Origin Crystal Mine
Just then, a sharp Saber Force rose from the side.
Lu Feng's knife was already drawn.
He leaped into the air, raising the Six Harmonies Saber high above his head, its blade rippling with layers of sword energy.
Nine Layered Wave Slashes, unleashing full power.
First cut, second cut, third cut.
The Saber Force were like raging waves, each strike heavier than the last.
This time, Lu Feng did not suppress his cultivation level. He poured his Hua Jin Perfection Nei Jin into the blade without reservation, and the speed and intensity of the Saber Force were a level higher than when he dealt with Zhao Hu.
Liu Suifeng originally wanted to speak up to remind him that even though this fourth-tier wolf demon was seriously injured, its physical defense was far beyond what a Hua Jin could shake.
But before he could even utter a word, his expression changed.
"Huh? This move looks a lot like my Thirteen Startled Swan Swords..."
"Wait, this is Saber Force!"
Lu Feng's blade had already made its eighth strike.
A shallow cut was finally made in the silver giant wolf's fur, and silvery-white blood slowly seeped out.
However, the power of the eighth strike was not enough to cause a fatal wound.
The physical defense of a fourth-tier demon beast Ancestral Reversion is several times greater than before.
The ninth strike landed.
When this slash was made, a thin layer of silvery-white light film adhered to the blade, turning the original body of the Six Harmonies Saber silvery-white.
"Saber Force! How could someone as Hua Jin Perfection possibly master Saber Force?!"
For the first time, fear was reflected in the silver giant wolf's eyes.
With its last ounce of strength, it opened its jaws and met the blade with its fangs.
Blade clashed with fangs.
The fangs shattered, but the Saber Force continued its downward slash, penetrating the wolf's jaws and reaching its brain.
The massive body of the silver wolf crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust and fallen leaves.
[Ding! Successfully slayed a fourth-tier wolf demon, gaining 1,000,000 Demon Points;]
A system notification sounded.
One million Demon Points.
Lu Feng's lips curled up slightly, but he quickly suppressed it.
He planted the Six Harmonies Saber in the ground, braced his hands on the hilt, and gasped for breath, looking as if he had reached the limit of his strength.
Liu Suifeng quickly stepped forward, grabbed Lu Feng's arm, and took out a pill from his pocket, handing it to him.
The elixir was pure white and emitted a faint fragrance; it was clearly no ordinary product.
"Fellow Daoist, are you alright?"
"Thank you. I have my own elixirs."
Lu Feng did not take it, but took out a Origin Recovery Pill from his pocket and swallowed it.
The actual cost of using the Nine Layered Wave Slashes was far less than he had shown.
After Hua Jin Perfection, the thickness of the Nei Jin in the dantian increased more than tenfold, and even after using the Nine Layered Wave Slashes technique, it only consumed less than ten percent of it.
Not to mention that the Five Elements Primordial Chaos Art allows the energy to flow and generate between the five internal organs, so even without taking any pills, this amount of energy will be recovered on its own in no time.
However, he still pretended to have exhausted his Nei Jin, his face turned slightly pale, and his breathing became deliberately heavier.
"I never imagined that you, fellow Daoist, would possess such formidable strength at the Hua Jin Perfection Realm."
Seeing that his complexion had improved after taking the pill, Liu Suifeng felt relieved and cupped his hands in greeting, asking...
"My name is Liu Suifeng, a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect. May I ask your honorable name, friend?"
"Lu Feng of the Demon-Slaying Bureau!"
He had no reason to hide it.
The dark-colored suit he wore had the wolf head emblem of the Demon-Slaying Bureau embroidered on the chest, making it easily recognizable to anyone.
"Brother Lu, what's the name of that sword technique you just used? It's quite similar to my Thirteen Startled Swan Swords Clouds!"
Liu Suifeng changed his form of address naturally, his eyes full of curiosity.
"Nine Layered Wave Slashes!" Lu Feng answered truthfully.
Liu Suifeng nodded thoughtfully and then asked a few more questions about the details of cultivation.
Lu Feng answered each question in turn, neither enthusiastic nor indifferent.
Although the Heavenly Sword Sect disciple in front of me was powerful, he did not have the arrogance often seen in geniuses. Instead, he was quite frank and outgoing.
After exchanging only a few words, Liu Suifeng suddenly scratched his head, his expression becoming somewhat awkward, as if he wanted to say something but was too embarrassed to speak.
"I have something I'd like to discuss with Brother Lu. I wonder if Brother Lu would be willing to agree?"
"Brother Liu, please speak frankly."
Lu Feng was somewhat surprised to see him like this.
The person who just fought five wolf demons single-handedly without batting an eye is now feeling embarrassed.
"Could I have half of this fourth-tier giant wolf?"
As soon as Liu Suifeng finished speaking, he quickly waved his hand, his speech even faster.
"I know this is against the rules; you're the one who killed it."
"But my sect's mission for me this time is to hunt down a fourth-tier demonic beast. It would be really difficult to explain if I went back empty-handed..."
"Brother Liu, what are you saying?" Lu Feng interrupted him.
"If Brother Liu hadn't severely injured him first, let alone kill him, it's uncertain whether I would even survive."
"How about this, I only need some of your essence blood, the rest is all for Brother Liu."
Liu Suifeng was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened. "Really? You're not lying to me?"
Lu Feng nodded.
Without saying a word, Liu Suifeng drew his sword and walked towards the corpse of the silver giant wolf.
With the sword tip aimed at the wolf's head, he channeled his True Essence into the blade and slashed forcefully.
The hard wolf skull was cut open, and he took out a fist-sized object from the cranial cavity, which he held in his palm for Lu Feng to see.
The object was oval-shaped, silvery-white, with a faint sheen on its surface. Holding it in your hand, you could feel an extremely pure energy fluctuation.
"This is a demon core. It only condenses in the brains of demonic beasts of the fourth rank or higher. There's only one like this, so it's worth at least five Origin Crystal."
At this point, Liu Suifeng suddenly became wary and tucked the demon core into his robes.
"Let me make this clear first, this thing is mine now, and you can't go back on your word!"
Lu Feng found it somewhat amusing. "Don't worry, what's yours is yours."
After he finished speaking, he ignored Liu Suifeng and went straight to the giant wolf's corpse, taking out a jade bottle to collect its essence blood.
The essence blood of a fourth-tier demon beast is something that can only be used at the fourth level of the Hundred Beasts Body-Tempering Art.
Although we don't need it now, we'll need it sooner or later.
The essence and blood were drawn by the incantation, transforming into drops of dark silver blood that floated into the bottle.
Liu Suifeng stood aside, carefully putting away the demon core. Then he looked at the wolf demon corpses scattered on the ground and suddenly felt a little guilty.
"Brother Lu is indeed generous. How about this, the giant wolf's carcass and these four third-tier wolf demons are all yours."
This time, Lu Feng did not refuse.
Four Tier 3 wolf demons plus one Tier 4 wolf demon—the merit points alone would amount to a considerable sum.
He deftly put all the wolf demon corpses into his storage bag.
"What are your plans next, Brother Lu?" Liu Suifeng asked after seeing that he had finished packing.
"Continue to slay the demonic beasts."
"I never expected Brother Lu to be so righteous."
Liu Suifeng suddenly sighed, then seemed to have made up his mind.
"If I don't tell Brother Lu about this, I'll seem petty."
Lu Feng looked at him, puzzled.
"Brother Lu, do you know why a fourth-tier demonic beast has appeared here?"
This question surprised Lu Feng slightly.
Dozens of third-tier wolf demons inhabit the core area of Azure Wolf Ridge. Statistically speaking, it's not impossible for one of them to break through to the fourth tier.
Such things happen frequently in the territory of demon beasts; it's not unusual.
So he really didn't think about it too deeply.
"I would appreciate your guidance, Brother Liu."
"Mr. Liu suspects that there is Origin Crystal mine in this area."
A hint of surprise flashed in Lu Feng's eyes.
Origin Crystal Ore!
