"This person should be her companion; capture him first!"

The black-clad leader looked at Luo Feng and gave an order.

His thoughts were simple. The female disciple from Yuangang Hall in front of him was too formidable. With her present, attempting to escape was a pipe dream. Only by capturing Luo Feng as a hostage could they have even a sliver of hope.

"Yes!"

"Kid, surrender quietly!"

Upon receiving the order, three black-clad men immediately darted from the team, their feet not touching the ground, lunging directly at Luo Feng with sinister and evil smiles on their faces.

Having learned from Lin Hongyi’s previous example, the black-clad leader acted very cautiously this time and sent out the last three martial artists at the Spiritual Rotation Realm.

"Young hero, be careful!"

The middle-aged village chief looked up to see the three black-clad men lunge at Luo Feng, his expression shocked.

Until now, he had not seen Luo Feng make a move, thinking in his heart that Lin Hongyi was the stronger of the two. Seeing the three Spiritual Rotation Realm black-clad men attack Luo Feng simultaneously, he couldn’t help but worry whether they could be resisted.

"Do they really want to capture me alive? Do I look that weak?"

Facing the incoming black-clad men, Luo Feng smiled wryly. Without thinking, he knew what the black-clad leader was plotting in his heart.

"Ruthless Way!"

As the three black-clad men entered the five-meter range, eight Sky Fire King’s Arms appeared behind Luo Feng, carrying an imposing and irresistible aura, and punched out.

The next moment!

BOOM!

Thunder roared, and brilliant flames shot up to the sky. A massive flaming fist force swept out, collapsing everything in its path. The air was instantly compressed to the point of explosion. The three black-clad men couldn’t evade in time and were swallowed by the fist force, all flying backward, spitting large amounts of blood mixed with pieces of flesh, lying motionless on the ground.

"One punch killed three people!"

All the villagers were shocked, and the middle-aged village chief’s eyes widened.

He had thought Luo Feng had just recently entered the Spiritual Rotation Realm’s cultivation, but he didn’t expect that the three black-clad men with the same cultivation couldn’t withstand even a single move, all meeting their demise.

"Dammit!"

The black-clad leader almost spat blood in anger. Leaving home today without checking the almanac, he encountered one freak after another. Initially thinking this young man hadn’t acted yet, assuming he wasn’t that strong. In the end, he turned out to be the strongest, casually annihilating his three capable subordinates with a single punch.

Actually, he guessed wrong. Luo Feng’s cultivation had broken through to the late peak of the sixth level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm, which still had a considerable gap compared to Lin Hongyi at the late seventh level.

However, Lin Hongyi was injured, and in her current state, she had only recovered about sixty percent. This made Luo Feng’s strength seem superior.

"Go!"

Knowing staying any longer would mean certain death, the black-clad leader gave the order, his figure shooting off into the distance.

The other black-clad men, already terrified out of their wits by the tremendous strength of Luo Feng and Lin Hongyi, heard the order and immediately scattered like birds and beasts, fleeing in all directions.

Luo Feng sneered, "Still want to run?" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Just about to make a move.

"Mountain Splitter!"

In mid-air, a crisp shout echoed as Lin Hongyi’s eyes gleamed coldly. Her single leg, akin to a blade, slashed down at the escaping black-clad men.

BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM...

A mountain-shaped phantom over ten stories high appeared, enveloping all the fleeing black-clad men. It dove down, collapsing further with each moment, matching the outline of the mountain perfectly.

Ah!

Those black-clad men seemed trapped in a quagmire, unable to move an inch. Only the black-clad men with cultivation in the Meridian Wheel Realm bled from their seven orifices, their bodies gradually compressing until they became a puddle of flesh without any remains, making the nearby common villagers shiver down their spines.

Of the nearly ten escaping, only the leader survived. However, under the pressure of the mountain-shaped phantom, he too bled from his seven orifices, his feet deeply embedded in the hard rock ground, looking exceedingly miserable.

"Lin Hongyi, wait a moment."

Luo Feng stopped Lin Hongyi, saying, "I have something to ask him."

Lin Hongyi nodded, and the mountain-shaped phantom stabilized, no longer pressing down.

Luo Feng darted close by, looking at the black-clad leader and asked, "Was Cold Mist Village nearby also attacked by you guys?"

The black-clad leader coughed out a mouthful of blood, staring straight at Luo Feng, "So what if it was?"

"Why did you attack these ordinary people?"

The black-clad leader sneered cruelly, "Why should I tell you?"

Humph!

Lin Hongyi’s willow eyebrows arched, and her aura suddenly soared. The golden mountain crumbled inch by inch, the protective Gang energy on the black-clad leader’s body emitted creaking sounds, as if it would shatter and turn into flesh at any moment.

Wow!

The black-clad leader spat a mouthful of blood. A viciousness flashed in his eyes, his countenance ghost-like as he glared at Luo Feng sinisterly:

"Let’s die together!"

As he spoke, he suddenly opened his right hand, revealing a thumb-sized blood-red pellet inside.

Blood Gang Thunderbolt Bomb!

Luo Feng immediately recognized the blood-red pellet in the opponent’s hand.

BOOM!

Just then, the golden mountain shadow suddenly crashed down, slamming the black-clad leader’s body into the ground.

The next moment.

A sound like thunder resounded from the ground as if an earthquake occurred; the earth split into countless cracks, forming a massive pit a hundred meters across, clearly caused by the black-clad leader triggering the Blood Gang Thunderbolt Bomb.

Snap!

Luo Feng’s figure appeared a hundred meters away, looking at the dent in the ground, patting his clothes, he said:

"This person sure has some spirit."

Lin Hongyi appeared beside Luo Feng, nodded: "It’s a pity, we didn’t get any information out of him. We should have kept a few alive. The disappearance of over a thousand from Cold Mist Village was probably also their doing. I wonder what their purpose is."

Luo Feng said: "Since there are so many Demon Sect disciples here, there may be others nearby. We can capture a few more and interrogate them."

"Alright."

While the two were talking, the eastern sky gradually showed a fish-belly white, and unknowingly, it was already dawn.

The villagers woke from their shock, their eyes turning to Luo Feng and Lin Hongyi with awe. The boys and girls in the village were even more bright-eyed.

Their dazzling strength was far beyond their imagination. If someone were to claim they were Immortals, these people would not argue.

"This time, we Neighbour Water Village were able to escape death, thanks to you two. Please accept my bow!"

The middle-aged village chief cupped his fists, about to bow to the two.

He knew well that if not for Luo Feng and Lin Hongyi’s rescue, Neighbour Water Village’s nearly thousand people would surely have followed in Cold Mist Village’s footsteps.

Buzz!

Lin Hongyi waved her spotless hand, an invisible force lifted the middle-aged village chief, she said calmly: "Eradicating evil is the duty of Golden Palace disciples, there’s no need to thank us."

"Hey, Huangshan, you’re not dead!"

At this moment, a villager was about to handle the bodies of two villagers on the ground when he suddenly noticed one of them twitch their fingers, showing a look of surprise.

"Huangshan isn’t dead, that’s great, seeing them so badly hurt, I thought they were done for."

"Doctor, quickly check on their condition."

Other villagers also noticed the two villagers’ bodies moving and immediately fetched the village’s only doctor.

Suddenly!

One of the injured villagers jumped up from the ground, pouncing directly on the nearest villager, tearing off a large chunk of flesh from the person’s arm.

Ah!

The villager screamed in agony and rage, "Huangshan, what are you doing! Let go of me!"

"Hmm?"

Lin Hongyi’s willow eyebrows furrowed, she dashed over, and without a word, punched Huangshan away, then grabbed the injured villager’s left arm, her five fingers exerting force.

Crack!

With a clear sound of bone cracking, the injured villager screamed, his entire left arm, along with the bones and flesh, was crushed and torn off by Lin Hongyi.

"Sir, what... what are you doing?"

The injured villager was sweating in pain, almost passing out, but he dared not resent Lin Hongyi, asking through chattering teeth.

Lin Hongyi casually tossed the severed arm aside, tossed a pill to the person, and said indifferently:

"This is a Hemostatic Pill. If you kept that arm, you’d become like them."

The villager followed Lin Hongyi’s direction and gasped.

Huangshan and his brother, injured by the man in black, were struggling to rise from the ground, their mouths glowing blood-red, their skin starting to crack, with blood light seeping from the gaps, resembling blood men. Huangshan still had flesh hanging from his mouth, emitting beast-like roars, looking incredibly evil.

The nearby villagers were pale with fright, unable to believe their eyes.

"What is this?"

Luo Feng came to Lin Hongyi’s side and asked.

"Blood Corpses. No surprise, these people should be the subordinates of Blood Poison Demonic General. The Blood Poison Demonic General refines a kind of blood corpse powder, which can turn corpses into blood corpses, acting under his orders. These blood corpses will instinctively devour fresh flesh nearby. Those bitten, if their cultivation is insufficient, will also turn into blood corpses, extremely evil. In the past, many small dynasties were destroyed by blood corpses during the war between the Hundred Kingdoms and the West Desert Demon Sect."

Lin Hongyi had been cultivating in the Golden Palace for a year, making her quite knowledgeable about Demon Sect matters, and she explained fluently.

"Since it’s an evil thing, let’s send them on their way."

Emperor Yan’s Sky-breaking Saber appeared in Luo Feng’s hand, slashing through the air.

Whoosh!

A stunning blade light swept forth, slicing the two blood corpses in half at the waist.

However, the two blood corpses did not die, instead, their four-segmented bodies crawled towards them.

Lin Hongyi said: "This is the terrifying aspect of blood corpses. To kill them, aside from destroying the blood energy within them, another way is to destroy their bodies."

As she spoke, Lin Hongyi grasped the air with her right hand, causing the space ahead to twist. The bodies of the two blood corpses exploded, disappearing without a trace.

"How bizarre."

Luo Feng frowned slightly, easily imagining that if these blood corpses appeared in large numbers, it would be an absolute disaster, as ordinary people would have no means of resistance against them.

Lin Hongyi furrowed her brows slightly, pondered, and said:

"I wonder why the Blood Demon Sect is making blood corpses here."

Luo Feng said: "We’ll know after capturing and questioning a few Demon Sect disciples."

"Alright."

Luo Feng turned to the middle-aged village chief and asked:

"What other cities and villages are around here?"

"Within a hundred miles, there’s only our Neighbour Water Village and Cold Mist Village. Two or three hundred miles further south, there’s a town called South Mountain Town, and some villages nearby. As for large cities, there’s only Dayang City, a thousand miles to the south."

The middle-aged village chief, recovering from his startle, hurriedly answered.

Dayang City?

A thought flashed through Luo Feng’s mind.
