C59 Feng Ziyan's Persistence
Due to Feng Ziyan and Qianxun's delay in the morning, Zheng Zinuo went to Devil Beast Forest to hunt Devil Beast much later than before. But now he was not worried at all. As long as he encountered any Devil Beast below the Third Order, He could easily solve it in the time of one hourglass, and this was not under the use of the Azure Light Sword. Otherwise, it would be even faster.
Today was no exception. After wandering around the Devil Beast Forest for a while, he encountered a Rank Two Upper Grade Devil Beast, Lightning Fox. Its speed was extremely fast, but its attack and defense were relatively weak. It was a wind-attribute Devil Beast.
Originally, Zheng Zinuo didn't want to fight with this kind of Devil Beast that didn't have any offensive properties. However, that Lightning Fox's speed was much faster than his. It continuously provoked Zheng Zinuo, and even almost bit the Yin and Yang. This infuriated Zheng Zinuo.
He used his soul power to use the Traceless Snowsteps to play a game of cat and mouse with it, even though he was using the Traceless Snowsteps, which was a yellow martial art. Zheng Zinuo was still not as fast as the lightning fox, but his soul power was much more profound than the Rank Two Devil Beast. Not long after, the Lightning Fox's speed gradually slowed down. He was knocked unconscious by Zheng Zinuo's palm and captured alive.
This was also the first time Zheng Zinuo had captured a Rank Two upper Devil Beast alive. He was also very happy, and dragged it along with Yin and Yang back to the cave.
Due to Yin and Yang absorbing beast souls once every two days, every time they absorbed it, they would have to sleep for a day. However, Yin and Yang did not continue absorbing these past few days. It was estimated that the energy was saturated for a moment. It did not dare to absorb it rashly, so it was Sword Spirit who absorbed the beast souls for the next few days. Sword Spirit also told Zheng Zinuo that in these few days, he should be able to organize the alchemy formula. This made Zheng Zinuo not only nervous but also expectant.
Back at Gong Cheng's place, he also learned the theory of alchemy and artifact forging as usual. Gong Cheng did not mention anything about the more profound cyan cultivation technique. Zheng Zinuo was not greedy, and he would learn whatever he taught.
While Zheng Zinuo was studying diligently, Feng Ziyan took advantage of the time when all the senior brothers were having lunch break to sneak out of the main hall. She ran towards the Devil Beast Forest alone at the foot of the mountain.
She had been provoked by Zheng Zinuo and wanted to try the cultivation method of Zheng Zinuo fighting with the Devil Beast. After all, the effect that Zheng Zinuo showed was very obvious, so she also wanted to try it.
With great anticipation in her heart, Feng Ziyan seemed to see the day when her Soul Power Cultivation increased with each passing day. Feng Qingyun and Yurong kept praising and praising her.
With a smile on her face and full of joy, Feng Ziyan was also very excited. From the peak of the mountain, she did not stop and directly rushed into the Devil Beast Forest. Due to her urgent mood, she did not even adjust her breathing and directly walked in.
Although she was bold, the moment she suddenly entered the Devil Beast Forest, it still made her heart palpitate. She hurriedly adjusted her state of mind and slowly walked towards the interior.
About three hundred meters away, she still did not encounter a single Devil Beast. She could not help but feel a little discouraged, but she also knew that she could not go any deeper into the ___. Although it had passed the mating period of the Devil Beast, she still had to be careful. Humans only have one life, Feng Ziyan also knew how to cherish it.
Thus, she walked sideways in the direction of Earth Peak. After walking for about one hourglass, even she did not know where she was now. However, she still didn't encounter any Devil Beast. She only encountered a high-grade tier one Devil Beast, Gale Rabbit, and a low-grade tier two Devil Beast, Gale White Horse Beast. These two Devil Beast ran away when they saw her, they did not have much attack power. Therefore, they were not Feng Ziyan's cultivation target.
After going a little deeper, a bloody smell suddenly came over. It made Feng Ziyan's hair stand up. She turned her head to look. She was immediately shocked. A sheep was not sheep, but a pig was not a pig, and its whole body was grey. A Devil Beast with long needle-like long fur was eating a wild beast's head.
"Second Order Superior Grade Devil Beast, Aunt Ye!" Feng Ziyan exclaimed and unconsciously took a few steps back, waking up the Devil Beast that was eating. She turned her head and looked at Feng Ziyan.
"Primitive blood drinking..." An extremely terrifying word appeared in Feng Ziyan's mind. When she saw the hair-raising Devil Beast in front of her, Feng Ziyan actually did not have the slightest will to fight.
"Wah..." With an angry roar, the Devil Beast slowly turned around and revealed two fangs that looked like zombies. There was blood continuously dripping from the fangs as it slowly approached Feng Ziyan.
"Ah?" Feng Ziyan had never seen such a terrifying scene before. She immediately screamed in fear and fell to the ground. Her whole body felt weak and her face was pale. For a moment, she had completely lost her will to fight.
"Don't come over, don't come over..." Feng Ziyan slowly moved backwards. Her beautiful face was like a piece of white paper at this moment. It was so frightened that it was bloodless.
"Wah... Wah..." The Devil Beast seemed to be laughing at Feng Ziyan. It shouted at her in a low voice and quickened its pace. When it was three meters away from Feng Ziyan, it suddenly jumped up and threw itself at her body.
" Ah? " Feng Ziyan turned pale with fright. She subconsciously rolled her body and moved to the side.
"Rip..." Due to the excessive shock, the speed was slightly slower. The white coat on her right shoulder was directly torn open by the sharp claws of the Devil Beast. But fortunately, it did not hurt her skin.
After the strike, Feng Ziyan immediately woke up. She secretly told herself that she was here to kill the Devil Beast to cultivate and that she absolutely could not be so timid. Seeing the Devil Beast, her legs would soften.
So she rolled once more, flipped over, and called out the blue martial soul. With the support of a powerful soul force, Feng Ziyan's panicked mood immediately became much better.
"Come on, damn Devil Beast, I am not afraid of you!" Feng Ziyan nervously cried out, but that rapid breathing and violent heartbeat had already betrayed her. Fortunately, she was only facing a low-grade Devil Beast and would not observe people's thoughts.
But the Devil Beast was still a Devil Beast after all, even though its intelligence was not low. When they saw a weak human suddenly appear in front of them, It had never eaten a human's brain before. Today, it was not easy for it to meet a human who did not seem to be very strong. It must be killed. It ate her brain to see what it tasted like.
The Devil Beast of the Empress, a high-grade Tier 2 Devil Beast. Its attack, defense, and speed were all very balanced. In the ranks of Tier 2 Devil Beast, it was enough to dominate all the heroes. Its main attack method was to pounce and attack with the fangs in its mouth. There was also a very unique attacking method, which was the three needle-like hairs on its forehead. It could be separated from its body and used as a hidden weapon, but after every use, It would take three days for the hair to grow and then be used again. Therefore... Usually, this fur concealed weapon was the trump card of the Devil Beast, and it wouldn't be used unless absolutely necessary.
It was obvious that Feng Ziyan had read about this Devil Beast in Martial Cultivation World. Otherwise, she would not be able to recognize it at first glance. At this time, after a wave of extreme shock, Feng Ziyan gradually calmed down. After all, she had cultivated for so many years and was much stronger than an ordinary girl.
"Wah..." Without giving Feng Ziyan any chance to escape, the Devil Beast pushed Feng Ziyan closer to the center of the three big trees. Suddenly, a loud shout was heard and she threw herself at Feng Ziyan. She opened her mouth, which was filled with blood, and attacked Feng Ziyan's head.
"Go to hell!" Feng Ziyan took a step back and shouted loudly. She had just learned the latest Yellow Martial Technique - Phoenix Cry Technique. She didn't show any weakness as she attacked towards the neck of the Devil Beast.
In an instant, 130% of the attack power was released, and it also contained a certain amount of sound waves.
"Dong..." With a sound, the Devil Beast was just as Feng Ziyan was about to attack his neck. ... He suddenly lowered his head and used his pig nose like big mouth to block Feng Ziyan's palm. And his two front claws were still mercilessly grabbing towards Feng Ziyan's shoulder.
"Ah..."
"Wah..."
The man and beast screamed at the same time and fell backwards. Feng Ziyan was blocked by a big tree behind her, so she did not fall far before she was blocked by the tree. However, the clothes on her left shoulder were torn apart by the Devil Beast. Even the tender white skin inside was torn open. Traces of pain surged into her heart. At this moment, she was extremely regretful that she did not listen to Zheng Zinuo's words. She had come to the Devil Beast Forest to kill the Devil Beast and cultivate.
On the other hand, the Devil Beast on the opposite side was in a much better condition than Feng Ziyan. It was only pushed back three meters away by Feng Ziyan. His head felt dizzy and he did not suffer any serious injuries. After all, the strength of a tier 2 Devil Beast was close to that of a level 30 general, and the defensive power of the Devil Beast was extremely strong. Feng Ziyan's all-out attack could not deal much damage to it.
He was not in a hurry to attack. Feng Ziyan's attack just now had consumed a lot of his soul energy. She was feeling a little powerless after that. As she regulated her breathing, she was ready to fight. After experiencing a battle, she also slowly calmed down. She knew that panic and fear could not solve any problems. Her only hope now was to walk out of Devil Beast Forest alive. She would never come back again.
However, she had encountered a ferocious Devil Beast that was much stronger than her. Could she walk out of the Devil Beast Forest smoothly?
Just as Feng Ziyan was thinking about how to gather her soul power and prepare to escape, the Devil Beast had already recovered from the dizziness. It jumped up once again, but this time it became much smarter. It did not use its fangs to attack but instead turned its head sideways. It stretched out its right claw and slapped Feng Ziyan's face from top to bottom.
"Calm down, you must calm down!" Feng Ziyan kept telling herself that when she saw the Devil Beast attack again, She had just recovered a bit of soul force and instilled it into her legs before leaping. Borrowing the tree behind her, she jumped more than five meters high. Then her toes lightly tapped on the tree trunk and with a whoosh, she jumped onto a thick tree branch. Slightly swaying a bit, he sat down and panted as he recovered his soulforce. At the same time, he stared fixedly at the Devil Beast below.
Seeing the weak human in front of him suddenly climb onto the tree trunk, the Devil Beast couldn't help but become anxious. After all, although it was powerful, it didn't know how to climb trees. It had lived in the Devil Beast Forest for dozens of years and had never fought a wild beast that could climb trees. Therefore, it had temporarily lost its battle strategy. It was anxiously shouting on the ground.
Feng Ziyan did not pay attention to the Devil Beast and quickly recovered her soul power. She thought that after recovering her soul power, she would quickly run towards Xun Wind Peak and never come to this damn place again.
But things were contrary to her wishes. Before she recovered half of her soul force, The Devil Beast suddenly ran from a very far place and jumped. Four sharp claws climbed onto a thick tree trunk and then jumped. Its body actually rose up five to six meters high and forcefully slapped towards the tree trunk where Feng Ziyan was.
"Kacha..." With a sound, the ten-centimeter thick tree trunk was directly broken by the Devil Beast's claw. Feng Ziyan did not even have time to react before she followed the tree down. She fell onto the ground, causing her entire body to hurt. Her five viscera seemed to have shifted positions, and she could not get up for a moment.
"Wah..." At this moment, the Devil Beast that had landed on the ground took the opportunity to leap into the air once again, and bite towards the back of Feng Ziyan's neck.
But at this time, Feng Ziyan did not have any time to use her cultivation technique to defend. She did not even have the time to get up from the ground. She was still in a semi-conscious state. Facing the ferocious attack of the Devil Beast, she could only accept her fate.
"Could it be that I will die under this hateful Devil Beast and be its lunch?" Feng Ziyan's heart sank to the bottom of the valley and she collapsed once again. Tears flowed out uncontrollably. At this moment, she missed her parents so much.
"Bastard, don't hurt anyone!" At this critical moment, there was a shout not far away, followed by a flash of cold light that shot towards Feng Ziyan's back.
"Wah..." Following a miserable cry, the right front claw of the Devil Beast was pierced through by the cold light. Its body flew out diagonally and was fixed on a big tree.
Feng Ziyan's tightly shut eyes suddenly opened in disbelief. She turned her head and looked to the side. She saw a light blue long sword piercing through the Devil Beast's right front claw and immobilizing it on a big tree. She then turned her head to the person who sent out the sharp sword. She couldn't help but be overjoyed. It was Zheng Zinuo's elder brother, Zheng Zizhou.
"Junior sister Feng, how could it be you?" Zheng Zizhou ran over in a few flashes. He helped Feng Ziyan up, who was trembling on the ground. Feng Ziyan, who had tears streaming down her face, asked in surprise.
"Wuwu... Mr Zizhou... Wuuuu... Wuuuu..." Feng Ziyan was like a person who fell into the water and grabbed a life-saving grass. She immediately scuttled to Zheng Zizhou's arms and hugged his neck tightly as she cried.
" Dingdang... " But before Zheng Zizhou could comfort the fragile girl in his arms, he heard the sound of a long sword falling to the ground. Then, with a swoosh... Three steel needles shot out from the Devil Beast's forehead towards Feng Ziyan's back, and arrived in the blink of an eye.
Without any time to react, Zheng Zizhou hurriedly circulated his soul power and gathered it on his left palm, grabbing towards the three steel needles.
"Puchi..."
"Ah...!!"
Zheng Zizhou suddenly stood up with Feng Ziyan in his arms. He spun one round and the martial soul suddenly appeared. He instantly unleashed the Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon Hand and grabbed at the long sword on the ground.
With the long sword in his hand, Zheng Zizhou quickly waved the sword in his hand. He used all his soul power and stepped into the long sword. He shot towards the limping Devil Beast that was about to escape.
"Argh..." With a shrill scream, the Devil Beast's neck was pierced through. It wobbled a step on the ground and fell to the ground.
With the Dragon Spring Sword's 20% increase in attack power and Zheng Zizhou's current cultivation, it was still very easy to kill a heavily injured high-grade Tier 2 Devil Beast.
"Hiss..." Seeing that the Devil Beast was killed by him, Zheng Zizhou held Feng Ziyan in his right hand and sat down again. He reached out his left hand and could not help but suck in a breath of cold air. Three seven or eight centimeters long sharp needle-like fine hairs pierced through the back of his hand. This was the result of Zheng Zizhou using all of his strength to activate the tenth level of soul power defense. It could be imagined. If these three hidden weapons hit Feng Ziyan's back, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Ah? Mr Zizhou, you are injured!" Feng Ziyan saw three steel needle like hidden weapons in Zheng Zizhou's left hand. She also felt a chill run down her spine. She quickly left his arms and picked up Zheng Zizhou's left hand. She said worriedly.
" En, it doesn't matter. Fortunately, this kind of Devil Beast is not poisonous. We have to leave this place as soon as possible. We will talk after we get out of Devil Beast Forest." Zheng Zizhou gave Feng Ziyan a reassuring look, then stood up and walked to the side of the Devil Beast. He pulled it out. He inserted the Dragon Spring Sword into the sheath on his back and pulled Feng Ziyan out.
"Mr Zizhou, I... I feel weak all over. My legs are weak." Feng Ziyan said shyly.
"Oh, okay. I will carry you." Zheng Zizhou nodded and said tenderly. Then Zheng Zizhou carried Feng Ziyan out of Devil Beast Forest and came to the foot of Earth Peak.
"Junior sister Feng, hurry up and circulate your energy to adjust your breathing. Here is a beginner level Marching Pill for you." Zheng Zinuo took out a porcelain bottle from his pocket and poured out two white pill. He handed one to Feng Ziyan. He took one and walked to the bottom of the big tree. After all, there was a difference between men and women. They were all thirteen or fourteen years old teenagers. Her body was also in its early stages of development. Furthermore, Feng Ziyan's wounds were close to her chest and shoulders. Therefore, they had to avoid it.
Feng Ziyan shyly took the Marching Pill. After a period of rest, her face had become much rosier. She nodded and thanked before starting to heal herself.
After about two hours of time, Feng Ziyan woke up and found Zheng Zizhou sitting cross-legged under a big tree not far away. She quietly got up and walked to Zheng Zizhou's side and carefully sized him up.
The incident just now was too sudden and she did not have time to carefully look at this long-cherished young man. This look could not help but be somewhat infatuated. That jade-like chiseled face was so handsome and extraordinary. At the age of fourteen, he had already grown into a handsome young man with an imposing appearance.
"Junior sister Feng, you're awake? How are the injuries on your body?" Just as Feng Ziyan was entranced by the sight, Zheng Zizhou noticed something strange in front of him and opened his eyes to ask.
"Oh, I... I'm awake. I'm fine, nothing." Feng Ziyan blushed and answered shyly.
"It's good that you're fine." Zheng Zizhou felt a little strange. Why was his face so red just because he asked a question?
"Mr Zizhou, is the injury on your hand better?" Feng Ziyan reacted and looked at Zheng Zizhou's left hand and asked with heartache.
"It's alright. It's not a big deal for us martial artists to have a small injury." Zheng Zizhou smiled and then asked, "Junior sister, why did you come to Devil Beast Forest?"
"Sigh..." Feng Ziyan heard this and sighed lightly, "It was all because of that mischievous little brother of yours."
"Ah? My little brother? What happened to Zinuo? Did he follow you into Devil Beast Forest?" Zheng Zizhou's facial expression changed dramatically when he heard this. With a swoosh, he got up from the ground and asked.
"No, no. You only know how to be nervous about your brother." Feng Ziyan said with some anger, "Your brother didn't follow me into Devil Beast Forest. Besides, even if he did, so what? He enters every day. I just listened to him. That was why she thought of finding a Devil Beast in the Devil Beast Forest to cultivate. She didn't want to meet such a powerful Devil Beast not long after she entered the Devil Beast Forest. If you didn't arrive in time, I would have become that Devil Beast's lunch. Mr Zizhou, I owe you my life. "
"What nonsense are you talking about? We are all fellow disciples. There's nothing I owe you. Don't tell me you won't save me when I'm in danger?" Zheng Zinuo was relieved when he heard this, and continued to ask, "You just said that my younger brother often comes to Devil Beast Forest to kill Devil Beast to cultivate. My younger brother's cultivation is only that much. Does he have the ability to do so? "
"Hehe... You must have underestimated that Little Junior Brother of mine." Feng Ziyan said, "He is very powerful now. Even Senior Sister Qianxun is no match for him. His cultivation base has already reached the level of a level 23 martial master."
" What? A level 23 martial master? Are you joking with me, Junior Sister?" Zheng Zizhou asked in surprise and joy.
"Why would I joke with you? It's not funny." Feng Ziyan pouted and said, "I didn't believe it at first. When junior brother unsealed the seal a while ago, his cultivation had already reached the level of a level twenty-two martial master. Half a month later, his cultivation had increased by another level. This morning, I personally witnessed his fight with Senior Sister Qianxun. I was their judge. Senior Sister Qianxun really lost to him. Senior Sister Qianxun's cultivation base has already reached the level of a level 25 Martial Master, but she is still not a match for my junior brother. "
"Qianxun has already reached the level of a level 25 martial master. Not bad. It seems like she has also put in a lot of effort in her cultivation after experiencing a failure. " Zheng Zizhou nodded and said happily. " I didn't expect my brother to be so powerful. Feng Martial Uncle really knows how to teach his disciples. My younger brother's talent is so poor, but he was able to teach him to become a level 23 martial master in such a short period of time. This is unbelievable. "
"Of course not. Your younger brother's talent is not bad at all. Furthermore, he is the most powerful black super martial soul. His talent can be said to be rare even in a thousand years. I wonder how much my parents love him." Feng Ziyan replied.
"What? black martial soul? Are you seeing things? My brother is clearly..." Zheng Zinuo suddenly woke up from his daze. Back then, when Zheng Zinuo was testing the martial soul, it was a useless white martial soul. Later on, Elder Fang said that it was an orange martial soul. Now, he heard Feng Ziyan say that it was a black martial soul. He couldn't help but think of the time when the two of them fell off the cliff. Zheng Zinuo's forehead was emitting a golden light and the golden divine sword mark. He suddenly understood.
"Of course I'm not mistaken. All the disciples of Xun Wind Peak know about this. Furthermore, I just saw him summon the martial soul this morning. How could I be mistaken?" Feng Ziyan said, "Oh, right. Mr Zizhou, why did you suddenly come to Devil Beast Forest?"
"Oh, I also wanted to find more combat training. So I went down the mountain to find the Devil Beast while everyone was taking an afternoon nap to cultivate." Zheng Zinuo replied.
"You guys are really worthy of being brothers." Feng Ziyan shook her head and asked, "Mr Zizhou, what is your current cultivation base? It should not be weaker than Senior Sister Qianxun, right?"
"Hehe..." Zheng Zizhou smiled and said, "She's not much higher. I'm only a level 27 martial master now."
"What? A level 27 martial master? You... you're too abnormal. You're only 14 years old this year. You're only a year older than me, and you have the same talent. We're from the same sect, but why is there such a huge gap between us? Legend has it that I had a senior brother called Gong Cheng, who reached the level of a level 30 general at the age of 14. I reckon that you will catch up to him." Feng Ziyan said in surprise.
"It is not as exaggerated as you said." Zheng Zizhou shook his head and said, "The further you go, the harder it is to improve your cultivation. There are less than eight months until another year. It's basically impossible for me to break through to the third rank in these eight months. " Zheng Zinuo's eyes dimmed as he spoke. He thought back to the time when the three man in black fought with his parents. One of them had already reached the level of a rank 50 Martial King. He didn't know how long it would take for him to reach that realm. His parents' whereabouts were still unknown. He was somewhat worried and anxious. It was precisely because his parents' hatred had always encouraged him, otherwise he would not have been so diligent in his cultivation.1
"Oh, you are right. But Ziyan believes that you can do it. Do your best, Mr Zizhou." Feng Ziyan smiled like a blooming flower. Zheng Zizhou could not help but be slightly stunned when he saw her smile.
"Thank you, junior sister Feng." Zheng Zizhou shifted his gaze and did not dare to look again.
"No need to thank me. Just call me Ziyan from now on, okay?" Feng Ziyan said shyly.
"Okay, Ziyan's name sounds good." Zheng Zinuo nodded. The gloom in his heart slowly dissipated. His smile returned and he said, "Ziyan is late. I will send you back to Xun Wind Peak first. Otherwise, I will be questioned by my master and the others even if I return late."
"Alright." Feng Ziyan nodded and felt a sense of loss in her heart. After thinking for a moment, she begged. " Mr Zizhou, can you promise me that you will bring me along when you come to Devil Beast Forest every afternoon to cultivate? I also want to improve my cultivation base as soon as possible, but I have been left behind by you all. I am also very anxious."
Zheng Zizhou smiled bitterly and replied, "Alright then. In the future, I will wait for you at the entrance of Devil Beast Forest at the foot of Xun Wind Peak Mountain at noon. After that, we will search for the Devil Beast and cultivate together."
" Yay! That's great." Feng Ziyan was overjoyed and extremely excited...
The two of them chatted and laughed along the way, passing through the border of the Devil Beast Forest and returning to the Xun Wind Peak before separating.
