Chapter 1443: Healing, Sky Wind City
“Daoist Heiyun is dead!”
Luo Feng was meditating, when suddenly he heard Jiang Fengfeng’s exclamation, he opened his eyes just in time to see Daoist Heiyun’s body and head separate, the head flying high into the air, a shock rising in his heart:
“How could this be…?”
Daoist Heiyun’s cultivation was clearly above Chixiao, and the Black Killing Sky Wolf Technique he practiced was exceptional in both attack and defense.
To Luo Feng, seeing Chixiao not defeated by Daoist Heiyun was already fortunate; as for Chixiao defeating Daoist Heiyun, it was not impossible, but the possibility was too slim, almost inconceivable.
Noticing the graceful figure shrouded in a black cloak standing beside Daoist Heiyun’s corpse, Luo Feng’s mind stirred: “Could it be her…”
“Indeed, it was Huandie who killed Daoist Heiyun.”
Jiang Fengfeng’s face still carried deep shock as she explained to Luo Feng: “Just now, Huandie suddenly disappeared from the Jade Boat and appeared in front of Daoist Heiyun. It’s unknown what technique she used, but Daoist Heiyun just stared at her, seemingly seeing something extremely terrifying, utterly motionless, until Chixiao cut off his head.”
“It must be an illusion. It seems that Daoist Heiyun was blinded by some illusion technique, hence he was killed without resistance, much like my Blood Charm Technique,” Xuelian said.
“This woman is so formidable…” Luo Feng exclaimed in surprise.
Upon hearing Luo Feng’s words, Jiang Fengfeng couldn’t help but curve her red lips into a slight smile: “Luo Feng, anyone can say this, but you definitely shouldn’t. You just defeated a True Yuan Realm ninth pinnacle Martial Artist with mid-stage True Yuan Realm strength. That’s what’s truly amazing.”
Yue Haitang saw that Luo Feng’s complexion had improved significantly, and breathed a sigh of relief, nodding in agreement upon hearing the sentiment.
Luo Feng smiled, but didn’t affirm.
Elsewhere.
Chixiao withdrew his aura, glanced at Daoist Heiyun’s corpse, and smiled at Huandie: “Huandie, I didn’t expect your Overcome Evil Radiant Butterfly Dance to be cultivated to such a realm, able to confuse even a master like Daoist Heiyun.”
“Not at all.”
Huandie shook her head, a calm voice emanating from beneath her cloak, “I was able to confuse him, firstly because he didn’t expect me to refine the Black Evil Heavenly Wolf Smoke so quickly, thus lowering his guard. Second, he himself was someone who bullied the weak and feared the strong; I merely amplified his inner fear. Had his martial heart been more resilient, he would not have been controlled by fear, and I wouldn’t have succeeded.”
“Haha, ever so modest.”
Chixiao chuckled, gazing in the direction of the fleeing Black Demon Sect disciple: “Too bad, let one get away.”
“Just a small fry, even if he survives, losing an arm will greatly diminish his strength, not worthy of concern,” Huandie said.
Chixiao frowned: “Previously, Demon Sect disciples would hide their tracks when entering the Realm of Hundreds, but now they’re becoming more brazen. Seems like the peaceful days founded on the pact with Dragon-pattern Mountain are nearing an end. Major events have surged in the past decade, wonder what kind of chaos lies ahead.”
Huandie’s gaze slightly narrowed: “I have a premonition that earth-shattering events will unfold at the centennial legacy of Puppet Sect.”
“I feel the same, that’s why I sought you to go together.”
Chixiao nodded, glanced around, and said: “This place should not be lingered in, let’s leave first.”
“Mm.”
Huandie had just refined the Black Evil Heavenly Wolf Smoke and exerted herself against Daoist Heiyun, now feeling quite weak.
Everyone returned to the Green Jade Spirit Boat, soon its green wings gently flapping, cleaving through the sky.
“Thanks to everyone for helping out this time.”
On the deck, Huandie expressed her gratitude to everyone.
Yue Haitang looked at Huandie with indifference, her face showing little expression, though her voice carried a chill: “The person you should thank the most is Luo Feng; he nearly lost his life for you.”
Huandie glanced at Yue Haitang, her captivating eyes shifting to Luo Feng and said: “I take back my previous words.”
Everyone listened, puzzled, but Luo Feng understood clearly.
When he first met Huandie, intrigued by her Illusion Technique, he kept staring at her body, leading Huandie to view him as a rogue and even send him a warning.
Luo Feng faintly smiled: “I’m truly honored then.”
“This time I owe you a favor.”
Saying this, Huandie approached Luo Feng, “Let me check your injury.”
Luo Feng turned, his back facing Huandie.
Swish!
Huandie’s forefinger placed on Luo Feng’s back, her Qi Force activated, instantly tearing the shirt, revealing the solid muscles beneath.
Seeing Luo Feng’s bare physique, Huandie’s eyes slightly moved, revealing a hint of anomaly; it was her first time being this close to a man’s body.
Luckily, with her veil, no one could see her expression.
Her gaze moved to the sword wound on Luo Feng’s lower left shoulder, and Huandie frowned slightly: The injury was more severe than she imagined, yet also less severe.
Technically speaking, Luo Feng’s injury was very adverse, the blade nearing the heart, coupled with the Black Demon Sect’s techniques often carrying corrosive effects, if the poisonous True Yuan infiltrated the heart, death would be inevitable.
However, oddly enough, the errant True Yuan invading Luo Feng’s body was entirely accumulated near the wound, unable to disperse, appearing as if Luo Feng’s body confined it to that area, immobilizing it.
If it were a Yuan Sea Realm Martial Artist capable of this, Huandie wouldn’t be surprised. However, Luo Feng was only a mid-stage True Yuan Realm Martial Artist, yet able to suppress the True Yuan intrusion of a ninth pinnacle Martial Artist, incredibly bewildering.
Staring at Luo Feng for a while, Huandie snapped out of it, aware of her impropriety, her cheeks slightly flushed, she said: “Don’t move.”
As she spoke, Huandie sat behind Luo Feng, her fingers brushing, and about a dozen Spirit Pills of various colors started hovering beside her.
Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang…
As she formed hand signs, the Spirit Pills exploded consecutively, transforming into misty talismans hovering in mid-air.
Then Huandie clapped her hands together, the misty talismans gathering in her palm, rapidly spinning, shrinking visibly.
“The medicinal power is being extracted, growing increasingly pure… What is happening?” Jiang Fengfeng said incredulously.
Chixiao smiled, shaking his head: “Apart from the Puppet Sect and your Sword Tomb, the Illusion Sect is the most mysterious force in our Realm of Hundreds; their techniques can be described as divine. I don’t know what this is either.”
“Utterly useless.”
Jiang Fengfeng scoffed, causing Chixiao’s expression to freeze momentarily.
As they chatted, the medicinal power formed into beads, half of its original size remaining.
Boom!
Huandie’s palm emanating green light, her right palm suddenly pressing against Luo Feng’s back at the wound, a slight tremor.
Spurt!
Luo Feng groaned as copious dark blood spurted from the wound, sizzling black vapors on the deck.
In that instant, Luo Feng felt his body lighten significantly.
“It’s done.”
Huandie slightly panted, clearly having exerted much effort in treating Luo Feng, she spoke: “I’ve expelled the demonic True Yuan from your body and left medicinal power at the wound. Each day during your cultivation, use True Yuan to wash over the medicinal power. Once fully absorbed in two to three days, you will fully recover.”
Luo Feng sensed it briefly, immediately noticing a cool presence at the left shoulder wound.
This presence, thick yet unmoving, slowly permeated the flesh, warming the whole body; presumably, this was the medicinal power Huandie spoke of.
“Thank you.”
Luo Feng donned an outfit, expressing his gratitude.
Huandie said nothing more, sitting nearby, starting to meditate.
“Luo Feng, you actually killed a ninth pinnacle True Yuan Realm Martial Artist this time; you surprised even me,” Chixiao, seeing Luo Feng largely recovered, laughed.
Luo Feng faintly smiled, “I merely took advantage of the situation.”
“This is not something mere advantage can achieve.”
Chixiao shook his head, suddenly looking ahead: “Looks like we’re about to part ways; ahead is Sky Wind City.”
