Chou Yuanceng looked at the formation in front of him. It was set up quite exquisitely. Its power was not great, but it connected the terrain under its feet and the surrounding vital energy.
If Chou Yuanceng was not injured, he would have been able to break this formation with a single slash. If that spirit saber had not been taken away by Chen Fei, Chou Yuanceng had the confidence to rely on the power of the spirit weapon to break the formation.
Unfortunately, all of this was not valid. His spirit weapon was not there, and he was heavily injured. Such a formation completely locked Chou Yuanceng in place, and he could not go anywhere.
Chou Yuanceng looked into the distance and revealed a sinister smile. They wanted to use such a simple method to lock him here?
Chou Yuanceng moved his right hand slightly, and a huge wound suddenly appeared on his left arm. Fresh blood flowed out from the wound, and soon, the ground under his feet was soaked.
The amount of blood in the human body was not endless. Once a person lost too much blood, it could cause their life to be in danger.
Even if a cultivator’s body had various abilities that surpassed ordinary people, and their blood-producing ability was also far superior to ordinary people, once they lost too much blood, they would still die.
However, the amount of blood flowing out of Chou Yuanceng’s arm had already exceeded the amount of blood a normal person should have. Besides his pale face, there were no other abnormal symptoms. It was as if the blood did not belong to him.
Chou Yuanceng looked at the blood under his feet. The blood was reflected in Chou Yuanceng’s pupils, making him look exceptionally demonic.
The Blood Origin Technique cultivated the power of fresh blood. This technique was evil and could even torture the cultivator. However, it was undeniable that this was indeed an extremely powerful cultivation technique.
Back then, Chou Yuanceng’s best friend was willing to let Chou Yuanceng cultivate with him after obtaining the Great Thunder Sword. However, Chou Yuanceng had no intention of changing his cultivation.
Chou Yuanceng’s blood was still flowing out. Slowly, the blood covered the formation patterns of the Dragon-Elephant Formation. The formation patterns flickered slightly, but the frequency of the flickering became a little strange.
Swallowing, assimilating, and finally turning it into his own. This was the effect of the blood.
As time passed, the Dragon-Elephant Formation began to turn blood-red, and it resonated with Chou Yuanceng’s breathing.
Chou Yuanceng’s eyes were fixed on the distance, wary of Chen Fei’s sudden return. As long as he sensed Chen Fei’s appearance, Chou Yuanceng would immediately retrieve the blood and restore the Dragon-Elephant Formation to normal.
“Buzz!”
A slight fluctuation rippled out from the Dragon-Elephant Formation, and Chou Yuanceng could no longer suppress the smile on his face.
The blood on Chou Yuanceng’s left arm stopped flowing. Instead, the blood on the ground started to glow and slowly entered Chou Yuanceng’s body.
Chou Yuanceng tried to stand up, but the Dragon-Elephant Formation’s power did not appear again. This formation was now completely in Chou Yuanceng’s hands.
Chou Yuanceng looked at his surroundings. His self-binding cultivation was still unable to recover, and his injuries were naturally the same. However, his tempered body could still be used.
As long as he covered his tracks well, Chou Yuanceng was confident that he could avoid Chen Fei’s pursuit.
As long as he escaped this pursuit, he could think of other ways to recover bit by bit, whether it was his injuries or his cultivation. It was much better than being held in the hands of others.
Chou Yuanceng stretched out his right leg and was about to exert force when a palpitation suddenly appeared in his sea of consciousness. It was as if this kick would cause Chou Yuanceng to lose his life.
Chou Yuanceng looked around in bewilderment until he saw a pair of eyes slowly appear in the distance.
“Squeak!”
The rat demon looked at Chou Yuanceng from afar and called out softly.
The rat demon was naturally left behind by Chen Fei to prevent Chou Yuanceng from playing any tricks. After all, the formation was dead and fixed, especially when no one was controlling it.
As for the rat demon, it was alive. Chou Yuanceng had been seriously injured and could not recover in a short period of time. Moreover, Chen Fei had pierced through fifteen acupoints on the spot.
Under such circumstances, the rat demon could completely control Chou Yuanceng and prevent any accidents from happening.
Chou Yuanceng sat on the ground dejectedly. If it was before he was injured, he wouldn’t care about a mere rat demon and could kill it casually.
But now, Chou Yuanceng really couldn’t do it. Perhaps the rat demon could kill him on the spot with a pounce.
“Hehe…Hahaha…”
Chou Yuanzeng initially started with a low chuckle, but in the end, it turned into a skyward howl. His expression was filled with deep-seated resentment. Even in this state, he couldn’t escape.
Chou Yuanzeng hated, but this hatred couldn’t change anything.
In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Chen Fei appeared. The rat demon jumped onto Chen Fei’s shoulder and gestured at him for a while, telling him what had happened just now.
Chen Fei’s brows twitched slightly. He did not expect that the cultivation technique that Chou Yuanceng had cultivated was actually so peculiar. At this level, there were actually other moves.
Chen Fei looked at Chou Yuanceng. A sword light flashed, and Chou Yuanceng’s right arm suddenly exploded into a bloody mist. Chou Yuanceng cried out in shock, his entire body rolling on the ground a few times before slowly coming to a stop.
“Next time, you can continue trying to escape!”
Chen Fei appeared in front of Chou Yuanceng, his eyes devoid of any emotion. If not for the fact that Chou Yuanceng was still of some use, Chen Fei would have already killed him.
“No. I won’t dare!” Chou Yuanceng raised his head and looked at Chen Fei. His eyes were filled with humility and begging for mercy, as if he had completely submitted.
But Chen Fei understood that this was just a disguise. The cultivation technique that Chou Yuanceng had cultivated had caused his personality to be filled with violence. It was impossible for such a person to submit to anyone.
“Where is your friend?” Chen Fei looked at Chou Yuanceng and said.
“Shang Wu City. He is there most of the time.” Chou Yuanceng hurriedly said.
“Shang Wu City!” Information about Shang Wu City flashed through Chen Fei’s mind. It was near Qinhai City. With his current speed, it would take him more than a day to get there.
Thinking of Qinhai City, Chen Fei couldn’t help but think of the Ruan Family. He wondered if Ruan Qiaojun had managed to control the Ruan Family in the past two years or if she had become a puppet in the end.
Chen Fei grabbed Chou Yuanceng, who was on the ground, and disappeared in a flash.
A few hours later, Chen Fei and him appeared in Apricot Fen City. As night fell, Chen Fei decided to spend the night here before continuing his journey. Chen Fei did not feel much fatigue himself. The Suppressing Dragon Elephant technique was enough to support this level of travel.
However, Chou Yuanceng could not take it anymore. After all, he was heavily injured and was being carried by Chen Fei. This kind of bumpy journey was far more uncomfortable than running by himself.
In the past, Chou Yuanceng had always been the one to talk about others like this. He had never thought that one day, he would be treated like this.
Apricot Fen City was still bustling under the night sky. Chen Fei sat in the restaurant and watched the people coming and going below.
The rebellion of the rebel army had lasted for several years, but it still did not calm down. Instead, it became more and more intense. Apricot Fen City was closer to the Immortal Cloud City, so it was not affected as much.
However, it was hard to say how long this peace could last.
Chou Yuanzeng sat silently across from Chen Fei, and after eating some food obediently, he stopped as if, having lost an arm, he had completely settled down.
Chen Fei picked up the wine cup in his hand and took a sip. Suddenly, his expression changed slightly as he looked into the distance. There, Chen Fei sensed an aura of the aperture tempering realm cultivator.
The aura of the aperture tempering realm cultivator was extremely condensed, unlike the aura of an early-stage aperture tempering state cultivator. It should be at the mid-stage aperture tempering realm cultivator or above.
Apricot Fen City didn’t have a permanent aperture tempering realm cultivator, and independent cultivators rarely set foot here because it was too close to Immortal Cloud City.
In the past, he would either go to the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect as a guest elder or stay far away. Otherwise, he might offend the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect at some point.
And now, the situation in the Immortal Cloud City was so complicated that no independent cultivator would loiter around here out of boredom.
The aura at the far end of the street was originally coming towards them. In just a moment, Chen Fei saw the appearance of that person clearly, and Chen Fei frowned.
Hong Yuanfeng!
Chen Fei had a deep impression of Hong Yuanfeng of the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect. Back then, he was almost sent to the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect because of a single sentence from Hong Yuanfeng.
Shen Dingyan, who was unreasonable and bullied Chen Fei, was Hong Yuanfeng’s disciple. Chen Fei had nowhere to run and killed Shen Dingyan, which made Hong Yuanfeng furious.
Hong Yuanfeng did not have any evidence to prove that Chen Fei had killed Shen Dingyan. After all, Chen Fei was only in the bone tempering realm back then, while Shen Dingyan was already in the marrow tempering realm.
No matter what, it was impossible for a disciple of the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect at the marrow tempering realm to be killed by a disciple of the Primordial Sword Sect at the bone tempering realm. However, Hong Yuanfeng still wanted the Primordial Sword Sect to bring Chen Fei to the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect for interrogation.
In the end, after a few parties fought, the Primordial Sword Sect gave the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect an explanation and let Chen Fei go to the Strange Wind Realm.
After so many years, Chen Fei never expected to meet Hong Yuanfeng in Apricot Fen City. This was the elder of the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect who could decide his life and death with a casual sentence.
When Chen Fei saw Hong Yuanfeng, Hong Yuanfeng also saw Chen Fei. Hong Yuanfeng’s eyes narrowed slightly.
Primordial Sword Sect’s new aperture tempering realm cultivator!
Hong Yuanfeng naturally remembered what happened that year because Shen Dingyan was his most beloved disciple. It was just that in the end, he was not seen alive, and his corpse was not seen when he died. He had disappeared without a trace.
Chen Fei’s punishment had long been settled. However, he did not expect that a mere bone tempering realm cultivator would actually not die in a place like the Mysterious Realm and even return alive.
As an aperture tempering realm cultivator, Hong Yuanfeng naturally couldn’t keep targeting a body refining realm disciple. However, he didn’t expect Chen Fei to grow all the way and break through to the aperture tempering realm in just a few years.
Such talent made Hong Yuanfeng suspect that Chen Fei was the one who killed Shen Dingyan.
Even though Chen Fei was only at the bone refining realm at that time, with his talent, this impossible had become possible.
However, this matter had happened too long ago. In the Immortal Cloud City, Hong Yuanfeng could not use this matter to make things difficult for them, and the Primordial Sword Sect could not give up on such a talented aperture tempering realm cultivator.
However, he did not expect to meet her in Apricot Fen City today!
How about finding an opportunity to kill him?
Hong Yuanfeng narrowed his eyes.. With his cultivation, it was easy for him to kill an aperture tempering realm primary stage cultivator!
