Volume 1: Life is Like First Love Chapter 125: Gentle Breeze, Xu Something Arrived!
"This guy is so sinister! But what makes him so certain that I can help him? I've only met him once, and that was in the wine cellar on that deep night."
"And how did he know that I was in this rainforest, and after escaping here, he calculated the character of Xuan Lun, and must have led me out."
"He must have also calculated that I wouldn't participate in this matter, either by choosing not to move or by choosing to leave. Therefore, after he sensed that I wanted to distance myself from the affair, he spoke these words!"
"If it's said that these are just coincidences, then it's not impossible, but this coincidence is a bit too realistic!"
"He's trying to use me to divert the attention of the Mystic Wheel. He has determined that I can resist, and calculated that I only have two options: one is to destroy the incoming Black Fog Ghost Face, and then join forces with it to fight against the Mystic Wheel in order to protect myself and avoid future trouble; or even if I were to help the Mystic Wheel out of goodwill, this Wind will definitely have a follow-up plan, which will achieve its sinister goal."
The second option is to resist the ghost face and choose to leave hastily again, which would confirm his previous words and leave me with great hidden dangers, making it even more likely that Xuan Lun will be distracted again, or perhaps even have a way to change his mind and come after me.
Furthermore, the sudden arrival of the storm in the rainforest caught me off guard, and at the moment when Xuan Lun made his move, I dispersed the Moon Wing's oppressive aura to intimidate him. Although I dodged that one finger, I ended up pushing myself into He Feng's sinister trap. In this case, even if I pretended to be defeated, Xuan Lun would not believe it.
"This is a dead end! He Feng, I have no grudges against you, why do you harm me for self-preservation? No wonder Grandfather had told me many times that human hearts are treacherous!" Su Ming deeply realized this point for the first time. He had thought that as long as he didn't show any hostile intentions, he could avoid some things and keep himself safe. But now, He Feng's actions had told Su Ming that sometimes, even if you don't show any hostility, even if you're strangers, other reasons can still lead to death.
Compared with He Feng, Su Ming is still too tender, although he has some heart, but he has only experienced the brutal tribe, the rebellion of Shanhe, and has not experienced such human evil.
In fact, before this matter, Su Ming had also sympathized with He Feng in his heart.
"Everything, it's all because I'm too weak. If I became strong, would this wind dare to use such vicious tactics!" These thoughts flashed through Su Ming's mind in the instant that the black fog ghost face appeared. At this critical moment, Su Ming was forced to exert his full mental faculties, which had nothing to do with his cultivation. The solution to this predicament required his reaction force.
"War, can't win, will be exploited. Escape, can't escape, will be hunted down... Defeat and death, unless it's real death, no one will believe... And the gentle breeze, all three paths you have blocked for me, then let me Su Ming, break through a fourth path!" Su Ming's eyes flashed, almost at the moment when the black fog ghost face was about to scream, Su Ming's right hand suddenly raised, and in his hand, that bone knife appeared.
His body did not retreat, but instead took a step forward. As his foot landed, the bright moon in the sky suddenly lit up, and the moonlight enveloped Su Ming's entire body. In an instant, it transformed into a flame that made Su Ming seem like he was burning all over as he moved forward, creating a sea of fire.
One sword went straight to the black fog ghost face and suddenly disappeared, and at the moment this sword fell, the moon wing soul outside Su Ming's body appeared, shrouding his body, making Su Ming's body tread on empty air, no one could see it. At this moment, under Su Ming's feet, there was a moon wing soul, and around his body, there were also many moon wing souls.
His knife and the ghostly face mist touched for an instant, with a loud crash, Su Ming spat out blood, his body stumbled backward, the bone knife in his hand shattered directly, turning into a large number of fragments scattered everywhere. The intangible moon wing soul outside his body all shook once, but did not disperse, instead re-condensing on Su Ming's body.
That foggy ghost face, after Su Ming's blood-spitting retreat, let out an ear-piercing shriek, as if torn apart by a fierce wind, and dispersed into wisps of fog.
"Brother He Feng, hurry up! Xu Xian was previously ashamed, but now he's been awakened and will risk his life to hold off the Mystic Wheel for you!" Su Ming's words were transmitted as his body suddenly charged forward, with Moon Wing surrounding him, rushing towards the depths of the rainforest where the battle was taking place.
He Feng, who was fighting with Xuan Lun, furrowed his brow upon hearing this, but at this critical moment, he didn't have time to think much. He saw Xuan Lun coldly smile and somehow dispel half of the black fog surrounding him, which then rushed straight towards Su Ming.
Half of the fog inside had a mournful howl, and in mid-air it turned into countless strands of fog like dead men's hair, entwining and spreading out, suddenly enveloping Su Ming in front like a strangulation.
The mist was like a dense rain, and because of the dark sky, it was hard to see clearly, only seeing the countless misty threads entwining each other, enveloping the world. Suddenly, with one contraction, Su Ming was enveloped inside, his appearance somewhat similar to Bi Tu's green silk worm.
A loud rumbling sound suddenly echoed, and the large amount of mist suddenly contracted, completely covering Su Ming's body. Under continuous condensation, a sudden formation appeared like a hairball.
This object is several meters in size, with countless silk threads wrapped around it, sealed tightly and not revealing even a hint of what's inside. Only a faint, mournful cry can be heard coming from within, the voice belonging to Su Ming.
Fresh blood dripped from under the hair clump, although not much, but still looked shocking.
This scene made He Feng's heart skip a beat, and he hastily retreated. Xuan Lun coldly sneered and approached, his right hand raised to point at the hairpin.
"No matter if he is your companion or not, the hair that was planted by me has already..." Before Xuan Lun could finish speaking, the floating hair mass in the sky dispersed with a flick of his finger.
What made Xuan Lun stunned was that when the hair bundle opened, there was no Su Ming's figure inside, only a vast emptiness, with only a small amount of fresh blood existing, dripping down as the hair bundle opened.
Even He Feng was stunned.
In the blink of an eye, Su Ming disappeared without a trace, leaving no signs or clues behind, as if he had vanished into thin air. It was clear that he had used some special method to escape far away from this place. The suddenness of his disappearance left the battlefield in an eerie silence.
Kazefumi's expression changed, his mind lost its judgment, but immediately afterwards, he revealed a profound and mysterious smile. His body swayed, just about to escape, when Xuanlun was furious, suddenly turned around and rushed towards Kazefumi.
A deafening roar echoed, and after a long time, a mournful howl was heard. He Feng's body sprayed out fresh blood, his whole body shrouded in a bloody mist, his face deathly pale, as if he were about to die. With a loud crash, he fell to the ground. In the instant he landed, his entire body suddenly flashed with a dazzling light, which was so piercing that it made Xuan Lun's eyes narrow.
At this moment, however, in the midst of that intense light, He Feng's entire being seemed to be burning with a fierce energy, and he suddenly burst forth, transforming into a radiant sun that illuminated the dark night. His speed increased exponentially, leaving even Xuan Lun astonished by his velocity as he shot off into the distance. Xuan Lun's expression changed, and he raised his right hand, pointing at several spots on his body before taking off in hot pursuit. In no time, the two long rainbows that were He Feng and Xuan Lun disappeared over the horizon, vanishing from sight.
Time slowly passed, and half a time later, in the midst of the silent surroundings, in this lower part of the rainforest shrouded in miasma, a hand stretched out from a lump of mud. The hand was dry and withered, like a dead man's claw, and as it struggled, a figure emerged.
This figure had no hair, its face was completely sunken in, looking like a skeleton, with dullness in both eyes. After struggling to crawl out, it seemed to have used all its strength and began to pant.
In his gasps, he was constantly spitting out fresh blood from the corner of his mouth, and the color of that blood was darkening, with a strong fishy smell.
"Xuan Lun, you can't imagine that I and Feng still have a trump card. For your pursuit of killing me, I've made the most thorough preparations. Although it's a waste, even Han Fei Zi doesn't know about this substitute puppet, using this thing has cost me a lot of blood and life, but as long as I'm still alive, everything is fine. You will definitely die at my hands! Father, mother, and our clansmen, I will avenge you!!" That withered person was actually He Feng, he didn't die!
"Unfortunately, that mysterious young man somehow managed to escape from here. Otherwise, my plan would have been even more perfect and I wouldn't be so weak now."
I need to recover as soon as possible at the speed of that substitute puppet, it will take several days for Xuan Lun to catch up, and by the time he discovers something is wrong and returns, there won't be enough time for me.
But I also benefited from the disaster, and unexpectedly broke through the coagulation. Han Feizi's method was indeed effective. If one doesn't pursue the ultimate perfection of bloodlines, or seek more than 950, then in a crisis, after being pushed to the brink of death, there is a chance to break through successfully.
"Now that my cultivation has recovered a bit, I can finally draw my own totem. With Han Fei's help, I've finally met the qualifications to become an outer member of the Sixteen Dark Soul Clan." He took a deep breath, unable to move his body too much at this moment, almost weak to the extreme. If it weren't for the slow recovery of his cultivation in the muddy water and worrying that if he delayed any longer, Xuan Lun would come back and discover him, he wouldn't have struggled out. Now, all he could do was lie there, slowly healing his wounds.
"I need three days!" And Feng's right hand lifted with difficulty, slowly reaching into his bosom. A light flashed from within, and a small bottle was taken out by him. The small bottle was entirely white, almost transparent, and one could faintly see that there were some ** inside.
Just as he was about to bite off the cork of the small bottle with his teeth, He Feng's body suddenly stiffened, and he became motionless, like a statue. His sweat hairs stood on end, and a strong sense of crisis suddenly descended upon him, bringing this sense of danger and making his heart panic was a cold and detached voice, as chilly as the wind.
"Harsh words, Mr. Xu has arrived, take what you said as repayment."
In the midst of the whirlwind's shock, he saw a figure slowly approaching from within the rainforest not far away. The figure exuded an aura of coldness, like ice that refused to melt. As it drew near, a wave of pressure spread out.
It's Su Ming! ——
I know I haven't been updating diligently, and I'm too embarrassed to ask for monthly tickets. As the middle of the month approaches, my ears are itching and I might burst out anytime soon, so I'll ask for monthly tickets in advance to boost my morale!
This one, don't buy too many monthly tickets, 50 is fine, otherwise I'll be embarrassed and ashamed, and then I'll have to work hard again...
