The Villain's Face Slapping Counterattack-Chapter 92.3

Chapter 92.3

Face-slapping the fox demon and the righteous monk (10)

Editor: Aaghna

After his first experience, Feng Yanyi asked Xia Qing to act as his cultivation furnace every single day, and Xia Qing never refused. Instead, she seemed as if she looked forward to it every time, which made Feng Yanyi feel happy and proud.

Ever since Feng Yanyi had been defeated by Jiang Feng, he’d been desperately trying to become strong enough to win against Jiang Feng. He started working harder and gathered as much cultivation as possible.

Xia Qing was secretly taking advantage of this as her Gu Worm was too weak. After all, she had died once. It was already a miracle that the previous Gu Worm resurrected, so she had to take good care of this one.

Before, she had fed this Gu Worm herself, but now, she could only rely on Feng Yanyi’s spiritual energy to feed it.

In fact, Xia Qing hadn’t spent much effort on this one while feeding her Gu Worms, because she hadn’t intended on using this worm, but now, she was trying her best to make it grow bigger so that when it was being used, it would be more powerful.

Feng Yanyi already had a thousand years of cultivation, and it was currently too weak, so it might not be enough to kill him.

Zhou Xu was indeed relaxed in this world. Basically, he didn’t even need to care about the two main characters. The two of them could fight to the death against each other. Therefore, Zhou Xu, having nothing to do, took Jiang Feng to the human world again.

The arched bridges in the east, the moon in the west, the shrimp dumplings in the south, and the spring cakes in the north. They went to a variety of places and as for cultivation, Zhou Xu didn’t bother with it. Jiang Feng stopped caring too after seeing Zhou Xu not care about it.

Why bother to live such a long life or ascend to the heavens as an immortal? It would be better to live a happy life with your lover.

In this fashion, the two of them toured both the human and the demon worlds. Three years later, they met Feng Yanyi again.

This time, Feng Yanyi had come for Jiang Feng.

After Jiang Feng saw Feng Yanyi, he knew that this time, Feng Yanyi wouldn’t be defeated so easily, but he wasn’t afraid either. In fact, he never even knew what it was like to be afraid.

In the past three years, Feng Yanyi got at least fifty years’ worth of cultivation. Every day, he absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth refined using Xia Qing.

The loss three years ago kept Feng Yanyi very upset. So, after hearing that Jiang Feng had gone to a certain town, he decided to challenge him again. This time, he swore to make Jiang Feng kneel and beg for mercy.

“Long time no see, Brother Jiang. You look quite well.”

“Same goes for you.”

Zhou Xu naturally felt the killing intent coming from Jiang Feng. So, he turned his gaze slightly to look at Xia Qing, who was behind Feng Yanyi.

Xia Qing glanced at Zhou Xu, and Zhou Xu understood what Xia Qing meant. It seemed that her third Gu Worm had returned to life.

Zhou Xu knew about Xia Qing’s Gu Worms. Because three years ago when Feng Yanyi was fighting with Jiang Feng, Xia Qing’s heart was like ashes. Zhou Xu pressed on the third point behind her neck, and that was where she raised the third Gu Worm.

The Gu Worm may have died, but if a large amount of spiritual power was suddenly given to it, it was possible for it to be revived. When Zhou Xu pressed on it, she stimulated the Gu Worm.

Unexpectedly, the Gu Worm was activated by Zhou Xu.

In the past three years, she has been feeding this Gu Worm day and night just for this moment.

The more spiritual power Feng Yanyi used, the greater the effect Xia Qing’s Gu Worm would have. Because most of the spiritual energy she absorbed was obtained from Feng Yanyi. And this Gu Worm was called the Marrow Stealing Gu.

The meaning of Marrow Stealing Gu was that while it was growing, it would absorb the spiritual energy of its feeder. When the feeder exploded him/herself, it would exert a tremendous amount of power.

Basically, if Xia Qing chose to explode herself, then any human or demon within thirty meters of her would die. It was just like a “kamikaze” attack: enough to injure hundreds or even thousands but at the cost of your own life.

However, in order for this self-destructive method to work, a fuse was required. But with her Demon Bone gone, she couldn’t use any cultivation to destroy where her Dantian used to be.

In fact, blowing oneself up was actually the explosion of the Dantian area. So when Xia Qing looked at Zhou Xu, there was a little bit of gratitude in her eyes.

The reason Zhou Xu agreed to help Xia Qing was that she herself hadn’t done anything wrong. It was only because she was born this way.

When destroying Xia Qing’s Dantian, Zhou Xu must ensure that he and Jiang Feng could get away fast enough. So this process was still very risky.

Another important factor with the Marrow Stealing Gu was that when one was exploding, it would track a person according to the killing intent of its owner. In other words, as long as the targeted person doesn’t die, the Marrow Stealing Gu wouldn’t die either.

Speaking of it, the three Gu Worms Xia Qing had raised were all more powerful than the previous ones.

Let alone the Tenfold Gu, the Marrow Stealing Gu basically kills the person as long as that person is the intended target.

Jiang Feng and Feng Yanyi were still very polite as they talked to each other. In the end, they even agreed that there were too many people so the two of them flew to a distant foothill to prevent unnecessary casualties.

Zhou Xu admired these two. He and Xia Qing didn’t need to do anything.

Feng Yanyi said softly, “Brother Jiang, please give me some pointers.” With that, he flew forward.

The dazzling light made the dense forest a lot brighter, but Jiang Feng just simply tossed out a spell. After the spell touched the light Feng Yanyi was giving off, the talisman on top burst into red rays of light. Those rays of light were like blades cutting Feng Yanyi’s attack into tiny pieces.

Those pieces were like a dandelion blown by the wind and scattered in the forest.

The scene was as beautiful as seeing countless fireflies at night. However, the creators of this beautiful scene were actually fighting to the death.

After Feng Yanyi’s initial attack failed, he was not worried, because he was very confident now. With his current amount of cultivation, he could beat Jiang Feng.

He withdrew his sword and started to attack fiercely. The glaring light from the tip of his sword was full of killing intent. That was something Zhou Xu could only feel from the evilest people in the world. Zhou Xu felt that if Xia Qing wasn’t here, then Feng Yanyi would definitely start magic cultivation. Because this person was way too cruel.

At this moment, Zhou Xu has been standing with Xia Qing again. And just like last time, Jiang Feng set up a protective barrier for them. This barrier could only be opened by Zhou Xu and Jiang Feng. Unless a person has much higher cultivation than them, it was impossible to break through it.

“When do you want me to help you use the Marrow Stealing Gu?” asked Zhou Xu while looking at Xia Qing.

Xia Qing looked at Feng Yanyi and also clearly felt his killing intent. She had never seen Feng Yanyi like this before. Or, she thought to herself, maybe what she saw was only what Feng Yanyi wanted her to see. Nothing more.

The so-called trust could not last if only one person had it. Otherwise, if you love deeply, the one who loves deeper would be the one who is hurt and leaves. If the love isn’t deep, then the ending would inevitably be bad.

“Wait a minute. I have to wait for Feng Yanyi to exert his power to the maximum before I can kill him.”

Zhou Xu nodded and continued to look at Jiang Feng and Feng Yanyi’s fight.

Feng Yanyi’s swords charged at Jiang Feng with immense power. The attacks and moves released a huge tai-chi like purple symbol in the sky. Wherever the big circle touched, trees and any living animal would die. And that big tai-chi circle was flying directly toward Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng quickly backed away, but the circle seemed to have eyes and chased after Jiang Feng.

Feng Yanyi was behind the circle, controlling it by pointing at it with his sword the whole time. While he was controlling it, his forehead started to sweat. It didn’t seem to be a very easy task.

Even so, Zhou Xu knew that he was still saving some strength. And so, Xia Qing couldn’t make her move, as the Marrow Stealing Gu wouldn’t be as effective.

Zhou Xu could only continue to wait as Jiang Feng was flying all over the air and Feng Yanyi’s Sword of Life controlled the circle.

From the look of it, it seemed that Jiang Feng was being very passive, since he had been dodging and running away the whole time, and Feng Yanyi was chasing after him, but Zhou Xu knew that he was actually provoking Feng Yanyi. As for the circle, Jiang Feng could easily break through it.

When Jiang Feng was fighting against Feng Yanyi the last time, he already learned that he was easily angered, especially when fighting, so Jiang Feng currently was testing Feng Yanyi’s patience. Once his patience was used up, he would release much more energy and stronger attacks. When that happens, Jiang Feng was already prepared on how to deal with it.

In fact, since the last time he fought Feng Yanyi, Jiang Feng already knew that he would definitely come back to look for him. And by that time, Feng Yanyi would have progressed a lot and also made a lot of preparations. So Jiang Feng couldn’t go easy on him either. If it were just him, then he wouldn’t care as much, but now he also has Zhou Xu.

Whenever thinking of this, Jiang Feng’s heart would be full of warmth. He never knew what love was like before, but ever since he met Zhou Xu, it always felt like the days were too short – so short that every day seemed to disappear in an instant.

However, before he was with Zhou Xu, every single day felt way too long. He had to try hard to get through every day. His method of killing time was to sleep because only then did he feel like time could pass a little bit faster.

He glanced at Zhou Xu and his lips twitched slightly. When he turned his head to look back at Feng Yanyi, all the gentleness in his eyes was replaced by coldness.

Feng Yanyi’s face became even darker. The look made Xia Qing even more aware that she trusted the wrong person. That look also warned Jiang Feng that Feng Yanyi was about to burst into anger.

Jiang Feng’s Sword of Life also flew out from behind him. While he was swiftly dodging Feng Yanyi’s attacks, he was also casting a spell.

The sword that appeared was carrying a faint blue light and under Jiang Feng’s control, it started to draw a circle in the air.

After biting open his finger, Jiang Feng dropped a drop of blood in the center of the circle. The blood instantly scattered hundreds of red lines towards the blue sky. In an instant, the sky looked incomparably beautiful.

After placing the central blood, Jiang Feng quickly backed up a hundred meters as Feng Yanyi’s Tai-Chi circle ran into Jiang Feng’s blood circle.

Boom!

All the creatures in the forest were frightened. The beasts hid, and the birds flew away. In the blink of an eye, the whole forest fell silent. So silent that one could even hear a needle falling onto the ground.

After opening their eyes, Feng Yanyi and Jiang Feng were still standing in the air, staring at each other with hostile looks.

After a second or two, Feng Yanyi finally started to unleash his ultimate attack.

While chanting the spell, the sword in his hand had already begun to transform. After two seconds, the sword suddenly turned into a tiger. The roar seemed as if it could swallow half of the sky.

Zhou Xu was really surprised this time. He didn’t expect Feng Yanyi to be able to sign a contract with the ancient divine beast. This was not something that could be done easily.

This kind of contract was very dangerous, and if he was not careful, he could get himself swallowed by the beast.

Just when Zhou Xu was still shocked, Jiang Feng had already used the same attack as Feng Yanyi: chanting the spell as the sword transformed.

After the sword finished transforming, even Feng Yanyi was shocked. Because the beast that Jiang Feng unleashed was a dragon!

The dragon obviously didn’t even seem to care about the little tiger in front of him. Because when it opened its mouth, Feng Yanyi’s tiger laid down and lowered its head.

“Now!”

“Okay.”

Zhou Xu and Xia Qing were so surprised that they even forgot about the Marrow Stealing Gu. Zhou Xu was the first to come back to his senses, and he patted on Xia Qing’s Dantian area.

The vibration from the Dantian brought Zhou Xu’s spiritual energy into Xia Qing’s body, and finally, the Marrow Stealing Gu started to move.

“Quick, get on there.” Zhou Xu quickly folded a paper crane and the crane immediately turned into one that was big enough to carry people.

Xia Qing got onto the crane and Zhou Xu opened the barrier made by Jiang Feng as the crane flew close.

Zhou Xu also flew up and got beside Jiang Feng. He grabbed onto Jiang Feng and tried to fly as far as possible, but Feng Yanyi seemed to have gone insane and was only going after Jiang Feng.

Xia Qing was also trying to chase up to Feng Yanyi, but Feng Yanyi didn’t seem to notice Xia Qing at all.

This made Xia Qing even more determined. She must kill Feng Yanyi herself. Either way, she would die, so she was not afraid of anything.

From the crane’s back, Xia Qing directly jumped onto Feng Yanyi.

Feng Yanyi’s back sank as Xia Qing landed on him.

Seeing that Zhou Xu and Jiang Feng were getting further and further away, he turned his head, gritted his teeth, and tried to pull Xia Qing away from him. However, Xia Qing did not let go. She just looked at Feng Yanyi with tears and said nothing.

Feng Yanyi was stunned for a moment when he looked at her, but soon after, he immediately wanted to go find Jiang Feng again.

Her tears finally fell. Xia Qing knew that the Marrow Stealing Gu was about to take effect.

“What are you doing?” Feng Yanyi finally asked angrily.

“I love you,” said Xia Qing.

Feng Yanyi tried to reply patiently, “I like you too, Xia Qing. After I win, I’ll come back to you. Now please let go.”

“No.”

“Let go!”

“No.”

Feng Yanyi forcefully broke free from Xia Qing’s hand and at the same time, placed Xia Qing on a branch, but at that moment, the Marrow Stealing Gu exploded. No, it was more like the Marrow Stealing Gu caused Xia Qing to explode.

Boom! A loud noise resonated through the sky!

Xia Qing disappeared, yet Feng Yanyi was still alive. Although his mouth was full of blood, he managed to escape.

Leaning against a big tree, Feng Yanyi wanted to take a break, but while he was not paying attention, something seemed to have entered his body. After a few seconds, Feng Yanyi was suddenly brought into an illusion. In the illusion, he and Xia Qing lived happily together, with no lies and no hatred.

The illusion disappeared as Feng Yanyi dumbfoundedly stood there. He suddenly found out that his Dantian felt like it was shredded into pieces by something.

Boom! There was another loud explosion. This time, it was Feng Yanyi who blew up.

Yes, Feng Yanyi didn’t know that the Marrow Stealing Gu would follow its target. Xia Qing was determined to bring Feng Yanyi down with her.

After hearing the two loud noises, Zhou Xu and Jiang Feng could only sigh lightly.

Zhou Xu and Jiang Feng could not live for thousands of years as they longed for, because Jiang Feng’s contract with the dragon would decrease his life significantly.

The moment before Jiang Feng died, Zhou Xu said while holding his hand, “I’ll be with you, and I love you.”

Zhou Xu had lived very happily. He was satisfied.
