Chapter Seventeen: The Deviated Wind Seal Emerges

  Lu Yifeng, who was waiting for death, did not feel the giant python's attack after closing his eyes, and opened them again.

  "Huge...!" Lu Yufeng saw that the giant python had fallen to the ground just a few feet in front of him.

  "Ah... human..." The giant python stared at Lu Yu Feng with wide eyes, its gaze filled with unwillingness. Its breathing slowed down and eventually stopped. The giant python never thought that it would fall to a mere ant in the Nascent Soul stage.

  "What's going on?" Lu Yefeng slowly sat up, only to find that the lower half of the giant python had been smashed to pieces by his palm earlier. The python's attack just now was just its last struggle before dying, a desperate counterattack due to its unwillingness to give up.

  "It's good that it didn't get too close, otherwise I would have definitely died at the hands of this dying python." Lu Yufeng saw that the python was already dead and couldn't help but feel a wave of luck.

  Looking at the giant python's reluctant gaze, Lu Yifeng didn't know what to say either. It started with his own curiosity, chasing a small snake with flower patterns, and then he would enter the snake den, kill the snakes, provoke a demonic beast giant python to attack him, and then he killed the giant python, which led to the demon spirit giant python's pursuit of revenge against him, but in the end, the giant python died at his hands. The cycle of cause and effect made it impossible to blame anyone.

  If you don't kill the demon python yourself, then the demon python will definitely kill you to avenge its son.

  "It's not about right or wrong, you and I are standing on opposite sides. If I don't kill you, I'll definitely have a hard time staying alive. Alas, even if I expose your corpse in the wilderness, it would be difficult to get rid of this evil spirit." Lu Yuefeng dragged his heavily injured body, pulling the giant python into the massive pit that had been blasted out by his palm, and then buried it with mud.

  "Now, I've buried your physical body, and that's my way of making amends with you. Let's consider our karma settled!" Lu Yuefeng covered up the giant python's corpse and turned to leave. He discovered that he had become somewhat kinder due to his peaceful life over the past few years. To think that when he was in the Blood Kill Squad, he would never have considered whether the corpses of his enemies would be dragged away by wild beasts, yet now he was actually burying the body of a giant python that had tried to kill him.

  "Unexpectedly, the power of this divine art is so great! From now on, I'll call you Qi Feng Yin! Qi Lu Feng, seal the world!" Lu Yuefeng sat on a mountain peak in the demon forest, gazing at the rising sun, still sighing about the great battle from a few days ago.

  "If it wasn't for the last-minute arrival of the Wind Blade, I would have been swallowed by the giant python by now. Although I won the battle against the giant python, my physical body suffered severe injuries from the collisions with the python. Without any medicinal pills, this injury will take at least a year to recover from."

  "When the giant python asked me if I killed his son, why didn't I dare to admit it? Was I afraid? Maybe... But this kind of situation will never happen again. If you kill, you kill, a good man should not be afraid to take responsibility! Lu Yufeng couldn't help but think of his senior brother who was lying in Yunyang Sect, still able to face death calmly, and what was he afraid of?"

  "Hmph, I am not a person who fears death! A man of iron bones, even in death, must stand tall! Because when we were alive, we once stood tall and proud! Lu Yufeng's heart kept repeating the words he had said before, and every time he thought of this, his heart would rise with a sense of heroism! In the face of an unbeatable enemy, still standing proudly and refusing to yield, is a responsibility, is a commitment, is an acknowledgment and promise to one's own conscience."

  "How can we negate our own responsibility just because the opponent is strong? As my senior brother said, 'We are not afraid of death. What's done is done. If we fear death, how can we be considered men who hold up the sky and stand on earth?' Lu Yufeng stood up, looking at the rising sun, and couldn't help but understand his senior brother's grand passion."

  "Hahaha... I don't know why I came to this world! But since I'm here, then this world should have a stage for me!" Lu Yufeng thought silently.

  At this moment, Lu Yu Feng gained a deeper understanding of his own heart and for the first time, had a plan for the road ahead after crossing over.

  "Now the most important thing is to recover from the injury, and then continue to practice in the Youlin Forest. My own practice has not ended yet, there are still spiritual medicines that I need, and with just one more flavor medicine, I can complete the set." Lu Yu Feng turned his head and walked towards the middle of the mountain, where there was a hidden cave he had discovered.

  The forest is very dangerous, if there isn't a good hiding place, then before Lu Yu Feng's injuries are healed, he would probably have already entered the belly of a demonic beast. As for food, although his body has injuries, relying on Lu Yu Feng's understanding of nature and some experience in wilderness survival learned from when he was a soldier, hunting some animals that haven't become demonic beasts yet isn't a problem.

  Time always passes quickly, and this phenomenon is even more pronounced in monks.

  "Alas, it's been almost a year now. My injuries have healed to the ninth level, and as long as I don't encounter any evil spirits, there shouldn't be any major problems. However, my luck shouldn't be this bad, right?" Lu Yufeng had been hiding in the cave for nearly a year, constantly circulating his internal spiritual energy to repair his injuries, which had finally healed to the ninth level. Occasionally, some opened-spirited demonic beasts would intrude into Lu Yufeng's hiding cave and become his food."

  "It's time to continue the training, and there are still some spiritual medicines that can only be found by going deeper...". Lu Yufeng stood up on the mountain top, looking at the rising sun. He was also full of enthusiasm for the upcoming training.

  Today's sunrise was blocked by a mass of dark clouds, with only a faint ray of sunlight shining through. Before long, the sun finally broke through the cloud cover and rose steadily.

  "I am the rising sun, even if I encounter dark clouds blocking my way, I will break through the obstacles and shine with infinite light!" Lu Yufeng looked at the scene and made up his mind.

  "Qī Fēng Yìn!" Lù Yǔ Fēng stood at the mountain top, his hands forming a seal. For this whole year, Lù Yǔ Fēng had been recuperating and contemplating the subtleties of Qī Fēng Yìn every day. He believed that his current Qī Fēng Yìn should be greatly different from what it was a year ago.

  Lü Yu's deviated wind seal did not strike out, but instead continued to condense and gather spiritual energy.

  "Today's Qi Feng Yin is much faster than my condensation speed a year ago. A year ago, I spent almost three breaths of time to condense the Qi Feng Yin, and if it were in battle, three breaths would be enough for my opponent to take my life. But today, it only took one breath to reach the same power as last year."

  "Ah... I'm in trouble!" Lu Yifeng was thinking about the power of Qi Feng Yin when he didn't notice the spiritual energy gathering, and immediately there was a burst of alarm.

  "Whoa, I wasn't paying attention for a moment and it's actually gathered such immense power." The spiritual energy condensed by the Deviated Wind Seal had already exceeded the range that Lu Yu Feng could control. If it were still within the controllable range, he could have dispersed it. But now, if he tried to disperse it, it would definitely explode right next to him, and Lu Yu Feng couldn't withstand the explosion of such a powerful Deviated Wind Seal.

  "What a mess... Now I can only get rid of the Qifeng Seal, fortunately it's not in a populated area, otherwise, who knows what would happen." Lu Yufeng made up his mind and looked at a place at the foot of the mountain, stretched out his hand, and threw out the Qifeng Seal. The majestic power of the Qifeng Seal even made Lu Yufeng himself feel terrified!

  "Boom...." A loud noise, Lu Yu Feng saw the place where the giant palm hit presented a huge palm print, all the giant trees that were hit by the palm print were blasted to the ground. The birds and beasts in the forest were frightened, and they all ran away in all directions. If they didn't run, what if something like this fell on their heads again? Wouldn't that be the end of them?

  "The momentum of this Wind Blade is great, but it's far from the giant's Wind Blade that I saw in the illusion. Lu Yuefeng had also discovered early on that his own Wind Blade was vastly different from the giant's, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what exactly was different."

  "Let's hurry up and retreat, although we're on the outskirts of the demon forest. With such a big commotion just now, if any demons appear, it'll be dangerous!" Lu Yu Feng also knew that the previous Qi Feng Yin might have caused trouble, but there was no other way, he had to release it. Now it's still better to retreat quickly.

  Lu Yu Feng continued his training on the outskirts of the demon forest, relying solely on hand-to-hand combat with the demonic beasts since he had no weapons. Fortunately, he hadn't encountered any demon spirits yet; otherwise, it would be unclear who would emerge victorious. Relying on his formidable close-quarters combat skills and his Nine Layers of Qi Refining cultivation, Lu Yu Feng was undoubtedly unbeatable within the Qi Refining realm.
