"Puh ah!!!"
Gongyang Lu was directly impaled onto a tree by a branch, hanging in mid-air, and spouting a mouthful of blood.
His entire face twisted, a picture of exhaustion and despair.
At this mont, Jiang Feng appeared with a indifferent expression, strolling casually from the mountain path.
"Jiang Feng, you... you're not human... you're a devil! Don't kill ! I really... won't offend you again... I beg you, spare my life... I really don't want to die..."
Gongyang Lu, coughing up blood, begged Jiang Feng weakly.
He truly felt trapped in a nightmare; this young man before him was unbeatable and unescapable, his ultimate nesis!
"No one wants to die, but today, you're dood to die."
Jiang Feng said calmly, "However, before you die, if you're willing to disclose the current situation of the Tianji Pavilion, such as who sent you, I might allow you a more painless death."
"In your dreams!"
Gongyang Lu responded angrily, "There's no way I'll betray the Tianji Pavilion!"
"Hmm, you are quite loyal."
Jiang Feng chuckled, "Do you know why I specifically avoided your vital points just now?"
Saying that, Jiang Feng kicked up another branch with his foot and grabbed it.
Then, with a "whoosh", he threw it again, piercing through Gongyang Lu's upper body once more.
This ti too, it avoided vital organs, so as not to claim Gongyang Lu's life imdiately.
"Ah!!! You're not human, you're not human!"
Gongyang Lu let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered, but no matter how much he struggled, it was all in vain. All he could do was incoherently repeat the sa phrase.
"Still stubborn?"
Next, Jiang Feng picked up several branches and threw them consecutively at Gongyang Lu, nailing seven of them to his body!
Blood flowed from Gongyang Lu down to cover the entire tree in a deep red.
Yet, he continued to cling to life, not dead yet.
"Make... it quick..."
Eventually, as Gongyang Lu's consciousness began to fade, he weakly muttered.
"You've gotten wiser now." Jiang Feng said calmly.
His brutal ans were a part of avenging Liu Shiyuan.
"It was... Jing Hall's Hall Master... Jing Kuiyuan... who sent to Binhai to eliminate you..."
Gongyang Lu confessed hesitantly, "Jing Kuiyuan... is sworn brothers with the War Soul Hall's Commander in the Tianji Pavilion's Main Pavilion... Xia Houba..."
"Previously... a hundred people from the War Soul Hall... and even the duty elder Kui Yu... died by your hand... Xia Houba was thunderously furious... and wanted to retaliate against you..."
"But now... he is accompanying the true core leaders of the Main Pavilion... in a secret major undertaking at Tiandang Mountain... he couldn't break away... so he only sent Jing Kuiyuan... and I'm a direct subordinate of Jing Kuiyuan..."
"Tiandang Mountain?"
Jiang Feng frowned. Where was this? He had never heard of it.
"What's the Tianji Pavilion plotting with this 'major undertaking'?"
"I don't know..."
Gongyang Lu's face was deathly pale, nearly drained of blood: "That's... only for the Main Pavilion's people... or people of Jing Kuiyuan's level... to know... I'm too low-ranked... they'd never let in on it..."
"What else do you know?"
Jiang Feng asked coldly.
"Nothing more... I bear you no grudge... if not for this... do you think... I would co to Binhai?"
Gongyang Lu said pitifully, "Jiang Feng... make it quick... you promised ..."
Jiang Feng remained expressionless. He could tell that this old guy was probably telling the truth and that there was nothing else valuable to extract from him.
Imdiately, Jiang Feng picked up the final branch.
Just at that mont, Gongyang Lu seed to have a burst of strength, suddenly raising his head, staring intently at Jiang Feng: "Jiang Feng! Don't think that by killing today, you'll find peace! Haha... let tell you, my skills in the Jing Hall are only diocre!"
"For years, the Jing Hall has been biding its ti... with talents erging... a hidden world of wonders... far beyond your imagination!"
"Just wait... Jing Kuiyuan won't let you off! He'll send stronger n... or even... co to Binhai personally!"
"By then... it will be your end... hahaha!"
Jiang Feng shook his head: "Many have said similar things to , yet here I am, still alive and well."
Without further words, Jiang Feng nailed the branch, this ti piercing Gongyang Lu's forehead.
Gongyang Lu finally breathed his last, a mix of relief and resentnt on his face!
Jiang Feng unleashed his Demon Skill, transforming the guy's corpse into Demonic Qi to absorb, before turning back.
Perhaps it was an illusion, but after he ended Gongyang Lu's life, the ominous and resentful aura in the deep mountains seed to slowly dissipate.
In the night sky, the lunar eclipse had vanished, the clear moonlight finally breaking through the clouds to illuminate the ground.
The soft moonlight cast a sense of tranquility and harmony over the forest, with fragnted shadows falling on the tree branches...
Even the temperature had beco warm and moist again.
...
"Xiao Feng!"
Just as Jiang Feng and the others were heading back, the Demoness and her group were approaching from the mountain path.
They had already rescued Shangguan Wan'er, but Shangguan Wan'er still felt too embarrassed to face Jiang Feng.
Her clothes had been torn by Gongyang Lu, and she was now wearing the Demoness's outer gown.
"Are you alright?"
Jiang Feng looked at Shangguan Wan'er's sorrowful gaze. He wanted to reach out and wipe the dust off her face.
"Don't touch —"
But suddenly, Shangguan Wan'er stepped back, her eyes red, biting her lip, "I... am dirty..."
Hearing this, not only did Jiang Feng feel his heart clench, but the Demoness and her group also felt uncomfortable.
"Young Lady, what are you saying! That old beast didn't really defile you, nor were you exposed, he just tore a bit of your clothing..." Dong Ruyan hurriedly consoled.
"Stop it!" Shangguan Wan'er shook her head in distress, unable to face Jiang Feng, and turned away.
Her body was only for Jiang Feng to see!
For any man to glimpse even an inch of her skin was a violation she couldn't tolerate!!
"Wan'er—" Kong Guyoulan wanted to say sothing but stopped.
"Ruyan, go follow her, try to comfort her."
Seeing this, the Demoness could only sigh and say to Dong Ruyan.
Dong Ruyan nodded and imdiately followed.
At this point, the Demoness turned back to Jiang Feng and said, "Xiao Feng, did you deal with that old guy? How can such people exist in the world?"
"Indeed, the fact that he could control the dead, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it!" Kong Guyoulan also comnted.
"There are plenty of strange people like that in the world."
Jiang Feng said blandly, "But let's leave him aside for now, answer this—where in China is Tiandang Mountain, do you know?"
