Chapter 33

  His smile was like a fatal poppy, so breathtakingly beautiful that it took one's breath away, yet the words he spoke were so mournful that they brought tears to one's eyes.

  Was it his good fortune or her calamity to have won such deep affection from him?

  Phoenix's mood at this moment was like a stormy sea, shaken to the point of being unable to calm herself. However, she couldn't say much more now that her vow had been made, and with the heavenly rules in place, she couldn't just ignore his deep feelings either. So she chose what most people do when faced with emotions - escape, followed by neglect.

  Because there are more important things waiting for her to solve and do now.

  With a flick of her slender hand, several silver needles shot into his body's acupoints like lightning. As she turned around, the long sword that was still stuck in his back suddenly made a "hiss" sound and was pulled out. After briefly bandaging him, she coldly threw down a sentence: "Silver Moon, take good care of him."

  "Yes, miss, Silver Moon will definitely take good care of the young master." At this time, Hu Zui's image in Silver Moon's eyes had undergone a complete transformation. Not only was he incredibly powerful, but he was also handsome and most importantly, he had risked his life to save the miss. It was clear how deeply he felt for her. This young man was truly many times better than that scoundrel Long Yu Kai! So she had already decided that he would be the one to marry into their family!

  Feng Qiexie held the long sword stained with blood in her hand, slowly approaching Huo Yanfeng step by step. The tip of the sword scraped against the bluestone ground, making a piercing sound and splashing sparks everywhere. With each slow step she took, her small face remained expressionless, yet to Huo Yanfeng's eyes, her approach was as ominous as an omen of death, causing her instincts to retreat in fear. At the same time, she pretended to be calm and shouted loudly: "Feng Qiexie, you bloodthirsty person, what do you want to do?"

  What's going on?

  Phoenix's eyes were filled with frost, and there was a hint of blood in them. This sentence is well asked, what does she want to do? What can she do to make her pay for the crime she has committed?

  "Huoyan Ling, it seems you've always taken my indulgence as a capital for your arrogance. Has anyone ever told you that some people are not to be trifled with? Once provoked, the price to pay will be in blood." Feng Qi's eyes gleamed with sinister intent, and his entire being exuded an aura of malevolence that sent shivers down one's spine.

  Facing the demon-like Feng Qiyue, Huo Yanling felt a sudden chill: "You... you dare..."

  "I dare, of course I dare. What do you think Fire Swallow Feather is?" Feng Qiuye sneered with a smile, and the intention to kill had already risen in his heart.

  Huozui, although she is not yet mentally prepared to accept his feelings, she has long been the person she recognizes as her own. Many times of sacrificing herself to save him, through life and death together, she was not untouched, but had always been escaping, but this time, she can no longer escape!

  As she watched the bright red blood flowing out of Huo Yan's body and staining her clothes, she suddenly realized that at some point, she was no longer indifferent to this young man's life or death.

  So, whoever dares to harm him will not be spared by her.

  This ignorant woman, previously slandered and ruined her reputation, that's nothing! Feng Qi was not too concerned about it, but this time she actually had the intention to kill her. In fact, having the intention to kill her is no big deal! Because she knew long ago that this woman didn't like her, it would be strange if she didn't hate her!

  She, Feng Qiuyi, had been the CEO of the Feng Corporation, and how many jealous and hateful eyes she had endured was countless. The number of people who wanted to kill her was as numerous as the hairs on a cow's body, but she had never taken them seriously before. However, this time, Huo Yanling was wrong because she hurt someone she shouldn't have, so she deserved to die.

  Evoking a sinister smile, Feng Qi took step by step towards Huo Yanfeng, holding up the blood-stained long sword, and shouted in a sinister tone: "Huo Yanfeng, go to death!"

  As soon as she finished speaking, the long sword in her hand, stained with blood, was raised high with a "swish" sound, reflecting a bloody red light under the sunlight, and was about to chop down towards Huo Yanfeng's head.

  "You... you can't kill me, I'm the young mistress of the Huo family. If you dare to move against me, my father won't let you off." Huo Yanling's retreating body was blocked, and she couldn't retreat any further. Seeing Feng Qiniang approaching her with a raised long sword, she had been injured by Feng Qiniang's powerful palm that also wounded Huo Zui earlier, and at this moment, she had no inner energy left. In desperation, she shouted loudly, trying to intimidate the audacious woman. She was the young mistress of the Huo family; killing her would be tantamount to provoking a war between families, wouldn't it?

  What's with the Huo family? Haha! She never put the Feng Qi Sect in her eyes, and Huo Yun colluded with Yu Lan Zong to harm other families' children. They are public enemies sooner or later. Moreover, due to her drunkenness, she has even less goodwill towards the Huo family, resentful and angry for a while.

  "Even if Huo Yunqian himself came, he couldn't save you now!" As soon as the words fell, Feng Qi's long sword in his hand swung down fiercely, and under the dazzling sunlight, a bloody glow burst forth.

  Huoyan Ling's eyes widened in terror as she cried out: "Ah... Lin Shao-ge, save me..."

  Ye Lin Shao immediately turned his head to the side, pretending he hadn't heard. This woman, who had treated him like that in Hei Mu Gu Lin, how could he go and rescue her?

  Moreover, he also knew that at this time, no one could save her from Feng Qi's hands. That girl's ruthlessness was something he had witnessed before. Moreover, compared to when he saw her in the Black Wood Ancient Forest, she seemed to have grown even more! It was really unknown how she had cultivated herself, truly a freak of nature.

  Although he knew killing Huo's sister would bring trouble, Feng Zhui Tian did not intervene this time.

  Killing someone and tasting their fate, repaying debts with money, these are the principles of heaven and earth. Why can she kill her own daughter? Why can't her own daughter kill her instead? Thinking back to that scene just now, he felt a chill run down his spine. He could hardly believe it. If it weren't for Huo Zui's timely intervention, saving Ye Er from that fatal blow, Ye Er would probably...

  And the people around, after seeing Huo Yanfeng's shamelessness, saw her shame and actually attacked her from behind. It was simply a shame for the Xuanqi realm. If they had the ability, they would have fought one-on-one with Seventh Miss. They could still look up to her a bit, but now, Huo Yanfeng had undoubtedly become a great shame in their eyes. How could they possibly speak out to beg for mercy on her behalf?

  Even Ye Shuang has this feeling, let alone others?

  So, for a moment, everyone watched as Feng Qi's long sword chopped down towards Huo Yanling's head, but no one spoke out to stop it. Just as they were about to witness the shameless woman being cut down by Seventh Miss, an unexpected scene unfolded!

  At the moment when Feng Qi's long sword was about to slash down, a burst of yellow mysterious energy suddenly shot towards him. The force was so strong that even Feng Qi couldn't underestimate it. However, at this time, she had no choice but to kill Huo Yanfeng, and she didn't care about the incoming yellow mysterious energy as she slashed forward.

  In an instant, a loud "Boom" was heard, and Feng Qiuye was blasted by the sudden yellow mysterious energy, causing her to retreat several steps before barely stabilizing her body. However, the long sword in her hand was broken, and her internal energy was in turmoil. Before she could even calm down, a furious voice rang out: "Feng Jue Tian, is this how you indulge your daughter in killing mine? Do you still care about the peace between our families?"

  Heavens! Feng Qi's eyes widened as he stared at the broken long sword in his hand, and he couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine. He had never expected that Huo Xingyun was hiding such profound strength, his true power was actually that of a 9-star Grandmaster, just one star away from reaching the rank of Grand Emperor!

  Phoenix's words were not unreasonable, and if one were to really discuss it, he indeed had some fault. Between families, there was originally a prohibition against mutual slaughter; Huo Yanfeng's mistake could be attributed to her youth and ignorance, but as the head of the family, if he allowed his younger generation to slaughter the children of other families, then...

  "Haha!"

  Just then, just as Feng was wiping the sweat from his face, a burst of violent laughter suddenly rang out, filled with thick sarcasm.

  "What are you laughing at?" Glaring at that arrogant and ruthless dead man who even wanted to kill his own daughter, Huo Yun was furious. This dead man had already ruined their plans in the Black Wood Forest, but now he dared to laugh so loudly and arrogantly in front of him, the master of the house! It was truly detestable!

  "What am I laughing at? I thought the Huo family master should be very clear about it!" Feng Qi's eyebrows twitched mischievously, and he laughed heartily, but the cold intent in his eyes was enough to freeze people: "Do I need to say it out loud?"

  Upon hearing this, Huo Yun's heart skipped a beat.

  In an instant, Feng Qiexia's evil thoughts turned, and rather than fighting him head-on, it would be better to... A calculating glint flashed in her eyes, and suddenly, Feng Qiexia let out a shocked cry, startling everyone: "Ah! It's... it's you..."

  Terrified, she stumbled backward, her feet tangling together, and her body swayed weakly, almost falling over. Feng Jue Tian was shocked and hastily stepped forward to support her: "Xie Er, what's wrong?"

  "Daddy......" Feng Qiexia leaned into Feng Juetian's arms, sobbing and lifting her small face, her eyes shining with tears, her slender hands trembling as she pointed at Huo Xingyun, her face filled with terror: "It's him, it's him..."

  "What is he?" Feng Jue Tian did not understand.

  Feng Qiuran buried her head in his chest, screaming: "It's him! He's the one who drove us into the man-eating vine area in Hei Mu ancient forest. Brother almost didn't make it out of those man-eating vines... Waaah! Daddy, I'm so scared!"

  Wow!

  Everyone was shocked and stunned by the astonishing news that Feng Qiuye had just revealed! All eyes were fixed on Huo Jingyun in astonishment.

  Huo Yun's face changed as soon as he saw her, and his spirit was immediately startled: "Dead girl, don't talk nonsense. I am the master of the Huo family, how can I do such a thing?"

  "Father!" Feng Qiujian grabbed onto Feng Qiwu's collar in fear, shaking his head in terror: "I'm not talking nonsense, Qier isn't talking nonsense either. At that time, someone forced us into the Man-Eating Vine area, it was people from the Huo family."

  Feng Jue's face turned black as coal, and he glared at Huo Yun with a fierce gaze: "Huo family master, what did you just say?"

  Huojing Yun suddenly sneered coldly: "It's just a child's words, how can you believe it?"

  Upon hearing this, Feng Qiujian's face turned red with rage as he poked his head out of Feng Jiu Tian's embrace and roared at him: "Am I speaking nonsense? Does the master of the Huo family dare to swear an oath? Let me ask you, are our Feng clan disciples being forced into the man-eating vine region really unrelated to your Huo family? Do you dare to swear an oath in front of everyone?"

  To know, the oath of this world cannot be made recklessly, which is undoubtedly the best knife for Feng Qi to take advantage of.

  But at the same time, she was also betting on her intuition that what had driven Feng Fei and them into the Food Chain area initially must have something to do with the Huo family.

  Huǒ Jīngyún's face turned red with rage, and with a wave of his hand, the sword tip that had broken off from Fèng Qīxié's sword earlier transformed into a silver light flying towards her: "You dare to slander our family's master, you're really looking for death."

  Feng Qiujian was shocked and hastily pushed away Feng Qiu Tian. This guy was a nine-star Da Xuan Shi, and with Feng Qiu Tian's five-star strength, he wasn't even a match. At the same time, he threw out the broken sword in his hand, and in an instant, only a loud "clanging" sound was heard, flames splashed, and a strong force burst out, stirring up a cloud of sand dust.

  "What are you doing?" Feng Qitian was furious, being pushed away by Feng Qiuye at the critical moment. He couldn't believe that the master of the Hu family would actually attack a junior, it's really too shameless!

  "It's nothing, just teaching a junior who was disrespectful to the master of this house a lesson."

  Although he appeared to be calm and composed on the surface, the shock in his heart was indescribable. Earlier in the Black Wood Forest, she had won a crushing victory, forcing them to flee in disarray. He had originally thought that she was just relying on those numerous man-eating vines, but he hadn't expected that after this exchange, he would discover that this dead girl's strength was not to be underestimated.

  Feng Jue Tian was about to erupt when Feng Qi Ye pressed him down with one hand, saying slowly: "Father, let me handle things from now on, okay?"

  Today, she must get justice for Zui no matter what, and no one can stop her determination to make Huo Yanfeng pay the price.

  Phoenix hesitated, after all, he was the master of the Huo family, and Xiao Er...

  "Dad, believe me!" Feng Qiuye's slender hand stretched out, and the long sword conjured by Binglan appeared in response. With a resolute gaze that met Feng Zhuti's worried eyes, he said coldly: "Whoever dares to harm my friends will be made to pay the price, no matter how great the cost. If I, Feng Qiuye, don't get justice, I won't be able to rest easy even if I'm alive. I hope you'll support me, Dad."

  Feng's father couldn't help but let out a sigh of resignation, having such a responsible and righteous daughter, he didn't know whether to feel fortunate or sorrowful. Nevertheless, he patted her shoulder, unable to verbalize his words of advice, let out a deep sigh, stepped aside, and tacitly approved of her actions.

  Feng Qi turned around and faced Huo Yun directly. The master of the Huo family, how could he think that just because his daughter did something wrong, he wouldn't have to pay the price?

  Hmph! Nice thinking. The people of Huo's household, she won't let a single one go.

  "If the Fire Clan's master doesn't dare to make a public oath that forcing my Phoenix Clan's juniors into the Man-Eating Vine area has nothing to do with your Fire Clan, then it means you're indeed the ones who did it! In that case, I'll get justice for my Phoenix Clan's juniors. Fire Clan's master, I, Feng Qiye, challenge you here, regardless of life or death."

  A long time...

  It made everyone somewhat disbelieving of their own ears, and then a shocking sound burst forth from the crowd.

  "Heavens! Wang San, did I hear that right? Qi... Miss Qi is going to challenge the Fire Clan's master?"

  "Is... is that right! Are our ears going crazy? Otherwise, how can we possibly hear something so unbelievable."

  Everyone nodded, they also suspected that their ears had gone bad. But there were still a few who had strong acceptance: "No, no, your ears are not wrong, I heard it too! It's Miss Qi who wants to challenge the Huo family master!"

  "My goodness! This is also too surprising."

  "It's not, I say this Seventh Miss is really too ignorant of life and death. You say that with her strength, she actually dares to challenge the Fire Family Master, isn't this seeking death?" Some people immediately shook their heads in disdain for Feng Qiuye.

  "But not everyone agreed: 'That's not necessarily true, I saw Miss Qi and that young man in red earlier when they were fighting! Maybe Miss Qi isn't as incompetent as the rumors say, maybe she's actually very powerful!'"

  "You're just dreaming! A thirteen-year-old little girl, even if she's not as useless as the rumors say, can't be that formidable. How could she possibly be a match for the master of the Huo family?"

  The person who previously said that Seventh Miss was hiding her true abilities was suddenly beaten up by the crowd, and the whole scene erupted in a frenzy!

  Huǒ Jīng Yún saw this scene, his face twisted, his eyes staring coldly at Fèng Qī Xié, and said in a low voice: "Fèng Qī Xié, have you thought it through!"

  Being challenged by a junior is really too humiliating! Huo Yun was so angry that he wanted to slap this guy to death.

  Feng Qi's firm nod, the corners of his lips curled up with a wicked smile, and he tilted his head to glance at Huo Jingyun with an unpleasant expression: "What? The master of the Huo family doesn't dare?"

  Huojingyun's face changed greatly upon hearing the words, and he roared: "You, a little yellow-haired girl, dare to make our family's master afraid? If it weren't for considering the peace between families, just because of this one sentence, our family's master could have slapped you to death."

  Upon hearing this, Feng Qiexia burst out laughing! He laughed extremely wildly: "I, Feng Qiexia, have already said it before, in this challenge to the death, regardless of whether I die or not, the Feng family will not bother you Huo family, so you can rest assured! Just remember one thing, no matter what, don't be like that time in Hei Mu Gu Lin, where you couldn't win and ran away with your tail between your legs! Haha, if you do that again, it'll make everyone under the heavens look down on you, Huo family's master!"
