Huo Jinxing faced Xu Feng's Dark Destroyer in the Sky, unable to effectively close the distance and could only passively defend.
However, things were far from simple. As Huo Jinxing flew out of the dense forest, trying to regain the upper hand, he saw Xu Feng's Spiritual Arrow suddenly change from a single shot of three arrows to a barrage of arrows.
Initially thinking that he could evade Xu Feng's arrows with his speed in the Sky, he was caught off guard when the Spiritual Arrow transformed into Arrow Rain, raining down upon him relentlessly, leaving no escape.
In a panic, three arrows struck him, and Huo Jinxing plummeted from the Sky.
At this moment, Xu Feng and Huo Jinxing were already two hundred miles away. The cultivators rushing along the road only knew that they were fighting in the distance and had no idea who would win or lose. Logically, it seemed certain that Xu Feng would be the one to die; the only uncertainty was whether it would be quick or slow.
Huo Jinxing was hit by arrows in his chest, abdomen, and legs, each wound leaving a fist-sized hole. The severe injuries to his chest and abdomen affected his spiritual energy flow. Huo Jinxing fell rapidly, filled with disbelief; this was impossible—it had to be an accident.
Bang! Huo Jinxing crashed heavily to the ground from a height of a hundred feet, his powerful body smashing into a tree as thick as a barrel. He then created a large crater in the ground, sinking deeply into the earth with only his head left exposed.
Xu Feng landed nearby, standing with his legs apart ten steps away from Huo Jinxing. This posture made Huo Jinxing, at the Divine Separation Stage, feel an immense sense of humiliation. Yet the reality before him told him he had lost; that man standing with legs apart only needed to shoot one more arrow to blow his head off.
Xu Feng had long known Huo Jinxing's identity from Huo Yin Yue's Yuan Ying. He said, "Huo Jinxing, back then you were eager to save your disciple and wanted to kill me for Hua Qian Zhi. I don't blame you for that. I did kill Huo Yin Yue; if you want revenge for your sister, I won't hold it against you. Now, just tell me why you went to Sealing Magic Gorge and what your purpose was. If you come clean, I won't kill you."
"You won't kill me?" Huo Jinxing sneered. "You won't kill me? I want to kill you! You think you can learn about Sealing Magic Gorge from me? That's wishful thinking! I want you dead in there; once you go in, you'll definitely die. Ha ha, are you scared? If you're scared, just kill me! What’s wrong? You don’t even dare to kill me? Are you afraid of Sinking Sand Valley coming after you? Oh right, I forgot—you’ve always been a coward."
Xu Feng replied coldly, "What good does it do you to provoke me like this?"
Huo Jinxing gritted his teeth and said, "Good? What good do I want? I want you dead! I want you dead..."
Boom! With a flick of Xu Feng's finger, an arrow-like energy shot out, instantly exploding Huo Jinxing's head. A white Yuan Ying screamed as it flew towards the Sky; this Yuan Ying was at least twice the size of a typical Nascent Soul Period Cultivator's Yuan Ying and moved more freely and quickly under the sunlight.
"Come here!" Xu Feng shouted angrily. Under the influence of Sorrowful Technique, Huo Jinxing's weakened Yuan Ying involuntarily moved closer. Xu Feng grabbed it and stuffed it into a bottle. Then he pulled Huo Jinxing's corpse from the ground and took his ring and Supreme Meteor Hammer.
Killing and looting, this was Xu Feng's specialty, and he was exceptionally skilled at it.
With a wave of his hand, Huo Jinxing turned to ashes, and Xu Feng quickly darted away.
After flying five hundred miles in one breath, he released his spiritual sense but found no one following him. Only then did Xu Feng stop. Due to the different direction he had fled, he had already created a distance of nearly a thousand miles from the area near the front mountain.
Around him, numerous Golden Core monsters roamed back and forth. Seeing Xu Feng's formidable strength, they dared not approach to devour him. A few bold beasts followed at a distance, hoping that Xu Feng would suddenly fall ill.
Even as death approached, Huo Jinxing remained defiant, cursing loudly from within the bottle. Xu Feng pretended not to hear and found an inconspicuous cave in the dense forest. He set up a simple defensive alert formation at the entrance.
The cave had been left by a Spirit Cat and was very clean inside. Xu Feng lit a fire to disperse the odors within the cave before sitting down and taking out Huo Jinxing's Yuan Ying.
Huo Jinxing continued to rage, but Xu Feng tightened his grip on his neck and said, "I offered you a way out, but you insisted on seeking death. You're much more foolish than Huo Yin Yue; at least she knew how to beg for mercy."
"I... I want to kill... you," Huo Jinxing screamed.
"Your sister wanted to kill me and ended up dead. Now you want to kill me and have fallen into my hands. Why should I let someone who wants to kill me live? If I didn't have the strength to deal with Divine Separation Stage practitioners, would I come here to die? You can't even withstand my arrow energy yet claim you can kill me; you truly don't know your own limits." With a tighter grip, Huo Jinxing immediately wilted.
After advancing to the Mid Stage of Nascent Soul, Xu Feng believed he had the strength to contend with Early Stage Spirit Separation practitioners. Encountering several Divine Separation Practitioners battling against a Purple Crab in the Chaotic Sea further confirmed his suspicions. In the end, he activated his Sword Formation and severely injured a Transformation Stage Beast. Xu Feng was confident that he now possessed the ability to kill Mid Stage Spirit Separation cultivators.
Xu Feng avoided the four members of Xiaoyao Sect simply because he didn't want to put himself in a situation where he would be outnumbered four to one. It was laughable that Huo Jinxing couldn't even withstand the power of Dark Destroyer yet boasted about wanting to slice Xu Feng a hundred times.
A ball of flame enveloped Huo Jinxing, who woke up from his unconsciousness. "You... can't do this," he said weakly. He had already realized his fate and wished desperately that Xu Feng would give him another chance; if only he could reveal the secret of this mission, perhaps Xu Feng would spare him. But he no longer had that opportunity.
Xu Feng activated his Soul Refining Technique and quickly began to devour Huo Jinxing's Yuan Ying.
A continuous stream of Jinxi spiritual energy surged into Xu Feng's body. Huo Jinxing and Huo Yin Yue, the sibling duo, both practiced the Golden Attribute Cultivation Method, yet they were all working to benefit Xu Feng. The spiritual energy reserve of a Divine Separation Stage cultivator was equivalent to that of five Late Stage of Nascent Soul cultivators. With the infusion of Huo Jinxing's spiritual energy, Xu Feng's Jinxi realm effortlessly reached the peak of Mid Stage of Nascent Soul.
Next, a large amount of Divine Separation Stage law information was refined one by one. Guided by these laws, Xu Feng finally broke through the bottleneck of Jinxi at Mid Stage of Nascent Soul and advanced to Late Stage of Nascent Soul in one go. Drawing parallels, with the similar laws, Xu Feng took advantage of the situation and also pushed the Fire Element One Star, which was at its peak, into Late Stage of Nascent Soul.
In the Chaotic Sea, Farming transferred all his spiritual energy to Xu Feng but lacked the laws. Thus, although he had enough spiritual energy, he could not advance to Late Stage of Nascent Soul. However, this time it was completely different for Huo Jinxing. Xu Feng seized and devoured him entirely, refining Huo Jinxing thoroughly; whether it was insights into laws or cultivation methods, he accepted them all without hesitation—how could he not advance?
Huo Jinxing completely vanished. Xu Feng clenched his fists, and a tremendous force surged forth, shaking the cave and causing rocks to tumble as he advanced to Late Stage of Nascent Soul. His spiritual energy further increased, allowing him to withstand attacks from Early Stage of Spirit Separation without losing ground due to his powerful physique and Arrow Meridian.
Huo Jinxing's Supreme Meteor Hammer was left suspended in space. This treasure was powerful, but Xu Feng had a special fondness for blades and thus did not regard this Meteor Hammer highly.
After refining Huo Jinxing, Xu Feng calmed himself and searched through Huo Jinxing's Yuan Ying imprint for information related to the upcoming Sealing Magic Gorge.
It turned out that Sinking Sand Valley belonged to Yue Ren Mountain Villa, which was ranked seventh among Zhenguo Xian Dao sects. This time, Yue Ren Mountain Villa received a Secret Order requiring them to send a Divine Separation Stage cultivator to participate in the Sealing Magic Gorge expedition. The main task was to monitor the actions of Pingdao Sect and Li Hua Palace in Sealing Magic Gorge and take action if necessary.
The purpose of Pingdao Sect and Li Hua Palace's expedition was likely to discover the Sorrowful Technique left behind by the Heartbroken Ancestor. As soon as the Sorrowful Technique appeared, they would be ready to seize it.
To preserve their own strength, Yue Ren Mountain Villa delegated this task to subordinate sects; Sinking Sand Valley was one such sect. However, Sinking Sand Valley was also cunning and knew that this trip to Sealing Magic Gorge might be perilous. In the end, they only sent Huo Jinxing under the pretext of their weak strength.
However, from the situation at hand, it was clear that more than just Yue Ren Mountain Villa received the Secret Order; over a dozen Separation of Spirit experts had come from just the Sword Lake area alone. Among them were four from Xiaoyao Sect and Qiao Li from Purple Cloud Sect—people whom Huo Jinxing recognized. They all understood each other’s intentions; they were allies with a common goal.
The other four lakes in Five Lakes also had cultivators participating. The strength on Huo Jinxing's side was formidable; even he did not know how many allies he had or which sects they belonged to.
Such significant movements naturally did not escape the notice of Pingdao Sect and Li Hua Palace. These two sects were ranked fifth and fourth respectively, so their strength could be imagined. Consequently, both sects released news inviting a group of assistants; how many exactly remained unknown to Huo Jinxing.
Xu Feng now understood Fang Youxin's predicament. This Sealing Magic Gorge expedition was essentially a battle for survival; before distinguishing friend from foe, he dared not have too much interaction with Xu Feng. Li Hongxiu came from Li Hua Palace, and since Fang Youxin was Li Hongxiu's disciple, he naturally belonged to Li Hua Palace as well.
The Xu family has had a long-standing relationship with the Pingdao Sect. Although a marriage alliance did not materialize, their feelings remain intact. Xu Ruchu is deeply in love with Shen Qian, the Fourth Young Master of the Shen Family. The Xu family's entry into the Sealing Magic Gorge is likely to assist the Pingdao Sect.
Who issued the Secret Order that holds such great influence? However, Huo Jinxing cannot recall the identity of the person behind this Secret Order. Only a few can mobilize such power, and Yue Ren Mountain Villa is already ranked seventh. Removing the fifth-ranked Pingdao Sect, the fourth-ranked Li Hua Palace, and the third-ranked Shennong Valley, the mastermind behind it all is becoming clear.
Zheguo seems to be on the brink of a great calamity, and countless lives may be lost in this disaster.
What is Xu Ruchu, a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, doing in Sealing Magic Gorge? Is it truly for that Heartbroken Ancestor's Sorrowful Technique?
Sorrowful Technique? Isn't that the cultivation method left by the Sad Young Master? This cultivation method is in Xu Feng's possession. Given its power, it shouldn't have sparked such fierce competition among various factions in Zheguo.
Sad Young Master and Heartbroken Ancestor? From their names, both seem like historical figures from China: one named Laozi and the other Sunzi...
As Xu Feng pondered, he suddenly jumped up. He realized a critical issue: in his eagerness to refine Huo Jinxing, he completely lost track of time. Now that he thought about it, at least three hours had already passed.
Three hours, plus travel time from Liuxiang Kingdom, means he has long missed the date he agreed upon with Xu Ruchu.
"Something must not have gone wrong." Xu Feng rushed out of the cave, disregarding concealment, and soared into the sky like a shooting star towards Sealing Magic Gorge.
