Venerable Martial Emperor

At the right time, Xu Feng's loud shout resounded throughout the mountain range. It stirred up the enthusiasm of all the practitioners! Their attacks became more and more ruthless. Lu Shun's ribs had been broken countless times. His face was covered in blood, but he just stood in front of the Essence Crystal Vein. They were blocking the two hundred strong army!    

"Guards of Lu Family, guards of Zhou family, stop the battle. Lu Zhou and his family were ambushed by someone. If they are not careful, they should retreat back to their families and report the situation to the patriarch. Otherwise, the Essence Crystal Vein will be in danger! "    

Using the last of his strength, Lu Shun injected his Yuan energy into his voice and spread it across the entire battlefield. Then, he slowly fell to the ground. This was the last thing he could do.    

Lu Shun's body was already in shambles. Countless Yuan energy martial arts were concentrated on her body. Due to the excessive consumption of Yuan energy, his Dantian had automatically shattered. Even if he was saved, he would still be a cripple!    

"I can also be considered a loyal dog of Lu Family!"    

Xu Feng originally wanted to take the opportunity to kill Lu Shun, but after observing the injuries on his body, he stopped attacking. Lu Shun was no longer a threat to him!    

Xu Feng relied on his wisdom to kill Zhou Fuyuan and cripple Lu Shun without wasting a single soldier. In this war, Xu Feng had obtained the preliminary victory!    

If anyone bullies me, I will kill them!    

In the world of cultivators, there was no kindness. There was only bloody slaughter. Only when Xu Feng keeps resisting will he be in the Lu and Zhou families, whose hands cover the sky. Survival. Therefore, Xu Feng would never give up any chance, no matter if it was because he wanted to become an assassin of the Asura Hall. Suppress! Or... He was trying to snatch the Essence Crystal!    

However, there was still a price to pay in this massacre. Those cultivators had suffered heavy casualties. Some of them had already died on the ground, while some of them had their limbs broken by Lu Shun. They had lost the qualification to fight for the Essence Crystal.    

Lu Shun had already been dealt with. The cultivators didn't delay any longer. They all rushed into the Essence Crystal Vein. Xu Feng didn't follow them. He waited until all of them had entered the ___ before slowly walking in.    

The matter didn't stop there. These cultivators had come for their own benefits. Now that they had entered the Essence Crystal Vein, they saw a basket full of Essence Crystal. The greed in their eyes became even stronger!    

"I found these Essence Crystal first. I want them. You have no objections, right?"    

A cultivator wearing a black robe with a pair of vicious eyes swept across the cultivator in front of him. He shouted loudly. Xu Feng couldn't sense the depth of this cultivator's cultivation, which proved his strength. He was absolutely above the Late Period of Martial Essence Stage, amongst all the rogue cultivators. * Hong Long...... *    

"I'm afraid it's not right for me to obtain so many Essence Crystal just by opening my mouth!"    

Some of the people in the crowd voiced their dissatisfaction, which was also the thoughts of many cultivators. Surviving under Lu Shun's attack, their target was the Essence Crystal. Now that the Essence Crystal was right in front of them, who would willingly give it to them?    

"Hmph!"    

The black-robed cultivator's Mental Strength had already locked onto the narrow tunnel. Naturally, he had already noticed the person who spoke.    

His figure flashed, and his speed was unbelievably fast. In the blink of an eye, he had arrived in front of the cultivator who had spoken. He struck out with his palm, aiming straight for his chest, and turned it into a claw. He directly tore apart his clothes and passed through his body. He took out his heart!    

"So ruthless!"    

Xu Feng was secretly shocked. Every move of this black-robed cultivator was deadly. In an instant, he killed all those who had objections. The dozen or so cultivators on the scene exclaimed in their hearts. Luckily, they didn't have the impulse to stop this black-robed cultivator from monopolizing the Essence Crystal. Otherwise, the heart in the hands of the black-robed cultivator would be their heart!    

"Junior Brother Xu Feng, I suddenly understand you."    

Zhao Loong looked at the scene in front of him and whispered into Xu Feng's ear. He finally understood how difficult it was for Xu Feng to survive among so many experts. He could also understand why Xu Feng was so active.    

When people were weak, if they did not rely on their wisdom to survive... What right did they have to become strong? Even if Xu Feng was a genius, whether it was in martial arts or alchemy, offending the Lu Family would only lead to death. If Xu Feng were to clash head on with Lu Shun, who was lying on the ground, he would be able to kill Xu Feng!    

Xu Feng smiled and didn't say anything. He was the only one who knew how difficult it was for him. If he told others about it, they wouldn't feel the same way.    

"Do you all have any objections?"    

He crushed the heart in his hand and unleashed the pressure from the black-robed cultivator. The pressure was so strong that none of the cultivators dared to breathe. They could only leave with unwilling eyes.    

This was only the outer region. There were indeed quite a number of Essence Crystal in the basket, but the quality was not as good as the ones in the Purple Sun Secret Realm. Xu Feng did not feel reluctant to leave either. He believed that if he continued walking, he would find a better quality Essence Crystal.    

Along the way, he constantly found corpses of cultivators. These were the result of cultivators fighting over the Essence Crystal. The weaker ones had already been slaughtered, and the stronger ones had obtained the Essence Crystal that they dreamt of.    

Although it had only been three days, because the Zhou family had been mining day and night, they had already opened up a few kilometers of the ore vein. As they went deeper and deeper, the Yuan energy became denser and the quality of the Essence Crystal became better.    

And the slaughter here was even crueler!    

Those who could come here were mostly Late Period of Martial Essence Stage warriors. Naturally, no one was willing to give up. If there was a disagreement, a battle would occur.    

The aftershock caused the Essence Crystal on the ore vein to fall continuously. Even the entire ore vein was shaken, showing signs of collapsing!    

"Heroes, look, this is the Essence Crystal that we have collected. The quality here is much better than the ones outside. The Yuan energy contained here is several times denser. There is hope for me to break through to the Middle Period of Celestial Essence Stage this time!"    

Scarface Man placed a large pile of Essence Crystal in front of him, his eyes filled with excitement. Ever since they entered the cave, they had been following closely behind Xu Feng. When they saw the Essence Crystal everywhere, they naturally threw themselves into the fight for it.    

"This is what you should get. Hide these Essence Crystal and don't take any more. Otherwise, you will only get yourself into trouble!"    

If one was strong and took a lot, it meant that one had the ability. However, if one was weak and wanted to take more, it was impossible. Xu Feng understood the reasoning behind this and gave Scarface Man a word of advice.    

"The few of you, put down the Essence Crystal in your hands!"    

One! A voice suddenly sounded. Looking in the direction of the voice, it was a middle-aged man in his thirties. He had an inch of hair on his head, and the expression on his face was extremely unfriendly!    

"Damn it, who do you think you are!"    

Scarface Man had been living in the forest for a long time, and he had the air of a bandit. Now that he was being shouted at, he naturally shouted out in dissatisfaction.    

Even Xu Feng frowned. Those who could come here... There was no need for them to fight over some Essence Crystal. The real reason for the fight was because of the massive amount of Essence Crystal. The one in Scarface Man's hand was not even a hundredth of the one on the ground!    

"Just based on my strength alone, I am stronger than all of you!"    

The middle-aged man shouted loudly. His Yuan energy was already ready to be unleashed. He threw out a punch, and it transformed into a huge fist shadow, wanting to devour Xu Feng and the others in one bite!    

"Arrogant!"    

Xu Feng could tell that this middle-aged man was only a Late Period of Martial Essence Stage warrior. Now, with just his cultivation base being a little higher than theirs, he wanted to bully them. He was truly arrogant!    

Xu Feng's hands were fluttering in the air at an extremely fast speed, giving people an illusion that they couldn't see clearly. The Prison Suppressing Fist produced a clear sound in the air, then it collided with the middle-aged man's fist.    

However, when the middle-aged man's fist collided with Xu Feng's fist, it was like a paper tiger. Although it was powerful, it didn't have any effect, and it gradually dispersed in the air. As for Xu Feng and the others, they weren't injured at all!    

"Ah! How could this be!?"    

The Prison Suppressing Fist's momentum didn't stop. In the blink of an eye, it had arrived in front of the middle-aged man. Eight punches, a total of eight punches, all of them had completely exploded in front of the middle-aged man's chest.    

The middle-aged man was still in shock, but he had already been sent flying and crashed into the mine, creating another loud sound. His chest had sunk deeply, and it was unknown how many of his bones had been broken!    

This also meant that he lost the qualifications to compete in the Origin Crystal Mineshaft!    

"Go to hell, daring to snatch this father's things!"    

Scarface Man was naturally not a kind man. There were times when people fought with each other. Seeing the middle-aged man lying on the ground and not getting up, he held a machete in his hand and took an arrow step forward, wanting to kill him under the knife!    

"Stop, forget it!"    

Xu Feng stopped Scarface Man from acting impulsively. This middle-aged man didn't do anything wrong. The people who came here only wanted more Essence Crystal. Since they didn't lose their Essence Crystal, there was no need for them to kill again.    

Scarface Man was the farmer, Xu Feng. He and his subordinates had obtained a lot of benefits. He kept the machete and kept cursing at Xu Feng, "You have met two great heroes. Otherwise, I would have cut you in half!"    

They had already reached the end of the Essence Crystal Vein, but Xu Feng had no intention of collecting the Essence Crystal. The Essence Crystal here was indeed better than the ones outside. But... It was far from being as crystal clear and brilliant as the Essence Crystal he obtained in Sikong Cave.    

"Let's go! Let's go back!"    

After squatting down and thinking for a while, Xu Feng decided to temporarily leave Essence Crystal Vein.    

"Junior Brother Xu Feng, what do you mean?"    

Zhao Loong was also confused. Before coming here, Xu Feng had said that he would bring him to collect Essence Crystal. Now that the Essence Crystal was right in front of him, he wanted to leave. Anyone who saw this would be confused. Even Scarface Man felt that Xu Feng might have been fighting at the entrance of the mine just now. * Hong Long...... *    

The corner of Xu Feng's mouth raised slightly. He smiled faintly and slowly explained, "This is only a few miles away from the mine. Who knows how big the mine is? The Zhou family of Lu Family would definitely not give up just like this. It was very possible. Their army will arrive before dawn and begin mining on a large scale! "    

Xu Feng's meaning was very clear. None of them were fools. After listening to what Xu Feng said, their eyes sparkled. All they saw was Essence Crystal.
