Chapter 7: Heavenly Authority

  The woman in blue suddenly appeared, shocking the monks at the door. The flying sword shot towards Jiang Feng and the woman in blue without hesitation.

  The woman took the yellow cloth from Jiang Feng's hand and immediately unfolded it. Only to see a faint golden light emanating from the yellow cloth. The long sword patterns on it began to flash. Before the flying swords arrived, several long swords flew out of the yellow cloth towards the cultivators at the door.

  The long sword flying out of the yellow cloth is not a real long sword. It was an array attack that was emitted after the spiritual power stimulated the formation on the yellow cloth. Jiang Feng went to take this yellow cloth because he heard the hint from the woman in blue clothes.

  A long sword emitting golden light rushed out and collided head-on with the flying swords of the monks at the door. Moreover, two long swords were also fluttering around Jiang Feng's side, protecting him.

  In the collision, those flying swords of the cultivators were knocked open one after another. Two flying swords even broke directly, causing two cultivators at the door to spit blood loudly. Those golden long swords also dimmed a lot, but still flew quickly towards the cultivators at the door.

  The sword flashed, and the monks at the door either used talismans to resist or dodged to one side. Two monks who dodged too slowly were struck dead by the long sword. Another monk who tried to resist with a talisman but failed was also pierced through the chest.

  At the moment when the monks at the door dodged the long sword on the sword array, the woman in blue grabbed Jiang Feng and rushed towards the door. Almost at the same time that the long sword killed the enemy, the woman in blue took Jiang Feng out of the door.

  "Chase them, we can't let them get away!" a monk shouted loudly.

  These monks have seen that the woman in blue, although her cultivation is not visible, but from the situation of taking Jiang Feng away after one move, she is unwilling to make more contact with them. It was this point that gave these monks confidence.

  Jiang Feng, who was caught by the woman in blue, clearly felt that the body of the woman beside him had become faint and her complexion was not good. From the change in the woman's body, Jiang Feng saw that this woman was not a real person, but rather like a ghost.

  Not far from where Jiang Feng ran out, the blue-clothed woman's speed slowed down, and her face looked even more difficult. The cultivators chasing behind were getting closer and closer.

  Perhaps she knew she couldn't run far. The woman in blue stopped abruptly. She slapped the yellow cloth onto Jiang Feng's body, then squatted down and pressed her hands against Jiang Feng's shoes. A stream of spiritual energy flowed into the shoes through the woman's hands.

  "Hurry up and go as far away as possible." The woman in blue said hastily.

  "What can you do? You can't stop them." Jiang Feng said anxiously.

  "It's none of your business, I won't die." The woman in blue said somewhat flustered. As soon as she finished speaking, she pushed Jiang Feng forward with force. Jiang Feng involuntarily ran forward.

  It's as if Jiang Feng's entire body had become lighter. With a push from the woman in blue, he quickly sprinted forward like a gust of wind. The shoes on his feet kept flashing golden light. In just an instant, Jiang Feng was gone.

  "That little brat still has treasures on him, we can't let him get away." The pursuing monk said.

  At this time, the woman in blue was facing those pursuing monks, her hands constantly forming seals. Then from her hands, a ball of fire was thrown over. Temporarily blocking those monks.

  Although the fireballs were numerous, they only initially blocked those monks. After the fireballs killed two monks, the blue-robed woman's body became even more ethereal. The thrown fireballs no longer had any attacking power. The remaining six monks charged forward and with just one glance, sent the blue-robed woman flying out.

  "I thought it was something else, but it's just an illusion of a spell." A monk said as he approached the woman in blue.

  These monks apparently didn't want to waste time and wanted to quickly get rid of the woman in blue, so they went after Jiang Feng. They also thought that without the woman in blue, Jiang Feng would not be able to escape their grasp.

  Just as a fierce fire talisman was about to fall and kill the woman in blue, a shadowy figure rushed over from afar and rescued her before the talisman exploded.

  "Good kid, you actually dare to come back and save people. I'll see where you run." The monk shouted loudly, chasing after him.

  It was Jiang Feng who saved the woman in blue. Although he wasn't much of a hero, he couldn't just watch a woman die to save himself.

  "What are you back for, come to send yourself to death?" said the woman in blue clothes who was almost disappearing in Jiang Feng's arms.

  "I couldn't bear to watch you die. I'm not capable of doing such a thing." Jiang Feng said while running, but his speed gradually slowed down.

  "I died before you, it was my fate. I don't care, what are you coming back for?" the woman in blue said.

  "You don't care, but I do." Jiang Feng said as he looked back. The monks chasing him were getting closer and closer, while his speed was getting slower and slower.

  "It seems like you can't escape now. Can you tell me your name before you die?"

  "What kind of ghost are you? How can you come out in broad daylight?" Jiang Feng said.

  The woman in blue was becoming increasingly transparent and her complexion looked even worse. However, her spirit remained good. Upon hearing Jiang Feng say this, the woman in blue seemed to be very angry.

  "I'm not a ghost, I'm human!" The woman in blue shouted.

  Jiang Feng didn't say anything, but in his heart he said, "Where did you come from with this kind of attitude? Don't even consider the occasion when deceiving people."

  The monks chasing behind were getting closer and closer, and the talismans had already started flying over to attack. Jiang Feng could only dodge non-stop. The light on his shoes was getting weaker and slower. And at this moment, the most serious thing was that he had run to a cliff, and there was no way out.

  Those monks, seeing Jiang Feng had nowhere to escape, were overjoyed. At the same time, they all kept a distance from each other, preventing others from launching a sneak attack. On the contrary, as they gradually closed in on Jiang Feng, their mutual vigilance greatly slowed down their speed.

  "There's no way out. This time we're done for." Jiang Feng said.

  The woman in blue had already been put beside him by Jiang Feng. She looked at the approaching monks, feeling very anxious. In the end, she gritted her teeth and said, "There's still a way, we can give it a try."

  "What's going on?" Jiang Feng hastily asked.

  "What about the Huosang fruit? Take it out and eat it after they get close. But be prepared, you might end up in a puff of smoke, without even leaving any ashes behind." The woman in blue said.

  When he heard the four words "ashes to ashes", Jiang Feng's heart was shocked. He didn't think that eating the Huo Sang fruit would be so serious. But at this time, there was no room for Jiang Feng to think more. He quickly took out the Huo Sang fruit that had been bitten off from his helmet on his head.

  "Don't tell me I ate that thing and became a monster. Then kill them all, and finally die myself." Jiang Feng asked.

  "It's worse than that. Even more miserable." The woman in blue replied.

  Jiang Feng didn't say anything else, just watching as those people approached. He first adjusted the steel helmet on his head, then opened his palm to reveal the Fire Spirit Fruit.

  "What's in his hand? Is it a Fire Spirit Fruit? What is he going to do?" A monk said with confusion.

  "We're at the end of our rope, what can we do? But this kid still has a lot of good stuff on him. An ordinary person can get so many treasures, it's really enviable." Another cultivator said.

  Those monks all had a smile on their faces, and they walked towards Jiang Feng without haste. At this time, the woman in blue beside Jiang Feng disappeared after glancing at him once. Jiang Feng knew that the woman was not dead, but rather hiding as before, and it was very likely that she was hiding on his body.

  Watching those monks getting closer and closer. When they approached within ten steps of themselves, they swallowed the Fire Spirit Fruit in one gulp. Those monks all furrowed their brows, thinking that it wasn't the Fire Spirit Fruit but some kind of attack-boosting elixir?

  At this time, Jiang Feng, after eating the Fire Spirit Fruit, immediately felt a warm current rising from his stomach. This warm current quickly spread throughout his body. Jiang Feng only felt that a not small amount of power was being born within his body. This power was also transforming into spiritual energy.

  At this moment, Ling power was born in Jiang Feng's body. Just as his body was about to be baptized by the medicinal effect of Huo Sang Guo, dark clouds suddenly gathered in the sky and a loud rumbling thunder sounded.

  Those monks who were walking towards Jiang Feng all stopped. They looked up at the dark sky together, not knowing what was going to happen. At this time, a large amount of lightning had gathered in the dark clouds in the sky. A few seconds later, just as Jiang Feng could no longer withstand the effect of the Huo Sang Guo, a bolt of lightning struck down and directly hit Jiang Feng.

  This bolt of lightning was like a fuse that had been ignited. In the moment when the lightning struck Jiang Feng, several more bolts fell. Only this time, they were not aimed at Jiang Feng, but at those cultivators. Because these cultivators were also within the range of attack.

  In an instant, numerous lightning bolts appeared in front of the mountain cliff. Most of the lightning bolts were heading towards Jiang Feng. Some were also heading towards those cultivators. The lightning bolts grew more and more numerous, denser and denser. Those cultivators wanted to escape, but not a single one succeeded. In just a few seconds, the cultivators who had been chasing Jiang Feng all died from being struck by lightning.

  The rumbling thunder grew louder and the falling lightning bolts stronger. These lightning bolts were nothing to a cultivator with slightly stronger powers, but to Jiang Feng, they were deadly.

  The thunder in the dark clouds spread far and wide. Along with it, a heavenly might even more powerful than thunder and lightning also spread out. This heavenly might was so strong that it even reached the sealed-off forbidden land, causing many cultivators guarding outside the forbidden land to feel its power.

  "What's going on? Why is there such a disturbance within the forbidden area?" A monk outside the forbidden area asked in confusion.

  "This aura is as if it's heavenly might. Could it be that within the forbidden land, there are high-ranking cultivators undergoing their Heavenly Tribulation?" Another cultivator said.

  The two words "Tian Jie" shocked many cultivators. Those who can cross the calamity are top-notch strongmen. Such people are not what these cultivators can afford to provoke.
