Nine Yang Alchemy Emperor
Chapter 317: Catastrophe Is Inevitable

Chapter 317: Chapter 317: Catastrophe Is Inevitable

The Demon Fog dissipated, and the figures of Chu Feng, covered with wounds, and Han Xiaoying and others, became visible. Shielded by the Sword Array, they were only injured by the blast and not at risk of losing their lives.

Among the four, Chu Feng was the least injured.

Because at the critical moment, he used a life-saving Defense Talisman. It helped him block most of the attacks.

Han Xiaoying lay on the ground, bleeding profusely.

Chu Feng rushed over to check her injuries, then took out Healing Pills and Detoxification Pills and fed them to her.

After dealing with Han Xiaoying’s injuries, Chu Feng looked towards Han Shuang, not far away.

Her cultivation was much higher than Han Xiaoying’s, probably because she had also used a life-saving talisman at the critical moment. She appeared fairly well, with only blood hanging from the corner of her mouth and minor injuries.

Seeing Chu Feng approaching, Han Shuang gave him a cold look and said, "Don’t touch me!"

Chu Feng’s expression faltered and he showed a bitter smile, flicking a Detoxification Pill towards her.

"The blood of the Ancient Demon is highly toxic! Although your Rashamon Sect’s techniques can restrain the Demonic Qi, they cannot remove the demon toxin. This pill will help you detoxify." Without waiting for Han Shuang to respond, Chu Feng walked straight forward.

Han Dong was in much worse condition.

Laying on the ground covered in blood, especially around his abdomen where the blood was unceasing.

Chu Feng quickly treated Han Dong’s wounds and resuscitated him. The figure of the Poison Eye Dragon King flew towards them from a distance.

"Master..." He respectfully opened his mouth, ready to ask about Chu Feng’s injuries.

"I am unharmed!" Chu Feng’s expression was indifferent as he headed to a nearby area. He was searching for the silhouette of the Old Woodcutter.

When the Ancient Demon self-destructed, the Old Woodcutter bore the greatest pressure.

Soon, Chu Feng spotted the Old Woodcutter. He was sitting cross-legged there, his hair disheveled, and his clothes even more tattered. His whole body was dyed red with blood. His aura also became significantly weak.

"Old sir, how are you feeling?" Chu Feng walked over and asked with concern.

After a long time, the Old Woodcutter finally opened his eyes.

"I am grievously injured... The Ancient Demon hasn’t died. It used the Heavenly Demon Disintegration technique and after self-destructing, it took the chance to escape. However, its strength must be extremely weak for now. The demon is cunning and brutal; it will likely find a safe place to hide and then wait for an opportunity to devour the essence blood of human experts."

"Only in this way can it quickly regain its strength. Alas... I still couldn’t prevent this catastrophe." The Old Woodcutter truly cared for the world’s people, heaving a self-blaming long sigh.

Such lofty morality also made Chu Feng deeply respect him.

"This old man wishes to recover his cultivation, at least ten years or more I suspect. Hopefully during this time, someone can suppress the Ancient Demon..."

The Old Woodcutter shakily took out a Healing Elixir from his pocket and swallowed it.

Chu Feng’s gaze grew sharp; it was a Fifth-grade Blood and Qi Pill.

This was a very high-grade healing elixir.

"Young man, you all did your best! Go back now! I also need to find a quiet place to close up for a period. If that Ancient Demon regains a bit of strength, it will definitely come looking for me and you. Because both of us are threats to it."

The Old Woodcutter advised Chu Feng with a serious expression.

"You mean the Ancient Demon will come to kill us once it recovers its strength?" The mere thought of that Ancient Demon sent shivers down Chu Feng’s spine.

"Definitely! The Mountain Opening Sword Skill that I practice, along with this ancestral Demon Devouring Sword, both pose a threat to the Ancient Demon. The Heavenly Divine Weapon in your hands, crafted by Ou Tiangong to hunt demons, exhausting his life, has power beyond imagination. It even has the capacity to slay the Ancient Demon."

"However, after thousands of years, this sword was greatly damaged in the process of suppressing the Ancient Demon, and you need to repair it step by step, to restore its mighty power."

The old woodcutter paused, then added, "Ou Tiangong’s sword casting and artifact refining skills had reached the Transformation Realm. He exhausted his life to forge a Heavenly Divine Weapon, which is by no means ordinary. He left a will saying that if this Divine Weapon meets a worthy master, under the right circumstances, there is still a great chance for it to advance."

Chu Feng’s eyes suddenly lit up upon hearing this.

Having obtained this Heavenly Divine Weapon at the risk of his life, it was absolutely worth the ticket price.

In the future, it could still be promoted. To what realm could it advance? Beyond a Heavenly Divine Weapon?

Chu Feng couldn’t help but be filled with anticipation.

For a Sword Cultivator, a sword is usually a lifelong companion, treasured as one’s own life. Securing a Divine Weapon that could be upgraded was particularly significant.

This way, it wouldn’t be obsolete after one’s realm increased.

"Take care!" The old woodcutter finished his instructions, using the black broadsword in his hand as a walking stick, and headed into the deep mountains.

In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from the sight of Chu Feng and the others.

Sure enough, being at the level of a Sword God, even though he was seriously injured, he still possessed such astonishing speed.

Watching the old woodcutter’s departing figure, Chu Feng couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.

With this Demon Slaying Sword in hand, while it was a great opportunity, it was also a great trouble. From here on out, he and the Ancient Demon would forge an ’inextricable bond’. Only one of them could survive; either the Ancient Demon would die, or Chu Feng would perish.

"I must quickly reclaim the Nine Yang Sword Veins; only then can I stand proud, without worry of the Ancient Demon seeking revenge," Chu Feng’s gaze became determined.

This trip to the Sword Tomb was hugely rewarding, also allowing him to defeat Prince Jianyun, adding a dose of confidence.

"After returning to the Sect, a minor comparison should immediately be held. At that time, I will settle things with Prince Jianyun on the arena!"

Chu Feng subconsciously gripped the Heavenly Divine Weapon in his hand.

As for the Crimson Flame Sword, he no longer needed it, but bringing it back for Li Shishi to use wasn’t a bad idea either.

She was indeed Chu Feng’s intelligence leader, very capable and worth cultivating.

"Hiss~!"

Suddenly, a sizzling sound of a snake’s tongue issued from the sleeve of the Poison Eye Dragon King standing behind Chu Feng. And it was particularly low and fierce.

"Master be careful, it seems something quite formidable is approaching us!" The Poison Eye Dragon King held his Treasure Sword, his gaze vigilantly scanning the surroundings. "The approaching thing is very formidable; even my Black Dragon King feels fearful."

Inside the sleeve of the Poison Eye Dragon King, that small crested snake was trembling.

Its neck had also become particularly thick, its scales flaring open, incessantly hissing.

The perceptive abilities of animals are often stronger than those of humans.

Specially like the Black Dragon King, ranked seventh among Strange snakes, it was even more formidable.

"You are lucky to have a Black Dragon King. Any danger can be detected by it at the earliest time, immediately alerting you," Chu Feng said with great envy.

He also didn’t dare to be careless, watchfully remaining on guard of his surroundings.

Could it be that Ancient Demon was lurking around, waiting for the old woodcutter to leave before showing up to kill me?

At this thought, Chu Feng’s hair stood on end.

Han Xiaoying and the others were all injured, unable to arrange the Sword Array.

"Given the chance, I must gather four Divine Weapons, then setting up the Sword Array in the future won’t require seeking help from others!" Chu Feng couldn’t help but think.
