373: Killing Yuanying

“Han Ji Fruit?!”

Mu Feng's eyes lit up when he saw that the first brocade pouch contained a Han Ji Fruit.

This item was one of the important Materials for refining Cultivation Infant Pill.

With it, all the Materials for the Cultivation Infant Pill were gathered.

A ninth-tier Yao Beast Core was not difficult for Mu Feng to obtain.

Especially after forming his Nascent Soul, it would be as easy as flipping his hand.

“I wonder if the System's prompt about the good item refers to this?”

“No rush to choose, let's finish looking at the other two first.”

He had the System to view the Materials inside these brocade pouches, which was his advantage, and he couldn't waste it for nothing.

Anyway, a little time wouldn't make a difference.

Thinking this,

Mu Feng turned his head to look at the other two items.

【tuoyuan pill: A Medicinal Pill that expands the capacity of the Golden Core's Magic Power within the body.】

....

【Name: Child-Mother Breaking Blade】

【Grade: High Grade Magic Treasure】

【Effect: A High Grade offensive Magic Treasure, divided into a child blade and a mother blade. After refining, the mother blade can be used to control the child blade to attack enemies, making it impossible to guard against.】

The other two items were a Medicinal Pill and an Advanced Magic Treasure.

To be honest,

these two items would still be of considerable help to ordinary Nascent Soul Late Stage Cultivators.

The tuoyuan pill goes without saying.

This Medicinal Pill could expand the capacity of the Golden Core, which was of great use to any Core Formation Cultivator who hadn't taken it before.

The other High Grade Magic Treasure was also good.

An offensive Magic Treasure, and a rare child-mother type Magic Treasure.

Most people would be unprepared for such Magic Treasures and easily fall victim to them.

It was absolutely perfect for sneak attacks.

If Mu Feng were an ordinary Nascent Soul Late Stage Cultivator, he would definitely be overjoyed by the latter two items.

Unfortunately,

he was not an ordinary Nascent Soul Late Stage Cultivator.

With his current combat power, ordinary High Grade Magic Treasures were no longer helpful to him.

The tuoyuan pill was good, but he had already taken multiple doses and was starting to develop resistance.

Taking more would yield very little benefit.

So, it seemed like there were three brocade pouches to choose from.

But in reality, there was only one.

That was the first brocade pouch containing the Han Ji Fruit.

Having made his choice,

Mu Feng directly reached out and took it.

As the first brocade pouch was taken, the remaining two brocade pouches disappeared directly from the table.

This was clearly a Formation Restriction designed to prevent anyone from taking the first brocade pouch and then coveting the second and third.

Mu Feng was used to such Formation Restrictions and was not surprised.

He directly opened the brocade pouch in his hand.

As the brocade pouch opened, a crystal-clear fruit emitting wisps of cold Qi appeared before him.

【System Reminder: Han Ji Fruit x1】

As soon as the fruit appeared,

its information appeared before Mu Feng's eyes.

【Name: Han Ji Fruit】

【Age: 10,000 years】

【Description: A spiritual fruit fruit that grows beneath ten-thousand-year-old profound ice, containing a massive amount of ice-attribute elements.】

【Effect: One of the Materials for refining Cultivation Infant Pill.】

....

“It's it, alright!”

Mu Feng had already seen the information about this Han Ji Fruit in the brocade pouch earlier.

So, after just a glance to confirm he hadn't taken the wrong one, he placed it into his Storage Ring.

With the reward claimed,

Mu Feng did not rush to leave the pavilion. Instead, he thoughtfully scanned the outside of the pavilion with his eyes from time to time.

These pavilions all had the effect of blocking Divine Sense, so ordinary people could not see outside from inside, nor could they see inside from outside.

However, Mu Feng was not using Divine Sense, but his Spiritual Eye Divine Power, which had been upgraded again.

After absorbing the pair of pupils from the Silver-Winged Yaksha, Mu Feng's eyes became even sharper.

Later, after absorbing the demonic ape's pupils and transforming into the Breaking Law Eye, he could even see through some powerful Restrictions.

Just like now.

Although there were many anti-detection Restrictions in this pavilion, they could not prevent him from seeing the situation outside.

“Only two Nascent Soul Cultivators came, that's fine.”

After a round of observation, he found that although many people had designs on him, only two Early Stage Nascent Soul Cultivators, a middle-aged man and woman, took concrete action.

Judging from their tacit conversation, they seemed to be a couple or lovers.

The man was about forty or fifty years old, with a long face and a fierce appearance that made him seem difficult to provoke. His triangular eyes constantly glanced at the pavilion Mu Feng had entered.

The woman was about thirty or forty years old, with heavy makeup on her face. She stood beside the man, occasionally scanning the other Nascent Soul Cultivators nearby.

From her demeanor, she seemed afraid that others would come and snatch Mu Feng from her.

Being targeted by the woman,

those Nascent Soul Cultivators who originally wanted to join in the fun stopped in their tracks. It was clear that this couple was quite infamous.

“I didn't expect Mu Feng to be targeted by the Fireswarm Twin Devils. It seems he's really in grave danger this time.”

“Yes, I originally wanted to join the fun, but the Fireswarm couple holds grudges, so I'll forget about it.”

“Neither of them is particularly powerful alone, but together, their Body Integration secret art can contend with Middle Stage Nascent Soul Cultivators. I heard they recently teamed up to kill a ninth-tier Yao Beast, so it's best not to provoke them.”

“What a pity for Mu Feng. I heard he's the one with the highest points on the leaderboard this time, and he even has twice as many points as the tenth-place person. His Storage Ring must contain quite a few treasures.”

“Yes, it's said he accumulated nearly four million points in just four days. Such efficiency, in so many past Trial Tournaments, only Lord Nangong could compare with him.”

“Four million points in four days? That's indeed a lot. In the previous few Mystic Heaven Towers, the first place only had about four or five million points. I didn't expect him to have accumulated so many points before the Mystic Heaven Tower even opened. Perhaps he is very likely to be another person to ascend to the upper Realm after Lord Nangong.”

“It's indeed possible, but unfortunately, he's already been targeted by the Fireswarm Twin Devils, so he's probably in grave danger.”

....

The people around looked on with schadenfreude as Mu Feng was targeted by the couple.

Clearly, they did not believe that Mu Feng, a Nascent Soul Late Stage Cultivator, could survive against this couple.

Although Mu Feng could not hear their discussions,

from their expressions, he knew that the man and woman targeting him were not pushovers.

Fortunately, the pavilions here were protected by Restrictions.

And as long as someone entered, outsiders could not enter for a short period of time.

So he still had time to deploy properly.

Now, the first step was naturally to check the information and attributes of this couple.

Knowing himself and his enemy would allow him to better formulate his tactics.

As soon as the System was activated,

the information of the two entered Mu Feng's vision.

【Name: Ge Lie】

【Realm: Early Stage Nascent Soul】

【Magic Treasure: ???】

【Secret Art Divine Ability: ???】

....

【Name: Mei Yang】

【Realm: Early Stage Nascent Soul】

【Magic Treasure: ???】

【Secret Art Divine Ability: ???】

...

“Troublesome, again I can't see their specific attributes and skills.”

Looking at the short lines of information returned, Mu Feng was a little depressed.

It seemed that this Trial Tournament indeed had a shielding effect on Cultivators above the Nascent Soul Realm; the information provided by the System for all Nascent Soul Cultivators he encountered after entering was incomplete.

“Forget it, if I can't see it, then so be it. Anyway, with my current strength, I'm not afraid of them.”

“Moreover, I can see their movements from inside. When I go out, I'll directly make my Move. With intention against no intention, the win rate should not be low.”

Originally, Mu Feng wanted to be more cautious after seeing the information.

Since he couldn't see it, then he would give up.

However, tactics still had to be arranged. This time, he not only wanted to deal with these two people but also wanted to kill them cleanly and efficiently!

Only then could he achieve the effect of killing a chicken to warn the monkeys.

Then, others with covetous intentions would not dare to have designs on him again.

Otherwise, if he were besieged by multiple Nascent Soul Cultivators, even if his combat power was already close to the Late Stage Nascent Soul, he would not be able to withstand it.

“Come out, Little Lizards.”

Mu Feng patted his spirit beast bag, releasing all his Spiritual Insects, Spirit Beasts, including the Puppet Lizard.

When he came in earlier, Mu Feng had intentionally hidden them.

Now that he was going to kill to establish his might,

he naturally released them all.

Moreover, if he wanted to kill beautifully this time, he naturally couldn't do without the help of a few Spirit Beasts.

Especially the recently awakened Flying Purple Patterned Scorpion, Mu Feng had great hopes for it.

As soon as the few Spirit Beasts appeared, Mu Feng immediately arranged tactics for them.

After the Little Lizards had all taken their positions and understood what they needed to do,

Mu Feng also swaggered out of the pavilion.

Seeing this,

Ge Lie and Mei Yang, who had been waiting for a long time, approached with ill intentions.

The surrounding Cultivators also looked at them, as if watching a show.

After some delay, many Nascent Soul Late Stage Cultivators had also come up here.

However, they did not recognize Mu Feng; they only saw a pair of Nascent Soul Cultivators having designs on him, and these people silently mourned for Mu Feng.

However, before the Fireswarm Twin Devils could approach,

Mu Feng shook his palm, and a large number of Flying Swords appeared in his hand.

“Go!”

Mu Feng flicked his hand, and dozens of Soul-Devouring Bee Cloud Swords shot towards the two.

Ge Lie and Mei Yang didn't expect Mu Feng to attack first before they even made a Move.

They were first stunned, then showed disdain.

In their eyes, no matter how powerful Mu Feng was, he was still just a junior Nascent Soul Late Stage Cultivator.

Even if he attacked first, it wouldn't affect them.

Instead, it gave them an excuse to deal with Mu Feng.

“Petty tricks!”

“Break!”

The two exerted their power simultaneously, extending their palms, and a large expanse of radiant light confronted Mu Feng's Lifebound Treasure.

This radiant light was called Fireswarm Divine Light.

It was their couple's famous unique skill; any flying object touched by this radiant light would lose its effect and fall.

This effect was similar to Mu Feng's Treasure Dropping Flower Basket.

Mu Feng was not aware of the effect of the opponent's radiant light, but he had not expected his Flying Swords to injure the opponent anyway.

His purpose in doing so was actually to make the two relax their guard.

The killing Move was actually unleashed only after the Flying Purple Patterned Scorpion's strange cry appeared.

“Little Zi, now!”

“Little Lizard, go!”

“Little Moon, set up the Formation!”

As soon as Mu Feng's voice fell, three illusory figures rushed out of the pavilion.

Upon closer inspection, they were all Middle Stage to Late Stage Core Formation Spiritual Insects and Spirit Beasts.

The Fireswarm Twin Devils were slightly stunned by this.

However, they did not believe that Mu Feng could contend with them even with these few Spirit Beasts.

But out of caution, they still summoned a giant bell, which revolved around them.

This giant bell was a High Grade defensive Magic Treasure with a wide area of effect, and it was incredibly sturdy.

Even Nascent Soul Cultivators would not be able to break through it in a short time without a sharp Magic Treasure.

After releasing the giant bell, the woman shook her palm, and a pair of scissors appeared in her hand. After another shake, the scissors disappeared.

Mu Feng watched this unfold.

He knew that it must be the opponent's offensive Magic Treasure, so he didn't dare to directly resist it and immediately activated the Vajra Shield to protect himself.

“Dong!”

Just as he finished, he saw a giant pair of scissors appear behind his neck, fiercely cutting towards his head.

The giant scissors had a powerful momentum, appearing to be either a top-grade offensive Magic Treasure or an ancient treasure.

Unfortunately, it encountered the Vajra Shield, a replica Spirit Treasure.

No matter how high its attack power, it could not break through the Vajra Shield's protection.

After failing in one strike,

both of them looked a little surprised.

They knew the power of those scissors; although they were a top-grade offensive Magic Treasure, their special additional attributes made their power no less than that of an offensive ancient treasure.

Who knew how many transformed Yao Beasts and Nascent Soul Cultivators had died by these scissors.

They hadn't expected it to fail today when used against a junior Nascent Soul Late Stage Cultivator.

“Is that a defensive ancient treasure?! Or an even more powerful Magic Treasure than an ancient treasure!”

“No wonder his points are so high; we've hit the jackpot this time!”

With their eyesight, they immediately recognized the extraordinary nature of the shield before them.

After their initial shock, came endless joy.

The more powerful this item was, the happier they would be when they looted it later.

After all, they didn't believe that Mu Feng could survive in their hands just because he had a powerful defensive Magic Treasure.

The stronger the Magic Treasure, the more Magic Power it consumed.

Mu Feng was just a junior Core Formation Cultivator.

How much Magic Power could he have?

After exchanging glances, Ge Lie also prepared to help his partner launch an attack.

However, at this moment,

the purplish-black scorpion in front of them suddenly opened its mouth and let out strange cries.

“Hmm?”

They were not clear about the Flying Purple Patterned Scorpion's Move. Seeing it open its mouth, they thought it was some kind of sound wave attack skill.

They subconsciously used the giant bell to block it, and at the same time, used the true essence within their bodies to set up a layer of protection on themselves, hoping to resist the Flying Purple Patterned Scorpion's attack with this.

Just as they thought they could easily resolve this sound wave attack,

they suddenly discovered that their true essence was out of control!

This discovery filled both of them with terror.

True essence was the foundation of a Cultivator; if their true essence was out of control, they were no different from ordinary Qi Refining Cultivators.

Although they quickly regained control of the surging true essence within their bodies,

it was already too late.

Mu Feng had already prepared his tactics before coming out.

That was, as soon as the Flying Purple Patterned Scorpion's strange cry attack was unleashed, all skills would be released simultaneously.

So,

just as the Flying Purple Patterned Scorpion's insect cry skill reached the two, Mu Feng's Numinous Light Treasure Mirror shone upon them.

The Puppet Lizard's Spirit Fire followed closely behind.

Seeing the unfavorable situation, the two still wanted to dodge.

Unfortunately, the Silver Moon Fox, who had been waiting for a long time, directly emerged from the illusory space, releasing a Yin Yang Trapping Formation in front of the two, directly blocking their path.

The killing intent was clear.

They had no escape!
