Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled-Chapter 389 - 385: Feigning Defeat, Counterattack from Desperation

Chapter 389: Chapter 385: Feigning Defeat, Counterattack from Desperation

"Hahaha, brat, you actually failed to completely refine that secret treasure?"

"This is simply a heaven-sent opportunity for me."

"Among everyone here, only my Great Dao of Li Huo has been cultivated to perfection; that treasure should be mine!" 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Ximen Qing spoke, casting a look of greedy temptation on Xia Feng’s body, as if wanting to see the appearance of that secret treasure through his clothes.

Xia Feng felt a chill from that stare, his skin crawling with goosebumps.

The Golden Crow Armor continuously sent waves of sensation to Xia Feng, seemingly wanting to devour the fire in front of it.

Xia Feng could clearly perceive the emotions conveyed by the Golden Crow Armor.

That devouring was driven by greed and hunger, and certainly not by the Golden Crow Armor wishing to betray and choose a new master.

However, Xia Feng’s eyes darted about; though his body leaned towards Ximen, following the Golden Crow Armor’s force, he appeared completely out of control.

Ximen Qing’s expression grew more arrogant, as he now possessed abilities beyond a Celestial Tier First Layer Martial God.

With Xia Feng appearing fatigued from overexertion, and with a secret treasure that seemed beyond his control.

Ximen Qing was practically on the verge of laughter.

"What isn’t yours, you might hold onto it, but it’s ultimately dressing for someone else!"

While speaking, he cautiously extended the Great Dao of Li Huo from his palm towards Xia Feng’s body.

Upon contact, Xia Feng feigned a look of intense pain.

Ximen Qing’s evil smile grew a fraction more wicked, malevolently using the Great Dao of Li Huo to scorch Xia Feng repeatedly.

He only saw Xia Feng previously using the Great Dao of Space and Great Dao of Extreme Ice, along with holding the Heaven-Burying Sword, surely mastering some Great Dao of Celestial Sword.

Ximen Qing never believed that a mere Martial God could master so many Great Daos.

Especially since Xia Feng had used such a powerful Great Dao of Extreme Ice to kill so many people before.

Ximen Qing sneered coldly, "I’ve said it, this isn’t yours; coveting it too much will only harm you."

The Great Dao of Li Huo continuously burned Xia Feng’s body, while Xia Feng exaggeratedly rolled in the fire, seeming to be on the brink of being burned to ashes.

The Golden Crow Armor urged Xia Feng repeatedly, as if asking whether it could devour the Li Huo.

Xia Feng clicked his tongue lightly, initially intending to lure Ximen Qing closer to him, then directly using the Heaven-Burying Sword to kill him.

As it turned out, this fellow, though greedy, seemed rather cautious.

Nevertheless, keeping him alive might still serve a purpose; the Golden Crow Armor appeared indiscriminate towards all Great Dao of Li Huo.

Later on, capturing him might provide a supply of Li Huo faster than Xia Feng could feed the Golden Crow Armor himself.

With a slight nudge from his fingers through his clothes, Xia Feng saw the Golden Crow Armor instantly devour all the Li Huo on him.

Ximen Qing was startled at first, suddenly guarded as if facing an enemy.

But seeing Xia Feng’s appearance of unconsciousness, hanging mid-air, it seemed the Li Huo was devoured by the secret treasure on him?

Ximen Qing sized up Xia Feng, appearing to search for the treasure’s exact location, only to see Xia Feng’s body inexplicably drawing closer to him.

The surrounding Four Clans Disciples looked at Ximen Qing with a mix of envy and jealousy but dared not interrupt his actions.

From Ximen Qing’s palm, the Great Dao of Li Huo continuously flowed out, his smile even appearing lecherous.

"Little darling, come here; no one else can give you what you want..."

"Come to me, and I can offer you Li Huo; you can devour as much as you like."

Though the Golden Crow Armor possessed some spirituality, it was primarily guided by instinctive pursuit of fire.

In reality, it couldn’t understand Ximen Qing’s words; if it could genuinely comprehend like a Sword Spirit, it might have flicked him away with a wing from a Three-legged Golden Crow.

However, truth be told, Ximen Qing had indeed invested a great deal.

He worried that the Upper Grade Secret Treasure and Xia Feng might already have a bit of a contractual bond, hence causing no harm to Xia Feng, merely feeding more Li Huo to the Golden Crow Armor.

Seemingly accepting all comers, the Golden Crow Armor devoured all fire available.

Only after Ximen Qing realized, he had already fed more than half of his Great Dao of Li Huo to the Golden Crow Armor.

The treasure still seemed unsatisfied, continuing to drag Xia Feng’s body closer to him.

Ximen Qing’s expression turned cautious, no longer feeding, instead speaking to Nangong Lian beside him.

"Go kill this boy."

Nangong Lian shivered, instinctively retorting, "But his treasure, won’t my Great Dao of Water anger it?"

Ximen Qing sneered coldly, "Whether you anger it or not, the treasure won’t choose you as master."

"If you obediently comply, I can leave you a way out."

"If you stubbornly refuse..."

His eyes narrowed slightly, clearly displeased by Nangong Lian’s refusal.

Nangong Lian trembled, her lips quivering as she replied, "Alright, I understand."

From her sleeve, she extracted a water blue Treasure Pearl, then, with a spray of mist inside, it expanded, forming a water arrow aimed directly at Xia Feng’s body.

Suddenly, as if someone sighed in heaven and earth, Xia Feng’s eyes snapped open, lunging towards the water arrow.

Seeing Xia Feng’s posture, Ximen Qing realized he had been played.

His face bore a hint of ferocity, attacking Xia Feng from behind abruptly.

Facing both front and rear assaults, Xia Feng remained undeterred, laughing as he drew the Heaven-Burying Sword and thrust it towards Nangong Lian.

Nangong Lian shrieked, quickly retreating, her Treasure Pearl frenetically shooting water arrows towards Xia Feng.

Struggling, she shouted to those behind her, "Quickly, join in attacking him!"

Nangong Lian had once been grazed by Xia Feng’s Thousand-Mile Ice Seal; she never wanted to experience such a dire feeling again.

Ximen Qing enraged, "Nangong Lian! Stop him!"

Nangong Lian’s expression struggled for a moment; turning, she seemed to want to gather another powerful attack with her Treasure Pearl.

But facing Xia Feng’s visage alone, she lost all courage, ultimately shattering the Treasure Pearl Divine Artifact before everyone, transforming into a water mist to escape once again.

Xia Feng brushed off the mist lingering on him, his expression carrying a bit of bewilderment.

Why would this woman, so frightened, return to provoke him?
