Chapter 75
They had only taken a few steps when Lin Feng was taken aback.
He saw that along the spacious main path, there were newly repaired thatched huts stretching along the road, at least dozens in total at a glance.
“Brother Liu, what are these thatched huts for?” Lin Feng asked, puzzled.
Glancing at the stone brick in his hand, Liu Wu sighed, “I built them. Don’t ask me why because I don’t know either, and it was Senior Sister’s order.”
Lin Feng was speechless.
Why build so many thatched huts? Could it be that the never-before-seen Fifth Senior Sister is not as cold as rumored but actually has a cold appearance and a warm heart, caring about the toileting needs of the cultivators from the lower four realms?
But even so, there was no need to build so many!
“Brother Liu, are you sure only two people in the Jiuyan Sect have gone mad?” Lin Feng quickly confirmed.
“Of course, why would I lie to you?” Liu Wu rolled his eyes.
Lin Feng looked at him suspiciously but did not reply.They continued on their way, and Lin Feng peeked into each thatched hut to make sure they were all ordinary before he finally let go of his worries.
As they walked, Liu Wu pointed ahead.
“Senior Sister is over there. You go by yourself because I still have to build thatched huts.”
Lin Feng looked in the direction indicated.
He saw a woman in a white cloud glaze skirt standing at the end of a towering tree, her skirt fluttering in the wind.
She was slightly looking up, her eyes a bit vacant.
The delicate profile of her face was covered in a pale light by the moonlight, making her seem soulless from afar, invoking pity in those who saw her.
Lin Feng was stunned.
The woman in front of him was completely different from Qingning.
Qingning had a pretty face that felt like the warm sun at dawn, heartwarming and full of vitality.
But the woman before him had a thorough beauty.
Without being coquettish, she was like a rare treasure, capturing all attention once seen.
Her frosty demeanor made men feel the urge to conquer her.
“Thump, thump.”
Lin Feng’s heartbeat quickened.
Indeed, a beauty of the highest level!
The rumors were finally right for once!
But looking up at the bright moon in the sky?
Lin Feng pursed his lips.
What’s so interesting about the moon?
Not only did Jiang Lianyue like to stare blankly at it, but the mad Lin Mubai did the same.
After straightening his appearance, Lin Feng stepped forward with a faint smile and greeted, “My name is Lin Feng, and it’s my honor to meet the Fifth Senior Sister.”
“Boom!”
With a powerful aura sweeping through, Jiang Lianyue suddenly turned her head.
Upon seeing Lin Feng’s face, an indescribable malevolence surged wildly in her beautiful eyes as if it wanted to devour her sanity and cause her body to tremble.
Following that was a murderous intent.
The murderous intent was like thousands of ice blades that even the towering ancient tree seemed to tremble under its influence.
Such overwhelming murderous intent made Lin Feng’s hair stand on end!
His whole body felt like it had fallen into an ancient ice cave, even the blood in his veins seemed to freeze!
“Not good! This girl has gone mad too and wants to kill you! Run!” Old Man Tianji exclaimed in shock.
Hearing this, Lin Feng suddenly woke up.
Although he didn’t know what was happening and hadn’t spoken a word to Jiang Lianyue, his instinct to survive made him immediately use all his strength to run back the way he came.
He thought this would at least buy him some time.
But unexpectedly…
As he was running, Lin Feng felt a pain in his back!
The Ice Jade Cold Sword pierced straight through his abdomen!
“Pfft—”
Though it didn’t hit a vital spot, blood still spurted out like a fountain, and Lin Feng’s vision was once again tainted with crimson.
Glancing at the sword tip through his abdomen, he endured the severe pain, turned his head in disbelief, and slowly looked behind him.
He saw the cold mist behind him, and Jiang Lianyue’s stunning face came into view, her fair skin already frosted over.
At this moment, Lin Feng no longer had the heart to appreciate her beauty but was filled with intense fear!
Jiang Lianyue violently pulled out the sword, then slapped Lin Feng across the face with a wave of her hand.
“Slap—”
The crisp sound of the slap was particularly harsh in the night.
Jiang Lianyue didn’t hold back at all.
The cold vital energy in her palm made Lin Feng feel as if he had been struck by an iceberg.
He spat out a mouthful of blood and his body flew through the air.
After drawing an arc in the air, he finally crashed into a nearby thatched hut.
“Boom!”
The thatched hut collapsed instantly, and wood and stones scattered.
“Cough, cough!”
Lin Feng lay on the ground coughing up blood as the dust settled.
But after only two coughs, Jiang Lianyue leaped from afar, descending from the sky, grabbed the back of his head with her hand, and pressed him into the still discernible outline of a latrine pit!
Seeing that pressing him didn’t kill him, she used her elemental power to lift Lin Feng’s head and slammed it into the latrine pit!
Seeing the slow effect of the slamming, she let go and started stomping him with her foot.
After stomping a few times, perhaps feeling it wasn’t satisfying enough, she jumped up and stomped harder!
While stomping, she ranted madly, “Junior Brother, do you see all these thatched huts along the way? These were all prepared by Senior Sister for you. Do you like them?”
Lin Feng was already seeing stars and hearing ringing in his ears.
Hearing her words, he finally understood.
This mad woman had wanted to kill him from the beginning!
No, to press him to death in a latrine hut!
Fortunately, the thatched hut was newly built otherwise he would have been forced to eat excrement today!
“This is too much!!” Lin Feng raged.
At the same time, a cold soul force burst from his body, blasting Jiang Lianyue several zhang away.
Lin Feng tossed several pills into his mouth while seizing the opportunity to increase the distance.
“This girl’s movement, swordplay, and cultivation techniques are all top-notch, and her cultivation level is at the mid-stage of Earthly Origin. The moment she thrust her sword, I used my soul power to resist for you, but it was still pierced instantly by that ice sword! Luckily, she’s crazy and wanted to press you to death in the latrine, so she avoided your vital points!” Old Man Tianji said gravely.
“Should I be happy about that?”
Holding his abdomen, Lin Feng’s face was gloomy, and he couldn’t believe it: “I remember you saying that even a superior spirit sword couldn’t break through your soul power so quickly!”
“Look at her hand,” Old Man Tianji said.
Hearing this, Lin Feng immediately looked over, and his pupils shrank!
On Jiang Lianyue’s hand, there was a layer of blue ice emitting a strange glow, within which ice-blue flames flickered and converged into veins, wriggling like insects.
“The cultivation technique this girl practices is called the Ice Lotus Celestial Annihilation Scripture. As far as I know, it’s the only superior-grade technique that is infinitely close to the divine-grade techniques! And it has a restraining effect on soul power!” Old Man Tianji explained.
A technique that is infinitely close to the divine-grade techniques?
And it restrains soul power?!
Waves of shock surged in Lin Feng’s heart!
Wasn’t this even more powerful than the ancient technique he practiced?
The strength of the ancient techniques lay in their ability to automatically advance as the cultivator’s cultivation base improved.
Although they were much more powerful than other techniques of the same grade, they couldn’t reach the extent of crossing grades.
“Don’t be envious. Although the technique is powerful, one must be alive to practice it,” Old Man Tianji added.
“What do you mean?”
“The side effects of the Ice Lotus Celestial Annihilation Scripture are extremely strong. The slightest mistake can lead to Cold Qi invading the body, requiring constant consumption of Fire Impurity Pills to suppress it. But if you take too many Fire Impurity Pills, they will burn the heart and ash the soul! With both ice and fire within the body, not only will one suffer torment, but sooner or later, the body will explode and die!”
“Not only that, every time she fully activates the Ice Lotus Celestial Annihilation Scripture, she must endure the torment of the Ice Lotus Scorching Soul Fire, just as she is suffering now!”
“I see no reaction from her?”
“That’s because she’s enduring it! Her intent to kill you has overshadowed the pain of her soul being scorched!”
“…”
Lin Feng’s mouth twitched, realizing he had encountered another ruthless person.
But as ruthless as she was, what did it have to do with him?
He had just arrived in the Central Domain and hadn’t done anything!
So why did everyone he met want to kill him?
“If I didn’t know everything about you, I would really suspect that you must have done something to enrage both heaven and man to attract crazy people who are both mad and hate you!” Old Man Tianji also felt a headache.
At this moment, it was pointless to dwell on these matters.
Seeing Jiang Lianyue approaching again, he spoke in a deep voice: “Even with my help using soul power, you can’t defeat her. There’s only one way now. Open your mind, let me possess your body and escape immediately!”
Escape again?
Lin Feng felt aggrieved!
He had just escaped not long ago!
At this rate, he might as well change his name to Lin Runrun!
