Chapter 394: A Bad Feeling
Shen Yifeng’s move can be said to be one of courtesy before force.
In the early stage, he treated Bai Ying as a senior, and his attitude was very appropriate.
But the Bai family was relentless in their aggression.
Shen Yifeng wasn’t someone to be trifled with.
A mere Soul Formation stage Bai Ying had no right to be so brazen in front of him.
Seeing the murderous intent emanating from the Killing Sword hovering before Shen Yifeng, the Golden Flame Eagle flapped its wings nervously and retreated several dozen meters.
Only Bai Ying remained standing, her aged face contorted with anger.
Bai Ying narrowed her eyes, “Shen Yifeng, what do you mean by this?”
However, Shen Yifeng simply extended three fingers.
Then, as if counting, he slowly retracted each finger one by one.“Senior Bai, the time is up.
But since you’re still here, I, Shen Yifeng, am a man of my word.”
His words fell, and Shen Yifeng wasted no time.
With a thought, the Killing Sword, radiating with murderous aura, suddenly erupted with a wave of chilling sword energy.
It slashed directly towards Bai Ying.
Bai Ying never expected Shen Yifeng to be serious.
Her anger deepened, but she couldn’t afford to be careless.
Although he was a Soul Formation stage cultivator, she had heard of Shen Yifeng’s reputation.
She knew that despite being only in the Nascent Soul mid-stage, Shen Yifeng wasn’t afraid of most Soul Formation stage cultivators.
Especially someone like her, who had just broken through recently.
Although she looked calm at this moment, Bai Ying’s Soul Formation stage aura flared fiercely.
She thrust her dragon-headed cane towards the void.
A ferocious dragon-shaped energy blast shot towards Shen Yifeng’s sword energy.
She represented the Bai family, and as a Soul Formation stage cultivator, she couldn’t afford to be easily pushed back by Shen Yifeng. Doing so would be a humiliation for the entire Bai family.
In an instant, the dragon-shaped energy collided with Shen Yifeng’s sword energy.
The void twisted and warped.
The overwhelming energy surged outwards, scattering everything in its path.
The Golden Flame Eagle, carrying the other Bai family members, retreated another ten meters.
Only after the two attacks dissipated did the countless onlookers gradually recover from their shock.
“Who is that? How powerful!
A Nascent Soul mid-stage cultivator daring to attack a Soul Formation stage cultivator?”
“I heard the person guarding the Evil Moon Sect Linjiang Branch is the legendary Blood Hand Asura, Shen Yifeng!
He seems even more arrogant than the rumors say.
No matter what, isn’t it a bit reckless for him to attack a Soul Formation stage cultivator like that?”
“Or maybe the Evil Moon Sect is already prepared to go to war with the Bai family. In that case, the Evil Moon Sect wouldn’t fear the Bai family at all.”
“…”
After the exchange, Shen Yifeng and Bai Ying seemed evenly matched.
The onlookers in the distance were stunned and discussed the situation with fear in their eyes.
Bai Ying’s face was contorted with anger, while Shen Yifeng still wore a gentle smile.
“Very well, Shen Yifeng, the Bai family will remember this!”
With that, she retreated back onto the Golden Flame Eagle’s back.
From the outside, it seemed like she and Shen Yifeng had fought to a draw.
Some even thought she had the upper hand because she effortlessly deflected Shen Yifeng’s attack.
But only she knew that she had used all her strength to block Shen Yifeng’s sword.
Her hand, still gripping the dragon-headed cane, was numb.
The other Bai family cultivators on the Golden Flame Eagle were not strong enough to challenge Shen Yifeng. The strongest among them were only two Nascent Soul stage cultivators, and the rest were young disciples who had come out to gain experience.
She knew that if they continued to fight, the Bai family would lose face.
Driven by Bai Ying, the Golden Flame Eagle circled once before flying away from the Evil Moon Sect.
As the Golden Flame Eagle turned, a stunningly beautiful woman standing on its back glanced curiously at Luo Yuebai.
That woman was none other than Bai Susu, Feng Qingya’s friend.
“This Lord Shen is truly formidable. He actually scared the Bai family away?”
“Did you all see the exchange between Lord Shen and the Bai family just now?
Was it a draw, or did one of them have the upper hand?”
“Whether it was a draw or not, Lord Shen is only in the Nascent Soul mid-stage.
He had fought a cultivator of a higher stage!”
“…”
At that moment, many people looked at Shen Yifeng, who was standing on his flying artifact, with admiration in their eyes.
“Let’s go, let’s go up to Clear Wind Mountain and see what that kid is up to.”
After the Bai family left, Shen Yifeng turned to Luo Yuebai. He knew Bai Ying was just looking for a scapegoat to vent her anger.
And even if that wasn’t the case, Shen Yifeng could handle whatever Bai Ying threw at him.
What worried him most was if Su Jingzhen happened to come down from Clear Wind Mountain at this time.
Encountering the Bai family would likely cause trouble.
So Shen Yifeng took Luo Yuebai towards the canyon leading to Clear Wind Mountain.
Upon reaching Clear Wind Mountain, the two saw the Golden Flame Eagle, carrying the Bai family, circling high above.
However, their target was the forest where Yan Xia had caused the anomaly earlier.
That’s where Jiuchi and Ning Yao had appeared.
Shen Yifeng and Luo Yuebai quickly reached the top of the canyon.
But after searching the area, they found no trace of Su Jingzhen.
“There must be a special space within this canyon, but I’m not good at this kind of thing.
That stinky kid should still be inside,” Shen Yifeng said.
However, Luo Yuebai’s face remained grim.
For some reason, her unease intensified.
“Third Grandpa, let’s wait here for a while.
I have a bad feeling about him,” Luo Yuebai said seriously to Shen Yifeng.
Shen Yifeng was taken aback, then his brows furrowed.
A cultivator’s intuition is very sensitive, especially for Luo Yuebai, who had a close relationship with Su Jingzhen.
At this point, Luo Yuebai saying this meant that Su Jingzhen was truly in danger.
“Alright, I’ll go down with you to look for him!”
The two then carefully searched the entire canyon within the mist.
But they still couldn’t find the entrance to the supposed hidden place.
They decided to stay at the top of the canyon, their attention fully focused.
…
Inside the hidden place, the sword energy in the large pit grew thicker and thicker.
The giant python’s body trembled more and more violently.
Even the severed python head and body seemed to be drawn by some powerful force, slowly moving towards each other.
But the sharp sword energy in the void was desperately trying to stop them.
After several hours of feeding back to Su Jingzhen, the strange power emanating from the giant python finally produced a reaction.
Su Jingzhen’s meridians accelerated and were nourished.
His consciousness finally re-condensed and awoke.
