Demon King Jiu Feng

"That old bastard really did something to my head!"

Riding the white horse he had exchanged with the Venerable White Bone, Zhang Xuezhou ran very fast.

Anyone can become very experienced at doing the same repetitive tasks after a few years.

When it comes to running away, Zhang Xuezhou considers himself a professional.

After dealing with the group of people who congratulated Hongku, Hongku went down the mountain to take care of some business for about half a day. Once he finished his business, he naturally had to leave.

However, after Zhang Xuezhou left the Yedie River Holy Land by dozens of miles, he tried to rub his face vigorously but could not remove the disguise powder. Instead, he rubbed his face until it hurt.

The wig seemed to have taken root on his head, or as if it had been coated with countless amounts of glue, fixing his head firmly in place.

No amount of assurance can outweigh the facts. Zhang Xuezhou felt that he had recently gained some benefits through his 'ability,' but he had also suffered just as many misfortunes.

This made him look around suspiciously.

The area of Xiong State is lush with water and grass, and the grassland is a sea of green, making it difficult to discern anything else.

After pondering for a few seconds, Zhang Xuezhou had no choice but to urge the White Bone Technique Method horse to gallop.

It has to be said that this is the most obedient and worry-free horse Zhang Xuezhou has ever ridden. It doesn't need to be fed grass or water, and it doesn't sweat. It runs like the wind, just like a top-class demon horse. It will even jump off a cliff if it is guided by his Law Power.

Based on the speed of these horses, Zhang Xuezhou felt that he could reach Yanmen Pass in two to three days if he traveled day and night.

"Oh right, I seem to have overlooked something!"

As he ran, Zhang Xuezhou realized there were still some changes he hadn't considered.

It wasn't until it got dark that he remembered that he hadn't taken any Grain Avoidance pills before falling asleep, and that he hadn't eaten anything after waking up. He even spent half a day preaching the Dharma and riding his Technique Method horse for half a day.

"My Grain Avoidance technique seems to have gone beyond mere proficiency!"

Having achieved minor success in the Grain Avoidance Technique at the True Spirit Realm, Zhang Xuezhou was able to go without food for three days.

Entering the Consciousness Creation Realm allows one to Grain Avoidance the art of fasting, which can extend to seven days of abstinence.

Being able to go hungry for seven days does not mean you are full of energy and vitality; your physical strength will still decline and you will need to eat to recover.

Zhang Xuezhou had previously used a combination of Grain Avoidance techniques and Grain Avoidance powder to survive for seven days, but he was still so hungry that he was physically weak and needed to eat quickly to replenish his energy and recover his strength.

But after those seven days, he did not experience hunger or lack of energy.

Zhang Xuezhou even felt that his physical strength was still relatively intact, similar to what he would feel after a normal day.

"The initial effects of Divine Ability Consciousness Creation Realm are beginning to emerge, causing certain Technique Method to exhibit unusual behaviors. Could it be that my spell points are focused on the Grain Avoidance) technique?!"

Zhang Xuezhou pondered the differences brought about by the Consciousness Creation Realm, and also considered the Yang Soul Incarnation within his body, but was unsure which factor was affecting the Grain Avoidance Technique.

But he is now undoubtedly able to endure hunger.

This kind of hunger even made it difficult for Zhang Xuezhou to know how far the limit was.

This allowed him to take a deep breath, and as he activated the Grain Avoidance technique, many acupoints in his body were quickly opened.

What were once interconnected acupoints that were blocked by Spiritual Qi have now become a wide passageway.

With each breath, Zhang Xuezhou's Grain Avoidance technique began to function normally.

He took a deep breath and felt as if his mouth was filled with water.

"This connects so many acupoints!"

The points where the acupoints connect form channels, linking numerous acupoints within them. Zhang Xuezhou couldn't count them all at once. Even his Yang Soul Dharma Body was simultaneously practicing the Grain Avoidance technique, and the overlapping sensations caused him a chaotic feeling.

"Once we find a safe place, I need to work on my Grain Avoidance techniques!"

Zhang Xuezhou thought to himself, and then a sense of foreboding arose in his mind.

He quickly looked up and felt as if the night sky was filled with the malice of the wind and waves.

This sent chills down his spine, and the white horse tucked between his legs jumped up suddenly.

"Laugh!"

A feather as long as an arm flew past him, its piercing sound echoing as it pierced the ground. Zhang Xuezhou was horrified.

"Hongku, I've long heard of your physiognomy skills, which allow you to foresee and avoid Technique Method. Seeing it today, I can confirm it!"

The sound fell from the night sky, causing Zhang Xuezhou to shout as he spurred his horse.

"Good sir, you've mistaken me for someone else. I am not Hongku!"

"Absurd! You're riding a Technique Method horse you obtained from the Venerable White Bone, how could it not be Hongku? That's exactly what I received—the intelligence to hunt down a cultivator named Hongku riding a white Technique Method horse!"

Feathers flew down again, and Zhang Xuezhou had no choice but to urge the White Bone horse to leap up once more.

Perhaps it was the effect of his practice of the Wind Avoidance Technique, or perhaps it was the ability to dodge gunfire that he had practiced in real life, but Zhang Xuezhou had a certain sense of this ability to fly at a certain distance.

This attack was extremely stealthy and swift, making it difficult for him to dodge using his physical strength, but it was no problem while on horseback.

This Technique Method horse seemed to be an extension of his body; if one focused their mind on galloping on the horse, they could almost feel the four horse legs growing out of their own body.

Zhang Xuezhou Technique Method him to dodge attacks with remarkable ease.

He spurred his horse and leaped several times, leaving ten long feathers embedded in the hard ground behind him.

"Oh dear, they're so difficult to deal with! And the reward is too low!"

A fierce eagle's cry echoed through the night sky. Zhang Xuezhou glanced at the long, thick feathers and knew that this was the feathered archery technique that Ling Yu had learned.

This technique involves infusing Demon Power into the feathers on the body to create feathered arrows. Since avian demons possess extremely high mobility, this technique has become the best and most suitable for them.

Combined with certain demonic abilities such as night vision, the art of archery is exceptionally effective at sniping at night.

Just thinking about the sheer number of feathers on the flying demon's body made Zhang Xuezhou realize that tonight would be difficult to endure.

And he needs to change horses.

The Venerable White Bone was right; a white horse is suitable for riding during the day, while a black horse is suitable for riding at night.

This is not just about the camouflage provided by the color of the Technique Method horse; different horses have different vitality at different times, and thus exert different powers.

The white horse was clearly less agile than the black horse at night, and its running speed was also inferior. It also lacked the night vision provided by the Ghost Fire Eye, making it difficult for Zhang Xuezhou to see his surroundings clearly.

If this weren't a grassland area, he would have already jumped into a ditch if he had kept jumping around like that.

"Hero, I just came from the Xieluosi River Holy Land. Lord Feiyu and I are good friends, and the demon kings Yangli, Huli, Demon King Luli are all my brothers. Who are you? Don't attack our own people!"

Zhang Xuezhou shouted, which slightly slowed down the attack using arrows from high in the air.

"It's not that you have no connections, how come you suddenly have so many connections? This is practically setting me up, but I... I accepted the mission, I can't tarnish my reputation!"

A low curse came, and more feathered arrows fell.

"Could you be one of the demon kings of the Nine Spirits Holy Land? I just met your Nine Spirits Primordial Saint Ancestor two days ago. Don't attack the wrong person!"

Zhang Xuezhou shouted again.

This caused a 'pui' sound to echo in the night sky.

"Where did you get this 'connection' from? Have you really met our boss?"

In the night sky, the golden eagle, resembling a miniature Airbus, swiftly spread its body and swooped down, allowing Zhang Xuezhou to see a black figure standing on its back, wielding two swords. The figure did not seem to have fully transformed into human form, with a pair of wolf ears still sticking out and a tail sweeping back and forth behind it.

"Are you the Nine Winds Demon King?"

Zhang Xuezhou hesitated for half a second, then shouted.

Zhang Xuezhou only knew one wolf demon by name, Jiu Feng, which made him gasp.

The golden eagle swayed slightly, then leaped to the ground with its twin swords in hand, before quickly running away.

"You still recognized me even though I was dressed so conservatively?"

The Nine Wind Demon King was surprised that he could be recognized even though he was wrapped in black cloth for the assassination.

He shook his head, and his two erect wolf ears drooped down.

"Since you recognize me, I can't let you stay. Otherwise, rumors will spread that I, Jiufeng, am a demon who takes on shady jobs, and I'll be in big trouble!"

The Nine Wind Demon King muttered a few words to himself, then looked at Zhang Xuezhou, who was galloping away on horseback.

"Explain your relationship with our boss clearly, or I'll kill you with this one blow!"
