Chapter 696: Chapter 695 Wrong Direction in Cultivation
After killing Chu Que and Chu Tianshu, the murderous intent in Yang Fei had dissipated quite a bit.
He wasn’t one to take pleasure in slaughtering the innocent; his main purpose in making a retaliatory strike was to eliminate Zhuge Cang. He hadn’t expected that old fox to have so many life-preserving tricks up his sleeve, managing to escape.
Picking up the Fusang Wood, Yang Fei looked toward Hu Lizhong.
The Military Departnt personnel who had been surrounding Hu Lizhong all ceased their attacks.
Old Hu quickly joined Yang Fei’s side.
Around them, those who had previously been firing like madn also stopped their assault.
Firstly, the deaths of Chu Que and Chu Tianshu and the escape of Zhuge Cang had a trendous deterrent effect on their psyche; secondly, considering the terrifying firepower they had unleashed, Yang Fei remained unscathed, deeply shaking their confidence. They concluded that such attacks were futile against him and that continuing to shoot would only be wasting ammunition.
Seeing that the other side was no longer firing, Yang Fei’s gaze swept around. Even when facing those dozen or so mbers of the Military Departnt who had betrayed Qin Yanyang, he didn’t say much and didn’t carry out a ruthless massacre.
Everyone has their own ambitions, and many things cannot be forced.
If even Qin Yanyang, a charismatic and heroic figure, couldn’t make them yield, then even if he could force them to bow down with martial power, he wouldn’t win their loyalty—it would only bring trouble.
"Tell those above you, in this age of great strife, it’s not wrong for everyone to fight for their own masters. But if you disregard justice and bring calamity upon family mbers, then I, Yang Fei, will do nothing else but target them for assassination. Tell them, if a single one of our family mbers suffers misfortune, then I, Yang Fei, will kill two of you, or even ten. Don’t forget, they’re not alone either; they too have families."
After speaking, Yang Fei and Hu Lizhong strode away.
Within the base, hundreds of elite soldiers ard with weapons stood by, yet not one of them fired a shot.
Because they were acutely aware of the gap between the two sides.
Even if they fired, they couldn’t keep Yang Fei there.
It would only bring horrific casualties upon themselves.
Moreover, with the two highest commanders, Chu Que and Chu Tianshu, dead, and the super-strong practitioner from the Hidden Sect, Zhuge Cang, having fled in defeat, these soldiers, earning a fixed salary and facing their compatriots—even seeing in them the powerful figures they admired in their hearts—what lives were they to gamble with?
Leaving Yunwu Mountain’s base, they continued on their way, passing many soldiers stationed along the road, all who seed to have already received orders from above and did not take any offensive action.
Hu Lizhong even managed to secure a vehicle, and the two of them left the Central Battle Zone’s controlled area in an ostentatious manner.
"That was damn exhilarating," Hu Lizhong couldn’t contain his excitent as he drove, "This is what they call penetrating an enemy’s camp with no one to stop you. The feeling of seizing the head of a general amidst an army of thousands, it’s just too thrilling."
Even though it was all Yang Fei’s doing, being involved mattered. Hu Lizhong was the sole companion, so Yang Fei’s achievents today also brought him glory by association.
Yang Fei was continuously checking his physical condition.
After the Thunder Talisman from Zhuge Cang struck him, he had obviously sustained so injuries and even briefly lost consciousness. The nearly explosive pain was unbearable, and he had scread out in agony.
However, upon hitting the ground, he had recovered. Not only that, but he could also feel that his body was significantly stronger than before.
The effects of Thunder and Lightning Tempering were just too good.
What’s more, the Fusang wood had played its part as well.
It seed to gather a large amount of Spiritual Energy within his body, protecting his heart ridians and healing his injuries.
Seeing Yang Fei sitting there calmly, occasionally touching certain parts of his body, Hu Lizhong curiously asked, "Brother Yang, what’s with your body? It seems as if swords and spears can’t penetrate you."
Upon hearing this, Yang Fei smiled and shook his head, "I haven’t reached the true point of being impervious to swords and spears, but compared to before, my body’s defense has indeed beco much stronger. It’s a pity that Zhuge Cang ran out of power later on and couldn’t give
a few more sessions of Thunder and Lightning Tempering."
Hu Lizhong couldn’t help but be amazed. If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he would have suspected that Yang Fei had a penchant for self-abuse. Who else would actually ask to be struck by lightning?
"I’ve found that perhaps people nowadays are going in the wrong direction with their cultivation," Yang Fei suddenly said.
Hu Lizhong was stunned, "The direction of cultivation is wrong?"
Yang Fei nodded, "I originally thought that after I had opened all the acupoints throughout my body and crafted an extrely powerful Body, I was in the Foundation Establishnt State and could pursue higher realms. However, this round of Thunder and Lightning Tempering has revealed new issues to ."
"What issues?" Hu Lizhong imdiately pressed.
Yang Fei replied, "After the Thunder and Lightning Tempering, I felt that the ridians within my body have widened and beco much more resilient and powerful. The flow of True Qi inside
has beco smoother, and even the strength of each output is stronger than before."
"Is this expanding the ridians?" Hu Lizhong asked, puzzled.
Upon hearing this, Yang Fei nodded, "Yes, it’s the feeling of the ridians being expanded. And it’s not just the ridians; I feel that every organ in my body, even my skin and bones, has been further strengthened."
Hu Lizhong, filled with envy, suddenly thought of sothing and couldn’t help but say, "Is it possible that although Thunder and Lightning Tempering is powerful, you also drank a lot of Genetic Liquid dicine? With the dual effects, your body has attained a certain degree of overall enhancent? After all, the Genetic Liquid dicine produced during this period has been consud by many people, so of whom have experienced genetic evolution."
Yang Fei pondered for a mont and nodded, "That is indeed possible. But regardless, I consider this an instance of a blessing in disguise. Apart from not having enhanced Divine Soul Power, I feel that my Physical Body Realm has been promoted to an unprecedented level."
As he spoke, he glanced at Hu Lizhong and said, "To say sothing you might not like to hear, in the past, to contend with soone of the Innate Realm without the support of Divine Soul Power, I could indeed win, but I had to exert myself and even use the Sky Splitting Divine Fist. But now, I feel that against soone like you, I can directly kill with just my basic strength."
Hu Lizhong, recalling the scene of Yang Fei slaying Chu Que and Chu Tianshu, had no doubt about his words.
Although he was now much more formidable than Chu Que and Chu Tianshu, the combat power Yang Fei had shown today was so extraordinary that it gave him the feeling of invincibility.
"Moreover, I used to feel that my True Yuan storage was full, but now, I feel it’s far from enough. That’s why I say the previous direction of cultivation was wrong. It seems that our Bodies need to be continuously strengthened and tempered, the ridians constantly expanded. Only in this way can we truly solidify a realm, reach the Perfect State of that realm, and then move on to higher realms of cultivation," Yang Fei said seriously.
Listening, Hu Lizhong nodded in agreent, "Brother Yang, your speculation might be correct. Following your approach, it’s clear you can reach greater heights, and each realm will be much stronger than the current ones. Perhaps the reason why there are gaps in the realms of cultivation on Earth today is because the foundation is not solid enough."
After discussing the matters of cultivation for a while, the car had already driven out of the mountainous area.
Hu Lizhong asked, "Where are we heading?"
"First, let’s find a way to switch cars, then we’ll go check on your ho," Yang Fei said.
Upon hearing this, Hu Lizhong’s eyes reddened, and he looked at Yang Fei with emotion, "Brother Yang, I..."
Yang Fei interrupted, "There’s no need for formalities between you and . I’ve heard you ntion before that your ho is in Jiangbei. Since the incident happened today, your family may not have been relocated in ti. Let’s go take a look, and if there’s a chance, we’ll take them with us."
Hu Lizhong, with his chest slightly heaving, said, "Brother Yang, whether you believe it or not, from now on, my life is yours."
Yang Fei laughed, "What use would I have for your life? To , once soone is a friend, it’s for a lifeti."
Hu Lizhong’s eyes grew even redder and his breathing quickened.
Friend!
So Brother Yang truly considered , Hu Lizhong, as a real friend.
