Actually, after Xiao Hei realized that the situation was not good, he reserved the strength for one last attack. He firmly believed that after his brother Du came out, he would be able to solve this problem. Therefore, he had been looking forward to it. Du Feng finally came out and successfully defeated the woman in purple.
Taking advantage of the fact that his body could still move, he used the last bit of his strength to complete his beast transformation and directly swallowed the woman in purple's broken body. Following which, he fiercely sucked the purple-gold lightning above into his stomach.
"Crackle, crackle …"
It was as if a large number of firecrackers had been lit in the shrine, emitting a series of explosions. That was because Xiao Hei had swallowed too much in one gulp, and the lightning was exploding in his body. It looked very dangerous, as if he could be blown to pieces at any time.
But in fact, Du Feng could feel that his aura was becoming stronger and stronger. But this kind of rapid increase in strength would inevitably cause his aura to be a little unstable.
"Steady!"
Du Feng stretched out both hands and pressed them on Xiao Hei's back, helping him circulate the violent power in his body. At this moment, Xiao Hei's body was in chaos. Large amounts of godly power were surging non-stop, like thousands of great rivers converging together, all trying to squeeze into his dantian.
But if they squeezed in together, Xiao Hei's dantian would definitely explode.
The woman in purple had used a month to absorb his energy bit by bit. Conversely, he had to swallow it back bit by bit. But now that he had swallowed it in one gulp, he needed to digest it in a short period of time.
"Rumble …"
Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled in Xiao Hei's body. Fortunately, inside the shrine. If it was outside the shrine, it would definitely cause a commotion. Because he had swallowed too quickly, his body did not have time to completely shrink back into human form. Now, he was in a half-human, half-beast state. His body was human, but his head was in the shape of a qilin.
Although the beast form had a strong swallowing ability, it was naturally best to circulate the cultivation technique in human form. Moreover, only when Xiao Hei maintained his human form could Du Feng be of help.
If he had swallowed an ordinary thing, Xiao Hei could have used his beast form to sleep in the small world of the necklace. By the time he woke up, he would have absorbed everything. But the situation this time was different. If he really fell into a deep slumber, he might not wake up for decades or even centuries.
That was why Du Feng was working so hard to help him regulate the violent energy in his body, to the point that he was sweating profusely. In order to save his brother, this bit of suffering was nothing. As long as he succeeded this time, Xiao Hei would be able to absorb all the abilities and fuse them with the purple-clothed woman's abilities.
With his Black Gold Qilin foundation, after fusing with this power, he would definitely become even stronger, even stronger than the purple-clothed woman's state just now.
Kacha!
A bolt of purple-gold lightning failed to control itself and pierced through Xiao Hei's back. Du Feng was too close. He had no time to dodge and was hit directly. It landed squarely on his chest. His hand was pressed against Xiao Hei's body, and he could not move it away at all. At the critical moment, he summoned his golden scales and layered them in front of his chest.
Luckily, this purple crystal lightning was buffered by Xiao Hei's body, so it was not that powerful. Even so, it still shattered many layers of the golden scales in front of Du Feng's chest. It shook him so much that he licked his throat and almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
Du Feng, who had tempered his body, used his strength to forcefully swallow the blood back down.
Although Xiao Hei's back was facing Du Feng, he actually knew everything. He was so touched that he wanted to cry, but he could not move. Because if he moved, his breathing would be messed up, and it would negatively affect his brother Du. It was really hard to find someone as loyal as Du Feng.
Du Feng was really a tough guy. He was not feeling any better than Xiao Hei. It could be said that he had shared a large part of Xiao Hei's pain. He forcefully endured it and did not make a sound.
Just like that, the two of them did their best to circulate their energy. Fortunately, no one came to look for them. In fact, Du Feng had a lot of questions in his heart. For example, why did Linghu Yunce's father introduce the purple-clothed woman to Xiao Hei? Could it be that he wanted to harm Xiao Hei?
If he wanted to harm Xiao Hei, then what was his goal? Just to make the purple-clothed woman stronger? This was not very likely.
Or perhaps he did not know and had been schemed against by someone else. But the person who schemed against him must be someone from the Linghu family. Because the purple-clothed woman was also a guest elder of the Linghu family. Moreover, this person was able to obtain the trust of Linghu Yunce's father. Their relationship was certainly not ordinary.
Regardless of the reason, Du Feng had already made up his mind. When Xiao Hei recovered, he would immediately take him away. For the time being, they would not stay in the Linghu family or the Silver City.
His only worry now was that someone would suddenly come to look for them. If they discovered that the shrine was closed and left immediately, it would be fine. But if they deliberately destroyed the shrine, it would affect Xiao Hei, causing his aura to become chaotic and his body to collapse.
Fortunately, Du Feng helped Xiao Hei circulate his energy for three days and three nights, and no one came to disturb them. Of course, this did not mean that the Linghu family was free of suspicion.
It was also possible that they believed that the purple-clothed woman had succeeded and was absorbing Xiao Hei's ability, so they did not come to disturb her. Hence, this matter still needed to be sorted out properly. For the safety of his brother and himself, he could not be impulsive. After all, the other party was a deep-rooted family.
Moreover, Du Feng's relationship with Linghu Yunce was not bad. He could not easily fall out with them before thoroughly investigating.
Just like this, another three days and three nights passed. Xiao Hei's aura gradually stabilized.
"Brother Du, you rest. I'll do it myself."
Xiao Hei could already control his body. He let Du Feng rest first while he adjusted his condition.
"Alright, you adjust yourself first."
This time, Du Feng did not refuse because he also needed to adjust his condition. Perhaps when the two of them left Silver City, the enemy would immediately follow, and then they would have to fight again. If he was not in a good state, it would affect his performance.
After about four hours, Xiao Hei and Du Feng both adjusted themselves. After a little preparation, they directly put away the shrine and left without saying goodbye to anyone. Du Feng let Xiao Hei hide in his necklace pocket world to avoid being discovered by others. Moreover, this was the only way to sneak into Gold City.
"It's you. When did you come back?"
Xiao Hei entered the necklace pocket world and found that the ghost servant was also there. If it was in the past, he would have beaten the ghost servant first. This traitor left his brother Du for a woman. But now, Xiao Hei did not have the face to beat the ghost servant because he was also cheated by the woman and almost lost his life. If it was not for brother Du, he probably would not have a good ending.
"I … I just met brother Du."
