Becoming a Saint From the Iron Armor Skill

Chapter 447: Chapter 225: Still Trying to Hide

After her cry of alarm, Shen Qingyao suddenly froze.

Meanwhile, Shen Qingshuang, Shen Zhiheng, and Luo Mingyu also stared wide-eyed in shock, as if they had just witnessed something utterly unbelievable.

Back on Evil Tiger Ridge, Chen Cheng had effortlessly captured and killed the Tier Two Demon Beast, the Red-eyed White Tiger. The Martial Arts Power he displayed far surpassed that of an ordinary Perfect Martial Artist of the Muscle Strengthening Realm.

His true combat prowess might have even surpassed that of a typical Martial Artist at Small Success in the Bone Forging Realm.

In their eyes, such Martial Arts Power was already considered monstrously talented.

After all, Chen Cheng was only nineteen. To possess such immense Martial Arts Power at his age meant his Martial Arts Talent was nothing short of astonishing. He was in no way inferior to the True Disciples of the Major Sects.

With just another three to five years of Cultivation, Chen Cheng was certain to soar to prominence and become one of Linji City’s top martial arts experts.

A genius like him naturally needed to be protected. He couldn’t be allowed to suffer even the slightest injury, as it could affect his future Martial Arts Cultivation.

Leaving the city to slay demons meant inevitably encountering powerful Demon Beasts. While Chen Cheng’s Martial Arts Power was formidable, an encounter with a Tier Three Demon Beast could easily result in injury.

Therefore, after some discussion, they had decided to have Chen Cheng stand guard over Moshan County Town—the same duty previously assigned to the sisters, Shen Qingyao and Shen Qingshuang.

But the Chen Cheng they saw now moved with the swiftness of an afterimage. His Body Technique was impeccable, and his Wind Chasing Saber Stance was incredibly fierce and swift.

His Martial Arts Power was in no way inferior to that of a Martial Artist at Great Success in the Bone Forging Realm.

Before the Chen Cheng of this moment, the two sisters, Shen Qingyao and Shen Qingshuang, were completely outmatched!

How was this possible?

Chen Cheng was only nineteen, nearly twenty. Even if he had started Cultivating the Martial Dao at fifteen, he would have only been training for four or five years!

To achieve power comparable to a Martial Artist at Great Success in the Bone Forging Realm after only four or five years of Cultivation... his Martial Arts Talent could no longer be described as merely ’astonishing.’

It had reached a level so inconceivable that even legends wouldn’t dare to tell such a tale!

Not even the True Disciples of the Major Sects possessed such heaven-defying Martial Arts Talent!

But that wasn’t what shocked them most. The truly stunning part was that Chen Cheng, with power comparable to a Martial Artist at Great Success in the Bone Forging Realm, was single-handedly hunting and killing dozens of frenzied Demon Beasts.

In the valley below, more than a dozen Demon Beast corpses lay strewn across the ground, each one killed by a single saber strike to a vital point.

There were still thirty to forty Demon Beasts left alive, including three Tier Three Demon Beasts and seven or eight Tier Two Demon Beasts.

The rest, all Tier One Demon Beasts, were in a frenzied state and far more ferocious than usual.

The horde of Demon Beasts roared furiously as they besieged Chen Cheng.

But to Shen Qingyao and the other three, it looked less like an attack and more like Chen Cheng single-handedly hunting down the Demon Beasts, forcing them into a desperate, all-out counterattack just to survive.

How was this even possible? If they weren’t seeing it with their own eyes, they would have never believed anyone in the world was capable of such a feat—not even on pain of death!

Hunting down so many powerful Demon Beasts alone would be a difficult feat even for a Martial Artist of the Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm.

Yet Chen Cheng, with power merely comparable to a Martial Artist at Great Success in the Bone Forging Realm, was actually doing it. And from the looks of it, he was doing so with ease, completely unexerted!

Their entire understanding of reality had been so thoroughly overturned that the four of them completely forgot that Chen Cheng was in the middle of a life-or-death battle. They forgot that they were supposed to be helping him.

Soon, their shock gave way to a deep-seated admiration for Chen Cheng’s combat prowess!

Chen Cheng’s power level was indeed that of Great Success in the Bone Forging Realm. In terms of sheer presence, he was even far inferior to the three Tier Three Demon Beasts.

However, his Cultivation Techniques and Skills were all honed to perfection, and his sense of timing was simply sublime.

Using the forest as cover, he weaved through the trees, simultaneously dodging the Demon Beasts’ attacks while accurately identifying their vital weaknesses and felling them with a single slash of his saber.

It was as if Chen Cheng could see their every move in advance—how they would pounce, how they would tear, how they would charge.

Their power, their momentum, the location of their weak points—he anticipated it all.

The Long Saber in his hand simply waited for the moment a Demon Beast exhausted its power, then struck precisely at its vital point.

It was like something out of a fantasy tale, utterly surreal and mysterious!

As Chen Cheng continued to slay Demon Beast after Demon Beast with ease, the four observers slowly began to calm down.

Shen Qingshuang suddenly murmured, "In a true battle, it’s not just a contest of Martial Arts Realms or Cultivation Techniques and Skills."

"There are also all sorts of profound and mysterious Secret Techniques. If you master one, you can often unleash several times your own power in a fight!"

Shen Qingyao’s eyes lit up as she exclaimed excitedly, "I get it! Junior Brother Chen is so powerful because he’s mastered a Secret Technique."

"And this Secret Technique of his... it looks like the Concealment Secret Skill that Fourth Uncle is practicing."

"But cultivating a Secret Technique is countless times more difficult than any Cultivation Technique or Skill. Fourth Uncle has been practicing for over ten years and still hasn’t even reached the Beginner Level with the Concealment Secret Skill."

"And we can’t even make sense of the Secret Manual for it!"

Hearing the sisters’ conversation, Shen Zhiheng gave a wry smile. "I also got a copy of the Concealment Secret Skill’s Secret Manual from Old Fourth, and to this day, it’s still all Greek to me."

"To be honest, I was starting to think these so-called Secret Techniques were just a load of nonsense!"

"Oh no! That Triangular Kui Bull is too powerful! Lord Chen will have trouble defeating it! Let’s go lend him a hand!"

Shen Zhiheng’s expression suddenly changed, and he shot toward the valley below.

Luo Mingyu, Shen Qingyao, and Shen Qingshuang immediately followed suit.
