Chapter 9: The Fearsome Li Madman

  Neither Zhang Heng beside Li Feng nor Luo Xianzi who was turning around to leave could have ever imagined that Li Feng would suddenly go mad and attack Luo Bingxue.

  Li Feng displayed his swift and decisive speed, blinking his eyes and instantly casting a second-tier spell, the Fire Ring Technique.

  In the void, a huge, swirling ring of fire with scorching hot air waves rushed towards Luoxianzi at an incredible speed.

  Second-order magic is a technique that can be used by practitioners in the refining period, and its power is several times greater than that of first-order magic. In the cultivation world, first-order magic is not even on the same level, and only cultivators in the Qi-gathering period will go learn it.

  Some disciples of the Qi Refining stage who have no hope of advancing to the Foundation Building stage for their entire lives will leave the sect and go to the secular world, relying on a few tricks of the first-grade spell to intimidate those officials and nobles, and be revered as immortal masters, thus enjoying worldly glory and wealth. The cultivators of the Qi Refining stage can't even defeat some martial artists with high martial arts skills. For example, Zhou Hang, a former outer disciple, was directly thrown out by Yan Fei.

  Fortunately, Zhang Heng's physical body had already reached the Refining Qi stage of cultivation. Otherwise, even with the existence of the Variant Technique, he would not have been able to break through to the Refining Qi stage and cultivate it.

  Li Feng's spellcasting speed shocked Zhang Heng, which was twice as fast as his own, although part of the reason was that he had not fully merged with this flesh, but even the original Tang Feng was far inferior to Li Feng in terms of spellcasting speed.

  Just as the huge ring of fire was about to pounce on Luoxianzi's delicate body, at this critical moment, Luoxue's slender fingers like crystal jade struck out a few spells in the air, and a wave of spiritual energy fluctuated. A layer of cyan-colored flowing gas formed around her body.

  "With a 'huh' sound, Luoxianzi's speed suddenly increased with the help of the green airflow, and in the blink of an eye, she dodged several meters away, narrowly avoiding the fierce pounce of the Fire Ring Technique."

  Wrapped in a layer of hazy blue gas, Luoxiangzi revealed an otherworldly beauty. She drove the colored streamers and retreated several feet before stopping.

  At this time, Li Feng had already distanced himself from her, and his Flame Ring Technique could no longer reach her.

  Zhang Heng couldn't help but secretly admire them, the quality of these two people was indeed not ordinary. If it were himself, he absolutely wouldn't be able to do as well. He secretly made up his mind that after returning to Feng Xing Gate, he would definitely have to practice his magic skills diligently, otherwise in future battles he would suffer a great disadvantage.

  At this moment, Li Feng burst out laughing in the sky: "What Fang Yunshan's hundred-year-old genius, can't withstand a single blow, it's just a delicate skin bag."

  Not far away, Luoxianzi's expression didn't change, and it was unclear what she was thinking in her heart. After a moment of silence, she finally opened her cherry lips and said: "Li Feng, what do you want to do?"

  Li Feng burst into another fit of maniacal laughter: "What do I want? I just want to come and challenge you, this Fang Yunshan who hasn't been seen in a hundred years. If you can beat me, then I, Li Feng, will never bother you again from now on. But if I win... hehe, then you'll become my dual cultivation partner! Who knows if you're willing or not? Haha..."

  Zhang Heng couldn't help but admire Li Feng in his heart. This guy was indeed crazy. If he provoked Luo Xianzi, he would become the public enemy of the three male cultivators of Fangyun Peak. Even if Li Feng's strength was strong enough, he wouldn't be able to withstand the challenge of so many people. Moreover, there were also cultivators on Fangyun Mountain who had similar strength to Li Feng and were not to be underestimated.

  According to Zhang Heng, among the third-generation disciples of Fang Yunshan, there were several cultivators who had reached the Great Perfection stage of Qi Refining. However, these cultivators generally remained in a state of closed-door meditation, hoping to enter the Foundation Establishment stage that countless cultivators yearned for. Otherwise, how could Li Feng's cultivation after reaching the late stage of Qi Refining have become so rampant on Mount Fangyun?

  "With you, a late-stage Qi Refiner, challenging me, a mere five-year disciple, do you think this is still something to be proud of?" Luo Congxue's beautiful eyes held a faint smile, as if mocking Li Feng's bullying of the weak.

  Luo Ningxue had been in the Xianyun Sect for less than five years, and her cultivation had already reached the middle stage of Qi Refining. She was not far from reaching the late stage of Qi Refining either. Such an achievement broke the record set by Fang Yunshan several hundred years ago. A senior elder of the Xianyun Sect had once prophesied that this girl's talent was extraordinary, and it was very likely that she would enter the Golden Dan Great Path.

  Compared to He Lian's progress, Li Feng, who was also a proud son of heaven, was far inferior. He had been practicing for 15 years and had only reached the late stage of Qi Refining. Of course, compared to ordinary disciples, this was already unimaginable.

  As for Zhang Heng, his progress was even more unworthy of mention. With the help of several spiritual medicines from the Wind Xing Sect's ancestor, he spent over a decade to barely enter the early stage of Qi Refining, still far from the middle stage of Qi Refining. At this rate, it would take him another ten years to reach the middle stage of Qi Refining.

  Zhang Heng is an ordinary spiritual root, Li Feng is undoubtedly a gifted spiritual root, as for Luo Ningxue, at least a gifted spiritual root, or even a being beyond the gifted spiritual root.

  Li Feng thought about this woman's progress, and his heart was also shocked. Perhaps in four or five years, this woman's cultivation would completely surpass his own, which made a subtle jealousy arise in his heart.

  "That's good, as long as you can hold on to my hand for ten moves, it counts as your win." A flash of murderous intent passed through Li Feng's eyes, and regardless of whether Luo Xianzi agreed or not, he cast a Wind Control Technique on himself, then raised the mid-grade spiritual artifact Dragon Pattern Sword in his hand and sent it flying towards Luo Xianzi in the distance.

  Zhang Heng saw this and knew that Li was going to get serious, because cultivators in the Qi Refining stage found it difficult to withstand attacks from spiritual artifacts. If one side didn't have a spiritual artifact, they would likely be instantly killed by the other side.

  As for second-order spells, they have little effect under the attack of spiritual instruments.

  Luoxianzi's face turned solemn, and she hastily deployed the Wind Suspension Technique to float in mid-air. She also took out a mid-grade spiritual artifact, the Floating Cloud Ribbon, from her hand. As her hand seals changed, the Floating Cloud Ribbon revolved around her body, forming a larger protective circle.

  Wind Control Technique is a commonly used technique that falls between the Second and Third Orders. Cultivators in the Qi Refining stage can barely use it, which is why Zhang Heng and others usually fly by controlling their flying swords with Object Manipulation Technique instead of using Wind Control Technique.

  Li Feng wielded the dragon-patterned sword with incredible might, and its speed was also extremely swift. In an instant, a shadowy figure flashed in the air, and the dragon-patterned sword had already chopped to Luo Xianzi's face.

  Luoxianzi's floating cloud belt formed a dense protective net in front of her, and Lǐ Fēng's dragon-patterned knife changed angles several times but couldn't find an opening.

  Luoxiangzi knew that once the Dragon Patterned Sword broke through the protective circle of the Floating Clouds Belt, with her ordinary cultivator's body, she would be absolutely unable to withstand a single blow from the Dragon Patterned Sword.

  Li Feng saw that he couldn't find any weakness in the defensive circle of Piaoyun Belt, so he directly used Longwen Knife to slash at Piaoyun Belt.

  In the air, the two mid-grade spiritual artifacts continuously collided, producing a series of explosive sounds in the void, causing Zhang Heng's ears to ache from not far away. Moreover, sparks could be seen flashing at the point where the two artifacts intersected.

  "Hahaha..." Suddenly, Li Feng's attack became even more swift and fierce, like a stormy rain, quickly chopping and thrusting at Luoxianzi's floating cloud belt, forcing her to retreat repeatedly.

  As time went on, Li Feng's attacks became more and more fierce, while Luoxianzi retreated again and again, the outcome was already decided in an instant.

  At this time, the ten rounds that Li Feng had said had already passed, but he didn't give Luoxianzi any chance to breathe. Relying on the deep advantage of his late-stage Qi-refining skills, he was determined to kill Luoxianzi here.

  The Cloud Ribbon used by Luo Ningxue was originally a control-type spirit artifact, but Li Feng's combat experience was unparalleled and his skills surpassed Luo Ningxue, so he could take the initiative.

  Besides, a cultivator who has just entered the gate for five years and a cultivator who has been cultivating for fifteen years are obviously different. Luoxianzi can hold on to now is already very good, if it were Zhangheng, he would probably die in a few moves.

  "Pah pah" Li Feng laughed maniacally, the Dragon Patterned Knife suddenly rose high and then heavily fell, fiercely chopping onto the Floating Cloud Ribbon, almost causing Luo Xue to fall to the ground. A touch of crimson rose on Luo Xianzi's pale face, it seemed she had already suffered some internal injuries.

  Li Feng couldn't help but feel excited, and the Dragon Patterned Sword rose into the air once more, ready to add more strength to behead Luo Xianzi.

  Just then, a flying sword suddenly flew in from afar and shot towards Li Feng like lightning.

  Li Feng's expression changed greatly, he quickly withdrew his Dragon Patterned Sword and held it in front of his chest. If he hadn't withdrawn the sword, he would have lost his life under the opponent's attack as well.

  With a gloomy gaze, he looked far away and saw a handsome man in white clothes with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes had already flown to Luoxianzi's face with the wind, looking at this side with a few smiles.
