Chapter 399: They Come to Kill
Across from Sword Viewing Peak, the nine sword peaks had long since vanished, leaving only a dense expanse of heaven and earth energy drifting through the air. Read novels at
However, with the nine sword peaks gone, fewer people came to view the swords, yet the number of visitors to Sword Viewing Peak had actually increased.
The Yue Clan had already begun mining this discovered energy vein. They found that this energy vein was enormous, spanning dozens of miles in all directions, meaning that within a radius of several dozen li, the ground beneath was entirely filled with Origin Stones.
The base of Sword Viewing Peak also contained some, but because this energy vein had previously been too deep, they hadn't sensed the heaven and earth energy. Now that the vein was being mined on a large scale, the entire area was saturated with heaven and earth energy, and the air itself was filled with it.
For this reason, the Yue Clan even sent people to cordon off the area for a hundred li around. After all, this was within the Nine Dragons Mountain Range, a demon beast mountain range, teeming with demon beasts. This book's first release is at
The heaven and earth energy would also attract demon beasts, so they had to seal it off completely.
However, although the Yue Clan prevented demon beasts from entering, they allowed people from the Snow Moon Kingdom to step into this area, but they had to follow the rules: they were only permitted to find a place to cultivate within this region, but they were not allowed to take any Origin Stones, not even a single low-grade Origin Stone. This was the Yue Clan's bottom line. Anyone who violated it would be killed.
The crowd also understood in their hearts that the Yue Clan did this to avoid arousing public anger and causing the people of the Snow Moon Kingdom to join forces and seize the energy vein. Allowing people to come in and cultivate was fine, as long as they didn't take the Origin Stones.
As for those martial cultivators, since they could cultivate freely here, they wouldn't be foolish enough to take Origin Stones. If caught, it meant death, which simply wasn't worth it.
At this moment, not far outside this sealed-off area, within the dense demon beast forest, some people were fighting with demon beasts.
Among this group were two women, an old man, and a young man.
The four of them were surrounding a demon beast, a ninth-level spirit demon realm demon serpent, over thirty to forty meters long, capable of spewing mist-like poisonous gas, and able to swallow a person whole with a single open mouth.
Caution was evident in the eyes of the four. A ninth-level spirit demon beast was not easy for them to deal with. Among the four, the highest cultivation was the young man, at the ninth layer of the Spirit Martial Realm, possessing very high talent.
"Feng Ting, Sister Jingyun, both of you fall back. I'll kill this demon serpent."
The young man stepped forward, facing the ninth-level spirit demon serpent alone.
"Duan Feng, let us help you. You've just broken through to the ninth layer of the Spirit Martial Realm and haven't stabilized yet. This demon serpent is also very powerful; it won't be easy to deal with."
Jingyun said with a frown. It turned out that the young man who spoke was Duan Feng. However, two years had passed, and his face now bore a more mature look, and his gaze was deeper and more resolute.
"Sister Jingyun, no need. Since Big Brother Lin isn't here, your safety is naturally my responsibility. Don't forget, I still have my martial soul that I haven't used."
A sunny smile appeared on Duan Feng's face. He wondered how Big Brother Lin Feng was doing now. Seeing his own great progress, Big Brother Lin Feng would surely be very happy.
When Jingyun heard Duan Feng mention Lin Feng, her gaze focused, and then she looked at Duan Feng, a hint of admiration in her beautiful eyes.
Back then, when she drove the carriage, carrying Duan Feng out of the small town, Jingyun had never realized that Duan Feng's talent would be so high.
As a descendant of the Imperial Duan Clan, Duan Feng now possessed four Sealing Gates. His martial soul was powerful, and his cultivation talent was extremely high. In two years, he had reached the ninth layer of the Spirit Martial Realm. Fast, too fast.
This also made Jingyun sigh inwardly. When a person grows, as long as their talent is high, their speed of growth is terrifying. Crossing one realm after another constantly shocks people.
Of course, Jingyun also understood that what Duan Feng possessed was not just talent. He cultivated too diligently, almost to the point of abusing himself. Every day, he cultivated day and night, because he regarded Lin Feng as his idol. Duan Feng always wanted to follow in Lin Feng's footsteps and not let Lin Feng get too far ahead. In fact, relying on his talent and hard work, he had achieved this, continuously crossing one realm after another. This book's first release is at
"Alright, Duan Feng, but be careful."
Jingyun reminded him, her body retreating slightly, deciding not to fight alongside Duan Feng.
Duan Feng, after all, had the bloodline of the Duan Clan flowing in his veins and had inherited the Duan Clan's bloodline martial soul, which was very powerful. Now, Duan Feng hadn't even used his martial soul yet. As long as Duan Feng summoned his martial soul, dealing with this ninth-level spirit demon beast shouldn't be a problem.
"Feng Ting." Duan Feng then spoke to the black-clothed girl on the other side. Feng Ting and the old man retreated together, leaving Duan Feng to face the spirit demon alone.
"Hiss, hiss..." The spirit demon serpent seemed to know that Duan Feng was going to face it alone, flicking its tongue at Lin Feng, and wisps of black poisonous mist drifted out.
"Wretched beast!" Duan Feng stared at the demon serpent. With a thought, sealing gates appeared behind him, a total of four gates. Compared to before, another sealing gate had awakened.
A strange look flashed in the eyes of Feng Ting and the old man beside her. Sealing Gates, this was... a martial soul of the Imperial Clan, a bloodline martial soul.
Duan Feng actually possessed four Sealing Gates.
"Seal!"
Duan Feng shouted softly. Instantly, one sealing gate after another materialized from the void, trembling in the space. Clanging sounds rang out. The head of the ninth-level spirit demon serpent was directly sealed by the sealing gates. Its massive body began to tremble wildly, as if the sealing gates were about to invade its head, entering its sea of consciousness.
"Roar..." The demon serpent roared furiously, its body shaking incessantly. But it didn't struggle for long before its struggles gradually subsided. The sealing gates entered its sea of consciousness. The ninth-level spirit demon beast was effortlessly sealed, with no power to resist at all.
"Duan Feng, I'll kill it."
Feng Ting said. Before Duan Feng could speak, her body flickered, and she directly approached the sealed spirit serpent, killed it, extracted its demon core, and then put it away.
Seeing this, Jingyun frowned. This demon serpent seemed to have been subdued by Duan Feng using his martial soul, right? Feng Ting didn't even ask for Duan Feng's opinion before taking the demon core, which didn't belong to her, for herself.
However, Duan Feng didn't say anything. He looked at Feng Ting with a gentle smile and then put away his martial soul.
"Duan Feng, let's go find other demon beasts to hunt." Feng Ting said to Duan Feng indifferently. Duan Feng nodded again, but Jingyun's frown deepened.
This woman, what did she take Duan Feng for? Her slave? Her life was saved by Duan Feng. That day, if Duan Feng hadn't intervened, she, Feng Ting, would have been violated by those family guards.
"Alright." Duan Feng had no objection at all, nodding, which left Jingyun speechless. When someone falls in love, Duan Feng's mind becomes dull. She, of course, knew that Duan Feng liked Feng Ting, and Feng Ting knew it too, so she used Duan Feng to do things for her and collect demon cores for her.
"Let's go." Feng Ting lifted her foot, ready to move to another place.
"Go? Where do you think you're going?"
A cold voice rang out from the dense forest, causing their footsteps to halt. Then, Duan Feng and the others saw figures emerging from all directions.
The eyes of these people held a hint of bestiality, cold and icy. This book's first release is at
"Who are you people?" Duan Feng stared at the other party and asked.
"You don't need to know." The other party replied coldly, a trace of killing intent released in the space.
"It seems I have no enmity with any of you, right?" Duan Feng said again.
"Blame your bad luck for knowing Lin Feng." The other party spoke coldly again, causing Duan Feng's and Jingyun's pupils to contract. So the other party was targeting Lin Feng.
"What enmity do you have with Big Brother Lin Feng?"
"Enmity?" The other party sneered coldly: "Let me tell you what enmity. Now, anyone familiar with Lin Feng, we will kill, leaving none behind. Right now, not only are you surrounded, but those few people from Heavenly One Academy will all die. By now, our experts should have already arrived at Heavenly One Academy to kill people."
Anyone familiar with Lin Feng would be killed. Then, was Meng Qing also surrounded now?
An extremely intense coldness filled the eyes of Duan Feng and Jingyun.
