Chapter 51

Hua Su stood under a tree, separated from the others by a pear blossom stream. He slowly took out a piece of paper, rolled it into a cigarette, and put it in his mouth. Before he could take a puff, Jiang Feng and Ping Luan Shan had already retreated.

A large number of small mushrooms, each only as tall as a person's knee, were bouncing and jumping behind them, looking very lively. As soon as they got within one step of a person, they would immediately explode with a "bang," and countless spores would fly out like bullets, hitting the person with great force!

Hua Su lit the cigarette, took a puff, and said slowly, "Many Ming plants like to live in groups. If you disturb one, you have to be prepared to disturb a whole group..."

Ping Luan Shan shouted, "You should have said that earlier!"

Jiang Feng called out, "Retreat!"

The two of them darted to the side of the pear blossom stream like a gust of wind and simultaneously jumped into the water.

With the water as a barrier, the impact of the spores was greatly reduced.

Jiang Feng and Ping Luan Shan dived to the bottom of the stream. The mushrooms, as if they had lost their target, continued to bounce on the shore but did not enter the water.

Suddenly, with a "boom," the deep part of the stream seemed to explode like a bomb, sending a huge wave surging towards the shore, smashing into the mushrooms!

Immediately after, a series of "bangs" sounded, like a string of firecrackers going off by the river. When the water finally receded, it was clear that the mushrooms had all fallen to the ground, their caps burst open, and none of them could move.

Jiang Feng walked out of the stream, stood next to the mushrooms, looked at his hands, and smiled with delight.

Just now, he had used the Thunder Palm to create a huge wave, then condensed the Ming force into small balls and released them from his fingertips, causing them to explode inside the mushrooms, instantly eliminating them all!

He could clearly feel that his control over the Ming force had improved further. This series of attacks had almost no waste, and eliminating this group of Ming plants had only consumed about one-tenth of his total Ming force!

There was no doubt that this was the result of the past ten days. Hua Su's strange training methods had such a remarkable effect!

Hua Su took a deep puff of his cigarette and slowly exhaled, mocking, "To deal with a group of Level 3 Ming plants, you have to go through so much trouble. And that one, an entry-level martial cultivator, just stands there watching? Truly impressive!"

Just now, Jiang Feng had eliminated all the mushrooms by himself, and Ping Luan Shan hadn't even had a chance to act, giving Hua Su the opportunity to mock him.

Ping Luan Shan gritted his teeth, glared at Hua Su, and rushed back into the forest.

Jiang Feng shook his head with a bitter smile, picked up the mushrooms on the ground, and also dashed back in.

The two figures ran swiftly under the dark trees, and Jiang Feng clearly felt the changes in his body.

Every time his muscles contracted and his joints turned, Ming force flowed through them. This feeling was very comfortable, as if everything inside and outside his body was under his control, and he could do whatever he wanted.

A giant green python was coiled around a tree. As Jiang Feng passed by, the python lunged forward, opening its huge mouth to bite him.

Jiang Feng lightly touched a branch with his toes, suddenly speeding up and dodging the python's mouth. At the same time, his fist lightly touched the python's forehead, and with a sudden burst, the python exploded behind him, and not a single drop of blood touched him!

As the python's blood splattered, a buzzing sound rose in the forest. A group of black flying insects, attracted by the smell of blood, swooped down from the treetops.

They had just flown halfway when an electric net intercepted them.

The insects hit the electric net, making a sizzling sound, and fell to the ground.

Jiang Feng continued his path, and all the Ming beasts he encountered were no match for him.

The thrill of instant kills combined with the powerful sense of control made Jiang Feng feel more exhilarated than ever. He let out a long cry, and a sudden realization flashed through his mind.

His vision suddenly changed in a peculiar way, and he felt his body glowing.

Not only himself, but also the grass, trees, birds flying through the forest, and insects crawling on the ground—all of them were emitting light waves.

He suddenly looked up and saw a vine hanging silently from a tree, already close to his head!

The end of the vine looked like the head of a sea eel, with a dense array of sharp teeth, looking extremely terrifying. It was aiming straight for Jiang Feng's crown, about to bite him!

Jiang Feng's hand swept across his waist, and he raised it. The bull horn knife drew a golden arc, meeting the vine head-on, and the vine was cut in two.

He grabbed the smooth end and pulled hard, and a huge sea anemone-like Ming plant fell from the tree, landing in front of him.

Jiang Feng roared, punched forward, and drove a ball of lightning into the "sea anemone's" core.

The "sea anemone" made a gurgling sound and exploded, splashing out countless green fluids. Just before it exploded, Jiang Feng had already flipped onto a branch, completely avoiding it.

The broken "sea anemone" fell to the ground, and Jiang Feng ignored it, lifting his eyes to look around.

The light waves had disappeared, and the forest had returned to its original state.

But that momentary feeling was firmly etched in Jiang Feng's mind. He felt with absolute certainty that this was a world of Ming force. Everything in the world was supported by Ming force.

Ming force flowed back and forth, as if the entire world was breathing.

If he could turn this feeling into a constant state...

He took a deep breath, his consciousness withdrew from the surroundings and delved into his body.

He was surprised to find that he had unconsciously broken through another barrier and had already opened the seventh acupoint!

"Old Jiang!" Suddenly, a shout came, and Jiang Feng looked up to see Ping Luan Shan leaping from tree to tree, rushing towards him.

Behind him came a rumbling sound, the ground shaking, and trees falling. A towering tree, with branches as thick as a person, was waving its branches, chasing after him!

Where did this kid go to provoke such a big guy?!

Ping Luan Shan shouted, "Old Jiang, run fast!"

Jiang Feng didn't hesitate, turned, and ran. As he ran, he shouted, "What did you do? Where did you get it from?"

Ping Luan Shan was extremely fast and quickly overtook him. He grabbed Jiang Feng's arm and shouted, "Follow me!"

With his pull, Jiang Feng's speed also increased. Ping Luan Shan ran wildly, heading towards the edge of the forest.

Jiang Feng glanced back; the giant tree was as thick as ten people hugging it. Its branches, which were originally tightly wrapped around the trunk, now waved wildly in all directions.

Its strength was astonishing; with a single wave, a nearby tree trembled and fell.

The commotion was so great that all the Ming beasts and ordinary animals in the forest were startled, screaming and fleeing, not daring to stand in front of the giant tree.

Ping Luan Shan turned his head, laughed, and ran even faster.

Seeing his performance, Jiang Feng had an incredible thought.

No way, this kid can't be that stupid, right?

Before the thought was complete, the sky was already visible not far away.

Jiang Feng hadn't ventured too deep, and after a wild run, he could already see the edge of the forest!

He was very sensitive to direction and immediately knew that ahead was the pear blossom stream, the place where they had entered!

Ping Luan Shan pulled Jiang Feng again and shouted, "Teacher Hua, save us!"

Two seconds later, Jiang Feng's vision suddenly cleared. The stream flowed past him, and Hua Su was still standing under the tree, holding a cigarette, looking into the distance thoughtfully.

Hearing Ping Luan Shan's cry, he glanced over indifferently.

Ping Luan Shan shouted again, "Teacher, save us!"

As he spoke, he swung his arm and threw Jiang Feng towards the other side of the stream!

Jiang Feng used his momentum to step on a large rock in the middle of the pear blossom stream and crossed over. But Ping Luan Shan's body was left behind, and the giant tree was chasing him, its thick trunk about to sweep over him!

The area beside the twilight forest was in chaos. Hua Su looked up but didn't move a step. Instead, he took another puff of his cigarette and slowly exhaled.

Ping Luan Shan was stunned, then panicked. Did Hua Su mean he wouldn't help him?

"Whoosh," a thick branch whipped through the air, and Ping Luan Shan barely managed to roll out of the way. The attacks came one after another, and Ping Luan Shan found himself in a difficult position!

The giant tree was much higher in level than him, but it was not as agile. If he hesitated for a moment and got entangled, he would be seriously injured or killed.

But if he directly crossed the pear blossom stream, the other side was the pear blossom town, and he might bring this guy to the center of the crowd!

He dodged desperately, and the situation was becoming increasingly dangerous.

Jiang Feng frowned, glanced at Hua Su, and turned to cross the stream to help.

Suddenly, a weight pressed down on his shoulder, and the Ming force in his body instantly stopped, making him unable to move.

Hua Su pressed him down with his left hand, holding a cigarette in his right hand, and sneered, "You must be prepared to take responsibility for what you do. In this world, not everyone will step forward to help you when you are in danger."

Jiang Feng couldn't help but look at him.

Hua Su's eyes were deep, with a faint light flashing, like ghost fire. Moreover, his mocking words were not as sharp as usual but carried a deeper meaning, as if he was talking about Ping Luan Shan or someone else.

Ping Luan Shan gritted his teeth and said nothing, only dodging the giant tree's attacks more and more strenuously, and blood was already seeping from his body.

Jiang Feng waved his hand and pushed Hua Su's hand off his shoulder.

Hua Su frowned, "What are you going to do?"

Jiang Feng smiled slightly, "Not everyone will help, but not everyone will refuse to help."

He seemed to think his words were not well expressed, shook his head, and felt he had said enough. He crouched and was about to rush back to help.

Hua Su snorted, pressed his hand down, and although he didn't touch Jiang Feng's body, Jiang Feng felt the Ming force freeze, unable to move.

The Ming force was released externally, the strength of a Heart Enlightenment Martial Ancestor with three chains!

At this moment, Jiang Feng couldn't even turn his head, and he only heard Hua Su ask from behind, "Can you help one person, can you help all?"

A chill spread through the air, seeping into Jiang Feng's pores. But he answered simply and calmly, "Do my best, with a clear conscience!"
