Chapter 21

"Run fast."

Seeing the situation was not in their favor, the three members of the Swordsmanship Alliance took a few steps and tried to escape.

"Whirr"

However, their attempt to run was not without consequences. The strange gas in the sky, as if it had found its targets, darted towards them at lightning speed.

"Get lost"

Faced with such a bizarre object, the three began to wildly swing their black iron swords, but the strange gas was completely unaffected and eventually penetrated their brains.

"Ugh~~~~~"

At this moment, the three were already in a state of great distress, dropping their black iron swords and clutching their heads, they began to scream in agony.

Chu Feng could clearly see their faces turn from white to green, then to purple. They first knelt on the ground, then began to roll around, clearly suffering immense pain.

However, this painful screaming lasted only a moment. Soon, the three were out of breath, their legs stiff and lifeless, but their deaths were extremely bizarre.

Their faces were swollen, blood flowed from their seven orifices, their eyes bulged out, and even their hair began to fall out, making them look as terrifying as possible.

"Whirr"

But for Chu Feng, the most terrifying thing at the moment was the strange gas.

After torturing the three to death, the gas that had penetrated their brains emerged again. At the same time, the strange gas from all directions slowly floated towards Chu Feng.

"Senior, save me."

In a panic, Chu Feng turned his gaze to the mysterious old man nearby, because he noticed that the strange gas drifted everywhere but dared not approach the old man, indicating that the strange gas was wary of him.

However, Chu Feng's plea for help not only failed to elicit sympathy from the old man but also enraged the surrounding strange gas, which now attacked Chu Feng at lightning speed.

"Damn"

Seeing the situation was dire, Chu Feng leaped forward and ran towards the old man, hoping to rely on him to escape, but he underestimated the speed of the strange gas.

After running just a few steps, Chu Feng felt a sharp pain in his head, as if something had entered his consciousness, tearing at his brain tissue.

"Ugh~~~"

The pain continued to intensify, and Chu Feng knew that a large amount of strange gas had entered his brain. These things seemed to be devouring his body, causing unbearable pain.

In this situation, Chu Feng could not hold on and soon collapsed on the ground, rolling around and screaming in agony, just like the three members of the Swordsmanship Alliance before him.

The mysterious old man, however, remained unmoved by this scene. The strange smile on his lips gradually faded, replaced by a look of disappointment.

"Ah~~~~~"

At this moment, Chu Feng suddenly roared, and a white light emanated from his head, spreading out like a vortex. In an instant, it blew away the strange gas within a few meters, reducing it to ashes.

After the roar, Chu Feng fell to the ground, unconscious, but the white light vortex continued to rotate slowly around him.

Under the protection of the light vortex, the strange gas around him dared not approach, and the previously shrill screams became much lower, as if out of fear.

"Hmm?"

The mysterious old man's expression changed, and his eyes filled with surprise. Then, with a wave of his sleeve, a strange wave of energy spread out, and all the strange gas returned to the bones.

After the strange gas disappeared, the light vortex around Chu Feng slowly shrank and eventually merged into his brain.

"The wait of nearly a thousand years has finally paid off, I hope you do not disappoint me." The old man's figure moved, and he floated in the air, slowly descending in front of Chu Feng.

Then, he extended his fingers and tapped Chu Feng's chest several times. Several glowing orbs, like fireflies, flew out from his fingers and shot into Chu Feng's chest.

When the glowing orbs passed through Chu Feng's clothing and merged into his body, the clothing remained intact, but Chu Feng's chest began to emit a faint glow.

The old man stared at Chu Feng until the glow on his chest faded, then slowly closed his eyes.

Suddenly, a violent green hurricane swept out from the old man, permeated with points of light and an incredibly terrifying pressure, instantly engulfing the forest.

The most bizarre thing was that the violent hurricane did not rise but began to sink into the ground, eventually disappearing completely, along with the endless bones.

After the violent hurricane, the flowers, trees, and plants in the forest showed no change, and the hazy night once again enveloped the land.

The only change was that Chu Feng, who had fainted, and the three dead members of the Swordsmanship Alliance.

A gentle breeze brought a chill, and this chill also restored Chu Feng's consciousness, causing him to slowly open his eyes.

"Ugh, what happened? Was it just a dream?"

Chu Feng sat up, rubbing his aching head and scanning the surroundings. The terrifying scene had disappeared, making him think it was just a dream.

"No."

But when Chu Feng's gaze fell on the three members of the Swordsmanship Alliance, he suddenly stood up, looking at their terrifying deaths, realizing that what had happened was real.

"Too terrifying, how can there be such a bizarre place in the Spirit Medicine Mountain?"

"Ten Thousand Bone Tomb, where did it come from? Who is that mysterious old man?"

Chu Feng was extremely shocked. Even now, thinking about what had happened, he still felt it was unbelievable, as everything had exceeded his capacity to comprehend.

"Rustle, rustle, rustle..."

At this moment, Chu Feng suddenly heard footsteps, knowing that someone was approaching.

Seeing this, Chu Feng turned and fled into the forest.

He had to leave because he could not let anyone know that he was associated with the three members of the Swordsmanship Alliance, or he would be unable to explain.

He couldn't say that they entered the legendary Ten Thousand Bone Tomb, and the three were killed, while he remained unharmed.

Such a bizarre event would not only be unbelievable, but even if someone believed it, Chu Feng would be seen as an oddity in the Azure Dragon Sect, so he had to distance himself from it.

Chu Feng ran quickly but soon realized something was wrong. He felt his consciousness become extremely clear, and he could perceive the slightest movements far away, a sensation he had never experienced before.

"Could it be that the Spirit Medicine Mountain is so rich in spiritual energy, and the quiet of the night has made my mind more sensitive?"

Chu Feng tried to find the reason for his heightened awareness, but suddenly, he stopped, his eyes brightening, and his face showing surprise.

Because he sensed a strange energy fluctuation, even though it was still far away, he could already determine that it was a Heavenly Spirit Grass.
