Asura Mad Emperor

Chapter 29 Pointing Out Martial Skills

Qinchuan held the Ironwire Snake in one hand and gathered his True Qi with the other, tracing a finger over the location of its gallbladder, extracting it, "The most valuable part of the Ironwire Snake is its gallbladder, which inherently possesses detoxifying effects and is also a crucial ingredient in refining Detoxification Pills."

As he spoke, Qinchuan's eyes glanced at another bush not far behind him, and he suddenly flicked the Ironwire Snake from which he had removed the gallbladder, turning it into a dark line that shot toward the bush behind him with force.

"Whoosh!"

The Ironwire Snake sliced through the bush, and with a "puff," its sharp mouth pierced a First Rank Ninth Grade Demon Wolf.

That Demon Wolf, lying in wait behind the bush with the aim of hunting Qinchuan and the others, was promptly nailed to the ground by Qinchuan, who had keenly detected its qi and used the corpse of the Ironwire Snake as a weapon.

The Demon Wolf whimpered only once before it rolled over and lay still, bereft of life.

This fierce action left all the elders of the Qin Family in shock and awe.

The Qin Family youngsters, on the other hand, all turned red-faced, with even greater admiration in their eyes.

The classification of Demon Beasts.

A First Rank Demon Beast corresponds to a Martial Artist at the Tempering Body Realm.

It is divided into nine levels, corresponding to the nine minor realms of the Tempering Body Realm.

For example, a First Rank Ninth Grade Demon Wolf corresponds to a human Martial Artist at the ninth layer of the Tempering Body Realm.

A Second Rank Demon Beast corresponds to a Martial Artist at the Condensed Truth Realm, similarly divided into nine grades, corresponding to nine minor realms within the realm.

The same applies for Third Rank Demon Beasts, and so forth.

"Alright, from now on, I won't intervene easily. In case of any danger, you must fend for yourselves and be vigilant," Qinchuan declared after a glance at the corpse of the Demon Wolf, showing no intention of taking it with him, since the carcass of a First Rank Demon Beast wasn't highly valuable.

Unlike the Ironwire Snake, whose gallbladder could be used in medicine.

Upon hearing this, Qin Shan and the others instantly tensed up, drawing their weapons and proceeding cautiously while vigilantly observing their surroundings.

Qinchuan's Divine Sense was incredibly powerful, his perception extremely sharp; he was aware of every rustle of the wind and movement of the grass in the vicinity.

Throughout their journey, he identified many Demon Beasts lying in ambush but acted as if oblivious, leaving Qin Shan and the others to deal with any attacks that arose without lending a hand.

Even the Third Elder and others were prohibited by Qinchuan from helping.

At that moment, a First Rank Ninth Grade Ironskin Leopard pounced from the side at several Qin Family youngsters.

The other Qin Family youngsters were so frightened by this sudden danger that they were utterly disoriented, but Qin Shan quickly reacted, drawing his sword and slashing at the Ironskin Leopard.

"Nine Variations of the Thunder God!" he bellowed, as the Thunder Attributed True Qi within him circulated and infused his longsword, unleashing a swift strike.

In an instant, the silvery sword light cascaded down, its Thunder Attribute infused power striking the Ironskin Leopard, "crackle and pop", the fury of the thunder exploding upon impact, the silver and electric arcs coursed through the body of the Ironskin Leopard in the blink of an eye, charring its fur and the Thunder Attribute's special effect paralyzed it, leaving it toppling to the ground.

With a fierce glint in his eyes, Qin Shan wielded his longsword again, employing his Martial Skill to slice at the leopard's head.

However, with its iron skin and copper bones, the beast's head was incredibly tough, almost causing Qin Shan's sword to be knocked out of his hand.

"This is a First Rank Ninth Grade Ironskin Leopard!"

"With iron skin and copper bones, only the neck area is its weak spot, target its neck!"

The Third Elder commanded.

Qin Shan immediately reacted. With a flash of silver light, the moment the paralysis of the Ironhide Leopard ended, he severed its neck with a sword.

The Ironhide Leopard let out a mournful cry, leapt up, and attempted to pounce upon Qin Shan.

Qin Shan, greatly startled, quickly held the sword horizontally for defense and was knocked to the ground by the Ironhide Leopard. Fortunately, after Qin Shan had cut its neck, the Ironhide Leopard's vitality dimmed and it couldn't counter-attack after knocking him down, otherwise Qin Shan would have been in certain danger.

"Thump-thump, thump-thump!"

Qin Shan's heart pounded wildly as he scrambled from underneath the Ironhide Leopard and looked at the enormous creature before him, his eyes alight with excitement.

At the same cultivation level, Demon Beasts tend to be stronger than martial artists due to their innate advantages—whether it be a robust body, astonishing speed, or immense strength.

Therefore, when martial artists encounter Demon Beasts of the same level, they typically only have the option to flee for their lives.

But at this moment, he had slain a Demon Beast of the same level, which naturally thrilled and surprised him.

"So strong! Worthy of being brother Qin Shan, to actually have killed an Ironhide Wolf!"

"That sword strike just now was so powerful. The Ironhide Wolf had an iron hide and copper bones, and its head was even more incredibly tough, but brother Qin Shan's sword still managed to slice through the skin on its forehead!"

Qin He and the other Qin Family disciples expressed their admiration one after another.

Qin Shan also scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly upon hearing the compliments.

"Killing a Demon Beast of the same level is quite remarkable, isn't it?"

However, just at that moment, Qinchuan's voice rang out, tinged with a hint of disappointment.

"From your performance just now, your combat experience is still far too lacking. When the Ironhide Wolf pounced on you the second time, you panicked and hastily held your sword horizontally for defense, which resulted in being overthrown. If the Ironhide Wolf had any strength left, it would have bitten your neck in the first chance!"

"Also, the Nine Variations of the Thunder God is an infinitely powerful skill, yet you failed to bring out its true power. The accompanying martial skill, the Thunderclap Sword Technique, was also inaccurate and lacked boldness; it was limp and weak!"

"Otherwise, with the power of the Thunderclap Sword Technique, even if the Ironhide Wolf was armored with iron hide and copper bones, your sword strike should have been able to pierce through its skull!"

Having said that, Qinchuan flicked his toes on the ground, picked up a dry branch, held it in one hand, and walked over to the corpse of the Ironhide Wolf.

"Watch closely, this is the Thunderclap Sword Technique!"

After speaking, Qinchuan suddenly seemed like a different person altogether, his gaze turning extremely sharp, brimming with aggressiveness. Arcs of silver lightning surged onto the dry branch in his hand, and all the power seemed to converge at the peak, suddenly pointing at the forehead of the Ironhide Wolf.'

"Pff!"

In an instant, amid the gasps of the onlookers, the seemingly fragile dry branch pierced straight through the brain of the Ironhide Wolf!

And Qinchuan had clearly repressed his strength, using even less True Qi than Qin Shan had!

"See that? This is the Thunderclap Sword Technique."

"You must learn to compress your True Qi, then release it explosively in an instant, avoiding the waste and loss of excess power. Utilize every bit of the strength of your True Qi perfectly so that you can achieve the greatest power output with the least consumption."

"This is not only what Qin Shan currently needs to achieve but also the purpose of all of your practices on this trip!"

"I brought you to the Great Wilderness for training so that you can enhance your combat experience and refine your martial skills through actual combat. I hope to see improvement in all of you in the span of one month!"

Qinchuan tossed away the dry branch, dusted his hands, and gave pointers to Qin Shan and the other Qin Family members present.

All those present were shaken, as if being enlightened, and deep in thought.
