathing heavier.

"Heavy Sword Technique." Faced with this attack, Chu Xiaotian roared. The sword intent fully amplified, stacking fifteen times, and the supreme suppression made Tang Wei's body tremble, his mind momentarily dazed.

As Tang Wei's flaming sword light weakened, Chu Xiaotian seized the opportunity. "Break!" With this strike, Chu Xiaotian seemed to lift a great mountain and smash it down on Tang Wei.

"No!" By the time Tang Wei regained his focus, the sword was already before him, blocking all escape. Seeing this fatal strike, Tang Wei screamed in horror and anger, as spiritual energy shields formed in front of him.

"Clang, clang, clang!" The sword light continuously shattered the shields, layer by layer... "Die!" Chu Xiaotian's eyes surged with cold light, and his face paled as he launched his supreme suppression and mental intimidation again.

Finally, Tang Wei could not withstand this force and was sent flying by Chu Xiaotian's sword. It was the natural suppression and mental dual attack that overpowered him. Chu Xiaotian before him was terrifying!

"Die!" Tang Wei heavily fell to the ground, coughing up blood. Without giving him a chance to live, Chu Xiaotian finished him off and took his life.

"Let's go!" Taking all the treasures from the five bodies, Chu Xiaotian left with the Bloodthirsty War Pig. The area, thick with the smell of blood, would soon attract beasts, erasing the traces of battle. As for how Tang Wei and his companions died, no one would know.

Chu Xiaotian wasn't worried about being discovered but preferred to avoid trouble. "Some good items here." He left the site of the battle and opened their bags, finding treasures for cultivation, all unused.

"Ding! Host, do you wish to convert these into points?" The system asked. "Can't you wait, system? I haven't even seen what's in here." "Ding! System products are the best, everything else is trash!" The system retorted, leaving Chu Xiaotian speechless.

"Although they are good, I can't afford them," Chu Xiaotian said, making the system speechless again. "This is good." Chu Xiaotian found a martial skill, {Nine Waves Fist}, a high-grade yellow-level technique with a detailed description.

Nine Waves Fist had nine levels, each adding nine hidden forces, stacking like waves, with a total of eighty-one layers and forces, overwhelming the opponent. "Why so narcissistic?" Chu Xiaotian smirked at the description. "No need to exchange it from the system, saving some points."

"System, convert the rest into points." Chu Xiaotian ordered. "Ding! Conversion successful, host has 30,000 points." Chu Xiaotian was satisfied with the 10,000 points gained. "Why can't Nine Waves Fist be enhanced?" He asked, unable to enhance the skill through the system.

"Ding! As Nine Waves Fist was not obtained from the system, the host must cultivate it himself." The system seemed sulky. "Petty." Chu Xiaotian muttered, resigning to cultivate on his own. "Humph, insult the system again, and 10,000 points will be deducted," the system threatened.

Chu Xiaotian sighed, feeling the roles reversed. Wasn't the system supposed to follow the host's commands? Frustrated, he didn't dare voice his complaints, fearing point deductions.

After some time, Chu Xiaotian's stomach rumbled. "Time to deal with the Bloodthirsty War Pig." He smiled and stopped his cultivation. His stay in the wilderness had turned him

 into a glutton for good food. "Let's go."
