Chapter 7 When did such a monster appear?

Chapter 7 When did such a monster appear?
The Yuncang Mountains are vast and boundless, and there are many ferocious beasts in them. The deeper you go, the more dangerous it becomes.

The Yuncang Sword Sect is located deep in the vast mountains. The five inner peaks do not appear to be majestic, but the five peaks are connected, like a giant palm, firmly blocking a bottomless abyss.

The abyss was filled with thick black fog, and there was no end in sight. Just one look at it was enough to make people feel creepy, as if there was a terrifying beast sleeping in it.

The five main lineages of Qingyun, Huanglong, Xuanhe, Baihong and Chixiao inherited five peerless sword scriptures. The combination of the five sword scriptures is the Yuncang Sword School's peerless magic skill, the Five Elements Exterminating Divine Light Sword.

In the past, the founder of the sect, with only a sword, killed seventeen beast kings in the depths of the Yuncang Mountains. He suppressed the trapped Dragon Abyss with one sword, and the rolling tide of beasts was firmly sealed in the depths of the mountains.

Now, after thousands of years, the Yuncang Sword Sect has long become a behemoth in the north. Disciples of every generation have taken it as their responsibility to suppress the beast tide in Yuncang Mountain. Countless disciples have sacrificed their lives and shed their blood to maintain peace in the north, thus gaining an extremely high prestige.

Lu Chengfeng participated in the assessment of the outer peak elders in the Transmission Hall near the Inner Five Peaks. This place was busy with people coming and going, and from time to time he could see many outer peak disciples rushing in and out.

The Transmission Hall is responsible for the assessment of the elders and disciples of the outer peaks and the inheritance of the sect's skills. It is one of the eight halls of the sect, and the elders in the hall are all true disciples from the inner peaks.

After Lu Chengfeng arrived here, he applied to the elders of the hall. The relevant assessment had already formed an extremely complete process in the sect. After verifying his identity, the elder couldn't help but frowned slightly.

"Lu Chengfeng, are you sure you want to apply for the assessment of the outer peak elders?"

Lu Chengfeng: "Of course."

“The elders of the outer peak need to practice an external skill to the tenth level or above. I see that you are only in your early twenties, and you are not a true disciple of the inner peak. Don’t come here to make trouble.” The elder of the Kung Fu Transmission Hall had a somewhat unfriendly look on his face, and his tone contained reprimands and admonitions.

You must know that the assessment within the sect is not a joke. It contains great risks. If you are not careful, you will fail.

Although these words were impolite, they were also well-intentioned.

Lu Chengfeng was not angry either. He raised his hand and said, "Thank you for your advice, Elder. I already know all of this. I am fully confident in this assessment. I hope you will support me."

After these words were spoken, the elder opposite was slightly stunned, and then he carefully looked at the young man opposite, only to see that his eyes were clear and his expression was firm, and he was not like those arrogant and mentally deranged people.

He frowned slightly and asked again, "Are you sure you want to take part in the assessment of the Outer Peak Elders?"

Lu Chengfeng said solemnly: "Disciple has made up his mind."

Such an attitude immediately aroused the curiosity of the elder, who thought to himself, "Could it be that there is a young genius in the outer peak? At such a young age, he already has the skills of the tenth level of cultivation?"

A thought flashed through his mind, and he said, "Since you have made up your mind, then follow me."

Lu Chengfeng followed him all the way and soon arrived at an animal cage made of gold and iron. In it, he saw a black-haired iron-armed ape over ten feet tall lying on the ground and sleeping.

"This is a mid-level beast, with immense strength and bones of steel. Those with martial arts skills lower than the tenth level cannot even break its fur."

"As long as you can fight this black-haired iron-armed ape head-on for an incense stick of time and injure it, you will pass the test."

The elder who was passing on the skills reminded him again: "Are you ready? It's not too late to regret now. Otherwise, if you are not strong enough, you will be torn to pieces alive by this black-haired iron-armed ape."

Lu Chengfeng slowly placed his right hand on the hilt of the sword, "Elder, please open the cage."

Upon seeing this, the elder who was in charge of teaching skills said no more. He took out a huge black and gold key and directly opened the iron lock hanging on the iron cage.

With a crisp click, the iron cage slowly opened, revealing a hole that was only big enough for one person to fit through.

Lu Chengfeng used the skills from the Bixiao Sword Manual, and with a flash of his body, he slipped into the cage.

"Roar!"

The movement of the iron cage instantly awakened the sleeping black-haired iron-armed ape. The ferocious beast, which had been hungry for a long time, suddenly opened its scarlet eyes and let out an angry roar.

After seeing Lu Chengfeng, it suddenly climbed up from the ground, then stood upright, with a pair of iron arms hanging down towards the chest, and its bloody mouth extended with sharp white fangs, as if it wanted to bite someone.

boom!
This beast grew up fighting in the vast mountains and forests, and its killing was far beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Although its body was extremely tall, its movements were extremely agile and swift. Its arms smashed down like pillars of heaven, smashing towards Lu Chengfeng fiercely.

Lu Chengfeng narrowed his eyes slightly, and at the critical moment, he suddenly dodged.

The place where he was originally standing was cracked by the pair of iron arms. Smoke and dust rose up, the ground shook, and the iron cage rattled.

boom! boom! boom!
This black-haired iron-armed ape was too violent. After discovering its prey, it attacked crazily with its arms, and shadows were everywhere.

Lu Chengfeng was forced to dodge continuously, and only then did he realize the terrifying nature of this mid-level ferocious beast. However, with such violent power, if he were to collide head-on, he would surely be crushed into meat paste.

When he was forced into a corner of the cage, the ferocious beast opened its arms wide, and then suddenly opened its huge mouth, spewing out a green mist.

Lu Chengfeng only felt a fishy stench coming towards him, and thought to himself that something was wrong. He quickly held his breath and practiced the Bi Hai Qing Tian internal energy method. In an instant, his energy and spirit reached the peak.

"It seems that this disciple lacks experience. He is not even familiar with the attack method of the Black-haired Iron-armed Ape. He dares to come and challenge us. He is really too arrogant." The elder who teaches skills could not help but shake his head.

Those who dare to come for the assessment by the elders of the outer peaks must have been trained in the mountains for a long time and are familiar with the habits and fighting methods of the ferocious beasts being assessed. Only then will they dare to fight in the cage.

"He is young after all, but his body movements are very sophisticated and he has already reached the seventh level. It should not be difficult for him to save his life."

"It's not a bad thing for young people to have some setbacks and learn some lessons."

The elder who taught him the skills was a true disciple of the inner peak. When he saw that Lu Chengfeng had excellent skills, he felt a desire to attract his talent.

He reached out his hand from his left sleeve and grasped a scimitar. There was a blue halo flowing on the blade, and it was obvious that it was poisoned.

This poison is specially prepared for the black-haired iron-armed ape. It can make it fall into a deep sleep in just a few breaths after being stabbed. It is specially created to rescue those who are taking the test.

Even so, accidents are inevitable during the assessment, so every disciple will be extremely cautious when applying for the assessment.

However, at this moment, Lu Chengfeng took advantage of the moment when the beast opened its arms, and suddenly dodged and got close to the beast's armpit.

The green mist was spreading everywhere, but it was unable to reach this dead corner for a while.

Keng!
Along with the clear sound of the sword, an extremely bright sword light flashed, and directly on the Han Chan sword, there was a dark white sword energy that penetrated one foot and slashed out in an instant.

puff!

Blood splattered, and sword energy penetrated into the body, tearing a bloody hole in the black-haired iron-armed ape's lower limbs.

Lu Chengfeng moved with the sword, and in a flash he had slipped from the armpit to the back of the ferocious beast. He then slashed it with another sword, leaving another bloody cut on its back.

"Roar!" The black-haired iron-armed ape felt pain and immediately let out an angry roar.

However, at this moment, a cold light flashed, and a scimitar pierced into his body with incredible precision.

The black-haired iron-armed ape's body trembled, and it held its body with its arms violently. It bared its teeth and was about to turn around to kill Lu Chengfeng.

But as he turned around, his body fell to the ground with a bang.

"Junior Brother Lu is indeed very skilled. Congratulations on passing the test." The elder who was in charge of passing the test showed an amazed look on his face. "With your age and cultivation, you are qualified to become a true disciple of the inner peak. I will report this to the hall master. I think there will be news from the inner peak soon."

"Congratulations, Junior Brother Lu!"

The elder addressed himself as "junior brother" as soon as he spoke. His tone was much more affectionate than before, and his eyes were full of amazement and disbelief.

"He has already cultivated swordsmanship to the tenth level at the age of just over twenty. When did such a monster appear in the outer peak? If the news gets out, it will probably shake the sect."
