Shadow Mask Group

9 - Last Training

Liu Chen stood tall in front of the undead group that was a demonic beast. In front of him, there were about 1,000 demonic beasts of various sizes, shapes and ages.

In fact, this was not up to three-quarters of the demonic beasts Zhao Feng had on this island. However, he couldn't possibly bring out his three-quarters demonic beast. Because it was impossible for Liu Chen to win, when fighting all of them at once. Going against 1,000 would be very difficult.

Liu Chen stared intently at the undead army in front of him. He was extremely wary at this moment when he saw the number of undead his teacher had. Liu Chen thought this was already three quarters of the undead belonging to his teacher. Because the undead he saw were so many.

"Are you ready, Chen'er?" said Zhao Feng who was now flying in the air.

Liu Chen did not turn his gaze away from the undead army. He just nodded and said. "I'm ready teacher!"

Zhao Feng nodded. He began to order his undead undead to attack Liu Chen. Instantly 500 of them directly attacked Liu Chen.

Liu Chen stood straight without fear. He gripped his sword firmly.

Ggrraaoo

Ggrrrrr

Sssstttts

The 500 demonic beasts attacked Liu Chen in turn. While Liu Chen for the time being was still holding on, Liu Chen jumped back. He stuck his sword on the ground with his hand still holding the handle.

"Element of fire:sea of fire"

Instantly the flames spread out, from the ground where Liu Chen's sword was struck, towards the sea of undead.

Some demonic beasts instantly caught fire. The rest have wounds. But there are also good ones because they have a strong defense.

Even though they were injured, they did not feel pain. They immediately ran towards Liu Chen and attacked again when the fire was extinguished.

Liu Chen took out his sword which was stuck. He also directly ran towards that sea of undead. "The first technique: shadow steps"

Liu Chen moved quickly between the group of demonic beasts while clasping his sword Qi tightly, he slashed down one by one the demonic beasts that were there.

Some of them were able to dodge because they had almost the same speed as Liu Chen who wore shadow steps.

Liu Chen was suddenly attacked from the side by a rhinoceros-shaped demonic beast. It has one horn in front, but on the back there are also sharp thorns. This demonic beast is called a hedgehog rhino. He is as good as a porcupine bear, unable to release his thorn as a hedgehog can do.

Liu Chen, who was aware of the side attack, directly exposed his body position to the hedgehog rhino. Liu Chen immediately resisted the ramming attack from the hedgehog rhino. Then, shortly another demon attacked Liu Chen from behind.

Liu Chen immediately jumped up and made the demonic beast hit the hedgehog rhinoceros. Finally Liu Chen stood quietly on top of the two demonic beasts that were now stacking on top of each other.

Until Liu Chen suddenly disappeared from there and appeared in a different place. He defeated a demonic beast with a power lower than the others first so that his fight later with a high-level demonic beast, was not hindered by this low-level demonic beast.

Liu Chen continued to disappear by using his first-rate shadow step skill. Occasionally there would be explosive explosions coming from the scene where Liu Chen had appeared.

Zhao Feng who saw the fight Liu Chen smiled. Liu Chen had excellent Qi control. Liu Chen was also able to defeat these many undead he issued. "Indeed very great. He has better reflexes and better instincts. It's not wrong I gave him the training I gave him. I thought it was too much, but it didn't seem like it" Zhao Feng murmured.

Liu Chen dodged the attacks from the high-level demonic beasts that blocked his plan to defeat the low-level demonic beasts. Liu Chen now had to dodge the fireball attack issued by a lion-shaped demonic beast.

Liu Chen dodged it easily, even the fireball hit another demonic beast. Liu Chen stuck out his tongue. "Bwee, it's not right"

Not stopping there, it turned out that the lion threw a fireball out of his mouth again and again Liu Chen avoided it easily.

"This is my turn to attack!", Liu Chen instantly disappeared from there and appeared in midair. He appeared to be flying, since he was already at the emperor level, so it was no wonder that Liu Chen could fly now.

Liu Chen gripped his sword firmly. After which, he immediately raised his sword with a chin-high tip.

"Fire element:fire pillar"

Liu Chen directly positioned the sharp tip of the sword to the right side. Then, again change the position of the tip of the sword to face the undead crowd. Liu Chen threw his sword at the crowd, causing the sword to stick.

Not only did it get there, after the sword was stuck, it arrived from the underground, and a blaze immediately burst into the sky with a large size. The fire went straight to the sky until it formed like a pillar.

All of the demonic beasts that were in the pillar area instantly burned into dust quickly. The pillar of fire only happened for a few seconds before it finally disappeared, leaving behind a sword that had turned into dust and soil that formed a basin.

Liu Chen spent quite a lot of Qi. But he doesn't look exhausted. It even seems to be getting excited.

Seeing the attack his disciple made, Zhao Feng was shocked. He did not know about the manner Liu Chen had done earlier. But he remembered something. "Teacher, I'll show you my homemade style later in the last training"

Zhao Feng was amazed at his disciple. It turned out that the moves Liu Chen had said were great. Moreover, that stance was that of Liu Chen himself.

Liu Chen instantly descended and landed on top of a demonic beast. He immediately took out another sword from the space ring and poured Qi into the sword.

Liu Chen instantly beheaded the demonic beast he was riding on. After that Liu Chen immediately jumped down. "Come here!"

Instantly all the remaining demonic beasts attacked towards Liu Chen.

Meanwhile, somewhere. There was a young man crouching beside a tombstone. He feels sorry for himself. "Sister, I'm sorry brother can't take care of you. My sister is not a good sister. I don't deserve to be called a sister because I can't protect you. Instead, I will protect my father and mother, I will not let anything bad happen to them", she hugged the tombstone crying.

He remembers the time he spent with his sister. That was so much fun. But now it must end, he can not meet his sister again for good.

On the tombstone, it says the name 'Chen'. While the young man who was crouched beside the tombstone was Liu Changyi, the elder brother of Liu Chen. He thought his sister was dead. A few years ago when he came home, he heard that his brother had entered the forest.

Then, he followed his parents to look for Liu Chen for up to 1 year. While his parents had been searching for 2 years with 1 year before Liu Changyi came looking. But not find it either. Many residents said Liu Chen had died in the hands of a wild animal.

Finally Liu Hongli, Li Wei and Liu Changyi resignedly searched for Liu Chen after 1 year. Although they still did not accept that Liu Chen was dead, they did not want to continue to be dissolved in grief. Because Liu Chen must be sad in nature.

"Chen'er, I love you. Forgive your brother", Liu Changyi hugged the tombstone as if he did not want to be separated from it.

In a large neutral sect, it appeared that they were celebrating something.

They look very happy. That's because their future patriarch candidate who they thought was dead, was still alive. It was a very encouraging thing, especially for the second elder. Which, he was the elder brother of a future patriarch.

Everyone gathered in the field and ate a meal together.

Seen in a room two people of different ages. One of them was a young man in white clothes and looked very handsome. While the other one is dressed the same, namely white, he is also no less handsome. He was older than the young man in front of him at the moment.

The age of the young man was 17 years. While the other one is 35, he has a face that looks young.

That young man is the future patriarch. At that age, a 7-year-old can become a 5-star beginner level cultivator. Until the young man suddenly disappeared when he was 12 years old, which at that time he was at the level of a 3-star master. He was a genius of genius though, for he reached that level at the age of 12. He was made a future patriarch.

But he disappeared somewhere during those 12 years. Many sect members were looking for her whereabouts. But not found either. They finally left after almost a year of searching.

"No idea", that's the answer the sister gave her brother. His tone sounded flat, his facial expression was also flat. His name was Zhang Jiangwu. While his older brother who sat in front, was named Zhang Bingjie.

Zhang Bingjie already knew how his sister was, so he did not take the blame for her words too much. "How do you not know, you're the one who left without telling us. Let's quickly say, where have you been all this time Wu'er? What the hell are you doing? Did you make trouble for someone else? Let's quickly say", he was like urging his sister to talk.

"Practice", that was the answer Zhang Jingwu gave.

Yet still, Zhang Bingjie was curious. He was already looking for his sister along with many people in the sect. But didn't find it until this one year. So he wondered where his sister was training.

"Where are you practicing? With who? How can you reach the warrior level within these 5 years, Wu'er? Although I am happy with your achievement, but I also want to know how you can be this fast at the warrior level. I know you're a genius, more genius than any other genius, but master level to warrior level within 5 years, that's impossible. You must have a lot of resources to achieve it, you must also have a very great talent. Then where did you get those resources? Not stealing, right? Although I know, you can't do that, but I still ask. So now Wu'er replied, where did you get those resources?"

"Teacher"

"You mean, patriarch? But patriarch alone could not possibly have that much resources"

His sister shook her head slowly.

"Then, who's the teacher you said Wu'er? Although the patriarch is not your teacher, the patriarch wants you to be his student. So I thought you were his student. Then who's the teacher you said, Wu'er if not the patriarch?"

"Teacher Yu"

"Who is that?"

"My teacher"

"Yes, I mean who the hell is he?"

"....." His sister answered nothing. His teacher's name was Zhao Yu.

"Aish.don't tell me you don't know who he is?" zhang Binjie said as he shook his head.

"One of the legendary"

Zhang Bingjie was silent for a moment. Also laugh. "Hahaha, that's right Wu'er. You mean one of the legends of the four people who defeated the demon lord? Don't joke Wu'er. The four people were already dead after fighting against the demon lord. There's no way they're alive right now. Moreover, it's been 1,000 years since that war"

"Spirit stone" Zhang Jiangwu said in seriousness. His expression looked flat, but his gaze contained seriousness.

When he heard the name spirit stone, Zhang Bingjie was shocked. "Ba-stone spirit? You mean, you learned from his soul fragments? Is that so, Wu'er?"

Zhang Jiangwu nodded.

"Why?", Zhang Bingjie stared in disbelief at his younger brother. If it was true that his younger brother learned from one of the legends, it meant that this younger brother must have great power and was likely hidden by Zhang Jiangwu. Also, there must be something that happened to make one of the legends put a fragment of his soul or the legend has its own reasons for doing that.

"So, the reason you disappeared all this time? Because of one of those legends?"

Zhang Jiangwu nodded at his brother's words.

"Then, what is the name of the legend that became your teacher?"

"Teacher Zhao Yu"

"Zha-zhao Yu?" surprised Zhang Bingjie.

By the time it was late afternoon, Liu Chen had already finished off almost all of his opponents. Now all that was left was a human undead totaling 3 people.

Liu Chen looked exhausted. The Qi in his body was already drained a lot. He had already once eaten a Qi-enhancing pill. So that it can still survive. Not because of the pill, but because of his hard work.

Zhao Feng made a human undead after Liu Chen finished off all the undead demonic beasts. The two human undead were at the warrior level and the only general level.

Liu Chen was able to swallow pills as well because he was granted permission by Zhao Feng to swallow the pills once. So Liu Chen couldn't do it anymore, even though he still had it.

Sweat was visible on Liu Chen's forehead. Some parts of his clothes were torn and there were blood spots. Liu Chen wiped the blood on the edge of his lips and looked at the three undead.

The gazes of the three undead were empty, as they were only undead and not resurrected corpses.

Zhao Feng did not fly in the air anymore. He observed from the top of the tree that was quite far away from where Liu Chen was. The fragment of his soul would not last long if he continued flying through the air. Because it would drain the Qi stored on the shards of his soul.

The three undead immediately dashed towards Liu Chen. They each carried their own swords. They swung their swords in turn. Liu Chen instantly dodged all of the sword attacks that led to him.

One of the undead instantly disappeared and appeared behind Liu Chen. He swung his sword. Liu Chen reflexively dodged to the side. However as the undead were faster, Liu Chen was still hit by the sword scratches on his back.

Liu Chen grimaced slightly when hit by the attack. He immediately jumped high forward and somersaulted in the air. Liu Chen turned his back on the three undead. He turned his body, then faced the three undead.

"I'm so tired, but I won't lose!"

Liu Chen instantly took out the sword that was in his spatial ring. His sword was reduced a lot, originally the sword that was in his spatial ring formed a medium mountain. But it is now a small mountain with most intermediate levels and there are only a few high levels.

Liu Chen directly advanced and swung the sword that was fed by Qi. The three undead did not stand still, they attacked from three directions and made Liu Chen difficult. Liu Chen immediately crouched down and straightened one leg forward and hooked it on the leg of the undead in front of him, which made the one undead in front of him fall down.

While the undead on the right and left sides appear to be clashing swords. However not for long they immediately turned their gazes to Liu Chen who was still crouching. They began to swing their swords towards Liu Chen.

Liu Chen bent his legs firmly. He jumped straight up before the sword hit him. As a result, the sword hit the undead that was still lying down and cut its body into pieces.

Liu Chen who was still in the air immediately rested on both shoulders of one of the undead. Afterwards Liu Chen jumped up and somersaulted in the air until he finally treaded on the ground smoothly. His position turned his back on the two remaining undead.

The two remaining undead instantly swung the sword from two directions, the right and left of Liu Chen. Liu Chen immediately banged his body backwards until both of his hands hit the ground. After the sword had clashed for a few seconds and now the sword had moved away from each other, Liu Chen finally stood up straight again and directly swung the sword into one of the undead in his right to make the undead head detach from its place.

The remaining undead directly flowed the lightning element on his sword to create sparks of electric sparks on the sword.

Liu Chen immediately jumped back. The undead in front of him instantly dashed towards him which made Liu Chen have to dodge all those undead attacks. He immediately kicked towards the belly of the undead making it a bit crashed a few steps. Liu Chen directly poured Qi into his sword. He jumped up high and swung his sword towards the undead who were still lying down.

The undead instantly rolled to the side making Liu Chen's attack hit the ground. The nearby Undead instantly stood up and charged towards Liu Chen with his lightning-powered sword.

Liu Chen instantly held the hand of the undead grasping the sword. He immediately twisted it and he immediately swung the sword towards the neck of the undead to make his head disappear from its place.

Liu Chen immediately released that hand grip. He immediately swung the sword from top to bottom sideways and made the blood on his sword hit the ground.

Liu Chen put his sword back in. He lay down on the ground tired. If only Zhao Feng had not reduced the speed or movement of that human undead and demonic beast earlier, perhaps Liu Chen would not have won so quickly like this. Liu Chen knew that as well. Because he could see the movements of the human undead as well as the demonic beast were restricted and the power expended was not entirely.

Zhao Feng walked over to Liu Chen. Smile too.
