Luo Feng was hidden in the canopy, looking down at the three people below.
The Blood Essence Demon Vine’s strength was equivalent to a third-stage Spiritual Rotation Realm Martial Artist. Its speed was extrely fast, appearing and disappearing mysteriously within the dense forest, proving quite troubleso to deal with.
Faced with a siege by hundreds of Blood Essence Demon Vines, the three responded with considerable composure.
"Turning Rivers into Triple Waves!"
The stoic young man’s body sank slightly, his Mysterious Steel spear thrusting into the air repeatedly.
WHOOSH...
Fierce spear energy roared forth, stacking upon each other to form a blue curtain of spear energy that pressed forward. Wherever it passed, blood-colored vines were crushed into dust, and even the ground level was scraped lower.
The stoic young man was an early third-stage Spiritual Rotation Realm Martial Artist. His cultivation was the lowest among the three, but his attacks were rciless, each seeming very powerful.
The swordsmanship and Qinggong of the blue-robed young man beside him were quite exceptional. As his figure flickered, his sword light ford a continuous swath. Each sword thrust caused the air to tremble ceaselessly. His cultivation was around the late-third stage of the Spiritual Rotation Realm.
What Luo Feng paid most attention to was the young woman in green.
Her sword techniques were simple and unadorned, yet each stroke carried a strong sharpness; her Sword Dao cultivation had obviously reached a very high realm.
Moreover, this young woman had grasped Sword Intent. Her movents seed slow, but she had slain the most Blood Essence Demon Vines.
What struck Luo Feng as strange was that the young woman in green was clearly an early fourth-stage Spiritual Rotation Realm Martial Artist, yet her aura was extrely weak, even weaker than that of the blue-robed young man.
She must be wounded, Luo Feng guessed. Otherwise, her strength wouldn’t be this limited.
Under their combined might, the number of Blood Essence Demon Vines rapidly decreased.
SQUEAK!
Suddenly, from the depths of the dense forest, an ear-piercing scream rang out.
In an instant, all Blood Essence Demon Vines retreated as if they had received an order, all shrinking back into the ground and fleeing into the distance.
"Where do you think you’re going!"
The stoic young man shouted, his silver spear flashing like lightning, and was about to give chase.
"Qi Yunfeng, don’t chase," the young woman in green said.
The blue-robed young man exhaled a murky breath and returned his sword to its sheath. Looking at the corpses of the Blood Essence Demon Vines littered around the young woman in green, he gave a bitter smile, "ng Ran, you’re injured, yet your swordsmanship is still so formidable."
Her pretty face still flushed, the young woman in green wiped sweat from her forehead, then smiled and said, "Mu Hui, with your potential, surpassing is just a matter of ti."
"Tao ngran, the first to surpass you will definitely be !" the stoic young man declared, striding closer.
"Perhaps," Tao ngran replied, her tone sowhat indifferent, seemingly dissatisfied with the stoic young man’s arrogant attitude.
Mu Hui looked into the depths of the crimson, dense forest, his eyes sparkling. He smiled and said, "At least our quest wasn’t in vain. Since we’ve found Blood Essence Demon Vines here, there must be Fla Fruit inside. ng Ran, this ti, you can definitely eliminate the cold energy in your body!"
Tao ngran glanced at the corpses of the Blood Essence Demon Vines on the ground, her Daii furrowing slightly. "We struggled to deal with these Blood Essence Demon Vines. The mother vine is a late fifth-rank Demon Beast, equivalent to a fourth-stage Spiritual Rotation Realm Martial Artist, and it’s particularly frightening in this forest. If I weren’t injured, I could have put up a fight, but with our current strength, I’m afraid..."
The stoic young man glanced at a nearby Martial Artist’s corpse, which was little more than skin and flesh, swallowed, then said, "Mu Hui, why don’t we return to Red Valley City first, summon our family’s skilled Martial Artists, and co back next ti?"
"No," Mu Hui refused outright. He looked at the young woman in green, a touch of resolution in his eyes, and said, "ng Ran was injured by Chu Haoran’s Cold Invading Palm. It’s already been a month. If we don’t quickly drive out the cold energy in her body, I fear it will damage her ridians, making it impossible for her cultivation to progress ever again! Even if it’s risky, we have to try now."
At those words, everyone fell silent.
Just as Mu Hui had said, if the cold energy from the Cold Invading Palm wasn’t expelled soon, it was highly likely to damage the ridians.
"Who’s there!"
Caught in a dilemma, the young woman in green’s Daii twitched slightly, her gaze suddenly turning towards a dense treetop several hundred ters away.
"Soone’s there?" prompted by the young woman in green, Mu Hui also sensed a hidden presence nearby.
"Co out!" The stoic young man’s eyes flashed, and the long spear in his hand swept out.
SWISH!
A crescent-shaped wave of Gang Qi whistled out, the fierce wind it generated causing the surrounding trees to rustle loudly.
BANG!
Just as the Gang Qi wave was about to blast the giant tree apart, a streak of red fla suddenly burst from within the canopy, cleanly dispersing the Gang Qi.
SWOOSH!
A figure landed elegantly on the ground.
"Who are you? How dare you follow us!" Killing intent flashed in the stoic young man’s eyes as he tightly gripped his Mysterious Steel spear.
Luo Feng ignored the stoic young man’s glare and glanced at the young woman in green, sowhat surprised.
Just monts ago, I was about to co down from the tree, but I didn’t expect her to notice already. Her perception is truly sharp. Of course, it’s still far from matching mine.
"Don’t be alard," Luo Feng said, "I just happened to be passing by. I have no hostile intentions."
"Just happened to be passing by? How could it be such a coincidence!" A cold smile curled the corner of the stoic young man’s lips.
Luo Feng’s eyebrows furrowed slightly. I’ve already explained myself, but this stoic young man is still so aggressive.
"Qi Yunfeng!" The young woman in green cast an admonishing glance at the stoic young man. She stepped forward, sized up Luo Feng, and noticed his handso features and the faint sharpness in his gaze. He’s likely not a malicious person, she thought, then smiled. "I am Tao ngran, a disciple of the Purple Mist Palace from the Six Northern Domains of the Canglang Dynasty. May I ask who you are, Sir?"
A disciple of the Purple Mist Palace... Luo Feng’s eyes flashed; he now understood why he had never heard these three nas. The Purple Mist Palace is one of the six Golden Palaces in the Six Northern Domains, holding the sa status as the six Golden Palaces in the Six Southern Domains.
Luo Feng thought for a mont, then cupped his hands. "I am Feng Luo, a disciple of Jade Hall. I heard the sounds of fighting and ca to take a look."
Given what happened before, I can’t be sure if these people have any connection with the experts from Qingyun Mansion. It’s better to hide my identity, he mused.
"I see." Tao ngran nodded slightly, not suspicious. The sound of their intense battle earlier could probably be heard for miles.
"So, you’re from a Golden Palace of the Six Southern Domains..." the stoic young man glanced at Luo Feng and snorted.
The blue-robed young man coughed lightly and stepped forward. "I am Mu Hui, a disciple of the Purple Mist Palace. This is my junior brother, Qi Yunfeng."
Luo Feng nodded and cupped his hands. "It’s a pleasure to et you all. I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave."
Just as Luo Feng was about to depart, Mu Hui suddenly hurried after him.
"Feng Luo, please wait!"
Luo Feng stopped and turned back. "Is sothing wrong?"
Mu Hui hesitated for a mont, then said, "Feng Luo, I have a request. We are preparing to go into the Blood Demon Forest to find Fla Fruit. As you saw earlier, this forest is ho to Blood Essence Demon Vines and is very dangerous. I would like to ask for your help."
"Mu Hui, why are you asking him for help!" the stoic young man exclaid, his gaze dissatisfied.
"I know what I’m doing," Mu Hui replied, then looked at Luo Feng. "My friend, Tao ngran, had her ridians injured by the Cold Invading Palm. Only the Fla Elental Gold Pill, refined from Fla Fruit, can completely expel the cold energy. Please consider it. If this is successful, I, Mu Hui, will reward you generously."
This is deep within the Red Dragon Mountain Range, one of the eight great ominous lands. Since Luo Feng ca here alone, he must also be a Spiritual Rotation Realm Martial Artist. Every bit of extra strength now ans more hope. Naturally, I don’t want to miss this chance, Mu Hui thought.
"You want to help you?" Luo Feng asked, a little surprised. Given Mu Hui’s age and cultivation, he should be a sowhat well-known expert in the Six Northern Domains. Experts like him usually have their pride and don’t easily ask for help. It seems this Tao ngran is extrely important to him.
Noticing Luo Feng’s gaze, Mu Hui gave a dry laugh. "ng Ran and I are childhood friends; we grew up in the sa academy."
"I didn’t ask about your relationship," Luo Feng said with a slight smile.
Hearing this, Mu Hui’s expression stiffened, and Tao ngran, beside him, also looked rather awkward.
Looking at the two of them, Luo Feng was suddenly reminded of Bing Ruolan. A smile touched his lips, and he exhaled. "I can help you, but on one condition."
"What condition? As long as it’s within my power, I’ll definitely agree!" Mu Hui said hurriedly.
"Of the Fla Fruit we obtain, you can only take one. The rest will all belong to ," Luo Feng stated calmly.
I hadn’t originally planned to go for the Fla Fruit. The Blood Essence Demon Vine mother is a high-rank fifth-level Demon Beast; trying to get it with my current strength would be extrely dangerous. But with these three, the chances of success are much higher. Cultivating the Golden Crow Great Annihilation Saber requires spiritual items containing Fire Yuan Qi. This Fla Fruit is perfectly suitable. This is a win-win situation.
"You want all the other Fla Fruits!" Hearing Luo Feng’s words, the stoic young man’s eyebrows shot up, and he laughed coldly. "You’re far too greedy! Even without you, we can still get the Fla Fruit!"
"Then, I must decline," Luo Feng replied, not bothering to argue, and turned to leave.
"Feng Luo, wait!" Mu Hui called out, then looked at Luo Feng and said, "I agree to your condition!"
"What? Mu Hui, are you insane!" the stoic young man stared at Mu Hui, his face full of shock.
Mu Hui shook his head. "ng Ran only needs one Fla Fruit to refine the pill."
Tao ngran looked at Luo Feng, a hint of curiosity in her eyes. She hadn’t expected Luo Feng to propose such harsh terms.
"I don’t agree!" The stoic young man glared angrily at Luo Feng, his eyes full of disdain. He snorted, "He’s just a third-stage Spiritual Rotation Realm Martial Artist. I think he’ll only be a burden. Why should we give all the remaining Fla Fruits to him!"
Mu Hui frowned slightly, caught in a difficult position.
"It seems you doubt my strength," Luo Feng glanced at the stoic young man with a smile and pressed down lightly with his right foot.
HUM!
The airflow reversed, and the ground around Luo Feng abruptly sank, forming a circle one ter in diater.
The three of them looked at Luo Feng, unsure of his intentions.
Standing in the center of the circle, Luo Feng clapped his hands, looked at the stoic young man, and said calmly, "Within three moves, if you can force out of this circle, I won’t take a single Fla Fruit after we get them. How about it?"
"Three moves?" The stoic young man’s face stiffened in astonishnt.
Mu Hui and Tao ngran also looked shocked; they had never expected Luo Feng to say such a thing.
To withstand three attacks from a third-stage Spiritual Rotation Realm Martial Artist within a one-ter radius... that’s too crazy!
"Feng Luo, you don’t have to..." Mu Hui began, preparing to diate.
Luo Feng waved his hand, his gaze fixed on the stoic young man. "It’s fine. Since I made this proposal, I must have the corresponding strength. Otherwise, how could I convince anyone?"
Seeing Luo Feng’s insistence, Mu Hui sighed and said, "Then, please be careful."
"Hahaha... Receive three moves from ! You’re the one who said it." The stoic young man laughed out of anger, his long spear quivering.
BOOM!
The Mysterious Steel long spear stirred up a green spear energy that surged forty to fifty feet high. The stoic young man looked at Luo Feng, narrowing his eyes. "Don’t bla if you get hurt!"
