Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"Hey you big oaf, isn't that obvious?"

Faced with the scorn of the barbarian dragon, Lu Feng merely shrugged, then spread his hands outwards, saying, "I'm not only afraid of death, but I also don't want to die. However, you demonic cultists have forced me to die, so in order to survive in the end, I have no choice but to become fearless of death!"

"You little brat surnamed Lu! What nonsense are you spouting? Are you putting on an opera here?"

Upon hearing the other party's sarcastic and sarcastic rhyme, Manlong frowned slightly, seemingly unable to process what was happening.

After all, his weakest point was his verbal skills, which was precisely Lu Feng's strength!

"You little brat, die!"

With another angry roar, Manlong swung the black club on his back and smashed it down on Lu Feng's forehead, clearly no longer wanting to waste words with the latter.

"Wait a minute!"

Seeing the dragon swing its club at him, Lu Feng roared and waved his hand, but he still couldn't stop the dragon's attack.

Thud! Crack...!

In an instant, the black club slammed into Lu Feng's chest like a thousand-pound weight, sending him flying and breaking all his ribs, leaving blood staining the ground!

"Damn it! This brainless idiot is definitely not like normal people...!"

His body crashed heavily to the ground, but Lu Feng struggled to his feet the next moment. A look of resentment flashed across his pale face.

Originally, he planned to continue using the "delaying tactic" to buy time for the reinforcements from Falling Star Academy to arrive, a tactic that Lu Feng had used many times before.

However, Lu Feng still overlooked one thing: the savage dragon in front of him was even more simple-minded than he had imagined. He was a complete brute who was not fooled at all and went straight to attack!

"Huh? Why is this brat suddenly so weak...?"

After severely injuring Lu Feng with a single blow, Manlong did not press his advantage. Instead, he looked at Lu Feng with an extremely surprised expression.

Because he had fought Lu Feng at the Shen family ancestral mausoleum before, and was very clear about the latter's strength.

Now, after half a year apart, they are facing each other again. Lu Feng's strength has not improved at all; in fact, he is much weaker than before. This naturally makes Manlong suspicious and slightly surprised.

"Lord Manlong is mighty!"

"As expected of Lord Barbarian Dragon, this mere ant from Falling Star Academy is no match for you!"

"That's right! Lord Barbarian Dragon, with your unparalleled skills, it's a waste to personally deal with this brat—it's like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut!"

Seeing that the barbarian dragon had easily and severely injured Lu Feng, many of the Wusheng cultists who were watching the battle offered their flattery and sycophancy. For a time, the flattery was endless, almost making the former seem like he was on top of the world.

"Shut up, all of you! What are you yelling about?"

However, faced with the flattery from his subordinates, Manlong frowned slightly and immediately interrupted them in a cold voice, clearly not impressed.

Because he could see that Lu Feng in front of him was already exhausted and not at his peak, and even if he won, there was nothing to be proud of.

"Ouch...! Almost half of my ribs are broken... This fucking hurts...!"

Feeling the excruciating pain in his chest, Lu Feng clenched his teeth, cold sweat poured down his face, and his complexion turned pale. It seemed that he was seriously injured and in so much pain that he almost fainted on the spot. He was only able to hold on by sheer willpower.

Just as Manlong had predicted, he was indeed already exhausted. Let alone fighting any one of the four protectors of the Wusheng Sect, Lu Feng couldn't even defeat a random Wusheng Sect lackey at the Condensation Realm!

After all, he had just gone through a bloody battle, and in order to kill that Black Fighting Serpent King, Lu Feng had almost exhausted all his Yuan energy. In addition, he had just been injured by the hidden weapon released by Xu Yiping. It was already very difficult for him to stay conscious, let alone fight!

"Young Master Lu, your injuries are extremely serious. If you continue to push yourself, your life will likely be in danger!"

"Don't move! I'll send you into the Treasure Basin space to heal your injuries!"

Gu Canyang's anxious voice rang in his ears again, clearly indicating that Lu Feng's injuries were serious and he was no longer able to fight!

"No!"

However, faced with Gu Canyang's suggestion, Lu Feng gritted his teeth and refused without hesitation, "Old Gu, you can hide for a while, but you can't hide forever. Even if I hide in the Treasure Basin space to recover from my injuries, it won't change the current battle situation at all; on the contrary, it will make it worse. So I can't do that..."

Lu Feng said in a resolute tone.

Because he knew very well that once the secret of the Treasure Basin was exposed, not only would the Wusheng Sect want to take his life, but all the forces of the entire Misty Continent would come running. At that time, he would not only become the target of everyone's hatred, but he would also be even less likely to survive!

"Young Master Lu, you...!"

"Old-fashioned, don't worry..."

Interrupting him again, Lu Feng, disregarding his severe injuries, said haltingly, "Miss Leng has already returned to the hospital for reinforcements. Once the elders arrive with reinforcements, the battle will be completely reversed... and I believe in Miss Leng...!"

From the very beginning, he was well aware that he could not possibly break through the encirclement on his own, let alone save Cao Keying and the others. The only way to break the deadlock was to buy time and wait for reinforcements.

This is also why Lu Feng dared to challenge the Savage Dragon alone.

Because he never intended to win; he was just trying to buy himself some more time!

...

Above the sky, in front of the Wusheng Sect army

"To do something knowing it is impossible is like a moth drawn to a flame, or a mantis trying to stop a chariot—how tragic!"

Seeing that Lu Feng was seriously injured but still stood up to stop the barbarian dragon, Dai Qisi, who originally planned to take over the Earth Tiger Star, shook her head slightly. At this moment, her eyes were still cold and ruthless, as if she thought the former was overestimating himself and was extremely foolish.

"Boy, even if you risk your life, you are no match for us, and you cannot stop the great cause of the Holy Church's revival. If you surrender now, you may still have a glimmer of hope."

Dai Qisi continued to coldly stare at Lu Feng on the ground below. At this moment, her entire face was covered by a purple veil, making it impossible to see her true appearance, and her expression remained unchanged.

"Heh, you're right, but unfortunately, I'm naturally rebellious. I dislike surrendering, and I especially dislike sitting idly by and waiting to die...!"

Faced with Dai Qisi's attempt to persuade him to surrender, Lu Feng merely grinned, then gave a self-deprecating laugh.

After all, he wasn't some naive newcomer, and he certainly wouldn't believe the nonsense spouted by Dai Qisi, this sorcerer from the demonic sect.

The other party's words of persuasion to surrender are no different from the legendary joke, "Hello, I am Qin Shi Huang. DM me 50 and I'll give you a promotion and wealth." Only a fool would believe that!

"Sister Dai, why waste words with this brat? I'll just twist his head off right now!"

"Wait!"

Just as Manlong was about to finish off Lu Feng, he was interrupted by a cold shout.

The person who spoke was none other than Dai Qisi, who was the head of the four protectors of the Wusheng Sect and was known in the martial arts world as the "Illusion Protector".

"Savage Dragon, step back."

Dai Qisi's tone remained indifferent.

"Sister Dai, but I..." Upon hearing this, Manlong was taken aback.

"Step back!"

"yes!"

Seeing the anger in Dai Qisi's eyes, Manlong dared not say anything more and could only retreat to the side with a resentful look, seemingly not quite understanding what the other party was up to.

"Boy, countless righteous cultivators have died at my hands in the past, including many geniuses. But without exception, they were all cowards who feared death. You are one of the few tough guys who dared to stand up for yourself..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Dai Qisi's gaze shifted again, slowly turning to Lu Feng on the ground below. "Since that's the case, I'll give you a chance to live..."

hum!

The next moment, Dai Qisi's beautiful eyes sparkled and purple light appeared. Her originally deep and abyss-like eyes suddenly became charming and alluring, like the evil eyes of the ancient witch Medusa. Anyone who accidentally glanced at them would fall in love with them and be unable to extricate themselves!

"Well...!"

Faced with Dai Qisi's captivatingly beautiful eyes, Lu Feng was also caught off guard. He not only froze on the spot, but also became as immobile as a puppet. "What, what's going on?!"

"Ugh! My head... Ah!"

Another scream rang out, and the next moment Lu Feng felt as if his entire head had been cleaved open by a sharp axe. He collapsed to the ground in pain and then completely lost consciousness and motionless!
