  This fist contained an incomparably tyrannic force; even an elephant would be smashed to death in an instant if it connected!

  Bei Feng stood his ground and pushed the flying dagger's speed up another notch! The flying dagger turned into an illusory stream of golden light as it slashed down at the Eight Extremes Fist expert!

  "I don't believe that you won't dodge!"

  Yu Huan gritted his teeth and continued to follow through with his attack. Even if that meant that he would be sliced by the golden dagger, his punch was not so easily received, either!

  This was definitely an exchange which benefited neither side. They were essentially playing chicken, seeing who would retreat first. Yu Huan was already left with no path of retreat. If he pulled his punch back now, it would mean death!

  In that moment, all schemes and ploys were thrown out of the window. He did not even stop to consider who would be benefiting the most from such an exchange!

  Just as the force from the punch neared, Bei Feng suddenly twisted his body like a snake as he flapped the wing on his back powerfully. With an agile move, he directly escaped from the confining cage of the fist wind and dodged to the side!

  The golden flying dagger was now slashing down at a speed of five times the speed of sound! At this point, it was only barely possible to make out a thin golden line flashing past Yu Huan's body!

  Bei Feng and Yu Huan's body exchanged positions and stopped a distance apart from each other. All these took a long time to describe, but the entire exchange had happened in a mere one or two seconds! It was so fast that by the time the expert from the Martial Practitioners Control Department rushed over, Yu Huan had already been slain by Bei Feng!

  Xie Sanyan was truly frightened this time! He had watched with wide eyes as numerous Fake Dan experts were felled. In that instant, he lost the confidence to battle with Bei Feng. Without even turning his head to look back, he charged towards the collapsed palace hall!

  But in this kind of open terrain, how could his speed be comparable to Bei Feng's?

  Bei Feng flapped his wing and rose into the air like a huge roc, rushing out with impressive might. Locking onto his target, he soared forward and swooped downwards swiftly.

  Xie Sanyan's body slackened and fell from the sky, creating a mini dust cloud as he hit the ground.

  Bei Feng also floated down like a feather.

  Without any delay, he took out a bunch of Lava Python galls and stuffed it into his mouth to recover his blood and Qi energy. He had been moving at four times the speed of sound constantly, expending a large amount of his blood and Qi.

  If he was only fleeing at four times the speed of sound, he would have plenty of time to munch on the Lava Python galls to replenish his strength slowly. But this time, he had been chasing and battling intensely all the way!

  While facing two opponents with strength equivalent to Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts, Bei Feng's mental power was strained to the maximum and his mind was focused on every detail of the battle. He did not dare to be distracted, let alone have the time to pop snake galls into his mouth!

  'That was close! I almost ended up hurting my foundations!'

  Bei Feng felt extremely fortunate in his heart. He hadn't been thinking of anything else earlier, and only focused on chasing down the four experts. As a result, he had drained almost all the blood and Qi energy in his body without him realizing!

  The two pools of blood and Qi energy stored in the dual apertures of his arms had already been drained as well. Fortunately, although he looked quite heavily injured this time, he only needed to readjust his condition for a few days to recover completely.

  If he had ended hurting his foundations, that would really be troublesome. It would require an inestimable amount of time to repair damaged foundations!

  The numerous battles had caused Bei Feng's mental power to grow, causing his entire person to improve gradually from the inside out as well!

  Bei Feng continuously swallowed a few dozen Grade 3 Lava Python galls and slowly circulated his blood and Qi, allowing the energy to spread through his entire body.

  'Those four came up here before me, but they obviously had not found the Martial King's tomb yet. In that case, where is the Martial King's tomb?'

  Bei Feng furrowed his brows lightly. This place was simply too massive. Before the Martial King's tomb was found, it could be anywhere!

  Bei Feng began to move up the nearly dried river. The forest here was not as luxuriant as the one beneath the waterfall. It was only littered sparsely with few trees as well as some unknown plants which glowed gently with starlight.

  At this moment, a group of bats numerous enough to cover the sky, each as big as a human skull, had swarmed over to the waterfall, engaging in a large battle with the Xiantian practitioners there!

  This swarm of bats did not produce any sound as they flew, and two sharp fangs protruded from their mouths. Their flying speed was also exceptionally shocking!

  In just one wave of assault, over a hundred Xiantian Lords out of the few hundred gathered were killed!

  The uncountable bat swarm attacked relentlessly and no matter how many of them fell, behind them was an endless column of successors, charging in to suck the blood from these living beings!

  A bat broke out from the attacks around it and sank its fangs into the neck of a Xiantian Lord. In an instant, the bat's body swelled dramatically!

  "Die!"

  His face twisted with pain, the Xiantian Lord smashed a palm onto the bat, causing it to burst apart! The engorged body of the bat exploded, sending fresh blood all over the place!

  The other bats grew agitated as they smelled the scent of blood. Countless bats dove madly to the ground and lapped up the spilled blood.

  The countless bats also surged towards the Xiantian Lord who was now drenched in blood. As the saying went, even an elephant could be bitten to death by ants if there were enough of them. Although this Xiantian Lord was not like an elephant, these 'ants' were not ordinary ants, either!

  Within a mere two, three minutes, the bats dispersed from the Xiantian Lord's body, leaving behind a dried corpse!

  All his blood had been sucked clean, not leaving a single drop!

  When those among its ranks fell, the other bats would flock over and suck the corpse dry as well!

  This bat swarm came suddenly, and left as quickly.

  In a short moment, they flapped their wings and flew up the cliff!

  Bei Feng who was far away suddenly twitched his ears and looked back at the enormous swarm of bats flying in his direction and over his head.

  'Such a large swarm of bloodsucking bats! What do they live on normally?' Bei Feng thought with astonishment. From where he stood, he could see the sharp fangs on these bats' mouths very clearly. From the blood dripping from those fangs, it was obvious that these were not fruit bats!

  Bei Feng began to follow this swarm of bats. At the same time, he began adjusting his blood and Qi to deal with the injuries left behind from his battle.

  After following them for half an hour, the road before him ended, leaving only a huge dark cave and a wide river which flowed out from it.

  All the bats flew into the cave without any hesitation. Bei Feng stopped outside and took out a piece of Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King meat which he threw into the river. Then, he stood to the side and waited.

  A minute passed.

  Five minutes went by.

  There were no strange movements from the river, and the meat was completely unharmed.

  'Looks like there isn't any of those tiny silver fishes here.'

  Bei Feng loosed a sigh of relief and without further hesitation, he extended his wing and flew right into the cave!

  The cave was completely black, and one could not see their fingers even if they extended their hands before their eyes. Bei Feng flew along very slowly and, at the same time, maintained a mental power projection around him which covered everything within thirty meters of him as a precaution.

  'What a strong blood and Qi aura!'

  There weren't any forked roads in the tunnel, and there was only a straight path forward. After an inestimable amount of time, he began to feel a powerful blood and Qi aura ahead which rose menacingly into the sky!

  'En? Wait! This blood and Qi aura does not seem to come from living beings!'

  Bei Feng did not feel any signs of life from this blood and Qi aura. Instead, it felt cold and dreary, like death.

  He continued onward until surprisingly, light appeared. An incredibly vast cavern appeared before his eyes and this time, there was a fork in the path.

  On one side was the riverbed which had flowed for countless years, and the other went in the direction of the deathly Qi which he had felt earlier!

  As the saying went, the skilled were filled with guts. Bei Feng showed no hesitation and directly stepped on the path to the deathly Qi!

  This path did not contain any signs of water, and appeared exceedingly dry in contrast to the other. It was over a hundred meters wide and showed obvious marks of human construction activity.
