Wiping away the sweat, Xiao Yefeng looked at the three items laid out before him. The now useless Crystal Bottle had already shattered when he tossed it under the tree earlier. At this moment, he called Mo Fei to the top of the tree. On the relatively spacious platform at the top, both Xiao Yefeng and Mo Fei stared in astonishment at the three items before them.
The two exquisite Soul Flags were not the reason for their shock. Of course, the two Soul Flags, one red and one green, represented the main souls of the two Guide Spirit Children. Xiao Yefeng directly stored them in his backpack. What truly amazed them was the strange Bamboo Slip that Xiao Yefeng had managed to retrieve with a hand that had been injured.
Indeed, what Xiao Yefeng pulled out was a neatly crafted bundle of Bamboo Slips, each only a millimeter thick, arranged perfectly in rows of five and tied together with a golden thread. This was also why Xiao Yefeng had noticed its rectangular shape.
The astonishment of both individuals did not stem from the craftsmanship of the Bamboo Slips but from the tag on the golden thread that read: Celestial Technique - Sword Control Technique!
Sword control? This term was familiar to anyone who harbored dreams of martial arts, whether from ancient legends or modern fabrications. It was a dazzling concept; flying on a sword was a dream cherished by all, especially by Sorcerers who revered it greatly. In various records, they had seen accounts of ancient practitioners who could indeed fly.
However, this knowledge had been lost over time. Although it had faded from practice, Sorcerers and even Ancient Warriors had not given up on this dream. With the advent of airplanes created by ordinary people, the allure of flying on swords had gradually diminished.
Now, discovering this Bamboo Slip clearly indicated the existence of such abilities. In a surge of excitement, Xiao Yefeng untied the golden thread and unfolded thirty-six Bamboo Slips. The traditional characters inscribed on them posed no challenge for either of them. After reviewing the cultivation steps, Mo Fei couldn't help but exclaim, "Feng, you need to study this carefully; this Bamboo Slip is connected to you. Besides, I didn’t see anything else in that tree hollow—only two Soul Flags!"
Mo Fei's concern wasn't about fearing that Xiao Yefeng would silence him; rather, under military protocol, he knew he would have to file a report after their actions. Logically speaking, this Bamboo Slip should be reported. However, considering their relationship, Mo Fei chose to keep it hidden—after all, who wouldn’t want their brother to gain more power?
Xiao Yefeng patted Mo Fei's shoulder and said, "Don't worry; once I learn it, I'll study it further to see if your Ancient Warriors can master this Sword Control Technique. Just because one person can't doesn't mean we can't improve upon it!"
"Then it's settled!" Mo Fei laughed heartily. Although he felt a tinge of regret for not being able to learn such an extraordinary ability as Sword Control Technique, Xiao Yefeng's words were comforting.
Xiao Yefeng carefully re-tied the Bamboo Slip. In reality, these were thirty-six jade slips made from spirit stones; otherwise, they wouldn't have survived to this day. What left Mo Fei feeling regretful was that the first requirement for cultivating Sword Control Technique was exclusive to technique practitioners, and even more stringent was that only those with pure spiritual energy who could cultivate two types of spiritual energy could practice it.
This condition was quite harsh; perhaps it was simple in ancient times, but nowadays who had the energy to cultivate two types of spiritual energy? If not for Xiao Yefeng's inherited memories that provided him with cultivation methods from both Confucianism and Daoism, almost no one today could manage to master both schools' strengths.
However, what left Xiao Yefeng somewhat disappointed was that Sword Control Technique and flying on a sword were two different concepts. Practicing Sword Control Technique to its third level might allow for sword flight; however, reaching that third level required advanced Inner Force as a prerequisite. Thus, what Xiao Yefeng envisioned as flying on a sword remained merely an imagination.
Even so, Xiao Yefeng felt a bit surprised because his self-created Psychic Blade had already touched upon the path of sword control; it just operated differently. In just a hasty attempt, he could already manipulate branches within a meter's reach to break them. No wonder two types of spiritual energy were necessary for execution—breaking a branch required a rebound from both energies; one type alone simply couldn't accomplish it.
Xiao Yefeng also discovered why Yuan Dui was able to recall the already thrown Black Sword. The Sword Control Technique had a record stating that no two types of spiritual energy could use their own energy as a consumption to forcibly ignite a part of their own energy as a recoil, using the force of the recoil to bounce back the Black Sword. While this method could indeed work, it was far too wasteful of spiritual energy.
Xiao Yefeng organized all his belongings, stowed away the illuminated ammunition submachine gun, wrapped the Black Sword before stuffing it into his backpack. He and Mo Fei carried several unconscious villagers out of the misty Ge Qing Gou. At that moment, the roar of helicopters gradually approached, and a group of soldiers clad in black combat uniforms, wearing the Huaxia National Emblem on their chests but lacking any military insignia, descended.
In thirty seconds, a formation of ten people had gathered in front of the two. Mo Fei clearly had experience with such matters; upon seeing the ten-person formation stand at attention, Xiao Yefeng handed over the villagers to him and stepped forward to say, "Hello!"
"Good day, sir! We are from National Security Team Six, responsible for cleaning up the battlefield. I am the Sixth Team Captain," one of them said after giving a standard salute.
"Yes! The battlefield is at the bottom of Ge Qing Gou, under that massive Blood Dripping Tree. There are still some bodies around; I would appreciate your help! Please arrange for a helicopter to take these villagers back to Geqing Village. By the way, how is the comfort work in Geqing Village going?" Mo Fei had evidently received all the information Xiao Yefeng sent from Mouse Team.
"Rest assured, sir. The logistics team has completely handled everything regarding Geqing Village. As long as these kidnapped villagers return home safely, there will be no problems!" the captain replied.
"That's good to hear. Let's go!" With the assistance of National Security Team Six, all the villagers were loaded onto a helicopter while another helicopter entered Ge Qing Gou with National Security Team Six.
No longer needing to traverse mountains and ridges, Xiao Yefeng and Mo Fei quickly arrived at the wound of Geqing Village as the helicopter flew directly there. After choosing a flat area to land, several villagers were returned to their homes. Their conditions were not severe; they had merely inhaled some Yin Qi and would likely suffer from a bad cold at most before recovering on their own since they were all strong men with abundant Yang energy.
Moreover, after Xiao Yefeng planted exorcism talismans on them, it was merely like having a cold's severity; they would soon return to normal. Indeed, the village was already surrounded by police; military and police forces often worked together. Some comfort work was more reliable when handled by police. In the village, Xiao Yefeng encountered Mei Chuanqiong and his companions who had returned earlier; all three looked well.
Mei Mo'er was still asleep, and Nangong Zhe had also fallen asleep due to exhaustion. After all they had been through during their capture, these two had hardly rested at all; now that they were finally safe, it was natural for them to sleep deeply.
As the greatest contributors, Xiao Yefeng and Mo Fei adjusted themselves with the help of enthusiastic villagers by finding a farmer's house to rest in. Adjusting simply meant taking a nap since both were extraordinary in their Martial Arts Cultivation but were still essentially ordinary people.
Meanwhile, back at Ge Qing Gou, National Security Team Six was astonished by the scene within the gorge as they cleaned up the battlefield. The sniping point where Xiao Yefeng had once crouched was now being inspected by two individuals checking corpses who were shocked by their own deductions. The two deceased had been killed almost instantly; broken bones testified to the clean and decisive methods of their assailant. After gathering all the bodies together, they also discovered a humanoid monster.
Of course, it was that Beastman with a broken neck! The same cause of death as those two made National Security Team Six think back to that silent young man; looking again at this corpse sent shivers down their spines.
"Biaozi! You remember how I disdainfully glanced at him back then? Did you see that?" one of the men responsible for inspecting the bodies remarked.
"Cut it out! They won't pay any attention to you. Don't worry, in our Huaxia, National Security and those perverts are one and the same!" Another person scoffed while carrying the body of a man who had been shot dead.
"I thought he was one of Rogue's subordinates. At such a young age, I didn't expect him to be so ruthless!" The first man lamented.
At that moment, the captain, who had just been talking to Mo Fei, walked over and said, "Li Lei, Zhao Biao! Why aren't you working properly? When we get back, you will be fully armed for ten kilometers every day!"
"Yes!" The two gritted their teeth in response.
Seeing their expressions, the captain understood. He continued, "We are ordinary people. Although each of us in National Security Team Six is an outstanding soldier selected from the best, we are not like the first five teams with their abnormal physical qualities. Therefore, we can only keep training. We can't think of ourselves as heroes; at the very least, we must become excellent soldiers!"
Not wanting to fall behind—perhaps this is why Huaxia is gradually rising! Everyone is unwilling to lag behind, which creates a hundredfold difference in outcomes.
At that moment, a voice came from the communicator on the captain's waist. After connecting, he immediately replied respectfully, "Yes! Understood, Commander! No problem!"
"Seal this monster's body and send it back to Base One. Destroy everything else, no matter how big!"
Subsequently, the Beastman's body was sent to Huaxia's Base One. Xiao Yefeng and Mo Fei were unaware that this mission had provided Huaxia with a fresh Orc Specimen. Although there were injuries involved, compared to the severed limbs found in the past, this discovery of the Beastman would undoubtedly add a significant chapter to Huaxia's scientific research endeavors.
Moreover, this discovery allowed Huaxia to uncover Western conspiracies ahead of time. From this moment on, the issue of Gene Warriors would no longer be a secret in Huaxia.
