Great Swordsman
Ch.49 - Changes At The Border

Dissatisfied, Xu Feng immediately chose to upgrade again to the intermediate realm which only required 10 units of energy.

In an instant, the same feeling re-entered Xu Feng's mind. His understanding of the technique became deeper and deeper and his body once again changed in an astounding speed.

Every second passed, Xu Feng then walked out of the learning state. He lowered his head and realized that his body had now undergone a tremendous change, his muscles became increasingly lean and tight and the weight on each flesh on his body was lighter than usual.

“So even in the middle realms, walking on water or foliage is still not possible well.”

Xu Feng then realized his flaws, he seemed to need to advance to a higher realm to achieve that high level feat.

“No problem, I have now been very fast even without using the Shadow Step Technique.” Xu Feng brushed aside his disappointment and focused on the advantages he received.

Xu Feng realized that he was almost three times faster than before. If he ran with all his might at the moment, an ordinary person would only see a figure that blew like the wind. Its speed was almost the same as the explosive power produced by the Shadow Step Technique and it did not require a great deal of stamina.

The Body Lightening Technique was completely in keeping with his famous reputation, Xu Feng was satisfied with the improvement it had made on him.

A few hours passed and he almost arrived at Tan Village. On the way, Xu Feng tried to perform various movement demonstrations in order to become more familiar with the Body Lightening Technique.

He had even met some Demon Beasts but they were all one-star Demon Beasts, Xu Feng killed them so easily. He did not meet an Adult Demon Beast so the core of the Demon Beast was not in his loot.

Adult Demon Beasts were extremely rare and rare to find, only in dangerous and famous places like the Thousand Night Forest that was bustling with Adult Demon Beasts.

“Hm!?”

Xu Feng looked at the riding entourage that appeared not far in front of him, the thing that caught his attention was the condition of their badly injured and tattered bodies, some horses even carrying human corpses on their backs.

“Open road!”

The front horseman shouted at the people blocking the way, his face was very serious even though his body was covered with many deep wounds, blood was still dripping from his wounds.

“What happened?”

Some travelers who want to go to Tan Village inevitably ask each other curious while opening the road, the condition of the riding troupe was like having just experienced a tragic war.

“Do not head to Tan Village if you want to live, many bandits suddenly appear and roam in this area.”

The riding man gave a reminder before it passed, he did not have time to explain any further.

Everyone immediately showed a worried face, they did not expect to hear any bad news on this sunny day. Some who were afraid had already turned around and left, some just stood dazed in silence, some brave men did not care and continued towards Tan Village.

“What happened?” Xu Feng frowned, his expression becoming dignified. He was aware that the cavalry were cultivators, the leader was even a Third Stage controller.

“What kind of bandits can hurt him?”

Xu Feng fell into deep thought but only for a moment did he shake his head and continued walking towards Tan Village. No matter what, he had already covered the distance so far, Xu Feng did not want his journey to be in vain.

Xu Feng immediately galloped, he did not use a single technique but his speed as a Fourth Stage was already extremely fast in the eyes of the beholder.

Almost everyone who chose to head to Tan Village was startled by the gusts of wind as Xu Feng passed by them, that speed astounding them greatly.

On the way, Xu Feng often met people who had fled Tan Village, he even saw that there were a few more whose conditions were similar to those of the horsemen earlier.

“The situation seems worse than I imagined.”

Xu Feng's face turned heavy, he felt that there was a great war going on up ahead. Xu Feng immediately accelerated his pace but just a few seconds later, three arrows whistled in the air and aimed at him.

Xu Feng let out a cold snort and drew his sheathed sword, he deflected the arrow that came with a simple sweep.

The three archers hiding on top of the tree were shocked by Xu Feng's actions, they couldn't imagine there was someone capable of withstanding the archery of the First Stage so simply, either,

“Searching for dead!”

Xu Feng turned his head towards the direction where the arrow came from, he stomped his foot and three pebbles flew into the air before being reached by his hand, he immediately threw the three stones one by one towards the three archers.

The three archers did not even have time to react because Xu Feng's movements were so fast, before they came out of shock, the pebbles had already hit their heads and created a large hole, drilling down into the brain.

“They are really bandits.”

Xu Feng muttered lowly as he watched the corpses that had fallen from the top of the tree, the clothes they were wearing were shabby cloth clothes, the bow used was also old and could hardly be called decent.

“Abows Gang.”

Xu Feng took off the cloth mask that covered half the faces of the three corpses, on the right side next to the chin, a sculpted grey-coloured bow tattoo.

The Abu Bow Gang was one of the subordinate bandit groups of the One Eye Gang, they were basically a group of bandits who were able to survive until now because of the protection of the One Eye Gang.

“Why are they acting so openly? Aren't they afraid of Fallen Leaf Town?”

Xu Feng slightly did not understand, even the One Eye Gang would not be able to protect them if the Fallen Leaf Town was enraged and wanted to destroy this mushy plumpness.

“There is a wrong.”

Xu Feng stood up and gazed into the distance, his eyes showing deep thought. Without wasting any time, he immediately drove towards Tan Village, he would never calm down without finding out the answer.

Not long after some people arrived at the place where Xu Feng killed the three archers, they were shocked when they realized the deaths of these three archers were caused by the gravel still stuck in their heads.

“Sial, who is he!?” One exclaimed, he did not understand what kind of strength it would take to kill someone with just a small lump of pebbles.

They were unwilling to stare at Xu Feng's departure with astonished faces.
