52: Chapter 52 The Secret to Breaking Human Limits
Chasing to the backyard!
Lin Feng grabbed a guard and forced the location of the tunnel out of him.
Immediately, Lin Feng followed the tunnel, pursuing all the way until he exited Qingyun County.
However, at the other end of the tunnel, the traces of Patriarch Ye Hu and Steward Ye Xiao had long since vanished.
As far as the eye could see, there was only an endless expanse of mountains.
"Forget it. Since that old dog has already escaped, it won't be too late to kill him later!" Lin Feng muttered to himself.
Clearly, Steward Ye Xiao had already taken Patriarch Ye Hu and fled into the mountains ahead!
Trying to find the two of them there would undoubtedly be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Lin Feng couldn't be bothered to waste time, so he simply returned along the tunnel and went back to the Family.
The massive Family had a fortune; it couldn't be wasted.
At this moment, the entire Family was already in complete chaos.
Many maidservants and servants were taking advantage of the chaos, grabbing their masters' valuables and running away.
"Head Guard, come here!" Lin Feng beckoned to the guard he had previously captured.
This guy was the captain of the Inner Courtyard guards; his strength was not weak, having already stepped into the Middle Stage of the Spirit Gathering Realm!
However, he couldn't even survive a single move in Lin Feng's hands!
He had been defeated by a single punch from Lin Feng.
Before going into the tunnel to pursue Patriarch Ye Hu, Lin Feng had strictly ordered him to wait outside the side room.
If he dared to run, even if he fled to the ends of the earth, Lin Feng would tear him into ten thousand pieces!
Head Guard was a native of Qingyun County and had a whole Family to look after, so he naturally didn't dare to leave rashly.
"May I ask what instructions Senior has?" Hearing this, Head Guard quickly scurried over and asked with a fawning smile.
"Do you know where the Family's treasures are hidden?" Lin Feng asked straight to the point.
"Senior, I know. The Family has a secret underground cavern, but usually, only Patriarch Ye Hu can enter it," Head Guard quickly answered truthfully.
"Oh? Where is it?" Lin Feng pressed!
"Senior, please follow me!" Head Guard said, quickly leading the way.
Soon, the two arrived at the Family's back garden!
Head Guard pointed to the rockery in the center of the garden and said, "Senior, the entrance to the cavern is right under the rockery."
Immediately, Head Guard walked to the front of the rockery and pointed to the large stone slab at the bottom, saying, "The entrance is right here. Unfortunately, it requires a key to open, and I don't have it!"
"Hmm, let me see!" Lin Feng's mind stirred, and he quickly infused his Qi into his eyes!
Upon looking, he discovered that the stone slab was emitting faint rays of light from a Formation.
Clearly, this cavern entrance was protected by a Formation.
If there was no key, he would just have to blast it open with force!
"Step aside!" Lin Feng shouted!
Hearing this, Head Guard quickly and obediently stepped aside!
Lin Feng assumed a stance, clenched his right fist, and smashed it fiercely toward the stone slab.
A Crushing Fist was unleashed, and the entire rockery shook violently!
Faint rays of light from the Formation also erupted on the stone slab.
Vaguely, countless strange runes could be seen flickering and vanishing!
"Haha, it really works!" Seeing this, Lin Feng couldn't help but feel a surge of spirit.
Immediately, he clenched his right fist and unleashed one style of Jidao Fist after another!
Now, he had reached Entry Level in Fist Intent!
Under the amplification of his Fist Intent, the power of nearly every punch reached a terrifying five thousand jin!
It was comparable to the full-strength strike of a cultivator in the Early Stage of the Core Condensation Realm!
Boom, boom, boom...
As his fists descended like a storm.
The Formation light on the stone slab flickered constantly.
Gradually, cracks spread at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Hiss!" Seeing this, Head Guard couldn't help but gasp in shock, muttering to himself, "Such terrifying fist power. The power of nearly every punch is over five thousand jin. Is he even human?"
On the surface, Lin Feng only appeared to be in the Early Stage of the Spirit Gathering Realm.
Yet the fist power he unleashed was so terrifying!
It was simply inconceivable.
This Lin Feng must have hidden his strength.
He didn't know how many punches he had thrown!
With the final punch!
A heaven-shaking explosion rang out!
The entire stone slab suddenly shattered, turning into debris that flew in all directions.
Revealing a pitch-black entrance!
The entrance led all the way down to the cavern below.
"Follow me in!" Lin Feng called out, and taking Head Guard with him, he leaped down.
The two landed on their feet and discovered a dim passageway ahead.
Following the passage, they moved forward!
After rounding a bend, they finally reached their destination.
Ahead was a cavern about a hundred zhang square!
Seeing the situation before them clearly, Lin Feng and Head Guard were both shocked and turned pale.
"Beast!"
A moment later, Lin Feng let out an angry curse.
Head Guard also glared with wide eyes, furious.
In the center of the cavern, there was a blood pool about several dozen zhang square!
The entire pool was filled with dripping fresh blood.
Waves of blood surged!
Beside the blood pool, countless grim white bones were piled up.
Those bones included both adults and children.
A rough count showed no less than three hundred skeletons.
"I didn't expect that beast Patriarch Ye Hu to actually use human blood to Cultivate a Demonic Technique!" Lin Feng gritted his teeth.
"Do you know what is going on here?" Lin Feng turned his head to look at Head Guard and asked!
"I don't know either!" Head Guard shook his head, looking bewildered. "I only know that Patriarch Ye Hu designated this place as a Forbidden Ground; no one is allowed to trespass without his permission."
"Moreover, every time Patriarch Ye Hu enters here to Cultivate, when he comes back out, he looks full of energy."
"In my opinion, Patriarch Ye Hu must have suffered heavy injuries in the past, causing his cultivation to plummet and the Qi and blood in his body to constantly decline!"
"Only by using this evil secret method to absorb the blood of others can he maintain the Qi and blood in his body."
"Then what about these people who died here? As the captain of the guards, you know nothing about it?" Lin Feng expressed suspicion!
Head Guard quickly pleaded his innocence, "Senior, I really don't know. These people must have been captured by the Family's death soldiers. Only those death soldiers would not leak the secret of Patriarch Ye Hu Cultivating a Demonic Technique!"
"Fine, I understand!" Seeing that Head Guard did not seem to be faking it, Lin Feng stopped pressing!
He took a deep breath and strode forward.
He saw a stone table and two stone stools not far from the blood pool!
On the stone table lay a tattered, yellowed ancient book!
Lin Feng picked it up and saw that this Cultivation Technique was called "Bloodthirsty Demonic Technique".
Besides this ancient book, there was also a box.
There was a Formation light flickering on the box!
Lin Feng clenched his right fist and smashed it down fiercely.
After several consecutive punches, he forcibly shattered the Formation on the box!
Immediately, with a click, he opened the box!
At a glance, he couldn't help but be ecstatic!
Inside the box was a thick stack of silver banknotes!
A rough count showed no less than ten thousand taels!
Besides that, underneath the silver banknotes were two Secret Manuals!
They were "Golden Bell Cover" and "Iron Shirt".
Both were High Grade Yellow-tier physical training Cultivation Techniques.
They could significantly increase Physical Body strength.
Such physical training Cultivation Techniques were extremely rare!
They were almost impossible to obtain in the outside world!
Only those large Families and large Sects possessed them.
This time, he had truly struck gold.
With them, Lin Feng's Physical Body strength could be significantly improved.
These two physical training Secret Manuals were originally prepared by Patriarch Ye Hu for his son, Ye Chen, in advance!
Once Ye Chen stepped into the Spirit Gathering Realm, he was to Cultivate both of these techniques simultaneously.
This way, he could not only significantly increase his Physical Body strength but also greatly enhance the Qi and blood in his body.
Furthermore, he could even break the limits of the human body and reach the legendary Extreme Realm.
This secret was known only to people from those large Families and large Sects.
It was just unexpected that before Ye Chen could even use these two Secret Manuals, he had already been killed by Lin Feng.
Everything now belonged to Lin Feng.
