"Quick, split up and run."
Zhuo Feifan, who had been hiding in the rear and attacking with his Flying Sword from a distance since the battle began, never getting too close, urgently called out, "Li Miao Zhen is too formidable for us to handle. Scatter and escape, and go back to inform the Sect that sothing has gone wrong."
Before his words even finished, he had already taken the lead to retreat and flee into the distance.
However, the direction in which he flew just so happened to take him past Qin Feng.
It was no coincidence; he wanted to try and see if he could kill Qin Feng in passing.
Zhuo Feifan was considered a Sword Dao prodigy, otherwise, his master wouldn't have noticed him from a young age and taken him in as a disciple. His talent in Sword Dao was strong, his understanding of various sword techniques was profound, and he even had so unique insights, integrating and mastering various sword techniques as his own.
But his ti spent cultivating was not as long as Li Miao Zhen's, and his realm of cultivation was much lower. Not only was Li Miao Zhen a True Disciple of the White Tiger Lineage, but she was also an expert at the peak of the Foundation Establishnt Realm, and even her Lifebound Spiritual Beast, the White Tiger, was at the peak of Foundation Establishnt as well.
Both she and her Spiritual Beast possessed combat power far beyond their peers, and when rged, they could even rival Golden Core Early Stage Cultivators. Naturally, they were not opponents the Sword Cultivators like Zhuo Feifan could contend with.
In fact, like Li Miao Zhen, True Disciples of major sects often fought above their level before reaching the Purple Mansion Realm. The True Disciples of Taiyi Mountain also possessed similar combat power, but Taiyi Mountain refrained from sending their True Disciples to avoid attracting other Sects' attention, which is why they hadn't expected Li Miao Zhen to be an exception.
With Li Miao Zhen's cultivation, had it not been for this trip to the Heavenly Pool Secret Realm, she could have broken through to form her Golden Core long ago.
The reason she suppressed her realm and didn't advance was not to search for fortune in the Heavenly Pool Secret Realm; as a True Disciple, she really didn't value this secret realm that had been explored by countless people over thousands of years.
The real treasures had been picked clean by predecessors, and anything left was not worth her attention.
She was here because she had been ordered by her Sect to investigate the movents of the Taiyi Mountain disciples.
During previous openings of the Secret Realm, the Taiyi Mountain disciples were secretly up to sothing, which had caught the attention of the Beast Taming Sect, and similar ssages had also been sent back by spies planted within Taiyi Mountain.
Therefore, she ca in, and indeed found traces of Chen Buqi and others at several spots suggested by her Sect, leading to her overwhelming defeat and killing of these Sword Cultivators.
"Think you can run?"
When Li Miao Zhen saw them fleeing in different directions, her expression turned cold, and killing intent surged. With a light snort from her nose, her figure flashed like lightning, and in the blink of an eye, she caught up to one of them. With a slender palm, she directly shattered that person's skull.
Then she separated from her rge state with her Lifebound Spiritual Beast, chasing the remaining two fleeing Sword Cultivators, one on each side.
At this mont, Qin Feng was also facing an attack from Zhuo Feifan.
Zhuo Feifan moved like lightning, without the slightest hesitation. As he passed Qin Feng, he unleashed a powerful sword attack, consigned with all his strength.
It would be great if he could kill Qin Feng, but if not, he wouldn't delay. If he did, by the ti Li Miao Zhen dealt with the other disciples, he might not be able to escape her pursuit.
His choice to flee past Qin Feng was motivated by the intention to kill Qin Feng and the hope that it might make Li Miao Zhen think soone was holding him back there so she would instinctively chase the others, buying him ti to escape.
As for whether Qin Feng could stop him, Zhuo Feifan had never considered it.
He had chased Qin Feng before and still regarded Qin Feng as the sa low-cultivation cultivator as before.
Even if Qin Feng's cultivation had improved a lot and he had rged with a Foundation Establishnt Realm Spiritual Beast, Zhuo Feifan had also progressed!
He was no longer a novice at Foundation Establishnt. After returning from the Ancient Battlefield to Taiyi Mountain, he practiced night and day. Not only did he master the "Taiyin Golden Light Evil Slayer Sword", but with the help of nurous Spiritual Elixirs and Miracle dicines, he had advanced to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishnt. His strength was far greater than before, of course, he didn't see Qin Feng, who was still in the Qi Refining Realm, as a threat.
Even if his all-out attack didn't kill Qin Feng, it would still injure him, and Qin Feng wouldn't have the strength left to stop him from leaving.
However, all of this was just his speculation.
Indeed, the power of that sword attack was trendous, and even an ordinary cultivator at the early stage of Foundation Establishnt might not be able to block it.
But the likelihood of it severely injuring Qin Feng was slim. Back in the Void Shattering Hamr Cave Mansion, Zhuo Feifan had failed to injure the Ruyi Golden Snake, and it was similarly unlikely to break through with one sword now.
Qin Feng, anwhile, had summoned all his Ruyi Golden Light to bolster his Golden Wings on his back. Crossing his wings in front of him, he had valiantly blocked Zhuo Feifan's Flying Sword.
Even though he looked disheveled and was knocked to the ground with both legs embedded two feet into the ground, his defensive power after rging with the Ruyi Golden Snake was so formidable that he remained unhard, just slightly unstable in his inner energy.
If Zhuo Feifan pursued the attack, Qin Feng certainly wouldn't stand a chance, and in his unstable state, he might not last long.
But Zhuo Feifan was intent on escaping. Upon seeing Qin Feng alive, he regretted not finishing him but dared not linger in combat, and quickly flew away on his sword light.
Just at that mont, a mass of webs suddenly appeared in front of him.
He swiftly cut through the webs, but before he could fly away again, he felt a chilling sense of imnse danger.
Divine Sense swept across the area, and in an instant, Qin Feng noticed dozens of icy glints shooting towards him like teorites, tracing beautiful arcs through the air.
Just as he had severed the spider silk, Qin Feng retrieved thirty Armor-Breaking Cones, activated the chanism, and suddenly thirty tiny projectiles burst through the air towards him.
The distance was too close, less than twenty yards away, perfectly maximizing the lethality of the thirty icy stars.
Zhuo Feifan didn't even think before instinctively flicking his Flying Sword and executing a set of sword techniques, which generated streaks of Sword Light like rain to et the chilly glints.
After a series of clashing sounds, Zhuo Feifan shielded himself tightly and was not hit by even one of the Armor-Breaking Cones.
However, this gave Qin Feng ti to recover his breath.
Then, with a kick of his legs and a flap of his wings, Qin Feng pounced towards Zhuo Feifan like a bolt of golden lightning.
Foundation Establishnt Sword Cultivators excel in long-range attacks, killing enemies from a thousand yards away.
Although they are not weak in close combat, they are accustod to long-range assaults because it allows for more operational flexibility—as they can advance or retreat.
Qin Feng didn't have such long-range attack magic at the mont, and although he was not Zhuo Feifan's match in close combat, the strong defense of his Ruyi Golden Snake was enough to entangle Zhuo Feifan for a mont.
That mont was enough ti for Li Miao Zhen to arrive.
Zhuo Feifan was extrely anxious, he had never expected this youngster to be so troubleso; not only had his own sword strike failed to severely injure Qin Feng, but it had also allowed the latter to catch up to him.
Of course, without the Ghost-Faced Spider and the chanical Box of thirty Armor-Breaking Cones, Qin Feng couldn't have achieved this.
But now, not only did Zhuo Feifan have to deal with Qin Feng's entanglent, but he also had to be wary of the Ghost-Faced Spider's sneak attacks, which gave him quite a headache.
He pushed his Sword Dao to its limits, forcing Qin Feng to retreat again and again, but every ti he tried to break away, a strand of spider silk would shoot up from below to block his path, accompanied by spell attacks from several other Spiritual Beasts. He had to split his focus to deal with them, allowing Qin Feng to catch up once more.
Zhuo Feifan was now furious and impatient, even feeling a strong hatred towards Chen Buqi; if that guy hadn't insisted on using up the Sword Talismans given by his master, he could have definitely slain this Beast Taming Sect disciple with one of them.
Just as he was furiously attacking Qin Feng with his flying sword, even more fiercely than before, he suddenly heard a voice from behind him, "Junior Brother Qin's cultivation has improved a lot, you've actually managed to stop this guy."
Zhuo Feifan felt like his soul was about to leave his body; Li Miao Zhen had caught up.
Before he could even mount a defense, he felt an imnse force strike him from behind, shattering his True Yuan and cracking his internal organs.
He spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his energy fading, unable to escape flying and tumbled to the ground.
Behind him, Li Miao Zhen was holding soone by the neck, descending leisurely.
In the distance, a three-yard-long White Tiger held soone in its mouth, leaping dozens of yards at a ti and quickly reaching them, then opened its jaws and tossed the person onto the ground.
Qin Feng glanced at the White Tiger and of course knew that it couldn't be a purebred White Tiger Divine Beast, otherwise it wouldn't just have the strength of the Foundation Establishnt Realm.
Divine Beasts are inherently powerful and even as cubs can use so potent Bloodline Divine Powers, not comparable to the ordinary Demon Clan.
However, this white tiger definitely carried the bloodline of a White Tiger Divine Beast in its body, otherwise, it wouldn't impose such a powerful sense of might on him.
"I've seen Senior Sister Li."
Qin Feng took another look and then withdrew his gaze, bowing his hand to Li Miao Zhen, "I didn't expect Senior Sister to co to the Heavenly Pool Secret Realm too."
Li Miao Zhen waved her hand, "Junior Brother Qin, there's no need for such courtesies. This isn't a place to catch up. Let's see what they have to say about what Taiyi Mountain is really up to."
"Please go ahead, Senior Sister."
Qin Feng nodded and stood to the side, looking at the three people who had been captured alive on the ground.
Li Miao Zhen was indeed decisive in her actions. She asked one of them, "Tell us what you've found out. What does that cave lead to? Could it truly be an Inheritance Land from an Ancient Sect?"
"Pah, you demoness, don't think to get any information out of !"
The Sword Cultivator was defiant, "Even if you kill , I won't tell you a word."
"Oh."
Li Miao Zhen remained indifferent, motioned with her hand, and smashed his head into pulp with a palm from afar; blood splattered wildly, and his brains burst, drenching the other two Sword Cultivators.
Then she turned her gaze to another person and asked calmly, "How about you, will you talk?"
