Chapter 216: Eagle Fighting a True Dragon
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
"Hammer!"
Li Rong's smooth and tender skin was once again stained with blood.
Zhou Feng looked at Li Rong.
Her black hair was tied up, revealing her swan-like neck.
She was wearing light and short battle armor, exposing large areas of her fair and tender skin.
If she had not been stained with that bright red blood, she would have looked like a goddess of pure desire.
Li Rong had a pure temperament with a hint of mature temptation, resembling a blooming flower.
However, the little bit of bright red blood on her face, coupled with her fair and tender skin, made Li Rong look like a madwoman who had escaped from a mental hospital, the kind that made people shiver all over.
"Very good! You have already adapted!"
Zhou Feng couldn't help but reveal a smile due to Li Rong's progress.
Li Rong finally overcame the fear in her heart in the process of continuously hunting demonic beasts.
She completely displayed the strength that she should have.
And Zhou Feng had once again witnessed the foundation of a large clan.
After overcoming the fear in her heart, the strength that Li Rong displayed was completely unlike that of an ordinary Soul Altar cultivator.
Not only was her spiritual power pure, but she also had vast reserves, far surpassing those of Zhou Feng when he was in the Soul Altar realm.
It was also unknown what kind of cultivation technique Li Rong cultivated. She was actually able to temper her spiritual power to such an extent.
If Zhou Feng did not have his passive skills, he felt that Li Rong could crush him if he was still a Soul Altar cultivator.
There was also that small jade hammer, which seemed to be tailor-made for Li Rong's needs.
It was extremely compatible with Li Rong's spiritual power, and every hammer strike had a suppressive effect.
Once the hammer struck those demonic beasts, they would become stiff.
Then, there were all kinds of spiritual artifacts she carried. Even the hairpin on Li Rong's head was a spiritual artifact.
'As expected of a large clan with a Spirit Stone mine.'
Zhou Feng felt that the medicinal pills he had taken out to treat his injuries were really a little shabby.
The medicinal pills Li Rong had taken out were countless times better than his.
After putting away the little jade hammer, Li Rong ran to his side, revealing a brilliant smile. "Big Brother Zhou! I feel like I've reached a bottleneck!"
"Bottleneck? Are you about to break through to the Purple Mansion realm?"
Zhou Feng didn't know what to say at this moment.
'Didn't they say that her aptitude wasn't very good? She's about to break through to the Purple Mansion realm so quickly!?'
"Right! I don't know what's going on either!"
Li Rong was exhilarated. She no longer felt so empty and bored.
Li Rong had found a goal, and that was to become stronger!
Who would have thought that fighting would be such a joyful thing?
"I was really stupid before, wasting my time there every day! Fortunately, I met Big Brother Zhou!"
Li Rong's eyes were now filled with Zhou Feng's image.
"Then what should I do next?"
Originally, Zhou Feng's greatest goal in entering the mystic realm had been to break through to the Purple Mansion realm.
Since his goal had been accomplished, he focused on tempering Li Rong.
Now, this goal was almost complete.
What should he do now? Explore the entire Heavenly Star Mystic Realm?
Zhou Feng wasn't interested in this because there weren't many good things in this mystic realm.
As for spirit herbs and the like, he only picked some on his way and didn't collect them frantically.
After all, he was only a part-time Pill Master, and his main focus was still cultivation.
Speaking of this, Zhou Feng felt that what he needed was to find the next volume of the Human Emperor Scripture.
The Human Emperor Scripture in his hands could only be cultivated to the 9th Level of the Purple Mans
Mansion realm, and it didn't have any offensive techniques. It purely described how to raise one's cultivation level and temper their body.
Zhou Feng felt that he could still learn some dao arts or offensive techniques.
For example, dao arts that could be used to run and chase people. Li Rong had a technique called the Shadowless Steps, which allowed her to move swiftly.
Moreover, she wouldn't even leave a shadow behind. If Zhou Feng's senses weren't sharp enough, it would be very difficult for him to catch Li Rong's movements.
Next was her attack technique. Li Rong had a secret technique passed down in her clan that could instantly increase her spiritual power.
These kinds of methods made Zhou Feng a little envious.
"Oh right! If you become the winner of the Heavenly Star Mystic Realm this time, what will the reward be?"
"Reward? The probability is that you will enter the City Lord's treasury to choose an item!"
Li Rong was somewhat uncertain.
The winner of the Heavenly Star Mystic Realm's experiential training would receive a slightly different reward every time.
However, what was certain was that the winner would be able to enter the City Lord's treasury to pick an item.
The treasury contained a collection of good items, and each City Lord of Heavenly Star City had contributed to it. Therefore, this reward could be considered extremely generous.
'Entering the City Lord's treasury to pick an item? I wonder if there's a volume of the Human Emperor Scripture in there…'
Zhou Feng pondered for a moment and felt that he could fight for it.
'Wait! Is that thing in front of me the Heavenly Star?'
While he was thinking, the sky in front of him suddenly burst with bright starlight.
The Heavenly Star!
This was a spiritual artifact the City Lord had placed in the mystic realm. As long as someone could hold the Heavenly Star, they would persist to become the winner of this experiential training until the mystic realm closed.
Previously, Zhou Feng had also paid attention to the position of the Heavenly Star a few times.
This was because the Heavenly Star would emit light every once in a while, attracting other people from the mystic realm to fight for it.
But this time, it was actually so close. It was basically right in front of him.
"It seems to be the Heavenly Star! Should we go and snatch it?"
After seeing the Heavenly Star, Li Rong suddenly revealed an excited expression.
Surprisingly, she felt an urge to go and snatch it. If it had been before, Li Rong wouldn't have said such a thing.
"Since it's already been delivered right in front of us, it'd be such a pity if we didn't try."
Zhou Feng was completely focused as he stared ahead. He could sense three auras in front of them.
All of them were at the Purple Mansion realm. Apart from that, there were also the auras of several spirit beasts? Those people all had Purple Mansion spirit beasts?
If that was the case, then this meant that he and Li Rong would have to face six Purple Mansion cultivators.
And the only one who truly had combat power was Zhou Feng himself. After all, Li Rong was only in the Soul Altar realm.
Snatching the Heavenly Star from the hands of six Purple Mansion cultivators?
"This seems to be a bit difficult…"
A hint of excitement appeared on Zhou Feng's face. He hadn't had enough of the fight with the Demonic Ghost Brothers.
Six Purple Mansion experts! He didn't know if they could test out his limits.
…
"The Heavenly Star is shining again! What about the Young Master?"
"It's fine! We just defeated a group of people. They shouldn't have come so quickly!"
"That's right! We just need to hold on for two more days! The mystic realm is about to close!"
Bai Wuyi looked at the floating Heavenly Star, and a relaxed expression appeared on his face.
As long as he could hold on for a little longer, he would be the winner!
'Human Emperor Ring! I'm coming!'
Bai Wuyi was a little excited when he thought about how he would be able to obtain t obtain the Human Emperor's legendary ring.
Just as Bai Wuyi let down his guard slightly, a powerful aura descended and a figure rushed out from the front.
This person's target was the Heavenly Star in the sky!
"Who is it!?"
This sudden change made Bai Wuyi forcefully take back the Heavenly Star.
Then, he manifested his phenomenon, and an avatar of a huge eagle fighting a true dragon appeared.
Other than Bai Wuyi, his two companions also erupted with terrifying auras at the same time.
The momentum of three people instantly linked together..
Chapter 217: What Kind of Insight Is This?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Bai Wuyi wasn't an ordinary Purple Mansion cultivator.
He was a Purple Mansion cultivator who could manifest a phenomenon. A phenomenon could be said to be a standard for determining whether a Purple Mansion cultivator was strong or not.
This was because the so-called phenomenon could be said to be the soul, innate divine ability, and the depth of understanding of the laws of heaven and earth.
Only those with sufficiently strong innate divine abilities, tough souls, and some understanding of the operation of the laws of heaven and earth could manifest a phenomenon.
Bai Wuyi's phenomenon was a giant eagle fighting a dragon.
An enormous eagle used a true dragon as its food and toyed with it.
The pair of wings covered the sky.
Although it was just an illusive avatar, it radiated a strong power.
The terrifying predator was slowly approaching like a chariot.
"So strong!"
Zhou Feng felt the pressure that he had not felt for a long time, and his spirit was jolted.
This opponent was enough to test his current strength.
Zhou Feng's golden flame instantly exploded, and the Blood Qi that was like a sea wave rose like smoke, forcefully pushing Bai Wuyi's strange phenomenon away a little.
"Wait for me!"
When Zhou Feng entered battle mode, Li Rong rushed over from behind. She was quite used to his style.
He did what he said and didn't hesitate at all. In any case, as long as Zhou Feng was certain, he would immediately take action.
As for the consequences of doing so, he wouldn't consider them at all.
Because before doing so, Zhou Feng had already considered what consequences he would have to bear.
"The noble daughter of the Li Clan! Then this person…"
"Purple Mansion realm! He has already broken through? He broke through in the mystic realm?"
"You want to snatch the Heavenly Star as well?"
As soon as Li Rong appeared, Bai Wuyi and the others all recognized her.
After all, Li Rong had the Li Clan backing her, so naturally, many people paid attention to her.
The most important thing was that they should give face to this sort of person. Otherwise, it would be bad if the flood washed over the Dragon King Temple.
According to the information Bai Wuyi had received, the noble daughter of the Li Clan had contracted some sort of illness and unexpectedly wanted to enter the mystic realm suddenly. She had even given a spot to a vagabond cultivator—the same vagabond cultivator who had rejected the Li Clan.
Zhou Feng did not know that Li Rong's action was extremely risky.
Not everyone had to follow a clan's arrangements. After all, all the large clans that did so had disappeared.
A long time ago, there was once a large clan that had gone through many generations to break up a pair of lovebirds, looking down on a vagabond cultivator.
In the end, the vagabond cultivator had a fortuitous encounter, and his cultivation reached the heavens. After that, this large clan disappeared.
After such a long period of trial and error, large clans like the Li Clan actually had many rules.
So these rules were all for the better continuation of the clan, and for the clan to grow.
One of the rules was that all direct descendants had a chance to make a choice in life.
They could only choose once. If their choice failed, they would have no excuse to go against the clan, and the choice was also conditional.
That was the case for Li Rong's marriage. She had no way to refuse because this was the reward that Li Rong had to give to the clan.
After all, Li Rong had enjoyed all kinds of benefits from her clan since she was young.
However, she could choose the target of the marriage proposal.
Originally, this rule was already dead in name only. After all, after such a long time, a large clan like the Li Clan would slowly become conservative.
However, Li Rong had dug out this rule recently.
There was also the support of the Divine Ability Li Manya. In the end, the Li Clan allowed Li Rong to mess around.
Otherwise, it would be almost impossible for an outsider like Zhou Feng to enter the mystic realm.
After all, the Heavenly Star Mystic Realm was the most important resource controlled by the four families and the City Lord.
Bai Wuyi went through the information about Li Rong in his mind. He frowned slightly before ignoring Zhou Feng and speaking to Li Rong. "The eldest daughter of the Li Clan! What do you mean by this? Do you want to compete with our Bai Clan?"
In Bai Wuyi's opinion, Zhou Feng was not a person who could make decisions. A mere vagrant cultivator who lived off his master was not worthy of talking to him.
Bai Wuyi's temperament vividly displayed a large clan's pride.
"I…"
Li Rong did not know how to respond to Bai Wuyi's question.
The one in charge of everything now was not her but Zhou Feng.
"Attack!"
Zhou Feng spoke without waiting for Bai Wuyi and Li Rong to finish their conversation.
The Blood Qi around his body rose and rushed toward Bai Wuyi.
"Impudent! A mere vagabond cultivator dares to be so arrogant!?"
Bai Wuyi was still waiting for Li Rong's response, yet Zhou Feng dared to attack him.
This was a conversation between the successors of the Bai Clan and Li Clan. There was no room for a mere vagabond cultivator to interrupt them.
Without even needing the help of the other two people, the strange phenomenon behind Bai Wuyi instantly changed.
A huge claw descended from the sky. It was as if its ferocious aura wanted to take Zhou Feng's life.
Zhou Feng only retaliated with a punch when facing this huge claw.
"Boom!"
A huge explosion erupted, and the airwaves that spread out exploded in all directions.
Zhou Feng felt as if his body was a piece of metal that was smashed by a sledgehammer.
His entire body trembled violently, but there were no wounds on his body.
'Is this the so-called phenomenon? How can I obtain this power?'
Zhou Feng felt the terror of the phenomenon.
"He withstood it!?"
Bai Wuyi had thought that this attack would teach Zhou Feng a good lesson.
Given his strength, if he used the phenomenon, Zhou Feng, who had just broken through to the Purple Mansion realm, wouldn't be able to withstand it for even half a second.
Of course, in order to give face to the Li Clan, Bai Wuyi had still held back a bit.
If he beat Zhou Feng to death on the spot, Li Rong wouldn't be able to save face.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Feng had blocked this attack and looked like it had not affected him.
"Young Master, this person is a bit strange! I heard that he could kill someone in the Purple Mansion realm when he was still a Soul Altar cultivator."
"We absolutely cannot look down on him now that he has broken through to the Purple Mansion realm!"
Bai Wuyi was looking down on Zhou Feng, so the two servants next to him immediately reminded him.
They knew that their Young Master treated the disciples of large clans with respect and didn't even spare a glance at vagabond cultivators.
From the way he spoke earlier, it could be seen that Bai Wuyi couldn't even bother to talk to Zhou Feng.
Instead, he directly spoke to Li Rong, who was behind him.
"Interesting! You don't have to attack! Let my little falcon play with this person!"
Bai Wuyi adjusted his state of mind and restrained his aura.
To him, preserving the Heavenly Star in his hand was the best outcome. He didn't have to waste too much time and energy on this person.
He couldn't waste his energy on this piece of trash. He had to save it to deal with his real opponents.
The Bright Jade Falcon resting on his arm was more than enough to deal with this person.
Although Zhou Feng had successfully withstood a simple attack from Bai Wuyi, the latter still looked down on Zhou Feng from the bottom of his heart.
"I didn't expect the noble daughter of the Li Clan to take a fancy to this kind of trash. It's really a disgrace to our four great clans!
"Is it because he's a little handsome?"
Bai Wuyi despised Li Rong in his heart.. What kind of judgment was this?
Chapter 218: Killing Is Killing!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Bai Wuyi was backed by the Bai Clan, one of the four great families in Heavenly Star City. They were famous for selling spirit beasts.
It could be said bluntly that the Bai Clan was involved in all the spirit beast transactions near Heavenly Star City.
Not only did the Bai Clan have the method to cultivate spirit beasts, but they also had a secret technique to tame spirit beasts.
When the members of the Bai Clan went out, they would bring a spirit beast to help themselves.
As for direct descendants like Bai Wuyi, they would also have a life-bound spirit beast.
They would raise it from a young age, and then grow together, becoming the most important companion on the path of cultivation.
The little falcon that Bai Wuyi was talking about was the falcon resting on his arm.
This falcon was a Bright Jade Falcon, an ancient mutant species. When it matured, it would grow to the 9th Level of the Purple Mansion realm.
The most obvious characteristic of this falcon was its pair of sharp jade claws. They looked like Jade, but in reality, they were incomparably sharp.
Cutting through gold and breaking jade wasn't a problem. Who knew how many people had died at the hands of this pair of sharp jade claws.
"Little Radiance! Go play!"
Bai Wuyi retracted his aura and slightly raised his arm.
In an instant, the Bright Jade Falcon turned into an afterimage.
"A Purple Mansion spirit beast?"
Zhou Feng immediately sensed the aura of the Bright Jade Falcon.
The Bright Jade Falcon left countless afterimages in the air as it flew at breakneck speed.
If one's reaction wasn't fast enough, then the Bright Jade Falcon would play them to their deaths.
There was once a vagabond cultivator who had made a breakthrough to the Purple Mansion realm with great difficulty but encountered Bai Wuyi's spirit beast.
In the end, he was slowly clawed to death. When he was about to die, countless scratches were left on the vagabond cultivator's body.
That miserable appearance had caused countless people to feel a chill down their spines.
If this Bright Jade Falcon was used against others, it would indeed be very useful.
It was small and swift. If ordinary cultivators didn't have any special techniques, it would be challenging to block this Bright Jade Falcon's attack.
Zhou Feng, however, found it effortless to deal with this Bright Jade Falcon.
Zhou Feng's perception was abnormal due to the passive Master Hunter. He hadn't paid much attention to it before, so he was dumbfounded when he discovered he had already stacked 60 hunting marks.
He didn't know when he had killed so many different lifeforms.
Given his current perception, even if a spiritual artifact interfered with his perception, Zhou Feng could faintly sense it. Simultaneously, this effect was boosted by his Battle Instinct.
His body was faster than his brain, and he could react swiftly.
Combining the passive Master Hunter and Battle Instincts, Zhou Feng was the least afraid of a fast spirit beast like the Bright Jade Falcon.
After circling for a while, Bright Jade Falcon seized the opportunity and dove to attack Zhou Feng's back.
'It's coming!'
Zhou Feng's entire body jumped.
His body helped him make the choice, and he leaned to the side.
He predicted the Bright Jade Falcon's trajectory.
In the next instant, the jade-like sharp claws pierced toward Zhou Feng's chest.
Zhou Feng's body, which he had felt was indestructible, was slashed open.
The Bright Jade Falcon's claws were too sharp and sliced Zhou Feng's powerful body in an instant.
"Caught you!'
Zhou Feng's lips curled up slightly, revealing a sinister smile.
From the perspective of others, the Bright Jade Falcon seemed to have pounced into Zhou Feng's embrace.
Bai Wuyi, who had originally wanted to see how his little falcon would toy with Zhou Feng, exclaimed, "Impossible! This is impossible!"
How was this possible!
How could his Bright Jade Falcon be caught!?
The Bright Jade Falcon in Zhou Feng's arms let out a miserable screech. That screech could be described as one of terror.
This was because Zhou Feng had broken its wings.
The strength that this Bright Jade Falcon unleashed when it resisted was terrifying, and it almost broke free in that instant.
"Divine Eagle split the sky!"
Bai Wuyi was anxious! A strange phenomenon appeared behind him, and he immediately rushed toward Zhou Feng.
The Bright Jade Falcon had grown up with him since young, and it could even be described as a companion spirit beast.
Now that its wings were broken, Bai Wuyi could only feel blood dripping from his heart.
At the same time, he was regretful. He had underestimated this person, causing the little falcon to suffer such pain.
"I will break your four limbs! No! It's five limbs! Then, I will put them into the medicine jar and make you beg for death!"
2
At that moment, the clear and bright sky appeared to have been cut open by someone.
A sharp aura descended onto the ground. Three rays of light flashed past, leaving behind only a faint white trail.
Zhou Feng's body was immediately cut open, and three huge wounds appeared. A large amount of blood oozed out of his wounds while his entire body was sent flying until he crashed into a small hill.
"Ah! Big Brother Zhou!" Li Rong screamed when she saw this tragic scene.
However, before Li Rong could do anything, Bai Wuyi flew toward the small hill that Zhou Feng had crashed into.
"Let go of Little Radiance!"
Bai Wuyi's expression was grave as Zhou Feng had not let go of the Bright Jade Falcon.
"It really hurts!"
Zhou Feng's Blood Qi was being consumed as the three wounds started to heal.
Zhou Feng had just burned a small amount of Human Emperor Blood, and his body exuded a golden light.
After burning his Human Emperor Blood, the Bright Jade Falcon in his deadly embrace had no chance to resist at all.
He grabbed its neck and fiercely twisted it!
Although the Bright Jade Falcon could grow to the 9th Level of the Purple Mansion realm when it reached adulthood, it was still too weak right now.
Zhou Feng seized the opportunity and twisted the Bright Jade Falcon's neck in an instant.
"You're courting death! You're courting death! Ah!"
Sensing the aura of the Bright Jade Falcon gradually disappearing, Bai Wuyi fell into a state of madness.
Originally, Bai Wuyi didn't participate in their battle because he was a little cautious.
Once Zhou Feng threatened him with the Bright Jade Falcon in his hand, he really did not know what to do.
However, who would have thought that this madman Zhou Feng would kill the Bright Jade Falcon without saying a word?
He did not cherish such an excellent opportunity to threaten Bai Wuyi!
Now that the Bright Jade Falcon was no longer a threat, Bai Wuyi did not have any reservations.
"Again!"
Zhou Feng casually threw the Bright Jade Falcon away, and the aura around him grew more and more terrifying.
1
The injuries he had just sustained were now completely healed.
To him, the Bright Jade Falcon was a huge threat.
If he did not take advantage of this opportunity to eliminate this threat, the Bright Jade Falcon would cooperate with Bai Wuyi later.
Not to mention that the Bright Jade Falcon didn't have any intention of holding back earlier. It looked as if it wanted to dig out his heart on the spot.
If it wasn't for the fact that his physical body was strong enough, he probably wouldn't have been able to withstand the Bright Jade Falcon's claws.
Therefore, in Zhou Feng's eyes, he only took care of one enemy. There was nothing wrong with that.
1
As for using the Bright Jade Falcon to threaten Bai Wuyi, Zhou Feng hadn't thought about this at all.
