Red Heart Patrols the Sky

79: Chapter 75 Uprooting Mountains!_1 79: Chapter 75 Uprooting Mountains!_1 The longsword moved like lightning, almost leaving only a trail of cold light.

In the surging tide of beasts, Jiang Wang had no time to use Dao Techniques, relying solely on his swordsmanship to maneuver and turn amidst the horde of Fierce Beasts.

The golden light arrow inscribed on the sword had already shot into the eye of a lion-shaped Fierce Beast.

It would take a long time to recover before the next strike.

If not for the formidable power of the Four Spirits Body Refinement Art, Jiang Wang could hardly have survived.

In fact, in this wave of the Fierce Beasts’ onslaught, more than a hundred cultivators had already died in battle!

Not even their corpses could be left behind.

Jiang Wang clung to a gigantic bull-shaped Fierce Beast, circling it erratically to the left and right, making it rage like thunder while keeping other Fierce Beasts from attacking him.

But he was acutely aware that it was far from safe at the moment.

A single misstep while dancing on the edge of a knife could lead to obliteration.

He still didn’t even know where the Fierce Beast that had launched the impact pillar of light was or what it looked like.

And he had been separated from Zhao Rucheng.

If he was already struggling so much, how was Zhao Rucheng holding up?

Jiang Wang didn’t dare to imagine.

Having unleashed all his strength, he was constantly fighting and desperately searching for Zhao Rucheng’s figure, while also keeping an eye on the direction of the impact pillar of light.

Riding the charge of the bull-shaped Fierce Beast, Jiang Wang first caught sight of the Fierce Beast with innate magical abilities.

Even amidst such a rabid surge of beasts, they instinctually made way for it, clearing a space.

It was a black cat-shaped Fierce Beast, surprisingly small in size.

But standing calmly amidst the frenzied tide, it was like a rock in a swift current.

Only its blood-red eyes revealed its ferocious nature.

At a moment it seemed to yawn lazily, but its mouth kept widening more and more, swiftly becoming as huge as a wooden basin.

At the center of its gaping maw, a crimson ball of light slowly took shape.

Jiang Wang followed its line of sight and immediately felt a surge of rage, as Zhao Rucheng was just there being torn at by seven or eight Fierce Beasts, surrounded by danger.

Jiang Wang leapt onto the bull-shaped Fierce Beast’s back, with a casual sword strike enraging it even further, then with successive leaps of his toes, he shot forth!

He moved from beast to beast overhead!

Dodging countless bites and assaults along the way, he suddenly soared into the air.

The Purple Qi Eastward sword technique, fourth killing move, erupted with sword light.

Wrapped in dazzling sword light, Jiang Wang burst through the horde of Fierce Beasts, rushing at extreme speed to Zhao Rucheng’s side, grabbing his shoulder and tossing him backward!

As Zhao Rucheng was flung away, Jiang Wang spun thrice in midair.

And the black cat-shaped Fierce Beast’s red pillar of light roared past, narrowly missing him.

It was a climax of tension and ingenuity.

But he had overlooked the bull-shaped Fierce Beast he had been “playing” with.

It was a deer-ox, a mix of a deer and an ox, thick-skinned and immensely strong.

After being used as a shield for so long, it overlooked all else and charged single-mindedly at Jiang Wang.

As the red pillar blasted a new path, Jiang Wang landed on a giant spider beast, slashing its compound eyes with his sword.

Just then, the deer-ox leapt into the air and charged right at Jiang Wang!

In a rushed defense, Jiang Wang could only lift his sword in front of himself; he was sent flying high, and behind him, there was a cliff!

How high was Jade Balance Peak?

Looking down from halfway up the mountainside, at least, it was obscured by mist.

“Third brother!”
Zhao Rucheng rushed forward almost frantically, but he was greeted by a swarm of wildly attacking Fierce Beasts.

…

The battlefield they were on was at the north side of the cliff edge.

Ye Qingyu fought her way through the battle as she searched for Jiang Wang.

Before the second, even more terrifying burst of the Fierce Beasts’ tide, proud as she was, what she thought of was that she must save Jiang Wang once again no matter what.

She won’t speak of how many life-saving treasures she had used up on the way; in the face of the increasingly violent tide of beasts, she contemplated in her heart that with only two treasures left, if she couldn’t find anyone ahead, she would have to leave this place.

Then she saw it…

the ground littered with remains and fragments of corpses.

Among all the battlefields she had seen along the way, this was where the bodies of Fierce Beasts had been cut into the smallest pieces.

The entire mountain was uneven, with three particularly obvious troughs gouged out by some force.

In one of those troughs sat a man.

Seeing just a profile of his face was enough to discern his handsome features.

Surrounded by flowing blood and fragmented corpses, the man simply sat on the ground, head slightly bowed, his long hair falling loose.

“…Hello?” Ye Qingyu tentatively asked.

The man slowly raised his head and glanced at her.

What cold and fierce eyes they were!

But he immediately swayed and fell into the pool of blood.

…
At this moment, looking at the entire battle situation at Jade Balance Peak.

The head of the Dao Institute of San Mountain City had died in battle, and the majority of the more than five hundred cultivators who had been organized were dead.

The Fierce Beasts had broken through all the defensive lines, and some had even charged into the logistical base at the foot of the mountain, slaughtering wildly.

It seemed that they were defeated.

Perhaps, defeat had been destined the moment the Yin and Yang dual-headed eagles appeared.

In a moment of despair, Dou Yuemei, the City Lord of San Mountain City, stepped forward once again.

But no one believed she could create a miracle.

Back then, Sun Heng was of the Inner Mansion Realm, single-handedly turning the tide against the beast tide, killing the leader of the Fierce Beasts, which reversed the situation.

But he ended up dead, his Dao extinguished.

Everyone knew that Dou Yuemei was only at the peak of the Soaring Dragon Realm, Grade-6.

It was only because of the sacrifice of Sun Heng and the collective petition of the cultivators of San Mountain City that she was made the successor.

Otherwise, although the position of City Lord could be inherited by family, one must possess at least the cultivation of the Inner Mansion Realm, Grade-5, to qualify.

The former City Lord of Fenglin City had no successors, which was why, weakened by age, he had stepped down and moved to Xin’an City to retire in honor.

Yet Dou Yuemei stood before the beast tide.

She was a woman, but she stood more proudly than all the men.

She was only at the peak of the Soaring Dragon Realm, yet she suddenly erupted with an overwhelmingly dominant aura.

It was as if something was exploding within her, her body rumbling with loud bursts.

Her momentum climbed higher and higher!

As everyone knows, the next step after soaring through the Dao veins like a dragon is to knock open the Inner Mansion.

What lies between soaring through the dragon state and the Inner Mansion?

It is the exploration of the body’s limits, the awakening dragon of the Dao veins venturing across the ocean of the trunk!

Generally, this process is extremely long and meticulous.

Only after the cultivator has gained insight into most of the sea of the trunk would they attempt to knock open the Inner Mansion.

And the human body has five Inner Mansions, with each mansion hiding secrets.

The greatest cultivation task of the five Inner Mansion Realm is to unlock the secrets of the five mansions.

With varying degrees of exploration, personal talent differences, and the diverse experiences of each cultivator…

the end results differ.

Many times, it determines the level of strength.

And among all the secrets within the human body, the most precious and hardest to find is undoubtedly…

Divine Skills!

To be precise, the Divine Power Seed, or rather, an incomplete version of the true Divine Skills.

But once one has the Divine Power Seed, they will eventually develop it completely and dominate the world.

And what is Dou Yuemei doing now?

She, without fully exploring the sea of the trunk, chose to smash open the Inner Mansion ahead of time.

And she broke through all five Mansions at once!

This was almost a complete abandonment of her future, a severing of her Dao path.

At every Mansion, she just briefly skimmed the surface, not considering a careful examination.

Yet, it was during the fifth Mansion that she happened to find the Divine Skills!

She was so confident, confident that she could knock open the Inner Mansion without full control of the sea of the trunk, and more confident that she would certainly obtain Divine Skills!

She did it!

“Sun Xiaoman!

Shock Mountain!” she shouted loudly.

The barefooted girl in the midst of the fight, upon hearing the command, said nothing, swung her twin ponytails, lifted her Shock Mountain hammers high, and resolutely slammed them onto the ground!

The mountain rock shattered; the ground cracked open a deep fissure around the Shock Mountain hammer as the epicenter.

And Dou Yuemei just squatted down and placed her pair of delicate, boneless hands on the ground.

The Divine Skills she had obtained by breaking through all five Mansions were named: Move Mountain!
