Becoming a Saint From the Iron Armor Skill

Chapter 436: Chapter 220: Starting the Rampage

"Xinyi County? So, they were from the Wang Family.

’I just want to cultivate in peace, but trouble always finds a way. It seems the Wang Family is still after me!’

Chen Cheng let out a soft sigh.

"Sigh... I never wanted to walk the Killing Dao! But a man can’t afford to be too kind!"

SHLICK! SHLICK!

With a flash of his blade, two heads tumbled to the ground!

Chen Cheng followed up with a few kicks, sending their bodies flying into the dense woods nearby, where they disappeared from sight.

...

「As evening fell.」

In a forest south of Fenglin Town, near the Great Wilderness Mountain Range, two figures in purple robes moved swiftly through the trees.

They were none other than the sisters Shen Qingyao and Shen Qingshuang, who had just arrived near Fenglin Town.

Suddenly, Shen Qingshuang, who was walking behind, stopped in her tracks. She held her breath and focused her senses, tilting her head as if sensing something.

Noticing her sister’s odd behavior, Shen Qingyao’s expression grew taut. With a single leap, she landed on the branch of a large nearby tree, concealed her aura, and scanned her surroundings.

After a long moment, she found nothing out of the ordinary.

"Qingshuang, what are you being so jumpy for?" Shen Qingyao said, rolling her eyes at her sister.

Shen Qingshuang didn’t get angry. Instead, she asked back in all seriousness, "And what was that big display of yours, leaping up into a tree like that?"

"Sigh..." Shen Qingyao let out a soft sigh. "I keep feeling uneasy, as if someone is constantly watching us.

You must have felt it too.

But I just did a careful sweep. For several li around us, it’s just the two of us. There are no other signs of movement."

"I have the same feeling," Shen Qingshuang nodded. After a moment of thought, she added, "Perhaps we’re being overly cautious and it’s just our imagination.

When a person’s Spiritual Power is stretched taut, they tend to see enemies in every shadow."

Shen Qingyao came down from the tree. "You’re right. Maybe we are being too careful."

As she spoke, she looked around, cleared a clean patch of ground under a large tree, casually gathered some dry branches and leaves to spread over it, and then sat down to rest.

"Still," she said, "it’s never wrong to be cautious when you’re traveling.

This demon calamity is fraught with danger. We can forcefully manifest the Frost Snow Realm, and when we combine our efforts, its power is magnified, making it easy enough to slay a Tier Three Demon Beast.

However, it’s ultimately a life-saving technique and shouldn’t be used lightly.

Furthermore, we’re carrying the Ancestor’s Ice Soul Jade Marrow. At a critical moment, we can use it to unleash the power of the Frost Snow Realm to save our lives, but that too cannot be used rashly.

In terms of raw strength, our power is only at the level of Small Success in the Bone Forging Realm.

Faced with a Demon Beast Tide that can easily number in the hundreds of frenzied beasts, the role we can play is truly very limited.

This Demon Beast Tide disaster in Fenglin Town has had one twist after another. The real threat we need to be careful of are the scoundrels from the Black Lotus Sect hiding in the shadows."

"Hmph! Most of those Black Lotus Sect villains are just run-of-the-mill figures from the Jianghu with mediocre talent and average strength. What’s there to be afraid of!

The only ones we need to watch out for are those two old freaks, Celestial and Earthly Imperfections.

With the Ice Soul Jade Marrow, we don’t have to fear them, even if those two old monsters show up."

Shen Qingshuang snorted. She also cleared a patch of ground under a nearby tree, spread some branches over it, and sat down on the ground.

The two sisters were twins. Though they loved to bicker on a daily basis, their hearts and minds were connected.

This action naturally meant they were preparing to spend the night here and wait for dawn to continue their journey.

Shen Qingyao suddenly said, "According to rumor, the villains of the Black Lotus Sect use Evil Techniques to refine Elixir Pills.

If the nutrients used to cultivate the Black Lotus are young Martial Artists with outstanding Martial Arts Talent, the refined Elixir Pills can replenish one’s Innate Origin and extend their lifespan.

Those two old monsters, Celestial and Earthly Imperfections, are both in their twilight years with not much time left. It’s truly possible they are coming after us.

In their younger years, those two were Organ Refining Realm Martial Artists, after all. Even with the Ice Soul Jade Marrow on us, we can’t be careless."

Shen Qingshuang glanced at her. "Since you fancy yourself so clever, why don’t you tell me: if you were those two old monsters, Celestial and Earthly Imperfections, and you wanted to use the Demon Beast Tide disaster to deal with us, how would you set your trap?"

Shen Qingyao chuckled. "If you had asked me that question before, I might have had to give it some thought. But now that we’re here, the answer is practically staring us in the face."

At this, she suddenly paused and asked back, "The answer is simple. What do you think it is?"

Shen Qingshuang snorted. "You mean to say that those two old monsters, Celestial and Earthly Imperfections, might already be up ahead, waiting for us?"

"Whoa!" Shen Qingyao’s eyes widened as she exclaimed dramatically, "Qingshuang, I didn’t realize you weren’t so dumb after all! You guessed it in one go!"

"Tch!" Shen Qingshuang retorted irritably. "When one’s Martial Arts Cultivation reaches a certain level, it grants mysterious and unfathomable powers. This is especially true for comprehending a Realm, which can greatly enhance one’s Perception Ability.

Someone with the Ancestor’s Martial Arts Power is already close to the level of ’a cicada sensing the autumn wind before it blows.’

Although we haven’t truly cultivated the Frost Snow Realm yet, our comprehension of it is deep enough that we can forcefully manifest it.

So naturally, our Perception Ability has also reached a point of spiritual connection. It’s perfectly normal for us to be more sensitive to hidden dangers."

Hearing this, Shen Qingyao clicked her tongue in admiration. "Qingshuang, I never thought you had so much wisdom in you. It seems I underestimated you before!"

"And I’ve always overestimated you!" Shen Qingshuang retorted sharply.

Shen Qingyao said, "So what should we do next?"

"You’re so smart, figure it out yourself!" Shen Qingshuang turned her head away, looking as if she couldn’t be bothered with her.

"Hey... you’re so petty, it’s no fun!" Shen Qingyao said.

Shen Qingshuang remained silent.

Shen Qingyao let out a long sigh. "Ah, Junior Brother Chen is so much better. If Junior Brother Chen were here, he could probably answer any question I ask.

And he’s so interesting. His answers are always unexpected.

If I’d known, we should have gone back to Moshan City first and brought Junior Brother Chen with us."

At the mention of Chen Cheng, Shen Qingshuang suddenly turned her head back and asked:

"There was a report earlier that Junior Brother Chen single-handedly killed the Tier Three Demon Beast, the Ghost-faced Mountain Demon, in Qingxi Town. Do you think it’s true?"

Shen Qingyao opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but when the words reached her lips, she seemed at a loss for what to say.

After a good while, she finally said, "Logically speaking, the information from our Shen Family shouldn’t be false.

But how could Junior Brother Chen possibly kill a Tier Three Demon Beast? And the Ghost-faced Mountain Demon at that, an extremely powerful existence among Tier Three Demon Beasts?

Could it be that... Junior Brother Chen has cultivated a Realm?"

Shen Qingshuang fell silent.

A Realm was an existence that could contend with the True Force of a Marrow Cleansing Realm Perfection Martial Artist. How could it be so easy to cultivate?

Among the entire younger generation of Linji City, no one under the age of thirty had cultivated a Realm.

Chen Cheng was only nineteen. How could he possibly have cultivated a Realm?

Shen Qingyao shook her head, then muttered to herself, "That Junior Brother Chen... his intelligence is actually far greater than we imagine.

You have no idea how deep he runs.

Don’t be fooled by his usual harmless, humble, and polite appearance.

In reality, he’s probably got more schemes in him than Jishui Lake has water!

If you were to say... he’s actually cultivated a Realm, there’s a tiny sliver of a possibility!

If Junior Brother Chen really has cultivated a Realm, what an astonishing and brilliant talent he must be!"

A light danced in Shen Qingyao’s eyes, her thoughts already drifting far away.

And Shen Qingshuang, too, was lost in silence.

Several li away, atop a large tree, a figure was all but invisible within the dense shade of the canopy.

Even a flock of birds at the top of the tree chirped and chattered merrily, seeming completely unaware of the figure’s presence.

This person was none other than Chen Cheng, lying in wait.

With his speed, Chen Cheng had arrived in this forest much earlier than the two sisters, Shen Qingyao and Shen Qingshuang.

For once, Chen Cheng was not cultivating. His breathing was steady and long, his body and mind were completely relaxed, and his spirit was clearer and more lucid than ever before.

’The Concealment Secret Skill, cultivated by strengthening my Spiritual Power with Wish Power, truly has many profound mysteries!’

’I’ll give them this, the two Shen Family sisters are quite cautious. They didn’t foolishly rush to travel through the night.

But still, how do they dare go and provide support during a Demon Beast Tide disaster with only the strength of Small Success in the Bone Forging Realm?

Sigh... if my own Martial Arts Power wasn’t already strong enough, I really might not have bothered to come over!

No, this won’t do. Later, I’ll have to knock some sense into those two and teach them a lesson! Make them understand the dangers of the Jianghu!

Being so bold and reckless is very dangerous, and the consequences are severe!’
