Chapter 1362: Chapter 1359: Frightened Away, Chi Wei Apologizes

On the shore, Chi Wei and Qiu Yue watched Luo Feng and the Blood Shadow Demon General facing off from afar, holding their breath.

A Great Ability of the Yuan Sea Realm and over a dozen strong True Yuan Realm experts—just the clash of their auras was hard to bear, making it seem as if the very air above the lake was twisting, and this space couldn’t withstand the pressure, on the verge of collapsing at any moment.

“Hahahahahahaha…”

After staring at Luo Feng and the others for a moment, the Blood Shadow Demon General suddenly laughed aloud, his eyes gleaming slightly as he fixated on Luo Feng: “What a commitment to accompany until the end! Luo Feng, the heart of the Five-Colored Glazed Toad will stay with you for now; I shall come to retrieve it soon!”

The poison of the Flying Teeth Demon Fish could corrode a Martial Artist’s meridians, extremely troublesome, and only moments after being poisoned, the Blood Shadow Demon General felt his entire arm already numb, incapable of circulating True Yuan. If he continued to delay, even if he succeeded in expelling the poison later, it would leave a permanent damage, something he was not willing to risk.

Whoosh!

Shooting a fierce glance at Luo Feng, the Blood Shadow Demon General sealed the poison with True Yuan, gathering blood energy all over his body, and stamped his foot.

Rumble!

In the lake, waves surged as the Blood Shadow Demon General transformed into a solitary blood-red rainbow, ascending straight to the heavens, fleeing into the distance, his figure shrinking to a mere point in the blink of an eye.

Swipe!

Su Zhuyun cleaved the incoming giant wave apart with a single sword strike and looked up to find no trace of the Blood Shadow Demon General, softly exhaling,

“Fortunately he left. The Blood Shadow Demon General’s Blood Refining Sky Sacrifice Skill is a top-tier earth-level cultivation technique, allowing him, in times of danger, to refine his essence blood, betting his life in the process, a death-match we definitely wouldn’t withstand.”

“We actually repelled a Yuan Sea Realm Martial Artist…”

Jiang Fengfeng sheathed the Silver Ling Sword with a glint of pride on her beautiful face and, seeming to think of something, turned to Luo Feng and laughed: “Scaring away a Yuan Sea Realm Martial Artist, you must be the first person in history to do so.”

“I’m just telling the truth; no one wants to die.” Luo Feng chuckled.

“It’s not that simple; not everyone can remain so calm in such a situation. I certainly couldn’t.”

Jiang Fengfeng shook her head, deeply impressed by Luo Feng’s actions in this battle of life and death, acknowledging that although his strength wasn’t exceptionally high, the greatest credit for repelling the Blood Shadow Demon General went to Luo Feng.

Luo Feng laughed: “Hearing such words from you is even harder than repelling a Great Ability of the Yuan Sea Realm.”

“I…”

Jiang Fengfeng raised her eyebrows, just about to argue something, when her face suddenly turned pale.

Plop!

She spat a mouthful of fresh blood, her dress stained red, and her body powerless, began to fall toward the lake.

“Jiang Fengfeng!”

Luo Feng frowned, catching Jiang Fengfeng in his arms, finding her breath weak and her face pale as paper, she had already fainted. He immediately asked Su Zhuyun:

“Su Zhuyun, what’s wrong with her?”

Su Zhuyun seemed to have expected it, saying: “First, get her to the shore.”

Whoosh! Whoosh!

A few of them used Qinggong, reaching the shore in the blink of an eye.

“Luo Feng, what happened to Jiang Fengfeng?”

Yue Haitang and the others were shocked to see the unconscious Jiang Fengfeng.

Luo Feng shook his head, helping Jiang Fengfeng to lie down, as Su Zhuyun approached.

“The Sword Heart Qi Fusion Technique allows our realms to integrate, letting Fengfeng temporarily reach my realm and even breakthrough. But her realm is only the fifth level of True Yuan Realm, yet she exerted the strength of the ninth level, bearing an immense burden, so now her True Yuan is depleted, and her vitality is greatly weakened, hence the fainting.” Su Zhuyun explained while examining her.

Luo Feng frowned; he had been quite curious about how Jiang Fengfeng’s aura suddenly became that of a True Yuan Realm peak Martial Artist. Now understanding the reason, he immediately asked:

“Is she in danger? I have a Qingling Revitalizing Pill here.”

With a swipe of his finger, Luo Feng took out his last Qingling Revitalizing Pill.

“There’s no need. Although the Qingling Revitalizing Pill is a sacred healing medicine, it cannot restore a Martial Artist’s vitality. Don’t worry; she’s just severely depleted, not in life-threatening danger, but to recover quickly, she’ll need something to replenish her vitality greatly.”

Su Zhuyun declined the Qingling Revitalizing Pill, pulling out a blood-red Spirit Pill from the storage ring and administered it to Jiang Fengfeng, continuing: “I only have a fourth-grade Spirit Pill, the Blood Essence Pill. We must purchase some vitality-replenishing Spirit Pills from the nearby city for her to recover quickly.”

Upon hearing this, Luo Feng breathed a sigh of relief and turned to Qiu Yue: “Qiu Yue, which is the nearest city around here?”

Though Luo Feng had plenty of pills with him, he didn’t possess any Spirit Pills for replenishing vitality.

“The nearest city is Yunfeng City, about over a thousand miles to the northwest.” Qiu Yue, having recovered significantly from his injuries, replied.

Luo Feng nodded, “Alright, this place is not safe to linger in. We’ll rest briefly and then immediately head to Yunfeng City.”

Turning around, Luo Feng’s gaze returned to Jiang Fengfeng.

After ingesting the Blood Essence Pill, her complexion was visibly rosier. Gazing at Jiang Fengfeng, Luo Feng felt a tinge of sentiment.

Su Zhuyun and Jiang Fengfeng, even if they deployed the Sword Heart Qi Fusion Technique, were only ninth-level True Yuan Realm Martial Artists, yet they were able to hold off the Blood Shadow Demon General for so long, the Sword Tomb Swordsmen’s prowess is truly formidable.

In a few days, Su Zhuyun might be able to directly contend with a Yuan Sea Realm Martial Artist, not surprising considering she once gravely injured the Corpse Ghost Taoist with a single sword strike.

However, this doesn’t imply that the Corpse Ghost Taoist is weak but rather that Su Zhuyun is exceedingly strong, and further, the Sword Intent can sever all evil, perfectly countering the blood zombie nature of the Corpse Ghost Taoist.

Regaining his composure, Luo Feng looked away and noticed Qiu Yue still watching him.

“What’s the matter?”

Qiu Yue smiled wryly: “From our previous battle, I thought I had quite understood your strength. Now, it seems I’m nothing but a frog in a well. Thanks to you this time, we managed to escape this crisis. I will remember this kindness deeply.”

“I also don’t want to die.”

Luo Feng shook his head, fully aware that the entire incident was triggered by him.

Just as he was about to sit down and regulate his breathing, Luo Feng suddenly frowned.

Gah!

Nearby, a blood zombie, its body sliced in two, suddenly lunged upward, leaping towards Chi Wei, who was closest.

“Ah!”

The sudden turn of events startled Chi Wei into a scream, her hands instinctively shielding in front of her.

Swipe!

Luo Feng reacted swiftly, appearing in front of Chi Wei in a flash, delivering a punch.

Bang!

The air shattered, and the blood zombie, with only half its body left, uttered a wolf-like whimper as its withered form ignited from the intense punch, exploding into countless fiery sparks mid-air, scattering to the ground.

Whoa…

Exhaling a deep breath, Luo Feng turned back to the half-frightened Chi Wei, his expression slightly cold, “This blood zombie is merely at the mid-level of the Four Spirit Rotations; with your strength, you should be able to slay it. Not every moment will someone be there to save you. Stop causing trouble for others.”

Hearing Luo Feng’s reprimanding tone, Chi Wei’s face turned slightly pale.

As a third princess of the Dali Dynasty, she had been showered with love all her life and had never faced such a reproach. Coupled with the fright she had just received, she instantly broke down, tears streaming down like strings of pearls, trembling as she said:

“I’m… I’m sorry… I’m sorry…”

Glancing at Chi Wei, Luo Feng shook his head and just as he turned around, his eyes narrowed slightly.

He sensed two extremely strong auras encroaching from afar…
