Chapter 026：Returning to Familiar Grounds

Nowadays, Lin Feng is only at the level of the eighth stage of the "Qi-Wu" realm. Even at this stage, he is capable of posing a threat to Lu Liang. Lin Feng is fully convinced that as long as he reaches the ninth stage of the "Qi-Wu" realm, he will definitely have the strength to fight back. 

"Nine Waves." Lin Feng launched his left fist, causing the waves to surge and crashing directly towards Lu Liang's face. 

"Split Cloud Claws." Lu Liang raised one of his hands, curved his fingers like hooks, and forcefully thrust them forward. Instantly, a powerful aura pierced through the air, and the powerful wave seemed to have a tendency to dissipate like smoke and clouds. 

"Thunderclap without limit." 

Lin Feng's wrist trembled slightly. The long sword in Lu Liang's hand quivered as well. The sound of thundering waves was growing louder and louder. Lu Liang felt his hand go numb and let go of the long sword. 

But at the moment of release, Lu Liang's claws struck the long sword fiercely. Lin Feng felt a tremendous force coming towards him. His body was flung out by the force and he let out a groan. 

"Lu Liang possesses the Eagle Spirit Soul. It is characterized by its sharpness, insight and destructive power. Strength is secondary, but with the force of a罡 qi attack, it still has the power equivalent to tens of thousands of pounds 

Lin Feng thought to himself in his heart, "Having eight ranks of cultivation in the Qi-Wu realm is far too different from being in the Ling-Wu realm. You know, there is already a huge gap between the Qi-Wu realm and the Ling-Wu realm. But challenging from one level to another is much more difficult than both being in the Qi-Wu realm. I know that it's not realistic for me to defeat Lu Liang." 

"An attack with a single sword strikes terror." Lin Feng once again brandished his long sword in his hand. However, he did not initiate an attack. The first sword pierced through the air, and then the second and third swords followed one after another, causing thunderous reverberations. Inside the cave, echoes resounded repeatedly, all filled with thunderous sounds, as if the thunder god was enraged. 

In a moment, a sword aura appeared around Lin Feng, enveloping him completely. The sword energy raged. 

"Defensive? Does it work? In the presence of the powerful ones in the Lingwu Realm, any means is superfluous." Lu Liang sneered and with a flick of his wings, the Eagle's Wings flashed. He swooped down from the air towards Lin Feng. Before he reached him, the powerful Qi罡 had already blasted onto Jian Mu, causing a deafening explosion sound. 

In the "Jianmu" game, Lin Feng felt as if he were on a solitary boat in the vast ocean. The boat was tossed about by the wind and rain, and the powerful Qi罡 kept pounding on Jianmu, transmitting its force to him. However, the Thunderclap Sword Technique remained as smooth and flowing as flowing clouds and running water, remaining undisturbed. 

"The eagle soars through the vast expanse of the sky." 

When Lu Liang saw that the Qi Gang couldn't subdue Lin Feng, he spread his arms wide and raised his hands into eagle claws. Then he soared down from the air, like an eagle soaring through the sky and breaking through the wind. 

"Boom!" Jian Mu gave a violent shudder. Lin Feng's body also trembled slightly, but then it steadied again. The thunderclap continued, standing firm as a mountain. 

Lyu Liang saw that he couldn't control his own martial cultivation at the level of the Inner Martial Realm. His attacks became increasingly frenzied. He transformed into a wild and rebellious solitary eagle, launching a barrage of attacks at Lin Feng. 

Lin Feng felt the pressure increasing on him, but his swordsmanship became more and more proficient. The entire cave was filled with thunderous sounds, and it seemed to be swaying slightly, as if it might collapse at any moment. 

A trickle of blood trickled out from Lin Feng's corner of the mouth. Lu Liang's every strike was stronger than 12,000 catties, and unpredictable. There was no pattern to it. His internal organs were severely injured. 

"It's time to call it a day." 或 "It's time to call it a wrap." 

A glint of sharpness flashed in Lin Feng's eyes. With a flourish of his long sword, the sword smoke vanished into nothingness. Countless sword essences followed Lin Feng's sword, and the powerful thunder-like energy seemed to have merged into this single sword strike of his. 

Power, the power of the sword, the power of the thunderclap, shattering everything! 

The terrifying and destructive force from Lin Feng's sword spread wildly. Lu Liang sensed this power. The Eagle Spirit Soul of Lu Liang trembled violently, and his body flew backward in the air, moving extremely rapidly and instantly getting away from Lin Feng. 

But Lin Feng's sword did not cease its motion. The faint light and shadow passed by swiftly. The powerful sword strike transformed into a thunderous stream of light, crashing towards Lu Liang. 

"Swift as an eagle in the sky!" Lu Liang roared loudly, his two palms simultaneously extending, emitting an extremely powerful Qi罡. 

"Boom!" The ground shook violently and the entire cave shook up and down abruptly. 

"Skimming the surface." 

Lin Feng's entire body transformed into a stream of light, speeding towards the entrance of the cave. As he left, he cast a sword strike, and a wailing sound followed. 

"Son of a bitch!" Lu Liang roared wildly. He could be seen with his hands covered in blood, obviously wounded by that extremely powerful sword strike. Had he not retreated quickly, that sword strike could even have threatened his life. 

Lu Liangwan never expected that a person in the realm of "Spiritual Power" would not only escape from under his nose but also wound him, and even kill his younger brother Lu Fei with one sword strike. 

Holding Lu Fei's body, Lu Liang's face was as twisted and terrifying as that of a ghost. At this moment, blood was spurting from Lu Fei's throat and his breath had ceased. This was the result of that single sword strike from Lin Feng when he left. 

"I'm Lu Liang, and I won't give up until you do." The voice echoed in the cave, sounding as if it came from hell. Xue Huan trembled all over with fear, leaning against the cave's stone wall. She never expected that Lin Feng's strength was so powerful that even Lu Liang, who was stronger than her, couldn't defeat him. 

If Lin Feng heard Lu Liang's roar, he would have chuckled. Lu Liang had already made it clear that he wanted him dead. The two of them were already in a life-and-death situation. There was no point in talking about not stopping until the end. Killing one more person would be a gain. 

Lin Feng is not a villain. He doesn't go around provoking others or resorting to violence to harm others. However, if someone wants to bully or kill him, he will naturally draw his three-foot-long sharp sword and fight back. 

After running at full speed for half an hour, Lin Feng's pace gradually slowed down. He coughed twice and blood spurted from the corner of his mouth. Lin Feng was obviously seriously injured. After all, the gap in strength and realm between the two of them was obvious. In this battle, he fought against a powerful spirit realm cultivator with his eight-dan martial realm cultivation. It was something to be proud of. 

Taking out a bottle from his body, Lin Feng opened it and poured out a pill of medicinal herb into his mouth. A refreshing and invigorating sensation spread throughout his body. Lin Feng felt that the pent-up breath in his chest instantly eased up. He became clear-headed and energetic. Before long, he felt that his injuries had almost all recovered. 

"Such powerful and domineering efficacy!" 

Lin Feng's eyes showed a look of astonishment. It was no wonder that Master Kuo said that one pill was enough to cure Han Man's injuries. At that time, he was still somewhat skeptical. He gave Han Man three pills at once and left three more for Jing Yun. He was prepared for all eventualities. But now, when he personally experienced this pill, Lin Feng could clearly feel how powerful it was. 

At this moment, Lin Feng not only felt that his injuries had healed, but also that his internal energy had become stronger. 

"Then it is no wonder that many people are willing to immerse themselves in the Tao of Danxi. Those good elixirs are enough to make martial cultivators go crazy for them." 

In the Nine Heavens Continent, many martial cultivators also engage in alchemy and crafting. Those masters of alchemy and crafting are highly respected and hold very high positions. Even within the Yunhai Sect, there are dedicated alchemists. However, Lin Feng, as an outsider disciple, has not yet come into contact with them. 

The saying that "fighting is the best way to improve" is indeed true. After experiencing a fierce battle, I, with the assistance of this powerful elixir, have clearly seen an improvement in my realm. It's better than the years of hard cultivation. Now it's time to find a good place to consolidate and enhance further. Maybe I can take this opportunity to break through to the ninth stage of the Qi-Wu realm. When that time comes, I'll probably return to Yangzhou City to attend the annual gathering. 

Lin Feng thought of this and glanced around. To his surprise, he found that the scenery was somewhat familiar. 

"It turns out to be this." Lin Feng's eyes lit up and he smiled, then his gaze shifted towards the distance. 

Only then did I notice that the mountain wall in the distance had split open a gap in the middle, as if it had been cleaved by a sword. This was exactly the One-Lane Tunnel that Lin Feng had visited before. However, it had been forced out by a woman. 

"I was still worrying about where to find a cave to practice cultivation. I never expected that there would be such a good place right here." Lin Feng naturally wouldn't forget those two women who had been chasing after him. This time, Lin Feng was going to see how those beautiful women could handle him. 

As he lifted his feet, Lin Feng walked towards the One-Lane Tunnel. His figure directly entered the tunnel without any hesitation. 

Around the One-Gap Cave, some people saw Lin Feng enter and were stunned for a moment. Then they waited outside the main entrance to watch Lin Feng's humiliation. This guy actually dared to enter the forbidden area of Sister Liufei's place without permission. He's truly reckless! 

A moment later, Lin Feng entered the One-Lane Tunnel. Surrounding the middle hot spring lake were the mountain peaks and stone walls. There were also many caves among the stone walls. If no one disturbed it, this place was indeed very suitable for cultivation. 

At this moment in the hot spring lake, Liusi, just like last time, immersed her entire body and head in the water and held her breath. By this method, she was cultivating and strengthening her internal qi. Only when her internal qi was strong could she draw the bowstring fuller with one breath and naturally shoot out arrows with greater power. 

When Liufei's beautiful face emerged from the water, she saw Lin Feng once again. She was stunned for a moment, then narrowed her eyes and said coldly, "It's you again." 

"Yes, it's me again." Lin Feng smiled calmly. Even at the level of Lingwu Realm, he could dare to fight against her. How much more so against Liu Fei? Although Liu Fei ranked close to the top among the Outer Gate disciples, Lin Feng still had sufficient confidence. After all, Jing Hao, who ranked higher than Liu Fei, had been defeated and eliminated by Lin Feng.
