<h4>Chapter 1569: Chapter 1565: Adding Insult to Injury! (Second Update!)</h4>


    Ren Feifan’s curiosity peaked!


    What exactly was that old man’s cultivation technique?


    Wasn’t it only supposed to absorb souls? Howe now it even allowed him to see through other people’s moves!


    Suddenly, Ren Feifan thought of something; if he could learn other people’s martial arts through Swallowing Heavens Decree, and master them in a single nce, that would definitely be a game-changing cheat!


    On the battlefield, the stronger the enemy’s move, the more likely he could see through it in a nce!


    If he could catch them off guard with their own martial arts, it would surely daze the opponent for a moment, then he could kill them unseen.


    Overjoyed, Ren Feifan once again followed the opponent’s move and struck a giant tree!


    In an instant, the tree shattered into pieces, leaving not even debris behind!


    This was somewhat eerie.


    The power of that punch wasparable to a strike from the Ancient Dust Sword!


    But Ren Feifan was also well aware that his understanding of the Swallowing Heavens Decree was shallow, so his grasp of that middle-aged man’s punch was also superficial.


    Yet a superficial punch had such power, what if he fully mastered Swallowing Heavens Decree? Wouldn’t that be defying the heavens?


    Ren Feifan pondered, deciding to prioritize the cultivation of Swallowing Heavens Decree.


    Meanwhile, the middle-aged man was gradually losing ground in his battle against the Heavenly Tribtion!


    Despite his explosive fist and martial strength, he couldn’t withstand the relentless Heavenly Tribtion!


    "Boom!"


    Another arc of lightning struck down with incredible speed, hitting the middle-aged man in the blink of an eye!


    The middle-aged man’s back now disyed a bone-deep wound. He hastily swallowed an elixir andunched another punch!


    But the more he punched, therger the wound on his back became, and soon, blood began to ooze out, "and the flow increased steadily!"


    At this moment, Ren Feifan suddenly thought that this mighty cultivator might fail his breakthrough amidst the Heavenly Tribtion.


    After all, the further one’s cultivation progressed, the harder the Heavenly Tribtion breakthrough became! He had once heard his second uncle say that cultivators in the Life Loss Realm and the God Sea Realm might fail their breakthroughs and ultimately perish to the Heavenly Tribtion, which would be quite a pity.


    And this middle-aged cultivator was clearly no match for the Heavenly Tribtion.


    Ren Feifan didn’t want this mighty cultivator to fall.


    Of course, Ren Feifan didn’t actually feel sympathy for the man; he simply hadn’t learned theplete set of boxing techniques yet!


    Ren Feifan had sensed the power of this boxing technique!


    "Boom!" A thunderous bang followed, and the mighty cultivator was sted away by an earth-shattering bolt of lightning!


    The force of this lightning strike split open the ground itself!


    The power was immense!


    The middle-aged cultivator’s face turned pale!


    As several more bolts of Heavenly Tribtion descended, his eyes narrowed; he nced in Ren Feifan’s direction and then with a palm strike to the ground, he actually shed toward Ren Feifan!


    For some reason, Ren Feifan felt the cultivator had already spotted him, perhaps thinking he was no more than an ant and thus didn’t bother to attack.


    "Pff!"


    The middle-aged cultivator let out a long sigh, quickly took out a sword, and with a flick towards the sky, the Cold Sword hovered above his head. At the same time, his fingers formed a gesture, and suddenly, a Formation appeared around him!


    "Boom!"


    Countless bolts of lightning struck down, and the longsword acted like a lightning rod, absorbing all the electricity!


    A "ding" resounded, and the longsword above could no longer withstand the power of the lightning, bursting apart! Fragments flew outward in all directions!


    And the middle-aged man spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.


    The formation shattered, a fragment piercing the middle-aged man’s shoulder.


    The middle-aged man could no longer contain it; he was critically wounded and spat out another mouthful of blood, which slowly stained a giant tree opposite him, creating a shocking sight!


    Ren Feifan watched this scene and shook his head helplessly. The man had sustained very serious injuries. Although he had avoided the Heavenly Tribtion, he had failed to break through.


    Moreover, his injuries were extremely severe. If he didn’t receive prompt medical treatment or rashly used True Qi again, the consequences would be serious; he might never be able to cultivate again.


    Ren Feifan wondered whether or not to step out and help the man, considering he had learned from him covertly – healing him would also be a way to repay the cultivation technique.


    Just then, the injured man’s eyes turned cold, and a chilling voice rang out, "Come out now, isn’t this the result you wanted?"


    Ren Feifan was startled; had that guy actually discovered him?


    But this middle-aged man better not falsely use him; he’d never wished for this man to be injured.


    They had never met before, and they had no grievances; so why would this be?


    However, since the other party had discovered him, there was no need for him to hide any longer.


    Ren Feifan was about to step forward when another voice sounded!


    "Zheng Xipo, oh Zheng Xipo, I never expected that we would meet again so soon after entering the Secret Realms."


    A wickedly charming man with small braids in his hair emerged from behind a giant tree to the north and leisurely approached the middle-aged man.


    It was clear that the name of the injured middle-aged man was Zheng Xipo.


    The eyes of the person from the north were indifferent, looking at Zheng Xipo as if he were an ant.


    Ren Feifan nced at the wickedly charming man and realized he couldn’t detect the man’s cultivation level at all; by feeling, it should be of the same realm as the injured man.


    Howe so many powerful figures had suddenly appeared? Moreover, judging by the tone, it seemed they were cultivators who had entered the Secret Realms just like him!


    Zheng Xipo stretched out his hand and pressed it against the giant tree, struggling to stand up. His eyes cold, he looked at the wickedly charming man and said, "Qian Daolin, you vile scoundrel, do you want to kill me while I’m injured?"


    Qian Daolin shook his head, with a slender sword somehow appearing in his hand.


    The sword was very slim, somewhat resembling the type used in Olympic fencingpetitions.


    He flicked his finger on the de, and a series of sword humming followed!


    "Zheng Xipo, oh Zheng Xipo, you ultimately couldn’t get past the barrier. Now that you are going to die, do you have anyst words to say?"


    Qian Daolin’s voice was filled with disdain.


    Zheng Xipo, driven by thought, also drew out a longsword, though this one was clearly of a lower grade than the one that had shattered.


    Upon seeing that Zheng Xipo was still struggling in the throes of death, Qian Daolinughed loudly, "Do you think you’re still in any position to fight? You’re so badly injured, even if I don’t kill you, what are your chances of surviving in this dangerous Secret Realm?


    However, I remember, your master seems to have a part of the secret to the Formation. If you tell me this secret, I might consider giving you a dignified death."


    Qian Daolin’s icy voice fell, but Zheng Xipo was unmoved. Instead, he summoned all his strength and shed out with his sword!


    Though wounded, the force of the sword strike was still terrifying, creating a fissure in the earth, shaking the ground!


    But, when the sword force reached Qian Daolin, he snorted disdainfully, and with a bend of his hand, his Soft Sword whipped down like ash!


    A "ding" sounded, and the sword force was entirely nullified!


    At the same time, Zheng Xipo spat out another mouthful of fresh blood!
