You call this the way of the sword?

The wolf pack came on strong, clearly indicating that this was not a simple encounter, but a large-scale hunt.

It is said that wolves are spiritual beings, and Yang Qingfeng was fortunate enough to witness this today.

They are like skilled hunters, blocking their prey's escape route from the start, then closing in from all sides, baring their teeth and growling incessantly, creating a terrifying sense of oppression.

In the past, Yang Qingfeng might have been genuinely afraid.

Now...

The sword spirit carried him into the air.

The wolf pack's reaction was somewhat unexpected.

Seeing their prey about to fly away, the wolf pack's authority crumbled instantly, and several wolf pups jumped up and down in a panic, howling and whimpering.

It's as if it's saying, "Don't you dare run away, you coward!"

Yang Qingfeng found it interesting, but at the same time, he noticed something unusual.

Among the wolf pack was an alpha wolf, exceptionally tall, its fur gleaming in the darkness, looking quite strange, but what was most striking were its eyes.

Just like Sha Yinzhen before, it stared intently at the wisp of mist in the sword spirit's hand, its eyes filled with longing.

Do you also want to live forever?

Yang Qingfeng had already intended to leave, but upon seeing this scene, his mind stirred slightly, and he landed on the tree.

With a flick of his finger, the flying sword behind him shot straight at the enemy.

The two sword spirits leaped out simultaneously, drawing their swords mid-air and slashing at the alpha wolf.

A great battle was about to break out. The wolf let out a howl and advanced instead of retreating, as if it could not wait for the attack. It even swung its sharp claws and unleashed a wind blade that was visible to the naked eye.

"Awoo!"

The wolf cubs howled in unison, as if cheering each other on, but their momentum was torn apart by the sword light in less than two seconds.

Yang Qingfeng stood atop a tree seven or eight meters high, looking down at the battlefield.

Driven by his will, the flying sword weaved freely through the wolf pack. Although its skill level prevented it from killing with a single blow, the sword's cold light always tore through the wolf pack, causing them to howl in agony.

Of course, the wolves didn't just stand there and take the beating. They kept pouncing on the flying sword, knocking it off course with their claws, stepping on it, and trying to shred the blade with their fangs.

If it were a mortal body, it certainly wouldn't be able to withstand their tearing and biting.

Unfortunately, Yang Qingfeng's sword was a gift from his master. Although he did not know its name, it was quite strong.

The wolves were helpless against the flying sword and couldn't reach Yang Qingfeng in the tree. Gradually, they became easy targets. By the time they dragged their broken bodies and made a move to escape, Yang Qingfeng had already mastered the technique.

"As expected of the mainstream approach."

"Even without talent, a good sword is enough to fight."

"If I can awaken the relevant talent and then level up, I'm sure I can get a good result in the big exam."

Yang Qingfeng murmured softly, calmly practicing his skills with the wolf pack. Driven by his will, his flying sword slayed wolves as easily as threading a needle, growing faster and faster until he killed the last wolf. Hanfeng then performed a sword flourish in mid-air, effortlessly and gracefully.

During this time, the alpha wolf howled in pain several times and even tried to attack Yang Qingfeng, but it was restrained by the sword spirit.

The two sword spirits also fought very cleverly. Just like when they were dealing with Sha Yinzhen, the sword spirit holding the mist was responsible for luring the enemy, while the other sword spirit attacked from the side. The two cooperated well and moved freely, making the alpha wolf unable to take care of its own front and rear, and it was in a very bad situation.

Let alone the alpha wolf, any other newly promoted cultivator would probably be begging for mercy if they encountered two sword spirits with such extraordinary swordsmanship.

"It's a pity the Heavenly Dao Network is down, otherwise I could still check your attributes."

Yang Qingfeng watched the alpha wolf with great interest, but did not rush to make a move.

There are countless monsters in the world. Whether you are playing dungeons, exploring secret realms, or leveling up in the wild, you have to deal with them. But hearing about them is never as good as seeing them with your own eyes.

The alpha wolf can wield wind blades, suffers from the destruction of its pack, and even feigns an attack on the sword spirit to ambush the wolf. Clearly, it is a sentient and intelligent beast.

Those without intelligence are called beasts.

Above it are ninth-tier demonic beasts.

Even more advanced are spirit beasts or ferocious beasts.

This was the first time Yang Qingfeng had ever seen a demonic beast. He was quite surprised for a while, and then he noticed something odd: "Logically speaking, demonic beasts shouldn't be low-level. A first-tier demonic beast should be at least level 10. How could it be unable to defeat a level 1 sword spirit?"

"Brother Wolf, although you cannot speak, you can understand human speech to some extent, right?"

"Brother Wolf, may I ask why you are so weak?"

Yang Qingfeng is usually not very talkative because most things don't interest him.

It turns out that the process of spiritual practice may be tedious and tedious, but the beginning and the end are undoubtedly joyful, especially at the very beginning when everything feels new and exciting.

The alpha wolf clearly understood, and it kept growling in its throat, as if it was extremely angry.

Just then, the sword spirit teased it with its sword. In pain, it rammed the sword spirit away and turned to spit out a piece of broken bone at Yang Qingfeng.

"Is there really a backup plan?"

Yang Qingfeng was overjoyed and immediately released the third sword spirit.

Two sword spirits had been exploring outside. Nearly an hour had passed when the sword spirit heading south reached the edge of the land first. Yang Qingfeng had already recalled it into his sword domain.

Summoning it again at this point will not consume mana.

The sword spirit appeared and immediately turned around, picked up Yang Qingfeng and flew backward.

"roar!!"

With a howl from the alpha wolf, the broken bone shone with a brilliant blue light, illuminating the dark forest and unleashing endless wind blades.

The wind blades cut outwards in all directions, breaking tree roots and tearing branches and leaves to shreds wherever they passed. Such a fierce and ruthless move was enough to kill most newly promoted cultivators.

For this reason, a hint of pleasure and disdain flashed in the alpha wolf's eyes.

However, it froze the next second.

Its wind field can instantly cover a range of 100 meters in 3 seconds, and the surrounding tree canopy has been shattered. But under the brilliant Milky Way starry sky, a three-foot-long green sword hangs in the sky, with a small figure in a white robe hanging below.

It was none other than Yang Qingfeng!

This kid can actually fly on a sword!

The alpha wolf stared wide-eyed, let out a sudden howl, and then turned and ran.

Yang Qingfeng, gripping the sword hilt and hanging in mid-air, grinned wildly: "Why didn't I run earlier? Too late!"

With a thought, three sword spirits approached from three directions in an instant, startling the alpha wolf into leaping over the three intersecting sword lights.

However, with two sharp cracks, the two sword spirits simultaneously slapped its two hind legs and pulled it sharply.

The alpha wolf was thrown back to the ground. It quickly got up and, in shock, tried to spit out the broken bone again. But as soon as it opened its mouth, a blue sword pierced through it, interrupting its spellcasting.

In an instant, the alpha wolf's fur stood on end, and the sudden chill instantly turned into intense pain, causing it to thrash wildly and howl as it continuously unleashed wind blades.

These unpredictable wind blades posed absolutely no threat to the sword spirit.

They moved with agility, their swords flashing like dragons, and in the blink of an eye, they surrounded the alpha wolf from three directions. This time, the alpha wolf had no chance.

As a meteor streaked across the sky, the alpha wolf plummeted to its death amidst a terrifying howl.

The sword spirits dragged it back to Yang Qingfeng's side and disemboweled it.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the broken bone was removed, the light mist formed from the essence came to life. It quickly enveloped the broken bone and melted and absorbed it in the blink of an eye.

"It wants to eat you, and you want to eat it too?"

Yang Qingfeng was extremely surprised. Then he saw the light mist begin to condense and expand, like the rhythm of a heartbeat. After repeating this dozens of times, it suddenly burst out with a loud hum, unleashing a powerful vitality.

This vitality pierced directly through Yang Qingfeng's body, transforming into visible ripples that rapidly traveled across the land, ultimately stirring some unknown entity and causing the entire continent to tremble.

"What happened?"

The newly promoted cultivators on this land were all alarmed. Everyone looked towards the mountains to the north, following the tremor, and their expressions changed drastically.

"Has anyone completed the trial?"

"This noise sounds like something is coming back to life!"

"Could it be the boss of the secret realm?"

"Quick, let's go check it out no matter what, maybe it'll be first come, first served!"

In an instant, everyone rushed towards the northern mountain range, without considering the risks involved.

Only Yang Qingfeng remained in place, his expression one of utter shock.

Before him, the light and mist seemed to be completely revived, gradually condensing into a strange flower.

This flower is pure white and transparent, like ice crystals, and releases an indescribable fragrance. The fragrance is so sweet that it seems to have a tangible quality. Just smelling it greatly enhances his spiritual senses, and it even seems to improve his cultivation level.

"This is... divine matter?"

Yang Qingfeng was faintly excited, but before he could sort out his thoughts, the strange flower suddenly took shape and transformed into a stream of light that rushed into his mind.

Following that was an ethereal voice: "Come here, kill me."
