Chapter 1454: I Will Come Back Alive!

“Lin Feng…” Wu Mei, with a touch of sorrow, reached out her hand, gently caressing Lin Feng’s face. Her voice trembled as she said, “You, you must be careful… make sure to come back alive!”

Unlike many women, even though she was very worried, Wu Mei wouldn’t act willfully and follow him at such a moment. She knew that she absolutely couldn’t hold Lin Feng back now; otherwise, she might end up harming him instead.

“Silly girl, don’t you know how powerful I am? Rest assured…” Lin Feng, smiling warmly, looked at Wu Mei, reached out, and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, speaking softly, “I will definitely come back alive!”

After Lin Feng bid farewell to Wu Mei, the Mage Hong Yi also instructed his remaining disciples to stay in the temple and protect Wu Mei carefully. Then, the two exchanged a knowing glance and, in an instant, soared into the air, lightly leaping over the temple wall and swiftly heading down the mountain.

…

At the foot of the mountain, the power transfer from King of Hell to Jade Raksha was nearing its end. The solid-looking white inner strength energy sphere had completely flowed into the Jade Raksha’s body, and at this moment, the Jade Raksha’s vitality had also made significant progress. Although her complexion couldn’t compare to its prime, it was much better than the dryness she had before.

As for Zhou Yang, he still couldn’t do anything, silently watching as his kungfu was transferred into Jade Raksha’s body.

“Thank you, Sect Hierarch, for your grace. I have recovered 50% of my peak strength and can continue to serve the Sect Hierarch!” Jade Raksha respectfully spoke to the enigmatic woman floating in the air.

“What about the Holy Artifact?” King of Hell finally spoke, staring at Jade Raksha with a gloomy voice. Her voice was somewhat hoarse, like it had been mixed, making it hard to determine the gender.

“The Holy Artifact…” Upon hearing King of Hell’s question, Jade Raksha’s calm expression disappeared instantly, replaced by a look of extreme fear. “Please forgive me, Sect Hierarch, I was captured, and the Holy Artifact was taken away…”

“Hmph! Useless!” King of Hell, with a face like eternal ice, suddenly grew cold, fiercely glaring at Jade Raksha. Without any visible movement, Jade Raksha seemed to be hit by an invisible sledgehammer, her whole being was flung five meters away, and with a thud, collided with a large tree before falling down.

Wow… Jade Raksha couldn’t help but spit out some blood foam; King of Hell’s anger had already caused her significant injury… and this was even with King of Hell holding back, needing her combat strength.

“Please calm your anger, Sect Hierarch! Although I lost the Holy Artifact, I know its whereabouts. As long as we find the one who captured me, Lin Feng, we can naturally retrieve the Holy Artifact from him!” Jade Raksha, enduring the pain in her chest and abdomen, explained to King of Hell with difficulty.

“Lin Feng, so it was him who took away the Holy Artifact again?!” King of Hell slightly narrowed her eyes, a weird expression flashing across her face. “If the Holy Artifact is with him, then it will be easy to handle…”

King of Hell’s sense ability was strong, and she could now clearly sense two innate auras rushing down from Jiming Temple’s mountain. In a few minutes, Lin Feng and that old monk from Jiming Temple would appear in front of her, and she would deal with them together then…

Jade Raksha didn’t understand the meaning behind King of Hell’s words, but she knew that it was best not to speak out of turn to avoid triggering King of Hell’s displeasure, which could lead to further suffering.

“Holy Girl, kill that useless guy!” Suddenly, King of Hell pointed at Zhou Yang and said flatly to Jade Raksha.

“Yes!” Jade Raksha walked to Zhou Yang’s side, extending her delicate jade hand, ready to kill the defenseless Zhou Yang. At this moment, she suddenly remembered the familiarity between Lin Feng and Zhou Yang, and couldn’t help but say, “Sect Hierarch, this man is quite close to Lin Feng. Keeping him alive might be useful?”

“Oh?” King of Hell looked at Jade Raksha with some amusement, and seeing she was sincere, nodded indifferently. “If that’s the case, then do as you see fit!”

With King of Hell’s pride, she naturally didn’t concern herself with Zhou Yang’s potential leverage, but comparatively, she didn’t care about Zhou Yang’s life or death either.

After finding the key to her shackles on Zhou Yang, Jade Raksha unlocked the two pairs of shackles and directly chained Zhou Yang’s hands and feet. Then she turned to look at King of Hell, waiting for her next command… but Jade Raksha couldn’t comprehend why Sect Hierarch was standing still, just quietly watching in the direction of Jiming Temple.

What is Sect Hierarch waiting for? Jade Raksha curiously looked towards Jiming Temple and was very surprised to see two figures leaping nimbly, moving extremely swiftly, appearing just a few hundred meters away in an instant…

Lin Feng and Mage Hong Yi! Two innate masters! Jade Raksha was a bit surprised, realizing that King of Hell had been waiting for these two to come down from the mountain. Did she intend to take them both on alone?!

Jade Raksha felt a bit uneasy. If it were the real King of Hell here, Jade Raksha would naturally believe that King of Hell could easily overpower Lin Feng and Mage Hong Yi. But, the problem was… the King of Hell before her eyes was just an avatar of King of Hell, with power not even reaching 30% of the real King of Hell’s strength. How could she face two innate masters at once?!

Jade Raksha herself hadn’t regained even a hint of innate vitality at this time, at most akin to a fourth-level inner strength master, completely useless in a battle of innate masters, likely unable to assist King of Hell at all.

“I didn’t think your information was so well-informed! So eager to come here to die, you really saved me the trouble of looking for you…” King of Hell, or rather, the King of Hell’s avatar, coldly eyed Lin Feng and Mage Hong Yi, speaking without a trace of emotion.

Lin Feng, who hurried here, finally relaxed seeing Zhou Yang was still alive and well. He feared he might have been too late and wouldn’t know how to face things if that were the case.

“Floating in the air… does she grasp the gravity concept?” Mage Hong Yi’s concern wasn’t Zhou Yang; his entire attention was focused on King of Hell. Seeing King of Hell floating in mid-air, a look of terror flashed across his face, and he unconsciously blurted a warning, “Lin Feng, be careful! This woman is a Sixth Heaven master!”

“Sixth Heaven! Above innate?!” Lin Feng’s expression changed. Of all the people he knew, the most powerful was Lu Lu’s grandfather, Lu Yuming. However, even Lu Yuming, who possessed unfathomable supernatural techniques, wasn’t a Sixth Heaven master. How terrifying was this person before him?!
