Chapter 434: Breakthrough

“I think this kid’s strength has already reached the Martial Arts Limit, and it seems he’s still holding back. Can a Martial Arts Family really produce an expert of this caliber?” the old man from the Wudang Sect asked, frowning in confusion.

“Ancestor, will Sect Leader Han win this time?” a Wudang Disciple inquired.

“He was a bit too impulsive this time. Winning will likely be very difficult, but rest assured, your Sect Leader won’t die. No matter what, I will save him,” said the Wudang Sect’s ancestor.

In this entire sparring assembly, it was actually permissible for either side to intervene and rescue their people.

The condition was that you had to actually succeed in the rescue. If the rescuer was killed by the opponent in the attempt, they had no one to blame but themselves. But as long as they could get their person to safety, it was all within the rules.

This assumed, of course, that the rescuer was strong enough to guarantee their own safety.

“Han Hao, go die!” At that moment, Shadow Blade of Blood Blade Manor spoke with chilling coldness, his killing intent erupting.

“Heh. This time, no one from Blood Blade Manor should even think of running. Not a single one of them will leave this Great Snow Mountain alive. Our friends from the Cyan Cloud Sect and the Kongtong Sect will make their move alongside us. They’ve also brought many people. Between our three sects, we have at least fifty or sixty at the Martial Arts Peak and more than a dozen at the Martial Arts Limit.”

“Yes. Our Wudang Sect has brought eighteen Martial Arts Peak Realm experts this time. We are determined to completely eradicate Blood Blade Manor! We will slaughter every last one of them!” said the Wudang Sect’s ancestor.

“Yes! That’s great! Let’s see how arrogant those bastards can be now!” The nearby Wudang Disciples were all beaming with joy when they heard this.

For these three Major Sects to deploy several dozen Martial Arts Peak Realm Cultivators, it was clear they were dead set on annihilating Blood Blade Manor.

At the very least, not a single one of the Blood Blade Manor Cultivators who came to Great Snow Mountain for the tournament would be left alive.

“Honey, what’s wrong? Are you hurt?” Su Miaoke grew anxious when she saw Chu Feng stumbling as he walked, her eyes filled with worry.

“Don’t worry, I’m fine. I’m just putting on an act for them. You don’t have to worry. We can talk more when we get back,” Chu Feng said to Su Miaoke.

Even after fighting all night, Chu Feng had barely expended any energy. He had been acting the entire time, deliberately lulling the people from Spirit Sword Valley into a false sense of security.

The whole point was to make them underestimate his strength. When the time came, Chu Feng would strike with his full power and annihilate them completely.

“You’re so devious, you know that?” Su Miaoke was stunned for a moment when she heard this, then she rolled her eyes.

“Those old hags from Spirit Sword Valley… If I don’t beat them until they’re crying, they’ll never learn their lesson. They’ll definitely come looking for trouble again, and they might even go after our families. So this time, I’m going to show them why the flowers are so red,” Chu Feng said.

He couldn’t afford to be careless about this, nor could he leave it to chance.

“Alright, you’ve already made up your mind. I don’t understand these things anyway. But no matter what, you absolutely must promise to keep yourself safe,” Su Miaoke said.

“I know. Don’t worry,” Chu Feng said, nodding.

After the two returned to the Venerable Hall, Chu Feng instantly perked up, full of life. He dropped the act, revealing the truth.

Now, all that was left was to wait for the people from Spirit Sword Valley and see how they would react.

But there was one thing Chu Feng knew for sure: those old women would not let him off easily. Being targeted by them was an extremely dangerous affair.

When women held a grudge, they could be far more ruthless than men.

So, Chu Feng wasn’t going to hold back. He had to establish his dominance this time and make everyone understand the consequences of making an enemy of him.

After this battle, he would make sure everyone was too afraid to make a move against him, that they would all know the true extent of his power.

After all, on the path of the Martial Dao, strength was what mattered most. Fists did the talking.

The strong were revered, and strength was the foundation of everything.

“You get some rest. I need to process the insights I gained during the fight,” Chu Feng said to Su Miaoke with a smile.

Although he had admittedly been holding back during the fight, his gains were still immense.

After all, the experience gained from fighting a Martial Arts Peak Realm expert was incredibly valuable.

The one thing Chu Feng lacked was actual combat experience.

Only with more real-world combat could he rapidly increase his fighting prowess.

Moreover, these old masters he was facing had all lived for over a century and possessed incredibly rich combat experience.

He could learn a great deal just by crossing blows with them.

Chu Feng was immersed in processing these new insights when he was suddenly startled by a commotion.

He had already reached the peak of the Core Formation Realm, truly entering its late stage.

This single insight had brought about a massive improvement. Within his Body Dantian, the golden formed core spun rapidly, wreathed in Spiritual Qi.

Performing an Inner Observation of the Dantian was like gazing upon a galaxy, leaving Chu Feng filled with wonder.

He had been in cultivation for a long time, a Martial Cultivation Spirit Stone currently in his hand.
