Chapter 146: Chapter 146: Movement from All Directions!

A flicker, and seven days had passed.

Ling Feng went up the mountain to practice swordsmanship every day, leaving early and returning late.

To concentrate on his cultivation, Ling Feng had Su Hongxiu leave temporarily to care for Lo Jianying and to prepare the Eight Treasures Jade Treasure Ointment.

On this day, Ling Feng did not go up the mountain to practice his sword, but instead came to the stone chamber where Duanmu Qingshan was in secluded cultivation, quietly waiting.

He had already sensed a powerful aura, slowly emanating from deep within Little Bamboo Peak.

Old Bastard Duanmu, who had been in secluded cultivation for a long time, had finally made a breakthrough!

"Buzz buzz!"

The earth emitted a muffled rumbling, startling birds from their nests, clouds surged, and the mountain streams even stopped flowing momentarily.

Zi Feng clung tightly to Ling Feng’s clothes, exclaiming, "Wow, is that an earthquake, Master?"

Ling Feng gave no answer, simply standing outside the stone chamber, bowing respectfully and declaring, "Congratulations to Master for emerging from seclusion!"

"Crack crack crack!"

At that moment, the tightly shut stone chamber finally opened, and a tall figure emerged, standing as straight as a long spear, his eyes sharp and imposing.

Those eyes, bright and full of life, were the mark of someone whose spirit had reached the peak.

Clearly, this once strongest member of the Wenxian Sect had fully "awakened," with his strength climbing to even greater heights.

"Master!" Ling Feng approached, his eyes revealing a hint of joy.

"The moment has finally arrived!"

Duanmu Qingshan patted Ling Feng on the shoulder and laughed heartily, "Good disciple, it is thanks to you that your teacher has reached this day!"

With his strength restored, Duanmu Qingshan’s voice was full of supreme confidence.

He finally had the power to break through the seal, escape Little Bamboo Peak, and exact his revenge on his enemies!

"Xiao Feng, in less than a month, have you actually broken through to the Magnetic Condensation Realm?"

Duanmu Qingshan scrutinized Ling Feng, a flash of surprise in his eyes. However, thinking of Ling Feng’s demonic comprehension, he quickly came to terms with it.

"Fortunate breakthrough," Ling Feng replied with a modest smile, as humble as ever.

"So, you’re my master’s teacher, huh? Not as strong as that Old Man Wen though?"

Zi Feng hopped onto Ling Feng’s shoulder, eyeing Duanmu Qingshan with a bit of a mutter.

"Hmm?" Duanmu Qingshan did not mind Zi Feng saying someone else was better. There were always higher mountains and stronger individuals beyond oneself.

However, his curiosity was piqued by Zi Feng, and he wondered aloud, "Xiao Feng, what is this little creature?"

"It could be considered a demon beast, but it has been tamed by me and has become my spirit pet," Ling Feng said, flicking Zi Feng’s forehead, and frowning, "Enough, Zi Feng. This is my benefactor, you must not be so impetuous."

Zi Feng stuck out his tongue but didn’t dare to continue his antics, sitting obediently on Ling Feng’s shoulder and staying silent.

"This little creature is indeed full of spiritual energy; I’ve never seen such a demon beast," Duanmu Qingshan commented with a faint smile, then returned his gaze to Ling Feng, "Good, now that you’ve broken through to the Magnetic Condensation Realm, let’s, master and disciple, fight side by side!"

"Yes!" Ling Feng nodded vigorously, his blood boiling with excitement.

It was time to reveal the true face of Lin Canglang, who seemed so upright and honest.

A cold light flashed in Duanmu Qingshan’s eyes as he declared icily, "Xiao Feng, step aside, let your teacher break this sealing Great Formation first! Then it’s time for Lin Canglang and his accomplices to pay their debts in blood!"

Yes! Ling Feng nodded, his figure flashing away dozens of meters.

The Great Formation sealing Little Bamboo Peak was specifically designed against Duanmu Qingshan; only he could perceive its existence, and Ling Feng could offer no help.

Then, they saw Duanmu Qingshan leap into the air, his Primordial Qi surging mightily, and with a "clang" of his long sword pointed towards the heavens, his aura soared skyward.

Boom boom boom!

In an instant, the clouds moved from all eight directions.

Within the sky, dark clouds amassed, rolling in tumultuously, with streaks of lightning flashing faintly within, now hidden, now visible.

"What’s going on? It was clear skies just a moment ago, how did it suddenly become overcast?"

"Something’s not right, why are all these clouds gathering towards Little Bamboo Peak’s direction?"

Disciple after disciple, Elder after elder, were all confounded.

"This..."

At the summit of Liuxian Main Peak, Lin Canglang’s eyes were intently fixed on the direction of Little Bamboo Peak, his eyebrows deeply furrowed.

"Sect Leader, it seems like the Five Thunders Locking Sky Formation that our fellow brothers and I set up with the Master before his explosive final moments has been triggered,"

Fear flashed in Yang Wei’s eyes as he clenched his fists tightly.

"It is indeed the Five Thunders Locking Sky Formation!" Lin Canglang said with a grave expression, grinding his teeth with loathing, "Old Bastard Duanmu, I didn’t expect you to still have the strength to contend with the Five Thunders Locking Sky Formation!"

He had thought that after so many years, the Sword Qi left inside Duanmu Qingshan by the previous Sect Leader should have tormented Duanmu Qingshan and considerably weakened his strength.

Yet to this day, Duanmu Qingshan was still able to contend with the Five Thunders Locking Sky Formation.

"How can this be? It’s impossible!"

One of the Peak Masters was completely flustered, as he had been one of the participants in the encirclement of Duanmu Qingshan; if Duanmu Qingshan were to break free from his isolation, the consequences would be unthinkable.

"What’s there to panic about! Whether Duanmu Qingshan can successfully break out is still uncertain. Even if he escapes his confinement, what’s there to fear from an old man who’s been in decline for over a decade?" Lin Canglang snorted coldly, "Don’t forget, I too have already advanced to the Origin Transformation Realm!"

Lee Liang clenched his fists, grinding his teeth as he said, "Sect Leader, I suspect that from the very beginning, Ling Feng never cooperated with us at all. He pretended to agree to steal the Sword Scripture from Old Bastard Duanmu, but it was actually just a delaying tactic! We’ve been played by that rascal!"

"That damned little bastard!" Anger surged in Lin Canglang’s eyes, "Regardless, the Golden Silkworm Gu Poison is indeed real! How dare you deceive our sect, you little wretch, today, I will make sure neither you nor your master have a place to be buried!"

"Clang!"

With a sweep of his Sword Edge, Lin Canglang’s figure shot into the sky like lightning, he turned back to look at the assembly of Peak Masters and Elders and said coldly, "What are you standing around for, follow me!"

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

One figure after another shot out like a bolt of lightning, all rushing towards the direction of Little Bamboo Peak.

As the Thunder Clouds moved, heaven and earth were shaken!

Duanmu Qingshan’s eyes sparkled with Divine Light, his aura continually rising.

Swoosh!

A gust of wind swept across from Duanmu Qingshan as its epicenter, sending the surrounding trees and plants into a frenzied tremble, uprooting them from the ground.

Ling Feng kept his distance, gripping onto a giant stone, yet still feeling the biting pain as the raging winds swept past him.

From afar, an angry roar could be heard, "Old Bastard Duanmu, don’t even dream of breaking out of the formation!"

Then, one after another, figures descended from the skies; it was none other than Lin Canglang, Lee Liang, and Yang Wei among others.

Duanmu Qingshan stood proudly, his Long Sword sweeping with a disdainful sneer, "So, you have all finally arrived, eh? Too bad, it’s too late!"

Crackle!

The first Thunderbolt tore through the sky, Duanmu Qingshan did not dodge or flinch, instead shooting straight up into the heavens, both hands gripping the sword, aimed directly at the descending lightning, and struck out decisively.

Boom!

The sky was swept with Sword Qi, colliding with the Thunderbolt; the lightning shattered with a crack, and then the dark clouds in the sky quickly dispersed. Around Duanmu Qingshan, a faint golden light screen seemed to shatter, the Five Thunders Locking Sky Formation utterly collapsed.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle!

Arcs of lightning surged around Duanmu Qingshan, his arms holding the Long Sword trembling slightly.

Nonetheless, he had finally broken free from the Great Formation that had imprisoned him for over a decade, reclaiming his freedom.
