From breaking the limits of archery to achieving martial arts godhood

Broken Soul Peak, this name was given by Song Tianxing.

This mountain originally had no name. It was given this name to commemorate the brothers from the medicine gang who died here.

Many powerful members of the Medicine Clan died on this mountain during that struggle for that spiritual herb.

These deceased were all martial artists in the Bone Forging Realm who were over 30 years old.

That's the foundation of the Medicine Clan. Although their cultivation levels can't break through, their years of honing their martial arts have allowed most of them to reach the minor mastery level, and some have even reached the major mastery level.

If they were to fight to the death with disciples of the Medicine Clan who were at the same level, these older generation Bone Forging Realm warriors would surely win in the end.

Normally, the Medicine Gang wouldn't transfer them out of the gang, but that operation was really important.

Once the Blood Hand Gang has completely seized all the spiritual herbs, it will be the Medicine Gang that disappears today, not the Blood Hand Gang.

Back to the present, when the Wind Blade Hall group arrived at Broken Soul Peak, the sky was already tinged with sunset, and the surroundings were shrouded in darkness.

Seeing this, Song Que did not rush up the mountain, but instead found an open space near the foot of the mountain and arranged for his men to start setting up tents.

There are designated people responsible for carrying the tents. Each team has six tents, which are carried by two team members.

Two team members share one tent, while the team leader lives in a separate tent.

As for Song Que and Song Wuqing, they each had their own tent.

Their tents are carried by designated people.

Everyone worked quickly, setting up the tents and lighting a campfire before it got completely dark, and scattering insect repellent powder around the area.

The pharmacy has pharmacists who specialize in researching deworming powders, and the effects are much better than ordinary deworming powders.

Not long after it was sprinkled, you could hear a lot of rustling sounds, which were the sounds of snakes, insects, and rodents being forced to flee.

Chen Xun had excellent eyesight and could see the dense, eerie swarms of insects crawling on the ground in the darkness.

There were also some small snakes, about the thickness of a thumb, wriggling around, which made Chen Xun frown.

Fortunately, these things disappeared completely in no time, allowing Chen Xun to breathe a sigh of relief.

These things can't hurt him, but they're disgusting.

Chen Xun was assigned to share a tent with a person named Song Xue.

The man's name was somewhat feminine, but his appearance was very masculine: a large beard, leopard eyes, a cow nose, abundant body hair, and a tall stature.

Chen Xun felt that this person shouldn't be called Song Xue; Song Jingang would be more appropriate.

Furthermore, this person was quite talkative, and he was often the one to start the conversation when grilling meat with Chen Xun.

The meat was naturally cut from wild animals killed on the road.

After they got to know each other better, Chen Xun jokingly brought up the matter of names.

Unexpectedly, the other person stared wide-eyed at Chen Xun and blurted out, "My father's name is Song Jingang."

"It snowed when I was born, and my father already had my older brother before I was born, so he wanted a daughter. Therefore, before I was even born, he named me Song Xue."

Chen Xun was stunned for a long time after hearing this.

What a coincidence!

After this incident, the two became closer.

After finishing the barbecue, Song Que began to arrange the night watch.

This is the middle of nowhere, and the howls of wild animals are constant. Keeping watch at night is a very important task, and we cannot be careless in the slightest.

Chen Xun and Song Xue were assigned to work the night shift from 1 a.m. to 3 a.m., after which they could rest.

Along with them was another group of people.

Each time, two teams of four people are on night duty, which lasts for two hours.

Anyway, there are a lot of people coming this time, so we have enough manpower to allocate.

So Chen Xun and Song Xue went to bed early.

The tent wasn't big; it was barely big enough to fit two large men.

The two of them were covered in sweat from walking, and in the enclosed space, the smell was quite strong.

Chen Xun quickly opened the tent door to let in some fresh air, and gradually got used to it.

Song Xue, on the other hand, fell into a deep sleep less than a minute after lying down, snoring loudly.

Chen Xun looked at Song Xue, who was sleeping soundly, somewhat speechless.

Of course, Chen Xun also fell asleep quickly. After adjusting his breathing for three minutes amidst Song Xue's chainsaw-like snoring, he also drifted off to sleep.

I slept until I naturally woke up.

When Chen Xun woke up, he found that it wasn't his turn to work the night shift yet.

Since lying down was boring anyway, Chen Xun carefully stood up in the tent and practiced his breathing technique.

He had been practicing for some time by the time someone called him to take his shift.

"Song Xue, wake up, it's time for your shift."

Chen Xun woke Song Xue up.

"Is it our turn to be on duty?"

Song Xue yawned and got up.

He didn't have Chen Xun's energy; after traveling all day, three or four hours of sleep wasn't enough.

But when it was his turn to be on duty, he had no choice but to get up.

So, during his subsequent shift, he kept yawning.

Chen Xun shook his head slightly upon seeing this.

He himself stood in the stance while paying close attention to his surroundings.

Two hours later, nothing happened.

Chen Xun breathed a sigh of relief and then told Song Xue, who was much more energetic, to go back to sleep.

At this point, Song Xue could no longer sleep.

Seeing Chen Xun cultivating outside the tent, he also began cultivating, and exclaimed, "Chen Xun, you are really diligent."

"Haha, since I can't sleep anyway, I might as well cultivate."

Chen Xun smiled and offered an explanation.

Nothing happened that night, and dawn broke quickly.

After a night of practice, Chen Xun's stance training and breathing techniques improved, bringing him closer to the perfect state.

Breakfast was still grilled meat. After everyone had eaten, they packed up their tents and started climbing the mountain.

Their task was to clear away the creatures within the sacred ground to prevent them from eating any precious plants that might grow there.

Some strange beasts are born from ordinary wild animals consuming spiritual herbs or plants rich in spiritual energy.

The area to be explored is tentatively set at a radius of 100 feet around the location where the elixir was discovered.

The Broken Soul Peak is nearly a thousand meters high, and the place where the medicinal herb was found is near the peak.

Its radius is about 100 zhang, which is the area from the mountainside to the peak.

Starting from the foot of the mountain, Song Que began to arrange for people to cut down trees to clear a road.

The mountain was covered with lush forests, and there were many large trees, some as thick as a man's waist, but they could not stop the monstrous strength of the martial artists.

With the strength of hundreds or even thousands of pounds, wielding a long sword forged from fine steel, he chopped down a tree as thick as a waist with just two strokes and tossed it aside.

Each person cuts down ten trees, then the next person takes over to prevent anyone from becoming overly tired and to give everyone enough time to rest and replenish their energy.

The commotion of cutting down trees quickly attracted some wild animals.

It also disturbed some animals that live in the trees.

For example, at this moment, a black python, seven or eight meters long, fell from the felled tree.

Just as it raised its head and assumed an attack stance, a member of the Medicine Clan next to it chopped off its head with a single blow, and its body continued to writhe.

Some of the wild beasts that were attracted by the movement remained hesitant, while others, driven by a strong desire to attack, launched their own attacks and were killed on the spot.

And so, the group maintained a relatively steady pace, advancing towards the summit.

A mountain path, about two meters wide, was left behind, covered with wooden stakes.

Around noon, the mountain path had been advanced to the mountainside.

"This position is about right."

At this moment, Song Wuqing, who had been taciturn all the way, spoke up.

Song Que immediately understood.

"Everyone, take a break."

The group then gathered in a shady spot and began grilling and eating.

They were roasting the carcasses of animals that had just been killed.

After eating and drinking their fill, they began a new round of tree felling.

But this time, instead of cutting upwards, they cut horizontally, creating a barrier around their current location.

The area above the isolation zone is the area that needs to be cleaned, while the area below it can be left alone.

So everyone got busy again.

Just when Chen Xun thought he would continue working without any incident until nightfall, a black panther suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

It was incredibly fast; even Chen Xun's powerful dynamic vision could only catch a black afterimage, barely able to make out that it was a black leopard.

The black panther appeared quickly and disappeared just as quickly.

"Senior Brother Song Zhen is dead."

Suddenly, a piercing scream rang out.

When the crowd heard that someone had died, they began to stir.

"Quiet down."

At this moment, Song Que stepped forward immediately, shouted loudly to stop the commotion from escalating, and then rushed to Song Zhen's body.

A huge bloodstain appeared on Song Zhen's neck, almost tearing her neck apart.

Song Zhen lay on the ground, still convulsing, clearly having just been attacked and not yet completely dead.

"Did you see clearly what did it?"

Song Que asked the person next to Song Zhen.

"No, I just saw a dark shadow flash by, and that's how Senior Brother Song Zhen ended up like this."

The man was still shaken and his limbs felt weak.

After all, if the other party's target is him, then his fate will probably not be much better than Song Zhen's.

"It's a black panther."

At this moment, Song Wuqing also came over, but there was no sadness in his eyes, only excitement and exhilaration.

"It's very likely a strange beast."

Song Wuqing speculated.

If it really is a strange beast, then this spiritual land is extraordinary, capable of giving birth to two strange beasts, and perhaps there are also hidden spiritual herbs.

Moreover, the flesh and blood of mythical beasts are highly nourishing, especially their heart blood, which is a treasure that can be used in medicine and alchemy.

Its value is only slightly lower than that of a miracle drug.

"If it really is a strange beast, perhaps my cultivation level can be improved as well."

Thinking of this, Song Wuqing became even more excited.

Song Que, on the other hand, felt little excitement upon hearing the name of the strange beast; instead, he felt only vigilance and fear.

Because of the immense power of the strange beasts, only warriors at the Blood Exchange Realm can kill them.

Although he was at the Silver Bone Realm, he was no different from other Iron Bone Realm warriors in front of the strange beasts.

This made Song Que unable to resist gripping the long sword in his hand.

Just as Song Que was pondering how to deal with this strange beast, another scream rang out.

The black panther has started killing again.
