Transmigration with Cheat Codes Chapter 10.2: Mysterious Void Technique

After achieving a certain level of proficiency in martial arts, the internal cold poison became even more severe than before.

Due to the constant pressure from the cold poison, Meng Jintang would unconsciously activate her internal energy even while asleep. This led to the continuous improvement of her proficiency in "Mysterious Void Technique" at all times.

Regulating her internal energy, Meng Jintang walked steadily through the forest. She had now discovered the benefits of her new skill - it could be used to attack the Han Mountain Serpent Eagle.

The Han Mountain Serpent Eagle would often swoop down to harass passersby, but it had never been killed despite being constantly attacked.

This was because it had a very frustrating mechanic that would cause it to fly away with flapping wings once its health dropped to a certain level.

Previously, Meng Jintang's attack power was insufficient, so she could only leave the Han Mountain Serpent Eagle with low health. Now, she could utilize a more substantial amount of internal energy to directly push it with both palms, depleting its health bar in an instant.

As time passed unnoticed during her monster hunting, an hour later, Meng Jintang had successfully reached level 9 (100/3600). With her progress, the number of free attribute points she had obtained also increased to four.

Within this forest, there existed a higher-level wild monster called the Red-Spotted Viper. Its venom and snake gallbladder were valuable ingredients in the medicinal formula for "Unwillingly Crimson" and an antidote recipe, respectively.

Their value was even higher than that of the green snake gallbladder. However, the drop rate was quite favorable, with a chance to obtain them appearing two to three times out of ten encounters, even for those with extraordinary luck.

As the frequency of small monsters appearing gradually could not keep up with Meng Jintang's speed of killing them, she changed today's activity from the monotonous task of slaying monsters to the monotonous task of slaying monsters and collecting herbs.

Along the edge of the bushes, Meng Jintang spotted a licorice plant. She reached out her hand, plucked it, and then paused for a moment. Slowly, she stored the gathered herb into her long sleeves before swiftly flicking her wrist, causing six sword flowers to bloom in rapid succession.

Uncertain of the enemy's whereabouts, she decided to go for an AOE-style attack instead.

Meng Jintang's "Hanshan Sword Art (Incomplete)" had reached its maximum level, and she had also achieved some proficiency in "Mysterious Void Technique (I)".

When she wielded her sword, she exuded a fierce aura. Those hiding in the shadows dared not directly confront her attack. They leaped down from the trees and quickly retreated, avoiding the range enveloped by this sword strike.

The sword stirred up the fallen leaves in the forest, causing them to flutter and fall.

Meng Jintang slowly turned sideways, holding her long sword.

A man in his thirties suddenly appeared in front, dressed like an ordinary martial arts wanderer. His eyes, shaped like inverted triangles, darted around restlessly.

This man also carried a sword, and Meng Jintang's gaze swept over the blade, noticing the engraved characters "Dian Cang" in seal script.

Upon discovering this detail, the unidentified martial artist in the identification information transformed into the "Traitor of the Dian Cang Sect."

In "Martial Arts Ascension," the Dian Cang Sect was just an inconspicuous and ordinary sect.

In the game, regardless of the sect, there was always a chance of encountering traitors. These traitors were often of low character, with names as red as chicken blood, and their features exuded a strong sense of sleaziness, as if proclaiming, "I am a scoundrel."

The traitor of the Dian Cang Sect squinted his eyes and stared at her for a moment before asking, "Are you from the Six Fan Sect, or are you sent by Old Guy Wang?"

In the martial world, not only would the Six Fan Sect offer a bounty for these martial arts scoundrels who caused trouble, but the betrayed sect itself and the Martial Alliance would also send people to hunt them down.

Therefore, Meng Jintang had reason to suspect that the "Old Guy Wang" mentioned by the traitor might be a high-ranking member of the Dian Cang Sect.

Meng Jintang gazed at him for a moment and smiled faintly, "Why don't you take a guess?"

Before the words had even finished, the traitor of the Dian Cang Sect thrust his sword forward. While he was not slow, Meng Jintang's attack was even faster. In an instant, her sword gleamed, swiftly approaching the vital point of his throat.

The Dian Cang Sect traitor's technique appeared outdated, but he remained composed as he smoothly crossed his sword to block Meng Jintang's thrust towards his lower abdomen. The tip of his sword suddenly lowered, intercepting her attack.

Clang—

Although the long sword was blocked, the internal energy flowing through the sword still made contact with the opponent's body despite the obstruction.

The traitor of the Dian Cang Sect immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. His internal energy couldn't flow smoothly, and his stance fell apart.

He hadn't expected that a graceful and slightly cold, young girl would suddenly appear in this secluded forest like a spring rain. He was even more astonished that this girl inexplicably detected his presence and managed to beat him to the point of spitting blood in just a few moves.

"Hold on, hold on! Spare me, miss. I'm actually not a bad person, and I have no ill intentions," the traitor pleaded.

Meng Jintang pressed the tip of his sword against the neck of the Dian Cang Sect disciple and smirked, "Oh? Then who exactly are you, and why haven't I seen you around here before?"

Not a bad person, no ill intentions... When he spoke, he must have been unaware of how notorious his name had become.

The Dian Cang Sect disciple nodded repeatedly and then fabricated a story about accidentally getting lost in the mountains. They claimed to have just arrived today to visit relatives in a nearby town, but ended up taking a wrong turn.

Due to hunger, they climbed a tree to pick some fruits, and that's when Meng Jintang, who happened to pass by, mistook them for a villain.

Meng Jintang gazed at the grass leaves in the other person's hair and a smile curled up on her lips.

Even without using appraisal techniques, the other person's words were filled with inconsistencies.

There were numerous grass leaves on his head, not just a few, but a multitude of them. Some of the leaves were still vibrant green, while others had already wilted.

The other person was not short, so if assuming the grass leaves were acquired while traversing through the mountains, they should have been more likely to appear on the cuffs of their pants. As for the hair, there would be an even greater chance of various tree leaves getting tangled in it.

Meng Jintang suspected that the other person had been staying in the mountains for quite some time. During that period, they must have been sleeping on the ground, using the grass as a makeshift pillow, to have such a unique hairstyle.

The Dian Cang Sect disciple, noticing that Meng Jintang remained silent, suddenly gripped their weapon and swung the sword horizontally with force, aiming to strike at Meng Jintang's lower body.

Just as the sword was about to make contact with his opponent's skirt, a green figure flickered before their eyes. The young woman in green attire had vanished from her original position. In the next moment, a sharp and intense pain struck them from behind.
