Chapter 121: The First Flicker of Residual Shadow

  "Remnant shadow?"

  He froze, barely uttering two words from his throat, a sense of foreboding rose from his heart, every hair on his body stood up, and he suddenly felt an unprecedented crisis.

  "It's now!"

  Mo Feng suddenly appeared behind Hei Ying like a ghost, his entire body emitting a cold bronze color with a sense of power, and fiercely struck Hei Ying's back. On his right fist, the majestic and powerful Flame Emperor Xuan seemed to be burning, emitting scorching high temperatures.

  Heiying faced Mufeng's full-force attack, also frightened to the point of his soul flying away, and a majestic Xuanli burst out, his body rapidly dashing forward.

  But the opportunity that Mofeng had been waiting for with great difficulty could not be let go so easily. Under Jiuying's strange and unpredictable footsteps, he followed again, and a punch heavily hit the black shadow's back.

  Heiying indeed lived up to his reputation as a master of the Form Boundary, for in this moment of life and death crisis, he concentrated all his mystical energy on his back heart, and withstood Mufeng's heavy punch.

  Bang!

  When Mufeng's fist heavily slammed into the black shadow's back, the muscles on the faces of the six black-clothed spectators twitched as if they had been electrocuted. If this punch were to land on themselves, it would be enough to take several lives.

  The dark shadow let out a "wow" and spat out a mouthful of blood, taking advantage of Mu Feng's punch to retreat far away.

  "Form boundary, indeed formidable!" Mu Feng thought to himself. The previous blow had exhausted eight or nine out of ten of his Xuanli, yet unexpectedly it hadn't caused any substantial harm to the black shadow.

  Watching the black shadow disappear into the distance, Mu Feng turned around and looked towards the six men in black.

  Six men in black clothes looked at me, I looked at you, and they suddenly retreated. One punch blasted their Seventh Brother, but the six of them couldn't do anything about it. This young man was actually able to do it, and his combat power thoroughly scared them out of their wits.

  Mo Feng saw these black-clad men escape and didn't even have time to catch his breath, then he was running with the Nine Shadows' Void Step, escaping in another direction.

  He had just consumed a lot of energy, and if these black-clothed men came to their senses and attacked again, he was afraid that he would truly have no power to resist.

  Mo Feng did not expect that following the mysterious figure in black would lead to such a fierce battle tonight, but what he least expected was that during his life-and-death struggle with Hei Ying, he finally broke through his own limits and condensed the first residual shadow of Jiuying Huashenbu.

  If it weren't for this lingering shadow, Mu Feng would have wanted to slip away tonight, but it's probably not that simple.

  Mo Feng found a secluded spot, sat down cross-legged, took out an Xuanli Pill, rolled it around his tongue, and swallowed it into his belly. The Yang Dominance Technique immediately started running, refining the Xuanli energy produced by the Xuanli Pill.

  Sitting like this for a whole evening, until the break of dawn, Mu Feng opened his eyes, and the black pupils shone with confident light. He lightly spat out a mouthful of turbid air, and then stood up, the Xuanli in his body had fully recovered, and even made some progress.

  He clearly felt that last night's battle had greatly improved his cultivation. Every actual combat could compress and refine the Xuanli in his body, making the Xuanli in his body more pure and solid.

  "It seems that my own strength is still not enough to compete with the strong ones who have formed their domains! I must continue to strengthen my cultivation!" Murong said quietly.

  Last night's battle was actually extremely perilous. Although I managed to wound the opponent with a full-force strike, I also basically lost my combat strength. If it weren't for intimidating the other black-robed men, I'm afraid I would have really lost my life.

  Mo Feng's heart and spirit stirred, and the Nine Shadows technique was naturally unleashed. If someone were to watch from the side, they would definitely notice that every time Mo Feng moved, there would be a residual shadow condensed in his original position.

  However, this residual shadow lasted for a very short time. Before Mu Feng condensed the second residual shadow, the first one had already disappeared.

  The power of Nine Shadows' Void Step lies in condensing nine residual shadows into one breath, delivering a fatal blow to the opponent in an instant strike at extreme speed.

  This kind of body method martial art can be achieved through great accomplishment, and can be used for both fighting and escaping. For a martial artist, it is an excellent auxiliary martial art.

  Mo Feng followed the steps and incantation of Jiuying Huaxu Bu for several repetitions before stopping, and he was also quite satisfied with the effect of this practice.

  However, to improve this kind of body method martial arts, it is also required that one's own cultivation reaches a fairly high level. According to Mu Feng's estimation, if you want to cultivate the Nine Shadows Transformation Void Step to perfection, your own cultivation must at least reach the peak of the Shaping Realm.

  This difficulty was already within expectations. If this martial art could be cultivated to perfection so easily, it wouldn't be called a mysterious stage martial art.

  The gap between a Qi-refining stage martial artist and a Nascent Soul stage martial artist was indeed enormous. Even if it were a half-step Nascent Soul strong practitioner, compared to a Nascent Soul initial small success strong practitioner, the difference would not be just a little bit. Last night, Mu Feng's one punch, if it hit a half-step Nascent Soul martial artist's back heart, even if it couldn't kill him, it could still thoroughly cripple him.

  Thinking of the punch last night, Mufeng suddenly came up with an idea: If Heart Flame could be applied to his own martial arts, would it help improve his martial power?

  Years ago, Mufeng watched Qingfeng Tianzun and Heiyan Xiezun's battle, seeing Heiyan Xiezun incorporate the Devouring Heart Flame into his martial arts, greatly increasing its power.

  Mo Feng took a deep breath, his spirit condensed, and his Xuanli converged on his right fist. With a sudden burst of energy, he struck the giant boulder beside him, sending multiple fist shadows imbued with scorching Xuanli crashing into the rock.

  Unlike before, countless black spots were crawling on the surface of the Xuanli Fist's shadow, which was precisely the Devouring Heart Flame that Mufeng had activated with his Heart Spirit and Yangming Xuanyuan.

  The giant stone exploded into powder under the fist shadow's power, and the powder that filled the sky instantly turned into nothingness under the high temperature of this devouring heart flame.

  Mo Feng's face couldn't help but reveal a hint of joy, not expecting that the power of merging with Xin Yan's Heart Flame would actually surge so violently. If it were usual times, shattering such a massive boulder would be extremely laborious even if he could do it.

  However, such manipulation is extremely costly in terms of spiritual power and mental energy, and the Heart Flame will weaken slightly after each use, only recovering after absorbing spiritual power.

  This made Demu Feng also somewhat depressed, his own cultivation of Xuanli was a bit insufficient, where did he get the Xuanli to absorb for the Devouring Heart Flame.

  Although using Devouring Heart Flame on myself and this group of Heaven and Earth Odd Flames is not a small loss, the power is beyond imagination, and this can also become a trump card for my own battle.

  Mo Feng still felt that his own strength was truly too weak, even a casual Form Boundary initial stage strong person himself could barely cope with, let alone the Transcendence Boundary and Divine Path Boundary strong persons above.

  Especially after Mo Feng watched the duel between Qingfeng Tianzun and Hei Yan Xie Zun, two of the strongest beings on the continent, his desire to pursue the pinnacle of martial arts grew stronger.
