Chapter 190 - 187: Tailing
The Three Heroes of Xibei galloped onward on their sturdy steeds.
"Tch. You three pieces of trash actually thought you could rob me!"
Watching the retreating figures of the Three Heroes of Xibei, Ye Xing sneered, flicked his reins, and began to tail them.
’Even though the Three Heroes of Xibei were all at the Martial Arts Fifth Realm, I don’t see them as a threat.’ Although Ye Xing’s Inner Power Cultivation was only at the Martial Arts Fourth Realm, the power of his Entry Realm `Gale Sword Skill` was immense. Supplemented by several Earth-tier External Skills, his true combat prowess had already crossed into the Fifth Realm. In fact, he wasn’t even a low-level Fifth Realm practitioner; he had personally slain the Great Village Chief of Triangular Mountain, another master at the Martial Arts Fifth Realm.
’If the three brothers dared to make a move, I wouldn’t mind sending them to their graves.’
Martial Arts Manuals were divided into four great levels: Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow. Yellow-level Manuals were the lowest tier, typically practiced by Martial Artists in the Qi Cultivation Stage, from the Martial Arts First to Third Realm. Mystic-level Manuals were mid-tier, generally used by Martial Artists in the Qi Gathering Stage, from the Martial Arts Fourth to Sixth Realm. Even some struggling Seventh and Eighth Realm Martial Artists only had access to Mystic-level Manuals. As for Earth-tier Manuals, they were considered exceptionally precious. Usually, only those at the Martial Arts Seventh Realm or higher were qualified to practice them, and even some Innate Powerhouses relied on Earth-tier Manuals. As for the Celestial Skill Treasure Manuals, which were above the Earth Tier, they were exceedingly rare. One would be hard-pressed to find more than a handful in the entire Southern Tang Country. Typically, only Major Sects possessed such manuals, which they treasured as sect-defining artifacts.
Therefore, the `Gale Sword Skill`, an Earth tier Top Grade Sword Skill, was already incredibly formidable. It could completely compensate for Ye Xing’s weakness in Inner Strength, especially when combined with his other techniques. Forget about Martial Artists at the Fifth Realm; Ye Xing was confident he could even escape from a Sixth Realm or a Martial Arts Seventh Realm Qi Condensation Stage expert.
"HAH!" "CLIP-CLOP-CLOP!"
"CLIP-CLOP-CLOP!" "CLIP-CLOP-CLOP!"
On the dirt road, the horses galloped at full speed, kicking up clouds of dust. Ye Xing followed, tracking the Three Heroes of Xibei. ’The Eight Treasures Profound Spirit Pill is a treasure for increasing one’s Inner Power Cultivation. How could I possibly give it up? Even if I have to, I’ll freaking snatch one for myself.’ Day and night, all he could think about was breaking through to the Innate Realm as soon as possible so he could reunite with Mengxue.
’Without power, you lose so much of what you desire. All your anger can only be buried in your heart as you hide in a dark corner, slowly licking your wounds. That’s the way of the weak, and I refuse to be that powerless man.’
The Eight Treasures Profound Spirit Pill was a rare and precious Miracle Elixir capable of rapidly advancing one’s Cultivation, and Ye Xing was desperate to obtain it. Since the Three Heroes of Xibei and other people of the martial world happened to know its whereabouts, Ye Xing naturally followed them. He would join the crowd of contenders, assess the situation, and then seize the right moment to make his move.
The wide dirt road undulated with rises and falls, and the green trees on either side flew past in a blur.
After riding for about ten minutes, they came to an inn at a fork in the road. A tall flagpole stood before it, from which a banner unfurled. On it were four large words, written in a powerful, flamboyant script: Wind and Cloud Inn. The banner snapped and billowed in the wind.
The Wind and Cloud Inn was more than just a place for food and lodging. It was a gathering spot for people from all walks of life. Though it attracted a motley crew of both the righteous and the villainous, it was an excellent place to gather information.
Ye Xing watched as the Three Heroes of Xibei and the other people of the martial world entered the Wind and Cloud Inn. He stabled his horse and then followed them inside.
