"Buzz!"

The Qinglong Cauldron hovered above Jiang Feng’s head.

Golden light descended.

A dragon-shaped phantom circled around Jiang Feng.

"Bang bang bang!"

A series of explosive sounds rang out on the golden light barrier.

Jiang Feng saw a barefoot monk appear within a hundred meters, the Zen Staff in his hand erupting with a terrifying Great Wheel Talisman.

The dharma seal penetrated forward, striking directly at the soul.

Ordinary sword skills and magic defenses couldn’t withstand it at all.

Unfortunately for him, the golden light barrier released by the Qinglong Cauldron this time was reinforced by the Five Elements Array, as though layered with restriction arrays. This made the layer of golden light before Jiang Feng capable of even intercepting soul attacks.

"Bang bang bang!"

Three consecutive Soul Hammer Strikes, and Jiang Feng was unscathed every time.

"Not good."

"Cyan Snake Monster, you’re deceiving me!"

The barefoot monk’s expression changed drastically.

He sensed that his figure was being locked on by Jiang Feng’s Dragon Bone Bow.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

Jiang Feng immediately fired three arrows in succession.

Each arrow could pierce through gold and crack stone.

Never missing its target.

"Clang clang!"

"Pfft!"

The barefoot monk defended with all his might, his Zen Staff releasing a layer of scripture talismans, but unfortunately, the scripture talismans only blocked two arrows before the third arrow pierced through them.

The arrow shadow struck the barefoot monk.

He cried out in pain.

He instantly used his kasaya to cover his body.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

"Pfft pfft pfft!"

Jiang Feng fired three more arrows in rapid succession.

The barefoot monk’s greatest strength was that the Buddhist magic he cultivated had the effect of delivering critical strikes to the soul.

That was a means to subdue demons and suppress evil.

Used to deal with evil cultivators, demon cultivators, tribulation cultivators, and the like.

But in the end, he lost his mind, and under the bewitchment of the Cyan Snake King, rashly attacked Jiang Feng for the Qinglong Cauldron, not knowing that Jiang Feng had already fully integrated the Five Elements Array with the Qinglong Cauldron.

The kasaya on his body was a defensive magical artifact.

Though Jiang Feng’s arrow shadows heavily injured him, they failed to take his life on the spot.

He lunged forward.

Just in time to see the Cyan Snake King fleeing in panic.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

After felling the barefoot monk, Jiang Feng’s arrow shadows shot toward the Cyan Snake King as well.

The Cyan Snake King immediately used Earth Escape, trying to burrow away.

"Boom!"

But with restriction arrays on all sides of the underground palace, he hadn’t gone more than a few meters when the arrow shadows caught up, forcing him to resurface.

"Bang!"

Just as his head emerged, it was struck by a splitting, explosive pain, nearly making him collapse right there.

The barefoot monk, feeling swindled and used by the Cyan Snake King—otherwise, how would he have ended up like this—endured the pain and struck at the Cyan Snake King with his Zen Staff as he saw the latter attempting to escape.

The Cyan Snake King, lacking the Qinglong Cauldron’s defense, was caught off-guard by the barefoot monk’s sudden assault and took a heavy fall.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

"Pfft pfft pfft!"

Three more arrows from Jiang Feng shot forth.

Trying to seize the chance to end the Cyan Snake King’s life.

"Rip!"

But to his surprise, the Cyan Snake King reverted to its original form, its massive body whipping around powerfully. Though the arrow shadows pierced into it, it still managed to burrow underground again, dashing toward the exit.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

Jiang Feng pursued relentlessly.

Arrow shadows kept flying.

The fleeing Cyan Snake King was left covered in wounds, forced aboveground once more, transforming into a little snake over three meters long, darting toward the exit.

"Hiss hiss!"

Suddenly, a green figure shot forward.

"Pa!"

Jiang Feng slapped out his palm.

That green figure was the little cyan snake.

Seeing its grandfather in danger, it couldn’t help but ambush Jiang Feng.

Sadly, with Jiang Feng’s Tenth-Layer Qi Condensation cultivation, it was impossible for the attack to succeed—he slapped the little cyan snake flying in an instant.

Jiang Feng glanced at his own hand.

It was covered by a layer of cyan snake cold qi, his palm frozen by a layer of frost, but with a casual flex of his fingers, the cold qi instantly dispersed, as though it had been fully refined away.

He ignored the feeble little cyan snake.

He continued chasing the big cyan snake.

The Dragon Bone Bow’s arrow shadows flew without pause; he was determined to slay the big cyan snake today.

At the same time, he glanced at his system panel.

Attempting to judge, via Fortune Points, just how dangerous his current situation was. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Name: Jiang Feng

Fortune: 6,111,912

Cultivation Technique: Yang Technique (Minor Achievement)

Skills: Flame Saber (Mastery+) Wind Control (Mastery+) Five Elements Array (Great Perfection) Sword Control Technique (Perfection+) Thousand Faces (Great Perfection) Mysterious Nether Spear Technique (Great Perfection)

Realm: Qi Condensation (Tenth Layer)

Divine Power: Immortality

Killed Li Yang, causing the Royal Family to lose its threat.

Killed the Three-Eyed Divine General, Elder Wang, and a group of Divine Sect disciples, causing the Divine Sect to collapse, even forcing the entire sect to flee to the Sea of Blood, where they were crushed by the Cyan Snake King and a group of loose cultivators.

The Li Family collapsed.

The Divine Sect was Divine Sect in name only.

Jiang Feng’s Fortune Point total soared during this stage.

Earlier, from the Cyan Snake King’s mouth, he’d learned that the Qinglong Cauldron’s true power could only be unleashed in conjunction with the Five Elements Array, so he immediately upgraded the Five Elements Array to Great Perfection State.

Afterwards, he raised Thousand Faces and Mysterious Nether Spear Technique to Great Perfection as well.

Even Sword Control Technique was elevated to the Perfection Realm.

Before all this, Fortune Points had accumulated to nearly three million.

Now, they had risen to over six million.

Obviously, by narrowly escaping death at the hands of the barefoot monk and turning the tables, he had averted disaster; that was why his Fortune Points had skyrocketed.

If he hadn’t upgraded those skills, his accumulated Fortune Points would now exceed ten million, and he might already have Twelfth-Layer Qi Condensation cultivation.

Unfortunately, Fortune Points came in waves.

It wasn’t something that happened overnight.

After killing Li Yang and entering Dragon Capital, Jiang Feng immediately poured the first wave of Fortune Points acquired into the Five Elements Array and Mysterious Nether Spear Technique, then upgraded Thousand Faces and Sword Control Technique as well.

Nobody knew about these skill upgrades except Jiang Feng himself.
