Chapter 23 Three sword forms

Fan art: by bei ji shen suan(北极神算)

Chu yun sheng thought the armour had already formed a shape, but it was still able to absorb the insect's shell, that means it can be upgraded, so if he gets new insects shell, he can continuously to upgrade the armour.


he still could not figure out what was wrong with the blade part, it stopped absorbing the shell, he guessed that perhaps the materials wasn't right. but he can't understand the sword's description on the ancient book, so he can't be sure.



He had been thinking for a while, still couldn't understand it, so he threw the insects claws and legs in there, wanted to give it a try, surprisingly the sword part started to absorb again, until he ran out of his collections, a crimson red coloured sword appeared.

Chu yun sheng was thrilled,he thought it must be the claws and legs because they are somewhat different to the shell, one is focusing on defending, the other is focus on attacking, material that focuses on attacking, of course, can be used to refine the blade.


In order to make the combat armour as perfect as possible, he then threw the rest of insect's shell in.

The armour also formed in a crimson red colour, although it was not in a black colour which was chu yun sheng always wanted, but it is not the time for him to complain too much about it.

Both sword and armour are in red colour, but they didn't contain any fire elements, similar to the yuan qi Chu yun sheng has they both contained yuan qi at pure primitive state. It greatly increased the degree of the armour's plasticity.

It is also very convenient to use it as well, he cast combat armour yuan fu onto his body, he just need to use his yuan qi to active the combat armour during the fight, then the armour will individually appear on each part of body and slowly adjust themselves to perfectly fit the whole body until there is not a single slit.


the Sword was hanging on his left side. when Chu yun sheng unsheathed the sword, he could instantly feel the sharpness of the sword

The sword he used before now is staying in the wu na yuan fu, he was thinking he might need it in the future. Anyway, there is no way he would throw it away.

The whole refining process required a lot of yun qi, after the armour completed, chu yun sheng found himself only had one unit of yuan qi left. He had a wry smile on his face, took out the last she yuan fu he had, absorbed the yuan qi from the last three flame patterns, he barely restored 7 unit of yuan qi.

Then he made a new liu jia yuan fu, and a shen bing yuan fu, cast them separately onto the armour and the sword.

Chu yun sheng felt that he just need to use one unit of yuan qi to active the sword, then he can easily stab the sword into the insect’s body. This is not an ordinary sword, it was made of the quintessence that extracted from nearly 240 legs and 120 claws!


When chu yun sheng understands the description of level 2 liu jia yuan and level 2 shen bing yuan fu. He believes that the power of his armour and sword will be even more powerful.

At the yuan tian stage two, he will be able to learn a sword fighting skill called “qian jun bi yi”1. , this sword skill set is what he always wanted. He thought for a second then named the sword as “qian bi ”( ward off thousands army)sword, he hopes that this sharp sword will stay with him to ward off thousands of insects!

Chu yun sheng is even more confident now. if it was not that he used up the most of his yuan qi, he really wants to test his armour set on the insects.

Now he left the only object which is the yuan tian stage two!


He Needs to circulate the qi cultivation process fifty-four times, he now found out that he miscalculated the number, the degree of concentration increased one more level, he will have to kill more insects in order to replenish his yuan qi, for example, he now has 9 unit of yuan qi, he needs four and a Half of flame pattern in order to fully restore the yuan qi, when he has ten unit of yuan qi, he then needs five flames patterns, each increased unit requires a half of flame pattern.


but Chu yun sheng was not upset, he has an armour and a qian bi sword now, the speed of killing the insect will definitely be increased.

At the moment his biggest problems are:
first, reach yuan tian stage two. so he won't be ruled by others also protect himself!
Two, he is way too slow to learn the characters in the book, it's like he knew where the treasure was buried, but he could not find any tool to dig it up.

the Yuan tian stage two to him is just a matter of time now, but the characters that written in the book are the most problematic, they are not even an oracle texts, it's very strange, and a number of characters appeared in the book is extremely large, especially those he couldn't understand. the only way to understand it. is to keep trying to figure out, guess what it means, and do experiments to verify if they are correct.

Chu Yunsheng pondered, he decided no matter what, he needs to reach the yuan tian stage two first, he is hoping that by that time the yuan tian stage two status will help him to understand the ancient book more clearly, also he will be able to perform more experiments. after all, stages two provides much more different types of level three yuan fu than the yuan tian stage one.

After the break, his excitement died out, Chu Yunsheng calmed down, and started to think about the qian bi sword, it is indeed a powerful weapon, but if he doesn't use it properly, then the power will be greatly decreased, like his frost Arrow, because he couldn't aim properly on the moving target which caused him only used frost arrow to perform a sneak attack, it great decrease the level of deterrence that frost arrow originally should have.

if it was used by a crossbow master, he believed that the frost arrow could be even more powerful.

that is why, he does not want to blindly use the sword, of course, the ancient book contain combat skills, but his level isn't high enough to learn any of them, he can only learn some basic sword moves, the ancient book does mention some of them, but not many, and he also couldn't understand those characters, moreover the ancient doesn't encourage practitioner to learn those moves, under the absolute power of the sword fight skills those sword moves only play a subsidiary role, as they are only used to help the swordsman to familiar with the sword!

It does not matter that chu yun sheng did not understand the ancient book’s sword skill. he already prepared a lot of martial art documents during the age of light, some from the bookstores, some downloaded from the internet, now it's a good time to use them.


The basic sword movements are consist of hook, parry, poke, upward flick, stab, hack etc, Chu yun sheng surely will not learn all of them, it is both time-consuming and difficult to remember, his only threat right now is red shell insect, so the sword movement should be used to deal with insect’s weakness.


Chu Yunsheng was recalling the red shell insects’ movement while looking for all the sword movement's information, he now wants to sort out a set of the most simple and most practical swordsmanship.


Red shell insects usually jump towards the prey, use claws to cut the target into the half, or use legs to piercing through prey, if the attack did not work, then they will spit corrosive saliva instead. so it can be said that although their attacks are very powerful, but their attacks methods are not complicated.


With his ability right now and also with the help of the armour and liu jia yuan fu's double protection, the insect's attacks are less effective, if he has enough yuan qi, he could defend insect’s attack many times. in addition to that, the qian bi sword will be unstoppable after he fills sword with yuan qi .

Based on those factors, Chu yun sheng has sorted out three offensive sword movements.

The first move is a head hack, he named it as sword chop form: he has to hold the sword up use both hands, wait until the insect gets close, then hack from the top, arm and sword should stay in a straight line, so both of strength and yuan qi could reach all the way to the sword point, and hack insect from its head!


If the insect doesn't dodge, then his head which is the weakest point in the whole body will be hit, the damage could injure it, may even kill it!


Of course, it's based on if he can accurately hit the insect’s head. if the insect moves too fast, or he hacks too slow, then he will hit the shell which is the strongest point in the whole body!


If the insect dodge or he couldn't hit its head, then he could use second form: Sword Slice Form!


Slice form is easy and practical. when the first form failed, sword blade will drop down at a lower position, at that time, depends on where the insect is, slice sword up left or up right.

If insect tries to escape, it could easily jump over Chu yun sheng, then he could perform the final sword form upward flick, stab straight into its belly!

1.Qian jun bi yi means causes thousands of army to retreat. / Ward off thousands army.
