Nine Yang Alchemy Emperor
Chapter 250: Both Form and Spirit

Chapter 250: Chapter 250: Both Form and Spirit

Liu Qiang spent a hefty sum purchasing two Detoxification Pills, originally expected to share them with Han Dong and Lin Yuan. Both of them now knew of the strikingly effective Detoxification Pills provided by Chu Feng, equivalent to life-saving Elixirs.

They were all eagerly waiting, staring at Liu Qiang with expectant eyes.

"Han Dong, swallow it immediately!" Liu Qiang, holding his sword, rushed in front of Han Dong and tossed a Detoxification Pill to him.

"Sure!"

After Han Dong received the Detoxification Pill, he did not mention paying with silver, nor did he show much gratitude. With an entitled demeanor, he directly threw the Detoxification Pill into his mouth and swallowed it.

Lin Yuan waited full of anticipation for Liu Qiang to reward him with the other Elixir.

In the end, he waited in vain, as Liu Qiang had no such intention at all.

"Captain Liu, could you also give me a Detoxification Pill!" Lin Yuan had no choice but to shamelessly ask.

"I really can’t, I need to keep them for my own use. You can buy from Chu Feng," Liu Qiang said while fighting against the Demon Bat.

This further confirmed Chu Feng’s suspicion that there was indeed an extraordinary close relationship between Han Dong and Liu Qiang.

Chu Feng always felt that Liu Qiang was shrewd and a dangerous character.

One lapse in attention, and it was possible to be calculated against by him. Moreover, this person was extremely good at disguising himself, even more formidable than Li Guang, who seemed shrewd. The depths of Cheng Mansion were much deeper.

His vigilance against Liu Qiang couldn’t help but deepen several degrees. He needed to be especially cautious of this person.

Lin Yuan had always looked down on Chu Feng, and there was a history of enmity between them. Now, to lower his head and buy a Detoxification Pill from Chu Feng was something he was reluctant to do.

However, for the sake of his life, he had no choice but to make the purchase.

"Here are ten thousand taels in a silver note, give me a Detoxification Pill!" Lin Yuan said, hanging his head and speaking in a muffled tone.

"If you want to buy it, it’ll cost twelve thousand taels each!" Chu Feng hiked up the price on the spot. Since the Elixir was being sold to an enemy, he had to be ruthless and squeeze every tael out of him.

"Chu Feng... don’t push me too far!" Lin Yuan’s gamecock eyes suddenly shot a fearsome glare, looking ready to start a fight.

"My advice to you, it would be best not to seek out discomfort for yourself. You’re no match for me," Chu Feng said bluntly, not considering Lin Yuan a threat at all. In terms of real fighting power, even team leader Liu Qiang was no match for him.

Lin Yuan trembled with rage, wishing he could butcher Chu Feng.

But in the end, he abandoned the idea of attacking, because half of his body was being invaded by the Bat Poison, leaving it stiff and greatly reducing his fighting capability.

"Here’s twelve thousand taels!" Lin Yuan’s heart ached as if a piece had been carved out of it, his lips trembling in pain. But for the sake of his life, he clenched his teeth and bought the life-saving Elixir from Chu Feng at an extravagant price.

"Chu Feng, you son of a bitch, once the poison is neutralized and my strength is restored, I’ll make you pay," Lin Yuan swore.

This time, Chu Feng did not give him a hard time. After taking the money, he immediately handed over a Detoxification Pill.

Five Demon Bats had already flown over, and they began a fierce attack on the team of seven. Liu Qiang’s fighting power was extremely strong. Li Guang, skinny as a monkey, was slyly staying at the back, engaging half-heartedly in the battle.

Han Dong, Liu Qiang, and Zi Yan all displayed strong fighting abilities. To Chu Feng’s surprise, He Ruoshui also revealed remarkable fighting prowess.

Sometimes, you truly can’t underestimate anyone.

No matter how weak and delicate He Ruoshui seemed, when she took action, she was anything but hesitant.

After taking the Detoxification Pill, Lin Yuan’s combat strength began to gradually increase.

Chu Feng, on the other hand, retained most of his strength, barely holding off a Demon Bat. Zi Yan was very grateful to him, worried that without sword meridians, he was no match for the Demon Bat. She intentionally stayed close to him.

While she was single-handedly dealing with a Demon Bat, she also kept an eye on Chu Feng’s side.

The battle was intense.

There were a total of five Demon Bats; Liu Qiang and Han Dong faced one each. Chu Feng and Zi Yan each took on one. That left only one remaining.

Lin Yuan and Li Guang both had the capability to withstand it.

However, these two men, one cunning as a ghost and the other hating Chu Feng to the bone, had their own intentions.

They deliberately lured the demon bat closer to Chu Feng. Lin Yuan intentionally crouched and rolled on the ground to dodge the demon bat’s strike. Li Guang caught on quickly and drew his sword to leap away.

Suddenly, the demon bat swooped toward Chu Feng.

"Son of a bitch, you dare to extort my silver. I’ll make you dry up under the demon bat’s attack." Lin Yuan cursed fiercely.

Chu Feng was already in a precarious situation fending off one demon bat. Now, with another bat attacking him, he was almost certainly facing his doom.

Chu Feng’s eyes narrowed, "Fast Sword Technique, I have already grasped the basic profound meaning - speed, ferocity, precision. But after receiving guidance from the Old Woodcutter on the Heavy Sword Technique, by analogy, I am certain that the ultimate secret of the Fast Sword Technique must be more than just these three."

Just like the Heavy Sword Technique’s ultimate secret, it’s about borrowing strength, adding fuel to the flames.

"There seems to be something lacking in my Fast Sword Technique? Now is the perfect chance to comprehend it fully under the threat of these two demon bats."

Chu Feng immediately executed the First Level of the Heaven and Earth Sword Skill, the Fast Sword Technique.

Swish swish swish!

His swordsmanship reached an extreme speed, like a flash of lightning. However, he soon realized that his speed had reached its limit, and it was difficult to improve further.

"It definitely can be faster; there has to be something I’m not doing right!"

Chu Feng’s character and perception were superior. His combat experience was exceedingly rich.

While fighting the two demon bats, he pondered deeply on the more profound meanings of the Fast Sword.

"Could it be that I’m being too rigid in my moves?"

Chu Feng was indeed formidable; he quickly identified the problem. Being fixated on the moves, focusing too much on form and neglecting the essence.

Merely having the form.

The speed of the swordsmanship was naturally difficult to increase.

Realizing this, Chu Feng tried to channel his spirit into his sword, abandoning the sword moves, not being constrained by the outward form, and instead seeking the inner essence.

Upon doing so, he was amazed to find that his sword speed had broken through its previous shackles and improved once again.

"Haha... Just as I thought!"

Overjoyed, Chu Feng wielded his sword against the two ferocious bloodsucking demon bats, repeatedly performing Rapid Slashes and thrusts.

He abandoned all those fancy sword moves.

Turning complexity into simplicity, he used only the most practical basic sword moves that could guarantee the fastest speed. Chopping, slashing, thrusting, flicking, sweeping...

Zi Yan, who was nearby, was shocked to see Chu Feng being attacked by two demon bats.

She was about to offer help, not expecting Chu Feng to appear in danger, possibly on the verge of getting killed. But he remained as stable as Mount Tai.

After a while, Chu Feng was even able to comfortably handle the two demon bats, making them constantly scream in fear and try to escape.

Lin Yuan, who wanted to kill Chu Feng, watched with extreme alarm.

Unexpectedly, he had actually helped Chu Feng improve his swordsmanship.

"Ouch!"

Zi Yan was distracted and got scratched by the demon bat again. She cried out in pain as the bat savagely pounced at her, biting towards her delicate and fair neck.

"Save me..." Zi Yan could not dodge the deadly pounce of the demon bat.

No one could save her. Captain Liu Qiang was far away from her. He Ruoshui was teaming up with Liu Qiang to kill another demon bat; they had already damaged one of its wings and seemed about to slay it soon.

Han Dong was too busy to take care of himself.

As for Lin Yuan and Li Guang, they had no intention of caring about Zi Yan’s life or death.
