I became the Open Source Saint Ancestor in the Cultivation World

"Quickly, protect the master!"

Faced with Duan Feng's direct attack, Xue Tiande's henchmen all retreated to defend.

Duan Feng shouted and unleashed a powerful strike, "Soaring Dragon in the Sky."

"Pfft!" The first person to be hit instantly coughed up blood and was thrown out, crashing heavily next to Xue Tiande, his eyes wide open.

"oops……"

Xue Tiande screamed in terror and scrambled away as fast as he could.

Duan Feng stared intently at him, then clapped his hands twice more, sending the three flying.

However, he almost gave up his defense and was struck in the back with a palm and stabbed in the right shoulder with a sword.

But he seemed to feel no pain. He suddenly slapped several people in front of him away with a few palm strikes, and then raised his right hand, using the Dragon-Capturing Hand to sweep directly towards Fan Tiande, who was slumped on the ground more than ten feet away.

Fan Tiande felt his obese body suddenly lighten, as if bound by an invisible force and being dragged backward.

"Ah... Help!" he screamed in terror.

Just then, a fiery snake descended from the sky, coiled between the two, and Fan Tiande instantly felt a release, then fell forward and landed face-first in the dirt.

Duan Feng stumbled back several steps, his face filled with shock.

"Song Tao, you've come at the right time! Quickly kill this wretched brat for me!" Fan Tiande was overjoyed to see his savior and quickly got up from the ground.

Song Tao felt helpless. Why did this father and son always seem to attract such troublesome opponents? They had to use the Fire Serpent Talisman again.

There was no other way; we had already invested so much. If we didn't continue to invest, we wouldn't only fail to gain favor, but we would also risk offending the Xue family.

Without hesitation, he quickly formed several hand seals.

"go."

The fire serpent tumbled in the air and rushed straight at Duan Feng.

This time, Duan Feng dared not be careless in the slightest. He unleashed twelve palm strikes in succession with the Eighteen Palms of the Soaring Dragon. Waves of surging energy crashed against the fire snake, but they were dissolved one by one as if they were mud oxen entering the sea.

Duan Feng's expression changed, and he continued to unleash his inner force, striking out with each palm: "Leaping Dragon in the Abyss... Dragon Soaring in the Wilds... Swimming Dragon in the Sky..."

Finally, the fire serpent slowed its forward momentum.

Song Tao frowned, made several hand seals in quick succession, and then pointed forward sharply. A beam of spiritual light struck the fire snake, and its eyes instantly brightened. The fire snake opened its mouth and charged forward.

bang bang...

The force of the burst of energy scattered and exploded, shattering the thick bluestone slabs on the ground.

Duan Feng's internal energy was rapidly depleted, yet he still couldn't stop the fire serpent from approaching.

Upon seeing this, Zhu Wanqing was shocked and immediately put down her opponent and turned to pounce on Song Tao.

Before he could get very far, his opponent slapped him on the back.

With a "pfft," she opened her mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood that fell to the ground.

"Junior Sister." Duan Feng's mind went blank for a moment, and his internal energy was disrupted. The air current in front of him was directly pushed away by the fire snake.

With a loud bang, the fire snake slammed into Duan Feng's chest, sending him flying backward.

Song Tao breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this person had expended a lot of energy beforehand, otherwise it would have been quite troublesome.

"Senior brother..." Seeing the charred remains in front of Duan Feng, Zhu Wanqing screamed in anguish and rushed towards Duan Feng despite her injuries.

"You bastard, how dare you hurt my little beauty!" Xue Tiande was furious when he saw Zhu Wanqing injured.

The guard who had successfully launched the sneak attack was startled and immediately stopped in his tracks.

Just as Song Tao was about to turn Duan Feng to ashes, he heard this and quickly changed his gesture. The fire snake grazed Duan Feng's body and retreated back to his side.

"Senior brother..." Zhu Wanqing helped Duan Feng sit up.

Duan Feng's face was ashen, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, saying, "Junior Sister, I still can't protect you."

"No, you've done very well, it's just bad luck that you ran into a cultivator." Zhu Wanqing burst into tears, raising her hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, but she couldn't wipe it clean no matter what she did.

"Little beauty, as long as you submit to me, we can turn hostility into friendship, and your senior brother can receive timely medical treatment. What do you say?" Xue Tiande said with a smile from not far away.

"Fine, as long as you keep your word, I can go with you," Zhu Wanqing said through gritted teeth.

Xue Tiande immediately beamed with joy: "Of course I keep my word. As long as we do something good, your senior brother is my senior brother, isn't he?"

Duan Feng coughed up blood and roared, "No, Junior Sister, if you go with him, I will never live on my own!"

Xue Tiande was startled: "Senior brother, you're still young, don't do anything foolish!"

"Don't worry, just focus on recovering. Once you're healed, you'll enjoy endless wealth and luxury, and there will be many beautiful women I can introduce to you."

"You shameless scoundrel, you'll die a horrible death!" Duan Feng cursed, while tightly gripping Zhu Wanqing.

Zhu Wanqing gave him a deep look, then said "heartlessly," "If that's the case, then you stay here and hold them off. I'm leaving now."

After saying that, she struggled to break free from Duan Feng's grasp, leaped to the side and fled, leaving behind a voice that said, "If you dare to harm my senior brother, I will haunt you even as a ghost."

"Hey, hurry up and chase after them!"

"Song Tao, you go after her yourself, don't let her escape!" Xue Tiande shouted anxiously, adding, "Don't hurt her."

Duan Feng struggled to get up, trying to stop them, but he couldn't catch up at all and was even ambushed and knocked down.

"Are you deaf? Didn't you hear Madam say that my senior brother's life must not be harmed?"

Upon hearing this, the group of people who were besieging Duan Feng immediately became hesitant and fearful. Duan Feng seized an opportunity, quickly broke free from these people, and chased after Zhu Wanqing in the direction she had left.

Those chasing him knew he was badly injured and were afraid of killing him, so they didn't dare to ambush him from behind. They just followed closely behind and didn't even dare to get too close.

Since I can't kill them outright and I have to guard against their last stand, staying away and following them is the wise choice, since they can't escape anyway.

Just as they expected, Duan Feng was ultimately too badly injured. As he stepped over a roof ridge to continue his leap, he spat out a mouthful of blood, his body went limp, and he crashed onto the roof, rolling down.

Seeing this, some people were preparing to leap away quickly, but when they saw their companions stop, they didn't understand why, but they also stopped.

After a short while, seeing that no one had moved, someone spoke up: "If he dies, it has nothing to do with us."

"Yes, let's go together. If the master asks, we'll say he died from a fall while trying to be brave."

It turned out that they hadn't rushed over earlier because they were afraid that Duan Feng's death would be blamed on them.

Now that they had reached an agreement, they leaped together into the alley where Duan Feng had fallen.

In an instant, everyone was dumbfounded: "Where did they go?"

There was no one in the narrow alley that stretched as far as the eye could see.

"We've all been tricked by him. He must have pretended to be that badly injured on purpose."

"Look, there's blood here, hurry and chase after them."

Without hesitation, the group quickly followed the trail of blood northward.

But not long after they left, the bricks in the empty corner suddenly started to move, and then two figures appeared. One of them was Duan Feng, who had already fallen into a coma.
