The Rising Phoenix

Chapter 1010: Chapter 1010: Teach Them A Lesson

At the same time, the other two men also rushed forward while drawing their weapons. The sharp blades sliced through the air with an audible whistle as they attempted to slash Bai Xifeng from multiple directions simultaneously.

However, in Bai Xifeng’s eyes, the movements of the three men appeared painfully slow. After suffering under Ji Yuan’s brutal and high-speed training sessions for so long, attacks at this mediocre level no longer placed any pressure on her whatsoever. She casually sidestepped one sword before lightly twisting her torso to evade another attack with effortless ease.

Clang!

Because of her sudden evasion, the three swords ended up colliding heavily against one another instead, sending bright sparks flying through the air. The men immediately widened their eyes in shock after suddenly losing sight of their target completely.

"Where did she go?!"

The three hurriedly looked around in alarm, their formation already completely broken apart. Only then did they notice Bai Xifeng casually standing several meters away to the side with her arms crossed, calmly watching them as though they were some kind of entertaining comedy performance.

"I do not think we know each other personally." Bai Xifeng spoke leisurely, her tone almost conversational. "So let me ask this properly. Who exactly told you to do something like this?"

"Humph! Why should we tell you anything?" One of the men sneered coldly while tightening his grip around his sword hilt once more. "You are not leaving this place alive anyway."

"Wow..." Bai Xifeng chuckled softly, sounding genuinely impressed by their astonishing lack of self-awareness. "I did not expect you all to be so willing to destroy your own futures just to do something this stupid."

"No one will know anything as long as you never leave this place." The man declared confidently while gesturing arrogantly toward the isolated courtyard surrounding them.

"Oh?" Bai Xifeng smiled slowly, a dangerous glint immediately appearing within her eyes. "I think you have misunderstood something."

Her smile gradually became ice-cold. "It will not be me who fails to leave this place."

The exact moment her words fell, Bai Xifeng’s hand moved in a blur. She swiftly slapped a glowing yellow rune directly onto the damp ground beneath her feet while simultaneously channelling her spiritual energy into the rune.

BOOM!

The surrounding earth immediately trembled violently, causing dust and loose debris to shake free from the abandoned buildings nearby. Before the three men could even react properly or regain their footing, thick and heavily reinforced walls of solid stone abruptly erupted upward around them from all directions, instantly trapping them inside a completely sealed and roofless stone enclosure.

"What?!" freēwēbnovel.com

The men immediately panicked as shadows swallowed them inside the stone prison. Only now did they finally realize they had been completely trapped without even managing to land a single successful blow against Bai Xifeng.

They frantically struck the dense stone walls repeatedly with their swords and fists, shouting in alarm while desperately attempting to break through and escape.

Boom! Bang! Clang!

However, no matter how much spiritual energy they poured into their attacks, the rune-created stone prison remained entirely intact, effortlessly absorbing the vibrations from their assaults.

Meanwhile, Bai Xifeng merely stood calmly outside the towering walls while listening to the muffled and frantic shouting of her would-be attackers. A slow and deeply satisfied smile gradually appeared across her face as she dusted her hands lightly.

Bai Xifeng did not even bother dismantling the rune formation afterwards. In any case, the prison would naturally disappear after twelve hours. Letting them remain trapped inside the stone box for a while to cool down their brains sounded perfectly reasonable to her.

Thus, Bai Xifeng casually turned around and left the abandoned area altogether.

While walking back along the dirt path, she soon encountered the same student who had earlier guided her there. The student stumbled backwards in fright the instant he saw Bai Xifeng approaching and immediately fell onto the ground in a panic.

Bai Xifeng calmly squatted down in front of him until their eyes were level. The student trembled violently, his face pale as he looked directly into Bai Xifeng’s eyes.

"Hey..." Bai Xifeng only uttered a single word.

However, before she could even continue speaking further, the student immediately blurted everything out in a frantic rush.

"I am sorry!" The student confessed desperately, pressing his hands to the dirt. "I was forced by them to bring you there! If I did not obey their orders, they would definitely beat me up!"

"I see..." Bai Xifeng nodded lightly before continuing, her voice entirely even. "Then let me ask you one more thing."

"W-What is it?" The student asked nervously, swallowing hard.

"Do you know why they were targeting me?" Bai Xifeng asked calmly.

"I think..." The student hesitated briefly, casting a glance around before lowering his voice. "I think it is because of Student Bai Chunhua."

"Oh..." Bai Xifeng narrowed her eyes slightly before smiling faintly. "I see. Thank you."

The student instantly felt a wave of relief wash over him after realising Bai Xifeng had no intention of hitting him or taking revenge against him personally. Then, a sudden curiosity overwhelmed him. He wondered what had become of the three students who were originally supposed to be ambushing her.

Hurriedly climbing back to his feet, he scurried back toward the abandoned area to see for himself.

However, the moment he arrived there, he froze in complete shock. A gigantic, seamless stone box structure now stood firmly in the middle of the abandoned courtyard like some bizarre, ominous monument.

At the same time, there were multiple screams coming from inside this strange structure.

"LET US OUT!"

"HELP!"

"WHAT IS THIS THING?!"

"HEY, LET US OUT!"

"ARE YOU THERE?"

"HELP! HELP!"
