Chapter 29 The Pain of Bone and Muscle Pulling

Fearing something might go wrong, Chen Bao led his cavalry to escort Liu Chengfeng to Tiger Hill.

"Brother, take it."

On the way, Su Youqian stuffed a weapon into Liu Chengfeng's hand.

Liu Chengfeng took a look and saw that it was a sword pellet, flowing in his palm like mercury, emitting a cold aura.

Its extraordinary quality is evident from the moment you hold it.

"This is?"

"The Nine Water Sword Pellet was once the weapon of our ancestors. When combined with the flying sword technique, its power was unparalleled. However, no one in later generations has been able to comprehend this technique, and it has remained idle ever since."

"This sword can penetrate directly into the body; it's fine for you to swallow it, brother."

The Nine-Water Sword Pill is a top-grade weapon from the Treasure Mountain Divine Treasury, forged from extremely rare Nine-Water Silver Copper.

The treasures of Baoshan are top-grade weapons, generally worth around 200,000 spirit stones.

The Nine Water Sword Pill is extremely unique and worth nearly a million.

The price of true blood far exceeds that of weapons.

The Su family of Da Meng is quite generous, gifting top-quality weapons right off the bat.

Liu Chengfeng swallowed the Nine Water Sword Pill into his mouth. The sword pill entered his mouth like water and was directly absorbed into his body without any strange sensation.

This was exactly the weapon he wanted. After mastering the flying sword technique, Liu Chengfeng thought that if he had a suitable weapon, its power would double.

"I have gained some understanding of flying sword techniques and have already integrated them into an innate skill. I will make a copy for the Su family afterward."

The Su family was generous to him, and Liu Chengfeng was equally generous.

"Are you kidding me? How long has it been? Less than half a day."

Su Youqian couldn't believe it, but Liu Chengfeng's expression was calm and firm; he wasn't joking.

"Are you even human? I've been trying to understand this for years and haven't gained anything. In half a day, you not only understood it, but you also integrated it into your innate state."

Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Su Youqian jumped up.

Even Chen Bao took notice. The Su family's flying sword technique had been unfathomable for ten thousand years, yet Liu Chengfeng comprehended it in half a day and even fused it into the Xianjuan Xiantian.

"Brother, this is a really big favor."

The innate cultivation method of the Sage Scroll in the Treasure Mountain is so precious that it is priceless.

"A genius that comes along only once in ten thousand years."

Chen Bao was amazed and acknowledged the genius.

The Fourth Elder had always said that Liu Chengfeng was a genius that only appeared once in ten thousand years, and he had always been skeptical, but now he believed it.

The Fourth Elder straightened his chest, his face beaming with pride.

"Focus on the task at hand; leave the rest to me. This is of utmost importance, so you must succeed." Upon arriving at Tiger Hill, Chen Bao solemnly told Liu Chengfeng before leading his troops away.

"Brother, the old lady is waiting at the Spirit Vein Dojo."

"Time is running out, so I will not enter the Daoist temple. Please, Old Madam, do not suppress the spiritual veins. I will take charge of the spiritual vein Daoist temple."

The situation was critical, and Liu Chengfeng was in a hurry to see She Tian.

Su Youqian responded and hurried away.

"Lord, the beasts are attacking again. I'm afraid the brothers won't be able to hold out for long."

Outside the city, the beasts launched another attack, this time outnumbering the previous two by more than double.

At this moment, the sounds of battle and screams continued outside the city as the defenders of Da Meng City once again fought a life-or-death struggle with the strange beasts.

The soil outside the city was stained red with blood, dried, and then stained red again; the land was all blackish-red, and corpses were piled up like mountains.

"How long can you hold out?" "At most an hour."

"Where are the Three Guards of the Grandmaster's Mansion?" "They said they went to hunt down the leader of the strange beasts."

"Damn it—" Chen Bao cursed, his face grave. The Grandmaster's Mansion had no good intentions.

If the Su family of Da Meng were to perish and Lady Chen were to die, the three great powers of Qiu Chi Kingdom would be reduced to the Grand Marshal and the Emperor.

By that time, the Grandmaster's Mansion would be on par with the Imperial Family.

If you can't win them over, the best thing to do is to destroy them. Even a rough man like Chen Bao understands this principle.

"Let the people in the city evacuate first, retreat to Tiger Hill. If the brothers can't hold out, then retreat. Don't hold out to the death."

"kill--"

Chen Bao took the lead and charged out of the city.

Liu Chengfeng found the Sky-Shooting Demon Tree again in the Imperial Garden.

"Hey, kid, what are you doing here?"

"I will subdue you."

"Hahaha……"

The Sky-Shooting Demon Tree burst into laughter; it was the funniest joke he had ever heard in his life.

"Youngster, do you know who I am? Even if I am reduced to only my toes today, I can still stand proudly in this world..."

"If one could stand out from the crowd, one would not covet a small spiritual vein, but would have already seized the great spiritual vein of the divine dynasty."

"You ignorant fool, speaking disrespectfully..."

The Sky-Shooting Demon Tree was enraged and was killed by the Black Emperor, which was one thing, but he also accepted being suppressed in Yunmengze.

Today, even a mere human ant dares to speak arrogantly in front of him.

"If you obey my commands, I will help you reshape your body."

Liu Chengfeng interrupted the Heavenly Demon Tree.

"You ignorant ant, how dare you order me around!"

The Sky-Shooting Demon Tree was furious; when had it ever been so looked down upon?

The Sky-Shooting Demon Tree, disregarding its own presence, unleashed a surge of demonic energy, enveloping Liu Chengfeng.

In an instant, long, whisker-like demonic vines sprouted and wrapped around Liu Chengfeng's body.

What's terrifying is that the demonic vines that were wrapped around her body grew roots that pierced her body and grew wildly.

All the roots burrowed into Liu Chengfeng's body, trying to completely control him and drain his flesh and blood.

Before this, the Sky-Shooting Demon Tree looked down on Liu Chengfeng's flesh and blood.

He's nothing but an ant, a mere speck of flesh and blood, a mosquito's leg. Now, in his rage, he'll suck Liu Chengfeng dry. The Heavenly Demon Tree has entered his body; even celestial bodies wouldn't deign to lift a finger.

Liu Chengfeng shouted loudly, unfurled the World Tree, and instantly took root in the spiritual vein dojo underground.

The Spirit Vein Dojo was forged and refined by the ancestors of the Su family through their spiritual techniques. Those who are not members of the Su family or who have not cultivated the Su family's spiritual techniques cannot absorb the spiritual energy of the dojo.

When Liu Chengfeng invaded the spiritual vein dojo, alarms sounded throughout Tiger Hill, and the protective array of the entire Su family dojo was activated.

The domineering nature of the World Tree was fully revealed at this moment.

No matter what kind of protective array the Su family's dojo has, no matter how powerful the technique for sealing the spiritual veins is, no matter how many layers of defense the Su family's ancestors added.

Even the World Tree was of no use; it forcibly absorbed the spiritual energy of the dojo, gulping it down like a whale.

What kind of tactic is this?

The old matriarch, Lady Chen, who guarded the spiritual vein temple, was also shocked, but she did not stop Liu Chengfeng from devouring the spiritual energy.

Within the Blood Sea Divine Treasury, the World Tree absorbed a massive amount of spiritual energy, causing the Blood Sea to churn and its blood energy to become as robust as a mountain range.

"What the hell is this thing—"

The invading Sky-Shooting Demon Tree was suddenly startled. Before it could react, the World Tree instantly enveloped it.

The Sky-Shooting Demon Tree cried out in alarm and tried to turn around and escape, withdrawing from Liu Chengfeng's body.

But it was too late. The World Tree, having absorbed a large amount of spiritual energy, surged wildly, as if the entire world was pressing down on the Sky-Shooting Demon Tree.

At the same time, the golden lotus root in the sea of ​​blood also absorbed a large amount of blood energy.

With the entire spiritual vein of the Su family supporting him, even if the golden lotus root desperately absorbs blood energy, it will not have much impact on Liu Chengfeng.

The golden lotus root, having absorbed enough blood essence, grew a long golden tendril that pierced the body of the Sky-Shooting Demon Tree.

"Damn it—" the Sky-Shooting Demon Tree screamed and cursed, trying to escape but unable to move.

The golden lotus root threads sprouted countless roots, which then penetrated all the roots of the Sky-Shooting Demon Tree.

The pain of being pierced all over its body was unbearable, even for a being like the Sky-Shooting Demon Tree, causing it to scream in agony again and again.

He had never experienced such pain, not even when he was killed.

"Your mother——"

The Demon Tree of Shooting Heaven, in its agony, disregarded its status and launched into a tirade against Liu Chengfeng.

"Get up!"

Ignoring the Sky-Shooting Demon Tree, Liu Chengfeng absorbed a massive amount of spiritual energy amidst the roaring sounds.

The golden lotus root, brimming with boundless power, pulled the Sky-Shooting Demon Tree inch by inch from the ground.

The Sky-Shooting Demon Tree has countless roots growing underground, enveloping the entire spiritual vein dojo.

Now Liu Chengfeng is pulling it out of the ground inch by inch. What's the difference between that and skinning it and pulling out its tendons?
This pain was even worse than the pain of having his whole body pierced just now.

"Boy, I'm going to kill you—"

The Sky-Shooting Demon Tree roared in anger, causing him to scream in agony.

"You won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences. This is what you'll get."

Liu Chengfeng was indifferent, swallowing spiritual energy like a whale, uprooting the Sky-Shooting Demon Tree inch by inch, causing him unbearable pain.

At the same time, Liu Chengfeng activated the "Golden Dragon Heart Method" to forge the treasure mountain's divine treasures.

The treasure mountain was being tempered and refined by a massive amount of spiritual energy, and the booming sound was incessant.

Through repeated forging, the body became like the base of a mountain, bearing the appearance of dragon scales, like dragon scale armor, with the muscles and bones of the whole body resonating.

After the spiritual energy filled every inch of muscle, it began to rush towards the internal organs.

It must be said that the Su family has a profound foundation and the abundance of spiritual liquid in their Daoist temple is far beyond what the Qiyun Sect can compare to.

Thanks to the abundant spiritual liquid, Liu Chengfeng advanced to the second level of Treasure Mountain.

In a short time, it filled every muscle in his body and cleansed every bone, transforming Liu Chengfeng so that his whole body was crystal clear and radiant with precious light.

He cultivated the second stage of the Treasure Mountain Divine Treasury to perfection.

Then a massive amount of spiritual energy rushed into his internal organs, marking the third stage of his breakthrough to the treasure mountain.

The Human Scroll Innate Heart Method, combined with a massive amount of spiritual energy, allowed Liu Chengfeng to break through two stages overnight.

Such a cultivation speed is simply divine; no genius, however brilliant, could achieve it.

Lady Chen, who was guarding the spiritual vein dojo, felt a pang of heartache as she watched the spiritual liquid in the pool plummet.

So much spiritual liquid, accumulated by the Su family over countless years, is now being wildly absorbed by Liu Chengfeng.

Seeing the roots of the demonic tree being pulled up inch by inch, Lady Chen resigned herself to it and allowed Liu Chengfeng to absorb the spiritual energy.

She was powerless against the demonic tree. If this continued, the demonic tree would take over the entire spiritual vein, the entire Tiger Hill, and even the Great Meng City.

At that time, the Da Meng Su family will surely perish.

As Liu Chengfeng frantically absorbed spiritual energy and uprooted the Sky-Shooting Demon Tree, strange beasts breached the Great Meng City.

Led by the wild boar king and the snake king, both with lifespans of eight thousand years, strange beasts surged into the city of Da Meng like a tidal wave.

Although the beast tide invading Da Meng City was not comparable to the beast tide during the Xiao Meng Mountain invasion, Da Meng City still could not withstand it.

Chaos reigned in the city of Da Meng, and blood stained the long streets. Those who could not escape or evacuate in time perished in the jaws of the strange beasts.

Chen Bao led the iron cavalry of Dameng City in a retreat, fighting their way back towards Tiger Hill.

Chen Bao had fought to the point of madness, covered in blood. Even with the protection of the Hunshan Dingjia, he was still covered in wounds.

Chen Bao fought desperately, retreating while fighting to buy time for the city's residents to evacuate.

As for the three guards of the Grandmaster's Mansion, they appeared to be chasing after strange beasts on the edge of the city, but they only killed a small number of beasts and let the beast tide rush towards Tiger Hill.

The Grandmaster's Mansion and Chen Bao had a falling out, but even if they hadn't, the Grandmaster's Mansion would have been happy to see the Su family of Da Meng trampled to pieces by the strange beasts.

At that point, they will simply be unable to provide immediate assistance, and will only need to clean up the mess.

"Kill—" Chen Bao roared as if he had been pulled out of a pool of blood. He fought against the Wild Boar King and the Snake King all by himself, but was forced to retreat step by step by the two treasure beast kings.

With Chen Bao's strength, killing a three- to five-thousand-year-old treasure beast would not be difficult, and he could even fight against an eight-thousand-year-old treasure beast.

He couldn't withstand the two eight-thousand-year-old treasure beasts and was overwhelmed.

The soldiers of Da Meng City suffered heavy casualties and were unable to share the burden with Chen Bao.

"Brother Chen, I'll lend you a hand."

In the nick of time, the bowstring snapped and the arrow flew; with a long whistle, Nangong Ren shot an arrow to come to the rescue.
