Hua Jin Perfection

"Senior Brother! Why waste your breath on him!"

The bearded fat man could no longer restrain himself. He drew his broadsword from his waist, pushed off with his feet, and charged towards Lu Feng like a meat bomb.

"A mere demon slayer? Just kill him!"

The other four men also stopped pretending and simultaneously drew their swords, attacking Lu Feng from five directions at the same time.

Lu Feng struck out with his palm at the bearded fat man who was charging at the front.

The Cold Plum Jin!

"Bang!"

A muffled thud.

Before the burly, bearded man could even contort his face into a ferocious expression, he was sent flying dozens of meters backward as if struck head-on by a battering ram.

It crashed into an ancient tree and was already lifeless when it slid to the ground.

The man's expression changed Hua Jin: "Be careful! He's Hua Jin martial artist!"

Without his prompting, the remaining three were so frightened by the scene that they stopped in their tracks and hurriedly retreated to the side of the man who had reached the Hua Jin Realm.

The four men stood in a row, their knives pointed at Lu Feng, but their hands holding the knives were trembling slightly.

The man, who Hua Jin, took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart, and adopted a negotiating tone again:

"Fellow Daoist, your methods are commendable. Hand over the head of the third-tier wolf demon now, and we may let bygones be bygones."

"I killed one of your fellow disciples. Don't you want to avenge him?"

Lu Feng tilted his head, his tone filled with genuine doubt.

"Although you are also Hua Jin cultivator, we now know your cultivation level and cannot afford to be careless and fall for a trap again."

Hua Jin man's voice regained its composure, as if he was very confident in his judgment.

Although Lu Feng's palm strike was fierce, after careful sensing, he confirmed that it was indeed the Nei Jin fluctuation of the Early Hua Jin.

Even the strongest Early Hua Jin Realm has limitations.

They have one Early Hua Jin and three Nei Jin Perfection experts, giving them a numerical advantage.

As long as you don't act recklessly like the fat guy and instead play it safe and steady, the odds of victory are still on your side.

"You talk too much nonsense."

Lu Feng drew his Six Harmonies Saber, turned with the Carefree Steps, and instantly cut into the midst of the four.

The Gale Saber Art was unleashed, and the blade light, like snowflakes swept up by a gale, swept down upon the four of them.

"Go! Don't hold back!"

The man with the Hua Jin skill roared, and the four men simultaneously brandished their swords to meet him.

"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!"

After three strikes, the heads of the three men, all Nei Jin Perfection, rolled off almost simultaneously.

They died without ever seeing from which direction Lu Feng's blade came from.

Now, you're the only one left.

The man, now at the Hua Jin Realm, stood rooted to the spot, knife in hand. His composure had shattered completely, replaced by undisguised fear.

He finally understood that the demon slayer in front of him hadn't used his full strength when he killed the fat man.

Even now, after killing his three junior brothers, he hasn't used his full strength.

"How could you be so strong? You're not a Demon Slayer! Who are you?!"

His hand holding the knife was trembling.

How could the Nei Jin fluctuations at the Early Hua Jin possibly unleash such overwhelming combat power? This defies common sense.

"Want to know?"

Lu Feng raised the Six Harmonies Saber, channeling his Nei Jin into the blade.

"Go down and ask Yama, the King of Hell!"

Gale Slash!

With a flash, the blade swept past.

Before the man with the Hua Jin could even raise his knife to block, a thin line of blood appeared on his throat.

His mouth opened and closed as if he wanted to say something, but only a string of bloody foam came out of his throat.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for successfully killing a martial artist in the Early Hua Jin. You have obtained the Hua Jin sword technique: Tyrant Saber Art;]

Lu Feng sheathed his sword, picked up all five people's storage bags, and then continued to advance deeper into Azure Wolf Ridge.

For the next two hours, his sword almost never stopped.

The number of second-tier wolf demons in the central region far exceeded his expectations.

Often, just as one wave is slaughtered and before the heads are collected, the next wave, drawn by the smell of blood, pounces on them.

They roamed in small groups, fearless and undaunted, but under Lu Feng's blade, they couldn't last a single breath.

After killing more than twenty second-tier wolf demons, he encountered two third-tier wolf demons.

These two were more cautious than the one by the stream. Upon meeting, they immediately activated their bloodline power and attacked from both sides.

Unfortunately, their bloodline power was far weaker than the first one; one activated speed, and the other activated fur hardening.

Lu Feng didn't even need to use the Gale Slash; he killed him solely with the Gale Saber Art and the Cold Plum Jin.

But it was from these two third-tier wolf demons that he obtained a piece of information.

A fourth-tier wolf demon appeared in the core area.

Fourth tier! Once a demonic beast reaches the fourth tier, it enters a completely different level.

Fourth-tier demonic beasts can completely transform into beast form and awaken their innate divine power— Ancestral Reversion.

In their Ancestral Reversion state, fourth-tier demonic beasts experience a terrifying surge in physical strength and combat power.

Lu Feng did not immediately head to the core area.

He found the back of a huge rock in a secluded mountain hollow, sat down cross-legged, and opened and sorted through the storage bags of the five people.

Apart from the second-tier broadsword of the leading man at the Hua Jin Realm, which was somewhat valuable, the rest were just ordinary pills and low-grade materials, better than nothing.

He picked out the useful items and put them away, then opened the system panel.

[Host: Lu Feng;]

[Cultivation Level: Early Hua Jin]

[Cultivation Techniques: Five Elements Primordial Chaos Art (Progress 0%); Phantom Steps (Minor Success); Hundred Beasts Body Tempering Art (Level 1); Tyrant Saber Art (Not Yet Entered)]

[Perfected Martial Arts: Nine Layered Wave Slashes (Level 3), Gale Slash, Gale Saber Art, Carefree Steps, Treading on Snow Without a Trace, Cold Plum Jin, Golden Bell Shield, Iron Cloth Shirt...]

[Demon Points: 771000;]

770,000.

In less than a day, the number of Demon Points he harvested in Azure Wolf Ridge had already exceeded the total of all his previous accumulations.

Then I checked the Tyrant Saber Art Technique.

The core of this Hua Jin sword technique lies in the word "domineering." The sword strikes are domineering, not seeking speed, but only aiming to inflict damage.

Upon reaching perfection, one can master the ultimate skill Tyrant Saber Slash, whose power is enough to injure even Grandmaster.

It shares similarities with the Nine Layered Wave Slashes, but takes a completely different approach.

The Nine Layered Wave Slashes relies on the layering of Saber Force, while the Tyrant Saber Slash is a powerful burst of energy that can decide the fate of the world in one strike.

However, Lu Feng doesn't plan to learn it for the time being.

The most critical bottleneck right now is not the lack of attack methods, but rather cultivation level.

"System, use all Demon Points to upgrade the Five Elements Primordial Chaos Art."

[Ding! Consuming 771,000 Demon Points, the Five Elements Primordial Chaos Art can be upgraded to 77.1%. Confirm upgrade?]

"Confirm."

As soon as he finished speaking, a surge of pure and powerful Nei Jin suddenly erupted from deep within his dantian.

The Nei Jin was extremely surging, originating from his dantian and rushing wildly into his limbs and bones along his meridians.

The heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys—the five internal organs—simultaneously emitted faint five-colored lights.

The five elements begin to circulate and generate each other among the internal organs, and each cycle pushes the thickness of Nei Jin to a new level.

The barrier of the Mid Hua Jin was instantly broken through.

The energy continued to surge upwards.

Then it kept rising until it steadily reached the peak of the Hua Jin Perfection before finally calming down.

Lu Feng slowly opened his eyes, feeling the surging Nei Jin within his body, which had increased at least tenfold.

The same move, when Hua Jin Perfection, is incomparably more powerful.
