Chapter 41

"Whoosh"

Faced with such a formidable Su Mei, Chu Feng was actually unable to dodge. In desperation, he had no choice but to use the first move of the Thunderbolt Three Techniques.

As soon as this move was unleashed, Chu Feng seemed to transform into lightning, his speed increasing several times over, like a flash of light, finally managing to evade Su Mei's attack.

"Girl, how can your strength be so powerful?"

Chu Feng was greatly alarmed. According to his estimation, when facing an expert at the Eighth Level of Spirit Martial, even if he couldn't defeat them, he could at least put up a fight.

However, Su Mei's previous attack, which was clearly just an ordinary attack, forced Chu Feng to use the Thunderbolt Three Techniques, his ace in the hole. This was simply beyond his imagination.

"Hmph, do you think you're the only one who has cultivated mystic arts?" Su Mei glanced at the shocked Chu Feng with disdain, then stopped attacking him and sat down on a chair in the hall, picking up an apple and biting into it in a very unladylike manner.

"Mystic arts, you've cultivated mystic arts?" Chu Feng was even more shocked.

He naturally knew what mystic arts were. Mystic arts were a type of cultivation technique, and they were called mystic arts precisely because of their mysterious nature.

Mastering martial cultivation techniques could condense spiritual energy. If one had good aptitude, breaking through to the Essence Martial realm was entirely possible. However, for those who only mastered martial cultivation techniques, the First Level of Essence Martial was the end of their cultivation, just like Chu Feng's grandfather, Chu Yuanba.

The Essence Martial realm was a completely new realm, requiring not the condensation of spiritual energy but of essence energy, which also existed in the world but could not be condensed by martial cultivation techniques.

To condense essence energy, one had to cultivate mystic arts. However, mystic arts were extremely precious and rare. It was said that in the entire Azure Dragon Sect, there were only a few, and only core disciples and elders could cultivate them.

But Su Mei was just an inner disciple, how could she have cultivated mystic arts? Unless....

"Is it so strange? If you can cultivate mystic arts, why can't I?" Su Mei pouted.

"So, this girl thinks I've cultivated mystic arts." Chu Feng's heart stirred. He had only heard about the various mysteries of mystic arts but had never seen them. However, upon careful consideration, his current performance did indeed resemble that of someone who had cultivated mystic arts, as described in the rumors.

"Hey, what's that look on your face? Don't tell me you haven't cultivated mystic arts and that you can only win with your extraordinary talent."

"I really haven't cultivated mystic arts." Chu Feng said.

"Are you serious?" Su Mei walked over.

"Uh-huh." Chu Feng nodded.

Su Mei stared at Chu Feng for a long time, as if looking for any signs of lying, but finally said in surprise, "It seems that those with mental power are indeed formidable. Without cultivating mystic arts, you're already this strong. If you did, how formidable would you be?"

"Ha, mystic arts, something I can't cultivate." Chu Feng shook his head. If he could, he really wanted to experience the so-called mystic arts.

Especially after learning that Su Mei had made such rapid progress and had such formidable cultivation because of cultivating mystic arts, he became even more eager to see them.

Seeing Chu Feng's yearning expression, Su Mei's eyebrows furrowed slightly, as if making a difficult decision. After a moment, she said, "I can give you the mystic arts."

"Are you serious?" Chu Feng's expression changed dramatically upon hearing this.

"Do I look like I'm lying?" Su Mei's face was serious.

"What's the price?"

"The price is joining my Wing Alliance."

"Why do you want me to join the Wing Alliance so much?"

"Because I want to recruit you. Now that I'm in the Wing Alliance, it's the power I rely on, so I think your joining will strengthen this power. Besides, you have no way out now."

"What do you mean?" Chu Feng felt a sense of unease.

"Don't you know that the Jian Chen you just beat is the younger brother of the Sword Path Alliance's leader?" Su Mei said with a wicked smile.

"You little brat." Chu Feng suddenly understood. It turned out that this girl not only used him as a shield but also made him an irreconcilable enemy of the Sword Path Alliance.

If he had just beaten an ordinary member of the Sword Path Alliance, the alliance might not have pursued it too much due to his strength.

But since Chu Feng had beaten the leader's younger brother, the Sword Path Alliance would definitely pursue it to the end, as it involved both honor and family ties.

"I know you have a fearless spirit, but you need to think carefully. You might not be afraid, but what about your sister Chu Yue and the others in your Chu family? Will they be afraid?" Su Mei said again.

"I really underestimated you, little girl." Chu Feng didn't expect her to know so much about him, clearly having investigated his background. He then said solemnly, "But my answer is still no."

"Chu Feng, aren't you being too arrogant?" Su Mei was almost furious. Being rejected even when offering mystic arts as a price was unbearable, and her temper flared up instantly.

"This isn't about being arrogant or not. It's just that I, Chu Feng, don't like being threatened. Go away." Chu Feng waved his hand. If he wasn't angry after being tricked by this girl, that would be abnormal.

"Bang" But at that moment, the main door of Chu Feng's residence was suddenly pushed open, and Chu Gao stumbled in.

Seeing Chu Feng, he felt like he had found a savior and shouted loudly, "Young Master Chu Feng, go save them quickly, it might be too late if you wait any longer."

"Chu Gao, what happened?" Chu Feng was greatly alarmed, as he saw Chu Gao's battered and bruised appearance, clearly from a fierce battle.

"Master Chu Wei, Miss Chu Yue, they..." Chu Gao was in a panic, his words incoherent.

"Take me there quickly!" Hearing Chu Yue's name, Chu Feng didn't bother to ask more and dragged Chu Gao out.

However, before leaving, Chu Feng gave Su Mei a fierce glare, as he felt that this was likely the Sword Path Alliance coming to seek revenge.

"So soon?" Su Mei also pouted, pondered for a moment, and then followed him.

On the way, it turned out that Chu Gao and the others had not encountered the Sword Path Alliance's retaliation but had run afoul of another alliance.

Not long after Chu Feng left, Chu Wei and the others encountered a fat man. The fat man, attracted by Chu Yue and Chu Xue's beauty, had publicly harassed them.

Chu Wei and the others beat up the fat man, but unexpectedly, a group of martial cultivation experts soon arrived. It turned out that the fat man, who was only at the Third Level of Martial Cultivation, was the leader of an alliance, with many followers and several experts.

Now, all the Chu family members had been captured, and Chu Gao was the only one who managed to escape.

"Wait, the fat man you mentioned, is he called Liu Mang, and is his alliance called Liu Alliance?" Su Mei asked.

"I don't know his name, but his alliance is indeed called Liu Alliance." Chu Gao replied.

At this moment, even the always fearless Su Mei furrowed her brows and said to Chu Feng with great seriousness,

"Chu Feng, your family is in big trouble!"
