“Brat, die!”
The cultivators closed in on him, full of excitement, only the head of sect had worry in his eyes. But Zhao Feng was already surrounded, so there shouldn’t be any problems.
“Take him down!” the portly elder ordered.
Howling Tiger Fist!
Stone Shattering Palm!
Flying Cloud Leg!
The group of cultivators used different skills to attack Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng faced the attack of six people at once. Liu Guirong and the two elders guarded the exits to stop Zhao Feng from escaping.
A variety of skills landed on Zhao Feng.
Metal Wall Rebound!
Zhao Feng’s whole body turned metal-like and rebounded the attacks.
The sound of bones shattering never ended.
The six men fell down to the ground, all seriously injured. The scene shocked the two elders and Liu Guirong.
“How…how did he do this?” the fat elder screamed.
“It’s your turn.” Zhao Feng turned to face the three.
“Sir, we can talk diplomatically.” A smile that was even uglier than crying appeared on Liu Guirong’s face. The strength that Zhao Feng had just shown had exceeded what they knew. Even Liu Guirong didn’t have any confidence in beating Zhao Feng.
“I’ll give you one day to take all of the men of the Liu family and leave Green Leaf Village or else I’ll cripple all your cultivations,” Zhao Feng said.
He had lived at Green Leaf Village for most of his life and he knew how the Liu family usually acted. Therefore, Zhao Feng’s punishment was actually quite light.
“Yes yes yes!” Liu Guirong immediately answered and looked at the two elders.
Just as Zhao Feng was wondering -
Smashing Wind Palm!
Liu Guirong’s Inner Strength exploded as he shot out a high level martial art at Zhao Feng’s forehead.
“Dieeeeee!” The two elders attacked from the two sides.
Under the short distance and the furious attacks of two fifth rankers and one sixth rank, even Zhao Feng was caught off guard.
“Kid, you’re too young!” Liu Guirong laughed hysterically as his palm reached Zhao Feng’s forehead.
“Retards!” Zhao Feng coldly laughed and left an after-image where he originally stood.
The attacks of Liu Guirong and the two elders had all missed, they didn’t even get to touch Zhao Feng’s clothes.
The next moment, Zhao Feng appeared once again in the middle of the three exactly in the same position as before as if time had flowed backwards.
Cold sweat flooded the backs of Liu Guirong and the two elders.
“High ranked martial arts…peak level?” Liu Guirong barely managed to squeeze out these words.
At this moment, they had finally realized how terrifying this youth really was.
Chapter 65 – Archery God’s Left Eye
Zhao Feng’s Lightly Floating Ferry had not only reached the high level; his Lightly Micro Step had also consolidated at perfection when he had merged the Flowing Wind Stance with it. There was no one in Sun Feather City who had reached perfection of a high ranked martial art, including the older generation.
“If you’re going to be ungrateful, then don’t blame me for not holding back.” Zhao Feng released his killing intent.
Just now Liu Guirong and the two elders had tried to kill him. If it wasn’t for the fact that he was strong, he might have died.
Just as Liu Guirong had said, Zhao Feng was still too soft-hearted. To be kind to the enemy was to be cruel to yourself.
“Breaking Wind Palm, die…"
Liu Guirong pretended to use his killing move, but in reality, his figure went in the opposite direction.
Run!
The two elders reacted as well. By now, they understood the difference between them and Zhao Feng.
“Stay!” Zhao Feng ordered as his figure leapt into the air and stabbed out his finger multiple times.
Ssss…sssss…ssss…
Hissing sounds came from the air. Three azure lights pierced the air and hit their targets.
“Wuu…”
Liu Guirong’s body stiffened as a hole the size of a finger appeared on his forehead. The expression of fear and shock remained on his face.
Zhao Feng hadn’t even come close to him, so how did a hole appear on his forehead? The two elders had seen how Zhao Feng moved, but two blood stains appeared on their chests as well.
Plop! Plop!
The two elders of the fifth rank fell to the ground, dead. Zhao Feng had used his Spatial Star Finger to kill them.
Teng!
At this time, Zhao Feng landed on the ground again. He had killed the three of them in only a breath’s time. A Martial Master would probably have difficulty in doing this, but Zhao Feng had increased reaction speed and his left eye had locked on to his targets.
“Spare us!” Zhao Feng’s cold-blooded methods had stunned the six injured Martial Artists on the ground.
In their eyes, Zhao Feng’s methods could be said to be on par with Martial Masters. Zhao Feng didn’t bother to deal with them as he walked slowly out of the lounge.
At this time, the people of the branch sect had finally arrived.
Coming into the lounge of the Liu family, the sect leader Zhao Kayuan looked at Zhao Feng deeply.
“This is a warning and example for all the powers inside Green Leaf Village.” Zhao Feng stood on the rooftop as his voice resound through the village.
An example!
The hearts of everyone trembled as they understood the meaning of the youth’s words. From now on, if any power within Green Leaf Village dared to infuriate the Zhao family, this would be their outcome.
A family such as the Liu’s had reached such a state, what would theirs be in comparison? The genius produced from the Zhao family could threaten all the powers in the Green Leaf Village now.
Solving this problem, Zhao Feng left the other small matters for Zhao Kayuan to deal with. Green Leaf Village was the place he had grown up in, and he had deep emotions for this place.
Now that he had enough strength, he was obviously going to protect it. Zhao Feng only stayed in the village for one day before he left.
His goal was the outside world. Green Leaf Village and Sun Feather City couldn’t hold him.
A few hours later, Zhao Feng arrived back at the main Zhao family. Tomorrow, he was going to leave this place and enter a brand new stage. But before he left, Zhao Feng still made his last preparations as packed his important items, which included the thousand-year blood plant, bamboo, and spirit plant.
Furthermore, there was still the silver bow which Zhao Feng decided to take. But unexpectedly, the high levels decided to give him a better one.
“We know that you’re very talented with the bow, so we’re going to give this Golden Stairs Bow to you. The bow is one of the weapons of our ancestors and only Martial Masters can use its full power.” Elder Zhao handed over a wooden box.
Opening the box, a golden bow lay silently there. Its look was simple, but the bowstring glowed faintly gold. Gently, he pulled the golden string, and found that there was quite a bit of resistance. One had to know that Zhao Feng’s Metal Wall Technique had reached the fifth level, so in strength alone he was even stronger than Martial Masters.
Weng!
The string trembled as he let go. He was certain that this Golden Stairs Bow had surpassed the Silver Bow in many attributes.
“When did the family become so nice as to give me silver and weapons?” Although Zhao Feng said this, he was still pleased with this bow. With the help of the Golden Stairs Bow, he could threaten the lives of cultivators of the seventh rank.
That day, Zhao Feng stayed inside his room, getting familiar with the bow. Within his mind, his Flowing Meteor Archery Skill merged with his mind. With Zhao Feng’s enhanced vision, normal skills didn’t come into his eyes at all.
�
��I need to fully merge all of the archery skills to be able to use half the potential of my left eye.”
Zhao Feng had the first-born advantage in archery, normal archery skills didn’t help him at all. Obviously, he still needed a few days to merge all these archery skills together.
The next morning...
Both Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei arrived early. The two looked at each other and smiled. After the summit, the two now stood at the peak of Sun Feather City.
Soon, the head of the sect arrived as well. Facing Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei, the elders were all very respectful because they knew their futures were immeasurable. With their potential, they might be able to lead the Zhao family to a greater height.
Shua!
An azure blur appeared on the rooftop of the hall and a handsome man appeared. It was Master Ye, but no one had seen how he arrived.
“Zhao Feng, Zhao Yufei the three days have passed, you two will now come with me to the Guanjun Province City,” Ye Linyun smiled faintly.
“Yes,” Zhao Yufei and Zhao Feng replied in unison.
The man standing in front of them was one of the strongest people in the Cloud Country, the entire Zhao family had no chance against him.
Ceng! Ceng!
The two followed Ye Linyun and sat in a carriage that headed northwards.
Under the shadow of a tree outside of the Zhao family’s gate...
“It’s better this way…with Yufei’s potential and secret…” A one-armed old man sent the carriage away with his eyes.
For the next few days, Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei headed towards Guanjun Province City. The distance from Guanjun Province City and Sun Feather City took over four days for the carriage to travel. In this time, Zhao Feng merged the essence of the archery skills together to create his own skill.
Because this skill was built on various other skills and his left eye, he decided to name it 'Archery God’s Left Eye'. The Left Eye stood for his own eye which came from an Ancient God. As time passed, the skill started to form.
“My Archery God’s Left Eye relies on the abilities of my left eye. The essence of the skill probably surpasses peak ranked martial arts,” Zhao Feng estimated.
Archery skills were quite rare, there weren’t any peak ranked archery skills in the Zhao family’s Martial Arts Library.
On the journey, Ye Linyun spent most of his time cross-legged, cultivating.
Zhao Feng sighed in his heart. Ye Linyun had reached the ninth rank already and he was still putting in so much effort.
If the legendary Holy Martial Path was excluded, didn’t that mean the ninth rank was the strongest?
As if sensing Zhao Feng’s gaze, Ye Linyun opened his eyes. “There’s still half a day before we reach Guanjun Province City. Do you have any questions you would like me to answer?”
Asking a Martial Master of the ninth rank questions? Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei saw the excitement in each other’s eyes.
“What kind of realm is the Holy Martial Path?” Zhao Feng asked immediately.
“Holy Martial Path is the realm above the ninth rank, but since I haven’t reached it I can’t really tell you much about it. But according to the books, once someone reaches the Holy Martial Path, their bodies will undergo certain changes and their lifespans will increase. You could understand it as surpassing the limits of the human body,” Ye Linyun answered.
Surpassing the limits of the human body?
Zhao Feng couldn’t help but remember the Burning Wind Stance. The move seemed to engulf everything standing in its way, and a mortal body didn’t seem able to unleash that kind of power.
“Those that reach the Holy Martial Path are all geniuses. You can count them with one hand in Cloud Country.” An admiring look appeared in Ye Linyun’s eyes.
Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei both asked Ye Linyun more questions.
“The nine ranks of the Martial Path train one’s body, a path from the skin to the organs. Therefore, it’s best to set a solid foundation to have a better chance of reaching the Holy Martial Path,” Ye Linyun emphasized.
Zhao Feng kept this in his heart, vaguely realizing that the nine ranks of the Martial Path didn’t seem to emphasize killing or fighting.
“We’re almost there.” The speed of the carriage started to slow down.
At a certain point, a tiny black dot appeared within their sights.
In Zhao Feng’s vision, the black dot became bigger and bigger and soon, it turned into a magnificent city at least four times larger than Sun Feather City. It seemed like an enormous beast as its gates engulfed the unlimited numbers of horses, carriages, and people entering…
Chapter 66 – Guanjun Palace
Zhao Feng was able to inspect Guangjun Province City thirty kilometers away, while the others, including Ye Linyun, still saw it as a tiny black dot.
Within his left eye, the azure light had reached 2.1 meters in radius, matching his cultivation.
Zhao Feng had discovered that ever since he entered the sixth rank, the progress of his cultivation had started to slow down, unlike his martial arts. According to Ye Linyun, the nine ranks of the Martial Path strove to perfect one’s body. So as one reached the later ranks, the harder it was to progress.
The carriage soon entered the rich Province City.
On the way, Zhao Feng realized that any random youth would have the cultivation of the third or fourth rank.
The buildings here were far more majestic; it was not something Sun Feather City could compare to. Finally, the carriage entered the depths of the city and stopped near a rich and noble palace. Compared to it, the Zhao family’s mansion was just like an old bathroom, it wasn't even close to being on the same level.
Just the front gate alone was several carriages wide. What surprised them more was that the eight guards at the front gate had already reached the fourth rank or higher.
“Cultivators of the fourth rank are only guards here?” Zhao Feng was slightly dazed.
Being born in a small village and cultivating to this level, he understood how much effort and pain it took. Martial Artists of the fourth rank or higher would even be respected in Sun Feather City.
“This is the Guanjun Palace and it is the most influential place in the city. I’ll soon transfer you guys to the Sky Guards Battalion where we train our geniuses,” Ye Linyun warned.
Guanjun Palace! Sky Guards Battalion!
The breathing rates of Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei increased. After entering the Guanjun Palace, Zhao Feng realized that almost every cultivator was of the fourth rank or higher. Zhao Feng even saw three Martial Masters of the seventh rank.
Soon, Ye Linyun led the two to an old dirty field. It was weird that an old dirty field such as this would appear in the middle of the Guanjun Palace. On the field, there were a few tents and a small number of wooden rooms. In the very middle was the only building.
“This is the forbidden area of the Guanjun Palace – the Sky Guards Battalion, which was created by Lord Guanjun himself in the hope of raising some geniuses. At the same time, this is the backup of the Guanjun Corps.” Ye Linyun walked forward.
Sky Guards Battalion?
We’re going to live in this sh*tty place? Zhao Feng stared at the dirty muddy field with ten wooden rooms and a few more tents. The environment here was so cr*p that it couldn't even compare to Green Leaf Village.
“Haha, Master Ye. These are the two geniuses you brought?” A white bearded old man came from the other side with a black-clothed youth following behind him.
“Master Hu,” Ye Linyun signaled to the white bearded old man.
While they were speaking, Master Hu casually looked over Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei.
Instantly, the two felt as if all their secrets had been exposed. Zhao Feng’s heart shook, this old man’s cultivation was probably even higher than Ye Linyun’s.
It could be seen that the Guanjun Palace did indeed have a unique position, with two Martial Masters of
the ninth rank here.
“He’s Huang Qi, a genius I picked from the Pearl Tree City, just fifteen years old and already at the sixth rank,” the old man smiled happily as he introduced the youth standing behind him.
Fifteen years old and already at the sixth rank. His talent was indeed good. The youth named Huan Qi casually glanced at Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei, but surprise was seen in his eyes as he looked at the two.
Both the white-bearded old man and Master Ye were in charge of sending their geniuses here. After they sent the three to the gate, the two Masters immediately stopped.
“I’ll send you up to here. You better perform well because Lord Guanjun will be coming out of secluded meditation next month…,” Ye Linyun warned them before leaving.
Being a Martial Master of the ninth rank, his time was precious too.
The white-bearded old man also talked to Huang Qi. “Lord Guanjun is known for his love of geniuses, especially young ones. You need to grasp this chance to change your destiny.”
“Yes, Master Hu,” Huan Qi took a deep breath and solemnly answered.
Lord Guanjun was a legend in this country, and the Sky Guards Battalion was created by him. If Huan Qi stayed here and cultivated, not only would he receive resources from the Guanjun Palace, he would also get the chance to see the legendary Lord Guanjun.
The two from the Zhao family walked into the dirty fields with Huang Qi. On the way, they saw many youths of the same age. Most of them were between the ages of twelve and eighteen, but the majority were under sixteen. This meant that their ages were all similar.
“Twelve years old, third rank…” Zhao Feng couldn’t help but click his tongue.
The two children who had just walked past were both twelve years old and they had reached the third rank. One needed to remember that Zhao Feng didn’t even step into the Martial Path until he was twelve.
Furthermore, youths of fourteen and fifteen years of age could be seen everywhere, and their cultivation was all at least of the fourth rank, with some even reaching the fifth or sixth rank. The scene turned the expression of the slightly arrogant Huang Qi solemn.
