40: lucky

Lin Feng saw that the opponent's hairpin attack was very strong, so he cautiously applied two more Golden Light Talismans to himself, and at the same time, he cast several movement Talismans on himself, retreating rapidly.

Just as Lin Feng was about to take out more Talismans, the red light broke through five or six of Lin Feng's golden protective shields, and its power was greatly reduced.

At this moment, Lin Feng's Profound Moon Heart-Protecting Mirror also shifted its position on Lin Feng's body and was struck by the red light.

The blood-red light transformed from the hairpin was bounced away.

The black-clad man who attacked Lin Feng thought he could definitely kill Lin Feng and did not continue with follow-up actions, but Lin Feng withstanding his attack left him momentarily stunned.

While he was shocked, Xiao Ying had already arrived beside the black-clad man from an unknown direction, making a swift pounce towards him.

The black-clad man's attention had been entirely on Lin Feng, so when Xiao Ying pounced, it startled him, and he quickly tried to cast a defense on himself.

Unfortunately, it was too late; he was knocked down by Xiao Ying and had his neck bitten off.

He died with a look of shock and panic on his face.

At this moment, the black-clad man fighting Yin Bo had just engaged him when he discovered that his companion had already been killed by Lin Feng, so he no longer dared to fight.

He immediately intended to abandon his opponent, Yin Bo, and flee for his life.

Yin Bo, at this moment, had a face full of pleasant surprise and, seeing the opponent about to run, hastily cast a spell to block him.

Lin Feng likewise could not let him escape.

Lin Feng's Light Spirit Boots flashed with green light under his feet, and he arrived behind the opponent at an extremely fast speed.

Without a word, the Talismans in his hand were thrown at the opponent as if they were worthless.

The man knew that both of his companions had died under Lin Feng's Talisman attacks, so he quickly dodged to one side, not forgetting to cast several defenses on himself.

However, Lin Feng and Yin Bo had no intention of letting the opponent go; one unleashed spell attacks, while the other used highly effective Talisman attacks.

The black-clad man tried to escape several times at this moment, but was injured by Lin Feng and Yin Bo's attacks.

Just as he was desperately dodging, Xiao Ying almost pounced on him.

This black-clad man was not only a Cultivator, but also clearly knew some martial arts from the mortal world.

He ducked down and rolled on the ground to evade the attack, then leaped up, attempting to escape.

At this moment, Lin Feng's Three Yangs Carrying Yin Needles, taking advantage of the opponent having just leaped up after rolling on the ground and dodging Xiao Ying's attack in mid-air, instantly pierced through his head.

The light in the black-clad man's pupils gradually faded, and he fell to the ground, never to rise again.

He never imagined that their three Late-Stage Qi Refining Cultivators would be killed by a Late-Stage and a Middle Stage Qi Refining Cultivator, and they didn't even have a chance to escape.

Lin Feng saw that all three black-clad men had been killed, and the entire battle lasted an extremely short time, no more than a cup of tea's worth.

Lin Feng came to the bodies of the three black-clad men, searched their three Storage Pouches, and found three blood-colored tokens.

On one side of the tokens was written ' outside' (Outer), and on the other side were written ' open', ' king', ' Liu' respectively.

Lin Feng guessed that these so-called Zhang, Wang, Liu might be the surnames of the three men.

Lin Feng did not dare to stay in this place for long.

He cast a Fireball Technique on each of the three bodies and then quickly left the area with Yin Bo.

Just an hour after Lin Feng left the area, a middle-aged man with a gloomy expression arrived at the place where Lin Feng, Yin Bo, and the three black-clad men had fought.

Looking at the traces of the battle and the place where the three bodies had been destroyed, he angrily cursed, “Useless!”

If Lin Feng had been there, he would have recognized the middle-aged man at a glance; it was none other than Lin Feng's enemy, Ren Xiangyou.

At this time, Ren Xiangyou had long lost the vigor he had when he attacked Liuyun Market.

He was pale at this moment, and Ren Xiangyou's aura was no longer at Foundation Establishment Peak.

He had been injured by He Butong back then, barely escaping with his life by damaging his Origin, and had not recovered to this day.

His Realm had also fallen from Foundation Establishment Peak to Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment.

Ren Xiangyou investigated the battlefield where Lin Feng and the black-clad men had fought for a full half an hour before confirming that the Cultivators who killed his three subordinates were not Foundation Establishment cultivators.

His pale face was extremely gloomy.

Following the Spiritual Qi fluctuations, he rose into the air and flew in the direction Lin Feng and Yin Bo had fled.

At this time, Lin Feng and Yin Bo did not yet know that they had been targeted by a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Lin Feng, having killed the black-clad men, knew that there were people from the Blood Demon Sect in the Qingyun Mountain Range, and felt very uneasy.

He knew that not all the Foundation Establishment cultivators who attacked Liuyun Market back then had been eliminated by He Butong.

To be cautious, he and Yin Bo traveled non-stop towards Liuyun Market at extreme speed.

It took Lin Feng and Yin Bo a day to arrive, but the return journey was much faster.

Along the way, the two remained silent, not even hunting Cultivators or some weaker Yao Beasts they encountered, and hurried back at top speed.

It was their caution that allowed the two of them to escape a disaster.

Just as Ren Xiangyou was about to catch up with them, the two had already reached the vicinity of the market's controlled territory.

When Ren Xiangyou, who had been pursuing them from the sky, finally caught up, Lin Feng and Yin Bo also spotted Ren Xiangyou behind them.

The two were greatly alarmed and, ignoring everything else, each cast speed-enhancing spells on themselves and ran towards the market at top speed.

Ren Xiangyou had pursued them for a long time with great difficulty, and seeing that the two had discovered him and their speed had greatly increased, he hesitated for a moment before giving up.

He no longer dared to approach Liuyun Market.

Not to mention there were dozens of Foundation Establishment cultivators in this place, there were even four Golden Core Ancestors presiding over it.

Although he was brutal in his actions and always sought revenge, he would not risk his life to kill two little Qi Refining Stage fellows.

Ren Xiangyou merely gave Lin Feng and Yin Bo a deep look from the distant sky and then turned to leave.

Lin Feng and Yin Bo, at this moment, ran frantically until they were outside Liuyun Market before looking back.

Finding that Ren Xiangyou had not continued to pursue them, they exchanged glances, both seeing a hint of luck and the relief of having escaped death in each other's eyes.

At this point, the two tidied their disheveled clothes in front of the market entrance before confidently walking into Liuyun Market.

After returning to Liuyun Market, the two went together to Lin Feng's residence.

Lin Feng and Yin Bo had only been away from the market for a day and a half, so their acquaintances did not know they had left.

When they met acquaintances on the road, they were only curious about their somewhat messy and worn clothes, but they just greeted them without asking further questions.

When the two arrived at Lin Feng's residence, under Yin Bo's eager gaze, Lin Feng took out a jade box.

Opening the jade box, they saw a blood-red Blood Lotus.

This Blood Lotus had just matured, and as the jade box opened, a fragrant scent wafted out, invigorating both of them.

At the same time, this fragrance was accompanied by a faint scent of blood.

The growth of this item not only required a place rich in Spiritual Qi but also frequent watering with blood; otherwise, it could only survive but not grow.

This Blood Lotus had eight petals, and its lotus root was entirely blood-red.

After Lin Feng and Yin Bo examined it carefully, they found that this lotus had ten lotus seeds.

The two had originally planned to split it 70/30, with Yin Bo getting seven parts and Lin Feng three.

However, Lin Feng had contributed the most to this battle, so after some discussion, Lin Feng would receive 70%.

After the two equally divided the lotus petals and lotus root, the ten lotus seeds belonged to Lin Feng.

Of course, Lin Feng, considering that Yin Bo had discovered this item, was willing to pay one hundred low-grade Spirit Stones for all ten lotus seeds.

These Spirit Stones were found in the Storage Pouches of the three men killed by Lin Feng.

Since all three were killed by Lin Feng, the spoils of war naturally belonged to Lin Feng.

After giving the Spirit Stones to Yin Bo, Lin Feng also gave him a Storage Pouch, which was considered compensation for his injuries.
