Chapter 48: Instant Kill

Zhao Wu’s appearance was also somewhat out of Zhou Feng’s expectations.

He had always heard others call Zhao Wu “Young Master”, so he had been under the impression that Zhao Wu had the appearance of a young master from an aristocratic family.

But in reality, it wasn’t like that.

Zhao Wu was wearing a simple black-tight suit. His appearance was ordinary, and he had the appearance of a passerby.

Moreover, he wasn’t particularly tall and was about a head shorter than a normal person. He even revealed a simple and honest temperament.

From his appearance, he looked like an honest migrant worker.

Soon, Zhao Wu started fighting.

“Crimson Spiritual Qi?”

Zhou Feng looked at the color of Zhao Wu’s spiritual power and raised his eyebrows slightly.

“So powerful! The Bloodthirsty Demonic Technique has already reached the second level of perfection!”

“I can feel my Blood Qi being pulled even from so far away!”

“The Blood Gu in Zhao Wu’s body has undergone many transformations!”

“…”

The onlookers started to discuss.

Zhao Wu cultivated the Bloodthirsty Demonic Technique, and the Gu in his body was also called Blood Gu.

This was the Bloodthirsty Gu’s most orthodox path of evolution.

Cultivating the Bloodthirsty Demonic Technique made it effortless to control one’s own Blood Qi as well as the opponent’s.

In a battle, the most troublesome thing would be to control their Blood Qi at all times. Otherwise, if the Blood Qi went against the flow, one would be heavily injured.

Moreover, this Bloodthirsty Demonic Technique could even devour blood to recover from injuries.

In terms of survivability, it was at full capacity.

Seeing this, Zhou Feng found an interesting pattern.

As long as one was from the Bloodthirsty faction, their recovery ability and resilience were tenacious.

Moreover, most of their bodies were very strong, so they did not have many weaknesses.

As for the Penta-Poison faction, they were like partial students. They spent all their energy cultivating Gu.

What made Zhou Feng feel strange was that according to the information he had gathered, the battle between the Bloodthirsty faction and the Penta-Poison faction had always been to the Penta-Poison faction’s advantage.

Among the three factions, the battle between the Bloodthirsty faction and the Penta-Poison faction was very serious.

It was evident from the fact that the two factions had split up Mount Gu.

Very few people from the Penta-Poison faction stood close to Zhou Feng.

If it was not for the inner sect martial arts competition, there would not be so many people from the Penta-Poison faction.

“Could it be because of the cost of nurturing them?”

Although the Bloodthirsty faction seemed to be stronger and their actual battle prowess was exceptional, they did not have many people.

In any case, Bitter Bamboo Peak definitely did not have many people. When he had first joined Bitter Bamboo Peak, it had the most people. Yet, the number of disciples there kept decreasing the past few months.

Zhou Feng felt that there were not even 20 people on Bitter Bamboo Peak right now.

Zhou Feng got a better understanding of the Tri-Gu Sect thanks to this competition.

At the same time, he had also seen many things.

At present, the only thing that he was interested in was the Sect Leader’s faction.

The Tri-Gu Sect nurtured three types of Gu, yet why were there only people with Bloodthirsty Gu and Penta-Poison Gu?

What about the Sect Leader’s Ice Spirit Gu? Since the two factions were so powerful, why wouldn’t they fight for the Sect Leader’s position?

These questions were worth pondering.

“Number 99!”

Just as Zhou Feng was deep in thought, a voice woke him up.

It was his turn to fight!

In this short period, many people had been eliminated.

This was because this martial arts competition was all about going all out, regardless of how much strength was left.

In any case, the opponent would be eliminated first, and each person who entered would be able to obtain more cultivation resources.

They could even obtain the true favor of the Elders.

Although there weren’t any Elders watching from the stands, in reality, each Elder would send someone to observe the crowd.

They would check whether there were any good seedlings. If there were, they would naturally take them.

On the path of cultivation, a genius disciple was also a type of cultivation resource.

In this world, the relationship between a disciple and their Master was even stronger than a blood relationship. After all, the further one went, the lonelier and bumpier the path of cultivation became.

When one broke through to the Soul Altar realm, they would clearly feel the hardships of the path of cultivation.

Without the mutual support of people of the same path, it was very difficult to persevere.

Zhou Feng restrained all of his thoughts, and his face returned to calmness.

He slowly walked to the center of the arena.

“Bitter Bamboo Peak? As expected, it’s a new face!”

“That’s right! It Can’t be another 9th Level Qi Condensation cultivator, right?”

“It’s probably true! Those lunatics from Bitter Bamboo Peak don’t have much to say!”

“…”

Looking at Zhou Feng, who went up on stage, quite a few onlookers didn’t have much interest in discussing.

There was no need to discuss it. The people who came from Bitter Bamboo Peak every once in a while were all different.

And every time a new person appeared, it would always be a 9th Level Qi Condensation cultivator. They were simply a bunch of monsters and lunatics.

Zhou Feng ignored all the discussions around him. He was now staring intently at his opponent.

His opponent was dressed in black, directly wrapping his entire body, not even letting his head off. He should be from the Penta-Poison faction.

“Begin!”

The battle began just like that.

At that moment, Zhou Feng’s opponent consumed a few pills. No one knew what he consumed.

“He used poison?”

Zhou Feng narrowed his eyes, feeling a little uncomfortable.

He had been poisoned in a mere instant!?

Soon, Poison Immunity was triggered, and it expelled the poison from his body.

“Demon-Devouring Battle Art!”

Zhou Feng condensed his Spiritual Qi into a spear and hurled it. It was a simple throw, but it was as fast as lightning.

The opponent’s reaction was swift. His body twisted forcefully like a snake, and then he opened his mouth and spat out a puff of green smoke.

Did he try to poison him just like that?

Zhou Feng no longer probed. His body turned into a black shadow and rose from the ground.

Ignoring the green smoke, he rushed in front of the opponent.

During this process, he could feel his clothes sizzling. Did the green smoke corrode them?

Unfortunately, the green smoke could not break through his Demon-Devouring Armor.

Zhou Feng got close and threw a punch!

The opponent’s head was dislocated before Zhou Feng twisted it and gave a simple kick.

Zhou Feng won!

There was no suspense in this battle. The difference in battle prowess between the two sides was overwhelming.

Zhou Feng’s opponent was only at the 5th Level of the Qi Condensation realm, and all of his abilities were related to poison.

Zhou Feng, on the other hand, was not afraid of ordinary poison at all. Since the opponent’s greatest advantage had been countered, the battle was already a done deal.

“He’s actually not afraid of the poison of the Ten-Thousand Poison Gu? He’s indeed at the 9th Level of the Qi Condensation realm!”

“That must be the Demon-Devouring Armor! Another monster!”

“…”

Although they knew that Bitter Bamboo Peak produced monsters all year round, many people still did not expect Zhou Feng’s strength to be so outstanding.

One had to know that Zhou Feng’s opponent was a disciple of Myriad Poison Peak.

Inside his body resided the Myriad Poison Gu, which specialized in researching poison, and he also cultivated poison techniques.

Even though his hand-to-hand combat ability was very poor, he was way more versed in poisoning his opponents.

One might get poisoned without even noticing it!

Moreover, because he cultivated poison techniques, the Myriad Poison Peak disciples’ bodies were full of poison. As long as one got a little closer, they would be poisoned.

When one used their spiritual power to fight, they would instantly be poisoned because the other party’s spiritual power contained poison as well.

This was also the person that many people did not want to meet during the martial arts competition. Even if they won, they would be disgusted to death.

However, they did not expect Zhou Feng to win so cleanly and effortlessly. He did not seem to be afraid of the Myriad Poison Peak’s poison at all!
