(I was delayed with things and only just got ho. Sorry for the late upload, everyone, please don't mind.)
Second Zheng landed, and the mont his feet touched the ground, a yellow glow erged. He stomped fiercely, propelling himself forward like an arrow released from its bow, escaping into the distance.
Even though he had injured one of his feet, his body was excessively robust. Forcibly wrapping his injury with True Yuan, his speed was hardly affected.
If it were only Qin Feng alone, he couldn't possibly stop this physically formidable fellow.
However, besides him, there were also An Ruhui and others.
Wen Qing'er and Qin Xi, with their insufficient cultivation, couldn't offer much help, but An Ruhui's strength was formidable.
Enveloped by winding breezes—a natural phenonon following her rger with the Wind Elf—she reached out with both hands. Suddenly, a whirlwind erupted around the fleeing Second Zheng.
Initially, the whirlwind appeared insignificant. However, it swiftly grew into a towering tornado connecting heaven and earth, trapping Second Zheng within.
Despite his robust physical body, he forcefully swung his Shaking Mountain Mace, dispersing the tornado. But in that brief mont, Qin Feng and An Ruhui had already caught up, blocking his path.
Qin Feng did not wish to engage in close combat with this fellow again, having limited long-range options, so he released the dozen or so Iron Armor Rhinoceroses.
Led by an Iron Armor Rhinoceros, which was at the Foundation Establishnt Realm, the group charged with steps heavy as thundering rumble toward their adversary.
Boom boom boom...
The massive impact resounded, not upon Second Zheng but as the sound of the Iron Armor Rhinoceroses he sent flying through the air, crashing to the ground.
Body Refining Cultivators of the Giant Spirit Sect possess strength that even surpasses that of the Iron Armor Rhinoceroses. Not even the leader of the Iron Armor Rhinoceroses, at the forefront of the Foundation Establishnt Realm, could match Second Zheng. With several strikes of his mace, Second Zheng brutally burst its head, killing it tragically.
If the leader t such a fate, the lesser Qi Refining Realm Iron Armor Rhinoceroses were even less useful. Relying solely on their massive bodies, they created so obstacles. But they were far from threatening Second Zheng, who flung each one of them tens of ters away, violently smashing them into the ground, all fatally injured.
Nevertheless, these Iron Armor Rhinoceroses had bought Qin Feng and his companions so ti; otherwise, with the opponent's superior cultivation, if he had truly focused on escaping, the two of them would truly not be able to stop him.
Just as the Iron Armor Rhinoceroses were all slain, and Qin Feng and his companions were about to fail in halting Second Zheng under his frenzied attacks, Li Miaozhen arrived.
Although the strength of Zheng Family's eldest had greatly increased after deploying his secret technique, comparable to the early stages of the Golden Core, Li Miaozhen was not without her significantly more formidable thods. Not to ntion the life-saving items on her, just the secret techniques of the direct White Tiger Lineage were enough to allow her to kill her adversary.
Upon realizing Li Miaozhen had arrived, Second Zheng let out a mournful shriek, seeing no hope of escape and also wishing to unleash his secret technique in a desperate attempt.
But Li Miaozhen didn't give him a chance. Before he could fully unleash his technique, and while his body had just swollen, she directly drew a long sword and slashed down.
This slash carried endless murderous aura, with faint tiger roars that captivated the spirit. And yet, without a hint of power leakage, it directly cleaved upon Second Zheng, splitting the robust-bodied disciple of the Giant Spirit Sect in two.
Qin Feng and An Ruhui were stunned by the prowess of this single slash.
The impact of this slash was trendous on them.
It wasn't that the slash was overwhelmingly powerful, but rather that Li Miaozhen, in executing this slash, had reached the brink of triggering the Cave Heaven Principle. Yet she could keep the power confined within the blade without leakage, slaying a Foundation Establishnt Perfection body cultivator without alerting the Power of Laws—her control over power was simply breathtaking.
An Ruhui secretly sighed, not saying a word.
Thinking back, she and Li Miaozhen had both reached Foundation Establishnt around the sa period. Initially, when Li Miaozhen was famous in the Outer Sect, she had harbored the thought of competing with her.
In fact, not just her—because Li Miaozhen's renown in the Outer Sect was indeed too great, every disciple from various peaks who had so confidence in themselves wanted to asure themselves against her.
However, all the disciples who challenged her were defeated by her one by one during the Outer Sect's grand competition. Afterwards, Li Miaozhen quickly entered the Inner Sect and in a short ti seized the position of a True Disciple, disheartening all her forr rivals completely.
Now, it seed to her that the gap between her and such a Heavenly Pride like Li Miaozhen was imnse, not sothing she could bridge by rely cultivating diligently.
Behind them, Wen Qing'er and Qin Xi, seeing that the fight was over, also ran over.
Wen Qing'er approached Li Miaozhen, her eyes gleaming as she circled around, her face full of admiration, "Wow, senior sister is so amazing, to be able to split that guy with a single slash."
Li Miaozhen smiled faintly, "If you cultivate diligently, you can be just as powerful."
"Really? That's great!"
This girl was clearly smitten as Li Miaozhen's little fan. At this mont, she only cared about circling Li Miaozhen, which made An Ruhui feel a bit sour inwardly. This wretched girl, she used to say her senior sister was the best, but now why is she circling soone else?
Humph, wait until we get back; I'll take care of you.
"What's going on, how did these two guys find this place?"
Qin Feng looked at Qin Xi, asking.
It wasn't just these two people; actually, five had co earlier."
Qin Xi said helplessly, "Originally, our hiding place was quite secret. We didn't expect that one of them had awakened the Heavenly Ear Technique and could hear our voices through the prohibition from hundreds of ters away, which led to our whereabouts being exposed."
"Three more?"
Qin Feng was startled. If the other three people were also of the sa strength as the Zheng brothers, that would indeed be formidable.
"Don't worry, they're already dead."
Next to him, An Ruhui made an excuse.
"Dead?"
"Correct."
An Ruhui smiled and said, "We knew we couldn't beat them, so we told them that we were here waiting for an Immortal Vine to bloom, and then we lured them over to the Confusing God Flower. The three fools couldn't resist the temptation, got too close, were bewildered by it, and died there.
These two stayed because they were waiting for word."
"I see."
Qin Feng nodded.
However, he was quite interested in the Divine Skills awakened by the disciples of the Giant Spirit Sect, just as so talented disciples from the Beast Taming Sect might obtain Divine Skills from their Lifebound Spiritual Beasts early on. When Giant Spirit Sect disciples' Body Refining Techniques beco formidable to a certain degree or strengthen a particular part of the body exceptionally, they might also awaken a certain Divine Skill prematurely.
Interested, Qin Feng asked, "Was it one of these two who had cultivated the Heavenly Ear Technique?"
He wanted to study it and see if the ears displayed any distinct differences from those of ordinary people after awakening the Heavenly Ear Technique.
An Ruhui said, "No, that fellow already died by the Confusing God Flower. Why do you ask, junior brother?"
Qin Feng smiled slightly, "I just wanted to see it for myself."
Now that he knew the cause of the events, he didn't care anymore since the opponents were already dead.
He turned around and collected all the dead Iron Armor Rhinoceroses into the Demon Refining Pot and did not directly refine them into Pure Spiritual Energy but instead fed them all to the Swallowing Sky Toad.
Although the Iron Armor Rhinoceroses were large, truth be told, apart from the largest one, the rest were only at the Qi Refining Realm. With Qin Feng's current wealth, he no longer bothered to strip and dismantle their materials; it was too ti-consuming and offered little reward.
With the ti he had, he could simply wander in the Secret Realm, where he might find more valuable materials than from the bodies of these rhinoceroses. Swallowing Sky Toad was about to advance in level, so feeding it with these rhinoceroses could speed up its cultivation process sowhat.
However, due to the large size of the Iron Armor Rhinoceroses, Swallowing Sky Toad could only consu one at a ti and needed to digest it before continuing.
Monts later, after he had collected the items and returned, Li Miaozhen had already retrieved several Spirit Pills and handed them to Wen Qing'er.
These were used to temporarily enhance Divine Sense strength and burst out True Yuan. Although taking these Spirit Pills would leave Wen Qing'er weak for a while afterwards, they would allow her to refine the Confusing God Flower Spirit in the shortest ti possible.
The night passed, and by noon the next day, Wen Qing'er had recovered quite a bit of her strength.
The previous night, with the help of the Spirit Pills, she had managed to refine the Flower Elf into her Lifebound in one go. However, the effect of the pills left her weak all over, with her Divine Sense and True Yuan depleted significantly, and her ridians showed many ruptures and damages due to fast circulation of True Yuan.
They gave her nurous tonics, and only by noon was she barely able to recover. Even so, once they returned to the Mountain Gate, she would still need one or two months of recuperation to fully recover.
Nonetheless, compared to what she gained, this was a small price to pay.
Therefore, when her condition had improved slightly, Wen Qing'er excitedly led them to subdue the Confusing God Flower Vine.
The others did not dare get too close, and only Wen Qing'er, bypassing many skeletons, leapt onto a huge skull and placed her hand on the vine.
In a brief mont, vines wrapped around Wen Qing'er's body like Spiritual Snakes, then gradually shrank and were collected by her.
Since her True Yuan was greatly depleted, it wasn't suitable for her to refine the vines further, even though the vines hardly resisted her.
Seeing her collect the Confusing God Flower Vine, the others lowered their defenses, left the pit, and approached Wen Qing'er.
"Quick, let see the Confusing God Flower you got."
Li Miaozhen, full of curiosity, said to Wen Qing'er, "Release a bit of the flower's fragrance later, I want to experience it."
"Okay, senior sister, be careful."
Wen Qing'er obediently extended her hand, revealing a vine in her palm. On the top of the vine was a blood-red Confusing God Flower.
The young girl had strong control over the Confusing God Flower; under her command, the flower slowly blood, and a faint fragrance lingered in front of Li Miaozhen, not affecting Qin Feng and the others.
Li Miaozhen sniffed the fragrance lightly. After a mont, her expression changed, and she quickly stepped back.
