Chapter 399: Coming to Kill! (1/2)

At the site where people used to observe the nine sword mountains, there was nothing left anymore. There was only a vein of the earth filled with rich and thick pure Qi.

However, since the nine sword mountains had disappeared, more people were coming to that place, but not to practice sword cultivation though.

The Yue Clan had started to unceasingly extract the natural resources from the vein of the earth. They had even found out that the vein of the earth was gigantic and covered an area of dozens of kilometres. Besides, the ground was filled to the brim with purity stones.

The mountain from which people used to observe the nine sword mountains was also filled with pure Qi but before, the vein of the earth was too deep, so people couldn’t sense the Qi hidden beneath the earth. At that moment, the vein of the earth was opened and the entire area was filled with the Qi of heaven and earth, it was so thick that it was floating in the air.

For that reason, the Yue Clan had decided to fortify the area and surrounded the vein with protection. After all, that place was in the centre of the Nine Dragon Mountain Chain which was a place filled with ferocious beasts.

The pure Qi attracted ferocious beasts, therefore the Yue Clan had no choice but to defend that location against them.

However, even though the Yue Clan didn’t let ferocious beasts into the area, they allowed people from Xue Yue to come as long as they followed some rules. They were only allowed to practice cultivation there, they were not allowed to pick up any purity stones. If someone dared to pick up a single purity stone, even one of lower quality, the Yue Clan would kill them. Anyone who dared violate the rules would be killed.

People were also well aware that if the Yue Clan allowed other people to practice cultivation there, it was only because they were afraid of infuriating them. If they had forbidden people from coming, then people would have gathered and captured the vein of the earth. However, one of the conditions was not to take any purity stones.

Therefore, cultivators who came didn’t foolishly try to steal the purity stones. If they tried and were caught, they would die, it wasn’t worth it.

At that moment, outside of that protected area, in the middle of a thick and dense forest filled with ferocious beasts, there were some people fighting against ferocious beasts.

That group of people was composed of two girls, one old man and a young man.

Those four people were surrounding a ferocious beast. It was a ninth Ling level snake, it was almost forty meters long, it could spit poisonous Qi from its mouth. When that snake opened its mouth, it was so large that it could swallow someone whole.

Those four people were being extremely vigilant. A ninth Ling level beast wasn’t easy to handle, the strongest of the four people was the young man, he had broken through to the ninth Ling Qi layer, he had extremely high natural abilities.

“Feng Ting, Jing Yun, you girls move back. I will handle that snake.” Said the young man while taking a step forwards. He wanted to kill a ninth Ling level beast by himself.

“Duan Feng, let’s do it together. You just broke through to the ninth Ling Qi layer, your cultivation is not stable yet… And that snake is extremely powerful, it will not be easy to defeat.” Said Jing Yun while frowning. That young man was precisely Duan Feng but, two years had passed and he looked much more mature. Besides, his eyes looked more profound and mystical.

“Jing Yun, sister, no need, since our big brother is not here, I am in charge of protecting you, don’t forget about that. I have never been forced to use my spirit either.” Said Duan Feng while smiling. He was wondering how Lin Feng was getting on these days. If Lin Feng saw how strong he had become, he would certainly be very happy.

When Jing Yun heard Duan Feng talk about Lin Feng, she was surprised and immediately after, her beautiful eyes were filled with radiant splendour.

In the carriage, when they left the small village, she hadn’t realized how high Duan Feng’s natural abilities were.

Duan Feng had the blood spirit of the Imperial Clan, he could already use four sealed doors, he had a strong spirit and was extremely talented. In two years, he had broken through to the ninth Ling Qi layer, that was extremely quick.

Jing Yun had a realisation, she realized that if someone was both talented and young, their cultivation could increase extremely quickly. It was amazing.

Of course, Jing Yun also knew that not everything could be attributed to Duan Feng’s talent, he was also a hardworking cultivator. No matter how much he was suffering, he kept practicing cultivation everyday day and night. Lin Feng had become his idol so Duan Feng was determined to walk on the same path. He didn’t want Lin Feng to leave him behind. Actually, he had been able to improve his cultivation so quickly by relying on his natural abilities and by fighting slaves.

“Alright, Duan Feng, please be careful.” Warned Jing Yun. Then, she slightly moved back letting Duan Feng fight alone.

The blood spirit of the Duan Clan was inside Duan Feng, he had inherited it. It was an extremely powerful spirit but Duan Feng had never been forced to use it. If he released it, defeating the ninth Ling level beast would be easy.

“Feng Ting.” Said Duan Feng to the other girl in black clothes. Feng Ting and the old man then moved away letting Duan Feng fight alone.
