Martial Arts Sainthood Begins with the Tiger-Taming Fist

Chapter 118 The Crescent Moon Formation and Wind and Thunder Valley

All three had burning gazes.

The core of a powerful and exotic beast is extremely precious at the Transformation Realm level.

Although you have to hand it over to the sect after leaving Fenglei Valley, you can still exchange it for some good items.

Chen Mo has yet to see what the Beast Core actually looks like.

Under the gaze of the onlookers, Lin Tuoshi pierced through the corpse of the Blazing Wolf with his sword, and a foul-smelling liquid flowed from the wound.

The weaver bird covered its mouth.

As the longsword penetrated deeper, Lin Tuoshi felt the resistance becoming increasingly intense. When it reached six feet deep, a hint of excitement flashed between his brows, and then he slightly flicked his wrist, flicking the longsword outward.

A dark red, rhomboid crystal rolled to the ground.

Lin Tuoshi picked it up, placed it in his palm, and let Chen Mo and Zhique examine it closely.

Chen Mo stared intently at it.

The beast core appeared to be covered with vein-like patterns, and in its center shone a long-lasting, undiminished light.

"Judging from the quality of this beast core, it should be priceless and unavailable," said the Weaver Sparrow.

Her family was prominent and she was well-informed. Although such beast cores were rare, she had encountered them before.

It has a price but no market, meaning it cannot be measured in silver.

Lin Tuoshi handed it to Chen Mo, saying, "You killed the beast, so you should keep the beast core."

Chen Mo shook his head again, "No need for that, you can keep it."

Upon hearing this, Lin Tuoshi paused for a moment, then handed it to Zhique.

Zhique smiled helplessly and had no choice but to accept it, saying, "Since you're being so polite, then I won't be polite either."

She took the beast core and carefully put it into her waist pocket.

Then, Chen Mo walked around the corpse, came to the head of the Fiery Wolf, and looked into its eyes.

His eyes were deep, with a hint of rosy light in their gray-black depths.

He had long ago decided on his target: not the beast core, but these two eyeballs!

The eyes faintly contained the same aura as the giant python's scales, both belonging to the fire element, which would greatly benefit the cultivation of the Tai Chen Ying Huo Chapter.

He calmly raised the Crane Cry Sword, its tip pointing directly at his left eye.

呲!

The longsword suddenly pierced in, then slashed outwards, and the left eyeball fell into his palm.

The longsword pierced the right eye again, gouging out the other eyeball in the same way.

Two jade-like eyes were held in my palm, and I felt a slight warmth from them.

After taking what he wanted, Chen Mo explained to the two of them, "These two eyeballs are helpful to my cultivation technique, so I kept them for myself."

The two were not too surprised. Zhique said, "Of course, you killed him, so you can take whatever you want."

"9

Lin Tuoshi glanced at the surrounding sky and said, "This place is not safe to stay any longer. Let's go back."

The three left the narrow space and headed towards the fork in the road.

Halfway there, thanks to the pills and his own recovery ability, Chen Mo had recovered most of his strength.

The wound on his left shoulder, inflicted by the wolf's claws, still ached slightly, but it was only a superficial injury and had not penetrated deeper.

Before long, the three arrived at the crossroads and saw Du Tian and Zhu Xiaoyan immediately come to greet them.

Du Tian grabbed Chen Mo and hugged him so tightly he almost couldn't breathe. "Dude, I'm so glad you're alright!"

"Where are the others?"

The problem of the weaver girl "rescued" Chen Mo from Du Tian's arms.

Zhu Xiaoyan, who was standing nearby, replied, "The others rushed back in a panic and ran towards the valley entrance, including Ren Yao."

Upon hearing the name "Ren Yao," Zhi Que showed a disdainful expression before recounting what had happened in the narrow place.

Upon hearing this, Du Tian immediately slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "I knew it! That Ren Yao really is a scoundrel!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Xiaoyan lowered her eyebrows slightly.

Ren Yao was once the fantasy of many female disciples, but after today's events, all their fantasies have been shattered.

Chen Mo glanced at the sky. "It's already late at night. Why don't we rest here and make plans again tomorrow morning?"

None of them objected.

The long night is almost over.

The five men sat around the fire, none of them sleepy, and chatted idly, talking about their past.

Recalling the fierce battle of the night, Zhique turned to Lin Tuoshi and said, "Senior Brother Lin, you resolutely saved Lu Wanwan back then. Although you and Ren Yao were both in Liaoyuan Academy, you were worlds apart from him."

Lin Tuoshi replied without batting an eye, "I have hated spirits and strange beasts since I was a child. I will attack them no matter what."

Lin Tuoshi did not reveal that when he was six years old, his family was eaten by monsters. He survived by chance and became taciturn and suffered poverty until he was thirteen years old when the elder of Liaoyuan Academy discovered his martial arts talent and took him as a disciple.

He then vowed to slay all the spirits and strange beasts in the world.

Although with his current peak strength, he is still far from fulfilling this vow, he has always been on the path and has never taken a step back.

Then Zhique talked about herself: "I am the eldest daughter of the head of the Zhi family in Chuzhou. I was indeed pampered since childhood, but I also wanted to do something different from those young ladies in their boudoirs. So I learned martial arts from a young age and went to Jiujian Mountain."

"It's clear that Senior Sister Zhique has the demeanor of a female knight-errant!" Du Tian exclaimed.

The weaver girl smiled sweetly.

Next, when she asked Chen Mo about his past, he thought for a moment and replied, "My past is nothing much. I was a lowly laborer since I was a child, then I entered the martial arts academy, and then I became a disciple of the Fang Academy of Nine Swords Mountain."

Chen Mo briefly reviewed the past year.

As the legitimate daughter of a wealthy family, Zhique was naturally unable to empathize.

Only Zhu Xiaoyan nodded repeatedly. She then explained that she came from an ordinary merchant family and had little status even in a small town, barely making ends meet.

The fog had partially dissipated by then.

Chen Mo gazed at the stars in the night sky. Some stars seemed dim, but they were actually temporarily obscured by a thin mist. Once the mist completely dissipated, they would become the brightest stars.

The night is half over.

As they chatted, they fell asleep on the ground.

The next morning.

Chen Mo was the first to stand up, sit quietly, and practice the Turtle Breathing Technique.

Half an hour later, the rest of the people got up one after another.

After discussing it, the group returned along the same route they had come from. Since they had not yet seen Elder Jinwu that day and were worried about something going wrong, they abandoned the idea of ​​going any further.

Just as Chen Mo was about to take a step forward, a sudden sharp pain shot through his abdomen. He immediately realized that it was the "Crescent Moon Formation" causing the problem.

The intense pain was being pulled by a force that seemed to originate from the depths of Wind and Thunder Valley.

"Senior Brother Chen, what's wrong?"

Zhu Xiaoyan, being observant, quickly noticed Chen Mo's unusual behavior and asked him what was wrong.

Everyone looked over as well.

Chen Mo forced himself to endure the excruciating pain, waved his hand, and replied, "It's nothing, I just suddenly feel a bit uncomfortable."

After a moment, the excruciating pain indeed disappeared. Chen Mo glanced discreetly into the depths of Wind and Thunder Valley, thinking to himself, "The depths of Wind and Thunder Valley seem to be connected to the Crescent Moon Array Diagram."

Then he turned his gaze and said, "Let's keep going."

Just then, a figure swept in from the direction of the valley entrance. When the person stopped, everyone could see who it was.

"Elder Jinwu!"

Zhu Xiaoyan exclaimed in surprise.
