Chapter 274: Return! The Hunt Ends!

"Roar!"The Sky Swallowing Dragon Python, furiously roaring, whistled as it flew out, violently coiling towards Ling Feng.

This human, daring to leave a scar on its noble body, enraged the Sky Swallowing Dragon Python to the extreme.

Swoosh!

The Sky Swallowing Dragon Python, like a bolt of thunderbolt lightning, was about to devour Ling Feng’s entire body in one gulp!

Just at that moment, a streak of purple light, silent and stealthy, had already approached the Sky Swallowing Dragon Python, and burrowed into its body through the bloody wound.

In this hair-trigger moment, Zi Feng finally took advantage of the situation and completed his mission.

"Devour the Lifespan!"

Zi Feng’s body flickered with a faint purple glow, like tendrils reaching out, rooting into the flesh and blood of the Sky Swallowing Dragon Python.

The next moment, the heart of the Sky Swallowing Dragon Python beat violently once.

"Thump, thump!"

Suddenly feeling extremely fatigued, the massive body of the Sky Swallowing Dragon Python "thumped" heavily onto the ground.

Its limited intelligence couldn’t comprehend why it suddenly became so exhausted, as if all its strength had been drained.

Then, its Qi-Blood, its flesh and blood, began to drain away bit by bit, shriveling.

When it realized that a purple foreign object had penetrated its body, it was already too late!

The massive body of the Sky Swallowing Dragon Python convulsed violently a few times on the ground, then, as its life force dissipated and its physical strength was rapidly drained, it lay on the ground, barely breathing, quietly waiting for Death’s arrival.

"What tremendous life force, exhilarating! Truly exhilarating!"

Zi Feng burst into laughter, the life force of a Fifth-rank Demon Beast, even stronger than that of a Human Clan warrior like Yue Zhonglian at that level.

After all, although the Human Clan cultivates much faster than Demon Beasts, their lifespan doesn’t compare to that of Demon Beasts. A Divine Origin Realm human warrior might live two to three hundred years, but a Fifth-rank Demon Beast has a lifespan of nearly a thousand years.

"Zi Feng, you’ve had enough, quickly share the life force with me!"

Ling Feng’s voice came through, he and Zi Feng were in mental sync, able to give commands through their minds.

"All right, Master!" Zi Feng, delighted, flew out from the wound of the Sky Swallowing Dragon Python. At this moment, the Sky Swallowing Dragon Python had aged immensely, its snake skin shed all over the ground, barely clinging to its last breath.

This was all thanks to Zi Feng’s previous shell-shedding evolution using the body of an Earth Fire Flame Ghost, otherwise it might not have been able to drain the life force of a Fifth-rank Demon Beast so quickly.

"Sigh..."

Having received a share of Zi Feng’s life force, Ling Feng finally regained some physical strength, held the Ten Directions Annihilation slowly standing up, and step by step walked up to the Sky Swallowing Dragon Python.

"Clang!"

A sword strike, no flair, quickly pocketing the Demon Core of the Sky Swallowing Dragon Python.

"Roar!"

With a resentful roar, the massive tail of the Sky Swallowing Dragon Python heavily smacked the ground once, losing its last bit of energy, ending its tragic life...

"Now is the time to use the Eight Desolate Body Forging Technique, to absorb the bloodline power of this demon beast."

A flicker of excitement flashed in Ling Feng’s eyes, the first time cultivating the "Eight Desolate Body Forging Technique" and extracting the bloodline of a Fifth-rank Demon Beast, he wondered what level his constitution could reach after cultivation.

Battle!

Battle!

In the Heavenly Position Mountain Range, students from the Heavenly Position Academy were everywhere, engaged in death battles with the fierce, bloodthirsty demon beasts.

Only through the battles of blood and fire could a martial artist truly break free from their cage and become a genuine powerhouse.

Soon, three days passed.

All students gradually returned to the meeting point.

When Ling Feng returned, all the disciples from the East Courtyard’s Yellow Character Sect had already gathered, not a single one absent!

"Everyone’s back, not bad!"

Devil Instructor Leng Jianfeng, seeing Ling Feng arriving late, smiled faintly.

He had been worried that Ling Feng, thinking too highly of himself, might have ventured alone into danger and perished in the Heavenly Position Mountain Range, which would have been a great pity.

Beside Leng Jianfeng stood a graceful woman, the beautiful instructor Su Qingxuan.

As the "homeroom teacher" for the Yellow Character disciples, Su Qingxuan also came to welcome her students back, fully accomplished!

"Finally back!"

Su Qingxuan sighed with relief, feeling some uncontrollable anxiety when she saw that only Ling Feng had yet to return.

"Brother!"

When Ouyang Jing and the others saw Ling Feng, they couldn’t contain their excitement and rushed over, surrounding him. Seeing Ling Feng safe and sound, they finally relaxed and burst into laughter.

"I don’t look like someone with a short life, do I?" Ling Feng raised an eyebrow and smiled as he observed his brothers, who had acquired a faint aura of bloodshed after several days of fighting—especially Jiang Xiaofan, whose aura was particularly strong.

This guy was born to be a battle maniac!

"Hmph, this guy hasn’t died yet! Truly a disaster that lasts a thousand years!" Qin Wanwan bit her lip, her words sharp though her expression clearly showed relief.

"Hehe, cousin, just admit you were worried!" Lio Yunfei teased with a raised eyebrow.

"Mind your own business!" Qin Wanwan elbowed Yunfei in the stomach and rolled her eyes, though her face was slightly flushed.

Surrounded by his brothers, Ling Feng quickly walked up to Leng Jianfeng and Su Qingxuan, nodded slightly, and said calmly, "I’ve returned!"

"Coming back this late, I thought you, this reckless fellow, might have challenged a Fifth-rank Demon Beast and gotten yourself killed!"

Leng Jianfeng pretended to be impatient, pouting and said, "Alright, we’ve already tallied up all the scores for the East Courtyard’s students, and we were just missing you, kid. Bring out your demon cores!"

Ling Feng touched his nose; this Devil Instructor had actually guessed correctly.o challenge a Fifth-rank Demon Beast alone, but the one that ended up dead was that unlucky Sky Swallowing Dragon Python.

"Mhm." Ling Feng nodded, took out a beast skin bag from his Spirit Storage Ring, and casually handed it to Leng Jianfeng.

Leng Jianfeng took the bag, opened it, and couldn’t help but twitch his eyelids, exclaiming, "Seventy-two demon cores, and they are all Fourth-rank demon cores!"

"What?"

At that moment, the surrounding students couldn’t help but express their admiration.

"Tsk tsk tsk, worthy of the chief, indeed impressive!"

"Haha, the chief is still the chief! But it’s interesting that the chief has achieved the same result as Lee Bufan."

"Yes, when Lee Bufan first arrived, he tied with the chief. It’s surprising to see them tie again; the two of them truly are evenly matched and it’s hard to say who is better!"

Leng Jianfeng patted Ling Feng’s shoulder heavily, "Good lad, not bad at all. This time our East Courtyard can finally hold our heads high once again."
