Chapter 22

  Thank you dear: The five fresh flowers sent by Shadow Charm Flower and the monthly votes from everyone, I love them so much, *hugs*, lots of love...

  ……

  They watched helplessly as Yu Liu Fang's long sword swung down mercilessly.

  Just as Yu Liu Fang's long sword was about to chop off Feng Fei's legs, a loud explosion suddenly sounded, followed by a tremor that shook the mountain and sent rocks flying. Amidst the crowd's shocked gazes, a faint whooshing sound was heard, and an unknown object wrapped itself around Yu Liu Fang's wrist, just as he was about to bring down the sword. In a split second, it managed to pull the sword away from Feng Fei's legs by a few inches.

  At the same time, a clear and familiar female voice came: "Yu Zong Master, what a wonderful interest! In this Black Wood Ancient Forest, there is actually still interest in competing with me, Feng Clan's young master, in martial arts. How rare! How rare!"

  Upon hearing this voice, all the young men of the Phoenix Clan were overjoyed and exclaimed in unison: "Tenth Sister..."

  "Heavens! Little sister, you really haven't died, it's truly great!"

  But Feng Fei, who was in the midst of a fierce battle with someone else, saw this and was overjoyed to the point where he almost jumped up: "I knew it, tenth sister, you wouldn't come to any harm! With someone like you, how could you die so easily?"

  Feng Qiexia heard this and her mouth twitched violently, but what you're saying, are you praising her or mocking her? Why does it sound so awkward?

  Feng Fei, who was trampled under Yu Liu Fang's feet, had already become teary-eyed!

  His beloved is really okay, really okay, still alive, it's great! Great! From now on, he will definitely cultivate his Xuan Qi diligently and absolutely cannot let anyone harm his beloved again, nor can he always rely on her to save himself. He will protect her well.

  However, with the appearance of that familiar female voice, the expressions of the people present were not uniform. It was only when everyone turned their heads to clearly see the figure that had suddenly appeared that they collectively became stunned.

  The reason is none other than that a certain evil image is really too... too whatever it is.

  Yu Liu Fang almost fell over, her foot slipping on the flying phoenix's leg. She glared at the person who suddenly appeared, her eyes bulging out, and shouted: "You're not dead yet!"

  Although I had been guessing that this might happen, when it actually appeared in front of me, it was still a bit hard to accept. However, he was only startled for a second, and then joy spread across his heart. The scorching sun and high temperature disappeared, and then this guy appeared. Does that also represent...

  Yu Liu Fang gazed at Feng Qi Xie's eyes, which suddenly lit up like gold, staring at him intently, but deliberately said: "What's with this new look? It's really special! You're indeed the most 'famous' beauty of the Phoenix Clan, probably no one else in the world can pull it off!"

  In his tone, there was a thick sarcasm, but in those eyes, a flash of surprise and admiration, it seemed that this twenty-eighth concubine he had taken a liking to was quite impressive!

  A dress made of leaves, although it looks unconventional, also has a unique charm, doesn't it?

  Thirteen-year-old body, although not yet fully developed, already hints at a stunning figure, that smooth and jade-like skin, the tiny waist that can be grasped in one hand, and those straight and slender legs... Wow! Indeed a little beauty!

  "Pervert!"

  Yu Liu Fang's gaze was too presumptuous, too lustful, and truly detestable. Feng Qi gave him a fierce glare, muttered under his breath, and ignored his taunts for the time being. With a tug on the blood-colored man-eating vine wrapped around Yu Liu Fang's long sword, he hastily countered with internal energy...

  It was either because his strength was too overwhelming or that girl's skills hadn't improved much, but with just one pull, he actually pulled her into a somersault, flying towards him face first.

  He felt a sudden chill in his heart, and he thought that the young girl was not so simple after all. As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, he suddenly saw Feng Qi flying towards him with an evil smile on her face. The next moment, a golden light flashed before his eyes, and a scorching heat enveloped him. He hastily dodged to one side, but still was a step too late. A lock of hair was burnt off, not to mention that one of his sleeves was also burnt off. If he hadn't quickly put out the flames with his hands, probably all his clothes and hair would have been completely destroyed!

  At this moment, Jing Hai's eyes widened in shock: "You've actually obtained the Evil Flame!"

  Feng Qi seized the opportunity to successfully rescue Feng Fei from under his feet and handed him over to Feng San, who rushed over.

  As she turned around, she glanced at Yu Liu Fang's unpleasant face and smiled triumphantly: "To think about it, I have to admire my own good luck! Originally thought that being dragged into the giant pit by the giant fire dragon was a sure death, but unexpectedly, thanks to Feng Qi Ye's good character, not only did the giant fire dragon not swallow me, but also took me as its master. If you were the one who got dragged down into the giant pit at that time, I'm afraid the owner of the evil fire would be you now! What a pity! What a pity!"

  As soon as she finished speaking, she seemed to be showing off, her slender fingers flicking out, accompanied by a crisp sound, a small golden flame burst forth from the tip of Feng Qixie's finger.

  With a curious gaze, Feng Qiuxia played with this strand of her own evil fire, and after a moment, she lightly pointed her finger at the mountain wall beside her...

  In an instant, only a loud "boom" was heard, the flames dispersed, and a patch of charred blackness appeared on the mountain wall.

  "Hmm..."

  The surroundings suddenly echoed with gasps, and everyone stared blankly at the mountain wall that had been charred black by the evil fire, unable to speak for a long time.

  It's said that the evil fire burning on the mountain wall has already produced such an effect, if it were to burn on a person's flesh and blood... The crowd quietly retreated a step, gazing at Yu Liu Fang who was burned by the evil fire, all of them secretly sighing in their hearts. They didn't have Yu Zong's abilities after all! Better be more careful.

  Yu Liu Fang's eyes gleamed with greed, then turned cold and gloomy: "Since the evil fire is in your hands, that's easy to handle! Hand it over, and I'll let this group of Feng clan disciples leave. Otherwise..." His eyes flashed with intense killing intent: "Don't blame me for being impolite!"

  Evil fire will inevitably prevail, whoever blocks it will be killed.

  Upon hearing this, Feng Qiujie's face turned pale and she patted her own chest, saying in a trembling voice: "I'm so scared! I don't know how Yu Zong will treat us rudely!"

  Yu Liu Fang's expression suddenly turned cold as she smiled, and with a flick of her wrist, the long sword in her hand pointed at the dense crowd of people outside Liede Mountain: "All these people are mine. Do you think you can escape with just a few of you? So, if you know what's good for you, hand over the evil fire, or else not even your corpses will be left behind."

  "Everyone's corpse?" Feng Qiye asked in confusion, "Didn't the Jade Sect Master just say we could leave? Why is it now that everyone has to stay behind as corpses?"

  Evil fire? The thing that people all over the world dream of and long for, she wouldn't believe it even if you killed her. If he got what he wanted, he would let them go!

  And she would hardly give up the evil fire she had obtained at the cost of her life to others.

  Yu Liu Fang's face turned iron-green with rage, and she no longer bothered to waste words on her. With a flash of the long sword, a mysterious aura burst forth: "Since you refuse to drink the toast and want to drink the penalty instead, don't blame this Sect Master for bullying the weak!"

  Feng Qi's body flashed to the side, avoiding the attack. He didn't forget to mock: "Yu Zong has already done all sorts of shameless things! Are you still concerned about bullying the young?"

  "You..." Yu Liu Fang's anger reached its peak, and she struck again without mercy. (Cough! In fact, he had never shown any mercy from the start.)

  He hated it most when people said he was old, and this dead girl actually mentioned it again and again, how detestable!

  So this time he didn't take her in and seize the evil fire, he wouldn't be the master of the Yu Liu Fang generation.

  Facing Yu Liu Fang's increasingly fierce offensive, Feng Qi Xie didn't dare to be careless either. The blood-colored man-eating vine in his hand swung wildly, bringing up waves of strong winds that struck towards Yu Liu Fang.

  In an instant, all he heard was a crisp "Ka Cha" sound, and Yu Liu Fang was shocked to discover that the long sword in his hand had been severed by that unremarkable blood-red vine. Before he could even react, a sharp pain shot through his neck, fresh blood gushing out rapidly, his brain reeling with dizziness. He stared wide-eyed, only then realizing that the unremarkable vine was actually sucking his blood.

  Damn it!

  Yu Liu Fang let out a low curse, how did he not discover that the inconspicuous rattan plant was actually that damned man-eating rattan!

  His whole body's true energy went berserk, the Jade Flowing Fragrance suppressing the increasingly dizzy feeling brought by the Blood-Drinking Vine sucking away his fresh blood. Finally, with a sudden jolt, in a pained cry of "Ah", he forcibly shook off the Blood-Drinking Vine, and quickly retreated to a safe location. Meanwhile, Huo Xiong Yun and others rushed forward, shielding him behind them.

  Yu Liu covered the still bleeding neck, her eyes glaring venomously at Feng Qiexia, full of horror. Dammit, this dead girl is really extraordinary, unexpectedly even the infamous Forest Killer, the Blood Vine King, was subdued by her! Truly extraordinary!

  "Heh heh! Yu Zong, how's the taste of fresh blood sucked by the Man-Eating Vine? Not bad, right?" Feng Qi smiled complacently, playing with the returned Blood-Colored Man-Eating Vine, and praised: "Blood child, you did a great job. Considering your outstanding performance this time, I won't hold it against you for being cowardly in the Grand Cave."

  "Squeak!" The Man-Eating Blood Vine cheered, constantly twisting in Feng Qiuya's hand. It hadn't forgotten! Ever since its master woke up from his cultivation and pulled it out of the stone crevice with that burst of ferocity, almost incinerating it with evil fire on the spot!

  "You must be starving for a long time, right? Look... " Feng Qiye pointed at the group of dark and dense subordinates behind Yu Liu Fang with an evil grin: "They are all your food, eat to your heart's content! If you can't finish them, call your children and grandchildren to come and eat together. After all, good things should be shared by everyone, right?"

  Everyone was shocked, and Yu Liu Fang's face changed even more drastically.

  The Blood Vine burst into cheers, it had always thought that after following the master, it would never be able to suck fresh blood again! Unexpectedly, not only did the master let it suck fresh blood, but also helped it find so much "food", it was really great!

  Here, on the outskirts of Lie Ri Shan, it's already not far from the Man-Eating Vine area.

  At this moment, the Man-Eating Vine burst out of Feng Qi's hands and let out a loud wail towards the sky. In the midst of everyone's shocked gazes, in just an instant, countless ordinary Man-Eating Vines surged out from the nearby area like a tide, their numbers making one's scalp feel numb.

  Having eaten the bitter fruit of the man-eating vine, all the young men of the Feng tribe immediately retreated behind Feng Qijie, and it's still safer to be under the master of the man-eating vine king!

  On the side of Yu Liu Fang, people saw so many man-eating vines rushing in like a tide, and their faces suddenly changed. Some who couldn't dodge were wrapped up by the vines and sucked dry into human jerky.

  Wow!

  It's really terrifying, Huo Yun also felt a chill run down his spine. He turned around and whispered to Yu Liu Fang: "Master, with so many man-eating vines, the Yu Lan Sect and my Fire Clan's disciples are simply no match for them. If we get entangled... the consequences would be disastrous. Rather than trying to obtain the evil fire, it's better to..."

  Yu Liu Fang's face sank, covering her still painful neck, looking at the large piece of human-dried hands under the man-eating vines, a chill ran down her spine. The man-eating vine was indeed notorious, and it truly lived up to its reputation as the forest killer!

  Looking at the triumphant and beautiful girl in the arena, Yu Liu Fang suddenly gritted her teeth with hatred, making a "crunching" sound. Feng Qiujian remembered after all!

  Noticing his resentful gaze, Feng Qiujie smiled lightly and immediately summoned the Blood Vine, who was playing the role of a commander, and instructed it: "Blood child, Master Yu seems to still miss the feeling of being drained by you. You can reluctantly serve our esteemed Master Yu!"

  Feng Qi's face was full of evil intentions as he gave orders to the poisonous and ferocious Man-Eating Blood Vine below.

  That bloodthirsty vampire child let out a "squeak" of delight and responded, heaven knows it had only sucked in just a small mouthful earlier and was still hungry now! Now the master is calling it to eat again, isn't that just great?!

  Immediately afterwards, a "whoosh" sound was heard, and countless branches and roots covered the sky and earth, surrounding Yu Liu Fang and others.

  Huǒ Jīngyún's face suddenly changed, and he hastily asked: "Master, what should we do now?"

  If it weren't for the thought of relying on Yulianzong in the future, he would have run away by now! But thinking that if he were to abandon Yuliufang and run away, even if Yuliufang died here, it would be okay. If she didn't die, then within a few days, his entire Huo clan would probably be exterminated!

  Yu Liu Fang's strength was unfathomable, and although he had suffered a loss this time, who knew what other life-saving trump cards he still had up his sleeve, so he didn't dare take the risk.

  Just as Huo Xueyun was about to cry out in despair, seeing the man-eating Blood Vine's branches covering the sky and sweeping towards them, Yu Liu Fang finally stomped her foot in hatred and growled: "Let's go..."

  Just as his low voice fell, the man-eating blood vine had already attacked him in an instant. Suddenly, a soft "whoosh" sound was heard, and the two of them disappeared into thin air in the blink of an eye. Only a voice echoed through the air: "Feng Qiexia, you wait for this sect master, I won't let you off."

  The sound is getting farther and farther away. At the moment when the sound fell, Yu Liu Fang and Huo Jing Yun were probably already far away! It's too late to chase after them now.

  "Damn it! You're quite skilled at running away with your life, you must have done this often. And to think you're the master of the Yu Lan Sect! Ugh, what a shameless coward, truly despicable!" Feng Qiuhua stomped her foot in anger and contempt, utterly disgusted that he would abandon his own subordinate and flee, how utterly shameless.

  Watching their own masters and patriarchs abandon them to flee on their own, those Yu Lan Sect disciples and Huo Family disciples instantly lost the will to fight. But wanting to run was one thing, actually running away from that dense thicket of man-eating vines was another matter altogether.

  At that time, there were constant miserable cries, and soon those people were all sucked into the man-eating vines, becoming human-shaped dried specimens. The scene was too miserable to describe.

  Feng Qi shook his head helplessly and sighed, "Alas! It's not your fault that you met such a master. It's really pitiful! Pitiful! However, this life may be buried in the mouth of the man-eating vine, but it can also be considered as doing a good deed. Otherwise, who would help me raise so many man-eating vines?"

  Everyone felt a chill run down their spines as they heard Feng Qi's words, and they all involuntarily shivered.

  How evil! Evil! Their tenth sister is indeed not a good person! Let's take a moment of silence for those who will be against the Feng clan in the future.

  "Bad boy..."

  Feng Fei struggled free from the supporting hands of Feng Jiu and others, walked to Feng Qianxue's face, suddenly grasped her tightly in his arms, so tight that it made Feng Qianxue feel suffocated.

  However, Feng Qiuye didn't say anything. She didn't even frown, as if she clearly knew what was going on in Feng Fei's mind at this time.

  Feng Fei held her tightly, as if he was afraid she would suddenly disappear again. Perhaps it was to confirm that the evil child in front of him was not his own illusion, but a real existence, right in front of him, in his arms. Although he had come to this conclusion, the scorching tears still couldn't be held back and slid down.

  At the same time, his body trembled slightly, thinking that he had almost lost Ya'er, he was so frightened that his whole body shook.

  "Brother, I'm fine! Don't worry." Feng Qi'e patted his back gently and comforted him softly. She knew that she had been dragged into the huge cave by the giant fire dragon, and Feng Fei must have been heartbroken, sad, and in pain. At the same time, she was also warmed by the fact that her brother was genuinely worried about her.

  Perhaps heaven is pitying her, letting her be reborn in Feng Qi's body, with a brother who loves and dotes on her, to make up for the harm caused by her own biological sister in her past life.

  "Xie Er, don't scare me like this again, do you understand? If you really died! I won't live alone. Earlier when he was guarding outside, he had already decided in his heart that if Xie Er couldn't come out alive, he would go with her, so the Yellow Spring Road wouldn't be lonely either!"

  Upon hearing this, Feng Qiujian's face immediately fell, and he said in a deep voice: "Brother, I don't allow you to say such foolish things again, nor do I permit you to have such thoughts. Do you know who I, Feng Qiujian, am? Even the King of Hell wouldn't dare take my life lightly. In the future, even if you see me die with your own eyes, don't believe it! I, Feng Qiujian, won't die so easily. Otherwise, when I come back to life, you'll be dead! Isn't that also harming me and making us both die together? Brother, this is unacceptable, do you understand?"

  As soon as she finished speaking, she wiped the coldness off her face and gave him a playful smile, even making a mischievous face that was completely out of character for her, which really damaged her image, instantly teasing Feng Fei to tears.

  Just then, when everyone was chatting and laughing, a sudden noise came from afar, as if a group of people were walking in this direction, causing everyone's hearts to skip a beat.

  Hehe! As for who the newcomer is, let's guess together first! Tears are welling up already!
