128: Chapter 128 Zhou Qingzi's ambush, I'm so scared...
Outside the cave, the night wind howled, and the tree shadows swayed...
The next day, early morning.
When the first ray of sunlight pierced through the mist of the Black Wind Mountain Range, the commotion inside the cave finally ceased completely.
Qin Feng walked out, fully dressed and feeling refreshed.
Behind him, Mu Siyao had changed into a spare set of Outer Sect Disciple robes. Although a trace of exhaustion and coquettishness remained in her eyes, the look she cast at Qin Feng now held only deep submission and reliance.
After being completely conquered by three slaps, she had fully adopted the role of a "slave girl."
"Let's go, back to the Sect."
Qin Feng instructed indifferently, then strode towards the direction of the Hehuan Sect.
"Yes, Master." Mu Siyao replied obediently, following closely half a step behind him.
The two traveled through the dense ancient forest.
Along the way, although Qin Feng appeared relaxed on the surface, he secretly kept his Divine Sense spread out, remaining vigilant of his surroundings.
Sure enough, when they were less than ten miles away from the Hehuan Sect.
"Whoosh!"
A sharp sound of breaking air came without warning from the dense forest ahead.
Accompanied by a powerful pressure of True Yuan, a water-blue figure swooped down from the treetops like a large bird, landing steadily on the path they had to take, directly cutting off their way.
"Boom!" The moment she landed, a powerful blast of Qi sent the fallen leaves on the ground flying into the sky.
The person who arrived was none other than Zhou Qingzi, the female Disciple who had mocked Qin Feng alongside Gou Changgen at the Qingmu Peak plaza and been humiliated in public!
At this moment, Zhou Qingzi looked arrogant, her chin slightly raised, staring fixedly at Qin Feng with a venomous gaze as if looking at a dead man.
"Yo, isn't this that arrogant Genius Qin?"
Zhou Qingzi crossed her arms over her chest, unscrupulously releasing the powerful pressure belonging to Qi Refining Level 6.
This pressure crushed down like a physical force, causing Mu Siyao, who was standing to the side, to change her expression slightly.
"Senior Sister Zhou, why are you here?" Mu Siyao subconsciously leaned closer to Qin Feng.
"So it's Junior Sister Mu. You're actually hanging out with this trash?"
Zhou Qingzi sneered repeatedly, not paying any attention to Mu Siyao, and said disdainfully:
"How am I here? Naturally, I came specifically to wait for him. This little beast has been acting recklessly in the Sect, relying on Elder Hongxia's influence. Senior Brother Gou and I noticed he accepted a mission and left the Sect, so we came out specifically to finish him off."
Hearing this, Qin Feng raised an eyebrow slightly, his gaze sweeping casually around the surrounding forest.
"Specifically to ambush me? Just you alone? Where is your lover, that wild dog Gou Changgen?"
Qin Feng stood with his hands behind his back, his tone carrying a hint of mockery.
"To deal with a piece of trash like you at the bottom of the Qi Refinement Stage, does Senior Brother Gou really need to take action himself?"
Zhou Qingzi looked arrogant and sneered: "Senior Brother Gou went to flank you from another path to prevent you from escaping. But there's no need to wait for Senior Brother; I can tear a piece of trash like you into ten thousand pieces in one move!"
She put on a grand show of arrogance, as if she had already seen the scene of Qin Feng kneeling and begging for mercy.
However, facing the killing intent locked onto him by a Qi Refining Level 6 expert, Qin Feng not only showed no panic at all, but instead suddenly laughed out loud.
"Hehe..."
He turned his head, looked at the somewhat nervous Mu Siyao beside him, and very naturally reached out a large hand to gently pat her soft shoulder.
"This has nothing to do with you. Follow this path and go back to the Sect first. Warm up my bed and wait for me to return."
Qin Feng's tone was very flat, as if he were instructing her on a trivial matter.
However, these words fell into Mu Siyao's ears like a thunderclap on a clear day.
She suddenly raised her head, looking at the man with the cold profile in front of her in disbelief.
In this world of cultivation, a place of selfishness where everyone flies apart when disaster strikes, especially in such a dangerous moment facing a Qi Refining Level 6 enemy, he actually let her leave first?!
Recalling how she had betrayed him without hesitation yesterday, and even wanted to kill him.
And now, the other party was standing alone in front of a powerful enemy, leaving the path of survival for her.
In an instant, Mu Siyao's heart felt as if it had been struck hard by something, and an unspeakably complex emotion surged into her heart.
She even felt a trace of morbid touched emotion...
'Qin Feng... he has me in his heart, even taking on this kind of danger for me.'
Mu Siyao's eyes grew slightly warm, but she knew that staying behind wouldn't help and would only make her a burden.
The point was, being touched was one thing, but her fear of death was another...
Therefore, she just took a deep look at Qin Feng's back, without any hesitation or pretense, and nodded heavily.
"Master, this slave girl will wait for you at the Sect. You must return safely."
After saying this, Mu Siyao used her movement technique, turning into an afterimage, and sped off towards the direction of the Hehuan Sect without looking back.
Zhou Qingzi watched Mu Siyao's departing figure and did not try to stop her.
After all, her only target was Qin Feng. As long as she killed this brat and avenged her great grudge, everything else was irrelevant.
"What? Playing the big hero? Do you think that by letting her leave first, you can die more decently?"
Zhou Qingzi drew the long sword from her waist, her expression twisted with extreme resentment, and laughed: "You bastard from the Servant District, today, even if the King of Heaven himself came, he couldn't save you. I want to see how you are prepared to die?!"
"How I am prepared to die?"
Hearing the vicious interrogation, a flash of evil charm crossed Qin Feng's deep black eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled into an extremely punchable, roguish smile.
"If I really have to choose a way to die..."
Qin Feng deliberately drew out his tone, his gaze unscrupulously sweeping over Zhou Qingzi's figure, which, despite her mean nature, was curvaceous and well-proportioned, and replied flippantly: "Then I would prefer to die from pleasure."
"You—!" "You're courting death!!!"
Zhou Qingzi was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized the obscenity in the other party's words. Her face instantly flushed red, and she trembled with rage.
"You little beast, I must skin you and pull out your tendons today!"
She roared, and her Qi Refining Level 6 cultivation exploded with full force, holding nothing back.
"Boom!" A powerful wave of True Yuan stirred up a gale in the surroundings. Zhou Qingzi merged with her sword, turning into a brilliant blue sword beam, carrying the terrifying power to split mountains and crack stones, stabbing fiercely at Qin Feng's heart.
The speed and oppressive feeling of this sword strike were more than a notch stronger than Mu Siyao's at Qi Refining Level 5!
Facing this thunderous strike, Qin Feng narrowed his eyes slightly.
In fact, relying on his cultivation after his Breakthrough and the evolution of his Martial Skill, he could completely face it head-on. But he was worried in his heart; after all, Gou Changgen was still wandering nearby. If he got entangled now and attacked from both sides, it would not be a wise move.
It would be better to lure this crazy woman away first and deal with them one by one!
One must understand that caution is the parent of safety.
"Clang—!"
Qin Feng did not draw his blade, but instead directly swung his right fist, wrapped in purple-gold Qi and blood, and smashed it fiercely against the sword beam.
Fist and sword met, erupting with a harsh sound of metal clashing and a violent blast of air.
The huge impact caused both of them to retreat backwards simultaneously.
Zhou Qingzi retreated three steps, her wrist holding the sword vibrating with numbness, and a flash of undisguised shock crossed her eyes.
Meanwhile, Qin Feng used this violent counter-shock force, his figure like a weightless fallen leaf, drifting directly backwards for more than a dozen zhang.
"As expected of Qi Refining Level 6, you have enough strength. However, your daddy here doesn't have time to play with you right now."
Qin Feng stomped his foot against a tree trunk, and his "Ghost Wind-Stepping" was pushed to the limit.
He turned into an afterimage, turned around, and sprinted deep into the dense forest in the opposite direction of the Hehuan Sect.
While running away, he didn't forget to turn his head and deliver an extremely arrogant tease: "Come on! Crazy woman, if you can catch me today, I'll let you hehehe..."
"Ah—! You stop right there!"
Zhou Qingzi was so angered by the obscene provocation that she completely lost her reason, her eyes reddening as she chased after him frantically.
