Chapter 113 - Scheming
Chapter 113 - Scheming
“The Heart Eater Magic can affect one’s mental state. Feng Wutian subconsciously thinks he’s another Heart Eater. When he saw one of his fellow Heart Eaters dying, he became angry,” Ling Xi explained after seeing Feng Wutian glaring at everyone else.
“No wonder that young lady quickly stepped away from the Heart Eater when she saw Feng Wutian glaring at her. Even though Chu Yunyao is beautiful, she has a scheming mind.”
Long Chen didn\'t really like girls like her. He preferred someone like Yang Lingqing, resolute and simple, or someone like Lingxi, cute and innocent.
At the same time, Feng Wutian circled the Heart Eater and snarled from time to time. Everyone else stopped moving. Who would dare to move after seeing even Chu Yunyao stop moving?
“What if we fight as one and suppress Feng Wutian?” someone suggested.
“We can’t do that. We might accidentally kill him. Feng Wutian is the jewel of the Turquoise Sun Hall. If we accidentally kill him, we are dead meat.”
Even those at the late Human Core Realm could do nothing.
Chu Yunyao was silently observing Feng Wutian while remaining stationary even though she was supposed to lead them. You guys can fight Feng Wutian if you want, but I won’t fight him now. Once the Heart Eating Magic wears off, Feng Wutian will be unconscious and the Supreme Purity Sword will be mine.
Chu Yunyao slowly backed away with the others from the Turquoise Imperial Hall after she confirmed her plans. However, they continued to monitor the Heart Eater and did not leave the area.
Feng Wutian’s eyes were filled with killing intent, and he turned around to glare at the others.
“Retreat!”
The other team leaders commanded their teams to slowly back away after seeing how even Chu Yunyao had backed off.
The only team that did not back off was the Turquoise Sun Hall. Their leader was out of action and Liu Ling did not want to go. She kept crying, unwilling to leave Feng Wutian behind, while the others were already panicking.
“Miss Ling’er, we need to retreat now! Senior Wutian will recover right after the Heart Eater Magic wears off!”
But no matter what they said, she refused to leave. Her eyes were covered with tears. On the one hand, her heart ached for the one she loved, but on the other hand, she had never thought someone as strong as him would be left in such a pitiful state today.
Why is this happening? It’s all that woman’s fault!
Everyone except the Turquoise Sun Hall had retreated, making them exceptionally conspicuous to Feng Wutian. He trained his eyes with black smoke at them!
“Roar!”
In an instant, he ran towards them with explosive speed. He was aiming for his own team.
Looking at the killing intent behind his eyes, the others were so shocked that they couldn’t move. Only a single person at the late Human Core Realm stepped forward to intercept him.
“You guys! Quickly, drag Liu Ling away!”
Liu Ling was the Turquoise Sun Hall’s Sect Elder’s daughter. They had no choice but to protect her.
After shouting his command, the late Human Core Realm cultivator ran towards Feng Wutian!
“Feng Wutian, wake up!”
He swung his fist at Feng Wutian. The strength behind his punch was enough to cause a massive draft of air to burst forward!
Feng Wutian roared upon seeing that the man actually wanted to hit him. The red, shimmering wings appeared behind his back once more. He flapped them vigorously and increased his speed even more.
A firebird appeared in Feng Wutian’s hands, and a massive aura exploded forth.
It was the Spiritual Feather Congregation, one of the techniques he had used against the Heart Eater before this. The countless fiery feathers shot towards the man in front of Feng Wutian like arrows!
The difference in strength between them was clear. Everyone from the Turquoise Sun Hall despaired when they saw the man burn to death from Feng Wutian’s attack.
“Senior Liu!”
The disciples cried out, but there was no time left. After Feng Wutian killed Senior Liu, he continued running towards Liu Ling and the rest.
At this point, no one else bothered with Liu Ling. They tried pulling her away, but she wouldn’t budge. Fearing for their lives, they abandoned her and ran away.
It was natural for one to run away from danger, but now Liu Ling was the one closest to Feng Wutian.
“Senior Wutian ...”
Liu Ling’s face was pale as she stared at him blankly. Feng Wutian, however, did not recognize her. There was only bloodlust in his eyes. Everyone except for Liu Ling had run away, so he instantly locked his killing intent onto her.
Liu Ling finally felt fear when she felt the cold killing intent from Feng Wutian.
She then realized no one else was in the clearing. It was only her and Feng Wutian. The man who used to give her a sense of security was now the very devil who would take her life.
She started trembling from Feng Wutian’s bloodlust. He roared and ran towards her!
Liu Ling cried out and could do nothing but block her face with her arms ...
Liu Lan shook her head. She was about to rescue Liu Ling and announce that the Turquoise Sun Hall would forfeit the training exercise when she saw a blood-red shadow run into the clearing and stand in front of Liu Ling. The man blocked Feng Wutian’s attack and even repelled it!
Liu Lan stopped and stared at the blood-red man. The speed he had exhibited was far beyond what a normal late Human Core Realm cultivator should be capable of. When she realized who it was, Liu Lan\'s jaw dropped from shock.
“Long Chen? Why is he here?”
Liu Lan could estimate how strong someone was based on their speed, but to think it was Long Chen!
He’s not dead. Has he been hiding until now? There’s no mistaking it. He’s the type who would hide and only attack at the very last moment. But he shouldn’t be strong enough to defeat Feng Wutian and steal my sister’s heart.
Liu Lan had misunderstood—she thought that Long Chen liked Liu Ling. She thought he had rescued her to earn her love.
While it might be effective to play the hero rescuing the damsel in distress, it was not very practical.
“Administrator Liu, which hall does the Beast Warrior belong to?”
“He belongs to the Turquoise Sun Hall.”
Even though they had seen Long Chen before, none of them had seen his transformation yet. They were just making sure.
“So he’s from the Turquoise Sun Hall? Hoho, did he not see that even a cultivator at the late Human Core Realm had died at Feng Wutian’s hands?”
Everyone else also noticed Long Chen. Some of them didn’t recognize him and were puzzled.
Chu Yunyao was surprised too. The sudden appearance of a Beast Warrior was too bizarre. She asked some of the people around her, and one of them faintly recalled who it was. “I think that the Turquoise Sun Hall had a new Beast Warrior called Long Chen. He had a grudge against Feng Wutian but was chased away at the start of the exercise. To think he would appear here again.”
Long Chen?
Chu Yunyao had never heard the name before, but that was expected. She never really bothered with others, though she looked at Long Chen with curiosity in her eyes. She was waiting to see what he could do.
But the one who was shocked the most by Long Chen’s appearance was Liu Ling.
She stared at him with in disbelief her trembling eyes.
When Long Chen escaped the Turquoise Sun Hall team, he had stirred up a huge fuss and even taught her a lesson. She hated Long Chen to the core, but now he had rescued her from death ...
Liu Ling had always imagined that Feng Wutian would be the one rescuing her from Long Chen. But now they had swapped roles, and she didn’t know how to react.
Long Chen turned around and smiled cheekily. “Little girl, did you enjoy the slap I gave you last time? Do you want me to do it again? Don’t worry, I won’t charge you much ...”
Liu Ling realized she could not get angry at the despicable youth who was staring at her cheekily.
She stared at him blankly, not knowing what to do.
But then she saw Feng Wutian running back towards Long Chen.
“Careful!”
“Relax.”
Long Chen turned around and waited for Feng Wutian to get closer to him ...
Feng Wutian, to think I would get to fight you in this scenario. I can defeat you now that I’m at the mid Human Core Realm. I wonder what kind of face that crazy bitch Liu Lan will make me when she finds out I defeated you ...
