In the evening, Longtan Pond is still as noisy as in the day. Although the small businessmen and hawkers have already dispersed, the accompanying couples are arriving one after another.
In the past, the holy place where the powerful sword emperors practiced has now become a place for lovers to meet for trysts.
Looking at every couple hiding in the darkness and whispering, Ye Feng couldn't help but shake his head secretly.
Nowadays, most people lack the spirit of diligent study and practice. It is precisely for this reason that not only there is no strong Sword King in the Yin Shang Kingdom, but also in the entire ten southeastern countries, there are no more than five strong Sword King.
Hurrying through the Dongtian Paradise of Longtan Pond, Ye Feng arrived at the gathering place agreed upon with He Huan and others.
When they arrived at the tea house, Ye Feng learned from the shopkeeper that He Huan and others had already gone back to Qianxun City before Ye Feng returned.
Outside the tea house, the sky gradually darkened, and the last trace of light was swallowed up by the darkness.
Seeing that the sky was completely dark, Ye Feng thought for a moment and finally decided to rest in the tea house tonight.
There is a clean upper room in the backyard of the tea house. After paying the room fee, Ye Feng entered the room.
Since Longtan Pond has become a tourist attraction, the rooms here are all very clean and stylish.
The room of more than thirty square meters is equipped with antique wooden tables and chairs. In addition to these tables and chairs, the room also has a large bed that can accommodate four people lying side by side without being crowded.
Seeing the big bed, Ye Feng couldn't help but frown.
The most real purpose of placing such a bed here is probably not just for rest. Thinking that the room next door might be very popular tonight, Ye Feng's frown deepened.
As a perfectly normal man, Ye Feng is not unattractive to women.
It's just that he didn't want to waste time before he made any proud achievements in the way of swordsmanship.
Ye Feng has never used the bed since entering the room.
After sitting cross-legged on a large chair on one side of the room, Ye Feng injected his consciousness into the space ring.
Inside the space ring, the hundreds of swords have become dim. The heart bead, which has been absorbing the aura of the swords, has become as big as a basin.
Realizing that the energy in the heart bead was about to be full, Ye Feng took it out and began to slowly absorb the energy in the heart bead.
The room was completely illuminated by a layer of azure light. As Ye Feng opened his mouth, the vitality in his heart turned into a flowing waterfall, pouring into his mouth.
The energy surged and expanded, causing Ye Feng's facial features to become distorted.
As more and more energy poured into Ye Feng's body, a trace of pain appeared on Ye Feng's face.
The speed of practicing the Heaven-Swallowing Jue is unparalleled, but the pain one needs to endure during the practice is far beyond what ordinary techniques can compare to.
Every time he absorbed energy, Ye Feng had to endure the feeling as if his head was exploding. Even if the energy was absorbed that day, his head would still hurt until the next morning.
Severe pain was like a tide, washing every inch of Ye Feng's nerves.
As the pain continued to intensify, the thickness of vitality in Ye Feng's body also reached its peak.
Inside the Dantian, a layer of white ice crystals condensed on the crystal surface again.
The ice crystals became thicker and thicker, and the small Five Elements Sword Formation also rotated faster and faster. Finally, the five long swords turned into five-color rainbows, swimming quickly inside his Dantian.
Each meridian is filled with thick and solid particles of vitality. When these particles of vitality are filled, they begin to expand outward, expanding Ye Feng's meridians.
The severe pain in his meridians was more severe than a headache, so much so that Ye Feng, who had always been strong, couldn't help but groan at this moment.
Suddenly, a huge amount of energy poured into his dantian along the mouth. As the energy impacted on the crystal core in his body, the surface of the crystal core began to explode, and the white ice crystals turned into pure energy, swimming around in his body.
With a bang, the friction between the energy and the crystal core erupted into a red flame.
At the moment when the fire light rose up, in the rotating small Five Elements Sword Formation, the long sword that specialized in the fire element flew out with a swish and went directly into the fire light, absorbing all the fire light that filled the Dantian.
After the fire disappeared, the crystal returned to a stable appearance, but this stability did not last long. Suddenly, another wave of energy rushed towards the crystal, inspiring a blue mist.
The water sword in the small Five Elements Sword Formation burst out again, flying directly above the water mist, absorbing the liquid mist.
After completely integrating the mist behind the sword, the Water Sword flew back to the sword formation on its own, still spinning rapidly as usual, releasing rich energy.
Throughout the night, the five attribute virtual long swords in the small Five Elements Sword Formation all went through the absorption process in sequence.
After the five long swords absorbed the energy one by one, Ye Feng discovered that the five long swords in the small Five Elements Sword Formation had all increased in size by several points.
This phenomenon means that the Small Five Elements Sword Formation is about to be upgraded, and the long sword absorbed by Ye Feng will also be upgraded accordingly.
Realizing that if he absorbs it in this way for at most five times, the low-level sword will no longer have an effect on the small five-element sword formation, Ye Feng is happy in his heart, but he can't help but feel a little worried.
As the sword array is upgraded, Ye Feng's strength will naturally increase. However, this mid-level long sword is not as easy to find as the low-level sword. If he wants to further improve his strength, he will have to work hard to find the sword.
, must be increased several times than before.
In the blink of an eye, Ye Feng practiced for two hours.
By the time he woke up from his practice, it was already midnight.
Next door, a couple whispered, indicating that there would be a good show soon.
Ye Feng was really not interested in listening to the corner. Sensing that the subject next door seemed to be about to enter, Ye Feng stood up and walked towards the door.
Just as he reached the door, Ye Feng suddenly stopped.
After listening for a long time, a solemn look appeared on his face.
With the power of his ears, no disturbance within a hundred meters radius could be hidden from detection. He clearly heard that at this moment, there should be several night walkers walking quickly on the roof of the tea house.
Sneaking on the roof late at night is definitely not something a good person would do. After noticing the other party's presence, Ye Feng didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but he still paid extra attention to this group of people.
Opening the door, Ye Feng planned to enter the courtyard to get some fresh air.
However, the moment he opened the door, a black shadow suddenly hit him.
Spotting the black shadow, Ye Feng instinctively struck it with his palm. But just when his palm was about to hit the black shadow's body, he stopped his hand and just stared at the black shadow, his face full of coldness.
"Is it you?" Ye Feng said coldly.
Opposite Ye Feng, Lu E, who was wearing a green shirt, looked at Ye Feng with wide eyes, suddenly rushed straight to the room, and then quickly got into the quilt above the bed.
"Don't... don't say it!" After getting into bed, Lu'e immediately spread her hair and pulled her clothes down, exposing her snow-white shoulders.
After doing all this, she turned her back, pretending to be asleep, and listened to what was going on around her.
In the courtyard, there were several inaudible footsteps hitting the ground.
After the group landed, they immediately dispersed and walked towards the houses in the courtyard.
Inside the courtyard, there were loud knocks on the door.
Ye Feng frowned when he saw the visitor so blatantly checking every room.
Obviously, this is Lu'e's enemy coming to the door, chasing Lu'e with nowhere to escape.
Thinking of Lu E's panicked look just now, Ye Feng shook his head slightly, sat down on the chair in front of the desk, and waited quietly for the other party to knock on the door.
About half a cup of tea later, there were rapid footsteps outside the door. Then the door was violently banged and trembled violently.
Hearing the knock on the door, Ye Feng stood up.
After opening the door, he glared at the visitor angrily and asked, "What are you doing? Do you still let people rest in your teahouse?"
The knockers were two middle-aged men in their thirties. After hearing Ye Feng's angry rebuke, the two men remained silent and stretched their heads to look into the room.
Seeing a woman with bare shoulders lying on the bed in the room, they both shook their heads at the same time, then ignored Ye Feng's glare and turned to leave.
Seeing the visitor walking away, Ye Feng quickly closed the door. The moment he closed the door, he couldn't help but feel a little angry.
He really didn't know what this green calyx was doing to offend such a powerful master.
Just from meeting each other, Ye Feng had already judged that these two middle-aged men both possessed the strength of a first-level sword king.
On the bed in the room, Lu E suddenly stood up.
Realizing that her shoulders were exposed, she immediately became embarrassed and quickly put her clothes back on to cover her shoulders.
After sitting on the bedside, her expression gradually returned to normal.
After staring at Ye Feng's comment for a moment, she suddenly asked: "You... are you the one who followed me during the day?"
Perhaps because of her unusually slow speech, Lu E didn't stutter too much this time.
After hearing Lu'e's statement, Ye Feng almost returned to normal, with a smile on his face.
He was about to answer, but he heard several soft sounds in his ears.
Suddenly, Ye Feng's expression changed.
Before Lu'e could react, he rushed to the bed and pulled Lu'e directly to the ground.
There was a loud bang, and the ceiling of the room suddenly collapsed.
A large beam roared and hit the head of the bed, smashing the sandalwood bed into pieces.
"Hmph, you did put on a good show, but you thought you could escape the pursuit of Baiyin City like this. You are totally wrong." A sharp voice came from the top of the room.
The voice was extremely hoarse, like fingertips scratching on fragments of glazed tiles, which made people feel uncomfortable all over.
Before the voice could finish, a young man with a cold face wearing a blood-red sword cultivator's uniform appeared in the room out of thin air.
Seeing the young man, Lu E's complexion became extremely ugly, while Ye Feng's eyes burst out with rays of light.
A third-level sword king. The young man in front of him, who looked to be no more than twenty-six or seventeen years old, actually possessed the strength of a third-level sword king.
