《Dragon Esoterica》

    wedge


    Mount Ting was a towering mountain that reached hundreds of thousands of feet into the clouds. It was located in the center of the prehistoric land. It was protected by eight dragons and was the continent''s holy forbidden land. The peak of the peak of Chiyao peak into the sky, can be seen on the entire mainland.


    At this moment, an old man with a beard and beard of azure hair, dressed in hemp clothes, was sitting cross-legged on the peak of Crimson Jade Peak. Three flat stones were scattered in front of him. If one looked closely, they would realize that the two sides of the stone were carved with Yin and Yang symbols. It seemed to be some sort of special artifact.


    After the old man closed his eyes and focused for a long time, he opened them silently. The moment he did so, a ray of light pierced through the sky!


    The old man''s face was solemn as he stared at the sky. He was chanting the ancient "Heaven Seeking Curse".


    "Wentian, what do you think?"


    With that, the elder raised his hand and waved it in front of him. The three flat rocks on the ground all stood up and began to rapidly spin. When the rocks exhausted their strength, it was actually Three Suns Ascending!


    The old man''s expression did not change, and he once again sent out a palm strike.


    Shi Ziteng spun and fell again, but the three suns were still moving upwards!


    Just like this, the old man waved his sleeves six times and each time the three suns appeared.


    The old man was finally moved and his face was filled with gratitude.


    Six old Yangyao, the composition of the divination.


    Heaven above, Henry Yuan.


    However, this was not a simple divination. Old Yang was his six words. To understand Old Yang''s meaning, one needed to understand this saying: Taiji gave birth to two elements, and the two elements often changed.


    Two elements were yin and yang, yin and yang were often transformed! When do I change? It was the change of yin from the old to the old!


    The appearance of the six old Yangxian was to stir up rumours and change forms. It implied immediate action, and the conspirator had to immediately implement the plan. Once it was out of date, it would be wasted!


    However, whenever there is a movement of the divination, there will be a change of divination.


    When all six of his divinities were activated, the Yang turned into the Yin, forming another divinities. All six of his divinities became the Kun divinities of the Yin!


    The Earth of Kun was a treasure trove of virtue!


    What was occupied would be a great achievement in the end!


    The old man understood and said softly, "It can be done now!"


    With that, the old man held his palms up in front of his chest. Yin and Yang energy swirled around his palms and formed Taiji.


    The moment Tai Chi was formed, the entire mountain shook, and the eight dragon veins awakened. Black yellow qi gushed out of the dragon''s mouth and gathered in the palm of the old man.


    The old man softly said, "The world has changed, the sky and the earth have changed!"


    This was the true meaning of the time and space curse!


    After the old man finished speaking, he slowly pushed out his palms and a Space and Time Gate opened ¡­


    He was seventeen years old, but an orphan. He started wandering at the age of five, and at the age of eight, he learned all kinds of unorthodox techniques and walked around the martial arts world selling his skills.


    He remembered the face of the old man when he had taken him in, wrinkled as a wilted chrysanthemum.


    When he was fifteen years old, the old-fashioned way was gone.


    Although he often lamented that the old style had ruined his beautiful childhood, he was still grateful for the old one. If it wasn''t for the old style of taking care of him, he wouldn''t know which bridge he would be sleeping in, dressed in rags. Not to mention the fact that he was always treated like his own.


    Therefore, every year, in the early hours of the morning, they would do everything they could to bring a jug of good wine to pay their respects to the old grave.


    Looking at the approaching clear sky, he touched his shriveled pocket and sighed in his heart: Where is the money coming from?


    Shaking his head, he picked up a white banner in the corner, an old wooden box in his left hand, and a small stool in his right. He strode out the door. Today was the day of the temple fair on Tide Sun Street, and he had been thinking about this day of making money for a long time.


    A gust of wind blew past, causing the flag to slightly open. On the white cloth, there were six large words: Knowing your past life, coming from the next life.


    This was one of the techniques used to imprison people in the martial arts world: divination! Although she said yes, she didn''t praise him, because on the back of the white cloth was still written: "The wonderful medicine returns to spring, advancing bravely!"


    The sun was high in the sky, and in the middle of Tide Sun Street was a bustling crowd. There were all kinds of stalls, from the hot sun to the end of the street.


    After finding an empty space in the middle of the street, he put down the small wooden bench and set up the small wooden chest. Then, he took out a piece of canvas with Taiji eight trigrams, spread it on the chest, and inserted the banner into the ground.


    He sat at the front of the stall with his right elbow on his knee and his hand on his chin, waiting for his wish.


    However, even after a long time, there was still no sign of business. He rolled his eyes, took out a pen from the wooden box, and wrote on the banner: Don''t look down on your age, everything is fine!


    Needless to say, not long after he sat down, a middle-aged man with a moustache came to the stall in fear.


    The registrar was excited, "Boss, are you asking for permission or medicine?"


    The man with the moustache was not sloppy, as he looked up and down at the recording, "You''re so old and yet you''re coming out to sell medicine?"


    "If you don''t believe me, you can sit down and give it a try. No, no, no, no, no!"


    The moustache man''s interest was piqued. He suppressed the doubt in his heart and squatted in front of the stall: "Then let''s get a receipt first!"


    "Alright!" As he spoke, his eyes caught sight of the gold necklace hanging around moustache on his neck, and he was instantly overjoyed: Here comes the big fish!


    He took out a bamboo tube and stuffed it into a handful of bamboo sticks. Then, he handed it over to the moustache man and asked him to roll the lot. Seeing Eight-shaped Mustache focused on shaking the lot, Shi Mu''s eyes lit up as his thoughts quickly turned.


    Pa! "A bamboo stick fell down, and he quickly picked it up. After he pretended to look at it, he said," The boss is quite lucky to have a family. "In his early years, he was troubled, but in his middle years, Foru Lu came, but..."


    The guard touched his lips, not because he wanted to keep them in suspense, but because he was considering whether his next words were appropriate or not.


    The moustache man was shocked after hearing this and he impatiently said, "Young master, go on, go on!"


    "When the boss was middle-aged, the moon was invaded by the clouds, which seemed to disturb him. In his later years, however, he was like a dead tree meeting spring, and his children were filial and filial. It was a peaceful scene. This is the fate of three stages! "


    The moustache man''s expression immediately changed: This little mister seems to have some ability!


    Staring at the moustache man''s changed expression, the guard narrowed his eyes and deliberately asked, "I wonder if it''s allowed?"


    These words came from the golden necklace on the moustache man''s neck, which slowly spread outwards. How good could it be to be born in a remote town? This is an early embarrassment. The source of his luck was the golden necklace, while a middle-aged man with good fortune was either crazy or had met with trouble. This was because Brightmoon had been invaded again! As for a person who had worked hard all his life, most of his later years had accumulated some experience. When he reached the end of his life, his temperament had faded.


    The so-called three-layered mission was something made up by Ye Xiao after he finished his sentence!


    Eight-shaped Mustache put away his disdain, but he did not completely place the record in the hands of a deity. He deliberately said: "You are correct. I wonder if little mister can calculate the matter that I have requested today?"


    The originally triumphant mood in the detention was instantly frozen. He silently cursed, ''You''re not stupid, you''re actually making things difficult for me!''


    Although he was nervous, he pretended to be confident and said: "How difficult is that?! However, if you want to calculate a particular matter, you will need your ''birthday'' to do so. "


    The moustache man replied with the word "raw", while the clerk pretended to mutter, "ugly and ugly". He even reached out his left hand to pinch each of his fingers in a serious manner.


    The more he read, the faster his fingers moved. He was getting more and more anxious, "What exactly is this moustache man asking for?"


    After three minutes had passed, sweat had started trickling down his forehead. He narrowed his eyes and secretly glanced at the moustache man. Noticing that he seemed to be a bit impatient, he quickly put on a slow motion, "Name?"


    "Jia Yi."


    "Where?"


    "This is Tidal Sun Town."


    "Wait a moment."


    First, Jia Yi was recorded and stabilized. Then, Jia Yi''s words from the moment he appeared in front of the booth to now were filtered back and forth in his mind like a movie. Suddenly, he had a thought: Initially, he said he would first request for a lot of lots.


    Could it be that he was just asking for a signature, and asking for medicine was his real goal? From the looks of it, he seemed to be quite well off. If he had any worries, then the chances of him suffering from an unspeakable disease was rather high!


    Remind yourself: Calm down, I''ll take a closer look at his face!


    The prisoner suddenly opened his narrowed eyes and stared directly at Jia Yi''s face. He was trying to find out what hidden injuries Jia Yi had according to his facial features and the principle of his five visceras!


    Small eyes have a spirit, the liver is healthy; the nose is good, the lungs are fine, the mouth is not black or red or ulcerated, and the spleen is good. After this moustache man finished speaking, he stuck out his tongue to lick the corner of his mouth. Although that tongue was ugly, it didn''t have any special circumstances, which proved that Jia Yi''s heart was still considered strong and sturdy.


    "Could it be the kidney?" After some thought, the soldier reached out his hand to tug at Jia Yi''s ear. Unexpectedly, Jia Yi quickly jumped up and used his hands to block him, "You can''t touch your ears. Recently, there''s a bean growing in your ears. It hurts even if you speak loudly!"


    He instantly understood that the problem lay in his ears. His ears represented his kidneys. He examined the area beneath Jia Yi''s cheekbone and saw that it was slightly blackened, as if there were a few acne pimples on it. The more he observed, the more confident he became. He smiled and said, "It''s fine if you don''t want to touch it, but you have to answer a few questions honestly."


    Jia Yi squatted down again and asked, "Is it earplugs or tinnitus?"


    "Tinnitus."


    "Backache or lumbago?"


    "Back pain."


    Hearing this, Jia Yi''s eyes lit up. He calmly took out a small box from his chest and opened it. Inside were three round and small pills: Luminary Pills!


    Jia Yi stretched out his hand to receive the box, asking with some suspicion, "Just these three pills?"


    The official then widened his eyes as he stretched out his hand to pull the banner over. He then pointed at it and said, "The wondrous medicine returns to spring. The dragons and the tigers are bold and fierce. It is an absolute disease!"


    After saying that, he was afraid that Jia Yi would not believe him, hence he continued to dupe him. "This medicine has been set up by me, the person taking it must be sincere, otherwise the effect will be minimal!"


    Hearing this, Jia Yi did not dare to doubt anymore: "Sincerely, sincerely, absolutely sincerely!" After he finished speaking, he extended his finger and was about to touch the pill. Seeing that, the clerk quickly snatched it away: "This pill is expensive. I can''t just give it to you for free."


    "Of course, of course. As long as it can cure my illness, I will pay any price." Jia Yi''s words were filled with a heroic spirit.


    "I can see that you''re an honest man, but I can''t bear to kill you. One hundred pills for a hundred pills, for a total of three hundred. I''ll help you calculate which lucky days this elixir will be most effective on. " The charge quickly took the matter away from the price of medicine on the pretext of calculating the auspicious date of a good morning.


    Looking at the direction of Jia Yi''s disappearance, the magistrate felt elated: "Hehe, the money is in my hands!"


    He was no longer in the mood to stay and raised the banner. Just as he was about to carry it on his shoulder, he saw a figure standing in front of him. The guard raised his wrinkled face, but it was an old man. The guard only said that he came to check on him, so he waved his hand and said, "Close the stall. It''s noon, so don''t look at him."


    Unexpectedly, the old man stared at the banner and coldly snorted, "You sure have a big mouth."


    He had already decided on his remand and was unwilling to provoke any trouble. "I''ve closed my stall today and can''t be bothered to pay any attention to you."


    However, the old man spoke with a hint of meaning, "If you call yourself a comedian, can you show yourself?"


    The officer in charge was baffled and said evasively, "If you don''t give yourself face, you will be taught a lesson!"


    The old man was so angry that he laughed instead, "You''re still young and yet you don''t know how to live! "I can see that you are shrouded in black fog. It''s best not to go out before the Qing Ming Festival. Otherwise, you will be met with an unexpected calamity."


    After hearing this, the prisoner was immediately amused, "Are you going to say that you have a way to resolve this and then let me get away with it? I am the one who duped the ancestors! "Go, go, go! Don''t block this young master''s way!"


    With that, Lei Bao picked up the banner and left, not taking the old man seriously at all.


    What he did not know was that the old man that he had ignored was actually a spy from the martial arts world! The comrade-in-law passed by the Phoenix Cry Bridge today and sized it up a bit when he saw a fellow comrade-in-arms.


    They saw that the youth''s Heavenly Court was covered in dark clouds, and the hall was covered in dense black lines! Even though the old man had watched so many things in his life, he had never seen such a terrifying face before!


    Seeing that he still did not know of the evil omen, the old comedian kindly reminded him, but unexpectedly, this scoundrel not only did not take his words to heart, he even regarded him as a swindler like himself! The old comedian could only sigh helplessly. If the heavens wanted to take him in, why should he go against the will of the heavens?


    The day was clear and bright, so he woke up early and hurried five miles to Chaoyang Street. After buying the old style apricot village that he loved to drink the most, he returned home and hastily cleaned up the rest of his cooked food after lunch. With one hand holding the wine, he carried a sack of paper money with the other and went to the grave.


    "Didn''t you say that although the descendants of Fuze were there, it was harmful to the ancestors?" The charge had heard the old formula mention the land.


    The experienced look turned gentle. "This is the last thing I can do for you. You have to be tactful and be tactful in the future. I know your stubbornness. Your life ¡­" Before he could even finish his words, the old-fashioned way had already regretted his death.


    Tears began to fall from his eyes, "I know, my life is too tough. If the heavens can''t bear to see it, then they can take me. I can follow you down."


    As his experience grew, the prisoner now knew the purpose of the old style of burying him here. If this piece of land is used as a yurt, it will bring great blessing to the later generations. However, it will also greatly damage the ghost of the buried person. Every time a prisoner stood here, his mind would replay the scene of the old style of receiving oil from knife and saw in the underworld. Therefore, his heart was always heavy. This was one of the reasons why he had to bring a jug of wine to pay a visit to this place every time he cleared his mind.


    In the afternoon, the villagers gathered at the southern slope of the village. He took out a box of Red Tower Mountain cigarettes from his coat pocket, lit one, and stuck it in front of the grave, saying, "The water cigarettes in the shop have all sold out. You can smoke this new type of cigarette."


    Old style life two great: water pole, apricot village. After the burden of charging up, the old style gradually quit smoking because of the expense.


    He lit a cigarette, burned some paper money, and started pouring the wine. At this time, the prisoner became extremely excited, he pulled out a jug of wine from his waist, and laughed: "Old man, look! We found you good wine again! "


    As he spoke, he opened the bottle and brought it to the grave. He mischievously said, "Hehe, you want to drink? "Don''t worry, smell the fragrance first." Saying so, he shook the bottle''s opening, letting the fragrance of the old Apricot Flower Village permeate the entire western slope.


    As the prisoners were being joked around, they were caught unawares! A bolt of lightning struck down from the clear sky above the heaven and earth, aiming straight at the head of the registration. The intense light illuminated the entire southern slope. After the light had gone, the slope returned to normal. However, the lonely grave of Perseus was still there, and the shadow of the grave was nowhere to be seen.


    Even the man who had been struck by lightning was confused. When the pain reached his body, he shouted, "Old man, do you need to be so angry? Isn''t it just that the wine is a little too slow for you? " Unfortunately, the sound before it disappeared seemed to have been drowned out by the unknown space, and no one could hear it at all.

    Xiao Feng''s mind was filled with thoughts of the transmigration as he worked while digesting the information in his head. It wasn''t until around midnight that a few supervising soldiers allowed everyone to return to their resting areas to rest!


    Xiao Feng also followed them back. Although it was called a resting area, it was actually just a tent made up of tattered and tattered cloth. Compared to resting outside, it really only had a little more cover!


    "Feng''er, you''re back! Come quickly, come eat!" Just as Xiao Feng returned to the camp, an elderly man with a hunched back happily walked over and passed a bowl of rice to Xiao Feng.


    "Uncle Liu!" From his memories, this old man was called Liu Hu. He was the only family that had supported him since they were young, and they grew up together. They treated him as their own and loved him as much as they could.


    Five years ago, they were living in the slums, but they were later accused of committing a heinous crime.


    Uncle Liu was nearly sixty years old, and because the two of them had been exiled to this wilderness, but Uncle Liu was too old and had cooked well, so he was able to prepare food for everyone in the camp.


    "Come, come and eat, come and eat!" Uncle Liu smiled and revealed a benevolent smile. He looked around and nervously secretly took out a bowl of white rice from his bosom. He hurriedly gave Xiao Feng a meaningful glance.


    Xiao Feng felt warm in his heart. In this wild environment where workers were pressed into working, let alone white rice, even if they could have rice bran mixed with rice, it would already be good enough. Uncle Liu must have secretly left a bowl for him from the soldiers'' rice!


    "Uncle Liu, you ¡­" Xiao Feng wanted to say something but hesitated. Those soldiers were inhumane. If they knew, they would definitely be beaten to death.


    "Foolish child, it''s fine. Eat quickly, eat quickly! Once you eat, you will be fine, they won''t find out!" Uncle Liu lovingly patted Xiao Feng''s head as he lovingly said this.


    A bowl of white rice and some other dishes were hidden underneath. Uncle Liu quietly brought them out of the kitchen and left for Xiao Feng to eat!


    "Fine, fine, you old bastard. The military men don''t even have anything to eat, yet you still dare to steal rice for this little bastard to eat. You''re courting death!"


    Suddenly, a few soldiers appeared out of nowhere. When they saw the white rice in Uncle Liu''s hands, their faces immediately darkened.


    "Army lord, army lord, he''s still a child, he''s still growing. Army lord, please be merciful and give your child some food. He''s still sick, military lord ¡­"


    Uncle Liu''s expression changed and he quickly kneeled to the ground, begging the soldiers. He knew how vicious and merciless these people were. They could not do anything, so he kept on kowtowing.


    "Damn it, I''m still hungry, what am I going to eat if I give it to this little bastard?" Get the hell over here and see if I don''t beat you to death today! "


    "Uncle Liu, hurry up and get up. I''m not eating anymore. Uncle Liu, don''t ask them. A manly man has to kneel to the heavens and kneel to his parents. Who do they think they are!?"


    Xiao Feng carried the rice as the anger in his heart rose. He pulled Uncle Liu, who was kowtowing nonstop, to stand up. He coldly looked at the few of them, but no matter how he pulled, it was useless.


    "Feng''er, eat quickly, eat quickly, sir, the food was stolen by the old man, if you want to fight or kill, you have to find the old man." Feng''er, eat quickly, eat quickly, sir, the food was stolen by the old man, if you want to fight or kill, you have to find the old man.


    "Let him go? If I let him go, where would my dignity go? Not everyone came to grab food? Didn''t you all rebel? " The soldier sneered at Uncle Liu as if he was looking at an ant. He was cold and disdainful.


    Xiao Feng tightly clenched his fist as the veins in his hand bulged. "Are they still human?" How could there be such a vicious and cruel person in this world? What was the use of having such a vicious heart? However, just as he was about to use the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, he discovered that his body was completely empty.


    "Break their legs for me and cut off that little bastard''s tongue. Let''s see if he dares to eat again in the future!" Amongst the soldiers, one of the captains waved his hand, and four or five soldiers charged at Uncle Liu, pushing him to the ground and beating him with punches and kicks!


    "Feng''er, eat, eat! Don''t worry about me, eat it, Feng''er ¡­" Uncle Liu held his head with both hands, allowing countless fists and kicks to land on his body. His mouth was still shouting Xiao Feng''s name, telling him to hurry up and eat.


    Xiao Feng tightly gripped his bowl as he looked at Uncle Liu howling and rolling in his fists. The fingernail on his right hand was pressed tightly into his palm and a drop of blood dripped onto the ground. His eyes instantly turned incomparably red.


    "Eat, I''ll let you eat!" One of the soldiers laughed loudly. As he punched and kicked Uncle Liu, he kicked the rice bowl in Xiao Feng''s hands. The rice bowl was smashed into pieces. The white rice was instantly covered in yellow ash!


    "You bastards, I''ll fight you to the death!" Seeing that the rice was gone, Uncle Liu''s eyes immediately turned red. He rolled over and forcibly pressed a soldier onto the ground to fight with them!


    However, Uncle Liu had always been an ordinary person. When faced with four or five soldiers with strong bodies and some knowledge of martial arts, he was instantly knocked to the ground. This time, everyone held sticks in their hands and swung them at Uncle Liu''s head!


    "Uncle Liu ¡­" Xiao Feng could no longer suppress the anger in his body and rushed out. Even though he didn''t have any inner strength in his body, he was already familiar with the rich martial arts of punching and kicking. He waved his fist at four or five people and charged forward!


    "Heh, little bastard, you''re courting death!" The captain sneered as he clenched his right hand into a fist and punched Xiao Feng''s face. The strength behind his punch caused Xiao Feng''s pupils to constrict!


    "Feng''er, run! Leave me! Bastard! Bastard! If you have the ability, come at me! Don''t hurt the child!" Uncle Liu roared like a mad beast, but he was unable to break free from the restraints of the three. He could only watch helplessly as Xiao Feng was about to be killed with a single punch!


    "What happened? "What''s wrong?" At the same time, the commotion immediately alarmed everyone in the camp. More than ten soldiers immediately surrounded them, tightly surrounding Xiao Feng and Uncle Liu.


    "Go to hell!" The captain used 80% of his strength in this punch. It had to be known that their strength was not the same as an ordinary person''s. Even if he had just entered the team, he was still sick!


    Xiao Feng''s pupils constricted. The strength of this punch was something that only a martial arts expert would have. Why was it only an ordinary captain in this place?

 C3

    It was too late to think about it. Even though there was not a single strand of inner strength left, Xiao Feng still extended both of his hands and dodged a punch with his Light and Mysterious Wandering Dragon Steps.


    His body went numb for a moment, and the expression on the captain''s face slightly changed. Why was this disease so strange? However, in the next instant, his chest was kicked out by Xiao Feng and he fell heavily onto the ground without being able to get up!


    Although this body was extremely weak and could be said to be completely powerless, he clearly knew who Xiao Feng was. He was worthy of being called one of the top experts in the martial arts world in his previous life.


    "Bastard, kill that old bastard for me!" The captain''s body was still numb. That three fingers of Xiao Feng''s just now was too strange. He still had one last kick. It was clearly weak, but it made him feel a great deal of pain!


    "How dare you!" Xiao Feng''s expression changed. Just as he was about to charge out, Uncle Liu''s miserable voice sounded. He only saw a thick and solid wooden stick fiercely land on Uncle Liu''s leg. There was the crisp sound of bones breaking!


    "Uncle Liu ¡­" Xiao Feng''s bloodshot eyes turned blood-red once more. Uncle Liu was already over seventy years old. How could he withstand such an injury?!


    "Feng''er, quickly leave! Leave me alone! Remember to take revenge for me in the future. Quickly leave ¡­" Uncle Liu was thrown onto the ground, rolling and wailing. His hoarse voice was still yelling at Xiao Feng, tightly hugging a soldier''s thigh.


    "I''m going to kill all of you! All of you, die!" For a moment, a roar sounded in Xiao Feng''s mind. Suddenly, it echoed back to the scene of his parents and clansmen being killed at the Swallow School for no reason. A wave of killing intent that overflowed the heavens swept out!


    "Kill this little bastard!" Two of them ruthlessly stepped on Uncle Liu''s head and spat on Uncle Liu''s body. The other four or five soldiers clamored and once again charged at Xiao Feng. The sharp blades in their hands flashed with a faint cold light!


    He wanted to kill people, he wanted to kill people, he wanted to kill people. This was the only thought in his mind right now was roaring!


    Suddenly, a warm feeling was suddenly transmitted from his chest. A boundless energy that was warm surged out. Different from inner force, this energy was gentle and vast, causing Xiao Feng to feel a sense of comfort!


    However, he was not in the mood to enjoy himself at the moment. The moment this power appeared, his hands suddenly formed a seal, and a complex and quick hand seal was constantly made. At the same time, roaring dragon roars suddenly sounded out from the void!


    "What?" "What is that sound?"


    "Not good, there''s something wrong with this brat. Let''s kill him together!"


    Feeling the shocking strength from the surrounding people, the expressions of the twenty soldiers finally changed. After responding to each other, they all rushed towards Xiao Feng. They knew that once Xiao Feng successfully attacked, they would be in danger!


    Roar... Roar...


    A heaven-shaking, earth-shattering dragon roar resounded throughout the world as it roared in Xiao Feng''s hand. Following eighteen consecutive palm strikes, eighteen divine dragons instantly roared and charged towards the soldiers!


    The divine dragon roared, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws as it charged into the crowd. Wave after wave of explosions erupted as the violent energy sent all the surrounding strong men flying and swallowed all the soldiers inside!


    Moments later, rain suddenly began to fall from the overcast sky. The energy dissipated and the dust that filled the air disappeared under the washing rain, revealing a tragic scene!


    Twenty soldiers were completely destroyed, all of them with severed arms and legs, their blood flowing like rivers in the heavy rain, and the reeking stench of blood in the surroundings.


    "The supervisors are all dead. We''re free, we''re free ¡­" Within the crowd, it was unknown who suddenly shouted, but everyone immediately became restless. In just a few minutes, they had all disappeared from the camp, and no one paid any attention to Xiao Feng and Uncle Liu!


    Xiao Feng''s face was extremely pale. While he was surprised at the power of the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, he had suffered a severe backlash from using the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms. He spat out a mouthful of blood and crawled towards Uncle Liu step by step on the ground!


    Xiao Feng had long since gotten used to this kind of cold weather. Back then, he had been accused of killing his parents, his benefactor, and the innocent scum of the martial arts world. How many people would stand up for him if they killed him, and how many would stand up for him if he did that.


    "Feng''er, Feng''er, how are you?" "Feng''er ¡­" The moment he came into contact with Uncle Liu, Xiao Feng couldn''t hold on any longer and fell down head first. Only Uncle Liu dragged his crippled legs and pulled Xiao Feng into the tent!


    That night, lightning flashed and thunder roared. The torrential downpour continued for an entire night as if it was free. The tattered tent beneath it was of no avail, only allowing the two of them to faint in the wind and rain!


    When Xiao Feng woke up, it was already the second day. The sun after the heavy rain was exceptionally dazzling, the sky was already clear and there were no clouds. When he opened his eyes, he saw Uncle Liu waiting for him with steaming dishes!


    "Feng''er, you''re awake. How are you?" "Where are you feeling uncomfortable ¡­" When Xiao Feng woke up, Uncle Liu hurriedly helped him up and asked anxiously.


    "I''m fine, Uncle Liu ¡­" Xiao Feng''s pale face was devoid of color. After coughing a few times, he replied weakly. Uncle Liu, how are you, your injuries ¡­ "


    "It''s nothing, it''s nothing. Uncle Liu is so old, it''s no big deal. Come, let''s eat something first. These are all the food left over from last night''s storm!"


    Uncle Liu slightly smiled. Using his hands as feet, he propped himself up from the ground and moved back and forth from the nearby kitchen while holding the food. Watching this caused Xiao Feng to feel a wave of discomfort in his heart!


    As Xiao Feng carried the rice mixed with sand in his hand, he felt that the food in his hand was a thousand jin and didn''t have the slightest bit of appetite.


    Puff.


    Suddenly, Uncle Liu spat out a mouthful of blood and his entire body fell backwards. Xiao Feng was startled and hurriedly picked Uncle Liu up and hugged him.


    "Uncle Liu, Uncle Liu, how are you ¡­"


    "Feng''er, Uncle Liu ¡­" Uncle Liu couldn''t take it anymore... Feng''er, listen carefully. Uncle Liu has something to say to you ¡­ " Uncle Liu said to Xiao Feng with half closed eyes, barely breathing.


    "Uncle Liu, you speak, you speak. Feng''er is here, Feng''er listens ¡­" Xiao Feng hugged Uncle Liu and felt extremely sad. Even though he had only known Uncle Liu for only a day, all sorts of past favors were always in the mind of this body. The person in front of him was even more intimate than Xiao Feng''s parents!


    "Feng''er, you''ve grown up. There are some things I can''t hide from you. It''s time to let you know." Uncle Liu took a deep breath and said with a trembling voice.


    "Feng''er, your name is Xiao Feng and your true identity is the legitimate crown prince of the Eastern Liao Kingdom. Thirteen years ago, because of the palace coup, you became like this!"

 C4

    Xiao Feng was startled and looked at Uncle Liu in disbelief. "Uncle Liu, is what you said true?" Although he was a little surprised by what Uncle Liu had said, it was no longer Xiao Feng but Xiao Feng!


    Uncle Liu nodded his head with difficulty, "Eastern Liao Country, it was originally your Xiao Family. When your father Xiao Yang was at the helm of the family, Eastern Liao Country''s weather was smooth sailing and the country was peaceful. It could be said that the world was at peace!"


    "Then why was there a coup d''¨¦tat?" Xiao Feng didn''t understand. If that was the case, then this kind of thing shouldn''t have happened. Could it be that there was something he didn''t know about?


    "All of this is because of Feng''er, your birth!" Saying this, a trace of hatred flashed across Uncle Liu''s eyes. He was biting on each word with great importance, as if it was deeply engraved in his heart!


    "Because when Feng''er was born, a strange phenomenon appeared in the sky. The five colors were very similar, and after he was born, he was born he was born with a sacred pill, directly crossing into the advanced realm, and was born into the Spirit Realm. This kind of genius is known in ancient books as a heavenly dragon, a rarely seen genius in tens of thousands of years!"


    "Sky Dragon? "Genius?" Xiao Feng was slightly shocked. From his memories, he knew that there were no inner force skills in this world. Everyone only had one path, and that was to train and increase their strength.


    Thus, according to the strength of the cultivator, there were people that categorized it into the advanced, spirit, sea and condensed weapons realms. There were even more realms above that, however, they were not something that the previous Xiao Feng knew!


    "And then? "Natural Holy Elixir, why have I been exiled here?" Xiao Feng continued to inquire, as if there was something that he was not aware of!


    "Then, in order to nurture you, your father used more than half of the financial resources of the Eastern Liao Kingdom. From the day you reached the full moon, he gave you the best heaven and earth treasures to build your foundation.


    "However, a man''s wealth is his own fault. Not to mention the fact that the emperor has displeased many ministers by doing this for you, but just with your sacred pills, Feng''er, you''ve been coveted by countless people. You''re up to no good!"


    Thirteen years ago, it just so happened to be the day you were half a year old. Your uncle Xiao Li used despicable means to injure your father and forcefully snatched you away, using the ancient Spirit Extraction Ancient Formation with the help of some mysterious people. With you as the core, he forcefully took away your core.


    Suddenly, Xiao Feng''s eyes became serious as a vicious light flashed across them. "That''s why I''ve been sick ever since. I''ve never been able to recover from my illness and have completely become a cripple!"


    Your father, seeing how miserable you are, has completely fallen into a crazed state. With just the strength of one person, he flipped the entire Eastern Liao Kingdom upside down, and fought with your uncle for three days and three nights. However, in the end, because of the other party''s overwhelming numbers, he was severely injured, and was caught red-handed!


    Uncle Liu''s originally weak body trembled slightly. His eyes gradually became bloodshot as he looked at Xiao Feng with an incomparably sorrowful expression!


    Your eldest uncle Xiao Li naturally took over the throne. A year later, his son, Xiao Long, was born under the orders of the Heavenly Dragon!


    Saying this, Uncle Liu''s eyes flashed with a trace of anger. The scenes that happened all those years ago seemed to have occurred yesterday. He clenched his fist and smashed the ground, his gloomy gaze sinking down.


    "How can the life of a dragon appear so easily? As long as one has the brains, one would know how his son got his hands on it!"


    "It came from my Holy Elixir!" Xiao Feng calmed his emotions. Was the life of a dragon really that important? He did not have any sense of belonging towards the Heavenly Dragon Holy Elixir, but now that such a tragic event had happened to him, no matter how heroic he was, he could not help but feel angry in his heart!


    "Sigh, so what if we know? Because of you, your father caused the strength of the Eastern Liao Kingdom to decline, and after Xiao Li ascended for a year, he managed the Eastern Liao Kingdom to become prosperous like a thunderbolt. The strength of the country did not lose out to his father''s, even if the people lived in peace and happiness, even if they knew, who would say anything?"


    Uncle Liu sighed lightly. His aura became even weaker as blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth once again. He had lost a lot of his breath and a look of hatred appeared on his face!


    "Since Eastern Liao Kingdom is peaceful and the people live and work happily, so what if I, Xiao Feng, don''t want this throne? As long as the people can live a good life, what difference does it make who is the emperor? "


    Even though Xiao Feng was angry, he knew clearly in his heart that private hatred and official business could not be confused. In his previous life, he had committed suicide to save the lives of tens of thousands of people.


    "Feng''er, if you want to say this, then it shows that you''re a kind and kind person. Taking the people first is the most basic and most important point of an emperor!"


    Uncle Liu nodded his head in gratification. In the end, the crown prince did not let him down and after pondering for a while, he continued speaking.


    "But even if you don''t want the throne, there are still people who want to quickly kill you. Do you know why we came to this vast land? It is because your uncle wants to kill you, but is unable to do so. That is why he arranged for us to be exiled to this wasteland, to be trampled upon by others, and to have to work so hard until we die! "


    "And your father, after becoming the Emperor of the Eastern Divine Kingdom, was heavily injured after the war and was captured by them. From then on, there has been no news of him.


    "Father?" Xiao Feng was startled and suddenly thought back to the scene he saw before he transmigrated over. Could it be that the person imprisoned in that strange and sinister place was really his father?


    Xiao Feng''s expression couldn''t help but darken when he thought of this, because if that person was really his father, then the suffering he had suffered was simply worse than death. He had personally witnessed it!


    "Who are those mysterious people?" Compared to his hatred for Xiao Li, Xiao Feng was aware of an even more serious problem. A person who could use the ancient formation was definitely not a simple person!


    Moreover, in his dreams, it seemed that the place where his father was imprisoned, the chained chains also flashed with different mysterious symbols. If that was the case, then it must be related to that so-called mysterious person!


    "We also do not know who the mysterious person is. Other than Xiao Li, no one knows who he is. The only thing he can be certain of is that his skill with the spell formation is incredible! "


    "Uncle Liu, don''t say anything. Rest for a while. You''ll be fine. Take care of your body first!" Xiao Feng hugged Uncle Liu even more tightly as he consoled the dying Uncle Liu.


    "Feng''er, from last night, you are the real fate of the Sky Dragon. Even without the Holy Pellet, you can still change your fate and become a supreme expert.


    Also, five months from now, the Eastern Liao Kingdom will hold its five-year national war, and at that time, everyone with some power from the Eastern Liao Kingdom will head there. Remember, you must go participate in the national battle, win the war, and then you will have the chance to save your father!


    The things that happened here will quickly spread to the Eastern Liao Kingdom. You must leave this place as soon as possible. Remember, even if it''s not for the throne, you must save the emperor. Because you... Yes... Heavens... Heavenly Dragon''s Mandate! "


    Uncle Liu struggled, his eyes bulging with all of his strength. Finally, he said his last sentence and completely stopped breathing, leaving Xiao Feng to quietly hug Uncle Liu.

 C5

    Xiao Feng, who had experienced the vicissitudes of life, did not feel much grief or joy after having experienced two lifetimes. After burying Uncle Liu, he respectfully kowtowed a few times, then dragged his injured body along with him and left this place at any time!


    It had to be said that this body caused Xiao Feng to be speechless. How could this be considered the life of a heavenly dragon? Was there such a pitiful dragon? It was fine that his dantian was destroyed, but what was wrong with him if he was so weak that he could almost blow away the wind?


    His tired body swayed like a piece of paper. Xiao Feng walked for an unknown amount of time before he fell face first onto the ground in a forest deep in the mountains, unconscious!


    After he fainted, a dense light slowly bloomed from his chest, enveloping his entire body like a giant egg. It was extremely mysterious!


    The next morning, when Xiao Feng woke up, he found that all the wounds on his body had miraculously healed. There wasn''t even a scar left behind. The internal injuries caused by the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms had all healed!


    Gulu. Right now, all he had was hunger. He was extremely hungry, so hungry that he could eat a whole cow. "Now, if only I had 10 catties of liquor and a few catties of stewed beef, that would be great!"


    Even though he thought about it, he still found a lot of unknown fruits deep in the mountains. Whether they were poisonous or not, he still ate them all at once. Only then did he feel something!


    "How did my injury heal?" After Xiao Feng had eaten his fill, he naturally focused his rest energy on his injuries. If he lost it in his previous life, even if he had strong inner force, he wouldn''t be able to heal his wounds without being able to circulate it.


    "What is it? "Is that strange?" Suddenly, an ethereal voice rang in his ears. Xiao Feng was startled and quickly looked around in search of the source of the voice!


    "Who are you?" Why don''t you come out and hide yourself, what kind of hero are you?! "


    "Hahaha, I''m not a hero or anything. Besides, I''m still with you, so how am I supposed to come out?" The mysterious voice sounded once again, causing Xiao Feng''s eyes to narrow!


    On himself?


    "There''s no need to look for me. You''ll see me once you take off your clothes!" Xiao Feng followed the instructions of the voice and slowly took off his tattered clothes, revealing a skinny body!


    "What''s going on? Why did it change? " The instant he took off his clothes, Xiao Feng didn''t have time to care about how bad his body was. This was because when he pulled out his chest, the symbol of a Qi Dan person, the wolf head, had actually changed into a ferocious and tyrannical tattoo of a dragon head!


    "Are you talking?" Xiao Feng probed.


    "That''s right, it''s me!" To his surprise, the dragon''s mouth opened and closed as if it were alive.


    "What the hell are you? Don''t try to be mysterious. Show your true body if you can!" Xiao Feng was extremely shocked as he shouted in a low voice.


    "I''m not a thing. I''m the dragon spirit that brought you here!" The mysterious dragon head opened and closed its mouth, spitting out human words. His words caused Xiao Feng to freeze!


    "You don''t have to be surprised. You came here because you are a seed, a new master chosen by the ''Dragon Guiding Law''. Your life is destined to be extraordinary!"


    "Dragon Drawing Arts?" Where does the will of the heavens belong to? "


    "All of this came from the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms that you practiced. The Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms is not called the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms. Its real name is the ''Tactics of the Dragon''!"


    "Dragon Drawing Arts?" The Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms is called the Dragon Summoning Art? " Xiao Feng was shocked. He was proud of his famous ultimate skill, which was known throughout the world. It was actually not called the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms!


    "That''s right. The Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms are just a few moves that the people of Earth have learned since they landed on Earth. That''s why it is called the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms!"


    "Then what kind of martial arts is the Dragon Guiding Art?" What''s the use? What does it have to do with me coming here? " The more Xiao Feng heard, the more incredulous he felt. This was simply beyond his comprehension!


    "The ? Dragon Guiding Art ? is the one and only cultivation technique in the universe, the number one cultivation technique in ten thousand worlds. Because Earth''s spirit energy is limited, it''s already good enough that I can cultivate to the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms. It''s precisely because of these eighteen palms that I was awakened from my slumber!"


    "The number one cultivation technique in ten thousand worlds, what is that?" Why did you bring me here? What is the relationship between me and the ? Dragon Guiding Secret Art ?? " Xiao Feng and the other monks were at a loss. The more they heard, the more confused they became.


    The dragon head pondered for a moment, then continued, "You do not need to know the specifics, knowing too much will only harm you, you only need to know, you are the person selected by the ? Dragon Guiding Art ?, you have your own mission to complete, I will not harm you, and you will know!"


    Countless thoughts flashed through Xiao Feng''s mind, but he still couldn''t think of anything special. He then asked, "How can I trust you?"


    "Believe me, isn''t the injury on your body the best proof?" Long Ling chuckled as she teased Xiao Feng. The wounds on Xiao Feng''s body were healed at a great price.


    Xiao Feng nodded his head. This was indeed the case, because here, other than this so-called dragon spirit, he couldn''t find anything else special.


    "Then what should I do now? With this body, what can we do? " He wasn''t a conflicted person. Since the other party had said so, there was no reason for him to save him if he wanted to harm him based on his abilities. Furthermore, he had already accepted Transcending, so why wouldn''t an unknown mysterious existence accept it?


    But according to his current condition, it was enough to give him a headache. Not to mention the fact that there was not a single drop of internal energy left in his previous life, even this fragile body could not withstand his internal energy!


    Even though he did not have the intention to fight for the throne, it did not mean that others did not have the intention. There would always be someone who wanted to kill him; furthermore, he still had to look for his father who was suffering!

 C6

    Helplessly letting out a sigh, Xiao Feng was unable to make the best of things. However, after letting out a sigh, Long Ling''s hearty laughter rang out again.


    "You brat, you might not know your fortune while you''re still alive, but with this body, how many people in this world wouldn''t be able to obtain it even if they dreamed of it? You''re still sighing!"


    These words couldn''t help but cause Xiao Feng to pout. "Are you sure you''re not joking?" How could someone want this body even in their dreams?


    "Your Uncle Liu told you that your fate is that of a Celestial Dragon. In fact, that is the best thing about your body. The Holy Elixir is just a support that comes along with the birth of a Celestial Dragon. Even if it doesn''t, it doesn''t have much of an impact!"


    Long Ling said faintly, "You and the original Xiao Feng were originally of the same sex. Because of this, you are a set of luck in heaven and earth, able to become famous in the martial arts world. He is a set of dark clouds, a set of misfortune, so he was born with difficulties and died a premature death!"


    Xiao Feng quietly listened to Long Ling''s words because he felt that his body seemed to tremble slightly after Long Ling said those words, as if she was responding to Long Ling''s words.


    "That''s why all of you are part of the true Heavenly Dragon''s life right now. Because the sacred pill was taken away, it caused him to become a useless firewood body for more than ten years. That is how you obtained your current destiny!"


    "Oh? What do you mean? Is there anything else unusual about his body? " As if he understood the meaning behind Long Ling''s words, Xiao Feng asked softly.


    "That''s right. The ''Dragon Guiding Technique'' emphasizes drawing dragon qi into the body, tempering the body, and transforming it into a dragon. It has nothing much to do with the cultivation of the so-called spirit energy in the dantian!" On the contrary, in the initial stages, if you had a dantian, it would create more obstacles in your cultivation! "


    "What you mean is, I don''t need my Dantian to cultivate it?" This time, it was Xiao Feng''s turn to be shocked. No matter how deep a person''s martial arts cultivation was in his previous life, it would not be possible to not use his own Dantian, let alone his current cultivation world!


    "That''s right, because your body is too weak right now. You have to hurry up and increase the strength of your body, then you''ll know if what I said is true or false?"


    After Long Ling said this, she completely sunk into silence. No matter how Xiao Feng inquired, there was no movement. Since Long Ling didn''t say anything, it must have its own intentions!


    As an expert in his previous life, he knew some simple body tempering methods, not to mention others. After all, the first lesson in martial arts was body tempering!


    Starting from the most basic horse riding stance, he didn''t know if he should learn it or not, but this practice left him speechless. This physical fitness of his was even worse than what he had imagined, sticking out his chest, retracting his abdomen, becoming one with his back, and such a simple movement, he wouldn''t even last a minute.


    Helplessly shaking his head, Xiao Feng could only gradually begin. He randomly built a tree trunk in the middle of the mountain and used it as a resting area. Every day, he would forget to eat and sleep; he would cultivate day and night!


    Gradually, from the first minute, it changed to two minutes. Five minutes, his endurance gradually increased. However, what he got instead was a feeling of weakness and dizziness!


    In the blink of an eye, ten days had passed. Xiao Feng had already gone from a minute to the present two hours without any signs of wavering. His originally pale and tender face had already darkened from being exposed to the sun and rain all day long. He looked much stronger than before!


    During these ten days, the dragon spirit didn''t appear, allowing Xiao Feng to refine his own body. Seeing his character, Xiao Feng silently nodded his head!


    "Child, you have to get stronger as soon as possible, because we don''t have much time left ¡­"


    Half a month later, Xiao Feng was already able to endure for four hours. He tightly clenched his fist, which was many times stronger than before. His face, which was covered in sweat, revealed a simple and honest smile!


    "Next, I''ll need to go to the waterfall at the back to further enhance my strength!" A few days ago, because he was tired of eating the dew fruits in the surroundings, he found a small waterfall nearby. Although it was only 20 meters tall, the water flow was abnormally fast, which was very suitable for his second step of body forging!


    The first time he entered the waterfall, before he even reached the bottom, he was knocked back by the terrifying shockwave. It was difficult to get close to the waterfall, but he still swam towards the waterfall again and again!


    A terrifying waterfall crashed onto his body, as if it were a hammer pounding on his body. His organs felt as if they were being crushed, and he couldn''t last a second longer as he was sent flying far away, crashing into the surrounding mountains, the blood in his body tumbling!


    "I don''t believe I can''t do it!" Relying on the stubbornness in his bones, Xiao Feng was finally able to endure under the waterfall for three breaths of time after trying countless times to be blown away and thrown to the ground!


    Ha, ha, a few days later, a skinny figure stood under the huge waterfall, letting the torrential water fall down onto him. He stood firmly without moving, and instead, took a horse stance, waving his fists and kicks against the great power!


    "Un, not bad. You have improved greatly!" Suddenly, Long Ling''s ethereal voice was heard. Her voice was filled with satisfaction and gratification towards Xiao Feng.


    "Senior, you''re finally out!" A dazzling light suddenly lit up on Xiao Feng''s chest. A boundless fluctuation rippled out and a mini dragon that emitted multicolored light appeared in front of him!


    "Mm, I''ll help you complete the next third step of body refinement!" Long Ling spoke in human language. When combined with her mini figure and dense divine light, she gave off a kind of adorable feeling!


    "How do I complete the third step ¡­" Before Xiao Feng could finish his sentence, a wooden pole that was as thick as an arm floated up automatically and struck at his chest!


    Xiao Feng felt pain in his chest. He raised his head and looked at the wooden stick in confusion. What was going on? Then, his pupils dilated and the second staff was sent flying!


    He saw Xiao Feng clenching his teeth and clenching his teeth. No matter how painful it was, he would not let out a single sound no matter how big the sweat drop on his forehead was.


    Gradually, he felt all the muscles in his body go numb. The green, black, and purple colors covered his entire body. Under the merciless staff, he had completely lost consciousness. His eyes had already turned red from enduring the pain!


    From the thickness of his arm to the size of a bowl, and finally to the size of his calf, the wooden sticks broke on his body again and again. The muscles on Xiao Feng''s body were also destroyed by the hammering and tempering.

 C7

    Kacha. When Xiao Feng exerted a little strength, the rod that was like a thigh suddenly broke, and only a patch of red appeared on his body before disappearing. Xiao Feng tightly clenched his fist, the feeling of full strength made him happy!


    "Next, it''s time for you to truly step into the realm of the ''Dragon Drawing Arts''!" It was unknown when Long Ling had appeared behind Xiao Feng, but the only thing that could be seen was his appearance as a multicolored light enveloped Xiao Feng!


    "This is an inner force skill that you cultivated for your entire life in your previous life. Before, your body was too weak to withstand it. Now, I''ll return it all to you!" Xiao Feng only felt a familiar energy slowly flow into his body like a stream of water. The cells in his entire body began to boil at this moment!


    "You spent a lifetime''s worth of effort practicing the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, so the vigorous internal energy brought about by it can''t even be considered to be at the Spiritual Energy level in this world. That''s why I helped you compress your internal energy.


    As Xiao Feng felt the pure inner strength that filled his body, a heroic aura was suddenly released. The Xiao Feng that could shake the martial world had returned!


    "Then my current strength should be able to reach the middle level of the Nascent Profound Realm, right?" Xiao Feng had a certain level of understanding towards the division of power in this world. According to his current Spiritual Energy, he could be considered to be in the middle level of the Minute Subtlety!


    "He should be at the pinnacle of the intermediate stage, half-step into the advanced stage!" Long Ling nodded her head indifferently, "Within the Myriad Realms, there is the most powerful and mysterious Divine Dragon World. The Dragon Guiding Secret Art is the key to the Divine Dragon World.


    "You originally wanted to choose your own master for the Dragon Drawing Arts. Circulating the Dragon Drawing Arts and communicating with the Divine Dragon World, remember that right now you can only channel the low-level Divine Dragon Qi. Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable!"


    "Activate the dragon aura?" A bright light flashed in Xiao Feng''s eyes. He didn''t expect that the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, which he had practiced for his entire life, would actually have such a miraculous side to it.


    He formed a seal with his hands, circulating the skill according to the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms in his memory. Accompanied by the sound of dragon roars, it was as if they solidified around his body!


    Streams of illusory, dragon-shaped air currents continuously spiraled upwards. Xiao Feng was positioned in the center like a monk, and was like the king of all dragons as he used his weak consciousness to communicate with the illusory realm of the divine dragon!


    Hymn... Roar ¡­


    Within the void of his consciousness, Xiao Feng turned his consciousness into a wisp of golden light and stabbed it into a weak point of light. A deafening, earsplitting dragon roar suddenly exploded in his ears, causing his consciousness to collapse and almost be blown out of the Divine Dragon Realm!


    Roar Roar Roar


    In front of him was a vast and endless mysterious space filled with white mist. Countless illusory divine dragons shuttled back and forth within it. Every single one of them radiated a terrifying power that could destroy the heavens and earth!


    "So this is the true Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms. This is the true Divine Dragon Realm!" Xiao Feng swallowed a mouthful of saliva as his heart was in turmoil. He didn''t expect his famous ultimate skill, the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, to be able to shake the martial arts world, to be only one in a million!


    Hu. A jade-green light flashed before Xiao Feng''s eyes. The Divine Dragon Clear Roar, whose entire body was burning with jade-green flames, let out a loud cry. The scorching heat almost evaporated Xiao Feng''s consciousness!


    Cyan Flame Profound Dragon, specialized in the way of fire, and combined annihilation and rebirth as one. Azure flames could be destroyed or healed, and it was a dual path of fire, an intermediate level divine dragon!


    The information about this divine dragon suddenly appeared in Xiao Feng''s mind. It was from the Dragon Drawing Arts. It was a detailed record of the various divine dragons!


    The Mad Wind Prison Dragon mainly cultivates the power of thunder and lightning. It''s entire body was entangled with lightning and it wielded a violent destructive power that could destroy illusions. It was one of the most masculine and tyrannical creatures in the world, an intermediate level divine dragon!


    The Amethyst Demon Dragon, a Demon Dragon evolved from the ancient dire beast, the Demonic Winged Devil Snake. Its demonic aura roiled, its demonic might overflowed into the heavens, and it was sinister and sinister.


    What was recorded in the Dragon Guiding Art and what he had seen with his own eyes deeply shocked his heart. A low level divine dragon, middle level divine dragon, possessing such destructive might meant that the high level divine dragon and the Creation Dragon Group recorded therein were extremely powerful!


    He believed that even a low-level dragon would not be able to withstand a dragon''s roar when compared to a Spirit Realm or even a Sea Opening Realm cultivator, let alone a Spirit Realm cultivator.


    Xiao Feng was stunned as he looked at the Divine Dragon World. Divine dragons soared in the sky with multicolored lights. It was such a beautiful and harmonious world. There were countless Divine Dragons just like the people of the continent.


    After understanding the Divine Dragon World, Xiao Feng finally found a few low-level Divine Dragons that were suitable for him to use now. Each Divine Dragon had their own strengths, causing him to be somewhat conflicted!


    He wouldn''t choose the Amethyst Demon Dragon for the time being because the abilities it possessed wasn''t what he needed the most right now. Among them, the coiling dragon, cloud dragon and azure dragon were his three favorite!


    The coiling dragon could bestow a great deal of talent and abilities to one''s talisman inscriptions. To be able to enhance one''s overall strength was a completely different cultivation path from martial arts!


    The Cloud Dragon was adept at cloud speed, spitting out mist and flying away was only a matter of time. Although he could not reach such a level even if he did trigger it, it was more practical to assist him!


    Although he was a low level divine dragon, his strength was almost comparable to that of some middle level divine dragons. This was because the azure dragon specialized in the arts of the body, and it could strengthen the body. At its peak, it could be invulnerable to Earth Grade Spiritual Weapons!


    After much hesitation, Xiao Feng finally fixed his gaze on the Azure Dragon. The most important part of any matter was one''s foundation. After one''s foundation was built, they could go even further and fly even higher! On the path of cultivation, the most fundamental factor was the strength of one''s physical body!


    After making his decision, Xiao Feng sat cross-legged in the Divine Dragon World and circulated the Dragon Drawing Arts. Mysterious and vast fluctuations of nothingness slowly formed in his head, turning into a thought that floated towards the Azure Dragon''s Qi!


    A clear and crisp sound rang out. Without any obstruction, the consciousness fused into the huge dragon head of the Azure Dragon. Its originally somewhat empty eyes suddenly emitted a bright light as it stared at Xiao Feng!


    "Dragon Drawing Arts. Dragon Realm divine dragon, enter your body. Listen to my commands. Integrate the Dragon''s might into my body!" Xiao Feng''s hands quickly formed complex hand seals as they blended into the air. He then muttered to himself!


    Roar Roar Roar


    Following the release of the radiance from the seal, the Azure Dragon seemed to have received an order. Its originally arrogant head lowered and let out an earth-shattering dragon roar. It soared into the sky, transforming into a boundless dragon aura and charged into the top of Xiao Feng''s head!

 C8

    In the outside world, the instant the Azure Dragon entered his body, Xiao Feng, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly trembled. A desolate ancient aura faintly fluctuated from his body, and the veins on the surface of his skin began to wriggle wildly like horned dragons.


    After the azure dragon transformed into dragon aura and entered his body, it fused into Xiao Feng''s limbs and bones. The muscles and cells in his body were like stimulants as they frantically absorbed the great tonic. Crackling sounds continuously sounded out from his body!


    "Good boy, you have good eyes. You actually chose the Azure Dragon as your first Life Divine Dragon. You truly have foresight!" Nearby, Long Ling nodded slightly. A trace of a smile seemed to have appeared on her expressionless face!


    At this moment, Xiao Feng felt as though his entire body was like a surging river. The dragon aura crazily and ruthlessly assaulted his body. The piercing pain caused his face to contort!


    The Azure Dragon was too frightening. With Xiao Feng''s current body. He was unable to completely absorb the dragon aura. His inch-by-inch body was destroyed by the dragon aura, reborn, and then was torn apart in a cycle. Even his tough and unyielding body couldn''t help but let out a wail!


    Forcefully enduring the pain, Xiao Feng bit down on his tongue, trying to keep his unconscious self awake. He forcefully accelerated the circulation of the Dragon Guiding Art, merging the surging dragon Qi into his flesh!


    Gradually, a day''s worth of time had passed. Xiao Feng''s pale face finally had a hint of redness; the blood that flowed out from the corner of his mouth had already solidified due to him clenching his teeth!


    Suddenly, with his eyes closed, he opened them. A light flashed across his eyes, and with a casual punch, the surrounding air exploded. This was a casual punch that actually caused the air to explode.


    What a powerful Azure Dragon! What a terrifying Dragon Qi! What a miraculous Dragon Drawing Arts!" Xiao Feng couldn''t help but sigh at the miraculous ability of the Dragon Guiding Art. Although he had activated the Azure Dragon''s power to enter his body, he had only absorbed a quarter of the dragon''s power and already possessed such a terrifying power!


    "He''s probably at the equivalent of the middle stage of the Spirit Realm now!" The miraculous thing about the Dragon Drawing Arts was that although it didn''t require a lot of spiritual energy to cultivate, it could be used to extract spiritual energy from one''s body. Furthermore, its power was not something that ordinary spiritual energy could compare with!


    "Senior, thank you so much!" Xiao Feng cupped his fists to express his thanks to the nearby Long Ling. Previously, he had only chosen to believe it because he wanted to try it out. But now, he completely believed in Long Ling!


    "There''s no need to call me senior. Just call me Long Ling from now on!" Long Ling faintly spat out a few words before turning into a cloud and disappearing into Xiao Feng''s chest!


    If that''s the case, then we have to find a way out. After stalling for over a month, the Eastern Liao Kingdom''s national war is only about four months away, and we do not know how far away we are from the Eastern Liao Kingdom!


    Xiao Feng thought about it in his heart and recalled what Uncle Liu had told him before he died. Even though he didn''t have the mood to care about the Eastern Liao Kingdom''s Imperial Family War, this matter still involved his father, his father in this world!


    After stepping into the depths of the forest, Xiao Feng didn''t have any sense of direction as he walked further and further away. He wandered around randomly and didn''t even leave the forest for an entire five days!


    "What should we do?" Xiao Feng sat on top of a big tree with a bitter face. This forest was too dense and tall. Even the sun could only shine on the stars. It was impossible to distinguish directions like this!


    Bang! Bang! Bang! Suddenly, Xiao Feng, who was sitting on the tree, narrowed his eyes. A strong wave of Spiritual Energy came from nearby. Although he had little Spiritual Energy absorption, his sensitivity towards Spiritual Energy had increased by quite a bit!


    "Such powerful strength!" Xiao Feng thought to himself in his heart. This fluctuation was definitely caused by an expert of the Weapon Condensation Realm or even higher!


    As he spoke, he jumped up and flew in the direction of the fight. This was the only way he could get out. He quickly stopped on top of a tall tree and looked at the empty ground not far away.


    A white robed old man stood on the ground with his hands behind his back. His long beard fluttered without wind, and he casually stood there like a sharp sword. A hidden but unconcealable sharp aura shot into the sky!


    In front of him was a brown python coiled around a tree. Its body was as thick as a person''s thigh, and it was five meters long.


    Ding! A crisp sound rang out. The elder waved his hand and a resplendent sword light appeared out of nowhere. It slashed down towards the python, and the python let out a hissing sound.


    Hisssssss! The python''s vertical pupils were suffused with a ghostly light, and its massive tail was wrapped in dark green light. It swept out like a pillar, colliding with the sword light!


    "He''s even more powerful than a warrior in the middle of condensing weapons!" Xiao Feng was quite shocked. To put it simply, the Condensing Weapon Realm was able to condense one''s own life spirit weapon within one''s body. Its power would continuously increase along with one''s own strength!


    From the old man''s casual display of strength and his unstoppable momentum, it was clear that he was a powerful sword cultivator. As for that giant python, it was also a Class 3 Magical Beast, equivalent to the strength of a Warrior Condensation expert!


    Dazzling rays of light and an inky green color were released at the first touch. A wave of extraordinary spirit energy swept over, causing sand and rocks to fly in the surroundings. Even the huge trees rustled, and a ripple even appeared in the air!


    "Evil creature, die!" Suddenly, the old man within the sandstorm roared loudly, his vigorous and powerful voice resounding with power. At the same time, an incomparably sharp aura suddenly erupted from within!


    Shua, shua, shua. Dazzling rays of light constantly minced the spirit energy shards. A long streak of light pierced through the air and the three-foot-long sword in the old man''s hand bloomed with light. The light was as thin as a cicada''s wing, but incomparably sharp, and it transformed into an afterimage as it stabbed at the giant python!


    The giant python flicked its tongue and a thick poisonous fog gushed out from its sharp fangs. It instantly filled the entire space and the pungent stench of the poison made Xiao Feng''s expression change!


    Although the strength of this beast was not strong, the poison mist was extremely poisonous. Although it had taken the pill in advance, it was still not to be underestimated. Moreover, it was as thick as water.


    "Clear Wind Sword!" The old man''s deep voice sounded as the sword in his hand let out a clear chant. It then spun in his hand, transforming into an illusory sword shadow. It turned into a sword ring that pierced through the poisonous fog!

 C9

    The giant python''s pupils flickered with a dark light. The icy cold blood''s aura was fierce and cruel. Its huge body swayed as it hid itself in the poisonous mist!


    "Not good, danger!" Xiao Feng''s expression changed again. Although the poisonous fog could obstruct one''s line of sight, the audience could clearly see that the giant python had already used the poisonous fog to quickly approach the old man, preparing to launch a fatal attack!


    Without time to think, Xiao Feng stomped his feet and flew out. The Azure Dragon Qi in his body circulated as the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms shot out like flowing water!


    Roar, roar, roar. A deafening dragon roar resounded through the air. Eighteen illusory dragon shadows surrounded his body as they roared out. With such a magical beast, he had no choice but to restrain himself as the dragon''s might filled the air.


    The giant python approached the old man, its huge fangs covered in a layer of dark green poisonous fog. As long as the poisonous fog bit the old man and stuck onto him, even immortal pills and elixirs would not be able to save it!


    However, at this moment, a bloodline fear suddenly descended upon them. Its body began to tremble, and an ear-splitting dragon roar suppressed its way into the poisonous fog, violently crashing into the giant python''s body!


    A mere giant python, it couldn''t even be considered a high level magical beast. Under the oppression of the true divine dragon''s dragon might, it didn''t even have the slightest intention of resisting, allowing the divine dragon to land on its body under its fearful gaze!


    Boom! The dragon''s aura surged with a terrifying aura. The current Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms were not able to deal much damage to this rough and thick giant python. It could not even break through its defense!


    However, it was because of this bloodline pressure that caused the python to tremble. He was a low-level demon beast; even his spiritual wisdom had just been born, so he naturally couldn''t resist!


    At this moment, the draconic aura dispersed the poisonous fog by a large margin. The old man also reacted immediately. When he saw the python not too far away from him, his eyes flashed with a fierce light!


    Puchi. The long sword in his hand pierced through the python''s body without any resistance. The python let out a loud hiss as it suffered a fatal injury.


    Very quickly, the python that was heavily injured under the suppression of the dragon''s might fell to the ground and stopped breathing after a few strikes from the old man, turning into a cold corpse. Not far away, the old man held his sword, blood dripping from the tip of his sword.


    Swoosh swoosh swoosh. Under Xiao Feng''s shocked gaze, the sword in the elder''s hand swiftly slashed back and forth on the giant python. The defense that even the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms couldn''t break through was as thin as paper in his hand, without any resistance!


    Xiao Feng rubbed his slightly numb wrist. This animal''s skin was really rough and thick. Very soon, a dark green snake gall that emitted a pungent stench was held in the old man''s hand!


    "Little brother, thank you for taking action just now. May I ask how should I address you?" The elder withdrew his snake gall and the sword in his hand turned into specks of starlight that disappeared. He then turned around and cupped his fist toward Xiao Feng as he spoke.


    "I dare not, dare not! Junior Xiao Feng greets senior!" This junior has acted rashly, offending senior. Please forgive me, senior! " Xiao Feng hurriedly cupped his fists in return and replied in a neither humble nor haughty manner.


    "Hahaha, this old man is Liang Ren. Little brother, you are still young and your skills are extraordinary. You must be a dragon amongst men!" Liang Ren laughed loudly and nodded at Xiao Feng, his eyes full of praise.


    "Senior must be joking. How can this junior''s kung fu be compared with senior''s? I truly do not dare to say so!" Xiao Feng also slightly relaxed. This Liang Ren did not look like a despicable person!


    "I wonder why senior is fighting with this beast here?" Xiao Feng looked at the python on the ground and suddenly had an idea. He clasped his hands and said to Liang Ren.


    Sigh, to be honest, this old man is the Grand Elder of the Cloud Returning Sword Sect. Not long ago, a few disciples of my sect went out to train because they didn''t listen to orders, but they were poisoned by this Raging Python. The only antidote is this bastard''s snake gall!


    Speaking of his disciples, Liang Ren shook his head in disappointment and sighed. "In order to save them, I''ve come here to look for the antidote!"


    Xiao Feng nodded. In his heart, he felt a sense of respect towards Liang Ren. To be able to risk his life alone for his disciple, it was rare to see a master like this. It could be seen that Liang Ren was a pretty good teacher!


    Soon after, the two of them continued to chat for a short while. When they found out that Xiao Feng was lonely and had gotten lost in this place, they immediately loved him and wanted to take him in as a disciple!


    "This old man is overestimating himself and wants to take you in as my disciple. I wonder what you think?" He was a frank person and wouldn''t beat around the bush. He directly told Xiao Feng about the thoughts in his heart!


    Xiao Feng was also shocked by his straightforwardness, but he still inwardly acknowledged Liang Ren. This kind of person, why couldn''t he be his own master!


    Besides, he was alone and the world was big. He knew who his enemies were and what he needed to do, but with his current condition, it was nothing more than a fantasy!


    "Thank you for your kind intentions, senior. I was just worrying about where I could take care of myself. Since that is the case, I will enter senior''s tutelage. Disciple Xiao Feng greets master!"


    After considering it over and over again, Xiao Feng chose to enter under Liang Ren''s tutelage and join the Cloud Returning Sword Sect. This was his best option right now and even though he had Long Ling, a mysterious existence, to help him, he was still unable to provide any substantial help!


    "Good, good, good. I didn''t expect that this old man, who was half-buried, would actually be able to receive such a heaven warping genius disciple. Good, this trip is worth it!"


    Liang Ren gave three hearty laughs as he stroked his long beard. He was so excited that he looked like an old child. The anger he had inside his heart from the trouble his unfilial disciples had caused immediately vanished like smoke in thin air.


    After the ceremony, Liang Ren happily patted Xiao Feng''s shoulder. This disciple, no matter how he looked at him, was pleasing to the eye. He hurriedly helped Xiao Feng up.


    "Feng''er, from now on, you are a disciple of my Cloud Returning Sword Sect. I, Liang Ren''s, final disciple, don''t have much to give you. There''s a storage ring here, you can take it!"


    Liang Ren finally fished out a mini ring from an unknown corner and handed it to Xiao Feng as he said this.


    "Storage ring?" Xiao Feng was a little doubtful. There didn''t seem to be any information about this within the memories of this body. What was it?


    "That''s right, a storage ring is a type of item that can be used to carry things around. Don''t look at it; it''s only the size of a finger. There''s about ten cubes of space in it. It''s enough for you to store some things!"


    Liang Ren laughed as he explained to Xiao Feng. Xiao Feng being unaware was nothing strange. The value of this kind of thing was not inferior to some miraculous elixirs. Even in the Cloud Returning Sword Sect, it was only a single palm!


    Xiao Feng nodded his head. No wonder he didn''t have any memories, it was likely that even in the Eastern Liao Kingdom, there weren''t many treasures like this. Moreover, it was normal for Xiao Feng to not know about this since he had left his hometown from a young age.

 C10

    "Master, you''ve already taken the Violent Python''s gall. Do you still want this corpse?" After Xiao Feng recognized the owner of the storage ring with his spiritual will, his gaze fell on the Raging Python!


    Liang Ren glanced at Xiao Feng in shock. "Although this beast is only a rank 3 Magic Beast, its poison is extremely powerful. Normal people rarely dare to touch it, and even I don''t dare to easily hit it. What are you trying to do?"


    He was secretly surprised in his heart, but at the same time, he was a little excited. He had indeed taken in a different disciple, so any thought was different from others.


    "Disciple indeed has some ideas. Since master doesn''t want them, why not give them to me!" Xiao Feng laughed mischievously. Although this fellow was poisonous, when facing the Azure Dragon, how big of a wave could it be? The treasure in his body could not be wasted!


    Liang Ren looked at Xiao Feng in confusion. After saying a few words of warning, Xiao Feng kept the corpse into his storage ring.


    After he was done, the master and disciple duo set off on their way out. Along the way, Xiao Feng learned from Liang Ren that this was the extreme northwest region of Eastern Liao Country. It was an incomparably desolate and remote area!


    As for the Cloud Returning Sword Sect, they were one of the four great sects in the Eastern Liao Kingdom. Their overall strength was extremely tyrannical, and their sect master had even surpassed the Weapon Condensation Realm. They were one of the few spirit raising experts in the entire Eastern Liao Kingdom!


    "There''s still less than four months until the Eastern Liao Kingdom Battle. If it wasn''t for the fact that among the poisoned disciples there was a seeded participant in the competition, this old man would not have needed to take the risk to come to this place. Of course, I would not have met you here!"


    Liang Ren sighed. As he spoke of his disciples, he felt a wave of anger. His cultivation was mediocre and his ability to cause trouble was first-rate, but when he finished speaking of taking in Xiao Feng as his disciple, he finally revealed a satisfied smile!


    "A national war? The Guiyun Sword Sect wants to participate in the national battle too? " Xiao Feng was astonished in his heart. It seemed that the heavens had indeed arranged things cleverly. He was just worrying about what kind of status he should use to participate in the National Battle!


    Every five years, there will be a national war between the four major sects of the Eastern Liao Kingdom. Each faction will have three spots in the capital of the Eastern Liao Kingdom, a total of fifteen people from the royal family, representing the strongest fighting strength of the young generation of the Eastern Liao Kingdom. Of course, there will also be some people from some smaller sects who will participate!


    Liang Ren explained to Xiao Feng with a smile. From the light that flickered in Xiao Feng''s eyes, it seemed that he had quite a bit of interest in this competition!


    "Teacher, I wonder what requirements are required to participate in the National Battle?" Indeed, Xiao Feng mused for a moment before raising his head to look at Liang Ren and asked.


    "There aren''t any requirements, the only requirement is that you are under 20 years old. Any talented youngster can attend!" Liang Ren knew what Xiao Feng was thinking and his eyes instantly lit up. With Xiao Feng''s talent, he might be able to participate!


    "You want to participate?" He probingly asked Xiao Feng, and what replied him was Xiao Feng''s resolute gaze and attitude. "I want to participate!"


    Liang Ren laughed out loud. This disciple of his, no matter how he looked at it, he liked him. He had an unparalleled sharpness and an attitude that was firm and forward. He would definitely not be an ordinary person in the future!


    "Alright, when you return to the sect, calm down and cultivate. If you don''t understand something, find me. I will get all the resources you need to stand out in the sect selection three months from now!"


    "Thank you, master!" Xiao Feng cupped his fists gratefully towards Liang Ren. Even though he had yet to confess his identity and the intention of participating in the kingdom battle to Liang Ren, in his heart, Liang Ren was already his teacher!


    The Guiyun Sword Sect was located on Wuliang Mountain in the western part of Eastern Liao Country. It was about three days'' journey away from the capital, Liao City. What was most surprising was that Wuliang Mountain was actually a desolate mountain!


    It was only at this time that Xiao Feng noticed that the so-called barren mountain was indeed true. The entire mountain was a desolate and withered scene without a single trace of a comfortable green!


    "Hehe, the reason the Cloud Returning Sword Sect set up their headquarters in this barren mountain is because of a legend that has been passed down since ancient times. However, as for the specifics, only the past Palace Masters know. We have no way of knowing!"


    Seemingly seeing through Xiao Feng''s doubt, Liang Ren explained.


    "We''re here!"


    Just as Xiao Feng was still in a daze, Liang Ren''s voice sounded out. Xiao Feng raised his head to look, and a sharp fluctuation filled with an ancient aura charged over.


    In front of him, a massive stone sword soared into the sky. With just a glance, one would be able to feel an incomparably sharp energy pierce into their eyes, making them impossible to resist!


    A huge stone door stood not too far away. The four words of the Gui Yun Sect were written on the top of the gate, and the mottled marks seemed to record the traces of time.


    "So this is the Cloud Returning Sword Sect?"


    Xiao Feng''s eyes lit up as he felt the blood in his body boil.


    "I''ve finally found my own stage!"


    Rumble


    Following the confirmation of Liang Ren''s identity, the massive stone door slowly rose up. An even more terrifying sharp aura surged over, completely engulfing Xiao Feng!


    Following Liang Ren''s footsteps, Xiao Feng entered the Cloud Returning Sword Sect. The moment he entered, his face was filled with amazement!


    The Cloud Returning Sword Sect was situated on top of the Wuliang Mountain and was always desolate without any signs of life. However, the entire Wuliang Mountain was hollowed out by the Cloud Returning Sword Sect and was located inside the mountain!


    Liang Ren smiled faintly. He looked at the shocked Xiao Feng and led him forward!


    "Teacher, you''re back?"


    Just when Xiao Feng followed behind Liang Ren and walked a distance, a group of youths appeared in front of Liang Ren and respectfully greeted him.


    "En, come. Let me introduce him to you. This is your new junior brother, Xiao Feng!"


    Liang Ren smiled as he pulled Xiao Feng to introduce the crowd.


    "Xiao Feng, they are all your seniors. Just ask them if you don''t understand anything in the future!"


    Just as Liang Ren turned around to introduce Xiao Feng, his expression immediately changed as he looked at Xiao Feng with a strange expression!


    Because at this moment, Xiao Feng had already hidden his strength to the late stage of the Minute Subtlety Stage. He was looking at Xiao Feng with a harmless, mischievous smile!


    "Xiao Feng greets his seniors!"


    Ignoring Liang Ren''s expression, Xiao Feng walked up to the crowd and cupped his fists as he said.


    "Hmph, impolite!"


    In front of everyone, the leading azure-clothed man coldly snorted. He coldly snorted a few words, and the arrogance in his eyes was completely evident! It was obvious that Xiao Feng ignoring Liang Ren''s attitude earlier had made him feel a little unhappy!


    Although he was a man, he was only around the age of fifteen or sixteen, and he didn''t seem to be much older than Xiao Feng.

 C11

    The smile on Xiao Feng''s face froze slightly as he glanced at the green-clothed man. He didn''t have any reaction and continued to smile faintly.


    "Hehe, Junior Brother, welcome!"


    A figure came out from behind the green robed man as he smiled. He grabbed onto Xiao Feng and said passionately. He should have noticed that something was wrong and tried to smooth things over!


    "Youngest junior brother, my name is Li Yang, they all call me brat. Hehe, welcome to our Cloud Returning Sword Sect, in the future you can call me little ghost senior brother. If there''s anything you don''t understand, just look for me!"


    "This is our second senior brother, Liu Jin."


    The little ghost gave Xiao Feng a wink and glanced over at the azure-dressed man, as if he was telling him that he understood!


    "Haha, good, good. Then junior will thank the little ghost senior in advance!"


    Xiao Feng laughed heartily. Immediately, he pulled the little ghost and laughed. This little ghost did not seem to be a bad person.


    "Wow, a storage ring! Teacher actually gave it to you! You''re too amazing! You have to know that teacher has been collecting rings for many years!"


    Suddenly, the little ghost noticed the storage ring on Xiao Feng''s finger and cried out in surprise. His mouth couldn''t even close as he looked at Xiao Feng in shock!


    Hm? The words of the little demon caused Liu Jin''s eyes to narrow. His gaze landed on the storage ring on Xiao Feng''s finger. Then, his expression completely darkened as his eyes revealed a hint of hatred!


    As disciples, they naturally yearned for such a treasure and did everything they could to please their teacher. Yet, in the end, it was taken away by Xiao Feng, who had just entered the sect. How could he not hate Xiao Feng?


    Feeling Liu Jin''s hostile gaze, Xiao Feng was speechless. He helplessly shook his head and politely said to the little ghost.


    Following that, the crowd behind Liu Jin made their own introductions. After Xiao Feng got to know everyone, Liang Ren had the little ghost bring Xiao Feng to his residence. As he watched Xiao Feng''s departing figure, the strange expression on his face grew even more intense!


    "Strength is everything! Be careful!"


    This was what Liang Ren had said to Xiao Feng in his heart before he left. He was well aware of the temper these youths of his sect possessed, especially Liu Jin and the others!


    "Junior brother, this is where our big guy lives. We are all his disciples, but we are all led by other teachers. Only the eldest senior brother and second senior brother are taught by the teachers. Nuo, that is your bed!"


    Soon, the little ghost brought Xiao Feng to the backyard and pointed to a room with more than ten beds. At the same time, he pointed out to Xiao Feng a bed filled with miscellaneous items. This was the only empty bed!


    "Ok, thank you senior brother!" Elder Senior-apprentice Brother? Why haven''t we seen Eldest Brother yet? "


    Xiao Feng smiled slightly as he patted the little ghost''s shoulder. Then, he walked into the room with a smile on his face and started to clean up the items on the bed!


    "Oh, teacher is out to look for the antidote this time because of the poison that caused Eldest Senior Brother''s illness!" The little ghost passionately explained to Xiao Feng.


    "Stop, who allowed you to touch these things?"


    Just as Xiao Feng was about to clean up his things, a cold and arrogant voice was heard! It was Liu Jin.


    "Um, senior brother Liu, I told him to keep it, because it''s the only spare bed!"


    The little ghost quickly ran out and said to Liujin with a smile. He knew that Liujin was famous for his domineering attitude.


    "Don''t you know what''s on it is mine? Can''t you sleep on the floor without a bed? "


    Liu Jin stared coldly at the little ghost as he spoke with an unfriendly expression.


    "This... Senior brother, teacher, he ¡­ "


    The little ghost''s face was completely red, and a hint of fear appeared on his face. Liu Jin had the strength of a Middle Spirit Realm warrior, and he dared not challenge Liu Jin as he was only at the Late Refinement Realm. He could only bring Liang Ren out!


    "What''s wrong with teacher?" Did the teacher say he could sleep on the bed? Teacher only said that we should take care of him! "


    "Brat, I''ll give you three minutes. Return everything on the bed back to its original position and come over here to kneel down and apologize to me. Then, I''ll forgive you!"


    Ignoring the little ghost, Liu Jin turned his gaze to Xiao Feng and said arrogantly.


    "Oh? Is that so? What if I say no? "


    Xiao Feng turned his head around and smiled at Liu Jin as he said indifferently. A cold light flashed in his eyes. Liu Jin''s arrogance had clearly exceeded his tolerance limit!


    "No?" Do you dare say that in front of me? A mere new disciple dares to speak to me like this. It seems you really do not know about this! "


    Liu Jin stared at Xiao Feng and revealed a mocking smile. Facing a brat who had just entered the sect, he was afraid that Xiao Feng would not be able to turn the tide.


    "Junior brother, forget it, don''t go against him. He''s used to dominating the masses and has several subordinates under him. He''s also at the middle stage of the Spirit Realm, we can''t beat him!"


    The little ghost at the side softly whispered to Xiao Feng. With a helpless expression, it could be seen that he had been enduring his anger all this while!


    "Hehe, Senior Brother, such a person, does Teacher not care?"


    Xiao Feng ignored Liu Jin and instead turned his head to ask the little child. With his understanding of Liang Ren, the latter shouldn''t allow such a person to behave in such a manner!


    "Teacher is kind and considerate, treating his own disciples very well. He would do anything to face Liu Jinping and make it impossible for others to bring out any evidence. Therefore, even if teacher knew, there was nothing you could do about him!"


    The little ghost had a wry smile on his face. This Liu Jin had always been arrogant and despotic, proud and complacent. It was really difficult for anyone to deal with him!


    "Hehe ¡­" "It''s fine, let me handle it!"


    Xiao Feng laughed heartily and revealed a trace of a brilliant smile as he spoke to the little ghost. However, the little ghost saw a cold ray of light flash in his eyes!


    "Senior brother Liu, right?" I''ll give you three minutes, get the bed cleaned up, and then kneel down and apologize. I will just pretend that what happened today never happened! "


    Xiao Feng slowly raised his head, revealing a mouthful of pure-white teeth. He smiled at Liu Jin and said something that stunned everyone on the spot!


    "This ¡­"


    Especially this little demon. Once Xiao Feng said those words, he was like a bolt from the blue as he looked at Xiao Feng with a face full of fear. Facing Liu Jin who had been acting arrogantly for so many years, he actually said such bold words!


    "Sigh, in the end, he''s still too small. Too childish, he finally didn''t suffer any loss!"


    He could already imagine what Xiao Feng would look like in the near future. This was because every time a new disciple came in, as long as they couldn''t accept Liu Jin, they would end up in bed for half a month!


    "Haha, little brat, aren''t you afraid that you will spout out too much nonsense? Do you know who you''re talking to? If you don''t want to die, quickly kneel down and admit your wrongs. This might cause you to experience less pain! "

 C12

    Behind Liu Jin, a thirteen or fourteen year old youth laughed as he looked at Xiao Feng as if he was looking at a fool. The others also laughed loudly as they looked at Xiao Feng with disdain.


    "Hehe, it''s too late!" "Kid, from the moment you said those words, your fate today was not that good!"


    Liu Jin''s face revealed a cruel smile as he coldly said this.


    "Today, I will let you know what it means to respect your teacher and respect your senior!"


    His ice-cold gaze swept over Xiao Feng. Just as he finished speaking, his entire body shot towards Xiao Feng. Spirit essence condensed in his hand as it went straight for Xiao Feng''s chest!


    "Hehe!"


    Xiao Feng chuckled, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. A sharp light flashed in his eyes. He was looking forward to it. His figure flashed and he disappeared from the spot in an instant!


    "This speed ¡­"


    The moment Xiao Feng disappeared, the little ghost let out a cry of surprise. His eyes were filled with disbelief! Was this kind of speed really something that was only at the advanced level of the Divine Actualization Realm?


    Bam!


    In the next moment, a muffled sound rang out. Everyone saw Liu Jin''s body suddenly fly backward. In front of him, a ghost-like figure followed closely!


    Bba Bba Bba


    Three consecutive crisp sounds rang in the room, and then Liu Jin fell to the ground with a loud crash, landing heavily on the ground.


    Slowly stabilizing their bodies, everyone could clearly see Liu Jin''s appearance! He could not help but suck in a breath of cold air! He turned his gaze to Xiao Feng and looked at him as though he was looking at a monster!


    Xiao Feng returned to his original spot and lightly clapped his hands. He looked at Liu Jin with a smile. In front of him, the three handprints on Liu Jin''s face were clearly visible. A trace of dark red blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth!


    "This... "How is this possible!?"


    Everyone behind Liu Jin was shocked. When they looked at Xiao Feng, there was actually a trace of fear in their eyes!


    "Youngest junior brother, you ¡­"


    The thing that shocked him the most was the little brat. One second, he was thinking about how to take care of Xiao Feng in the next half month. But in the next moment, a heaven-defying change appeared before his eyes!


    "How is it? Senior brother Liu, do you want to consider my suggestion now? "


    Ignoring the gazes of the surrounding people, Xiao Feng crossed his arms in front of his chest as the corner of his mouth curled into a smile as he said indifferently.


    "Good, good, good. I didn''t expect that I would be the one being fooled this time. It seems that junior brother is also a person who likes to hide his abilities and doesn''t want to show them!"


    Liu Jin raised his head and stared at Xiao Feng like a venomous snake, not caring in the slightest about the handprint on his face. A cruel expression appeared on his face as his cold voice sounded in the room.


    "Hmph, if he dares to be so arrogant, he''s dead for sure!"


    "That''s right. You dare to show off in front of Senior Martial Brother Liu? Who does he think he is?" You think you''re that good after taking advantage of her once? "


    Behind Liu Jin''s back, whispers could be heard. They knew that Liu Jin had already become angry. In all these years, there had not been many people who dared to provoke him like this!


    Earlier, even though Xiao Feng had displayed his divine might, in their eyes, it was only a moment of carelessness on Liu Jin''s part that allowed him to succeed. After all, the difference in strength was there!


    "Junior brother, leave quickly! We can''t beat them, we need to go find Master!"


    Although the little ghost at the side was shocked, he still didn''t feel that Xiao Feng was Liu Jin''s match when faced with the ruthless Liu Jin. He immediately pulled Xiao Feng and was about to run out!


    "Brat, you''re a glutton. Are you looking to die?"


    Liu Jin swept the little ghost with his ice-cold gaze as his deep voice sounded from his throat. At the same time, a powerful surge of spirit energy erupted. It was heading towards the little ghost!


    The boy''s expression changed drastically. Liu Jin had the strength of a Spirit Channeling Middle Stage, and he was only at the advanced level a few days ago. Facing Liu Jin, he could not even have any thoughts of resisting!


    A burst of fear accompanied by a bitter smile appeared on his face. He knew that he would inevitably be bullied again today! He could only hope that the other party would show mercy and not be so vicious!


    The fear in his heart made him unable to resist. He tightly shut his eyes, allowing the spiritual energy pillar to come towards him.


    Humph!]


    Just as he closed his eyes and prepared to take the blow head on, a loud, cold snort rang in his ears. At the same time, a strong wave of spirit energy broke out, forcing him to continuously retreat!


    In front of him, a thin figure stood proudly, maintaining the posture of striking with his right fist!


    "What?" "To think that he could destroy senior brother Liu''s attack with a single punch. What kind of monster is this? How can his body be so strong?!"


    In their eyes, Liu Jin was an incomparably powerful existence. But now, a little brat that had just entered the school, actually repeatedly provoked Liu Jin. At the beginning, they thought that it was just a fluke, but now, their thoughts were slowly changing!


    "Now, what I just said has no effect!"


    Xiao Feng slowly raised his head and retracted his faintly glowing fist. His pitch-black eyes flashed with a terrifying cold light as a calm voice rang out!


    "I''ll take your life today!"


    Liu Jin''s face was twisted as he let out a vicious roar. He was provoked again and again. This person was just a wet behind the ears brat. In all these years, no one had ever dared to make him lose!


    "Mt. Tai Fist!"


    A huge yellow fist condensed in Liu Jin''s hand. The powerful aura caused some of the items in the room to buzz! Under Liu Jin''s control, they headed towards Xiao Feng!


    Lifting his head slightly, the corner of Xiao Feng''s mouth curled up in a teasing smile. His entire body disappeared once again as he threw out another ordinary punch. A faint boundless light flashed on his fist!


    It had to be known that when using the azure dragon''s Qi, his physical strength would allow him to take on a few moves even when he was at the early or middle stage of the sea realm.


    Everything in the world was broken by force!


    Xiao Feng''s expression was calm as his simple and unadorned fist smashed against Mt. Tai''s fist!


    Bam!


    In the eyes of the audience, the giant yellow fist was covered with cracks and was about to break apart!


    breakage


    Xiao Feng shouted loudly. The surface of his fist flashed and the huge Mt. Tai fist shattered under his strength. It turned into shattered strands of spirit essence that dissipated!


    "What?! This is impossible!"


    It was as if they had seen a ghost. Everyone present had their mouths wide open in disbelief. It was as if an egg could fit inside their mouths. They looked at Xiao Feng as if they were looking at a monster! The fear on his face grew!


    From what he knew, even if Xiao Feng dared to challenge Liu Jin, he could at most be on par with Liu Jin. But now, with Xiao Feng''s crushing strength, he couldn''t even slow down for a short period of time!


    Xiao Feng was unrelenting as he took advantage of the situation and charged forward. Azure Dragon qi broke out from his body and his ghost-like figure once again entangled Liu Jin!

 C13

    Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa ¡­


    A crisp sound rang out once again. Every sound was like a heavy hammer that ruthlessly struck the hearts of everyone present. In the dead silence, there was only a crisp sound of a face-smacking that reverberated continuously!


    Snap


    With another heavy slap, Xiao Feng, who had been smacking the air god knows how many times, suddenly exerted strength and directly sent Liu Jin flying. He fell to the ground like a dead dog!


    Rubbing his hands, Xiao Feng had a pained expression on his face as he looked at his hands. It was as though his hands couldn''t take much more after fighting for so long!


    Seeing the painful expression on Xiao Feng''s face and Liu Jin on the ground, everyone''s faces couldn''t help but twitch!


    Liu Jin struggled to get up. Seeing his face, the crowd couldn''t help but feel a chill down their spines. The eyes they used to look at Xiao Feng were filled with fear!


    At this moment, Liu Jin had already been completely beaten into a pig''s head by Xiao Feng. His two cheeks were raised high and his swollen face made his originally small eyes appear even more indiscernible. Large mouthfuls of blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth.


    "How is it? Senior brother Liu, do you still want me to kneel down and apologize? "If you need me, just say it. I''ll kneel down for you right now!"


    The corner of Xiao Feng''s mouth curled into a playful smile as he spoke to the disfigured face of the pig head, Three Lions Gold.


    Puff.


    Liu Jin, who was originally heavily injured, once again spat out a mouthful of blood. His entire body began to twitch. Xiao Feng''s taunting words caused his severely injured body to become heavier!


    "I... "I''m going to kill you ¡­"


    Liu Jin''s red and swollen face did not reveal any expression, but it was extremely sinister as he spoke with a trembling, slurred voice. At the same time, he drew out a huge sword from the hands of the person behind him and charged towards Xiao Feng!


    "Hmph, reckless!"


    Xiao Feng let out a cold snort as killing intent flashed in his eyes. He originally wanted to teach this arrogant fellow a lesson, but he repeatedly provoked Xiao Feng. At this moment, Xiao Feng was already harboring murderous intentions towards him!


    The Azure Dragon Qi in Xiao Feng''s palm suffused the air as his icy gaze locked onto Liu Jin. He was ready to launch a fatal attack at any moment!


    "Stop!"


    Just as Xiao Feng was about to make his move, a loud and clear voice came from outside the house. At the same time, a stream of spirit energy came in from outside the house and directly knocked down the sword in Liu Jin''s hand!


    "Teacher, teacher is here!"


    Everyone''s expression changed as they whispered in panic.


    Amidst the discussions of the crowd, Liang Ren strode into the room. His fierce gaze swept over everyone present, and an enormous aura enveloped the entire area!


    The Azure Dragon Qi in Xiao Feng''s hand dissipated as he looked indifferently at Liang Ren. He knew that since Liang Ren had come, then he wouldn''t be able to continue battling with Liu Jin today!


    "Teacher, teacher, you''ve come. You must uphold justice for this disciple. This new junior brother of mine is extremely arrogant. Not only must he steal my bed, he even beat me into this state. Teacher, you must uphold justice for me!"


    The moment Liang Ren appeared, Liu Jin immediately knelt down and hugged Liang Ren''s leg as he wailed in pain. The bad guys were the first to report everything that had happened to Xiao Feng.


    "That''s not it, teacher, it''s not what senior brother Liu said. It''s because ¡­"


    Evildoer Liu Jin complained first. When Liang Ren saw his red and swollen face, he pulled him up from the ground. The little ghost at the side immediately became anxious. He was afraid that Liang Ren would punish Xiao Feng, so he quickly explained.


    Liang Ren slowly raised his hand, signaling the kid to stop talking. He slowly walked up to Xiao Feng and locked his gaze with his own!


    "Xiao Feng, what do you have to say?"


    Liang Ren asked indifferently as he looked at the calm Xiao Feng as if nothing had happened.


    "No, there''s nothing to say. You know it better than I do, don''t you?"


    Xiao Feng smiled lightly and shrugged his shoulders as he smiled innocently without a trace of nervousness!


    When Liu Jin made his move, Liu Jin had already faintly felt that there was a faintly discernible aura outside the room, and he could already guess who it was.


    "Hehe, you brat!"


    Liang Ren faintly smiled, and the aura around his body began to slowly dissipate. Everyone in the room felt their bodies loosen as the massive pressure completely vanished!


    "Alright, let''s go back. Xiao Feng, come with me!" Furthermore, from today onwards, Xiao Feng is a direct disciple of mine, so I will personally supervise all of his affairs! "


    Liang Ren said softly as he looked at the crowd. He didn''t even glance at Liu Jin as he led Xiao Feng out, leaving the crowd in a daze!


    "What, how could this be!"


    As they watched Xiao Feng and Liang Ren''s departing figures, a doubt appeared in everyone''s heart. Could it be that this matter will be let go just like that?!


    "Who exactly is this Xiao Feng?" Will the teacher treat him like this? "


    "Teacher, what''s wrong?" "Under normal circumstances, it shouldn''t be so hasty, right?"


    Everyone had faces full of doubt as they continuously guessed Xiao Feng''s identity. In their eyes, besides having a great background, Liang Ren shouldn''t have protected Xiao Feng like this!


    Of course, this included the little ghost. As he looked at Xiao Feng''s back, his heart was not at peace!


    However, only Liu Jin had his head lowered at this moment. A vicious light flashed in his eyes as he looked at the backs of Xiao Feng and Liang Ren, and a voice filled with killing intent sounded!


    "Little bastard, I will definitely make you die a miserable death!"


    "Kid, you made such a ruckus right after entering the door?"


    Ignoring the thoughts of the people behind him, Liang Ren led Xiao Feng out of the backyard and into the Gui Yun Sword Sect!


    "Hehe, I''ll do it. If he doesn''t offend me, I won''t offend him. If he offends me, I''ll definitely return him!"


    Xiao Feng chuckled as a sharp light flashed in his eyes.


    "However, that Liu Jin really should teach him a lesson. He has been too excessive these years. It''s just that he hasn''t been able to get the evidence!"


    Liang Ren smiled slightly. He didn''t blame Xiao Feng, but rather gave him an affirmative attitude!


    "Just now, I went to report to the sect head about your matter. Those who are accepted as disciples by the elders will all have a greeting gift. Right now, I''ll bring you to cash in. What do you want?"


    Upon hearing the greeting, Xiao Feng''s eyes lit up as he looked at Liang Ren with a face full of drool. His mind raced; there was actually such a good thing.


    "I want a battle skill, a powerful battle skill!"


    He quickly came to a conclusion. Right now, there was nothing more important than constantly improving his own strength. As long as he was strong, all of this would not be nonsense!


    "Hehe, you brat, come with me!"


    Although the entire Cloud Returning Sword Sect was located within the Wuliang Mountain, no one knew what methods they used to do so, but the ancient palace was still like the outside world. The day was bright and the sun shone brightly!


    Following Liang Ren, they continued onward and soon arrived before a tower!


    Martial Skill Pavilion


    Three simple words were carved on the top of the gate, and an ancient energy wave was faintly released!

 C14

    At the entrance of the Martial Skill Pavilion, a man in ragged clothes was currently sweeping the floor with a hunched back. There was not a single trace of light in his murky eyes. His aged face was covered with the wrinkles of time. Just like an ordinary person, there was not the slightest fluctuation of spirit energy.


    "Pavilion Elder, Liang Ren was ordered by Hall Master Liang to bring this kid here to choose a battle skill. I''ll have to trouble Pavilion Elder to do that!"


    Behind him, Xiao Feng also bowed together with Liang Ren. Even though he looked like a child, he had the ability to see through someone who had two lifetimes worth of memories. This kind of eyesight wasn''t something that he could foolishly believe this old man in front of him was an ordinary person! Some people with profound cultivations were able to absorb spirit essence into themselves and return it to its original nature, giving people a feeling of mysteriousness!


    This was especially so when he saw the old man. This scene caused his heart to suddenly tremble; it seemed as if this had happened in the Shaolin Temple''s Scripture Pavilion in his previous life!


    At that time, the monk who swept the ground was a peerless expert with an unknown origin but with exquisite buddhist skills. In the end, he even resolved the grudge between the Xiao family and the Mu Rong family and saved their father!


    The old man stopped his broom and slowly raised his head to look at Xiao Feng. A ray of light flashed across his murky eyes. It was as if Xiao Feng''s entire body was stripped naked before the old man!


    "Go. Remember, as a greeting gift, you can only choose your skills on the first level!"


    The old man lowered his head and continued sweeping the leaves on the ground. His aged voice lightly rang out.


    "Yes, thank you Pavilion Elder!"


    Liang Ren bowed respectfully once again before bowing to the old man and bringing Xiao Feng into the Martial Skill Pavilion!


    "Has it finally come?"


    Just as Liang Ren and Xiao Feng entered the Martial Skill Pavilion, the old man who had his head lowered slowly spoke a few words. If they were present, they would have definitely discovered that their originally murky eyes had actually become incomparably clear and radiant at this moment! However, in just an instant, it turned turbid again and continued sweeping the floor!


    "middle grade Profound Rank offensive skill, Swift Shadow Steps!"


    "High grade Profound Rank battle skill, Heart Cleansing Sword!"


    "High grade Profound Rank Thunder God''s Hammer!"


    One after another, high class battle skills were displayed on the first floor of the Martial Skill Pavilion. Xiao Feng was dazzled as he looked at the battle skills one by one, his eyes flickering with a fiery light.


    "Eh, teacher, what does this middle rank Profound Rank mean? Is it the level of a martial skill? "


    Xiao Feng, who was in the middle of choosing a martial skill, suddenly voiced out in confusion. He asked Liang Ren who was at the side.


    "En, yes, the people of the Xuan Wu Continent divide the ranks into four levels based on the power of the martial skill, and each level is also divided into three levels. The technique is the same, even if it is a skill of the same level, the power between intermediate and high level cannot be compared!"


    "Oh, why haven''t these dragon spirits told me about it yet?"


    Xiao Feng thought to himself. Logically speaking, shouldn''t Long Ling have told him these things before? Could she have forgotten?


    "I got it, thank you teacher!"


    Xiao Feng felt a stomachache in his heart. He then tossed it to the back of his mind. After thanking Liang Ren, he continued to immerse himself in the selection of various battle skills!


    ''Huh? ''


    Suddenly, a dusty yellow book on the first floor attracted Xiao Feng''s attention because all of the battle skills were as new as they were before. Only the book was placed in a corner and covered in dust.


    Xiao Feng walked to the corner and gently peeled away the thick layer of dust. Four large and ancient words impressively appeared before his eyes.


    "Light Dead Eye!"


    Xiao Feng muttered to himself as his heart inexplicably throbbed. He could faintly feel that this battle skill seemed to be a little strange! This was because there was no indication as to what rank of battle skill it belonged to.


    "This one!"


    A thought suddenly flashed through Xiao Feng''s mind. Although he didn''t know why he had such a feeling, he still believed in his first inspiration!


    "Hmm?"


    Liang Ren, who was at the side, watched as Xiao Feng stood dumbstruck before the book that had remained untouched for so many years. He immediately let out an exclamation.


    "You want to choose it?"


    Liang Ren walked over and asked Xiao Feng.


    "Hmm, I''m very interested in it!"


    Xiao Feng nodded his head, his gaze never leaving those four big words.


    "It has been many years since anyone has touched this book. Not only is cultivating it extremely difficult, the requirements are also extremely harsh. The price one has to pay is also enormous."


    "The other reason is because I don''t know its grade. Because no one has successfully cultivated it, no one was able to give the correct grade. Therefore, this state has existed for many years!"


    "Are you sure you want to choose it? This is an absolutely good chance. If you do not succeed, then did you waste such an opportunity? "


    Liang Ren explained to Xiao Feng in shock.


    "It''s alright, I want to give it a try. It''s just a once, at most, I''ll just treat it as nothing!"


    Xiao Feng chuckled and said in an enlightened manner.


    Xiao Feng reached out and slowly picked up the ancient yellow book and began to flip through it.


    Hm?


    With the Martial Skill Pavilion still here, he still lowered his head and looked at the Martial Skill Pavilion. A peculiar light flashed in his eyes as he let out a surprised sound.


    "Did I really choose it?"


    After flipping through a few pages, Xiao Feng felt a wave of dizziness. Such a huge amount of information was not that much weaker than when he had reincarnated and fused two lifetimes'' worth of memories!


    "Alright, since you''ve chosen it, I can only hope that you succeed. This is your identity card, you just have to guard it well. Whether it''s the training grounds or the Merit Point Pavilion, they need your identity card to prove your decision!"


    Liang Ren looked at Xiao Feng and left him a unique tablet. Then, he left alone!


    He closed the book and slowly walked out of the Martial Skill Pavilion. According to the rules of the Martial Skill Pavilion, the books that he borrowed could be taken away, but they must be returned within seven days and not overdue!


    "Little fellow, if there''s anything you don''t understand when you''re cultivating, come and ask me. I might be able to help you for a bit!"


    The moment Xiao Feng stepped out of the Martial Skill Pavilion, an ethereal voice rang in his ears. It was the old man who had swept the floor just now, but Xiao Feng had not found him in the surroundings!


    After silently bowing toward the Martial Skill Pavilion, Xiao Feng smiled and walked back to the backyard in large strides!


    Returning to the backyard, the sky gradually darkened. Xiao Feng tidied up the bed and lay on it as he carefully studied the "Death Light Eyes" he had obtained today.


    "Junior brother, junior brother, come out for a bit!"


    The next morning, as Xiao Feng was meditating in his own seat, the little ghost''s voice suddenly rang out. It was Xiao Feng who had left his cultivation state and walked out of his own room. This was the room Liang Ren had arranged for him by himself yesterday!


    "What''s wrong? Senior Brother? "


    Xiao Feng looked at the little ghost with a puzzled expression. From his eyes, Xiao Feng saw a trace of fear.

 C15

    Junior brother, you must be careful during this period of time. You offended Liu Jin yesterday, so based on my understanding of him, he will definitely not let this matter rest! "


    "Oh? I taught him a lesson yesterday. If he doesn''t have a good memory and offends me again, I don''t mind taking his life! "


    Xiao Feng said with a faint smile and an indifferent tone. His eyes flashed with an icy coldness.


    At this moment, facing Xiao Feng was like facing a crawling tiger. Normally, he was extremely docile, but if anyone dared to offend him, he would show his sharp fangs!


    "No, you don''t know. The reason Liu Jin has been able to act so domineeringly in these past few years isn''t just because his strength isn''t bad. The most important reason is that he has an even more powerful brother, Liu Yang."


    "This Liu Yang is also a member of the Gui Yun Sect. Not long ago, he completed a difficult mission and was just accepted by the Second Elder as a disciple. Furthermore, his strength has reached the mid stage of the Sea Opening Realm!"


    "Before he was taken in as a disciple by the Second Elder, the two brothers were domineering amongst these lower levelled disciples and their status has now risen. Now that you''ve taught Liu Jin a lesson, if Liu Yang finds out, he probably won''t let this matter go!"


    The little ghost bitterly explained to Xiao Feng. A single Liu Jin was already something they could not afford to offend. Now, with Liu Yang, even if Xiao Feng were strong, he would not be able to gain much benefit from it!


    "Oh? Liu Yang? Second Elder''s disciple? Mid Sea Cleaving stage? "


    Xiao Feng was surprised as he didn''t expect Liu Jin to have such a backing. However, he was only surprised for an instant.


    If he wants to stand up for his younger brother, then just let him come.


    Xiao Feng smiled faintly as if he was talking about an extremely ordinary thing. He had a relaxed expression on his face!


    The little ghost looked at Xiao Feng with a shocked expression. He was no longer able to see through this little junior brother of his. As to who his junior brother was, the little ghost was immediately a little dazed!


    "If you need anything, just come find me!"


    Xiao Feng laughed heartily as he patted the little ghost''s shoulder. Then, he walked out of the room with a smile!


    Sea Cleaving Middle Stage? In front of him, the progress and strength increase brought by absorbing a sliver of azure dragon''s qi was not based on the usual ranking system!


    Xiao Feng did not mind the words of the little ghost. He slowly walked into the training field and prepared to start training with this new battle skill!


    The Guiyun Sword Sect''s training grounds were very different from the other training grounds. Although they looked no different from normal ones in the outside world, there was a whole new world within them.


    The gigantic training grounds were supported by numerous mysterious array formations, dividing the training grounds into countless separate spaces, just like an empty house!


    Even if there were two people a few centimeters apart, they would not be able to see or touch each other. In his eyes, there was only an empty training ground!


    Of course, no one outside or inside could see what they were training in. No one in the training field or inside could feel any fluctuations!


    Xiao Feng slowly walked towards the training grounds. Even though his vision was empty, he knew that there were actually countless people training before him!


    Xiao Feng took out his identity plate. With a flash of light, a resplendent ray of light wrapped around Xiao Feng, causing him to appear in an empty training ground!


    "Phew ¡­"


    Xiao Feng took a deep breath and adjusted his body to its peak state. Once again, he slowly flipped open the Yellow Paper! As he flipped through the pages, his face gradually filled with a solemn expression, and his brows locked together!


    As Xiao Feng understood more and more, he finally understood what the so-called huge price that Gu Zhen had mentioned was. The Death Light Eye required the cultivator to gather all of their spirit essence in the eye area and circulate it according to the technique, finally releasing the fatal attack!


    Even for those who cultivated physical strength, the weakest part was the eyes. Spirit essence that could destroy a powerful body gathered in the eyes. One could imagine, if one was not careful, their eyes would be destroyed, and before they successfully cultivated, they would be destroyed! This kind of price was not something that an ordinary person could bear!


    Xiao Feng''s brows were knitted tightly as a light of hesitation flashed in his eyes. If he wasn''t careful, this kind of price would cost him his entire life!


    "Wealth comes from danger, and cowardice comes from cowardice. In the end, it''s difficult to accomplish anything big!"


    Very quickly, a resolute gaze replaced the glint in Xiao Feng''s eyes. As a person who had transmigrated, he clearly understood that the height of a person depended on their heart! The height of the fountain depended on the source!


    Xiao Feng slowly circulated the majestic Azure Dragon Qi within his body as he followed the records of the Qi Method to his eyes with one special meridian after another!


    As the azure dragon''s aura gathered, Xiao Feng felt an unbearable pain come from both of his eyes. Like a balloon that had been inflated, his eyeballs rapidly swelled as if they were about to fall!


    Ah!


    Xiao Feng let out a painful cry. His distorted face was extremely pale and his eyes were bloodshot. A heart-wrenching pain continued to emanate from within!


    Gritting his teeth, a series of gurgling sounds came from within. As time passed, the protruding eyeballs emitted waves of faintly discernible bloody mist. Two streams of dark red blood flowed out from the corners of his eyes!


    "If this goes on, I''ll destroy my eyes!"


    Xiao Feng secretly checked his condition in his heart, especially his eyes. Even though his body was strong, his eyes were still incomparably weak. Even he could feel that his eyeballs were about to burst from enduring such a strong power of the Azure Dragon!


    "How can this be? Is there a problem somewhere? "


    He circulated his Spirit Yuan once again, directing the azure dragon''s Qi from the beginning to the end, attacking his swollen eyes again and again. However, each time, it ended in failure! What remained was a world of endless blood! And an unbearable feeling of pain!


    "I don''t believe that there is such a difficult battle skill in this world. You can even cultivate the strongest dragon body here, yet you think you can stop me with just a small battle skill like this." "In your dreams?"


    Xiao Feng let out a furious roar and circulated the Azure Dragon''s Qi in his body once again, rushing towards the incomparably large bulging eyeball! A dizzy feeling welled up within his mind!


    Terrifying clouds of blood filled Xiao Feng''s eyeball, and sparkling blood-red lights continued to circulate within it. Xiao Feng endured this inhuman torture, and even though his body was numb and his body was twitching, he still did not give up so easily!


    "Since it is going to explode, let it explode! Even if I don''t have eyes, I can still walk my own path!"


    After many attempts had failed, Xiao Feng felt indignant in his heart. A vicious ray of light flashed through the blood fog. He steeled his heart and directed an even stronger Azure Dragon Qi towards his eyes?

 C16

    Ah!


    A miserable cry echoed in the vast training grounds. Even though no one in the outside world could hear it, it still echoed in his own space!


    Bam!


    A low and deep explosive sound rang out. Xiao Feng''s protruding eyes were like exploding balloons. They were finally unable to endure the pressure from the azure dragon''s aura and burst apart with a loud bang!


    The two eyeballs turned into two streams of bloody mist as they floated before his eyes. Xiao Feng''s world immediately turned dark, one could not see the light!


    "Did he really fail just like that?"


    Gritting his teeth tightly, he felt unresigned in his heart. Was he really going to give up just like that and follow the footsteps of others? Xiao Feng forcefully endured the pain that pierced into his heart. He couldn''t accept it in his heart?


    That''s not right!


    Right after Xiao Feng felt a wave of depression, a thought abruptly appeared in his heart!


    Because at this moment, in the endless darkness in front of his eyes, he was like a man lost in his own world, unable to find his way. Suddenly, he saw a little bit of dim light!


    This is?


    Xiao Feng was startled. The rays of light that were faintly discernible in the darkness seemed to be about to be extinguished and disappear. If he didn''t observe carefully, it would be difficult to discover it!


    "I get it. After breaking, I will be established. It is for my rebirth!"


    Xiao Feng was suddenly enlightened. Only by putting himself in a place of true death would he be able to find a way to live after putting his life on the line!


    A thought flashed across his mind and without any hesitation, he activated the azure dragon''s aura in his body and it gathered in his eyes. However, both his eyes had been completely destroyed, leaving only two empty sockets!


    As the azure dragon aura gathered, the two bright lights in the deep eye sockets became faintly discernible. A strange obscure fluctuation was transmitted?


    As if they were attracted, the two balls of blood floating in front of him slowly condensed under the attraction of the eye sockets. Within a few breaths, two identical eyeballs appeared once again and returned to Xiao Feng''s eye sockets!


    Weng


    Following the return of the eyeball, a destructive aura immediately spread in all directions with Xiao Feng as the center. Xiao Yan''s pale face was gradually recovering the color of blood!


    Swish


    The confinement of his eyes abruptly opened and a ray of destructive light shot out. It ruthlessly struck the distant array that separated the two spaces. The entire array in the training ground suddenly shook for a moment and then quickly returned to its calm state!


    "It really succeeded?" How could you be so fast? "


    In the Martial Skill Pavilion, a long distance away from the training grounds, an elderly face slowly appeared. Without any pupils, his eyes flashed as he looked in the direction of the training grounds in shock!


    "As I thought, if you want to cultivate the Light Death Eye, you must first be ruthless towards yourself. No wonder no one has successfully cultivated it for so many years!" This is not that easy to do! "


    Xiao Feng slowly retracted his aura. His eyes gradually recovered their calmness, but became even more profound and obscure, and his gaze became sharper and sharper!


    "Although I have successfully trained them, I still need to train them in actual combat!"


    Martial techniques were not a type of cultivation technique that could be mastered just by closed-door training. Only by constantly practicing would there be a great improvement!


    "Since you''re already here, it''s time to raise your cultivation!"


    Xiao Feng thought to himself in his heart. Although his cultivation had just increased, his cultivation method was different from all the others. There was no problem with the foundation. As long as he continued to absorb and refine the Azure Dragon''s Qi, his strength would once again increase by leaps and bounds!


    Another reason was that after joining the Cloud Returning Sword Sect, Xiao Feng still had many things he needed to do. From the words of a little kid, he found out that the Cloud Returning Sword Sect had quite a few geniuses, and his competitive ambitions made him unwilling to be left behind!


    Just after Xiao Feng had closed up for seven days, the backyard that he lived in sank into great trouble!


    "Brat, quickly hand over that little bastard. If you don''t hand it over, then ¡­" Don''t blame me for being impolite! "


    In the backyard, Liu Jin led a few men and aggressively rushed into the house. He grabbed the little ghost and said viciously.


    "Liu..." Senior-apprentice Brother Liu, ever since Junior Apprentice Brother Lin was taken away by Master for a trip back, he disappeared the next day. I also do not know where he is! "


    The little ghost in the middle of the crowd had a sullen face, his body trembling in fear as he explained. Facing the ruthless Liujin, other than fear, he could not produce any other emotions!


    "Hmph. Don''t think that I don''t know. You have a very good relationship with that little bastard. How could you not know where he is?"


    Liu Jin''s face was gloomy as he coldly looked at the little ghost on the ground and viciously said.


    "Hit him! I don''t believe that he doesn''t know about this! Hit him until he says so!" Even if he really doesn''t know, I can''t stand by and watch that little bastard get beaten up! "


    Liu Jin lost his patience and ordered the people behind him to give the kid a good beating!


    "Senior brother Liu, don''t go too far. If Master finds out about this, you won''t feel good either!"


    There were people in the crowd who could not stand watching this. They stood up to persuade him, and at the same time, they also brought out Gu Zhen!


    "Too much? You say I''m being excessive? Teacher? So what if teacher knows? What about me? You want to help that little bastard too? Beat him together! "


    Liu Jin was originally angry, but now that he had stepped out to speak, he had met with misfortune, so he directly beat up the speaker without saying a word!


    "This Liu Jin is too arrogant. He deserves to be taught a lesson by junior brother ¡­"


    "That''s right. This kind of person giving him a lesson is too easy. If I were the youngest junior brother, I definitely wouldn''t let it go like this ¡­"


    "Ai ai ai ai, speak less. Be careful that he might hear or that it will implicate you. Someone like this will naturally come and take care of him!"


    Liu Jin''s arrogance had completely caused the public to be angered. The sounds of discussions could be heard from the crowd. Aside from the people he brought, everyone else began to discuss with one another!


    "I''ll give you three days. If you don''t find that little bastard after three days, I''ll cripple you first. If he doesn''t come out in a day, I''ll break one of your legs and one of your hands!"


    Looking at the two on the ground, Liu Jin looked at them coldly. His eyes swept over the two of them and he gave the little ghost an ultimatum!


    After he had finished speaking, he didn''t care about the reaction of the crowd as he led his men out of the city swaggering as if he was the god of the world!


    "What should we do?" "Where is Junior-apprentice Brother Lin?"


    Waves of pain came from the little ghost''s red and swollen face. He crawled up with the support of the crowd, and said bitterly to himself as his heart trembled.


    However, Xiao Feng didn''t know any of this. At this moment, he was trying his best to break through to a higher realm, the Sea Opening Realm!


    Over and over again, he guided the azure dragon''s aura through his limbs and bones. In these three days, he had absorbed quite a bit of the azure dragon''s aura. Just like a monk in meditation, he sat cross-legged in the training field and continued his assault!


    Three days passed in the blink of an eye. The little ghost''s wounds had yet to be completely healed when Liujin brought a group of people to rush into the backyard, pulling the little ghost off the bed!

 C17

    "Speak, where is that little bastard?"


    Liu Jin didn''t waste any words as he coldly looked at the little ghost and directly asked.


    "I... I don''t know, I didn''t find him! "


    He had been lying on his bed these past few days with no way of going out, not to mention going out to look for Xiao Feng!


    "Very good! Since that''s the case, you can bear everything for him. I don''t believe that he will watch you suffer for him! "


    Liu Jin viciously said. His eyes were like a poisonous snake as he stared at the little ghost!


    "Liu Jin, don''t go too far. It''s fine if you run rampant all the time, but today you''re acting so arrogantly. I''ll go and tell Master how he''s going to deal with this!"


    Behind the kid, five to six youths finally couldn''t bear it any longer and headed out the door with the intention of reporting to Liang Ren!


    "Hmph, are you rebelling? I want you to teach them a lesson! "


    A group of people rushed out from behind Liu Jin, knocking five to six people to the ground. Sounds of punches and kicks continuously rang in the room! At the same time, screams of agony could be heard!


    "Brat, don''t blame me. If you want to blame something, blame it on you making an ungrateful little friend. Even if I hide my head and see you suffering for him, I wouldn''t dare to stand out!"


    The boundless spirit energy in Liu Jin''s hand was intertwined as he spoke, walking step by step towards the little ghost. His merciless expression made the little ghost''s heart, which was originally in fear, tremble once again!


    Drink


    The spirit essence in his palm flashed as the powerful spirit essence instantly flew towards the little ghost''s leg. If this palm were to hit him, his leg would probably be crippled for life!


    "How dare you!"


    Just as the little ghost closed his eyes, not daring to look on helplessly as what was about to happen, an ice-cold voice suddenly rang out from outside the house. At the same time, a powerful force tore through the air and came over!


    Liu Jin''s face revealed a trace of an evil smile. He returned a palm strike to the force that was attacking him from behind and his entire body came to a halt as he coldly looked outside the room!


    A skinny figure slowly walked into the room. Xiao Feng, with a gloomy expression, swept his sharp gaze across the crowd and finally landed on the group of people who were still being beaten!


    With a move of his body, he appeared behind the few of them. In the next instant, a few figures flew out horizontally. Miserable cries could be heard as countless amounts of blood spurted out from their mouths!


    Stretching out his hand to pull the few people on the ground, Xiao Feng turned his head with a dark expression and looked coldly at Liu Jin! Everyone could feel that the temperature in the room had suddenly dropped. They could feel a chill coming from the bottom of their hearts!


    "Haha, little bastard, you finally dare to come out?"


    Liu Jin''s face revealed a trace of a cruel smile. He ignored the wailing subordinates on the ground and firmly locked onto Xiao Feng!


    "Today, I''ll see how you can show off your strength. I''ll pay back what you''ve given me by multiple folds!"


    An angry voice rang out, Liu Jin''s entire body immediately burst out with a powerful aura, the strength of a Mid Spirit Realm warrior was unquestionable! Boundless spirit energy gathered as it explosively charged towards Xiao Feng!


    Xiao Feng''s expression did not change. What responded to him was endless chilliness and boundless killing intent!


    He took a step forward. This step seemed to shorten the distance between him and Liu Jin. Azure Dragon qi circulated on his fist as he punched out with Xiao Feng''s anger!


    BOOM *


    The whole room suddenly shook. Everyone felt their feet trembling, almost losing their balance!


    Subsequently, Liu Jin was sent flying backwards like a cannonball. Blood spurted out of his mouth and his face was filled with horror!


    Bam!


    Like a kite with its string cut, Liu Jin flew out of the house and directly smashed into the yard, immediately dying!


    "No ¡­" No... "My strength, my spirit essence ¡­"


    Liu Jin, who fell to the ground, let out a miserable howl. His terrified expression covered his face!


    With Liu Jin''s wails, everyone present felt that Liu Jin''s aura was disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye. Countless spirit essence surged out from his body and dispersed!


    Liu Jin''s actions had completely angered Xiao Feng. If it wasn''t for him being in time, then the person lying on the ground at this moment would probably be a little kid!


    He did not hold back at all as the azure dragon''s aura brutally destroyed his dantian and crippled all of his cultivation.


    "Senior brother Liu Yang, since you''re here, there''s no need for you to hide and hide. Come out!"


    Xiao Feng''s majestic Spiritual Essence wrapped around his voice as he coldly glanced at Liu Jin. His eyes were tightly staring at the door! Everyone''s hearts turned cold!


    "What a cruel and merciless junior brother!" Today, I have truly gained experience! "


    As Xiao Feng''s voice echoed out, a group of people quickly appeared in front of Xiao Yan. The leader of the group slowly stepped into the courtyard and stared at Xiao Feng with a dark expression!


    "No, not at all. Compared to the other senior brothers, I am still far from being as good as I am!"


    Xiao Feng laughed coldly and taunted without restraint.


    "What a sharp tongue. Do you really think that you have the qualifications to be presumptuous in front of me just because you can defeat Liujin?"


    Liu Yang''s face darkened as he released all of his aura without restraint, fully displaying the might of someone in the middle stage of the Sea Opening Realm!


    "Is that great?"


    The corner of Xiao Feng''s mouth curled, but he still calmly spat out a few words! The people behind him were so shocked that their mouths gaped wide open, staring at him as if he was a monster!


    "Good, good, good. Truly, a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger. I admire the courage of my junior brother, but I''m afraid he might not have the strength to bear the consequences of his courage!"


    Liu Yang was instead angered into a smile. Xiao Feng''s words caused him, who was proud of his strength, to feel ridicule for the first time. Anger burned within his heart as the aura around him tightly locked onto Xiao Feng!


    "I was born with cheap skin and like to be beaten. I thought that Senior Brother Liu Jin could help me fulfill this wish. Unfortunately, he was lacking a little bit. I hope Senior Brother does not disappoint me, right?"


    Xiao Feng looked innocently at Liu Yang, the corner of his mouth curving into a playful smile as his two large eyes flashed with an innocent light!


    Puff.


    Liu Jin spat out a mouthful of blood as soon as Xiao Feng said what he wanted to say. Xiao Feng''s mockery and ridicule caused him to spit out another mouthful of blood!


    "Little bastard, big brother, kill him. You must kill him and avenge me!"


    Liu Jin roared crazily. In his eyes, Xiao Feng was already a fish on the chopping block as they slaughtered him!


    "What a joke, are you really stupid or just faking it? Will he help you? If he wanted to help you, he would have had the time to do so before I crippled you.


    Xiao Feng looked at Liu Jin with sympathy, not forgetting to sow discord.


    "Big brother? "You ¡­"


    "Humph, what a sharp-tongued kid. Even at this time, you still didn''t forget to sow discord!"


    Liu Yang let out a cold snort and the corner of his mouth curled into a cold smile. An icy cold aura enveloped Xiao Feng as he moved his feet and charged towards Xiao Feng!

 C18

    All these years, Liu Jin had brought him quite a lot of trouble. Now that he had already been promoted to the elder disciple, if Liu Jin was allowed to clean up the mess like before, he would definitely drag him down!


    However, thinking this way was seen through by Xiao Feng with a single sentence. A trace of killing intent also rose in his heart!


    "Hehe!"


    Xiao Feng lowered his head and laughed, revealing a trace of a crafty smile. His eyes flashed with a cold light!


    With his hands behind his back, Xiao Feng stood where he was and looked at Liu Yang with a calm expression!


    "Haha, so this kid had a big nose and was pretending. I''m afraid he has been scared silly by Senior Martial Brother Liu!"


    "Yes, he is still just a beginner disciple after all. He doesn''t know his place. He thinks that he can be lawless just because he has some ability. It wouldn''t be too much for Brother Liu to teach him a lesson!"


    Behind Liu Yang, the few people he brought along began to whisper among themselves. They looked at Xiao Feng with playful expressions and a playful expression!


    Only the little ghost and the few people behind Xiao Feng could tell that the current Xiao Feng seemed to be slightly different from the Xiao Feng of a few days ago. Although he was still at the late perfection stage, it was still difficult to conceal the sharpness he emitted!


    Humph!]


    Liu Yang let out a cold laugh as he conjured a Spirit Origin tempest, his palm slamming down on Xiao Feng''s head!


    Xiao Feng''s expression was calm as he lifted his head to look at the descending palm. A cold light flashed in his eyes as he lifted his right hand slightly and pushed out a flat palm.


    Ka-cha


    A thick azure dragon aura gushed out of his right hand, turning into a violent storm and sent Liu Yang flying! He unsteadily landed on the ground and retreated a few steps before stopping!


    He even moved his body!


    "How is this possible? How can his spirit energy be so dense? Even I can''t compare to such a spirit energy!"


    Liu Yang''s heart trembled as he stared at Xiao Feng in disbelief.


    "What?! He actually repelled senior brother Liu Yang with one palm!"


    The people who were originally intending to watch the show immediately exclaimed in surprise. They rubbed their eyes with all their might and looked at the young and tender figure in disbelief!


    "I''ll give you a chance to use your strongest attack. You might lose a bit of face, or you won''t have a chance!"


    Xiao Feng faintly smiled and raised his head to look at Liu Yang. His ice-cold voice couldn''t help but cause everyone to feel a chill down their spines as they blankly stared at him!


    "Is this really a thirteen or fourteen-year-old kid?" How can I feel an unprecedented sharpness and sharpness from his body! "


    Although Liu Yang was surprised, he was, after all, someone who could be promoted to an elder disciple.


    However, in the next moment, he rejected the idea in his mind. How powerful could a little kid like him be? A dignified disciple of an elder, an expert in the middle stage of the Sea Cleaving Stage. How could he possibly be afraid of him?


    "Phew ¡­"


    Taking a deep breath, Liu Yang locked onto Xiao Feng with a serious expression. Even though he was proud, he could feel the thorny problem from the exchange just now!


    Ka-cha, Ka-cha.


    Along with the circulation of the spirit essence around Liu Yang''s body, the majestic spirit essence began to emit sounds like thunder. Streaks of silver lightning continued to weave through the spirit essence!


    Thunder Palm


    An enormous thunderous roar resounded throughout the entire arena. Liu Yang''s entire body seemed to be bathed in endless lightning as his hands formed a seal. A giant palm appeared from the thunderclouds and went straight for the top of Xiao Feng''s head!


    Thunder flashed, lightning snakes twined, and a domineering aura instantly enveloped the entire arena!


    "This is Senior Martial Brother Liu''s Thunder Palm, that is a low grade Profound Rank battle skill. The strength displayed is not that much weaker than a middle grade Profound Rank battle skill. Who would have thought that this brat really has some skills and actually forced Senior Martial Brother Liu to use this move!"


    A surprised voice was heard from the crowd, causing everyone''s expression to turn cold. He looked at the two of them with a grave expression. It was obvious that Xiao Feng''s strength had already surpassed their imagination!


    "But no matter how strong he is, when faced with the full strength of Senior Brother Liu, his arrogance will probably end here!"


    A wave of whispers came over, especially after hearing the high grade Profound Rank battle skill, the expressions of the little ghost behind Xiao Feng immediately changed! They all knew that a low-grade Profound Rank battle skill was something that only the disciples and elders could learn!


    "Youngest junior brother, be careful!"


    The little ghost resisted the pain and shouted at Xiao Feng.


    "A child''s play, how dare you take it out and embarrass yourself!"


    Xiao Feng snorted coldly as the corners of his mouth curled into a mocking smile.


    hyperbolic regret


    Facing the powerful Liu Yang, Xiao Feng''s expression did not change. He formed a seal with his hands and a powerful force that was not weaker than Liu Yang shot into the sky, releasing a might that overflowed into the heavens!


    "What, this battle skill ¡­" "Impossible!"


    Just as Proud Dragon Repents rushed out, Liu Yang''s expression immediately changed. Shock quickly crawled onto his face! This was because he could feel that this battle skill was definitely stronger than his own!


    "Not good, I''ve kicked an iron plate this time!" This damned Liujin! " Liu Yang''s vicious gaze swept past Liu Jin. He couldn''t wait to strangle Liu Jin to death!


    BOOM *


    A loud explosive sound resounded throughout the backyard. The azure dragon''s aura in Xiao Feng''s palm was suffused with it. He changed his hand seal and the Earth Splitting Palm was immediately pushed down as if it was stimulated.


    Liu Yang''s expression changed yet again as the spirit energy around him swiftly rushed upwards and continuously poured. However, he was still unable to block Xiao Feng''s devastating attack!


    "How is this possible? He knows that a puny brat at the late stage of the Nascent Profound Realm can grasp such a powerful battle skill!"


    "Yeah, even if he mastered it, he wouldn''t have enough spirit essence to use it. Could it be that this guy is a monster?"


    Seeing Liu Yang teetering on the verge of collapse, discussions broke out below him! The expressions of everyone present couldn''t help but change when they saw the adept Xiao Feng!


    breakage


    Regardless of what expressions the crowd had, Xiao Feng uttered a cold voice. Liu Yang''s Thunder Palm finally failed to withstand it and shattered with a loud bang! It turned into fragments of spirit essence that filled the sky before dissipating!


    Proud Dragon Repents slammed down with the remnant dragon aura. The entire backyard suddenly shook as if an earthquake had occurred. Everyone felt as if they were staggering and almost couldn''t stand properly! It stirred up a cloud of dust!


    As the dust settled, a huge palm imprint was imprinted into the eyes of everyone present. The eyes of everyone present immediately froze. Such a powerful battle skill was indeed shockingly powerful!


    "It''s Liu Yang!"


    Just as everyone was astonished, some sharp-eyed people suddenly exclaimed. A miserable figure slowly climbed up from the huge palm!


    Liu Yang spat out a mouthful of blood. His entire aura was extremely sluggish, and his body was covered in blood. He staggered and almost lost his balance!

 C19

    Xiao Feng was not surprised by such an outcome. One had to know that Proud Dragon Repents was a battle skill of the Dragon Drawing Arts. Its level of power was not something one could imagine!


    "You lost!"


    A calm voice rang out under the shocked gazes of the crowd. Xiao Feng was still standing with his hands behind his back. From start to finish, his feet hadn''t even moved a single step!


    "Good, good, good. Indeed, the younger generations are formidable. I, Liu Yang, admit defeat today. However, this matter is not that easy to forget!"


    Liu Yang coughed lightly as more blood flowed out of his mouth. He stared at Xiao Feng with a sinister gaze as he slowly said this.


    "If you have any tricks up your sleeves, then come at me. I, Xiao Feng, will accept them all. However, if you let me know that someone is attacking any of the brothers here, then don''t blame me for being merciless!"


    Xiao Feng calmly looked at Liu Yang as he arrogantly responded. However, after he finished speaking, an ice-cold chill abruptly descended from the sky. A boundless killing intent seemed to have materialized, enveloping everyone present!


    "This... "Is this even a thirteen-fourteen year old boy? How much bloodlust did he experience in order to obtain such killing intent?"


    Everyone felt as if they had been stuck in a swamp. A sense of dread rose up in their hearts. They only felt a faint chill on their backs as all the hairs on their bodies stood on end!


    Roll


    Without waiting for Liu Yang''s response, Xiao Feng''s loud and clear voice boomed from his throat. A majestic dragon aura followed the voice and exploded onto Liu Yang''s body. Like a cannonball, Liu Yang was directly blasted out of the backyard!


    His cold gaze swept across the crowd brought by Liu Yang. His sharp gaze was like a sharp blade that scraped across everyone''s face. Everyone immediately shivered as they picked up Liu Jin and ran out of the backyard.


    As they left, the icy cold chilliness that roiled around Xiao Feng''s body suddenly vanished like smoke in thin air. The entire backyard was instantly restored to a bright state. The warm temperature was slowly recovering!


    "Senior Brother, are you alright?"


    Xiao Feng turned around and pulled up the little child who was sitting on the ground. The bloody killing intent in his eyes was no longer there. Instead, it was replaced with a trace of a young and gentle gaze!


    "No ¡­." "It''s nothing, it''s nothing ¡­"


    The little child, who was still in shock, suddenly regained his senses. He looked at the gentle Xiao Feng in front of him and seemed to be slightly afraid.


    "Is everyone alright? Today, it was my, Xiao Feng''s, fault that I brought trouble to everyone, so everyone can be at ease. This kind of thing will never happen again. When I get the chance, I will definitely give some compensation to my fellow seniors! "


    Xiao Feng cupped his fists to the crowd behind him and said apologetically. Due to his own problem, so many people had followed him and met with misfortune. Even though he had no conscience, he felt a little apologetic in his heart!


    As they looked at Xiao Feng, who seemed like a completely different person from before, everyone couldn''t help but have a strange feeling in their hearts. Having powerful strength but never overbearing and arrogant, this was their respect towards the strong and their respect from the bottom of their hearts!


    "Youngest junior brother is too polite. Liu Jin and Liu Yang have been domineering amongst us for so many years, but no one has been able to treat them." Now that the young junior has vented his anger for us, how can you still be so courteous? "


    Some of the people in the crowd had smiles on their faces as they cupped their fists towards Xiao Feng.


    "Senior Brother, I am Xiao Feng, the youngest junior brother of everyone!" "Don''t be like this, how am I supposed to follow you around like this in the future?"


    Xiao Feng smiled slightly and shifted his gaze to the little ghost. He seemed to be able to see through the little ghost''s misgivings. He patted the little ghost''s shoulder and teased, his warm smile giving people a warm feeling.


    Seeing the gentle Xiao Feng, the little ghost slowly extended his hand and carefully patted it. The worry in his heart slowly disappeared!


    "You have gone too far. First Elder, I''m afraid that you must give me an explanation for this matter. Otherwise, this old man will not let this matter rest!"


    In the main hall of the Cloud Returning Sword Sect, a fire red haired old man had a gloomy expression as he directly shattered the armrest of his chair, forcefully suppressing the anger within his body as he roared at Liang Ren.


    Just now, he had received news that his disciple, Liu Yang, who he had just taken in, had actually been injured by someone. Some people''s cultivation had even been abolished, and the creator of all of this was actually the last disciple brought back by the Great Elder ten days ago!


    "Second Elder, this matter has yet to be discussed and investigated. From the looks of it now, it is still too early to say who is in the right and who is in the wrong!" Liang Ren said with a faint smile as he stroked his long beard.


    "Bullshit, who''s right and who''s wrong, who''s right and who''s wrong after being beaten up like that, don''t you know?" If you do not give me an explanation today, I will not rest! "


    Second Elder Chu Lie originally had a fiery temper. Because of his temper, he didn''t have many disciples. It wasn''t easy for him to get Liu Yang, who had decent talent, to be beaten up like this in just a few days.


    Second Elder, what''s the situation here? I suggest that you go down to the other disciples and learn about it first before you punish them. Also, when seniors exchange pointers with each other, it is inevitable that some injuries will occur.


    Liang Ren wasn''t that narrow-minded. However, this Xiao Feng wasn''t someone who was easy to deal with. He had only been here for a few days and had already caused so much trouble for him. It was precisely because of this that he had his eyes on him!


    "Alright, alright, alright. I will remember what First Elder said. Since First Elder has said so, then I have nothing to say. If any problems appear in the future, this old man will remember the attitude of First Elder!"


    Chu Lie was so angry that his beard was blown and his eyes were wide open. Instead of being angry, he was smiling. His face was ashen as he spoke to Liang Ren. He flung his sleeves and sat down!


    "Alright, alright. Stop arguing. We are all on the same side. I will investigate this matter thoroughly. Elders, don''t hurt our relationship!" At the top of the grand hall, Sect Master Mo Wentian rubbed his temples as he slowly spoke.


    "That''s right. This time, Sect Master has called us here to discuss the sect competition two months from now. We want to fight someone from the participating countries. Elders, please be patient!" Third Elder Tang Shan chuckled. Fourth Elder Tian Meng, who was behind him, also nodded in agreement!


    "Great Clan Elder, how is Zhou Jian''s injury? This time''s national tournament, I''m afraid that Zhou Jian will be under a lot of pressure! " Mo Wentian glanced at Liang Ren as he spoke with a serious expression.


    Replying to Sect Leader, after consuming the Raging Python Bile, Jian''er''s injuries have mostly recovered, and I believe it won''t be long before he will recover completely. Furthermore, that beast''s snake gall contains most of its spirit energy, and Jian''er has also benefited from it.


    "Good, if Zhou Jian can step into the Weapon Condensation Realm before the National War, then the overall strength of our Cloud Returning Sword Sect will increase by another level!" Mo Wentian nodded his head in satisfaction. He had seen Zhou Jian''s talent before, and it was indeed not bad. However after a long sigh, the light in his eyes dimmed once more!

 C20

    "Reporting to Sect Leader, Divine Path Sect, Ten Thousand Beast Valley''s Free and Unrestrained Sect, the three sects have suddenly descended upon the sect and found themselves outside of the sect. I hope that Sect Master and the few elders can enlighten me!"


    At this moment, a disciple hurriedly ran into the great hall and greeted Mo Wentian.


    "Divine Path Sect, why did the Free and Unrestrained Faction and the Ten Thousand Beast Valley suddenly come to my Cloud Sword Sect?" Liang Ren frowned slightly as he spoke with a slight sense of unease in his heart.


    "Hmph, the date of the national war has not arrived yet. These bastards must have come to flaunt their strength and bully my Cloud Returning Sword Sect. This old man will go out and fight them!"


    Chu Lie originally had a fiery temper. Although he didn''t have any good feelings towards Liang Ren, towards the matters of the sect, he immediately became extremely angry. He slammed the table and jumped up as he shouted.


    "Hey, Second Elder, the guests are all guests. Let''s go out and see what they want to do. We can just adapt to the situation when the time comes!"


    Mo Wentian furrowed his brows, bad intentions could be seen in his heart. This matter had already happened quite a few times to the Cloud Returning Sword Sect, but his sect was no match for them!


    "Sigh, if Shang were not here, how could our Cloud Returning Sword Sect be at such a level?!"


    When Lin Wushang was mentioned, several elders'' eyes flashed with sighs and they all shook their heads. This former number one genius of the Cloud Returning Sword Sect had, for some reason, disappeared without a trace five years ago!


    "Hmph, if Wushang is still here, why would it be their turn to clamor!" Chu Lie flew into a rage and came to the mountain gate with the others!


    "I didn''t know that the few of you would be here today. Please forgive me!" Mo Wentian had a smile on his face as he clasped his fists towards the group of people from the sect.


    With the arrival of the three great sects, the entire Cloud Returning Sword Sect swiftly swept out like a torrential storm. Many disciples gathered at the entrance to the sect to see what was happening!


    "Sect Head Mo, long time no see, how have you been!" The man in the lead, carrying a long sword on his back, lightly waved it and cupped his hands towards Mo Wentian. Although he was returning the gesture, his eyes were filled with arrogance and disdain!


    "Hahaha, Daoist Priest Li of the Divine Dao Sect sure enough has the demeanor of a Taoist. It''s been a long time since I last saw him!" Before Mo Wentian could say anything, Chu Lie was already unable to hold back his temper and mocked.


    "Hehe, Second Madman Chu is still as crazy as ever. I wonder if his strength is the same as back then when he was beaten up."


    Beside Daoist Priest Li, a short man dressed in an azure long robe sneered. His face was full of ridicule as he smiled at Chu Lie. His words were filled with provocation!


    "Sigh, it is rumored that both the two elders Xiao Yao and Xiao Xun possess outstanding martial skills and talents. Seeing Elder Yao today is indeed not as good as seeing him in hundreds of times. I apologize for my disrespect!" Liang Ren also took a step forward and lightly smiled. His words caused the surrounding disciples that were spectating to burst out in laughter!


    Elder Yao''s face was ashen, and the corners of his mouth were trembling like an earthquake as he looked angrily at Liang Ren. The two Elders of the Free and Unrestrained Sects, Xiao and Xiao, were tall and powerful, while he, Elder Yao, was born with a dwarf and was incomparably ugly.


    "Why are you laughing? Do you believe that I won''t let you all laugh? "Liang Ren, if you''re capable, come out and fight. What kind of man are you?"


    "Right, the reason we''re here this time is to see the strength of the Guiyun Sword Sect in advance, in case we lose face for our four great sects on the day of the national war!"


    Next to Old Yao, a tall and muscular man stepped forward and said without hesitation, "Ten Thousand Beast Sect''s Second Head, Xiong Shan!"


    "So what? I''m not afraid of you!" Chu Lie was like an angry wild beast, his entire body emitting a boundless fighting intent. The provocation just now from Old Yao had already made him burn with anger!


    "Hey, Second Elder, don''t be rash. I believe that you all have not come that far for the sake of a war of words. May I ask what you all wish to say?"


    Mo Wentian furrowed his brows as he pulled Chu Lie back. After which, he stared at the three of them with a profound gaze.


    Dao Elder Li laughed and nodded, "That''s right, Sect Head Mo is indeed wise, it''s easier to communicate with these boorish men than with other boorish men!" As he spoke, he turned his gaze onto Chu Lie!


    "What did you say? If you dare, say it again. I, your father, will definitely turn you, a smelly Daoist, into a yellow haired pig!" Chu Lie flew into a rage as he stared at Daoist Priest Li with flames in his eyes!


    "This time, the Divine Path Sect, Free and Unrestrained Faction, and Ten Thousand Beast Valley have brought three talented disciples from their respective sects. They want to exchange pointers with the young genius from the Gui Yun Sect, so that they won''t lose face when they participate in the country wars in the future!"


    As he spoke, the nine extraordinary youths behind him stood up as they stared arrogantly at Mo Wentian and the rest, with no hints of a junior!


    "Sure enough! Every teacher has a disciple, and every cultivator has a decent appearance, and every person has cheap bones!" Liang Ren sneered. These disciples were indeed taught to him by these old fellows. They hadn''t learned anything yet, but they had learned how to put on airs and show off their strength!


    "Oh, really? Then, we, these lowly disciples, will have to trouble Elder Liang to teach us properly! " The corners of Daoist Priest Li''s mouth lifted as he glanced disdainfully at Liang Ren before tilting his head to the side!


    "You bastards, the disciples of the Cloud Returning Sword Sect are no match for your talents. When you attack, be careful not to kill anyone. Otherwise, this old man will not spare you!"


    Elder Yao also chuckled as he turned his head towards the nine people and pretended to be serious. A cold light flashed in his eyes as he nodded to them!


    Mo Wentian and the elders exchanged glances, they could see the heaviness in each other''s eyes. They must have come prepared!


    "How is it? Did no one from the Cloud Returning Sword Sect dare to fight him? Such a person who lives up to his name and is also called one of the Four Major Sects, this is simply a disgrace! "


    "If no one is going to fight, then there''s no need to force anyone into a corner. Elder, please say something to the Sect Master. The Cloud Returning Sword Sect is willing to admit defeat, we will absolutely not say anything!"


    After a while, all the disciples of the Cloud Returning Sword Sect who were watching looked at each other. Not a single one of them stepped forward to fight because the weakest among the nine of them was at the middle stage of the Sea Opening Realm. There were even some at the peak of the Sea Opening Realm.


    Mo Wentian and the other elders looked at each other and sighed. The disciples of this generation were all low-grade seedlings with poor talent. How could they accept this challenge!


    "Hahaha, I say Sect Head Mo, don''t tell me that the Gui Yun Sect doesn''t have a single disciple that can take on this challenge? It seems like this Gui Yun Sect is only so-so! "


    "Since that''s the case, this old man still wants to ask, in the national war three months from now, just who exactly is from the Guiyun Sword Sect. At that time, don''t embarrass our four great sects, and it''s best that we leave as soon as possible!"

 C21

    Elder Yao sneered as he walked out. He was singing the same tune as Daoist Priest Li, causing Liang Ren and the others to turn cold!


    "The Cloud Returning Sword Sect has no real name, and is purely a motley crowd. Fighting with them would only insult our hands. Let''s go!"


    Amongst the nine people, a young man was carrying a sword. He swept a disdainful gaze at the disciples of the Cloud Returning Sword Sect and loudly ridiculed them without any hesitation, causing all the disciples present to lower their heads in shame!


    The rest of them nodded their heads. Their faces were filled with ridicule and a disdainful smile. They turned around and left, looking like they had returned victorious!


    "You''ve gone too far! I''m Li Qing, I''m here to experience some of your moves!" At this moment, a cold snort sounded out from the crowd. A 15 to 16 year old youth was seen flying over with a sword in his hand!


    "Li Qing, Third Elder, Li Qing is your disciple, right?" His strength? " Mo Wentian was also shocked by Li Qing''s sudden appearance. Li Qing was only at the early stage of the Sea Opening Realm, yet he actually dared to come out and accept the challenge!


    The Third Elder nodded with a wry smile. Although Li Qing had overestimated his own capabilities, he still revealed a pleased smile on his face. Compared to the cowards hiding behind him, Li Qing was already considered a hero!


    "Heh, a mere early stage Sea Opening Realm actually dares to jump out? Is the Guiyun Sword Sect really so weak?" A youth with muscles all over his body snickered. His bronze colored skin surged with extraordinary strength as he taunted, "Ten Thousand Beast Gate''s Tower!"


    "So what if it''s the Cloud Returning Sword Sect? They are all Li Qing''s disciples. If their sect is in trouble, even if Li Qing overestimates himself, he will still spare no effort in protecting their honor!"


    Li Qing held his sword horizontally as his heroic spirit soared into the sky. The sword light around his body slowly rippled outwards. He was filled with a sense of righteousness, and his body instantly grew several times taller than it had been before he died!


    "Good, good, good!" The Third Elder''s tears were streaming down his face. He wiped them away and said three ''good''. After this battle, no matter what the result was, Li Qing had already played a decisive role in his heart!


    "Good, what a great honor to protect our sect. Third Elder, after this battle, Li Qing will be a disciple that the Gui Yun Sect nurtures with all their might!" Mo Wen Tian was moved by Li Qing''s imposing manner and immediately gave the order.


    "Shameless boasting, you want to be a hero, but you''re not qualified!" Tie Ta disdainfully snorted, raised his hammer-like fist, and smashed it towards Li Qing. He was undoubtedly at the middle stage of the sea realm!


    Clang, clang, the fist and sword collided, and a violent and savage power flowed through Tie Ta''s arm into the sword. Li Qing''s expression changed, his hand went numb for a moment, and he almost dropped his sword!


    "Shua, shua, shua, shua." Li Qing evaded the iron fists with his quick and nimble sword moves. His sword moved sideways, attacking a few important areas of the tower at a strange angle.


    Hmph, Tie Ta was an expert in physical strength. His speed was weak to begin with. Now that he had been caught unprepared by Li Qing''s moves, he felt as if he had been mocked by his opponent. His heart was completely enraged!


    Sky Breaking Fist! A punch was thrown out, and a bronze fist quickly condensed into a fist print. It rushed towards Li Qing with an irresistible force. This punch contained all the power of a mid stage Sea Cleaving cultivator. It was not something Li Qing could withstand!


    The few elders'' expressions changed. With a single punch, Li Qing would definitely lose. The expression on his face rapidly darkened!


    "Puchi!" As expected, the Sky Breaking Fist broke through everything. Even if Li Qing used all his strength, he was still unable to withstand this terrifying force. He was sent flying by the punch and coughed out a mouthful of blood!


    "Humph, not even one hit!" Tie Ta''s expression was cold. If there hadn''t been so many people present, he would have mercilessly stepped on Li Qing''s head just now when he was teasing him with his movement technique!


    "Arrogant, big stupid person. Let me experience a few of your moves!" Just as Tie Ta was about to turn around, another sound rang out. Liu Yang slowly walked out of the crowd and smiled mockingly at Tie Ta!


    "What did you call me? Say that again if you have the guts? " If Li Qing had only angered Tie Ta, then the word ''big'' Liu Yang had directly angered him. Because he cultivated his body, he hated people who were said to be simple-minded and had well-developed limbs!


    "Isn''t it? "Look at you, you are even older than your peers here. If you aren''t a big guy, then what are you?" Liu Yang wasn''t afraid of Tie Ta. Although he hadn''t fully recovered from his injuries, he was still at the middle stage of the Sea Opening Realm. He had the right to face Tie Ta!


    "Very well, you will pay the price for your words!" Tie Ta''s face was grim. He was like a crazed magical beast as he stared at Liu Yang with his bloodthirsty eyes!


    Dong dong dong. The sound of his feet hitting the ground was like an earthquake. Tie Ta was like a crazed black bear as he charged at Liu Yang, bronze colored lights circulating all over his body.


    Liu Yang sneered and exerted force with his feet. His body instantly flashed forward and appeared beside Tie Ta with an extremely quick and graceful speed. His palm struck down at Tie Ta!


    "Roar!" Tie Ta sensed danger and let out an angry roar. His entire body glowed with light, and the deep light pushed his defense to its limits. He actually ignored Liu Yang''s palm and stretched out a pair of giant palms towards Liu Yang!


    Peng, a palm landed on Tie Ta''s body, and the bronze colored light instantly dispersed. Tie Ta''s tall body trembled, but it was only a single strike, causing Liu Yang''s expression to drastically change!


    Just as he was about to turn around and retreat, Tie Ta''s iron-clawed hands had already grabbed his neck, causing his face to turn purple!


    Phew, the hammer-like fist in his right hand produced a whizzing sound as Tie Ta threw a punch at Liu Yang''s face. This punch was at least several hundred pounds of strength!


    "Be careful!" Chu Lie shouted. Liu Yang''s appearance had already exceeded his expectations. He did not expect that the situation would be reversed in an instant. Liu Yang had fallen into a crisis!


    Peng! A fist struck Liu Yang''s face without any hesitation. Liu Yang''s entire face was instantly distorted by the impact and he spat out a mouthful of blood. With a few white teeth, he fell to the ground like a cannonball!


    Dong dong dong. Liu Yang landed on the ground, dying. However, Tie Ta didn''t give up. He stepped on the ground and charged at Liu Yang. He had said that he would make Liu Yang pay!


    "Stop!" "Bastard!" The faces of the few elders changed as they bellowed and tried to stop Tie Ta''s punch. Liu Yang would have died if he had not been struck!


    However, just as they were about to make their move, Daoist Priest Li and Elder Yao instantly appeared in front of them.


    "What, we''ve already said this in advance. If you can''t beat us, then admit defeat. You haven''t admitted defeat on the field yet. Elders, are you trying to break the rules?" Elder Yao sneered. Looking at his opponent''s ashen face, he felt a sense of pride in his heart!


    "You ¡­" Chu Lie was infuriated to the point of being speechless. Seeing the iron fist that was about to land on Liu Yang''s head, the anger in his heart was about to explode!

 C22

    "Hehe, the Cloud Returning Sword Sect, can''t even take a single blow!"


    "That''s right, I''ll show you how big the gap is between you and us. You even dare to be called as one of the Four Major Sects with us!"


    "Kill them to set an example. Kill one of them and make them dare to spout such arrogant words in the future!"


    None of the people from the three sects sympathized. They only sneered, sneered, and looked at all of this arrogantly as if it was natural!


    The iron fists whistled through the air, carrying with them the power of a thousand kilograms as they landed on Liu Yang''s head. The faces of everyone from the Gui Yun Sword Sect changed drastically as they all closed their eyes, not daring to look at this bloody side!


    However, after a long time, there was still no sound of Liu Yang''s miserable cries. He couldn''t help but open his eyes to take a look, and once he did, he could no longer shift his gaze away!


    At this moment, the iron fist was only two centimeters away from Liu Yang. Tie Ta''s iron fist was clenched tightly in a slender hand. No matter how he struggled, he didn''t move at all!


    "Who is he? How come I have never seen it before? "


    "That''s right, he doesn''t seem to be one of us from the Cloud Returning Sword Sect, right? Where did you come from? "


    "You don''t know him? "He is Xiao Feng, the person who had beaten Liu Yang so badly not long ago. He is Elder Liang''s new disciple ¡­"


    The crowd immediately exploded at this strange sight. Just what kind of power was it that could cause Tie Ta to remain completely still in his hands? One had to know that they had just witnessed Tie Ta''s strength with their own eyes!


    "Feng''er!" Liang Ren was shocked and couldn''t help but shout out loud. Mo Wentian, Chu Lie, and the others also looked at him in confusion before looking at the youngster in the middle of the field! This is his new disciple, Xiao Feng? "


    "Aren''t you being a little too ruthless?" Xiao Feng smiled faintly as his right hand lifted up Tie Ta''s hand like a toy. Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, he pulled on Tie Ta''s hand and walked over.


    "Who are you?" Tie Ta''s heart was in turmoil. With his physical strength and his physical strength, he could easily kill even the weaker Class 2 Magical Beasts in his hands, yet he was unable to move even an inch in front of this seemingly weak youth!


    "I am Xiao Feng, a disciple of the Cloud Returning Sword Sect!" Xiao Feng casually let go of Tie Ta, but Tie Ta almost stumbled on the spot. Just as he was about to use the python''s corpse to refine his body, he was interrupted by a sudden provocation!


    "Good, good kung fu, you just ambushed me. Since I wasn''t prepared, let''s fight again!" Tie Ta''s voice was muffled by his throat. He was originally a fighter, and coupled with the fact that his opponent''s physical body was not weaker than his own, this had aroused his fighting spirit!


    Xiao Feng frowned slightly. He had just witnessed the other party''s overbearing attitude and felt extremely disgusted at it, especially at the Cloud Returning Sword Sect''s contempt. Even a few disciples were being so rude to his master and the others, which made him even angrier!


    He turned his head and looked towards Liang Ren and the others, expressing that he wanted to ask for their opinion. Liang Ren laughed and shouted at Xiao Feng, "Do it! Don''t worry about it! Do it boldly!"


    With regards to Liang Ren''s attitude, Mo Wentian and the few elders were all confused. Only Chu Lie was staring at Xiao Feng with shining eyes. It was him who beat Liu Yang into such a state. He really wasn''t simple!


    Xiao Feng nodded his head. With Liang Ren''s words, he was relieved. He turned around and looked at Tie Ta and the others.


    "Since the few of you have already taken the limelight just now, let''s see what you can do next!" Xiao Feng cupped his fists towards them as he spoke in a clear voice.


    "Hmph, yet another one who doesn''t know his place. He''s merely at the early stage of the Sea Cleaving stage, yet he dares to jump out and seek death. Does he really think that blocking one of Tie Ta''s punches would be so amazing?"


    "Are all the Guiyun Sword Sect disciples overconfident and arrogant?" The few people behind Tie Ta looked at Xiao Feng with disdain as they ridiculed him.


    Xiao Feng laughed coldly in his heart. "Alright, since everyone wants to play, we might as well play to our heart''s content. How about we increase the stakes?" Xiao Feng laughed loudly and suddenly said as he waved his robe.


    "What kind of bet?" Elder Yao''s interest was piqued the moment Xiao Feng appeared and he couldn''t help but ask.


    "It''s very simple. I''m here to seek your advice. If your disciples lose, then please come out of the Cloud Returning Sword Sect and crawl back out!" Xiao Feng''s words shocked everyone; even Liang Ren, Mo Wentian, and the others were stunned on the spot!


    "This... This... "Great Elder, this ¡­" Mo Wentian had a strange expression on his face as he stared at Liang Ren. This disciple of his was simply too incredible. He didn''t even bring a rough draft when boasting. Was he trying to scare people to death?!


    "I say, old man Liang, I admit that this brat can defeat Liu Yang, but this ¡­ "This is too arrogant, isn''t it? His opponent has a total of nine Sea Cleaving cultivators ¡­" Chu Lie was so shocked that his mouth was wide open. He stammered as he looked at Liang Ren. There was no need to mention the other two elders!


    "This boy ¡­" Liang Ren also bitterly smiled as he shook his head. This brat was really too good at giving him face. He was unable to react in time. He had truly gone too far!


    "Hahaha, good, what big words you have there, what an arrogant brat, where did you get the confidence to be so arrogant? Who gave you the courage! "


    Elder Yao was also stunned for a moment. When he recovered, he was angered to the point of laughing. These were the most arrogant words he had ever heard in his life!


    "Sigh, the Cloud Returning Sword Sect is doomed to die. What kind of disciples are they teaching?!" Li Daoyi also sneered and calmly sighed.


    "Cut the crap! Tie Ta, hammer him to death!" Xiong Shan also had a stomach full of fire. This was the first time someone dared to speak to them in such a manner, and it was also the first time someone dared to provoke the three great sects at the same time.


    "I''m asking everyone, do you dare to accept?" Xiao Feng laughed out loud. His sharp gaze looked past the few people as his domineering voice resounded within the crowd!


    "He must have gone mad. He''s really arrogant to the extreme. Does he really think that he can go against the rules after defeating Liu Yang ¡­"


    "I wonder what point Elder Liang has taken a liking to him, to actually accept him as a disciple?"


    "Alright, lower your voice. We''re now trying to bring honor to the sect. Why don''t you go up and fight yourself? Why are you still talking about others here? You say that it''s not certain that others have the strength to do so?"


    Amongst the crowd, this was the first time Xiao Feng had used his unbridled arrogance to leave an impression on everyone. Waves of discussions rose and fell as Xiao Feng stood proudly under various gazes!


    "Alright, this old man will accept your challenge. If you lose, what will happen?" Elder Yao was extremely angered by Xiao Feng and the rage in his heart reached its peak as he coldly replied.


    "If I lose, I can do whatever I want!" Xiao Feng waved his hand and turned around to stand in front of Tie Ta, facing him!


    "Alright, teach this arrogant fellow a lesson. There''s no need to show him any mercy!" The three of them spoke fiercely to their disciples.

 C23

    "You have a chance to strike me with all your might. If you can make me retreat half a step, then consider it my loss!" Xiao Feng calmly looked at Tie Ta and swung his robe. His voice was flat and it was hard to conceal the edge of his voice!


    "You''re courting death!" Tie Ta was instantly enraged as he was provoked again and again. He was really angry! He was crazy! He mustered all the strength in his body and threw a punch at Xiao Feng!


    This punch contained the power of a thousand kilograms. It produced a sound as it pierced through the air, and bright light swirled around it. If he used his full strength, even a boulder the height of a person would probably be completely crushed!


    Xiao Feng calmly took a horse stance and calmly looked at Tie Ta, allowing Tie Ta''s fist to continuously widen in his pupils. The wind from his fist caused his hair to dance in the wind!


    "So he''s just a pig with a snout stuck in its head. He''s just putting on an act. I wonder what sort of thing that is, he''s dead for sure!" Xiong Shan looked at Tie Ta''s punch and nodded his head in satisfaction. He could already imagine what Xiao Feng would be like next!


    Tie Ta roared. Just as the iron fist was about to land on Xiao Feng''s face, Xiao Feng moved. He also threw out a punch, but it was nothing compared to Tie Ta''s.


    Boom! As their fists collided, a terrifying force instantly rippled outwards with the two of them as the center. Xiao Feng was still in his horse stance and did not move at all. Tie Ta''s fist was motionless on his hand.


    With a loud shout, the azure dragon aura within Xiao Feng''s body surged out and rushed into Tie Ta''s body along his arm. A wave of energy that was many times more tyrannical than his body crushed his body like rotten weeds!


    Ah! Tie Ta let out a miserable howl, and suddenly, his arm became distorted. The crisp sound of bones breaking could be heard, and at the same time, his huge body was repelled back like a cannonball!


    "No, no, impossible, impossible ¡­" Tie Ta spat out a mouthful of blood, which was mixed with some of his internal organs. Soon after, he fainted under the panic-stricken gaze.


    Gasps sounded out one after another. Everyone used an incredulous gaze to look at Xiao Feng, who was still in the horse stance. His domineering and arrogant words just now seemed to echo in their ears!


    "Hiss ¡­" Good, good fellow, well done! " The few elders, including Mo Wentian, stared at Xiao Feng in shock, their eyes filled with disbelief!


    This was especially so for Liang Ren. Turbulent waves surged through his heart. It had only been a short time, but his strength and cultivation had increased by so much. A monster! An absolute monster!


    "Good, good, good fight ¡­" The crowd also erupted into cheers. Xiao Feng''s punch had completely sent the humiliation that the Cloud Returning Sword Sect had just endured back home!


    "Good boy, so he is also a pig tiger that cultivates the body. It seems that I have really underestimated him!" Elder Yao''s face was ashen red. The words he had just said were still in his mouth, but Xiao Feng had used his actions to slap his face loudly!


    "Don''t worry master, Tie Ta is only at the middle stage of the Sea Opening Realm. I don''t believe that he''s a martial arts master. I won''t let him off easy!"


    As if he had seen Elder Yao''s displeasure, the three disciples under him spoke to him in a soft voice, and their words revealed their disdain and coldness towards Xiao Feng!


    "Your excellency, you''re quite skilled. I''m Wang Qing. Next, let me experience a few of your moves!" The old disciple jumped out and waved his spear as he spoke to Xiao Feng.


    "Just you alone?" Xiao Feng put away his horse stance and asked him in a soft voice, causing him to be stunned on the spot for a moment.


    "What do you mean?"


    "It''s nothing. You''re just too weak, so you don''t want to waste your time. All eight of you can come at once!"


    "Hua!" Xiao Feng''s words stirred up a thousand ripples. His words immediately ignited the atmosphere of everyone present and they all looked at him as if they were looking at a monster. This guy, each time, his expectations became fiercer than the last!


    "Bastard, you''re courting death!" Wang Qing''s face was ashen. He didn''t know if Xiao Feng could hit that many. He only knew that Xiao Feng was humiliating him, looking down on him, and thrusting the long spear in his hand forward!


    Ding, the long spear was like a dragon, releasing a sharp aura from the tip of the spear, causing Xiao Feng''s face to feel pain. He grabbed the long spear with one hand and revolved along the spear''s body, hitting Wang Qing''s chest with the other.


    "Too weak, couldn''t even take one hit!" Xiao Feng swung his robe and laughed loudly. He returned the words the other party said to the Gui Yun Sect back to him!


    Like a clear and loud slap, Xiao Feng''s words mercilessly slapped the other party''s face. Regardless of whether it was Elder Yao, Daoist Priest Li, or Xiong Shan, they all felt a burning pain on their faces!


    "Let''s attack together, don''t waste time!" Xiao Feng glanced indifferently at the remaining seven people. Clapping his hands, he spoke while standing with his hands behind his back.


    The seven people''s faces turned red. They never thought that the Cloud Returning Sword Sect would have such a tough person who was humiliated like this. It seemed that if they lost face this time, they would definitely be punished when they went back!


    "Since they''ve already said so, then there''s no need for all of you to be so polite. I''ll properly experience the capabilities of the Gui Yun Sect''s peerless genius!" Dao Lord Li''s face turned red, he actually shamelessly shouted, causing the faces of Mo Wentian, Liang Ren and the rest to darken.


    "What a shameless person!" Chu Lie originally didn''t find Xiao Feng pleasing to the eye, but now he found him more pleasing to the eye. Although Xiao Feng''s temper and character weren''t as explosive as his, he wasn''t sloppy when it came to fighting.


    "Hehe, what do you mean shamelessly or shamelessly? This was requested by your genius. This old man will only fulfill his dream of becoming a hero!" Li Daoyi sneered as he shot a look at the seven of them!


    With the permission of their master, the seven of them looked at each other and saw the killing intent that flashed in the depths of each other''s eyes. They then walked up to face Xiao Feng at the same time.


    "Don''t say that we bullied you with numbers. Which weapon do you use? Pick one!" The man in the lead embraced his longsword as he spoke to Xiao Feng.


    "Weapon? "Alright, let''s use it!" Xiao Feng was stunned for a moment. Then, he revealed a mocking smile as he pointed at a stick on the ground not far away!


    A strong dragon-shaped force suddenly shot out from his hands as his hands formed a seal. It emitted a deep dragon roar and flew into his hands under everyone''s strange gazes.


    "Sigh, what a miraculous skill. Elder Liang, where did you find such a miraculous disciple?" Mo Wentian stared at Xiao Feng in shock as he drew in a breath of cold air.


    "Arrogant and conceited, you''re truly courting death. Since that''s the case, then die!"


    Xiao Feng choosing a rod as a weapon was a strange and inconceivable thing for the onlookers, but to them, it was an enormous insult. It was Xiao Feng deliberately looking down on their performance!


    The swords were unsheathed and the seven people each held a weapon that emitted a strong killing intent. They formed a semicircle and surrounded Xiao Feng, enveloping him within. A great battle was about to begin!

 C24

    "Feng''er, be careful!" Of the seven people, three of them were at the late stage of the Sea Cleaving Stage, three at the middle stage, and one at the early stage. With seven people working together, even an early stage soldier would have to avoid this attack, not to mention the late stage Spirit Channeling Xiao Feng!


    "Come at me!" However, Xiao Feng only laughed a few times as his robe fluttered without any wind. Holding the long rod in his hand, he watched as the seven people attacked him in a strange manner. Finally, his feet moved!


    The seven people of Ten Thousand Beast Valley acted as the vanguard, opening a path with their rough skin and thick flesh. The Free and Unrestrained Faction attacked then, and in the end, the Divine Path Sect constantly formed seals as a boundless killing intent locked Xiao Feng in place.


    Xiao Feng stepped on the seven stars and his body moved about like a cool breeze. He transformed into an afterimage as he charged into the encirclement of the few people present. The long rod in his hand unleashed an attack that was like a violent storm!


    The rod shadows filled the sky, forming a huge net that enveloped everything. Xiao Feng blocked with his left and right strikes to stop the attack. His profound footwork combined with his dazzling pole technique made it seem as if he was extremely skillful when fighting against seven opponents!


    "Good, good, good. Finally, an extraordinary genius has appeared in our Cloud Returning Sword Sect. Good, good! The Cloud Returning Sword Sect has not been destroyed by an old man like Mo Wentian!"


    Tears streamed down Mo Wentian''s face as he wiped away the tears in his eyes. His eyes were filled with determination as he stared at Xiao Feng, his body trembling with emotion as he spoke.


    On the other hand, as Xiao Feng revealed more than enough attitude toward the seven of them, the expressions of the three of them gradually became grave. They recalled the bet just now and realized that they had snuck into Xiao Feng''s trap from the very beginning!


    "Seven people might not have any true ability. The other three sects only have this kind of reputation. They will only teach a few bullying and mighty scoundrels!"


    Xiao Feng skillfully responded to the attacks of the seven people and didn''t forget to mock them. Especially the three people below, their faces were as red as a pig''s liver. They wanted to jump down and slap Xiao Feng to death!


    Pa pa pa pa. As time passed, the seven people became more and more astonished. Soon after, they became unable to believe it and became fearful. Their impression of Xiao Feng seemed to have been refreshed to a terrifying degree!


    Xiao Feng seized the opportunity to sweep his right leg across their bodies and swept it towards them. The long rod in his hand was like a crafty poisonous snake as it ruthlessly struck the top of their head!


    The two of them felt a sharp pain in their heads, causing them to grimace in pain. This fellow was doing this on purpose, if he used even the slightest bit of inner strength, this staff strike would have taken their lives.


    "Heh heh, this is called a pair of baseball bats!" The corner of Xiao Feng''s mouth curled up in a playful smile. He continuously flipped back and forth in the air, and his long rod once again slapped the buttocks of the other two. It was so painful that they jumped and stomped, yet he still didn''t use the slightest bit of Azure Dragon''s Qi.


    "This is called beating the butt of a dog!" As he spoke, he took another step forward and became a blur as he pierced through the three people. His finger pointed out continuously and like lightning, it struck the remaining three people''s Tan Zhongzhen, causing them to be unable to move!


    Bam, bam, bam. The sticks struck the three people''s feet. The huge force sent them flying into the air. Their buttocks were in extreme pain, but they were unable to move. They were in so much pain that their noses were dripping with water.


    "This is what you call pushing a dog into the sky!"


    Just as his voice faded, the three of them landed on the ground with a thud. Three streams of Xiao Feng''s energy shot out in succession, unlocking their acupoints. The three of them immediately hugged their butts and jumped up!


    Within three moves, it was fast, accurate, and ruthless. It was done in one go without any flaws, causing all those who were watching to suck in a breath of cold air!


    "Thank you for your leniency. Seniors, I am sorry, but I was fortunate enough to be able to win in just one and a half moves. I have helped you all teach these seniors a lesson. I hope that you seniors will forgive me!"


    Xiao Feng threw away his stick and cupped his fist towards the nearby Daoist Priest Li and the others as he said loudly. He especially bit his moves so heavily that their faces alternated between green and red!


    "Humph, little brat, what martial arts did you use? This wasn''t a cultivation technique from the Cloud Returning Sword Sect? Could it be that this is the disciple from the Gui Yun Sword Sect? "


    Old man Yao''s gaze was terrifyingly dark, as if he wanted to devour Xiao Feng alive. He said in a deep voice, "They have already been rivals with the Cloud Returning Sword Sect for many years, and the martial arts of the other party are already very clear. They have never even seen what Xiao Feng used just now!"


    "Oh, about this, I''m sorry senior, this is indeed not a cultivation technique of the Cloud Returning Sword Sect. This staff technique is called the Thirty-sixth Path of Hitting the Dog, it was created by this junior on a whim, and I haven''t included the Cloud Returning Sword Sect in yet!"


    Xiao Feng laughed heartily and cupped his fists towards Elder Yao as he replied. When he replied, he unconsciously emphasized his tone of voice.


    Following that, bursts of laughter rang out from the surrounding crowd of Guiyun Sword Sect spectators. They were so angry that a few old men blew at Xiao Feng to the point that they glared at him, wishing they could skin him alive and tear his bones apart!


    "What a sharp tongued brat. Very good. This old man will remember this debt. I will naturally get it back from you three months from now, when the time of the national tournament comes!"


    Elder Yao was burning with fury. The anger in his chest was about to erupt like a volcano, but was forcefully suppressed by him. His face turned red with anger!


    "What a great method to beat a dog. It''s really exquisite. Especially when facing a mad dog or vicious dog, it''s even more useful. Good!" Liang Ren laughed loudly and couldn''t help but praise.


    Xiao Feng had achieved a complete victory, completely crushing the genius disciples brought by the three sects with a gesture of complete victory. This caused the Cloud Returning Sword Sect to feel proud, and they to return all the humiliation they had suffered not long ago!


    Mo Wentian laughed out loud as he walked over, his eyes filled with praise for Xiao Feng. His entire person seemed to have aged by more than ten years. It had already been so many years since the last time the Guyun Sword Sect had been so proud!


    "Humph, don''t celebrate too early. Today''s debt, on the day of the National Battle, will naturally be repaid many times over!" "Let''s go!" Li Daoyi''s face was terrifyingly gloomy as he suppressed the uncontrollable killing intent within his body and coldly snorted.


    "Sigh, don''t go. Why are all of you so famous? You should know that if you''re willing to bet, you will lose. The bet just now was clearly stated. If you lose, then crawl out from here!"


    Chu Lie was anxious and hurriedly jumped out to stop the few people who were about to leave. He scratched his head and scratched his ears as he spoke to them in a strange tone.


    Shua, as soon as Chu Lie''s words left his mouth, the atmosphere instantly froze. A deathly silence filled the air and a heavy atmosphere rapidly rose. On the faces of the three brothers, a sinister look emerged!

 C25

    "Second Madman Chu, don''t go too far!" A strong power began to gather around Old Yao''s body as he yelled at Chu Lie with a cold gaze.


    "Don''t give me face and not take it back. If you know what to do, I will take it back. It might not be a small matter!" The expression on Daoist Priest Li''s face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water was about to drip out. Gritting his teeth, he squeezed out a few words. The long sword on his back was faintly trembling!


    Xiong Shan was unable to suppress his anger. He roared and was about to attack, "Humph, I''ll kill you!"


    "Hmph, what if you go too far? You overbearing people have descended upon my Gui Yun Sect, boasting so shamelessly that you have thought of ways to embarrass us, insult us, and then today, we would have lost? Will you let it go like this? "


    Chu Lie was not afraid of them. A fiery red glow radiated from his body and a mysterious aura spread out. He glared at them, unwilling to back down!


    "If I can''t afford to lose, I only need to say that my sect can''t afford to lose. Naturally, I won''t make things difficult for you all. I''ll let you all leave, how about it?"


    The faces of the three of them turned ashen, and they even started to twist. Why did this sound so familiar? Wasn''t it the same words they said not long ago when they forced the Cloud Returning Sword Sect to admit defeat? Now, the other party had returned once again!


    "I''ll fight it out with you!" Xiong Shan was like a mad blind bear. His muffled voice could not vent his anger as he circulated the spiritual energy in his body and was about to attack!


    At the same time, the aura around Old Yao''s body abruptly exploded. Li Daorong''s sword was unsheathed. It landed in his hand with a clear cry, releasing a dense cold light!


    "Second Elder, in my opinion, let''s just forget about it. We don''t want to do anything, we don''t want to do anything. How could the Guyun Sword Sect do something as despicable and shameless as forcing others to do something as despicable as this?"


    He cupped his fists towards Chu Lie and continued, "All of you are well-known people. Since the seniors are unwilling, then there is no reason for us to force others to do anything. So, this junior feels that we should just let this matter drop.


    Xiao Feng, who had lived two lifetimes, spoke very sharp words. He even used the skill of speaking to perfection. With a single sentence, he smiled at the few of them in a friendly manner.


    "Hahaha, alright. Since the bet was set by Xiao Feng, and you won the competition, you naturally have the right to cancel it. I''ll listen to you!"


    Mo Wentian burst out into laughter as his heart was instantly overjoyed. Xiao Feng''s words seemed to be expressing his friendship with the three sects, but he had unknowingly placed the crime of being despicable, shameless, and despicable on their bodies. This kind of result was even more satisfying than fighting with them, or even teaching them a lesson!


    "But ¡­" Chu Lie was unable to react in time and was about to retort when he saw Liang Ren winking at him. Then, he reacted and burst out laughing!


    Old man Yao''s gaze was terrifyingly gloomy, his gaze as sharp as an eagle''s head locked onto Xiao Feng. How could he not understand Xiao Feng''s words? He never would have thought that the one who came to the Cloud Returning Sword Sect to show off his might would end up like this!


    "What a sharp-tongued kid. Good, good, my Divine Dao Sect will remember this debt. I will return it double in the future!"


    The expression on Daoist Priest Li''s face turned ashen as he felt extremely aggrieved. He never thought that he would be in an even more embarrassing situation if he lost this match. All of this was because of this unassuming young man!


    Among the three, only Xiong Shan and the other monk was at a loss. He looked at Elder Yao and Daoist Priest Li with a puzzled expression, "What''s wrong?" This brat is quite right, why are all of you so angry? "


    Hahaha, the moment Xiong Shan said this, everyone in the Guiyun Sword Sect, including the Sect Master, burst out in laughter. Old man Yao glared at Xiong Shan with a stern expression, gave a cold snort, and turned around to leave!


    "Good, well done. Xiao Feng, you have done a great deed this time!" Mo Wentian stared at the flustered and exasperated crowd as they left. He couldn''t help but burst out in laughter as he patted Xiao Feng on the shoulders!


    "Xiao Feng, Xiao Feng, Xiao Feng ¡­" The entire Cloud Returning Sword Sect immediately burst out in cheers and cheers like a tide. Everyone''s eyes that looked at Xiao Feng were filled with incomparable worship and fanaticism!


    Xiao Feng cupped his fists towards his surroundings and then slightly pressed down with both hands. The cheers came to a sudden stop because at this moment, they could actually see the dignity and aura of someone at a higher position on Xiao Feng''s thin figure!


    "Fellow disciples, the reason why the three sects have joined forces today is to completely suppress our Gui Yun Sect and humiliate us. If we were to lose today, the consequences could be imagined!"


    Xiao Feng''s sonorous voice spread throughout the surroundings. His words caused everyone to lower their heads in silence, not daring to raise their heads to show off to others!


    "I think everyone should understand that after today''s incident, a sect is a large family. If we do not gather together, it would be like a piece of loose sand, and if others were to come into contact with us, we would all be scattered. How are we to fight the enemy?"


    Xiao Feng, who was in the middle of the crowd, instantly became mighty as his domineering voice resounded in the ears of every disciple!


    "As a man, he is as timid as a mouse. He is indecisive. What right does he have to pursue the peak of martial arts and become a true expert?"


    Every word that Xiao Feng said was like a heavy hammer that ruthlessly smashed into the hearts of everyone present. It caused their so-called heart of glass to shatter!


    "So from today on, I hope that our Cloud Returning Sword Sect will be able to pull itself together and unite as a common enemy. I want others to know that the Cloud Returning Sword Sect is the strongest sect!"


    Liang Ren looked at the thin figure in the crowd and a tinge of tears flashed in his eyes. He nodded his head in gratification. If there was a disciple in this life, what else could he ask for?


    "You are all good sons of my Cloud Returning Sword Sect, I hope you will always remember every single one of Xiao Feng''s words. Only when everyone united as one will the Cloud Returning Sword Sect shine with extraordinary brilliance, just around the corner!"


    Mo Wentian was also touched by Xiao Feng''s heroic speech. The lofty sentiments that had been hidden within his heart for many years was also completely aroused. His booming voice spread throughout the entire Cloud Returning Sword Sect!


    "Good, good, good ¡­" Voices like tidewaters rang through the skies of the Gui Yun Sword Sect, and the boundless positive energy formed a gigantic energy shockwave in the sky!


    Within the crowd, Liu Yang looked at the figure that everyone admired and was in high spirits. A dim light flashed across his eyes, but there was also a faint trace of intense hatred.


    "From now on, everyone must make the best use of their time to cultivate and do their best to enhance their own cultivation. They must strive to bring honor to the sect one day!"


    With a wave of his hand, the sect head''s demeanor was completely displayed. One by one, the disciples returned to their own places to cultivate with fanatical hearts. In their hearts, Xiao Feng''s figure was still lingering!

 C26

    The next day, under the lead of two people, Xiao Feng followed a few elders and the Sect Master to the main hall!


    "Xiao Feng, it is all thanks to you that our Cloud Returning Sword Sect is able to feel proud, and wash away our shame. If you want any rewards, just say so!" Mo Wentian patted Xiao Feng on the shoulder as he spoke.


    Xiao Feng hurriedly cupped his fists. "Sect Master is too serious. Xiao Feng, as a disciple of the Cloud Returning Sword Sect, is supposed to be responsible for maintaining the reputation of the sect. How could he covet credit for this?"


    "Furthermore, Master has treated this disciple well, and this disciple still hasn''t had the time to repay you for that. How could I dare to ask for more? I beg Master to retract this order!"


    Xiao Feng''s words caused the few Great Elders and Mo Wentian to nod their heads in satisfaction. They were neither humble nor arrogant, upright and selfless.


    "School Head, since Feng''er doesn''t want it, there''s no reason for us to force him into a corner. However, Feng''er has done great deeds and cannot be denied. This old man has an idea, but I''m not sure what you think?"


    Liang Ren stroked his beard as he contemplated for a moment before speaking to Mo Wentian.


    "Oh, what''s the grand elder''s opinion on this matter?" Mo Wentian hurriedly asked.


    "Three days later is the day our sect''s Secret Realm Sword Tomb opens. Inside the Sword Tomb, there are countless opportunities, but it requires a lot of luck to obtain. How about giving Feng''er a spot and letting him enter the Sword Tomb as well? As for whether or not he can obtain any benefits, it will all depend on himself."


    Liang Ren laughed as he stared at Mo Wentian.


    "The Sword Tomb is a secret realm of our Cloud Returning Sword Sect, and it is also the foundation of the sect. It can be said that the Cloud Returning Sword Sect was built by the Sword Tomb, Great Elder''s idea is not bad, I wonder what the other elders think?"


    Mo Wentian nodded his head. The Gui Yun Sword Sect was only able to achieve its current achievements because of the existence of the Sword Tomb. All of its cultivation technique and skills were obtained and taken out of the secret realm by those within the secret realm!


    Including Chu Lie, the three elders nodded their heads and agreed. Whether it was in terms of ability or contribution, Xiao Feng had the qualifications to enter the mystic realm!


    "However, before this, this old man still has something that I want to discuss with Xiao Feng. Xiao Feng, come here!" As soon as Mo Wentian finished speaking, Chu Lie quickly jumped out and pulled Xiao Feng as he spoke.


    "May I ask senior what is the matter?" Xiao Feng hurriedly cupped his fist and bowed.


    "Aiya, don''t be such a slut! Senior, please don''t be so sloppy! I just want to ask you: I want to take you as my disciple. Are you willing to take me as my master?"


    Xiao Feng was startled as he looked at Chu Lie with a face full of black lines. He was stunned on the spot.


    However, Liang Ren was unwilling to do so. He jumped up and shouted at Chu Lie, "Damn old man, do you even have any shame? Xiao Feng is my disciple, what is the meaning of this? "


    "I find this kid more pleasing to the eye the more I see him. Old Liang, how about we both become his teachers? How about that?" "I don''t mind ¡­" Chu Lie was still unwilling to give up and brazenly boasted.


    "..." You don''t mind... I mind... Didn''t you want me to explain to you before? "Dream on ¡­"


    Xiao Feng, Mo Wentian and the two elders were exasperated as they stared at the two elders. Chu Lie wasn''t too bad, his temper was usually this bad, but now, even Liang Ren had changed.


    "Xiao Feng, tell me, are you willing to be my disciple?" Seeing that Liang Ren was adamant, Chu Lie pointed the spearhead at Xiao Feng, causing him to fall into a dilemma.


    "This ¡­ Second Elder, this junior has already taken the Grand Elder as my master from the very beginning. If I were to take you as my master again, I will no longer be a sinner who dares to bully and destroy my master!"


    Xiao Feng was a scoundrel looking into a mirror. He wasn''t human on the inside and was in a dilemma on the right and left. These two people couldn''t be offended, so no matter how he chose, he would be wrong!


    "Heh, you stinking brat, don''t you not know what''s good for you. There are so many people outside who don''t even have a chance to be my disciple, and yet you''re still so bold?"


    Mo Wentian helplessly looked at the three of them as he shook his head and walked up to persuade them, "Alright, alright, the two of you don''t need to make things difficult for Xiao Feng. You guys are clearly giving him a dilemma. Do you still want to be his teacher?"


    "I think this is the way it is. Xiao Feng is also Elder Liang''s disciple, but in the future, as long as he is willing, he can learn from any one of us. Everyone has the responsibility to teach Xiao Feng. How about it?"


    Although they didn''t say anything, that didn''t mean that they didn''t like this genius disciple!


    Hei, look, this thief, if you want to talk about the master, then this is the thief. Look, when he said it like this, I, Chu Lie will be the bad guy and the good guy will be the one to take care of him. The most important thing is that he got a cheap disciple.


    Chu Lie glared at Mo Wentian as he muttered to himself. He was like an old child, causing even Xiao Feng to be unable to contain his laughter!


    "Alright, as Sect Master has said, Feng''er, if you have any questions in the future, everyone here can answer them for you. I hope that you will not disappoint the expectations everyone has for you!"


    Liang Ren nodded. After glaring at Chu Lie, he said to Xiao Feng in a sincere tone. In fact, he had already thought of this since long ago. The reason he didn''t agree to Chu Lie''s request was undoubtedly to obtain the greatest benefit for Xiao Feng!


    A stream of warmth flowed through Xiao Feng''s heart. Since he was young, this was the first time he felt the warmth of family love, regardless of whether it was in his previous life or his current life.


    "Teacher, Sect Master and the few elders don''t worry. Xiao Feng will definitely remember Senior''s kindness today. I, Xiao Feng, swear that I will never let the seniors be shamed in my life!"


    Xiao Feng bowed and swore to them respectfully.


    "Good, good. With these words of yours, we old bones will be relieved!" Mo Wentian supported Xiao Feng as he said this in a gratified manner.


    "In that case, let''s discuss the war in three months!" Liang Ren also nodded before speaking in a slightly serious tone.


    "From today''s point of view, in three months, Feng''er will definitely represent us in the Guiyun Sword Sect''s national tournament, and there will also be Zhou Jian. As for the last spot, I''m afraid we''ll have to go through a martial arts duel before deciding!" Mo Wentian agreed.


    "But I''m afraid this time''s national tournament is not that simple!" The Divine Path Sect''s Yin Xiong, the Du Brothers who are known as the Little Xiao Yao and Xiao Xiao Xiao, and the Ten Thousand Beast Valley''s Shi Tao, all of them are well-known figures in their generation, and their strengths cannot be underestimated! " The third elder began to speak slowly as well, his voice full of seriousness!


    "These four people can be placed to the side. The true protagonist of this national war will probably be that Heavenly Dragon''s Fated Prince!"


    As he spoke of that peerless genius, Liang Ren, as well as Mo Wentian, all had expressions of agony on their faces. The entire hall instantly fell into a deathly silence!

 C27

    "Is this the fate of the Celestial Dragon?" When Xiao Feng heard these words, the muscles all over his body instantly tensed up. Clenching his fists tightly, he muttered to himself.


    "Sigh, Sky Dragon''s Mandate? "This is the fate of the Celestial Dragon ¡­" Mo Wentian let out a long sigh as he instantly felt as though he had aged ten years.


    Xiao Feng frowned slightly. From the expressions of the few elders, it seemed that they had quite a lot to do with this matter of Sky Dragon''s life!


    "In short, Feng''er, this time when you enter the Sword Tomb, you must do your best to increase your strength, and strive to make yourself as strong as possible!"


    Liang Ren calmed himself, patted Xiao Feng''s shoulder, and said shakily, "Because there are some things that must happen. You must have the ability to protect yourself as soon as possible!"


    Xiao Feng''s heart thumped rapidly as he looked suspiciously at Liang Ren. He seemed to have a bad premonition. Could it be that something bad will really happen?


    Very quickly, Xiao Feng walked out of the great hall and looked at the sky with a serious expression. "No matter what happens, I will protect the Gui Yun Sect well!" Clenching his fist tightly, a firm look flashed in Xiao Feng''s eyes!


    However, just as he passed through the entrance to the great hall and reached the outside, a fierce and sharp force suddenly shot out from the void. The formidable force caused him to furrow his brows!


    With a roar, he circulated the azure dragon''s aura. Turning around, he sent out a palm attack. The dragon-shaped Qi collided with the power of the sneak attack, causing a burst of tremors!


    "Shua! Ding!" At the same time, a crisp metallic sound rang out from behind him. The tyrannical aura suddenly enveloped him and the powerful aura caused Xiao Feng to frown!


    "Who wants to ambush me?" This person is definitely stronger than the so-called geniuses of the three sects. Since when have I offended such a person? "


    As he thought about it, Xiao Feng''s hands were not sloppy. He slowly stepped forward and clear dragon roars continuously sounded out. The azure dragon aura circled around him as he sent a palm strike behind him!


    Clink clink clink. The sword and palm collided and emitted clear clashing sounds. In front of Xiao Feng, a black-clothed man was holding a long sword. He was completely focused on using his sword moves to fight with Xiao Feng!


    With a palm strike, the azure dragon''s energy was released and Xiao Feng''s right foot stomped on the ground. His entire body flew out and took the initiative to meet the black clothed man''s attack!


    "Who are you?" Why did you ambush me? " Xiao Feng asked in a deep voice as he made his move.


    "If you want to know who I am, you can beat me first!" What answered him was the ice-cold voice of the man in black, a sharp and crafty sword technique. Each sword strike was capable of causing the air to explode!


    "Alright, in that case, I will offend you!" Xiao Feng shouted as the Azure Dragon Qi swirled around him. He stepped forward with his feet stepping on the nine palaces, and his Great Ancestor''s fists were swung out in all directions!


    The Great Ancestor''s long fist was the true Central Plains martial arts. It was known for being fierce and overbearing, and it was known for close combat. The previous Xiao Feng had used the Great Ancestor''s long fist to beat the tall monk in the middle of the world without even being able to fight back!


    Every part of the fist, elbow, and shoulder, were all parts of Xiao Feng''s sharp attack. His elbow, ankle, and fist landed on flesh.


    Ding! The black clothed man''s eyes were filled with seriousness. The long sword in his hand let out a cry and trembled. Xiao Feng''s bare hands against his own sharp weapon, yet he could still be so fierce and overbearing. This caused him to be quite shocked!


    "Cold Light Slash!"


    Suddenly, the black-clothed man suddenly shouted loudly and the long sword in his hand immediately released a brilliant light. An unstoppable aura swept out and a sword light cut down towards Xiao Feng like a hot knife through butter!


    Wherever the sword light passed, the sharp blade tore through the air, causing the air to emit explosive sounds, and there was even a fluctuation. Before the sword light even arrived, the sharp aura had already scraped Xiao Feng''s face to the point of pain!


    Dragons fought in the wilderness!


    Xiao Feng was not to be outdone. The azure dragon''s aura roared and the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms struck out abruptly. They turned into a fierce dragon''s aura and clawed at the sword light.


    Bang! Sand and rocks flew all over the arena, emitting a muffled sound of impact. The violent energy waves repelled the two of them, pushing them far away from each other!


    After a few breaths, the dust had all settled, revealing the well-defined face of the man in black, giving off a somewhat cold and handsome feeling!


    The two of them faced each other from afar, and after a while, they both started laughing out loud, as if they had not seen each other in many years. Their laughter was bold and straightforward, shaking the heavens!


    "Good, what a good Xiao Feng. No wonder your name is spread throughout the sect. I''m impressed. I''m convinced of this battle!"


    The black clothed man laughed as he cupped his fist towards Xiao Feng and said with a clear voice. As he spoke, he sheathed his sword and slowly walked towards Xiao Feng!


    "Hahahaha, Eldest Brother is too polite. Senior-apprentice Brother''s strength is tyrannical, junior apprentice-brother is impressed. Junior apprentice-brother congratulates Senior-apprentice Brother on his recovery!"


    When they were fighting just now, Xiao Feng had already consciously felt that although the other party''s attack was overbearing, he did not have any hostility capable of harming him. After carefully thinking about it, among the younger generation, other than the eldest senior brother who was poisoned and in seclusion, there was no one else that he had never seen with such tyrannical strength!


    "Hahaha, great! I heard that junior apprentice-brother''s battle prowess is astonishing, but I never thought that his mind was so meticulous. I truly admire you, senior apprentice-brother!" Zhou Jian walked in front of Xiao Feng and said while nodding to him.


    Xiao Feng modestly waved his hand and said, "Senior Brother is flattering me. Junior Brother was just lucky, how can I compare with Senior Brother?"


    "I just heard that junior not only defeated the challengers from the three sects, but also helped the Cloud Returning Sword Sect vent their anger. Here, senior apprentice brother thanks junior apprentice brother!"


    Zhou Jian cupped his fists towards Xiao Feng. As the eldest senior brother, even if the sect was in trouble, he could not help. Seeing the sect being humiliated made him feel extremely uncomfortable. Luckily, this youngest junior brother was able to hold on!


    Xiao Feng hurriedly returned the bow and said to Zhou Jian, "Senior brother, you are right, junior is a disciple of the Cloud Returning Sword Sect. When my sect is in trouble, how can I just stand by and watch without doing anything? Moreover, little brother can win, but that is only by luck.


    After the two of them conversed for a while, Xiao Feng felt more that Zhou Jian was different. He was gentle but not lacking in edge. He was humble but not lacking in principles. He was a true hero!


    After that, Xiao Feng went to find Chu Lie and asked him for a few herbs that would help him improve his character. The teacher that Xiao Feng had just acknowledged did not use them for free. Under Chu Lie''s puzzled gaze, he returned to his own residence.

 C28

    "Although the wild python''s poison is strong, the danger factor has been reduced by quite a lot in the face of the suppression by the Azure Dragon. Adding these few medicinal ingredients together, it is sufficient to display its greatest use!"


    With a satisfied smile, Xiao Feng took out the Raging Python''s corpse from his ring and found a huge wooden barrel. He poured all of the Raging Python''s blood and venom into the bucket.


    Ssssssssss. When the materials entered the bucket, they produced a sound and white gas entered the liquid. The entire barrel immediately gave off a disgusting stench that made people feel nauseous.


    Uh ¡­ Xiao Feng frowned. This smell was too disgusting. He clenched his teeth, took off his clothes, and jumped in. He sat cross-legged in the wooden barrel and started cultivating.


    When Xiao Feng''s skin came in contact with the liquid, a heart-piercing pain immediately assaulted him. This kind of burning pain was something that no matter how strong his body was, it was impossible to resist. It was so painful that beads of sweat continuously dripped down from Xiao Feng''s forehead.


    Xiao Feng gritted his teeth as he endured the pain. His body trembled as he channeled the Dragon Drawing Arts. The murky black liquid immediately formed tiny vortexes on the surface of his skin as a wisp of black Qi continuously seeped into his skin!


    The black gas turned into pythons that continuously swam within Xiao Feng''s body. The intense poison crazily assimilated into his body. As time passed, Xiao Feng''s lips and even his entire body turned black. His entire body was incomparably poisonous!


    Inside his body, the python continuously destroyed every single cell, but it was regenerated by the Azure Dragon Qi. Inside the Vast Expanse, there was a faint black color mixed in.


    "Freeze!" As time passed, one day later, the originally stinky and turbid liquid became incomparably clear. Xiao Feng, who was sitting inside, had completely turned into a purplish black!


    With a low shout, all of the azure dragon''s energy in his body shot out. At the same time, the purplish black color quickly faded like the tide, converging onto his right index finger!


    After an hour, Xiao Feng''s entire being returned to normal. He opened his eyes and looked at the clear liquid. The corner of his mouth curled up a little, and his right index finger had already completely turned purplish black.


    "Scattered Body Poison, Poison Finger, the Azure Dragon Body Tempering Art is indeed powerful!" Xiao Feng muttered to himself. Ever since he had activated the Azure Dragon''s Qi, a powerful Azure Dragon Body Tempering Art had followed. It had recorded a method to temper the body!


    Destroying one''s body with a highly toxic substance and then reproducing it in a highly toxic body. If the poison was strong enough, it would be able to protect one''s body from all kinds of poisons!


    The most magical thing was that cultivators could condense the poison within their body into one, and their body would return to normal, forming an even more tyrannical part of the poison. It could be deadly at critical moments!


    "Tomorrow is the opening time of the Sword Tomb!" After calculating the time, Xiao Feng thought to himself, The Sword Tomb is the foundation of the Guyun Sword Sect''s founding sect.


    Dong dong dong. "Feng''er, how is your cultivation progress?" At this moment, Liang Ren''s voice suddenly sounded from outside the door, interrupting Xiao Feng''s train of thoughts.


    "Master, you''re here!" Xiao Feng hurriedly opened the door and greeted Liang Ren.


    Liang Ren chuckled and nodded before walking into the room. "You brat, I''ve come twice and shouted for several times, but there was no sound. I was indeed cultivating."


    When he saw the large wooden barrel, his eyes flashed with a trace of surprise. He looked at Xiao Feng carefully. After not seeing him for two days, there seemed to be an extra wave of Baleful Yin Force between Xiao Feng''s brows.


    Xiao Feng chuckled as he scratched his head. Liang Ren''s gaze made him a little uncomfortable. Luckily, Liang Ren quickly retracted his gaze.


    "Master came here today to tell you that since the several Elders and Sect Master have their eyes on you, I hope you can make good use of this opportunity, especially Chu Lie. This old fellow''s rune skills are not shallow at all!"


    "Rune Tao technique?" Xiao Feng exclaimed in surprise. He had already understood from the Dragon Guiding Technique that rune mantras were different from martial arts in this world.


    In the Divine Dragon World, the only thing that the coiling dragon could bestow upon him was its innate ability in rune and Tao techniques. He never thought that the seemingly fiery hot Chu Lie would actually be proficient in this aspect!


    "If you cherish this period of time, I''m afraid you won''t have another chance in the future!" Suddenly, Liang Ren heaved a long sigh as he slowly spoke, causing Xiao Feng to be startled.


    "Teacher, why do you say that?"


    "You''ve just entered the sect, there are many things that you don''t know about. Perhaps after this time''s national tournament, the Gui Yun Sect will no longer exist!"


    "Boom!" Xiao Feng only felt an ear-splitting rumble as he looked at Liang Ren as though he was afraid that he had misheard. Could it be that something major had happened? This was the second time he felt a deep sense of unease!


    "The Guiyun Sword Sect was once the head of the Four Major Sects of the Eastern Divine Kingdom. Their overall strength is the strongest and they have countless disciples. They have absolutely suppressed the other three sects and are the martial arts halls that everyone in the Eastern Liao Kingdom wants to join!"


    "However, all of this was only thirteen years ago, when the Yang Emperor of Eastern Liao was still in power!" Liang Ren''s words were like a heavy hammer that struck Xiao Feng''s heart, causing his heart to skip a beat. This matter had to do with his father. The Cloud Returning Sword Sect was indeed not as simple as it seemed on the surface!


    "The previous Emperor of the Eastern Divine Kingdom, Xiao Yang, was a great genius of our Gui Yun Sect, and was also the youngest junior brother of our generation. After he took over the throne, the status of the Gui Yun Sect instantly rose, and he became the leader of the Four Major Sects!"


    "As for the relationship between the Cloud Returning Sword Sect and the Imperial Family, it is as if they are family. Before the Yang Emperor Crown Prince is about to appear, he has already promised to enter the Cloud Returning Sword Sect like a crown prince in the future. However ¡­"


    As he spoke to here, Liang Ren''s gaze instantly dimmed. His eyes were filled with hatred, as if it was deeply engraved in his heart, and it pierced deep into his heart!


    As for Xiao Feng, when he heard this, he already understood in his heart that there was actually such a relationship between the Cloud Returning Sword Sect and him.


    "However, 13 years ago, when the crown prince was born, it was the order of the ancient peerless genius, Sky Dragon. And all of this changed because of his birth!"


    Liang Ren heaved a long sigh, and the corners of his eyes glistened with tears as he spoke sorrowfully.


    "When Xiao Li launched his coup and stole the crown prince away, the Guyun Sword Sect did their best to advance and retreat together with the Yang Emperor. However, no one expected that Xiao Li would actually join forces with the other three sects to encircle and annihilate the Guyun Sword Sect!"


    Xiao Feng clenched his fist tightly as his eyes filled with endless chilliness. So it turned out that what he knew was only the tip of the iceberg. The hatred that he originally did not want to pursue had unexpectedly risen to another level!

 C29

    "In the end, Xiao Li won. The Yang Emperor was heavily injured and his whereabouts are unknown. The crown prince was extracted from the sacred pill and the life and death of the Gui Yun Sword Sect was unknown. After Xiao Li took office, the Gui Yun Sword Sect suffered a great loss.


    "For many years, we have been searching for the whereabouts of the crown prince, but there was still no news of him, and his whereabouts are unknown. This time, it''s normal for the three sects to jointly humiliate our Cloud Returning Sword Sect, especially this year''s national war. I think that Xiao Li and the three sects will no longer allow the Cloud Returning Sword Sect to continue existing!"


    Xiao Feng''s expression gradually turned grave. Liang Ren''s words had undoubtedly made clear the severity of this matter. From this, it could be seen that the Cloud Returning Sword Sect was indeed in a precarious situation!


    "Xiao Li, I can let bygones be bygones and let bygones be bygones, but if you dare to touch my sect, I, Xiao Feng, will definitely make you pay a painful price!"


    Xiao Feng tightly clenched his fist. The intense killing intent on his body faintly fluctuated. The unconcealable killing intent caused Liang Ren, who was beside him, to narrow his eyes!


    However, he didn''t care about it. As far as he was concerned, Xiao Feng was a man of character. After hearing about this matter, it was normal for his heart to fluctuate!


    "So you need to properly study the abilities of the Cloud Returning Sword Sect in the coming time. Chu Lie''s rune Tao technique is a shortcut that can help you go further!"


    Xiao Feng solemnly nodded his head. So it turned out that the elders and Sect Master actually had such high expectations for him and placed all of their hopes on him!


    Xiao Feng really wanted to tell them that he was the Crown Prince they were looking for, but then he thought that if his true identity was exposed, it would only bring a faster and more violent calamity to the Cloud Returning Sword Sect and he would swallow the words that were about to leave his mouth.


    Whether it was from the relationship between the Cloud Returning Sword Sect and his family, or the feelings they had for him, he would definitely not sit still and wait for death!


    Subsequently, Liang Ren calmed himself down and told Xiao Feng about the matter of entering the Sword Tomb before leaving, leaving Xiao Feng in deep thought.


    The next morning, Xiao Feng was led by the little ghost to the entrance of the forbidden area at the back mountain of the sect. The sect master and four elders were already there. Even Zhou Jian was looking at Xiao Feng with a smile!


    The little ghost''s worshipful gaze never left Xiao Feng along the way. A few days ago, because he was recuperating from his injuries, he missed the battle where Xiao Feng beat up a drowning dog. He felt very regretful in his heart.


    "Feng''er, you''re here!" Liang Ren gave a faint smile, Mo Wentian and the rest nodded to Xiao Feng, then they turned to look at the forbidden mountain gate not far away!


    "Remember, you must only cultivate within the limits of your own abilities. Do not advance recklessly. No one knows what the taboo areas of the Sword Tomb are!" Mo Wentian''s authoritative voice rang out, Xiao Feng and Zhou Jian both nodded their heads!


    "Elders, let''s attack together and open the Sword Tomb!" Mo Wentian clasped his hands together, as an illusory wave of energy surged forth from him. At the same time, the other four elders also unleashed their techniques, causing powerful fluctuations of spiritual energy to surge outwards.


    "Rumble." As the few Elders unleashed their seals, the mysterious array formation at the entrance of the sect was activated. A vast and mighty force immediately rippled outwards and a rumbling sound continuously rang out!


    Shua, shua, shua. At the same time that the array formation was opened, the mountain gate slowly opened. Countless sharp sword qi shot out from the Sword Tomb.


    "Enter!" Mo Wentian roared out. Xiao Feng and Zhou Jian exchanged gazes with each other before they immediately rushed into the Sword Tomb. Despite Xiao Feng''s strong physical body, when faced with the formless sword qi, he was left with wounds on his body!


    As for Zhou Jian, he also brandished his treasure sword, slowly advancing while clashing with the sword qi. Behind them, the three disciples also followed, each of them using their own methods to enter the Sword Tomb!


    The Sword Tomb was truly worthy of being called the Sword Tomb. It was filled with countless sharp sword energies, and even the air itself was mixed with a sharp aura.


    The aura of the Azure Dragon shrouded Xiao Feng''s entire body. His physical strength was unleashed to the limit as he walked within the gale of sword Qis. His skin was covered in numerous bloodstains!


    "Junior Apprentice Brother, there are countless lucky chances in the Sword Tomb. Whatever you can obtain, it all depends on your luck. Let''s part ways here!" Zhou Jian brandished his treasured sword and circulated all the Spiritual Energy in his body to form a small defense as he spoke to Xiao Feng in a low voice.


    Xiao Feng nodded his head. After Zhou Jian left, he carefully examined his surroundings. The so-called Sword Tomb was actually a desolate and borderless space with four paths leading to who knows where. Just now, Zhou Jian had chosen the west!


    Xiao Feng muttered to himself for a while before choosing to head towards the east. He stepped his feet on the desolate ground and walked forward step by step. The further he went, the weaker the sword energy storm became!


    "What kind of lucky chance can this place have?" The deeper they went, the more Xiao Feng frowned. Along the way, other than the increasingly thick aura of earth, even the spiritual force had become extremely thin. He couldn''t figure out what kind of opportunity there was!


    "Five miles to the left, there''s good stuff!" Suddenly, the Dragon Soul that had been silent for a long time rang in Long Zhi''s mind.


    "Senior, you''re awake!" Ever since he triggered the Azure Dragon''s Qi, the dragon spirit had fallen into a deep slumber. This time, Xiao Feng could clearly feel that the dragon spirit''s Qi had become much stronger.


    "Mm, you have activated the Azure Dragon''s Qi, which is equivalent to raising the Dragon Drawing Arts to a whole new level. As a dragon spirit, I have naturally received many benefits as well!"


    Although Xiao Feng wasn''t familiar with Long Ling, he could feel that she was sincere towards him. Perhaps it was because she practiced the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms!


    "Also, you can just call me Long Ling from now on. Don''t always call me senior!" After pausing for a moment, Long Ling continued.


    Xiao Feng nodded. "Long Ling, did you just say that there are good things here?" While speaking, Xiao Feng had already headed to the right side and quickly arrived at a boundless wasteland!


    "That''s right. Go ahead and see what''s ahead." Xiao Feng continued to walk forward. As he did so, the already weak sword qi gale gradually became stronger!


    "This is ¡­" Suddenly, Xiao Feng''s pupils contracted as he couldn''t help but exclaim in surprise. The empty space in front of him was actually filled with all kinds of tombs.

 C30

    "This should be the tomb inheritance of some sword arts experts!" Long Ling faintly said. Although these experts seemed very strong, compared to her own experience in this world, they were simply like children!


    Xiao Feng''s face was filled with shock as he channeled his Azure Dragon Qi forward. The closer he got to the grave, the fiercer the storm became. It was many times stronger than when he had first entered the Sword Tomb!


    "Sword Saint Dugu, the Darksteel Heavy Sword is fierce and tyrannical. A thousand jin of great strength adds to the godly sword. It can sweep through all four empires without a single rival, and can be considered a grandmaster of the way of the sword!"


    "The ethereal sword master has reached the acme of perfection with his ethereal sword technique. He is famous for his speed and his sharpness. He is known as the eagle of swords, sharp and swift!"


    "Path of Harmony Sword Yuan, the Six Corporeal Forms walk the world alone. Yin and Yang combine to form a formless sword. He is a peerless master in this world!"


    The hundreds of tombs all recorded the glory days of the tomb''s owner before his death and their famous unique skills. Each of them was a stunning genius with unparalleled attainments in the way of the sword!


    Mentioning the way of the sword, Xiao Feng couldn''t help but recall his sworn brother Duan Ming''s Six Veins Divine Sword, the Dali Duan Clan''s Six Veins Divine Sword. It was known as the best sword technique in the world in the Central Plains Martial Arts Forest, and its position in the Martial Forest was equal to his Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms!


    "The Six Paths of the Sword, using formlessness to enter the path of the sword, transforming into formless form, supple and supple at the same time, it actually has the same effect as the Six Passages of Divine Sword!" Xiao Feng muttered to himself.


    "No wonder it''s called ''Sword Tomb''. So it turns out that this place is the home of a famous sword arts master in the history of the continent. Just these martial arts techniques alone are enough to support a sect like the Cloud Returning Sword Sect!"


    Xiao Feng walked between the many graves and there were many different small storms surrounding him. Each grave represented a different direction of the path of the sword.


    Weng weng weng. As Xiao Feng went deeper in, the surrounding graves suddenly burst out with intense light rays. Wild and violent energy shook the space, causing it to emit wailing sounds. The originally violent sword energy instantly became berserk!


    "They have their eyes on your talent and want to choose you as their successor to obtain their inheritance so that you can shine!"


    Long Ling''s calm voice was transmitted over. Although these so-called inheritances were nothing out of the ordinary in his eyes, they were still an extremely rare opportunity for the current Xiao Feng!


    Regardless of whether it was his previous life or this life, Xiao Feng''s entire life of learning had nothing to do with swords. However, no matter what, his talent was there. As long as it was someone with eyes, they would never let go of such a talent!


    Xiao Feng was surprised for a moment before he looked gratefully at his surroundings. He respectfully cupped his fists and said in a clear voice, "Xiao Feng is deeply grateful to all of you seniors for thinking so highly of Xiao Feng!"


    "However, as the saying goes, one must bite off more than one can chew. Xiao Feng cannot be insatiable, and may have to betray the good intentions of many seniors. Xiao Feng will apologize to the seniors here first!"


    Xiao Feng bowed towards the glowing grave, and these inheritances immediately displayed an even more intense light and aura. Even Xiao Feng had no choice but to have his Dragon Spirit protect him!


    Staring at the powerful aura that was like a violent storm, Xiao Feng advanced by himself like a small boat. After passing through many tombs, the radiance above them dimmed!


    "Keep going forward!" Long Ling calmly said. She continued to protect Xiao Feng as they walked forward. After a few hours of difficult walking, they had finally passed through the grave area!


    "So this is just the tip of the Sword Tomb, a small area of the tomb!" At this moment, Xiao Feng was in the middle of a huge circular plaza. The surroundings were filled with the fury of a terrifying might. At the edges of the plaza, a few oddly-shaped weapons were scattered on the ground!


    "This place is where the Sword Tomb is truly valuable. It is where the best lucky chance is hidden. You just stay here and carefully study it!"


    As the dragon spirit spoke, it abruptly withdrew the dragon Qi protecting Xiao Feng. It was as if the person who had suddenly lost his boat was in a monstrous wave. Countless violent and frightening sword Qis instantly engulfed his entire body!


    "Ugh ¡­" In the blink of an eye, Xiao Feng''s body was covered with thousands of wounds, as if countless sharp blades had instantly cut through his body. Blood flowed out as thin as silk!


    The intense pain caused him to inhale a breath of cold air. Even if he channeled all of the Azure Dragon''s Qi, he would still not be able to resist the tempest here. In the blink of an eye, he had turned into a man of blood!


    "What is the good fortune here? It''s already a problem for us to live for a long time, even if we have the luck, we won''t be able to find it! "


    Xiao Feng''s complexion gradually paled. The surrounding tearing crisis was getting stronger and stronger. If this went on, even his life would be in danger. He had to think of a way to resolve the crisis before him!


    Countless thoughts flashed through Xiao Feng''s mind. The dragon spirit seemed to once again fall into a deep sleep as it quietly ignored him. Now, it could only rely on itself, but what could it do to overcome this crisis?


    "Right, Sword Truth, this is the tomb of a sword expert. These sword energy storms all carry the cultivation attribute and will of Master when he was alive. Do you think that I can comprehend the Sword Truth here and become one with it? Then I will no longer suffer the pain of being cut into pieces!"


    A light flashed in Xiao Feng''s eyes. The thought that suddenly popped up made him feel that it was very possible. He immediately stopped hesitating and the Azure Dragon''s Qi tried its best to protect him as he sat cross-legged in the middle of the plaza!


    Although Xiao Feng knew nothing about the way of the sword, in his previous life, Duan Ming''s attainment in the sword could be said to be at the peak. As his eldest brother, even if he didn''t know any sword arts, he still knew a lot!


    Xiao Feng closed his eyes and meditated like an old tree. He allowed the sword energy to continue tearing his body apart. His consciousness had already fused with the sword energy!


    The sword was known as the king of weapons, its movements could be light, sharp, tough and overbearing, even flexible and flexible, allowing it to automatically evolve more moves, but no matter how it changed, it would always remain the sword''s foundation, and that was profit!


    A true expert of the path of the sword would not have a sword in his hand, but he would be able to strike out with his sword as he wished. He would be able to split apart mountains and cut apart the flow, and even the heavens.


    Xiao Feng''s consciousness gradually merged with the world around him. He had a fundamental understanding of the sharp swords that formed this tomb. Gradually, a small whirlpool of sword energy began to form on the surface of his body!


    With the passage of time, the whirlpool became larger and larger. At first, it was sharp and fierce as it collided with everything around it, before gradually fusing into the surroundings. Xiao Feng''s injuries on the surface of his body were visibly decreasing!


    Swoosh! A sharp aura flashed by like lightning. Xiao Feng opened his eyes and looked at the vortex around him. His eyes were filled with surprise!


    "As I thought, this is the greatest lucky chance. I never thought, I really never thought, that the center of the Sword Dao Graveyard would be a place where all the Sword Dao masters'' sword energy would gather."

 C31

    Xiao Feng felt the strength in his body. After he had just comprehended a hint of sword aura, a sharp aura had already appeared in his body. And in this place, there were countless different types of sword laws.


    After the pleasant surprise, Xiao Feng once again sank into his cultivation. He had just comprehended a trace of the fierce and overbearing laws of the sword. They were known as the masculine sword dao. They were powerful and ferocious to the extreme!


    However, three days later, when Xiao Feng opened his eyes again, they were filled with confusion and puzzlement. Three days ago, he had comprehended the masculine sword dao, the yin yang sword dao, and the wind sword dao, but he felt that he had walked in the wrong direction!


    "No, I misunderstood!" Suddenly, the silent Xiao Feng exclaimed and jumped up from the ground. Right now, there were very few sword Qis that could harm him. A thought suddenly flashed through his mind!


    When Duan Ming cultivated the Six Passages of Divine Sword, there was a period of time when he was unable to execute sword moves as he wished. He was unable to do so as he wished, and was unable to do so as he pleased because he hadn''t been able to do as he pleased!


    As long as one was willing to follow one''s heart, one would be able to do as they pleased. Only when the sword was connected to the sword could one make it seem like one''s right hand. Regardless of the nature of the sword dao one cultivated, one could not escape from the word "heart"!


    "That''s right, I really went in the wrong direction. Comprehending the way of the sword left behind by my predecessors meant that I walked on all the paths of my predecessors. If that''s the case, then what is so interesting about it!"


    An incomparably sharp aura shot into the sky from Xiao Feng''s body, colliding with the sword energy storm and producing a dull rumbling sound!


    "The path of the heart is the path of the sword. Wherever the sword goes, the sword moves according to the heart. This is the path of the sword!" Xiao Feng''s eyes flashed with a sharp sword aura. The strong aura even caused the surrounding space to resonate!


    He sat down cross-legged again. This time, he had no desire nor desire, he did whatever he wanted, and wherever he knew, he would follow. Wherever his heart reached, he would follow, and gradually, an invisible force would appear on the surface of his body, isolating him from the outside world!


    Five days later, a figure slowly made his way through what others viewed as a fatal storm of sword Qis. The surrounding whistling sword Qis were like his lackeys, brushing past his skin every single time without harming him in the slightest!


    "Heavy Sword!" Xiao Feng said these two words softly as a deep rumbling sound suddenly erupted from his body. The entire space immediately became as heavy as mercury, causing one''s movements to become sluggish. However, the sharpness did not decrease and instead increased instead!


    "Qingfeng!" Suddenly, the heavy atmosphere changed once again. In an instant, it was as if a spring mountain had brushed past. Her body was light like a swallow, light as a feather, but her killing intent was overwhelming.


    His comprehension of the sword dao with long hair of eight days allowed him to formally step into the gates of the way of the sword. Even though he had only just reached the initial stage, the Sword Truth he comprehended was a law that dominated the path of any sword.


    "Long Ling, thank you very much!" Xiao Feng whispered to Long Ling. Even though Long Ling hadn''t said anything, he knew that he had been secretly paying attention to him. It was also because of him that he had been able to enter the door of the Sword Truth!


    "There''s no need to thank me. This is your talent, and it''s also what you deserve!" Sure enough, the faint voice of the silent Long Ling sounded out. Xiao Feng smiled slightly and no longer spoke.


    "Next, it''s time to find the next lucky chance!" Suddenly, Long Ling said something that shocked Xiao Feng.


    "Next lucky chance? Isn''t the Sword Tomb''s opportunity the inheritance of the Sword Dao? " Xiao Feng asked in confusion.


    "Hehe, the Sword Tomb is only the tip of the iceberg. This place is called the Five Elements Holy Land, and it is a mysterious space. Every time it appears, its location isn''t fixed!"


    Long Ling said faintly, "Although I don''t know what methods the founder of the Guyun Sword Sect used to fix up a space node of the Five Elements Holy Land, but once the time is up, other space nodes will also have people entering!"


    Long Ling explained to Xiao Feng, which made him suddenly enlightened. The so-called Sword Tomb, and even the hundred tombs of the way of the sword, were just the tip of the iceberg!


    The area we are currently in is the land attribute region of the Five Elements Holy Land. If we continue forward, there will be opportunities for every region of the Five Elements Holy Land!


    After comprehending the Sword Dao Laws, Xiao Feng could freely walk back and forth in the cemetery. He was incomparably agile as he followed Long Ling''s directions. A day later, he finally walked out of the cemetery and appeared in the desert!


    "Hey, that kid, stop right there!" When Xiao Feng had just appeared, he was suddenly stopped by a shout. He turned around and saw four men and a woman walking towards him.


    "May I know what you guys have in mind?" Xiao Feng cupped his fist and said.


    "I don''t have much experience with you. It''s just that you look rather pitiful by yourself. You won''t be able to find your way even if you look at it. Why don''t you come with us?"


    The leading man wore white clothes and had a sword behind his back. He crossed his arms over his chest and spoke to Xiao Feng with an extremely disdainful tone.


    "That''s right. Brother, we are disciples of the Divine Dao Sect. You are by yourself, and we are all friends outside. Let''s go together!"


    The other man said. Although his tone looked kind, his eyes were full of disdain. As he spoke, his nostrils flared!


    "Thank you for your kind intentions, but I''m used to my freedom. Since I like to walk around, I won''t be coming with you!" How could he not see the arrogance of his opponent? This was the kind of person he hated the most in his life!


    "Humph, you don''t know how to appreciate favors. There are countless people out there who want to go with our Divine Path Sect. You should build a good relationship with them. You''re just giving them face and not taking it back!"


    The only girl among the five of them had a cold expression. She arrogantly lifted her nostrils and ridiculed Xiao Feng. As she spoke, the rest of them nodded their heads!


    "Brother, this place is very dangerous. One more person is one additional safeguard. Why not?"


    "Thank you everyone. I am indeed not used to it. Farewell!" Xiao Feng cupped his fist and said before turning around to leave. He had seen this kind of face too many times!


    "Humph, you actually dare to ignore our Divine Path Sect and refuse to be punished? Watch how I take care of you!" The young woman''s face was filled with anger. She was about to rush up to stop Xiao Feng, but she was stopped by the leading man.


    "Junior Martial Sister, there''s no need to be angry. These country bumpkins are ants, there''s no need to be angry. Let''s go, be careful of them running away!"


    Eldest Senior Brother Zhu Xiao said indifferently as he looked at Xiao Feng''s disappearing back.


    "That''s right. In any case, the people from the Cloud Returning Sword Sect have already been forced into the Poison Bee Cave. It''s easy to capture someone to explore. Why do we need this country bumpkin for that?"

 C32

    Xiao Feng walked further and further away, but his sharp hearing allowed him to overhear their conversation. A cold light immediately shot out from his eyes. The Divine Path Sect members were actually targeting the disciples of the Cloud Returning Sword Sect!


    Originally, when he heard that the other party was a member of the Divine Dao Sect, he was already disgusted, so he didn''t want to join them. He didn''t expect them to come looking for him just to use him as a pathfinder''s stone, and even as a disciple of the Gui Yun Sword Sect!


    With a trace of anger in his heart, Xiao Feng watched as the five people gradually disappeared into the distance before following them into the distance. From what they were saying, they were trying to force the people from the Cloud Returning Sword Sect into some Poison Bee Cave, so he didn''t know whether his eldest senior brother was there or not!


    Soon, an hour later, Xiao Feng followed the five members of the Divine Path Sect to an oasis. Although it was called an oasis, it was actually just a small green barrier, like a small island in the vast ocean.


    Along the way, they met another cultivator that walked alone. This time, they directly caught hold of him and brought him all the way here!


    "The Golden Needle Jade Peak inside the Poison Bee Cave is extremely poisonous. Ordinary people would die if they were stung for less than an hour. They have already been forced into the Poison Bee Cave for four hours, they should already be dead by now!"


    "Haha, Guiyun Sword Sect, even you dare to go against our Divine Dao Sect. Very soon, everyone in your sect will go to hell together ¡­"


    The five of them looked at each other proudly and laughed out loud. Then, their gazes landed on the person they had captured!


    "What are you doing?" What do you guys want? " The man panicked. In the man''s eyes, he saw cruelty and coldness!


    "Of course I''m asking for your help. Help me go in and see if the person inside is dead. "How many more jade peaks are there?"


    Zhu Xiao laughed. Behind him, several Junior Brothers and Sisters also looked at that person with cruel eyes. The five of them attacked at the same time, and the formidable strength directly threw that person into the Poison Bee Cave!


    weng weng weng


    As soon as that person entered the cave, a deafening buzzing sound came from inside, followed by a miserable scream that made one''s hair stand on end.


    Very quickly, that person escaped from the Poison Bee Cave under the pursuit of countless Jade Bees. Tens of thousands of jade peaks surrounded him like a giant net, crazily chasing after him into the distance!


    "Let''s go! The jade mountain is already out. We heard that the Jade Peak is a rare treasure that only appears once in a hundred years. Let''s see if there''s anything inside!"


    The five of them looked disdainfully at the bait that Yu Feng was chasing and jumped into the Poison Bee Cave one by one. Xiao Feng was also quietly watching from afar!


    "No, if Senior Brother and the other disciples are inside, I think they won''t be able to defeat the five of them. I need to go in and take a look!"


    Just as they were about to move, a scream suddenly came out from the hole as five figures frantically ran out. Behind them, another group of juniors followed closely behind, chasing after them as they stung them.


    "Hurry up and enter, there''s good stuff inside!" At this time, the dragon spirit suddenly spoke. Xiao Feng nodded and took advantage of the five''s escape time to jump into the Poison Bee Cave!


    The cave was extremely dark and damp, with only a hint of light that could be seen clearly shining in. The cave was surrounded by moss, but the air inside was filled with a faint fragrance.


    "Junior brother!" Not long after Xiao Feng entered the Poison Bee Cave, he discovered two disciples lying on the ground not far from the cave entrance. They were the two disciples that had entered the Sword Tomb with Xiao Feng and Zhou Jian!


    However, right now, their bodies were festering and they were completely unrecognizable. Their bodies were still emitting a disgusting stench. Xiao Feng tightly clenched his fists as the flames of hatred in his eyes roared!


    "God Dao Sect!"


    He fiercely squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, filled with boundless rage. He swore that he would make the Divine Dao Sect pay the price, and that he would definitely take revenge!


    "Keep going deeper, there''s a thousand year Royal Jelly inside!" Long Ling''s voice pulled Xiao Feng out of his hatred. He looked at the corpse on the ground for a while before continuing to walk forward!


    "What is a thousand-year Royal Jelly?" Xiao Feng asked curiously. He had just heard the few people from the Divine Path Sect mention the ''royal jelly''.


    Royal Jelly is a treasure that can only be found by chance and not by searching for natural materials. As everyone knows, bees can make nectar, and Royal Jelly is a treasure that is created by absorbing heaven and earth spirit energy over a long period of time. It can be said that a race''s peak would only produce a drop of Royal Jelly after dozens of years!


    Xiao Feng was extremely shocked in his heart. Long Ling''s words made him greatly interested in this so-called Royal Jelly!


    "However, this is only ordinary royal jelly. As for the thousand year royal jelly, it is the top-grade royal jelly produced from the essence of all the jade peaks gathered by the Queen Bee. It can be said that ordinary royal jelly is just a magazine that has been removed from the production process of the royal jelly?"


    As Xiao Feng walked, he listened to Long Ling''s explanation. A passionate look gradually appeared in his eyes. "You''re saying that the thousand-year Royal Jelly appeared here?"


    "Yufeng is a very united and ferocious group of animals. As long as there is danger, they will attack in groups. They will definitely not hold back!"


    "However, there is one situation where when their Queen Bee is about to evolve, Jade Peak will be split into two batches to protect the Queen Bee. Thus, those few people were attacked by the second batch of Jade Peak!"


    Long Ling explained to Xiao Feng at a leisurely pace. Xiao Feng also nodded. No wonder Long Ling said that there was a thousand year Royal Jelly here!


    "The thousand-year royal jelly is a treasure born from the body of Queen Bee during her evolution. Using it can greatly increase the human body''s compatibility and sensitivity to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, thus allowing ordinary people to evolve into a genius!"


    As he spoke, Xiao Feng had already circled around the cave and arrived in a spacious inner room. As soon as he entered, he was stunned by the scene before him!


    In the inner chamber, all the jade peaks had gone after the enemy, leaving behind a huge beehive upside down on the ceiling like a big bowl. It was transparent like a divine object, exquisite beyond compare. It emitted a dazzling light, appearing dim and bright at the same time.


    "This is ¡­" Suddenly, Long Ling''s surprised voice was heard. With a flash of light from Xiao Feng''s chest, a faint dragon-shaped shadow appeared in front of Xiao Feng. He looked at the beehive with shock!


    "Good fortune, this is really good fortune ¡­" Ever since Xiao Feng met Long Ling, it had been calm and indifferent no matter what he encountered. This was the first time it had shown such an emotion!


    "Long Ling, what happened to you?" Xiao Feng asked, but was interrupted by Long Ling, who spoke to Xiao Feng excitedly.


    "Quick, take a drop of blood essence and drip it into the hive. I''ll explain everything else to you later!" Under the urging of the dragon spirit, Xiao Feng squeezed out a drop of blood essence and wrapped it with the Azure Dragon''s Qi and placed it inside the beehive.


    As soon as the blood essence touched the beehive, it quickly fused into the beehive. At the same time, the beehive suddenly bloomed with a dazzling light that filled the sky. It was like a jade-colored sun, the divine glass!


    After a moment, when the rays of light that filled the sky dispersed, Xiao Feng slowly opened his eyes. Suddenly, he felt as though he had made a connection with something as his gaze landed on a beehive!

 C33

    "Now try to communicate with the hive!" Long Ling excitedly told Xiao Feng. Xiao Feng nodded in puzzlement.


    As he thought about it, the giant beehive on the ceiling of the cave trembled as if it had received an order. Then, to Xiao Feng''s astonishment, it rapidly shrank and became the size of a ring, hanging on Xiao Feng''s hair above his ears.


    "What''s going on?" Xiao Feng asked Long Ling in surprise. He didn''t know how to react to this strange phenomenon!


    The illusory image of Long Ling appeared once again, "This hive is a spiritual hive that is rarely seen in a thousand years. This hive must be formed from the most noble and pure blood of the Jade Peak, the Royal Jade Peak. In other words, it can be a peerless treasure!"


    This kind of royal jade mountain is extremely spiritual, but the growth cycle is very slow. It''s mainly to lay a very high foundation, and once it succeeds in transforming and evolving, it will definitely have a strong explosive period. Its terrifying innate strength is not inferior to some high level magical beasts or even divine beasts!


    Because there is no Jade Peak Group to provide the spirit energy for it, it almost failed in its evolution. At the critical moment, a drop of your blood essence helped it through this difficult time, and when it wakes up, you will be its master!


    Xiao Feng took the exquisite beehive from his hair and looked at this little thing in disbelief. He didn''t expect this little thing to be a treasure that could only be found by chance and not sought!


    "Hurry up and take the thousand year royal jelly. Otherwise, it will be very dangerous for Jade Peak to return. The Queen Bee will be in deep sleep. As long as you refine the royal jelly, Jade Peak will not target you!"


    Xiao Feng nodded excitedly and sat down cross-legged. His consciousness communicated with the beehive in his hair. With his will, a drop of sparkling and translucent glazed liquid dripped from the beehive and entered his mouth!


    As the thousand year Royal Jelly entered his mouth, a cool and refreshing fragrance instantly filled every inch of his body. Xiao Feng''s mind immediately entered a state of tranquility. The cells in his body were like dried up soil as they frantically absorbed the sweet dew!


    It was just like when a person ate. Xiao Feng''s physical body grew stronger and stronger, just like when he ate until he was full. The thousand year Royal Jelly was like water. Only when both food and water satisfied each other would he be able to live better!


    Gradually, the glazed glaze surrounded Xiao Feng. He was like a human glazed lamp, his entire body emitting a divine light. His hands formed a seal, and he sank into a state of cultivation that was clear and bright!


    A few hours later, a muffled sound suddenly exploded from within Xiao Feng''s body. The ethereal Spiritual Energy fluctuations that surrounded his body was accompanied by the Azure Dragon''s aura. At this moment, he had officially broken through to the middle stage of the Spirit Communication Stage and had reached the late stage!


    The thousand year royal jelly was a treasure that the Jade Peak King had created after countless years of fusing with the spirit energy of the entire Jade Peak Tribe. The spirit energy contained within the thousand year royal jelly could be imagined!


    Originally, due to his inability to cultivate spirit energy due to physical reasons, he could only channel dragon aura into his body to raise his cultivation level. Now that the thousand year royal jelly had increased the compatibility and sensitivity of his body and spirit energy by more than ten times, it could be said that just by relying on his talent in spiritual energy cultivation, the current Xiao Feng was incomparable to anyone!


    The beehive in Xiao Feng''s hair, along with the Spiritual Energy fluctuations on his body, suddenly emitted a color. It turned into a ray of light as it charged into Long Zhi''s body and stopped at his Dantian!


    "This is ¡­" Xiao Feng was once again shocked in his heart. He stared at the beehive in disbelief. "To use the beehive as my dantian, and cultivate my spirit energy body!"


    Xiao Feng couldn''t believe his eyes. After his dantian was destroyed from a young age, even if his compatibility with spirit energy was improved, he wouldn''t be able to store spirit energy. How could he not be shocked when the Jade Bee Nest fused with his body and turned into his dantian!


    The Jade Bee Nest was occupied by the Jade Peak King, within it, there would be more jade peaks continuously. The Jade Bees fed on spirit energy, in other words, he didn''t need to cultivate at all, just the Jade Peak could provide him with boundless spirit energy!


    The more he thought about it, the more incredulous Xiao Feng felt. However, he wasn''t someone who was lazy to eat and steal the fruits of his labour. He clearly knew in his heart that he had to diligently train and continuously replenish his Jade Peak.


    As he slowly opened his eyes, Xiao Feng''s body was covered in a thick, sticky, fishy substance. It was the thousand-year-old royal jelly that once again washed his muscles and marrows, expelling the magazine from his body!


    After he finished cleaning his body, a large group of jade peaks pressed forward like a dark cloud and entered the Poison Wasp Cave. They flew around Xiao Feng''s body for a while before turning into specks of light and merged into Xiao Feng''s Dantian!


    After the Jade Bees fused with his dantian, Xiao Feng immediately felt a majestic and boundless Spiritual Energy surging into his body. The Spiritual Energy contained within the Jade Bees was much thicker than that of an ordinary Spirit Realm expert.


    After adjusting the excitement in his heart, Xiao Feng left the Poison Bee Cave under Long Ling''s guidance and continued forward.


    "Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, the Earth Spirit Shield is about to appear, hurry up!"


    "If you can''t make it to Mystic Yellow Valley before the Earth Spirit Shield appears, I''ll use you to test it out!"


    Xiao Feng was walking on the desert when suddenly, dozens of people rushed in front of him. Each of them used their bodies to increase their speed to their fastest speed and rushed out.


    In less than ten minutes, another group of people quickly passed Xiao Feng. Looking at how anxious they were, he couldn''t help but be curious!


    "This big brother, may I ask what happened ahead? Why do so many people seem to be in a hurry? " Xiao Feng stopped a person and asked.


    "You don''t even know this, why did you come to the Earth Domain? The Earth Spirit Shield of the Earth Element Region is about to appear. In the Profound Yellow Valley just five kilometers away, everyone is fighting for the Earth Spirit Shield. Sigh, I won''t tell you anymore, I''m going too! "


    That person gave Xiao Feng a strange look. After a casual explanation, he quickly caught up to the others and headed towards the Black Yellow Valley.


    "The Earth Spirit Shield has appeared?" You should go and take a look. Perhaps you can even obtain it. That is the Earth Domain''s best lucky chance! "


    Xiao Feng nodded. Although he had never heard of the Earth Spirit Shield before, if Long Ling wanted him to go, it meant that even the things that the Dragon Spirit had set his eyes on were definitely not ordinary!


    The Five Elements Saint is divided into five regions, and each region has a treasure of different attributes. Every thousand years, when their master dies, the treasure will automatically return to the Five Elements Saint.


    "The Earth Spirit Shield is the supreme treasure of the Earth Domain. In addition, there are the Gold Spirit Axe, Water Spirit Pearl, Wooden Spirit Vine, and Fire Spirit Crystal. It is a treasure of the Five Element!"

 C34

    Under Long Ling''s explanation, Xiao Feng had already followed many people to the Yellow Mud Valley. As they got closer and closer to the valley, more and more people appeared in their line of sight!


    "Young Lord, the Li Clan''s people have already been lured to Duanren Cliff by us, and are now in our ambush!" Xiao Feng followed the crowd and was suddenly attracted by a group of people with strange clothing!


    "Hehe, good, well done, Southern Song Country''s Li Clan. This time, how can I make you oppose me? I will order the people of the First Pin Hall to not let them run away. We will go right now!"


    The youth in the lead had a scimitar hanging from his waist. He was playing with a folding fan as he smiled sinisterly. With a wave of his hand, he fled into the distance!


    Xiao Feng''s eyes hesitated for a moment before he caught up to a few strange people. It was not because of any reason but because the two words'' Song Country ''made his heart unsettled.


    An hour later, the youth brought his subordinates to an extremely steep mountain. On the other side of the mountain was a precipitous cliff that fell down vertically. It was as if a knife had cut into it, as smooth as the surface of a mirror!


    "Your Highness, you''ve come!" After the youth appeared, three people wearing different clothes quickly walked towards him and respectfully greeted him.


    The young man arrogantly nodded his head, letting out an "En" from his nose, and disdainfully said, "Speak, how do you want to deal with your big brother? This time I''ve attracted him! "


    A vicious glint flashed in the eyes of the leader of the three, and his right hand suddenly slashed at his neck, coldly spitting out three words!


    "Kill without mercy!"


    The youth laughed loudly. "Good! Li Ran, you are really ruthless. You even killed your own big brother. It seems that you are going all out for this throne!"


    Li Ran looked towards a direction that wasn''t far away and coldly snorted. He didn''t say anything else as his eyes were filled with hatred.


    "Very well, in that case, you must remember your promise. Once you have succeeded and have ascended to the throne, you must give up three cities to my Western Xia. Otherwise, my Western Xia will definitely invade your Southern Song City!"


    Xiao Feng watched this scene from afar, his eyes filled with shock and hatred. In his entire life, the thing he hated the most was to sell his country for honor, to sell out the people of his own country for his own selfish desires!


    This Li Ran actually dared to collude with foreign countries in order to fight for the throne of the Emperor. Such a heartless person had caused Xiao Feng to feel boundless killing intent in his heart!


    At the edge of the cliff, seven or eight armed soldiers were surrounding a young man, looking around vigilantly.


    "Young master, didn''t you say that Second Young Master and the others are surrounded here? How come there''s no one here? " A soldier asked doubtfully.


    The youth in the middle had an imposing aura. He had delicate features, and his entire body was exuding a rich and noble manly aura. His eyes looked around him, and they flickered with a brilliant light of wisdom!


    I think we fell for it!" After a long while, a smile appeared on his face and he revealed a handsome smile without a trace of panic. He was the current Crown Prince of the Southern Song Country, Li Shuo.


    "What?" The leader of the soldiers was shocked, all the muscles on his body tensed up as he looked at his surroundings. Who would be so daring to plot against them?


    Li Shuo smiled and said loudly without a care, "Other than those despicable people in the Western Xia Dynasty, who else would go against us?"


    "Am I right? Xia Qing, there''s no need to hide. Come out!"


    Just as he finished speaking, Xia Qing and his subordinates appeared in front of him, laughing loudly.


    "He is indeed worthy to be the future successor of the Southern Song Dynasty. I am impressed with his courage and foresight!" Xia Qing smiled as he spoke to Li Shuo.


    "Alright, let''s cut the crap. What is the purpose of luring us here? Speak!" Li Shuo stood with his hands behind his back as he walked up to Xia Qing.


    "Nothing much. I just heard that you''re the number one genius of the Southern Song, not only are you resourceful, but you also have a talent for cultivation. I''ve wanted to experience this for a long time!"


    "Bastard, who do you think you are? With your little Western Xia Barbarians, you think you are qualified to challenge our Young Master? If you know what''s good for you, then scram immediately, or else I''ll kill you all! "


    The leader of the soldiers standing behind Li Shuo glared angrily at Xia Qing as he spoke with an ice-cold expression.


    "What did you say?" If you have the guts, say it again! " Xia Qing''s expression darkened. As the crown prince of the Western Summer Country, there was actually someone who dared to call him a barbarian. The person behind him was even more furious as he tightly gripped his weapon in his hand.


    "Where''s my second brother? What have you done to him? " Li Shuo had come to rescue him because he heard that his second brother was trapped. Although the relationship between him and his second brother was not friendly, it was still a family!


    "Your second brother? Of course it''s in my hands, but it''s not that easy for you to save him! " Xia Qing smiled sinisterly.


    "Xia Qing, I''m not as bored as you are. I still have a lot of things to do, so I don''t have time to play with you. Let''s go!"


    Li Shuo shook his head as he spoke to Xia Qing. Then, he turned around and was about to leave as he spoke to the people behind him.


    "Play? Who has the heart to play with you? "Li Shuo, if you don''t care about Li Ran''s life, then just leave. I won''t be able to guarantee his safety!"


    Li Shuo''s eyes focused as he turned his head to stare at Xia Qing. A threatening cold light shot towards Xia Qing, causing Xia Qing to be unable to help from being shocked.


    "Bastard, hurry up and release the second prince for me, otherwise, you Western Xia will wait for my Southern Song Dynasty''s troops to arrive at the city gates and flatten your old lair!" The leader shouted in anger.


    "Tell me, what do you want?" Li Shuo''s calm gaze contained an unconcealable sharpness as he spoke indifferently with his hands behind his back.


    Xia Qing laughed, his eyes filled with ridicule. "Very simple. Your Second Brother is now halfway down Duanren Cliff, so as long as you have the ability to rescue him, I will naturally release him!"


    "Young master, you can''t agree to his request. He''s obviously plotting something, and he''s actually plotting something in his heart!" The leader quickly said.


    The cliff was incomparably smooth, and there was not even a place for him to exert his strength. No matter how good his movement technique was, it would probably be difficult!


    Xia Qing chuckled. "I forgot to remind you, that hole is Baleful Yin Batcave. It only eats human flesh. If you think about it, I''m afraid ¡­"


    "Xia Qing, I hope that you will keep your word. Otherwise, even if the Southern Song were to start a war with your Western Xia, you will still have to pay the price!" He waved his hand to stop the dissuading leader as he arrived at the edge of Duanren Cliff.


    Looking down at the bottomless cliff, Li Shuo''s eyes flashed with determination. With a loud shout, a golden light appeared around his body and he jumped down!


    As his body was falling, Li Shuo''s dantian suddenly exerted strength, and both of his feet stepped on each other. At the same time, his palm constantly slammed down on the cliff, and his falling body actually gradually slowed down!

 C35

    Shua, shua, shua. On the cliff, Li Shuo''s body jumped up and down nonstop. Even if the cliff was smooth and didn''t have any point of support, he could still jump up and down as easily as an ape!


    "TIyun Zong!" Xiao Feng had already quietly made a detour. When he saw Li Shuo''s movement technique, he exclaimed with shock in his eyes. Even though TIyun was one of the top movement techniques in the martial arts world, he was extremely powerful!


    "Hmph, I don''t want to see him walk up here alive again!" Xia Qing''s expression was gloomy. He never thought that Li Shuo would actually be able to control such a martial arts!


    As he spoke, he waved his hand and numerous figures appeared on all sides. They were all emitting powerful auras and were actually all in the late stage of the Sea Cleaving Stage!


    "Xia Qing, what are you trying to do? You despicable scumbag! " The leader''s expression changed. He really fell into a trap.


    "What are you doing? What do you think I want to do? " Xia Qing sneered at the leader, a trace of cruelty flashing through his eyes!


    At the same time, Li Shuo''s body landed lightly in a cave on the cliff''s waist. It was pitch black in the damp cave, and he couldn''t even see his fingers in front of him.


    After familiarizing himself with the darkness, Li Shuo could faintly see things within a meter of him. Carefully and cautiously, he walked inside and immediately, the smell of blood came from inside.


    "Li Ran!" Li Shuo''s expression changed as he let out a loud shout and quickly walked forward. Along with his voice, numerous bright jade-green lights suddenly lit up in the darkness along with a sharp and ear-piercing hissing sound!


    "Yin Sha Bat!" With a shock in his heart, Li Shuo immediately broke out in a cold sweat. His eyes that were like stars in the night sky fell mercilessly upon him.


    Poof poof poof * Suddenly, the dots of light in the darkness suddenly exploded into a blinding green light. The dots of light that filled the sky instantly became chaotic and crisscrossed. With a puchi sound, countless Baleful Yin Bats suddenly attacked Li Shuo!


    He had long since heard of the Evil Yin Bats'' evil reputation. They were not strong individually, but they were a ferocious and cruel group of animals. The bat poison in their bodies was especially poisonous!


    Golden light revolved around both of his hands. Every time Li Shuo struck out with a palm or a fist, a bat would explode into blood mist and be swallowed in an instant by its companions. The Baleful Yin Bats that smelled the blood became even more berserk and charged forward without caring for their lives!


    Golden light surged in the darkness, and a bloody mist gushed out. The thick smell of blood made even more Baleful Yin Bats go crazy, and their originally dark green eyes gradually turned blood-red.


    Li Shuo''s face gradually turned pale, his fists could not even fight against four people. No matter how strong he was, facing the siege of countless bats, he still felt his spirit energy becoming weaker, and the feeling of weakness became more and more obvious!


    The intense pain made him cry out in pain, and he casually smashed the bat to pieces. Two small, sharp, black holes were left on his shoulders, and the black range was gradually spreading!


    Swish, swish, swish!


    At this moment, dozens of resplendent rays of light suddenly bloomed in the darkness. Their sharpness was filled with an ice-cold killing intent. As the light descended, countless Baleful Yin Bats died!


    However, the light didn''t slow down in the slightest and directly descended on Li Shuo''s head. The terrifying killing intent caused his eyes to narrow as he quickly retreated!


    As the light descended, it caused the cave to tremble. Ten black shadows simultaneously appeared at the cave entrance, the swords in their hands emitting a sharp chill!


    "Xia Qing''s men?" Li Shuo asked with a serious expression. However, the only response he got was to envelop himself with the airtight saber light of the sword qi. Each move was fatal!


    If Li Shuo was still able to fight back when he was at his peak state, he would have been able to survive after being consumed by the Baleful Yin Bats and even be poisoned. Li Shuo was not a match for the five of them!


    The sword aura was impenetrable, enveloping the originally narrow cave. Li Shuo''s shoulders had already started to become numb and unconscious. He could only dodge and attack in a sorry state!


    Pfft, a long blade suddenly slashed down from the darkness. Li Shuo could not dodge in time and could only move sideways at the most critical moment, barely dodging the fatal blow. However, a vicious gash still appeared on his back!


    "Go to hell!" As the saber light dissipated, a masked, black-clothed man appeared from the darkness. A majestic force slammed his palm on Li Shuo''s chest, causing his entire chest to collapse. He spat out a mouthful of fresh blood mixed with meat, and ruthlessly smashed onto the ground!


    "Kill!" The rest of the people rushed up emotionlessly. They raised their swords high up and aimed them at Li Shuo''s head. Their eyes were filled with a proud and mocking smile!


    Roar Roar Roar


    Suddenly, deafening dragon roars abruptly sounded out from the cave. Five dragon-shaped forces bared their fangs and brandished their claws as they roared. The tyrannical force shook the cave to the point of buzzing!


    "Who is it?" The black clothed man''s expression changed. He shouted out loud, but it was useless. The roaring divine dragon pounced on them and released its violent energy in all directions, sending them flying into the wall!


    "Despicable villain, you can kill anyone you want!" Xiao Feng landed lightly at the entrance of the cave and quickly walked into the cave. He stared coldly at the few black-clothed men!


    "Daring to mess with us, kill him!" The five of them roared loudly and directly struggled up from the ground. They wiped off the blood from the corners of their mouths and charged towards Xiao Feng once again!


    "I''ll use you guys to test my Spiritual Energy cultivation level!" Xiao Feng jumped up and landed in the middle of the five as he fought the five!


    In terms of close combat skills, Xiao Feng had never been afraid of anyone. Not to mention the myriad changes in the moves of the Dragon Drawing Arts, his own Central Plains martial arts skills alone were enough to deal with several people!


    A faint spiritual power wrapped around his body as the Jade Bee Nest in his dantian began to emit rays of light. An unending stream of spiritual power flowed out and fused into Xiao Feng''s eight veins!


    "Hahaha, this is great! I haven''t fought like this in a long time!" Ever since he started cultivating, he had never fought to his heart''s content. The only people he had to face were brats and brats, and the five of them were all in the late stage of the Sea Opening Realm. They were on par with him.


    In his previous life, a warrior at the late stage of the Sea Cleaving Stage would have been considered a top-level expert. Even a monk like that might not be able to defeat him!


    The more they fought, the more shocked they became. Just who were these five people? Why is it that despite only being at the late stage of the Spirit Realm, they are still inextricably linked to the five of them? Furthermore, all of them are a whole realm above us in the late stage of the Sea Opening Realm!


    "Who exactly are you?" "One of them could not help but ask in a deep voice." We are the people of the Prince of Western Xia, His Highness Xia Qing.


    "Despicable scumbag, you only know how to plot against others, you are unworthy to know my name!" Xiao Feng let out a loud roar and the Proud Dragon Repents swept out. The Wandering Dragon Steps followed closely behind him. The Grandmaster''s fist landed on their flesh. Under his storm-like attack, the five people all spat out blood and fell to the ground, dying!

 C36

    "Your Highness, are you alright?" Xiao Feng looked at the few of them and hurriedly helped up the dying Li Shuo. At this moment, most of Li Shuo''s body had already turned green and black. Adding to the numerous wounds on his body, he was already close to death!


    "Many... Thank you for saving me... It''s just that I''ve already been poisoned and I won''t be able to live much longer ¡­ "I can''t repay benefactor anymore ¡­"


    Li Shuo forced himself to endure the pain in his body as he stuttered, "But ¡­" My second brother, Li Ran, is still in their hands. "Benefactor, please save him ¡­"


    Xiao Feng carried Li Shuo and sat him down cross-legged to heal his injuries. Such a righteous and benevolent person could not die just like this. In the future, if he became the emperor of the Southern Song, the citizens would definitely live and work in peace!


    "Extremely poisonous. Oh right, it''s my blood!" Suddenly, a thought appeared in Xiao Feng''s mind. He was immune to poisons. He didn''t know which was stronger: the venom of the Raging Python or the poison of the Baleful Yin Bat!


    Xiao Feng picked up a long sword and slashed it at his own hand. Blood immediately dripped.


    "Benefactor ¡­ "You ¡­" Li Shuo struggled to sit up and said weakly.


    "Don''t talk, drink it!" Xiao Feng''s expression remained unchanged as he dripped each drop of blood into Li Shuo''s mouth. As the blood entered Li Shuo''s mouth, the green-black color on his body rapidly receded like the tide!


    Squeak squeak. The moment Xiao Feng''s blood appeared, the Baleful Yin Bat, which was hiding in the darkness, suddenly let out a sharp sound. Its eyes were red as it charged over!


    Xiao Feng shouted coldly. He gave Li Shuo blood with one hand and casually waved his other hand. Countless sword Qis suddenly whizzed out and turned into a sharp sword net that enveloped countless bats!


    The sword qi was unstoppable and incomparably sharp. After comprehending the Sword Laws, the sword qi that Xiao Feng casually used was stronger than the sword qi of the five black-clothed men!


    An hour later, Li Shuo''s breathing had become much smoother. The poison in his body had already been completely removed by Xiao Feng''s blood, but the injuries all over his body caused him to be extremely weak and unable to move!


    Xiao Feng casually flipped his hand and a drop of crystal clear Royal Jelly appeared in his hand. He wrapped it with his Spiritual Energy and poured it into Li Shuo''s mouth. Only after seeing his face gradually recover did he secretly heave a sigh of relief!


    With the help of the royal jelly, the injuries all over Li Shuo''s body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. His complexion also gradually became rosy!


    Four hours later, when Li Shuo had completely recovered, he did not wake up. Instead, he closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing.


    Xiao Feng smiled slightly and sat down cross-legged as well. He quietly guarded Li Shuo''s side until a muffled sound rang out!


    Li Shuo slowly opened his eyes. A heavy yet sharp aura spread out from his body, forming circle after circle of ripples. The powerful aura made the remaining Baleful Yin Bats squeak!


    "Benefactor''s great kindness is like rebirth. There is nothing Li Shuo can do to repay you. Please accept Li Shuo''s respect!" Li Shuo stood up and knelt before Xiao Feng as he spoke respectfully.


    "Your Highness, you are too serious for me. Please rise. Congratulations on successfully breaking through the sea barrier and entering the Weapon Condensation Realm!" Xiao Feng hurriedly helped Li Shuo up and cupped his fist as he spoke.


    Li Shuo was already half a step into the Weapon Condensation Realm. After being heavily injured, he had consumed Xiao Feng''s blood, which had been nourished by the Dragon Qi.


    With Xiao Feng propping Li Shuo up, he could deeply feel that he had undergone a tremendous change from before. His sensitivity to Spiritual Energy had increased by more than ten times. If he was called a genius before, then he was definitely a monster now!


    "I have no way to repay benefactor''s great kindness. If I, Li Shuo, and the Western Xia are of any use in the future, I will ascend the mountain of blades and descend the sea of flames. I will die for sure!"


    Xiao Feng hurriedly returned the greeting. "Your Highness is too serious. Your Highness is benevolent and righteous, with a kind heart. In the future, you will definitely be an enlightened monarch. If Your Highness really wants to repay, please treat the people kindly!"


    After that, Xiao Feng told Li Shuo everything he had seen and heard. When he told him that Li Ran colluded with Xia Qing to kill him, his eyes flashed with a trace of heartache!


    "This little brother of mine has been spoiled since he was young, spending all his days without working, doing nothing. For this reason, my royal father didn''t dare to call him a crown prince and passed on the throne to him!"


    Li Shuo shook his head in disappointment and said to Xiao Feng, "I often lecture to him, causing our relationship to become discordant over time. It''s just that ¡­"


    Never in his wildest dreams did he imagine that his younger brother would collude with outsiders to murder him for the sake of the throne.


    "Your Highness, since Xia Qing has agreed to help Li Ran, I''m afraid his goal isn''t just three cities ¡­"


    Xiao Feng''s words caused Li Shuo''s expression to turn serious as he nodded. It was likely that the difficulty of the matter was far beyond his imagination!


    After exchanging a few words, the two of them left the Batcave and returned to the top of Duanren Cliff. What they saw was a bloody scene!


    Several soldiers and their leader had already been killed, and fresh blood flowed all over the ground. There were traces of a fierce battle everywhere, and a disgusting stench was emitted.


    Li Shuo looked at the guards on the ground. These people had once interacted with him from day to night and were close to him. He never thought that they would actually lose their lives here.


    Under Xiao Feng''s persuasion, the two of them buried the corpse. Li Shuo respectfully bowed towards the grave, making Xiao Feng have a higher opinion of this benevolent lord!


    "Let''s hurry up and leave. The Earth Spirit Shield has probably already appeared!" Li Shuo looked into the distance and arranged his emotions as he spoke to Xiao Feng.


    "Everyone hurry up and leave. The Earth Spirit Shield has appeared in the Valley of Xuanhuang. All forces are fighting. They might be able to take advantage of this situation!"


    While Xiao Feng and Li Shuo were on their way, a group of people were rushing toward the Profound Yellow Valley in a frenzy. Looking from afar, the Profound Yellow Valley''s earthy yellow spirit energy shot into the sky, accompanied by a wave of rolling dust!


    "Brother, may I ask how is the Black Yellow Valley doing?" Xiao Feng stopped a person and asked.


    That person looked strangely at Xiao Feng and Li Shuo, "You still don''t know? The Earth Spirit Shield has already appeared, but at the same time, the demonic beast that protects the treasure also awakened, protecting the Earth Spirit Shield against the experts. The situation is very dangerous!"


    Xiao Feng and Xiao Kun looked at each other. They could see the solemnity in each other''s eyes. Then, they sped up and rushed towards the Black Yellow Valley!


    The Black Yellow Valley was actually a huge basin. At this moment, sand and rocks were flying about inside it, the wind was blowing and the clouds were billowing. Violent fluctuations raged through the space as a few figures were battling against a huge black shadow!


    "My Soul Sect will have the Earth Spirit Shield. Please give my Soul Sect some face, otherwise, I will personally visit you in the future!"

 C37

    "Hmph, so what if you''re from the Soul Sect? "My Maha Clan is afraid that you won''t succeed. If you want to obtain the Earth Spirit Shield, then you must first pass me!"


    "Everyone, Purple Cloud Temple is determined to obtain this Earth Spirit Shield. Who should it belong to, just based on your strength!"


    An overwhelming amount of spirit energy swept out, with three powerful figures leading the way. Dozens of strong people followed closely behind, all of them engaged in a chaotic battle!


    In the battle circle of the Black Yellow Valley, a huge black figure over ten meters long was rolling around and fighting against the crowd. Heavy scales covered his dark yellow skin, and the fins on the back of his head flapped like wings as his venomous teeth flashed with a cold light!


    The rings of battle were clearly divided into four factions. There were even some small factions that intervened in an attempt to get something out of it. No one was allowed to have any advantage!


    Xiao Feng and Li Shuo stepped into the crowd. Due to Li Shuo''s special identity, after changing his appearance slightly, it was difficult for him to recognize Li Shuo. As he watched the intense battle, he was extremely shocked in his heart!


    "Ignorant humans, leave this place immediately. Otherwise, you''ll all die without a burial ground!" The thick tail of the serpent swept out, actually speaking in human language.


    "This Xiang Snake already possesses an extremely high spiritual wisdom, its strength has already surpassed the soldier condensation realm, it must have reached the spirit raising realm!" Xiao Feng thought in his heart.


    "Evil creature, obediently hand over the Earth Spirit Shield. This old man will spare your life, or else I will not forgive you!" The head of the Soul Sect, Demon Spirit, shouted with a deep voice.


    "Li Snake, if you are willing to take me as your master, my Maha clan will guarantee your safety, and our future prospects are limitless!" Maha Ming Dong said, unwilling to be outdone.


    "You are putting on an act. There is no need for you to be so hypocritical. If you want the treasures, you can take them by your own ability!" Purple Cloud Daoist sneered and mocked.


    "Foolish humans, you will pay the price!" The large serpent let out a sharp hissing sound, and its enormous body was covered with a lingering earthen light. The entire Black Yellow Valley suddenly began to tremble!


    Numerous strange lines continued to appear on its enormous body, flickering with a strange light. Faintly, an aura that seemed to originate from ancient times began to fluctuate!


    "Be careful, this is a natural divine ability passed down from a serpent, its power cannot be underestimated!" When Long Ling''s voice sounded, it caused Xiao Feng to be shocked!


    "The Five Spiritual Treasures originated from the ancient era. As the guardian beast of the Earth Spirit Shield, the Undead Snake''s bloodline is extremely powerful, especially when complemented with the Earth Spirit Shield!"


    Strange lines gradually lit up one after another. As more and more rays of light bloomed, the ferocious and desolate aura within the Profound Yellow Valley suddenly swept over, causing sand and rocks to fly everywhere, forming a terrifying tornado!


    hiss hiss hiss


    The serpent flicked its tongue and its eyes were filled with an ice-cold bloodthirsty killing intent. It had only locked onto the three forces. The instant the lines lit up, the entire Valley of Mystic Yellow immediately began to shake!


    Puff! Puff! Puff! Suddenly, huge earth spikes drilled out from the ground one after another. Without any preparation, these spikes shot out from the ground and directly tore apart many people!


    The expressions of the three people became serious. The disciples behind them all let out miserable cries, but they could only protect themselves. Boundless spirit energy continued to leak out, shattering the Earth Spike. But in the next moment, another Earth Spike grew out!


    "Hiss ¡­" "What a terrifying Demonic Beast ¡­"


    "I''m afraid that the three sects are at a disadvantage. As the guardian beast of the Earth Spirit Shield, it is indeed ferocious!"


    In the arena, the demon spirit, Maha You, and Purple Cloud Faction used all of their strength. They were constantly being forced back by the earth spikes, and even though Purple Cloud Faction''s Daoist Master waved his long purple sword, it still wasn''t able to block the earth spikes'' wild growth speed!


    "Let''s join hands and kill this bastard first before deciding on the location of the Earth Spirit Shield. What do you think?" As the Demon Spirit''s solemn voice sounded out, Daoist Purple Cloud and Maha You could only nod their heads!


    "Let''s attack together. Only by stopping the main body can we remove the main body!" Maha You gave a loud shot and his entire body began to emit a purple light. He flew towards the snake, and at the same time, Purple Cloud Daoist and Demon Spirit struck out!


    Rumble! Rumble! * However, the moment they attacked, thick walls of earth suddenly rose up from the ground from all directions, completely trapping them within.


    Puff! Puff! Puff! The earth spikes continued to grow crazily under their feet. The three people who were trapped in the wall madly attacked under their feet. At the same time, they attacked the walls together in an attempt to break out of the encirclement!


    The Earth Spirit Shield was a defensive earth-attributed treasure that was famous for its defensive powers. How could it possibly have the ability to withstand it? Every attack was like a clay ox entering the sea, useless!


    "Shua!" Suddenly, a huge black shadow abruptly enveloped them. The huge snake tail suddenly descended from the sky. Its unreasonable and terrifying strength caused the pupils of the three people to constrict!


    A pair of double hooks appeared in Demon Spirit''s hands, and Maha You held a copper hammer in your hands. The three of them had solemn expressions. Finally, they no longer held anything back. Three terrifying destructive energies suddenly shot outwards!


    Three rays of purple, black, and blue light shot into the sky, fiercely colliding with the snake tail. At the same time, the three of them, with Maha You as their leader, were able to display the full strength of a spirit raising realm martial artist. Under the crazy hammer that was smashed down by Maha''s copper hammer, they were finally able to break through the defensive wall and escape danger!


    Hiss, hiss, hiss. As soon as they left the encirclement, the fierce and bloodthirsty sounds of the proverbial serpent echoed in the air once more. Countless grains of yellow sand gathered in the valley, forming three roaring earth dragons that clawed at the three people!


    "This serpent is quite good. It actually comprehended a trace of the Law Energy that can evolve into a dragon. It seems that you have a very good chance of obtaining the Earth Spirit Shield!"


    Long Ling''s indifferent voice sounded in Xiao Feng''s ears. Her words revealed a trace of a smile. Xiao Feng''s expression also became serious, but soon after, his brows furrowed even more!


    "Kill!" Killing intent filled the eyes of these three people as they were suppressed again and again by the serpent. As the masters of their sect, they had already lost all their face. They all took the initiative to rush out!


    "Ten Thousand Evils!" An indistinct voice rang out from the Demon''s Soul. A cold light emerged from the twin hooks in his hand. Monstrous black fog suddenly surged out from behind him. Countless scarlet skulls filled the air!


    "Thunder God''s Hammer!" Maha You angrily shouted. He raised the copper hammer in his hand. In an instant, it was as if a god of thunder had descended into the world. The savage phantom of the copper hammer appeared in the sky!


    "Extreme Violet Slash!" The Purple Cloud Daoist was not to be outdone. The long sword in his hand glowed with a purple light and shot out countless sharp sword energies. It tore through the air and turned into a purple rainbow that pierced through the horizon, charging straight towards the snake!


    No matter how strong the defensive power of the three deadly attacks was, a trace of fear flashed through the ice-cold pupils of the snake. It''s massive body rolled around as a dark yellow light suddenly bloomed!


    The three ultimate attacks pierced through the air, causing the void to tremble. There was even a crack in the air. The snake was hit seven inches away, and all of them charged towards the seven inches position of the snake!


    Weng


    Suddenly, a burst of dazzling light pierced through the sky. Amidst the light that filled the sky, a thick and heavy huge shield appeared in front of the serpent. The shield was densely packed with engravings of mysterious and mysterious patterns, faintly forming the appearance of a huge Black Tortoise!

 C38

    Boom! Boom! Boom! The violent and destructive attacks all landed on the Earth Spirit Shield. Mysterious lines lit up on the shield, forming small dense vortexes that crazily dissolved the endless spiritual energy attack!


    The body of the snake violently trembled. It and the Earth Spirit Shield were one and the same. When the Earth Spirit Shield was attacked, he was also affected by it. After all, the opponent was a team of three masters at the same level as him!


    Break! Break! A powerful light suddenly exploded in the trio''s eyes. Boundless spirit energy once again shot up into the sky. An even more ferocious power surged into the Earth Spirit Shield!


    Bang! With a loud muffled sound, the Earth Spirit Shield suddenly bloomed, after that it quickly dimmed, and under the powerful attack, it became a beam of light, piercing into the body of the snake!


    The snake let out a hiss. The Earth Spirit Shield was injured, and it also received quite a bit of backlash. In addition to the outside world''s terrifying crisis, its dense snake pupils constricted!


    Peng peng peng, the violent attack landed on its body. Even though it was covered by thick scales, it was still wounded in the eye. The scales were festering and blood flowed from wounds of various sizes!


    "Evil creature, let''s see where you can run to this time!" After the three of them succeeded in their first strike, Maha You shouted out loud. He grasped his copper hammer and rushed forwards once more, followed by the Purple Cloud Daoist as well as the Demon Spirit behind him.


    The serpent emitted a sharp hissing sound. Its body that was seriously injured was simply unable to block this fatal attack. Its bloodthirsty pupils swept out in all directions, causing its pupils to suddenly narrow!


    Buzz! As the attack fell, a terrifying Spiritual Energy tore through the air and slashed down with a loud bang, bringing with it a wave of ear-piercing sonic booms!


    Peng, another low sound rang out as the Earth Spirit Shield was once again summoned by the snake. The dim light once again sank under the attack and directly returned to its body. The snake also suffered a heavy injury, the wounds on its body opened up once again as fresh blood madly flowed out.


    However, with the help of the Earth Spirit Shield''s pushing force, the serpent endured the injuries within its body and suddenly transformed into a streak of profound light that shot out, attacking Xiao Feng who was in the crowd!


    Xiao Feng''s pupils shrank. He didn''t even have time to react before he felt something in his body. The serpent had actually used him as its master and drilled into his body!


    "Who?" Who dares to sit back and take in the power of the fisherman again? " The faces of the three men changed. Their faces darkened to the point that they were about to drip water.


    Regardless of whether it was the Soul Sect, Maha, or even Purple Cloud Dao Temple, all of them were vicious and illustrious existences that they simply could not afford to provoke. They all stepped back, leaving Xiao Feng and Li Shuo standing dumbfounded in the center!


    "Who are you? You actually dare to oppose us? You will be able to reap the rewards of this situation, and if you know what''s good for you, quickly hand over the Earth Spirit Shield, or else I will kill you as well! "


    The ice-cold voice of the Demon Spirit directly pulled the dazed Xiao Feng back. Its faint pupils were filled with an ice-cold chill as it pointed its two hooks straight at Xiao Feng!


    "Everyone has misunderstood, I''m not sitting here reaping the rewards. I don''t have that intention. I don''t know what happened, but it ran into my body. I can''t even communicate with it by myself right now!"


    All of this happened too fast. In just a split-second, he had turned himself into the target of the crowd. Three Spirit Nurturing Stage experts wasn''t something he could fight against!


    "Cut the crap, hurry up and hand over that evil creature and the Earth Spirit Shield, or else we''ll take them ourselves!" Maha said in a muffled voice as the copper hammer fell onto the ground.


    "Don''t talk rubbish with him. I think that since he dared to snatch it, he must have some sort of backing. He definitely wouldn''t hand it over so easily. Let''s kill him together then take the treasure!"


    Without another word, Daoist Violet Cloud''s eyes flashed with a vicious sword light. The long sword in his hand struck at Xiao Feng''s head, his actions were vicious, mainly taking the enemy''s life!


    "All of you are famous figures, yet you all are joining hands to target a nameless junior. Aren''t you all afraid of being mocked by the world''s heroes?"


    Xiao Feng''s expression changed as he evaded the strike of the Purple Cloud Daoist with the Wandering Dragon Steps. He said with a deep voice, "Indiscriminately killing a person without a doubt is simply disregarding the lives of others!"


    "Hmph, so what if I bully you? What can you do to me? With the Earth Spirit Shield, I want to see who dares to laugh at us! " Maha You also raised his copper hammer and walked forwards step by step. They surrounded Xiao Feng from the front and back!


    "Everyone, I think this is all a misunderstanding. I can guarantee that Brother Xiao did not intend to seize the Earth Spirit Shield. Everyone has seen the situation with their own eyes and he did not do it himself!"


    Li Shuo hurriedly stood out to defend Xiao Feng. Three Spirit Nurturing Stage powerhouses, no matter how heaven-defying Xiao Feng was, would only be thirteen or fourteen years old. He would not be a match for any of them, not to mention the three of them working together!


    "Who are you? What right did he have to speak here? Get lost, or I''ll kill you too! " The Purple Cloud Daoist sneered, and pointed his sword straight at Li Shuo!


    "I ¡­" Li Shuo''s expression was ugly. Just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Xiao Feng.


    "Fellow brother, thank you for your kind intentions. It''s just that these people are very decent and do not understand reason. I hope you will withdraw so that you will not be harmed!"


    Xiao Feng cupped his fist at Li Shuo and gave him a meaningful glance. His gaze glanced at Xia Qing in the crowd below as he spoke in a clear voice.


    "I''ll give you another chance. Scram. Otherwise, don''t blame me for being ruthless!"


    Li Shuo laughed out loud and cupped his fists towards Xiao Feng. "Even if you want to kill me, I will not retreat. It is impossible for me to see this injustice happen with my own eyes!"


    Xiao Feng had done him an enormous favor. Now that he was in such a dangerous situation and wanted to make Li Shuo abandon his benefactor and leave, he couldn''t do it no matter what. Instead, he walked up and stood side by side with Xiao Feng!


    "Alright, it''s rare to be able to have a bosom friend in my life. I, Xiao Feng, am able to get to know you because of a great fortune in my life. If we didn''t die today, we would have drunk three hundred cups of wine in one day!" Xiao Feng laughed heartily and nodded to Li Shuo as he spoke straightforwardly.


    "Ha ha-ha ha, good! It''s been a long time since I''ve met such a chivalrous person. It''s just that I''m not a chivalrous person. Since you want to die, I''ll send you to your deaths!"


    The three glanced at each other. Daoist Violet Cloud''s eyes locked onto Li Shuo, and the Demon Spirit and Maha You quickly rushed towards Xiao Feng. In order to compete for the Earth Spirit Shield, they had to end this battle quickly.


    Roar Roar Roar


    Xiao Feng''s expression was grave. Facing the combined attack of two great Spirit Nurturing Stage powerhouses, he had no choice but to use 120% of his mental strength against the enemy. He even used the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms without holding back!


    For a time, the entire Black Yellow Valley Divine Dragon roared, the dragon roar shook the sky, endless sound waves swept up a terrifying dust cloud. Under the support of both Xiao Feng and the Dragon Qi, the might of Xiao Feng''s Spiritual Qi increased sharply!


    "What kind of technique is this? It''s so strong!" "He was actually able to hold out for more than ten moves against two great spirit raising realm practitioners with his strength at the late stage of the Spirit Realm!"

 C39

    They were well aware of how terrifying the strength of a Spirit Nurturing Stage was. A person who was able to display such fighting strength at the mere late stage of the Spirit Opening Stage was definitely a monster!


    "Kid, as long as you hand over the cultivation method you''re cultivating, I can spare your life!" When the Demon Spirit fought, he also noticed that Xiao Feng''s cultivation technique was not ordinary. Even though he had only used 20% of his strength, it was still not something that a Spirit Realm cultivator could endure!


    "If you want to fight, then fight. Why waste your breath!" Xiao Feng shouted coldly. Even though he had been suppressed to the point where he had no way to fight back, he continued to become more and more fierce as his fighting spirit overflowed into the heavens!


    "Wow!" Once these words were spoken, another commotion arose. The Demon Spirit''s expression turned completely cold. A mighty Spirit Cultivating Stage expert was actually looked down upon by an ant at the late stage of the Spirit Opening Stage!


    The difference in strength was too great. The other party had only used twenty percent of his strength, if he were to seriously attack, he would have already died!


    Roaring and growling, Xiao Feng took a step back and forcefully suppressed the roiling blood and Qi in his body. He quickly formed a seal with his hands and a violent and ferocious power began to wreak havoc with him as the center!


    "Nine Dragons Devouring the Heavens!"


    A deep voice came from his throat. He extracted the boundless azure dragon''s aura from his body without reservation, and destructive dragon-shaped fluctuations shot up from his hands into the sky!


    This was not the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, but a higher level martial art beyond it. This was a genuine martial art recorded by the Dragon Subduing Secret Art. It was a martial art that could not be cultivated on Earth!


    Roar roar roar. Two divine dragons soared from his hands, letting out heaven-shaking roars. The dragon took on a solid form as it swooped down, carrying with it a monstrous divine might, sweeping towards the two of them!


    Nine Dragons Devouring the Heavens. In short, after reaching the pinnacle of cultivation, nine Dragons coming out together would be an easy feat. However, the current Xiao Feng could only produce two divine dragons!


    However, the dragon-eating martial arts of the Nine Dragons were on a completely different level compared to the Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms'' technique, ''Twin Dragons Goes to Sea''!


    "Good job!" The Demon Spirit gave a loud shout as a faint black light blossomed from its hand. It struck out a palm towards Xiao Feng, causing the black light to immediately increase greatly. The two divine dragons were instantly crushed under the black light without any resistance!


    "Go to hell!" Maha You''s wild and violent aura attacked. The copper hammer in his hand suddenly smashed down at Xiao Feng''s head. This terrifying strength was able to split apart the heavens and earth. If he was struck by this, even if he didn''t die, he would lose a layer of skin!


    "He''s dead for sure. This hammer strike isn''t something that any Spirit Channeling stage can withstand!"


    "That''s right, this person is indeed a genius. It''s a pity that he can''t grow to the end, otherwise his future will be limitless!"


    All of the hairs on Xiao Feng''s body stood on end. He grit his teeth in his heart at this critical moment. Under everyone''s sighing and astonished gazes, he slowly closed his eyes, allowing Maha You''s hammer strike to strike him!


    "What is he doing? Could he have been scared silly? "


    "He''s given up on resisting. How can he fight with a spirit raising realm practitioner when he''s just at the late stage of the spirit realm!"


    This was not his style. Otherwise, he wouldn''t have risked his life just to fight. But as the hammer smashed down, it created a strong wind that blew away all the surrounding people!


    Weng weng weng


    As everyone was discussing in shock, a wave of energy that was several times more violent than before and filled with a destructive energy suddenly rippled out from Xiao Feng''s body. It was different from before; this time, it was purely destructive!


    "Light Dead Eye!"


    A low and hoarse voice came from his throat. Xiao Feng''s tightly shut eyes suddenly opened in an instant as a pair of ancient, desolate eyes appeared!


    The space in front of him began to shake and crack. A terrifying beam of chaotic light shot out from his eyes, rushing towards Maha You like a comet with a tail!


    "What, how is this possible!"


    A scream of terror rang out from the crowd. Everyone only felt a sharp pain in their eyes as they felt as though they were being torn apart. In an instant, they sank into darkness. Their expressions of fear froze on their faces!


    The Death Light Eye dragged its long tail. Cracks appeared in the space that the aura of desolation passed through. This strike caused Maha You''s complexion to change!


    Hong, Death Eyes ruthlessly slammed onto the huge copper hammer, emitting a world-shaking sound. The spectators had just recovered their vision, but their eardrums were once again torn apart and blood spewed out!


    With these two at the center, a terrifying spirit energy fluctuation rippled out in all directions, as if a supreme power were leaking into Maha You''s hands. It caused his arms to go numb, and the copper hammer was sent flying backwards.


    Xiao Feng''s eyes were bloodshot and a drop of blood dripped from the corner of his eye. He looked extremely terrifying, causing one''s heart to tremble. He had used Death Eyes, and most of the Spiritual Energy in his body had been drained!


    However, before he could recover, his many years of combat experience had taught him that he had to do it in one go. He had to not give the enemy any chance to catch his breath, or else he would never be able to turn the situation around!


    Forcefully suppressing the surging blood energy in his body, a trace of ruthlessness flashed across Xiao Feng''s blood-red eyes. His right foot stomped on the ground and his entire body took advantage of this opportunity to explosively dash forward.


    Maha You''s complexion sank. This person was truly crazy. He thought that he would dare to try and show off just because he had succeeded in a single move. He coldly snorted and rushed towards Xiao Feng at the same time!


    "Do you really think that the strength of the spirit raising realm is paper?" An ice-cold voice resounded throughout the entire Profound Yellow Valley as two bodies ruthlessly collided at the same time!


    Many close-combat martial arts were emitting power from Xiao Feng''s hands. Although the martial arts of the Central Plains were not as powerful as this world''s, they had their own unique techniques. Especially when activated with Spiritual Energy and Dragon''s Qi, its power was multiplied!


    Great Ancestor''s long fist, Shaolin''s unique martial arts were all powerful and profound, especially Shaolin''s unique martial arts. Since the creation of the sect, no one apart from the Grandmaster Damocles had successfully learned it.


    Although Xiao Feng had displayed the limit of his body, the difference in strength between the two was simply too great. Although Maha You wasn''t a fleshly body cultivator, every fist was like steel, causing one''s arm to go numb!


    The Wandering Dragon Steps was a movement technique recorded within the Dragon Guiding Arts. It was comprehended by Xiao Feng from the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms. At this time, he had also maximized his strength, but he was still not Maha''s opponent!


    "Proud Dragon Repents, Dragon Fights in the Wild!" Suddenly, the two Divine Dragons roared and a fierce and overbearing strength shot into the sky. Although they didn''t deal any substantial damage to Maha You, they were still able to affect his attack!


    Maha You casually destroyed the dragon aura. In the next moment, Xiao Feng had already arrived in front of him. The Great Dao''s mysteries rippled outwards. Suddenly, a jet-black finger pointed out!


    Boundless Calamity Poison Finger!


    Xiao Feng had gathered one of the trump cards that the Raging Python''s poison had condensed. Currently, he was even using one of Shaolin''s seventy-two ultimate skills, the Non-Phase Calamity Finger Technique. His speed was as fast as lightning and incomparably swift!

 C40

    Woosh woosh woosh woosh. The poison finger struck down like a bolt of lightning on Maha''s serene sandalwood. Shang Yin and Shaoze had three major acupoints, and the lethal poison instantly turned into a venomous snake that snuck into his body, causing his expression to change!


    "You''re courting death!" Maha You shouted out, and an icy numbness swept through his entire body. He angrily roared as he punched Xiao Feng in the chest. Xiao Feng fell to the ground like a kite with its string cut, blood spraying from his mouth.


    Maha You''s complexion was gloomy as he quickly revolved his cultivation method to expel the poison. However, his complexion quickly changed again. His vicious eyes wanted to skin Xiao Feng alive!


    The Raging Python''s poison was already extremely toxic, and ordinary people had a hard time resisting it. In addition, Xiao Feng had used the three main acupoints as the entrance and injected the poison into his body, causing the poison to quickly spread!


    Maha You didn''t know why, but forcefully circulating his cultivation to force the poison to spread even faster. In just a few breaths of time, the poison had already sunk deep into his organs!


    But as a spirit raising expert, no matter how powerful the poison was, it wouldn''t be able to harm him temporarily. However, it forced him to stop, otherwise it would only intensify the spread of the poison!


    "Hand over the antidote or I''ll make you suffer a fate worse than death!" A violent killing intent seemed to materialize as it tightly wrapped around Xiao Feng. Maha You''s face gradually turned purple black!


    Xiao Feng struggled to sit up from the ground. With a casual wave of his hand, a drop of crystal clear royal jelly was directly sent into his mouth. He quickly healed the injuries within his body, his eyes coldly staring at Maha You!


    "This poison has no antidote, I can only rely on my spiritual energy to force my way out bit by bit!" His words caused Maha You''s complexion to become twisted!


    "Then I''ll kill you!" Like a mad wild beast, a boundless slaughter and blood erupted from Maha You''s body. He roared as he was about to kill Xiao Feng!


    "If you want to kill me, then just do it. If you kill me, your poison will penetrate deep into your internal organs. At that time, even the deities will not be able to save you. I won''t lose anything by having a Spirit Nurturing Stage expert accompany you in death!"


    "Kill me! You won''t be able to obtain the Earth Spirit Shield, but you will have to sacrifice your life for the sake of others! If you still want to kill me in this way, then do it!"


    Xiao Feng closed his eyes and stood up without fear. He actually didn''t resist at all. However, Maha You''s complexion also changed. With a cold humph, he no longer moved!


    At the same time, Li Shuo fell to the ground covered in blood. His wounds were not light, and he had just entered the Weapon Condensation Realm. He did not even have the time to condense his spirit weapon, how could he be a match for Purple Cloud Daoist!


    Ding! Purple Cloud Daoist was vicious and ruthless. Li Shuo landed on the ground and took advantage of the opportunity to stab out. He was like a poisonous snake that came out of its cave and wanted to directly kill Li Shuo!


    Li Shuo''s face was pale. He wanted to resist, but his entire body was in pain. Numerous wounds covered his body as he watched the sword coming at him with narrowed eyes!


    "Stop!" Xiao Feng''s expression changed. His body, which had just recovered a little, once again charged forward. At the same time, the hive in his body, which was already dim, suddenly emitted a burst of light. The last bit of Spiritual Energy was forcefully extracted by him!


    Weng weng weng


    The spirit energy broke out from his body and turned into jade clouds. The jade mountain hummed as it rushed towards the Purple Cloud Daoist. His expression changed slightly as he raised his sword and released sword light, crazily shattering the jade mountain!


    Puchi. The long sword pierced through the swarm of bees like a hot knife through butter. It completely destroyed the swarm of bees. Following that, it pierced straight towards Li Shuo. At this critical moment, Xiao Feng''s body suddenly stood in front of Li Shuo to block him!


    "Brother Xiao, brother Xiao ¡­" Li Shuo''s expression changed drastically. Xiao Feng''s chest had been pierced by a sword, but he still remained as unmoving as a mountain in front of him. Both of his hands tightly gripped onto the sword''s edge!


    "In front of me, Xiao Feng, I will absolutely not allow a good brother to die because of me!" Xiao Feng closed his eyes and said to Li Shuo weakly.


    "Brother Xiao, persevere, persevere!" Li Shuo yelled out with a burning heart. He used everything he had to inject his Spiritual Energy into Xiao Feng''s body in an attempt to heal his injuries!


    "Hmph, go to hell!" Daoist Violet Cloud saw that Xiao Feng was about to fall under her sword and that Maha You had been poisoned. This was the best time to seize the Earth Spirit Shield!


    The long sword pierced into Xiao Feng''s body and left his hands. A vicious light flashed in his eyes as his hands formed a seal. He used his hands as swords and chopped out a long arc at the two of them!


    "Hmph, the Earth Spirit Shield is mine!" At this moment, the Demon Spirit also detected Daoist Violet Cloud''s intentions. It coldly snorted and a majestic black mist surged out, turning into a giant ghostly hand that grabbed at Xiao Feng!


    Li Shuo''s eyes exuded a monstrous hatred, but there was nothing he could do. Seeing that the two fatal attacks were about to land, a trace of ruthlessness flashed across his eyes!


    Shua! His body moved and actually flew towards the two fatal attacks. The aura around his body abruptly surged as a ferocious wave of energy rippled outwards!


    "Not good, he wants to self-destruct, he''s really a madman!" The Daoist Master Zi Yun and the Demon Spirit''s expressions changed. They cursed in their hearts and quickly retreated. The effect of a self-detonation from a single soldier was not something they could withstand!


    "You''ve gone too far!"


    However, at this moment, an ice-cold and desolate voice suddenly rang out. Like a wild beast waking up from its eternal slumber, the aura of desolation enveloped the Profound Yellow Valley. The self-detonating Li Shuo and the two attacks instantly stopped on the spot!


    Behind Li Shuo, the dying Xiao Feng suddenly opened his eyes. Chaotic light flashed in his eyes, and a desolate aura swept out. With just a look, it caused everyone to feel a chill that went straight to the top of their heads from the soles of their feet!


    Cold and merciless, bloodthirsty and boundless, like a demonic god that ruled over life and death, Xiao Feng slowly stood up and began to pull out the sword in his body bit by bit!


    At this critical moment, the dying Xiao Feng suddenly felt a tyrannical and unparalleled force enter his body. Immediately after, Long Ling''s voice exploded in his mind. His body was instantly controlled by Long Ling!


    Kacha. Daoist Zi Yun''s right hand exerted force and a crack appeared in his Spirit Weapon. Daoist Zi Yun also suffered a backlash from his Spirit Weapon. He spat out a mouthful of blood and looked at Xiao Feng in shock!


    Xiao Feng casually struck out with his palm and the twin dragons roared out. This palm seemed to transform into a divine dragon as its life-like scales appeared continuously. With a roar, it rushed into the sky!


    A divine dragon wrapped itself around Li Shuo and a mysterious energy surged into his body, completely calming down the violent Spiritual Energy that was about to explode out of control. Then, it slowly landed on the ground!


    As for the other divine dragon, it roared and rushed towards Purple Cloud Daoist and the Demon Spirit. The dragon roar shook the heavens, and the boundless ancient energy swept through everything. Under the shocked and fearful gazes of everyone, the Demon Spirit and Purple Cloud Daoist were sent flying!

 C41

    "Hiss, how terrifying. He can actually knock back two great spirit raising realm cultivators with a single palm. Just who is this fellow?"


    "It seems that after this battle, his name will definitely shake the four countries, and even the three dynasties will have his name!"


    Daoist Violet Cloud spat out a mouthful of blood. Her aura was sluggish and her face was flushed red. Only by personally experiencing it would one know how terrifying that palm strike was. It was definitely beyond the power of the Spirit Nurturing realm!


    "Kill!" Xiao Feng was unrelenting. He took a step forward and instantly appeared in front of the Demon Spirit as if he had stepped over the boundary of space and time. The roar of a dragon shook the heavens as the divine dragon roared out!


    The Demon Spirit''s expression changed drastically. The double hooks appeared in his hands once again. He released all of his power within the spirit raising realm. The double hooks turned into evil spirits as they screamed and rushed out!


    Peng peng peng. However, the divine dragon was originally the strongest divine beast in the world and was the nemesis of all the evil spirits. Under its might, the evil spirits collapsed and spat out blood before landing on the ground.


    Once the Dragon Seizing Art was used, Daoist Purple Cloud couldn''t help but unconsciously move his body toward Xiao Feng under the fearful gaze of his eyes. He was unable to resist no matter what and could only watch as Xiao Feng clutched his neck!


    His right hand gripped his neck, and Purple Cloud Daoist''s face gradually turned purple. His pupils became larger and larger, and the coldness of death enveloped him completely, causing him to shiver!


    However, Xiao Feng didn''t kill him. The dragon''s roar wreaked havoc as he viciously smashed him to the ground, forming a deep crater on the ground. Fresh blood spurted out from his mouth along with some internal flesh!


    "Let''s go!" The three of them looked at each other, each seeing the fear and unwillingness in the other''s eyes. The opponent was too strange, and it was not something they could understand. If this carried on, they might really end up here!


    Nodding to each other, they sent out a powerful attack. Relying on the power of their spiritual energy, they quickly escaped into the distance.


    Xiao Feng looked into the distance but didn''t give chase. Weariness flashed across his eyes as he scanned his surroundings!


    The bone-piercing chill caused everyone''s faces to freeze. They had all seen the battle just now, and a Spirit Nurturing Stage powerhouse wasn''t enough for him to fight. Even if all of them were to attack together, they would probably just be cannon fodder.


    Withdrawing his sharp gaze, Xiao Feng became even more exhausted. Xiao Feng helped Li Shuo up and quickly flew off into the distance. After an unknown amount of time, he finally could not hold on any longer and fell head first onto the ground!


    After Xiao Feng fell to the ground, a dense light enveloped him. Long Ling used the last of her strength to heal Xiao Feng, otherwise, Xiao Feng''s life would have been in danger!


    Three days later, when Xiao Feng opened his eyes again, the blinding light caused his eyes to feel a stinging pain. Soon after, Li Shuo''s figure appeared in his sight!


    "Brother Xiao, you''re awake!" Seeing that Xiao Feng had woken up, Li Shuo cried out in joy. His injuries were mostly superficial. After taking the Royal Jelly, his recovery rate had increased by a lot!


    Xiao Feng nodded and cupped his fists towards Li Shuo as he said, "Many thanks to Your Highness for risking his life to save me. Xiao Feng is extremely grateful!" However, he was stopped by Li Shuo!


    "Brother Xiao, we are friends at first sight. Since you won''t allow me to call you benefactor, then don''t call me Your Highness from now on. Otherwise, I will treat you as an outsider!" Li Shuo chuckled.


    The beehive had already lost its light, and it had lost its luster. The meridians in his body were originally not affected by the heavy burden, but with the addition of the tyrannical strength of Long Ling, they had already become broken and scattered!


    Fortunately, he could now absorb the spirit energy to recover. After sitting down, he immediately entered a state of cultivation. The thousand year Royal Jelly had brought him a pure and pure state of mind, allowing him to increase his cultivation speed by several folds!


    Xiao Feng circulated the Dragon Guiding Art and the Azure Dragon Qi that he had not absorbed circulated within his body. At the same time, a faint light flickered within the beehive and turned into a small jade peak that surrounded him. It was quickly absorbing the surrounding Spiritual Energy.


    Along with the appearance of the jade peak, more and more spirit energy was gathering towards him. The beehive in his dantian suddenly trembled as it madly absorbed the spirit energy like a whale sucking in water!


    More and more spiritual power formed a jade peak, attracting the spiritual power to gather and form an even larger circle. Above his head, a small spiritual energy whirlpool formed and wildly poured into his body. The beehive within Xiao Feng''s body gradually recovered its brilliance!


    Bang. Three days later, a sound suddenly exploded from Xiao Feng''s body. The beehive emitted light in all directions from his body, and the glass was divine. Following the sound, the beehive''s size suddenly expanded by a size!


    At the same time, his aura also increased rapidly. He absorbed more spiritual power into his body, and even Li Shuo was stunned. Even if he broke through Spirit Communication and entered the Sea Cleaving Realm, he would not be able to contain that much spiritual energy!


    However, Xiao Feng did not wake up after he advanced and was still in a meditative state like before. This was because the Spiritual Energy in his body had already reached an abundant state and had formed a saturated state. However, the Azure Dragon''s Qi was still surging!


    A day later, Xiao Feng suddenly opened his tightly shut eyes and shouted out loud. His body moved and he emitted a burst of crackling sounds like fried beans. A ferocious aura once again swept out and blew up a sandstorm within a ten meter radius!


    Even though Xiao Feng had suffered heavy injuries and nearly lost his life after a battle that had surpassed his limits, the progress he had made was not small!


    The Azure Dragon''s Qi was once again absorbed by him, and by now, half of it had already entered his body for his own use. Xiao Feng''s physical strength increased by another grade, and his originally white skin gradually changed to a bronze color!


    After absorbing half of the azure dragon''s aura, he had once again broken through to the middle stage of Sea Cleaving, and with the convergence of the dragon''s Qi and spirit energy, he had stabilized!


    Xiao Feng swung out his fist, causing an ear-piercing sound of an explosion to echo out as it formed a light ripple in the air. The corners of his mouth curled into a smile of satisfaction!


    "Congratulations to brother Xiao for rising to the next level. Brother Xiao is indeed a monstrous genius. I didn''t expect that in just half a month, you would be able to break through two levels. I''m afraid in this world, only a genius like you can do that!"


    Li Shuo cupped his fists and congratulated Xiao Feng. His eyes were filled with admiration and shock. Someone who could challenge two great Spirit Cultivating Stage experts at the late stage of the Spirit Opening Stage was indeed extraordinary!


    Xiao Feng smiled slightly as his gaze swept around Li Shuo''s body. He also nodded in surprise. Li Shuo was indeed the number one genius of the Southern Song Dynasty!


    "Same to you! Congratulations Brother Li for successfully condensing a Spirit Weapon. From today onwards, you will step into the ranks of the true Weapon Condensation experts!"


    Li Shuo glanced at Xiao Feng in shock. He actually knew that he had formed a Spirit Weapon just by relying on his aura. He couldn''t help but have a better impression of Xiao Feng!


    During this half month, he took advantage of the time he had taken to recuperate from the injuries of this war and, at the same time, summed up the experience he had gained from this battle and successfully formed his own Spirit Weapon!

 C42

    Buzz! With a flash of golden light, a shiny golden long rod appeared in Li Shuo''s hand. Complicated inscription patterns appeared on it, faintly rippling with the aura of a great Dao!


    "A staff is the ancestor of thousands of soldiers. It has no edge, no desire to kill, and does not kill. At the same time, it can also protect one''s own life. This is a good choice!"


    Holding the golden rod in his hand, Li Shuo caressed it like a child as he said to Xiao Feng. Xiao Feng nodded in agreement. Such a kind-hearted person must be an enlightened ruler!


    "Since Brother Li is so kind and benevolent, I have two sets of staff techniques. One of them is suitable for Brother Li. I wonder if Brother Li would mind having me fight?"


    Looking at the golden stick in Li Shuo''s hand, Xiao Feng suddenly thought of saying to Li Shuo!


    "What are you saying, Brother Xiao''s martial arts are amazing and his talent is extraordinary. Being able to receive Brother Xiao''s guidance is a great honor!" Li Shuo was overjoyed. He had seen Xiao Feng''s strength before, the thing in his hand must be extraordinary!


    Xiao Feng modestly waved his hand, and his eyes suddenly became sharp. With a wave of his right hand, the golden rod in Li Shuo''s hand flew out and landed in his hand!


    With a ''hu hu hu hu'' sound, the golden rod in his hand danced along with Xiao Feng as he swung it around. Every move was filled with formidable might and possessed an astonishing momentum.


    "One of Shaolin''s supreme techniques, the Seventy-second Demon Subduing Rod Art, is to use a compassionate heart to exterminate all living things, to suppress demons and exterminate evil, and to punish evil!"


    Gradually, his gaze turned ethereal, calm, as if he was the only person left in the world. The movement of the rod in Xiao Feng''s hand seemed to have slowed down several times, and began to evolve on its own in his mind!


    This was the benefit of consuming the Royal Jelly. Although it was not comparable to the Royal Jelly, it was more than enough for Li Shuo!


    Xiao Feng had finished with his pole technique, but Li Shuo was still standing on the spot. In his eyes, there was a faint shadow that was still evolving like a knife carved into his mind!


    Suddenly, a golden light shot out from Li Shuo''s eyes as the golden stick in Xiao Feng''s hand shot out. The Fiendgod Fighting Dagger appeared to be more powerful in his hands than in Xiao Feng''s, because the path that Li Shuo walked on was the same as the path of the Buddha family!


    Xiao Feng nodded his head in joy. The Demon Fighting Rod was made specifically for Li Shuo. In his hands, its power would increase by another level. Xiao Feng believed that he would definitely be able to increase its power!


    In fact, in his mind, he had thought about what level the martial arts he had brought from the Central Plains could be used on the Xuan Wu Continent with his spiritual power!


    However, he was certain that regardless of whether it was the Great Ancestor''s punches, the dog beating skill, or even the Demon Subduing Staff and the Non-Phase Calamity Finger, none of them would be weaker than a Profound Rank battle skill. This was because even though the Thunder Palm was once a Profound Rank battle skill, its power was still much weaker than his own martial arts!


    While he was thinking, Li Shuo had already completed the complete set of the Demon Fighting Rod Technique and even increased his understanding of it. He stared at Xiao Feng with a fiery gaze!


    "Brother Xiao, I have no way to repay you for your kindness. But if you find anything useful in the future, I will not refuse it no matter what!" Clutching the golden stave tightly, Li Shuo cupped his fists and said gratefully to Xiao Feng.


    "Brother Li is too polite, what''s the point of worrying!" Xiao Feng returned the greeting and smiled humbly before suddenly recalling something.


    "Brother Li, what''s happening in the outside world?" "We''ve already used half a month to recuperate from our injuries and break through. Now, the closing date for the Earth Realm has arrived. Three days ago, someone had already left the Earth Realm!" Li Shuo said.


    Xiao Feng nodded. It seemed like Long Ling was right, the so-called Sword Tomb was actually a mysterious space. The Five Elements Holy Land would open at a different time and place every time, and would have a different understanding of it from different places!


    Thinking of the Dragon Spirit, Xiao Feng suddenly thought of the previous battle. When he was in a daze, he saw the Dragon Spirit unleashing its divine powers. In the hands of the Dragon Spirit, tightly wielding the Twin Dragon Seas was enough to beat two Spirit Cultivating Stage experts to the point that they vomited blood and fled.


    He had never expected that his famous consummate technique would actually have such a powerful might and potential. In his heart, he yearned for the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms even more!


    However, when he communicated with the dragon spirit many times, the reply he got was only silence. Because the dragon spirit had saved him, it used up all the energy it had recovered over the years and fell into a deep slumber!


    A trace of warmth and guilt flowed through Xiao Feng''s heart. Even though Long Ling rarely spoke to him, she always focused on helping him. This time, she even paid an enormous price to save him!


    When he thought of the Dragon Spirit, Xiao Feng remembered that the person who caused this was still inside his body, the Earth Spirit Shield and the snake. He hurriedly checked his body and then let out a sigh of relief.


    At this time, Xiao Yan transformed into a mini snake that was shuttling back and forth through Xiao Feng''s meridians. The Earth Spirit Shield on the surface of his body appeared like a shadow, and he looked extremely excited!


    "Master!" Suddenly, when Xiao Feng looked inside, the serpent suddenly opened its mouth and cried out, scaring Xiao Feng.


    "There is no need for Master to be suspicious. The Earth Spirit Shield has a spirit object, so it will automatically recognize me as its master. As a Shield Spirit, I am also one with the Earth Spirit Shield, so you are now my master!" The snake opened its mouth to explain.


    "Then why did you choose me as your master? There were so many experts present that day, and all of you chose one to protect yourself. I am just a weakling!" Xiao Feng asked curiously.


    As the serpent stopped moving its body, the earth spirit shield on its body gradually became more solid as the deep patterns on its surface began to slowly light up!


    "Because you have the power that both the Earth Spirit Shield and I need, Dragon Qi!" The snake bluntly said.


    "Earth Spirit Shield is famous for its defensive properties, so naturally, it requires one of the best defensive powers. As a shield spirit snake, my future path is to evolve towards a dragon. With the nourishment of your dragon qi, my chances of success increase more than tenfold!"


    Xiao Feng nodded. So that was the case. No wonder they chose him under the watchful eyes of everyone, it was because of his Azure Dragon''s Qi.


    "Also, the spirit body in your body is an exceptionally powerful existence. It should not belong to this plane!" The dragon spirit''s godly prowess last time had deeply shocked his heart!


    Very quickly, the two of them left the cave. Because Xiao Feng had lost his direction after leaving the Sword Tomb, he was unable to return. He could only follow Li Shuo and go out with him!

 C43

    "Brother Xiao is talented, you are truly worthy of being called a peerless genius. In this world, the only person who can be compared with brother Xiao is probably only the Eastern Liao Kingdom''s crown prince!"


    As he was walking with Xiao Feng, Li Shuo suddenly spoke to him, causing Xiao Feng''s body to tremble. Soon after, he returned to normal!


    "Brother Li, you must be joking. That person is the legendary Heavenly Dragon''s life. He was chosen by the heavens. I am an ordinary person, so how could I dare to compete with him for the title of genius?" Xiao Feng said lightly.


    Li Shuo looked at Xiao Feng. Xiao Feng seemed to have something on his mind, "However, it seems that the origin of the so called Heavenly Dragon''s Mandate is unknown!"


    Xiao Feng smiled but did not say anything. Li Shuo also did not say anything. As the two of them continued forward, the number of people they could see were few and far between!


    "Today is the last day of the Earth Realm''s closure. Both of us should be the last two left!" Li Shuo said with a light smile.


    "Crap! Something has happened! Brother Li, let''s leave quickly!" Xiao Feng''s expression suddenly changed as he pulled the stunned Li Shuo away!


    "Brother Xiao, what happened?" Li Shuo couldn''t react in time.


    "You''ve already opened the passage to leave the Earth Realm three days ago. Li Ran and Xia Qing probably left the Earth Realm three days ago, and in their eyes, you''re already a dead man. I''m afraid they might harm you in the Southern Song Dynasty!"


    Li Shuo''s body trembled as a trace of warmth flowed through his heart. He didn''t expect that at this time, Xiao Feng would take into account these matters for him. He was afraid that he would never be able to find such a chivalrous person in his current life!


    Thank you, Brother Xiao. But I, Li Shuo, view fame and fortune as dirt, and the power of the Emperor''s throne is nothing to me. Even if Li Ran were to take it away from me, it would be fated for me.


    Xiao Feng nodded, but immediately shook his head, "Brother Li, even if your ambition isn''t to gain the title of Emperor, just a mediocre person like Li Ran will bring disaster to the people of the Southern Song Dynasty. In fact, Western Xia is like a tiger watching its prey.


    If Li Ran could exchange three cities for his life and the throne, what could he not do in the future? In fact, if he was played by Xi Xia, the consequences would be unimaginable!


    Li Shuo and Xiao Feng nodded with a serious expression and quickly ran towards the passageway. Three days had passed, but they didn''t know what had happened outside!


    Li Ran knelt on the throne room below in the Southern Song, in the capital, and told the story of his elder brother, Li Shuo, who had saved him and fallen into a Baleful Yin Bathole.


    Li Jun sat upright on the Dragon Throne. When she heard that Li Shuo had died a horrible death, her face immediately changed. A wave of anger that assailed the heart fell from the Dragon Throne. She pointed at Li Ran and was unable to say a word!


    The entire hall fell into a state of panic. A few eunuchs hurriedly helped Li Jun up and shouted, "Quickly inform the imperial physician!"


    "Pu!" Li Jun spat out a mouthful of blood. Her body trembled as she sat on the chair and pointed at Li Ran as she stuttered out those words!


    "Li ¡­" Li Ran, is what you said true? "


    "It''s true! Your child will swear on my life that I will never lie to my royal father. Your big brother has been dismembered by countless Baleful Yin Bats. I will never rest in peace!" Li Ran quickly kowtowed and added oil to the fire as the corner of his mouth curled up into a sneer!


    "Li Shuo, if you want to blame something, you can only blame your bad fate. Don''t worry, I''ll properly make this Emperor for you!"


    Hearing the news of his precious son''s death, Li Ran immediately thought of Li Shuo''s miserable state. His body trembled and another mouthful of blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth!


    "Mu Er, Mu Er, my poor son ¡­" The son he was so proud of, had actually disappeared just like that!


    When the eunuch saw that something was wrong, he immediately announced his departure and carried Li Yu to the side hall to rest. As the crowd dispersed, the viciousness in Li Ran''s eyes deepened!


    "Hmph, old thing, you''re crying like this just because you died. If I died, I probably wouldn''t even shed a single tear!" After a fiery glance at the Dragon Throne, he turned around and left!


    When Li Yu returned to the side chamber, he couldn''t help but cry bitterly. His two sons, Li Ran, were playboys who did nothing good all day and only knew how to have fun, while his cultivation was a mess.


    As for Li Shuo, he had read a lot of poetry since he was young. He was intelligent and reasonable, had a kind and compassionate personality, and his talent in cultivation could also be considered a genius. He was the most standard candidate to be the Emperor in everyone''s eyes!


    Suddenly, Li Jun abruptly opened her eyes and wiped away her tears. She immediately ordered the serving eunuch, "Investigate for me. I want to know what happened in the Earth Realm!"


    The eunuch was shocked by Li Jun''s words. The death of the crown prince had caused the emperor''s emotions to fluctuate.


    "Huang ¡­" "Your majesty, none of the people who followed the crown prince and the second prince out have returned. It''s said that they all died in the world of earth!" The eunuch spoke while trembling in fear, afraid that Li Yan would kill him out of anger!


    However, what surprised him was that Li Yu nodded without batting an eyelid, waved his hand to get him to leave, and immediately slipped away as if he was granted amnesty! However, what he did not see was the light flashing in Li Jun''s eyes!


    With Li Shuo''s skills, it wouldn''t be difficult for him to escape even if he fell into the Baleful Yin Batcave. Not a single person came back, which made Li Shuo smell something unusual.


    Moreover, he knew very well that the two of them had always been at odds. Although Li Shuo had always been giving in to Li Ran, Li Ran didn''t think this way.


    "Since you want to play, I want to see what kind of game you can come up with!" Li Jun''s eyes flashed with a sharp light, she immediately shouted at the eunuch!


    Just as the eunuch left, he let out a breath of relief. His heart was once again lifted by Li Yu''s voice, and he hurriedly ran in!


    "Pass down the decree that Crown Prince Li Shuo died a tragic death and that the entire country will mourn for three days. In addition, the country must not lose a single day to the king. Tomorrow, the ceremony will be held and Zheng will bestow upon the Second Prince Li Ran the title of Crown Prince!"


    The imperial edict was like a violent storm that spread throughout the entire imperial palace. Everyone was shocked by Li Mu''s actions. Li Shuang had just died and he was about to reestablish the throne. There seemed to be something fishy about it!


    Of course, the imperial edict could not be hidden from Li Ran. As the main character, he naturally felt that it was strange, he did not expect Li You''s actions to be so quick, and this made him not prepared to accept the title!


    "What is it? Scared? " In the darkness, a faint voice sounded like a cold cellar, giving people goosebumps!


    Li Ran glanced at the darkness before snorting, "Afraid? Would I be afraid? What a joke, could it be that he, Li Shuo, has come from hell to disrupt my conferred ceremony? "


    "That''s right, if it really was the conferred ceremony, then it would have been alright. If there were any other intentions, then we could have just killed that old man. At that time, it wouldn''t be the conferred ceremony, but your inauguration ceremony!"

 C44

    Li Shuo was startled by the black-clothed man''s words, but after thinking for a moment, he nodded his head. Anyway, that old man has been the throne for so long.


    On the second day, the Southern Song Dynasty''s sky was dark. Dark clouds covered the sky, and even at noon, the light was dim. The conferred ceremony in the Imperial Palace was just like the sky. It was extremely depressing!


    The civil and military ministers, from the Prime Minister to the Empress, from the palace maids and eunuchs, all lined up neatly at the edge of the throne room, leaving a path open in the middle. Li Ran, wearing a golden robe, walked in with a face full of smiles!


    Li Jun stepped onto the Dragon Throne under the eunuch''s care and knelt before the imperial court. Including Li Ran, she shouted loudly, "Long live and long live, but in his eyes, there was another meaning."


    "My beloved ones, my son went to the Earth Realm to explore and gain some experience, but to think that he would meet with misfortune and die in the Yellow Springs, Zheng was extremely saddened. However, the kingdom cannot lose a ruler for a day, my son is gone, Zheng Ran''er is also gone. I believe in my son''s spirit in heaven, and I hope that Li Ran can take over his position and benefit the people in the future!"


    Li Jun said majestically as she wore a golden dragon robe and imperial crown. Her entire body was surrounded by a righteous aura and the might of a dragon.


    "As per His Majesty''s decree!" The civil and military minister said.


    "Alright, Li Ran, step forward and listen to my orders!" Li Ran hurriedly knelt down and waited for the seal!


    "Li Ran, before bestowing the title upon you, Zheng has two things he wishes to ask you. You must answer honestly, don''t hide anything from him!" Li Jun''s voice caused Li Ran, who was kneeling, to be startled. A trace of unease faintly appeared in his heart!


    "Yes, this child will definitely answer truthfully. I won''t dare to lie to royal father at all!" said.


    Li Yu nodded his head, his gaze sweeping across everyone present, and then said, "First, as the crown prince, can you be diligent in your studies, be angry, and after succession, can you be a loving son of the people, and seek blessings for the common people?"


    "Father, the imperial court is filled with civil and military officials as evidence. In the future, I, Li Ran, will definitely follow father''s orders. I will love my people like my children and rule the country as a people. I will become an enlightened monarch!"


    "That''s good. Secondly, is your brother Li Shuo''s death really due to the loss of his life in the Baleful Yin Batcave? It has nothing to do with anyone else."


    Tch, the moment Li Jun said that, the entire atmosphere in the throne room suddenly froze. The air seemed to freeze, falling into a deathly silence!


    Li Ran''s expression changed as the unease in his heart grew. However, he quickly calmed down and respectfully replied.


    "Imperial Father understood that your son accidentally broke into the Baleful Yin Batcave at the foot of the Earth Realm''s Duanren Cliff. In order to save your son, Big Brother buried himself inside. If you want to talk about people, then it has to do with your son!"


    Li Ran''s words echoed in the silent throne room as various expressions fluctuated in the eyes of many ministers. They were angered to the point that they caught a whiff of some hidden meaning within the crowning ceremony.


    Li Jun stared at Li Ran like an eagle. She let her voice reverberate in the air and a pressure began to faintly emanate from the atmosphere!


    Li Ran lowered his head, Li Yu''s gaze made him not dare to look straight, he felt like he was being stared at by a wild beast, his entire body was covered in cold sweat, he felt like he was being seen through!


    After a long time, Li Jun''s voice broke the heavy atmosphere, and some of the ministers quietly wiped off the cold sweat on their foreheads.


    "But last night, Zheng received a secret report saying that someone had framed the Crown Prince''s death. I wonder who was so bold as to do such a thing to me, Crown Prince Nan Song!"


    Ssssssss * The sound of cold air being sucked filled the air. The ministers present all had expressions of disbelief on their faces as they looked up at Li Jun. Li Shuo was framed and killed by someone?


    Bang. Li Ran''s mind also exploded and became extremely blank. His face was pale as he lowered his head, not daring to raise it. Even his body was trembling!


    "Royal father, please understand. Big Brother really did die in the Baleful Yin Batcave. This child saw it with his own eyes. How could I dare to lie to you? I beg that you do not listen to slander!"


    Soon, he came up with an excuse and said, "The crown prince is my big brother. If there really is someone framing him, I will definitely tear the murderer into pieces and avenge my brother!"


    Li Ran''s words caused the ministers to nod their heads. Although they knew that the crown prince and his brother had always been at odds with each other, now that Li Shuo was dead, if there really were people framing him, Li Ran would be the first to take revenge!


    "Alright, with these words of yours, I can set my mind at ease. If in the future I find out that Long''er''s death is related to someone, no matter who it is, no matter who it is, no matter if they''re royalty or close friends, I''ll make them pay with their blood!"


    Li Yu''s words caused people to feel a strong killing intent, causing the faces of the civil and military officials to change, their legs trembled, especially after biting the word ''brother'', causing Li Ran to go limp from fright!


    Although Li Yu is close to 70 years old, but what''s undeniable is that his cultivation has already reached the late stage of the Spirit Nurturing Stage fifteen years ago. Although he has not improved, he is one of the top powerhouses in the entire Southern Song Province!


    "Pu * * y, you want to become an emperor just like that!?" Just as Li Jun was about to speak again, a taunting voice suddenly came from outside the throne room, causing everyone''s expression to turn serious!


    Protect the emperor, protect the emperor, the eunuchs hurriedly shouted loudly, but other than the restless officials, not a single guard appeared outside the throne room!


    Li Ran''s body trembled as he heard the taunting voice. His eyes were filled with terror as a shadow slowly appeared beside him due to a fluctuation beside him!


    Shua, Li Jun suddenly stood up from the dragon throne, staring coldly at the black clothed person that suddenly appeared, a powerful aura faintly spreading out!


    "Who are you? You dare trespass into the Hall of Golden Chimes, quickly kneel down and admit your mistake! The Prime Minister shouted and stepped forward to protect Li.


    "Hmph, Li Ran, this is your last chance. If Jinx doesn''t treasure it, then it''s up to you!" The black-clothed man lightly glanced at the Prime Minister as he spoke to Li Ran.


    Shua, Li Jun''s eyes suddenly focused as an endless cold light shot out explosively. The sharp blade light was like a knife as it landed on Li Ran''s body. The words of the black clothed man seemed to indicate something!


    Li Ran''s body stiffened. Li Yu''s gaze made him afraid to raise his head, but very quickly, a vicious look flashed across his eyes. He suddenly stood up and stared right into Li Yu''s eyes!


    "Li Ran, aren''t you going to explain?" Li You Long''s gown moved, the majesty of heaven permeating the air, he said indifferently to Li Ran.


    "Explain, what''s there to explain? Don''t you know everything clearly in your heart?" Li Ran sneered. As he stood side by side with the black-clothed man, his expression gradually became tranquil!


    "That''s right, I was the one who killed Li Shuo. I led him into the Baleful Yin Batcave and ambushed him. Pity that foolish big brother of mine still rushed in to save me even after he died!"

 C45

    Bang! As soon as Li Ran spoke, the entire throne room instantly went into an uproar. Everyone looked at Li Ran in shock, as all sorts of rage, contempt, and loathing gazes surrounded him. Even if Li Ran had done this hundreds of times, he would still have died!


    Pfft. Although he was prepared in his heart, Li Jun still spat out a mouthful of blood after hearing this news. Her body trembled as she pointed at Li Ran, her face extremely pale!


    "Bastard, you heartless bastard. Your Majesty, please forgive this old official for offending you. Let me kill this dog thief first!"


    Although he was a military man, he had great respect for Li Shuo. Li Shuo''s character was well-known throughout the imperial court. With a loud shout, he slammed his palm towards Li Shuo!


    "How dare you!" However, before the palm of Wu Chenyuan''s hand could land, the man in black clothing suddenly shouted coldly. The ice-cold aura made it difficult for his palm to even touch the black clothed man''s palm. He stared at the man in shock!


    "Spirit Nurturing Stage!" The surprised voice echoed within the throne room, but what responded was the black clothed man''s boundless killing intent. His insignificant strength at the middle stage of the Weapon Condensation Realm was not a match for someone at the Spirit Nurturing Stage!


    Bang! Under everyone''s terrified gazes, the Apothecary Guild exploded like a balloon and turned into a bloody mist that pervaded the throne room!


    "Bastard, you''re courting death!" Li Jun suppressed the rolling anger in her body and shouted loudly. A golden rainbow suddenly shot out, creating a storm that rushed towards the black clothed man!


    "Hmph. With your injured body, how can you fight against me?!" The black-clothed man sneered. He casually released a black light that collided with Li Xiao. A violent energy forced everyone to their feet!


    "Western Xia Golden, Silver, and Fourth Killings. Li Ran, you actually colluded with another country to murder your own brother. What crime do you think you should be punished for?" Li Jun''s eyes narrowed. She quickly recognized the other party''s identity!


    "What, Western Xia Golden, Silver and Fourth Killings?" "How is this possible!?" The faces of all the ministers changed as they looked in disbelief at the man in black. They had all heard of the Western Xia Golden Silver Four Murder, and it was definitely one of the top three assassins in the entire Western Xia.


    "Hmph. What crime should I be punished for? As long as I become the emperor, what crime should I be punished for?" Li Ran laughed as he looked at Li Yu complacently.


    "Plotting to usurp power, this crime is punishable by death!" A few other ministers were angered and shouted in a low voice, but when they saw the cold gaze of the man in black, they immediately suppressed it. Their faces flushed red!


    "Don''t say that I don''t care about the relationship between father and son. I''ll give you a chance. Immediately abdicate and pass the throne to me. I can consider sparing your life, or else don''t blame me for being ruthless!"


    Under the support of the man in black, Li Ran''s back immediately became stiff as he stared at Li Yu and said.


    "Li Yu, you are a smart person, you should know what to do. Otherwise, when our Western Xia soldiers arrive at the city gates, it will be too late for you to regret it! " The man in black said lightly, but his threat was obvious!


    "Humph, I am a big country in the Southern Song Dynasty, how could I possibly be afraid of a mere barbarian? Xia Jie doesn''t even have the qualifications to talk about war, yet you, a mere assassin, dare to spout such arrogant words! "


    "Zheng is now issuing a decree abolishing the status of Li Ran''s Imperial Family and expelling him from the country. Whoever can kill this thief will have to pay homage to the next rank!" His voice spread throughout the throne room and even shook the entire palace, causing Li Ran''s expression to instantly darken!


    "How is it? What do you choose now? " The black-clothed man said to Li Ran with a cold smile.


    Li Ran''s face was so dark that water was about to come out. He glared at Li Yu and spat out one word viciously!


    Kill!


    Just as he finished speaking, the black clothed man immediately laughed out loud. With a wave of his hand, the space around Li Jun fluctuated, and four black figures appeared, surrounding Li Jun and rushing towards her!


    "Four killers!" The expression on the court official''s face changed. As the four of them stepped onto the stage, the strength of a middle stage condensing soldier immediately exploded forth. A cold light flashed across his hand as he rushed towards Li Yu!


    "A mere ant dares to be so impudent!" Li Ao Long was enraged, he angrily slapped his Dragon Throne, a ripple of energy rippled outwards, directly smashing into the four people''s bodies!


    With the strength of a Late Spirit Cultivating Stage, it was not something that a few Mid Condensation Cultivators could contend with. As soon as it appeared, it was knocked back repeatedly by the shockwave!


    "Li Yu, your opponent is me!" The man in black shouted loudly as his half-step Spirit Nurturing Stage strength shot out. A silver blade appeared in his hand as he slashed through the air!


    "So it''s Silver Blizzard! Even Jin Sha didn''t dare to act impudent in front of me. How dare you overestimate yourself!" Li Jun coldly snorted, recognizing the other party''s identity, her body suddenly disappeared from where she stood!


    "As for the rest of you, you have ten seconds to submit to me. If you do not submit to me, I will kill you!" Li Ran looked at Li Yu and Silver Killer fighting, and immediately threatened all the ministers.


    "Li Ran, you deceitful bastard who deceived his teacher and exterminated his ancestors. Even if I were to die, I won''t surrender to you ¡­" However, before he could finish speaking, a cold light suddenly shot out from his throat. Blood splattered everywhere as he fell to the ground!


    "You still have five seconds!" Behind him, the four assassins were wearing black cloaks. They held sharp blades in their hands as they stood behind him, ready to kill at any moment!


    I admit that I can''t beat you, but with your injured body, although I can''t win against you, defeating me won''t be an easy task. I''m afraid that when the time comes, all of your ministers will be dead, and you, the emperor, will be left with only the commander in chief!


    In the battle, Silver Blizzard laughed. Li Yu was strong, and he was not his match, but Li Yu''s internal injury was not light. As long as he could delay him, he would win!


    "Bastard!" The longer he was dragged on, the worse the situation would be. However, it was not so easy to deal with the half-step Spirit Nurturing Stage in the Silver Blizzard City, especially since the enemy could only dodge it!


    "How is it? Have you made up your mind?" Li Ran smiled coldly as his gaze was fixated on some of the ministers with fluctuating expressions. The killing intent from the assassins in the four directions was also slowly emitted.


    "Rest assured, as long as you are willing to submit, after I ascend to the throne, you will remain in your official positions and will remain unchanged!"


    When Li Ran said this, some of the people who were hesitating glanced at each other before they nodded and stood behind Li Ran. Those who were still unwilling to submit also glared at him!


    "Bastard! A coward who fears death!" One person could not help but curse loudly. Normally, he was in a high position, but in times of danger, he turned the tables. How could anyone not be cold-hearted!


    Just as his voice faded away, the sharp dagger pierced through his chest, leaving behind a bloody hole and an unwilling expression on his face. Then, he fell to the ground with a loud thud!


    Another official had died, and those who refused to surrender were thoroughly enraged. As the saying went, a dog would jump over a wall if it got anxious, not to mention those who loved their country. They were all on the verge of taking action!


    "Li Ran, how many more people do you want to kill? "These people are all the founders of our Southern Song Empire, aren''t you afraid of being punished by the heavens?"

 C46

    Li Ran sneered, "To be punished by the heavens? "What a joke, after I ascend the throne, I will be the Heavens, and I will be the King. Who would dare to cause me to suffer the wrath of the Heavens!"


    "I''m giving you one last chance. Do you want to surrender or not?" As he spoke, Li Ran suddenly turned his head and a terrifying killing intent surrounded everyone. His cold gaze told everyone that he would really kill them all!


    "I''d rather die than submit!" What responded to him was a neat and indignant shout. At the same time, it made the faces of those who surrendered behind Li Ran turn ugly. They did not dare to raise their heads!


    "Good, good, you have guts. Since that''s the case, then go and die!" Li Ran was so angry that he laughed instead. He never thought that these old bones would actually be so tough. They really aren''t afraid of death!


    Li Yu''s face changed dramatically. These ministers were the founders of the Southern Song Empire, rather than calling them monarchs and ministers, they might as well say that they were comrade-in-arms. Those who did not surrender were all brothers who had followed him to their deaths, establishing the Southern Song by themselves!


    "Li Ran, you dare!" Li Shuo was furious to the extreme. His heart was burning with anxiety. He roared furiously and pushed back Silver Kill with his palm. He was about to rush over, but Silver Kill stuck him back!


    "Do I dare? I dare, kill them all, and don''t leave a single one alive! " With a twisted expression, Li Ran was completely blinded by his thoughts.


    Some of the ministers were civil servants, and most of their strength was at the Sea Opening Realm. Some of the generals were only at the early stage of Weapon Condensation. Even if they could fend them off for a while, they wouldn''t be able to fend them off for long!


    Puchi. A bloody hole appeared on the neck of one of the officials. He fell to the ground with unwillingness and hatred in his eyes. This scene completely made Li Jun''s eyes red!


    "Hahahaha, do you really think I don''t dare to kill you? All of them are cheap bones! " Li Ran laughed as he looked on with a distorted expression. He seemed especially sinister and terrifying as blood spurted onto his face!


    "I''ll kill you!" Right at this moment, General Nan Gong Cheng suddenly rushed towards Li Ran. Spirit essence gathered in his hands; even if he were to die, he would die together with Li Ran!


    Li Ran sneered. A black-clothed man suddenly appeared. He grabbed Li Ran''s neck and slowly lifted him up. In Li Ran''s hand, a dagger shining with cold light was being played with by him!


    "You can''t!" Li Jun''s face changed dramatically. In her panic, her internal injury had flared up and Silver Blizzard seized the opportunity to strike her chest. Her chest immediately caved in and she spat out a mouthful of blood!


    "You want to kill me? I''ll let you see who killed who? " Playing with the dagger in his hand, Li Ran''s eyes revealed a vicious and vicious look as he slashed his blade on NanGong Cheng''s wrist, causing blood to spurt out.


    NanGong Cheng cried out in pain, the tendons in his hands were cut off, and his hands lost all ability to move. Because of the pain, his face became extremely twisted!


    "I won''t let you die so easily!" Li Ran smiled cruelly. Suddenly, two more streams of blood splattered. Nangong Cheng''s legs were hanging down by themselves. He was also being tortured to the point of death!


    Puchi! Next was a bloody hole in the Dantian of South Palace City. Li Ran had completely crippled his cultivation!


    "Li Ran, evil creature!" Li Jun''s eyes were bloodshot as she roared at Li Ran. The blood in her mouth flowed out once again from the internal injuries. Silver Killer''s attack was even more ruthless and difficult to deal with!


    "Hahaha, evil creature, Li Yu, this is all your doing. If you had given up your position to me earlier, they wouldn''t have died ¡­ "Hahahaha!"


    Li Ran twisted his face and amidst the bone-chilling laughter, a cold light suddenly exploded from his hand as he swept it towards the neck of South Palace City. He had an inhumane and hideous face!


    At the same time, because of the unfavorable situation, many of the ministers fell onto the ground in front of them in complete chaos. The silver dagger slashed across their already injured bodies and tore open a gaping wound!


    "Li Ran, you bastard, stop right now!"


    Right at this moment, just as Li Ran''s dagger was about to pierce through Nan Gong Cheng''s neck, an angry roar rang out, causing Li Ran''s eyes to freeze!


    Whoosh! A golden dragon-shaped force shot out and hit the dagger, causing his hand to go numb for a moment. By the time he had reacted, two figures had already rushed over!


    Xiao Feng''s expression was ice-cold as he swung out his Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms. The azure dragon''s aura surged as he charged towards Li Ran!


    At the same time, Li Shuo''s speed reached the extreme. He turned into a blur and directly passed Li Ran. He waved his golden rod and blocked Silver Killer''s attack at the most crucial moment.


    "Mu Er, Mu Er, you didn''t die. You didn''t die ¡­" "It seems like this person is my precious dead son," Li Jun said with tears streaming down her face as she trembled and pulled Li Shuo''s hand.


    "Imperial Father, your son isn''t dead. The heavens never stopped letting your son die. Your son met a benefactor, and it was he who saved your son so your son can return to see your father!"


    At the same time, Xiao Feng''s eighteen strikes caught the other party off guard. Not only did he save South Palace City, but he also directly forced Li Ran and the others to retreat, ensuring the safety of the ministers!


    Xiao Feng frowned as he looked at the Southern Palace City in his hands. He hadn''t had this kind of killing intent in a long time. For a person like Li Ran, who was completely devoid of conscience and humanity wasn''t even enough to describe him!


    His two hands pointed out again and again, sealing all the major acupoints in South Palace City to prevent him from losing too much blood and dying. Then, he took out a third of a drop of Royal Jelly and fed it to him!


    It was not because he was stingy, but it was because the royal jelly was a heavenly treasure that could only be found and not sought. Although he had fused with the Jade Bee Nest, it was too difficult to produce the royal jelly. Even if he managed to get the entire Jade Bee Nest, it would only produce five drops of royal jelly!


    Using one drop less, he had given one drop to Li Shuo, leaving him with only four drops. Now, if he used them again, they would probably be gone by now!


    After guaranteeing South Palace City''s life, Xiao Feng respectfully saluted Li Jun. Even though he was originally born in the Northern Song, he had given him far too many complex feelings about his hometown!


    "There is no need for Young Hero to be so courteous. Quickly, please rise. Thank you for saving my life!" Li Yu hurriedly helped Xiao Feng up and spoke. However, as he spoke, another mouthful of blood flowed out!


    Although he was at the late stage of the Spirit Nurturing Stage, he was helpless as the blow from Li Shuo''s death was not small, causing him internal injuries. Li Ran''s rebellion caused him to be heartbroken, and his internal injuries increased, adding on to that, he was almost 70 years old, and his cultivation did not progress at all for more than 10 years.


    Xiao Feng hurriedly supported Li Yu as a third of the Royal Jelly appeared. He wrapped his Spiritual Energy around it and sent it into Li Jun''s mouth. The moment it entered his mouth, it melted and turned into surging Spiritual Energy that entered his body!


    After the royal jelly entered Li Yu''s body, the aged cells in his body seemed to have been reborn as they crazily absorbed this great tonic. Li Yu felt as if his entire body was bathed in the spring breeze, becoming extremely comfortable. The pain all over his body was recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye!

 C47

    In just a few breaths'' time, Li Yu had already recovered up to half of his original strength. He hurriedly cupped his hands in greeting towards Xiao Feng. He could feel how precious the treasure that Xiao Feng had given him was!


    "Young Hero, this great kindness is like rebirth. Please accept a bow from Li!" Xiao Feng immediately supported Li Yu and said humbly.


    "Your majesty, there''s no need to be so courteous. Let''s settle the matter at hand first!" Xiao Feng''s words caused Li Jun''s eyes to narrow as she nodded before looking towards Li Ran and Yin Sha!


    "You ¡­ Aren''t you dead? You... How is that possible? "


    Seeing that Li Shuo had returned safely, Li Ran''s expression changed drastically. He pointed at Li Shuo in disbelief as he stammered. Li Shuo''s return had caused him to feel an enormous sense of danger!


    "Hmph, of course I didn''t die. Do you think you can kill me with just those few people in the Baleful Yin Batcave?" "You''re wrong!" Li Shuo''s expression was terrifyingly gloomy. No matter how sincere and benevolent he was, when facing an animal that deceived his teacher and exterminated his ancestors, even his own father could do nothing but harm him, the rage in his heart had reached its peak!


    "Your plans are not bad. If it weren''t for benefactor, I''m afraid I would really have been killed by you. However, my life shouldn''t have ended like this. I''ve met benefactor!"


    Silver Killer''s face became serious. He could feel that Li Yu''s injuries had mostly healed. If this went on, they would probably die here!


    "Kid, who are you? When did it become your turn to interfere in the matters between the Golden, Silver, Fourth and Southern Song dynasties of the Western Xia? If you are wise, scram, or else I will kill you too! "


    Silver Kill''s sinister gaze landed on Xiao Feng''s body. Li Yu''s recovery was all because of what this youth of unknown origin fed him. Even if Li Shuo didn''t die, it was all because of him!


    "I''m Xiao Feng, not a person. I''m just someone who sees injustice on the road and draws his saber to help others. What I despise the most in my life is someone who only knows tricks and tricks, and is even someone who would sell the country for glory to kill and murder my father!"


    Xiao Feng took a step forward and said in a clear voice. His gaze that was as sharp as a knife swept across Li Ran, causing his expression to turn serious.


    Suddenly, his pupils constricted as if he had thought of something. His body trembled as he pointed at Xiao Feng and shrieked, as if he had seen something terrifying!


    "It''s him. It''s him. It''s him ¡­" Li Yu and Silver Blizzard looked at him with suspicion, then looked at Xiao Feng. They didn''t know what was going on!


    "It''s him! It''s him! The one who got the Earth Spirit Shield in the Earth Realm is him! He fought three great Spirit Nurturing Realms by himself and the one who made people run away spitting blood was also him! He''s a devil!"


    Li Ran''s eyes were filled with shock and fear. The scene of Xiao Feng injuring two great Spirit Nurturing Stage cultivators in the Earth Realm that day had completely left a shadow in his heart and he couldn''t let it go!


    "What?" He obtained the Earth Spirit Shield? " Compared to other things, Silver Killer was more focused on the heaven defying treasure, the Earth Spirit Shield. However, when he heard that Xiao Feng had injured two great Spirit Nurturing Stage cultivators in one strike, his expression drastically changed!


    After Li Shuo gave him a simple explanation, he nodded his head in shock and looked at Xiao Feng in disbelief. With his strength at the late stage of the Spirit Channeling realm, it was simply unimaginable for him to be in an invincible position against the three great Spirit Cultivating Stage experts!


    "Whoever you are? If you dare to interfere in things between us, you are courting death. All of you, kill them without mercy! " Silver Killer hesitated for a moment before he gritted his teeth and shouted.


    As for Xiao Feng, it was just a rumor. It was only a rumor that a late stage Spirit Realm practitioner would be able to suppress three great Spirit Nurturing Stage cultivators. Who knew what kind of method he was using to do so?


    Upon Silver Killer''s command, the aura on everyone''s bodies fluctuated and a majestic and heavy atmosphere enveloped the entire throne room. Silver Killer turned into a black shadow as he took the initiative to charge towards Xiao Feng!


    "Silver Killer, your opponent is me!" Li Shuo''s freshman had caused his mood to be elated, and even the opportunity Xiao Feng had given him had filled his body with boundless power!


    Four Killings rushed out at the same time. Xiao Feng and Li Shuo looked at each other. Li Shuo swung his staff and the Demon Fighting Rod Technique enveloped the two as they faced off. Xiao Feng''s divine dragon roared as he faced the two of them!


    "Li Ran, prepare to die!" At the same time, the other ministers were also roaring in rage as they channeled their power to charge towards Li Ran. Li Ran''s expression changed drastically. How could he be a match for the combined forces of all these people when he was only at the early stage of the sea realm?


    Li Shuo''s Demon Fighting Rod Technique released its might in his hand. The rod shadows covered the sky as they came down, forming a huge net that surrounded the two killers. It was actually evenly matched against the two middle stage of the congealed army!


    The four divine dragon shadows bared their fangs and brandished their claws as they roared and swooped down. The Wandering Dragon Steps followed closely behind them as they charged towards the two black clothed people. Now that his strength had increased greatly, it was just right to test how much his combat strength had increased!


    With his current physical strength, he could use his full strength. Each of his punches could reach the strength of more than 800 jins. The circulation of the azure dragon''s energy had wrapped his body in a layer of bronze!


    There were many martial arts recorded in the Dragon Guiding Art. On Earth, he had only learned superficial knowledge. As his understanding of it deepened, Xiao Feng''s every punch and kick were like a soaring dragon and leaping tiger, ferocious and tyrannical!


    His fists went to his hands, elbows, shoulders and knees. Each of his punches made their arms numb and their faces filled with shock!


    The two men in black were wearing black cloaks and their expressions could not be seen. However, their hearts were in turmoil as they exchanged blows with Xiao Feng. Was this even the strength of a Mid Sea Cleaving martial artist? Facing the combined attacks of two middle stage soldiers, they were actually still able to move freely and skillfully, and the more they fought, the more valiant they became!


    The two of them had a tacit understanding. After they became aware of Xiao Feng''s strength, they both nodded their heads and formed a seal with their hands. They disappeared from the spot as if they had vanished from the world!


    The Golden, Silver, and Fourth Annihilation were famous assassination organisations in Western Xia. Their methods of killing were originally extremely brilliant. Just like now, the two of them were hiding in the void, ready to launch a fatal blow at any time!


    Xiao Feng continuously formed palm techniques, and each palm strike was accompanied by the sound of dragons and tigers. The azure dragon''s aura surrounded his body and his eyes were as calm as still water. A dense Spiritual Energy surged through the surrounding space!


    After the two black-clothed men disappeared, Xiao Feng was slightly shocked. He immediately closed his eyes and, like an old monk entering meditation, allowed the surrounding killing intent to flow in all directions. He stood firmly without moving!


    After he closed his eyes, a colorful scene gradually appeared in Xiao Feng''s mind. Multicolored Spiritual Energies interweaved in his surroundings, leaving behind faint traces. There were a few fluctuations fluctuating up and down due to the tremors.


    This was the ethereal state bestowed upon him by the thousand-year Royal Jelly. When he looked into the world and entered this state, all living things in this world would turn into nothingness and return to the primal chaos.

 C48

    Once he entered into the ethereal state, Xiao Feng continued to form hand seals. A dense chill enveloped his entire body, causing all the hairs on his body to stand on end!


    Buzz! Suddenly, his eyes snapped open as he pointed his hand in the air. Two divine dragons rushed out with a monstrous might. A calm voice rang out from his throat!


    "Nine Dragons Devouring the Heavens!"


    Roar, roar, roar. The two dragons roared and crashed into the empty space in front of them. The violent energy wreaked havoc, creating a hurricane. As the divine dragon bit down, two miserable figures appeared in the empty space!


    They were horrified. How could they have ever imagined that the famous ultimate skill of the Golden, Silver, and Fourth Annihilation would be so easily broken? This was not a strength that a Sea Cleaving cultivator could possess!


    If it wasn''t for the fact that the other party was able to detect someone of a higher cultivation realm, it would have been difficult for him to do so!


    Just like how they had long since concealed themselves in the void and concealed themselves around Li Yu''s body, Li Yu didn''t notice either. All he had to do was wait for Silver Killer''s order and he would immediately kill Li Yu.


    Xiao Feng''s originally deep gaze disappeared in an instant the moment his miserable figure appeared. What replaced it was a sharp aura that shot into the sky. His entire body suddenly turned into a sharp sword as his sword energy shot straight into the clouds!


    "Sword, come!" A resplendent sword ray formed out of thin air with a casual wave of his hand. It illuminated the void like a flash of lightning. The unparalleled sharpness of the sword aura made one''s skin ache!


    "What?! Sword Laws!?" Silver Killer was shocked. He cried out loudly, "The difficulty of cultivating the way of the sword is ranked in the top three of the 3000 great daos. Although there are many people who have comprehended the way of the sword in this world, they are only beginner''s techniques. They simply cannot be called true laws!"


    He felt as if he had turned his body into a sword, as if he was the king of swords. Although his power was not too strong, his comprehension of sword arts had already surpassed ordinary people!


    "Puchi!" As the sword beams fell, a bright light illuminated the faces of the two men in black. Their shocked expressions were on their faces. Xiao Feng''s difficulty had far surpassed their imagination!


    "Ghastly Shadow Cross!" The two of them looked at each other before a dark glow suddenly bloomed on the surface of their bodies. A sharp aura was mixed within the darkness. This aura was a little less domineering than Xiao Feng''s, but a little more ice-cold!


    Ding! The daggers in their hands released a blue light, making them appear exceptionally demonic. One on the left and one on the right, they swam like snakes, then hid in the air.


    The two daggers turned into two rays of blue light as they pierced through the air and intersected with each other in front of Xiao Feng. The cold light that was as sharp as steel and mud cut open a hole in the air as if they were made of paper!


    Xiao Feng''s pupils constricted as he continuously retreated. Sword light whistled on the surface of his body as dazzling rays of light surrounded him. His hand formed into a sword finger, pointing in the air and accompanied by his explosive voice.


    "Quick sword!" A silver streak of light burst forth from his hand, its speed as fast as lightning dazzling everyone''s eyes. The sword intent suffused the air, causing sonic booms!


    However, the Cross Shadow Killer was the opponent''s Spirit Weapon. It had its own intelligence. With a strange arc, it flashed through the sword light and pierced towards Xiao Feng''s neck with extreme speed!


    Ding! A crisp sound rang out. The two daggers emitted a faint blue light. They were blocked by an illusory dark yellow light shield about ten centimeters away from Xiao Feng. They were unable to advance a single inch!


    "Earth Spirit Shield!" However, their speed was much faster and a black shadow was even faster. From the Earth Spirit Shield, a snake suddenly roared out and turned into a dark yellow cloud that enveloped the two of them!


    After a moment, the clouds dissipated and the snake transformed into a ray of light that shot into the Earth Spirit Shield. In its original position, the black clothed man no longer existed. Only the two azure daggers were left lying on the ground without any light!


    The serpent was originally at the peak of the Weapon Condensation Realm. They all had the strength to fight against three great Spirit Nurturing Stage powerhouses. Although they were affected by Xiao Feng''s strength after recognizing him as their master and could only use the strength of a Middle Ranking Spirit Beast, a Spirit Beast like it could only crush two people in the same realm!


    The black clothed man disappeared, while the other two people''s faces changed. Li Shuo used the Demon Fighting Rod Technique to fight the two of them like a raging fire. Now, he took the opportunity to swing the rod at their chests.


    The two of them vomited blood and fell to the ground. Their chests had caved in and they couldn''t stand up straight. They were immediately overpowered by the court officials beside them. Only Silver Killer was left struggling to survive!


    Li Ran''s face was ashen as he was grabbed by the hands and forced to kneel on the ground. After the four slaughter was over, Silver Killer would definitely not be his match. He had failed, he had completely failed, and he would never be able to turn back!


    "Silver Killer, hurry up and surrender!" Li Jun gave a loud shout and the wind from her palms roared out again and again, forcing Silver Killer to retreat step by step!


    "Hmph, Li Yu." "As for today''s matter, my Golden Silver Fourth Annihilation will not rest here. In the future, I will definitely flatten your Southern Song!" Silver Killer''s expression turned ugly. His face darkened to the point that it was about to drip water. With a cold shout, he instantly concealed himself in the void!


    Although he couldn''t beat Li Jun, no one would be able to stop him if he left with his half-step Spirit Nurturing Stage strength. Furthermore, he was an assassin who was good at concealment!


    The throne room was in a mess, filled with the thick smell of blood. There were a few killed corpses on the ground. Li Jun''s eyes were filled with grief as she watched this scene.


    "Li Ran, what else do you have to say?" All these crimes were caused by Li Ran selling his country to gain honor and colluding with foreign enemies. Losing a few important ministers was not a small loss to the Southern Song Dynasty!


    Li Ran was sitting blankly on the ground as he laughed at himself with a face as ashen as ashes. The few sharp swords around his neck could easily take his life at any time. He shook his head!


    "I have nothing to say!" A trace of loneliness flashed across Li Ran''s eyes. He abruptly wiped his neck with his sword and fell into a pool of blood. His speed was so fast that no one could react!


    "Ran Er ¡­" When Li Ran finally reacted, it was as if he was struck by lightning. Li Ran was already dead as he hugged Li Ran''s corpse and cried. Even if Li Ran was in the wrong, he was still his son.


    Pfft, because of the Qi attacking on his heart, Li Yu spat out another mouthful of blood. The injuries he had just recovered from had reappeared, causing him to faint on the ground!


    Li Shuo hurriedly supported Li Yu and helped him into the inner hall to rest. Immediately calling for the imperial physician, a battle in the palace initiated by the Second Prince to usurp the position, it ended here!


    Today was the first day after the coup, and all the ministers who could come were present. Li Yu''s body was also recovered with the help of the Royal Jelly, and even the bottleneck of his cultivation that had sunk for many years had loosened a bit!

 C49

    "Pass down the decree that all ministers who have lost their lives for their country will be promoted by one rank and be given the title of ''dead lord''. Their descendants will be under the protection of the country for the rest of their lives!"


    Li Jun was wearing a dragon robe as she sat on the dragon throne and issued an imperial edict. Everyone who died was loyal to their country, vowing to protect their country with their lives. They deserved the honor!


    Xiao Feng cupped his fist and bowed to Li Yu, the respect in his heart couldn''t help but increase a lot. With such a wise king in the country, what need was there to worry about the Southern Song being underdeveloped?


    "In addition, Brother Xiao should remember the first meritorious deed after this coup. Without him, my Southern Song said that we might not have fallen into the hands of the scoundrels. He is our Southern Song''s great benefactor!"


    Soon after, Li Jun stood up from the Dragon Throne and walked down while looking gratefully at Xiao Feng. Not a single one of the ministers present were unconvinced. All of their gazes were filled with respect as they looked at Xiao Feng!


    "Brother Xiao, what reward do you want? As long as it''s something our Southern Song has, we will not be stingy. Whether it''s something noble or valuable, Zheng will satisfy you!"


    When Xiao Feng heard Li Yu''s words, he hurriedly cupped his fists and bowed, "Your Majesty, how could Xiao Feng obtain such kindness from Your Majesty? The reason why the Southern Song Dynasty was able to escape danger is all because of an enlightened ruler like Your Majesty and the loyal and patriotic masters.


    "Moreover, I can be considered a friend of His Highness. If my friend is in trouble, it is only natural for Xiao Feng to do his best. If it is for the sake of fame, then Xiao Feng will not interfere!"


    Xiao Feng explained in a neither humble nor haughty manner. Regardless of whether it was in his previous life or his current life, he, Xiao Feng, only relied on the heart of chivalry to accomplish all things.


    Li Yu was also moved by Xiao Feng''s chivalrous heart. As the noble emperor, he felt respect for Xiao Feng and nodded in agreement!


    "Even though you said it like that, no matter what, Brother Xiao did a great job and must be rewarded. Brother Xiao, please think carefully. If there is anything you need, feel free to say it!" However, he still insisted on Xiao Feng''s contribution!


    Xiao Feng still wanted to say something, but he was stopped by Li Shuo shaking his head on the side. He then thought about what exactly he needed.


    After a long while, his eyes suddenly lit up. He raised his head and bowed towards Li Jun as he spoke.


    "Your Majesty, I wonder if the Southern Song has any elixirs that can nourish and heal the soul!" After thinking for a long time, Xiao Feng finally thought of the sleeping Dragon Spirit. The Dragon Spirit had exhausted all of its strength to save him. This had always been the most guilty thing in his heart!


    "Spiritual medicine that nourishes the soul?" Li Jun glanced at Xiao Feng in shock. This kind of medicinal herb was rarely seen and there were very few who could use it. What did Xiao Feng want?!


    After pondering for a moment, Li Jun opened her mouth and said, "Although this kind of elixir is not common, there is a Mixed Spirit Fruit in the treasury. It''s the soul recovery elixir that has a price and no market, since Brother Xiao is useful, I''ll give it to Brother Xiao!"


    Xiao Feng''s face was filled with joy. He didn''t expect that he would be able to find something like this with just a casual question. He couldn''t help but thank Li Jun, but she stopped him!


    "It is only a mixed fruit. How can it reflect Brother Xiao''s achievements? Pass the decree that Xiao Feng will be conferred the title of Grand Marshal of the Southern Song Army and will command over a million troops to guard our Southern Song Country!"


    Xiao Feng''s expression changed greatly. He was startled by the sudden appearance of Li Jun. He quickly knelt down and greeted her, politely refusing her. This kind of reward was too big!


    "Your Majesty, this cannot be allowed. Please retract your order!"


    "To be honest, I, Xiao Feng, a citizen of the Eastern Liao Kingdom, was lucky enough to meet Your Highness and ended up getting along with you. This is why I came to the Southern Song Dynasty and could never accept His Majesty''s decree. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"


    Li Yu was also surprised, then he helped Xiao Feng up and said, "Since ancient times, there have been no boundaries between people. Who said that the Eastern Lions could not be the Great Marshal of War of our Southern Song Dynasty? Brother Xiao, you don''t have to be so modest! "


    Your Majesty, this old subject approves of Great Hero Xiao''s words. Great Hero Xiao''s kindness is as great as a mountain, and should have received such a great reward, but even if we have no objections, the outside world will definitely speak ill of you.


    Just as Xiao Feng was about to refuse again, the new Prime Minister stood out and said to Li Yu, causing Li Yu to frown and fall into deep thought.


    "Imperial Father, Prime Minister is right. Even if we do not consider the Southern Song Dynasty, we should still consider Brother Xiao. Also, Brother Xiao''s desire is not to have a good name, but to restrict Brother Xiao by doing so would be a violation of the principle of repaying the debt of gratitude!"


    He had known Xiao Feng for the longest period of time and knew him better than him. Naturally, he understood what kind of person Xiao Feng was.


    Xiao Feng looked gratefully at Li Shuo, who smiled and nodded to him in response!


    "Alright, since that is the case, Zheng shall retract the order. But from today onwards, Brother Xiao will be the Senior Official of our Southern Song Dynasty, the position of the Prime Minister is equal to that of the Prime Minister, you can mobilize the troops of the entire nation however you wish, but Zheng will allow you to be free to do whatever you wish, you have no right nor name, you can do whatever you want, you can''t refuse anymore!"


    Xiao Feng secretly let out a sigh of relief. However, the latter''s following words really did surprise him for a while!


    "Brother Xiao, this is my royal father''s favor and also the respect and respect Southern Song has for you. If you continue to refuse, then you will be looking down on my Southern Song!"


    Xiao Feng thought for a while before finally nodding in agreement. What Li Shuo said was right. If he refused again, then he really wouldn''t give Li Jun any face. This way, it would backfire!


    After the end of the last assembly, Xiao Feng and Li Yu conversed for a while before they prepared to leave and return to Eastern Liao Kingdom. After calculating the time, it had already been two months since he entered the Sword Tomb.


    Furthermore, the sect competition that the Cloud Returning Sword Sect had originally set had probably already begun. He would definitely not be able to make it in time. He could only hope to make it to the national war!


    "Brother Xiao, this is my Southern Song''s Emperor Gold Medallion. If you see my gold medallion, you can use the entire nation''s forces as long as you see me. Also, if there is a need, I can feel it as long as you use more force on it!"


    At the same time that Li s Primordius Fruit was handed to Xiao Feng, he also gave him a shining gold plate in his hand. A domineering and dignified character, Song character, was engraved on it!


    "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Xiao Feng cupped his fist in greeting before leaving the palace, returning to his own resting place. That night, he refined the Primordius Fruit with Azure Dragon Qi and fused it into the dragon head on his chest, letting the dragon spirit absorb it!


    As the Primordius energy entered his body, Xiao Feng felt a warm feeling transmitted through his body. There was a faint sound of the dragon spirit''s weak voice mixed within.


    "Thank you!" Xiao Feng smiled slightly. Although he didn''t immediately wake up after the dragon spirit had absorbed the Primordius Fruit, he could feel that his aura had recovered quite a bit!

 C50

    The next morning, Xiao Feng did not disturb anyone and quietly left Qin City at daybreak. After asking about the route, he left by himself in the direction of the Eastern Liao Kingdom.


    Half a month later, Xiao Feng had traveled a long way through the dust. He had finally crossed the border from the Southern Song Dynasty and entered the Eastern Liao Kingdom''s territory. He led his horse and entered a small border city.


    The name of the small city was Liangzhou City. It was a mixed city between the Eastern and Southern Song dynasties, and was managed by the people of the Southern Song and Eastern Liao dynasties.


    Xiao Feng led his horse along the limestone street. The simple atmosphere of the people and the heavy atmosphere of history and culture assaulted his nostrils, causing him to feel extremely relaxed. In his memories, this kind of ancient city could only be possessed by Dali!


    In the past half a month, besides rushing on his journey, he had also absorbed some of the azure dragon''s aura in his body. Although his strength had not increased, his overall strength had increased quite a bit.


    At the same time, with the help of Jade Bee Nest, his current spiritual energy density was not any lower than that of the middle stage of the Condensation period. More and more jade peaks were forming inside the beehive, helping him cultivate, allowing him to advance by leaps and bounds!


    He found an inn to stay at, and after half a month''s journey, he couldn''t stand the horses any longer. He ordered several catties of red and beef, but Xiao Feng had not eaten since he had crossed over to this world.


    After consecutively drinking ten bowls of ''Girl''s Red'' and two kilograms of beef, all of them were swept away by him in an instant. Xiao Feng repeatedly breathed in delight as he recalled the scene of the three brothers fighting against the Shaolin Temple in his previous life and couldn''t help but feel melancholy in his heart!


    "I wonder how second and third brother are doing!" Drinking a bowl of wine in one gulp, Xiao Feng thought in his heart.


    Swish, swish, swish!


    Suddenly, the sharp sound of something tearing through the air could be heard from the rooftop. Then, a few steady figures flashed by and disappeared into the distance. They were obviously chasing something!


    Xiao Feng''s expression became serious. After hesitating for a moment, he leaped up and opened his body to follow the few black figures outside the city!


    "Tan Zhong, you actually dare to enter my Free and Unrestrained Sect to steal secret manuals. Hurry up and surrender, and come back to the sect with me to receive punishment!"


    In the darkness, four figures were surrounding a person in the middle. It was hard to see their appearance, but one could feel that none of them were weak!


    "Hehe, so what if you''re from the Free and Unrestrained Faction? I, Flying Cat, can come and go whenever I want. What can you do to me?" The surrounding people didn''t show any signs of nervousness as they crossed their arms and spoke.


    "Bastard, hand over the Free and Unrestrained Pavilion manual or I will make you inseparable from the territory of my Free and Unrestrained Sect!" The four men from the Free and Unrestrained Sects emitted a chilling aura as they enveloped Tan Zhongzheng!


    "The territory of the Free and Unrestrained Faction?" Xiao Feng was secretly shocked. He didn''t expect this to be the territory of the Free and Unrestrained Faction. What kind of person was this Tan?


    "Did you think that the Flying Cat Tan Clan lived up to their reputation? If you want to roam freely, you can take it! " Tan Zhong chuckled and immediately released a powerful wave of energy. It was actually the power of the late stage of Weapon Condensation!


    Only by stepping into the Weapon Condensation Realm would one be able to be considered a true cultivator and step into the realm of cultivation!


    In short, the Weapon Condensation Realm was called the Spiritual Weapon Condensation Realm. Only when a cultivator possessed their own weapon could they be considered a true Martial Disciple. The Weapon Condensation Realm was the most obvious sign of that!


    As the first dividing line, not only was it in terms of cultivation level, but it was also in terms of strength. People in the lower levels of the Weapon Condensation Realm were as different as heaven and earth.


    "Humph, then I''ll have to experience the Soaring Cat''s skills today!" The four disciples of the Free and Unrestrained Faction coldly snorted, and four strong auras shot up into the sky.


    Tan Zhong laughed out loud, without a trace of fear. A trace of craftiness flashed from the depths of his eyes in the darkness. Although it was ignored by the four members of the Free and Unrestrained Sect, it was caught by Xiao Feng!


    "Bring it on!" Tan Zhong gave a loud shout and his fighting spirit surged. Jade-green spirit energy gushed out like a spring as it circulated in his surroundings!


    "Wood attributed spiritual energy!" The four members of the Free and Unrestrained Sect said in surprise. Wood attributed spirit energy was a rarely seen attribute, and it was also the attribute that was the most difficult to deal with. Those who had this attribute were basically all famous people!


    Because the wood master of the five elements was the source of life, he would be able to continuously supply his master with spirit energy during battle and quickly recover from his injuries. Although it wasn''t a big injury, it was extremely important in a battle!


    Another reason was that the wood element and the wind element were extremely similar. Being able to give a person a portion of the characteristics of speed, that was probably the reason why the Soaring Cat Tan had such a reputation!


    "Four Directions Desolation!" While the four of them were still in shock, Tan Zhong''s boundless spirit energy suddenly roared out. A green ocean appeared around the four of them!


    Poof * * Poof * * Poof * Broken sounds rang out in the air as giant vines as thick as arms suddenly extended themselves and rushed towards the four of them like tentacles!


    "This guy is very strange, let''s attack together!" The four of them had serious expressions on their faces. With the strength of a late congealed soldier, it was impossible to underestimate someone who could be called a flying cat!


    Ding ding dang dang. All sorts of colors flashed by as the four people appeared in their hands. A heavy and sharp aura was constantly being emitted in the air. The four of them instantly attacked at the same time!


    "Aurora Slash!"


    "Spirit Finger!"


    "..."


    Four violent attacks soared into the sky. Although all of them had the strength of the middle stage of the Condensing Armor, when all four of them attacked at the same time, it was still extremely shocking!


    "Sure enough, those in the Weapon Condensation Stage with a sect background are still far off from other rogue cultivators!" Xiao Feng narrowed his eyes. The four of them were also in the middle stage of the Condensing Weapon. Compared to the Golden, Silver, and Fourth Annihilation, these four were much stronger!


    However, what he did not know was that the so-called Golden Slaughter was separated into Silver Killer and Gold Slaughter while his own subordinates were the opposite of Fourth Killer and Gold Slaughter. He was only facing the weakest Silver Fourth Killer!


    Rumble! * The waves of spiritual energy collided with each other, producing deafening sounds. Vines grew crazily in the midst of violent destruction, emitting a green glow in the dark night!


    "Humph, Free and Unrestrained Faction, I, Tan Zhong, will remember all of you. I will return Free and Unrestrained swimming to you. Next time, if it falls into my hands, I will not return it so easily!"


    As the spirit energy rumbled, Tan Zhong''s slightly angry voice sounded out, and a black figure suddenly flew towards the four of them. At the same time, his body borrowed the force of the explosion to instantly disappear from the spot!


    Xiao Feng stared fixedly at the spot where Tan Zhong had disappeared, deep in thought until the four members of the Free and Unrestrained Faction let out angry roars!


    This was because what fell into their hands was a piece of tattered cloth. It was also filled with the pungent smell of urine. Their expressions were terrifyingly gloomy as they chased after them once again!

 C51

    After the few of them had left, Xiao Feng leaped out from the darkness. In a dark corner, he found something wrapped in black cloth!


    This was what the flying cat had purposely used to attract the four of them when they were fighting. It took the opportunity to put them in this corner and tried to get rid of them before they came back for them, but Xiao Feng saw it with his eyes!


    Opening the black cloth, he saw an old and thin book made of sheepskin. On the cover of the book was written the words "Free and Unrestrained Palm"!


    With just a few glances, Xiao Feng was attracted by the profound palm techniques within. He was not interested in anything like sabers, spears, or sticks. Only he was infatuated with palm techniques. Perhaps it was the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms that gave him a special hobby!


    The Free and Unrestrained Palm Art was one of the few high-grade Profound Rank combat skills from the Free and Unrestrained Faction. Compared to some low-grade earth-step combat skills, it was much more practical and powerful!


    The two words "free and unfettered" were the most important word in the palm technique. It emphasized the freedom, freedom, freedom, and the freedom to do as one pleased. The palm technique came from the heart, and the strength came from the heart.


    After returning to the inn, Xiao Feng''s eyes burned with passion as he read the secret manual. Unknowingly, he began to practice. However, not long after he became addicted to it, he was suddenly stopped by himself!


    As a man, no matter how powerful this Free and Unrestrained Palm Art is, his origins are still unknown. If I don''t obtain what I want, how can I secretly learn other people''s martial arts!?


    Closing the manual, Xiao Feng sat on his bed and looked at the bright moonlight outside. He suddenly felt empty and talkative as memories of the past surfaced in his mind!


    "Xiao Feng, oh Xiao Feng, your glorious name was in vain. You have been a hero your entire life, yet in the end, you had no choice but to kill yourself. Is it right to be so loyal?" He asked himself in his heart.


    "No, since the heavens gave me a new life, it means that I must not repeat the same mistakes again. As a loyal and kind-hearted man, it is only right for me to serve the country. However, it cannot be like my previous life, it is just and foolish!"


    "The Free and Unrestrained Sect is unrighteous, and has teamed up with the other two sects to target the Cloud Returning Sword Sect time and time again. The sect treats me like family, and the Free and Unrestrained Sect is my enemy!"


    Thinking of this, Xiao Feng picked up the Free and Unrestrained Palm Technique on the table once again. There were many skills that didn''t affect his body. Since it was from the Free and Unrestrained Faction, learning it would be a kind of blow to them!


    He already had a high talent for palm techniques. In addition to the thousand year Royal Jelly''s comprehension ability and the Free and Unrestrained Palm Art, he had comprehended them overnight. Only after learning them did he realize that the Free and Unrestrained Faction was worthy of their reputation as one of the four great sects!


    The next day, when Xiao Feng opened his eyes and stopped to cultivate, the sun had already risen. He pulled his horse along the street and was about to set on his journey when he was interrupted by a wave of chaos!


    Many young people on the street rushed to the front, bustling as if they were afraid of missing something. Xiao Feng also felt that it was strange, so he casually grabbed a person and asked him what had happened!


    "You don''t know? The Qian Family is recruiting guards. The selected people are allowed to follow them to Liao City and watch the upcoming war. This is Liao City, the capital of our country! "


    The man looked at Xiao Feng and hurriedly explained to him. Then, he ran forward and Xiao Feng led his horse over!


    Because there was someone cultivating in the Free and Unrestrained Faction of the Qian Family in the Qian Family''s Liangzhou City, the Qian Family was allowed to go to the Imperial War with the Qian Family to watch. They were recruiting experts to protect the Qian Family''s Old Master and his wife!


    Everyone, this time, as long as 10 people are recruited by the Qian Family, the selected ones can all go to Liao City to watch the national war and have the opportunity to interact with the Free and Unrestrained Faction. It is not certain if they will be chosen by others, but it is not impossible for them to join the Free and Unrestrained Faction.


    In the crowd, a man who looked like a butler had his hands behind his back as he proudly spoke to the people surrounding him, because he also had the chance to go to Liao City!


    "Alright, since that''s the case, I am here to seek guidance. May I know which hero comes out to enlighten me?" Just as the butler finished speaking, a man in his twenties jumped out and said with a big saber in his hand.


    "You have the nerve to come out and make a fool of yourself with the strength of the Spirit Connection realm!" A mocking voice sounded out from the crowd as a young man who was much younger than him slowly walked over!


    "Hmph, this one is Qin Hu, please advise me!" Qin Hu''s face darkened. Without saying a word, he raised his broadsword and chopped down at the youth. Although his strength wasn''t great, it didn''t seem like he had a lot of strength!


    "A prayer mat!" The youth spat out two words as he charged straight at Qin Hu with a playful smile!


    "A hero comes out with a young man. Looks like this Pu Tao is also someone with pretty good talent!" Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, the power of Pu Tu at the early Sea Opening Realm suddenly burst forth. A wave of air rippled out and directly knocked away the descending tiger head saber!


    Bang! A light palm struck Qin Hu''s chest. It was as though Qin Hu had been struck by lightning. He spat out blood and fell to the ground. After struggling for a long time, he was unable to get up.


    "You''ve let me win!" The praying mat cupped his fist and his gaze swept over the crowd below him! A provocative aura appeared without a doubt. Without a doubt, such a gaze could attract a large group of enemies!


    Xiao Feng looked at the people fighting intensely on the stage and smiled. He turned around and led his horse away. It was just Liao City. Without the Qian family, he could still go there. Why bother doing so?


    "Sigh, is this year''s national war so lively? Why wasn''t there such a hubbub in the past? Is there any excitement? "


    "What do you know? Listen to what the young master of the Qian family has to say after he returns. During this time''s national war, the Free and Unrestrained Sects, the Divine Path Sect, and the Ten Thousand Beast Valley have all joined forces to attack the Cloud Sword Sect. Do you think they will be able to pull the sword sect out completely?"


    Just as he turned around, a wave of low and deep discussion came from the crowd, causing his face to turn serious and his eyes to turn cold!


    After standing there and thinking for a moment, nine people had been selected. There was only one remaining spot. If no one stood up, then the one who was showing off his strength on the stage would undoubtedly be the tenth person!


    "Is there anyone else? "If no one challenges me, the tenth spot will be ¡­" The butler smiled in satisfaction. This tenth person was at the mid stage of the Sea Cleaving Stage. The old master would definitely be happy to be able to find such a guard!


    However, just as he was about to announce the results, Xiao Feng''s skinny figure slowly appeared, interrupting his last few words!


    "Who is the challenger?" State your name! " The feeling of being interrupted made him very unhappy. He glared at Xiao Feng as he spoke impatiently.


    "Qiao Feng!" He spat out two words. At the same time, he had already ascended the battling platform to face the tenth person!

 C52

    "Yang Xiong!" Xiao Feng''s attitude made him extremely unhappy, especially since he was about to get a placing, but he suddenly appeared. It was clear that he was going against him. He shouted loudly and threw a punch at Xiao Feng!


    A faint dark yellow spiritual energy wrapped around his fist, Yang Xiong was actually an earth attribute spiritual energy source. Xiao Feng calmly looked at his fist, allowing the fist to grow larger in his eyes!


    "Is this person a fool? Why isn''t he fighting back? "


    "He has the strength of a Mid Sea Cleaving Stage cultivator. He is the strongest out of the ten of them. I think he''s just there to put on a show ¡­"


    "In this day and age, there are really all sorts of fools. For the sake of fame, they even throw away their lives ¡­"


    Various discussions rose and fell within the crowd, mocking and ridiculing Xiao Feng unceasingly. None of them thought well of Xiao Feng. It was as if they could already see the bruised faces of Xiao Feng and the others!


    "Turns out to be a sloppy-face Sharpei!"


    Yang Xiong couldn''t help but sneer in his heart as he looked at Xiao Feng''s appearance. He thought that the final one to come out was some kind of expert. He was worried for nothing and mercilessly charged at Xiao Feng!


    When the fist was less than ten centimeters away from Xiao Feng, he suddenly moved. His seemingly slow hand appeared like lightning in front of his face, accurately holding Yang Xiong''s fist!


    "What?! This is impossible!" Yang Xiong was shocked and hurriedly used the spiritual energy in his body to rush to his arm. However, the spiritual energy of the middle stage of the Sea Opening Realm was useless like a clay ox entering the sea!


    No matter how much he struggled, Xiao Feng''s hand was like an iron pincer that clamped down on him. It was impossible to move even an inch. Xiao Feng''s body was like an iron tower, unmoving!


    "This ¡­" Everyone present was dumbfounded. They rubbed their eyes in disbelief, as if they were afraid that they had seen wrongly. This thirteen or fourteen year old boy had actually crushed a middle stage Sea Cleaving martial artist!


    The few people who had mocked earlier were so embarrassed that their faces turned red, as if they had just eaten a fly. They couldn''t even utter a single word. They lowered their heads, not daring to look up!


    Xiao Feng slightly exerted force with his palm and Yang Xiong''s expression instantly changed. Intense pain continuously came from his arm, and it was even continuously increasing, causing him to break out in a cold sweat!


    Bang! With a casual wave of Xiao Feng''s hand, Yang Xiong''s body was thrown out of the arena like a cannonball. He landed on the ground with his arms crossed and cried out loudly!


    The butler''s expression changed slightly as he didn''t expect this brat to be so hard. However, the stronger Xiao Feng was, the more he liked him. He quickly put on a smile and happily walked toward Xiao Feng!


    After confirming that no one was challenging him, he pulled Xiao Feng''s hand and loudly announced, "I announce the tenth spot, Qiao Feng!"


    The crowd cheered loudly. Some people were envious while others were jealous. Under everyone''s gazes, Xiao Feng and the others followed the butler to the front door of a huge mansion!


    "Brother Qiao, I saw how extraordinary you were when you attacked just now. I''m sure you must be a dragon among men, Brother Qiao. I''m Zhang Tao!"


    "Chen Liang!"


    "Ma Long!"


    As they walked, the group of people cupped their fists towards Xiao Feng and introduced him. Xiao Feng''s actions earlier had already made them feel the latter''s strength!


    "Fellow brothers, please excuse my ridicule. I am just lucky. How can I be compared to you in terms of true ability? Please don''t tease me!" Xiao Feng hurriedly cupped his fists in return and said modestly.


    "Hmph, it''s just brute force. What''s so great about it? No matter how strong it is, it''s still just a mortal body. How can it contend against the heaven and earth!"


    At this time, one of the horned men snorted disdainfully. He glanced at Xiao Feng and said disapprovingly.


    "Chang Yuan, what are you saying? We''re all friends, what are you doing?" Zhang Tao looked at Chang Yuan unhappily and said.


    "Ah, Brother Zhang, Brother Chang''s words make sense. How can a human''s strength match up to the Heavens and Earth? Thank you for your guidance!" Xiao Feng hurriedly pulled Zhang Tao back as he greeted Chang Yuan with a cupped fist. He had seen this kind of person too many times. There was no need to lower himself to the same level as them.


    "Humph!" Chang Yuan snorted coldly as he tilted his head to the side, feeling extremely displeased. In his opinion, Xiao Feng''s words were obviously disrespecting him and looking down on him!


    "Brother Qiao, don''t be offended, that''s all he has!" He was on the same road as Chang Yuan, his name was Dan Ke!


    As they were speaking, the few of them had already walked into the courtyard. As soon as they entered, they could feel a rich aura. This caused the eyes of everyone apart from Xiao Feng to light up!


    "You guys go rest in the guest room first. After checking up on everyone''s abilities in the afternoon, we''ll set off for Liao City tomorrow!"


    The butler chuckled and instructed a few servants to bring them to a guest room that they had prepared beforehand. As the head of the Qian family in Liang Prefecture City, even the guest room was better than a high-class room!


    "Brother Zhang, do you know who this young master of the Qian family is?" Being able to cultivate in the Free and Unrestrained Faction and also be able to participate in the national tournament, I presume you are a genius! "


    Xiao Feng and Zhang Tao walked side by side. As they chatted, they suddenly asked this question. Because it was related to the safety of the Guiyun Sword Sect, he wanted to know more!


    "Hahaha, Brother Qiao, you''re overthinking it!" Zhang Tao laughed as he patted Xiao Feng''s shoulder, causing Xiao Feng to be stunned.


    "This young master Qian is just an outer disciple of the Free and Unrestrained Martial School, not even an inner disciple. Do you think he''s not a genius?"


    "Ugh ¡­"


    Xiao Feng''s face was filled with black lines and he immediately felt a wave of speechlessness. "Then why did he have the chance to participate in the National Battle?"


    "Because he has good skills among the outer sect disciples, the Free and Unrestrained Sect has chosen him as their lackey. He will do anything and run errands!"


    "¡­"


    The corner of Xiao Feng''s mouth twitched. Zhang Tao laughed heartily as he walked forward. He had made a huge detour. It seemed that he had done too much by taking off his pants with a fart ¡­


    "However, the reason this time''s national tournament is so lively is because the three sects have allied together to attack the Cloud Returning Sword Sect. All the geniuses from the other sects have come out, and I heard that only one person from the Cloud Returning Sword Sect is participating!"


    Zhang Tao''s expression became serious as he explained to Xiao Feng. The last sentence caused Xiao Feng''s expression to change. There was only one person from the Gui Yun Sect that was going to fight, it must be eldest senior brother Zhou Jian!


    Thinking up to here, Xiao Feng suddenly felt a boundless sense of guilt. The sect must have left him a spot in the Sword Tomb after he went missing!


    It is said that he has already stepped into the middle stage of the Weaponry Condensation Realm. As for Yin Xiong of the God Dao Sect, he is also not weak. I really do not understand why the Four Major Sects, who are also part of the Four Major Sects, would fight against each other like that!


    Zhang Tao gave a long sigh and explained to Xiao Feng, "If a single person enters the battle, I''m afraid that the Gui Yun Sect will be in for a disaster this time ¡­"


    Xiao Feng returned to his room, his heart filled with seriousness. The Du brothers, Yin Xiong, and his mysterious cousin Xiao Long, none of these people were weak!

 C53

    As one of the top figures in the sect, his existence couldn''t be compared to those like the Silver Four Murderings. Anyone who came out would definitely be able to suppress them!


    An enormous pressure pressed down on his heart as Xiao Feng fell into deep thought. It was unknown how much time had passed before he was interrupted by a knock on the door!


    "Great Hero Qiao, the Lord wants to see you guys in the backyard!"


    "Yes!" Xiao Feng replied. After leaving the room, he met with Zhang Tao and the others. Other than Chang Yuan, they smiled at each other before heading to the square together!


    "Everyone, welcome to our Qian Family''s faction. I am Qian Jie!" Just as they arrived at the backyard, an old man dressed in embroidered clothing walked up to them. He seemed to be in his fifties, and he welcomed them with a smile on his face.


    "Master Qian is too courteous. We are indebted to Master Qian for giving us this opportunity to watch the duels. Thank you, Master Qian!" Zhang Tao returned the greeting with a smile.


    "Of course. If it wasn''t for our Qian Family, you would be the only ones who wanted to watch the war. In your next life, right?" Behind Qian Jie, a young man said with his nose to the sky, causing everyone''s expression to turn cold.


    "Fei''er, don''t be rude!" Qian Jie glared at Qian Fei as he shouted in dissatisfaction. However, Qian Fei turned his head away without a care in the world!


    "My son is too rude. Please forgive me. The few of you who were able to emerge victorious from the selection are likely all peerless geniuses. I wonder if you would be able to show your skills and broaden our horizons?"


    Qian Jie chuckled. His seemingly good-natured face hid a crafty look, and the meaning behind his words were self-evident!


    "Since Master Qian is interested, then we will make a fool of ourselves!" Ma Long sneered. He stood at the front and released his dense Spiritual Energy!


    "Then let me ask for your advice!" Behind Qian Jie, a man holding a long saber leaped onto the stage and said, "Commander of the Qian Family''s guard, Blade Demon!"


    The two didn''t say much and directly began their fight. The strength of Saber Demons at the late stage of Ocean Cleaving was indeed not weak when compared to the strength of the early Ma Long. It didn''t take long for the outcome to be decided!


    "Good, good!" Qian Jie laughed out loud. Saber Demons were the commanders of the guards of the Qian Family, and their strength was one of the top five in the entire Qian Family. To be able to execute a few moves from his hands was already not bad!


    Immediately after, they all went up on stage to fight with the ghost blade, and the smile on Qian Jie''s face became even wider. As expected, they were all good candidates, qualified to be their bodyguards!


    "Everyone has extraordinary skills and Sword Demon is impressed. Next up, I''ll be asking Brother Qiao for guidance!" After the battle between Saber Demon and Zhang Tao ended, their gazes fell onto the final person, Xiao Feng!


    "Commander Dao is too serious. How can a lowly three-legged cat like me be compared with everyone here? I am truly ashamed!" Xiao Feng cupped his fist and said.


    "That is the truth. Our Brother Qiao is a practitioner of the fleshly body, and he has nowhere to use his brute force. I''m afraid that he won''t be able to take more than a few blows from Commander Dao!"


    Chang Yuan''s taunting voice suddenly rang out. Just now, he had exchanged more than 20 moves with Blade Demon. As someone who had just entered the intermediate stage, he was already proud of himself!


    "What?" A man with brute force can sneak into our Qian family and even want to participate in the watching the duels? Where''s the butler? "How did you choose?"


    Just as Chang Yuan finished his sentence, Qian Fei''s contemptuous voice sounded. He swaggered over to Xiao Feng and sized him up.


    "Our Free and Unrestrained Sect is one of the four major sects, and even the strongest sect. If you follow our Free and Unrestrained Sect to watch the state war, you''re humiliating our Free and Unrestrained Sect!"


    Qian Jie''s face darkened as he shouted in anger, "Fei''Er, how dare you! Come back here!" He glared furiously at Qian Fei for a few moments before clasping his hands at Xiao Feng.


    "Brother Qiao, please do not take offense. I sent this brat into the Free and Unrestrained Sect from a young age. He is not with me, so please forgive me for offending him!"


    Xiao Feng smiled slightly and nodded disapprovingly. Under Qian Jie''s secret gaze, the battle intent of Saber Demon enveloped Xiao Feng!


    In this world, the strong were respected, the weak could not even raise their heads. No matter what status one had, as long as one''s fist was strong enough, that was the way of the king!


    Although Qian Jie was extremely courteous, his words and actions revealed his doubts. If Xiao Feng was really as he had said, then even if Qian Fei didn''t say anything, he wouldn''t let Xiao Feng live!


    "Please advise me!" With a loud shout, Saber Demon retracted all of the Spiritual Energy in his body and used his physical strength to raise his fist and charge at Xiao Feng. His fist was like a fierce tiger and incomparably sharp!


    Xiao Feng smiled faintly at Saber Demon. How could he not know the good intentions of Saber Demon? Fighting in a manner where Xiao Feng excelled at was of no small help to Xiao Feng!


    The Great Ancestor raised his fist, but he was also not willing to show any weakness in his punches. It was fast, accurate, and fiercely punched the flesh. At every second, a muffled sound of flesh colliding could be heard!


    Bang! The two fists collided directly. A powerful force caused the air to vibrate with the contact point of the fist as the center. Both of them were pushed back at the same time!


    "Good, Brother Qiao is indeed incredible. I''m impressed!" Saber Ghost steadied his body and cupped his fist towards Xiao Feng as he spoke in praise.


    "Old master, I think that Brother Qiao isn''t weak and is qualified to criticize!" He smiled at Xiao Feng before clasping his hands towards Qian Jie.


    "Good, since you feel that it''s not bad, then I believe Brother Qiao will not disappoint us. Butler, prepare a feast and properly receive all of you tonight. We will set off for Liao City tomorrow morning!"


    He naturally knew that Saber Demon was helping Xiao Feng. The impression he had of Xiao Feng in his heart ¡ª there was a huge gap in time, but he still nodded his head!


    "If I were you, I wouldn''t even have the face to stay here anymore!" Chang Yuan sneered as he crossed his arms over his chest.


    "You better behave for me. Don''t think that you can just stay and watch. If you disgrace my Qian family, I will make you suffer!" Qian Fei walked closer to Xiao Feng and looked at him with a disdainful gaze as he spoke softly. This time, Qian Jie didn''t make a sound!


    Xiao Feng smiled slightly as he shook his head, turned around and left with Zhang Tao and the others. Such a clown was simply not worthy of his attention!


    Zhang Tao and the others also looked at Chang Yuan in dissatisfaction and left the backyard. That night, the Qian family prepared a banquet for them. Without any accidents, Xiao Feng still received many cold words.


    The next day, Qian Jie led his entourage of ten and Qian Fei as they majestically left Liangzhou City. On the way to Liao City, they attracted many people''s envious gazes.


    Xiao Feng was also in the crowd, walking with Zhang Tao and Chen Liang. Originally, he could have gone to Liao City by himself, but because of a disciple of the Free and Unrestrained Faction, Qian Fei, he entered the Qian Family.


    However, he was also happy to travel together. If he walked alone, he might have to take more detours. After all, he had zero knowledge of Liao City in his memories, not to mention there was someone to pay for all the expenses along the way!

 C54

    Ten days later, a group of travel-worn figures appeared in front of them. More and more teams appeared in their line of sight. Everyone''s common goal was the same place: Liao City!


    "Master, Young Master, the Free and Unrestrained Faction is here!" In an inn in the Gan City, Qian Jie and Qian Fei were discussing something when they were interrupted by a servant!


    "Good, the people from the Free and Unrestrained Faction are finally here!" Qian Fei''s face was overjoyed as he jumped up from his seat. He and Qian Jie hurriedly went out to welcome them while Xiao Feng and the others followed closely behind!


    "Once you meet with the members of the Free and Unrestrained Faction, show some respect. Don''t ask me why, I''m thinking for your safety!" On the way, Qian Fei ordered in a low voice.


    Ma Long coldly snorted and tilted his head to the side. Along the way, he had made quite a lot of faces at them. Although they weren''t strong, they weren''t the kind of people who could be ordered around by a servant!


    "Senior Martial Brother Sun, Senior Martial Brother Yan, thank you for your hard work. I have already prepared everything for you and have been waiting for you!" Just as he stepped out of the door, two youths dressed in purple approached him. Ten people followed closely behind him. Qian Fei immediately put on a flattering smile as he approached!


    "Enough, enough, cut the crap. Hurry up and lead the way!" Senior Martial Brother Sun looked at Qian Fei with disdain as he impatiently said this.


    "Yes, yes, yes, this way please, Senior Brother!" Qian Fei acted as if he didn''t see anything as he continued bowing and bowing like a pug. Just as he was about to turn around, he bumped into Zhang Tao and the rest!


    "Hurry up and f * ck off. Are you looking to die?" Qian Fei changed his flattering attitude and scolded Zhang Tao in anger. Changing one''s face is faster than flipping a book!


    "Hmph, pug!" Ma Long sneered and spat out a few words. The surrounding atmosphere immediately condensed as Qian Fei''s face instantly darkened!


    "Qian Fei, who are they?" Holding his sword, Shixiong Yan stared at Zhang Tao, Ma Long, and the others with an unfriendly expression and softly asked.


    "Senior Brother, they are only the dogs of our Qian Family. They have been begging and wagging their tails to follow us to watch the war!" Qian Fei glared at Ma Long viciously before turning around with a smile.


    "What did you say?" Say that again! " "Stop!" Ma Long shouted angrily as he took a step forward. However, he was stopped by Xiao Feng. Qian Fei''s words had completely touched his dignity!


    "Not just anyone can watch the war, no matter how pitiful the dog is!" Senior Martial Brother Yan sneered, patted off the dust on his body, turned around and left!


    Qian Fei chuckled as his face was filled with a fawning smile. He nodded his head in agreement as he led the others inside!


    "Senior Brother Yan, I wonder when the two Seniors and Li Xiao Yao will arrive?"


    "This is not something you should concern yourself with. It''s best if your job is done!" The group of people gradually disappeared into the distance as they heard a voice!


    "Hmph, you''re just like a pug. You really don''t know shame!" Ma Long clenched his fists tightly. The veins on his hands bulged. If it wasn''t for Xiao Feng pulling him just now, a big battle would have been inevitable!


    "Brother Ma, why bother with them?" Xiao Feng patted his shoulder and chuckled. Zhang Tao, who was beside him, also nodded his head!


    "The Gan City is only two days away from Liao City. Along the way, more and more forces have started to gather. It seems that this time''s war is not normal!" Chen Liang said softly as he looked at Qian Fei and the rest who were some distance away.


    "That''s right, just the ones gathered in the Gan City already have the Beautiful Sky Cliff, the Sword Villa, the Hundred Flowers Valley and the Domineering Gate. Although they are all second-rate forces, it still depends on their influence outside the country!"


    "There are still many places like the Gan City in the East China Sea. I''m really looking forward to the war in three days!"


    Xiao Feng''s eyes radiated with light. The influence of the war of nations had far surpassed his expectations. From the looks of it, the Cloud Returning Sword Sect was also nearing Liao City!


    After returning to the resting area, Xiao Feng was still tirelessly absorbing the azure dragon''s aura. Although there had been no substantial progress during this half a month, he had absorbed quite a bit of the dragon''s aura and his combat strength had increased by quite a bit.


    Since the arrival of Senior Martial Brother Yan and Senior Martial Brother Sun, Qian Fei didn''t have the time to shout and shout at Xiao Feng and the others to be mighty. He eagerly followed behind them all day, unable to chase after them no matter how much they despised him!


    After all, he was an inner disciple of the Free and Unrestrained Martial School. Compared to him, who was an outer disciple, there was a huge gap between the heaven and the earth. If he had this opportunity, he would not let it go so easily!


    Two days later, the two leaders of the Free and Unrestrained Faction, followed by the Qian Family, Xiao Feng, and the rest of the group stepped into Liao City.


    On the street, there were all sorts of hawking noises. Inns and teahouses and restaurants were everywhere, and each one was extremely exquisite. Even the worst one was not much worse than the best one in Gancheng!


    Because it was during the time of the national war, the entire Liao City was already packed with people. All the restaurants and inns were already packed to the brim. If it weren''t for the Free and Unrestrained Faction, even the Qian Family wouldn''t have been able to find a place to stay!


    Tomorrow is the day of the national war, when the two sect leaders, Senior Brother Li, and Senior Brother Pu arrive, you can only watch from the periphery of the arena, whoever dares to stir up trouble, don''t blame my Unrestrained Faction for being merciless!


    Senior Martial Brother Yan said arrogantly to everyone with an air of a heavenly king. Ever since he had reunited with the Free and Unrestrained Faction, even Qian Jie didn''t have the qualifications to speak anymore. He could only stand to one side.


    "Yo, Senior Yan, long time no see!" At this moment, an ear-piercing sound was heard from behind them. Turning their heads to look, they saw a group of four people wearing yellow robes walking over with laughter!


    "So it''s Senior-apprentice Brother Wang from the God Dao Sect. Please excuse me!" Senior Martial Brother Yan quickly returned the greeting and changed his expression. Now, the four major sects, other than the Cloud Returning Sword Sect, had joined forces to target the Cloud Returning Sword Sect!


    "Senior brother Yan is really interested, and he even brought his fellow disciples to shop here. Oh, why are there so many people from the Free and Unrestrained Faction this time?"


    Wang Sheng''s eyes swept across the crowd behind Senior Yan and chuckled, the meaning behind his laugh was self-evident.


    "Brother Wang, you must be joking. They are just the vassals of our Free and Unrestrained Faction. They are not considered to be part of the Free and Unrestrained Faction. They are just here to watch the national war."


    "Oh, so you''re a errand boy from the Free and Unrestrained Faction. I was wondering when the Free and Unrestrained Faction would lower their standards, and when did they even accept these trash into their sect!" Upon hearing his senior brother Yan''s words, Wang Sheng''s nostrils flared up as he laughed out loud.


    "What did you say? Who are you calling a fish?" Ma Long, who had been in a bad mood all of a sudden, roared angrily at Wang Sheng.


    "Aren''t you? Look at your cowardly faces. You want to follow them into a national war? No wonder you can''t enter the Free and Unrestrained Faction. If you aren''t a trash, then what are you? " Wang Sheng sneered. The contempt in his eyes was obvious without a doubt. His sharp and harsh words had completely infuriated Ma Long!

 C55

    "What is it? Still not convinced? Do you want to take two moves to see the gap? " Looking at the furious Ma Long, who was clenching his fists tightly, Wang Sheng was still getting what he wanted. He glanced at Senior Brother Yan and saw that the other person had nodded to himself!


    "So what if I hit you? I''m not afraid of you!" Ma Long suddenly rushed out and spirit energy exploded from his body. The commotion caused by the early stage of Fasting Sea had attracted the attention of many people from the surrounding streets!


    "A mere early stage Sea Opening. Who gave you the courage to provoke my Divine Dao Sect?" Wang Sheng gave a loud shout as a sinister light flashed across his eyes. A powerful shockwave suddenly swept out and blew away the power of a peak mid-stage Sea Cleaving stage expert.


    "Today, I will show you how lowly you are!" Wang Sheng clasped his hands together, and his mysterious body suddenly disappeared from where he stood. In the next instant, he appeared five meters away, next to Ma Long!


    Ma Long''s eyes became serious. The opponent''s punch had already reached his chest. His body quickly retreated, while Wang Sheng followed closely like a maggot on the bone. A sinister murderous intent enveloped Ma Long!


    "Tiger Roar Claw!"


    At this critical moment, Ma Long let out a roar that was mixed with the roar of a tiger. A sharp aura suddenly blossomed from his hand and five rays of cold light shot into the sky!


    "Tiger claws? I think it''s a cat''s paw! "Tremor Mark!" Wang Sheng sneered. The strange power in his hand flowed through his fingertips, as if it was a ghost talisman drawing in the air. One trace after another gradually formed in the air!


    With a loud shout, the rune in front of his eyes suddenly took shape. A bright light flashed across Wang Sheng''s eyes. His palm suddenly slapped the rune, and the rune instantly whizzed out!


    With the rune as the center, a heavy and irresistible fluctuation was suddenly released. The surrounding space actually began to tremble and shake, especially wherever the rune passed. Even the air began to distort!


    "Is this the power of the runes?" Shock surfaced in Xiao Feng''s eyes. He had heard from Liang Ren that Chu Lie had quite a bit of skill in this area. It was just that he didn''t have the time to consult with him!


    As the name implies, the Divine Dao Sect uses cultivation to draw talismans to draw upon the energy of heaven and earth, borrowing the invisible energy of heaven and earth to suppress its opponent. This is another occupation of the Black Tortoise Continent: cultivation, Symbol Master!


    Crack! With a crisp cracking sound, cracks appeared on Ma Long''s ferocious tiger claw. Under the pressure of the surrounding space, the claw broke apart!


    "What?! This is impossible!" Ma Long''s facial expression changed. His Tiger Roar Claw was a high-level Yellow Rank martial skill, but it was not even able to withstand a single blow from Wang Sheng!


    "Humph, it''s just a child, a Fire Pattern!" Wang Sheng sneered. Having gained the upper hand in a single move, he once again stepped forward. A fiery red light flowed on his fingertips, and a scorching flame continued to spew out from them!


    In the blink of an eye, a fiery red rune took shape. The center of the rune was like a giant mouth that was spitting out a fiery tongue. It swept towards Ma Long!


    Ma Long''s expression was grim. The difference between a rogue cultivator and a sect disciple was completely evident at this moment. Moreover, there was an absolute suppression on a sect disciple''s level. A crisis had instantly surrounded him!


    The tiger''s roar shook the forest!


    However, he did not sit still and wait for death. A deep growl came from his throat and a deafening tiger''s roar came from his mouth!


    Powerful spiritual energy wrapped around the sound wave and it surged forward like a wave. The sound wave transformed into the image of a fierce tiger as it madly charged towards the flames!


    Whoosh whoosh whoosh, the sound waves surrounding the tiger dispersed quite a bit of the flames. However, as the patterns of fire grew closer and closer to the center of the flames, the light on its body gradually dimmed!


    Awoo, awoo, the tiger that was surrounded by flames let out a miserable howl and suddenly exploded within. The spirit energy fragments engulfed the surroundings and dispersed quite a bit of the flames, and Ma Long also suffered a backlash, his face instantly turning pale!


    "Go to hell!" Wang Sheng''s complexion was also unimaginably dark. He had been defeated by an early stage rogue cultivator, and this was an unforgivable provocation!


    "Bind him!" With a low roar, the killing intent in his eyes suddenly soared. His fingertips once again engraved in the air, and as the symbols took shape, a gust of cold astral wind blew out from his surroundings!


    A trace of blood seeped out of Ma Long''s mouth. He clenched his fists and stared at Wang Sheng. His eyes were filled with ruthlessness. Even if he died, he would never let Wang Sheng feel good!


    Shua, shua, shua. The runes formed and the sharp sword qi twisted crazily, forming a huge destructive space. Countless destructive sword qi roared out, forming a rain of swords that rushed towards Ma Long!


    Both of his hands quickly formed a seal. Because of some fortuitous encounters, he had mastered a low-grade Profound Rank battle skill. However, because of the difficulty in using it, he didn''t have the time to think about it!


    "Dragon and Tiger Kill!"


    With bloodshot eyes, he suddenly raised his head. His bloodshot eyeballs were staring at Wang Sheng, just like a mad beast, which made people shudder in fear.


    As he drained all the spiritual energy in his body, his surroundings suddenly changed. A faint divine dragon simulacrum appeared on the right, and the white tiger on the left flapped its wings and roared, revealing a vicious look.


    In the next moment, as Ma Long''s hand seals fell, the divine dragon and tiger suddenly dashed towards the sword markings, bringing with them an unstoppable momentum. The fierce tiger rampaged about, and the divine dragon twisted and roared.


    "How dare you!" As a rune master, he was well aware of the consequences once his rune was destroyed. Although each rune looked easy to carve on the surface, after going through countless hardships, the first thing they had to do was to carve the original rune into their body. Once the rune was destroyed, the source would suffer minor injuries, and the heavy was, the source would perish!


    However, it was already too late. With his drastically changed expression, the dragon and tiger roars had already rushed to the front of the rune. In the next instant, both of them fused together and completely detonated!


    The magical symbols were shattered by the violent force, turning into spirit energy fragments and dissipating into the air. Suddenly, there was a cracking sound as the magical symbols inside Wang Sheng''s body shattered, and a crack appeared!


    With a sudden spurt of blood, Wang Sheng was instantly severely injured. Luckily, his opponent was only at the early Sea Cleaving stage and could only damage his source energy. If his opponent was strong, it would be a piece of cake for him to directly destroy his source energy!


    "Bastard, you''re courting death!"


    "You''re courting death!"


    Wang Sheng''s face turned gloomy. He never thought that a mere early stage boy would actually damage his origin rune. Although he had underestimated his opponent, this was definitely not the reason for his failure!


    At the same time, Senior Martial Brother Yan''s face also changed. He angrily slapped his palm towards Ma Long. Under the violent force, his killing intent was completely revealed. This had become a fatal crisis for Wang Sheng and Ma Long!

 C56

    Ma Long spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. He was already on his last breath and the spirit energy in his body had been squeezed out to the point where not even a sliver of it remained. Let alone the two of them working together, even one of them was not someone he could resist!


    "Stop, what are you doing!"


    "Bastard, you''ve gone too far!"


    The expressions of Zhang Tao and Chen Liang changed. They never thought that Senior Yan would suddenly attack Ma Long. This was simply taking advantage of the situation!


    Senior Martial Brother Yan''s face was also full of sneers. Not to mention an ordinary person who had never met him, even an outer sect disciple like Qian Fei would not hesitate to give up in the face of the sect''s alliance!


    He didn''t expect his life to end like this. He wasn''t willing to accept this, he had to become a genius in his next life, he had to crush all these scum!


    The faces of Zhang Tao and Chen Liang paled, but it was too late for them to save him, not to mention that the opponent''s strength was on par with their own. They might even be stronger than him. They didn''t even know if they could stop him!


    Ma Long closed his eyes in desolation, waiting for death to descend. However, for a long time, he didn''t feel any attacks fall on him. He couldn''t help but open his eyes again!


    "Brother Ma, giving up on resisting like this isn''t because you''re chasing after the peak of martial arts that you still have the temperament!" In front of him, Xiao Feng''s right hand glowed with light as he punched out with a violent aura of the Azure Dragon!


    Aowu, the divine dragon roared and rushed out from his arm. It turned into a boundless divine dragon, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws as it rushed out and collided with Wang Sheng!


    Then, with a flick of his left finger, a sharp aura shot up into the sky. His entire body seemed to transform into a peerless divine sword, baring its sharpness!


    "Sword, come!" A light sound came from his throat. As he pointed his finger, countless sword Qis suddenly formed in the air and rushed at Senior Brother Yan. The sharp and sharp aura made people''s pupils shrink!


    "So powerful!" Zhang Tao and Chen Liang''s eyes became serious as they inwardly exclaimed. They didn''t expect that Xiao Feng would be so powerful when he made his move. They didn''t expect him to be the one hiding the deepest among this group of people!


    Woosh woosh woosh woosh." The sword Qi howled and tore the void apart. Brother Yan''s face darkened. He dared not meet this attack head on, and was forced to turn around and retreat. Wang Sheng was also pushed back by the dragon. His injured body became even more serious.


    "Good, I never thought that there would be a hidden expert among the people the Qian Family brought. Very good!" Senior Martial Brother Yan''s vicious gaze swept over Qian Jie and Qian Fei. His ice-cold voice nearly made them sit down with their legs weak.


    "How is this possible? How is this possible? He only cultivates the body, how can he be so strong!" Qian Fei''s face was pale as he looked at the figure of Ma Long who was helping him up. He could not believe what he had just heard.


    "Butler, butler..." Qian Jie was frightened by the look in senior Yan''s eyes. The fact that the Qian Family was able to dominate the entire Liangzhou City did not mean that they dared to challenge the Free and Unrestrained Faction.


    Behind Qian Jie, Saber Demon''s eyes lit up. He looked at Xiao Feng in surprise and nodded, "I was not wrong. This person is not simple!"


    Xiao Feng ignored everyone''s gazes. After helping Ma Long up, a stream of Spiritual Energy entered his body and guided his Spiritual Energy to circulate. Afterwards, he let himself recover and rest!


    "How dare you interfere in the matters of our Free and Unrestrained Faction! Moreover, you even injured a Senior Martial Brother of the Divine Dao Sect! Boy, you''re quite bold!" Senior Yan walked over and coldly shouted at Xiao Feng.


    "What Divine Dao Sect''s Free and Unrestrained Faction? I don''t know them, I only know that no one can harm my brothers and friends in front of me!" Xiao Feng replied in a neither humble nor haughty manner.


    "Good, you have guts. I''m afraid you don''t have that ability!" Wang Sheng also walked over shakily and stood together with Brother Yan.


    "Senior brother Yan, this matter started because of your Free and Unrestrained Faction. I''m afraid you have to give me an explanation, right?" But soon after, he looked towards Senior Yan and said with a deep voice.


    Qian Jie and Qian Fei''s facial expression changed once again. These people were brought here by the Qian Family to investigate their responsibilities. The Free and Unrestrained Faction would definitely take advantage of the Qian Family. Immediately, they almost fell to the ground in fright!


    Senior Martial Brother Yan''s face also slightly stiffened. He was obviously the one who caused this trouble, and now he wanted to bite someone. However, when he thought about the sect''s relationship, he nodded and swept his gaze across the Qian Family''s people!


    "Senior brother Wang, the Free and Unrestrained Sect will certainly give you an explanation for this matter, but at the feet of the Emperor, it is not good to cause trouble. Moreover, this boy doesn''t seem like a good person either.


    Wang Sheng frowned slightly, but after some thought, he nodded his head. Although he and Senior Martial Brother Yan might not necessarily be afraid of Xiao Feng if they worked together, it would only be more disadvantageous to his own injuries!


    "Qiao Feng, right? I will remember you. I will definitely get back at you for what you have done today! " Wang Sheng glared fiercely at Xiao Feng as he threatened him in a low voice.


    "At any time!" Xiao Feng smiled slightly and cupped his fists towards Wang Sheng. The Free and Unrestrained Faction and the God Dao Sect were already in a dead-end situation. So what if they had a little more?!


    "Humph!" Senior brother Yan also stared at Xiao Feng with a puzzled look for a long time, trying to see through him. However, the other party was like a fog, he could not see through him at all.


    As expected, Xiao Feng and the others were chased out of the inn by the Qian family. They couldn''t defeat any of them even if they wanted to take revenge. They could only try their best to distance themselves from the rest of the group as quickly as possible!


    The few of them smiled at each other. They had searched the entire Liao City, which was filled with guests, for half a day before finally finding a remote thatched hut to stay the night. The price was still two times that of an ordinary inn, causing them to be speechless!


    After they entered, Ma Long fell into recovery. Xiao Feng''s term of ''brother'' had already been completely imprinted into his heart, making him truly treat Xiao Feng as his soulmate!


    Chen Liang and Zhang Tao were also infected by his chivalrous heart. They were once again acquainted with this person whom they had met by chance, but at the same time, they also felt that Xiao Feng was more and more mysterious!


    "Tomorrow is the National Battle. I wonder what kind of exciting show it will be!" In the evening, other than Ma Long, the rest of them sat in the courtyard drinking wine and talking.


    Other than Chang Yuan, everyone else had high levels of respect for Xiao Feng. Chang Yuan''s face also alternated between green and red. He never thought that Xiao Feng would actually hide his strength!


    "Don''t be too happy too early. Offending the Free and Unrestrained Sects and the Divine Dao Sect, we don''t even know if we can see a national war or not. We don''t even know if we can walk out of Liao City alive!" Chang Yuan said coldly.


    "Ai, Brother Chang is wrong. In this world, the most important thing is to have a confidant. A soldier will die for his friend, so what''s the point of life and death?" Zhang Tao laughed.


    "Yes, yes, yes! Brother Zhang is right!" Chen Liang drank a bowl of wine and continued.

 C57

    "Brother Chang, you''re right. It''s fate that we can all gather together. We don''t know what will happen tomorrow. How about we have a good drink first?" The two of them had known each other for the longest period of time, so they naturally knew who he was!


    "Hmph, let''s drink tomorrow!" Chang Yuan stared at the few of them and snorted as he removed his hand before walking into the room, leaving behind a few stunned people. They shook their heads and laughed and continued drinking!


    "Everyone, please don''t take offense. He''s like this. He wants face to live and suffer, but he can''t let go of it. Everything will be fine after a while!" She smiled awkwardly as she spoke.


    After three rounds of drinking, besides Xiao Feng, everyone else was lying unconscious on the ground. Xiao Feng looked at these few people he had known for a short period of time and felt a rare sense of calm and brotherly affection!


    "What will happen tomorrow?" Calmly lying in his courtyard, Xiao Feng raised his head to look up at the starry sky and looked at the similarly bright moon. The moon was the round moon of his hometown; he didn''t know if his brothers on Earth would be able to see such a full moon!


    The next morning, the sun gradually rose in the east. A refreshing breeze blew past, bringing along a trace of moist and warm comfort. It was a good omen that the weather would be good today!


    Xiao Feng had absorbed a bit of Azure Dragon Qi in one night, and the remaining one-fourth of the Dragon Qi had shrunk by a circle. He was only one step away from reaching the late stage of Sea Cleaving!


    On this day, it was destined to be an extraordinary day for the entire Eastern Liao Kingdom. The entire country was shaken, and Liao City was packed with people. Compared to before, it was countless times more crowded!


    "On the day of the national war, eighty to ninety percent of the large and small sects and sects have gathered here. We can''t miss such a grand competition, let''s set off together!" Chen Tao laughed heartily. The few of them went on their way!


    The location of the war was set on Qing Qiu Island, which was located five miles outside of Liao City. Qing Qiu Island was located in the center of Qing Qiu Lake.


    "Who do you think will be the final victor of this time''s national war? Was it Little Xiao Yao or the little savage beast, Shi Tao? Or Yin Xiong of the God Dao Sect? " Along the way, Chen Liang said playfully to the others.


    "I think the one with the highest probability is still the Heavenly Dragon Emperor ¡­" His words caused Xiao Feng''s body to tremble!


    "Brother Qiao, what do you think?" Zhang Tao seemed to have felt Xiao Feng''s abnormality and asked.


    Xiao Feng shook his head with a light smile. "What does who wins have to do with us? We''re just spectators!"


    "Heh, that''s easy to say. I''m afraid that after the duels, we won''t be as simple as mere spectators ¡­" Chang Yuan glanced at Xiao Feng and said coldly. In terms of destroying the atmosphere, he had shown it to the fullest in the past few days!


    The few of them stared at him speechlessly and continued to walk forwards. As they moved forward, more and more people began to gather and set up all kinds of flags. This kind of lineup was enough to shock even Xiao Feng.


    "The ''Green Dragon Gang'', the ''Lotus Pond Camp'', the ''Sea Sand Gang'' and even these unranked small factions have come. This time''s national war is truly attractive!" He looked at the various flags and spoke.


    "Look, the people from the Cloud Returning Sword Sect are here!" At this moment, Zhang Tao''s voice rang out. Xiao Feng''s eyes narrowed as he turned his gaze over. Mo Wentian, Liang Ren, Chu Lie and the rest were in the lead. Zhou Jian and a few other disciples were following closely behind them as they walked over!


    Xiao Feng hurriedly turned around. He couldn''t let them recognize him. It wasn''t time yet, if he were to be recognized now, the Guyun Sword Sect would only be facing an even greater threat from him!


    "Sure enough, a big sect is still a big sect, and it''s not something that an ordinary force can compare with. Even if there''s only one person participating, their majesty and imposing aura is no weaker than the other three sects!" Chen Liang''s eyes lit up as he said this, because with the appearance of the Cloud Returning Sword Sect, all the White Tiger Gang members made way, automatically opening up a path for him!


    "Look, it''s people from the Divine Dao Sect!" All of a sudden, just by being shocked, the Divine Path Sect members had also come!


    "It''s the God Dao Sect''s Sect Leader, Li Yi!" In Xiao Feng''s eyes, the Daoist Priest Li from that day was following behind a long-bearded old man. Behind him, three disciples with extraordinary auras followed closely. One of them was dressed in black and his unconcealable sharp aura attracted the gazes of many!


    "Oh, why is Sect Head Mo here so early? I remember that in the past, wasn''t the Cloud Returning Sword Sect the last to arrive? Why are you here so early this time? It''s because there''s only one participant participating in the competition, so you must be afraid of losing face! "


    As soon as they met, Daoist Priest Li stroked his beard and began to mock him. The anger he had suffered at the Cloud Returning Sword Sect a few months ago was something he was always concerned about!


    "What did you say?" Say that again! " Chu Lie''s face darkened. He jumped out and shouted at Daoist Priest Li.


    "If you keep up the act, I will not rest until you are dead!" In addition, he had been cultivating in the Divine Dao Sect and had become a Daoist. His conduct was not good, and his character was not good. That was why he had been given the nickname of ''Righteous Fellow''!


    "Don''t be rude!" Li Yi and Mo Wentian shouted out at the same time, but their words didn''t contain even the slightest hint of blame.


    "Oh, coming early is better than coming early. So you two arrived so early. It seems that this time, it''s my Free and Unrestrained Faction''s turn to follow the footsteps of the Cloud Sword Sect. You''ve come late!"


    When the two of them looked at each other, the members of the Free and Unrestrained Faction also arrived. The leader was a tall and handsome man while the other one was a dwarf. It was an extremely ugly and carefree old man!


    "What? It seems like you all still remember our bet. Don''t tell me you all want to fulfill it now?" Liang Ren chuckled and said softly. The complexions of Old Yao and Li Yiran immediately turned ashen!


    "I hope you guys can still be so amazing during the competition. It seems that the Cloud Returning Sword Sect no longer needs to continue existing by itself!" Old man Yao''s face was so dark that it seemed as if water would drip out at any moment as he sneered faintly.


    "It''s still better than a bunch of pretentious and notorious rats!" Liang Ren confronted him with a tit for a tat as he refused to back down.


    "The Emperor has arrived! The crown prince has arrived! " As the two sides clashed blows, a sharp sound suddenly rang out. Following this sound, the entire Qing Qiu Island began to boil with excitement!


    The hostile atmosphere between the two parties was instantly broken. They looked at each other and retreated back to their seats, respectfully welcoming the emperor!

 C58

    "We pay our respects to the Emperor!" At the same time, everyone cheered in unison. In the midst of the cheers, two elite troops appeared, opening a path in front of them. An iron blood killing aura emanated from the armor; it was obviously the elite troops who had experienced a battle of life and death!


    A tall and sturdy man wearing a golden dragon robe with a crown on his head walked over majestically. With every step he took, the domineering aura of an emperor was completely evident.


    Between his brows, there was a hideous scar that stretched from his right eyebrow all the way to his left cheek. This person was the current emperor of the Eastern Liao Kingdom, Xiao Feng''s uncle, Xiao Li!


    Behind him, a gentle, refined, and handsome youth slowly walked over. If it wasn''t for the fact that he didn''t know anyone else, he would have thought that the youth was sickly, but in reality, his fame had shaken the Dong Liao Kingdom''s Sky Dragon Prince, Xiao Long!


    "Everyone, please sit!" Xiao Li slowly sat on his highest seat. He placed his hands flat and his loud voice spread throughout Qing Qiu Island and the surrounding mountains!


    Along with the arrival of the royal family, the surrounding mountains were already packed with people. On the island, besides the disciples of the Four Major Sects, there were also some of the most famous seniors or nobles of the Eastern Liao Kingdom!


    "It''s another time of the National Battle. This King doesn''t have to say much. The reward for this time''s National Battle is a condition that the winner can put forward. Whether it is the reward or the request, This King promises everything and will not go back on his word!"


    It was a promise by the ruler of a country that he would agree to no matter what he asked of them. It was such a generous reward, if there was a chance to participate in the national fight, they would fight for it even if they had to risk their lives!


    However, there were some people who sensed something different. Xiao Li''s reward was likely something else of his own volition. Xiao Feng''s expression was also solemn. This matter was indeed more serious than he had imagined!


    "It seems like this time''s national war was not only aimed at the Cloud Returning Sword Sect, but also by the three other sects. It seems like there''s something fishy going on!" The others nodded their heads!


    "Alright, I won''t say too much. This king declares that the first round of the national tournament will officially begin. The first round will be a free-for-all. All participants will be engaged in a free-for-all until there are eight people left!" Xiao Li''s rolling Spiritual Energy wrapped around his voice as it surged. The powerful deterrence caused the expressions of Xiao Feng and the others to turn serious!


    "This level of strength is likely at least in the middle or even late stages of the spirit raising realm!"


    Xiao Li''s voice had just sounded when a huge tall platform suddenly rose from the ground and flickered with a strange light in front of everyone''s shocked gazes!


    "It''s actually a battle arena with array formations and protection. As expected of the national tournament!" Someone said in his heart, and then all the figures suddenly rose up from the ground and landed on the high platform!


    Li Xiao was the first to leap up as her elegant figure landed on the platform. Following that, the Divine Path Sect''s Yin Xiong slowly stepped onto the stage. It was unknown when Ten Thousand Beast Sect''s Shi Tao appeared on stage. A few other qualified contestants also rushed up!


    On the Cloud Returning Sword Sect''s side, Mo Wentian, Liang Ren, and the others all looked at each other, then looked at Zhou Jian. Their serious expressions were obvious.


    "Sect Master, several elders, this disciple has already decided to participate. No matter what, our Cloud Returning Sword Sect cannot lose face!" Zhou Jian''s eyes were filled with determination. Not long ago, the Sword Tomb had allowed him to successfully step into the Weapon Condensation Realm, and his strength had increased by a lot!


    Ai," the few of them sighed helplessly. A hint of desolation flashed in their old eyes. "Could it be that the heavens are really going to destroy my Gui Yun Sect?" Many years ago, a Xiao Yang appeared, and not long after that, his position suffered a calamity, and then there was a Lin Wushang. However, he disappeared without a trace, and the Xiao Feng not long ago once again brought them boundless hope.


    "Go, be careful. Everything is important to your safety. You can''t force yourself to go. If there''s no other way, then withdraw. Do you understand?" Mo Wentian steeled his heart as he spoke to Zhou Jian.


    Zhou Jian nodded his head and immediately flew up towards the platform. Under everyone''s gazes, he was the last one to land on the stage!


    "Hehe, and here I thought the Cloud Returning Sword Sect had been scared off. I didn''t think they would actually send someone who wasn''t afraid of death to die. Interesting!"


    Yin Xiong crossed his arms across his chest and looked at Zhou Jian in a relaxed manner. He and Li Xiao and the others looked at each other and mocked.


    "A lowly person gets what he wants. If it wasn''t for the magnanimity of our Cloud Returning Sword Sect, you would still have the face to compete in this competition and would have climbed out of the Cloud Returning Sword Sect long ago!" Zhou Jian refused to be outdone and mocked.


    "Say that again!" How could they not know about this? It was all their fault for not bringing them along at the beginning, otherwise how could they have fallen for such a joke!


    "Just say it, what can you do to me? The three sects came to my Cloud Returning Sword Sect to provoke, and were completely defeated by my sect''s youngest junior brother, who was willing to not accept the loss. We said that we would climb out of the Cloud Returning Sword Sect, but we went back on our word.


    Zhou Jian''s voice resounded throughout the entire Qing Qiu Island and even the Qing Qiu Lake. His words caused a thousand ripples, and his words immediately set off thousands of spectators. The three sects'' faces instantly became extremely gloomy!


    "Wow, there''s actually such a thing? How come we don''t know about it? The combined forces of the three sects actually lost to the youngest disciple of the Gui Yun Sect. This is no small loss of face ¡­ "


    "That''s right. I heard rumors saying that the junior brother used some kind of beatings that made the three sects fall apart. That''s very powerful ¡­"


    "Alright, alright, you guys should stop talking. Be careful not to cause a fire to burn your body ¡­"


    The crowd immediately burst into an uproar as all sorts of discussions rose up and down. Every word was like a thorn piercing into the ears of the three sects, causing them to be almost unable to suppress the anger in their hearts!


    "You''re courting death!" Bian Yao''s face was terrifyingly gloomy. He roared, and before the others could make their move, they were about to kill Zhou Jian!


    "Ahh, gentlemen, I have an idea. What do you think?" Just as Pu Yao was about to make a move, he was interrupted by Yin Xiong. Even Shi Tao, who had been silent all this time, narrowed his eyes!


    "Anyways, everyone is well aware of the goal of this time''s National Battle. There isn''t one more person to be promoted, nor one less person. We will ensure that he will enter the finals together, and then ¡­" At the end of his words, Yin Xiong''s palm fiercely slashed across his neck!


    "Is there a better way to destroy someone than completely destroying them when they are only one step away from success?" Li Xiao instantly understood. She clapped her hands in satisfaction as she walked over and said.

 C59

    Since they had already reached an agreement, then Zhou Jian would naturally be given a spot. Since he wouldn''t be able to enter the finals, why not sell him a favor from the three sects? That would be for the best!


    Since he had come, he did not plan to return alive. No matter what, he could not embarrass the sect, and since there was someone willing to protect him, he was naturally willing to accept it!


    "Oh no, Zhou Jian is in danger!" The expressions of Liang Ren, Mo Wentian, and the others paled. With their rich experience, how could they not know what the other party was trying to do? It was already too late to back down now.


    At the same time, Xiao Feng''s expression darkened and the anger in his heart rose uncontrollably. Zhou Jian was his eldest senior brother. He would not let anything happen to him for the sake of the sect!


    Since he had already decided, the first round of the free-for-all naturally had nothing to do with Zhou Jian. In fact, there were even people who tried to attack him, but he was stopped by a few people.


    This scene in front of everyone''s eyes was strange. This kind of situation actually happened in the national war, it really made them at a loss of whether to laugh or cry. Many people wanted to break their brains to advance, but he actually had someone protecting him!


    It had to be said that a state war was a state battle. Those who went on stage were all genius figures under the age of twenty from the Eastern Divine Kingdom, all of them had extraordinary skills. Some of the people from the small sects, even the Four Major Sects, or even Xiao Li and the others, could not help but secretly nod in acknowledgement!


    Many geniuses were engaged in a free-for-all, and even the first round of battles had lasted for more than ten minutes. Only because there were only eight people left on the stage, did the battle stop!


    As everyone expected, Li Xiao Pu Yao, Yin Xiong, Shi Tao, Zhou Jian, who never showed any signs of successfully advancing, and three geniuses from different places!


    Xiao Li stood up from his chair as though he did not see what had happened. He ignored Zhou Jian and announced the results of the first round of the advancement!


    "For the second round, we shall challenge each other. The five contestants shall be promoted and each of them shall have their own destiny!" The authoritative voice boomed once again, pushing the tense atmosphere that had just calmed down a lot! Especially the last sentence, it made the crowd burst into an uproar!


    "Sima Zhao''s intentions are known to everyone on the road. These people have already revealed their intentions without a doubt. They are clearly from the three sects joining forces against the Cloud Returning Sword Sect. I really don''t know what the Cloud Returning Sword Sect has done to be so oppressed by them!"


    Ma Long''s temper was already bad. He had already lost interest in watching this unfair national war because this match had lost all of its original meaning!


    Xiao Feng''s eyes were cold and sharp. Xiao Li really did have quite a few connections with the three sects. If this were to continue, Zhou Jian''s position would only become more and more dangerous!


    The God Dao Sect''s Free and Unrestrained Martial School and the Ten Thousand Beast Sect looked at each other, their eyes full of understanding. The corners of their mouths hooked up into a mocking smile.


    "I''m He Chuan from the Tian Xiang Sect, I would like to ask the Cloud Returning Sword Sect''s Senior Brother Zhou Jian for guidance on a few moves, would Senior Brother like to give me some pointers?" Among the three geniuses from other places, one of them walked up to Zhou Jian and cupped his fists as he greeted.


    Zhou Jian opened his eyes and glanced at He Chuan. He stood up slowly and a sharp light flashed across his calm eyes. The other party had been ordered by the three sects to provoke him. They were only trying to give him a way to advance!


    "Bring it on!" Since that was the case, why would he be modest? Moreover, he didn''t mind making an example out of nothing and extinguishing the other party''s might!


    "Please advise me!" He Chuan exchanged a glance with the others and revealed a smile of satisfaction. Following that, a large spirit weapon appeared in his hand. He rushed over with the strength of an early stage condensing weapon!


    Knowing that they were unable to enter the finals and had no fate with the rewards, he decided to build a closer relationship with the three sects. Right now, the three sects were like the sun in the sky, but once the Guiyun Sword Sect disappeared, they would only grow stronger!


    Zhou Jian calmly looked at He Chuan. A sharp astral wind slowly blew around his body, sharp, sharp Qi instantly rippled out!


    Shua, he moved. When He Chuan was two meters away from him, his eyes instantly flashed with a bright light. His right hand pointed forward, and a resplendent sword light flashed on his finger before disappearing in a flash!


    Quiet like a virgin, moving like a bolt of lightning. In that instant, everyone only felt their vision blur as a blinding light flashed by. As fast as lightning, Zhou Jian appeared behind He Chuan!


    He Chuan continued to rush forward. In the next moment, his pupils dilated and under everyone''s astonished gaze, he collapsed to the ground. A thin line of blood appeared on his neck. It was a fatal strike!


    "Hiss, what a fast sword!" Zhang Tao''s pupils constricted. He could not help but exclaim in surprise. When Zhou Jian attacked, he could only see a flash of light. It was unbelievably fast!


    Xiao Feng also nodded in agreement. Zhou Jian had obviously obtained the inheritance of some sword expert from the Sword Tomb. He had comprehended the Supreme Sword Dao, the fast sword law, and the thunderous attack. The entire Qing Qiu Island was suddenly in complete silence!


    After a long while, someone finally couldn''t help but be surprised. The crowd immediately erupted into bursts of gasps and gasps of astonishment. Following the fall of He Chuan, the faces of Yin Xiong and the others also instantly turned completely black!


    Zhou Jian''s lightning strike was like a resounding slap to the faces of the three sects. In the face of their blatant provocation, Zhou Jian had responded with merciless killing intent!


    Whether it was Li Yi, Ten Thousand Beast Sect, or Elder Xiao Yao, all of their faces were gloomy and were about to drip with water. Beside them, an old man looked at the fallen He Chuan, and began to cry bitterly on the ground!


    That was the only genius of the Tian Xiang Sect, and also his only son. He never thought that just because of fawning on the three sects, he would lose his son''s life!


    "Anything else?" The bright sword aura around Zhou Jian''s finger dissipated. He looked at the other two calmly. His gaze was so oppressive that it made their bodies tremble. They did not dare to look straight at him!


    "Don''t think that you can walk off this stage alive today!" The faces of Li Xiao and Yao were terrifyingly cold. A killing intent that seemed to materialize seemed to envelop Zhou Jian. The dense killing intent made even the remaining two people shiver in fright!


    "Bring it on!" Zhou Jian patted his clothes casually and said indifferently. His nonchalant attitude made everyone grind their teeth in anger once again!


    With Zhou Jian''s iron-blooded slaughter, the other two would not dare to provoke Zhou Jian anymore. However, they would not end up well in the hands of the three sects. One of them was beaten to the point of vomiting blood while the other one had lost his cultivation!


    There were only people from the four sects left on the stage. The smart ones could see that the true national war had only just begun, and that the small skirmishes just now had been a mere formality!


    "In the third round of the round-robin tournament, there will be two people who will advance. There''s one condition: from now on, the two Immortals of Xiao Yao will share a spot!"

 C60

    Boom! Xiao Li''s words instantly ignited all the spectators on both sides of the Qing Qiu Island and the Qing Qiu Lake. The two of them shared a spot, which meant that no matter who challenged the Free and Unrestrained Faction, they would have to fight two alone!


    When two middle stage geniuses joined hands, they could even take a few moves against a late stage Ice Condensation cultivator, not to mention the fact that both of them were peerless geniuses!


    The four of them looked at each other. Up until now, there were only people from the four major sects left on the stage. No matter who it was, they could no longer give their spots to Zhou Jian.


    "After these two rounds, you''ve really had it easy. I wonder, if the last step before the finals completely destroys you, and the Cloud Returning Sword Sect cannot even enter the finals, wouldn''t that feel a little better?"


    Yin Xiong crossed his arms over his chest. The four of them surrounded Zhou Jian. If they were to join hands, Zhou Jian would be prepared to be completely crushed by this battle!


    "Zhou Jian, quickly retreat! Don''t try to be brave!" Mo Wentian''s countenance changed as he shouted out repeatedly, wanting to stop Zhou Jian. He was very clear on the personality of Zhou Jian, and he knew that dangers could very easily occur!


    "Hehe, why, Sect Head Mo just doesn''t have confidence in your own disciple and has already admitted defeat? Is the Cloud Returning Sword Sect so unreliable? " Elder Yao seized the opportunity to ridicule.


    "Sigh, Elder Yao''s words are wrong. The Cloud Returning Sword Sect has long since given up on their former glory, and is also ranked within the Four Major Sects. Moreover, Zhou Jian is the only talented disciple they have, so they naturally have to take good care of him!"


    Li Yiran also said, singing along with Elder Yao. The mockery in his words was not concealed at all. Chu Lie was burning with anger and was about to go berserk, but he was stopped by Liang Ren!


    "Forget it, I can see that your Cloud Returning Sword Sect is quite pitiful. How about this, if you kneel down and admit defeat yourself, and then crawl under us, we''ll let your Cloud Returning Sword Sect go, what do you say?" Li Xiao laughed and said with her legs wide open.


    Zhou Jian''s face turned ugly. He stood in the middle of the crowd, unable to suppress his anger any longer. His eyes were bloodshot as he swept his gaze over them.


    "Cut the crap. If you have the guts, come at me! Aren''t you ashamed for only knowing how to play dirty tricks? Or do you only know how to talk, how to stab in the back? "


    A hoarse and low voice came from his throat, like a wild beast that was about to go berserk, and a fierce and violent aura spread out!


    "Hmph, you are giving me face but not taking it. Let me deal with you!" Yin Xiong and the others looked at each other and coldly laughed. A trace of a victorious smile flashed across his eyes as he stood up and shouted.


    "Kill!" Zhou Jian roared, his strength at the early stage of condensing weapons surging crazily, transforming into a bright sword light and rushing towards Yin Xiong. His entire body was surrounded by sword qi, it was extremely sharp!


    "Come at me!" Yin Xiong gave a loud shout. The strange light behind him flickered, and streams of energy flowed through his fingertips. With a point of his finger, a complicated rune instantly appeared in the air!


    Unlike Wang Sheng, as the number one genius of the Divine Dao Sect, Yin Xiong naturally couldn''t be compared to him. Wang Sheng needed to draw runes on the spot, while Yin Xiong could use his heart to instantly turn them into runes!


    As soon as the charm characters appeared, they became more complex than Wang Shengtian''s fire and vibrational patterns, and the terrifying energy fluctuations coming from them couldn''t be compared with that of Wang Shengtian''s!


    "Water Mark!" Yin Xiong gave a soft shout, and a complex rune of water spiritual energy immediately gushed out, forming a curtain of water that covered the sky as it charged towards Zhou Jian, carrying a monstrous wave!


    In the next instant, however, it was being filled up again. Its ferocity and ferocity met with the softening of the water, just like a fist that had the strength of a thousand jin hitting cotton, it had no place to exert force!


    As the saying goes, ''water flows when drawing a blade'', so does the ''sword''. Surrounded by the water curtain, even the fastest sword light was broken. As the water ripples continued to gush with water elemental energy, the space he moved became smaller and smaller.


    "He can''t even withstand a single blow!" Yin Xiong sneered. His fingertips flashed with a fiery red light. As he continued to draw, a complicated rune more similar to Wang Sheng''s suddenly took shape beside the water mark, and a raging inferno swept out!


    Buzz! Buzz! Flames filled the air and the space around them began to emit sizzling sounds. Even the spectators in the distance felt an irresistible heat!


    The flame turned into a huge flaming dragon, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws as it charged at Zhou Jian. At this moment, he was still surrounded by a circle of water essence!


    A scorching heat attacked him, causing Zhou Jian''s pupils to constrict. Fire and water were incompatible, the extremes of things were opposite. Once water and fire mixed together, the ultimate destructive power would definitely not be something an ordinary person could withstand!


    Weng, from within the water ring, a deep and heavy Qi suddenly came out. Zhou Jian''s hands were raised high into the air. As the Spiritual Energy in his body circulated crazily, a huge broadsword appeared in his hands!


    Compared to the power he used to kill He Chuan, this power was a completely opposite of the heavy sword''s deep strength. If the swift sword was like a light breeze, then the sharp sword was like a mountain, heavy and steady!


    "Zhou Jian has actually comprehended two types of Sword Truth, and two completely opposite ones at that! Why didn''t he tell us!?" Mo Wentian exclaimed in shock.


    "This little guy is probably afraid that if we were to find out, he wouldn''t be allowed to participate in the national war!" Liang Ren shook his head with a bitter smile. If he had known that Zhou Jian had comprehended two types of sword arts, they definitely would not have put him in such danger!


    "It seems your insights into the Dao of the Sword are quite strong as well!" Xiao Feng was also surprised, but after a quick thought, he realized that Zhou Jian''s reputation as the number one talent of the Cloud Returning Sword Sect was not just for show!


    In the circle of water, Zhou Jian gripped his broadsword tightly. His originally powerful aura had been replaced by a deep power. He raised his head and looked at the circle of water. The broadsword slashed down!


    "Ground-shattering Slash!"


    A huge dark golden light, over ten feet long, appeared on the broadsword. It gave off a pressure that made one''s heart feel uncomfortable. It was like a rainbow that pierced the sun, ruthlessly chopping at the water circle!


    "Chi!" Under extreme force, the water circle was split into two. Before it could recover, Zhou Jian turned his sword and swung it horizontally. The sword aura swept out and the entire water circle was split into four!


    Boom! As the water circle split apart, the fire dragon suddenly fell down. The fiery red light made Zhou Jian''s face turn red. The high temperature had evaporated the water ring into steam and gradually fused with the fire dragon!


    "This is bad!" Zhou Jian''s expression changed as he cursed in his mind. His broadsword swept out and he quickly retreated. As the water vapour fused with him, the Fire Dragon''s interior became unstable. A berserk aura was about to erupt!

 C61

    However, just as he was about to retreat, the fire dragon suddenly exploded. Flames immediately surged and wreaked havoc all over the high platform. The formation above flickered with a sparkling light, unceasingly melting away the destructive force the high platform endured!


    Thump, thump, thump. The violent power of fire and water produced an extremely destructive force. Zhou Jian retreated and was struck hard in the chest. The clothes on his chest instantly disintegrated into nothingness!


    "Puchi!" A mouthful of blood spurted out. Blood flowed out from Zhou Jian''s chest, turning into a deep red crater. Even the white bones could be vaguely seen!


    "Mm, it smells so good. This barbecue doesn''t taste bad. I wonder what it will taste like when it is cooked!" Yin Xiong was unrelenting. He took a step forward and pointed his fingers out, causing the fiery patterns to erupt into flames once more!


    "Zhou Jian, retreat, retreat!" At this moment, even the usually calm Liang Ren''s expression changed, and he couldn''t help but shout out, his face full of anxiety!


    However, they had all overlooked Zhou Jian''s personality. The sect was in trouble, and as the eldest senior brother, he held the name of the sect''s genius. He would not back down no matter what, because once he retreated, it would mean that the Cloud Returning Sword Sect would lose.


    "Bring it on!" The pain in his body made him feel faint and dizzy. He used his broadsword to support himself up, while Zhou Jian roared with blood dripping from his mouth. His ferocious face made people shudder!


    "Sword of Mount Li!"


    Facing the roaring fire dragon, Zhou Jian''s eyes were bloodshot. His eyeballs seemed as if they were about to fall out from his eye sockets. He gripped his broadsword tightly and roared in a low voice!


    Chi! He gripped the broadsword tightly with both his hands and drew a long line in the air. The air shook and in the next instant, his right hand suddenly pulled and a resplendent light suddenly blossomed!


    After the light dissipated, everyone could see that the sword in his right hand was actually a three foot long blade that was as thin as a cicada''s wing.


    "This is ¡­ Sword in the Sword, Double Spiritual Weapon!" Mo Wentian''s pupils constricted as he cried out involuntarily. It was already extremely difficult for Zhou Jian to comprehend a dual sword dao, and he could even condense a dual spirit weapon to complement the dual sword dao!


    "Good boy. If he doesn''t die, he will definitely step into an even higher realm in the future. However ¡­" Tears streamed down Liang Ren''s face. He rubbed his eyes as he spoke with gratitude. Zhou Jian had not wasted his long journey to find the python for his antidote. It was just that the situation he was in now was not looking good!


    "Sword in the Sword, interesting!" Yin Xiong and the others were also astonished. They couldn''t help but exclaim in shock, but soon after, the murderous intent in their eyes intensified. If they allowed such a genius to grow, then the Guyun Sword Sect might reignite again!


    The Spiritual Energy in his hand was constantly intertwined as it was continuously injected into the patterns of fire. The even more violent and violent flames were constantly spewing out, burning everything as they charged out!


    Shua, shua, shua. Zhou Jian wielded the broadsword in his left hand, the sword in his right hand, and his right foot stomped on the ground. His entire body seemed to have been split into two as two completely different auras soared up from his left and right side respectively!


    "Kill!" With a loud shout, the two auras above him began to fuse and fuse together. The heavy and heavy auras combined as the broadsword once again merged together, transforming into a fierce and sharp sword light that descended from the sky!


    Huff huff huff, the heavy sword light mixed with sharpness, like a wild beast, it rushed straight towards the fire dragon, its momentum like a hot knife through butter, directly splitting the fire dragon in two!


    "What?! Impossible!" Yin Xiong''s expression changed as he exclaimed in surprise. Both of his hands quickly formed a seal as a surge of even more powerful and pure spiritual energy was poured into the flame pattern. This attack from Zhou Jian was something that even someone in the later stage of the freezing stage would have to temporarily dodge.


    "Chi!" The sword beam cut the roaring fire dragon into two. The two halves seemed to be one as if they were thin and thick, destroying everything in their path as they slashed at the flame pattern!


    Boom! The Fire Marks were originally nothing more than spirit energy, but they were instantly annihilated by the endless power and light. The Fire Marks were destroyed, and the source Fire Marks within Yin Xiong''s body were completely destroyed. He spat out a mouthful of blood!


    However, he could not be bothered with the injuries in his body, because the sword light still chopped down on his head. The destructive aura made all the hairs on his body shudder!


    "Shield Mark!" His pupils contracted as he conjured an even more complex and profound rune into the air. A dark yellow light was released from the rune in front of him, forming a spirit energy shield that protected him!


    With a rumble, the sword light landed on the shield, producing a deafening collision sound. The massive force continuously struck the shield of light, causing it to crumble, but in the end it did not shatter!


    At the same time that the sword aura disappeared, the light of the shield line dimmed. A crack that was hard to see with the naked eye appeared, and it turned into a beam of light as it charged into Yin Xiong''s body!


    The Fire Marks were directly destroyed, causing his source Fire Marks to be completely damaged. He had received an unprecedented level of damage, and with the addition of the damage to his Shield Marks, his injuries had become even more severe. Even his aura had started to become disorderly!


    However, compared to Yin Xiong, Zhou Jian''s situation was even worse. His already severely injured body had been forced to use an attack that he did not fully grasp. Now, he could only rely on the broadsword to support his body!


    "I want you dead!" Yin Xiong''s face was pale, and even his mind was starting to feel dizzy. However, as he looked at Zhou Jian who was still forcefully supporting his body, the murderous intent in his heart was thoroughly infuriated!


    "You ¡­ Ability... "Come here, come ¡­" Zhou Jian held onto his broadsword, blood gushing out from his mouth as he spoke. He pointed at Yin Xiong with a face full of blood, still unwilling to back down!


    Below the stage, Mo Wentian, Liang Ren, Chu Lie, and the others had already turned red with rage as they watched their beloved disciple fight to the death for the honor of the sect. As long as Yin Xiong dared to make a move, even if Xiao Li and his men were here, they would not hesitate to save Zhou Jian!


    In any case, everyone present was well aware of the purpose of this time''s national tournament, and it was obvious that it was aimed at the Cloud Returning Sword Sect.


    "Ignorant thing, do you really think that only offensive symbols can cultivate?" However, what responded to Zhou Jian was Yin Xiong''s twisted laughter!


    As his voice faded, a jade-green ray of light abruptly shot out from the bottom of his feet. The complicated runes emitted a dense life force as they surrounded Yin Xiong. His injuries were slowly recovering!


    "This is a healing rune!" Liang Ren''s expression changed as he clenched his fists even tighter. It looked like this fight was unavoidable!


    After a moment, Yin Xiong''s rising life force came to a standstill. He had already recovered nearly a quarter of his life, and the life rune''s power was limited. But with his current strength, killing the dying Zhou Jian was more than enough!
