After Defying the Villain's Fate for Nine Lifetimes, the Heroines Turn Mad! - Chapter 299

Chapter 299: Pits!

Another month passed by.

About three thousand li away from the Ancient Pill Tower, Lin Feng was walking with his hands clasped behind his back, treading on saber qi.

He left the Mysterious Ice Realm ahead of the other cultivators and could have returned to his sect earlier, but he had been very cautious and chose to travel on foot due to concerns about encountering madmen.

Now, he changed his usual approach and chose to ride the saber through the air because he had learned of the Empress’s decree.

He felt that his time to rise had come!

The Empress’s decree stated that cultivators of the Divine Passage realm and above could not interfere in worldly affairs, which meant what?

It meant he was invincible!

First, his own strength was not weak, and he felt that as long as he didn’t encounter Jiang Chen, he could easily overpower anyone in his path.

Secondly, unlike Jiang Chen’s protector, Old Man Tianji was not affected by the Empress’s decree.

With him behind, his strength could match that of the Divine Passage realm if his soul power was abundant!

Wasn’t this invincibility?

“This is indeed an opportunity. I feel that the Alchemy Conference in a month’s time and even the Grand Sect Competition after that are stages prepared by the heavens for your rise!” Old Man Tianji also expressed his full agreement.

“However, for now, we should hurry back to the Ancient Pill Tower and find some pills to replenish my soul power,” he added.

Lin Feng nodded, agreeing completely.

Old Man Tianji had helped him with divination multiple times on their trip to the Mysterious Ice Realm, which had consumed a lot of his soul power.

Now, the remaining soul power was not even enough to protect him.

For safety’s sake, he should indeed return to the Ancient Pill Tower as soon as possible to find a way to get some pills to replenish his soul power.

However, Lin Feng was troubled.

“This time, many of my fellow sect members and I went to the Mysterious Ice Realm, but only I have returned. This will be difficult to explain to the Tower Master!”

“What’s there to fear?” Old Man Tianji scoffed.

“That Tower Master girl doesn’t have real power, isn’t the entire Ancient Pill Tower under your Master’s control?”

“You don’t understand! A woman’s heart is the most poisonous!” Lin Feng shook his head gravely.

“Every time I see that Tower Master, I get goosebumps! There’s definitely something wrong.”

“This…”

Old Man Tianji was at a loss for words.

He had never imagined that Lin Feng would be so fearful of beautiful women to such an extent.

And he certainly didn’t expect that Lin Feng, who once needed constant reminders to be wary of women, was now lamenting ‘a woman’s heart is the most poisonous’ on his own!

But perhaps this was for the best.

Lin Feng practiced the Heartless Way of the Saber, and indeed, women could only affect the speed of his sword draw.

“Kid, you’ve grown up…” Old Man Tianji sighed.

Lin Feng ignored him and was about to say something else when his pupils suddenly shrank.

He had only glanced below for a moment and saw… Pits!

Numerous densely packed pits stretching for several li.

“…Gulp”

Lin Feng swallowed hard, sensing an ominous premonition.

Such deep pits… they reminded him of the scene where Qingning buried people alive!

“Be careful!!” Old Man Tianji suddenly shouted.

At the warning, the already frightened Lin Feng broke out in a cold sweat.

And just as he instinctively bent down, a furry tiger paw brushed past his hair.

Although he dodged the attack, Lin Feng lost his balance and fell from the sky.

As he fell, he finally saw clearly the attacker was a large White Tiger with black lightning patterns on its body and a six-petal black flower on its forehead.

Lin Feng knew this white tiger very well.

It was Xiaobai!!

If Xiaobai was here, didn’t that mean…

As he fell, Lin Feng looked below.

Sure enough, in the dense forest below, a girl in a green skirt emerged, holding a spirit shovel and standing next to a freshly dug deep pit.

And if Lin Feng continued to fall straight down, he would land right in it!

“Junior Brother Lin, your Third Senior Sister has come to find you,” Qingning waved her spirit shovel, her smile is playful and cute.

“!!!”

Lin Feng was shocked.

He wanted to ask. Was this really necessary?

This place was tens of thousands of li from the Jiuyan Sect. Did Qingning, this madwoman, really need to come all this way?

And judging by the current situation, it seemed she had been lying in wait for a long time!

What kind of grudge or resentment is this?!

There was no point in thinking about this now.

As he fell, Lin Feng quickly summoned his black saber and unleashed a saber qi.

Using the recoil force of the saber qi, he barely stabilized his body, and although he still fell to the ground, he avoided falling directly into the pit.

While holding the black saber, Lin Feng checked Qingning’s cultivation level.

“Late Heavenly Origin stage? How is this possible?!”

He couldn’t believe it.

“This girl must have taken some heavenly material or earthly treasure that improves talent. But even so, her cultivation shouldn’t have progressed this fast…” Old Man Tianji was also puzzled.

After a brief shock, Lin Feng calmed down.

Although Qingning’s cultivation was comparable to his, her combat strength was not on the same level.

Compared to Qingning, what he needed to be more wary of was…

“Roar!!”

A deafening roar resounded, and Xiaobai landed next to Qingning from above.

“Qingning, that sneak attack didn’t work! He actually dodged it!” Xiaobai said regretfully.

“It’s all because of you! Digging so many pits made him wary!” Qingning complained.

“I just wanted to be extra cautious…”

“Stupid tiger…”

“Qingning, you’re scolding me again!”

“Am I? You must have heard wrong.”

The girl and the tiger conversed in soft tones.

“It’s not wise to confront them head-on. Escaping is our best option!” Old Man Tianji advised.

Run?

Of course, Lin Feng wanted to run.

After all, he was used to running away, but… looking at Xiaobai, his expression grew increasingly grave.

His concern was precisely this foolish tiger.

Xiaobai had not only advanced to become a Demon King, with strength comparable to cultivators of the upper four realms, but it had also become the ‘Six Prisons Demon Suppression Tiger’!

Xiaobai is extremely dangerous.

Whether in terms of strength or speed, it surpassed him!

“Since you can’t run, you can only fight!” Old Man Tianji said again.

Although Lin Feng didn’t have an abundance of soul power, by squeezing out a bit, he could still muster some for Lin Feng to use.

With that said, a cold aura emerged within Lin Feng’s body, causing his aura to climb continuously until it was comparable to a cultivator of the upper four realms.

Adhering to the principle of striking first, Lin Feng let out a roar, his cultivation technique and movement technique activated simultaneously, and in an instant, he was in front of Xiaobai, followed by a slash of his blade.

Although the blade lacked saber qi, it carried a strong blade intent, making it extremely powerful.

But just as he swung down his saber, an anomaly occurred.

A figure as sturdy as a tower with muscles developed like coiling dragons suddenly appeared in front of Xiaobai.

The black blade struck the figure.

With a “clang,” the black blade rang out, and sparks flew.

The black blade filled with tremendous killing power was actually repelled by the man’s flesh!

“Hmph!”

The towering figure snorted coldly, his right palm opened wide, and he slapped directly towards Lin Feng’s cheek!

Smack! Crack—

The crisp sound of a slap mixed with the sound of bones breaking was heard.

The immense impact on his cheek sent Lin Feng flying several zhang away and landing precisely in a deep pit!

“????”

Lying in the pit, Lin Feng was dumbfounded.

Is he really taken out just like that?

“This… this is too unreasonable…” Lin Feng felt like crying.
