Dominating Sword Immortal Chapter 197 - Cultivation in the Cave

噗嗤！

Puchi!

纸被裁开的声音响起，金先生的护体真气在这一剑下并没有坚持多长时间，很快被一劈两半，淡蓝色的剑光在他的胸膛划出一条血线，斜斜的，干脆利落。

The sound of paper cut resounded. Mister Jin’s protective body True Qi had not lasted that long time of a time under this sword and was quickly divided into two halves. Light blue color sword light had drawn a bloody line across his chest, slanted and clear-cut.

“竟然一剑劈开我的防御，你也给我死。”

“A sword had actually broke my defense. Die!”

染血的身体往后倒飞，金先生神色狰狞，扣在拇指上的黄金色中指弹了出去，强大的指力同样洞穿叶尘的护体真气，落在他的胸膛上。

His bloodstained body flew backwards. The expression on Mister Jin’s face was fierce. THe golden middle finger that was hooked on his thumb sprung out. The formidable strength of the finger pierced Ye Chen’s protecting body True Qi similarly, landing on his chest.

砰！

Peng!

叶尘只感觉胸口如遭雷击，肋骨断裂的声音清晰可闻，而后一股巨大的冲击力把他冲飞出去。

Ye Chen only felt that the chest such as was struck by lightning, the sound of rib break may hear clearly, then a huge impulse him to flying.

从原宗博这个角度看，根本不知道谁先中招，谁后中招，只看到叶尘挥剑，金先生弹指，旋即两人一齐倒飞。

Looking from Yuan Zongbo’s angle, he did not know who made the first move. He only saw Ye Chen brandish a sword, Mister Jin flicking his finger, and all at once, they flew upside down.

“嘿嘿，两败俱伤最好，血鹰五剑！”

“Hehe, it’s best if two sustained injuries without fail. Five Bloody Eagle Sword!”

雄浑的真气灌注到宝剑之上，原宗博在叶尘受伤的一霎那，手臂化为一片幻影，眨眼挥出五道剑气。

Vigorous True Qi poured into to Treasure Sword from above. In the instant that Ye Chen was injured, Yuan Zongbo’s arm changed into an illusory image, suddenly wielding five Sword Qi.

这五道剑气一前两上两下，组成雄鹰的利嘴，巨大的翅膀以及那一双洞穿精钢的利爪，极快的俯冲向叶尘，沿途触碰到的空气顿时被切割的七零八落，聚合不起来。

These five Sword Qi were arranged as such, one went forwards whilst two were above and the other two were below, forming the glibness of an eagle. The giant wing as well as that pair of fine steel piercing sharp claws, dived toward Ye Chen in an extremely fast speed. The air that moved along the way was immediately cut into inconsistency and could not gather together.

“早就提防着你。”

“I’ve been guarding against you since the start!”

身体还在往后倒射，不知何时，叶尘食指虚幻起来，指边的空气急剧扭曲，泛起细微波纹。

His body was still falling backwards, but it was not known when that Ye Chen’s index finger became illusory. The air around his finger rapidly convoluted and slight ripples appeared.

“中！”

“Hit!”

眼睛看也不看，叶尘一指点向左后侧。

Not looking, Ye Chen pointed towards the back on his left side.

砰砰砰砰砰……

Peng x6…

凌厉的血红剑气一触即溃，食指虚影从中穿过，点在原宗博的护体真气上。

Swift and fierce blood red Sword Qi collapsed at the first encounter. The index finger phantomly passed through and landed on Yuan Zongbo’s protecting body True Qi.

护体真气炸开，原宗博闷哼一声，干枯的身体应声落下。

The protective body True Qi exploded and Yuan Zongbo snorted. His withered body fell accordingly.

三败俱伤！

All three were injured without exception!

局面赫然是三败俱伤，谁也没占到上风。

The situation was such that the three were injured without exception and no one was currently winning.

“这小子真他妈难缠！”

“This boy is really fucking troublesome!”

原宗博和金先生心中都是如此想的，把他们换成叶尘，哪怕战力增加三成，也绝对斗不过两人的联手，但打着打着就陷入对方的打法之中，硬是被牵着鼻子走，五分优势变成了四分，四分变成三分，现在三分优势也很快消失，成了平局，三败俱伤的平局。

Yuan Zongbo and in the Mister Jin were thinking that they were the one in Ye Chen’s shoes, even if their Battle Strength increased by 30%, they absolutely would not be unable to fight with them collaborating. But their attacks were falling into the fighting method of opposite party, continuously being led by the nose. Five points of superiority turned into four points, four points turn into three points, and now three points of superiority had also quickly vanished, ending in a tie where all three of them were injured. .

“此子不杀，永无安宁之日。”

“If we don’t kill that way, we will never have a day of peace.”

嘴里呕出一口鲜血，金先生往伤口处撒了些愈合药粉，刚一落地，人便狂冲向叶尘，拉出一道道残影。

He vomited out a mouthful of blood. Mister Jin scattered some cicatrization medicinal powder towards his wound. When he just fell to the ground, he then crazily fired towards Ye Chen, pulling out afterimage after afterimage.

“对，绝不能让他活着离开，哪怕付出点代价也在所不惜。”

“That’s right, we definitely cannot let him leave this place alive. Even if we pay a certain price, it will not be in vain!”

若是没有金先生在此，原宗博早就退走了，现在占着两人之力，还有杀叶尘的机会，一旦让他逃了，以后说不得要提心吊胆，见金先生冲向叶尘，原宗博顾不得伤痕累累的身体，体外凝结出血色真气雄鹰，翅膀一振，在空气中划出腥红的弧线。

If Mister Jin was not here, Yuan Zongbo would have already retreated. Now, with both of their strength, there was an opportunity to kill Ye Chen. Once they let him run away, not only should they be scared in the future, seeing Mister Jin fire towards Ye Chen, Yuan Zongbo was unable to tend to his exhausted body. He solidified a blood coloured True Qi eagle outside his body. The wing flapped and drew a red arc in the air.

两人的攻击几乎同时到达，粉碎叶尘的身体。

It seemed as though both of their attacks arrived at the same time, crushing Ye Chen’s body to pieces.

不对！

Wrong!

又是真气残影，而且是三道真气残影叠加在一起，栩栩如生，可恶，又被这小子骗了。

It was the incomplete True Qi shadow again! Moreover, with three of them stacked atop one another, it looked extremely lifelike. Dammit! They were tricked by this boy again.

金先生和原宗博环头四顾，想要找出叶尘的真身所在。

Mr Jin and Yuan Zongbo looked around, wanting to find where Ye Chen’s real body was at.

一座数十米高的小山后面。

Behind a small mountain that was tens of meters tall.

叶尘笔直的站立在那里。

Ye Chen stood there in a perfectly staright manner.

“打伤他们已经是最大的成果，贪得无厌只会得不偿失。”他非常明白，能够制造出三败俱伤的局面并不是自己足够强，而是因为自己对战斗控制的十分慎密，其中分身化影轻功是重中之重。

“Injuring them is already the biggest achievement. Greediness would only lead to the gains not making up for the losses.” He was very clear that having an outcome where all three of them were injured was not because he wasn’t strong enough, rather it was because he was very prudent and meticulous very toward controlling the battle. His Shadow Clone Transformation Lightweight Art was the most important amongst his control over the battle.

喝！

He!

吐气发声，叶尘一拳轰在小山之上。

Exhaling, Ye Chen’s fist exploded on top of the small mountain.

轰隆一声，整座小山四分五裂，化为数百上千块巨大石头抛飞出去，笼罩向小山前方的原宗博和金先生。

The entire hill exploded with a bang. The whole small mountain broke into pieces, turning into more than several hundreds of thousands of giant stones and flew out, covering the small hill in front of Yuan Zongbo and Mister Jin.

做完这一切，叶尘留下一道真气残影，真身闪掠向远方。

After finishing all this, Ye Chen left one last incomplete True Qi shadow before his true body dashed towards the distance.

漫天巨石被击碎，原宗博和金先生一眼看到了叶尘的真气残影，刚要有所动作，两人突兀的停住脚步。

Giant stone was crushed everywhere. Yuan Zongbo and Mister Jin saw Ye Chen’s incomplete True Qi shadow at a glance and were just about to act when they suddenly stopped in their tracks.

“让他逃了！”

“I let him escape!”

一指点碎真气残影，金先生的脸色十分难看。

After breaking the incomplete True Qi shadow, Mr Jin had an extremely horrible expression on his face.

原宗博自我安慰道：“武者达到抱元境层次，修为提升不是一天两天的事情，没必要惧怕他，毕竟你我现在的实力还在他之上，要不是他狡猾多端，早就被我们干掉。”

Yuan Zongbo consoled himself by saying: “For a martial artist to reach the Clasping Yuan Realm level, raising the cultivation level is not a matter of one or two days. There is no need to fear him, after all our present strength is above his. If it weren't for him being sly in many ways, he would have already been killed by us.”

“说的有道理，下次再见面，绝对不给他任何可趁之机。”

“That’s reasonable. The next time we meet, I will definitely not give him any possible chance to escape.”

两人相识一眼，原宗博忽然退后十数步，他的伤势比金先生严重许多，单打独斗不是他的对手。

The two looked each other in the eye.Yuan Zongbo suddenly backed tens of steps away. His injuries were even more serious than Mr Jin’s. He wasn’t an opponent for Mr Jin when fighting alone.

金先生心中略带惋惜，能干掉原宗博倒是收获一件。

Mister Jin held regret in his heart. Killing Yuan Zongbo would actually be a harvest to him.

……

玄重山脉数千里外有一座普普通通的山峰，高千余米，占地方圆七八里，四周荒芜一片，罕见人烟。

There were ordinary mountain peaks thousands of Li outside Mysterious Heavy Mountain Range with heights of more than thousands of meters, occupying land area of 78 Li. All around was a desolated land with rare habitation.

山峰半山腰有有一处隐蔽的山洞，外面被巨石封住一半，杂草丛生。

There was a covert cave on the mountain peak halfway up the mountainside. Outside was sealed up half by the giant stone and was overgrown with weeds.

“金先生的指力霸道异常，连金刚玉体都险些被洞穿，没有半个月的调养，难以恢复到巅峰状态，也罢，先在这座山洞里调养一段时间，顺便看看能否把太玄功修炼到第十重，第十重的太玄真气应该还要在普通地级中阶功法修炼出来的真气之上，战斗力必然能更上一层楼。”

“Mister Jin’s finger strength is exceptionally overbearing. It nearly pierced the Diamond Jade Body. I haven’t even had half a month of recuperation. It is difficult for me to restore to the peak condition. It’s fine. I’ll recuperate in this cave for a period of time first and conveniently have a look while whether I can cultivate to the 10th-layer of the Great Mysterious Technique. The 10th-layer Great Mysterious True Qi should also probably be above True Qi that in ordinary Earth Level intermediate rank cultivation technique practices. It can inevitably bring up the battle efficiency by a level.”

盘坐在干燥的地面，叶尘脑海中有许多念头闪过，淬玉强身诀是地级低阶锻体功法，叶尘早已练成了第五诀金刚玉体之身，有着这具强横的身体，叶尘才敢和对方拼成两败俱伤，毕竟那门指法虽然厉害，但也没有多大可能洞穿太玄护体真气后，还能洞穿他的金刚玉体，他相信，金先生的伤势要比他严重多了，炼心一剑可不是那么好承受的。

Sitting cross-legged on the dry ground, many thoughts flashed through Ye Chen’s mind. The Pure Jade Body Boosting Spell was Earth Level low rank Body Forging cultivation technique. Ye Chen had already practiced the body of fifth Secret Art Diamond Jade Body and with this tyrannical body did Ye Chen dare to mutually wound the opposite party. After all that Finger Arts was fierce, but after did not have many greatly possibly pierced through the protects body True Qi unreliably, but can also pierce his Diamond Jade Body, he believed that Mister Jin’s injury was more serious than his, Heart Refining One Sword exactly was so good to withstand.

至于太玄功是从天梦古地得到的，属于地级中阶功法中的顶尖货色，尤其是第十一重，能够提炼出一口星极境武者才能拥有的真元，必然会成为叶尘新的杀手锏，那时想要杀原宗博和金先生，也就三两招的事情，以现在第九重巅峰境界，真气质量已经和达到抱元境后期的金先生相等。

Obtains from Heavenly Dream Ancient Land as for Great Mystery Art, belongs to the peak goods in Earth Level intermediate rank cultivation technique, particularly 11th-layer, can refine True Yuan that Astral Reaching Realm martial artist can have, definitely will become Ye Chen new trump card, at that time wanted to kill Yuan Zongbo and Mister Jin, on 32 moves of matters, by the present 9th-layer peak boundary, the True Qi quality already and achieves Clasping Yuan Realm late-stage Mister Jin to be equal.

“先不管那么多，调养为主。”

“I won’t bother about these too much. Nursing myself is the main priority now.”

斩去杂念，叶尘服下一枚疗伤丹药，闭目打坐。

Removing distracting thoughts from his mind, Ye Chen took a healing medicine pill and closed his eyes, meditating.

山中无日月。

There was no sun nor was there moon in the mountain.

十数天的时间眨眼即过。

Ten or so days passed in the blink of an eye.

这日，叶尘再次睁开双眼，锐利的精光一闪而逝，宛如剑客的剑光剑气，锋芒逼人。

On this day, Ye Chen opened his eyes once more. A sharp radiant light flashed passed in his eyes, just like a fencer’s sword light and sword Qi that had a sharp, threatening edge to it.

“我猜得不错，只有战斗才能更快的进步。”

“I guess well, only then fights to be able a quicker progress.”

接近半个月的调养中，叶尘的修为彻底巩固，距离抱元境中期仅一步之遥，除此之外，一直没什么动静的太玄真气终于蠢蠢欲动，有突破到第十重的趋势，可谓是进步飞快。

Approaches in half a month recuperation, Ye Chen cultivation level is thorough, is away from the Clasping Yuan Realm middle-stage only one pace, in addition, did not have any sound Ultra Mysterious True Qi to be ready to make trouble finally, has breakthrough to the 10th-layer trend, it may be said that is the progress fast.

“打铁趁热，索性在这里突破到第十重再走。”

“Strikes while the iron is hot, again walks breakthrough to 10th-layer simply here.”

眼中闪过坚决之色，叶尘站起身从半封闭的山洞走出，透了一会气后，又重新回到山洞，并把洞口彻底封死，从外面看，只会认为这里什么都没有，只有一堆乱石和诸多杂草，谁也不会注意到乱石后方有山洞，山洞里有人在闭关修炼。

In the eye flashes through the firm color, Ye Chen stands up from half close cave goes out, after passing one could be mad, returns the cave, and blocks cave entrance thoroughly, looking from outside, only thinks here anything does not have, only then pile of quarry stone and many weeds, no one will note behind the quarry stone to have the cave, in the cave some people are closing up the practice.

精气神三丹吞下，因为不是修炼真气，叶尘也就不需要动用下品灵石，炼化其中的灵石元气了。

Swallowing the three pills, because does not practice True Qi, Ye Chen does not need to use low-grade Spirit Stone, built up Spirit Stone Yuan Qi.

太玄真气循着太玄功独有的经脉路线，缓慢而有力的运转，每循环一圈，叶尘都感觉炼化了一丝真气杂质，距离第十重更近一分。

Ultra Mysterious True Qi following meridians route that Great Mystery Art is in sole possession , the slow and powerful revolution, circulates every time, Ye Chen felt that built up to melt True Qi impurity, was away from a 10th-layer nearly point.

第三十六个大周天循环。

The thirty sixth circulation of the circle of Qi.

第七十二个大周天循环。

The seventy second circulation of the circle of Qi.

……

第三百六十个大周天。

The three hundred and sixtieth circle of Qi.

……

直到经脉隐隐作痛，叶尘方才停止运转真气，盘坐在那里闭目养神，不动分毫。

Until the meridians pain, Ye Chen just now stops revolution True Qi, sits cross-legged maintains mental tranquility there eyes closed, motionless iota.

人体有自我修复功能，武者的修复功能更要远超普通人，经脉随着修为的提升，坚韧程度会逐渐增加，据说到了星极境层次，可以连续运转一个月的真元，不会损伤经脉，而到了灵海境，运转真气的时间十倍增加，足以运行一年，至于生死境层次什么情况，常人无法理解，叶尘也不明白生死境王者的修炼是否一般无二。

The human body has the self- repair function, the martial artist repair function wants the far ultra average person, the meridians along with the promotion of cultivation level, the tenacious degree will increase gradually, it is said arrived at the Astral Reaching Realm level, can continuous working one month of True Yuan, not damage the meridians, but to Sea of Souls Realm, revolution True Qi time ten times increased, operates sufficiently for one year, as for the Life and Death Realm level anything situation, the average man is unable to understand that Ye Chen does not understand whether the practice of Life and Death boundary King is without change.

待经脉恢复的差不多，叶尘继续运转太玄真气。

Similar when the meridians restore, Ye Chen continues revolution Ultra Mysterious True Qi.

精气神三丹一枚枚的消耗，日子也一天天的过去。

The three energies three pill consumptions, day also day-by-day past.

外面的杂草渐渐枯萎，一层冰霜覆盖在上面，原来黑龙帝国的冬天到了，万物萧瑟。

Outside weed withers gradually, ice frost covers above, originally the Black Dragon Empire winter arrived, all living things dreary.

一名樵夫在山路上走着，肩上扛着一头大野猪。

A woodcutter is walking on the mountain road, on the shoulder carries a big wild boar.

大野猪是二级妖兽，叫做赤目战猪，练气境七八层武者都不是他对手，这个樵夫能够猎杀赤目战猪，修为只怕在练气境第八层以上。

The big wild boar is rank 2 Monster Beast, is called the scarlet item of war pig, Qi Practice Realm 78 martial artist are not his match, this woodcutter can hunt and kill the scarlet item of war pig, cultivation level only fears in Qi Practice Realm 8th-floor above.

“练气境五层以下为普通人，我也算村里的一号高手了。”樵夫暗自得意一番，找了一处乱石堆坐了下来。

“Qi Practice Realm below five are average people, I also calculated No. the 1 master in village.” The woodcutters are secretly favorite, looked for stones pile to sit.

“恩！这里的天地元气古怪，怎么好像往洞里钻。”

“Yeah! The Worldly Yuan Qi here is weird. No matter how I look at it, it seems like its heading towards the cave.”

作为练气境武者，樵夫对天地元气不陌生，心中想到一个可能性，乱石堆里面有玄虚，说不定生长了一株灵草。

As Qi Practice Realm martial artist, the woodcutter is not strange to World's Yuan Qi, in the heart thinks that a possibility, stones pile inside has the mystery, perhaps grew Spirit Grass.

自动吸收天地元气的灵草价值极高，卖个数千两数万两黄金不在话下，若是能增长修为的就更惊人了。

Absorbs the World's Yuan Qi Spirit Grass value to be extremely high automatically, sells several thousand two several thousand two gold to be a cinch, if can grow cultivation level was more astonishing.

一时间，樵夫心痒难耐，他也想成为凝真境武者，去外面闯荡，但是他的年纪太大，十年之内都没有这个可能性，若是有增长修为的灵草，一切都不是问题。

At the time, the woodcutter heart is hard to take itchy, he also wants to become Condensing Reality Realm martial artist, goes to outside wanderer, however his too old, within ten years does not have this possibility, if there are to grow cultivation level Spirit Grass, all are not the issues.

想到做到，樵夫放下赤目战猪，开始搬石头。

Thinks to achieve, the woodcutter puts down the scarlet item of war pig, starts to lift the stone.

搬到一半时，樵夫倒退数步，石头缝里，居然有刺目的蓝光透了出来，一丝丝，一道道，蓝光弥漫，那股刺人的气机使得樵夫遍体生寒，汗毛倒竖，比他曾远远望到的四级妖兽还要恐怖数倍。

When moves to 50%, the woodcutter backing up several steps, in the stone seam, had the dazzling blue light to pass unexpectedly, a faint trace, the blue light filled the air, that punctured inner Qi of person to enable the woodcutter all over the body to live coldly, the fine hair was but actually vertical, wants the terrifying several fold compared with rank 4 Monster Beast that he once from afar looked.

嗡！

Weng!

空气震荡，有淡淡的涟漪扩散开来，地面的冰霜随之龟裂，变成一粒粒冰渣，冰渣破碎，化为白雾，白雾被吹散，朝着四方席卷，而后，只剩下一半的乱石开始晃动，发出哗啦啦的声音。

The air shakes, has light ripples to proliferate, ice frost of ground along with it chap, turns into grains of ice dregs, ices the dregs to be stave, changes into the white fog, the white fog is blown off, sweeps across toward the four directions, then, only the remaining 50% quarry stone start to rock, make crash-bang the sound.

看到这一幕，无形的压抑笼罩向樵夫的心头。

Sees this, invisible depressing covers to the heart of woodcutter
