Eternal Life: My Talents Can Refresh-Chapter 238 - 142: Stunning as a Celestial, Thousand Lakes and Thousand Islands
This place is so bloody, with bodies all over, it’s naturally not suitable to stay any longer.
So, everyone walked a few miles forward.
At this moment, Cheng Jinhe roughly knew what had happened before, and naturally expressed his gratitude and praise repeatedly to everyone.
He was even warmer towards Chu Ning by three degrees.
The few recruits didn’t have much thought about this.
Strength is respected, in the Cultivation Realm it’s like this, and in the Mortal Realm as well.
Everyone settled down, but after what just happened, most of them were wide awake.
The middle-aged man in grey, Yu Zhengchun, unexpectedly began to chat with Chu Ning proactively.
"I don’t know what kind of swordsmanship Young Hero Chu has? Just now, I saw the moves were plain, yet each one was extremely practical and exquisite.
This swordsmanship is indeed unheard of."
Hearing this, Chu Ning glanced at Yu Zhengchun.
This person usually didn’t talk much, both sides had spoken less than ten sentences in a month.
Seeing not only Yu Zhengchun’s eyes were filled with curiosity, but everyone else was also looking over with great curiosity.
Chu Ning smiled and said, "I’m afraid Brother Yu and others have never heard of this swordsmanship, it’s called the Nine Swords of Dugu."
"The Nine Swords of Dugu?"
"The Nine Swords of Dugu?"
As soon as Chu Ning’s words fell, it immediately elicited a few low exclamations.
Yu Zhengchun and the others even showed expressions of deep thought on their faces, seeming to ponder what sect this martial art belongs to.
Chu Ning secretly smiled to himself and continued:
"This set of swordsmanship emphasizes striking later with precision, triumphing over moves with no moves.
So when Brother Yu saw my swordsmanship, naturally there were no moves to speak of."
Hearing Chu Ning’s words, the martial artists present couldn’t help but look at each other, many showing expressions of astonishment.
At this moment, Chu Ning stopped saying more, putting on an enigmatic appearance.
Even though the others were full of questions, it was inappropriate to ask at this moment.
After all, asking more might touch on someone else’s cultivation secrets.
Yu Zhengchun also stood up from Chu Ning’s side, looking serious.
Vaguely, he exchanged a glance with Shen Shaohai not far away.
The two pretended to unintentionally walk aside one after the other, then found a place to sit down.
Shen Shaohai continued to carve with a wooden root, while Yu Zhengchun watched with great interest, but his gaze was fixed on the crowd.
The two whispered in voices only audible to those nearby.
"Fifth brother, do you think we should still do this tomorrow?"
Yu Zhengchun asked Shen Shaohai in a low voice.
Shen Shaohai’s expression was grim, "Big brother, are you backing out?"
"I don’t know the background of this Chu, but his strength is indeed too strong."
Worry filled Yu Zhengchun’s eyes.
"Today we deliberately spread the word to lure this gang of bandits, but they didn’t suffer many losses at all. I’m worried..."
Yu Zhengchun stopped without saying more.
Upon hearing this, a fierce look flashed in Shen Shaohai’s eyes.
"Big brother, no matter how strong he is, he’s just one person. If we can’t beat him openly, can’t we do it secretly?
Tomorrow we’ll find an opportunity and attack directly, as long as we deal with this Chu.
Then Li Song and the others will be at our mercy."
Upon hearing Shen Shaohai’s plan, Yu Zhengchun’s expression wavered slightly.
"Fifth brother, how confident are you?"
"Eighty percent!" Shen Shaohai said confidently.
"Don’t you trust my hidden weapons? Moreover, we have Third Brother and Fourth Sister to assist."
Yu Zhengchun hesitated for a while before gritting his teeth and saying:
"Alright, let’s go according to the original plan and act on it.
We’ve worked hard for over a month, we can’t let that kid ruin it alone."
Upon hearing this, a smile finally appeared on Shen Shaohai’s face.
"That’s right, there’s no need to say more to them, just give a signal when the time comes."
After reaching an agreement, Yu Zhengchun pretended to be bored, got up, and walked around.
Meanwhile, Shen Shaohai continued his carving.
Their actions and expressions were so natural that no one could tell anything was amiss.
However, they were completely unaware that every word they said was vividly captured by Chu Ning.
"I really guessed correctly, these people indeed know each other and have intentions."
Chu Ning mused to himself.
His Spiritual Sense was sharp and had already been suspicious. Although they pretended not to know each other before,
their unintentional little interactions had long been noticed by Chu Ning.
At this moment, Chu Ning pretended to be oblivious, closed his eyes, and continued cultivating the Refining Spirit Technique.
The night passed without words, and early the next morning, everyone continued their journey with some weariness.
"Keep up the spirit, everyone, if we quicken our pace, we can cross Beigang Gou by noon and reach the town ahead by afternoon.
There, we’ll have a good rest for the night."
Li Song shouted decisively; after a night of turmoil, he was still full of energy.
Under his call, everyone set off again, mustering their spirits to continue on.
But by noon, upon reaching Beigang Gou, the entire team was in low spirits, everyone was drowsy.
After all, they hadn’t rested all night and continued to rush forward, they weren’t made of iron.
