Chapter 466: Night Rain; Submission (3)

Zhou Jing put this matter aside for the time being and opened the attribute interface again, choosing to break through.

His resistance and energy attributes had both increased to the Second Order. The options for traits once again popped up. He chose [Tough Resilience] and [Rapid Force Recovery].

The former made his skin and muscles more defensive and tenacious, making it even harder for sharp weapons to break through.

The latter could accelerate the natural recovery efficiency of various energies. Even if his strength was exhausted, he could slowly recover and increase his combat strength. Coupled with Apostle #004’s Physical Fitness trait, [Endurance], he could fight for a long time and persevere through prolonged combat.

After sorting out the results of the placement stage, Zhou Jing closed the interface.

He looked around and suddenly spoke,

“The time is about right. We’ll go to the Wu Mountain Sect for our next stop and find trouble with them.”

Hearing this, everyone immediately perked up.

“Haha, are we finally going to attack?” Fang Zhen was overjoyed and did not suspect anything amiss.

“This place is not far from the Wu Mountain Sect. It will take us at most two to three days to get there by boat.”

Guo Haishen nodded.

“Brother, do you want to take the main entrance or the small path? I know a small path that can enter the Wu Mountain Sect from the back mountain. I just hope you won’t start a massacre. After all, this is only the doing of the sect master. My fellow disciples haven’t provoked you…”

Lin Song suggested.

At this moment, he had also resigned himself to his fate. He simply came up with a plan, hoping to use this to beg Chen Feng to spare the lives of some of his fellow disciples.

“Don’t worry, we’ll definitely spare your lover’s life,” Fang Zhen teased.

When Lin Song heard this, he felt embarrassed and bitter. However, he did not dare to provoke Fang Zhen, so he simply sat by the fire in silence.

Everyone was quite interested in the upcoming battle and suggested their own ideas.

At this moment, a well-built young man said curiously, “Brother, after we finish this matter, what are we going to do in the future? Do we stay in Jiangchun to gather on a mountain, or go to another area to continue doing this?”

Zhou Jing looked at this person and secretly searched the log. This person’s name appeared in his mind. It seemed to be called “Cloud Eagle” Zhang Lei. This person also had a younger brother called “Sky Falcon” Zhang Zhen.

The two brothers had only come to seek refuge recently. Their skills were extraordinary, and they were the two most powerful experts among the Green Forest experts who had taken the initiative to join them during this period of time. Their feet were outstanding, their lightness skills were extraordinary, and they were good at using single blades. They also knew how to use hidden weapons such as Flying Locust Rocks, Acupoint Darts, and so on.

(TL Note: Flying Locust Rocks are similar to those flat skipping stones we use to throw on the surface of the water, but much smaller in size, probably half a finger at most. It is commonly seen in martial arts novels where the martial artist flicks the rock to attack their opponents from afar.)

His brother, Zhang Lei, was on par with Fang Zhen, and his combat strength was at 88 points. His brother, Zhang Zhen, was slightly weaker, and his combat strength was about 85 points.

However, the Zhang brothers had once been under a famous master and knew a set of array formations. When their two blades combined, their power increased exponentially. It was very impressive that they could fight Guo Haishen for 50 to 60 moves without a clear winner.

Hearing Zhang Lei’s question, Zhou Jing stroked the stubble on his chin before replying,

“There are many experts in the 24 provinces in the north and south, and there are also endless corrupt officials and tyrants. Let’s continue to seek evil everywhere. It won’t be too late to gather in a mountain when the time is ripe.”

Now that his reputation in the Green Forest was astonishing, there would be people coming to submit from time to time. This proved that his actions of getting rid of evil everywhere and enforcing justice on behalf of the heavens were very popular among the people. This route was feasible.

He planned to be a bandit first and act flexibly. He did not want to guard a mountain as a chief so quickly.

Just as the group was chatting, Zhang San, who was watching from outside the forest, walked back and shouted,

“Brother, another hero has come from outside to seek refuge.”

Zhou Jing turned his attention over and smiled, “Hurry up and invite him over.”

Zhang San nodded and went out to pass the message.

Not long after, a valiant man with two swords on his back walked into the forest. It was Duan Yunfeng.

He looked around and his gaze landed on the most eye-catching Chen Feng. At a glance, he knew that this was the main character.

“I’m Duan Yunfeng, from Northern Yan. When I heard that you had this lifelong goal of eliminating evil, I felt deep admiration and came to seek refuge.”

Everyone looked at each other, but they had never heard of this person.

Fang Zhen looked at Guo Haishen, who also shook his head, indicating that he had never heard of this person’s name in the Green Forest.

Zhou Jing stood up and went forward to welcome him. He laughed and said, “Brother Duan also seems like a good man. Since we have similar aspirations, come with us.”

He recognized this person’s figure. He seemed to be the guy who had assassinated the Emperor at night.

However, this person did not seem to have any intention of revealing this matter. He most likely had the intention to observe if his own group was reliable.

Zhou Jing did not intend to expose this person’s background, so he pretended not to know.

“I’m willing to serve Brother Chen.”

Duan Yunfeng replied in a deep voice. He paused for a moment before continuing,

“Since I’m here to seek refuge, it’s not good for me to come empty-handed. I brought a welcome gift this time.”

“Oh? What is it?”

Zhou Jing was curious.

Duan Yunfeng took out a secret manual from his pocket and handed it to Zhou Jing.

“I heard that 28 famous figures from the martial world wanted to kill Brother Chen. Coincidentally, when I was on my way, I bumped into the sect master of the Wu Mountain Sect, Shen Sanqiu, and killed him on the spot. After that, I found this Drifting Clouds, Misty Rain Technique from him. It seems to be the ultimate technique of the Wu Mountain Sect, so I’ll give it to you as a greeting gift.”

“The Sect Master is dead?!”

Lin Song’s mouth fell open in a daze.

He had thought that Shen Sanqiu would definitely be able to escape back to the sect and announce that he was a traitor. He did not expect that although the sect master had escaped from Chen Feng’s spear, he would accidentally die on the way.

“Wow, the Wu Mountain Sect is a famous sect. Sect Master Shen’s cultivation is profound, but Brother Duan actually killed him. Your martial arts are definitely at a high level.

Everyone was shocked and immediately did not dare to underestimate him.

“This guy can even break into the palace and escape even when facing the Imperial Army. It’s not as easy as it seems to kill a seriously injured martial artist… If we really fight, he’s probably even more lethal than my brother, Guo Haishen.”

Zhou Jing thought to himself but did not expose him.

He took the secret manual and flipped through it a few times before turning to look at everyone. “Since this technique is powerful, brothers, let’s comprehend it together.”

When everyone heard this, they were stunned.

Zhang San pointed at himself and said in surprise, “Can we practice too?”

“Of course.” Zhou Jing nodded matter-of-factly and added, “It’s not just this secret manual. In the future, when we go to find the and redeem our bad luck from the other martial arts sects in Jiangchun, we can practice whichever martial arts we want.”

He did not intend to keep it to himself. He planned to pass down all the martial arts he had snatched. Firstly, it would be a benefit to follow him and nurture his team.

The second was to break the monopoly of sectarian principles gatekeeping the profound martial arts and let these martial arts spread to the people. Everyone would have merits and practice, causing the martial world to be in chaos.

The more people there were in the martial arts competition, the more help he would have in the future.

Moreover, even if everyone could cultivate it, he would be the fastest with his current aptitude.

Everyone immediately perked up and thanked him for his generosity.

They did not expect Chen Feng to be willing to share such a sect’s ultimate technique. Such bearings and openness made everyone even more convinced.

Meanwhile, Zhou Jing turned around and patted Duan Yunfeng’s shoulder.

“Brother, this greeting gift is really generous. I thank you on behalf of all the brothers.”

“… I’ve heard that Brother Chen is straightforward. Seeing you today, you really live up to your reputation.”

Duan Yunfeng could not help but think highly of him as he nodded in agreement.

This Chen Feng seemed to be worth submitting to…
