“As long as you lead me to the true pure yin body, sparing these worthless ones is no big deal!” Lin Feng inwardly cursed; the old witch had been waiting for him to lead her to where Wang Xiaoyun was hiding. Damn it, he almost fell into her trap! But why did she now reveal her purpose? If she had stayed hidden, he wouldn’t have been able to detect her at all. Wouldn’t that have been simpler? Ah, she must be overly confident, disdainful of using such tactics. Clearly, she didn’t take him seriously!
“Hmph! Old witch, let’s fight three hundred rounds first!” Lin Feng feigned an attack to give Zhu Tingting and the others a chance to escape. However, these foolish girls, enraged by the woman repeatedly calling them useless, picked up sticks and stones, ready to teach this rude woman a lesson. Lin Feng sighed in frustration, then yelled, “Zhu Tingting, you stupid girls, if you don’t leave now, I’ll strip you all naked and throw you into the ravine to feed the wolves!”
Zhu Tingting and her companions, angered, turned their weapons towards Lin Feng. “Grandmother, at a time like this, you still have the mind to play around? You’re driving me mad!” The woman seemed to enjoy the chaos, watching from the side with interest. Lin Feng didn’t know that despite his repeated threats, his charm-boosting game gear was not just for show. These five girls were subconsciously drawn to him, and seeing him trying to make them leave for another mysterious woman sparked their jealousy, leading to their revolt.
And the mysterious woman, watching the commotion, was also subtly affected, wanting to observe Lin Feng’s every move. Moreover, this seemingly insignificant man had just managed to break through her illusion, which made her reveal herself. Lin Feng tried to lead Zhu Tingting and her friends in the opposite direction, away from Wang Xiaoyun’s hideout, but the old witch followed closely, never straying more than ten meters away, and if he crossed her set boundary, she would gesture to attack one of them, clearly anticipating his escape attempt.
With no other choice, Lin Feng, while dodging Zhu Tingting’s continuous attacks, sent mental messages to Wang Xiaoyun to leave her hiding place and return on her own. Just as he thought this, a crisp ringtone echoed from not far ahead, and a girl, dressed like a walking tree with a grass wreath on her head, holding a micro-submachine gun, came into view. Who else could it be but Wang Xiaoyun? After resting, she had left her hiding place, found a mountain spring to drink from, and gathered some wild fruits to eat. Feeling her strength return, she worried about Lin Feng’s safety and decided to come to his aid, equipped with the submachine gun Lin Feng had given her.
Upon receiving Lin Feng’s message and knowing he was safe, Wang Xiaoyun felt relieved. She heard the commotion ahead and whispered, “Lin Feng, is that you? I’m here to back you up!” The veiled woman clapped her hands, laughing, “Hehehe, thank you for the free show. Now, I have business to attend to. Excuse me!” Her figure moved swiftly towards where Wang Xiaoyun’s voice came from.
Lin Feng roared, “Old witch, stop! Your life is mine…” With his swift steps, he turned into a wisp of smoke, machete in hand, charging towards the veiled woman. “Seeking death!” The woman paused mid-air, and Lin Feng’s machete missed her, the wind from the blade lifting her veil. The woman’s cold expression didn’t change as she flicked her fingers towards Lin Feng’s face. He was momentarily stunned by her beauty but then noticed the blue flame dancing at her fingertips, a chill spreading through him. Cursing his distraction, Lin Feng’s mind shifted, and his machete, following the principle of ‘straight with a bend, turning naturally,’ returned just in time to block her lethal strike. The blue flame clung to the blade, burning fiercely, and in a blink, the machete turned to dust, scattering in the air. Seeing the formidable power of the blue flames, Lin Feng dared not hesitate any longer. Gathering all his concentration, he pushed his already maximized Swift Wind Step technique to accelerate even further. Lin Feng circled around his opponent at high speed without a moment’s rest, his left hand swinging repeatedly: “Whirlwind Slash!” With a series of loud bangs, he unleashed seventeen or eighteen lethal strikes without holding back. Eighteen Whirlwind Slash magic cards shot out from his palm, expanding in the wind and instantly transforming into powerful whirlwinds that howled back towards the masked woman. The surrounding trees and rocks were all affected, suddenly appearing as if a volcano had erupted, obscuring the sky with debris. Boom, boom, boom… The Whirlwind Slashes collided, causing a tremendously violent explosion. For a moment, it felt as if the earth was shaking, and the sky might collapse.
Taking advantage of this brief opportunity, Lin Feng rushed to Wang Xiaoyun’s side in an instant, ignoring her stunned expression, he grabbed her slender waist, hoisted her onto his shoulder, and without any explanation, started running. All his movements were seamless; Wang Xiaoyun had no time to react, only managing to stare with wide eyes at the series of windstorms erupting behind them. As for the other girls, since the old witch wasn’t targeting them, they should be smart enough to find a hiding spot; the witch probably wouldn’t have the time to bother with them. Could the old witch have been killed by the Whirlwind Slash? What a ridiculous thought! That crazy old woman could turn a heavy steel machete into dust with a mere flick of her finger; how could a few low-level Whirlwind Slash magic cards kill her? Lin Feng hadn’t even considered what might happen if he actually killed the old witch. Fortunately, he had reacted quickly, made a decisive move, and carried Wang Xiaoyun away.
Behind him, the explosions grew more intense with each wave, leaving a barren area within a radius of dozens of meters as if a divine barber had casually swept through, leaving nothing but bare ground. A massive mushroom cloud obscured the sky, with turbulent waves of dust making visibility impossible. However, the dust in mid-air seemed to be suddenly cut apart by a sharp blade, parting to the sides as the masked woman stepped out from the void within.
Gazing in the direction where the two had fled, the masked woman spat lightly and murmured to herself, “A wind mage, huh? Pure and vigorous, quite unexpected. This kid has some skill; interesting!”
“A perfect body of pure yin, and an excellent body of pure yang, today’s harvest is quite substantial!” The white-robed masked woman spoke softly, looking at the two small black dots disappearing into the distance, her laughter nonchalant. “Hehe, as long as you don’t escape the range of Yuban Mountain, where can you run?”
Just as she was about to act, the sound of barking dogs and the crisp sound of many boots hitting the rocks came from afar. Above Yuban Mountain, the roar of six or seven armed helicopters rapidly approached from different directions. The Yushan City police force this time was fully equipped, evidently taking the bandit gang entrenched on Yuban Mountain seriously.
“Damn, more and more annoying pests!” The masked woman cursed as the helicopters roared overhead, immediately extinguishing her flames. At the same time, her figure began to fade into the air, trembling like ripples on water, and then she disappeared without a trace.
The helicopters swiftly passed overhead, circled for a moment, and then headed towards the Laojun Temple at the peak. About a cup of tea’s time later, over a dozen fierce police dogs arrived at the devastated forest, followed by a large group of fully armed SWAT officers. Leading them was a valiant female police officer, Xu Xiaoman.
“Devils! Devils…” The five girls huddled among the rocks, upon seeing what seemed like family, could no longer hold back, collapsing in tears.
