Road to Be the God

Chapter 45 Blessing in Disguise

Staring at the Scarlet Faced Apparition opposite, Lin Tian took a deep breath, held the handle of the sword with both hands and looked forward.

"Su Shu, step back," Lin Tian said in a low voice.

Su Shu was stunned, but soon took action and took a few big steps back.

"Argh!"

Opposite, the Scarlet Faced Apparition roared and rushed towards Lin Tian with its red demon eyes and angry face.

"Phew!"

Lin Tian stared at the front. After spitting out the turbid air, the long sword in his hand was rotated and pressed down. The Wind-startling Sword was released again at the fastest speed, and the dense sword lights were pressed against the Scarlet Faced Apparition from all directions.

The Scarlet Faced Apparition roared with its claws waving fast.

"Wheezing!"

"Wheezing!"

"Wheezing!"

Crisp sounds appeared. And in a twinkling, Lin Tian's Wind-startling Sword was destroyed.

However, Lin Tian's facial expression did not change. As soon as his right hand was raised, his long sword came out and turned into a streak of light, running to the Scarlet Faced Apparition. Then he squatted down slightly and rushed towards the Scarlet Faced Apparition with bare hands.

"Lin Tian, what are you doing? Come back!" Su Shu was startled.

Rushing towards the Scarlet Faced Apparition with bare hands was just courting death!

Lin Tian's face was indifferent and quiet. There seemed to be lightning intertwined in his eyes. The Dual Position Step was exerted to the limit by him, fast like a fleeting shadow.

"Clang!"

A crisp sound came out. The long sword thrown by Lin Tian first was hit by the claw of the Scarlet Faced Apparition.

However, also at this time, Lin Tian had come to the Scarlet Faced Apparition.

At the moment, Lin Tian had no sword in his hand, but he resolutely cut it out.

"Lightning Sword!" He said these two words.

Although there was no sword in his hand, now, it seemed that a real Lightning Sword appeared in his right hand which was extremely fast and powerful. The fierce and domineering air given off by the sword made the whole space tremble.

"Swish!"

Like a flash of light, Lin Tian passed by the Scarlet Faced Apparition.

For a moment, there was a dead silence around.

The Scarlet Faced Apparition trembled, moaning with its darkening bloody eyes. Then, in Su Shu's widened eyes, the Scarlet Faced Apparition fell to the ground with a bang. The bright red blood slowly flowed from the claw protecting its throat.

"It's dead?!" Su Shu was shocked, and her beautiful eyes were full of amazement.

She remembered that Lin Tian had no sword in his hand just now, but he managed to use the Wind-startling Swordsmanship!

Moreover, he killed the Scarlet Faced Apparition with just one shot!

"Lin Tian, how about you?" Looking at Lin Tian who still turned his back to her, Su Shu couldn't help shouting.

Lin Tian turned around, smiling at her, "I am okay. I am so fine."

He was recollecting the feeling of that move.

"You just performed Wind-startling Swordsmanship with bare hands? Moreover, it seemed to be more powerful than you did with a sword. How did you do that? It was so amazing." Su Shu widened her eyes.

Lin Tian smiled, "Well, it's a secret."

More than half a month ago, when he first practiced formation, he found a secret. When there was no weapon in his hand, through the sword pattern in the palm of his right hand, his sword Qi would be much stronger than that when he had a sword in his hand. So, just now he directly threw his long sword at the Scarlet Faced Apparition, and then he cut out the Lightning Sword with his bare hands.

The results were the same as when he first experimented.

The Lightning Sword performed with no sword in hand was more powerful!

It was faster!

It was more accurate!

It was more powerful!

"That move was really potent." Gently holding his right hand and recollecting the move just now, Lin Tian felt comfortable.

Su Shu glared at him and grinned, "Another secret?!"

"Cough cough." Lin Tian pretended to cough and quickly looked away.

However, just at this moment, under the vines opposite, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a white light.

"What is that?" Lin Tian was in doubt.

Slowly approaching towards the opposite side, Lin Tian came to the vines. After he stripped off the vines on the surface, he was surprised.

"What's wrong?" Su Shu came up curiously and was so startled that she suddenly took a step back.

There were dense white bones under the vines with a faint light in the dark nest without knowing how long they had been placed here.

Lin Tian felt a little strange. Why were there so many white bones here? And it seemed that these white bones belonged to human beings. After interpreting for a while, he figured it out, "They should be the disciples of the Martial Institution who had been captured by the Scarlet Faced Apparition before."

Su Shu was touched and nodded, "Yeah, it should be like that."

There were so many white bones under the vines that made people's scalp numb. However, at this time, Lin Tian was attracted.

When he swept away some white bones, he saw many black objects in the size of a baby's fist.

"These are." Su Shu widened her eyes.

Lin Tian took out one of those black objects and wiped off the dust accumulated on it for a long time. At once, a faint halo flashed and some spiritual energy fluctuated around it.

"It's the beast nucleus!" Lin Tian said.

Staring at the bottom, Lin Tian moved his both hands and soon cleared away the vines and some white bones. Immediately, many similar black objects appeared below. After a rough glimpse, there could be more than 500.

They were all beast nuclei.

"My gosh!" Su Shu couldn't help screaming out.

Lin Tian said, "The owners of those bones should be disciples of the Martial Institution who had entered Qingfeng Mountain to be trained when they were alive. When they were trained in Qingfeng Mountain, it was unavoidable to kill many monster beasts to collect a lot of beast nuclei. And then, they were killed by the Scarlet Faced Apparition, but the beast nuclei were preserved."

Su Shu nodded. This analysis made sense.

The two looked at each other and couldn't help showing their joy.

There were more than 500 beast nuclei, which was an amazing amount. Moreover, among all these beast nuclei, most of them were second-grade, and many of them were third-grade. During the seven-day trial, they needed to rest, which meant that they couldn't keep hunting monster beasts all the time. So, it was extremely hard to collect more than 500 beast nuclei in seven days.

But now.

"It's truly a blessing under disguise," Lin Tian smiled and said.

Su Shu's beautiful eyes glowed, "This is a big deal!"

Lin Tian nodded, "Thanks to you as a decoy."

"Don't you dare say that again?" Su Shu glared at him.

Lin Tian laughed and didn't say a word. He began to tidy up the beast nuclei under the white bones. Nearby, Su Shu was not idle. She helped Lin Tian clean up together. Only after three hours did they clean up all the beast nuclei.

"There are 589 beast nuclei which include 63 first-grade beast nuclei, 341 second-grade beast nuclei and 185 third-grade beast nuclei," Lin Tian said.

Among the five bags he prepared, three of them were filled at this moment.

"This is really a big deal!" Su Shu was obsessed with these. Her eyes narrowed into crescent shaped, and her face was full of happy expression, "Only one day passed. In the left six days, there will be no problem even if we just sleep at leisure."

"We? Sleep? Su Shu, do not seduce me." Lin Tian pretended to cough.

Su Shu was stunned, and then kicked Lin Tian hard. She blushed and said, "Shameless! Rascal!"

Lin Tian laughed, stood up and walked to the other side, pulling out the long sword inserted on the ground. With a glimpse of it, he found several breaches on the blade, which made him sigh in secret. The claws of Scarlet Faced Apparition were really tough. He went to the corpse of the Scarlet Faced Apparition, cut its head, and took out a fist sized beast nucleus. This one was very bright, like legendary luminous pearl, illuminating places all around.

"It deserves to be called a third-grade monster beast at peak level comparable to the ninth layer of body cultivation. Even its beast nucleus is so overwhelming." Lin Tian was shocked.

Su Shu was also surprised, her big eyes blinking.

"Speaking of which, you are just at the sixth layer. It's unbelievable for you to slay a third-grade monster beast Scarlet Faced Apparition whose cultivation can be comparable to the ninth layer!" Su Shu stared at Lin Tian and said.

Lin Tian smiled. In fact, it was just a trick. Although Scarlet Faced Apparition was comparable to the ninth layer of body cultivation, it was no match for a real combatant who was at that. After all, it did not have the wisdom of a human combatant.

"How about leaving here first?" Lin Tian asked.

Su Shu nodded hurriedly, "Of course we need to leave here right now. I don't want to stay here."

The Scarlet Faced Apparition's nest was very dark. In addition, many white bones were pulled out from the vines. For a time, there was a rotten smell in the air, which was very uncomfortable.

Su Shu stood up and walked in the direction of the exit first.

Lin Tian followed behind, and they quickly walked out of the cave.

At this moment, the sky outside had darkened, and the night had shrouded the earth. Only a little light of stars had fallen, making the Qingfeng Mountain covered with a layer of silver light.

"What about now? How about directly going back to the Martial Institution?" Su Shu asked.

Although it was stipulated that the ranking trial of Exterior Ministry lasted for seven days, it was only the maximum time limit. In fact, during these seven days, exterior disciples entering Qingfeng Mountain could go out at any time. Of course, once they went out halfway, it meant that his ranking trial was over and the score would be calculated by the beast nuclei that he had collected before he went out.

Now, in addition to the previously collected beast nuclei, she and Lin Tian had a total of more than 600 beast nuclei, which was a lot and enough for them to rank among the top ten disciples of the Exterior Ministry at the same time.

"I am not ambitious, as long as Mu Qing is satisfied. Let's go back," Su Shu delightedly said.

Lin Tian was speechless, dragging Su Shu and saying, "It has been just one day. How could we possibly collect more than 600 beast nuclei all by ourselves? Do you think the tutors are idiots? What should we say if we go back now and are asked by them?"

Su Shu was stunned and suddenly understood, "Yeah. Why didn't I think of that?" After a pause, she looked at Lin Tian again and said, "What are we going to do now?"

Lin Tian thought for a while and said, "Firstly, find a place to have a rest, and then continue to hunt monsters to collect beast nuclei. Now that we have come in, we must be honed. In addition, collecting more beast nuclei is not a bad thing anyway."

The next day, in an old forest in Qingfeng Mountain, the amazing sword Qi roared, accompanied by a wail. A monster beast shaped like a rhinoceros was pierced through its throat by a sword and fell into a pool of blood with a bang.

"A third-grade monster breast Iron Tailed Rhinoceros which is comparable to the seventh layer is slayed by one shot! He is such a demon!"

Su Shu was not far away, widening her eyes.
