Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"You all deserve to die...!"

Facing the horde of Wusheng cultists swarming from all sides, Duan Lang's eyes were bloodshot, his teeth clenched, and an immense killing intent erupted from his entire body. Clearly, he was now completely enraged by the death of Baturu!

"Slash Across the Treacherous Waves!"

With a furious roar, Duan Lang leaped forward, his sword flashing like a shadow, unleashing countless sharp sword energies that surged forth like an unstoppable tidal wave, instantly engulfing the group of Wusheng Cult members opposite him.

Swish!Swish!Swish!

The sword energy streaked through the air and almost instantly crushed the group of Wusheng Cult members who were attacking. Several unlucky ones with weaker cultivation were even more severely injured, and were riddled with bloody holes by the sword energy streaks, and were beyond dead!

"A great opportunity!"

Seeing Duan Lang instantly fly into a rage and kill several Wusheng Cult members with a single sword strike, Li Li did not back down at all. He merely narrowed his eyes, as if he had discovered a flaw in the former's attack.

"Hmph, die!"

With his own energy surging, Li Li vanished from his spot in an instant, then reappeared behind Duan Lang like a ghost, slashing out with his blade.

"What?!"

Sensing a deadly threat from behind, Duan Lang's expression changed slightly. He instinctively flew back on his sword to defend himself, while simultaneously dodging to the side. But it was too late!

Click...!

A piercing crack of breaking bones rang out, and the next moment Duan Lang was seen flying backward at lightning speed, blood splattering all over the ground. Moreover, his entire left arm had been cleaved off by Li Li's blade, leaving him with extremely severe injuries!

"Li Li! You despicable, shameless, and treacherous villain, I will surely kill you... Waaah!"

He collapsed to the ground in a disheveled state. Ignoring the excruciating pain from the wound on his left arm, Duan Lang struggled to get up again, but before he could finish speaking, he coughed up blood again and couldn't get up. At the same time, his pale face was filled with angry killing intent.

His old nemesis and teammate, Baturu, died because of Li Li's sudden sneak attack!

Although Duan Lang has narrowly escaped death, with only his left arm severed and his heart unharmed, his dantian energy is almost depleted, and his aura is weak and listless, rendering him unable to fight any longer!

"Heh, with your meager abilities, you dare to dream of killing me? You're truly overestimating yourself!"

After launching another sneak attack and severely injuring Duan Lang, Li Li's lips curled into a disdainful sneer, seemingly not taking the former seriously at all.

After all, the entire Fengxingtai is currently under the control of their Wusheng Sect. As for the strongest members, Ren Lingyun and others, they are being held back by Zhang Dabiao. It would be a pipe dream for Duan Lang to turn the tide on his own!

"Captain Li is awesome!"

"Damn it! This brat named Duan Lang is really tough to deal with. Even though he's injured like this, he still managed to kill several of our brothers in the chaos...!"

"Fortunately, this man was already exhausted, and in the end, our Holy Church had the last laugh in this battle..."

Seeing Duan Lang fall to the ground, the morale of the Wusheng Sect members was greatly boosted. They immediately put away their weapons and then landed next to Li Li, who seemed to be a squad leader under the Wusheng Sect, second only to Zhang Dabiao, the Sun-ranked branch leader.

Meanwhile, outside the Star Sealing Platform, the outcome of the other two battlefields was also decided.

Apart from Leng Ying who managed to escape at the cost of his life, Ren Lingyun, Cao Keying, and Xia Zhenhu, who was once ranked second in the Five Spirits Society, were all defeated and seriously injured, and all became prisoners!

"Reporting back to Chief Zhang, as you instructed, these troublesome flies have all been dealt with!"

Ignoring the critically injured Duan Lang, Li Li led his men back to Zhang Dabiao. He then bowed to Zhang Dabiao, his face full of self-satisfaction, as if riding a swift horse in the spring breeze, looking very imposing.

"Li Li, well done... hmm?"

Turning to look at Li Li and the others beside him, Zhang Dabiao's brows furrowed again before he could finish speaking. "Wait, someone's missing! Where's that blond girl named Leng Ying?"

"What?!"

Upon seeing this, Li Li was stunned for a moment, then quickly scanned his surroundings and his expression suddenly changed. "What's going on! How could that blond girl...!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Beside her, the badly injured Cao Keying also laughed heartily, then said with a chilling gaze, "Zhang Dabiao, even if you've been clever all your life, you've made a foolish mistake. Leng Ying has already taken advantage of the chaos to break through, and even if you kill all the disciples of Falling Star Academy present, you still won't escape death in the end!"

"No, that's right...!"

Ren Lingyun also struggled to his feet, his handsome face now stained with blood. He said weakly, "Although we are no match for you, we have stalled for enough time. Once Miss Leng returns to the hospital and informs the elders of what happened in Falling Star Valley, you remnants of the Wusheng Sect will surely die!"

"Two ants, how dare you make such a racket here!"

Faced with Cao Keying and Ren Lingyun's close mockery, Zhang Dabiao's eyebrows stood on end in anger. He then unleashed a palm strike, instantly sending the two flying, coughing up blood and collapsing to the ground!

Previously, he was fully focused on dealing with the combined attack of Ren Lingyun and Cao Keying, so he didn't pay attention to what was happening on other battlefields and was unaware that Leng Ying had secretly broken through the encirclement in the chaos. He was so careless that he lost Jingzhou!

"I have failed in my duty; please forgive me, Chief Zhang!"

Beside him, Li Li was also so frightened that he knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly to the furious Zhang Dabiao, his face full of fear and apprehension.

After all, his situation was similar to the other party's. His attention was entirely focused on Duan Lang and Baturu, and he had no idea when Leng Ying had managed to break through in the chaos.

"Hmph! That blond-haired girl shouldn't have gone far. You take some men and chase after her immediately, and remember, kill her without mercy!"

Zhang Dabiao glanced at Li Li, who was kneeling on the ground, his brows furrowing before he suppressed his murderous urge and said coldly and menacingly.

"Yes! I'll go right away...!"

Upon hearing the order, Li Li dared not delay in the slightest. He immediately led more than a dozen Wusheng Sect members and turned to rush towards the entrance of Falling Star Valley, intending to catch up with Leng Ying as soon as possible and eliminate any future troubles!

After all, they were just a small group of scouts sent out by the Wusheng Sect, not the main force. If Leng Ying were to run back and ask for help, they would surely die!

...

On the other side, in front of a clearing in a dense forest in Falling Star Valley

"Old man, what exactly do you mean by that?"

"Why should I, a mere youth, have to abandon the cultivation of the Corpse-Converting Technique if I wish to inherit your mantle?"

Ignoring the severely injured, delirious, and near-death Xu Tianlong beside him, Lu Feng frowned and continued to ask questions about the ancient remnant sun inside the treasure basin.

After all, it was really puzzling for him that the other party had suddenly said such a thing!

"Heh, there's no rush. Let's wait until you've dealt with your current troubles first..."

Gu Canyang's faint laughter rang in my ears again, as if his words had a hidden meaning.

"The immediate trouble?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Feng was taken aback for a moment, then his eyes narrowed slightly, and he suddenly looked up at the sky, as if he had suddenly realized something.

"Grab her! Don't let this little bitch get away!"

"Chief Zhang has ordered that anyone who opposes the Holy Church be killed without exception!"

"What a ruthless little bitch! In just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, she's killed several of our brothers. If we just kill her like this, it'll be too easy for her. I'm going to rape this little bitch, then kill her, then rape her again, and then kill her again!"

Suddenly, dozens of powerful figures swept across the sky, one after the other, relentlessly pursuing each other. The former, dressed in a black robe and covered in blood, had a hint of weariness and resentment on her pretty face. She was none other than Leng Ying, the former leader of the Five Spirits Society.

Behind Leng Ying followed a large group of murderous Wusheng Sect pursuers, led by Li Li, one of Zhang Dabiao's henchmen who had previously led the plot to frame Lu Feng.

"That's... Miss Leng?"

Upon discovering that Leng Ying was being relentlessly pursued by Li Li and his men, Lu Feng first frowned, then his anger flared. "Damn it! It's those remnants of the Wusheng Cult again...!"

"You bunch of bastards are just unlucky to have run into my gun today!"

Thinking of this, Lu Feng did not hesitate at all. He immediately soared into the sky and headed towards the direction where Li Li and the others were!

In the past, to avoid infighting among his fellow disciples and to find the real culprit behind the murder of Chang Yuchun and others, Lu Feng did not directly break ties with Zhang Dabiao and Li Li, but instead took the initiative to leave Falling Star Valley.

Lu Feng is a vengeful and petty person. He was worried about not having a chance to take revenge and prove his innocence, so when he saw Li Li and the others suddenly come to his door, he naturally wouldn't let them go!

Moreover, Li Li and his group were hunting down Leng Ying, who had been kind to Lu Feng in the past. As the saying goes, one should not forget the kindness of one's benefactor. Based on this alone, Lu Feng would not allow Li Li and his group to leave alive!
