I logged into Mr. Zombie

Sensing its impending death, the fire unicorn quickly lay down beside Tan Wenjie, straining to open its eyes wide in an attempt to awaken his love for cute little animals.

"Look at it, it knows it's going to die, and it actually stretched out its head. It truly deserves to be called a divine beast." Tan Wenjie exclaimed, raising the knife in his right hand.

Fire Qilin: "??"

Its scales stood up, and the flames shot up dramatically.

He wanted to cling to a powerful figure and surrender, but when did he say he was willing to stick his neck out and willingly die?

Nie Feng said from the side, "Perhaps the Fire Qilin wants to submit to you."

Nie Feng was a little envious when he said this. How cool would it be to ride a divine beast of this level that would willingly submit? Now he suddenly understood why Qin Shuang wanted to ride a divine beast mount. Everyone wants to ride a good mount.

“I don’t need a mount.” Tan Wenjie shook his head; he was very interested in weapons made from Qilin blood.

The fire unicorn raised its head and let out a loud "roar".

As one of the four divine beasts, it would rather die than submit.

"boom!"

The fist slammed into the fire qilin's forehead, the immense force shoving its head directly into the ground of the cave, the bones making a sickeningly loud "crack" sound.

Nie Feng stared in disbelief, then heard Tan Wenjie ask, "What kind of weapons can a Qilin horn be used to make?"

Outside Lingyun Cave, beneath the Buddha statue, Qin Shuang and the Mud Bodhisattva grandfather and grandson stood on a small boat drifting with the current.

The cause of the ice storm that had just struck was still unclear when a series of loud noises followed, accompanied by the screams of wild beasts.

Qin Shuang swallowed hard: "That cry, was it a fire qilin?"

He had been guessing that his junior brother Feng would suffer terribly after being captured by the Fire Qilin, but he never imagined that the situation would turn out differently and what kind of inhuman torture the Fire Qilin had endured inside!
The clay bodhisattva nodded with difficulty. To torture a beast like this was truly worse than a beast.

"Hahahaha!"

A masked man in a black robe flew in from a distance and reached out his hand straight for the clay Buddha.

"Watch out!" Qin Shuang was startled. As she leaped, she kicked the boat with her right foot, sending it hurtling towards Lingyun Cave.

The Mud Bodhisattva is the person Xiong Ba is looking for, and he absolutely cannot be taken away by someone with a mysterious background.

"Heavenly Frost Fist!" Qin Shuang clenched her fist, about to smash it forward, when she was attacked by a surging, immense force.

His Heavenly Frost Fist, which had swept through countless top-tier martial arts masters and could condense water into ice, was disrupted by a single punch from a distance.

"what!"

Qin Shuang screamed and flew backward, wedging herself into the water.

The mysterious man didn't care about Qin Shuang's life or death. His body seemed to be walking on clouds, twirling in the air, and heading towards the Mud Bodhisattva again.

"Wind God Leg!"

A powerful voice rang out from inside Lingyun Cave.

A hint of disdain flashed in the mysterious man's eyes. He confidently twisted his waist and kicked out to meet the attack, showing great confidence that he could gain the upper hand in leg techniques.

The two leg-shaped gusts of wind collided in mid-air and vanished without a trace.

A hint of surprise flashed in the mysterious man's eyes. He turned around and kicked again, and the wind became stronger and fiercer than before.

"boom!"

Inside Lingyun Cave, Nie Feng rushed out with his hands behind his back, sweeping his right leg like a spear, easily cutting through the wind, and kicking the mysterious man in the chest in disbelief.

"Pfft—" The mysterious man coughed up blood and flew backward.

"This insignificant power dares to try and steal the clay Buddha?" Nie Feng landed on the water's edge and flicked his sleeve.

Beneath her flowing long hair were a pair of sharp eyes, filled with disdain.

The mysterious man had just climbed out of the water when he heard these words and couldn't help but spit out another mouthful of blood.

He took a deep breath, wanting to fight again, but then he heard Qin Shuang shout, "Junior Brother Feng, I'm here to help you!"

Nie Feng's strength was subtly superior to his own, and with Qin Shuang added to the mix, he had no chance of winning.

Without even uttering a harsh word, the mysterious man leaped out of the water and hurriedly left.

"He's lucky he escaped quickly!" Qin Shuang sneered.

Nie Feng nodded in agreement. Their primary task now was to send the Mud Bodhisattva back to the World Society.

"Junior Brother Feng, it seems your strength has increased quite a bit," Qin Shuang said.

“Yes, Senior Brother.” Nie Feng nodded. “I ate the Blood Bodhi from Lingyun Cave, and my internal strength increased several times over. Even my martial arts level has made great progress.”

"Blood Bodhi, several times more?" Qin Shuang wondered if she had misheard.

Any precious magical fruit that increases one's internal strength by even a few points after consumption is considered a huge benefit; to say it increases it several times over is simply an exaggeration.

But Nie Feng had already presented a Blood Bodhi to Qin Shuang.

“I took a lot from inside,” Nie Feng said when he saw Qin Shuang hesitate. “Enough to eat.”

Upon hearing this, Qin Shuang no longer stood on ceremony. He took the fruit and put it in his mouth. In an instant, he felt his internal energy rapidly increasing, but he did not experience what Nie Feng had described. In fact, the increase in internal energy was not significant; his body only felt warm for a while.

Mistakenly believing that her senses were malfunctioning, Qin Shuang gathered her inner strength into her fists and waved them at the air.

However, the effect of the punches was mediocre, with almost no noticeable improvement.

"Junior Brother Feng, do you still have any Blood Bodhi?"

"Yes, I have."

Despite Qin Shuang's relentless efforts, he consumed a total of five Blood Bodhisattvas, yet his strength increased by less than one-tenth. Moreover, consuming too many exotic fruits caused Qin Shuang's body to swell.

Seeing this, even Nie Feng began to stop Qin Shuang from continuing to consume the Blood Bodhi.

The food is good, but if your body can't handle it, eating too much is just courting death.

"That shouldn't be the case." Qin Shuang was completely baffled.

As they left Lingyun Cave, the group saw Tan Wenjie carrying the Fire Qilin, one of the legendary Four Divine Beasts, which had been packaged up and was now skinned and broken.

All of this was accomplished by "Chan Ho-nam, the boss of Causeway Bay" Tam Man-kit. He dragged the corpse of the Fire Qilin along, and the blood stained the surrounding environment. Before long, a group of powerful beasts would come to snatch the corpse of the Fire Qilin, following the scent of blood.

“The blood of the Fire Qilin is a great tonic for many wild beasts,” Nie Feng said. “Just one drop can change one’s fate. Senior Chen, isn’t it too dangerous for us to drag the Fire Qilin’s corpse across the river like this?”

He originally wanted to call him "Young Hero," but after realizing the huge gap in strength between himself and Tan Wenjie, Nie Feng obediently changed his address to "Senior."

"Danger?"

Tan Wenjie glanced at the fire unicorn at the stern, then at the large number of fish following behind.

They were all attracted and gathered by the blood of the Fire Qilin. In time, these fish will not only grow in size and become much stronger, but may even show signs of dragon-like characteristics.

Faced with this threat, Tan Wenjie calmly said, "Don't worry."

Deep beneath the water, a crimson dragon, its entire body enveloped in scorching flames, gazed upwards. It silently opened its blood-red maw and swallowed all the aquatic fish that had devoured the blood of the Fire Qilin.

All the way to the shore, the situation that Nie Feng and the others were wary of did not occur; there was no water monster whose strength had increased dramatically after consuming human blood.

Nie Feng reached out to help Tan Wenjie pull the Fire Qilin ashore, but before his hand could touch him, he was locked onto by a powerful force.

Then, "Boom!" The water splashed back, and the entire surface of the water was blown apart.

Nie Feng noticed that a giant red shadow seemed to emerge from the water, swallow the corpse of the Fire Qilin whole, and then plunged back into the water, disappearing without a trace.

"Fire Qilin!" Qin Shuang exclaimed in regret.

A single scale can be forged into an unparalleled divine weapon, a drop of blood created the mad Nie family, and there's also the Qilin Arm, etc. This fire Qilin can be said to be a treasure from head to toe.

Now they've snatched this treasure away right in front of him; no wonder he's furious.

Tan Wenjie nodded, saying calmly, "Yes, it's such a pity." Everyone: "..."

They didn't sense any regret in Tan Wenjie's tone at all.

……

The World Association.

"puff!"

Despite his forced composure, Xiong Ba returned to his room and couldn't help but vomit blood.

"I never expected Nie Feng's strength to improve so quickly!"

Although he sent Qin Shuang and Nie Feng to find Mud Bodhisattva, it did not mean that he completely trusted his two disciples.

He never expected that Nie Feng's strength would improve so rapidly, and he was kicked away by Nie Feng because he was outmaneuvered.

The update didn't include me!
At the same time, his desire to seize the clay bodhisattva and unravel the prophecy of his later life grew increasingly urgent.

For the next period of time, Xiong Ba focused on recuperating from his injuries.

Although he couldn't snatch the Mud Bodhisattva back by brute force, Nie Feng's strength has increased so much that he will definitely be able to bring the Mud Bodhisattva back intact.

"Master, Master Feng and Master Shuang are back, and they've brought two distinguished guests with them!" Wen Chou Chou shouted loudly before even entering the door.

Xiong Ba opened his eyes, which flashed with golden light. After taking a few deep breaths, the light in his eyes subsided.

He's still the same domineering and imposing Xiong Ba!
"Go and invite them!"

Yes~~

Before long, four people entered the room.

The clay Buddha, his two disciples Qin Shuang and Nie Feng, and a passerby.

Xiong Ba glanced at Tan Wenjie briefly before quickly looking away, showing no interest in the man.

“Master, we have brought the clay Buddha back.”

"Hmm." Xiong Ba nodded. "You did a good job. I still have some things to say to Mud Bodhisattva. You may leave now... Wait, also arrange accommodation for this friend."

"Yes!"

Xiong Ba didn't take Tan Wenjie seriously, but Nie Feng and Qin Shuang were different; they regarded Tan Wenjie as a top expert.

After everyone had left, Xiong Ba asked the Mud Bodhisattva, "The Nine Heavens Dragon Roar that shook the heavens and earth was a prophecy you gave me for the first half of my life. What about the second half?"

The Mud Bodhisattva was very pleased this time, saying, "The dragon's roar in the nine heavens startles the world, and the wind and clouds gather to swim underwater."

"A confluence of events?" Xiong Ba's eyes twitched; he had already considered the worst-case scenario.

But the clay bodhisattva nodded and said, "That's right, success and failure both depend on the wind and clouds."

"Hahaha, what a perfect example of success and failure both stemming from the wind and clouds. As long as I..." Xiong Ba planned to take advantage of the situation and kill Nie Feng directly, and then kill Bu Jingyun who was heading to Wushuang City to seize the Wushuang Sword, he could defy fate.

But this idea collapsed almost instantly.

He was no match for Nie Feng at all, not even needing to wait for a stroke of luck.

All of this needs to be planned carefully. Xiong Ba's thoughts raced, and soon he came up with a good idea.

Let the winds of change turn against each other, and let them kill one another!

……

"Thank you, senior."

Nie Feng solemnly accepted the Bloodthirsty Saber. He had finally waited for the time when this senior Chen Haonan had had enough of his family's heirloom saber, and the saber was returned to its rightful owner.

Tan Wenjie: "Don't be so polite, I need you to do something for me."

"Just give the order, and as long as it's not done by evil forces, Nie Feng will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

"It's not that scary. I want to slay the dragon, but I need a few helpers."

Now that the world level has been raised, Tan Wenjie also plans to find dragons that may not have existed before, and hunt them to obtain their essence.

By keeping the protagonist by your side, there's a high chance you'll achieve your goals.

"Slaying a dragon?" Nie Feng was startled.

But considering that even the Fire Qilin was beaten to death by Tan Wenjie's wild punches, with its tendons and bones torn out, it wasn't so hard for him to accept killing another divine dragon.

Nie Feng immediately said, "Nie Feng is willing to risk his life to help!"

Tan Wenjie said, "I already said, I won't take your life."

As they were talking, Qin Shuang arrived.

"Junior Brother Feng, I have told Master everything."

Unlike Qin Shuang, Nie Feng felt a heavy weight in his heart after hearing from Tan Wenjie that Xiong Ba was his father's killer, and he never told Xiong Ba about the changes in himself.

"Thank you, Senior Brother," Nie Feng said. "Could it be that Master is looking for me?"

Qin Shuang then said, "Master said he wants to see how much your strength has improved, and whether you have gone down the wrong path."

"I'll go right now."

Nie Feng went to Xiong Ba to report his situation, without hiding anything, and even took out the batch of Blood Bodhi he had obtained and gave it to Xiong Ba.

Xiong Ba was as excited as Qin Shuang when he consumed the Blood Bodhi, but his body did not become stronger as he had imagined, and his strength increased very little.

Where exactly did things go wrong?
Unable to understand the situation, Xiong Ba decided to sow discord by making Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun enemies. If Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun were to lose one of their fingers, Xiong Ba would be able to defy fate and change his destiny.

Xiong Ba: "Oh, wind."

“Master.” Nie Feng lowered his head, his eyes flickering.

Based on Xiong Ba's style, he could easily deduce that his father and mother must have been killed by him.

In his daily life, Xiong Ba was not a good person.

"You must practice your skills diligently. Also, I plan to marry Kong Ci to you."

Nie Feng's eyes widened suddenly, becoming larger than his nostrils.

Unexpectedly, Master had kept the news from Senior Brother Qin Shuang and told him directly.

"Junior sister, will she... will she agree?" Nie Feng's mind was in chaos, and he even temporarily put aside the hatred for killing his father and mother.

Good things came too fast; he couldn't quite adjust.

"I've already calculated it. The wedding will be on an auspicious day in three days!" Xiong Ba said with a smile. "Don't worry, I've already asked your junior sister, and she said she's willing to marry you."

"Thank you for your kindness, Master!"

Nie Feng left with great joy.

Xiong Ba squinted, and after a while, one of his men returned with the information they had gathered.

"Reporting to the leader, after Nie Feng left your place, he immediately went to find that man named Chen Haonan and has been spending all his time with him ever since."

"Chan Ho-nam!"

Xiong Ba suspected that Nie Feng's dramatic increase in strength must be inextricably linked to Chen Haonan.

According to Qin Shuang's report, "Chen Haonan" was able to kill Huo Qilin with a flurry of punches, so he is probably a master of external martial arts. To defeat him, we must break his weak point and strike when he is vulnerable.

So where is his Achilles' heel? (End of Chapter)
