Chapter 211: Hasty Ending, Sudden Changes
However, how could he possibly reveal the truth to these three innocent and enthusiastic teenagers?
Therefore, Ling Feng had no choice but to pretend to be nonchalant and reply:
"That's right, my purpose in coming here is to ensure your safety."
Now it seems they won't dare to attack you easily again, so there's naturally no need for me to stay any longer.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaofan's face showed deep gratitude, and he quickly cupped his hands and said:
"I am so grateful for Brother Ling's righteous help just now, otherwise I would probably be dead already. I will never forget this great kindness."
Ling Feng smiled slightly, waved his hand, and said:
"Xiao Fan, you flatter me. If it weren't for your help back then, I might have become food for wild beasts long ago."
Just then, Tie Niu, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up and asked:
"So, where does Brother Ling plan to go next?"
Ling Feng looked up into the distance, his eyes revealing a hint of longing and carefree spirit, and said with a light laugh:
"Hehe, this vast continent of China is boundless. I'm preparing to continue my travels."
As for where we'll go, let's just go with the flow and see where we end up!
Perhaps one day in the future, we will meet again.
When Ling Feng said these words, a deep sense of reluctance appeared on the faces of the three of them.
Their eyes were fixed on Ling Feng, as if they wanted to see their departing friend one more time.
However, after answering Tie Niu's question, Ling Feng decisively interrupted their potential attempts to persuade him to stay.
Ling Feng clasped his hands slightly and solemnly bid farewell:
"Everyone, please take good care of yourselves! I believe that if fate allows, we will meet again in the future."
Before he finished speaking, Ling Feng's figure flashed like lightning and disappeared without a trace from everyone's sight.
Those present unleashed their powerful divine senses in an attempt to locate Ling Feng, but to no avail.
No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't sense even the slightest trace of Ling Feng's presence.
But in reality, these people didn't know that Ling Feng hadn't really gone far away.
He quietly returned to where Biyao and the others were, and with his unfathomable cultivation, he completely concealed the figures and auras of himself and several others.
Given Ling Feng's current terrifying strength, achieving this level would be incredibly easy.
Even if those present possessed extraordinary cultivation, it would be extremely difficult for them to detect his presence.
As Ling Feng quietly departed, the tense atmosphere on the battlefield underwent a strange change.
Both the righteous and the demonic forces lost the will and desire to continue fighting.
In particular, Dao Xuan Zhenren, who had almost fallen into a state of madness just now, gradually regained his senses.
Recalling the astonishing skills Ling Feng had just displayed, he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine, and a deep sense of lingering fear welled up in his heart.
Just when both sides had lost the will to fight, they exchanged a few harsh words with each other.
Immediately afterwards, all members of the demonic faction, led by the four sect leaders, retreated swiftly like a tide, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.
After all the demonic cultivators had left, Dao Xuan slowly swung the Immortal Slaughtering Sword in his hand, dispelling the incredibly powerful Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation.
However, unexpectedly, as soon as he completed this action, he immediately spat out a mouthful of bright red blood, as if a blood arrow shot straight into the sky!
Then, as if all his strength had been drained, he collapsed limply to the ground, lifeless.
It turns out that Dao Xuan was able to appear unharmed before entirely thanks to Ling Feng's astonishing performance.
It was Ling Feng's powerful strength and extraordinary talent that allowed Dao Xuan to temporarily regain his senses under extreme tension.
But now, with the threat gone, he could no longer hold on. His injuries flared up instantly, and all the pain and weakness rushed over him at once.
The survivors of Qingyun Sect witnessed Dao Xuan suddenly vomiting blood and collapsing to the ground. They all looked worried and anxious.
Several chief disciples couldn't help but scream in alarm, and they rushed towards Dao Xuan in a frantic rush.
Among them, the Dragon Head Peak Chief Cangsong Daoren, who was closest to Dao Xuan, reacted the fastest. In a flash, he arrived at Dao Xuan's side first, like a gust of wind.
When he arrived at the scene in a great hurry, he immediately saw Dao Xuan lying on the ground, weak and barely breathing.
The worried look on his face vanished instantly, replaced by a chilling ruthlessness that flashed across his eyes.
He appeared to be concerned as he crouched down and approached Dao Xuan to check on his condition, but in reality, the sword hidden in his sleeve had already been drawn and was thrust straight at Dao Xuan's heart!
At this moment, Dao Xuan was already seriously injured and his consciousness was blurred, so how could he have noticed Cang Song's unusual behavior?
And so, completely unprepared, he watched helplessly as the incredibly sharp sword pierced his chest mercilessly, blood splattering everywhere and staining the ground beneath his feet.
Despite the excruciating pain, Dao Xuan, having suffered such a severe injury, turned his head with great difficulty, his face filled with disbelief as he stared intently at Cang Song.
His pale lips trembled slightly, as if he wanted to ask Cangsong why he had committed such a heinous act.
However, before he could utter a word, a mouthful of blood gushed out, splattering on the ground and forming a shocking blood flower.
This sudden turn of events left the other chiefs, who were rushing over, stunned and unable to react for a moment.
It wasn't until a moment later that everyone snapped out of their daze.
Tian Buyi, the chief of Dazhu Peak, looked at the scene before him, and his anger instantly flared up.
His eyes widened, his hair stood on end in anger, and he roared at the pine tree:
"Cangsong! What are you doing? Why did you do this to our sect leader?"
Faced with Tian Buyi's stern questioning, Cangsong showed no remorse whatsoever; instead, he burst into maniacal laughter, looking up at the sky.
"Hahahaha... Why? Don't you people really understand?"
Then, Cangsong, his face contorted with rage, abruptly pulled back the sword that was deeply embedded in Daoxuan's body. The sword gleamed with cold light, stained with blood, and dripped onto the ground.
At this moment, Cangsong seemed to have lost all restraint and pity, and didn't even bother to look at Daoxuan, who was seriously injured and on the verge of death.
He slowly turned around, his gaze fixed intently on the other leaders, his eyes burning with fury and hatred.
He shouted loudly:
"Do you still remember the brilliant and exceptionally talented Senior Brother Wan Jianyi from back then?"
Dao Xuan, that despicable and shameless scoundrel, was so jealous of Senior Brother Wan's extraordinary talent and demeanor that he went so far as to fabricate lies, slander him for betraying his master and ancestors, and cruelly murder him!
Today, I will seek justice for Senior Brother Wan and make that despicable Dao Xuan pay for his crimes in blood!
After saying this, the pine tree suddenly raised its head and burst into wild laughter towards the sky.
The laughter was deafening, echoing through the sky, yet it was mixed with endless pain and a sense of liberation.
At the same time, two streams of tears uncontrollably flowed from his eyes, tracing the lines of his face, which was contorted with grief and indignation.
The other chiefs fell silent upon hearing Cangsong's words.
They only knew a little about what happened back then.
By the time they learned the details of what had happened, Wan Jianyi had already been brutally killed by Dao Xuan's sword, and everything was beyond redemption.
However, Tian Buyi has always been short-tempered and hates evil.
Although he had his doubts about what happened back then, he would never allow anyone to treat his senior brother, the sect leader, in such an extreme way.
All that could be heard was his fury, and he roared at the top of his lungs:
"Cangsong, no matter what, our sect leader will always be our brother!"
How is your behavior any different from that of someone who betrays their master and ancestors?
Even if it means certain death, I will never let you off easily!
After saying that, Tian Buyi's eyes burned with raging anger, and he pounced on the pine tree like a tiger.
At this moment, Cangsong finally released the hatred that had been building up in his heart for so long. It was as if a heavy boulder had been lifted from his heart, and he felt much lighter.
However, faced with the aggressive Tian Buyi, how could he easily admit defeat? He merely gave a cold laugh and said:
"Hmph! Who's afraid of you?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than he fearlessly charged toward Tian Buyi.
In an instant, the two figures clashed like lightning, the intense collision and the overflowing spiritual energy waves shaking the entire space.
Tian Buyi unleashed all his skills, his magical treasures gleaming, each move containing boundless power;
With his years of cultivation experience and superb skills, Cangsong skillfully deflected Tian Buyi's offensive and waited for an opportunity to launch a counterattack.
For a time, the two were evenly matched and fought fiercely.
Just as the two were engaged in a life-or-death battle, the other chiefs finally came to their senses and recovered from their initial shock.
They hurriedly walked to Dao Xuan's side, their eyes fixed anxiously on the heavily injured sect leader before them.
After a careful examination, everyone discovered that although Dao Xuan had been stabbed through the heart by Cang Song's sword, perhaps by divine favor, he had stubbornly survived and still had a glimmer of hope.
Without the slightest hesitation, everyone quickly took out their treasured healing pills from their pockets.
These pills were all extremely precious, and they usually regarded them as treasures, but at this moment they stuffed them all into Dao Xuan's mouth without hesitation.
The pill melts upon entering the throat, transforming into gentle medicinal power that quickly flows through the body's meridians.
As the medicine gradually took effect, Dao Xuan's originally pale face gradually regained some color, and the bleeding from his wound slowly stopped.
Time passed slowly, and after about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Dao Xuan finally slowly opened his eyes, and his consciousness gradually returned.
When he saw the crowd surrounding him, a weak look appeared on his face, and he asked in a hoarse voice:
"Where is Cangsong? Why did he suddenly ambush me?"
Upon hearing his question, everyone fell silent, their faces showing bewilderment.
Faced with his questioning gaze, everyone looked at each other, unsure of how to respond.
Finally, as if by telepathy, everyone turned their heads and focused their attention on Cangsong, who was engaged in a fierce battle with Tian Buyi.
Dao Xuan noticed the unusual behavior of the crowd and couldn't help but look in the same direction as them.
In fact, Dao Xuan's mind was still in a state of confusion at this moment. He couldn't understand why Cang Song had suddenly attacked him.
Not only Dao Xuan felt bewildered, but Ling Feng, who had been secretly observing the situation from the shadows, also felt the same way.
His eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.
He never expected that Cangsong would suddenly attack Daoxuan at this time!
What was even more unexpected was that he was so ruthless and decisive in his attack, piercing the heart with an arrow.
However, Dao Xuan was incredibly resilient; despite suffering such severe injuries, he managed to survive.
Although Cangsong had done the same thing in the original story, Lingfeng originally thought that with the current development of the plot, Cangsong would not easily take action at least at this stage.
But who would have thought that this guy would be so brave and fearless, taking advantage of Dao Xuan's lack of vigilance to launch a deadly attack and successfully hit his target.
This sudden turn of events was so dramatic that even Ling Feng stopped what he was doing and stared blankly at everything that was happening before his eyes.
He had already planned to take advantage of the chaos to seize the renowned Zhuxian Sword in one fell swoop.
However, at this moment, he changed his mind and decided to hold back for the time being, waiting for this once-in-a-lifetime spectacle to come to an end before taking action.
The gaze slowly shifted back to Dao Xuan, who was staring blankly at the two who were fiercely fighting, his mind a jumble of thoughts as he pondered why Cang Song had suddenly attacked him.
But no matter how hard he racked his brains, he could not find a reasonable explanation.
What's even more awkward is that everyone around him kept their lips tightly shut, seemingly reluctant to discuss the matter, and no one was willing to answer his questions.
Left with no other choice, Dao Xuan had to temporarily abandon his questioning and instead refocus his attention on the fierce battle unfolding before him.
Cangsong and Tian Buyi fought back and forth, creating quite a lively scene.
But anyone with a discerning eye could see that their seemingly fierce and powerful moves were not actually performed at full strength, clearly indicating that they still retained a sense of camaraderie among their fellow disciples.
After all, they had studied under the same master for many years and shared a brotherhood; neither of them wanted to actually kill the other.
