"Senior Sister Yue’er!"
Upon seeing Lin Yue’er cough up blood, the expressions of the other two disciples from Linglong Hall changed slightly.
"Don’t get distracted!"
Lin Yue’er took a deep breath, suppressing the boiling Qi and blood within her body.
ROAR! ROAR! ROAR! ROAR!
The mont Lin Yue’er’s montum faltered, murderous intent flared in the fierce eyes of the four Wolf Tiger Horned Eagles. Flapping their wings, they spun violently, transforming into green wind drills that relentlessly attacked the trio.
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!
The three Linglong Hall disciples circulated their Yuan Qi, striving to resist, but they were still forced back continuously.
Why hasn’t Senior Sister Ling arrived yet... Seeing her two junior sisters pushed to their limits, Lin Yue’er felt a surge of anxiety.
ROAR!
Suddenly, a terrifying screech echoed from high above.
Lin Yue’er looked up, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, despair filling her beautiful eyes.
In the sky, a house-sized green hurricane swept towards them, the violent winds howling. Its ferocious aura uprooted nearby trees.
Two powerful Wolf Tiger Horned Eagles, hidden within the green hurricane, swooped down to attack.
"Senior Sister Yue’er, what do we do..."
The round-faced girl stared at the overwhelming hurricane, her right hand, gripping her sword, trembling slightly.
Lin Yue’er ground her silver teeth. A three to four-ter-long silver Sword Gang extended from her blade as she declared, "We fight to the death!"
BOOM!
Just as the three were preparing for a desperate battle, a loud sonic boom erupted from the horizon. A scarlet Saber Gang, like a bolt of lightning, shot over and plunged into the green hurricane.
HISS!
The terrifying green hurricane seed incredibly fragile before the Saber Gang and was shattered in an instant. One Wolf Tiger Horned Eagle hidden inside was cleaved in two. A torrent of blood rained down, dyeing a large area of the ground red.
This sudden turn of events startled the three Linglong Hall disciples. They turned to look in the direction from which the blade light had co.
Above the clouds stood a figure.
The figure was dressed in tight-fitting cyan garnts and held a red long knife that was as tall as a person. He stood as straight as a sword, his calm eyes brimming with an indescribable sharpness. His slightly slender fra contained boundless explosive power.
The newcor was Luo Feng.
ROAR!
The remaining three Wolf Tiger Horned Eagles also noticed Luo Feng. A cold glint shone in their eyes as their Demon Qi surged skyward, transforming into three streaks of green light that shot towards Luo Feng.
"Be careful!"
Seeing the three Wolf Tiger Horned Eagles simultaneously attacking Luo Feng, Lin Yue’er cried out a warning and said to the two beside her, "Junior Sisters, let’s go lend him a hand."
Just then, a vast and terrifying pressure perated the air from above.
The hearts of the three disciples lurched, and they couldn’t help but look up.
Facing the three attacking Wolf Tiger Horned Eagles, Luo Feng’s eyes flashed. He slashed down with his knife.
"Golden Sun Breaking Slash!"
SQUELCH!
A massive, circular Saber Gang, like a colossal blazing sun, whistled forth, shining brilliantly as it carved a red trajectory over a thousand ters long in mid-air.
The three Wolf Tiger Horned Eagles froze in place. The next mont, they were torn to pieces, and a bloody rain poured down.
He killed three Wolf Tiger Horned Eagles with a single slash! Lin Yue’er’s beautiful eyes widened in astonishnt, and she couldn’t help but draw a sharp breath.
The newcor was clearly about her age, yet his strength could only be described as terrifying.
To instantly kill three Wolf Tiger Horned Eagles with a single strike was a feat that many Martial Artists in the early fifth layer of the Spiritual Rotation Realm might not be capable of. Yet, the man before them was rely at the peak of the fourth layer of the Spiritual Rotation Realm.
"We... we’re saved..."
The round-faced girl gazed at Luo Feng in a daze, her bright eyes misting over. Having narrowly escaped death, she was so overco with relief and joy that she was on the verge of tears.
"This person is incredible."
The red-dressed woman beside her stuck out her pink tongue, a look of admiration in her eyes.
With a flicker of his figure, Luo Feng landed lightly in front of the three. He glanced at them, noted their injuries, and asked, "Are you alright?"
"Just so minor injuries. Compared to our lives, they’re nothing."
Lin Yue’er shook her head with a smile. Her face was pale from her injuries, but her smile remained radiant and captivating. She sized up Luo Feng and said, "I am Lin Yue’er, an outer disciple of Linglong Hall. These two are my junior sisters..."
Just as Lin Yue’er was about to introduce her companions to Luo Feng, the lively round-faced girl interjected, looking at Luo Feng and introducing herself, "I’m Nanxuan, also an outer disciple of Linglong Hall!"
The other red-dressed girl smiled faintly. "Fang Lin."
Luo Feng nodded, hesitated for a mont, then said, "Feng Luo, a disciple of Jade Hall. It’s a pleasure to et you all."
Seeing Luo Feng’s modest deanor, the round-faced girl giggled. "So you’re also a disciple of the Golden Palace from the Six Southern Domains. However, with your cultivation, Senior Brother, you must be an exceptional genius in Jade Hall. It’s strange that I’ve never heard of you..."
Lin Yue’er’s beautiful eyes flickered slightly, but she said nothing more. Looking at Luo Feng, she said, "Thank you very much for your help, Senior Brother. We three sisters will never forget this life-saving grace."
Luo Feng let out a silent sigh of relief. He scanned the surroundings and said, "The sll of blood will attract Demon Beasts. We should leave this place."
Lin Yue’er and her companions, still shaken by what had just happened, imdiately nodded in agreent.
The four of them used their Qinggong, speeding towards the outskirts of the Red Dragon Mountain Range.
After traveling for over ten li, Luo Feng glanced at Lin Yue’er. He saw that her injuries were not light, yet she hadn’t frowned once from beginning to end. He couldn’t help but admire her inwardly. "Let’s find a safe place to rest for a bit," he suggested.
The round-faced girl, keeping pace beside Luo Feng, giggled. "Feng Luo, Senior Sister Yue’er is not only the top genius among our Linglong Hall outer disciples but also the foremost beauty!"
Lin Yue’er’s face flushed. She glared at the round-faced girl. "Junior Sister Nan, if you keep talking nonsense, I’ll leave you here."
The round-faced girl dodged behind Luo Feng and made a face. "I’m just telling the truth! Luo Feng, don’t you agree?"
Luo Feng looked at the two of them and gave a wry smile inwardly. This round-faced girl is truly a mischievous imp.
Just as he was wondering how to respond, Luo Feng’s gaze sharpened. He thrust his palm, shaped like a blade, straight out towards the area behind Lin Yue’er.
PFFT!
A chilling Gang Qi flashed through the air, and a massive tree behind Lin Yue’er was pierced as easily as tofu.
Lin Yue’er and the other two, not knowing what had happened, stopped abruptly. They looked behind the massive tree, and their faces imdiately filled with horror.
Behind the tree lay a spider the size of a large basin, its body covered in purplish-blue markings. It had been split in half, and green blood flowed out, pooling on the ground.
"A Purple Cloud Poison Spider!"
Looking at the spider’s corpse, Lin Yue’er felt a wave of lingering fear.
The Purple Cloud Poison Spider was a mid-tier level-five Demon Beast. Although not as strong as a Wolf Tiger Horned Eagle in terms of raw power, its venom was extrely potent. If bitten, even a fifth-layer Spiritual Rotation Realm Martial Artist could die if they didn’t receive an antidote quickly.
"We’re still within the Red Dragon Mountain Range. Be careful," Luo Feng cautioned before continuing to lead the way.
There was a Purple Cloud Poison Spider hidden here, and I didn’t sense it at all. How did Feng Luo discover it? the red-dressed girl wondered, her eyes wide with surprise.
Lin Yue’er was also deeply shocked. Purple Cloud Poison Spiders were masters of concealnt, preferring to hide in dark places and launch sneak attacks, making them very difficult to detect. She had been only a few steps away from it but hadn’t sensed its aura at all. Yet, this person had managed to spot it.
After this small incident, the four of them continued on their journey.
A short while later, they stopped in a clearing within a dense forest. Lin Yue’er and the others took pills to restore their Yuan Qi.
Luo Feng didn’t sense any Demon Beasts in the vicinity, so he also sat down. He looked at the round-faced girl and asked, "Nanxuan, what brought you to the Red Dragon Mountain Range?"
At his question, a rare blush crept onto Nanxuan’s small face. She nervously fiddled with the hem of her clothes and remained silent.
Beside her, Lin Yue’er smiled faintly. Her beautiful eyes turned to Luo Feng as she said, "You must have heard about the life-and-death duel in the Imperial City between Luo Feng, this year’s Martial Champion, and Yi Tian, the Princely Heir of Qingyun Mansion, right?"
Luo Feng rubbed his nose and nodded. "Yes, I’ve heard of it."
"Luo Feng is now a disciple of our Linglong Hall, and he’s also our only male disciple. We were planning to go to the Imperial City to cheer him on. However, when we reached Red Valley City, a senior sister traveling with us had so business to attend to, so we had to delay our journey for a few days. Nanxuan heard rumors about a Divine Dragon descending in the Red Dragon Mountain Range and, out of curiosity, wanted to co and see."
At this point, a wry smile touched Lin Yue’er’s pretty face. "We never expected the Red Dragon Mountain Range to be so dangerous. We had just entered when we encountered four Wolf Tiger Horned Eagles. If we hadn’t t you..."
"I see."
Luo Feng nodded. He hadn’t expected this matter to be related to him.
Nanxuan hung her head, her lips pressed tightly together. "It’s all my fault. If I hadn’t insisted on coming to the Red Dragon Mountain Range, Senior Sister wouldn’t have been injured..."
Luo Feng looked at Nanxuan and smiled. "If you hadn’t co to the Red Dragon Mountain Range, how would we have t?"
"That’s true."
Lin Yue’er glanced at Luo Feng gratefully.
Nanxuan tilted her small head, frowning in thought for a mont before her face broke into a smile through her tears. "That’s true too! Hehe, Feng Luo, you’re really nice."
Luo Feng smiled and shook his head. This Nanxuan was truly naive and vivacious; her expressions changed faster than one could flip the pages of a book.
"Feng Luo, where are you heading?" Lin Yue’er asked Luo Feng.
"The Imperial City."
Lin Yue’er’s beautiful eyes lit up. "Doesn’t that an we’re going the sa way?"
Nanxuan blinked her eyes, looking at Luo Feng. "Are you also going to watch the life-and-death duel between Luo Feng and Yi Tian?"
"Sothing like that," Luo Feng nodded.
Nanxuan pressed further, "Who do you think will win?"
Luo Feng countered with a question, "What do you think?"
Nanxuan giggled. "Everyone in the martial world says Yi Tian will win. However, our Second Hall Master, Shui Linglong, said that Luo Feng is a peerless genius who cannot be judged by common standards. I believe Luo Feng will win. Since he could break convention to beco the first male disciple of our Linglong Hall, and then rise teorically to beco this year’s Martial Champion, he must be an extraordinary person."
Luo Feng’s expression remained unchanged, but inwardly, he strongly agreed with her words.
Standing up, Luo Feng said to the three of them, "Let’s go. I’ll escort you out of the Red Dragon Mountain Range."
Nanxuan frowned. "You’re also going to the Imperial City. Why not travel with us?"
"I still have so things to take care of."
Luo Feng shook his head. With only ten days remaining, he planned to cultivate while traveling, and having others around would be inconvenient.
Nanxuan nodded resignedly. "Well then, when you get to the Imperial City, you must co find us. We still haven’t properly thanked you for this."
"Alright."
The four of them set off imdiately.
Along the way, Luo Feng released his Soul Power, avoiding Demon Beasts as much as possible, and they encountered no further danger.
After about the ti it takes for an incense stick to burn, Luo Feng felt the Fire Yuan Qi in the surroundings gradually thinning. He looked up and saw the towering mountain peak ahead—the sa one he had seen when first entering the Red Dragon Mountain Range.
"Everyone, the rest of the journey should be safe. Let’s part ways here," Luo Feng said, stopping.
Lin Yue’er clasped her hands. "Then, until we et again."
Luo Feng nodded, preparing to use the Teng Dragon’s Step to depart.
Suddenly, a piercing screech echoed from the distance, and an extrely powerful aura swept over them.
"Soone’s coming!"
Luo Feng looked up towards the distance, a sense of vigilance rising within him. He could feel murderous intent emanating from this powerful aura.
A kiloter away, a figure burst through the trees, shooting towards them.
"HAHAHA... I’ve been waiting for you for a long ti!"
Though the figure was still a kiloter away, he let out a long cry and slashed his sword towards Luo Feng.
SWOOSH!
A thick Sword Qi, over ten ters long and radiating an intense blood-red light, shot towards the four of them with lightning speed. The sharp sound of it tearing through the air was extrely piercing.
Even though the Sword Qi was still hundreds of ters away, the sharp energy it contained made Lin Yue’er and the other two feel their blood boil.
"A fifth-layer Spiritual Rotation Realm Martial Artist!"
Lin Yue’er pressed her red lips together tightly, a hint of panic in her beautiful eyes.
A sword strike launched from a kiloter away still possessed such power; the newcor was undoubtedly a fifth-layer Spiritual Rotation Realm Martial Artist!
Though startled, Luo Feng remained composed. He took a step forward, and the Rage Fla Knife appeared silently in his hand. He slashed downwards.
CRACK!
A clap of thunder bood, and a brilliant blade light flared, extending at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.
BOOM!
The blade light and Sword Qi collided in mid-air, exploding upon impact. The violent shockwave scraped off a layer of the ground nearby, and the Qi Force pushed Lin Yue’er and the other two back several steps.
WHOOSH!
A sinister-looking young man landed on the ground.
"You actually managed to block my sword strike. It seems you have so real skill."
The sinister young man glanced at Luo Feng with slight surprise and chuckled faintly. He had launched that sword strike from a kiloter away, so its power had naturally diminished by five to six tenths. Thus, he wasn’t particularly concerned that Luo Feng had managed to block it.
Is he here for ?
Luo Feng looked at the newcor. A thought flashed through his mind as he recalled Lanyu’s Spirit Mirror. He asked coldly, "Are you Liu Yuan of the Blood Roar Adventure Group, also known as the Blood Yin Sword?"
Liu Yuan raised an eyebrow. "You actually know who I am?"
"Blood Yin Sword Liu Yuan!"
Hearing their exchange, the faces of Lin Yue’er and the other two paled with shock.
As disciples of the Golden Palace, they were naturally knowledgeable and had heard of Liu Yuan’s na. They also knew that this man was not only powerful but also a notorious lecher.
Luo Feng looked at Liu Yuan calmly and said indifferently, "Are you here to avenge Qiu Yue and the others?"
"Avenge?"
Liu Yuan burst out laughing, his narrow eyes gleaming darkly. He chuckled. "Qiu Yue and I were rely using each other. To tell you the truth, the Blood Roar Adventure Group has already been destroyed by . I ca here this ti for only one purpose: the Sky Cloud Step Secret Manual."
So, it was for the Sky Cloud Step.
Luo Feng imdiately understood. It seed the one who had destroyed the Blood Roar Adventure Group’s treasury was none other than Liu Yuan himself.
Noticing Luo Feng’s expression, Liu Yuan’s eyes lit up. "It seems the Sky Cloud Step Secret Manual is indeed on your person!"
Luo Feng did not deny it. "That’s right. The Secret Manual is with ."
Liu Yuan’s face lit up with ecstatic joy. He licked his lips and said, "Kid, you’re sensible! Hand over the Secret Manual, and I’ll spare your life. However..."
He paused, his gaze falling upon Lin Yue’er and the other two. A lewd smile spread across his face as he said, "They have to stay!"
Hearing his words, the expressions of Lin Yue’er and the other two changed drastically.
They knew all too well what a tragic fate awaited them if they fell into Liu Yuan’s hands.
