Chapter 31 The Snake and the Crane Fight, the Maple Benefits

In battle, every cultivator embodies ruthlessness, each strike aimed to kill; that is ruthlessness.

How can one achieve accuracy? By controlling the sword with one's mind, achieving perfect harmony between the sword and mind, and striking precisely where one points – that is accuracy.

How can I speed things up?

Strip away the unnecessary frills and get straight to the point – that's speed!

However, speed is not something that can be achieved with just a few words; it requires countless hours of practice.

What a cultivator's mind can think of, his body may not be able to do; his mind can think of a place in an instant, but his body cannot reach that place.

Therefore, to achieve the ultimate speed, one must train one's body again and again, ensuring that the body's reaction and strength can keep up with the speed of the mind!

How fast can a thought travel? Indescribable.

If a sword could be as fast as a thought, it would be invincible.

Therefore, Chu Feng did not practice swordsmanship first; he only practiced one move: drawing his sword.

Quickly draw the sword from its scabbard and thrust it out!

Chu Feng kept drawing his sword and thrusting it out, repeating this cycle from morning till night, and from night till dawn. When he got hungry, he would roast beef to eat. Su Xiaoxiao was just like him, engrossed in cultivation.

With each thrust of his sword, Chu Feng's muscles, bones, and every inch of his body strengthened their connection with his soul, and the higher the degree of harmony became, the better.

When Chu Feng first started practicing swordsmanship, he could only thrust out five swords in the blink of an eye. This speed was much faster than that of ordinary cultivators. Two days later, Chu Feng could thrust out thirteen swords in the blink of an eye!

Three days later, Chu Feng was able to thrust out twenty swords in the blink of an eye!

As speed increases, so does the harmony between body and soul.

Twenty days later, Chu Feng's body and soul were completely integrated, and he could now unleash thirty-six sword strikes in the blink of an eye!

Every day, Chu Feng would swallow several marrow-nourishing pills, and at the same time, he would cultivate for two hours.

At this moment, Chu Feng's cultivation level directly advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage!

However, he could no longer increase the speed of his thrust. Chu Feng knew this was because his physical strength and spiritual strength had not improved further.

A remnant soul is ultimately just a remnant soul; by the time it reaches the Foundation Establishment stage, it can no longer keep up with the pace.

If Chu Feng wants to unleash thirty-seven sword strikes in the blink of an eye, he must enhance both his physical and spiritual power.

Therefore, body tempering is now imperative.

At this time, Su Xiaoxiao had not yet learned the first killing move of the Seven Sounds, the Joyful Kill.

The seven killing techniques of Tianyin Palace are: the killing of joy, the killing of anger, the killing of sorrow, the killing of contemplation, the killing of grief, the killing of misfortune, and the killing of desire.

In terms of difficulty, the Seven Sound Killing Technique that Su Xiaoxiao learned is much more difficult than Chu Feng's Seven Sound Killing Technique.

However, Su Xiaoxiao is now at least familiar with the first song, and like Chu Feng, she has broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

If Su Xiaoxiao had a xiao (vertical bamboo flute) or a qin (a seven-stringed zither) now, her progress in cultivating the Seven Sound Kill would be faster.

Therefore, Chu Feng is now taking Su Xiaoxiao to hunt some Foundation Establishment stage demonic beasts, and then find a place to refine his natal divine weapon.

Chu Feng was extremely familiar with mountain ranges like the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, after all, he had lived for nearly five hundred years in his previous life.

Therefore, the place he chose for cultivation did not see a single demonic beast for twenty days.

The best blood for refining demon core liquid is that of a serpent-type demon beast, because serpent-type demon beasts have a trace of dragon bloodline, and such blood is more spiritual.

Chu Feng knew that where snake-like grass grew, there were usually python-like monsters. So, he followed the growth pattern of snake-like grass and searched for it.

"Huh? No, Xiaoxiao, wait a minute." Chu Feng suddenly pulled Su Xiaoxiao to a stop.

After breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage, his divine sense had reached a distance of one hundred meters, and his perception was much stronger than before.

Chu Feng faintly heard the cry of a crane in the distance, and at the same time, he also smelled the scent of a python!

Because he was with Su Xiaoxiao, Chu Feng didn't dare to take any risks, so he taught Su Xiaoxiao the art of concealing her aura.

Su Xiaoxiao's talent is quite remarkable. In just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, she perfectly concealed her aura to the level of the third level of Qi Refining.

Chu Feng also hid in the third level of Qi Refining.

Then, the two quietly headed towards the direction of Heming.

No demon beast fears its own kind or other beings whose cultivation level is much lower than its own.

Therefore, even if the other party discovers them, they are unlikely to pay any attention to those with only the third level of Qi Refining cultivation.

As the two quietly advanced three or four miles, the cries of the cranes grew more intense. After walking a few hundred meters closer, they saw a huge valley and witnessed an astonishing and breathtaking scene.

A three-meter-tall white crane is battling a python that is thirty or forty meters long and as thick as a water bucket!

The most terrifying thing was that two small fleshy lumps had already appeared on the top of the python's head!

This is a sign that the python is transforming into a dragon! Only a level three python has the potential to transform into a dragon, and those who can fight against a level three python are naturally level three demonic beasts!

Two level-three monsters!

Chu Feng looked around and discovered that not far from where the white crane and the python were fighting, there was a spirit fruit tree with a bright red spirit fruit on it!

"The Void God Fruit! So that's how it is!" Chu Feng suddenly realized that this Void God Fruit was enough to allow a peak Yuan Dan stage cultivator to successfully break through to the Void God stage!

Even a level three demon beast can successfully break through to level four by eating this fruit!

Chu Feng pulled Su Xiaoxiao along, and the two squatted down to carefully observe the situation of the snake and crane fighting.

The feathers of a level-three white crane are as hard as steel, and the scales of a level-three python are also incredibly tough. When the two fight, the clanging sound is deafening; even cultivators at the Qi Refining stage would have their eardrums rupture if they heard it.

However, the python is clearly not as advantageous as the white crane. As a level three demon beast, it can fly briefly, just like a human in the Yuan Dan stage. But the white crane is born with the ability to fly.

Even if a python could fly, it would be too clumsy, unlike the agile white crane.

Therefore, the python's injuries worsened, and its movements became slower and slower.

After an incense stick's time, the white crane seized an opportunity and plunged its sharp claws directly into the python's vital spot!

"The white crane has been tricked." Chu Feng, however, could see it clearly. Although the python's movements were getting slower and slower, its speed was very stable. Moreover, by staying on the ground for a long time, it could wait for the enemy to tire itself out.

The white crane stays in the sky and cannot land, thus losing its physical advantage.

Sure enough, before the white crane's sharp claws could tear open the python's vital spot, the python's tail had already swiftly lashed out at the white crane.

The white crane was seriously injured.

The python raised its tail again and lashed at the white crane's head. If it hit this time, the white crane would surely die.

The white crane let out a mournful cry, and suddenly plunged its sharp beak into the python's vital spot, while its two claws tore at it forcefully!

With all its might, the python's vital spot was finally torn open, and it was almost split in two by the sharp claws!

The python was exhausted, but its lashing tail still smashed the white crane's head to pieces!
