Chapter 469 - 475: Hang Yu, the Light Chasing Sword Saint
Light Chasing Swift Shadow Swordsmanship, Light Chasing Swift Shadow Sword Array.
These two skills differ by just one word, yet they are completely different skills.
The former is the main skill of the Light Chasing Sword Saint and is extremely practical, so it corresponds to a purple Skill Stone.
This Skill Stone is even harder to acquire than the Four-sided Blood Prison. Hang Yu never thought he could get it so soon, but Celestial Desolation City acquired one for him.
This Skill Stone.
No matter the cost.
It’s worth acquiring.
Without preamble, Hang Yu directly asked, "What does Celestial Desolation City want for this Skill Stone?"
"We heard the Lord of Sand Spring City has two purple Skill Stones." Poison Blade was also candid; he had evidently done his homework, as Hang Yu was known for collecting Skill Stones, "We plan to exchange this one Skill Stone for the two purple Skill Stones you have."
Hang Yu frowned, "Exchanging one Skill Stone for two of the same quality is not a fair trade."
He did indeed have two purple Skills.
One is Ice River Descent.
Another is Eternal Damnation Flame.
Both are extremely powerful Magic Professional skills.
Ice River Descent causes less damage than the latter but has a massive attack range and a group freezing control effect.
Eternal Damnation Flame is a Fourth Tier Magic Series skill, one of the most violent among all Fourth Tier skills. It can easily kill a Lord-level monster in an instant.
Even though Light Chasing Swordsmanship is highly valuable.
Hang Yu didn’t think the two Skill Stones were much inferior.
He only had these two purple Skill Stones in total, and exchanging two for one seemed unwise.
Poison Blade said, "Although all purple Skill Stones are precious, their specific value is influenced by supply and demand. The Light Chasing Swordsmanship is of great value to you, but these two Skill Stones in your hand are dispensable for the Governor. Therefore, I think exchanging two for one is not inappropriate."
What he said made sense.
But acquiring a purple Skill Stone is no easy task.
If possible, Hang Yu still wanted to keep one.
After some contemplation, he said, "I can offer one of the purple Skill Stones, plus three blue Skill Stones, to exchange for the Light Chasing Swordsmanship Skill Stone. What do you think? You should know I can obtain many blue Skill Stones not native to the Desert Province, adding value to the deal."
Poison Blade shook his head, "Blue Skill Stones hold little significance for Celestial Desolation City; purple Skill Stones are the precious resources worth collecting, so I can’t make this decision lightly."
Hang Yu was in a dilemma?
Give up? Impossible,
If he missed this chance, who knows when the next opportunity would come.
Accept? Trading two purple Skills seemed a loss.
"Though the condition of two Skill Stones cannot be changed, we can add something more." Just when Hang Yu was hesitating, Poison Blade suddenly spoke, "We can add a blue Skill Stone and crucial intelligence."
As he spoke.
Poison Blade took out another separately stored blue Skill Stone.
[Light Chasing Shadow Step], blue upper grade quality, Light Chasing Sword Saint’s Legacy, requires consumption of 10,000 Spiritual Qi.
Hang Yu understood immediately; Celestial Desolation City was prepared. A Fourth Tier legacy requires four skills: one main skill and three regular skills.
Hang Yu already had Light Chasing Sword Array and Light-Seeking Sword. If he acquired Light Chasing Swordsmanship and Light Chasing Step, he could successfully activate a complete Fourth Tier legacy, making it impossible for him to refuse Celestial Desolation City’s offer.
Since that’s the case.
Why hesitate?
Frankly, Nazg was already showing leniency.
Putting it another way, Hang Yu wouldn’t offer more than necessary; trading a skill stone urgently needed by the other party for two Skill Stones of the same quality from them is just business as usual, not taking advantage.
"Alright!"
"I agree."
"What is the crucial intelligence you mentioned?"
Hang Yu agreed to the Skill Stone exchange and was also interested in the information raised by Poison Blade.
Poison Blade said, "The City Lord has been searching for a Master of Repair recently, and we have a clue on that. There is a Master of Repair in the Earth Dragon Realm."
Hang Yu asked, "Where is it?"
Poison Blade responded, "He was originally an important member of the Blackthorn Alliance, captured by Heska after being exposed. He should currently be in Heska’s territory. Heska didn’t kill him, presumably valuing his skills as a Master of Repair, and decided to imprison him for his use."
Hearing this, Hang Yu understood.
"So, the Governor’s message is hoping we can rescue this Master of Repair."
"Yes, he’s very important to the alliance and is also the target you are seeking, a win-win situation, isn’t it?"
Hang Yu fell into deep thought.
Nazg’s information should be reliable.
However, rescuing someone from under the Mad Dragon King’s nose is too difficult.
The real intention of Nazg is likely to persuade him to attempt the rescue.
After much hesitation, Hang Yu finally nodded and said, "I’ll give it a try."
Agree to it first.
No matter what, this is an opportunity, perhaps a successful one.
If he finds this Master of Repair and has the Sand Emperor’s cloak repaired, Hang Yu would gain a second piece of purple Equipment, greatly enhancing his strength.
The trade was completed.
Hang Yu successfully received two Skill Stones.
Without further ado, he immediately used the Skill Stones.
[Light Chasing Swift Shadow Swordsmanship], current level 1, activates the skill, every attack consumes 5 points of Spiritual Power, attack speed +300%, ignores defense attack +15, each attack releases an additional shadow attack dealing 50% damage.
[Light Chasing Shadow Step], current level 1, activates the skill, allows choosing between Light Chasing Step state or Rapid Shadow Step state: In the Light Chasing Step state, Gale Dark Strike is automatically triggered, entering Fourth Tier Stealth state, and normal attacks can be performed while in Stealth; In the Light Chasing Step state, Gale Step is automatically triggered, and Movement Speed +30, Physical Attack +15, Strength +10, agility +10, Abnormal State Resistance for slowdown +20, with Phantom Movement effect.
Both skills are currently level 1.
But even at level 1, their effects are powerful.
Light Chasing Swordsmanship can increase attack speed threefold and add damage that ignores defense.
If that’s not enough, each attack generates a shadow attack, meaning each attack delivers two hits.
So.
If your attack speed is fast enough.
You can beat your opponent without a chance to counter.
Furthermore, you can accumulate incredible damage!
Light Chasing Shadow Step merges the pre-skills Gale Step and Gale Dark Strike, offering two states: Stealth and Combat.
The Stealth state enters Fourth Tier Stealth, generally untraceable by reconnaissance skills, allowing normal attacks. In the Combat state, there’s no stealth effect, but the Movement Speed increases further, accompanied by various enhancements.
In summary.
These two skills are Status Skills.
They don’t provide instant burst damage.
They can’t compare to the Fury of the Mad Demon or Mad Demon Burial, nor to the Light Chasing Sword Array.
However, as Status Skills, they are more valuable during execution, especially against strong enemies, and with these two skills, Hang Yu can soon activate the first Fourth Tier legacy.
Hang Yu, the Light Chasing Sword Saint.
