Goddess Painting

Qin Feng was overjoyed.

It's important to know that there are very few body cultivators!

Because of the high difficulty of cultivation, one must rely on extremely precious body-refining techniques or consume rare and precious materials for body refining in order to cultivate various "treasure bodies".

Once mastered, their combat power is extremely strong!

Now, with his physical body alone, he is enough to contend with ordinary Divine Power Realm martial artists!

"Awesome!"

Qin Feng let out a long howl and examined his jade body.

His body is as hard as jade, impervious to swords and spears!

With his current strength, he can defeat even a late-stage Divine Power Realm opponent, and even hold his own against a ninth-level Divine Power Realm opponent.

Add to that the defensive capabilities of the Golden Cloud Armor, and it becomes even stronger!

Qin Feng was very satisfied with his current strength.

He looked inward at his dantian and found that the colorless energy ball had shrunk to the size of an egg.

"Tsk, this is too much."

Qin Feng used the Nameless Stone Tablet Technique to replenish the energy for a full hour before the ball of energy returned to its original state.

Looking at the spiritual roots now, the four spiritual roots seemed to have dimmed slightly.

"It seems the path of replicating spiritual roots cannot be stopped!"

"Time is limited in the secret realm; it's time to find other spiritual herbs."

Qin Feng took out a map and searched for his target on it.

"Burning Shadow Grass?"

Qin Feng muttered to himself:

"Although this Burning Shadow Grass is a fourth-tier spiritual herb, it produces fire poison after consumption. Even if it were a material for alchemy, no one would choose it. This is a golden opportunity!"

With that thought in mind, Qin Feng kicked aside the boulder and ran towards the area where the Burning Shadow Grass grew.

……

Meanwhile, on another main road ten miles away from Qin Feng.

Five dark figures silently swept past.

The leader was dressed in a black robe, with a hideous bronze demon mask covering his face, and held a compass that shimmered with red light in his hand.

A shadowy figure.

The aura emanating from him was as cold and sinister as a snake, and it had actually subtly surpassed the realm of divine power!

Halfway to enlightenment!

"Still haven't found it? Shadow, is this star chart some cheap knock-off from a street vendor?"

Behind him, a man as big as a bear complained in a muffled voice.

He carried two millstone-sized stone hammers on his back; those were the second son's "Mountain Shaker".

"We had to search for this garbage in the new habitat for so long? What bad luck!"

A gaunt man standing nearby, toying with a venomous snake, sneered.

The third child, "Snake Kiss".

The remaining two, one at the ninth level of the Divine Power Realm and the other at the peak of the Divine Power Realm, remained silent, but their eyes revealed their disdain for this mission.

"Shut up."

The shadowy figure coldly uttered two words.

Suddenly, the red light on the astrolabe began to flicker violently, and the pointer pointed firmly forward!

"Found it."

A bloodthirsty cruelty flashed in the shadow's eyes, and he licked his dry, cracked lips.

"His identity token has been personally marked with a tracking mark by that person. Unless he throws the token away, he will die no matter where he goes."

"A newbie from the new realm... Heh, an easy task."

"Whoosh!"

The five figures vanished like arrows from a bow in an instant at the end of the tunnel.

……

At this moment, Qin Feng was standing next to an underground fissure that smelled of sulfur.

Not far away, a fiery red herb with black shadows on its leaves was taking root on the edge of the lava.

Burning Shadow Grass!

Fourth-tier spiritual medicine!

"This is the treasure imbued with fire poison? To me, it's a tonic no less potent than the Yin Marrow Mushroom!"

He was about to step forward.

"call out--!"

A chilling glint suddenly shot out from the darkness behind them without warning!

Those were arrows flying at breakneck speed, the sound of air friction they generated almost pierced eardrums!

"not good!!"

A chill ran down Qin Feng's spine and straight to his brain, making his scalp tingle!

He twisted his body forcefully, desperately dodging at this critical moment!

"Bang!!"

The arrow grazed his shoulder and embedded itself hard in the stone pillar next to him, actually piercing through the thick pillar!

The impact was extremely strong. Even though it didn't hit the target, the aftershock still sent Qin Feng flying three to five zhang away!

Before he could even regain his footing...

Two figures emerged from the shadows, one on the left and one on the right, their longswords gleaming with cold light aimed straight at Qin Feng's ribs!

"Get out of here!!"

Qin Feng attacked with both hands, and the jade-like luster on his skin instantly exploded!

"Clang! Clang!"

Two crisp, metallic clanging sounds!

The two assassins, both at the late stage of the Divine Power Realm, felt a jolt in their hands, and their longswords almost slipped from their grasp!

The two assassins, who had been knocked back, staggered back to Youying's side, their sword-wielding hands still trembling slightly.

"This...this kid is acting strange!"

One of them swallowed hard, his eyes filled with horror:

"If someone at the Divine Power Realm had protective qi, that would be one thing, but he clearly didn't even activate a spiritual energy shield! He managed to deflect our swords with just his physical body? How could someone at the Newborn Realm have such a monstrous physique?!"

That's way too hard!

It was like striking a piece of ancient black iron!

"waste."

Behind the shadowy figure, the burly man 'Mountain Shaker' carrying a stone hammer chuckled, his face trembling with menacing fat.

"I bet you two used up all your energy on a woman's belly last night, didn't you? A mere novice in the early stages of cultivation, no matter how talented, how strong can he be? He couldn't even break the skin? Shameful!"

Another person chimed in with a sinister tone: "Exactly, don't make excuses for your incompetence."

Taking advantage of this opening, Qin Feng planted his feet firmly and steadied himself.

He forcefully suppressed the surging blood and qi within him, his heart pounding wildly in his chest, and he shouted sharply:

"Who are you?!"

"Why would someone commit such a heinous act?"

The shadowy figure slowly raised its head, its bronze ghost face appearing particularly ferocious and terrifying in the dim light of the underground fire.

His voice was hoarse and devoid of warmth: "The one who will take your life."

Qin Feng's pupils suddenly contracted!

Is this going to kill me?

With such a face that even his own mother wouldn't recognize him, how could someone possibly come looking for him to take his life?

Qin Feng took a deep breath, feigning composure as he cupped his hands in a respectful gesture, his tone sincere: "Seniors, I have never met you before, nor do I have any grudge against you! If you desire this Burning Shadow Grass, I will simply withdraw; why must you be so ruthless?"

As he spoke, he subtly took half a step back.

"No enmity or grudge?"

Youying glanced down at the star chart in her hand, which was glowing bright red, and a mocking smile appeared on her lips.

He slowly raised his finger and tapped Qin Feng's brow from a distance:

"Qin Feng, things have come to this point, stop pretending."

"I must say, the mask on your face is indeed a rare item. Even if I stand in front of you, I still cannot see through your true appearance."

The shadow's tone suddenly turned cold, revealing its murderous intent:

"However, the dead don't need masks! I can confirm that you are Qin Feng!!"

boom!

Before he finished speaking, Youying burst forth like a black lightning bolt!

"Do it!!"

The remaining four were already poised to attack. Upon hearing the command, they instantly formed a fan shape and surrounded the area, their various colors of spiritual energy illuminating the dark cave!

We've been exposed?!

Qin Feng's mind went blank!

How was it exposed?

This Thousand Illusions Mask can even fool those at the Blood Transformation Realm!

Could there be a powerful being among these people who has surpassed the Blood Transformation Realm?

Qin Feng didn't dare to take the blow head-on. He stomped his foot hard, and the ground cracked instantly. Using the force of the recoil, he sprinted like an arrow toward the passage to his side and rear!

"Trying to run away?!"

"Stay here, you bastard!!"

Behind him, "Mountain Shaker" roared and threw two huge stone hammers from his hands, which slammed into Qin Feng's back with a whistling sound!

At the same time, the venomous snake in 'Snake Kiss's' hand transformed into a green light, shooting straight at Qin Feng's neck!

"Clang! Clang!!"

Qin Feng had no time to turn around and could only instinctively twist his body to avoid vital points!

The stone hammer grazed his back and slammed into the rock wall, sending debris flying!

But the venomous snake bit his shoulder!

however--

There was no horrific scene of skin and flesh being torn open as I had imagined!

That faint jade-like luster instantly flowed through his body, and the venomous snake's fangs seemed to bite into a steel plate. Not only did they fail to penetrate, but one of the fangs broke off!

"Hiss—!" The venomous snake cried out in pain and fell to the ground.

The eyes of the pursuers nearly popped out of their sockets!

"This is still a newly discovered area?!"

"It withstood the bite of a venomous snake at the Divine Strength Realm without even breaking its skin? This physical body... is probably comparable to a Divine Strength Realm demonic beast!"

The greed in the shadow's eyes grew stronger, and he licked his dry lips with his tongue.

"What a magnificent physique! It seems this lad is hiding a shocking secret!"

"If only we could turn him into a puppet..."

"Hehehe! Don't hold back! It's better to catch them alive, if you can't catch them, take the corpses back!!"

With a flicker, the shadowy figure vanished from the spot!

next second!

A cold, gust of wind appeared without warning to Qin Feng's left!

"You try one of my moves too!"

Qin Feng felt a chill run down his spine; this kind of unpredictable movement technique was simply impossible to defend against!

He suddenly lunged to the right, using a protruding stalagmite as cover!

"Bang!!"

The stalagmite instantly turned into powder!

Before Qin Feng could even land, the shadowy claws, like a persistent leech, once again reached for his throat!

too fast!

Is this the power of a half-step Qi Opening Realm cultivator?!

Qin Feng could only roll awkwardly on the ground to narrowly avoid the claw, a few strands of his hair were cut off by the strong wind and fell to the ground!

"Let's see how many times you can dodge!"

Youying snorted coldly and made her third move!

This time, he formed his five fingers into hooks, with dark, malevolent energy swirling around his fingertips, sealing off all of Qin Feng's escape routes!

There's no way to avoid it!

A ruthless glint flashed in Qin Feng's eyes!

Since there's no way to avoid it, the only option is to tough it out with your own body!

He shifted his body slightly, avoiding the vital area of ​​the heart, and offered his shoulder instead!

"Bang!!"

A muffled thud!

Qin Feng felt that half of his body was numb!

Even with the double defense of the jade body and the golden cloud armor, that sinister force still penetrated through the body!

My shoulder instantly became red and swollen, as if it had been burned by a red-hot iron!

"So strong!!"

Using the immense force of the impact, Qin Feng flew backward for over ten feet, creating distance between them!

Just a slight scratch almost ruined my arm!

If I were to take a hit head-on, I would lose my life here today!

This shadowy figure...

It has definitely transcended the realm of divine power!

Too dangerous!

"They're still standing?!"

The four people behind Youying were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped.

The boss personally took action, aiming for a fatal blow in three moves, yet this kid only suffered minor scratches?!

What kind of monster is this kid?!

"Don't just stand there! Attack together!!"
