Beast Skin

"What a terrifying old guy. Luckily, I got away fast enough, or I'd be in big trouble."

Chu Feng, who had fled the Fang Family at full speed, was panting heavily.

His skin was flushed red, and wisps of white steam rose from his body.

If one looked closely, they would see that the sweat flowing from Chu Feng's pores was red.

This was a symptom of his body's extreme exertion, his muscles and skin bulging, and blood vessels rupturing under the immense pressure.

[Killed an early-stage Muscle Tendon Realm martial artist, Plundered Lifespan +10 years!]

[Remaining Lifespan: 162 years!]

Hearing the system notification, Chu Feng breathed a sigh of relief. Fang Jian Xing had finally died!

It was worth the price he paid, squeezing his body's potential to unleash that lightning-fast strike.

It was a shame he couldn't defeat that old guy in the Bone Forging Realm, otherwise, things would have been perfect.

Chu Feng stroked the Mò Dāo and found an indentation the size of a dragon's eye on the blade. It must have been caused by the flying leaf from Fang Hanshan just now.

"Martial artists in the Bone Forging Realm are quite strong. I'll let that old guy live a few more days."

Chu Feng moved at high speed and suddenly saw Lin Da Niu peeking suspiciously towards the Fang Family in an alley.

"What are you guys doing here?" Chu Feng leaped over and asked.

"Chu Feng, you're alive?" Lin Qiao Er blurted out subconsciously.

From the beginning, she hadn't believed Chu Feng would return alive.

After arriving near the Fang Family, she had been thinking about how to persuade her elder brother to leave.

Chu Feng's face darkened...

Lin Da Niu shot his sister a glare and looked at Chu Feng with surprise. "Brother Chu, are you okay?"

"Look at me, full of life and vigor. What could possibly be wrong?"

"What about the Fang Family?"

Chu Feng glanced around. "This isn't a place to talk. Let's go back and discuss it."

Lin Da Niu nodded, and the siblings disappeared into the dark alley.

"Fang Jian Xing is really dead?"

"And a Muscle Tendon Realm martial artist, plus Enshrined Elder Yang Yu and Enshrined Elder Lin Canghe?"

Lin Da Niu's eyes widened like ox eyes. He still couldn't believe what Chu Feng was saying.

"Of course. What benefit would I get from lying to you?"

"However, that old brat Fang Hanshan is terrifyingly strong. I couldn't take him down. You two must keep a low profile these next few days. Once my cultivation reaches Grand Perfection in a few days, I'll kill him too, and then we can live in peace."

Chu Feng said with a serious expression.

He had no idea how much shock his words had caused Lin Da Niu.

Although he always called Chu Feng "Brother," just over ten days ago, their Martial Arts realms were comparable.

How could it be that after only a few days, Chu Feng could kill a Muscle Tendon Realm martial artist as easily as killing a chicken?

Not only that, but he was also planning to kill a Bone Forging Realm martial artist?

Still, Lin Da Niu was happy for his good brother's strength.

"I understand the seriousness of the situation. I won't go out unless something important comes up these next few days."

At the same time, he looked at his sister. "Little sister, you stay at home these next few days and don't go anywhere."

"Big Brother, I understand. I'm not a child, I know what's important."

As Lin Qiao Er replied, her eyes were fixed on Chu Feng, sparkling with admiration.

Seeing this, he knew exactly what his sister was thinking.

If it were before, he might have taken advantage of their close relationship to mention it to Chu Feng. But now, with Chu Feng's strength, he was truly exceptional.

Although his sister wasn't bad-looking, she paled in comparison to the young ladies from prominent families.

Lin Da Niu remained silent, planning to talk to his sister later, after a few days, and tell her not to get too deeply involved.

After giving his instructions, Chu Feng waved his hand. "Let's go back. I'll take my leave now."

Today's events had a huge impact on the siblings, especially Lin Qiao Er.

Originally, she had held a grudge against Chu Feng, believing he had caused her brother's disability.

Now, she finally understood that Chu Feng was the true benefactor of their family.

"Brother Chu, goodbye..."

Lin Qiao Er's well-behaved and cute demeanor surprised Chu Feng a little, but he soon shook his head.

He didn't have time to think about romance right now; women only slowed down his saber draws.

Returning to the rented courtyard, Chu Feng hung warning bells on the doors and windows before falling into a peaceful sleep.

The morning rooster crowed, the mist hazy.

Chu Feng sprang up from the bed in a carp flip.

Seeing that it was still early, he picked up the Mò Dāo from the bedside and practiced a set of Breaking Edge Saber Technique in the courtyard.

Once his body felt slightly warm, he washed up briefly, put the Mò Dāo under the bed, and headed out.

Locking the courtyard gate, Chu Feng saw Li Zhenshan, who was also preparing to leave, and greeted him with a smile, "Good morning, Master Li."

Li Zhenshan glanced at Chu Feng suspiciously and said, "Why are you so happy today? Did you hook up with some girl?"

"There is indeed something to be happy about, but unfortunately, it's not a girl. I wonder if Master Li has a daughter? If so, I could become a live-in son-in-law..."

Chu Feng said with a grin.

This old guy was incredibly mysterious, a ready-made golden thigh to cling to. Not doing so would be a disservice to himself.

As for being a live-in son-in-law, he, a modern person, didn't care about such things at all. In ancient times, how many kings, marquises, generals, and even emperors rose to power through women.

Not having a thigh to cling to was the saddest thing in life.

"I do have a daughter, but unfortunately, you wouldn't catch her eye."

Li Zhenshan stood still, gazing into the distance as if reminiscing about something, his expression dimming.

"Hey, old man, don't be sad. Even without a daughter, I can still take care of you in your old age. But you'll have to give me some tangible benefits..."

Chu Feng wasn't discouraged, adopting the attitude of "give it a shot even if it might not work," thinking maybe he could get lucky and find some treasure!

"What do you want?" Li Zhenshan asked with a chuckle.

"You're a Bone Forging Realm martial artist, so you must have many Tendon Transformation cultivation methods, right?"

Chu Feng rubbed his hands, revealing his true intentions.

"Get lost! You're trying to pull a fast one on me?"

Li Zhenshan was both angry and amused. Although his reputation wasn't well-known in Yong'an City, he was still a Bone Forging Realm expert. He was once fearsome enough to make children cry themselves to sleep.

This was the first time he had ever seen someone so shamelessly try to trick a Bone Forging Realm martial artist!

"Master Li, we're practically colleagues working at the same stove. Can't you even fulfill this small request?"

"A small request? Cultivation methods above Skin Grinding are heavily regulated by the imperial court and major families and sects. Tendon Transformation cultivation methods are already the foundational techniques of some small families, the inheritance of their family's glory and wealth!"

"Master Li, you don't have any, do you? If you don't, just say so. I won't look down on you just because you're a Bone Forging Realm expert and don't even have a simple Tendon Transformation cultivation method..."

Chu Feng completely ignored Li Zhenshan's words and instead deliberately provoked him.

Hearing Chu Feng's words, Li Zhenshan's eyes and nose seemed out of place, his old face flushing red as he glared at Chu Feng.

"I don't have any? How could I not have any? Let alone Tendon Transformation cultivation methods, I can even get internal breathing techniques above Bone Forging!"

"You don't need to pay extra taxes for boasting. You can just tell me what you have, and I'll listen..."

Chu Feng said sarcastically.

"Fine, fine... You got me. Don't deliberately provoke me. Today, I'll let you witness a truly profound cultivation method."

Li Zhenshan was a proud man and couldn't stand being provoked!

Even though he knew Chu Feng was setting a trap for him, he jumped right into it without hesitation.

Then, Li Zhenshan took out a tattered beast skin from his embrace and threw it to Chu Feng.

"Take it! If you can cultivate it to Grand Perfection, let alone the guys who came looking for trouble a few days ago, you can even spar with Bone Forging experts!"
