C109 (1/2)

Zi Feng was unable to dodge the dagger that had just been aimed at his chest. Just as the dagger was about to pierce Zi Feng's chest, the black-clothed man suddenly stopped and looked down. After a moment of sluggishness, Fa Ming, who had come back to his senses, pulled Zi Feng, who was about to fall, over.

After stabilizing himself, Zi Feng panted as he looked at the man in black. He had been in such danger just now. If it weren't for the fact that You You had taken a bite at that man in black, he would have died today.

When the man in black saw that his efforts had failed, his eyes turned sinister. Seeing You, who had already escaped not too far away, he shook his head helplessly. He had indeed failed today.

Although he was angry, he was still confused. He turned around and was about to leave. He knew that it was not a wise choice for an assassin to face his prey head on. Even if it was an opponent weaker than him, a mature assassin would never reveal his strength.

The black clothed person quickly retreated. He wanted to quickly leave, but the Netherworld Udumbara Flower who had bitten him just now had quickly caught up and blocked his path.

Zi Feng, who was standing behind him, also turned around in panic and hurriedly chased after him. For a moment, the black-clothed man was surrounded by Zi Feng and the others.

The black-clothed man turned around and glanced at Zi Feng with interest. He thought to himself, 'As expected of the top ten martial artists in the top ten, his reaction speed is exceptionally quick!'

Zi Yan saw the raging expression in the black-clothed man's eyes, and her emotions couldn't help but change. Seeing the change in Zi Feng's mood, the expression in the black clothed man's eyes became even more provocative.

However, just as the black-clothed person succeeded on his own, the purple-haired youth laughed strangely and sent a flying sword flying over.

When the black-clothed man saw this sudden change, he was somewhat surprised. But after a moment, he regained his senses and used the dagger in his hand to strike at Zi Feng's sword.

The two swords clashed, causing sparks to fly. At the side, Farmer also refined the buddhist beads in his hand. Seeing this attack, the black-clothed assassin frowned. He didn't think that the two of them would actually cooperate so well.

The Netherworld standing beside Zi Feng similarly used its sharp claws to attack the legs of the black clothed man. Of course, Xiao Bai followed behind the Netherworld and joined in the fun as its two little claws continued to play with them. Not long after, the black-clothed person was forced into a disadvantageous position by them.

Seeing this, they were about to subdue the black-clothed man. Who would have thought that the black-clothed man would suddenly scatter the white powder. Zi Feng and the others' eyes instantly blurred. By the time they clearly saw their surroundings, the black-clothed man was no longer there.

Zi Feng helplessly shook his head when he saw this scene. From the short moment they had exchanged blows, that black-clothed man's cultivation was not bad at all even though he was in the early stage of the Emptiness Realm.

Seeing the man in black who tried to assassinate him becoming stronger and stronger, Zi Feng frowned. Throughout the entire cultivation world, only a handful of cultivators were able to reach the Emptiness Realm. Currently, most of the ordinary cultivators were only at the Emptiness Realm. Those who were able to break through that barrier were mostly those experienced old sects.

Fa Ming, who was standing to the side, recovered from the earlier scene and asked Zi Feng, ”What happened?”

He smiled helplessly and took out the pale yellow jade pendant from his chest. When he saw the pale yellow jade pendant again, Fa Ming understood a bit more.

Zi Feng squatted down and twisted the white powder on the ground, then suddenly stood up. He stared at the northwest corner, as though he had thought of something.

Farmer, who was standing next to Zi Feng, asked, ”What's wrong?” Zi Feng turned around and said, ”Look.” As he spoke, he raised his right hand that was covered in white powder. Fa Ming looked at the white powder and said doubtfully, ”Isn't this the Bewitching Powder that the man in black used to escape?”

When Zi Feng heard Fa Ming's words, he smiled and said, ”That's right, it was left behind by that black-clothed man.” He paused for a moment before continuing in a somewhat aged voice, ”Many years ago, I came to this Western Region. At that time, I passed by a small village and saw …”

As he spoke, he waved his right hand, and the white powder followed him. Hearing this, Fa Ming seemed to understand something. He said with an excited expression, ”In other words, we have a goal now.”

Zi Feng nodded in response as he heard Farmer Ming's excited voice.

Now that the situation had developed to this point, both of them couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. Stepping into the Western Border, they had always been walking randomly, aimlessly, and that kind of feeling made them very uncomfortable.

Now that they finally had a destination, even if it was a tiger cave or a dragon lagoon, they would still dare to go through it.

An instant later, they readied their hearts and under the lead of Zi Feng, they set off on their journey.

The short period of half a month was long and long. Zi Feng sighed in relief as he looked at the faintly discernible existence before him. He turned his head to Fa Ming and said, ”We have arrived.” With that, he started to descend.

Standing beside Zi Feng was another person who had an alarmed look on his face as he looked at the ordinary looking little town. There was a faint trace of unease in his heart. It was as if he was treading on thin ice in the midst of the great wasteland.
