Chapter 143: Battling a Yuan Martial Realm Expert Head-On! (2/2)
“What is this?”
After Sun Hai pointed out the direction, Qin Feng pointed to the energy-filled stones and pills he had taken from Sun Hai and asked, “What are these?”
“Essence stones. They can be used for cultivation, restoring true qi, and healing injuries.”
“These thirteen pills are healing pills.”
Sun Hai’s confusion deepened, but when he met Qin Feng’s cold eyes, he did not dare ask anything. He answered quickly.
“How do I absorb them?”
Qin Feng toyed with an essence stone and asked in a deep voice.
“Once your cultivation breaks through to the Qi Martial Realm, you can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Naturally, you can absorb the spiritual energy within essence stones as well.”
“No wonder I couldn’t absorb it.”
Qin Feng nodded in understanding and murmured softly.
“Get away from me!”
Seeing Qin Feng digesting the information he had obtained and no longer paying attention to him, Sun Hai suddenly struck. He drove a fist toward Qin Feng’s heart.
He had to resist. He did not believe Qin Feng would let him go. Resistance was his only chance of survival.
“You’re courting death!”
Qin Feng reacted instantly. He raised one hand and seized Sun Hai’s incoming fist, gripping it firmly.
“Boom!”
Qin Feng exerted force with his arm. The power of one hundred and fifty Soaring Serpents erupted, instantly shattering Sun Hai’s arm.
Then he drove his foot forward with tremendous force. The violent impact struck Sun Hai’s dantian and shattered it completely.
“Pfft!”
Blood sprayed from Sun Hai’s mouth.
Despair appeared across his face. With his dantian crippled, he had lost seventy to eighty percent of his combat power and no longer possessed the strength to resist.
“I truly intended to let you go.”
Qin Feng looked at Sun Hai with regret and slowly shook his head. Then he punched him in the chest, shattering his internal organs and killing him outright.
Whoosh!
Qin Feng placed the items he had taken into his storage ring, chose a direction, and hurried toward the center of Blackmoon Forest.
When Qin Feng reached the center of Blackmoon Forest, he found that it matched Sun Hai’s description. There stood a mountain—and not just any mountain, but a volcano. Only a volcano could provide a suitable environment for Scarletflame Fruits to grow.
“How hot!”
Though Qin Feng had covered his entire body in astral energy, he could still feel the scorching heat. Standing at the volcano’s crater, he peered down inside.
“Scarletflame Fruits!”
Qin Feng saw the scene below. In various places within the volcano grew more than a dozen Scarletflame Fruit trees. Each tree bore one or two fruits, for a total of twenty-five Scarletflame Fruits.
An immense delight filled Qin Feng’s heart. With twenty-five Scarletflame Fruits, he would need only a third—or even a quarter—to have a strong chance of breaking through to the Qi Martial Realm.
Qin Feng drew a deep breath. Gripping his Sky-Piercing Halberd, he plunged rapidly into the crater.
His body became a blur, swift as lightning. In an instant, he reached a Scarletflame Fruit tree and picked its fruit.
Whoosh!
Qin Feng stored the Scarletflame Fruit in his storage ring, then cautiously flew toward another tree.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Qin Feng darted through the volcano, picking the Scarletflame Fruits one after another. In less than ten minutes, he had gathered ten.
Whoosh!
Just as Qin Feng charged toward another Scarletflame Fruit tree, a martial cultivator suddenly descended from above.
“An Imperial-level martial cultivator?”
“You’re not a disciple of the Sacred Moon Sect.”
“Tell me, who are you?”
“And hand over the Scarletflame Fruits you’ve picked.”
Leng Yunfeng was among the top one hundred outer disciples of the Sacred Moon Sect, and his cultivation had reached the early Yuan Martial Realm.
Following the orders of the foremost outer disciple of the Sacred Moon Sect, he had entered the center of Blackmoon Forest ahead of the others to gather Scarletflame Fruits.
Yet upon arriving, he had seen an Imperial-level martial cultivator picking the fruits—and had already gathered nearly half of them.
A powerful aura radiated from Leng Yunfeng, accompanied by faint traces of killing intent. He spoke coldly.
“Leave!”
Sensing Leng Yunfeng’s aura, Qin Feng knew that this martial cultivator had surpassed the Qi Martial Realm and was at least two major cultivation stages stronger than himself.
Without the slightest hesitation, Qin Feng shot upward, rushing toward the top of the volcano and choosing to retreat immediately.
“Where do you think you’re going?”
Seeing Qin Feng attempt to flee, Leng Yunfeng roared and burst forward, moving to intercept him.
Leng Yunfeng positioned himself above Qin Feng, occupying the advantageous terrain. As Qin Feng charged upward, he collided directly with Leng Yunfeng’s attack.
“Divine Art: Great Sun Sacred War Technique!”
Faced with a martial cultivator who had surpassed the Qi Martial Realm, Qin Feng dared not be careless. He unleashed his full combat power, and a resplendent image of a great sun rose behind him.
“Break!”
The one hundred and fifty Soaring Serpent powers within Qin Feng’s body were amplified to three hundred. He poured them all into his Sky-Piercing Halberd and slammed it toward Leng Yunfeng.
“What?”
Leng Yunfeng’s pupils contracted sharply.
The aura emanating from his opponent clearly belonged to an Imperial-level martial cultivator. How, then, could he unleash the power of the Yuan Martial Realm?
The halberd strike carried a faint threat.
“A prodigy!”
“Could he be an unparalleled prodigy?”
A possibility occurred to Leng Yunfeng, and his mind shook violently.
Since ancient times, there had been unparalleled prodigies capable of crossing realms to fight.
“So what if you are an unparalleled prodigy? In the end, you are still only an Imperial-level martial cultivator!”
“Hahahaha!”
“I never imagined I would have the honor of killing an unparalleled prodigy.”
Leng Yunfeng was a veteran of countless battles with an unwavering will. He quickly regained his composure, and a dense killing intent erupted from his body.
“Die!”
Leng Yunfeng’s back trembled, and a long saber appeared in his hand. He swung it horizontally at the incoming Sky-Piercing Halberd.
Even if you are an unparalleled prodigy capable of crossing realms to fight, your cultivation is ultimately only at the Imperial level.
I refuse to believe you can withstand my full-powered strike—four hundred and fifty Soaring Serpent powers!
“Boom!”
Qin Feng’s Sky-Piercing Halberd collided with Leng Yunfeng’s saber. He felt a massive force surge toward him like wave after wave.
“Ah!”
Qin Feng let out a furious roar as blood flowed from his mouth. The flesh on his arms was repeatedly torn apart by the overwhelming force.
Yet his hands remained clamped tightly around the Sky-Piercing Halberd as he resisted Leng Yunfeng’s attack.
“Boom!”
Qin Feng was blasted backward by Leng Yunfeng’s strength, but he did not lose his grip on the halberd. Without the slightest hesitation, he shot into the sky and flew out of the volcano.
“Don’t run!”
Fury filled Leng Yunfeng’s face. He was a mighty Yuan Martial expert, yet he had failed to subdue an Imperial-level martial cultivator. It was simply inconceivable.
He rushed into the volcano and, seeing Qin Feng’s fleeing figure, immediately gave chase.
“No!”
“I still have to gather the Scarletflame Fruits.”
“Otherwise, I won’t be able to answer to Senior Brother Ling.”
Leng Yunfeng stopped. Watching Qin Feng’s figure grow more distant, he stamped his foot in frustration, turned around, and flew back into the volcano.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
After Leng Yunfeng returned to the volcano, a large number of figures flew over from the distance two or three minutes later, plunging into the volcano one after another.
