The sun set in the west, and even the last ray of sunset was thoroughly swallowed up. A faint crescent moon rose in the vast sky.
The moonlight poured down, rendering the entire desert like a sea of smoke. Occasionally, a beast’s roar would echo, adding a sense of eerie mystery to the scene.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Sounds of ripping through the air arose as two figures tore through the night, speeding forward like the wind.
Slash!
As they passed by a sand dune, Luo Feng’s brows furrowed sharply. Emperor Yan’s Sky-breaking Saber instantly unsheathed, transforming into a fiery whirlwind that surged forward.
The next moment, the sand dune was split in two, revealing a cocoon-shaped Demon Beast hidden inside, its body severed in half. Milky white blood shot up into the sky, reaching a height of twenty to thirty meters.
Snap!
Retracting Emperor Yan’s Sky-breaking Saber, Luo Feng looked ahead into the vast night, his brows deeply furrowed.
He and Yue Haitang had traveled over a hundred miles through the desert but had not seen a soul.
Earlier, he had vaguely heard a roar filled with rage and killing intent. It was likely that the Corpse Ghost Taoist had broken free and would catch up soon.
If they couldn’t quickly find the two experts Shui Qingcheng mentioned, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Yue Haitang saw Luo Feng’s somber expression, lightly pursed her lips without speaking, and looked ahead. Suddenly, her gaze halted.
"Luo Feng, ahead... it looks like there’s a fire."
Hmm?
Luo Feng followed Yue Haitang’s gaze and saw a spark flickering in the vast night. Although it was small, it was extremely conspicuous against the darkness.
"Let’s go there!"
Seeing the firelight, Luo Feng’s face lit up with joy, and he approached without hesitation.
As they got closer, Luo Feng saw a campfire burning in a patch of sand, with two figures sitting beside it.
Both were women, wearing plain dresses with silver swords at their waists. Their figures were graceful and delicate. Even with just a side view, they exuded an impression of stunning beauty, especially the occasional glint in their eyes, like shining stars in the sky, with amazing penetration.
It should be them!
Seeing the two, Luo Feng’s pupils slightly contracted.
The two were young; one girl appeared to be about his age, but the aura she faintly exuded was exceptionally powerful, undoubtedly a Martial Artist in the True Yuan Realm.
The other woman’s Yuan Qi fluctuations, under soul power perception, were like turbulent rivers, surging and overwhelming. Her cultivation was unfathomably deep; Luo Feng estimated her strength might even surpass the Corpse Ghost Taoist!
The two women had clearly already noticed Luo Feng and Yue Haitang. When the two approached, the slightly older woman turned her gaze, eyes clear as she examined them, asking, "Are you disciples of Linglong Hall?"
Yue Haitang shook her head, stepped forward, and said, "I am Yue Haitang, a disciple of Jade Hall of the Canglang Dynasty."
Luo Feng clasped his fists and said, "Luo Feng, a disciple of Linglong Hall."
At this moment, a crisp voice rang out. The girl beside them saw Luo Feng and Yue Haitang covered in blood stains. Her delicate brows furrowed slightly as she covered her mouth and nose with a fair hand, mocking, "I heard you were being hunted by Blood Demon Sect disciples. Just a few Demon Sect disciples, and you ended up in such a sorry state. You disciples of the Twelve Golden Palaces of the Canglang Dynasty are really useless..."
Luo Feng’s brows furrowed.
"Fengfeng, enough."
The plain woman slightly furrowed her brows, lightly reprimanding her.
The girl pouted her red lips and said, "I’m just stating the facts. If I encountered those Demon Sect disciples, I would kill them all with one sword stroke."
The plain woman shook her head helplessly, her gaze falling on Luo Feng as she said, "My name is Su Zhuyun, and this is my junior sister..."
"My name is Jiang Fengfeng, remember this name well."
The spirited girl raised her chin slightly, looking at Luo Feng and Yue Haitang with a smug expression.
Luo Feng ignored her gaze and said, "I’ve met the two of you."
Su Zhuyun spoke emotionlessly, "I promised your Hall Master Shui Qingcheng to escort you safely out of the Red Flame Desert. You can rest here and recover; actually, there’s no need to worry about him..."
Su Zhuyun was still speaking.
Rumble...
From the horizon, a series of intense sonic booms rolled in, pressing down. In the night sky, the Bone and Blood Demon Pigeon, its entire body ablaze with crimson flame, shot towards them, and in the blink of an eye, was above the four.
"Luo Feng!"
The whirlwind raged as the Corpse Ghost Taoist stood on the back of the Bone and Blood Demon Pigeon, his blood-red eyes coldly watching Luo Feng. He smiled cruelly, "Let’s see where you can run!"
Jiang Fengfeng didn’t get up, glancing at the Corpse Ghost Taoist and the others in the sky, dismissively saying to Luo Feng, "I thought the people chasing you were important figures. Turns out they’re just small fry from the Blood Demon Sect."
"Impudent!"
"Little girl, who do you think you are, daring to speak to us like that?"
Two Blood Demon Generals, while not as powerful as the Corpse Ghost Taoist, were no ordinary people. One was in the third level of the True Yuan Realm, and the other in the fourth. Together, they could kill a fourth-level True Yuan Realm warrior. Seeing Jiang Fengfeng was just a fourth-level True Yuan cultivation yet completely dismissing them, their anger surged instantly.
"Little girl?"
Jiang Fengfeng raised her eyebrows, a cold smile playing at her lips as she stood up. "Just for saying that, you must die today."
"Courting death!"
The two Blood Demon Generals could no longer restrain their anger, Yuan Qi boiling, ready to attack.
"Wait!"
The Corpse Ghost Taoist’s gaze fell on the silver sword at Jiang Fengfeng’s waist, seemingly recalling something. He raised a hand to stop the two and said, "Ladies, your Sword Tomb has always stayed out of rtiad matters. I’m here only for Luo Feng. I hope you will not interfere in this matter."
Sword Tomb...
Luo Feng’s brows rose.
The place Yue Haitang wanted him to go was Sword Tomb! These two women, so young yet with unfathomable cultivation, would undoubtedly surpass the top ten New Dragons if in the Twelve Golden Palaces. It seemed the Corpse Ghost Taoist also feared Sword Tomb greatly. What sort of place was this Sword Tomb?
Beside him, Yue Haitang’s expression also slightly trembled, quickly returning to normal.
Su Zhuyun stirred the campfire with a stick expressionlessly before speaking:
"Corpse Ghost Taoist, I have promised Shui Qingcheng to protect Luo Feng’s life. We disciples of Sword Tomb never break our promise. All of you, please leave."
"You truly refuse to let him go?"
The Corpse Ghost Taoist’s eyes flickered with a bloody light, his voice sinister. Having paid such a heavy price, with Luo Feng in sight, how could he be content if he couldn’t kill him?
"Senior sister, why bother wasting words with these people! Since they refuse to see reason, just kill them!"
Jiang Fengfeng had long harbored murderous intent. Now stepping forward, her silver sword at her waist rang as it unsheathed.
Whoosh!
A flash of sword light, a sense of sharpness soaring into the sky as a Glaze Sword Qi enveloped the Corpse Ghost Taoist and the two Blood Demon Sect disciples.
"This is... Immeasurable Instant-Kill Sword!"
Luo Feng’s gaze flashed, recognizing the swordsmanship Jiang Fengfeng exhibited was the same that Yue Haitang had previously displayed, with the sole difference being its potency.
