All beasts submit, and the peerless imperial princess is about to defy the heavens!

Xue Feng looked around and said, "When I was running, I also observed the surrounding terrain. This place seems to be indistinguishable from other directions. No matter which way you go, it's endless. It's very strange."

Feng Ning nodded, "I've noticed that too. So if we keep going blindly, we might get trapped here."

Lin Tanyu didn't think anything of it. "It's alright, take your time. This place is relatively safe for now. Maybe other places are more dangerous than this. Going out might not be a good thing."

After thinking about it, the two agreed with her.

For some reason, it was getting dark, and they needed to find a safe place to spend the night.

The forest becomes even more dangerous at night.

As Lin Tanyu said, other places are not necessarily safe either.

At this moment, Yao Feibai is facing danger.

He was fighting a giant two-headed python. Although the python was only a third-tier demon beast, it had two heads that could attack separately, so he was practically facing two third-tier demon beasts.

Moreover, Yao Feibai has a metal spiritual root, while this two-headed python is fire-type, so his attribute is directly countered, and he was in a very bad situation.

He was covered in blood, and it was impossible to tell whether it was from the two-headed python or his own.

Ignoring the blood on his body, he grabbed his sword and charged forward.

He rushed towards that direction at lightning speed, his hands never stopping as he unleashed one sword move after another.

The two-headed python attacked while dodging, and its speed was even faster than his.

Neither of them benefited.

However, the two-headed python is robust, and its scales are like armor, making it difficult to pierce.

If this drags on any longer, and Yao Feibai runs out of spiritual energy, he will only be able to wait for death.

The situation is now unfavorable to him, and he can only try to find a way to break out as soon as possible.

Moreover, he vaguely sensed that his swordsmanship seemed to have improved once again.

[Fine, let's give it our all. Dragging this out is a death sentence anyway, so we might as well use all our strength and maybe we can fight our way out.]

Then, he took out a formation plate, activated it with spiritual power, and threw it at the two-headed python.

The binding formation formed instantly, trapping the two-headed python inside.

Yao Feibai had gathered his spiritual power and sensed that the sword technique was about to erupt violently.

He forced himself to calm down, cut his hand with the sword, and the blood was instantly absorbed by the sword, causing him to tremble even more violently.

He roared, "Kill!"

His aura then surged, and an enlarged phantom of a sword appeared behind him, exuding a majestic and awe-inspiring presence.

The two-headed python also sensed this powerful force and felt a bit scared, wanting to retreat.

However, it was trapped in the confinement formation and could not escape.

It could only watch helplessly as that powerful phantom slashed towards it.

It struggled to escape, attacking even more fiercely.

The next moment, the sword's phantom pierced through the formation and struck the two-headed python.

He chopped the two-headed python into three pieces!

The sword's afterimage struck the ground, creating a long trench that was chilling to behold.

When Yao Feibai saw that the two-headed python was dead, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. But once he could relax, he could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground with a thud.

At this moment, his spiritual power was exhausted; that move had used up all of his spiritual power.

He made the right bet.

He has also improved his swordsmanship to a higher level, and has now reached a minor level of mastery.

He even vaguely felt that the aura he had just experienced seemed to have surpassed the Lesser Completion level, carrying a hint of sword intent.

Swordsmanship, from the very beginning of its practice, involves the stages of beginner, master, minor achievement, and major achievement.

If you're lucky, you can cultivate sword momentum, and after sword momentum comes sword intent.

Currently, only a very small number of people in the entire Xuanling Continent have mastered the sword aura.

As for sword intent, the number of people who can cultivate it on the entire Xuanling Continent can be counted on one hand, and Elder Zhao of the Fourth Elder is one of them.

Nian Zhao was a born swordsman, the kind of person who was fed by the heavens. He comprehended sword intent in his teens and mastered the Free and Unfettered Sword Intent before he was twenty, becoming the youngest Nascent Soul expert in the entire Xuanling Continent.

To reach this level of cultivation, hard work alone is not enough; comprehension and talent are also essential.

This is why Long Fei was willing to make a deal with Nian Zhao.

Sword techniques are easy to learn, but to cultivate sword momentum and sword intent, one must rely on comprehension.

Moreover, this kind of comprehension and talent does not necessarily require mastery of swordsmanship to achieve.

When Nian Zhao had already mastered the basics of swordsmanship, he had already grasped the essence of sword intent.

He always took Nian Zhao as his role model and worked hard to improve his swordsmanship. He went to Tianxuan Sect because of Nian Zhao.

But he also knew that his talent wasn't that great, and he might not be able to attract Nian Zhao's favor.

As expected, Nian Zhao did not treat him differently, nor did he accept him as a disciple.

Fortunately, he was lucky enough to meet Feng Ning, which gave him the opportunity to get to know Nian Zhao.

Nian Zhao hadn't given him any guidance, but he still exceeded his own expectations.

He lay on the ground, ate a pill, and began to heal his injuries and restore his spiritual power.

It's too dangerous now; he doesn't have much time to think about anything else.

He collected the two-headed python's corpse, found a slightly safer cave, made some simple arrangements, and settled down.

He took out the Spirit Gathering Array disc, and dense spiritual energy quickly gathered around him.

He silently thanked Feng Ning as he cultivated.

This time, we really owe it to her formation. It has to be said that for sword cultivators like them, having a supporter who can replenish their strength at any time is truly twice as effective.

Alchemists, weapon refiners, talisman masters, and formation masters are all excellent support skills.

Beast tamers can contract spirit beasts. Although their own strength is average, they can rely on their contracted beasts to carry them through battles, making them quite powerful.

In comparison, these sword and saber cultivators can only rely on their own efforts.

If it weren't for the pills and formations that helped him recover, he wouldn't have been able to replenish his spiritual energy and recover so quickly.

Thinking about this, he couldn't help but start to worry.

I wonder how Feng Ning is doing, and whether she is in danger.

Any monster that comes out here is at least a third-tier beast, so I'm afraid her side isn't very safe.

But then he shook his head.

He should worry about himself. Feng Ning is not only an array master, but also a sword cultivator. Her swordsmanship is no weaker than his.

There shouldn't be any problems.

Similarly, Feng Ning was also worried about Yao Feibai.

She had just tried, but the communication stone couldn't be used in the Xuanwu Secret Realm, so they couldn't contact each other now and could only rely on luck.

She could only hope in her heart that he could turn the danger into safety.

If she had known this would happen, she should have made more formations and had them prepare more.

We can't find it now, and we can't give it to him.
