Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"Fellow Daoist Shen, are you sure you want me to release him?"

Lu Feng glanced once more at Shen Tianzhong, who was kneeling on the ground, and said in a meaningful tone.

Right now, even if the two of them join forces, they are no match for the opposing barbarian dragon. If they release Shen Yunyou as a hostage, they will most likely face certain death!

However, Shen Tianzhong remained unmoved by Lu Feng's final reminder and continued to kneel.

Clearly, the other party cared more about the safety of his younger brother, Shen Yunyou, than his own life.

"Hey! If I'd known this would happen, I shouldn't have meddled in other people's business today..."

Seeing this, Lu Feng also sighed helplessly, then threw Shen Yunyou to the ground, clearly giving up his plan to take him hostage.

Because he knew Shen Tianzhong's stubbornness all too well; it was like a rock in a latrine—stinky and hard.

Once the other party makes a decision, they basically won't turn back.

Moreover, with Manlong, a powerful expert at the third level of the Yuanhai Realm, watching from the side, even if Lu Feng has Shen Yunyou as a hostage, he may not be able to escape unscathed!

"Cough cough cough...!"

Slowly struggling to his feet, Shen Yunyou, disregarding his severe injuries, looked up at Shen Tianzhong again, then gritted his teeth, "Shen Tianzhong! Do you think I'd be grateful to you for this...!"

"I will never forget the blood debt of the massacre of the Shen family, even until my death, and you will pay for it with your life...!"

"Yunyou, you're wrong! The one who wiped out the Shen family wasn't me, but the infamous Wusheng Demonic Sect...!"

Interrupting Shen Yunyou again, Shen Tianzhong's expression turned solemn. He then looked at Manlong beside him, "Although I don't know how you escaped that calamity back then, or why you're now involved with the remnants of the Wusheng Sect, your true enemy isn't me, but this man from the Wusheng Sect before you!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Before the other person could finish speaking, Shen Yunyou burst into laughter again, as if he had heard something ridiculous. "Shen Tianzhong! You still want to lie to me now?!"

"Twelve years ago, on the day the Shen family was massacred, I was still young, so my parents hid me under some hidden ruins and used a talisman to isolate me from any signs of life, which is how I managed to escape the calamity..."

"But when I crawled out from under the rubble again, I witnessed you kill Uncle Nine, Aunt Yu, and Xiao Rou!"

Shen Yunyou's face was pale and his expression was agitated, as if he had recalled a painful memory that he could not bear to look back on.

"On the day the Shen family was wiped out, Uncle Jiu, Aunt Yu, and Xiao Rou did indeed die at my hands. However, there were other hidden reasons behind it all, and I had no choice but to take action back then..."

"shut up!"

Shen Tianzhong was about to explain when Shen Yunyou interrupted him sharply, clearly unwilling to listen to any more of his nonsense. "If it weren't for Manlong saving me back then, I wouldn't be alive today...!"

"Furthermore, the Wusheng Sect is definitely not the remnant of the demonic sect you scum claim it to be, but rather... wow!"

The words stopped abruptly. Shen Yunyou's face turned slightly pale, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. At the same time, his body slumped to the side, and he completely lost consciousness.

"Little cripple!"

Seeing Shen Yunyou cough up blood and faint, Manlong frowned slightly. He immediately rushed towards Shen Yunyou and helped him up.

"That damned little beast! Absolutely unforgivable...!"

With his right palm gently pressed against Shen Yunyou's abdomen, he discovered that the other party's injuries were extremely severe, and even his eight extraordinary meridians were broken inch by inch. Manlong was also furious and almost went berserk!

After all, Shen Yunyou was not only his only personally taught disciple, but also a great help to him in his future revenge against the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Sect.

Seeing that Lu Feng had almost crippled Shen Yunyou, Manlong was naturally furious and his murderous intent was fully revealed!

Swish! Snap...!

Gently placing the unconscious Shen Yunyou on the ground, the next moment Manlong ripped off his black cloak and skull mask, finally revealing his true face.

The man was muscular, with a shiny bald head and a majestic blue dragon tattooed on his chest. He also had a terrifying knife scar near his left eye. He was surrounded by a menacing aura, clearly a ruthless character who had been licking blood from the edge of a knife for many years!

"Tch, so this guy's finally deciding to take action himself...!"

Lu Feng glanced at the murderous-looking dragon opposite him, his eyes narrowing slightly, a sense of apprehension creeping into his heart.

After all, following the Yun family's rebellion, his only mid-grade Xuan-level magic weapon, the "Sky-Covering Pearl," was completely destroyed.

With Lu Feng's current strength, his chances of defeating the Savage Dragon, who is at the third level of the Yuanhai Realm, head-on are less than 30%, or even lower!

"Brother Lu, I'm so sorry...!"

"It's all my fault for acting impulsively, causing you to fall into danger again!"

Seeing the savage dragon attack again, Shen Tianzhong frowned slightly, then apologized in a deep voice, seemingly feeling somewhat sorry for Lu Feng.

After all, if he hadn't insisted on staying in the first place, Lu Feng wouldn't have turned back now, and all that mess wouldn't have happened!

"Fellow Daoist Shen, there's no point in saying all this now. If the two of us want to leave the Shen family ancestral mausoleum alive, the only way is to join forces and deal with this muscular bald guy..."

Faced with Shen Tianzhong's apology, Lu Feng merely shook his head slightly, and then a remarkable aura also erupted from his body.

Since this battle is unavoidable, we can only fight our way out!

After all, the word "surrender" doesn't exist in his dictionary!

"Brother Lu, this man isn't some muscular bald guy, but rather one of the four former protectors of the Wusheng Sect, the Beast Protector Manlong. His strength should not be underestimated...!"

Seeing Lu Feng's aura surging, as if he were about to fight the Savage Dragon head-on, Shen Tianzhong also gave a deep reminder, a hint of fear appearing on his face.

"Beast Guardian, Savage Dragon?"

Lu Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, his face showing a thoughtful expression.

At first, he found it strange that the barbarian dragon did not have the token and fire lotus mark exclusive to the Wusheng Sect. It turned out that the other party was not an ordinary Wusheng Sect member, but one of the four protectors of the Wusheng Sect!

Moreover, Manlong's strength and cultivation far surpassed that of Liao Fusheng, the Poison Guardian whom Lu Feng had encountered in the past, and was even comparable to several elders of Falling Star Academy. He was not someone that ordinary Spirit Soul Realm martial artists could rival!

"Fellow Daoist Shen, let's join forces and fight our way out...!"

Composing himself, Lu Feng gave Shen Tianzhong a wink, and the next moment he leaped up and attacked the savage dragon opposite him.

Although the other party only has the cultivation of the fifth level of the Spirit Soul Realm and can't help much at the moment, more people means more strength, so we can only try our best as a last resort!

bass!

Seeing Lu Feng charge towards the Savage Dragon, Shen Tianzhong also dared not be negligent. He immediately drew the Judgment Blade from his back and joined the battle.

At this moment, the two of them were positioned on the left and right, forming a pincer attack, while also surrounding the savage dragon not far away.

"Hmph! Two ignorant little beasts!"

Seeing Lu Feng and Shen Tianzhong flanking him, Manlong sneered, then unleashed an even more terrifying aura of Yuan Power. "I only spared you two earlier because of the little cripple...!"

"Since you're now courting death, then this protector will send you on your way!"
