Within this Sword Testing Forest, whether one wishes to advance or retreat, it is equally dangerous and equally difficult.
The Second Prince, with several of his followers, expended a great deal of effort and finally withdrew to the Sword Region.
He searched with his gaze and quickly locked onto the huge rock where Chu Feng was hiding.
When the Second Prince saw someone’s head, an elated smile immediately spread across his face, feeling that he was indeed in great luck. This time he could not only enter the Ten Thousand Sword Sect and become an entry-level disciple, but he could also take the chance to kill Chu Feng in one fell swoop.
This was an excellent opportunity to show off in front of his father, the Emperor.
"Hmph, the Crown Prince was merely born a year earlier than me and had the dumb luck of obtaining Chu Feng’s Nine Yang Sword Veins, which granted him his glorious status today. If I, the prince, could have the Nine Yang Sword Veins, I would definitely be more outstanding than the Crown Prince."
How ruthless the royal family is!
The Second Prince was full of envy toward the Crown Prince and at the same time he felt a trace of dissatisfaction.
Because there is only one Imperial Throne, yet there are many who wish to sit upon it. The Crown Prince is definitely the one who will inherit the Imperial Throne in the future, while the Second Prince, who longs for the throne to an extreme degree, must act as though he has no interest in it for the sake of his own life.
Living such a restrained and servile life is extremely difficult.
The Second Prince dreams of changing his own destiny.
Openly competing for the throne with the Crown Prince is something the Second Prince definitely dares not do. However, performing well in front of the Jianyun Emperor before the Crown Prince ascends the throne is a very good method of contention for the throne.
When the right time comes, a few underhanded schemes could be used to topple the Crown Prince.
At that time, wouldn’t the new selection for Crown Prince be him, the Second Prince?
Thinking of this, the Second Prince hastened his pace, and as he looked at Chu Feng, his eyes filled with an even stronger killing intent.
Under the rock, Chu Feng was like a timid worm, hiding there quietly in a seated posture with his eyes closed.
If one looked carefully, they would notice that when the Sword Qi in the void slashed down near Chu Feng’s area, it suddenly sped up, resembling lightning strikes. This miraculous phenomenon, however, did not attract anyone’s attention.
Because the speed of the Sword Qi’s descent was already extremely fast, and the speed within this area was even faster; outsiders simply wouldn’t notice it.
Why does the Sword Qi in this area fall faster?
Because after Chu Feng received the inheritance of the Qiankun Sword Technique, he had already comprehended the First Level, the Fast Sword Technique.
It was by virtue of being reborn with a strong Soul Power that he could influence the surrounding Sword Qi with his thoughts.
It could be said that Chu Feng, with just the First Level of the Fast Sword Technique he comprehended, could easily break into the Reverse Sword Zone, or even have the ability to storm into the Yin Yang Sword Area.
Every genius within the Sword Testing Forest, including even the most impressive Young Master Shangguan, found it impossible to control the descending Sword Qi around them. Only Chu Feng had this ability.
Because the Sword Testing Forest was originally built by the first Sect Master.
And Chu Feng had received the sword technique inheritance from the first Sect Master, Duan Jiutian. Controlling the Sword Qi within the Sword Testing Forest, naturally, was no longer a hard task.
Moreover, Chu Feng’s soul was the soul of the Eternal Life Pill Master, which was extremely powerful.
Therefore, upon comprehending the First Level of the Qiankun Sword Technique, he was able to influence the Sword Qi around him.
"Chu Feng, you crawling insect, today I, the prince, will make sure you lie dead on this spot! To oppose me is to meet this end!" The voice of the Second Prince was exceedingly cold, filled with hatred towards Chu Feng.
After fighting in the Sword Testing Forest for three days, the Sword Qi within his body was severely depleted.
Not just him, but other geniuses as well.
However, each of them at least possessed the cultivation of an Intermediate Sword Master, having opened two sword meridians, which could cycle and replenish each other endlessly. Therefore, the remaining Sword Qi in their bodies was still not insignificant.
Chu Feng, who was comprehending the Supreme Sword Skill, was startled awake and abruptly opened his deep and profound starry eyes.
He slowly stood up, his gaze cold as he stared at the Second Prince and others who were surrounding him, his expression indifferent, "Hand over all the red flags, and I shall spare your lives!" Chu Feng’s attitude was even more arrogant than that of the Second Prince and his men.
Upon hearing Chu Feng’s words, the Second Prince nearly stumbled and fell, fuming with anger to the point of almost smoking from his head.
"Haha... You vermin, you actually want this prince to hand over the red flag to you?"
The Second Prince laughed in extreme anger, the killing intent in his eyes growing even stronger.
This was akin to a majestic lion being threatened by a mere mosquito. Chu Feng, with his mere Beginner Level Sword Master cultivation, was seen as nothing but cannon fodder in the eyes of the Second Prince.
He could be dismissed with just a flick of a finger.
Outside, the Second Prince might still be concerned that Chu Feng would use some powerful Golden Talisman Elixir. But now, in the Sword Testing Forest, no elixir or weapons were allowed.
Every talent must fight and struggle by relying solely on their own strength.
No external help is permitted.
"You lot fight, while I personally slaughter this trash!" The Second Prince’s face twisted savagely, old and new grudges boiling over; he couldn’t wait to slay Chu Feng.
The rest of his followers loudly complied, constantly shifting their positions to avoid the Sword Qi that could slash down at any moment.
They dared not stay too close to each other, opting to keep some distance.
Because staying too close would result in an increase in the number and intensity of the Sword Qi slashes.
The Second Prince pointed his finger like a sword and swiped at Chu Feng.
Two streaks of Sword Qi, nearly half a foot long, slashed towards Chu Feng. There was no fancy show of technique, only raw and ferocious power.
The intention was to instantly sever Chu Feng into three parts.
This also showed that the Second Prince’s comprehension of sword techniques was not particularly profound.
"You want to kill me? I don’t know where you get your courage and confidence from. In my eyes, Your Highness, you’re nothing but disposable!"
Chu Feng replied with a cold smile, moving fluidly like a wandering dragon, the footwork under his feet incredibly intricate.
As he dodged, faint red Sword Qi emitted from the tips of Chu Feng’s fingers. Any of these was at least ten times weaker than the Sword Qi unleashed by the Second Prince.
There was no helping it; this was the vast difference in their cultivations.
The faint threads of red Sword Qi moved as fast as lightning, parrying one of the two Sword Qi slashes coming towards him.
As for the other one, Chu Feng successfully dodged it.
Just at that moment, a streak of Sword Qi slashed down from the void.
Chu Feng shifted his position and pointed out two fingers at the Second Prince, sending two weak red streaks of Sword Qi at terrifying speed towards the Second Prince’s eyes and groin—both vital and extremely vulnerable parts of the body.
The Second Prince was both shocked and enraged to find that, though Chu Feng’s Sword Qi was weak, its speed was as fast as lightning, and the angles of the attack were extremely tricky.
Even more deadly was that the streak of Sword Qi from the void was unexpectedly slashing down towards the Second Prince’s celiac plexus.
This scared the Second Prince out of his wits.
"Damn it! This accursed Sword Qi couldn’t have come at a worse time!"
It didn’t appear earlier or later, but just when Chu Feng was attacking the Second Prince. And within that vicinity, instead of targeting Chu Feng, it slashed towards the Second Prince.
