Chapter 884: Chapter 881: The Ruse of Feigning Weakness, Until We Meet Again!

"What an astonishing sword momentum!"

Luo Feng was about to strike down the Blood Saber Demon General when his mind suddenly stirred. He looked up to see a crimson Sword Qi slicing through the sky, targeting the Blood Saber Demon General.

This Sword Qi was incredibly imposing. As it appeared, the clouds in the sky automatically parted, and Luo Feng could feel a slight chill on his skin—a feeling of extreme danger.

Hiss!

The sword light moved at a remarkable speed, flashing through the void and instantly reaching the Blood Saber Demon General, intending to slay him.

The Blood Saber Demon General was indeed a top expert of the Spiritual Rotation Realm. At the critical moment, he swung his saber in mid-air towards the Sword Qi.

Slash!

The saber collided with the crimson Sword Qi, causing the Blood Saber Demon General to stagger back violently, spitting out a blood arrow.

However, this strike allowed him to narrowly avoid the Sword Qi.

Hiss!

The sword light flashed downwards, piercing through a hundred-meter-high mountain, revealing a house-sized sword hollow, with its surroundings smooth and pristine.

"The ’Blood Cloud Fire Dragon’ Lu Xiao Yun of the Top Ten New Dragons!"

Stopping in his tracks, the Blood Saber Demon General looked up with a look of despair on his face.

"Lu Xiao Yun!"

Luo Feng’s eyes narrowed. He looked up to see a tall figure stepping down from the clouds.

As the figure appeared, it was as if an invisible aura influenced the surrounding air, making it a bit warmer.

The newcomer was seventeen or eighteen years old, with ordinary features, but he had a pair of penetrating eyes, like stars in the sky, shining brightly. He wore the uniform of an Inner Sect Disciple of the Sky Sword Pavilion, with a crimson sword at his waist.

The sword was sheathed, but a sharp, imposing aura accompanied his steps, growing stronger, as though the sword might fly out at any moment to reap lives.

Luo Feng recognized him at a glance; it was indeed one of the Top Ten New Dragons, Lu Xiao Yun.

Compared to their last meeting, the other’s momentum had grown much stronger, only slightly weaker than the peak Blood Saber Demon General.

"Lu Xiao Yun..."

The Blood Saber Demon General looked at Lu Xiao Yun, his face filled with despair.

One Luo Feng was already too much for him to resist, and now another of the Top Ten New Dragons had appeared.

Moreover, Lu Xiao Yun’s ranking among the Top Ten New Dragons was not low. Even if he were at his peak, his chances of victory were only seventy percent. Now, severely injured, he faced certain death against Lu Xiao Yun.

Lu Xiao Yun appeared calm, glanced at Luo Feng, a hint of killing intent flickering in his eyes, but it quickly vanished as he spoke with a smile:

"Junior Brother Luo Feng, long time no see."

"Yes, probably not the way you expected."

Luo Feng looked at Lu Xiao Yun, a cold smile in his heart, and said indifferently, "Also, we are both disciples of the Golden Palace. You are not my senior brother, nor am I your junior brother."

Upon seeing Lu Xiao Yun, Luo Feng immediately understood that the mysterious aura he had felt earlier was precisely Lu Xiao Yun.

Their delay in appearing and watching him and Yang Wanyi fall into danger might have been an attempt to kill with a borrowed knife. However, they probably didn’t expect Yang Dingtian to break through to the True Yuan Realm at the crucial moment.

Hearing Luo Feng’s words, a cold gleam flashed in Lu Xiao Yun’s eyes. After a cold smile, he no longer looked at Luo Feng and turned to the Blood Saber Demon General.

"Blood Saber Demon General, I will take your head."

"You!"

The Blood Saber Demon General’s face changed drastically, but he didn’t dare to move rashly. Cold sweat dripped from his forehead as he subtly scoured his surroundings for a way out.

But the situation was hopeless. Lu Xiao Yun was in front, Luo Feng behind, and neither was easy to deal with. With his current strength, he was no match.

"No need to waste effort; encountering me means you’re definitely facing death today."

Lu Xiao Yun sneered, raising his right hand, about to strike down the Blood Saber Demon General.

"Hold on!"

Luo Feng intervened to stop Lu Xiao Yun, frowning:

"Lu Xiao Yun, what you’re doing might not be appropriate."

Lu Xiao Yun lifted his eyes, looking at Luo Feng with a cold gaze, "What’s inappropriate?"

"The Blood Saber Demon General was injured by the efforts of me, Yang Wanyi, and others. As you are one of the Top Ten New Dragons, taking advantage of this and spreading it would surely invite ridicule," Luo Feng said with a composed demeanor but powerful voice.

The Blood Saber Demon General stood aside, sensing the growing tension between the two, silently watching, his eyes darting back and forth between them.

Lu Xiao Yun chuckled coldly, "I only stepped in because I saw you weren’t a match for the Blood Saber Demon General. Do you think I’d covet such a measly achievement of yours?"

Luo Feng replied, "I don’t need your assistance."

Lu Xiao Yun’s eyes flickered, and he said, "That’s not for you to decide. We’ve agreed to battle at the New Dragon List Conference, already known throughout the Six Southern Domains. If you were killed by the Blood Saber Demon General here, others might think I intentionally harmed you."

As Luo Feng had guessed, Lu Xiao Yun had arrived long before.

He and Yang Wanyi attacked a Demon Sect stronghold, hoping to slay a Demon General-level expert. Unfortunately, there was none at that stronghold.

Upon hearing of numerous blood corpses appearing around nearby towns, he followed Yang Wanyi to Dayang City.

Initially, he planned to appear and slay the Blood Saber Demon General and the Blood Poison Demonic General.

But after witnessing Luo Feng’s battle with the Blood Corpse, he changed his mind.

Within a mere month, Luo Feng’s cultivation had soared, from the early stage of the sixth level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm to its peak, a terrifyingly quick ascension. Furthermore, his Grand Momentum and Martial Arts realms had also improved, his strength much advanced since their last meeting.

Though Luo Feng wasn’t his match even now, Lu Xiao Yun didn’t want to leave such a threat alive. He intended to let the Blood Saber Demon General and others take down Dayang City, incidentally killing Luo Feng. He would then appear, saving Dayang City, possibly even capturing Yang Wanyi’s heart—a plan that killed two birds with one stone.

But alas, humans plan while heaven laughs. At a critical moment, Yang Dingtian broke through to the True Yuan Realm, ruining his entire plan.

Seeing the Blood Saber Demon General about to be slain by Luo Feng, he reluctantly intervened. Although he didn’t care much for an earthly-grade cultivation technique, he also didn’t want it falling into Luo Feng’s hands.

Luo Feng, knowing Lu Xiao Yun wouldn’t back down, had already formulated a plan in his mind, indifferently saying:

"In that case, let’s see who can kill this person first."

"Oh?"

Lu Xiao Yun appeared somewhat surprised, staring at Luo Feng, "You want to compete with me?"

Luo Feng nodded, his gaze stern, "Indeed, do you dare?"

Lu Xiao Yun’s lips curled into a cold smile, extending a finger arrogantly:

"Why wouldn’t I dare? Don’t say I bully you; I’ll give you an instant advantage. After that moment, I’ll act. I want to see how you can kill before me."

The Blood Saber Demon General heard the two conversing and was so enraged that he spat blood.

As one of the one hundred and eight Demon Generals of the Blood Demon Sect, his status was noble, and he had never endured such humiliation. He was now reduced to awaiting death. But given the current situation, he was helpless.

"Give me an instant advantage; that’s your words."

Luo Feng’s eyes flashed with brilliance, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a layer of crimson light rose around him, churning incessantly, disturbing the surrounding air; his aura rose inch by inch.

Lu Xiao Yun’s face showed disdain, his clothes fluttering, a sharp energy emanating from him, slicing the air into fragments.

The blood Saber Demon General, positioned over a hundred steps away from both of them, was confident that even allowing Luo Feng an instant advantage would enable him to act first and kill the Blood Saber Demon General.

The two faced off, their gazes both focusing on the Blood Saber Demon General in the middle, a heavy atmosphere permeating.

"Slash."

Reaching the peak of his momentum, Luo Feng took a step forward, the Emperor Yan’s Sky-breaking Saber bursting forth with crimson saber gang, ready to strike.

Pfft!

Suddenly, his face flushed red, and he spat out a large amount of blood, his energy weakening.

"A good opportunity!"

The Blood Saber Demon General had prepared; seeing Luo Feng suddenly vomit blood, he assumed it was due to the previous saber gang injury flaring up, rejoicing that if he could kill Luo Feng, he might have a chance to survive!

Finding life in a desperate situation, the Blood Saber Demon General frantically urged the yuan qi within him, crimson light boiling around him, and in a flash, he transformed into a massive blood-colored streak, rushing toward Luo Feng.

Slash!

During the charge, the Blood Saber Demon General swung a saber in mid-air, aiming to kill Luo Feng

"Hm?"

On the other side, Lu Xiao Yun looked at Luo Feng, frowning, suddenly his expression changed, and his crimson treasured sword drew silently from its sheath.

At that moment, Luo Feng suddenly raised his head, his gaze sharp as a blade, bright and dazzling as if slicing through the void, a trace of an extremely cold smile upon his lips.

"Ah! My life ends here!"

Facing Luo Feng’s gaze, the Blood Saber Demon General immediately realized he was tricked, a chilling cold spread throughout his body, an unresigned long howl escaping his mouth.

"Slash!"

Luo Feng’s expression was icy, slashing out horizontally.

Boom!

With a booming noise, a breathtaking blade light roared forth.

Pfft!

The Blood Saber Demon General’s body was still running, but his head was already tossed high, blood spurting out like a fountain, rising four to five meters high.

Swipe!

Luo Feng beckoned with his hand, the Blood Saber Demon General’s head flew to his palm, and with a nimble step, he shot backward through the air.

Slash!

Just as he moved, a massive two or three-meter-long sword qi surged forward, slicing the Blood Saber Demon General’s body in two, the ground below pierced open with a big hole.

Luo Feng halted his form, flicked his hand, storing the Blood Saber Demon General’s head into the storage ring, and looking at Lu Xiao Yun with a cold smile:

"Lu Xiao Yun, an instant seems to have just passed."

Lu Xiao Yun’s face turned grim; he hadn’t expected Luo Feng to think of using a feigned weakness tactic to lure the Blood Saber Demon General into attacking, thus easily obtaining the head.

Losing to Luo Feng made Lu Xiao Yun very upset, the killing intent in his eyes almost undisguisable, though he was somewhat hesitant.

Their location was close to Dayang City; even if he could kill Luo Feng in one move, it would surely alert Yang Dingtian, the City Lord of Dayang City, whose anger he couldn’t afford.

Swoosh!

While Lu Xiao Yun hesitated, a golden flame shot rapidly, revealing an alluring Linglong figure.

"Lu Xiao Yun!"

Yang Wanyi approached Luo Feng, immediately spotting Lu Xiao Yun, her brow furrowing, showing vigilance: "What are you doing here?"

Lu Xiao Yun’s eyebrow raised seeing Yang Wanyi, putting on a smile:

"I left the Demon Sect’s stronghold, discovered the disciples’ traces, and heard they planned to attack Dayang City, so I hurried over."

"Is that so?"

Yang Wanyi’s gaze was somewhat skeptic, instinctively feeling the other’s words untrustworthy.

"What he said is correct."

Luo Feng nodded, looking at Lu Xiao Yun with a smile: "Earlier, he helped me kill the Blood Saber Demon General, earning me this great merit. Right?"

Lu Xiao Yun’s face stiffened, coldly glaring at Luo Feng, his gaze incredibly dark:

"Since Dayang City is safe, I have matters to attend to, so farewell. Luo Feng, until we meet again!"

He heavily uttered the last four words, his figure like a sword, leaping into the air, the sky silently splitting open, disappearing in an instant.
