Chapter 226: Chapter 226

Zhao Letian's arrow was utterly unexpected. Niu Li had just retracted his hand and couldn't react in time, a bloody hole pierced through his forehead, killing him instantly.

After taking out Niu Li, Zhao Letian finally breathed a sigh of relief, walked over, searched Niu Li's body, and found an aged beast skin scroll and took the opponent's Jade Token.

"Yellow-level Early Stage Martial Technique, Daluo Palm Seal."

Zhao Letian looked at the text on the scroll and smiled with satisfaction.

This was a blessing in disguise for him, not only did he not die, but he also acquired a Martial Technique and, with the One-Star Lower Grade Spiritual Artifact level bow and arrow in hand, he was well-equipped to protect himself.

However, having been bombarded by multiple palm strikes from Niu Li, he was severely injured and needed to quickly find a hidden spot to recuperate.

"Huh? What's this? It's actually Healing Pills."

As he was walking, Zhao Letian suddenly spotted a small white porcelain bottle, picked it up, opened it, and found five red pills inside. His face immediately lit up with surprise, as the pills in this bottle could easily heal his injuries.

Zhao Letian didn't hesitate, immediately took out a red pill and swallowed it, then sat cross-legged for a moment to fully absorb the medicinal power. His injuries were substantially healed.

To be safe, Zhao Letian took another pill and completely cured his injuries.

In the Slaughter Illusion Realm, he could face danger to his life at any moment and must always remain in peak condition.

"Daluo Palm Seal, a martial technique from the Buddhist sect, is robust and powerful, and when mastered, it can rival a Middle Stage Yellow-level Martial Technique."

After his injuries healed, Zhao Letian immediately found a relatively secluded spot, opened the beast skin scroll, and began to study its contents.

"Daluo Palm Seal, go." First publishеd оn М|V|L!ЕМРYR.

With Zhao Letian's talent, mastering a mere Early Stage Yellow-level Martial Technique was no difficult task. He quickly read through the content on the scroll, roughly understood the method of cultivation, then flipped his hand and struck with a gold-colored Swastika Palm Seal, directly blasting towards a nearby boulder.

A loud rumbling sound emerged, and a swastika-shaped indentation appeared on the boulder with cracks radiating from the swastika, spreading across the entire rock.

The power of just this first palm strike was much stronger than the ones cast by Niu Li.

"Again, Daluo Palm Seal."

Zhao Letian raised his True Essence Power again, his hand shimmering with golden light, and launched another gold-colored Swastika Palm Seal towards the boulder.

With this strike, the boulder directly shattered into pieces, scattering debris into the air.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!..."

However, Zhao Letian did not stop there; he continued to launch a series of gold-colored Swastika Palm Seals, shattering chunks of boulders around him.

He had not yet completely mastered this Martial Technique and needed to practice for some more time.

Half an hour later, Zhao Letian left Chaotic Stone Ridge and came to a clearing in the woods, not far in front of him stood a man dressed in green beast skin.

"Surrender the Jade Token, and I'll spare your life."

Zhao Letian readied his bow and arrow, aiming at the man in beast skin, and spoke indifferently.

He wasn't a bloodthirsty person; his goal was only to seize the Jade Token and he wouldn't kill without necessity. Of course, if the other party didn't cooperate, then he wouldn't be to blame.

"Alright, here you go."

The beast-skinned man did not hesitate and directly tossed the jade token to Zhao Letian.

Those who could enter the Gray Wolf Secret Realm were no ordinary people; they clearly understood that, in critical moments, what choices to make. Compared to their own lives, everything else was insignificant.

After obtaining the jade token, Zhao Letian kept his promise and allowed the man to leave.

"Who would have thought that the teleportation array would be so far away?"

Zhao Letian put away the other party's jade pendant and continued walking forward.

He had basically mastered the Daluo Palm Seal an hour ago and began to search for the location of the teleportation array according to the directions indicated by the arrow on the jade token.

In this Slaughter Illusion Realm, danger was unpredictable. Although he already had certain capabilities to protect himself, he could not be careless. Just in case, he still needed to find the teleportation array to leave this place as soon as possible; that way, should he encounter any irresistible danger, he could quickly escape.

However, up until now, he still hadn't seen any trace of the teleportation array.

As he walked, Zhao Letian suddenly noticed a black stele about one zhang tall in the dense forest ahead. It was engraved with ancient patterns and surrounded by dense vines, concealing it within the forest. If one did not observe closely, it would be very difficult to spot.

"Yellow-level Early Stage Martial Technique, requires one jade token, a One-Star Lower Grade Spiritual Artifact also requires one jade token; Yellow-level Middle Stage Martial Technique, needs three jade tokens..."

As Zhao Letian approached the black stele and read the text, he furrowed his brow.

He had three jade tokens in total. If he were to exchange for the Yellow-level Middle Stage Martial Technique, he could only get one; however, if he exchanged for the Yellow-level Early Stage Martial Technique, he could get three. He had to consider carefully how to choose.

"Right now, I need to enhance my ability to protect myself and also improve the efficiency of capturing tokens. Relying on only one Yellow-level Middle Stage Martial Technique is definitely not enough; I need more methods."

Zhao Letian thought to himself and then followed the instructions on the black stele, tapping the line that read Yellow-level Early Stage Martial Technique.

Instantly, a flash of light appeared, and the names of various Yellow-level Early Stage Martial Techniques were displayed on the black stele.

"Body Technique 'Chasing Wind Steps', Arrow Technique 'Multiple Shots', these two it is."

Zhao Letian quickly decided on the martial techniques he needed and, following the operation instructions, took out two jade tokens and made them hover in front of the black stele.

The next moment, a ray of light flew out from each of the two jade tokens, both entering the black stele, after which the two jade tokens became dim and dull.

At the same time, two beast skin scrolls suddenly flew out from the black stele.

"It seems that each jade token can only be used once."

Zhao Letian thought to himself and collected the two beast skin scrolls.

Then, he used the last jade token to exchange for a one-star lower grade Spiritual Weapon Flying Sword.

"First, find a place to practice the martial techniques."

Zhao Letian thought to himself and immediately found a concealed location to practice the Body Technique and Arrow Technique.

Half an hour later, Zhao Letian had already mastered the two exchanged martial techniques and, riding the spiritual weapon flying sword, turned into a flash of sword light, following the direction indicated by the arrow on the jade token, and sped off into the distance.

"To actually dare to use Qi Manipulation Flight in the air? Courting death."

Not long after he began flying, on top of a large ancient tree below, a bewitchingly beautiful woman dressed in black tights spotted Zhao Letian in the air. A cold light flashed in her beautiful eyes as she directly swung the curved blade in her hands, slashing a crescent-moon shaped blade light towards Zhao Letian in the air.
