King of Gods-Chapter 31: Sky Forest Murderous Intent

What is going on? Zhao Feng felt that his left eye was jumping and his blood seemed to undergo a certain change which allowed him to quickly absorb the energy.

It was certain that Zhao Feng’s ability to absorb medicine surpassed that of normal people. This was because a normal person needed three attempts to absorb one pouch of Body Strengthening Powder. However, Zhao Feng had only absorbed it once and all the energy had disappeared.

Zhao Feng cringed when he thought that his two thousand silver had been spent in such a short period. It was good though, that all the energy had been absorbed by him.

He was sire that the Metal Wall Technique’s training speed had increased dramatically.

“What kind of mutation has happened to my body? My absorption speed has greatly increased.” Zhao Feng felt that his own body held secrets he did not know. He could only confirm that all of this had something to do with his left eye.

The next day, Zhao Feng first cultivated in the Air Crossing Breathing Technique a few times, then resumed using the Body Strengthening Powder.

In only three days, his Metal Wall Technique reached the second level. However, his six thousand silver worth of Body Strengthening Powder had all been used up.

The first two levels of the Metal Wall Technique did not improve Zhao Feng’s overall strength by much. His power had increased, but his defense had only increased by about twenty-some percent.

This was mainly due to the fact that Zhao Feng’s foundation being very strong. If he had reached the second level before he reached the fourth rank of the Martial Path, then the increase in strength would have been very obvious.

“Only the third level allows for one’s body to become as hard as metal, and block weapons. This allows one’s defense to greatly increase.”

Zhao Feng wanted to reach it, but his Body Strengthening Powder had been used up, and his training speed in the Metal Wall Technique went back to the speed of a turtle.

Money, money, money, Zhao Feng sighed. All his savings were gone. He was now broke.

He took out the Air pill that he had bought a few days ago. The use of the Air pill was to refine one’s Inner Strength, which helped Martial Artists a lot.

Zhao Feng immediately ate the pill and started to cultivate in the Air Crossing Breathing Technique. The Air Crossing Breathing Technique was so outstanding that Zhao Yufei’s grandfather even took out the Metal Wall Technique to exchange for it. And with the mental energy he gained from his left eye, Zhao Feng could cultivate for twice as long as he could before, therefore allowing for his Inner Strength to increase at an immense speed.

Zhao Feng once again felt heat come from his left eye which allowed his absorption rate to increase.

***********************

One day and one night later...

Zhao Feng let out a breath as he raised his palm. A faint green glow spun slowly in circles, bringing a powerful pressure with it.

His Inner Strength had reached peak fourth rank unknowingly. Because the Metal Wall Technique and Air Crossing Breathing Technique both proceeded at the same time, Zhao Feng’s foundation began to get even more stable.

He calculated that there were six to seven days left until the tournament.

“The Metal Wall Technique is at the peak of the second level and my Inner Strength is comparable to the peak of the fourth rank. My cultivation is almost at the peak of the fourth rank as well,” Zhao Feng evaluated.

With this strength, he had a 40-50% chance of reaching the top three. However, to win, Zhao Han only had a 30%, as well as a 70% chance of a draw by relying on the speed of Lightly Floating Ferry.

Not good enough! Zhao Feng shook his head, the chance to win was too low.

Whether it was to defeat Zhao Han or to reach the top three, he had to increase his strength. However, using normal ways to cultivate, his cultivation and Metal Wall Technique would be hard to improve.

“It looks like I have to go to the Sky Cloud Forest again.” Zhao Feng said after thinking deeply. He immediately retrieved a long rectangular box within the room.

A silver bow lay within the wooden box. This silver bow was the one Zhao Feng had bought at Sun Feather City. Only true Martial Artists could truly utilize its strength.

With the bow in hand, Zhao Feng left the Zhao sect. He then bought some items in Sun Feather City before heading towards Sky Cloud Forest.

As soon as he left Sun Feather City, three shadows flashed by the city gates before also leaving. Two of these black-clothed people had black skin and looked similar.

“Big brother! That kid is probably going to Sky Cloud Forest,” one of the black-clothed people said urgently.

“Very good. It is the perfect place for us to do our job. This plan ensures that this kid will definitely die!” the big brother replied, full of killing intent.

********************

Zhao Feng could train Lightly Floating Ferry whenever he liked when there was no one around.

He was as light as a feather floating through the wind, sometimes double jumping in midair.

Finally, today, Lightly Floating Ferry reached the low level.

Teng! Teng!...

In this open area he felt free like a bird.

I am only at the fourth rank of the martial path and have such feeling. If I surpass the ninth rank, will I be able fly?, Zhao Feng thought excitedly.

Half an hour later, Zhao Feng finally reached Sky Cloud Forest.

The endless forest looked like the open mouth of a deadly beast. No one knew what lay at the deepest parts of Sky Cloud Forest. All Zhao Feng knew was that the further one went, the more likely one was to meet deadly beasts. Opportunities and danger intertwined with each other.

Zhao Feng cautiously scanned the area with his left eye for signs of unknown beasts. He occasionally saw a few strong deadly beasts about forty km out.

Zhao Feng took out his silver bow and put his Inner Strength into it. The string started to tremble with power.

Sou----

One silver arrows shot through the forest and hit a two hundred kg wild pig, two-hundred meters away.

Tonk!

The arrow blasted through the pig’s eye and head, spraying blood everywhere. It struggled for a while before falling down. The two-hundred kg pig would be a tough fight if fought head on by cultivators of the third rank.

Zhao Feng didn’t pick up the pig’s corpse. He was just practising his skills with the bow. His real target was wild beasts. Only by killing wild beasts would he gain the silver he needed for cultivation resources.

“The power of this silver bow is not bad. Every arrow’s strength is on par with the full strength hit of a fourth rank within three hundred steps. My arrows also have poison coated on them. If I hit a vital spot it is the same damage as a fifth ranker.” Zhao Feng was very pleased with himself. Being an archer, Zhao Feng’s killing and survival ability was very high.

Clap, clap, clap… “Not bad, not bad. I never thought my target this time would be an archer.” A clapping sound came from in front of him.

“Who!” Zhao Feng was shocked.

He saw that on a treetop, two hundred meters away, stood a slim-as-bones gray-clothed man. This person was like a ghost hanging on a tree. If one wasn’t careful enough, one would think he was a rag.

Through his left eye, Zhao Feng found that the person’s aura was converged in a weird way, making the it turn to nothing.

Through his first inspection the enemy had reached the fifth rank of the Martial Path and had also learned a skill similar to Hiding Air Technique, as well as a tracking skill.

“Who? Hehe…you’re going to die soon, haven’t you realized?” the gray-clothed man mocked. He did not seem to have any intentions of attacking in a short amount of time. However, his eyes had always been locked on to Zhao Feng.

Zhao Feng’s hand held three poison arrows as he faced off the assassin.

Why didn’t he make a move? Zhao Feng felt weird. Soon he realized why.

“Hahaha…kid, come to your death!”

A few hundred meters behind him, two men, clothed in black, were coming. They had both reached the peak of the fourth rank.

Two-pronged attack!

Zhao Feng’s expression changed. However, the man that gave him the most dangerous feeling was the one in front of him.

“It is time to end it now.” A curved blade appeared in the gray-clothed man’s hand.

What should I do?, Zhao Feng thought urgently.

At this moment, from deep inside the left eye, came a familiar thumping sound. Under this danger, Zhao Feng fully pushed his left eye into top vision and reaction speed.

“Kill!”

The two men behind him were now one or two hundred meters away. Their every action slowed down in Zhao Feng’s eyes.

However, the gray-clothed man in front stood still like wood, not moving at all. Zhao Feng’s left eye was still locked onto this man as he was the most dangerous one of all.

One hundred meters!

The two black-clothed men were laughing hysterically. They seemed to be already picturing how Zhao Feng would be cut into pieces. However, Zhao Feng was still calm.

Suddenly, Zhao Feng’s left eye felt the blood and Inner Strength stirring within the gray-clothed man’s body…

At that moment, Zhao Feng’s eyes flashed dangerously as he put the three poisonous arrows onto his bow.

Sou! Sou! Sou!-----

The three arrows were arranged in a strange pattern, like a triangle that shot towards the gray-clothed man.
