Chapter 109: Chapter 109 Lightning Walking Spirit Bone

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Chuxue was baffled as she carried those wooden trays, looking at the backs of their visitors in doubt.

“That’s weird! Why did they send over these items to us? Was that weapon shop also opened by the City Lord?”

Zong Shou smiled, but didn’t reply. He grabbed a Cloud Pattern flying knife and played around with it in his hand.

The material quality of these knives was no weaker than that of the Lightning Tooth swords. The Cloud Pattern talismans on them just needed to be slightly mustered and mist would come out. It carried Cloud Shocking God Destroying sword intent, much stronger compared to his current Willow flying knives.

It was still as thin as a cicada’s wing, but it was sharper.

His focus wasn’t on the knife at hand, but coldly looking at a building opposite them in the distance.

That was the City Lord manor, fifty foot high stone walls totally separating the huge and wide patio from the outside. On the right there was a building slightly higher than the stone wall. It was ten thousand feet away from him, but looking out one could see that there were two people up there.

“What else can it be for? People sent the things we ordered over naturally because they want us to leave...”

Chuxue gave out a “ah”, she did not understand. That person at the end had told them to stay here for a few more days. That person was treating them like a plague, making them really unhappy.

Yin Yang’s face turned gloomy, his expression really ugly. Zong Shou was still smiling with his eyes squinted.

Cloud Saint City has great scenery and is peaceful, the best area to tour and look around.

The meaning was obviously that they didn’t want to be wrapped up in this storm. If something bad happened then it would go from peaceful to things happening. Even if the scenery here was great, no one would come over to tour.

He had seen through it and also understood the tough situation that the Cloud Saint City Lord was in. If it was him, he would probably handle the matter the same way... but he still felt slightly uncomfortable and unhappy in his heart.

Not even bothering to meet and just directly chasing them away, that was a little too much...

Mocking himself, Zong Shou stopped looking at that building as he walked back within his own courtyard. Actually, without needing the City Lord to remind him, he was already prepared to leave, it was just two days earlier.

Getting the Cloud Pattern flying knives and external bone parts early was actually a good thing.

He thought back to the peaceful and comfortable days. As expected, they didn’t last long. It was impossible to even find a quiet place to live...

To be able to survive in this world, he couldn’t depend on others. Only depending on his own strength, sword art, and spiritual techniques would he be able to have a stable foundation.

He had to take this seriously...

“Liancheng, is that the Gantian Mountain Prince?”

Ten thousand feet away, in that five story building, an old man in robes was looking over. His face was redder than dates and his expression was calm and peaceful.

Looking out from there, he was able to see the thin and weak-looking teen outside of the stone walls. “To be able to sense me, this person is really sensitive and sharp! He doesn’t look like someone who hasn’t cultivated?”

“This Prince does in fact have something special about him. However, I ordered people to observe him for several days and didn’t notice him showing any signs of cultivating, and it looks like he hasn’t trained in the soul. If he had trained in either there would be signs on his body. But master, you saw that this person doesn’t even have a bit of martial cultivator energy, and neither does he have any soul power that seeped to the outside...”

The one who spoke was behind the old man. His face was filled with wrinkles, a middle-aged man who looked like a butler, standing there with his hands down. He was wearing a black robe and one was unable to see anything special about him... except when he occasionally raised his head, his eyes were like an eagle.

That old man frowned, “Although that is true, I feel really uneasy. Mr Lei Dong told me to try my best to take care of him. In the end, not only couldn’t I respect his wishes, instead I am chasing him away...”

The face of the butler known as Liancheng changed, looking a little helpless, “This matter isn’t your intention and is because of pressure from many sides. Mr Lei Dong always does what he wants, after ordering people to send his instructions he didn’t even appear, making one doubt. Maybe Mr Lei Dong has already forgotten about the matter. This person is in a whirlwind and this matter concerns the fate of many sides in Donglin. He is said to have some connection to the Eight Tail main sect of the Sky Fox race. This isn’t something our Cloud Saint City can interfere in. A trash with a Dual Meridian Body is not worth our city doing so much for him. Making him leave is the best way!”

The old man hesitated, finding it difficult to make a decision. After a short while he sighed, “I can only be sorry towards him, but before he leaves I still need to meet him and send him away. I don’t want to form any relationship with this person, but neither do I want to make enemies with him. There has to be some reason Mr Lei Dong thinks so highly of him. Prepare some presents later to bring over!”

Liancheng was startled, raising his head only to see the calm expression on the old man’s face, his tone and expression one that didn’t accept any doubt. He had no choice but to stop what he was about to say, not persuading him anymore, “Liancheng will follow your instructions! But as for the scale of the gift...”

That old man was in deep thought and didn’t reply. Liancheng bowed slightly before going down into the building. He also knew that his old master’s meaning was not to treat him so importantly, just normally would do.

Returning to the courtyard, Chuxue had already calmed down. Although she was furious, but after thinking about it, this was, after all, their territory.

They had already spent ten-odd days here with no danger at all, so why weren’t they satisfied? They couldn’t ask them to help protect them forever, right?

Yin Yang was the same, but he was much calmer, like he had expected everything that had happened. “I heard that Cloud City City Lord Xu Zhengyuan in his heyday rebuked the heavens and Earth, his personality was explosive and he was really vicious when he did things. At thirty-five years he reached the Spirit Ancestor level, unifying three thousand miles of land around Cloud Saint City.

“He was then injured by someone, his injury hard to heal, and he started to calm down. The way he did things became like that of a woman, hesitant and not decisive. He focused on treating people nicely, never forming enemies with others. It has been like this for the past few decades, the situation going from bad to worse. There were many times when he was forced into desperation by others, but he didn’t dare to fight back, relying on his past relationships with those hidden sects and aristocratic families to barely protect the city. It seems like it is becoming more and more unbearable...”

Zong Shou was amazed. Who knew that this Cloud Saint City City Lord had such a glorious past? Three thousand miles in radius spanned many provinces!

As for the other few sentences that Yin Yang said, he didn’t agree. How could one with a personality of a tiger easily keep his sword? Xu Zhengyuan did things like that probably because of helplessness.

However, it didn’t concern him. Moreover it was already very late and they could wait until tomorrow to leave.

——

Once again heading into his room, he couldn’t help but look through the hole once more. It wasn’t blocked and the situation on the other side could still be seen. Zong Shou quickly looked away.

“It seems like she isn’t there? Did she leave via the back door?” Filled with doubt for a moment, Zong Shou didn’t pay much attention and started to assemble the parts.

The Wind Travelling Spirit Bones before were only the legs. This set that he custom-made even had the upper arms!

It was similarly made up of Grade Three Cloud Whale bones, but the quality was different. One was taken from the ribs, while the other was taken from the wings that helped to sustain the entire body weight of the Cloud Whale as it flew in the sky. In terms of strength, it was at least three times stronger.

Many lightning patterns were carved on it. The arms and joints were made up of metal and were shining with a cold light, making this external bone more durable.

The hands were similar to sword claws, his five fingers able to be sleeved within them. Each finger sword was sharp and hard, no weaker than a Lightning Tooth.

The runes carved on the outside were using a material known as Blood Spirit Copper, seeping through the bones. These markings were not easy to destroy, but also not easy to fix.

——

Zong Shou spent a full hour before managing to assemble one. After donning it, he could feel that this external bone set resonating with the Lightning Phoenix talisman within his body.

Grabbing out fiercely, he crushed the only remaining sandalwood chair within his room into pieces. Zong Shou’s eyes instantly lit up as he started to calculate his strength.

“Around four thousand two hundred and fifty kilograms! My personal strength is around eighteen hundred kilograms, this external bone added a total of two thousand four hundred and fifty kilograms of strength, close to the five thousand kilograms strength of a nine meridian Mythic Master!”

Zong Shou was amazed, the name of this new set of external bone was known as Lightning Walking. It was different from the Cloud Walking, as the latter was controlled by wind energy, while the Lightning Walking was controlled by lightning.

Although the two were both known for being swift, on this aspect the Lightning Walking spirit bones were far above that of the Cloud Walking, even faster than the Cloud Stepping Foals.

Its combat ability wasn’t weak, either. Not only could the five sword claws work, there was also a space within the two arms that could hide swords. If one had enough soul power, one could even direct its lightning to injure people.

In his last life, this Lightning Walking spirit bone could at most supply 2500 kilograms of strength.

“Most probably the Cloud Whale bones of this era aren’t from tamed and grown Cloud Whales, but were wild grown, so naturally they are more sturdy and durable!”

Zong Shou was excited, his body flowing around the room as he used the bone to display fist techniques.

It wasn’t the Foundation Breathing Spirit Fist nor the Five Round Enlightened King Fist. Instead, the ten sword claws brought with them a cold glimmer, swift like a tiger and ferocious like a leopard.

After a short moment, Zong Shou’s interest waned.

“Although this external bone is strong but wearing it, the fist techniques aren’t as flexible as when one uses their own bodies. If I wear it to fight, my combat ability would instead drop by two levels. No wonder in my last life, apart from the top-grade external bones, all other experts viewed them as a burden...”

Looking into his body once more,he realized that after training in the sword and in the fist, the amount of Lightning Phoenix essence that he digested was so little. Only a really little amount was truly absorbed by his skin and flesh. Breaking through once more would take at least several months.

Shaking his head slightly, Zong Shou sat cross-legged on the bed, taking out a Cloud Pattern flying knife and placing it in the palm of his hand.

Using strength, the flying knife in his right hand rose like a Spiritual Artifact as it hung half an inch above the palm of his hand.
