'He Feng is such a sinister person! But why was he so certain that I would be of help to him? More accurately speaking, I've only met him once, and it was in the winery that night.
'And how did he know that I was in the rainforest? Once he ran here, he predicted Xuan Lun's personality. He would definitely lure me out.
'He must have also predicted that I wouldn't participate in this. I would either choose to not do anything or leave. That's why he said those words when he noticed that I wanted to stay away from this matter!
'It's not impossible to say that these are just coincidences, but these coincidences are a little too real!
'He wants to use me to divert Xuan Lun's attention. He's certain that I can fight against him, and he knows that I only have two choices. One is to kill the ghost face formed from the black fog, and then, to protect myself and avoid future troubles, I will attack and fight against Xuan Lun together with him.' Even if I help Xuan Lun to show my will, He Feng will definitely have other tricks up his sleeve, and he will achieve his ruthless goal.
'The second choice was to fight against the face of the ghost and leave in a hurry once again. If I did that, then it would prove his previous words true. It would cause me great trouble and distract Xuan Lun once again. He Feng might even have a way to change Xuan Lun's mind and make him come after me.
'Besides, He Feng's sudden appearance in the rainforest caught me off guard. When Xuan Lun attacked, I released the mighty pressure of the Wings of the Moon to intimidate him. Even though I managed to avoid that finger, I pushed myself into He Feng's sinister attack. Because of that, even if I pretended to be dead, Xuan Lun would not believe me.'
'This is a dead end! He Feng, I have no grudge against you, but you harmed me to protect yourself! No wonder the elder told me so many times that humans are evil! ' This was the first time Su Ming understood this deeply. He originally thought that as long as he did not show any hostility, he could avoid certain things and be safe. Yet now, He Feng had used his actions to tell Su Ming that sometimes, even if he did not show any hostility, even if they were strangers, he could still die due to other reasons.
Compared to He Feng, Su Ming was still too inexperienced. He may be a little scheming, but he had only experienced the devastation of his tribe and Shan Hen's betrayal. He had never experienced the evil of humans.
In truth, before this incident, Su Ming had pitied He Feng.
'All of this is because I'm too weak. If I became a powerful martial artist, then He Feng would not have dared to use me in such a sinister manner!' These thoughts flashed in Su Ming's mind at the instant the face of the malicious spirit in the black fog closed in on him. During this critical moment, Su Ming was forced to use all his thoughts. This had nothing to do with his level of cultivation. If he wanted to solve this situation, he needed his reflexes.
"If we fight, we won't be able to win. We'll be used. 'If I run, I won't be able to run. I'll be chased down … If I lose, unless I really die, no one will believe me … He Feng, since you've sealed off these three paths, then let me, Su Ming, open the fourth path!' Su Ming's eyes sparkled. Almost at the instant the face of the ghost in the black fog closed in on him, he lifted his right hand, and the bone blade appeared in his hand.
He did not retreat. Instead, he took a step forward. The moment his foot landed, the moon in the sky grew brighter. Moonlight filled Su Ming's entire body and turned into flames, causing Su Ming to feel as if his entire body was burning as he moved forward, turning into a sea of fire.
The blade charged towards the face of the malicious spirit in the black fog. The moment the blade landed, the souls of the Wings of the Moon appeared around Su Ming's body and enveloped him, causing him to step into the air. No one could see that there were souls of the Wings of the Moon under Su Ming's feet. There were also a large amount of souls of the Wings of the Moon around him.
His blade crashed into the face of the malicious spirit in the black fog. With a bang, Su Ming coughed out blood and staggered backwards. The bone blade in his hand shattered and turned into a large amount of shards that scattered everywhere. The souls of the Wings of the Moon around him trembled, but they did not disappear. Instead, they gathered around Su Ming once again.
When Su Ming coughed out blood and retreated, the face of the malicious spirit in the fog let out a piercing screech. As if it was torn apart by a violent gust of wind, it turned into wisps of fog and dissipated.
"Brother He Feng, leave quickly. I was ashamed before, but now that I've been enlightened, I'll hold Xuan Lun back for you even if I have to risk my life!" As Su Ming spoke, he charged forward. The Wings of the Moon surrounded him as he charged towards the battle in the deeper parts of the rainforest.
When He Feng, who was fighting against Xuan Lun, heard Su Ming's words, he frowned, but he did not have time to think. Xuan Lun laughed coldly and cast some unknown method, causing half of the black fog around him to split up and charge towards Su Ming.
That half of the fog let out a piercing howl and turned into countless strands of fog that looked like the hair of a dead person in midair. They surrounded Su Ming as if they were trying to strangle him.
The strands of fog were like dense raindrops, and since the sky was dark, it was difficult for anyone to see them clearly. They could only see the countless strands of fog entangling with each other and enveloping the sky and earth. With a swift contraction, they enveloped Su Ming within. Its appearance was somewhat similar to Bi Tu's Verdant Berserker Chains.
Booming sounds instantly reverberated in the air. The large amount of strands of fog shrank abruptly and completely enveloped Su Ming's body. As they continued gathering together, they turned into something that looked like a ball of hair.
That ball of hair was several dozens of feet in size. There were countless strands of threads surrounding it and sealing it tightly, not revealing a single thing within. Only a faint, piercing scream of pain could be heard coming from within. That voice belonged to Su Ming.
Blood dripped down from the bottom of the ball of hair. There may not be a lot of it, but it was still a terrifying sight.
That scene shocked He Feng and he quickly retreated. Xuan Lun closed in on him with a cold sneer on his face. He lifted his right hand and pointed towards the ball of hair.
"It doesn't matter whether he's your companion or not. Now that he's under my Hair's Flow like Silk, he's still …" Before Xuan Lun could finish speaking, the ball of hair floating in the air gradually dissipated as he pointed towards it.
Yet what made Xuan Lun stunned was that once the ball of hair dissipated, Su Ming was not inside. It was empty. There was only a small amount of blood that dripped down as the ball of hair dissipated.
Even He Feng was taken aback.
Right before their eyes, Su Ming disappeared without a trace. They did not notice him at all. It was as if he had disappeared into thin air. It was clear that he had used a unique method to leave the place. Due to it being too sudden, it caused the battlefield to fall into silence.
He Feng's expression immediately changed. He lost his judgment, but soon after, an enigmatic smile appeared on his face. He moved and was just about to escape when Xuan Lun flew into a rage. He turned around and charged towards He Feng.
Booming sounds reverberated in the air. After a long while, a shrill scream traveled forth. He Feng coughed out blood, and his entire body was covered in blood mist. His face was pale, and he looked as if he was about to die. He fell to the ground with a bang, and the moment he landed, his entire body suddenly shone with a bright light. That light was so bright that it made Xuan Lun's pupils shrink as he chased after him with killing intent.
At that moment, He Feng looked as if his Qi and blood were burning in the strong light. He rushed out and turned into a blazing sun that shone continuously in the dark night. His speed increased exponentially, and with a speed that made even Xuan Lun's heart tremble, he charged into the distance. Xuan Lun's expression changed. He lifted his right hand and tapped a few spots on his body before he chased after He Feng. Very soon, the two of them turned into two long arcs that left the horizon. They sped up and disappeared into the distance.
Time passed by slowly. An hour later, in the midst of the silence, a hand stretched out from a clump of mud in the rainforest that was filled with miasma. That hand was withered and looked like a dead person's claw. As it struggled, a person appeared.
That person had no hair. His face was completely sunken in, making him look like a skeleton. His eyes were dull, and once he struggled out of the mud, he started panting as if he had used all his strength.
As he panted, blood flowed continuously from the corners of his mouth. That blood was black and gave off a foul stench.
"Xuan Lun, you didn't expect that I, He Feng, would have a backup plan. I've made ample preparations to hunt you down. I might have wasted a Substitute Puppet that even Han Fei Zi didn't know about and sacrificed a large amount of my blood and life, but as long as I'm still alive, it's enough. You will definitely die in my hands. Father, Mother, and my people, I will take revenge for all of you!" The withered person was He Feng. He was not dead!
'It's a pity that the mysterious young man used some unknown method to escape this place, or else my plan would have been even more perfect, and I wouldn't have to make myself so weak right now.
'I need to recover as soon as possible. With the speed of my puppet, Xuan Lun will need a few days to catch up to me. I won't have enough time to wait for him to notice the abnormality before he returns.
'But I've also benefited from this disaster. I managed to break through the Blood Solidification Realm. The method Han Fei Zi mentioned was indeed effective. If I didn't chase after the greatest number of blood veins and didn't ask for more than 950 veins, then when I'm in danger and am forced into a corner, I would have a chance of successfully Transcending.
'Now, as long as my cultivation base recovers slightly, I will become a powerful Berserker in the Transcendence Realm, and I will be able to draw my own Berserker Mark! 'With Han Fei Zi's help, I will finally have the right to become an outer member of the 16 Dark Spirits.' He Feng sucked in a deep breath. He could not move his body much at that moment, and he was practically at his weakest. If it was not because his recovery rate was incredibly slow in the mud and he was worried that Xuan Lun would rush back and notice him, he would not have struggled out of the mud. At that moment, he could only lie down and slowly heal his wounds.
'I need three days!' He Feng lifted his right hand with great difficulty and slowly reached into his bosom. A light shone from his bosom, and he brought out a small bottle. That bottle was completely white, and it looked almost transparent. One could vaguely see some liquid inside.
Just as he was about to use his teeth to bite off the cork of the bottle, He Feng's body suddenly froze, and as if he had been frozen, he did not move. All the hairs on his body stood up. A strong sense of danger descended upon him, and the thing that brought about that sense of danger and made him panic was a voice that was as cold as the freezing wind.
"He Feng, I'm here to take the item you promised me as a form of repayment."
As He Feng's heart trembled, he saw a person walking slowly towards him from the rainforest not too far away. That person exuded a chilling aura, as if he was ice that would never melt. As he arrived, a mighty pressure spread out.
