Black Wind Ridge

Lin Feng arrived at a spacious place, feeling a slight chill in his heart. This was a world where the strong were respected, and human life was as insignificant as grass and mustard. They could decide to kill at will, as long as one's strength was formidable.

He had just inadvertently entered a narrow escape, and only took a glance before turning away. However, Liu Fei wanted to kill him, even though they were both disciples of the same sect.

"Owners of Arrow Martial Souls can track and kill enemies, and their attack power is strong. However, if I get close, I am confident that I can deliver a fatal blow to her." Lin Feng was quite satisfied with the Sword Drawing Technique he had just used. It was as fast as lightning and as powerful as thunder, instantly splitting the arrow without wasting the spiritual torment he endured to cultivate it.

You see, Lin Feng had been practicing the Sword Drawing Technique on the cliff for seven days. He had been using the Dark Martial Soul to enhance his comprehension and cultivation. He only restrained his Martial Soul when his spirit could no longer support it, and then he would cultivate the Floating Light and Shadow Body Technique in the spare time.

"Liu Fei." Lin Feng secretly remembered that face, then fetched some firewood, rubbed a stone with his soft sword to produce flames, and built a fire to dry his clothes.

Not far from Lin Feng, four figures appeared. They should all be disciples of Yunhai Sect.

"There are people over there. Let's invite him to join us. The more people, the more power." One of the young men in green said.

"But I wonder about his cultivation level?" The burly young man grinned, not objecting.

With that, the four walked towards Lin Feng. The only woman among them, upon seeing Lin Feng shirtless, blushed slightly and asked softly, "Hello, could you please put on your clothes?"

Lin Feng glanced at the girl. Although she was not as stunning as Liu Fei, her features were elegant and her skin was delicate and smooth. She could be considered beautiful and refined. In his previous life, she would definitely be considered a great beauty. However, from his memories of his previous life, he knew that the women in this world were indeed much more beautiful than those in his world, perhaps because of their cultivation.

"All right." Lin Feng was not difficult to deal with. On the contrary, having endured hardships since childhood, he was simple and easygoing, and very easy to get along with.

"Is there anything you need?" Lin Feng put on his clothes and asked the four approaching people.

"Well, we want to go to the Black Wind Ridge to hunt demons and beasts, and we'd like to invite you to join us. We'll split the cores we get. Are you interested?" The young man in green explained. Black Wind Ridge was a demon forest located north of Yunhai Mountain Range, extremely vast. Some disciples speculated that Black Wind Ridge might be much larger than the entire Yunhai Mountain Range. Yunhai Sect chose to establish their sect here, probably also considering Black Wind Ridge, the demon forest, because, for martial artists, the demon forest could hone their strength and hunting demons and beasts could provide useful materials in exchange for some useful items for martial artists.

"All right, I agree." Lin Feng almost didn't think about it and agreed. He did want to see what it was like.

"Great, now we have five people. As long as we don't encounter a ninth-level demon beast, we should be fine." The girl was slightly happy to see Lin Feng agree. Among the four, the highest cultivation level was the silent young man in white, at the Eighth Level of the Qi Martial Realm. The other three were all at the Seventh Level of the Qi Martial Realm, and Lin Feng should be at the Seventh Level as well, at least the Sixth.

As for ordinary demon beasts, they are classified into nine levels, corresponding to the Ninth Level of the Qi Martial Realm. Therefore, she felt that as long as they didn't encounter a ninth-level demon beast or a more powerful spiritual demon beast, they would be safe.

"Brother, I'm called Qingyi. This is Senior Brother Han Man, Senior Sister Jingyun, and the most powerful practitioner, Jingfeng." The young man in green introduced to Lin Feng. Han Man and Jingyun smiled at Lin Feng, but Jingfeng, with the highest cultivation level, had a proud and indifferent expression.

"I'm Lin Feng." Lin Feng smiled.

"Waste Lin Feng." Jingfeng spoke for the first time, looking at Lin Feng with a smile that was not a smile. "Jingyun Junior Sister, it seems we are wasting our time. Having him with us is definitely a burden."

The other three had obviously heard of Lin Feng's name. There were too many outer disciples of Yunhai Sect, and they had never seen Lin Feng before, but they knew his name.

Lin Feng frowned, while the other three looked somewhat embarrassed.

"Junior Brother Lin Feng, Jingfeng is very talented and at the Eighth Level of the Qi Martial Realm. He is a bit arrogant, so it's better not to argue with him. Just pretend you didn't hear anything. Acquaintances are fate, let's go together." Han Man was more straightforward and hearty, saying.

"Yes, what Senior Brother said is right." Qingyi and Jingyun also agreed. Jingfeng, on the other hand, snorted coldly, but didn't say much.

Seeing the sincere gazes of the three, Lin Feng felt a slight fondness and did not refuse to go with them. The five of them crossed several peaks and arrived at Black Wind Ridge together.

"Lin Feng, Black Wind Ridge is boundless. Perhaps only the core disciples or sect elders know how big it is. We can only operate on the periphery and not go too deep. You are weaker in strength, so stay close to us." Han Man reminded him.

Lin Feng nodded slightly. He knew that Han Man was straightforward, so he definitely didn't mean anything sarcastic by saying that.

Black Wind Ridge was complex in terrain, full of grass, trees, and thorns, and the trees were extremely dense, suitable for hiding. It was a paradise for demons.

"A fifth-level demon beast, the Qingfeng Wolf, catch it." Han Man suddenly spoke, and a pair of cold eyes could be seen in the bushes not far away.

Qingyi stepped forward, and the long sword on his back instantly unsheathed. The sword was like moonlight, pouring like mercury, swift and shadowy, penetrating everything.

"Ch!" With a light sound, the long sword in Qingyi's hand pierced into the Qingfeng Wolf's brain, ending the fifth-level demon beast.

"The Qingfeng Sword Art against the Qingfeng Wolf is indeed wonderful." Han Man laughed heartily and went forward to help Qingyi collect the prey, the core of the fifth-level demon beast.

"It's just a fifth-level demon beast." Jingfeng's voice sounded somewhat disdainful and indifferent.

Lin Feng heard this and shook his head secretly. It was just an Eighth Level Martial Artist, although he was more outstanding than ordinary martial artists, he could not be considered a genius, let alone be arrogant and look down on others.

After collecting the core, the group continued on their way. They encountered demons every now and then, but these demons were not above the seventh level

 and were easily dealt with.

"Haha, the bag is getting heavier. We must have thirty or forty demon cores now. The harvest is good." Han Man, with his strength, carried the bag and felt the increase in weight, couldn't help but grin.

"But we have already entered tens of thousands of meters deep into Black Wind Ridge. The demons we encounter next may become stronger. Be careful and retreat if necessary." Qingyi reminded.

"Understood." Han Man responded, but as soon as he finished speaking, his gaze froze.

"An eighth-level demon beast, the Rampaging Ape." Watching the huge figure appear in front of them, Han Man muttered to himself. The Rampaging Ape was extremely violent, incredibly strong, and could tear apart tigers and leopards. It was considered one of the most powerful demons.

"Jingfeng, it's up to you." Jingyun looked at the young man in white beside her. An eighth-level demon beast, no one here could deal with it except him. Jingfeng was much stronger than them.

"Hehe, Jingyun, why the rush? It seems that there is someone here waiting to reap the benefits without doing anything. Do you really think there is a free lunch?" Jingfeng glanced at Lin Feng and said in a harsh tone.

Lin Feng sneered. Did he want a free lunch? The reason he hadn't acted was simply because Han Man and Qingyi always rushed ahead of him, not letting him take action. If he really encountered a crisis, he would naturally not stand idly by. But now, this person pushed him out in the face of an eighth-level demon beast, which was extremely sinister. After all, in his eyes, Lin Feng was just a waste. Facing an eighth-level demon beast, a waste like him would only end up dead.

"Jingfeng, what do you mean? Apart from you, there is no one else here who can deal with an eighth-level demon beast. Are you trying to kill Lin Feng by sending him out?" Qingyi heard something unusual in Jingfeng's words and was somewhat unhappy.

"Wanting to share our demon cores without lifting a finger, is there such an easy thing? It would be better for him to die, one less person to share with." Jingfeng sneered.

"Jingfeng, since we are here together, we should advance and retreat together. Lin Feng believes in us, so let's go together." Han Man was also displeased.

"Hmph, you can protect him yourself. I don't want to raise a waste for nothing." Jingfeng snorted coldly, took a few steps back, and by this time, the Rampaging Ape had already arrived in front of them.

"Let me try." Lin Feng took a step forward. An eighth-level demon beast was equivalent to an eighth-level martial artist. He wanted to see if he could handle it.

"No, you can't handle an eighth-level demon beast." Jingyun was a little anxious. "Jingfeng, you are too much."

Upon hearing this, a cold look flashed across Jingfeng's face. He looked at Jingyun's graceful figure and smiled evilly. If not for your looks, I wouldn't be with these wastes.

"Let me help you." Han Man threw down the demon core and came to Lin Feng's side.

"Count me in." Qingyi did the same.

"And me. The three of us should be able to barely hold off the eighth-level demon beast, right?" Jingyun prayed silently in her heart.

"Overestimating yourselves." Jingfeng sneered. The Rampaging Ape was extremely violent and strong, far beyond what several Qi Martial Realm Seventh Level martial artists could handle.

Lin Feng looked at the several people standing in line with him, feeling a slight warmth in his heart and a gentle smile in his eyes.

Rubbing his nose, Lin Feng weakly said, "Perhaps, I might be able to handle this demon beast after all."
