[You have killed a Third-order Wolf Demon. Your Killing Intent proficiency has increased.]
The status panel refreshed.
At this moment, after blasting the Wolf Demon to death with a single punch, the Dragon Scale power that erupted from Chen Feng's body was quickly retracted.
Hoo!
He let out a deep breath.
Only then did Chen Feng feel his own exhaustion.
Unleashing ten times the strength and defense at once still put a strain on his physical body.
With a flash, Chen Feng appeared in front of the Wolf Demon.
He said coldly, "Was Huang Haisheng the one who sent you?"
His expression was chilling.
The Wolf Demon on the ground, in its dying moments, had a mocking look in its eyes.
It wanted to speak, but it had no chance at all, turning into a corpse.
Chen Feng's eyes were filled with killing intent. He no longer needed an answer; the Wolf Demon's gaze had told him everything.
That Huang Haisheng was actually still alive!
At this moment, Wan Baoyang, who had been chasing after him, finally arrived in front of Chen Feng. His eyes were filled with shock and disbelief as he exclaimed, "Chen Feng, was that your awakened talent just now?"
A hint of fatigue flickered in Chen Feng's eyes. Hearing Wan Baoyang's words, he finally felt relieved and nodded, "Yes. Fortunately, this Wolf Demon fell for the trap, otherwise I would have been in trouble."
Wan Baoyang's eyes held envy. "So that's how it is."
No wonder he had caught the eye of the Divine Phoenix Sword Cultivator Yun Xi, even receiving her Recommendation Token!
During the recent battle, he had also sensed that Chen Feng had broken through his cultivation realm mid-fight.
Then, at the moment of his breakthrough, he used that terrifying Martial Talent to kill the Wolf Demon with a single punch.
Having just entered the Second Order, he could kill a Third-order opponent across realms.
A Martial Artist like this, as long as he didn't perish, would definitely become a prodigy on the Human Ranking in the future!
Wan Baoyang thought about these things and then said, "What are your plans now, Brother Chen?"
"You killed three Demons this time, so you should get at least a hundred points when you return."
Chen Feng heard this, glanced towards Black Mountain, and said solemnly, "Brother Wan, do you know what the situation is in Black Mountain right now? Should we go into Black Mountain to take a look?"
Wan Baoyang's eyes showed some thought as he said gravely, "Entering Black Mountain now is probably not a good time."
"I've heard that not only are the disciples of the Demon Cult gathering in Black Mountain recently, but some Demons are also congregating there."
"Moreover, based on what's happened these past few days, there might be a Demon General appearing in Black Mountain."
"Organized Demons and disorganized Demons are not the same thing. We are still young, so it's best to be as cautious as possible."
Chen Feng's eyes showed some surprise. "Demon General? What do you mean?"
Wan Baoyang glanced at their surroundings, seeing that quite a few villagers were looking in their direction. He continued, "Let's move somewhere else. If we talk too much here, it might cause these villagers to panic."
Chen Feng nodded, "Alright."
Then, with a wave of his hand, he collected the corpses of the three Wolf Demons.
The Blood Dragon Devouring Art, which he had just advanced to, needed Demon corpses for cultivation.
Furthermore, all three Demons had practically died at Chen Feng's hands.
Wan Baoyang only needed to obtain a bit of their Demon essence blood, and he had no intention of fighting over them.
At this moment, many villagers had gathered around.
When they looked at the two of them, their eyes held reverence.
Especially when they looked at Chen Feng, some people had expressions of disbelief.
Was this really Chen Feng from their village?
Even Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu were shocked and didn't dare to approach.
Seeing this, Chen Feng smiled, "Uncle Liu, Aunt Liu, don't you recognize me?"
"If you want to go to the county town, you can come back with us later."
"From now on, the villages at the foot of Black Mountain will likely not be safe."
Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu both smiled. Uncle Liu quickly said, "Okay."
"Liu Yuan also sent me a letter before. We were planning to go to the county town to stay for a while."
Chen Feng smiled, "Good."
Then, he and Wan Baoyang entered his old house.
It was still the same adobe house. Upon opening the door, Chen Feng looked at the surroundings with a complex expression.
Although he had only been gone for a few days, it felt like a long time had passed.
Wan Baoyang glanced at the simple house, a hint of surprise in his eyes. "Brother Chen, is this where you used to live?"
Chen Feng's eyes held a complex emotion as he nodded. "Yes, I grew up here."
"If it weren't for Sword Cultivator Yun Xi, I probably would have become a hunter!"
Admiringly, Wan Baoyang said, "Brother Chen is truly a genius, and Sword Cultivator Yun Xi has a discerning eye!"
Chen Feng smiled, not dwelling on the topic, and asked, "Brother Wan, you mentioned a Demon General earlier?"
Wan Baoyang nodded. "Our Martial Artists are divided into nine ranks, from one to nine. Demons correspond to orders one to nine."
"Once they reach the sixth order, they are basically powerful individuals capable of guarding a region."
"In our Great Gan, sixth-order powerhouses are generally City Lords or commanders of demon-hunting legions who hold a region."
"Amongst demons, they are called Demon Generals. Do you know why?"
Chen Feng shook his head. "I really don't."
He had only stepped into the martial world a few days ago.
Although he had read some basic information, he didn't understand these specifics.
A hint of complexity flickered in Wan Baoyang's eyes as he said gravely, "In martial cultivation, before the sixth order, whether it's Body Refining or Qi Cultivation, it only involves one's own cultivation."
"But after reaching the sixth order, one begins to comprehend Intent. Any Martial Artist who has comprehended Intent can alter the weather and move mountains and seas with a wave of their hand. It can be said that one person can destroy a city, and they are also called walking natural disasters."
Chen Feng's pupils contracted, shocked. "One person destroys a city? Like cities such as our Black Stone City?"
Wan Baoyang nodded. "Yes."
"To be called a city, it must be at least a county town."
He knew that the only city he was aware of, Black Stone City, was the weakest county town, with a population of over a million.
It also had a large number of Martial Artists. And a sixth-order demon could destroy a city?
Disbelief filled Chen Feng's eyes as he murmured, "How is that possible?"
Wan Baoyang, knowing Chen Feng hadn't witnessed it, explained further, "There's nothing impossible about it."
"The extent to which sixth-order powerhouses can achieve depends on the Intent they comprehend."
"Take our City Lord of Black Stone City, also known as the Mountain Mover True Person. He comprehends the Mountain Moving Intent. After using his Intent, he can even forcibly move actual mountain peaks."
"The shortest mountain peak is hundreds of meters tall. If such a peak, or even dozens of them, were moved and smashed into Black Stone City, wouldn't that destroy the city?"
Chen Feng imagined the scene, his eyes widening in horror. "Can Martial Artists truly do that?"
He simply couldn't fathom how terrifying that would be!
Wan Baoyang's gaze was complex. "Yes, and that's for a sixth-order Intent Martial Artist. At the seventh-order Grandmaster realm, it's even more terrifying."
"With a wave of their hand, heaven and earth change color."
"In our martial cultivation, the gap before the sixth order isn't that significant. But after reaching the sixth order, even a small difference in a minor realm can feel like an insurmountable chasm."
"It is rumored that in the past, this realm was also called the Immortal on Land Realm."
A complex expression crossed Chen Feng's face as he murmured, "So that's how it is. If there really are sixth-order Demon Generals in Black Mountain, then it's best we don't venture in rashly right now."
Moreover, at this moment, he thought of Sword Cultivator Yun Xi.
Sixth-order powerhouses were already so terrifying.
How powerful must Sword Cultivator Yun Xi be to have escaped from a sixth-order powerhouse with only fifth-order cultivation?
Wan Baoyang said solemnly, "Yes, so the most important thing for us is to improve our cultivation. At the very least, we need to reach the fifth order before entering Black Mountain to have a better chance of survival."
Chen Feng nodded. "Alright."
He then chatted with Wan Baoyang about other information, which broadened Chen Feng's horizons.
He learned more about the martial world of Great Gan.
After communicating with Wan Baoyang, Wan Baoyang chose to return first. Chen Feng asked Wan Baoyang to deliver a message to Lin Xue, saying he needed to pack some things in the village and would return later.
In reality, Chen Feng wanted to try out the Blood Dragon Devouring Art.
However, he was worried that if he devoured demons back in the city, the powerhouses there might find out through other means, or some unexpected event might occur, which would be troublesome.
It would be better to try it out in this mountain village.
