EPISODE 9
Peak of the Second Rank
“Make your move.”
Zhao Kun felt like he had heard wrong, was this the same Zhao Feng as before?
Yi!
The moment his vision landed on Zhao Feng, his expressed changed. “No wonder you’re so confident…. It looks like you’ve broken through to the second rank of the Martial Path…. However, if that’s all you’ve got, then you’d better start begging for forgiveness now.”
Zhao Kun felt a little surprised by Zhao Feng’s 2nd rank of the Martial Path, but it didn’t affect his plans.
That was because Zhao Feng had reached the 2nd rank not long ago, and Zhao Kun himself had reached the peak of the 2nd rank a year or two ago.
He also had high ranked martial art skills.
“Please stop chattering, my time is limited.”
Zhao Feng coldly said.
“Kid! Don’t be arrogant!”
Zhao Kun suddenly turned his four limbs and body into a weird stance, and like a poisonous snake, bit towards Zhao Feng.
In a flash, Zhao Kun’s used his Thirteen Changes of the Poisonous Snake . In terms of speed and power, it far exceeded that of Zhao Feng
“Zhao Kun has probably already trained the Thirteen Changes of the Poisonous Snake to a low level.”
On the archery field, Zhao Yufei had a moved and slightly shocked face.
Being one of the sects’ genius, she obviously had major support from the sect and so, naturally, had access to high rank martial art skills.
The higher the rank of a skill was, the harder it was to train in it.
Once a high rank skill had been trained to the low level, the power would be stronger than when one trained a middle ranked skill to a high level.
“What speed! The damage is at least 50% higher than before!”
Zhao Feng was also surprised by Zhao Kun, but his left eye’s reaction speed could still see the route of Zhao Kun’s move.
“Angry Dragon flipping the River!”
Zhao Feng shouted aloud and stomped both feet downwards. Under the Air Pushing Breathing Technique, he put his power into both of his arms.
Zhao Kun suddenly realised that the opponents power was rapidly increased.
And then he became more shocked as Zhao Feng put even more power into “Angry Dragon flipping the River”.
The 3rd stance of Angry Dragon Fists – Angry Dragon flipping the Rivers!
At that moment, Zhao Feng was like a dragon as his fists punched downwards.
Peh!
The first punch made Zhao Kun’s body shudder and almost caused him to spit out blood.
His Thirteen Changes of the Poisonous Snake was about cunningness and flexibility. It’s forte wasn’t in fighting straight on.
Zhao Feng’s fists however felt like they knew where he was going to move and always hit his weak spots.
Peh peh peh ——
Using Air Pushing Breathing Technique, Zhao Feng had already trained “Angry Dragon flipping the River” to a high degree.
“Ahhhhh……….”
Zhao Kun was hit by the outstanding power and landed on the ground, kneeling. His arms felt numb and blood was leaking from his mouth.
“You’ve lost.”
Zhao Feng exited the fighting ring.
As they fought, Zhao Feng had used his left eye and clearly saw Zhao Kun’s attacking routes. He had also seen some errors in Zhao Kun’s high rank martial art, which meant that it was yet to be perfected.
Zhao Feng felt that Angry Dragon Fists and Air Pushing Breathing Technique co-ordinated together to an unimaginable degree, it could already beat some 3rd rank people.
“How is this possible….. My skill is a high ranked one!”
Zhao Kun crawled on the ground and screamed.
The whole fight only lasted for two breaths.
One move!
Zhao Kun lost!
The disciples in the archery field looked on in shock.
Although they had the same rank, to win in one move was too exaggerating, especially when the loser had used a high rank skill.
As she sent Zhao Feng away with her eyes, Zhao Yufei murmured: “I knowAngry Dragon Fists, it’s a powerful move within the sect and could be comparable to high ranked skills, but it is very hard to learn. I think he also trains in another skill and use it with Angry Dragon Fists, which allowed the power to almost double.”
“Sister Yufei, how did Zhao Kun lose when his cultivation and skill were both higher?”
A girl next to her asked.
“Moves are dead, but people are alive. Zhao Kun’s use of the Thirteen Changes of the Poisonous Snake was extremely bad and he has only learned the first three moves, which is far off from his older brother “Zhao Gan”. Also, his battle consciousness is nowhere near that of Zhao Feng’s.” Zhao Yufei then paused for a bit before she said: “Also, Zhao Feng has learned two skill that are very close to being high ranked ones, and trained them to a very high level. Under the usage of these two skills, his strength exceeded that of Zhao Kun.”
After the girl listened to Zhao Yu Fei’s analysis, she exclaimed: “Zhao Feng is so strong!”
“Haha… apparently Zhao Kun’s brother “Zhao Gan” is ranked 5th amongst the outer disciples. We just do not know if he will help his brother take revenge.”
“So much trouble!”
Zhao Feng shook his head and left the martial arts field, later on he arrived at an open forest in the sect.
He came here to train in the most mysterious footwork skill – Lightly Floating Ferry.
Lightly Floating Ferry was, without a doubt, the skill with the highest rank amongst those he had. The problem was that it was partially ruined and was very hard to learn.
“When Angry Dragon Fists and Air Pushing Breathing Technique are used together the damage is awesome. I just do not know how Lightly Floating Ferry will be.”
Zhao Feng was full of expectations.
The same day, he started to ponder about Lightly Floating Ferry.
When he concentrated, the faint green glow inside his left eye’s pitch black dimension spun faster and faster.
Zhao Feng felt that although some of Lightly Floating Ferry’s moves were burned into his mind, which made it easier for him to understand, it was not as simple to learn as Angry Dragon Fists or Air Pushing Breathing Technique.
“Lightly Floating Ferry is harder to learn than a peak middle ranked skill by at least two to three times….”
This was the conclusion given after he compared the skills.
Although it was hard, it did not stump him.
Zhao Feng only used 2-3 days to understand the first ¼ of of Light Floating Ferry at a beginner standard.
He only used 6 days to achieve the “beginning level”.
Normal skills had 4 ranks that depended on how well trained one was in it.
These were: Beginner, Low, High and Peak level.
Beginner level equaled 30% of the max skill
Low level equaled 50%.
High level equaled 70%.
Peak level equaled 90% or higher.
Like Angry Dragon Fists, Zhao Feng easily trained it to High level.
Lightly Floating Ferry had also been trained to beginner level in the same amount of time, but it was only the first ¼ of the skill.
Sou!
Zhao Feng’s body flashed, his body as light as a bird as he floated 4-5 metres on air.
Teng! Teng!
His feet pushed off the branches and felt fabulous as he flew.
At that moment, Zhao Feng was like a bird that happily flew through the forest.
“I have only trained Lightly Floating Ferry to the beginner level, but the speed of it far surpasses most middle ranked skills that have been trained to a high level.”
It could be seen that Lightly Floating Ferry far exceeded most high ranked martial art skills.
When there was extra time, Zhao Feng did not forget to slowly decipher the rest of the book. Now he had deciphered one-third of the last ¾. (Aka, another quarter of it)
The only problem was that it took a lot of mental energy to do so.
This meant that ½ of Lightly Floating Ferry could now be learned.
After Lightly Floating Ferry reached a beginner level, Zhao Feng started to train in Angry Dragon Fists and Air Pushing Breathing Technique again.
This was because, although Lightly Floating Ferry was a high rank martial art skill, it only helped with his footwork and didn’t increase his cultivation much.
After training in a high rank skill such as Lightly Floating Ferry and then going back to training Angry Dragon Fists and Air Pushing Breathing Technique, Zhao Feng felt that it had become easier and smoother.
After two days.
Air Pushing Breathing Technique had broken through to the 3rd level.
Angry Dragon Fists had reached the peak level.
At this time, Zhao Feng closed his eyes and felt the power that coursed through his body. His strength was stronger than when he first reached the 2nd rank by more than 50%.
Inside his left eye’s dimension, the faint green glow radius had extended from 67cm to 98cm.
“It looks like my cultivation has reached the peak of the 2nd rank. I just need one more step to breakthrough into the third rank.”
Zhao Feng took a deep breath and controlled his excitement.
It had only been half a month since he reached the 2nd rank.
This cultivation speed was just too surprising!
The thing that made him most surprised was that the Air Pushing Breathing Technique as it reached the 3rd level.
Once Air Pushing Breathing Technique reached the peak of the 3rd level there was a chance to understand Martial Path Inner Strength and that was the key point for becoming a true martial artist.
Zhao Feng never thought that he would reach the 3rd level of Air Pushing Breathing Technique this fast.
This made his strength far surpass the others who were also at the 2nd rank. He could now be compared to a 3rd rank!
By only using half a month, Zhao Feng’s strength had doubled.
All of this was due to the mysterious eye.
Zhao Feng believed that his once normal destiny was changing…..
That night, Zhao Feng started to set his life goals.
His first goal was to perform well at the family sparring contest one and a half month later.
At that time he would fairly and squarely beat Zhao Yijian and spar with the true genius’ of Sun Feather City.
“The change in my left eye allows for me to have a high level of understanding, and the only thing stopping me from becoming a genius in the sect is…… cultivation resources.”
Zhao Feng analysed.
Since he merged with his left eye, his mental energy and analysis speed had increased. He also became more calm.
The only problem was, how to
EPISODE 10
Sky Cloud Forest
Night.
Inside a fancy building at the Zhao Sect.
“Elder brother! You’ve got to help me! Zhao Feng made me lose face and he is just a lowly branch disciple!”
Zhao Kun bit his teeth and said with murderous intent.
He had lost twice in a row to a branch disciple, he did not have the face to leave his house.
“Trash!”
Inside the room sat a slim, leopard like, short-haired youth.
This was Zhao Kun’s older brother, Zhao Gan.
“Elder brother, I am begging you. You have got to help me.”
Zhao Kun was full of fear and hatred.
He was afraid of his brother.
Ever since he was born, Zhao Gan had bullied him.
He felt useless as Zhao Gan was always better than him at everything.
Zhao Gan had now reached the peak of the 3rd rank of the Martial Path and had already trained the Thirteen Changes of the Poisonous Snake to the 6th change, which allowed for him to rank top 5 out of the outer sect disciples.
Even three or five of Zhao Kun weren’t his brother’s opponent.
…….
The morning of the second day.
Zhao Feng got out of bed early and started to practice Angry Dragon Fists and Air Pushing Breathing Technique.
These two martial art skills were the ones that Zhao Feng mainly trained in.
“I still have some way until I reach the 3rd rank of the Martial Path.”
Zhao Feng practiced for half an hour and acted on yesterday’s “plans”, walking towards the money room of the sect.
According to the rules, Zhao Feng could get ten pieces of silver per month.
“I haven’t taken this month’s money yet.”
Zhao Feng soon arrived at the money room.
“Zhao Feng, second rank of the Martial Path, branch disciple, monthly money of twenty silver.”
The accountant said expressionlessly.
Twenty pieces of silver?
Zhao Feng took over the money and exchanged his thanks.
After reaching the second rank, his monthly allowance had doubled.
Although a monthly allowance of twenty silver could let a whole family eat and sleep without worrying, it was nothing for martial artists.
Some expensive cultivation resources that could increase one’s cultivation speed and help breakthrough realms easily exceeded thousands of pieces of silver.
Any of the resources rich disciples ate casually exceeded thirty years of normal disciples’ allowances.
“Twenty pieces of silver…..”
Zhao Feng took a deep breath and holding his silver, left the Zhao sects territory and headed towards the market of Sun Feather City.
He used to give the money he got to his parents to help them out.
This time however, he did not do that. Instead he took the silver and left.
Soon after, Zhao Feng stepped into Sun Feather’s City’s largest market.
A weapon’s shop in the city.
“Shopkeeper, how much is this “Heavy Metal Bow”?”
Zhao Feng finally decided after taking a long time.
“This Heavy Metal Bow is extremely powerful. It can shoot up to one hundred and fifty metres. Twenty pieces of silver, no bargaining.”
The shopkeeper said as he smiled.
He had seen the “Zhao sect” symbol on Zhao Feng’s clothes.
At Sun Feather City, the Zhao sect, Qiu sect, and the Xin sect were the three largest families and had total dominance within the city.
“Twenty pieces of silver?”
Zhao Feng crossed his eyebrow and deeply said, “Can it be a little cheaper?”
The shopkeeper smiled faintly: “Fine, I will give you the lowest price, eighteen pieces of silver.”
“Fifteen! I am low on money, but when I get more I will double the money and give it to you.”
Zhao Feng said with honesty.
“Fifteen pieces? That’s probably a bit low, there is almost no profit……”
The shopkeeper seemed to have a little difficulty, but maybe seeing the honesty in Zhao Feng’s eyes, he bit his lips: “Fine, hopefully you keep your promise because this shop is also under the Zhao sect’s territory.”
“Thank you.”
Zhao Feng said gratefully.
He never realised that this shop was under the Zhao sect.
Soon, Zhao Feng bought the bow at a price of fifteen silver and also bought some arrows and food.
Now, Zhao Feng had no money left.
“Hopefully it won’t fail….”
Zhao Feng murmured to himself and soon left Sun Feather City.
Teng!
As soon as he left Sun Feather City, Zhao Feng used Lightly Floating Ferry to move. His speed was even faster than most normal horses.
Two hours later, Zhao Feng finally arrived at his destination, the Sky Cloud Forest.
“Sky Cloud Forest” was the County of Cloud’s biggest forest. It’s area even spanned across over ten other countries.
Being the largest forest of the surrounding countries, “Sky Cloud Forest” had many dangerous wild beasts, and near the centre of it there were high level “deadly beasts”.
Deadly beasts were far stronger than wild beasts. They had been affected by spiritual energy, and had therefore slowly changed into powerful beings.
A few strong deadly beasts could easily destroy a village. Only true martial artists could fight them.
Zhao Feng came to the Sky Cloud Forest, obviously not to try finding deadly beasts as he still wanted to live.
His goal was simple, hunting to earn money!
Some strong wild beasts inside the Sky Cloud Forest had expensive furs and other materials.
E.g, a fully-grown bear could sell for two to three hundred silver.
However, a fully-grown bear’s strength far exceed normal second rankers. Only third rankers could win against it.
Obviously, Zhao Feng’s target wasn’t a bear or a large sized wild beast.
“Although large sized wild beasts are worth a lot of money, their mass is too big. I cannot carry many back and forth.”
Zhao Feng had already made his plans.
Teng!
His body was like a feather as he used the branches to propel himself forward.
Soon, Zhao Feng landed on top of a hundred meter tall tree.
This tree was higher than it’s surroundings, giving Zhao Feng dominant vision.
If he hadn’t learnt Lightly Floating Ferry then being at this height would make his heart beat rapidly.
As he stood on the tree, Zhao Feng used his left eye to survey his surroundings.
Shuah!
That moment, his left eye went into super-vision mode. Everything within five or six miles was clearly seen by him.
Zhao Feng first had to confirm whether there were any dangerous wild or deadly beasts around.
Soon Zhao Feng understood the situation within five to six miles.
There were twenty beasts that threatened him, and only one of them were close to him. Luckily, there weren’t any deadly beasts.
“I am starting now.”
Zhao Feng took a deep breath then slowly pulled out his heavy metal bow.
Shou—–
As the bow string trembled, the arrow hit a golden-spotted snake one hundred metres away.
Si!
The golden-spotted snake jumped up and spat out snake language in a fearsome manner.
However, Zhao Feng’s arrow skills were perfect, and directly hit its vitalities.
The golden-spotted snake thrashed slightly but soon died.
“Golden Striped Snake, super poisonous beasts that can threaten even third rankers.”
Zhao Feng slightly let out a breath and wiped his sweat.
If they were fighting straight on, the golden striped snake had a high chance of kill him as it was extremely fast and poisonous.”
However, Zhao Feng had also gained a lot.
The golden striped snake’s teeth and liver parts were extremely expensive.
After killing the “golden striped snake”, Zhao Feng used his left eye to find new targets.
Shou ———-
Suddenly, Zhao Feng heard a screech in mid air.
A metal-mouthed eagle, with a wingspan of one meter, easily killed a wolf that was of the second rank.
Zhao Feng had a solemn face. The metal-mouthed eagle was called “Metal Pecking Eagle”, and was extremely famous in the Sky Cloud Forest. Its strength easily exceeded that of normal second rankers and flew freely in the air. It almost had no natural enemies.
“Metal Pecking Eagles are extremely fast. Its feathers and defense are also strong. It is almost a deadly beast. One would be worth seven to eight hundred pieces of silver.”
Zhao Feng thought as he used his left eye to target the metal pecking eagle.
This time, he took out an arrow coated with poison.
Zhi~
The heavy metal bow was soon pulled to the max……

EPISODE 12
Green Headed Tiger King
Shoosh—–
An afterimage was left behind as the arrow pierced through the air, heading towards the “Metal Pecker Eagle” that was in midair. This arrow contained the Continuous Meteorite Arrows skill and followed the route set by his left eye.
“Screeeeech——-”
An angry screech was heard coming from the eagle. Zhao Feng then saw the eagle charge towards him, with the arrow still lodged in its stomach.
“Not good!”
Seeing this, Zhao Feng’s expression changed and he quickly used Lightly Floating Ferry to escape towards the hedges.
Although Zhao Feng’s arrow had hit the target, it did not hit any vital parts.
The Metal Pecker Eagle’s reaction, flying speed and defense all far surpassed that of normal beasts. It was on par with deadly beasts. So this arrow did not cause any life threatening damage.
Teng!
Zhao Feng was like an agile bird as he flew through the forest.
Nevertheless, his left eye did not forget to lock onto the the eagle.
Shou——-
Soon, another arrow was shot out. However, although this arrow hit the eagle in the throat, it did not manage to pierce through its feathers.
“The throat is usually the weakness of normal beasts. From the fact that it did not pierce through, it can be seen that the defense of this eagle is insane.”
Zhao Feng stalled for a little while and then saw the Metal Pecker Eagle fall towards the ground. This was because the arrows that Zhao Feng had shot contained poison, and now the poison had spread, killing the eagle.
Zhao Feng let out a deep breath and revealed happiness on his face. This Metal Pecker Eagle was worth seven to eight hundred silver.
Adding in the Golden Striped Snake, Zhao Feng’s wealth now exceeded over a thousand pieces of silver.
He had never come across such wealth in his entire life.
“However, the silver I have is still not enough for me to buy precious resources.”
Although Zhao Feng was excited, he quickly calmed down.
For the next three days, Zhao Feng’s body could be seen travelling around inside the Sky Cloud Forest.
Every time Zhao Feng pulled his bow, a scream of pain would soon follow.
“Five Poison Centipede, extremely poisonous. Can be used to make wine and strengthen one’s body. Worth two-hundred silver……..”
“Green Wind Bird, strength is around the peak of the third rank. Worth nine-hundred silver…..”
“Black-spotted Wild Pig, strength approaching the third rank. Worth four-hundred silver……”
To kill as many beasts as possible, Zhao Feng used Lightly Floating Ferry and Continuous Meteorite Arrows to the highest degree possible.
Through these efforts, Lightly Floating Ferry had been trained to the low level.
His speed probably exceeded all the sects third rankers and was now close to the fourth rankers.
Continuous Meteorite Arrows had easily been trained to the peak of the high level.
Zhao Feng could not help but think that he was a born archer.
If he were to face the Metal Pecker Eagle again, he would only needed one hit to kill it.
For the last three days, he had gained a lot. He had killed another two Metal Pecker Eagles, as well as seven to eight other different beasts.
“The beasts I now have are, in total, worth around three to four thousand silver.”
Zhao Feng had a satisfied expression on his face as he organised his two big bags.
On the way back he still used his left eye to hunt prey.
This was because his vision was blocked by trees so he could not guarantee that there weren’t any targets that he would miss.
Roar————
At this moment, a powerful roar came from the north side of Sky Cloud Forest. This roar made Zhao Feng ear’s burst with pain.
“What kind of beast is this? It’s so powerful.”
Zhao Feng quickly used his left eye and saw that, four or five miles away, there was a five metre long Green Headed Tiger.
The Green Headed Tiger was bigger than normal tigers by half its size and gave off a devastating aura. Its roar caused all the animals within a ten kilometre radius to tremble with fear.
Five or six youths, who had cultivations between the second and third rank of the Martial Path, were running away in fear.
“Everyone run in different directions!”
The leader of the group was a youth who had a scarred face. He seemed to be fifteen or sixteen years of age and had reached the peak of the third rank. He held a long sword that could easily cut a tree in half in order to stall the tiger.
Boom!
The tiger waved his paws and the tree shattered.
“The strength of deadly beasts is so dangerous.”
Zhao Feng thought.
Once a wild beast entered the ranks of a deadly beast, only martial artists of the fourth rank or higher could fight them.
The strength of the tiger king could flatten two or three Zhao Feng’s in one paw.
“Xin Fei! Watch out!” Some of the youths yelled.
The Green Headed Tiger King was heading straight towards the scarred face youth, who had the strongest strength.
“They’re surnamed Xin? Are they disciples of the Xin family, which is also one of the top three families of Sun Feather City?”
Zhao Feng then saw the symbols on their clothes which confirmed his guess.
Boom——
Everywhere the Green Headed Tiger King passed, destruction soon followed, as if nothing could withstand its might.
Normal martial learners would probably have died due to fear. Zhao Feng however realised that this “Xin Fei” was extremely strong. He had learned a knife throwing skill as well as a footwork skill and they were both high rank martial arts.
“This Xin Fei’s knife can easily slice through trees. His strength is probably double that of normal third rank cultivators. He is probably even stronger than Zhao Yijian.”
“Quickly! Save Xin Fei!”
Two other disciples of the Xin family took out their bows and attacked the Green Headed Tiger.
However, all their attacks did was stall and disperse the tiger’s concentration.
The tiger’s defense was stronger than the Metal Pecker Eagle’s by two or three time, so all the attacks that came from cultivators beneath the fourth rank only felt like a tickle.
“If I can kill this Green Headed Tiger King, it will probably be worth around twenty to thirty thousand silver, which is the worth of around forty beasts.”
Zhao Feng thought out a dangerous plan.
Teng! Teng! …..
He immediately used Lightly Floating Ferry and closed in towards the place of the incident. As Zhao Feng arrived, the six disciples of the Xin family were under great pressure.
“Cracking Wind Sword!”
Xin Fei eye’s flashed as he used his long sword to stab towards the forehead of the tiger.
What a dangerous sword!
Zhao Feng saw the entire process of the sword, it power could instantly kill two normal cultivators of the third rank. Not even he would be able to block it.
He also felt the faint green aura inside of Xin Fei’s body. This was the sign that Inner Strength would soon be formed.
Shuah——
The sword was able to cut half an inch into the Green Headed Tiger’s head, but the forced of it made Xin Fei vomit blood.
That sword’s strength came close to the damage dealt by a fourth ranker. It was even able to hurt a deadly beast!
Roar——
The Green Headed Tiger howled and then moved towards Xin Fei at an even greater speed.
Xin Fei had reached the peak of the third rank and, by using his high rank martial art skill, he dodged the attack.
However, his sword attack also used up a lot of energy, almost falling victim to the tiger’s counterattack.
“Cracking Wind Sword!”
Covered with blood, Xin Fei once again used the same move and left another bloody mark on the tiger’s forehead.
His body was once again sent flying.
Roar!
The green headed tiger king opened its jaws and leapt towards Xin Fei. The latter was exhausted and could not dodge.
“Xin Fei!”
The other disciples screamed, but just at this moment.
Sou—–
Suddenly, an arrows whipped through the air, straight through the branches and leaves, hitting the tiger.
Roar——–
The tiger mournfully howled. At that moment, every living thing trembled.
The Xin disciples looked on in a daze as one of its eyes had been shot by an arrow…..
Although the defense of the tiger was strong, its eyes were its weakest part.
Because the tiger turned around to find the “culprit” Xin Fei was able to escape.
However, as it surveyed its surrounding, where was the sign of the culprit?
“So close!”
Zhao Feng hid behind a towering, ancient tree, which was only one hundred metres away from the tiger.
As the tiger was trying to find the culprit, the Xin family disciples started to run.
However, since the tiger could not find its target, it started to attack in a more frenzied manner.
“Ahhhhhh………”
There was a scream as one of the youths of the second rank was ripped into shreds. This view made Zhao Feng, who wasn’t far away, feel cold.
Just as another of the Xin family disciples were in danger..
Sou———-
Another arrow came flying through the air, piercing towards the tiger’s other eye.
Roar!
The tiger roared and then closed its eyes, the arrow was barely able to scratch its eyelids.
“Ai…”
Zhao Feng sighed as he shook his head.
It wasn’t that his archery skills weren’t high enough, it was because the tiger was on guard, making it hard for the same trick to succeed again.
“Cracking Wind Sword!”
Using the short time gap, Xin Fei quickly powered another sword attack and hit the same spot as before.
“Good chance.”
Zhao Feng’s eyes flashed as he drew more arrows and fired them. Every time he shot an arrow, it would hit the injury on the tiger’s forehead.
Eventually, the tiger’s attack rate slowed down. Firstly, it was because it was severely injured. Secondly, there was poison in the arrows.
At this point, the tiger turned and ran towards the deep sections of Sky Cloud Forest.
“Follow!”
The Xin disciples bit their teeth and vowed to kill the tiger in order to avenge their peers.
Although the tiger was severely injured, its speed was not something that cultivators of the second and third rank could catch up to.
Only Xin Fei was barely able to catch up, but as he was exhausted he did not have much spare energy.
“Hahaha! What a good chance……. Where are you going to run?”
Zhao Feng laughed as he used Lightly Floating Ferry to easily catch up to the tiger.
In his eyes, the tiger represented an enormous wealth of twenty to thirty thousand silver……
