Chapter 694: Chapter 704: Divine Dragon Wood
The middle-aged man, after executing his life-or-death strike, completely broke his cervical vertebrae, and his head hung limply before his chest.
"I’m not willing... to accept this!"
Bang!
The body of the middle-aged man fell to the ground, and the divine weapon in his hand also clanged as it dropped to the earth.
An unrivaled powerhouse at the Nine-star Sword God Level actually got slain by a mere Sword Saint. Even if he were to go to the underworld, he wouldn’t understand how.
"Huff!"
Chu Feng also let out a deep breath; successfully ambushing and killing a Nine-star Sword God was an unprecedented feat.
For him, it was not just a challenge, but also a breakthrough.
Courage and the experience of success are the most precious treasures in life.
Those who have succeeded once are more likely to achieve it a second and third time.
Just like learning to swim or ride a bicycle, it’s the success of the first experience that overcomes the fear and worry in our hearts. Then we slowly move towards success.
The dark-moled elder, who was battling with You Hu, upon seeing Chu Feng slay the middle-aged man, his cold gaze fixed onto himself.
He was instantly scared out of his wits.
Without a word, he feigned a move and turned to flee.
He didn’t even have time to leave behind any face-saving words. Clearly, life was more important than face.
"He’s running away just like that?"
You Hu, fully focused on his battle with the dark-moled elder, did sense Chu Feng coming to help and drawing the middle-aged man’s attack. But in You Hu’s eyes, Chu Feng, who had only Sword Saint cultivation, managing to hold the middle-aged man back for a moment, was already very commendable.
The sudden escape of the dark-moled elder caught You Hu by surprise.
He instinctively turned to check the situation behind him.
Ready to help Chu Feng defeat that middle-aged man.
But without the sound of fighting behind him, he grew even more puzzled. But upon looking, You Hu could not help but let out an exaggerated cry of shock.
"This, this... he’s dead!"
He simply couldn’t believe his eyes. He was well aware of the strength of this middle-aged man.
Even if You Hu himself took action, his confidence lay only in defeating him, not in killing him.
Who would have thought, Chu Feng actually did it.
The middle-aged man’s neck was nearly severed, now a lifeless body.
At this moment, You Hu finally understood why the dark-moled elder was scared to death and fled in panic.
It turned out, the dark-moled elder was not afraid of You Hu, but of Chu Feng.
"Chu Feng... Junior Brother, thank you for saving my life!" You Hu was extremely close to danger just now, and if not for Chu Feng’s timely intervention, his death was almost certain.
Being an open and honest man, he immediately clasped his hands towards Chu Feng to bow deeply, grateful that Chu Feng had saved his life.
"You and I are from the same sect, saving you is but Chu’s responsibility, Brother You Hu, no need for formalities!" Chu Feng, after killing a Nine-star Sword God, appeared very modest. His expression was calm, with no indication that he felt it was a great achievement.
This demeanor made You Hu feel even more embarrassed.
Thinking back to how he mocked and belittled Chu Feng all along the way.
And now at this moment realizing, Chu Feng’s ability was even greater than his, a Nine-star Sword God.
This Junior Brother Chu, truly isn’t ordinary. Now at the Sword Saint Realm, he’s already so abnormal. When he advances to the Nine-star Sword God Realm in the future, who knows to what devilish extent he will reach?
"Brother You Hu, if you can manage your injuries, please hurry and assist the other masters in our sect to fight against the formidable enemies."
Chu Feng’s gaze swept over; while having cut down an enemy of the Nine-star Sword God Level had relieved much of the pressure, the situation was still not optimistic.
"I’m off to help over there, Junior Brother Chu, be careful!" With those words, You Hu swallowed a healing elixir and grabbed a spirit stone to quickly restore his depleted Sword Essence.
He charged towards the mighty enemy like a dark tornado.
At this moment, Chu Feng finally had time to check on Yan Qing’s condition.
Earlier, as the middle-aged man struck back with his dying breath, Yan Qing resisted desperately. This was enough to prove his loyalty to Chu Feng. He was a trustworthy man.
"Yan Qing, are you alright?" Chu Feng lifted the Turtle Shield magical treasure.
Yan Qing lay on the ground in constant convulsions, continuously spitting blood from his mouth. Chu Feng had not expected Yan Qing to be so seriously injured.
He clenched a broken top-grade divine weapon in his hand.
During the fierce clash with the middle-aged man, his weapon was utterly destroyed.
But after thinking about it, it made sense. The middle-aged man’s counterattack in death throes was terrifying to the extreme. Given that Yan Qing only had Three-star Sword God Cultivation, it was a miracle that he still had his life.
Chu Feng immediately examined Yan Qing’s injuries.
Fortunately, the situation was not as dire as imagined.
He had only sustained internal organ damage and was suffering from the backlash of his own Sword Qi.
"Yan Qing, open your mouth and take these two healing elixirs. They will help you quickly stabilize your Sword Essence and recover from your injuries." Chu Feng, being the Alchemy Venerate, was not adept at many things.
But saving lives and healing wounds was absolutely at the master level.
After Yan Qing opened his mouth and took the two healing elixirs gifted by Chu Feng, his condition quickly stabilized.
Seeing that Yan Qing was no longer in grave danger, Chu Feng did not disturb him further and instead started to collect the spoils of battle.
This middle-aged man was a Nine-star Sword God, and he was sure to have many valuable items on him.
Not to mention anything else, just that magical treasure-level Treasure Clothes alone was immensely precious.
Chu Feng thoroughly plundered the spoils, taking anything of value without hesitation.
Indeed, the loot was very pleasing.
The Treasure Clothes was a low-grade magical treasure-level item. After Chu Feng removed it, it automatically shrank to the size of an inch.
Aside from the Treasure Clothes, there were many spirit stones and elixirs acquired.
Furthermore, there was a top-grade divine weapon.
No wonder Yan Qing’s top-grade divine weapon was severed. The disparity in cultivation was too great, and the divine weapon was also an entire grade lower; it would have been shocking if it hadn’t broken.
The value of a top-grade divine weapon was extremely high.
Because almost every top-grade divine weapon had a very high chance of advancing to a Heavenly Divine Weapon.
One should know that a Heavenly Divine Weapon was even more precious than Treasure Clothes.
This middle-aged man, being a Nine-star Sword God, must have had a considerable status within the Dragon Slayer Sect.
Yet he had only Treasure Clothes and no Heavenly Divine Weapon, which shows how rare Heavenly Divine Weapons are.
"What is this? Could it be the mythical Divine Dragon Wood?" Chu Feng looked over a piece of black wood in his hands with keen interest. It was as thick as an arm and about a foot long.
It was quite a sizable object to carry around.
On its surface, there appeared dark gold natural patterns. Various dragons, bizarre and lifelike, were etched on it.
With Chu Feng’s rich experience, extensive knowledge, and sharp eye, he could confirm. This was a priceless piece of Divine Dragon Wood, which had many uses.
It could even be used to refine some advanced level elixirs.
In his previous life, when Chu Feng refined the Immortal Pill, he used some of this wood.
However, at that time he only obtained a very small piece, nowhere near as large as this one.
"With this, my Demon Slaying Sword can finally be completely restored." Chu Feng was full of anticipation.
