Adding Friends Can Make Me Stronger

Chapter 12: Shock!

The passage wasn’t long, only three hundred meters. The walls on both sides stood towering, steep and precipitous. Occasionally, there were falling rocks. Looking ahead, the earth was pitch black, and humanoid figures stood erect, emanating a cold aura.

Hoo!

Sensing someone’s arrival, all the puppets raised their heads. Their originally dim eyes sparkled like gems, emitting a fierce aura. Those with weak wills might have thoughts of retreat under these gazes!

“Let me see how terrifying the Puppet Valley, known as the perilous place of the outer sect, really is.” Meng Changqing’s lips curled slightly. He walked forward.

Roar!

A strange sound rang out, and hundreds of puppets wielding different weapons charged toward Meng Changqing.

“How long can he last? He doesn’t even listen to the elder’s advice, truly ignorant!”

“Does he really think he’s strong?”

It seemed that everyone had already imagined the scene of Meng Changqing being severely injured and thrown out.

However, in the next moment…

“The Nine Shadow Sword Art!”

A calm voice sounded. Immediately, dense sword shadows slashed out, sweeping across all directions! All the surrounding puppets were shaken back, even blown away, with deep sword marks on their chests. The puppets stumbled, obviously injured at their core, their eyes flickering intermittently, before finally dimming completely and falling to the ground.

“What!” The crowd exclaimed, their faces showing disbelief. Some people’s mocking smiles were frozen on their faces. This scene was far beyond their expectations. It was completely different from what they had imagined!

“A sword with nine shadows, this is a perfected level of the Nine Shadow Sword Art!”

The elder’s expression also changed. “No wonder he dared to come and challenge the Puppet Valley just after breaking through. No wonder, facing so many puppets, he didn’t choose to dodge like others.”

In fact, the Nine Shadow Sword Art was a relatively comprehensive sword technique. The nine sword shadows were a method of mass attack, while the actual sword strikes were the most powerful.

And precisely because of its comprehensiveness, the cultivation difficulty of the Nine Shadow Sword Technique was very high, requiring extremely high comprehension. Looking at the vast outer sect, there were probably not many who could master it.

“I didn’t expect that there would be such a genius in the outer sect!”

The elder suddenly became excited, his eyes brightening. In his eyes, Meng Changqing was obviously defined as a neglected genius of the sect!

Boom!

Countless puppets continued to rush up. However, their fate did not change. They were all blown away, even shattered! Meng Changqing was completely immersed in the battle. With so many puppets surrounding him, and still full of murderous intent, it was impossible to say that he didn’t feel any pressure. But this was also a good opportunity to temper his spiritual will.

Martial arts cultivation wasn’t just about cultivation base. Mindset and willpower were also very important. The latter was like the helm, used to control the power of the whole body, preventing it from being chaotic. And the stronger the mental will, the better one could tap into spiritual secrets in the future!

“It’s so strong.” The crowd couldn’t help but exclaim in shock. Those were hundreds of puppets, but Meng Changqing was showing no signs of panic. On the contrary, he seemed to be as relaxed as if he were taking a stroll in the garden. Almost none of the puppets could get close to him. They were all directly slashed away!

This scene was simply incredible! Pushing through the Puppet Valley horizontally! Could this be something that outer sect disciples could achieve?

Completely unimaginable.

Gurgle~

Even Zhao Zhen and the others couldn’t help but swallow their saliva. Faced with so many puppets, they had been dodging left and right, not daring to confront them head-on. But this guy…

“Senior Brother Meng!” Bai Suxi’s eyes were shining brightly.

Bang!

The puppet was sent flying and crashed heavily to the ground.

A slender figure walked past it.

It was Meng Changqing.

By now, he had reached the end of the passage.

Behind him lay puppets strewn all over the ground. Almost all the puppets in the passage had been dealt with by him.

Now, only the last second-level puppet remained!

Meng Changqing exhaled lightly. He quickly adjusted his state and then looked ahead. Not far away, there was a puppet wearing heavy armor, larger in size compared to the others. It wielded a bronze hammer and exuded a strong pressure all over its body.

Sensing someone’s arrival, the puppet’s eyes under the mask suddenly opened, shimmering with a cold gleam.

It slowly stood up without a word, gripping the bronze hammer and charging toward Meng Changqing.

For a moment, there was a sense of earth-shaking.

“Do you think he can make it?” someone couldn’t help but ask. Now, no one dared to ridicule or underestimate Meng Changqing anymore. His overwhelming way of clearing the passage had left them deeply shaken!

They knew he was definitely a genius martial artist who surpassed them.

“It’s hard to say. After all, this is a second-level puppet,” someone pondered and replied, “Even if he can make it through, it probably won’t be as easy as before. There might be a tough battle ahead!”

Others nodded in agreement. This explanation seemed more plausible.

As the crowd discussed, the battle at the end of the passage began!
