Chapter 1322 - 1319: Ants and Tigers—Those Who Aren’t Afraid to Die!

After taking a Qingling Revitalizing Pill, Jiang Fengfeng’s injuries recovered a bit. She walked over and, upon seeing the blood-colored pearl in Luo Feng’s hand, surprise flashed deep in her eyes.

This Blood Fiend even made her a bit uneasy, yet it was defeated by Luo Feng. At this moment, Jiang Fengfeng had to admit that Luo Feng’s strength was already a threat to her.

Of course, she would not say this out loud.

Luo Feng glanced at the Blood Pill in his hand and said to Jiang Fengfeng, "Fengfeng, can I have this Blood Pill? I can offer you some compensation."

If it weren’t for Jiang Fengfeng’s help in initially injuring the Blood Fiend, the outcome of this battle would have been hard to predict.

"It’s you who killed this Blood Fiend, why ask me? It’s just a Blood Pill, even if you give it to me, I don’t want it."

Jiang Fengfeng waved her hand impatiently.

"Thank you."

Luo Feng said. From Jiang Fengfeng’s earlier words, it seemed that the value of this Blood Pill wasn’t simple.

Of course, he didn’t want the Blood Pill to exchange for wealth but intended to use it to cultivate Demon Spirit Grass.

This Blood Pill’s Demon Qi was far purer than that in ordinary Demon Cores, and it should reduce the time needed for the Demon Spirit Grass to bear Demon Cloud Fruit.

"Your injuries are severe; let’s go back first." Luo Feng examined Jiang Fengfeng and spoke.

Jiang Fengfeng nodded reluctantly, "This time, I was careless and let you steal the limelight."

Luo Feng gave a faint smile; it turned out that this was what she cared about. Just as he was about to put away the Blood Pill, his intuition suddenly surged. Grabbing Jiang Fengfeng’s right hand, he dashed out like a flash of lightning.

Swish!

Just as they left, Sword Qi swept in from a distance, carving a terrifying fissure in the ground.

Jiang Fengfeng was initially unclear about what had happened, but seeing the sword mark on the ground, her face immediately darkened, and her eyes filled with vigilance.

"Friend, shouldn’t you reveal yourself?" Luo Feng looked at the shadow within the dense forest in the distance, his gaze solemn.

If it were an ordinary time, someone getting so close would definitely be discovered by him. However, the forest was shrouded in the Blood Plague of the Blood Fiend, and that fierce battle left him no time to be vigilant, hence this oversight.

Tap tap tap tap...

Footsteps sounded, and a figure emerged from the forest.

The figure had a deep voice, obviously lowered intentionally. Wearing a beast-face mask that hid all features, he was clad in blue attire and held a treasured sword, faintly emitting intense True Yuan waves.

True Yuan Realm Third Tier Peak!

Luo Feng took a glance at the newcomer, raised his eyebrows; such strength was rare even in the Canglang Dynasty.

"You’ve already made your presence known, now state your purpose." Luo Feng looked at the sword mark on the ground and said indifferently.

Jiang Fengfeng coldly said, "Quickly, why did you ambush us?"

Swish!

The blue-clothed Martial Artist gazed coldly like a venomous snake at the Blood Pill in Luo Feng’s hand and said, "That Blood Pill is quite useful to me; I hope you can hand it over."

"What if I refuse?" Luo Feng said expressionlessly.

"I’m afraid you cannot refuse."

The blue-clothed Martial Artist swept his gaze over Luo Feng and Jiang Fengfeng, and a sinister laughter sounded, "The First New Dragon Luo Feng, if possible, I prefer not to get physical. I hope you’ll voluntarily hand over the Blood Pill. Indeed, you are strong, but circumstances have changed. She is heavily wounded and not a threat, while you, who managed to defeat such a fearsome creature as the Blood Fiend, are commendable, but you’re only at the Fourth Layer of the True Yuan Realm. Even with formidable combat power, you must have exhausted most of your True Yuan after that battle, right?"

"Hahaha..." Luo Feng laughed loudly.

The blue-clothed Martial Artist’s gaze darkened, "What are you laughing at?"

Luo Feng replied with a faint smile, "Oh, nothing, I just find it amusing how an ant dares to gauge the strength of a tiger. Do you think that’s funny?"

Hmph!

The blue-clothed man snorted coldly. He wasn’t a fool and naturally understood that the ant referred to him. He replied in a sullen tone, "Luo Feng, I’ve shown you plenty of respect; don’t mistake my kindness for weakness! I’ll ask you once more, will you give it or not?"

"Get lost!"

Luo Feng’s eyes flashed sharply; his voice thundered. As he spoke, a surge of majestic True Yuan waves swept outwards, causing a fierce storm within the forest.

"How’s this possible! How does he still have such terrifying True Yuan!"

The blue-clothed Martial Artist was momentarily stunned and looked at Luo Feng, then sneered, "Bluffing! Using tricks to deceive a three-year-old kid and daring to flaunt them before me! Since you are courting death, don’t blame me!"

Buzz!

As the words fell, the blue-clothed Martial Artist brandished his Longsword, a whirlwind formed around it, and he leapt towards Luo Feng through the air. As he advanced, the whirlwind on the sword suddenly expanded, tearing the earth around it with flying debris, the force astonishing.

"Stubborn!"

Luo Feng showed no emotion and directly struck with his blade.

Boom!

The Whip-like Sabre Light roared out, stretching hundreds of meters, causing the ground in front to collapse, and the cyan whirlwind was instantly obliterated.

"What! Could he not be bluffing!"

The blue-clothed Martial Artist’s face changed dramatically, hesitated no longer, and urgently used the Longsword to block in front of him.

Bang!

The Saber Gang slammed into his Longsword, his body was knocked away by the immense force transmitted through the blade, blood oozing from the corners of his mouth. Seeing Luo Feng preparing to strike again, he was scared out of his wits. He stomped hard on the ground, shot upwards, and scurried away in panic, not daring to look back.

Luo Feng and the Blood Fiend’s battle had been observed by him. The challenge was made due to the Blood Pill’s significant importance to him and the belief that Luo Feng, having exhausted his True Yuan after the battle, offered a fair chance of success.

But now, seeing things differently, he dared not linger at all.

Watching the retreating figure of the blue-clothed man, Jiang Fengfeng saw Luo Feng standing still and urged him, "Luo Feng, don’t let him escape! Go after him. Don’t worry about me... huh, Luo Feng, what’s wrong?"

Just as Jiang Fengfeng was about to urge Luo Feng to pursue the blue-clothed Martial Artist, she suddenly noticed an odd pallor on Luo Feng’s face.

Spurt!

Unable to hold back a mouthful of blood, Luo Feng’s legs wobbled, and he didn’t fall only because Jiang Fengfeng supported him.

"Are you... are you alright?" Jiang Fengfeng asked, feeling unsure.

Luo Feng consumed a healing Spirit Pill, wiped his mouth, and said with a wry smile, "Did you forget I just broke through to the Fourth Layer of the True Yuan Realm? What he said earlier wasn’t wrong; after the fight with the Blood Fiend, my True Yuan is mostly depleted, and even if I pursued him, I’m not sure I could kill him."

"Then earlier..." Jiang Fengfeng was surprised; she could still recall Luo Feng’s stern demeanor just moments ago.

"I was bluffing him. That earlier strike was already my full force." Luo Feng sat down cross-legged and said.

Jiang Fengfeng paused for a moment before questioning, "What if he hadn’t fled?"

"He would; no one wants to die." Luo Feng said calmly and decisively.

There’s certainly someone in front of me who isn’t afraid of death!

Jiang Fengfeng muttered in her heart, sitting beside him with pursed lips, "I have to hand it to you!"

Though she spoke lightly, deep inside, Jiang Fengfeng was filled with admiration, not for his strength but for his character.

In such a situation, Luo Feng could still remain calm and turn the tables on a True Yuan Realm Third Tier peak Martial Artist, evading danger with wit and courage few could match – even she couldn’t claim to.

"There may be other Martial Artists appearing; let’s quickly adjust and regroup with the others."

Luo Feng, unaware of Jiang Fengfeng’s various thoughts, put away the Blood Pill and closed his eyes to begin adjusting his True Yuan.
