Not long after Dugu Aoyun appeared, he organized the disciples and launched an assault on the demon beast fortress.
This time, the demon beasts — who had been revelling wildly just moments before — could clearly feel the pressure. Facing the human army led by Dugu Aoyun, they had lost their absolute advantage.
Even the demon beast commander wielding the massive hammer was pinned down by Dugu Aoyun. Although demon beasts relied on their innate physical advantages and were generally slightly stronger in combat than humans of the same realm...
...when facing top geniuses like Dugu Aoyun, their advantage had long since vanished. In the face of absolute talent, the upper hand belonged to the humans.
Even that demon beast commander — who had already transformed into a half-human form — had his brows tightly furrowed, roaring continuously as he was forced into retreat step by step by Dugu Aoyun, the Lingyun Sect's number one disciple, completely losing the regal bearing he had shown before.
"Ugh, what a pain — that damn woman..." In the distant forest, the pockmarked man stood atop a great tree, watching the billowing smoke rising from the direction of the fortress, muttering under his breath.
"Brother Shura, with your strength, if you could get in there, you'd definitely get your share of the spoils." Sighing, he turned his gaze to his side — only to find it completely empty, with no sign of Chu Feng whatsoever.
"Brother Shura? Brother Shura?!" That sent the pockmarked man into a panic. Chu Feng had been right there just moments ago — how had he simply vanished? Alarmed, he began scanning every direction, searching for any trace of Chu Feng.
But no matter how hard he tried, he could never have guessed that Chu Feng had already soared into the air. Using the Void Flight Technique to take to the skies, Chu Feng surveyed the fortress from above with perfect clarity. The defenses around the fortress were quite formidable, but in order for the Mystic Medicine to bask in sunlight and grow better, the top had been left open.
And using the thick smoke kicked up by the great battle to conceal himself, Chu Feng descended from the sky. While the chaos of the battle raged outside, he was the first to step inside the fortress, sweeping all the Mystic Medicine clean.
"Wow, I'm going to be rich this time." Landing inside the fortress, Chu Feng was so excited his heart was about to leap from his chest.
Within the dense undergrowth, fluorescent lights flickered densely and ceaselessly. Low-grade Mystic Medicine, mid-grade Mystic Medicine, high-grade Mystic Medicine—all combined, there were several thousand of them. Even the high-grade Mystic Medicine, which was worth a fortune, numbered over a hundred.
Such a quantity was truly staggering. No wonder the demon beasts outside had sworn to guard this place to the death. This was truly a massive treasure trove, presumably the fruits of their labor gathered over a long time.
"Chirp chirp chirp"
The very instant Chu Feng stepped foot here, the thousands of Mystic Medicine suddenly transformed. From small, unassuming plants hidden among the grass and flowers, they morphed into terrifying monsters, baring fangs and brandishing claws as they attacked Chu Feng.
"Heh, my dear Mystic Medicine, you're really throwing yourselves into my arms here!"
Chu Feng chuckled, reaching out with a grab. His Mystic power transformed into a giant palm that slammed down, making the very earth tremble, crushing several Mystic Medicine to death with a single slap.
With a great sweep of his arm, he swept horizontally, and dozens of Mystic Medicine were beaten to death by Chu Feng, devolving back into harmless, mindless little plants.
But even this rampant slaughter felt too slow to Chu Feng. So, he simply deployed the power of a barrier, enveloping a large swath of the immortal grass. He then sealed the barrier, crushing those plants to death until they reverted to their original forms before finally stopping its contraction.
"Squeak squeak squeak~~~"
Under Chu Feng's sweeping assault, those Mystic Medicine that had been so fierce moments ago actually began fleeing in all directions, desperately hammering against the barrier of the fortress. The sight was rather amusing, because these Mystic Medicine were actually crying for help.
But outside, everything was already in complete chaos—no one was paying attention to what was happening inside the fortress. So these Mystic Medicine had no choice but to let Chu Feng sweep them all away, being exterminated bit by bit, ultimately reverting back to mindless Mystic Medicine before being tucked away into Chu Feng's robes.
