Deep within the Flying Cloud Mountains, inside a cave.

Chu Feng was panting heavily, tossing handfuls of pills into his mouth, as the Heavenly Demon Sword Scripture operated frantically.

Half an hour later.

His complexion gradually became rosy, and the injuries within his body were barely suppressed.

"The Qi Transformation, Second Layer, is truly terrifying! Sect Master Feiyun is only at the Qi Transformation, Second Layer, yet he's not someone I can contend with! If not for the power of the Heaven-Defying Eight Swords, I might have already fallen!"

Chu Feng took a deep breath.

He felt a lingering fear.

The Heaven-Defying Eight Swords was the supreme sword technique he had obtained from the Demon Sword's legacy.

He didn't know its grade, but it was extraordinary. With his current cultivation, he could only execute half a move, yet even so, it was enough to unleash terrifying power!

"It's hard to imagine what it would be like when all eight swords are mastered and cultivated to perfection!"

Chu Feng whispered with anticipation.

With the Heavenly Demon Sword Scripture and the vast resources he took from the Flying Cloud Sect, his future in cultivation was destined to be limitless.

"Ye Qing! Are you enjoying my Innate Spiritual Root and Spirit Vein? When I'm strong enough, I will come to cut you down!"

He clenched his fists tightly, speaking coldly to himself.

At this moment, the Demon Sword hummed, emitting a blood-red light.

It seemed to sense Chu Feng's killing intent, and from within, a surge of murderous power flowed, trying to enter Chu Feng's body.

"Again with this murderous power!" Chu Feng was moved.

In the dungeon, when the Demon Sword awakened, it was with the help of this murderous power that his strength suddenly surged to the Eighth Layer of the Hundred Refinements.

But unfortunately.

Such power was too ferocious.

"Even if it's peerless, power that isn't your own shouldn't be used lightly!"

Chu Feng sighed softly, directly dispersing the murderous power.

The Demon Sword was extraordinary.

At the same time, it was also very difficult to truly control.

Once this murderous power entered the body, it could indeed grant great strength, but at the same time, the will to kill would severely affect oneself. Chu Feng couldn't imagine what consequences it might bring.

Therefore.

This power.

Should not be used unless at a moment of life and death!

"Hu!" Taking a deep breath, Chu Feng looked inward.

"The Heavenly Demon Sword Scripture is indeed extraordinary. In just half an hour, with the help of pills, it has completely healed my injuries! This is definitely a divine scripture of swordsmanship!"

He couldn't help but exclaim.

As the sword scripture operated, sword energy flowed within him, becoming increasingly robust, and the power of the pills left no residue in his body.

It could actually be completely refined!

However.

Despite refining a large number of pills, his cultivation only improved slightly!

The Heavenly Demon Sword Scripture was unique; the more it grew, the more terrifying the accumulation required.

It might even be several times that of ordinary techniques!

"The urgent task is to strengthen myself!"

After a brief contemplation, Chu Feng made a decision.

He scanned through the storage rings on his hands, searching for suitable martial techniques.

The Heaven-Defying Eight Swords was indeed powerful, but with his current cultivation, executing even half a sword move was very strenuous! So he needed other martial techniques to compensate for his shortcomings.

"Dragon-Elephant Fist! Eight-Step Collapsing Palm!"

Suddenly, Chu Feng's gaze shifted to two martial techniques.

These two martial techniques were both top-grade Grade One!

They were the most powerful among the Grade One martial techniques of the Flying Cloud Sect.

"These will do!" Chu Feng took out the two martial techniques to study.

"Move like a dragon-elephant, shaking the nine heavens! Palm moves across the eight directions, eight steps collapsing the sky!"

His eyes lit up.

These two martial techniques were very profound. In the past, even as the senior disciple of the Flying Cloud Sect, he wasn't qualified to practice them, but now, he could easily train in them.

"Dragon-Elephant Fist!"

Chu Feng stood up, practicing the fist technique in the cave.

The fist imprints shook, with the power of the Sixth Layer of the Hundred Refinements contained within them.

Boom boom boom!

Faintly, it seemed as if the sounds of dragons and elephants erupted.

This was the characteristic of the Dragon-Elephant Fist, moving like a dragon-elephant. It was said that when cultivated to perfection, the true qi would resonate, creating the phenomenon of a dragon-elephant suppressing the nine heavens!

Bang bang bang!

The cave rumbled, and after regaining his cultivation, Chu Feng practiced with abandon for the first time. In just half an hour, he had exhausted all his strength.

"Unexpectedly, the Heavenly Demon Sword Scripture not only consolidates an extraordinary physique but also enhances aptitude!"

Chu Feng murmured in shock.

Having lost his Innate Spiritual Root and extracted his Spirit Vein, yet due to the Heavenly Demon Sword Scripture, his aptitude not only didn't decrease but actually improved.

He had preliminarily mastered the Dragon-Elephant Fist and Eight-Step Collapsing Palm in just two hours!

"With the resources of the Lu family and the Flying Cloud Sect, I can't stay in the mountains for long! I need to leave quickly!"

Having mastered the two martial techniques, Chu Feng nodded in satisfaction.

Then, he furrowed his brows slightly, stood up, and left the cave.

The Flying Cloud Mountains were vast, and he needed to traverse them to enter the territory of Canglang Royal City.

Canglang Royal City was located at the edge of the Azure Region, but it covered a vast area, encompassing the entire Flying Cloud Mountains and dozens of ancient cities, including Canglang City, all within the royal city's domain!

And the Destiny Academy, which Lu Fei had joined, was within Canglang Royal City.

To cultivate rapidly, Chu Feng had to join the Destiny Academy, reputed as the sacred place within the Canglang Realm!

***

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Leaving the cave, Chu Feng plunged into the forest.

He didn't know how long he traveled.

Chu Feng's senses tingled; having reached the Sixth Layer of the Hundred Refinements and practicing the Heavenly Demon Sword Scripture, his perception had become very strong.

"Someone's here!" He flickered, hiding atop an ancient tree.

At this moment, from not far away, a dozen horses galloped swiftly.

Dust filled the air.

Leading the charge on horseback were Sect Master Feiyun and Lu Fei, followed by a dozen experts from both families.

Chu Feng's pupils contracted slightly at the sight.

Because at the back of this group, a rough chain was dragging a disheveled young girl, forcing her to run at full speed.

The young girl's face was completely smeared, her clothes were in tatters, and she frequently fell to the ground, her body scraping against the earth, leaving her bloodied!

"Xiao Qian!" Chu Feng gritted his teeth, recognizing the young girl.

It was his maid, Xiao Qian.

At this moment, the group suddenly halted.

"That little bastard shouldn't have gotten far!

He took a hit from Father-in-law; if he's not dead, he's seriously injured. Now that we have this little wench, he'll definitely show himself!"

Lu Fei spoke confidently.

He sat on his horse, his gaze sinister.

Being defeated by Chu Feng was the greatest humiliation in his heart.

He must have Chu Feng pay with his life to wash it away!

"Hmph! This time, if he shows up, I will kill him!" Sect Master Feiyun said darkly.

At this moment, several experts from the Lu family approached, speaking loudly, "Young Master, this little wench is only to lure out that little bastard Chu Feng, right? She shouldn't have any other use, should she?"

They asked in unison, grinning maliciously.

"Yes!" Lu Fei nodded.

"Then let us brothers have some fun with her... there shouldn't be a problem, right?"

The group laughed wickedly.

"Since it's to lure out that little bastard, we should humiliate her to the extreme!"

"With so many of us, if we all enjoy this little wench together, Chu Feng will definitely be unable to resist showing up!"

An expert from the Lu family sneered coldly.

He looked at Xiao Qian with lecherous eyes.

At this moment, Xiao Qian's clothes were torn, revealing much of her body. Although she was young, she was beginning to develop, and with her pure and lovely appearance, her weakness made her seem even more pitiable.

Those present could hardly restrain themselves.

"Alright!" Lu Fei grinned hideously, "Consider it a reward from me, as long as she doesn't die!"
