Seeing that, Yun Shu suddenly came up with an idea. Again, he formed another spirit fire blade using his Spirit Qi.
"Catch it!" Yun Shu threw the blade.
Yun Shu had hurled it with all his strength, and thus, the speed of the blade was breakneck.
However, before the blade reached the edge of the stairway, the little chick suddenly jumped up and caught up to it at a fantastic speed. Afterward, the little chick snapped the blade into pieces and swallowed it.
"Wow! So you're immune to fire-type martial art skills, and you can also move so fast!" Yun Shu was surprised.
"One more time, little thing!" said Yun Shu, throwing out a number of fire blades in different directions.
The little chick handled it very well as it moved back and forth at a swift pace and devoured all the three blades.
Its speed was even faster than Yun Shu's Thunder Move!
The little chick was still a baby. Yun Shu couldn't help imagining what kind of mysterious and powerful creature it would grow into.
At this time, the little chick had come back and continued to beg Yun Shu eagerly.
Another idea flashed in Yun Shu's mind. He said to it with a smile, "Little thing, take a look at this."
Yun Shu raised his index finger, above which was a thin wisp of black flame swirling like a viper.
That black fire was a tiny portion of Yun Shu's Life Flame. Although it was small, it was much more dangerous than the previous fire blades.
Seeing a new type of flame, the little chick suddenly froze, drooling at the mouth. It was a creature that survived on fire. So it immediately recognized the black flame.
But, just then, Yun Shu withdrew the fire.
The feast suddenly disappeared right in front of its eyes, and the little chick was more than disappointed. Moaning and groaning, it Immediately collapsed to the ground and played dead in front of Yun Shu to protest.
Yun Shu looked at the little thing and couldn't help laughing.
"If you want it, you must also cultivate hard! From now on, every time you learn a good move, I'll give you a wisp of black flame as your reward!" Yun Shu said to the little chick.
His words instantly lifted the little chick's spirits. It hurriedly jumped up and kept nodding cheerfully. Apparently, it had agreed!
Yun Shu left another two spirit fire blades as its food and then turned to focus on his own cultivation. He didn't know what kind of moves the little chick was going to show him in the future. Besides, he couldn't help at all.
He knew that mythical creatures cultivated themselves in totally different ways. Their moves and cultivation techniques belonged to a completely unique system.
Generally speaking, the more powerful a mythical creature was, the more powerful skills it would inherit from its memory. Furthermore, human beings could not understand the techniques and skills specific to their race.
So far, Yun Shu still had no idea what the little chick was, but he was sure that it was absolutely a mighty mythical creature. Therefore, he had full confidence in the little chick.
Calming himself down, Yun Shu started to pay attention to his new defensive skill, Fire Scale Shield.
Compared with Spirit Fire Blades, to practice using a shield was much simpler. Within half an hour, Yun Shu had a rough understanding of the skill.
Buzz!
After a soft hum, Yun Shu's hand gripped a half-transparent shield about two feet long and wide. On top of it circulated a great amount of Spirit Qi, and the flame inscribed on it formed the symbol of a qilin.
Yun Shu wanted to test the shield, so he directly left the Stone Gate World and returned to the Valley of Crime.
At this time, the killing wind was still blowing in the valley. As soon as Yun Shu came back, he had to face countless wind blades.
Yun Shu quickly raised the shield in his hand to protect himself.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The fierce wind blades pushed Yun Shu back, forcing him to land ten feet away from where he stood a second before. Although he almost lost his grip on the shield, it still remained intact under the oppressive pressure.
That was not bad, but obviously, it was not enough for Yun Shu. For someone else in the valley, such a defensive martial art skill would be a great treasure. But for him, it was inadequate.
In terms of defense, his sword intent worked better than this fire shield.
At this moment, Yun Shu suddenly came up with an idea: what if he mixed his own Life Flame in it?
Yun Shu took immediate action without any hesitation. Circulating his Spirit Qi, he infused a wisp of black flame into the shield. Instantly, he heard a raging howl from his arm.
And then, the fire shield instantly grew to the size of three meters, big enough to protect Yun Shu from his head to toe facing the killing wind.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Yun Shu could hear the harsh clangs, as if metal was striking metal. However, the fire shield appeared to be much stronger now.
It worked!
A tiny touch of Life Flame could significantly increase the strength of this fire shield. Yun Shu was surprised at the seemingly infinite uses of Life Flame.
Now, the shield had become much more helpful to Yun Shu.
However, he carried the experiment further. Yun Shu formed a spirit fire blade and again infused a small amount of his Life Flame into it.
Afterward, he uttered a loud roar. Meanwhile, the spirit fire blade in his hand soared up into the air against the killing wind.
Bang!
All the wind blades were instantly snapped into tiny pieces by the powerful fire blade!
Yun Shu's eyes lit up with excitement. The power of the blow was already not inferior to when he used his ugly sword with his full strength.
Also, it was a long-distance attack.
Currently, Yun Shu's cultivation was only enough for him to use one spirit fire blade infused with his Life Flame at a time.
But in the future, Yun Shu was confident that he would be able to form hundreds of spirit fire blades and throw them at his enemies from a hundred feet away.
Before his enemies could even come any closer to him, the fire blades would finish them all!
Meanwhile, Yun Shu also had Fire Scale Shield to protect himself from any long-distance attack.
The two martial art skills matched each other perfectly, synergizing with each other to skyrocket his strength.
Yun Shu had a triumphant smile on his face. The killing wind gradually died away, and the valley became quite again.
It was time for Yun Shu to go back now. He was quite satisfied with what he had gained from this trip.
