Chapter 474: Chapter 471: Spring and Autumn Ruler, Divine Beast Bones Chapter 474: Chapter 471: Spring and Autumn Ruler, Divine Beast Bones The crowd outside was in an uproar.
Apart from those from his own Sect who were familiar with Qin Feng, very few people knew that Qin Feng practiced Body Refining Techniques.
Even among the Cultivators who knew about the existence of the Four Phases Divine Decree in the Beast Taming Sect, none imagined that Qin Feng’s cultivation in Body Refining had reached such profound levels.
The cultivators present were all geniuses from various Sects. Even if they were not True Disciples, they were outstanding individuals within their Sects, otherwise, they would not have been brought by their elders to participate in the trial of the Five Domains Alliance.
Thus, these cultivators had extrely discerning eyes. They could tell from the vigorous Qi Blood Power emanating from Qin Feng that his Body Cultivation Technique had definitely advanced to the Purple Mansion Realm; otherwise, he wouldn’t possess such imnse physical strength.
Furthermore, after Qin Feng rged with his Lifebound Spiritual Beast, his aura surged dramatically, much stronger than an ordinary Purple Mansion Body Cultivator.
At this point, everyone suddenly realized that neither Li Miao Zhen in her duel with Tang Sanyuan nor Qin Feng in his competition against Fang Chengqian had used their Spiritual Beasts.
The main reason was that the combat was so thrilling that everyone had overlooked this aspect.
Now that they saw Qin Feng rging with his Lifebound Spiritual Beast, their faces couldn’t help but slightly change.
They watched the wildly fierce Qin Feng in the arena and then looked at Li Miao Zhen standing next to Lianxing, feeling sowhat stirred.
These two were already so formidable without using their Lifebound Spiritual Beasts, especially Li Miao Zhen, who had even gained the upper hand against Tang Sanyuan earlier.
How much stronger would she be if she also rged with her Lifebound Spiritual Beast?
Even if she summoned other Spiritual Beasts, how many of the cultivators present could contend against her?
Ordinary disciples of the Beast Taming Sect might only possess Spiritual Beasts matching their own strength, but at the state of Qin Feng and Li Miao Zhen, no one believed they couldn’t subdue Purple Mansion Realm Spiritual Beasts!
With this in mind, the watching cultivators’ estimation of Qin Feng and Li Miao Zhen rose yet another level.
It couldn’t be helped; the Beast Taming Sect indeed had a significant advantage in this regard!
If Qin Feng and Li Miao Zhen, like the majority of the Beast Taming Sect disciples, had their combat strength weakened by other major Sects because they spent too much ti and energy nurturing their Spiritual Beasts, it would be one thing.
But it just so happened that even without using Spiritual Beasts, the True Disciples of the Beast Taming Sect were not weak compared to other cultivators of the sa level, not to ntion outstanding individuals like Qin Feng and Li Miao Zhen.
Even when they were not using Spiritual Beasts, they were already fighting fiercely against top geniuses like Fang Chengqian and Tang Sanyuan. Now that Qin Feng had used his Lifebound Spiritual Beast, how much stronger was his combat strength compared to before?
Although they were all geniuses and True Disciples carefully cultivated by their respective Sects, there were truly few who dared to compare themselves with Qin Feng and Li Miao Zhen.
In the arena, Fang Chengqian was also startled when he saw Qin Feng suddenly rge with his Lifebound Spiritual Snake!
However, being a top genius of the Spring and Autumn Academy, his strength was naturally not limited to this.
Qin Feng had not used his Spiritual Beast before, and he likewise had not exerted his full strength.
After all, this was just a friendly match, not a life-or-death feud; there was certainly no need to give it his all.
Now seeing Qin Feng getting serious, Fang Chengqian was surprised at Qin Feng’s formidable Physical Body Power, but he was not at all afraid.
He pointed his finger, and the scripture suddenly radiated brilliantly, countless scriptures erging from it, stringing together into Saint Scriptures and Daoist Texts.
These texts ford two parts; one half was for defense, forming a gorgeous defensive wall in front of him as impenetrable as a wall of bronze and iron. The other part transford into a storm of blade and spear rain, rushing towards Qin Feng to obstruct his movent.
Fang Chengqian was a Confucian Cultivator, always priding himself as a gentleman.
As a cultured man who had imrsed himself in poetry and literature since childhood, he was unwilling to engage in bare-chested physical brawls like those crude and overbearing body cultivators, which he found to be a disgrace to his refinent!
Therefore, he wanted to keep Qin Feng at a distance, maintaining a back-and-forth battle with Qin Feng, and he could even use the power of Saint Scriptures to suppress Qin Feng’s fiery temper and battle will, trapping him in his own rhythm of combat.
Unfortunately, at this mont, rage surged in Qin Feng’s heart. In addition, after rging with his Lifebound Spiritual Snake, his defensive power had increased manifold. Facing attacks ford from text, like the rain of swords and spears conjured by Fang Chengqian, he neither dodged nor evaded but charged straight ahead, plowing through them.
Bang bang bang…
A series of crisp explosive sounds erupted.
It was the sound of countless text-ford spells being utterly shattered by Qin Feng’s physical body.
Although his magic robe suffered so damage, Qin Feng’s physical body remained unhard.
The Azure Dragon Daoist Body focused on recovery and stamina, but being a body cultivation technique, it inherently possessed formidable defensive power. Having cultivated to this level, he could condense a layer of invisible Azure Dragon Armor on his body. After rging with the Ruyi Golden Snake, the Azure Dragon Armor intertwined with the scales of the Ruyi Golden Snake, creating terrifyingly strong defense, naturally impervious to re text-ford spells.
Seeing this, Fang Chengqian narrowed his eyes and quietly increased the input of his vast energy, stealthily releasing several ancient Daoist texts from the scripture.
Tang Sanyuan, the chief disciple from the Poetry Institute, could condense several ancient Daoist texts, and Fang Chengqian, as the chief of the Scripture Interpretation Division, certainly couldn’t be weaker than Tang Sanyuan. He concealed these texts amidst nurous other characters, making them nearly impossible to detect without close observation.
Qin Feng, with his keen divine sense, felt a chilling sensation the mont those ancient Daoist texts appeared and was naturally cautious.
His fingers glead with bright golden light, unleashing the Golden Hole Finger repeatedly. Bang bang bang bang bang… Several bursts shattered the ancient Daoist texts.
Though his fingers were excruciatingly painful, and even the scales and nails on his fingers were slightly fractured by the backlash of the Daoist text’s laws, he didn’t pause for a mont. His figure continued moving forward, employing the Shrinking Ground to Inch Divine Power to instantly close the distance to Fang Chengqian, swinging his fist right towards Fang Chengqian’s face.
Fang Chengqian’s expression turned unsightly.
He hadn’t expected Qin Feng, after rging with his Lifebound Spiritual Beast, to be so fierce, capable of piercing ancient Daoist texts ford by Daoist laws with his fingers. To what extent had this man’s body refining realm reached?
He could hardly imagine what would happen if Qin Feng poked him with his finger—it might just create a bloody hole!
However, he was not afraid of Qin Feng, only reluctant to engage in close combat with him.
“Long rivers stretch up to where white clouds lie, a solitary city and a mountain ten thousand feet high.”
With a soft chant, the text in front of Fang Chengqian suddenly transford, turning into a surging river blocking Qin Feng’s path.
Behind the river, mountains lood, appearing only a few dozen feet tall yet giving an impression of towering, unscalable grandeur!
“Open!”
Qin Feng roared, stomping down. The river ceased flowing, and with a punch, the mountains collapsed.
Fang Chengqian hastily held his book horizontally in front of him, blocking Qin Feng’s punch.
Boom!
A thunderous noise resounded!
Subsequently, Fang Chengqian’s figure rapidly retreated a hundred feet with the force of Qin Feng’s punch, seeking to widen the gap between them. Otherwise, what difference would there be from a street thug, and he particularly wished not to dean himself, especially in front of so many people!
But while he wished to retreat, Qin Feng was not willing to let him go.
At long last, Qin Feng had closed the distance with this fellow. If he didn’t take advantage of this situation, and instead let him escape, wouldn’t all his efforts be wasted? Moreover, he would have to endure this fellow’s incessant prattling about Saint Scriptures again.
By now, Qin Feng had gained ample combat experience, so he easily grasped Fang Chengqian’s mindset, knowing that this guy wanted to preserve his image and did not wish to engage in close combat.
This was normal, scholars after all care deeply about saving face; they definitely wouldn’t want to do things that might disgrace their scholarly reputation.
If his Confucian robe were to be torn, and his hair bun ssed up, it would indeed look rather unsightly.
However, this also indicated that this guy had weaknesses.
Or rather, this was a flaw common to most Confucian cultivators, which was their aloofness.
If one could set aside such issues, Confucianism was actually a very comprehensive cultivation system. The six arts of a gentleman were not just for show; they not only pushed these arts to their limits but also derived many other techniques.
Within Lingxiao City, Qin Feng had seen many scholars who habitually carried swords—and these swords were not just for decoration.
In fact, although Confucian cultivation deeply differed from the Daoist thods, they also adopted the outstanding elents from other techniques, like Martial Arts.
The phrase ‘versed in both literature and martial arts’ rarely appeared among the disciples of the War God Palace in the Southern Domain who primarily practiced Martial Arts, but in the major academies of the Central Region, one would often encounter students known for their prowess in both literary and martial arts; these scholars’ abilities in combat were not inferior to ordinary Martial Cultivators.
Qin Feng quickly made a judgnt. Fang Chengqian’s retreat to avoid close combat suggested that he hadn’t trained in Martial Arts. With this in mind, Qin Feng couldn’t let him get away!
He took a step forward, and under the enhancent of the Shrinking Ground to Inch divine power, regardless of Fang Chengqian’s lightning-fast speed, Qin Feng stuck to him like a bone-burrowing maggot, shadowing him closely, impossible to shake off or break free, causing great frustration in Fang Chengqian’s heart.
Before Fang Chengqian could even furrow his brows, he saw Qin Feng reaching out and grabbing directly toward his face.
At that mont, Qin Feng’s arm suddenly elongated, stretching out more than ten feet, startling Fang Chengqian.
However, he reacted swiftly. He held a scripture horizontally in front of him, the pages flapping loudly as countless characters surged out.
But this ti, Qin Feng didn’t give him a chance to form a divine protection. As the characters were just beginning to appear, Qin Feng flicked his fingers continuously. With a series of phantasmic movents, he released countless golden sparks, shattering each character.
Fang Chengqian slapped his hand down, and the scripture abruptly snapped shut, its cover facing Qin Feng.
Only two words were on the cover: Holy Word!
As Qin Feng saw those two words, the characters suddenly flew off the cover, one to the left and one to the right, falling towards him.
As the word ‘Holy’ erged, imdiately streams of holy light appeared, shining upon Qin Feng, trying to dissolve his will to fight and weaken the fierce energy within him.
The word ‘Word’ hung in the air, faintly echoing with loud reading sounds. It seed to Qin Feng’s ears as if countless scholars were reciting the Saint Scriptures, wanting to enlighten him and make him understand the ultimate principles of heaven and earth!
“Heh!”
Qin Feng smirked, “Brother Fang’s scholarship in moral texts is indeed profound. However, relying solely on these tricks to defeat is still not enough!”
With these words, he threw two punches, dimming the holy light from ‘Holy’ and silencing the ‘Word.’
However, these characters had already been manifested into their true forms by Fang Chengqian, so they weren’t destroyed. Instead, they flew back to the scripture, quickly recovering with the aid of the scripture.
But Fang Chengqian also knew that relying solely on the scripture, he indeed was no match for Qin Feng.
With this realization, he took a deep breath and then pulled out a ruler from within his wide sleeves.
It was the ruler used by academy masters to teach students, asuring seven inches and six points long, with the disciplines of the Spring and Autumn Academy engraved on its surface.
This was a prohibition left by the Saints, so invisibly, there was the blessing of laws.
He raised the ruler into the air and then struck it towards Qin Feng’s head.
Bang!
“Ow…”
Under the envelopnt of these invisible rules, Qin Feng unexpectedly couldn’t dodge the blow, which caused sparks to fly from his forehead, nearly knocking him to the ground with that single hit.
This startled him.
However, after the intense, piercing pain subsided, he quickly regained his composure, “Hehe, turns out it’s a great treasure, too bad the ruler only serves as a punishnt tool, its killing power doesn’t seem very strong, huh?”
Fang Chengqian was speechless.
Indeed, the main function of the ruler was for punishnt, and its killing power was indeed not as strong as that of the Flying Sword Divine Weapon, but that didn’t an it couldn’t kill, it was just that this guy’s defensive power was too strong.
He had also used this ruler to fight with Demon Beasts before and had once smashed a small mountain.
Yet under such a formidable attack, it only caused sparks to fly off Qin Feng’s forehead.
Although this was related to him not using his full strength, it shouldn’t have left Qin Feng completely unresponsive, right?
Fang Chengqian reached out to point at the ruler, preparing to increase his strength a bit more to give Qin Feng a harsher blow and let this guy realize his own prowess!
After all, this Spiritual Treasure had the wonderful principle of the Saint’s teachings, making it often hard for opponents to dodge and could only endure.
But before the ruler could fall, Qin Feng’s hand reached up and caught the ruler directly, and despite the ruler’s desperate struggling and shaking left and right, he didn’t let go at all.
“Hehe, now, it’s my turn, right?”
Qin Feng revealed his snow-white glistening teeth, which sent chills through Fang Chengqian’s heart.
Just as he was about to say sothing, he saw Qin Feng’s figure suddenly shake and transform into a giant three zhang tall, with fists the size of water jars, hamring down towards him.
“Not good!”
Before the fist even arrived, the wind from the punch had already enveloped Fang Chengqian’s figure.
Fang Chengqian inwardly cried out trouble and pulled on a scripture, which instantly transford into 108 pages shimring with golden light and ford into a strange protective shield around him.
Boom, boom, boom…
Qin Feng continuously swung down, not only slamming Fang Chengqian from the sky to the ground but also breaking through the ground’s prohibitions with each punch, creating a massive hole and blowing Fang Chengqian into the ground.
“Ah…”
Although Fang Chengqian was unhard, he was extrely embarrassed, and as Qin Feng’s punches kept coming, about to break through those pages, he couldn’t help but bellow angrily, suddenly offering a palm-sized, jade-white bone fragnt.
This bone fragnt, brimming with ancient charm and full of the vicissitudes of the ages, was clearly a treasure handed down from endless years ago.
Though the bone fragnt was ancient, and inherently indestructible, the true formidable aspect was not the bone fragnt itself, but rather a Daoist Text engraved on it!
This was an ancient relic venerated in the Ancestor Hall of Spring and Autumn Academy, using bones of an Ancient Divine Beast as the dium, with a Daoist Text inscribed, carrying the magic of the Dao Principle. In the hands of so Great Cultivators, its power could even rival that of an Immortal Artifact!
