Martial Arts Overlord

Chapter 1158 - 1155: Assassin, Friend

Luo Feng originally thought the visitor would be Leng Feifan, but when he realized it was a woman, he was taken aback.

Swish!

In the instant he was lost in thought, the figure spun in mid-air, her long legs whipping up a gust of strong wind, sweeping toward Luo Feng’s right leg, trying to use the momentum to escape his restraint.

"Don’t waste your efforts. You’re not leaving here tonight."

Luo Feng was already prepared, he sneered, and unleashed his Yuan Qi.

Boom!

A savage Qi Force erupted from Luo Feng’s body, directly shattering the woman’s leg wind into pieces. At the same time, the Yuan Qi on his body boiled, rising into a brilliant crimson Yuan Qi flame, illuminating the room brightly.

"Ah!"

The sudden brightness clearly startled the woman, a scream echoed in the room.

"It’s you!"

Luo Feng finally saw the woman’s appearance clearly, his face sank as he said, "Qin Xuan, what are you doing?"

The girl was none other than Qin Xuan from Blood Flower Tower.

"I..."

Qin Xuan’s lips had a trace of crimson, she didn’t dare to meet Luo Feng’s gaze.

Luo Feng’s eyes narrowed, his grip strengthened slightly, and he said coldly, "Qin Xuan, I thought we were friends. It seems I’ve misjudged you. If you don’t give an explanation today, you’re not leaving here. Tell me, who sent you to assassinate me?"

Qin Xuan was an elite assassin from Blood Flower Tower, sneaking in here late at night, coupled with the killing intent on Leng Feifan during the day, made Luo Feng think deeply.

"Cough... No... it’s not..."

Qin Xuan’s face gradually turned pale, she shook her head, "Luo Feng... I have no ill intentions..."

"Then why are you here, in the dead of night? Surely you’re not here for a chat." Luo Feng said coldly.

"I..."

Qin Xuan glanced at the side table, pursed her red lips.

Hmm?

Luo Feng noticed a piece of silk on the table, he waved his hand, a gust of wind surged, and the silk was pulled over.

Upon opening the silk, Luo Feng’s gaze revealed surprise, he released Qin Xuan, and asked curiously:

"Qin Xuan, is this why you’re here?"

The silk only had a few words: Luo Feng, beware Leng Feifan.

Qin Xuan took a look at the silk, her face showing difficulty.

Though she had only met Luo Feng a few times, they had pleasant conversations each time. She had previously strongly recommended Luo Feng to the Blood Flower Tower master. During this meeting, Luo Feng’s cultivation had advanced, yet he showed no disdain, rather he was straightforward. She had a good impression of Luo Feng and didn’t want to see him die miserably.

However, Leng Feifan was also a fellow Blood Flower Tower disciple...

One side was a friend, the other a comrade disciple. Since Qin Xuan learned that the Crown Prince wanted to assassinate Luo Feng, she was always in a dilemma, not knowing which side to support.

Until tonight, she made a decision to sneak in, aim to leave a message warning Luo Feng of Leng Feifan, then leave. Unexpectedly, she was detected by Luo Feng.

Gently exhaling, Qin Xuan nodded, "Right, someone wants to take your life. Leng Feifan has accepted the task, he’ll likely act during the New Dragon Ranking Tournament."

Luo Feng’s eyes flickered, instantly understanding the situation, he put the silk away, "Sorry, I misunderstood you earlier."

"It’s not your fault. I would have doubted too."

Qin Xuan shook her head, showing a bitter smile. Even now, she’s unsure if what she did was right or wrong.

Glancing up at Luo Feng, Qin Xuan’s face suddenly changed, her ears flushed with pink, averting her eyes, "Luo Feng... you... you should put on your clothes first."

In the hurried moment earlier, Luo Feng had merely tied a piece of clothing on, now he stood with his upper body bare.

"Apologies."

Awkwardly chuckling, Luo Feng retrieved a clean garment from the Washing Dragon Ring and put it on.

Qin Xuan quickly returned to normal and said, "Luo Feng, Leng Feifan is our Seven Blood Flowers’ leader, his strength is unfathomable. Though I’ve never seen him fight, since entering the Blood Flower Tower, he has remained undefeated. To date, he’s already killed three Martial Artists in the True Yuan Realm, be careful yourself."

"No need to worry, he’s not my match."

Luo Feng shook his head, waved his hand, and opened the door.

The moon emerged from the clouds, its light stretching his silhouette long.

Qin Xuan stared blankly at Luo Feng’s back. She always thought Luo Feng wouldn’t be able to match Leng Feifan, which is why she came to warn him. But at this moment, another thought emerged in her mind.

From hearing of Leng Feifan’s assassination plan to now, Luo Feng hadn’t shown a trace of fear.

Could it be that he was truly confident he could defeat Leng Feifan?

Thinking of this, Qin Xuan furrowed her brows, hesitantly said, "Luo Feng, I hope you can promise me one thing..."

Luo Feng looked at Qin Xuan, "You want me to spare Leng Feifan?"

Qin Xuan nodded.

"Qin Xuan, you should understand that since Leng Feifan accepted the task to assassinate me, we are in a kill-or-be-killed relationship. If Leng Feifan truly makes a move, I won’t hold back."

Qin Xuan tightly pursed her red lips, finally nodded, "It’s unreasonable of me to ask this."

Luo Feng waved his hand, "However, considering your request, I can give him a chance. If he chooses to abandon the task, I’ll spare him once. But if he’s stubborn, then he can’t blame me."

Hearing this, Qin Xuan felt much relieved. Gratefully, she glanced at Luo Feng, "That’s enough. At that time, life and death will be left to fate."

"Hmm. Qin Xuan..."

"What is it?"

Luo Feng looked at Qin Xuan, shook his head, extracted a pill and tossed it to her, "This is the Yuan Clearing Pill, take it to avoid letting others discover your injury."

Originally, he intended to ask who wanted him dead, but Qin Xuan being a disciple of Blood Flower Tower, revealing the assassination information was already commendable. Further questioning would undoubtedly put her in a difficult position.

"Okay. It’s almost dawn, I should go back now."

Taking the pill, Qin Xuan immediately bade farewell, worried that if she stayed too long, others might notice.

Swish!

With those words, Qin Xuan’s figure flickered in the night, darting over the courtyard wall, turning into a shadow, merging with the night, disappearing without a trace in an instant.

Watching Qin Xuan leave, Luo Feng looked up at the sky, his eyes reflecting a cold moon, and his lips slowly curled into a cold smile.

Without further inquiry from Qin Xuan, he could guess who might have hired the Blood Flower Tower for the assassination.

To invite Leng Feifan, such an exceptional assassin, would surely come at a great cost. Ordinary Martial Artists wouldn’t have the wealth for it. A master like Lu Xiao Yun wouldn’t stoop to such methods, so apart from the Crown Prince, he couldn’t think of anyone else.

"Crown Prince... this threat, if left alone, remains a constant trouble. It seems after the New Dragon Ranking Tournament, a trip to Azure Sky City is necessary."

Killing intent flashed briefly in his eyes, Luo Feng took a deep breath, entered the courtyard, sat cross-legged, and began cultivating Divine Dragon Nine Changes.
