I Can Extract Abilities – Chapter 185

Chapter 185: Sword Momentum and Broken Demon Cliff

Inside the inn!

After a day and a night.

Li Feng’s condition had fully recovered. He now had great confidence in facing the upcoming pursuit.

“Why is the efficiency of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect Elder so slow?” He then had some doubts.

He had already waited for the other party for a day.

But they still hadn’t come.

Afterward, Li Feng stopped thinking about it and walked out of the room towards the first floor.

The second floor of the inn was for guests to rest.

And the first floor was for dining.

As soon as he came down, he found that there were already many people on the first floor.

Most of them were martial artists, with swords or blades placed on their tables.

These people had no cultivation talent and were not cultivators.

They had learned some martial arts from the common folk, had two or three times the strength of ordinary people, and liked to roam the martial world, living freely.

Li Feng glanced at them and then casually found a seat and sat down.

“What would you like, guest?” As soon as he sat down, a waiter immediately came up to him.

“Bring me a jin of beef, two white steamed buns, and a pot of your best tea.”

“Alright, coming right up.” The waiter smiled and then went to the back.

Not long after.

All the dishes were served. He ate slowly while listening to everything around him.

Of course, Li Feng wasn’t eavesdropping.

Although these martial artists were not as good as cultivators, each of them had a strong voice and spoke very loudly.

Even if he didn’t want to listen, their words would still reach his ears.

…

…

“Have you heard? Yesterday, the Shu Mountain Sword Sect was enraged. More than ten sword momentums soared into the sky, their power terrifying. I wonder who offended them?”

“I heard about it too. It’s said that a certain Shu Mountain Elder was killed, and they were angrily looking for someone to take revenge on. But then a great demon attacked their sect, and they had to cease their activities.”

“Which great demon? To dare attack the Shu Mountain Sword Sect.”

“Unclear of his origins, but I heard that this demon is an ancient powerhouse who has lived for thousands of years.”

“…”

“Interesting!”

Nearby, Li Feng picked up his teacup and took a sip.

Now he knew why no one from the Shu Mountain Sword Sect had come to trouble him. It turned out that someone had attacked their mountain gate.

They probably had their hands full right now.

What a good person!

Li Feng felt a bit of goodwill towards that demon.

If he could peacefully pass these seven days, he would have completed his mission.

After finishing his breakfast, he left a tael of silver and got up to leave.

“Since the Shu Mountain Sword Sect is too busy to trouble me now, I might as well find a place to hone my sword intent.” Li Feng thought as he strolled down the street.

The path of the Great Sword Immortal was not easy. It wasn’t like being a Professional Player, where you could enter dungeons and grind experience.

The path of the Sword Immortal tested one’s talent and comprehension more.

If one wanted to go far on this path, they needed to comprehend each step. Even extracting game skills couldn’t help him.

Thinking of this, he suddenly paused, “No, sword intent can be extracted, maybe it can also help me extract sword momentum.”

To break through to Grand Sword Cultivator.

One must comprehend sword momentum.

Sword intent and sword momentum were different. Sword intent was the true meaning of the sword. A swordsman who comprehended sword intent could add various characteristics to their attacks.

For example, his Immortal Sword Intent’s characteristic was resilience and longevity. Once it inflicted damage on an enemy, even those at the same level, or even a level higher, would find it difficult to dispel the Immortal Sword Intent.

Above sword intent was sword momentum. Reaching the realm of sword momentum allowed one to mobilize the momentum of heaven and earth, like an emperor, carrying the mandate of heaven, using the momentum to crush opponents.

At this thought, he felt a little anticipation.

“But this is all just my speculation. I’ll have to wait until the next skill extraction to know for sure. For now, I should focus on honing my sword intent and hunting some dimensional creatures to increase my attribute points.”

Then, Li Feng shook his head and walked directly out of the city.

After leaving the city, he chose a direction and flew straight ahead.

…

…

In an open plain.

◈◈◈

There were three very abrupt peaks, their tops cut off, leaving only flat, circular, yellowish-brown platforms.

The three peaks were positioned very cleverly, forming a triangle, enclosing an area of several hundred li in the center.

This was a famous forbidden zone in the Ten Thousand Swords Immortal Domain!

In the past, immortals and demons had fought here, and many great demons had fallen.

The demonic qi that erupted from the dead demons had tainted this large area of land.

Many living beings were harmed by the demonic qi.

Having no other choice, powerful experts joined forces to move three peaks here, setting up a formation to seal off the area and prevent the demonic qi from spreading.

This eventually formed the current Broken Demon Cliff.

“I wonder what’s going on? The demons in Broken Demon Cliff seem to have increased a lot recently.” Outside Broken Demon Cliff, a graceful young man said.

Around him were many other handsome young men and beautiful young women.

“Not only that, but the demons inside have also become much more terrifying. Many people have died inside recently.”

“In any case, Broken Demon Cliff has become more and more dangerous. It’s no longer suitable for us to train here.”

“…”

The young man’s words immediately sparked a discussion among the crowd.

On the path of immortality, one should avoid being complacent and stagnant.

Many cultivators liked to come to Broken Demon Cliff to kill demons and hone themselves.

Only by walking between life and death could one more easily break through and surpass oneself.

But recently, the demons in Broken Demon Cliff had become increasingly powerful, and the environment had become extremely dangerous. Although the cultivators wanted to hone themselves, they didn’t want to throw their lives away.

Thinking of this, someone sighed, “Let’s go, let’s go. There are many places in the Ten Thousand Swords Immortal Domain to train. There’s no need to die here. I suspect a great demon might be reviving inside.”

This immediately resonated with many people.

Some turned back.

Others hesitated, looking at Qing Shanzi in the field. He was extremely strong, and they wondered what choice he would make.

“Qing Shanzi, are you choosing to leave or stay here?”

Seeing the gazes directed at him, Qing Shanzi said indifferently, “The path of cultivation is fraught with difficulties. Cultivators like us are going against the will of heaven.

To retreat at the first sign of danger, what’s the point of cultivating? They’re just a few demons. I can slay them with a single sword strike.”

He didn’t explicitly state his choice.

But everyone understood his meaning. He was still going to enter Broken Demon Cliff!

After speaking, Qing Shanzi didn’t look back and strode towards Broken Demon Cliff.

“He is truly a chosen one. I am far inferior to him.” Seeing this, many cultivators were moved.

“Ah”

Just then, a scream rang out.

Everyone’s faces stiffened because the scream came from Qing Shanzi. He had only taken a few steps into Broken Demon Cliff.

When he was pierced through the heart by a Demon Hawk.

Everyone: “…”

The Demon Hawk’s fierce gaze swept coldly over the people standing outside Broken Demon Cliff, then flew towards the depths.

With the three peaks present, these demons generally wouldn’t easily leave Broken Demon Cliff.

But even so, everyone felt a chill from the Demon Hawk’s gaze.

Seeing the Demon Hawk leave, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Some people saw Qing Shanzi’s corpse and sighed, “Although cultivators should have the determination to face danger, it’s more important to understand the situation. Being too impulsive can easily lead to one’s downfall.”

“That’s right, that’s right. This Qing Shanzi was too arrogant, which led to his demise.” Many people nodded in agreement.

As for those who had previously praised Qing Shanzi, they all closed their mouths and said nothing.

“Let’s go. This Broken Demon Cliff is no longer a place we can stay.” Someone said.

Shua, just then.

In the distance, a figure approached. It was Li Feng, who had come from afar.
