Nine Yang Alchemy Emperor

"Scram!"

At this moment, Chu Feng made his move. He did not use the Demon Slaying Sword, that Heavenly Divine Weapon. Because it had yet to be repaired.

It was still better to use an ordinary Divine Weapon, which was more powerful and more agile.

After all, Chu Feng had finally reached the Sword Saint Cultivation level and thus gained the ability to practice Sky-Surmounting Sword Control.

Since he had only just broken through to Sword Saint, his Sword Domain was still weak, barely stable. Far from comparable to that of Liu Lang, a Sword God.

However, the Swordsmanship Chu Feng comprehended was the Heaven and Earth Sword Skill, and he had reached the Third Level. He was currently comprehending the Fourth Level.

In addition, he possessed the Nine Yang Sword Veins and had cultivated the Mixed Element Unlimited Skill.

With his strike, he actually went head-to-head and directly forced Liu Lang's Divine Weapon out of his grip. Liu Lang spewed fresh blood as he was blasted away.

Such ferocious combat strength stunned the group of enemies who had come to cause trouble.

"The two of them were in a fair duel, and you suddenly attacked. That seems somewhat dishonorable, doesn't it?" The red-haired young man stepped forward, supporting Liu Lang. His proud gaze fixed tightly on Chu Feng.

"Hmph, they tried to cripple my man. Not crippling him in return is already showing mercy," Chu Feng snorted coldly, prepared for a tough fight.

Today, Chu Feng's situation would be quite dangerous if the red-haired youth took action.

"Liu Lang, how are you?" The red-haired youth turned his head to inquire about Liu Lang's injuries.

After taking a couple of deep breaths, Liu Lang swallowed the blood rising in his throat and then said with a heavy voice, "This lad is extremely formidable. His Sword Qi is like hundred-refined steel. The sword light he condenses is also surprisingly powerful. As for his Swordsmanship, he probably has yet to comprehend the Fourth Level of the Heaven and Earth Sword Skill."

Liu Lang had suffered a significant setback. Looking at Chu Feng, he felt not only resentment but also a deep sense of fear.

Indeed, as Chu Feng had said, if Chu Feng hadn't shown mercy, Liu Lang would already be crippled.

Liu Lang had never encountered such a terrifying Beginner Level Sword Saint like Chu Feng.

"Sword Qi like hundred-refined steel?"

The red-haired young man pondered for a moment before focusing his gaze on Chu Feng again, with a hint of shock.

"Kid, have you cultivated the Sect's Cultivation Technique?"

"How about you? Haven't you cultivated it?"

Chu Feng was now certain that this red-haired youth was likely Han Dong, the number one expert on the Earth Rankings.

"Of course, I have," the red-haired youth said proudly. In the entire Ten Thousand Sword Sect, with a million disciples, only about two thousand were eligible to cultivate the Techniques. And that's just eligibility.

The number who truly cultivated the Techniques was probably just over a thousand.

One could say that cultivating Techniques was a symbol of status, as well as a mark of recognition from the higher echelons of the Sect.

It also meant a boundless future.

Among the Outer Disciples, those who cultivated Techniques were rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns. Probably no more than fifty people.

This includes those who served the Sect for many years, Elders, protectors, and other veteran experts.

For younger generations like Chu Feng, they could be counted on one hand.

"If I'm not mistaken, you must be cultivating the most difficult Mixed Element Unlimited Skill, right?" Since the red-haired young man had cultivated a Technique, he must be very clear about the only three Techniques available in the Sect.

"So what if I am?" Chu Feng didn't feel certain about defeating Yan Qing.

With an all-out effort, he had about a fifty percent chance of winning. But it hadn't come to that.

"When choosing Techniques, some Heavenly Prides don't believe in curses and choose the Mixed Element Unlimited Skill. However, the number who can cultivate it is few and far between. I went to Chuan Gong Hall to listen to lectures a few days ago, and I did hear people mention you."

"You reached the Third Level in just two and a half two hours. You are one of the best in the entire Sect. I didn't expect that in just about a month of receiving the Technique, you have already cultivated it to such a level. Admirable."

Yan Qing was extremely well-informed about Chu Feng's matters.

Indeed, as a person of Heavenly Pride Level, he would certainly pay attention to other heavenly talents.

Especially Chu Feng, who, like him, is also an Outer Disciple. Now Chu Feng's fame is faintly surpassing his, as the top figure in the Earth Rankings. This naturally made Yan Qing pay even more attention to Chu Feng.

"Give you a choice, immediately apologize to Liu Lang and hand over Pu Fazheng. Then this matter will come to an end."

"Otherwise, don't say I, an old disciple, am bullying you, a newcomer."

Having witnessed Chu Feng's true strength, Yan Qing felt a sense of respect between heroes.

Despite Chu Feng's impressive abilities, Yan Qing did not take him seriously.

"I did nothing wrong, so naturally I will not apologize. If you insist on standing up for Liu Lang, could you wait a few more days? Then, we will settle our differences in the Earth Rankings competition."

Chu Feng hesitated for a moment before saying this.

The competition for the Earth and Heavenly Lists is imminent, and a battle with Yan Qing now will surely result in damage to both parties.

This would undoubtedly affect their participation in the struggle for the Earth Rankings.

From the perspective of striving for glory for the Outer Sect, it would be a very foolish thing to do.

"Fine, I can agree to your request. I hope you won't disappoint me then, if you even qualify to challenge me. Otherwise, you don't deserve my effort. Just kneel on the arena and beg for my forgiveness."

Yan Qing readily accepted Chu Feng's demand.

"Tell that good-for-nothing Pu Fazheng, after this competition for the Earth and Heavenly Lists, I will marry Xiao Min. Let him hide for a lifetime," Liu Lang roared contemptuously.

He didn't dare to object to the decision Yan Qing had made.

Watching these troublemakers leave, Chu Feng's expression remained indifferent.

"Han Dong, are you alright?" Chu Feng asked with concern.

Unexpectedly, Han Dong was sitting cross-legged on the ground without reacting, as if he were deaf to everything around him.

Chu Feng took a closer look and saw spirit light flickering above Han Dong's head and Sword Qi fluctuating within his body. This state was all too familiar to him.

Han Dong must have had a significant realization during the recent confrontation and couldn't wait to assimilate and absorb it on the spot.

"He's simply a cultivation maniac!"

Chu Feng smiled and summoned two of his subordinates, instructing, "Protect him well and don't let anyone disturb his cultivation." The two subordinates responded loudly and complied.

Now, the entire Medicine Mountain No. 106 was almost completely taken over by Chu Feng.

Even the Vice Mountain Master Qiu Gong has already knelt and begged for Chu Feng's forgiveness. The rest goes without saying.

Only Zhong Hong and a very few others still harbored different intentions.

However, as long as they were discovered by Chu Feng, they would be immediately marginalized and unable to stir up any trouble.

...

Time flies incredibly fast, and in the blink of an eye, three days have passed. Two days ago, the Sect's Elder Pavilion had already issued a notice. The annual competition for the Earth and Heavenly Lists would take place in three days.

Compared to previous years, the rewards for this year were even more generous.

Especially for the first place in the Earth Rankings and the top three in the Heavenly List, in addition to the usual rewards, there was an additional special privilege.

That is the Pulling Technique.

The Supreme Elder of the Sect might personally perform the Pulling Technique for these four individuals.

At the very least, it will advance a small realm of cultivation.

Such a reward is enough to drive any Sect disciple to frenzy.
