Chapter 8 Sword Control Technique

Chapter 8 Sword Control Technique

Locals are not like Yao Beasts; after being hacked to death by players, they won't drop items.

But locals carry things on them, looting corpses is the same.

There might even be unexpected gains.

When the guard in cyan fell from the air, Zhang Yuhe did not go over to check.

Instead, he happily began looting the corpse.

After some searching, Zhang Yuhe found a ring on the youth in white.

This guy actually used a chain to string the ring together and hang it around his neck.

If he hadn't looked carefully, he almost wouldn't have seen it.

"This should be the Storage Ring, right."

Zhang Yuhe took the ring and looked at it twice, then picked up the Flying Sword on the ground and quickly ran toward the spot where the guard in cyan landed.

He was not in a hurry to check the items in the ring; now was not the time.

Staying at the murder scene to check stolen goods was obviously inappropriate.

Who knows if there are accomplices of these two people nearby; he had to run further away first.

Before long, Zhang Yuhe ran to the spot where the guard in cyan landed.

"Ugh, he's actually not completely dead yet."

The situation at the scene surprised him quite a bit.

He saw that the guard in cyan had not breathed his last on the spot, but was struggling to crawl forward.

Pierced through the chest by a long saber, he actually didn't die.

Is a Cultivator's Life so tenacious?

Seeing Zhang Yuhe arrive, the guard in cyan showed a look of despair, knowing that Zhang Yuhe could not let him go.

Everyone understands the logic of silencing witnesses; he only hated himself for being unlucky and following a lunatic-like Young Master.

If it weren't for the Sixth Young Master's impulsiveness and ignorance, how could they have provoked an expert like Zhang Yuhe.

That's how it is in the cultivation world; strength is the absolute truth, and people who are weak yet arrogant basically don't live long.

However, everything was already too late.

The guard in cyan shouted unhappily to Zhang Yuhe,

"You killed the Sixth Young Master, the Flying Cloud City Wu Family will not let you off."

"A person about to die still has so much nonsense."

Zhang Yuhe couldn't be bothered to dawdle with him, casually throwing a punch to finish him off completely.

He looted a Storage Pouch from the guard in cyan, then quickly ran off into the distance.

As for the Flying Sword of the guard in cyan, he didn't know where it dropped, and he didn't have time to look for it now.

Hurrying away from here, who knows what methods these cultivation locals might have.

In case that Flying Cloud City Wu Family sensed it the moment the youth in white died, wouldn't they track him down immediately?

If that really happened, his trouble would be huge.

Of the thirty-six stratagems, leaving is the best.

As long as he ran fast enough, trouble couldn't catch up to him.

Zhang Yuhe made up his mind to run first as a sign of respect.

While sprinting into the distance, he checked the Storage Ring in his hand.

Cultivators' storage equipment all have special Seals; only the owner can unlock them.

As for the Storage Pouch of the guard in cyan, put it aside for now; a Young Master is definitely richer than a guard.

Under normal circumstances, wanting to unlock someone else's storage equipment means spending time using Divine Sense to slowly grind it away.

Of course, a dead person's items are not included.

Once a Cultivator dies, the Seal of the storage equipment will be greatly weakened, and unlocking it is not difficult.

He learned this common sense through peeking at the information on the chat channel.

Zhang Yuhe sprinted all the way, simultaneously dividing a wisp of Divine Sense to slowly probe into the Storage Ring in his hand.

After about a few minutes, a space of five to six cubic meters appeared in his field of vision.

First to catch his eye was a neat pile of Spirit Stones.

"Haha, as expected of a Young Master, so rich."

Zhang Yuhe glanced at it; there were probably more than three thousand Spirit Stones.

Murder and arson bring golden belts; the ancients did not deceive me.

If he relied solely on killing Yao Beasts, how long would he have to kill to earn this much?

Killing people still makes money fast, getting fat in one wave.

Seeing the pile of Spirit Stones in the Storage Ring, Zhang Yuhe couldn't help but show a happy expression.

However, although the Spirit Stones were dazzling, they were not the focus of his attention.

Spirit Stones can be earned slowly.

Compared to the locals of Yu Fantian, players make money easier.

After all, when they beat Yao Beasts to death, besides getting Yao Beast corpses, items would also drop. It can be considered a double benefit, and locals don't have this privilege.

"Let's see if there are any good things."

What Zhang Yuhe needed were Cultivation Techniques or Spells and Divine Abilities. If that really doesn't work, some books recording cultivation common sense would also do.

The feeling of being a cultivation illiterate is very uncomfortable.

Besides Spirit Stones, the Storage Ring of the youth in white also contained other messy things randomly placed inside.

Various personal belongings, as well as some bottles and jars, wooden boxes affixed with talisman Seals, etc. Zhang Yuhe even saw some women's clothing in the ring.

I have to say, this Wu Laoliu is a Young Master who knows how to play.

Zhang Yuhe's Divine Sense quickly swept across the ring space, and soon he found a crystal-clear Jade Slip.

"Let's see what is recorded in the Jade Slip; I hope it's a Cultivation Technique."

With a heart full of anticipation, Zhang Yuhe took out the Jade Slip to check.

"It's actually a Sword Control Technique."

"That's fine too."

"Let's try first to see if I can learn it."

In the ring of the youth in white, only one Jade Slip was found, and no other Cultivation Techniques, Spells, or Divine Abilities were discovered.

Sword Control Technique is a universal skill for Cultivators, and does not simply refer to flying on a sword.

Rather, it is a general term for the technique of wielding Magical Artifacts. If Cultivators want to control Magical Artifacts to fly and attack, they must first learn the Sword Control Technique.

This is a very practical skill; he plans to learn it and try it first.

As his Divine Sense probed in, the application method of the Sword Control Technique completely reflected in his mind.

"It doesn't seem that hard either."

Before long, Zhang Yuhe finished reading all the content in the Jade Slip.

He didn't know if he was overconfident, but he felt this Spell was very simple.

It felt like he would master it at just a glance.

"Try it and you'll know."

Zhang Yuhe took out a Flying Sword, exactly the one belonging to the youth in white.

He held the Flying Sword in his hand and examined it closely.

Engraved on the hilt of the Flying Sword were four small characters: "Flying Cloud Wu·Liu".

When no one was controlling it, the entire Flying Sword was only about a foot long.

This was a Low Grade Magical Artifact, slightly shabby for Zhang Yuhe's current cultivation level.

However, having a Magical Artifact was already good; he wasn't picky.

While running away, he refined the Flying Sword.

Before long, he finished refining the Flying Sword.

Zhang Yuhe stopped in his tracks and waved his right hand.

A small Flying Sword exuding flowing light hovered in front of him.

"Go…"

Zhang Yuhe waved his right hand, and the Flying Sword turned into a streak of light and headed straight into the distance.

Boom…

Under his control, the Flying Sword directly sliced off a big tree as thick as a water bucket in the distance.

"Return…"

The Flying Sword instantly returned in front of him.

"Haha, it's very simple."

Under Zhang Yuhe's control, the Flying Sword flew rapidly around his body.

He originally thought that comprehending a Spell required a lot of time, but who knew that in reality, it was much simpler than he imagined.

In just two or three minutes, Zhang Yuhe learned the Sword Control Technique, controlling the Flying Sword as smoothly as moving his own arm.

"Why is it so easy? Could it be because my Comprehension Ability is off the charts, so I learn Spells very fast?"

He silently guessed and thought.

Normally, learning a new Spell shouldn't be this fast.

For example, that Young Master Wu must have learned it for quite a while.

But looking at how clumsy he appeared when controlling the Flying Sword to deal with the wild boar monster.

If the guard in cyan hadn't made a move, he probably would have been killed by the wild boar monster.

"Could it be that I am not only a Cultivation Genius, but also a Spell Genius?"

"Forget it, too lazy to think about it; anyway, it's not a bad thing."

Zhang Yuhe didn't dwell on it; as long as he learned it, that was fine. Why think so much?

"Let's try the flight effect."

Zhang Yuhe summoned the Flying Sword again, then took a step forward and steadily stood on top of the Flying Sword.

"Off you go."

The Flying Sword turned into a streak of light, carrying him quickly forward.

"Haha, I can finally fly."

Zhang Yuhe stood on the Flying Sword, laughing wildly and uninhibitedly.

At this time, wearing a Storage Ring on his hand and flying by stepping on a Flying Sword, he had the complete demeanor of an Immortal.

Just as Zhang Yuhe was laughing proudly and wildly, the Flying Cloud City Wu Family was in utter chaos.

In the main hall of the Wu Family, a middle-aged man wearing a silver crown roared in fury.

"What did you say? Liu'er's soul lamp has gone out?"
