"Bloody Wave Eight Forms!"
Under immense pressure, the white-haired elder’s eyes widened in disbelief, almost surpassing his limits, as he swung a sword at Luo Feng.
Swish...
A massive and boundless bloody sword gang, layered heavily, slashed towards Luo Feng. From afar, the sword qi seemed like a gigantic wave of blood, covering the sky and earth, attempting to shatter everything ahead.
Luo Feng raised his eyebrows, neither retreating nor dodging, and rushed forward against the sword qi, lightly flicking the index finger of his right hand.
With a bang, a spiral finger force shot out swiftly, and the airflow ahead split to both sides. In an instant, the astonishingly powerful bloody sword qi was pierced through.
"So fast!"
The white-haired elder was horrified, his mind only had time to flash one thought and watched helplessly as the spiral finger force came blasting over, unable to avoid.
Bang!
With a muffled grunt, the white-haired elder’s figure retreated explosively, his body crashing into a distant rock wall, creating a large hole in the hard rock wall, with eye-catching cracks spreading like a spider web across the entire precipice.
Struggling to his feet, the white-haired elder had blood flowing from his seven orifices, gazing at the approaching Luo Feng, hoarsely said:
"You... you are the second young master of the Luo Family, Luo Feng?"
Luo Feng came to the white-haired elder’s side, coldly smiling, "Since you recognize me, it seems I haven’t killed the wrong person."
The white-haired elder, seeing Luo Feng’s smile, felt a chill in his heart. He realized he had underestimated this second young master of the Luo Family. Is this really just a sixteen-year-old boy?
"Is it the Wang Family who sent you to kill us?"
Luo Feng looked at the white-haired elder, his gaze grim.
Luo Ying was captured, and they were ambushed on the necessary route to Black Cloud City—a conspiracy that was evidently long planned.
Just now, that arrow was difficult for even martial artists in the Four Spirit Rotations to withstand. If it weren’t for Luo Feng’s presence, the consequences are unimaginable.
The white-haired elder coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood, gazed at Luo Feng and coldly smiled:
"I am not a three-year-old child. Even if I tell you, will you spare me?"
Thwack!
As soon as the words fell, a spiral qi force shot over, piercing directly through his head, and his body was pulled by the huge force, flying backward more than ten meters away.
"You’re right. No matter if you speak or not, it’s a dead-end. As for whether this matter is related to the Wang Family, I will personally investigate."
Luo Feng glanced at the white-haired elder’s corpse, his expression indifferent.
At this moment, the sound of a breakthrough came, and Luotian and Captain Li hurried over.
Captain Li glanced at the white-haired elder on the ground, then looked at Luo Feng, involuntarily taking a deep breath.
When the Red Wolf attacked and ambushed, he thought the three of them were definitely going to die. Unexpectedly, that mighty arrow was easily blocked by Luo Feng, and in an instant, three of them were slain.
On the way there, he saw the corpses of the three Red Wolves and recognized their identities.
The Red Fire Three Wolves were notorious bandits in the south of the Northwestern Plains, and the boss, Red Wolf, once killed a martial artist in the Five Spirit Rotations, his strength unfathomable. The other two were also experts in the Spiritual Rotation Realm, dominating the Northwestern Plains, yet in front of Luo Feng, they didn’t even have a chance to escape, killed in an instant. What terrifying strength!
Recalling the boy condemned as a waste a year ago, Captain Li looked up at Luo Feng, feeling somewhat dazed, and stood there in a trance.
Luotian knew that Luo Feng’s cultivation had already stepped into the late Eight Spiritual Rotation Realm. He wasn’t surprised by everything that happened. When he placed his gaze on the white-haired elder, his gaze suddenly became sharp:
"It’s him!"
Luo Feng asked: "Father, you recognize him? Is he from the Wang Family?"
Luotian shook his head and said, "He is not from the Wang Family but among the blood-skull bandits in the Northwestern Plains. He is the second-in-command, the leader being Xuekui, specializing in murder and robbery. A month ago, I led a raid against horse thief bandits near Panlong City and happened to encounter this man robbing passing merchants. We battled at that time, but his qinggong cultivation was formidable. Even when teamed up with Elder Xu Yuan and Elder Sun, he still escaped, only crippling one of his arms. It seems he sought revenge today."
Luo Feng furrowed his brow, hesitating: "I thought this had to do with the Wang Family in Black Cloud City..."
"Young Master, this matter certainly involves the Wang Family!" Captain Li approached.
"Oh? Why?"
Captain Li explained: "There’s something Young Master does not know. The Wang Family’s former Family Head was a bandit in the Northwestern Plains before he washed his hands of wrongdoing. Even so, the Wang Family has always had intricate ties with the horse thief bandits of the Northwestern Plains, often using their hands to suppress and harm families opposing them. This incident should be the same."
"The Wang Family actually colludes with bandits? Why have I not heard of this from Eldest Brother?" Luotian slightly furrowed his brow.
Captain Li said: "Family Head Luo Zhan didn’t want you to worry, so he kept these circumstances hidden." fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
Upon hearing this, Luotian showed a bit of a bitter smile, truly in line with Eldest Brother’s style.
"It seems the Wang Family intended to annihilate me here, silently and without trace. As long as I perished, Panlong City would undoubtedly fall into chaos, allowing them to reclaim the status of the six major families. Yet, they didn’t foresee Feng Er returned from the Golden Palace."
Luotian quickly figured out the crux of the whole matter.
Luo Feng’s eyes flashed with killing intent, speaking:
"To go so far for the mere status of the six major families, since they are inhumane, they need not blame us for being unethically. Father, let’s first go to Black Cloud City to rescue Cousin Luo Ying."
"Yes, the matter cannot be delayed, let’s go!"
The three soared into the air, sped towards Black Cloud City.
The blazing sun gradually rises, the golden sunlight illuminating the grass and trees on the Northwestern Plains, sparkling and resplendent, magnificent.
Luo Feng and the others delve deeper into the Northwestern Plains, and after two hours, a massive city came into view, Black Cloud City.
The three landed on the avenue in front of the city gates, before they got close, a team approached, led by a woman whose eyes lit up upon seeing Luotian:
"Second Brother, you’re finally here!"
The woman appeared to be in her thirties, with an oval face, dignified and luxurious, radiant and striking even without makeup, yet her face was extremely haggard, pale as paper.
Luo Feng recognized her as Luo Ying’s mother, Shen Qing, immediately saluting: "Luo Feng greets Auntie."
Shen Qing was stunned, gazed at Luo Feng for a moment, said: "Feng Er! You... you returned from Linglong Hall?"
"Yes. Returned just yesterday." Luo Feng nodded. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
Shen Qing’s face showed excitement, grasping Luo Feng’s hands, tears streaming down her cheeks, "Feng Er, your cousin is not a monster, you must save her! Auntie begs you..."
Luo Feng nodded, "Auntie, cousin Luo Ying is certainly not a monster, I will definitely rescue her safely. By the way, is Uncle alright?"
Shen Qing shook her head, "Your uncle is severely injured but should recover after a few days of rest. It’s just Ying’er..."
Next to her, Luotian comforted, "Shen Qing, since we are here, no one can harm Ying’er. It’s nearly noon, let’s go."
"Alright, I’ll take you there."
Shen Qing, regained from shock, wiped away her tears, and led Luo Feng and the others swiftly into Black Cloud City, determined and resolute, starkly contrasting her previous demeanor.
