Chapter 549: Chapter 18: The Cruel Survival Rules of the Thunder Blade Secret Realm
Whoosh…
Lin Feng leaped through the forest, covering dozens of ters with each bound, his understanding of the “Golden Body Feathered Wings” now much deeper, and his speed no longer comparable to the past.
As night fell, Lin Feng rested by a small stream with roast at on the campfire turning golden brown, emitting an enticing aroma.
Lin Feng sliced off a piece of roast at and took a bite, finding the taste quite good.
At that mont, four cultivators approached from the distance. The leader, a middle-aged cultivator with a tall stature and an ostensibly hearty deanor, clasped his hands together in greeting and said with a smile, “Brother, my na is Qi Hongye, and I, along with three brothers, am just passing by. Wouldn’t mind if we also sit here, would you?”
Lin Feng nodded and replied, “Have a seat anywhere, this place isn’t mine anyway.”
He had no intention of engaging in much conversation with these four cultivators. They were strangers brought together by chance; why bother getting to know each other?
A lean cultivator said, “Little brother, your at roasting skills are quite impressive.”
“Take so and eat.”
Lin Feng threw the roast at to the skinny man.
“Ha-ha, you’re a straightforward fellow, I, Qi Hongye, like that. You gave us roast at, it would be rude not to reciprocate. Try so of this fine wine I made myself, it’s been buried underground for ten years.”
As he spoke, Qi Hongye handed a jar of wine to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng’s eyebrows raised slightly as he took the jar, popped the stopper, and took a sip, saying, “This wine is quite strong!”
“It’s a potent liquor, very high proof. A man should drink this kind of strong liquor!”
Qi Hongye laughed heartily, taking out four more jars to share with everyone. Then he gulped down his wine like water, leaving Lin Feng gaping in astonishnt.
Lin Feng chatted with the four n, neither too warmly nor too coldly.
However, it didn’t take long for Lin Feng to feel a heat spreading through his body and a dizziness in his head.
He shook his head, muttering to himself, “What’s happening to ?”
“Ha-ha, boy, you’ve been poisoned!”
The lean cultivator burst into laughter when he saw Lin Feng’s confused expression.
The four no longer concealed their intentions, leaping to their feet with a cold gaze fixed on Lin Feng as if looking at a dead man.
Lin Feng stood up, leaning against a large tree, and asked, “Did you poison the wine?”
“Of course not, this is fine wine. We wouldn’t waste it like that,”
Qi Hongye said with a smile.
“Why am I poisoned then?” Lin Feng asked with a cold look toward the n, his gaze scanning the jade stones hanging from their waists.
“So that’s how it is. It seems there was sothing sared on your jade stones, emitting a faint fragrance. I noticed it earlier but didn’t think much of it. Now it seems that the scent reacted with the liquor to turn your strong wine into poison. Am I right?”
Lin Feng said.
The four n were obviously taken aback, but soon snickered coldly.
“You’re right, we coated them with Heart-eating Grass essence, and the strong liquor I brewed contains an ingredient called Dragon Nightshade Vine. When combined with the essence’s scent, it becos a deadly poison,”
Qi Hongye explained.
“A Martial King Realm Seventh Level expert and three Fifth Level experts banding together to take down a lone Martial General Realm cultivator—was all this trouble really necessary?” Lin Feng shook his head.
“We saw you at the Spiritual Mine and suspected you had powerful treasures. Though we’re not worried about you causing us any trouble, we still feared you might escape with those treasures, and all our efforts would be in vain,”
Qi Hongye replied coldly.
“Such ticulous thinking, it really was my treasures you were after,” Lin Feng said, “You chose to strike because I was alone, correct?”
“You can’t bla us for your death. This is the Thunder Blade Secret Realm, where deceit and life-and-death fights are rife, all for the sake of profit. We kill you out of necessity,”
Qi Hongye said.
“Is there ever a ti when killing is the only option? Perhaps you can choose to leave the antidote for and then depart,” Lin Feng said with a smile.
Another pudgy cultivator snickered, “Kid, are you out of your mind? We plotted to deal with you and kill you for your treasures. And you expect us to let you go?”
The tall and thin cultivator sneered, “Let handle this brat and put an end to this.”
Whoosh…
As the words died away, the skilled cultivator leaped forward, his right hand shaped like an eagle’s claw, reaching for Lin Feng’s neck.
It seed that his strike would crush Lin Feng’s neck in an instant.
But at that mont, Lin Feng’s body shifted slightly to the left, dodging the tall and thin cultivator’s strike. Then Lin Feng reached out with his right hand, grabbing the tall and thin cultivator’s neck.
“How is this possible?” the tall and thin cultivator cried out in disbelief.
Crack.
But the next mont, his neck was twisted and broken by Lin Feng.
Then his body fell to the ground, lifeless.
“Old Four”
…
Seeing the tall and thin cultivator killed by Lin Feng, the three people with Qi Hongye roared, their eyes filled with a chilling murderous intent.
Qi Hongye roared incredulously, “Why? Why weren’t you poisoned?”
“Sorry, I am an alchemist. So when I opened the wine jar, I imdiately slled the ingredients inside, which, of course, included Dragon Nightshade Vine and the Heart-eating Grass liquid sared on your jade pendants. While I didn’t take an antidote in advance like you did, before drinking, I quietly slipped a piece of Cordyceps into it. Since you are aware of the effect of Dragon Nightshade Vine, you should know that when Cordyceps encounters it, they quickly rge into another type of Spiritual Liquid. So, the fusion of Heart-eating Grass and Dragon Nightshade Vine ant to poison naturally could not occur. And I, I was rely acting along with you all.”
Lin Feng shrugged his shoulders.
At this mont, all three of them realized that Lin Feng had been playing them all along.
This guy had seen through so things early on.
“How dare you play us!” The features of the three with Qi Hongye twisted in rage.
“I’m not playing with you; you’re the ones after my life. I even gave you the chance to leave the antidote and go. Back then, I hadn’t intended to take your lives, but I guess I was wrong. This is the Thunder Blade Secret Realm, where for the sake of benefits, one can brazenly kill. Maybe that’s the brutal rule here,” said Lin Feng with a sigh.
“Boy, even if you are not poisoned, with your cultivation of the Martial General Realm, you are dood today.” Qi Hongye shouted coldly, very cautiously. He exchanged glances with the other two, and together they launched an attack on Lin Feng.
“It’s useless. Your cultivation levels are indeed strong, but before , you are as weak and insignificant as ants,” Lin Feng muttered, stepping forward as a terrifying and unimaginable aura emanated from his body.
“Trend.”
This was actually “Trend.”
Qi Hongye and the others found they couldn’t even move; they were suppressed by the “Trend” radiating from Lin Feng.
“No, spare us!” they scread in terror, only then realizing the terribly fearso being they had provoked.
“I gave you a chance, but you did not cherish it.”
Lin Feng’s indifferent voice resonated.
As he walked past the bodies of Qi Hongye and the others.
Bang…
Their bodies couldn’t withstand the powerful “Trend” from Lin Feng; they exploded into pieces, with their fragnted corpses scattered throughout the mountain forest.
