Chapter 224: Chapter 224: Besieging Feng Youming

"So it really is you!"

Feng Youming’s eyes narrowed. His suspicions were finally confirmed.

This woman had given him an unsettling feeling ever since they first met. Her appearing here now didn’t seem all that surprising.

But standing beside Song Wanning were three other Divinity Transformation cultivators.

At that moment, Feng Youming’s heart clenched.

No matter how much he looked down on the Human Clan from the outside world, these were four genuine Divinity Transformation cultivators. How could he possibly be a match for them alone?

"What is the meaning of this?"

Feng Youming played dumb while trying to send a message to his Clan Leader, but the Array blocked his attempts.

His expression changed again as a sense of impending doom washed over him.

"Feng Youming, are you still going to play dumb at a time like this?"

Song Wanning’s expression was icy, a cold smirk playing on her lips. The name she spoke made Feng Youming shudder once more.

"How do you know my name?"

’Who on earth is this woman?’

His hand gripping the long spear grew clammy with sweat, and his heart began to beat in a frantic rhythm.

"I not only know your name, but I also know why you’re here. Watching you run around the city like a dancing clown these past few days has been truly amusing."

As she spoke, Song Wanning covered her mouth and chuckled lightly.

The sight of it made Feng Youming’s chest tighten with rage.

’This damned woman! How dare she play me for a fool?’

He originally thought his plan was flawless and that he had Song Wanning wrapped around his little finger. Who would have thought he was the real fool?

The mere thought of himself running all over the place to cover his tracks made him want to vomit blood.

’It’s too humiliating.’

In all his life, he, Feng Youming, had never been so humiliated!

’And what’s more, has our secret been exposed?’

How could Song Wanning possibly know his name and about the Dragon Vein?

A myriad of questions converged in his mind, and Feng Youming grew increasingly agitated.

But he quickly calmed down. ’This woman is just trying to provoke me. I won’t give her the satisfaction.’

"You are clever, I’ll give you that. But so what? Your Song Family is doomed to a dead end."

"If you know what’s good for you, you’ll submit to our Feng Family and hand over your clan’s lands. Do that, and I can plead with the Clan Leader to spare the Song Family!"

Feng Youming’s gaze was dark. Deep down, he still looked down on the Human Clan from the outside world.

Not to mention the Song Family, who had no foundation to speak of.

The disdain in his eyes did not escape the notice of the four, and Song Huai laughed in anger.

’What kind of weirdo is this? He’s surrounded, yet he’s still acting so high and mighty.’

"Enough wasting words on him. Just kill him."

With a sharp cry, he charged directly into the Array.

Song Qingyun and Mu Yuan followed close behind, attacking Feng Youming one after another the moment they entered the Array.

Feng Youming’s expression turned vicious. He spat on the ground and began to fight back.

He was panicking inside, but he had his pride. He would never allow himself to beg for mercy or admit defeat.

Song Wanning stood outside the Array, a sinister smile playing on her lips.

Yu Cheng, hiding by the valley, shivered for some reason. ’That smile... It’s just like the one she had when she used Ye Chuxue to block the Heavenly Thunder...’

’Also, who is that Feng Youming?’

’To provoke four of the Song Family’s Divinity Transformation cultivators to attack at once... he’s a dead man!’

Yu Cheng silently drew his hands back. ’I’m not qualified to participate in these battles. I should just focus on maintaining the Array.’

’This is a rare chance to repay my debt. I can’t mess it up.’

Inside the Array, the battle between them raged violently. Song Huai was a Peak of Divinity Transformation Cultivator, and his full-powered attacks were world-shaking.

Although Mu Yuan and Song Qingyun were newly promoted Divinity Transformation cultivators, their strength was not to be underestimated, especially with the three of them fighting Feng Youming at the same time.

After just a few exchanges, Feng Youming was already at a disadvantage.

This made him even more anxious. He fought back while trying once again to contact his Clan Leader.

Song Huai snorted coldly and swung his Meteor Hammer with force. A howling wolf-hawk suddenly materialized.

It opened its sharp eyes wide and shot toward Feng Youming.

The Communication Talisman that had just flown out was devoured by the wolf-hawk before it could even reach the Array’s border.

The wolf-hawk then spat it back out, but this time, a jet of scorching flame erupted, instantly burning off half of the hair of Feng Youming, who couldn’t dodge in time.

Just then, Song Qingyun and Mu Yuan’s attacks came again. Feng Youming had no time to check the damage and swung his long spear to meet them.

At the same time, with a frantic look, his left hand formed a seal. He muttered some unknown Spell, and in an instant, countless whirlwinds rose around him, raging like a spatial storm and enveloping him completely.

He possessed a mutated wind-attribute Spirit Root and was considered one of the best in his clan in the art of wind manipulation.

"Go!"

Following his soft shout, countless hurricanes surged toward the three attackers.

The wildly overflowing Spiritual Energy was quickly swept up, and the entire area inside the Array descended into chaos.

Song Wanning’s brow furrowed slightly. ’Thankfully, the Array is containing this. Otherwise, such a huge commotion would have attracted others by now.’

’The matter of the Spirit Vein would also be more easily exposed.’

Her expression darkened. With a flash, she instantly entered the Array.

The moment she appeared, she unleashed a veritable storm of arrows. Countless Spiritual Energy Long Swords erupted like fireworks, assailing Feng Youming from every conceivable tricky angle.

At the same time, her Divine Nether Profound Fire flew out, and the Golden Small Sword transformed into a dragon, pouncing toward him.

Overwhelmed by the simultaneous, multi-pronged assault, Feng Youming’s eyes twitched. Gritting his teeth, he took out a peacock feather.

He waved it forcefully, and a seven-colored divine light appeared.

With a single flash, the divine light absorbed all the attacking Spiritual Energy Long Swords, which vanished without a trace.

The attacks from the others met the same fate, vanishing like stones sinking into the sea.

But the Divine Nether Profound Fire was already close. Feng Youming suddenly felt a sharp pain in his Divine Soul. He hissed softly and frowned.

His eyes darted, and his gaze, fixed on the Divine Nether Profound Fire, became frighteningly bright. It was clear he had been moved by greed.

’It’s actually the Divine Nether Profound Fire! How can such a precious Abnormal Fire be in that woman’s possession?!’

But the thought lasted only an instant. He was having trouble just protecting himself, let alone trying to seize the Abnormal Fire.

In the next moment, Song Huai’s attack arrived once again.

Just as Feng Youming was about to counterattack, a Tai Chi Diagram shimmering with black and white light abruptly appeared.

The ring of light was incredibly fast as it shot toward him.

He brandished the peacock feather, intending to absorb the diagram’s energy, while simultaneously swinging his long spear to meet Song Huai’s attack.

In the blink of an eye...

The Tai Chi Diagram zipped straight through the peacock feather and slammed into Feng Youming.

The next moment, Feng Youming found himself completely immobilized by a strange force. It felt as if someone was forcibly pressing down on him, demanding his submission and forcing him to bow his head.

At the same time, Song Huai’s attack was right in his face.

"THUD—"

Unable to withstand it, he fell directly to his knees.

At that moment, Mu Yuan, wielding a great saber, swung down at his head.

Feng Youming’s eyes looked ready to split with fury. He struggled with all his might and, in a panic, rolled to the side.

The great saber lopped off his lower leg. The bloody limb rolled in the dirt, becoming covered in dust.

Gritting his teeth, he flew backward in retreat and hastily shoved an Elixir Pill into his mouth. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

By now, his entire body was covered in wounds.
