Chapter 419 - 429: Returning Kindness with Enmity

Chapter 419: Chapter 429: Returning Kindness with Enmity

Watching the swaying figure of Li Shishi disappear, Chu Feng couldn’t take his eyes off her for a long time.

After being inflicted with the Heart-devouring Demon Planting Technique by the Ancient Horn Sore Demon, Chu Feng found his self-control getting worse and worse. This ticking time bomb must be removed as soon as possible, or else he could easily become a demon with his soul consciousness obliterated.

"Han Shuang has been brought back to the Ten Thousand Sword Sect, and opportunities abound. Sooner or later, my wish will come true. I’d better focus on my cultivation for now."

To suppress the evil fire in his heart, Chu Feng immediately entered the secret chamber to cultivate.

Having concocted a large number of elixirs to enhance his cultivation, his power has now advanced to the peak of the Middle Stage Great Sword Master. He could break through to the Late-stage Great Sword Master realm at any moment.

A fiery red elixir, the size of a quail egg, was taken out by Chu Feng.

To reach the level of the Middle Stage Great Sword Master and to break the shackles for a successful promotion, what’s needed is a substantial accumulation of Sword Qi.

Put simply, it requires the accumulation of power.

This elixir is named Fire Spirit Elixir.

Its only function is to increase Fire Sword Qi. The conversion rate is astoundingly high.

Probably only individuals with two kinds of constitutions would dare to take this kind of elixir.

One possesses the Six Yang Sword Veins, and the other has the Nine Yang Sword Veins.

Because for ordinary people, taking the Fire Spirit Elixir can easily lead to the loss of control of the Fire Sword Qi inside the body. For example, with Five Elements Sword Veins, if the five kinds of Sword Qi are imbalanced, it can backfire and even lead to the danger of exploding and dying.

However, the Six Yang and Nine Yang Sword Veins benefit from more Fire Sword Qi, with no risk of bursting.

As the elixir enters the stomach and its potency unleashes, there seems to be a fierce flame burning in the chest and abdomen. Chu Feng wears a pained expression, unable to help but groan.

Although elixirs can help one quickly enhance their cultivation, the process is extremely painful.

At the initial stage of the Great Sword Master, Sword Qi is condensed into sword light.

In the middle stage, it refines the sword meridians to make the sword light reveal a flame core.

At the Late-stage Great Sword Master, the difficulty increases tenfold or more, making the sword light materialize.

Although Chu Feng currently possesses the cultivation of the peak Middle Stage Great Sword Master, the sword light he conjures still flickers like flames, contracting or extending erratically. It’s very unstable.

This is because his power is not strong enough.

Just like an adult lifting a weight that exceeds his capacity, he will surely tremble continuously.

...

"Dong, dong, dong..."

In the midst of cultivation, Chu Feng hears the resounding sound of a bell echoing through heaven and earth, urgently ringing.

"This is the warning bell that signals danger to the sect!"

Chu Feng slowly ceases his practice and opens his eyes. He has been a member of Ten Thousand Sword Sect for over a year, yet has never encountered a situation where the sect is in danger.

In the Dan State North Territory, Ten Thousand Sword Sect is the absolute overlord.

Although Rashamon Sect can be ferocious, the Blood Sect Master knows her limits and would never dare to lead an assault on the Ten Thousand Sword Sect’s headquarters.

Otherwise, any Supreme Elder stepping forward would be able to crush her.

Who could it be, to make the sect sound the alarm bell?

Chu Feng guesses silently, could it be that the Ancient Demons have returned? It seems unlikely.

Even if the Ancient Demons came back and attacked Ten Thousand Sword Sect again, they would at most invite Chu Feng to join them in demon hunting, not ring the warning bell.

Stepping out of the secret chamber, Li Shishi, Han Dong were all waiting outside.

"Greetings, Master!" The two of them bowed in unison.

"What has happened?" Chu Feng noticed the solemn expressions on both of their faces.

"A large group of powerhouses has gathered outside the sect, demanding that the Sect Master hand you over. Both sides are currently in a standoff, with several Sword God Level experts amongst our enemies," said Li Shishi, her face fraught with worry.

Despite Chu Feng’s requests for her to warm his bed, she fled faster than a rabbit.

But when Chu Feng was truly in danger, she was utterly loyal.

"Let’s go out and take a look!" Chu Feng’s brows were tightly furrowed; what was bound to come had finally arrived.

Upon arriving at the sect’s gate, they could see the normally inactive Sect Protection Array was now activated. A faint clear light could be seen, enveloping the entire Ten Thousand Sword Sect within it.

The atmosphere was tense throughout the whole sect.

"Chu Feng has arrived!"

No one knew who shouted, but almost everyone turned their heads to look. Thousands of eyes focused on Chu Feng.

This gathering of many formidable enemies, besieging the Ten Thousand Sword Sect, was all to force the hand of the sect to turn over Chu Feng.

As long as they hand over Chu Feng, those powerhouses would retreat on their own.

Chu Feng’s face was indifferent, showing no emotion. As soon as he appeared, Han Xiaoying, Han Shuang, Elder Shoumei, and others immediately flew over. They all looked at Chu Feng with concern.

The Master of Ten Thousand Sword Sect also flashed to Chu Feng’s front in an instant.

"Kid, who exactly did you provoke? Among these people, there are disciples of the Eternal Life Pill Master and brave warriors from the Divine Martial Continent, the Azure Dragon Heavenly Kingdom," the Master of Ten Thousand Sword Sect was bewildered by these adversaries.

Such a multitude of experts, even if the Ten Thousand Sword Sect exhausted all its strength, could not possibly prevail against them.

The Ancient Horn Sore Demon of the last encounter was fearsome, but at least they could still hold out against it. The multitude of enemies that have come this time are ten times more terrifying than the Ancient Horn Sore Demon.

Chu Feng’s gaze, through the mysterious azure light screen, looked toward those eager and strong adversaries outside.

And those outside, equally looked back towards Chu Feng.

"Evil Disciple!"

The fury in Chu Feng’s eyes when they landed on the faces of three among them was overwhelming.

These three evil disciples had been painstakingly nurtured and taught by Chu Feng himself, allowing them to attain their positions today. Now, with Chu Feng in trouble, having been killed by the Panlong Crown Prince.

Instead of repaying their teacher’s kindness and avenging Chu Feng, they defected to the enemy, conspiring with the Panlong Crown Prince to kill Chu Feng.

All three looked at Chu Feng with cold eyes, filled with curiosity.

"Take a good look and recognize if this young man is truly your esteemed teacher," said a burly man at the forefront, who appeared to be around forty years old. His triangular eyes emitted bursts of fierce light, and his forehead was furrowed, coupled with four robust bulges of flesh on his face, giving him an exceptionally fierce demeanor.

One could tell at a glance that he was a ruthless character.

The man carried a giant sword on his back and wore armor that only a General could don.

However, he wore no helmet.

Waves of ferocious aura wafted from his body, sweeping across the sky, assaulting the heavens.

It was as if he were not a man, but an ancient Fierce Beast capable of tearing the heavens and splitting the earth, capable of slaughtering all. Even the Supreme Elders of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect beheld this man with a trace of fear in their eyes.

"This middle-aged man exuding a fierce aura must be Xuanyuan Wudi sent by Panlong Crown Prince to take charge," Chu Feng thought.

Those three evil disciples scrutinized Chu Feng, showing no trace of fear nor any sign of respect for their master.

"That bearing, those eyes, they are very similar. And every move he makes is akin to the Eternal Life Pill Master," said the third disciple, a beautiful young woman with a foxy and slightly rounded face.

Women are attentive to details, and as Chu Feng’s third disciple, she remembered her master’s many subtle characteristics clearly.
