Xu Feng remained unfazed; this sword strike could not harm him, which was to be expected. Judging by the sword's power alone, this person was surprisingly on par with the double-boosted Xu Feng. If only he knew that the sword strength of Xu Feng at the Foundation Establishment Mid-Stage was not inferior to that of Hua Du.
"Yan Da? Third place in the Immortal Path Conference?" The Skinny High Monk sneered and said, "It seems you have been hiding your strength, even switching to a high-grade sword. However, in front of me, you can only run for your life."
"Some words come too early and turn into nonsense." Although Xu Feng was not confident he could kill his opponent, escaping unscathed was not a problem at all.
The Skinny High Monk used Wood Element Technique, and Xu Feng's Fire-Earth Dual Cultivation could not counter him. Not wanting to reveal his other three attributes too early, he could only rely on his rapid recovery ability to withstand the fight.
"Die!" The Skinny High Monk's sword radiated brilliantly as he slashed twice. Xu Feng hurriedly dodged, but the large tree behind him was completely severed by the monk's sword energy. This was also an extremely energy-consuming technique. Xu Feng felt a surge of joy; if he wanted to play with spiritual energy, wasn't he asking for death?
Feigning panic, Xu Feng countered with his own sword strikes. Unlike the Great War where Yi Jiuzhou had exchanged sword energies fiercely, they wrapped their swords in a large amount of sword energy and engaged in combat.
Xu Feng continuously switched between Fire and Earth elements. The Earth Element's Overlord Armor combined with his Superior Spirit Armor provided greater protection than the Skinny High Monk's. However, it was evident that the skinny monk also wore Superior Spirit Armor, which weakened the sword energy that struck him.
By now it was deep night; their sword energies clashed with great force, comparable to a multi-party Great War. Not long into the battle, figures in the distance were stirred but hesitated to approach. The might of Xu Feng and the Skinny High Monk had made onlookers uneasy, deterring them from crossing boundaries.
The Skinny High Monk's expression gradually changed; his eyes flickered as if contemplating something else.
Xu Feng realized this guy was about to flee. This person must have some connection with the Calm Monk from Guiyi Sect; they likely shared some common goal.
"Consider yourself lucky," the Skinny High Monk said as he turned and ran away.
"Who knows who is truly lucky," Xu Feng remarked as he watched the Skinny High Monk escape without pursuing him. This man was highly skilled; killing him would not be easy.
Xu Feng knew that people around had already taken notice of him and did not dare linger. He took the storage bags of the four members from New Moon Sect and quickly slipped into the jungle to hide.
Before long, sounds of slaughter erupted from where he had just been, whether for treasure or because they discovered their slain companions remained unknown.
In no time, disciples from various sects gathering herbs had basically completed their tasks. The outskirts of the Otherworldly Secret Realm resembled a spiritual herb market, with various medicinal materials visible everywhere. Once settled down to gather calmly, one could easily collect dozens of century-old herbs within no time. The remaining time would be when each sect showcased their strength.
The Otherworldly Secret Realm is actually a place of death. The Loose Cultivator Alliance values the spiritual herbs found here; as long as one survives the trip, they will no longer have to worry about lacking spirit stones in the future. Disciples of the sect not only receive a share of any treasures they find but can also earn the certification of high-ranking disciples. Only those who have made outstanding contributions to their sect are eligible to compete for the Master Position, and entering the Otherworldly Secret Realm is the best way to demonstrate one's capabilities.
This is an opportunity that comes at the cost of one's life.
From the situation around It Mountain Temple, it is clear that at least three factions have prepared their own deadly tactics. Once those killing moves are unleashed, it will likely be a moment of harvesting lives.
Compared to these semi-transparent factions, Xu Feng is more worried about that Skinny High Monk he encountered earlier. This person possesses exceptional strength and is clearly not acting alone. Such a character, who is even more formidable than Hua Du, can coordinate actions according to a plan, which undoubtedly poses a disaster for all factions involved.
It is essential to clarify this in advance; otherwise, one might not even know how they died.
Xu Feng jumped onto a large tree to gain a better view. He was about twenty miles away from It Mountain Temple, and cultivators randomly teleported were rushing toward the center. The distance of twenty miles had already been halved, and members of the seven major organizations were spread out within this area, making encounters imminent.
Some cultivators who enjoy "crossing over" have strayed from their designated areas, wandering in all directions. As the distance decreases, this phenomenon will become more frequent.
Considering the timing of Calm Monk and Skinny High Monk's appearances, such individuals prefer to operate alone to facilitate their own plans. Both had participated in the Immortal Path Conference and were eliminated early on; they are the type who do not reveal their true strength but are undoubtedly more powerful than Hua Du.
Having entered the Otherworldly Secret Realm, cultivators moving in the same direction have almost all found their companions. If anyone is still acting alone at this point, it is highly likely that they are the person Xu Feng is looking for. Of course, Xu Feng himself is an exception.
With limited information at hand, he can only search based on this characteristic. Once found, he will ensure that they do not escape! Even if he cannot capture them alive, obtaining a corpse will suffice.
As more cultivators arrive, Xu Feng dares not use Wings of the Strange Dragon anymore. He travels in an arc about twenty miles from the center, navigating through the forest while heading westward.
He did not encounter any members of the Loose Cultivator Alliance while heading north. Xu Feng was not anxious; as long as he came across someone, he would approach to see if there were any suspicious mysterious experts. After battling with two individuals consecutively, Xu Feng has developed some intuition regarding such people.
Crossing from due north to due west covers about twenty miles as well. Given that Xu Feng's position has shifted slightly westward after several turns, within less than an hour, he entered the western jungle.
While crossing through the main path on the west side, Xu Feng finally encountered three members of the Loose Cultivator Alliance. However, he did not call out to them; it would be pointless since corpses do not respond.
Among these three individuals, two had participated in the Immortal Path Conference at Wuhua Island, while another hailed from Black Wind Stronghold. Their clothing was tattered and covered in sword marks, suggesting they had fought fiercely before dying. Strangely enough, their storage bags remained intact; even after killing them, their belongings were not taken.
Buried in peace, wealth is just an external possession, so leave it to me. Xu Feng took down the storage bags of the four individuals and was about to dig a pit to bury them when he suddenly heard urgent sounds around him. Five disciples from the New Moon Sect quickly surrounded him, and at the forefront was Impulsive Sister Huang Chang.
"Senior Sister, don't you think my idea is great? In just a short while, three groups of people have fallen for it," one of the New Moon Sect cultivators flattered Huang Chang.
Huang Chang's pretty face darkened as she scolded, "It's three people, not three groups. If it were three groups, could you handle it?" It turned out that the New Moon Sect had used intact corpses to attract greedy individuals. As long as someone lingered here for a moment, they would be surrounded by ambushing disciples from the New Moon Sect, outnumbered and facing dire consequences.
Xu Feng looked at these disciples; strictly speaking, they were still his senior brothers and sisters. Moreover, Huang Chang was also a disciple under Qiu Wuling. Because of Jin Liaoyuan's connection, Xu Feng would never kill anyone from Mistaken Sword Hall.
"I was just passing by and saw my fellow cultivator from the Loose Cultivator Alliance helping to collect a corpse. Everyone should not make things difficult for a good person," Xu Feng said with an expression of indifference.
"That's Yan Da, a pervert who practices both Fire and Earth dual cultivation. He ranked third in the Immortal Path Conference," the earlier flattering disciple recognized Xu Feng.
"Hmm," Huang Chang looked at Xu Feng and thoughtfully stroked her chin. "You withdrew from the duel with Sister Cai in the Final Four. I'll let you go this time as a chance for you. You can leave now." If Huang Chang really wanted to fight five against one, Xu Feng would be in trouble; if it were the Xu Feng from the Immortal Path Conference, he would undoubtedly be doomed.
Thus, Huang Chang letting him go was not just empty words.
