nChapter 90 – Beast Horde

n

nCough.. Cough!

nThe dust even blew into Third Guard and Ye Linyun’s faces. The two looked at each other and they saw the shock in each other’s eyes.

n

nThe power of the six great prodigy’s was on the same level as cultivators of the ninth rank. At this moment, a smile appeared on Lord Guanjun’s face as he stared at the dust zone.

n

nThe centre of the dust wave.

n

nBei Moi stood there with his feet half an inch in the ground, everything within sight destroyed.

n

nAround him, there were a few youths pale faced with Nan Gongfan and Yang Qingshan receiving internal injuries. On the other side, Feng Hanyue and Zhao Yufei had been slightly injured too. There was only one exception. In the outer edges of the dust zone, there was one stood standing there uninjured with a solemn expression.

n

n“This guy’s strength is stronger than most cultivators of the ninth rank… “ Zhao Feng stared at Bei Moi.

n

nEver since he had entered the main Zhao family and the Province City, he had never met a genius so talented. Maybe only Xin Wuheng would be able to fight with him.

n

nAs the dust settled, the situation was seen.

n

nBei Moi stood expressionlessly and said casually: “I only used sixty percent of my strength just then.”

n

nSixty percent!

n

nThe geniuses present wanted to say something, but nothing came out.

n

nWas this his true strength?

n

nA bitter smile appeared on Feng Hanyue’s face, he had finally realised why Bei Moi could become Lord Guanjun’s one and only core disciple, whereas he could only become an outer disciple. He hadn’t realised that the difference between the two would be so big.

n

n“In just a months time, Brother Bei Moi’s strength is almost the same as me now.” Ye Linyun sighed.

n

nIn the building, the bunch of youths opened their mouths, but nothing came out.

n

nDead silence.

n

nOn the tree far away, a smile appeared on Lord Guanjun’s face: “Soon, it will be time… ”

n

nA while later.

n

n“Aye, Brother Bei Moi, you’re too strong.” Yang Qingshan said helplessly while jealously flashed in Nan Gongfan’s eyes.

n

nIt was only Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei who were calm because the difference in cultivation between them were big.

n

n“Brother Zhao Feng.” Suddenly, Bei Moi turned to face Zhao Feng.

n

nHmm?

n

nZhao Feng stiffened, what was it?

n

nThe gazes of the youths landed on him.

n

n“Did you fire that finger just then?” Bei Moi stared at him and waved his sleeve.

n

nThe youths squinted and saw that there was a tiny hole on Bei Moi’s sleeve. Obviously, this was just limited to Bei Moi’s sleeve. His arm didn’t even have a mark on it.

n

nHow did he do it?

n

nEven then the others were surprised. When they had exchanged moves, Bei Moi had used a wide range attack that had even reduced Nan Gongfan and Yang Qingshan’s attack to nothing before it even got close to him.

n

nUnder the shocked gazes, Zhao Feng gave a faint smile: “Maybe I was just lucky.”

n

nLucky?

n

nSuspicion rose in Yang Qingshan’s eyes, only Zhao Feng wasn’t injured. Not only that, his finger attack had pierced through the flaw on Bei Moi’s move and left a tiny hole there.

n

nIf he did only one of them, then it might’ve been luck. But if the two points were added together, the chance of it being luck was extremely low.

n

n“Hm!”

n

nThird Guard and Ye Linyun were slightly shocked. The scene before was too chaotic and they didn’t notice this.

n

nIt was Lord Guanjun on the tree who murmured: “What unbelievable perception, to be able to catch Bei Moi’s flaw in a blink and attack it in the chaos.”

n

nThe only one that knew the truth apart from Zhao Feng and Bei Moi was Lord Guanjun. Lord Guanjun had analysed what had happened, he too didn’t notice it before.

n

n“Lucky?”

n

nBei Moi didn’t question him further, but he was slightly irritated. He had wanted to defeat all six geniuses in one hit with a perfect ending. Not only did that not happen, he had also received a nail thick hole in his sleeve.

n

nThis was the only mark that tarnished him. Ever since he had been taken in by Lord Guanjun as a core disciple, he hadn’t lost to anyone in any aspect amongst his generation. Zhao Feng was the first person to do so. First, he was defeated in terms of memorising and now, a mark had appeared on his clothes.

n

nThe sparring between the disciples ended here.

n

nLord Guanjun, Third Guard and Ye Linyun all left. Every disciple had gained something and so, they all quickly went back to their houses to cultivate.

n

nOn the way back, the image of Bei Moi’s move surfaced in Zhao Feng’s mind.

n

nWay too strong!

n

nZhao Feng couldn’t find any way to fight him straight on and Bei Moi had only used sixty percent of his strength just then. Zhao Feng opened his left eye and he found that Bei Moi’s cultivation was extremely close to the ninth rank and his Inner Strength was even better than his Returning Breath Technique.

n

nAfter analysing the fight, Zhao Feng could confirm that Bei Moi had trained three to four Holy martial arts at least. In the midst of it, the Rippling Skill was stronger than most Holy martial arts and it made Zhao Feng realise there were differences among Holy martial arts. Soon, he remembered some contents he had memorised in the library.

n

n“The Holy Martial arts are split into low grade, medium grade, high grade and peak grade. The skills I saw that day at the Treasury Hall should be all low grade.”

n

nInside Zhao Feng’s mind, there was a huge amount of knowledge. Two days ago, he had copied a limitless amount of knowledge into his mind in, most of which hadn’t been digested yet.

n

n…….

n

nReturning back to his place, Zhao Feng started to gain insights on what he had learnt today. The essence of Flowing Wind Stance had been taken in by him. Apart from that, he had also gained some insights into Tornado Stance.

n

nHu!

n

nZhao Feng circulated Returning Breath Technique and around him came the sound of whistling air.

n

nStar Finger!

n

nZhao Feng stabbed out and the simple finger caused the surrounding wind to blow in that direction.

n

n“It’s like this, Flowing Wind Stance helps speed skills while Tornado Stance helps offensive skills and creates wide range attacks.” Zhao Feng gained more insights.

n

nThe four stances were Flowing Wind Stance, Tornado Stance, Partial Wind Stance and Burning Wind Stance with each stance getting deeper and stronger. Up to now, Zhao Feng had learnt fifty to sixty percent of Tornado Stance. If he was right, Burning Wind Stance and Partial Wind Stance were both offensive skills.

n

nFor a few days. Zhao Feng stayed in his room.

n

nA certain day.

n

nZhao Feng opened his eyes.

n

n“Young master Zhao, Master Ye Linyun tells you to go to him, there’s an important meeting.” A servant called out.

n

nUsually, the servant wouldn’t disrupt him unless something was urgent. Zhao Feng walked out of his room and he asked for directions.

n

nThe gathering point was the Sky Guards Battalion.

n

nSoon, Zhao Feng arrived at the middle of the field. When he arrived, there were many people there already and the two sitting at the head seat were Third Guard and Ye Linyun respectively.

n

nThe rest were all of Lord Guanjun’s outer disciples and the new Ten Sky Guards.

n

nWhen everyone had arrived.

n

n“Sir Third Guard, what happened?” A youth asked.

n

nThird Guard responded: “This mission has a few connections with the previous killing mission.”

n

nKilling mission?

n

nZhao Feng was slightly surprised, didn’t they slaughter all the bandits before?

n

nThe other youths present were also curious. Zhao Feng then thought, if this was just another killing mission, why would Bei Moi, the core disciple, show up?

n

n“It’s like this. After we left the bandit zone, large amounts of wild and deadly beasts started to attack the nearby villages and they formed a beast horde with the intention of destroying Guanjun Province City.” Ye Linyun said the reason.

n

nBeast horde?

n

nThe youths were all shocked.

n

nWhy would the bandit zone have a random beast horde?

n

nZhao Feng couldn’t help but think of the scene when he had pursued the Wolf Leader. At that time, Zhao Feng saw a hooded figure and a few high tier deadly beasts.

n

n“The size of the beast horde is extremely big. There’s a large amount of low tier deadly beasts and a few high tier deadly beasts which have already destroyed a few villages and they have started to threaten Guanjun Province City.” Ye Linyun said solemnly.

n

nHigh tier deadly beasts?

n

nThe hearts of the youths clenched. There were many rumours of high tier deadly beasts.

n

nZhao Feng had personally experience how powerful the Two Winged Sword Teeth Tiger was, any one of them would be able to destroy a village and even threaten some small cities.

n

n“The Guanjun Province City has already sent troops, but it’s still not enough. The beast horde this time is also a chance for you. Lord Guanjun has ordered you all to defend it.” Third Guard said.

n

nDefend?

n

nThe youths all let out a breath.

n

n“Only through battle will your potential be ignited.” Zhao Feng’s attitude was on the bright side.

n

nJust as the people were discussing.

n

nRoar~~~~~~~~~~~

n

nA piercing scream sounded above the Guanjun Province City.

n

n“What’s the situation? Has the beast horde already arrived at the Guanjun Province City?”

n

nZhao Feng’s heart jumped.

n

nHe opened his left eye and saw that there was an enormous golden bird in the sky, the aura it released was even stronger than that of the Two Winged Sword Teeth Tiger.

n
