"Everyone, I don't know her. Your grievances don't need to involve me, right?" Lin Feng said coldly.
"Not know her but end up together? You both seemed to have taken a mandarin duck bath just now, right?" Sun Kui looked at Lin Feng with envy, wishing he could be the one bathing with Murong Xue instead.
He coldly ordered, "Capture Murong Xue alive. As for this boy, kill him directly."
Lin Feng's face darkened. He hadn't expected these people to be so ruthless and merciless, taking lives at the drop of a hat.
Murong Xue said, "These people are from the Soul Devouring Hall. There's no reasoning with them. How about you and I join forces to take them down?"
The Soul Devouring Hall was an incredibly terrifying force, allegedly specializing in devouring others' souls.
This Soul Devouring Hall had once wreaked havoc in the East County Divine Land and was attacked by many great forces. Back then, the Ten Great Ancient Cities led the attack against the Soul Devouring Hall, shocking the entire Heavenly Martial Continent. However, the Soul Devouring Hall survived.
Now, encountering someone from the Ten Great Ancient Cities, and such a beautiful woman at that, it was natural for them to have wicked intentions.
Lin Feng naturally nodded. Now, joining forces with Murong Xue was their only chance of survival. Otherwise, they would be defeated one by one. In that case, he would be killed, and Murong Xue would be captured and humiliated by the people from the Soul Devouring Hall.
Sun Kui targeted Murong Xue. Sun Kui had the cultivation of the Martial Master Realm, strong with great confidence in himself. With a long howl, he launched a punch at Murong Xue; this punch was called the "Divine Splitting Fist Technique."
The power was fierce and violent, containing a devastating force that instantly charged forward.
Murong Xue's pretty face was filled with coldness. Recently, Lin Feng had spied on her and even had such intimate contact. Murong Xue had never been taken advantage of by a man like this before, and she had been holding back anger. Now, she struck with no reservations, as if wanting to vent all her anger toward Lin Feng onto Sun Kui.
Murong Xue primarily cultivated ice attribute techniques, and the secret techniques she practiced leaned toward the cold ice attribute as well. Facing Sun Kui's strike, Murong Xue performed a move called Frost Ice Fist, her palm enveloped in ice; a cold aura surged forth, chilling the surrounding air.
Murong Xue's strike collided with Sun Kui's, forcing Sun Kui to retreat repeatedly. His hand instantly seemed to freeze, and the ice cold Qi attempted to encase his entire body. Murong Xue was so powerful that Lin Feng was extraordinarily shocked to see this.
"Boy, you'd better worry about yourself. You actually have the mind to get distracted."
Four Soul Devouring Hall cultivators sneered repeatedly, rushing toward Lin Feng, wielding great swords or long knives, slashing at him.
"No one knows who will die."
Lin Feng's expression was indifferent.
He held his sword in his right hand, aiming it forward.
"Sun Rising."
A deep shout resounded.
Behind Lin Feng, a blazing sun rose steadily into the sky, its light blinding.
"Ah, my eyes..." Four Soul Devouring Hall cultivators screamed miserably. Their eyes suddenly stung as if the sun's light nearly blinded them, forcing them to close their eyes.
At just this moment,
Lin Feng sprang into action.
Swish...
The sword's light flickered, chilling and intimidating.
Puchi, puchi, puchi, puchi!
Four continuous tearing sounds rang out. The four Soul Devouring Hall experts felt a sharp pain in their necks, and the next moment, blood spurted from their throats.
"How could this be?"
The four Soul Devouring Hall experts exclaimed in disbelief, then fell backward and died.
...
Sun Kui's face was extremely gloomy. He quickly circulated True Qi to dissolve the ice cold Qi that had entered his body. Then Sun Kui waved his hand, shouting in a deep voice, "All together! We must take down Murong Xue."
Following Sun Kui's order, the others charged at Murong Xue like wolves and tigers.
Including Sun Kui, eleven cultivators besieged Murong Xue together, plunging her into a hard battle and making her appear quite embarrassed under attack from all sides.
"I'll help you."
At this moment, a loud voice rang out. Lin Feng joined the fray, swinging his sword. Two Soul Devouring Hall experts were cut down before they even realized it, as their attention had been focused on Murong Xue. They hadn't considered Lin Feng defeating four Soul Devouring Hall cultivators and coming to Murong Xue's aid.
The Soul Devouring Hall cultivators wore expressions as though they had seen a ghost. How could Lin Feng, considered an ant, kill four of their experts?
This puzzled them greatly.
Murong Xue's eyes suddenly lit up. Taking advantage of the Soul Devouring Hall experts' stunned state, she waved her right hand, sending three icy frosty beams flying out. They moved as fast as lightning, instantly piercing through three cultivators' bodies.
"Not good; it's the Ice Divine Needle, a spiritual artifact. We need to escape."
Upon seeing the artifact Murong Xue had unleashed, Sun Kui's face turned ugly. Without hesitation, he fled frantically into the distance.
The remaining few turned pale with fright and also escaped into the mountains and disappeared.
Meanwhile, the three icy beams flew back into Murong Xue's hand.
Seeing those three icy beams, Lin Feng remained secretly on guard. What kind of treasure was that? It could kill at such a distance. If Murong Xue targeted him with one of those, wouldn't his life be in jeopardy?
