PS: Striving for the top spot, currently this book is in second place, just a step away from the first. Brothers, give it your all, let's take the top spot, and burst the ass of the one in front... I need all kinds of votes, favorites, and support... I need everything... dear...

...

"Huh, he didn't die?"

Zhao Wen was well aware of the power of intermediate combat techniques. Even though he had slightly controlled the force of the previous strike, it still had enough power to severely injure or kill any martial artist below the Seventh Level of Martial Dao.

In cultivation techniques, everyone knows they are divided into Heaven, Earth, Mystery, and Yellow. Above these, there are even more powerful Mystery techniques, and combat techniques are one of their evolved branches. When used, their power is extraordinary.

Combat techniques are divided into初级 (初级), intermediate, and advanced, and are further classified like Heaven, Earth, Mystery, and Yellow.

In the Xuan Tian Continent, there are countless Mystery techniques, but combat techniques are extremely rare. It is very difficult to comprehend them, requiring a certain level of insight. Generally, comprehending a combat technique is equivalent to having an extremely powerful trump card, allowing one to easily defeat opponents of the same level.

...

Seeing Zhao Wen's failure, everyone couldn't help but be shocked, unable to say a word for a long time. Clearly, a weak little thief had managed to escape from a combat technique attack. If any of them had been in his place, they would have surely died. The reality before them was hard to believe.

"Uncle Wen? That little thief?"

Cheng Shaowen couldn't believe that Uncle Wen, at the Eighth Level of Martial Dao, couldn't capture a small thief and let him escape right before his eyes. It was as if someone was playing a big joke on him.

"Sir, please calm down!"

Zhao Wen moved swiftly, heading straight to a place eighty zhang away. The originally dense forest was now empty. The area around where he had struck was cleared, with towering trees lying in all directions, all destroyed by the combat technique.

On the chaotic trees, spots of blood were scattered on the fallen leaves and grass, leading in one direction and disappearing.

"Sir, you can rest assured. That little thief, although not lacking in skill, relies entirely on his lightness and agility. His cultivation is only at the Sixth Level of Martial Dao. He was hit by my intermediate combat technique, 'Ten Thousand Miles in One Strike,' and must be severely injured, losing most of his combat ability. He won't be able to escape far, probably within a few hundred miles. If you immediately seal off this area and search thoroughly, you will surely find that little thief!"

Cheng Shaowen, though angry, understood the importance of finding the person. Whether it was the ancient demon beast bloodline or the Red Sun Fruit, neither could be abandoned. He gritted his teeth and said, "As you say, I will immediately mobilize my subordinates. I must see the body if he is dead, and the person if he is alive. I want to see who has the nerve to snatch food from my mouth."

...

Just as Zhao Wen had guessed, Lin Fei was severely injured!

Cough, cough, cough...

In an unknown dense forest, a black figure staggered, covered in blood, with wounds all over his chest, enduring intense pain, and occasionally spitting out blood.

"You old bastard, what was that attack just now? It was so terrifying. If it weren't for..."

Lin Fei's thoughts instantly returned to the extremely dangerous moment just now.

... A golden greatsword slashed through the air, locking onto Lin Fei. No matter how he moved, the distance couldn't be increased, and the terrifying aura only grew closer.

On the brink of life and death, Lin Fei's calmness made him inadvertently recall the black longsword in the lair of the Eighth Rank demon beast that had made his heart race.

Fortunately, this flash of inspiration allowed him to use the black longsword, made of special material, to block the terrifying attack. He still suffered severe injuries, but if he didn't have the indestructible body, anyone else would have died instantly from the attack.

Recalling that moment, Lin Fei was still shaken. Fortunately, he had the black longsword, or he would have been finished.

...

After a while.

Lin Fei fell into the bushes with a thud, a wave of fatigue spreading through his body, making him feel unable to move.

"I can't sleep, absolutely can't sleep."

Despite the fatigue spreading through his body, Lin Fei, regardless of everything, struggled to sit up, opened his treasure bag, and took out healing pills, swallowing them all to control his injuries.

The 'Ten Thousand Miles in One Strike' attack had left his chest with wounds like a spider web, which were terrifying to look at. Fortunately, his indestructible body gave him a significant advantage; otherwise, the sheer force of the attack would have destroyed his body.

After taking the pills, the bleeding stopped, and Lin Fei no longer had to worry about excessive blood loss. His spirit improved, but his complexion was still very poor. The healing pills were good, but the injuries were too severe to recover quickly.

"Damn it, old man, even if you severely injured me, I stole the essence of the Red Sun Demon Monkey and the Red Sun Fruit, which enhances divine power. The people of the Blade God Sect will definitely not let me off. Fortunately, I was wearing a black robe, so they couldn't see my face. However, that old bastard will surely notice my severe injuries and search for me thoroughly!"

Despite his severe injuries, Lin Fei was still very excited. All the good things were now his, and it seemed that the so-called young master was so angry that he was spitting blood. His mood instantly improved.

After being severely injured, he managed to escape thanks to the 'Newcomer to the Martial World' medal, but his combat ability was reduced to a fraction. If he had encountered a Fourth or Fifth Rank demon beast in a chaotic demon beast area, the outcome would have been unimaginable...

"I need to find a place to recover as soon as possible. I will definitely take revenge on that old bastard's strike!"

Lin Fei clenched his fists tightly.

...

After recovering some strength, Lin Fei began to deal with the small details, especially the trail of blood he had left behind.

In college, Lin Fei was a meticulous person and quickly realized the trouble the blood trail could cause.

He endured the pain and washed off the blood in a lake in the forest to avoid being found. Dragging his exhausted body, he killed a Second Rank demon beast and found an old, decayed tree hollow to use as a temporary place to recover.

"This place is at least a few hundred miles from the battle site. As long as I recover some of my combat ability, I can protect myself. I don't think they will find me here so quickly."

Lin Fei focused his mind, circulated the Ninefold Xuan Qi, and quietly began to heal his injuries.

To mention, the Ninefold Xuan Qi can enhance the purity of Xuan Qi and also has healing properties, although the process is slow and requires a lot of time.

While Lin Fei was focused on recovering, the outside world was not calm.

The Blade God Sect, one of the three major sects.

At Cheng Shaowen's command, the area of the Eighth Rank demon beast, the Red Sun Demon Monkey, was immediately sealed off, forming a forbidden zone like an iron cage.

Everyone saw the Blade God Sect's domineering actions but dared not say anything, obediently taking detours to leave.

The changes in the Eighth Rank demon beast area immediately drew the attention of many. Everyone wanted to know what the Blade God Sect was up to.
