Chapter 322: Settled Outcome

Amidst Cheng Feng's complex thoughts, this heart-shaking battle finally drew to a close.

Between the heavens and the earth, as Monk Lingkong's Buddha light completely dissipated, the Flower Baskets of the sisters Hua Kai and Hua Xie also shattered directly into pieces.

The two Fairies landed on the ground, struggling to support their bodies; their clothes were torn, revealing patches of snow-white skin, and the wounds on their bodies and bloodstains on their faces showed that their injuries were extremely severe.

"Cough, cough..." Hua Kai and Hua Xie coughed, a trace of fresh blood spilling from the corners of their mouths. Their complexions were as pale as paper, but the light in their eyes remained firm. Despite being heavily injured, they did not give up hope. Because they knew that as long as they were alive, there was still a chance.

"Sister, can we still hold on?" Hua Xie asked worriedly, her voice somewhat weak.

"Don't worry, little sister. We will definitely be able to survive." Hua Kai comforted her, clutching the Flower Basket fragments in her hand tightly, as if they were their last hope.

This time, they had survived after all.

The miserable state of Monk Lingkong was even more pitiable. His body was already mangled and incomplete, and his life force was about to be extinguished.

Those eyes that were once filled with wisdom and compassion were now hollow and dull, as if all his soul and power had been exhausted in the battle.

He lay there quietly, devoid of his former majesty and imposing aura, leaving only a cold shell and a life about to dissipate.

In the aftermath of the battle, Cheng Feng quickly regained his composure and decisiveness.

He first focused on the two swaying Fairies—the sisters Hua Kai and Hua Xie. Although his heart was filled with admiration and sympathy for them, ensuring his own safety was more important at the moment.

Without hesitation, he took out the Mechanical Dog he carried with him and carefully placed it in a relatively hidden and safe spot, so that it could guard this area and prevent any accidents from occurring.

After making the arrangements, Cheng Feng's gaze turned to the black Flood Dragon corpse in the distance. This massive corpse still appeared majestic and terrifying in the aftermath of the battle, but in Cheng Feng's eyes at this moment, it was the necessary harvest of this trip.

He had originally thought that a big black snake would be the best target for the Talent Stone, but he hadn't expected the other party to have successfully transformed into a Flood Dragon.

He had thought there was no hope for using the Talent Stone, but he ended up encountering an Immortal and learned that such existences existed.

Looking at this massive corpse, Cheng Feng could not help but feel deeply moved. He had not expected this expedition to be so thrilling and exciting. From the moment he accidentally saw Monk Lingkong descend from the sky, to Li Chenfeng shattering his Sword to break the move,

and finally the sisters Hua Kai and Hua Xie fighting the monk with their lives,

standing before the massive corpse of the black Flood Dragon, Cheng Feng could not help but feel an indescribable shock. Although this Flood Dragon had already lost its life,

its massive body, hard scales, and tightly closed eyes all seemed to be telling of the majesty and power it possessed while alive. Even now, the pressure unique to a Flood Dragon still permeated the air, making one shudder.

Cheng Feng took a deep breath, trying to calm the turmoil in his heart. This pressure was not only because of the black Flood Dragon's powerful strength while alive, but also because of the bloodline and temperament unique to the Flood Dragon race. This temperament, even after death, was difficult to dissipate completely.

Facing the black Flood Dragon's incomparably hard scales, the Ordinary Sword in Cheng Feng's hand appeared so powerless that it could not even leave a single scratch.

His brows locked in a frown, and a sense of frustration could not help but arise in his heart. But immediately, he quickly adjusted his mindset and cast his gaze toward the weapons thrown not far away.

There, a Broken Sword lay quietly on the ground; although the blade was broken, it still emitted a faint cold light, revealing its extraordinary past. Cheng Feng's heart stirred, and he walked over quickly to pick up the Broken Sword. He examined the sword carefully, seeing that although the blade was broken, the break was exceptionally smooth, clearly not an ordinary item.

Seeing Cheng Feng go to take her beloved's Broken Sword, Hua Kai hurriedly shouted: "Mor... Mortal, put down... that sword."

Seeing that the Fairy still wanted him not to touch that sword despite being so heavily injured, Cheng Feng grinned: "Fairy, I am only using it for a moment; I will definitely return it to its owner afterward."

Having said that, he walked directly toward the Flood Dragon.

Seeing that Hua Kai still wanted to say something, Hua Xie shook her sister's hand. Hua Kai immediately understood her sister's meaning and said no more, instead grasping to absorb Spirit Qi to soothe the injuries within her body.

Cheng Feng attempted to use this Broken Sword to cut open the black Flood Dragon's scales. As the tip of the sword lightly brushed across the surface of the scales, it actually emitted a crisp sound. Immediately following, a tiny crack appeared on the scale, which then spread rapidly. Cheng Feng felt a surge of joy; he knew that this Broken Sword was truly no small matter.

He increased his force and continued to cut the black Flood Dragon's scales with the Broken Sword. Following his movements, piece after piece of hard scales were gradually peeled away, revealing the soft and elastic flesh inside.

Cheng Feng carefully collected these scales; these scales that even ordinary weapons could not break were all top-tier materials.

He opened a slit directly in the Flood Dragon's flesh and blood, and with his back turned, he took out the Talent Stone and buried it directly into the Flood Dragon's flesh.

The Flood Dragon's blood was being greedily sucked up by the Talent Stone. Cheng Feng watched the Talent Stone; it was greedily absorbing the black Flood Dragon's blood, its surface flashing with a strange light. Cheng Feng could feel the power within the Talent Stone constantly increasing.

As time passed, a quarter of an hour went by, and seeing that Cheng Feng was still there without moving,

the sisters Hua Kai and Hua Xie were somewhat curious, but it didn't matter; as long as they gave themselves a little more time, they could kill the three mortals before them with a single move.

Little did they know, Wei Zhuang and Su Qiang in the distance were staring fixedly at the two, and the Mechanical Dog was hiding not far away.

The muzzles of the machine guns were already aimed; just in case, they were still aiming around the targets to avoid causing unnecessary misunderstandings.

Now, both sides on the field hoped for more time.

This way, they could leave more room for themselves.

Finally, after half an hour, the Talent Stone had sucked away all the parts of the Flood Dragon's blood that were richest in energy and potential bloodline.

And the majestic Flood Dragon body seemed to have shrunk by two sizes, which made Cheng Feng somewhat suspicious: if this Flood Dragon Meat were eaten, could it still help a Martial Artist cultivate?

Looking at the Talent Stone in his hand that now looked like a ruby, Cheng Feng directly used the Broken Sword to cut his own palm.

Following the bleeding wound, he touched the Talent Stone to it; the Talent Stone flowed back into Cheng Feng's body as if returning to its home.

It even healed Cheng Feng's cut palm in the process.

Feeling the foreign object now inside his body, Cheng Feng was not in a hurry and began to cast his gaze toward the two Fairies who were still recovering.

It had to be said that the injured Fairies possessed a kind of shattered beauty.

But Cheng Feng did not want to provoke an existence that could kill him in an instant.

It was just that, what should he do?
