Chapter 448: Chapter 448: Re-Encounter with the Tiankun Sect (13th Update)

Shi Feng’s heart pulsed with an unparalleled excitement, joy, and anticipation as he reached for the Sky Blue Crystal. However, the Sky Blue Crystal mysteriously moved forward, and not only did Shi Feng grasp at nothing with his right hand, but an Ice Blade also appeared on his right hand, which was covered in black hair, and ferociously chopped down toward Shi Feng’s own hand!

"Power of Seven-star Martial Venerable!" As Shi Feng eyed the Ice Blade and sensed the power within it, his face changed drastically, revealing a look of extreme horror, and he quickly withdrew his hand backward.

Though Shi Feng’s hand moved swiftly, the Ice Blade still slashed through, shearing off a large patch of black hair.

Although Shi Feng’s hand was not directly hit, the potent cold aura that the Ice Blade left in its wake as it passed by his hand still managed to slice the back of Shi Feng’s hand, spurting a large spray of blood.

Not only that, but Shi Feng also felt a bone-chilling cold invading his bloodstream from the wound, threatening to freeze his entire hand, and the cold was creeping upward from his hand.

Shi Feng promptly formed a Handprint and growled lowly, "Nine Nether Undying, eternally enduring!"

Shi Feng used the Nine Nether Technique to heal the injury on his hand and to dispel the cold invading it with the Nine Nether Power.

The Ice Blade missed striking Shi Feng’s hand and plummeted towards the ground beneath him at great speed. When it hit the sky-blue ground, it was as though a massive mountain had smashed down from the heavens, causing the earth to shake violently and emit a series of intense roars.

However, the land’s roaring ceased soon after, leaving only a vast, ferocious crack on the sky-blue ground where the Ice Blade had landed, a testament to the might of the Power of Seven-star Martial Venerable.

With the Nine Nether Undying Body, the injury in Shi Feng’s hand was not severe and soon recovered; the cold current was also quickly expelled by the Nine Nether Power. At this moment, Shi Feng slowly raised his head, his icy face seemingly frosted over with a layer of cold mist, his eyes filled with a chilling murderous intent, coldly staring ahead.

In front of him stood two middle-aged men, towering in the Void not far before Shi Feng.

One of the men, who appeared to be in his forties, was clad in a black robe with a majestic air and commanding face, signaling his strong Martial Arts presence. He was the very person Shi Feng had encountered outside the Death Forbidden Land, a member of the Tiankun Sect and a Five-star Martial Venerable powerhouse—Qian Yuan Shan!

At this moment, Qian Yuan Shan’s hands were covered with black hair, much like Shi Feng’s. However, in his right hand, which was covered in black hair, he was toying with a lotus exuding a brilliant sky-blue radiance, the very Sky Blue Crystal itself. Qian Yuan Shan watched Shi Feng with a look of amusement.

Another man, about fifty years old, dressed in a golden robe with a handsome and spirited face, was marked most noticeably by two mustaches at the corners of his mouth, resembling a pair of eyebrows.

This man’s Martial Arts Cultivation was even at the level of Seven-star Martial Venerable, indicating that the Ice Blade that had nearly severed Shi Feng’s right hand must have been his doing.

Seeing these two men, and seeing the black hair on Qian Yuan Shan’s hands, Shi Feng realized that this blue world had other passageways besides the one they had entered through, as well as other Bronze Gates that would curse anyone on contact!

Shi Feng stared at the two people before him, his eyes fixed on the Sky Blue Crystal that Qianz Yuanshan was toying with in his hand. The Full Moon Scimitar appeared in Shi Feng’s left hand, and with a flash of blood-colored light in his right, the Blood-colored Longsword—the Bloodthirsty Sword—materialized.

These two, who had taken his Sky Blue Crystal and nearly severed his right hand, had already been entered into Shi Feng’s kill list.

"Oh! Not bad, not only have we obtained the Divine Grade Forging Material, the Sky Blue Crystal, but we will also have a Sixth Grade Profound Artifact. Junior Brother Qianz, it seems that our unintentional entry here has yielded no small harvest!" The middle-aged man with the mustache, upon seeing the Blood-colored Longsword in Shi Feng’s hands, wore an even more mocking smile.

And this person addressed Qianz Yuanshan as Senior Brother Qianz, which suggested that he, too, was from that Tiankun Sect.

Hearing the words of the mustached man, Qianz Yuanshan shook his head with a faint smile and said, "Senior Brother Guo, you’re mistaken. Although that Sixth Grade Profound Artifact is precious, it actually doesn’t compare to the Full Moon Scimitar in his left hand.

Outside the Death Forbidden Land, he activated the Full Moon Scimitar, unleashing power that even made my heart palpitate. And this scimitar, it can emit a grayish-white mist just like the Death Forbidden Land; this blade very likely comes from the Death Forbidden Land!"

"Oh, is that so? He, a mere Two-star Martial Venerate, actually wields power that even makes you, Junior Brother, feel frightened! It seems that the scimitar is indeed extraordinary!" The one called Senior Brother Guo, after hearing Qianz Yuanshan’s words, was slightly surprised on his face, but then smiled with relief and said:

"However, the more powerful and mystical his possessions are, the better for us! These things will all become ours soon enough."

"Haha, that’s indeed the case!" Qianz Yuanshan laughed and then, looking at Shi Feng, said to Senior Brother Guo beside him, "Oh, it turns out he has already stepped into the Two-star Martial Venerate Realm. Outside the Death Forbidden Land, he was merely in the One-star Martial Venerate Realm. It seems this young man’s talent is also extraordinary."

"Heh, so what if it is!" Hearing Qianz Yuanshan say the youngster was gifted, the mustached Senior Brother Guo scoffed and shook his head in disdain: "No matter how good his talent is, today he will either die or be reduced to a cripple!" After saying this, Senior Brother Guo looked directly at Shi Feng and said mockingly:

"Now, I give you two choices, either hand over everything you possess and shatter your own Dantian. Our Tiankun Sect is merciful and will spare your life! Or, you can futilely resist, and in the end, become a cold corpse in this Death Forbidden Land."

"Screw your mercy!" Shi Feng shouted angrily, his form shooting towards the two men before him. Shi Feng’s fury finally erupted completely at this moment, his Bloodthirsty Sword instantly stained with a pale white and the blade then erupted with violent Blood-colored Blaze, burning fiercely.

"Nine Nether! Strike!" Shi Feng raised the Flame Bloodthirsty Sword high, and a huge slash of Blood-colored Flame Sword Qi appeared above the two Tiankun Sect members, enveloping them below. Then, following Shi Feng’s gesture, the huge Flame Sword slashed down fiercely.

"Oh! Not bad, not bad!" The mustached Senior Brother Guo, seeing the Flame Sword Qi slashing down, revealed a smile once more and said:

"This Martial Skill, though just from a mere Two-star Martial Venerate, is still able to release such power with a Sixth Grade Profound Artifact; it’s enough to show the extraordinary nature of this Martial Skill. It seems this youngster has not only many treasures but even his Martial Skills are extraordinary. Indeed, he is like a moving treasure trove; this person might be our biggest gain from entering the Death Forbidden Land!"

The mustached middle-aged man, while finding Shi Feng’s Martial Skill extraordinary, did not regard it highly as a challenge for him, being a Seven-star Martial Venerate himself.

With a flick of his wrist, a surge of coldness appeared in his palm, which in a moment condensed into an Ice-colored dagger. Then, with a nonchalant flick of his bent fingers, the Ice-colored dagger in his palm shot upwards, flying towards the Flame Great Sword that was slashing down.
