Li Feng raced in one direction with Ji Feixue, while the Black Crow indeed tailed them, clearly focusing solely on Ji Feixue.
Ji Feixue bit her teeth, saying from behind Li Feng, "You did this on purpose. You sent them away, and they are safe, but have you thought about how we would face the pursuers?"
"Shut up. If you keep babbling, I'll hand you over to the people of the Demon Path."
"You dare."
Ji Feixue said through gritted teeth.
"Hmph, don't think that just because you're the Ji family's eldest daughter, I have to risk my life to protect you. You think too much. Between you and life, I'd abandon you without hesitation."
"You..."
Though Li Feng's words were realistic, they greatly frustrated Ji Feixue. She reached out and pinched Li Feng's waist hard.
Li Feng inhaled sharply.
Ji Feixue snorted and said, "Don't worry, there's no way to abandon . Even if the pursuers capture , you won't survive. Do you really think the people of the Demon Path will make a deal with you? They won't leave any survivors."
"Can't you see the attitude of those people just now?"
Li Feng was aware, so he was just trying to scare Ji Feixue. Now, holding onto such a hot potato, escaping is the priority.
"How much do you know about the background of those intercepting you from the Demon Path?"
Upon hearing Li Feng ask about the Demon Path, Ji Feixue rolled her eyes, "How would I know? The Demon Path has been silent for many years, and what I understand about it cos from so records in books."
"According to records, the Demon Path is a general term for humans enticed by the Ten Fierce Beasts to act as their pawns. These people worship different Fierce Beasts and have established the Ten Demon Hall."
"The Ten Demon Hall is located in the forbidden lands of the Ten Fierce Beasts, and even my Ancestor Dragon City knows little about them."
"As for why they suddenly want to capture , perhaps it's because of my mission. My Ji family has a special relationship with Xuanwu, one of the Four Holy Beasts of the Northern Territory, and every generation we send a direct descendant to Xuanwu Land."
"I will train in Xuanwu Land and will also solidify our Ji family's friendly relations with the Xuanwu Holy Beast clan."
Li Feng responded with an "Oh": "Capturing you, could it be to sabotage your relationship with the Xuanwu Holy Beast?"
"If capturing you arouses Xuanwu's displeasure, then your friendship is too fragile."
"If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense."
"I'm going not only for training but also for engagent." Ji Feixue said with a blush.
"Are you going to marry a turtle?"
Li Feng said.
Ji Feixue rolled her eyes, "That's not a turtle. It's the Xuanwu Clan. If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense."
Xuanwu is indeed a turtle, an old one a million years old. Didn't expect the Ji family to have intermarried with the Xuanwu Clan for generations. Just wonder if the offspring are turtles.
"None of this matters to you. As long as you escort back to Ancestor Dragon City, it's a major accomplishnt for you. You can ask for anything."
"But we have to get back first."
As they spoke, the pursuers from the Ten Demon Hall had caught up. Although the heavenly horse was fast, it's night, and the Ghost Wolves they rode don't have that limitation.
From afar, you could see the Ghost Wolves with lantern-like eyes glowing with ghost fire.
Li Feng knew running was futile, so he pulled the horse reins, and the heavenly horse's front hooves reared up.
As the heavenly horse landed, the semicircle of pursuers from the Ten Demon Hall swiftly closed in.
Li Feng dismounted, tapped his toes, and charged at an oncoming pursuer. The pursuer was surprised but didn't stop his steed, instead making the Ghost Wolf speed up.
As they were about to collide, the Fish Intestine Sword suddenly surged. Sword Qi pierced the mouth of the roaring Ghost Wolf, through its throat, and out its skull, and the rider didn't even react before the Fish Intestine Sword pierced his chest.
Instantly killed.
Having succeeded in one move, the Fish Intestine Sword vanished into the darkness again.
Li Feng twisted and lunged at another rider.
Earlier, Li Feng's hunt, helped by the darkness and the scattered fan shape of the cavalry, went unnoticed by the others.
Li Feng repeated the move.
Caught off guard, the opponent was hit again. In dark environnts, especially for sneak attacks, the Fish Intestine Sword, being the Assassin's Sword, excelled.
In an instant.
Li Feng took down three riders.
But this drew the attention of other pursuers.
The next mont.
Several riders surrounded Li Feng.
Li Feng remained unflustered, tapping his toes to retreat toward Ji Feixue, while the pursuers closed in.
"Hand over Ji Feixue."
The leader of the pursuers coldly eyed Li Feng.
"Alright."
Li Feng grabbed Ji Feixue's wrist and pushed her towards them.
"You."
Ji Feixue didn't expect to be betrayed like this, feeling both humiliated and angry.
The Ten Demon Hall pursuers didn't expect him to actually hand her over, and so swiftly.
But as Ji Feixue was pushed over, they had to take her.
Yet before the leader of the pursuers could touch Ji Feixue, the Fish Intestine Sword hidden behind her shot out.
At such close range, even though the pursuer leader was wary, he couldn't react in ti as the Fish Intestine Sword broke through.
Instantly the Fish Intestine Sword shattered his protective True Qi, and plunged into his chest.
Li Feng sneered, exuding domineering aura, tapping his foot and assaulting other pursuers. These pursuers weren't novices and beca outraged, swinging weapons in retaliation.
But Li Feng's moves were unrivaled, and the Purple Fla, like a snake, found every gap. Anyone who clashed with him was asking for trouble.
"Annihilation."
With Li Feng's snap of fingers, those hit by the Purple Fla had their Dantian devoured, True Qi acting like an accelerant, letting the Purple Fla swiftly traverse their ridians and spread through their limbs.
Instantly.
Those hit simultaneously spewed Purple Fla from all orifices, engulfed in flas, turning to ash.
Ji Feixue blinked—is it over?
This guy is so powerful. These n had Foundation Establishnt strength but were easily eliminated.
Could he be a Golden Core Stage?
"What's going on with that Purple Fla of yours? I've never seen such War Qi before. Also, are you at Golden Core?"
Li Feng eyed Ji Feixue, "Didn't anyone tell you not to pry into others' privacy?"
Ji Feixue pouted, "There's nothing to hide. Also, what did you an by pushing out just now?"
Li Feng ignored Ji Feixue's rebuke, looking up at the night sky as a figure approached from above, then descended.
Despite the burly physique, the landing was light, and he perched on grass tips.
"A Golden Core master."
Ji Feixue swallowed nervously. Air traversal is a Golden Core trait, and they had arrived so quickly—had their Tribute been killed?
