Thinking of this, Jiang Lingxuan immediately felt extremely envious of Sun Muqing.

"Night Wind, can you find me a powerful cultivation technique too?" Jiang Lingxuan said in a low voice, her tone tinged with jealousy.

“Your skills are already very powerful, it’s just that you haven’t mastered them,” Ye Feng said.

"But I always feel..."

Ye Feng said earnestly, "Lingxuan, don't be too ambitious. Your Thousand Threads Brocade Pouch is a first-class technique, no worse than the Clear Light Jade Universe Sword Technique. As long as you cultivate diligently, you will definitely catch up with Mu Qing. However, your spiritual weapon is indeed a bit lacking. Once I have collected the refining materials, I will forge you a set of flying needles of a higher grade."

Jiang Lingxuan finally showed a satisfied smile and nodded vigorously.

Suddenly, a roar shook the mountains and forests.

"A monster is coming!" a guard shouted.

Ye Feng and the others turned their heads and saw a giant bear covered in long, golden fur striding towards them from a distance.

That giant bear weighed at least 3,000 jin (1,500 kg). It was three meters tall, with a wide and stout body. Its two hind paws stomped on the ground, causing it to tremble and leaving deep footprints.

"It's the Golden Bear King!"

"An eighth-tier demonic beast, the Golden Bear King!"

"Scatter!"

The guards all shouted and scattered.

Bai Muxue remained calm.

Although the Golden Bear King is very powerful and she is no match for him, she is not alone here.

She and her guards, along with Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan, numbered more than a dozen True Yuan Realm martial artists. If so many people still couldn't defeat an eighth-order demon beast, they should really find a crack in the ground to crawl into!

But the Golden Bear King's target was not Bai Muxue, but Sun Muqing!

The golden bear charged towards Sun Muqing, roaring continuously.

"Night Wind, don't help me yet, let me try myself!" Sun Muqing shouted.

"Okay, then you give it a try first." Night Wind nodded with a smile.

Sun Muqing then took up the Broken Wind Sword and went to meet the Golden Bear King.

"The First Form of the Clear Light Jade Palace Sword Technique!"

Sun Muqing shouted and thrust out his sword. The sharp sword energy shot out and pierced through the Golden Bear King's left shoulder in an instant.

The Golden Bear King was in great pain and was also enraged.

It opened its gaping maw and immediately released a burst of golden light.

The golden light contained intense metal element true energy, which struck Sun Muqing relentlessly.

Sun Muqing remained calm, dodging the attack before launching another strike.

"The Second Form of the Clear Light Jade Palace Sword Technique!"

Sun Muqing nimbly maneuvered around the Golden Bear King, thrusting out one sword strike after another.

The Golden Bear King was soon covered in blood.

Bai Muxue was dumbfounded.

She felt that facing this golden bear king would be a very risky situation.

However, Sun Muqing now has a firm upper hand.

Does that mean that Sun Muqing, at the sixth level of the True Yuan Realm, is more powerful than I, at the ninth level of the True Yuan Realm?

Thinking of this, a serious expression appeared on Bai Muxue's face.

It seems I haven't been practicing hard enough. I need to practice even more diligently from now on!

Bai Muxue thought to herself.

As time went on, the Golden Bear King's injuries became more and more serious, and he was on the verge of exhaustion.

Finally, the Golden Bear King collapsed with a loud thud, its heavy body creating a large crater in the ground.

Ye Feng strode over and said, "Mu Qing, the essence blood of the Golden Bear King is a very good material for alchemy, don't waste it."

"Oh, I see."

Sun Muqing immediately took out a small porcelain bottle from her storage ring.

Night Wind pressed down on the Golden Bear King's head and body, saying, "I'll hold it down while you collect its essence blood."

Sun Muqing nodded and thrust his sword into the chest of the Golden Bear King, piercing its heart.

The Golden Bear King certainly wouldn't die immediately from having its heart pierced; for both ordinary people and wild animals, the heart is a vital organ.

However, for demonic beasts, unless their hearts are completely destroyed, they can rely on their powerful self-healing abilities to repair the damage to their hearts in a short period of time.

Sun Muqing's sword strike naturally enraged the Golden Bear King once again.

The Golden Bear King struggled to get up from the ground, letting out one roar after another.

"Behave yourself!"

Night Wind punched the Golden Bear King on the head.

Boom!

With a deafening roar, the Golden Bear King's entire head was slammed into the earth by Night Wind's punch.

Seeing this, the surrounding guards all showed expressions of shock.

The power of Ye Feng's punch was simply too strong, too terrifying.

"If that punch had landed on me, I would definitely be dead," one of the guards muttered to himself.

Me too.

"Me too."

The other guards nodded in agreement.

Sun Muqing finally collected the essence blood of the Golden Bear King.

Night Breeze finally released the Golden Bear King.

Once free, the Golden Bear King scrambled to its feet. After glancing fearfully at Ye Feng and Sun Muqing, it fled in a panic, not daring to look back even once!

"The way the Golden Bear King is running for its life doesn't look like a majestic eighth-tier demon beast at all; it's more like a stray dog," a guard remarked.

The other guards all showed expressions of agreement.

Before we knew it, another two or three days had passed.

Sun Muqing's mastery of the Qingguang Yuyu Sword Technique has deepened even further than before, and she often jumps off the carriage to spar with Chen Haoyang and the other guards.

Chen Haoyang is no match for Sun Muqing now.

Having mastered the Clear Light Jade Universe Sword Technique and with the aid of the Rank 8 Spiritual Weapon, the Remnant Wind Sword, Chen Haoyang was completely outmatched by Sun Muqing.

Jiang Lingxuan has also made great progress.

Perhaps it was Sun Muqing's growth that spurred her on, as Jiang Lingxuan is now cultivating very diligently. Although her improvement speed cannot compare with Sun Muqing's, it is much stronger than before.

Ye Feng's understanding of the Divine Tree Azure Sky Technique and the Void Origin Divine Finger has also become more profound.

Suddenly, Ye Feng opened his eyes, his brows furrowing slightly.

"What's wrong, Ye Feng?" Sun Muqing asked, puzzled.

"I sense a large group of demonic beasts rapidly approaching," Ye Feng said.

Sun Muqing then said, "Then I'll remind Bai Muxue and the others."

After saying that, Sun Muqing stuck his head out of the carriage window and shouted, "Be careful, everyone! A group of monsters is coming!"

The guards outside all changed their expressions drastically, and the convoy came to a stop.

"Another monster? Am I really that unlucky?"

Bai Muxue jumped down from the carriage in anger.

Just then, the howls of wolves came from afar, and the next moment, the mountains and fields were filled with the shadows of wolves.

Upon seeing so many bluish-gray demon wolves, Bai Muxue's expression turned extremely ugly.
