Chapter 52

Azhi brought You Tanzhi and the guards to the woods, placing the divine wood tripod on a stone.

"Everyone, wait ten paces away. If you scare away my venomous creature, watch out for your heads," Azhi loudly said to the guards.

The guards nodded and said, "Yes, Lady!"

You Tanzhi stayed by Azhi's side, staring at the divine wood tripod.

A white giant silkworm, about ten centimeters long, crawled toward the divine wood tripod. Wherever the ice silkworm passed, the cold air would turn the grass and trees into frost.

"Wow, it's an ice silkworm..." Azhi exclaimed excitedly, then immediately covered her little mouth, afraid of startling the ice silkworm.

The ice silkworm is an extremely venomous and cautious creature. If it detects any danger, it will immediately flee. The ice silkworm is very fast, and if it decides to escape, Azhi and You Tanzhi might not be able to catch it.

"Go in, go in, hurry up and go in," Azhi shouted in her heart.

The ice silkworm hesitated for a moment, found no danger, and then crawled into the divine wood tripod.

Seeing the ice silkworm enter the tripod, Azhi quickly closed the lid.

"Ha ha, I've caught the legendary ice silkworm. This is really great. My Skill of Absorbing Power can finally be practiced," Azhi said excitedly.

You Tanzhi asked, "Miss Azhi, what is the ice silkworm for?"

Azhi snorted, "What do you know? The ice silkworm is a treasure. According to the records of our Xingxiu Sect, to practice the Skill of Absorbing Power, many venomous insects are needed, but with the ice silkworm, just one is enough. Let's go back to the Southern Prince's Manor."

Originally, Azhi wanted You Tanzhi to immediately put his hand in to let the ice silkworm suck his blood, but after some thought, she decided that practicing martial arts here was not safe, and it would be better to return to the city. In the prince's manor, there would be no unexpected events.

Azhi hugged the divine wood tripod and led You Tanzhi and the guards back to the city.

...

Xiao Feng's aura became increasingly powerful, and the people in the Southern Prince's Manor often heard the sound of "dragon roars."

Everyone knew that Prince Xiao was practicing martial arts, and they were all amazed. Prince Xiao's martial arts were truly unfathomable. Just the sound of his practice was so powerful; if he were to fight, wouldn't he be even more formidable?

Xiao Feng opened his eyes, and this period of seclusion was over.

It must be said that Xiao Feng was indeed a martial arts genius. His talent in martial arts was even stronger than Wang Yue's.

After these days of seclusion, Xiao Feng finally became a late-stage master, his martial arts skills now on par with Murong Bo, and the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms were wielded with ease.

Azhu saw Xiao Feng walk over and said happily, "Big Brother Xiao, you're finally out. Is your seclusion over?"

Xiao Feng nodded and said, "Yes, it's over. Azhu, thank you for bringing me meals every day. This time, I've broken through my martial arts skills, and I'm no longer afraid of that old villain Yan Longyuan. As soon as I get the chance, I will avenge my master and kill that old villain."

"Whoosh..."

A figure flew over the Southern Prince's Manor.

"Hmm?" Xiao Feng sensed the true qi fluctuation, came out to look, but didn't see the person clearly, only catching a glimpse of a back view.

"What incredible speed, what powerful lightness skill!" Xiao Feng said coldly, "It's Yan Longyuan!"

When Murong Bo left the city, Xiao Feng seized the opportunity and naturally followed. In the city, Xiao Feng couldn't make a move, but outside the city, there were no reservations.

"Follow and see!" Xiao Feng used his lightness skill and quickly followed.

"Big Brother Xiao." Azhu's voice came from behind.

Xiao Feng said, "Azhu, don't worry, wait for me at home."

...

Azhi and You Tanzhi were riding horses back to the city. Suddenly, You Tanzhi saw two experts using lightness skills and said, "What powerful experts, who are these two people?"

A flash of blood-red light appeared in You Tanzhi's eyes, and he finally saw the two experts clearly.

The one in front was an old man whom You Tanzhi didn't recognize, but the one behind was someone he remembered vividly, the Liao person who had forced his father and uncle to their deaths, Xiao Feng.

"It's actually the Liao person Xiao Feng!" You Tanzhi's voice was full of hatred.

Azhi, with her low martial arts skills, couldn't see the two people clearly, only feeling the figures flash by and disappear.

"Ah, it's my brother-in-law!" Azhi exclaimed when she heard You Tanzhi's words.

"Brother-in-law!" Azhi shouted loudly.

But Xiao Feng didn't respond to her.

Seeing that Xiao Feng ignored her, Azhi was sulking and said loudly, "Hmph, my brother-in-law actually ignores me. I hate him to death. I won't talk to him anymore. His heart only has my sister. I don't want to stay in the Southern Prince's Manor anymore. I want to go back to the Central Plains! You Tanzhi, after we return to the city and finish practicing our martial arts, we'll go back to the Central Plains."

You Tanzhi was also happy and nodded, "Okay, Miss Azhi."

You Tanzhi originally wanted to take revenge on Xiao Feng, but he realized he was no match for Xiao Feng and could only follow Azhi back to the Central Plains.

As long as they returned to the Central Plains, You Tanzhi could be alone with Azhi, which was what he hoped for.

...

After leaving the city for thirty miles, Murong Bo finally stopped and looked at Xiao Feng, asking, "Prince Xiao, why have you been following me? If you have something to discuss with me, you can come to my Guoshi Manor. I have important matters to attend to, so please don't follow me anymore."

Murong Bo had been trying to shake off Xiao Feng, but he didn't expect Xiao Feng's martial arts to have improved so much, and his lightness skill was also extremely powerful. After running for more than thirty miles, he still couldn't shake him off.

Xiao Feng sneered, "Yan Longyuan, I said that in the city, I can't make a move, but outside the city, I have no reservations. You old villain, you've always been in contact with Western Xia and even killed my master. Now you've come to the Liao, you must have some sinister plot to harm the Liao. Whether for personal grudges or for the safety of the Liao, today I, Xiao Feng, will not let you go!"

Xiao Feng flew into the sky and used the move "Flying Dragon in the Sky," instantly making the sky roar like a group of dragons. A golden dragon-shaped true qi attacked Murong Bo.

"Hmph." A cold light flashed in Murong Bo's eyes, "I didn't expect you to be so persistent. Since that's the case, today I'll see how powerful your Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms are."

"Vajra Diamond Palm!"

Murong Bo struck a huge palm print, blocking Xiao Feng's Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms.

"Boom!"

Murong Bo and Xiao Feng both retreated ten paces, but Xiao Feng looked more disheveled, indicating that although both were late-stage masters, Murong Bo's power was still stronger.

This was not surprising, as Murong Bo had accumulated over sixty years of internal energy, naturally making him more profound than Xiao Feng.

However, for Xiao Feng to become a late-stage master at over thirty and be able to match the world-class experts of the older generation was already a miracle.

Of course, people like Wang Yue were exceptions.

"Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms! This martial arts skill, when used by Prince Xiao, is indeed unprecedented and extremely powerful. Unfortunately, it seems you can't kill me. Prince Xiao, if you don't have overwhelming power, wanting to kill a late-stage master is just a delusion. I'll take my leave."

Murong Bo used his lightness skill and quickly left, soon disappearing.

To kill a master of the same level, one could only use overwhelming force, like Wang Yue killing Murong Bo.

Power at a certain level cannot be countered by just clever techniques.

This time, Xiao Feng didn't follow, as he knew he couldn't kill this old villain.

"Damn, my martial arts have improved so much, but I'm still not a match for this old villain. When will I be able to avenge my great grudge?"

Xiao Feng forgot that while his martial arts were improving, Murong Bo's martial arts were also improving.

Experts like Murong Bo and Xiao Yuan Shan, with their deep accumulation and rich combat experience, would make sudden breakthroughs in their martial arts.

After fighting with Yelü Qiyun, Murong Bo's martial arts improved again, and he was only slightly inferior to experts like Li Qiushui. Xiao Feng, who had just become a late-stage master, was naturally no match for him.

...

"You Tanzhi, write down the 'Blood Nerve Scripture.'"

Azhi said to You Tanzhi when she returned to the Southern Prince's Manor.

"Okay." You Tanzhi quickly wrote down the 'Blood Nerve Scripture.'

Although the 'Blood Nerve Scripture' was a profound demonic skill, it wasn't very long, only about three thousand characters.

Azhi put away the skill and took out the divine wood tripod.

"Put your hand in and let the ice silkworm absorb your blood. Take it out when it's full," Azhi said excitedly.

This was the ice silkworm, a treasure for practicing the Skill of Absorbing Power, which made her very excited.

This time, You Tanzhi didn't hesitate but directly put his finger in.

Soon, a layer of frost formed on You Tanzhi's arm.

"What a powerful cold poison!" You Tanzhi was shocked, "My Blood God True Qi can't even resist it."

Azhi's eyes widened, and she was amazed, "Is the 'Blood Nerve Scripture' really so miraculous that it can make one immune to all poisons?"

Soon, the ice silkworm absorbed enough blood and turned from white to blood red. Azhi held the ice silkworm and said happily, "That's it, I'm going to practice. You Tanzhi, stay here. When I come out, we'll leave the Liao and return to the Central Plains."

You Tanzhi nodded, "Okay, Miss Azhi. I need to meditate now because the cold poison has entered my body. When you come out, I'll take you away."

After Azhi left, You Tanzhi sat cross-legged and began to meditate.

The Blood God True Qi circulated, quickly neutralizing the cold poison and turning it into power. When the cold poison was completely neutralized, You Tanzhi's power increased by more than three times.

This time, You Tanzhi had a great encounter.

...

Azhu came to see Azhi. She loved her sister to the extreme and was afraid she would be wronged, but sometimes Azhi's actions made her feel helpless.

"Lady."

The guards and maids bowed to Azhu.

"Um." Azhu nodded in acknowledgment.

You Tanzhi saw Azhu and was surprised, "Miss Azhi came out so quickly? That's great. I'll take Miss Azhi away now, or when that Liao person
