Venerable Martial Emperor

Upon hearing this, Xu Feng's facial expression changed slightly, then he was shocked in his heart, "An expert from the Profound Sect?"    

Wang Bin had already rushed into the courtyard and shouted, "They are the experts of the Profound Sect. Currently, all the experts of the Profound Sect have returned. They have heard that you have killed Lau Yang. The entire sect was furious. It was said that even the elusive chief disciple had declared that he would kill you! "    

Upon hearing this, Xu Feng's brows slightly sank. He slowly opened his mouth and said, "The chief disciple of Profound Sect has declared that he wants to kill me? He was the Martial Essence Stage Expert, and also the expert ranked 103rd in the Hundred Battle Ranking. I'm afraid he won't come looking for me to kill him! "    

Wang Bin nodded his head repeatedly, but his expression didn't seem relaxed at all. He continued, "The chief disciple of Profound Sect didn't say that he would kill you personally, but... someone from Profound Sect has already stepped forward and asked me to fight you on the life-and-death stage."    

"Who?" Xu Feng asked with a frown.    

"Hee Yanxi, a powerful existence ranked one hundred and fifty-second in the Hundred Battle Ranking, a Half-step Martial Essence Stage warrior. He is only a step away from the Martial Essence Stage, but his strength is much higher than a Martial Arts Ninth Layer warrior. A Martial Arts Ninth Layer warrior like Lau Yang... In his hands... He might not be able to take even one strike!"    

"He's actually this strong?"    

Xu Feng's expression turned slightly ugly when he heard this.    

After defeating Lau Yang, he was now ranked in the top 300 of the Hundred Battle Ranking rankings. He had won four battles in a row, and he was able to be challenged by someone with a gap of one hundred and fifty.    

As for this Hee Yanxi, he was ranked 152, which was a perfect match for him!    

However, his opponent's strength was actually at the Half-step Martial Essence Stage. This was troublesome.    

One should know that when one's cultivation base exceeded the Martial Arts Ninth Layer, the Yuan energy seed would begin to condense in one's body.    

When the Yuan energy seed appeared, it would cause the Yuan energy to become incomparably solid. It was like the change between gas and liquid. The difference in the energy contained within was even more terrifying.    

Even if it was a Half-step Martial Essence Stage, the Yuan energy seed had yet to fully form, but the Yuan energy had already undergone a huge change. It was completely different from a Martial Arts Ninth Layer. In a rush, its power would be so great. It was definitely not something Xu Feng could fight.    

"I heard that the experts of Profound Sect are coming here. Should we hide?" Wang Bin saw Xu Feng's solemn expression. He knew that Xu Feng had no confidence in fighting Zuo Lianshan. He wanted Xu Feng to hide.    

After all, the opponent was a Half-step Martial Essence Stage warrior, and Xu Feng was only a Martial Arts Eighth Layer warrior. It wouldn't be shameful for him to hide.    

However, right at this moment, a large number of footsteps approached from afar and headed towards the courtyard.    

Xu Feng raised his brows, his eyes darkened, and he said, "There's no way I can hide!"    

After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the courtyard.    

Just as he walked out, he saw a group of people approaching from afar. One of them was a young man with a medium build.    

The young man who was leading the group had a restrained aura, and his steps were steady. He could no longer sense the aura of a Martial Arts Ninth Layer warrior. This young man was indeed an existence that had surpassed the Martial Arts Ninth Layer!    

This young man was Hee Yanxi.    

A group of people walked over and tightly surrounded Xu Feng.    

Xu Feng's eyes swept around and found out that not all of the people present were experts from the Profound Sect. Many of them had the intention to watch the show. With just one look, they could tell that some of them were Zi Yang disciples who had heard the news and rushed over to watch the show.    

Hee Yanxi walked out from the crowd and looked at Xu Feng. He said slowly, "It's you, the one who killed Lau Yang from the Profound Sect?"    

Xu Feng nodded and said, "So what if it was you?"    

"Follow my life and death arena. I will make you atone for your crimes with your death!" Hee Yanxi said slowly. His tone was cold and full of killing intent.    

"As expected, I told you that Hee Yanxi came to kill Xu Feng!"    

"I have heard about this Xu Feng. His cultivation base isn't very high, but he has some ability. He once defeated four experts of Profound Sect, and even killed the cold-faced Demon, Lau Yang, who has a very high reputation in Profound Sect."    

"If I were this Xu Feng, I would either kneel down and beg for mercy and save my life, or ask his sect to join in, so that Profound Sect wouldn't dare to act recklessly!"    

Wang Bin hastily pulled Xu Feng's sleeve. He said anxiously, "Don't agree with him. You know how to concoct pills. We can rely on the Pill Hall. Anyone in the outer court will have to give the Pill Hall some face. The Profound Sect will never dare to touch us again!"    

Pill Hall?    

If it was in the past, they might be able to rely on the Pill Hall. But now, Hong Qingxuan was in the Pill Hall. And for the sake of the Four Ends Replenishment Pill, his relationship with Pill Hall might not be good. If he chose to seek refuge with them now, it would be a problem for them to accept him or not. Even if they accepted it, he was afraid that they wouldn't be willing to do it for him. He would go against the Profound Sect.    

Instead of being constrained by others, he might as well rely on himself to create a new world!    

When he thought of this, Xu Feng's eyes became firm. He slowly opened his mouth and said resolutely, "Alright, since you want to enter the life and death arena, then I will follow you to the life and death arena!"    

When he said this, Xu Feng's tone became impassioned. There was no fear on his face, only courage that soared to the sky. When the surrounding people looked at him, all of them revealed a look of admiration. Of course, after the expression of admiration, it was disdain.    

"This Xu Feng is really stupid. He actually dared to accept the battle of the life and death arena!"    

"Two people on the life and death arena, one lives. This Xu Feng won't live for long!"    

Wang Bin's facial expression changed dramatically. He didn't understand where Xu Feng got the courage to accept the challenge.    

However, Xu Feng still had a calm expression on his face. Once he finished speaking, he changed the topic and said: "But you, the Profound Sect, are so overbearing. I have beaten one of them. Another one, kill Lau Yang. You, Hee Yanxi, come again. But if I kill you, Hee Yanxi, will someone from the Profound Sect come and fight me to the death? "    

"How dare you!"    

Xu Feng's words caused Hee Yanxi's face to sink, and he instantly became furious. "How dare you say that you can kill me?"    

"When Lau Yang forced me onto the life and death arena, he didn't think that he would die!" Xu Feng's eyes turned cold, and his Qi didn't seem to be at a disadvantage.    

Hee Yanxi looked at Xu Feng with disdain and pity in his eyes. There were also some strong men who looked at the weak as if they were ants, and said arrogantly, "It seems like you don't know about Half-step Martial Essence Stage, and all of you who are still in the Martial Arts Ninth Layer. What kind of gap is there between us? However, since you have said so... I promise to fight you on the life and death arena... Regardless of life or death, it will be the end of everything! "    

"In twenty days, I will fight you!" When Xu Feng heard this, he immediately spoke. After twenty days, he would be able to advance his cultivation base to the Martial Arts Ninth Layer, and he was confident that he could do so.    

Who would have thought that Hee Yanxi would directly shake his head and refuse? He said, "There's still half a month until the outer court trial begins. We have to settle this before the outer court trial begins. I'll give you ten days to prepare. Otherwise, I'll forcefully drag you onto the life and death arena! "    

A trace of heaviness flashed across Xu Feng's eyes when he heard this. Ten days was too short of time. If he agreed so easily, he was afraid that he would be courting death!    

After saying that, Hee Yanxi turned around and left. However, there was still a voice that came back, "You have no room to refuse. In these ten days, don't even think about escaping Martial Arts Academy. Otherwise, with the Profound Sect's influence, it wouldn't be difficult to find out about your family's background. Unless you are from a major family in Profound Wind City, my Profound Sect will annihilate your entire family. It won't be difficult either! "    

Talking about family!    

Xu Feng's eyes suddenly changed. In his eyes, killing intent was thick. He slowly said, "Ten days later, I will definitely kill you!"    

After everyone had dispersed, Xu Feng returned to the courtyard and frowned.    

Wang Bin followed into the courtyard with a worried expression. He said, "What should we do? It's hard to defeat a Half-step Martial Essence Stage warrior. Even if you run away, you won't be able to escape. They actually want to deal with your family!"    

Xu Feng's family members were not far from the Profound Wind City. Although there was a Martial Essence Stage Expert like his grandfather in the family, they were not far away from the Purple Garden City. There were also some Martial Essence Stage Expert in the Profound Sect, and most likely, there were many Half-step Martial Essence Stage warriors as well. The other experts were even more powerful. Obviously, the Xu family... He was no match for the Profound Sect.    

If he escaped, the Xu family would surely face a disaster.    

If he didn't escape, the great battle ten days later would certainly be very difficult.    

Right now, unless he could reach the Martial Arts Ninth Layer, unleash the complete Surging Waves Seven Layered, or even the Flaming Palm, he would be able to defeat Hee Yanxi.    

However, it would be very difficult to raise his cultivation base to the Martial Arts Ninth Layer within ten days. After all, even if he consumed a Four Extreme Restoration Pill, it would still take him more than twenty days to raise his cultivation base.    

Time!    

What Xu Feng lacked the most right now was time.    

What could he do to raise his cultivation base to the Martial Arts Ninth Layer within ten days?    

Consuming the Four Ends Restoration Pill was definitely not possible, because the Four Ends Restoration Pill was different from the Boulder Body Tempering Pill. Although the effectiveness of the Boulder Body Tempering Pill would gradually decrease, it would still be effective.    

But a Four Extremes Restoration Pill could only be consumed once. The effects were difficult to stack.    

Furthermore, in the Medicine Pill, there was only one type of Medicine Pill that could raise one's cultivation from the Martial Arts Eighth Layer to the ninth stage.    

Xu Feng couldn't help but furrow his brows and ponder. If the Medicine Pill couldn't do it, then there was only one way.    

Essence Crystal!    

The Essence Crystal was a crystal that was slowly formed from the convergence of heaven and earth origin energy.    

This crystal contained an endless amount of Yuan energy that was like a tidal wave.    

If an ordinary martial artist were to obtain one, they would be able to carry it along with their voice, breathe, and absorb it. Their cultivation would definitely improve by leaps and bounds.    

However, this Essence Crystal was extremely precious. It was difficult to find even a single piece of it in the entire Purple Garden City. There was definitely one in the Profound Wind City, but it was also extremely rare. It was extremely difficult to obtain one.    

"Wang Bin, do you know where we can find an Essence Crystal in this Profound Wind City?"    

Xu Feng suddenly asked.    

Wang Bin was stunned when he heard this. "Essence Crystal, what do you want such a precious thing for?"    

Xu Feng waved his hand and said, "You don't need to worry about that. Just tell me where I can get it."    

Wang Bin pondered for a moment, then slowly opened his mouth. He said, "I don't know much about Essence Crystal, but I know. I've never paid attention to it before... However, I heard that there is a Celestial Mystery Tavern in the Profound Wind City. There is an Essence Crystal business in the Celestial Mystery Tavern, but there is no Essence Crystal Vein in the Profound Wind City. Therefore, almost all the Essence Crystal in the Profound Wind City came from this Celestial Mystery Tavern. "
