Chapter 330: Convincing a Rock (2)

She raised her thunder sword, pointing it straight at him.

"I will make sure those tragedies never occur. So please... don’t get in my way."

Li Feng stared at the sword pointed directly at him.

For a moment, he said nothing.

Then he let out a soft, almost disappointed sigh.

"...

Sigh.

You really are serious about this, huh..."

He rubbed his temple lightly, as if dealing with something particularly troublesome.

"Talking about the future like it’s already decided... acting like a savior while pointing a blade at someone who hasn’t done anything...."

He lowered his hand, and his gaze turned steady.

"Do you even hear yourself?"

Wei Zhenxin’s grip tightened on her sword. "This isn’t a debate."

"Of course it isn’t." Li Feng replied calmly. "Because you’ve already made up your mind."

Then a faint smile tugged at his lips again.

"And I have made up my mind too, but let me ask you one last thing."

He took another step forward, completely ignoring the dangerous feeling of her sword.

"If your so-called ’future’ shows her as some calamity..."

His eyes narrowed slightly.

"Then where was I?"

Wei Zhenxin froze, just for a fraction of a second.

Noticing this, Li Feng’s smile deepened and continue.

"If she really became that kind of monster... standing above mountains of corpses, destroying entire sects..."

His voice dropped lower.

"Then I should be right there beside her. Or dead trying to stop her."

The air grew heavier.

"But you didn’t mention me at all."

His gaze locked onto hers, sharp and probing.

"So either... you didn’t see everything or..."

His smile turned faintly mocking.

"What you saw... wasn’t as absolute as you think."

Wei Zhenxin’s expression shifted.

For the first time, uncertainty crept into her eyes.

Li Feng caught it instantly and pressed further.

"You’re willing to kill someone based on a fragment of a vision," his tone turning sharper. "A mere possibility... and not certainty."

With another step forward, Li Feng spoke coldly as his voice laced with dangerous threat.

"Let me make this simple for you. You don’t touch her... and I won’t touch you."

Then he smiled and cracked his knuckles.

"But if you insist..."

A faint surge of energy rippled out from his body as a suffocating pressure crashed over the entire area.

"...then don’t blame me for breaking that righteous pride of yours."

Wei Zhenxin’s pupils shrank.

Her instincts screamed at her... the man in front of her was far more dangerous than he appeared.

But she gritted her teeth.

Her will was not so weak that she would run from a foe like this.

"...It seems I failed to convince you," she murmured.

Suddenly—

Crackle...!

Her body transformed into streaks of lightning as she dispersed and vanished from her spot.

BANG!!

CRACK!!

Li Feng’s fist slammed down where she had stood.

The entire area collapsed as if struck by a giant hammer, sending stone and dust exploding outward.

"Convince me? You’re not convincing anybody with that kind of bullshit!" Li Feng shouted.

But then his eyes narrowed.

A faint flicker of lightning danced at the edge of his perception.

’Too fast.’

Without hesitation, he twisted his body to the side—

CRACK!!

A bolt of condensed green lightning tore past his shoulder and exploded against the ground behind him.

Stones shattered, and dust erupted into the air.

"Tch."

Li Feng clicked his tongue and slid back half a step.

"So you’ve decided to fight."

His gaze swept the surroundings.

Small cracks of green lightning were appearing all around him, as if something massive was about to descend.

He couldn’t help but notice that this woman was stronger and faster than before.

And hee couldn’t help but felt a hint of shock.

Li Feng already know that his current strength and speed were already somewhat equivalent to a Golden Core cultivator, yet this woman was actually keeping up with him.

’Just who is this Wei Zhenxin...?’

While he remained on high alert, a sharp roar suddenly rang out.

ROAR!

A bolt of green lightning shot toward him from behind at terrifying speed.

Li Feng sneered as he could sense it clearly.

"Hmph!"

Despite his large frame, he twisted with lightning speed and smashed his fist toward the incoming attack.

WHOOSH!

But his fist struck nothing but air.

The lightning dispersed like water, strands of green electricity traveling up his arm as Wei Zhenxin’s body materialized behind him.

She crouched low, her thunder sword already slashing toward his waist.

ROAR!

A powerful explosive burst erupted as her blade connected.

BOOM!!

A terrifying storm of lightning exploded outward.

The area turned into a raging sea of electricity.

Zzzz...

The smell of burnt flesh lingered in the air, but Wei Zhenxin’s eyes widened in shock as her sword had only sliced slightly into Li Feng’s flesh and was now stuck.

"Got you."

With those casual words, Li Feng reached out toward her at terrifying speed.

He planned to beat this woman unconscious and seal her inside the Divine Brick... and once inside, he would have absolute control.

Then he could take his time... slowly teaching her to change that stubborn mind of hers.

And if she still refused to change? he wouldn’t mind locking her up forever.

Li Feng knew himself well and he only did things that satisfied him.

He was willing to give others a chance, but that didn’t make him some brainless righteous fool who would throw away something valuable for the sake of empty morals.

At least he wasn’t that pathetic.

So he wouldn’t mind keeping such a beautiful, heroic genius as his eternal prisoner... and turning her into his slave.

But then Li Feng noticed the calmness in Wei Zhenxin’s gaze and frowned.

Just as he was about to catch her—

"...!?"

That feeling came again.

He suddenly felt as if he were slowing down, his body growing lighter and almost weightless.

Like the world around him seemed to sink into stillness, while he drifted like a cloud suspended in empty air.

’What is this—’

Before he could process it, Wei Zhenxin moved.

Her figure blurred as she stepped forward, her thunder sword crackling with destructive lightning as violent arcs erupted while she swung it straight toward his chest.

ROAR!

SPURT!

Blood sprayed across Li Feng’s chest as he stared at her, dumbfounded.

While Li Feng was locked in a fierce battle with Wei Zhenxin.

At the main battlefield, where the strange light had descended... the atmosphere had already turned deathly silent.

No one spoke or to be precise no one... dared to, as all eyes were fixed on the same scene above.

Right now from the sky...

A viscous, pitch-black liquid dripping slowly from the sky, like the remnants of something... unholy.

It didn’t fall like normal water... instead, it oozed.

As for the Yue Lan group that had entered the strange temple, they were already filled with shock upon recognizing what that black liquid was.

Each drop seemed to carry a suffocating pressure, as though the very essence of something was being corrupted and erased.

And beneath it was...

...Yan Moxuan’s corpse.
