At Immortal Martial.

“Hey, Zi Lin, are you still on guard?” His partners were slightly surprised. Looking at The Board of Unique skills, he smiled and said, “There’s nothing going on here, seems like there hasn’t been any new unique martial techniques created yet.”

“6 months and 9 days.” Chen Zi Lin gave an exact answer. He was extremely familiar with all the names on the board of unique skills.

“That is a bit long.” His partner could not help but feel awkward. “Don’t tell me there is a problem with the Unique skill slate?”

“Don’t talk nonsense!” Chen Zi Lin said. “If the Unique Skill Slate has a problem, our Immortal Martial would definitely be in an uproar, who would wait for you to make noise here?”

“That is true.” His partner said, and casually waved his hand. “I’m off, it’s not my shift tonight. Oh my, I don’t know why you’re so interested in the board of unique skills, anyways I’ve seen it for days, and I almost want to puke.”

“Go then. Go.” Chen Zi Lin waved his hand. “I’ll stay here for another night.”

Chen Zi Lin continued to study the slate.

He faced the gigantic Thirty metre slate, it was the Cassiopeia Constellation Saint Treasure, the Unique Slate. On this slate, it could capture any sort of undulations from all types of martial techniques from the entire Heaven’s Road, every ripple from any type of martial technique, would definitely be caught by it.

The slate would have a few martial technique names appear, and right at the start, no one knew what the meaning of it was. But slowly people began to realize, all the martial techniques that appeared on the unique slate, would be extremely strong and far exceeded ordinary martial techniques. Ordinary martial techniques’ rankings were difficult to accurately define their powers.

Instantly, people treated this type of martial techniques with a special name – unique martial techniques.

Unique martial techniques, all of them were strange arts, but all of them were unique and unmatched.

The current Board of Unique skills, had a total of 19,986 types of martial techniques. Chen Zi Lin was extremely familiar with every single martial technique on it.

19,986 types of unique martial techniques, had 16,743 martial technique names that were dimmed. These were unique martial techniques that had appeared in history, but had disappeared currently. When a grey coloured unique martial technique name becomes golden, it would mean that the unique martial technique has been found and learned by someone.

The Unique Slate had a very long history – even before the Cassiopeia constellation was found, it already existed, which meant that it existed far longer than human’s history. How the Unique Slate was formed, had always been a mystery.

When the First generation of the Cassiopeia Constellation people found the unmovable slate, and when they realized it was the saint treasure of Cassiopeia Constellation, they were extremely dispirited. To them, this big slate which cannot even be used for battle, had no value at all.

All the way till Cassiopeia and Cepheus Constellations formed their merger, and created Immortal Martial, this slate became Immortal Martial’s true foundation. The Slate, along with Cepheus Constellation’s Reflective Martial Copper Mirror were the strength of Immortal Martial.

The current number of golden unique martial techniques was 3237. And the number of them that were confirmed by Immortal Martial was 1029.

Heaven’s Road was boundless, with countless stars. To be able to find 1029 unique martial techniques, Immortal Martial spent countless amounts of manpower and wealth. With the following rise of Immortal Martial’s influence, the Board of Unique skills quickly received all the powerful parties’ close attention.

Unique martial techniques were extremely powerful, making them the absolute skills that all powerful parties wanted to learn. Any unique martial technique was priceless.

It had already been 6 months since a new unique martial technique had appeared, and this situation was considered extremely normal. Normally, every year they would only see roughly three to five unique martial techniques.

Chen Zi Lin shook his head, don’t tell me due to the hot weather recently, everyone was to lazy to create their own martial technique?

He retrieved an ice bucket, took out a few watermelons, and without hesitation, he ate it. The refreshing cool feeling entered his body, the indescribable comfort made him eat even more.

Suddenly, a smear of golden light entered his vision.

Chen Zi Lin’s body trembled, ignoring the red juice flowing all over his face, he quickly looked up.

On the Unique Slate, appeared a line of golden words.

No: 19981: Fire Scythe Ghost Claw, 1 Star. Killing Technique: Demon King Blazing Firefly.

*****************************************************************

Run, run with all your might.

The wind rustled as he ran on uneven terrains on a dark night like this. The fierce battle at the foot of the mountain occasionally lit up with a spectacular radiance, lighting up the road in front of him. He dared not turn back, he was afraid of seeing blood. He did not want to see what he did not want to see.

No matter what… I must not die!

Xie Qing bit onto his lips and clenched his fist tightly.

The screams coming from the top of the mountain were getting stronger and clearer. A faint, indiscernible thought came through to ease his anxious heart. Unknowingly, he started to slow down.

He was already at the peak of the mountain. The peak of the mountain was a 2 metre wide and long flat ground.

He looked around. There was nothing around him.

How…

How was it possible that there was nothing here?

Periodically, there were beams of light shooting out from the foot of the hill. Every now and then, there would be explosions, but when he saw it from the top of the hill, it looked extra peaceful.

Xie Qing felt depressed. Unless… unless it was just his hallucination?

“Come out!” Xie Qing screamed his lungs out suddenly. His bloodshot eyes looked just like a beast in its most desperate times. The glowing and dimming radiance shone on his face and caused him to be angrier. How was the battle at the foot of the mountains…

Bastard! Damn it!

“Come out! Why won’t you come out! WHY?!”

“Are you playing with me?”

His angry shouts echoed far away. Sometimes, there were explosions happening at the foot of the mountain becoming the footnote of the wind.

“Come out!”

“Come out!”

“Please, come out! Quickly come out!”

His shouts had now turned into pleas, carried with a tinge of a choked up voice. His knees went weak as he knelt on the floor.

Were you kidding me?

I’ve guarded you, I’ve guarded you in the village. They were all helping you. Why would you not come out?

Why?

If you still remain hidden, everyone would die…

Xie Qing could no longer take it, his tears streamed down his face.

Damn it! I am too weak!

Bang! He punched his tightly clenched fist onto the floor.

Ka!

The ground beneath Xie Qing’s foot shook as though the mountains were cracking.

Ka ka ka!

The cracks were like a dragon, spreading beneath Xie Qing’s leg and through the entire radius of the mountain like a bolt of lightning. The entire mountain was shaking tremendously.

Countless cracks formed like over ten ferocious black dragons as they crashed and sent dust flying. With a thunderous roar, it exploded from the tip of the mountain down to the foot of the mountain.

Everyone who was in the midst of the battle were all frightened by the sudden explosion and stopped what they were doing.

Xie Qing was completely dumbfounded. He looked at the floor which was cracking and extending beneath his feet. The mountain was shaking and he was on the verge of losing his balance.

In Xie Qing’s mind, there was a sigh.

This sigh was faint like the mist in the darkness.

Xie Qing trembled, he quickly reacted. It, it had awaken!

Ha la hua la.

Rocks on Stone Sword Peak fell to the bottom like the crumbs of a biscuit.

The rocks continued to fall like a shell being cracked open. There was an indescribable, dangerous Qi. Like the grey clouds gathering, it was intimidating. Everyone was looking solemn. They were witnessing something incredible.

The stones of the mountain peeled off.

From the naked eye, the mountain looked smaller and smaller.

“Big boss!” Arctic Fox called out. He felt a surge of uneasiness.

King Qilin looked at the peeling mountain in a daze. His eyes were burning with passion. He felt it! He really felt it! Such a terrifying Qi! Even his five coloured Qilins were all suppressed.

So strong…

Saint treasure! Only Saint treasures would possess such terrifying Qi!

Suddenly, he gestured towards Arctic Fox.

Arctic Fox’s calls had already caught the attention of the others. Looking at big boss’s gesture, all the members of Five Hitmen Squad jumped.

There was only one meaning to big boss’s gesture, be prepared to make a move!

The Five Hitmen Squad had gone through hundreds of battles. Once King Qilin had made a decision, they would instantly show their merciless side. Even if Artic Fox was uneasy, he had to cast that to the back of his mind and calm himself down.

Half a mountain floated in mid air as the pile of rocks forming at the foot of the mountain continue to pile up. At the top of the mountain, Xie Qing was completely lost.

“The sword is in between the mountain!” Suddenly, Arctic Fox yelled.

Swoosh, the five of them made a move at the same time like five arrows shooting towards the mountain.

Suddenly, a ray of grey light burst out from within the mountains.

“Shit!”

Everyone’s faces turned green.

The grey radiance came so quick that no one had the time to react. In the blink of an eye, everyone was being locked down by the grey radiance.

Except for Tang Tian!

Before the grey radiance dispersed, he sensed danger and turned to escape without hesitation. Just as he ran for two steps, the grey radiance had caught up and stayed where he was.

When Tang Tian ran, he heard a faint sigh.

But right now, Tang Tian found himself being locked down by a gust of eerie Qi, he could not even move a finger. His body was still in a posture of running.

Silence, dead silence.

The grey radiance floated in the air like grey mist. Everyone froze like a statue as though they were under a spell.

A light sigh rang out.

The boundless grey mist sunk down gradually. Below Tang Tian’s knees, the grey mist covered the entire field forming into a grey sea, and it felt extremely cooling.

Everyone’s pupils constricted.

A tall platform suddenly formed from the grey mist, and a figure stood straight on it. On the 10m tall platform was a grey banner, and on it wrote a big black word, ‘隱’ (‘Crypto’).

Don’t tell me…. Don’t tell me…

A stifling thought suddenly creeped and surfaced in everyone’s minds.

The grey mist below the platform gradually dissipated, and the person on the tall platform, finally appeared.

Over a hundred thousand swords were stabbed into the tall platform densely packed, the platform was like a hedgehog, especially the sides. The swords were more densely packed at the sides, looking like grass, all of the swords were covered with holes and jagged edges, from the looks of it, all of them were broken swords.

The space which allowed the person to stand, was only the size of a palm.

The 10m tall platform was filled with a hundred thousand broken swords!

Only the lone figure, stood straight up with his hands by his side, overlooking everyone disdainfully!
