238: Two roads
Immediately, Li Changfeng gripped the Nine Songs Sword in his hand and looked down at Zhang Wu.
A cold glint burst from the Nine Songs Sword in the air, creating a chilling sensation that was almost suffocating.
Zhang Wu took a sharp breath and first forced himself to calm down.
In such a situation, Zhang Wu knew he must not panic; once his mind was in disarray, only a path to death would remain.
"But the deaths of the Gao Family have nothing to do with me! I didn't kill them. I'm just a Mulan Manor disciple, I haven't done anything!" Zhang Wu clenched his fists tightly.
At that moment.
Zhang Wu cautiously moved his other hand behind his back, feeling for a dagger tucked at his waist.
With a dagger in hand, he would have more confidence facing Li Changfeng; even if he were to die, he wouldn't be killed without a fight.
With a dagger, Zhang Wu could still break free and resist.
"Nothing to do with you? You are a Mulan Manor disciple, and the Gao Family was wiped out by Mulan Manor. Even so, you still claim it has nothing to do with you?" Li Changfeng's face darkened as he let out a cold snort.
If Mulan Manor hadn't been so overbearing, the forces of the world wouldn't be like this.
The major immortal sects feared Mulan Manor precisely because of its immense power!
The fact that the Gao Family had no room to resist against Mulan Manor was enough to prove how terrifying the manor was.
In truth, Li Changfeng was uncertain—if Mulan Manor were to attack the Divine Sword Sect, what would happen?
Would the Divine Sword Sect also be exterminated, with all its traces erased by Mulan Manor?
"If I had the strength to exterminate a clan, I wouldn't be bullied by you like this," Zhang Wu sighed deeply.
This was the reality of the world: only with great strength could one live well.
However, if you lacked the strength to even survive, you would be at the mercy of others.
"Enough, no more nonsense. I'll send you on your way now!" Li Changfeng's face was grim, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
A gust of strong wind echoed in the air.
The Sword in Li Changfeng's hand hummed.
It was at this moment.
Zhang Wu suddenly moved; he stomped his foot hard and leaped into the air.
"It won't be that easy to kill me! I'll take my leave first. Big brother, may we never meet again!" Zhang Wu pulled something out from his robes.
Zhang Wu slammed the object in his hand hard against the ground.
Boom.
Following a loud explosion.
Zhang Wu's figure instantly vanished into the dust and mist.
Just now, a cloud of white mist had exploded from the sphere, instantly obscuring everything on the Long Street.
Li Changfeng's gaze narrowed as he looked toward the spot where Zhang Wu had disappeared.
However, there was nothing left there, which made Li Changfeng very curious.
"What was that just now? A Smoke bomb? How could such a thing exist in this world!" Li Changfeng frowned, feeling somewhat uneasy.
Although Li Changfeng didn't know exactly what it was, he could deduce that it was similar to a Smoke bomb.
Still, the fact that such an item existed in this world was indeed very intriguing.
Li Changfeng stood dazed for a long time before he finally snapped out of it.
"No, I can't let that guy escape like this!" Li Changfeng clenched his fists, gripping the Nine Songs Sword tightly.
Then, Li Changfeng stepped forward and charged into the dust.
Zhang Wu's reactions were quick; seeing an opportunity, he had bolted and didn't dare to be careless.
After a while, Zhang Wu had already rushed out of the Gao Family Warehouse, escaped the backyard, and finally arrived in front of the main hall.
"Phew, I should be safe now, right? No, that can't be right; that guy might still catch up!" Zhang Wu's face was grim as he glanced back.
But there was no movement from the distant Gao Family Warehouse.
Seeing this, Zhang Wu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, Zhang Wu slowly raised his head, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
At that moment, a dark shadow appeared not far away.
Zhang Wu's gaze froze as he looked in that direction, taking a sharp breath. "Holy crap, no way? That guy really caught up? He's like a lingering ghost."
"Little brat, did you really think you could escape like that!" Li Changfeng sneered as he stepped forward.
Li Changfeng tapped his toe lightly and soared into the air; this was the so-called Void Soaring Art.
Relying on the Holy Spirit Art, he could master power that shouldn't have belonged to him.
Seeing this scene.
Zhang Wu clenched his fists, a cold light bursting from his eyes. "Damn it, run!"
"This guy actually managed to catch up!"
"This is going to be bad!"
Zhang Wu's face was grim; he didn't dare to delay and took a sharp breath, preparing to leave immediately.
Li Changfeng's figure suddenly vanished, and when he reappeared, he was already in front of Zhang Wu.
"What? Do you still think you can run?" Li Changfeng's lips curled into a smirk.
It was at this moment.
Zhang Wu slowly raised his head and looked at Li Changfeng, taking a sharp breath as he tried to calm himself.
Currently, Zhang Wu was heavily injured; facing the powerful Li Changfeng, he had no chance of escape.
A sense of despair welled up in Zhang Wu's heart, leaving him feeling utterly helpless.
"Big brother, I already said 'may we never meet again,' so why did you catch up!" Zhang Wu was incredibly frustrated; if he had a way, he would have left long ago.
However, Zhang Wu had no opportunity; he couldn't escape Li Changfeng's grasp.
At this moment, Li Changfeng smiled slightly, a cold glint flashing in his eyes as he stared intently at Zhang Wu.
"I told you, I won't let you go, so you only have two paths to take." Li Changfeng slowly reached out his hand and pointed at Zhang Wu.
"Big brother, which two paths?" Zhang Wu hurried forward and asked curiously.
As long as he could survive, Zhang Wu would do anything.
After all, if he wasn't killed, he would have more things to do, and he still wanted to enjoy himself before he died.
"First, you can be killed by me directly. Second, you can work for me." Li Changfeng's lips curled up as a new idea suddenly formed in his mind.
Li Changfeng sneered as he looked at Zhang Wu.
In truth, at the beginning, Li Changfeng really did want to kill Zhang Wu directly, but later...
Li Changfeng suddenly realized something: he wanted to use Zhang Wu to obtain more secrets about Mulan Manor.
"Really? Big brother, you won't kill me!" Zhang Wu's eyes lit up, and he quickly raised his head, a spark of hope flashing in his eyes.
