Chapter 24

"Each person gets one bottle"!

Lin Feng and Murong Xue found a secluded valley and hid in a cave within the valley. Then, Lin Feng took out two bottles of Mystic Ice Cold Liquid and threw one to Murong Xue.

"Mystic Ice Cold Liquid, this is great. With this bottle of Mystic Ice Cold Liquid, I can break through my cultivation. Yuwen Yunfeng spent countless amounts of money and time to find the Mystic Ice Cold Liquid. I wonder what his face will look like when he finds out it's been taken."

Murong Xue's face showed a look of schadenfreude.

"Probably wishes he could cut us into a thousand pieces," Lin Feng said with a smile.

"Hehe, that's what he deserves. Once my cultivation improves, I'll personally kill that evil Yuwen Yunfeng," Murong Xue said, gritting her teeth.

The cave Lin Feng and Murong Xue found was quite large. The two of them each found a spot to meditate.

Lin Feng opened the bottle and directly consumed the Mystic Ice Cold Liquid.

As the Mystic Ice Cold Liquid entered his body, a bone-chilling cold swept through him, making him shiver uncontrollably, as if his entire body was about to freeze.

He didn't dare hesitate and quickly began to circulate his cultivation technique to refine the Mystic Ice Cold Liquid.

Under the refinement, the ice on Lin Feng's body gradually disappeared, and his body temperature began to return to normal.

While Lin Feng and Murong Xue were refining the Mystic Ice Cold Liquid, Yuwen Yunfeng had already joined up with Sun Kui and others.

Originally, the Soul Devouring Hall had dispatched over a hundred experts, but after the battle with the Ice Ape King and his group, they lost over seventy experts, leaving only about thirty to forty.

Such a huge loss, and without obtaining the Mystic Ice Cold Liquid, it's easy to imagine how bad Yuwen Yunfeng's mood was and how terrible his expression was.

"Master, did you get the Mystic Ice Cold Liquid?" Sun Kui and others asked with flattery.

Yuwen Yunfeng's face immediately showed a cold killing intent, "The Mystic Ice Cold Liquid has been stolen."

"What? Stolen? Who would dare to steal Master's Mystic Ice Cold Liquid? Do they want to die?"

Another cultivator said with a sinister tone. This cultivator was also a Martial Master realm expert, lean and about thirty years old, with a fierce appearance.

This person was Li Tianshang, the third Martial Master realm cultivator in Yuwen Yunfeng's group.

Sun Kui said, "Could it be Murong Xue and that boy?"

Yuwen Yunfeng nodded with a dark expression, "I also suspect it's these two. Send people to search for them. If you encounter them, kill them or capture them, but don't let them escape."

"Yes, Master."

Following Yuwen Yunfeng's order, the Soul Devouring Hall cultivators dispersed to search for Lin Feng and Murong Xue.

...

At this moment, Lin Feng was at a critical point in his cultivation. His entire body was trembling violently, and the veins on his face were bulging. A piercing pain swept through his body.

The Mystic Ice Cold Liquid can expand a cultivator's meridians. The wider the meridians, the more true qi can flow through them when a cultivation technique is used, and the more powerful the martial techniques will be.

Expanding meridians is equivalent to enhancing one's talent.

However, this kind of enhancement is clearly not something an ordinary person can endure.

Even with Lin Feng's strong will, he felt a sense of near-collapse.

But he ultimately persevered. Lin Feng's meridians and dantian were expanded by a factor of two under the refinement of the Mystic Ice Cold Liquid.

When the meridians and dantian were remodeled, Lin Feng felt his body greedily absorbing the energy of the Mystic Ice Cold Liquid, and his strength rapidly increased.

After three hours, Lin Feng finally opened his eyes.

Boom.

He punched a block of black rock in front of him.

Crack.

The extremely hard black rock was shattered by Lin Feng's punch.

"Ha, my punch has a force of 36,000 pounds."

Lin Feng's face showed a look of wild joy. After refining the Mystic Ice Cold Liquid, he finally broke through.

Eighth Rank Martial Artist, 32,000 pounds of strength.

Ordinary cultivators at the Eighth Rank Martial Artist level have a strength of 12,800 pounds, the Ninth Rank has 25,600 pounds, and the Tenth Rank has 51,200 pounds.

Lin Feng, at the Eighth Rank Martial Artist level, had a strength that surpassed the Ninth Rank and approached the Tenth Rank's peak strength.

Half an hour later.

Murong Xue also woke up from her cultivation. At that moment, Lin Feng sensed a strong波动 from Murong Xue, and he was slightly surprised; Murong Xue must have also broken through.

Murong Xue stood up with a delighted expression and said, "Hehe, this Mystic Ice Cold Liquid is truly a heavenly elixir. It helped me break through to the next level. It's a pity there's only one bottle. If there were a few more, my cultivation might have improved even further."

Lin Feng rolled his eyes and said, "This Mystic Ice Cold Liquid took ten years to accumulate. Do you think it's as common as cabbages in the market? This is something that is hard to come by."

Murong Xue stuck out her tongue and said, "I bet Yuwen Yunfeng is about to die of anger. It's really satisfying."

"Hehe, he probably wishes we would die a miserable death. It's not early, let's head to Zhen Tian Cliff."

Murong Xue nodded and set off with Lin Feng again.

The next day, while passing through a forest, Lin Feng suddenly felt a sense of alertness because he felt the forest was too quiet.

Almost instinctively, Lin Feng whispered, "Be careful, quickly hide."

Lin Feng moved to the left, and Murong Xue, hearing Lin Feng's warning, moved to the right.

Just as they started moving, two arrows shot out from the forest, almost grazing their bodies. Lin Feng and Murong Xue were both drenched in cold sweat. Murong Xue was slightly relieved, grateful to be with Lin Feng and for his warning; otherwise, she might have been pierced through the heart just now.

"Boy, your cultivation isn't much, but you're quite alert."

At this moment, a cold laugh came from the forest.

Lin Feng and Murong Xue looked over and saw a man in white holding a large bow emerge from the forest, his face cold and mocking.

"Yuwen Yunfeng."

Seeing this person, Lin Feng and Murong Xue's faces changed slightly. They never expected to encounter Yuwen Yunfeng here. They looked around and saw that only Yuwen Yunfeng was there, which made them feel a bit better. If there were other Soul Devouring Hall members, it would be very dangerous for them.

"I knew it was you two who stole my Mystic Ice Cold Liquid. Hand it over," Yuwen Yunfeng said with a sinister tone.

Murong Xue pouted and said, "The Mystic Ice Cold Liquid has already been refined by us. We should thank your Soul Devouring Hall people for distracting the Ice Ape King and his group, or Lin Feng and I wouldn't have had the chance to get the Mystic Ice Cold Liquid."

At this moment, Murong Xue still wanted to provoke Yuwen Yunfeng. Hearing that the Mystic Ice Cold Liquid had already been refined, Yuwen Yunfeng's killing intent could no longer be suppressed. "I spent so much money and effort to find the Mystic Ice Cold Liquid, but now you've stolen it from me. This is a great hatred. I will take your lives."

With that, Yuwen Yunfeng charged at Lin Feng and Murong Xue.

"Lin Feng, hold him off. I'll control the flying sword to kill him."

"Alright." Lin Feng nodded and leaped out.

Swish.

The long sword was drawn.

The sun rose in the sky.

The divine sword emerged.

Lin Feng used his strongest move, the Sun Sword Technique.

He knew that he couldn't be careless against an expert like Yuwen Yunfeng, or he might end up dead.

"Boy, you're asking for death."

Yuwen Yunfeng's face was full of cold killing intent. A light flashed in his hand, and he drew a long sword, slashing at Lin Feng.

Clang.

Their weapons collided, and Lin Feng felt as if he had been hit by a mountain. He was thrown back, and Yuwen Yunfeng's strength was terrifying. The force was about to crush Lin Feng's body. Lin Feng was shocked. From Murong Xue, he knew that Yuwen Yunfeng was at the Ninth Rank Martial Master level. Just one collision made Lin Feng realize the huge gap between himself and a Ninth Rank Martial Master.

But Lin Feng was not discouraged. He believed that once he reached the Ninth Rank Martial Master level, or even just the Fourth or Fifth Rank, he could crush Yuwen Yunfeng. Lin Feng had full confidence in himself after his cultivation.

Lin Feng activated his Devouring Martial Spirit, absorbing the terrifying force that had entered his body.

"Boy, die."

Yuwen Yunfeng's face was cold, and he leaped out, stabbing at Lin Feng with his sword.

The situation was extremely dangerous. At this critical moment, Murong Xue was ready.

A cold light flashed in the air, and a flying sword shot out, heading straight for Yuwen Yunfeng.

Murong Xue successfully summoned her flying sword.

The flying sword, killing from a distance.

Murong Xue wanted to use the power of the flying sword to kill Yuwen Yunfeng.

Seeing the flying sword quickly heading towards Yuwen Yunfeng, Murong Xue's face showed a hint of satisfaction. She was always very confident in the power of her flying sword.

"Hmph, Murong Xue, you're too happy too soon. River Mountain Seal, come forth."

At this moment, Yuwen Yunfeng summoned a large seal, which emitted a powerful aura, clearly a powerful "magic tool" like Murong Xue's flying sword, both transcending the realm of ordinary weapons.

The River Mountain Seal quickly enlarged to ten meters tall.

Murong Xue's flying sword struck the River Mountain Seal and was deflected. The River Mountain Seal suddenly emitted a purple light, striking Murong Xue. She let out a muffled cry, flew back, and fell to the ground, her face pale, unable to get up for a long time. This strike had seriously injured her.

"Oh no..." Murong Xue's face changed drastically. She tried to get up, but the pain was too intense, and she failed. She could only watch helplessly as the River Mountain Seal crushed towards her.

"Am I, Murong Xue, to die like this?" Murong Xue's face was full of despair. At this critical moment, Lin Feng appeared beside her, fully activating the Dragon Elephant Force, which surged into his dantian, then through his limbs and into his arm, and finally into the long sword in his hand. Lin Feng unleashed his strongest move.

"Sun Sword Technique."

Lin Feng roared, and a blazing sun rose in the sky.

Lin Feng's long sword collided with the River Mountain Seal.

The powerful River Mountain Seal was sent flying several meters away. This strike clearly injured Lin Feng as well, his face pale. He quickly helped Murong Xue up and asked, "Are you okay?"

"I'm injured internally. We must leave quickly." Murong Xue's face was pale. At this moment, Murong Xie took out a jade talisman and held it in his hand. Lin Feng glanced at it and saw intricate patterns on the talisman. His heart raced. Could this be a legendary magic talisman?

It was said that magic talismans were inscribed with powerful formations by spirit array masters. By infusing true qi into the talisman, it could release a powerful effect.

"Murong Xue, and the boy Lin Feng, you're dead today." Yuwen Yunfeng, full of killing intent, charged forward. At this moment, Murong Xue activated the magic talisman.

Seeing the magic talisman, Yuwen Yunfeng's face changed slightly. "A medium-grade mystic magic talisman."

He seemed to know the power of the talisman and quickly retreated.

Boom...

The magic talisman exploded, sweeping through the sky and earth. The terrifying energy destroyed the entire forest, smoke and dust filling the air. When the explosion's energy dissipated, Yuwen Yunfeng quickly emerged from his hiding place, but Lin Feng and Murong Xue were already gone.

In the distance, Sun Kui, Li Tianshang, and other Soul Devouring Hall experts quickly arrived.

"Master, what happened?" Sun Kui asked.

Yuwen Yunfeng's voice was dark, "I encountered Murong Xue and that boy here. Murong Xue was already injured, and that boy is just a Martial Artist, not a threat. Search for them, they can't have gone far."

"Yes, Master."

Following Yuwen Yunfeng's order, Sun Kui, Li Tianshang, and others dispersed and rushed into the forest to search for Lin Feng and Murong Xue.
