235: Chapter 235 The Summit of Daohu Mountain

A thick, earthy-yellow light shield instantly appeared in front of the two, perfectly blocking the second fireball blasted out by Wang Sheng!

Boom!

The fireball burst upon the light shield, and the violent energy shockwave caused the shield to shake intensely, covering it in spiderweb-like cracks, but ultimately, it did not shatter.

Damn it!

Wang Sheng cursed angrily, not expecting these two to react so quickly!

Just as Tianxin blocked the attack, Gao Feng moved!

He did not choose to flee, nor did he choose to defend; instead, with an indomitable and resolute Aura, he charged straight at Wu He, who had just climbed up from the ground!

Capture the ringleader first!

No, it was to first eliminate the weakest and most insidious link of the opponent!

You're courting death!

Seeing that Gao Feng dared to actively attack him, a flash of malice crossed Wu He's eyes. He endured the sharp pain in his chest and once again pulled several poison needles from his pouch, preparing to repeat his old trick.

However, this time, Gao Feng did not give him any chance at all!

Roar!

A low roar, suppressed for a long time and sounding like a Dragon's cry, suddenly erupted from the depths of Gao Feng's throat!

The vast power within his body, which had been suppressed for a long time and belonged to the Human Immortal Realm, was forcibly mobilized by him at this moment!

Although due to the duel, he could only exert less than thirty percent of his power, this power was still devastating to a mere Third Layer of Qi Refining Cultivator!

One could see a faint layer of golden halo appearing on the surface of Gao Feng's body, and his speed and power surged several times over in an instant!

He was like a cannonball fired from a chamber, instantly crossing a distance of over ten meters and appearing in front of Wu He!

The sinister smile on Wu He's face was instantly replaced by endless fear!

He only saw a fist wrapped in a faint golden halo, rapidly enlarging in his pupils!

No—!

He only had time to let out a desperate roar.

Crack!

A tooth-aching sound of bones shattering rang out!

Gao Feng's punch, containing terrifying power, landed solidly on Wu He's chest!

Wu He's chest deeply caved in at a visible angle, and who knew how many ribs in his chest were broken!

He was like a person hit by a speeding truck, flying backward again, slamming heavily against the distant cliff wall, sliding down, and falling completely unconscious, his life or death unknown.

One punch!

With just one punch, he had heavily injured a Third Layer of Qi Refining Cultivator!

This sudden scene caused Wang Sheng and Zhou Qingqing, who were preparing to step forward and surround them, to abruptly stop in their tracks, their faces filled with shock and disbelief!

This... is this really the power that a Qi Refining Level One "trash" could possess?!

His terrifying Physical Body strength is probably comparable to even a Late Stage Body Cultivator, isn't it?!

Big Brother, this kid is strange!

There was a hint of trembling in Zhou Qingqing's voice.

Wang Sheng's expression was also uncertain. He stared fixedly at Gao Feng, whose breath had become somewhat chaotic after landing that punch, his heart filled with wariness.

The sneak attack had failed, and Wu He had been heavily injured; they had already lost the best opportunity to strike.

More importantly, the huge commotion just now would inevitably attract powerful Yao Beasts from nearby!

If they continued to stalemate, even if they could kill these two people, they would likely lose a layer of skin themselves, or even be wiped out by the Yao Beasts that came to investigate!

After weighing the pros and cons, a flash of unwillingness and determination crossed Wang Sheng's eyes.

Let's go!

He gave a decisive low shout, no longer having any desire to fight, turned around, and fled into the depths of the dense forest.

Zhou Qingqing also followed without hesitation, not even bothering to glance at the unconscious Wu He.

In the face of absolute danger, so-called "companions" were merely pawns that could be discarded at any time.

Next time we meet, I will definitely take your dog lives!

Wang Sheng's harsh words, filled with malice and unwillingness, came from the distant dense forest and soon disappeared.

Watching those two fleeing backs, Gao Feng did not choose to pursue.

He slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air. Forcibly mobilizing the Human Immortal power just now had caused a significant burden on his body, and at this moment, he felt waves of weakness, his Spiritual Qi consumption being immense.

Gao Feng, are... are you okay?

Tianxin hurriedly ran forward and held him up with a worried face.

She looked at Gao Feng, her bright eyes filled with shock and curiosity.

She could never have imagined that this "companion," who had always behaved in a simple and honest manner with mediocre strength, actually hid such terrifying power!

I'm fine, just a bit exhausted.

Gao Feng shook his head, glanced at the unconscious Wu He, then looked at the messy battlefield around them, and said in a deep voice, "This place is not suitable for a long stay; we must leave immediately!"

Mm!

Tianxin also knew the seriousness of the matter. She looked at the few remaining Talismans in her hand, and a hint of solemnity appeared on her face.

The two dared not delay at all; they packed up briefly, then quickly changed their original route, heading in the opposite direction from Wang Sheng's team, and disappeared into the vast night.

The night was as dark as ink, and the mountain wind howled.

Gao Feng and Tianxin traveled rapidly all the way, and only after confirming they had completely shaken off any possible pursuit by Wang Sheng and the others did they stop beside a hidden stream.

Phew... finally safe.

Tianxin sat down on the ground, panting heavily, her pretty face looking somewhat pale due to excessive consumption of Spiritual Qi.

Gao Feng's condition was similarly poor; forcibly stimulating the power that had been under a Restriction made his Meridians feel waves of stinging pain, and his face was also somewhat pale.

He did not rest, but immediately took out a blood pattern fruit from his bosom and handed it to Tianxin: "Eat it quickly to replenish your Spiritual Qi."

Then what about you?

Tianxin looked at Gao Feng and asked with some worry.

I'm fine, my Physical Body is strong, I can handle it.

Gao Feng shook his head, signaling her not to worry.

Tianxin no longer acted coy; she took the blood pattern fruit and ate it in small bites. The fruit, containing faint Spiritual Qi, went down and turned into a warm current, rapidly replenishing her nearly dried-up Dantian.

Gao Feng walked to the stream, scooped up a handful of cool stream water to wash his face, and kept himself awake. At the same time, with a thought, a trace of imperceptible spirit spring water quietly merged into his body, rapidly repairing his damaged Meridians and restoring his consumed power.

Gao Feng, who... who exactly are you?

Tianxin asked curiously while recovering, "That punch of yours just now was too powerful! It was even more fierce than Wang Sheng, who is at the Qi Refining Fourth Layer!"

In her bright eyes, light like stars flickered, full of inquiry and admiration.

I've said it before, I'm just born with a bit more strength.

Gao Feng stuck to his story; he didn't want to expose too many secrets about himself, even if the other party was a temporary ally.

Seeing that he was unwilling to say more, Tianxin sensibly did not pursue the question further, just pouted her lips and thought to herself: "I don't believe it! Big strength can beat a Third Layer of Qi Refining Cultivator half to death with one punch? Liar!"

After a brief rest, both of their states had recovered quite a bit.

What do we do now?

Tianxin asked, "Wang Sheng and the others definitely won't let it go. Dao Hu Mountain is so big; if we run into them again, it will be troublesome."

Therefore, we must find enough blood pattern fruits as soon as possible, then find a place to hide until the trial ends,

Gao Feng said in a deep voice, a flash of insight in his eyes, "Moreover, we cannot continue searching aimlessly like before; we must find the main growing area of the blood pattern fruits!"

Main growing area?

Tianxin was stunned for a moment, then her eyes lit up as if she had thought of something, "That's right! How could I have forgotten this!"

She hurriedly took out a palm-sized yellow Talisman paper with a strange compass pattern drawn on it from her Talisman bag.

This is a 'Spirit Seeking Talisman'; I prepared it specially before I came. It can sense the place with the most concentrated Spiritual Qi nearby!

Tianxin proudly waved the Talisman in her hand, "The place where blood pattern fruits grow must have more concentrated Spiritual Qi than other places! As long as we follow it, we will definitely be able to find it!"

Good!

A hint of joy also appeared in Gao Feng's eyes. With this thing, it was like having a navigation system; they didn't have to run around like headless flies anymore.

Tianxin injected a trace of Spiritual Qi into the Spirit Seeking Talisman, and the compass needle on the Talisman paper immediately began to rotate slowly, finally pointing in the direction of the highest peak of Dao Hu Mountain.

It's over there!

Tianxin pointed at the mountain peak that lay dormant in the night like a giant beast and said excitedly.

The summit of Dao Hu Mountain...

Gao Feng looked up, his eyes becoming serious.

The more concentrated the Spiritual Qi, the more dangerous it usually is. The Yao Beast that could occupy such a place was definitely not an ordinary one.

But things had reached this point; they had no way back.

The two did not hesitate anymore; they immediately identified the direction and set off overnight towards the main peak.

After a night of trekking, when the horizon turned a fish-belly white, Gao Feng and Tianxin finally arrived at the foot of the main peak of Dao Hu Mountain.

The closer they got to the summit, the more concentrated the fire-attribute Spiritual Qi in the air became, and the temperature also rose significantly; the surrounding vegetation had mostly turned into drought-resistant, fire-red plants.

The two carefully concealed their Auras, climbed up a cliff with an open view, and looked towards the direction of the summit.

They saw that on the summit, there was surprisingly a huge, crater-like flat land. In the center of the flat land, there was a huge, pitch-black cave, and the entrance of the cave was constantly emitting rolling heat waves.

And around the cave, a large patch of blood pattern fruit trees was growing densely! A rough count showed at least a hundred of them, covered in ripe fruits, which, under the illumination of the morning light, looked like countless burning rubies, emitting an alluring luster.

My goodness! So many blood pattern fruits!

Seeing this scene, Tianxin couldn't help but let out a low exclamation, her eyes turning into heart shapes.

However, Gao Feng's gaze was locked tightly on a behemoth sleeping outside the cave.

It was a giant rhinoceros the size of a small elephant!
