Chapter

anlong Sword Technique”. It is most suitable for dealing with a large number of enemies. Especially when he uses it at his current level, it is extremely fierce. Any master below the Heavenly Realm would find it difficult to resist.

　　However, the enemy he was facing was not an ordinary one, but a Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Demon who had cultivated the “Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Demon Art”. Jiang Yuangong and Long Zhanye directly shattered the incoming sword energy with their fist winds. The Corpse Demon stood still and did not move. The two black-clad men behind him flashed and appeared directly in front of him. They shattered the sword energy with a wave of their hands, and could not hurt the Corpse Demon at all.

　　Xia Yushu and the others each had their own unique skills.

　　As Xia Yushu raised his hand, a black vortex appeared in his palm, directly swallowing the incoming sword energy into it.

　　Yao Ye flicked his finger, and a chill spread from his fingertip, enveloping the sword energy and freezing it rapidly. With a forceful shake, the sword energy transformed into ice crystals and exploded.

　　Wei Dongxiang opened his palm, on which dark golden flames burned. He grabbed a dragon-shaped sword aura into his hand and quickly burned it away.

　　A sword aura struck Wang Hongyu, and a muffled “thud” was heard, like metal striking a bronze bell. The sword aura exploded, but Wang Hongyu was completely unharmed.

　　Ye Jingyun held the Golden Crow Blade horizontally in front of him. The sword energy struck the blade, producing a crisp “ding” sound before dissipating.

　　Bai Bufan raised his hand and caught a wisp of sword energy. The sword energy grazed his palm, leaving a bloody mark, but he didn’t care at all. The cut healed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, leaving it completely intact without a drop of blood flowing out.

　　As Yuan Fuyao watched a sword aura hurtle toward him, he smirked and made no move, but a green tentacle flew out from his body, like a vine, and wrapped the sword aura into it, shredding it instantly.

　　In an instant, everyone displayed their unique abilities to neutralize Qi Fei’s ultimate move.

　　Qi Fei was secretly alarmed. He knew he couldn’t defeat so many people. Since he had already achieved his goal, he didn’t linger. With a leap, he flew away.

　　”Still trying to run?” Long Zhanye flew through the air, leaving a trail of afterimages. His body was crackling with lightning, making him look like a god.

　　Behind him was Jiang Yuangong, whose aura was even stronger than Long Zhanye’s.

　　Now that he possesses the power of a Celestial Realm expert, he can traverse the air and easily shake off innate masters like Xia Yushu. However, when facing Celestial Realm experts of the same level as him, such as Jiang Yuangong and Long Zhanye, he can only fight and retreat.

　　Both of them were peerless experts. Qi Fei fought against the two powerful figures alone. With his left hand, he drew circles and created spiral Tai Chi symbols with red and blue Yin-Yang fish entwined around them, which were extremely powerful. With his right hand, he held the Panlong Sword, from which dragon-shaped sword energies shot out, sharp and piercing through everything.

　　Jiang Yuangong and Long Zhanye were equally formidable. Jiang Yuangong relentlessly pressed forward, and facing Qi Fei’s spiral Tai Chi, he unleashed his extraordinary ability of having three heads and six arms. His six arms unleashed a barrage of fist shadows, constantly deflecting Qi Fei’s ultimate moves and even managing to launch counterattacks with ease. Meanwhile, Long Zhanye used the ultimate technique of “Heavenly Gang Five Thunder Blast,” sending his fists forward with a barrage of fist shadows, carrying the power of violent lightning, shattering all of Qi Fei’s sword energy.

　　The three of them weaved back and forth in mid-air, fighting fiercely and evenly matched. Their powerful energy burst outwards continuously, and even strong people like Xia Yushu dared not get too close.

　　Watching Qi Fei display his prowess in mid-air, Xia Yushu said with a hint of jealousy, “I never imagined this guy’s martial arts would improve so quickly!”

　　Bai Bufan sneered, “Aren’t you still going to die at our hands?”

　　Faced with the pressure from the two powerful figures, Jiang Yuangong and Long Zhanye, Qi Fei felt increasingly powerless. Their internal strength was simply too great. The martial arts of “Du Tian Shen Sha” were indeed extraordinary, completely on par with “Wu Zi Tian Shu”. Fortunately, the internal strength of “Wu Zi Tian Shu” could relieve half of the pressure, otherwise he would have been defeated long ago.

　　In the blink of an eye, the two had exchanged over a hundred blows. At this moment, Qi Fei no longer concealed his strength and directly unleashed his full inner power. Immediately, a humanoid phantom, sixteen feet tall, appeared behind him, looking exactly like him. As soon as this humanoid phantom appeared, the surrounding pressure immediately dissipated. He shouted and instead of retreating, advanced, attacking Long Zhanye.

　　Upon seeing this, Long Zhanye also roared angrily, and a humanoid phantom appeared behind him. The phantom was also wrapped in lightning, as if the Thunder God had descended to earth and possessed him.

　　Jiang Yuangong did the same, directly unleashing the Dharma Body of “Dutian Shensha”. The enormous Dharma Body with three heads and six arms descended like a demon god, carrying unimaginable power, and crushed directly towards Qi Fei.

　　The Dharma Body is a unique ability of the three ancient books. It is impossible for other martial arts to cultivate it. The three ancient books seize the creation of heaven and earth, and the upper limit of internal energy that can be cultivated far exceeds that of ordinary martial arts. Furthermore, the Dharma Body cultivated can be used to store internal energy.

　　The human body is finite, and the amount of internal energy it can hold is also very limited. For example, the body of a Heavenly Realm expert can only hold a maximum of ninety years of internal energy. However, if one cultivates a Dharma Body, the Dharma Body can also hold ninety years of internal energy. The two combined amount to one hundred and eighty years of internal energy. In addition, the Dharma Body can continuously absorb the energy of heaven and earth to replenish its own consumption, and this is no exception when fighting enemies. This is the true power of the Dharma Body.

　　Although Qi Fei’s internal strength is not as great as Jiang Yuangong’s, he has also cultivated a Dharma body, which allows him to fight continuously and he is not at a disadvantage for the time being.

　　Seeing that the two had not yet captured Qi Fei, the Corpse Demon standing in the courtyard waved the black fortune-telling banner in his hand. With a “whoosh,” a black-clad man behind him immediately leaped up, leaving a series of afterimages, and quickly pounced towards Qi Fei!

　　”Huh? How is that possible?” Qi Fei was greatly surprised when he saw this.

　　He thought that only Jiang Yuangong, Long Zhanye and the mysterious Corpse Demon were Heavenly Realm experts, but now the black-clad man commanded by the Corpse Demon could also fly through the air and had Heavenly Realm strength, which was very terrifying!

　　More importantly, there were not just one or two men in black behind the Corpse Demon, but dozens!

　　”Could these all be Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Demon Gods?” Qi Fei was so frightened that his face turned pale. He no longer wanted to fight and directly used his strongest strength.

　　His figure suddenly split in two, and the two figures attacked at the same time. One figure forced Long Zhanye back with a sword, while the other figure kicked Jiang Yuangong’s fist and used the force to fly back.

　　The man in black rushed towards Qi Fei’s direction. Qi Fei’s figure split into four again. One of his figures struck out with a palm at the other, and the other also threw a punch at him. The two men’s fists and palms collided, producing a loud bang, and waves of heat rushed towards them.

　　Qi Fei felt a numbness in his palm and used the force to retreat backward, while the man in black also fell downward due to the force.

　　”Such powerful strength!” Qi Fei was shocked. This man in black’s strength was indeed at the Heavenly Rank level, which was truly terrifying.

　　”Here comes the knife!”

　　At that moment, Jiang Yuangong made a grabbing motion downwards with one hand, and Ye Jingyun in the courtyard suddenly felt the Golden Crow Blade in his hand slip out of his grasp and fall into Jiang Yuangong’s hand.

　　Jiang Yuangong let out a low shout, and with an unknown force, a powerful surge of true energy poured into the Golden Crow Blade. Instantly, the Golden Crow Blade burst forth with a hundred-foot-long red light, rapidly transforming into a gigantic three-legged golden crow, its body engulfed in raging flames, and lunged straight at Qi Fei!

　　”Baby, go!” Qi Fei was not to be outdone. The four figures quickly merged into one, and he grabbed the Panlong Sword in one hand. As his inner force passed through, the Panlong Sword shone with golden light. He threw the Panlong Sword in his hand, and the sword shone brightly. A dragon’s roar rang out, and the sword quickly transformed into a huge golden dragon with overwhelming momentum. It was no less powerful than the three-legged golden crow. It shook its head and wagged its tail as it rushed towards the golden crow!

　　The two illusory beasts collided in mid-air, unleashing powerful shockwaves. Red and gold lights shone brightly, illuminating half the sky. Accompanied by bird calls and dragon roars, the sound spread throughout almost the entire city of Beijing. Some of the city’s residents went out to investigate the strange event, while others stayed at home praying incessantly.

　　Xia Yushu and the others were all amazed. They witnessed the true power of the divine weapon. They never imagined that this power came from a strange beast. No wonder it could be called a divine weapon and possess indestructible power.

　　Soon, the two illusory beasts, unable to gain the upper hand, exhausted their power and transformed back into a sword and a blade, flying back into the hands of Jiang Yuangong and Qi Fei respectively.

　　”I’ll let you off the hook for now, but I’ll settle the score with you another day!” Qi Fei laughed loudly, then soared into the sky and quickly disappeared into the night.

　　”Hmph, coward!” Xia Yushu mocked as she watched Qi Fei’s departing figure.

　　”Forget it, let’s not chase them. This is their territory, which is too unfamiliar to us. It would be difficult to catch up, and it would just be a waste of time.”

　　Seeing that Long Zhanye wanted to give chase, Jiang Yuangong stopped him. He threw out the Golden Crow Blade and then landed on the ground.

　　Ye Jingyun stared at the Golden Crow Blade in his hand. The blade was still scorching hot, gleaming with a fiery red light, as if it had been burned by a raging fire. He stood there, speechless for a long time.

　　…

　　”Amazing, amazing! Absolutely fucking amazing!”

　　Qi Fei staggered back into the house, cursing under his breath.

　　How are you?

　　”Are you alright, Master Qi?”

　　The sisters, Fu Guang Lue Ying, quickly stepped forward to support him. Seeing that his legs were a little weak, they helped him hold his sword, took off his clothes, and checked him for any wounds.

　　In the battle just now, Qi Fei only exhausted his internal energy and was not seriously injured. His naked body was fair and smooth, and it seemed that he had been well nourished by the breast milk.

　　The twin sisters helped Qi Fei into the room. Fang Huaxian came over, checked on him, and seeing that he was alright, asked, “I saw your fight just now. How strong was your opponent?”

　　”Incredibly powerful!” Qi Fei said, panting as he lay on the bed. “The opponent has more than three Heavenly Realm experts. Besides Jiang Yuangong, Long Zhanye, and the Corpse Demon, the Corpse Demon is accompanied by many men in black, at least three of whom are Heavenly Realm experts. I think the other twenty-odd are at least Innate Realm experts. This lineup is too strong. I don’t think all the experts in our Kun Kingdom combined could defeat them!”

　　Upon hearing this, Fang Huaxian’s eyes narrowed. He knew that Qi Fei was always confident in his combat skills and would never flatter his enemies. Since he said this, it was most likely true.

　　With such a terrifying lineup, why didn’t they just head straight for the capital of Kun Kingdom instead of going to Phoenix Nest? Could it be that they didn’t want to cause too many casualties?

　　With a solemn expression, she said, “Could it be that the Heavenly Fiends and Earthly Demons have all been born?”

　　”That’s possible.” Qi Fei nodded; this was the only reasonable explanation.

　　Fang Huaxian gracefully undressed, revealing her fair and slender body, and lay down beside Qi Fei, gently embracing him, and said with a smile: “Alright, tonight you, Qi the Great Hero, have ventured into a den of dragons and tigers. Get some rest and recover properly.”

　　”Mmm…” With a warm and soft body beside him, and a faint fragrance wafting in his nostrils, Qi Fei felt a wave of warmth and comfort. He took Fang Huaxian’s pink nipple into his mouth and gently sucked on it.

　　Fang Huaxian held Qi Fei in her arms, stroking his head with one hand. The Fu Guang Lue Ying sisters took a wet towel and wiped the sweat off Qi Fei’s body. Then the two sisters got onto the bed and sat at the foot of the bed, each reaching out their jade-like hands to caress Qi Fei’s penis.

　　Gradually, Qi Fei felt increasingly drowsy amidst a sense of comfort and fell asleep.

　　When Qi Fei woke up, Fang Huaxian and the Fu Guang Lueying sisters were no longer in bed. Qi Fei got up, dressed, and walked out of the bedroom, where he saw the setting sun casting a golden glow.

　　”What time is it?” Qi Fei shouted.

　　Immediately, a member of the Five Immortals Sect walked in from outside and said, “Hero Qi, you’re awake. Have you rested well?”

　　Qi Fei said, “This great hero has recovered. Where is my sister Fang?”

　　The disciple said, “The sect leader has gone out and should be back soon. He instructed that Master Qi should rest well and not worry about anything else. Oh, by the way, it’s already late afternoon.”

　　”What? I slept for so long?” Qi Fei panicked as soon as he heard this. “No, no, those bastards Xia Yushu have already gone to Phoenix Nest. They must have left early this morning. My sister and the others are in danger. I have to get to Phoenix Nest!”

　　”This… Master Qi, the sect leader wants you to wait for her to return, and then go to Phoenix Nest together.”

　　”I can’t wait… Where’s my sword?”

　　”Hero Qi…”

　　Several disciples dressed in black stockings and short skirts entered the room, and one of them handed over the Panlong Sword.

　　”Prepare the horses, quickly prepare the horses…” Qi Fei strapped his sword to his back and rushed out the gate.

　　A servant led a white horse from the stable. Without saying a word, Qi Fei leaped up, landed on the horse’s back, and spurred it on. The white horse immediately galloped away.

　　A group of disciples watched Qi Fei leave, all with helpless expressions.

　　Phoenix Nest is located within the territory of the Southern Barbarian Kingdom. The journey from Beijing City to the Southern Barbarian Kingdom is long. Although Qi Fei has reached the Heavenly Realm and can travel through the air with lightness skills at extremely high speed, this also consumes a great deal of internal energy. He would probably be exhausted before even reaching the Southern Barbarian Kingdom. Therefore, riding a horse is still the best choice for transportation. Horses are always the best option for getting around.

　　After leaving Beijing City, Qi Fei headed south along the official road. Although he had never been to the Southern Barbarian Kingdom, he knew the general direction. Besides, if he didn’t know the way, he could ask someone for directions along the way.

　　”Luckily, I brought this with me.”

　　Qi Fei rode his horse along the official road, took out a pair of black stockings from his pocket, stroked the rough texture, and sniffed them. A faint fragrance wafted over.

　　He grabbed this from the house; judging by its length, it must have been worn by Fang Huaxian. He carried it with him to relieve boredom and prevent himself from being too bored while traveling.

　　While Qi Fei was heading to Phoenix Nest, Feng Liyao also made a decision in the Kun Kingdom’s palace.

　　”I never imagined they would disregard even the palace and come out in full force.” Feng Liyao’s expression was grave as she paced back and forth in her bedchamber, still wearing her pajamas. “No, I must go there myself.”

　　Qi Tingqin and Yan Youruo exchanged a glance, both of them anxious. Yan Youruo said, “No, you’re still so weak. You have to finish your postpartum confinement period, otherwise, there will inevitably be hidden dangers!”

　　”It’s alright, I know what I’m doing.” Without waiting for a reply, Feng Liyao put on the purple-gold phoenix robe, tightened the gold belt, and covered her gourd-shaped, voluptuous figure.

　　Seeing that Qi Tingqin and Yan Youruo’s persuasion had failed, Raozhirou and Yao Youwei were also extremely anxious.

　　”In that case, let’s go together!” Qi Tingqin tugged at her sleeve, her yellow dress highlighting her stunning figure, which was no less beautiful than Feng Liyao’s.

　　Feng Liyao frowned and said, “Someone still needs to guard the palace, otherwise trouble is likely to break out.”

　　Qi Tingqin said, “Now that all the experts of the Great Xia Dynasty have come out, if we don’t go all out, the safety of this palace will be in vain.”

　　Knowing she couldn’t persuade them, Feng Liyao said, “How about this, let Gu Yinzhang, Li Huiyu, Shen Xiangxiang and Mei’er stay and take care of the children, and the rest of you come with me.”

　　No one objected, and preparations began immediately.

　　Feng Liyao, Qi Tingqin, Yan Youruo, Raozhirou, and Yao Youwei, the five masters, covered their faces with silk scarves. After riding out of the palace, they first went to Cuiwei Nunnery to call up the Snow Mountain Divine Nun, Granny Honglian, and Abbess Suyin. Then, the group met up with Ji Qiujun and Yu Youyang in Nan’an City. They waited until Fang Huaxian arrived before heading towards the Southern Barbarian Kingdom together.

　　The first to go to the Southern Barbarian Kingdom were Feng Jianqing and Wang Wanru, followed by Xia Yushu and his group, and then Qi Fei. Feng Liyao and the others were a step behind Qi Fei because they had to wait for Fang Huaxian.

　　Qi Fei rode his white horse day and night until the horse collapsed by the roadside, exhausted. Qi Fei then bought a sturdy chestnut horse in a nearby town and continued galloping south.

　　After exhausting three horses in succession, Qi Fei finally passed through the Full Moon Pass of Kun Kingdom seven days later and entered the territory of Nanman Kingdom.

　　The Southern Barbarian Kingdom is located in the southern part of the Qiankun Continent. To the north lies the powerful Kun Kingdom, and to the south is the coastline of the South China Sea. Beyond that lies the endless ocean. To the east and west are the Hundred Thousand Mountains, primeval forests, teeming with poisonous insects and ferocious beasts, and rarely visited by humans.

　　As a small border country, the Southern Barbarian Kingdom has a long history. Its land is fertile, surrounded by mountains, and borders the South China Sea. It is rich in mountain products, rice, and aquatic products such as fish and shrimp, so food is plentiful and people have no worries about food and clothing.

　　The Southern Barbarian Kingdom also has several towns, with a population of ten million. The people live a fairly good life, and although they are known for their fierce nature, there are very few rebels.

　　The ruler of the Southern Barbarian Kingdom is the Barbarian King, who is also a member of the royal family by bloodline. Each generation of Barbarian Kings has great power and unique talents, which is also the basis for the Barbarian King to govern the country.

　　The totem of the Southern Barbarian Kingdom is the phoenix. The Phoenix Nest is located in the Southern Barbarian Kingdom and is regarded as a sacred place by the Southern Barbarian Kingdom. Every year, the Barbarian King would lead his civil and military officials and the people to the Phoenix Nest to worship their holy ancestor, the phoenix.

　　”The first day of next month is the big day for worshipping the phoenix. I must take my whole family to see the phoenix’s splendor!”

　　”Yes, but this year the amount of silver each household has to pay has increased by one tael…”

　　”There’s nothing we can do. The annual trip to Phoenix Nest for the sacrificial ceremony is very expensive, so we have no choice but to pay the money.”

　　Walking down the street, Qi Fei overheard the conversation of several passersby.

　　This is a large city in the Southern Barbarian Kingdom called “Beiju City”. It looks like an important city with a large population and is very prosperous. The people here dress in a peculiar way, different from those in the Great Xia Dynasty and the Kun Kingdom. They all wear headscarves, and some men walk around the streets shirtless. You can tell at a glance that they are not to be trifled with.

　　In addition, one can see merchants from Kun Kingdom coming here to trade. It’s just simple trade, and the exchanges between the people of the two countries are quite harmonious.
