Chapter 379: Chapter 141: Slaying the Pampered Maiden in the Gangfeng Forbidden Land, First Success with the True Scripture, Pursuit and Desperate Flight
Explosions rang out one after another, and dust filled the air, but none of it even touched the corner of his clothes.
Seeing this, the young girl’s rage was finally replaced by terror.
She let out a scream, turned, and fled, pushing her Body Technique to its absolute limit, wanting only to get as far away from this fiend as possible.
Unfortunately, in Chu Fan’s eyes, her speed was as slow as a crawling turtle.
In just three breaths, Chu Fan had already appeared behind her like a phantom.
No wasted words, no hesitation. A heavy fist slammed viciously into the small of her back!
"PFFT!"
The young girl pitched forward, fresh blood gushing from her mouth and staining the ground red before her.
She struggled to turn her head, her eyes filled with pleading and fear. "Don’t... don’t kill me... My father is from Medicine King Valley..."
The response was another clean, heavy punch.
The Fist Force penetrated her body, instantly shattering her heart meridians and spine.
The young girl’s body trembled once, the light faded from her eyes, and she slumped limply to the ground, lifeless.
Even at the moment of her death, she couldn’t believe that someone would dare to attack her without hesitation, knowing she was the young miss of Medicine King Valley.
Chu Fan expressionlessly swept his gaze over the two corpses and stepped forward to inspect them.
Noticing that each of them wore an ancient-looking ring, he was slightly taken aback. ’Sumeru Rings? Is Medicine King Valley truly that wealthy?’
’I suppose they amassed this fortune because the various powers in Qing Province all vie to curry favor and make offerings for their Alchemy skills?’
Right now, cultivating the "Nine Heavens Wind Mastery Scripture" was his top priority, so he didn’t dwell on it.
He deftly removed the two Sumeru Rings and put them away, then stored their longswords inside the rings as well.
Then, he picked up the bodies, walked to the cliff’s edge, and tossed them over without a second thought.
Below, the Gangfeng was even more fierce and wild.
While the bodies were still in mid-air, they were sliced and torn apart by countless invisible Wind Blades, instantly turning into a shower of bloody mist and shredded flesh that dissipated into the howling Gangfeng, not even leaving bones behind.
The cliff’s edge returned to "calm," with only the ceaseless howl of the Gangfeng remaining.
Chu Fan wanted to wipe away the bloodstains on the ground, but there was no water here, so he had to give up the idea.
He found a spot where the Gangfeng was at its most biting and sat down cross-legged.
The obstacles were gone. It was time to draw the Innate Wind Seed into his body!
At the cliff’s edge, the Gangfeng still howled, like the wails of a thousand Resentful Souls.
Chu Fan closed his eyes and sank his consciousness into his body. Following the Technique of the "Nine Heavens Wind Mastery Scripture," he tried to sense the ethereal and elusive Innate Wind Seed.
As the Cultivation Technique circulated, his Spiritual Sense spread out around him like tentacles.
But all that responded to him was boundless, savage sharpness!
"CHH-CHH-CHH—!"
The Gangfeng washed over his body, cutting him like countless invisible Divine Weapons.
The Protective Primordial Qi of the Spirit Awakening Realm’s Second Heaven that he had gathered around himself was as fragile as paper mache before this energy, the purest and most violent in the world.
In just three breaths, it let out a mournful cry and completely disintegrated.
His robes were instantly shredded into strips of cloth that scattered and flew away!
Only the Black Gold Silk Shirt he wore underneath, gleaming with a dark luster, stubbornly resisted the Gangfeng’s erosion, protecting his vital chest and abdomen.
But his exposed hands, arms, neck, and even his face were completely exposed to the Gangfeng.
The Wind Blades, powerful enough to make an ordinary Divine Power Realm Cultivator treat them with extreme caution, merely produced a strange "CHH-CHH" sound as they struck his skin, leaving behind only white marks, unable to even break the surface.
The power of the Vajra Undying Body was on full display!
This was the greatest reason he dared to face the Gangfeng directly and cultivate this unparalleled Cultivation Technique.
Without special protection or a powerful physique, even someone with a Divine Power Realm Cultivation would surely be eroded by the Gangfeng and suffer grievous injuries if they stayed here for long.
Chu Fan cast aside all distracting thoughts, immersing his entire mind in the perception of "wind."
He silently recited the Mantra in his mind, his Mental Power spreading out like a fine spiderweb, trying to capture that unique strand of Spiritual Mechanism—the one containing the aura of a primordial source—from within the chaotic and disorderly Gangfeng.
Time slowly slipped by amidst the howling wind.
One hour, two hours... three hours passed!
Chu Fan remained as still as a rock.
His mind was highly focused, searching amidst the endless violence, which consumed a massive amount of his mental energy.
Each time his Spirit Array Map recovered, he activated it immediately.
Although it only lasted for fifteen breaths, his Perception Power would skyrocket tenfold during that time!
Finally, at the very instant the Spirit Array Map activated once more, he "saw" it...
Deep within the chaotic Gangfeng energy, which was saturated with an aura of destruction, there was a tiny, yet utterly pure, point of Cyan Light.
The Cyan Light danced with a lively and ethereal grace, like a lone star in the night sky.
It seemed to possess a simple Spirituality, completely different from the surrounding Gangfeng that knew only destruction—it was the "Innate Wind Seed" described in the "Nine Heavens Wind Mastery Scripture"!
’Now is the time!’
Chu Fan roared in his heart. Following the True Scripture Technique, he used his own Essence Blood and Primordial Qi as a guide, combining it with the Profound Mysterious Mantra to form an invisible thread of Mental Telekinesis, which he carefully coiled toward the point of Cyan Light.
"BZZZT!"
The Innate Wind Seed trembled abruptly, squirming like a startled fish as it instinctively resisted the external restraint.
Chu Fan felt as if his extended Mental Telekinesis had struck a slippery, untouchable glass barrier.
With a gentle twist, the Cyan Light broke free from the pull of his Telekinesis, instantly melting into the surrounding, violently churning Gangfeng and vanishing in the blink of an eye.
His first attempt to draw the Innate Wind Seed into his body had ended in failure!
Unfortunately, his current Cultivation had just barely crossed the threshold of Mortal Transformation. His Sea of Consciousness had not yet opened, and he couldn’t even condense a complete Divine Sense, only able to muster a bit of blurry, scattered Mental Power.
Trying to capture the highly spiritual "Innate Wind Seed" with such a foundation was naturally an astonishingly difficult task.
But Chu Fan’s face showed no sign of dejection. On the contrary, his eyes grew even brighter.
If this Innate Wind Seed were so easy to capture, then the "Nine Heavens Wind Mastery Scripture" wouldn’t be worthy of being called a divine scripture.
He took a deep breath of the air, sharp with the energy of the Gangfeng, suppressing the faint ripples of failure in his heart. He closed his eyes once more, settled his mind, and began a new round of sensing and capturing.
