Chapter Thirty-One: Blood Knife

  "He wants it from you, just give it to him." Jiang Feng said to the monk beside him with a pretended tone of anger.

  That cultivator looked very wronged and said: "What can be done about it? That person is probably a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, I'm no match for him."

  "You can't beat him, but you can run. We'll split up and run separately, he can only chase one of us. That way, at least one person will be able to get away," said Jiang Feng.

  "You didn't run either. If you had, I might have followed suit." the monk said.

  "Alright, let's just drop it. Neither of you is any better than the other, and both of you are a disappointment."

  "It's not worth losing your life over. Think about it, is your life more important or the elixir? Haven't you noticed that there are bloodstains on his sleeve? If we don't give in, he might just kill us." The monk said.

  Jiang Feng naturally noticed it. Otherwise, he wouldn't have obediently handed over the elixir. He was just very unhappy in his heart.

  "Look at these people around us, they're all like lunatics. Don't they know that harmony is precious?" said the monk beside Jiang Feng, gazing at the monks fighting all around them.

  The masters here have been fighting fiercely since the elixir flew out of the small mountain, and now they are in a fierce battle, with many people already dead.

  As they spoke, a half-corps fell over. Jiang Feng and the monk hastily dodged out of the way. Looking at the monk who was left with only half his body, Jiang Feng shook his head, with an expression that said it wasn't worth it.

  "Right, I haven't asked for your esteemed name yet. I am Blood Blade, may I ask what is your honorable name?" said the cultivator beside Jiang Feng.

  Jiang Feng was searching for Yue Zi Feng, thinking to himself that he had better not be dead. Hearing the words of the person beside him, Jiang Feng casually replied: "I'm Jiang Feng, from the Wu Xing Sword Sect. People with the surname Xue are quite rare."

  "I'm not surnamed Blood, but Blood Knife is my title. How's that, isn't this title intimidating? I'll tell you, from now on, whenever there's something going on, just mention the name Blood Knife. No matter which fairy or Buddha hears it, they'll have to give me a wide berth."

  "Wow, you're really something. I've never seen anyone who can talk bigger than me before. From now on, I'll just rely on you to cover for me." Jiang Feng joked.

  In the crowd, Jiang Feng saw Yue Zi and his brother. They flew back with a somewhat disheveled appearance. Judging from their gloomy faces, they probably didn't get anything.

  Jiang Feng was just about to speak with Yue Zifeng when he saw a black dot fly by from beside him. Their eyes simultaneously looked over, and Xue Dao's speed was the fastest, as he was the first to dash over and pick up that dan medicine. After picking it up, he even showed it off to Jiang Feng.

  "Hand it over, I saw it first." Just as Xue Dao was feeling pleased with himself, he heard a voice behind him. He turned his head to see a Qi Refining Seventh Layer cultivator controlling a flying sword, glaring at him with an angry face.

  "There's no need to get angry, let's just talk it out. Look at this dan medicine, I clearly picked it up first..."

  "That was what I had my eyes on first. Hand it over, or else I'll take action." The monk cut in with a fierce expression, interrupting the Blood Blade's words.

  Xue Dao stood there, then slowly stretched out his hand and handed the elixir to the Taoist. The Taoist grabbed it in one swift motion, turned around and flew away. Jiang Feng, who was not far away, covered his face and sighed. Xue Dao walked back with a look of having narrowly escaped death.

  "That monk was so fierce, it was really dangerous. We almost got into a fight. It really scared me to death," said Xue Dao.

  "Are you kidding me? The one just now wasn't a Foundation Building cultivator, but a Qi Refining seventh layer. You're already at the ninth layer of Qi Refining, just one step away from Foundation Building. What are you still afraid of him for?" Jiang Feng said, his face completely expressing "you're such a coward".

  Xue Dao looked confused and first turned his head to look behind him before saying: "I know, I'm not afraid of him either."

  "How dare you say you're not afraid of him. Look at you, it's clear that you're scared out of your wits." Jiang Feng said.

  "I'm not afraid of losing to him, I'm afraid that if we fight, I'll end up hurting him. Let me tell you, fighting is bad for everyone. Whoever gets hurt, it's all bad. Everything should be harmonious." Blood Knife said seriously.

  This remark left Jiang Feng and Yue Zifeng stunned. Neither of them understood where Jiang Feng had met such a weirdo. Jiang Feng, on the other hand, was looking down, as if searching for something.

  "Just you wait until I find a brick, I'll smash you to death." Jiang Feng muttered to himself as he searched around.

  "Harmony is precious, harmony is precious, but absolutely cannot resort to force." Xue Dao said while making evasive movements.

  Yue Zifeng and his brother looked at each other, both shaking their heads in confusion, unable to understand what was going on with Jiang Feng and Xue Dao. Yue Zifeng also spoke up: "Jiang fellow daoist, those elixirs are probably very hard to obtain. Not long after, high-ranking cultivators will likely arrive. What do you think we should do now?"

  Jiang Feng stopped his idea of using a brick to cut the blood knife, looked at the cracked small mountain and thought for a moment before saying: "Since we've encountered this matter, it can't be wasted. Even if nothing is gained, watching the excitement is good too. Let's wait for a while and see what changes will happen."

  "Right, we must wait a bit longer. There must be treasure there, we can't just leave like this." said Blood Knife.

  No one paid attention to Xue Dao, and Yuezi Feng and his brother didn't want to miss the current situation either. They retreated a little further away and watched from afar.

  A large number of elixirs flew out from the cracked small mountain, some were obtained by the cultivators, and some flew far away. That huge alchemy furnace still exists in the air. With just this alchemy furnace alone, it's unknown how many cultivators will be attracted to come.

  In fact, soon this area gathered more monks. At first, they were all some scattered cultivators nearby, and the strongest was only in the later stage of foundation building. Later, it became unstoppable, with high-ranking monks rushing over one after another. Not to mention the Golden Dan period, even monks in the Purple Mansion period and Lingtai period appeared.

  Although there are more and more masters, the small mountain that cracked open is still impossible to approach. No matter what kind of master it is, as long as they get close to that place, they will be unlucky. In the several hours of waiting, I don't know how many masters who ventured in lost their lives. The small mountain also no longer spews out elixirs. Nor does anyone know what's inside the small mountain.

  Jiang Feng and the others were in a situation where they couldn't do anything. Even if there really was treasure, it wouldn't be their turn. They could only watch with excitement and wait.

  Waiting is really boring. Jiang Feng sat alone drinking wine, while Yue Zifeng and his brother chatted idly from time to time. What they talked about the most was why no masters of Wuxing Sword Sect had arrived yet.

  Xue Dao was also bored, he took out a flat wooden box, and from inside, he pulled out many large and small knives, holding a whetstone to sharpen them. Looking at the knives, they seemed to be kitchen utensils. It's possible that Xue Dao was actually a chef by origin.

  From daytime to evening, all the way until deep into the night, it wasn't until then that the cracked little mountain underwent another change. The ground there thoroughly burst open. The dan furnace in the sky also collapsed at this time. From underground, a gigantic creature suddenly rushed out.

  That was a huge alchemy furnace. Although it wasn't as big as the one formed by the gathering of the aurora in the sky, it was still very large. Moreover, its shape was exactly the same as that of the aurora-formed furnace.

  After the cauldron burst out of the ground, it flew towards the sky. At this time, many cultivators rushed into the air and flew towards the cauldron. But before they could fly far, several powerful auras came flying from afar. These few auras were extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, they approached the cauldron. The other cultivators who were rushing over were all blown away, regardless of whether they were in the Purple Mansion Realm or the Spiritual Platform Realm.

  The masters were all stunned, knowing that a top-notch expert had arrived. They no longer dared to move forward. Those who rushed towards the Dan furnace, as soon as they approached the Dan furnace, launched an attack. However, the Dan furnace didn't budge and continued to soar into the sky. The speed was getting faster and faster, and it quickly disappeared from sight. The powerful masters who attacked the Dan furnace also chased after it all the way.

  The alchemy furnace was gone, but the cultivators who came here did not leave. One by one, they flew over to where the alchemy furnace had appeared. At this time, that place had already become a mess of rocks. These cultivators all thought that there were still elixirs there, and that's why they went over. Jiang Feng and Xue Dao, also mixed in with the crowd at the back, headed towards that place as well.

  Those monks who rushed to the front had not yet made any discoveries, and a green light suddenly appeared in the place where the Dan furnace was located. This green light quickly spread out. Under this green light, all flying monks fell towards the ground.
