Chapter 28: Overwhelming Aura

  The giant python had long discovered that Lu Yifeng was chasing after it, and seeing the long knife that Lu Yifeng was wielding, it suddenly accelerated and dodged the attack of Lu Yifeng's long knife. However, it forgot that the characteristic of Huayuan Boundary is that the true yuan does not disperse even when the body leaves, and Lu Yifeng's long knife slashed out a blade of light nearly one zhang long, heavily chopping down on the giant python's tail, cutting off nearly one zhang length of its tail.

  "Ahhh..." The giant python, in pain, turned around and pounced on Lu Yu Feng, its eyes now bloodshot. It was either him or the beast that would die, having forgotten about the threat of Qi Feng Yin.

  Lu Yu Feng hastily dodged to the left, avoiding the giant python's attack. With a backhand slash, he counterattacked the python, cutting off its tail. Although the python had lost its tail, its cultivation far surpassed Lu Yu Feng's. After dodging Lu Yu Feng's knife, it stared intently at him from a short distance away.

  Lu Yu Feng slapped another palm at the giant python, which had been staring at him since he raised his right hand. As soon as it saw the slap coming, it dodged to the side with a swift movement.

  "Hmph, I knew you could dodge it, come again!" Lu Yu Feng knew the giant python could dodge, so when it flashed its body, he slapped out with his Wind Slashing Seal once more, heavily slapping towards the giant python.

  "Ah! Youngster, I want you..." The giant python's words were cut off as it was slapped heavily into the ground by Lu Yufeng.

  "Hmph, see if you're dead this time!" Mu Feng and Qi Feng Yin looked at the giant python after the dust on the ground had settled. They saw that its entire body convulsed a few times before it stopped moving altogether. It was clearly dead.

  Lu Yu Feng looked at the giant python's corpse, without a hint of sympathy. The killer shall be killed by others.

  Lu Yu Feng turned around and continued to walk deeper into the demon forest. This battle, although the enemy was much stronger than the violent bear, Lu Yu Feng did not suffer much injury. All of this was thanks to the help of the green spiritual energy on himself.

  Lü Yu Feng gained a lot from this battle. Since it's a life-and-death feud, then don't hold back when taking action. There's no need to consider what should or shouldn't be killed. If the opponent has chosen to become one's enemy, then one must be prepared for them to lose their life at one's hands.

  Only when you have thoroughly defeated your opponent can you be safe yourself.

  Lu Yu Feng was also depressed, had he stirred up a hornet's nest? One after another, many snakes had already intercepted and killed Lu Yu Feng.

  "It's just that I should return to the sect as soon as possible. I heard that once I reach the Huayuan realm, I can choose two treasures from the Treasure Pavilion, but it's not too urgent." Lu Yufeng glanced at the long knife at his waist, and this knife was of good quality, allowing him to fully exert his Huayuan realm cultivation.

  "When I reach the state of Huayuan, what I lack now is Gongfa. With Gongfa, my strength will increase a lot."

  ....

  A rustling thicket, a figure jumped out from inside. Upon closer inspection, it was indeed Lu Yu Feng, but the current Lu Yu Feng was no longer his original self. His clothes were tattered and worn out, revealing that he had been through many fierce battles.

  "This sleep was too good!" Lu Yufeng slept for three days and three nights. As a cultivator, it's usually not a big deal to go without sleep for a long time, but Lu Yufeng was really exhausted.

  A few days ago, Lu Yu Feng had just encountered a tiger demon and fought for hundreds of rounds. Although the tiger demon was no match for Lu Yu Feng, it retreated calmly. In that battle, Lu Yu Feng exhausted his entire body's true yuan and casually found a secluded thicket to enter a natural state, falling asleep as soon as he lay down.

  This is already the fifth year that Lu Yu Feng has left the sect. In these five years, Lu Yu Feng broke through from Na Qi 9th layer to Hua Yuan initial stage, and his true yuan became extremely thick. Lu Yu Feng's clothes have all been torn apart, and now he really entered a wild man state, with messy hair and only a piece of cloth wrapped around his waist.

  "Now I've ventured quite far into the Demon Forest, and the demon spirits I encounter are getting stronger and stronger. Many places are giving off auras that make my heart skip a beat." Lu Yu Feng thought to himself as he silently walked forward.

  Suddenly, Lu Yu Feng stopped in his tracks because he found a huge and deep chasm appearing before him. He looked around but couldn't see the end of it. Lu Yu Feng was worried for a moment. Although cultivators who had broken through to the Huayuan realm possessed the ability to fly short distances, this flight wasn't true flight, but rather a kind of levitation. Moreover, it consumed a lot of True Qi, so generally no one wanted to do that. Plus, Lu Yu Feng thought he couldn't even levitate across such a long distance!

  "Ah! This is... this is..." Suddenly, Lu Yufeng's face showed a shocked expression, because he found that the two sides of this deep ravine were extremely flat, just like they were cut out with a knife.

  "This can't be... someone split it open? Definitely!" Lu Yufeng was extremely certain, if it were due to natural collapse, the crack shouldn't be so smooth.

  "If he had used his full strength to chop, it would have only chopped out a ditch about one zhang long and two feet deep. This person is too strong!" Just as Lu Yifeng was thinking of a way to cross the deep ditch, a momentum that made Lu Yifeng's heart palpitate suddenly came from the opposite side, and this momentum was slowly increasing. Lu Yifeng knew that someone or a demon was breaking through.

  "It must be a demon clan, humans wouldn't dare to openly break through in the Demon Forest!" Lu Yu Feng affirmed instantly.

  "Roar!" With a loud roar, the momentum from the opposite side had reached its peak, and Lu Yufeng was already being pressed down by this momentum, his legs slightly bent, but he still persisted.

  Judging from this momentum, the aura on the opposite side is not aimed at Lu Yufeng alone, but rather the aura emitted by the breakthrough. Otherwise, Lu Yufeng would have been suppressed by this aura long ago.

  "Roar!" The opposite side let out another loud roar, and this time the atmosphere was more joyful. It seemed that it had broken through, which made things difficult for Lu Yufeng. Originally, Lu Yufeng was already struggling to hold on, but now he was directly shaken by the roar and spat out a mouthful of blood. Immediately after, a cracking sound came from his legs, and Lu Yufeng instantly fell to the ground. If he hadn't fallen down, Lu Yufeng's legs would have been completely crippled!

  Lu Yufeng immediately saw a shadow rising in the sky opposite him, and due to the distance, he couldn't see clearly what kind of demon it was, but heard a loud laughter in the sky.

  This person instantly disappeared, and Lu Yufeng slowly got up, quickly retreating towards the outer edge of the demon forest. Lu Yufeng knew that this strong opponent would not deign to attack a weakling like himself, but just in case, it was better to retreat. From this encounter, he could see the strength of the opposing demon tribe, which was far beyond his own abilities. The opponent's aura alone could suppress him, unless they stood still and allowed him to slowly gather his Wind Blade Seal, and even then, it was uncertain whether he could harm them.

  Although Lu Yu Feng had been walking around the You Lin for a few years, he was fighting and advancing at the same time. Even with the green spiritual energy, he spent most of his time healing his wounds. So, after about two months, Lu Yu Feng saw the shadow of Wang Tian Peak.

  "It's still here that feels so familiar!" This was a sigh of emotion from Lu Yu Feng as he gazed at Wang Tian Peak, the place where he had stayed the longest and also obtained the Spiritual Liquid, breaking through to the Huan Yuan Realm.

  "It seems it's time to return to the sect, although I'm not in a hurry for weapons, but cultivating skills is what I urgently need, and there are still many questions that need to be answered by the elders of the sect." Lu Yufeng made up his mind, and now he set off back to the sect, then returned to the inner sect to receive the cultivation method.

  Lü Yu's wind passed through Wang Tianfeng and walked out of the demon forest.

  Lu Yu Feng walked out of the demon forest, having spent nearly three months inside. He looked back at the forest with a mix of emotions on his face. Five years ago when he first arrived here, he was still in the Nascent Soul stage, but now he had reached the early stages of the Yuan Foundation stage and could hold his own against others, as long as they didn't have extremely powerful techniques. Lu Yu Feng no longer had a mount to ride, so he slowly made his way towards the city on foot. However, this was the demon forest, and ordinary people didn't dare approach it too closely. If one were to walk, it would take at least two months to reach the nearest town. But Lu Yu Feng wasn't in a hurry because he had the rapidly recovering green spiritual energy that allowed him to travel quickly while cultivating along the way. As long as his true yuan wasn't depleted, he could stop and recover whenever he wanted, making progress on both his journey and cultivation. Traveling thousands of miles was also a form of cultivation.

  ....

  After nearly a month of rushing, Lu Yufeng finally arrived at a small town. Fortunately, before entering the city, Lu Yufeng had already dealt with his hair, although he no longer had clothes, but he was wearing a tiger skin around his waist that he had casually killed, dressed as a hunter. The local customs here are extremely fierce due to their proximity to the demon forest, so Lu Yufeng's hunter attire didn't seem too out of place.

  "Finally saw one of my own kind!" Although I've seen many demon spirits take human form in the Demon Forest, it's still not as intimate as being with my own tribe. And here, I don't have to worry about being ambushed or struggling to survive.

  Lu Yu Feng's body no longer had the common currency of humans, but the tiger skin wrapped around his body was of good quality. He exchanged it for a set of clothes at a clothing store and even got some extra silver coins.

  "I didn't expect this tiger skin to be so valuable, if I had brought out all the demon spirits' skins that I killed and sold them, it would have been worth a lot of money! Anyway, my storage ring is empty... " Lu Yufeng regretted not collecting some furs earlier. But thinking again, the demon beasts he killed were mostly torn apart, even if he had brought them out, they wouldn't be worth much money.

  "Now go buy a horse first, this way, you can save yourself a lot of trouble." Lu Yufeng looked at the horses in the horse market, picked out the best one, but it was far inferior to the horse he had ridden out from the sect. This wasn't nonsense, that was a spirit horse, specially for cultivators to ride on the road.

  Lu Yu Feng mounted his horse and slowly headed towards the Men's Sect, the journey was very far, Lu Yu Feng wasn't in a hurry, due to the bumpy ride on horseback, he also didn't dare to refine his meridians.

  .....

  Lu Yu Feng had been rushing for half a year and was finally returning to his sect. He rode his horse into Qing Yuan City.

  "I wonder if Brother Fengchen's injuries have healed, and also Sister Xiner, who led me into the cultivation world back then. Since entering Yunyang Sect, I've only seen her a few times. This time when I return to Menpai, I must properly thank Sister Yu'er. Lu Yufeng has always felt grateful towards Fengchen and Nangong Xiner for leading him into the cultivation world. If it weren't for them, he would probably still be an ordinary person struggling in the secular world."
