Free Web NovelChapter 357: Chapter 357: Liu Xingzhi’s Backing
’Could she be the Heavenly Dao’s Son?’
Xiao Heyun found it hard to believe. He was a transmigrator with a system; if anyone was the Heavenly Dao’s Son, it should be him!
’Host, anything is possible. This person might possess immense luck. Otherwise, how could she have snatched the inheritance from you?’
Suddenly, everything seemed to make sense.
’Host, in that case, we must win her over. She could become a great asset to you in the future!’
The system was also getting greedy. Who wouldn’t covet such immense luck?
’Of course. With my charm, I can definitely win her over!’
Xiao Heyun was getting conceited. So many outstanding beauties had already fallen for him; Song Wanning would surely be no exception.
While the man and his system were busy scheming, Wu Qingfeng had already made another move.
But this time, the Divine Thunder struck even more fiercely, startling him into a hasty retreat.
When the Divine Thunder dissipated, his face was as black as thunder.
It was actually real!!!
’This woman is actually protected by the Heavenly Dao? What in the world is going on?’
’The old ancestor is waiting for me to bring her back to be killed. What am I supposed to do now?’
Wu Qingfeng realized how tricky the situation was. He was even more worried that if he dealt with Song Wanning by force, he might have to pay a price.
Like being abandoned by the Heavenly Dao...
After all, a cultivator’s luck was extremely important. Once it turned sour, the consequences would be immeasurable.
By this time, most of the cultivators in Cannibal Valley had come out. They crowded around the entrance, all staring at Song Wanning as if she were a marvel.
"This young lady is protected by the Heavenly Dao? Didn’t the Medicine King Sect just pick a fight they can’t win?"
"Exactly! I hope they don’t block their whole Sect’s luck over a single woman!"
"You guys actually believe that? She must have used some trick to fool everyone!"
Everyone had different reactions, but most of them were inclined to believe Song Wanning.
After all, that wasn’t ordinary Heavenly Thunder, but the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder!
Wu Qingfeng, who was already wavering, grew even more furious upon hearing this. He felt as if his face was being slapped repeatedly, and it stung.
But the Medicine King Sect’s reputation could not be lost. Still unwilling to give up, he reached for Song Wanning once again.
Song Wanning clicked her tongue. Another bolt of Divine Thunder descended, this time striking the condensed Spiritual Energy Palm and blasting it to smithereens.
"HAHAHAHA—"
She suddenly burst out laughing, laughing so hard it almost brought tears to her eyes.
"Are you just asking to be humiliated? Or is it that your Medicine King Sect has always been this stupid without realizing it?"
Song Wanning didn’t bother to hide the mockery in her eyes, her face practically a canvas of schadenfreude.
The more arrogant she acted, the more suspicious Wu Qingfeng became.
At the very least, he didn’t dare to make a killing move on her for the time being.
But while Song Wanning appeared calm and composed, her meridians were already throbbing with pain.
Using the Divine Thunder so many times in a row was too much for her meridians to bear, and a turbulent, agonizing sensation churned within her.
But she endured it all. She couldn’t show even a hint of weakness, or all her efforts would be for nothing.
"Heh heh—"
Wu Qingfeng was so enraged by Song Wanning that he let out a laugh.
’This bitch, how dare she curse the Medicine King Sect.’
’Does she have any idea what the Medicine King Sect’s status is right now?’
’What an idiot!’
"I don’t care if you’re protected by the Heavenly Dao or not! You’re coming back with me to the Medicine King Sect now. Otherwise, even at the risk of being struck dead by lightning, I will kill you!"
Wu Qingfeng threatened her loudly, determined not to let anyone see the slightest hint of his fear.
At the same time, he also planned to trick Song Wanning into coming back with him first.
"And what if I refuse?"
Song Wanning suddenly tilted her head, a provocative smile gracing her lips.
"What can you do to me???"
"You—"
Wu Qingfeng was furious. In that moment, he threw all caution about the Divine Thunder to the wind and swung a palm strike at Song Wanning.
If this strike landed, even if she didn’t die, she would be crippled.
However, Song Wanning suddenly blinked at him.
’Not good!’
Almost on instinct, Wu Qingfeng hastily tried to retract his palm strike.
But it was too late.
A flash of a blade slashed down viciously from mid-air. Everyone present felt the sky suddenly darken, and in the next instant, they saw Wu Qingfeng sent flying, coughing up blood unceasingly as he collapsed to the ground.
The reversal happened so fast that the crowd hurriedly looked up, only to see a figure descending from the sky.
Stunningly handsome features, an indifferent and merciless expression.
He landed slowly like a War God, positioning himself in front of Song Wanning.
It was none other than Liu Xingzhi.
"It’s Venerable Liu!!"
"Heavens, it’s really him!!"
The people from the Medicine King Sect were shaken. Their expressions changed, and they quietly tried to make themselves less conspicuous.
This man was the God of Killing, known to start slaughtering at the slightest disagreement.
Xiao Heyun was especially shocked, his heart pounding in his chest.
For some reason, the figure before him filled him with an intense sense of crisis.
He even felt like a clown in front of Liu Xingzhi.
After all, the target the system had initially given him to imitate was Liu Xingzhi.
Back in the day, this man was the dream lover of countless female cultivators in the Cultivation World.
To the side, Xie Qinglan was also stunned for a moment. ’That man... he looks so familiar.’
’He looks like Senior Brother, but he’s a hundred times more powerful.’
As she kept staring, the look of awe in Xie Qinglan’s eyes grew deeper, and the "genius hero" filter through which she saw her senior brother began to shatter bit by bit.
Even though Xiao Heyun hadn’t done anything, her affection rating for him was decreasing, which startled him.
The system panicked too. ’What’s wrong with this Xie Qinglan? Why does her affection rating keep dropping?’
In the end, it was because Xie Qinglan’s feelings for Xiao Heyun were based more on admiration than anything else.
There was very little genuine romantic love.
So when she discovered someone even more outstanding, her admiration shifted, and her affection for Xiao Heyun naturally dwindled.
Unfortunately, the current Xiao Heyun didn’t understand this. He was sweating with anxiety, his anger flaring.
While everyone was sizing up Liu Xingzhi, Song Wanning was also looking at his back.
’A Sword Cultivator!’
’Such a powerful Sword Cultivator!!’
Her eyes were filled with light, and a fighting spirit began to stir within her.
’I wonder if I’ll ever have the chance to surpass him. When that time comes, we must have a good fight!’
As for Wu Qingfeng...
Song Wanning glanced at the man who was still struggling to get up, frantically stuffing Elixir Pills into his mouth, and a mocking smile touched her lips.
’Did he really think I was foolish enough to provoke him for no reason?’
’It was only because I had already sensed Liu Xingzhi’s arrival.’
’That’s why I deliberately provoked Wu Qingfeng—to use Liu Xingzhi’s hand to vent some of my anger.’
After all, since she had brought back the Trial Tower for him, she didn’t see any problem with using Liu Xingzhi a little.
"COUGH, COUGH, COUGH—"
Wu Qingfeng’s hand trembled as he took his medicine. He finally managed to struggle to his feet, the previous arrogance in his eyes completely gone.
"Mr... Mr. Liu, what is the meaning of this?"
He was very familiar with this God of Killing, Liu Xingzhi, and knew full well how terrifying he could be.
But he was still incredibly furious. ’I was just teaching one of the Ascenders a lesson. What does it have to do with him?’
’Does he love meddling in other people’s business this much?’
Hearing this, Liu Xingzhi slowly lifted his eyelids, his indifferent eyes filled with killing intent.
