The King of Urban Mercenaries-Chapter 1418 - 1422: Dead Fire

The Joyful Union Technique was handed over to Qingfeng. Qingfeng, with her extraordinary talent, quickly grasped the knack, especially when cultivating together with Lin Fei. The Joyful Union Technique showed its miraculous effect, greatly enhancing Qingfeng’s strength.

However, although the Joyful Union Technique has a very powerful effect when cultivating with a man, its cultivation speed without a man is not much different from the cultivation technique Qingfeng originally practiced.

With such a cultivation technique, Qingfeng naturally liked it, and she could stay with Lin Fei all the time. The two were practically inseparable throughout the day, making many disciples somewhat envious.

However, the time to leave had come, so Lin Fei could only stop thinking about Qingfeng to prevent sadness. After saying goodbye to Qingfeng, he also bid farewell to the Sect Leader Senior Brother and then left the Beidou Sect.

Lin Fei left the Beidou Sect. It had been one or two months since his arrival. During this time, Lin Fei’s cultivation had been continuously improving. The first layer of the Demon Refinement Technique involves absorbing Heaven and Earth Qi into the body. The second layer involves circulating and discharging the Heaven and Earth Qi from the body, then constantly devouring Qi from the outside world into the body again. Lin Fei had also completely mastered this.

If faced with opponents in the arena, they would be absolutely shocked, as Lin Fei’s unconstrained use of Heaven and Earth Qi is coupled with such rapid recovery that it would likely astonish everyone.

That’s not all—the third layer of Lin Fei’s Demon Refinement Technique is even more formidable. It directly activates nine major meridians. The first two layers of the cultivation technique are practically custom-made for the third layer. With the body’s strength already sufficient, the third layer could double Lin Fei’s power and accelerate his recovery while further strengthening his body.

Now, Lin Fei had successfully cultivated all three layers to the Great Perfection Realm. He began to advance to the fourth layer. The fourth layer of the Demon Refinement Technique is very difficult. To be precise, it’s quite enduring for Lin Fei now, as it’s both an attack and a defense technique called: Dead Fire.

Two words summarize the goal and significance of cultivating the entire fourth layer: compressing the Heaven and Earth Qi in the body on the surface to form a strange, jet-black flame, which is the Dead Fire.

Dead Fire can incinerate and is unusually eerie, even capable of burning Heaven and Earth Qi!

Of course, this incineration can’t burn the Heaven and Earth Qi in the expanse of the world, as it’s too thin. Even if it could burn, it wouldn’t be possible.

Ordinary Heaven and Earth Qi contains various materials. Only after being absorbed by a cultivator and transformed into pure Heaven and Earth Qi, can it be considered true Heaven and Earth Qi.

Of course, ordinary people absorb these materials daily, and as they age, their appearance changes accordingly. This distinguishes the difference between cultivation and non-cultivation.

’Dead Fire’ is not easy to cultivate. If fully achieved, the body would be covered with Dead Fire, making it impossible for an enemy to approach for close combat due to its formidable damage potential.

In long-range attacks, the Dead Fire can burn Heaven and Earth Qi, which significantly weakens many attacks. In general, Lin Fei must quickly cultivate successfully, thus gaining an additional attack mode and the ability to protect himself.

The recent demon invasion forced him to use the power within his body. However, Lin Fei longed for that power and found it terrifying, akin to a child bullied daily suddenly transforming into an adult who can overpower those bullies. The feeling was so exhilarating that Lin Fei desired to possess such power.

Therefore, after cultivating with Yan Qiubo, Lin Fei immediately sought Qingfeng for ’cultivation.’ In comparison, Qingfeng’s cultivation was not as high as Yan Qiubo’s, but it was still very effective because Qingfeng’s internal power was purer.

As time passed bit by bit, Lin Fei sat on the passenger train heading to New City. Suddenly, a man approached Lin Fei, thinking he was asleep because Lin Fei had his eyes closed.

The man came near Lin Fei and reached into Lin Fei’s pocket. However, Lin Fei’s pocket contained nothing. Lin Fei disliked carrying too many things, thinking if the world were truly peaceful, and money obsolete, he wouldn’t even want to carry any. If true gender equality existed, he wouldn’t want to wear clothes...

Of course, this was somewhat exaggerated. However, on this trip, Lin Fei brought money, a card, a high-tech mobile phone, and nothing else, except for the ring on his finger.

If someone saw the contents of the ring, they would undoubtedly scoff, seeing things like a toothbrush, toothpaste, shoes, clothes, and everything else. Without the Space Ring, Lin Fei indeed wouldn’t carry anything...

The man returned empty-handed but set his eyes on the ring on Lin Fei’s finger. He reached for Lin Fei’s ring, but when he touched Lin Fei’s finger, he let out a scream.

"Oww!!"

The ghostly wailing echoed throughout the train. His hand, having touched Lin Fei’s finger, turned extremely red, and his fingertip showed scorch marks, evidently from being burned.

The passengers looked at the man, who ignored their gazes, continuing to scream loudly. Ten fingers are linked to the heart; he felt as if his entire arm was placed in flames, burning madly. When his fingers accidentally caught onto clothing, they broke off, turning into blackened charcoal.

At this moment, Lin Fei opened his eyes and glanced at the man.

The man, having screamed enough, glared at Lin Fei with fury, shouting, "Kid, you dare play dirty with me?!"

Lin Fei smiled; "Am I playing dirty with you, or are you with me? You tried to steal from me, and I can’t use a little trick in return?"

"Do you know who I am? I am..." the man started but then stopped, remembering his instructions not to speak recklessly, fearing the consequences.

"You’re what, huh? Go on, say it if you have the guts," Lin Fei said with a smile. He had guessed the man was an Ancient Martial Artist; otherwise, how could touching the ethereal Dead Fire instantly burn his fingers?

Lin Fei’s cultivation wasn’t perfect yet. If completely perfected, visible black flames could appear on his body, similar to the visible flame effect of dense primordial energy after pushing nine meridians to their limits.

However, this black flame is much stronger than flame energy, possessing both offensive and defensive capabilities, making it extremely terrifying!!
