Chapter 84 Strange Situation
Chapter 84 Strange Situation
Long Ming and the girls spent seven days in the inner circle of Southern Green Mountain. Long Ming realized that other than two out of twelve, all other girls used swords as weapons.
Long Ming used his comprehension of sword intent and fought with them in the morning. It was pure training of physical ability and true qi manipulation. With the added Weighing Bracers, all of the poor girls got beaten by Long Ming's wooden sword.
After that, Long Ming would give them missions to hunt demonic beasts.
Long Ming divided the group of ten into two groups of five. While Chen Yin and Lin Xie led each of their group, both had two True Core Formation Realm and three Violet Palace Expansion Realm disciples under them.
Long Ming realized that increasing personal strength is good, but a good team can tackle even a larger threat by themselves.
After studying some scriptures which he got from the treasure vault of Black Pearl City, Long Ming spent three days and three nights creating the battle formation.
Currently, Long Ming gave them the task of hunting a Thousand year old Steel Back Rhino which got the same power as a Mid grade Primordial Spirit Unification Realm cultivator.
Not to mention, its defense is something even a High grade Primordial Spirit realm cultivation can't break through easily.
Lin Xie shouted when the rhino charged at them. " Sisters, stay in the formation. Follow the instruction of Senior Brother!"
Since Lin Xie was the most powerful among the group, she stayed in the front and assaulted the rhino directly. Meanwhile, Shui Huan and the other two remained by Lin Xie's side as they supported her.
*ROOAAAR*
The rhino was more than thirty meters in height and its body shone with a pale silver color. It raised its horn and charged toward the group. The horn shone with an oppressive light as a beam shot out from it.
" Hurry up and block!"
Lin Xie and Shui Huan along with other True Core Formation realm cultivators raised their swords as it created a barrier around the. Their sword shone as the beam hit the barrier.
" Sister Lin, we are ready! You can go ahead and attack."
Three three Violet Palace Expansion Realm girls charged forward as their swords shone with cold lights.
" Flaming Sword Slash!"
" Gentle Wind Cut!"
*ROOAAR*
The rhino growled as its horn shone again. Stomping its feet on the ground, it charged at the Violet Palace Expansion Realm disciples.
The trio hurried and retreated, giving Lin Xie and Shui Huan the forward position. Since the rhino got distracted, Shui Huan and Lin Xie launched a pincer attack.
" Bone Freezing Icy Rays!"
The rhino got enough intelligence to notice that Lin Xie is the biggest threat to it. Therefore, he focused on Lin Xie, giving Shui Huan and others a chance.
However, Lin Xie smiled as both of her palms shone with an icy light. She didn't want to attack the rhino in the first place.
Suddenly, a cold whirlwind swirled as the rhino's skin shone. Although it blocked the cold penetrating, it realized that its feel got covered with snow, making its movement turn slow.
" Now! At its neck!" Shu Huan's saber blazed with a blazing light as a giant saber of flame condensed, hacking toward the rhino's neck.
The rhino became startled as he realized he fell into a trap. It roared as it's steel colored skin hardened and it tried to block the attack of Shui Huan.
" Don't let it!"
" Block!"
All the disciples attacked the rhino from all directions, not giving it a chance to block Shui Huan's attack.
The element of surprise is the thing that disrupted the rhino's mind, letting it make a fatal mistake.
*BOOM BOOM*
The flaming saber pierced through its neck, which is a weak spot on its hardened body. The rhino gave a roar of agony as blood spurt from its neck. It turned around and tried to escape, But a giant frozen sword fell from the sky, piercing its head.
Lin Xie controlled many of those frozen ice swords and threw them at the rhino's body, finally killing it.
" We…We did it?"
" We did it! We killed a Thousand Year old demon beasts on our own!"
All of them became excited when they saw the rhino's body falling on thrground. Shui Huan wiped her sweat as a smile of victory appeared on her lips.
" Haha! Senior Brother is so wise. Just by following his advice, our team took down a thousand year old demon beast without much injury."
Lin Xie slashed her sword and took the core of the demon beast. The core of a thousand year old demon beast will cost hundreds of thousands of mid grade spirit stones.
Meanwhile, Chen Yin and others also managed to kill two low grade Primordial Spirit realm demon beasts who were five hundred years old. Long Ming used his Heavenly Revelation eyes as he looked at the situation from far.
No matter what, without experience, theoretical knowledge is simply worthless. The disciples of Four Seasons Valley must understand the value of life and the thrill of death. Only in a critical situation, they will be able to bring out their full potential.
" Wow, You are a pretty cruel trainer, aren't you?" Luo Yingying stood beside Long Ming as she spoke.
" Have you made it?"
" Yes, The communication jade bracelet is finished." Luo Yingying sighed as she stretched her body. " Heavens, I have been constantly refining them for the past week. After many trials and errors, all of my materials are almost finished. However, I made one for everyone."
" Eh, At your stage, you are still making mistakes?" Long Ming raised his eyebrows. " I thought you can refine bracelets without any failures."
" Who do you think I am?" Luo Yingying rolled her eyes. " My refinement chances are 60%. It's already higher than any average runemaster."
" Heh…" Long Ming only chuckled, but he didn't say anything else.
Soon, all the disciples returned as the piles of demon beasts' corpses were before Long Ming.
" Senior Brother, We did it!"
" Hehe, I can see that my battle proficiency increased quite much."
Shui Huan nodded. " I can feel it. With a bit more effort, I will be able to reach the Perfection stage of my Earth grade technique. And after that, I might be able to switch to the Sky grade technique: Hellfire Saber Arts."
All of them became startled when they heard that. Long Ming nodded when he heard that. " I am glad that all of you able to improve yourself here."
Luo Yingying stepped forward and distributed the communication bracelets. " Always keep this bracelet with you. Within the range of ten kilometers, you will be able to communicate among yourselves unless there is a strong interfering force."
" Not to mention, Due to the Wine Gathering event of the Liu Family and the Imperial Tournament, many people are coming to Southern Green Mountain to train. We already met two groups of cultivators." Long Ming spoke. " Therefore, you need to keep yourself safe no matter what."
" Yes, Senior Brother!"
All of them shouted in unison. Long Ming was pleased when he saw their reactions.
" Alright, Since you guys did so well today, I will reward you." Long Ming laughed.
" So, What should I prepare for lunch?"

It was already a week since they started their training. The immature aura of the Four Seasons Sect's disciples vanished as they are filled with resolution. Even those who are weaker than the main force also did their job well as supporting party members.
The Southern Green Mountain was too vast, vast enough to swallow a few cities like Grand Sky City within it. All sorts of strange and exotic flora and fauna are hidden in it.
Long Ming not only explained the traits of demon beasts, but he also helped the disciples to learn a bit about nature and medicinal herbs along with their uses.
Of course, in return, Long Ming's AP skyrocketed, almost reaching 70,000 in a week.
They constantly moved within the forest as they slowly moved toward the Southern Green Town, that was under the Liu Family.
" Huh?"
" Is that an emergency signal?"
Shui Huan pointed at the sky as they saw a red flare shooting into the sky.
Emergency signals were commonly used by cultivators who venture into dangerous places like Southern Green Mountain's Inner Circle. It was a sort of distress signal that signifies that they are in a dire situation and they need help.
Any other cultivator who sees it might go there to save them.
But that only happened in good cases.
' No way someone will just rush and save random people who sent distress signals in the wild. This is the immortal world, not Earth.' Long Ming pondered.
" Senior Brother, We should go!" Shui Huan spoke.
" Indeed, We should check what is happening there. Maybe we can save someone's life?" Lin XIe spoke. Luo Yingying didn't say anything as she kept looking at Long Ming.
Long Ming rubbed his chin as he looked at them. " Wait here. I will go first. Come when I signal you."
Long Ming was confident in his concealing ability of Nether Dragon Void Devouring Physique. Not to mention, with the traits of Spatial Light Phsyique, he got a better chance to escape if anything goes wrong.
Long Ming arrived and saw the scene.
Suddenly, his worried face turned strange and he almost burst out laughing. He pondered something as he used his communication talisman.
" Everyone, come here. We got a pretty peculiar situation."
It didn't take much time before the girls reached there. They were shocked when they saw the scene.
A group of men protecting a girl from a bunch of bandits. As they battled, one could understand the situation from their shouts.
It looks like the group was a group of rouge cultivators who came to train in the Southern Green Mountain. They met the helpless girl and after listening to the stories of bandits and the bounty on their heads, they decided to follow her.
And then, they met the bandits and the fight broke out.
" Senior Brother, I heard that the bandits in Southern Green Mountains are very cruel and heinous! We should help those cultivators to kill the bandits!"
" Agreed! We must kill those scum."
" That poor girl… We must avenge her."
Long Ming chuckled as all of them watched the scene from a safe distance.
" No, No one is going there. And that girl…She is not innocent."
" Huh?"
Everyone became stunned when they heard Long Ming.
