Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

Faced with Lu Feng's question, Leng Ying's pretty face froze slightly, and she was speechless for a moment, as if she didn't know whether her current actions were worthwhile.

"That's enough."

Just as Leng Ying was stunned, she saw Lu Feng wave his hand again, and the killing intent on his body gradually dissipated. "Since Miss Leng is so sincere, then I will do her a favor, but..."

Changing his tone, Lu Feng looked again at Cheng Xuyuan, who was lying on the verge of death and covered in blood not far away. His tone remained cold and stern, "He may be spared the death penalty, but he will not be pardoned!"

"I can spare Cheng's life, but his cultivation level is absolutely unacceptable, lest this bastard become a mad dog and bite people indiscriminately in the future. What does Miss Leng think?"

"this...!"

Upon hearing that Lu Feng intended to cripple Cheng Xuyuan's cultivation, Leng Ying's pupils constricted slightly, and he was momentarily at a loss for words.

After all, cultivation is the foundation of a martial artist and the source of their power.

Once a martial artist's cultivation is crippled, it means that he has lost all his power. Not only does he have to start cultivating from scratch, but he is also almost no different from a cripple!

"Lu Feng, could we change the terms...?"

After hesitating for a long time, Leng Ying tentatively asked again in a soft voice.

As Cheng Xuyuan's sworn sister, she knew his temperament and personality very well. If she were to cripple Cheng Xuyuan's cultivation now, it would be no different from killing him!

"Miss Leng, it seems you haven't figured out the situation yet?"

Faced with Leng Ying's probing, Lu Feng shook his head again and said coldly, "Right now, it's not me begging you, but you begging me."

"And the thing I hate most is haggling...!"

Upon hearing this, Leng Ying first turned to look at Cheng Xuyuan, who was barely breathing beside her, then bit her lip and nodded sharply, as if she had finally made up her mind.

"Wh-what?!"

Hearing that Lu Feng was about to cripple his cultivation, Cheng Xuyuan, already severely injured, was enraged and coughed up another mouthful of blood. "You little beast, how dare you...!"

"I'm going to kill you today...!"

Seemingly unwilling to be humiliated by Lu Feng, Cheng Xuyuan, who had been lying on the ground, roared and suddenly got up from the ground, lunging forward like a mad tiger, his eyes filled with anger and resentment.

"don't want!"

"Fourth brother, no...!"

Seeing Cheng Xuyuan disregard his injuries and launch another attack on Lu Feng, Leng Ying and Xia Zhenhu, who were standing to the side, also changed their expressions slightly and wanted to stop him.

However, it was all too late!

"court death!"

Just as Cheng Xuyuan launched his attack, Lu Feng's killing intent resurfaced, and he immediately unleashed a powerful punch aimed directly at Cheng Xuyuan's vital point.

Thud! Pfft...!

Gara's fist strike was like an arrow released from a bow, instantly piercing Cheng Xuyuan's vital point. The latter's body trembled, and then he collapsed to the ground, blood splattering everywhere. His eyes gradually turned white and lifeless, and he completely lost his breath!

Thus, Cheng Xuyuan, the "Ape Spirit," one of the high-ranking members of the Five Spirits Society, met his end!

Swish!

Lu Feng remained calm after killing Cheng Xuyuan with a single punch, as if he had merely dealt with an insignificant piece of trash.

As the saying goes, "Heaven's sins may be forgiven, but self-inflicted sins cannot be escaped!"

Originally, he intended to do Leng Ying a favor, since the latter's offer was indeed tempting. This deal would be a sure win for Lu Feng, but Cheng Xuyuan insisted on courting death!

"Lu Feng, what are you doing...!"

Looking at Cheng Xuyuan's blood-soaked corpse on the ground, Leng Ying was speechless for a moment. Her lips trembled slightly, as if she had not expected the ending to be like this.

"Fourth brother, why do you have to... Hey!"

Xia Zhenhu glanced at Cheng Xuyuan's corpse on the ground, his brows furrowed, as if he had a thousand words to say, but in the end he couldn't utter a single one, and finally let out a heavy sigh.

After all, the other party originally had a sliver of a chance to live. Even if he lost his cultivation, he could still eke out a living. However, Cheng Xuyuan insisted on taking the initiative to attack Lu Feng, thus courting death!

"Now that Cheng Xuyuan is dead, why are you two still unwilling to leave? Could it be that you intend to kill me to avenge Cheng Xuyuan?"

Seeing Leng Ying and Xia Zhenhu both standing there dumbfounded, their eyes fixed on Cheng Xuyuan's corpse, Lu Feng also stood with his hands behind his back, his tone still calm and composed.

Although he now has very little Yuan Power left in his Dantian, and his strength is only one-tenth of what it used to be, and he can no longer use Super Dragon Breath and Hurricane Blade Storm, it is the Academy Competition after all, and there are elders such as Liu Lanyu sitting next to him.

Therefore, Lu Feng was not worried at all about the retaliation from the Five Spirits Society and Leng Ying and others, after all, the rule of Falling Star Academy that fellow disciples must not kill each other was there.

"Revenge? No, this is all Cheng Xuyuan's own fault; he has no one else to blame..."

Faced with Lu Feng's probing, Leng Ying shook her head, a look of relief crossing her pretty face. Then she turned and walked towards the outside of Lingtai Peak. "Second Brother, let's go."

"Fifth Sister, you..."

Seeing this, Xia Zhenhu was also stunned for a moment, his tone hesitant and unsure what to say.

Although Cheng Xuyuan deserved to die, the group of friends were still sworn brothers, and seeing him die tragically on the spot, Xia Zhenhu naturally couldn't let it go.

"Second Brother, it's all over. There's one more thing I want to say to you. Come with me..."

Leng Ying glanced back at Xia Zhenhu again, his brows furrowed, and then spoke in a low voice, as if he had something else on his mind.

Seeing this, Xia Zhenhu did not linger and immediately followed closely behind.

"Brother Lu, actually, our Five Elements Society isn't entirely composed of bullies and tyrannical individuals as you imagine. However... well! Never mind, farewell...!"

Before leaving, Xia Zhenhu also turned back to look at Lu Feng behind him, a hint of melancholy appearing on his dark face, as if he wanted to explain something, but for a moment he didn't know how to start.

"He really left?"

Seeing Leng Ying and Xia Zhenhu leave together, Lu Feng was also slightly surprised.

After all, Leng Ying and the others were sworn brothers with Cheng Xuyuan in the past, and their relationship was very close. Now that he had killed Cheng Xuyuan, it was illogical that he had not been retaliated against by the former.

"Could it be that the Five Elements Society is truly facing a crisis of division and internal discord, just as rumored...?"

Thinking of this, Lu Feng stroked his chin, a thoughtful expression on his face.

After all, only this one situation can explain the unusual behavior of Leng Ying and the others.

"Second brother, fifth sister, now that our fourth brother has been brutally murdered by a petty scoundrel, are you two really planning to just walk away like this?"

Just as Leng Ying and the others were about to leave Lingtai Peak, a cold male voice suddenly came from afar, causing the former to tremble and freeze on the spot.

"That voice... is it my older brother?!"

Xia Zhenhu looked up in surprise at the direction of the person who had spoken, while Leng Ying, standing beside him, also looked slightly surprised and stopped in his tracks.
