Chapter 215: Defeating Li Chengfeng

Li Chengfeng was completely stunned!

He never expected that Jiangnan was unaffected by Soft Tendon Powder!

"You... how on earth did you do it?"

Li Chengfeng asked, his voice full of doubt.

"Want to know? Too bad, you won't get the chance."

A flash of murderous intent crossed Jiangnan's eyes; his body flickered, and he slammed a fist down!

"Bang!"

With a muffled thud, Li Chengfeng's body flew out like a kite with its string cut, crashing heavily against the cave's stone wall.

"Pfft!"

Li Chengfeng spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his face as pale as paper, eyes filled with terror and disbelief.

"You... you actually..."

Li Chengfeng struggled to stand, but felt his whole body weak, unable to muster any strength.

"You think your little tricks can really fool me?"

Jiangnan slowly walked to Li Chengfeng's front, looking down at him with disdain in his eyes.

"You... who exactly are you?"

Li Chengfeng's voice was full of fear; he felt he was facing not a person but a demon.

"I am someone you cannot afford to provoke."

Jiangnan said lightly, his tone brimming with dominance.

"You... you cannot kill me! I am a Direct Disciple of the Qijiu Sect; if you kill me, the Qijiu Sect will not let you go!"

Li Chengfeng spoke with a fierce exterior but trembling inside, his eyes full of fear.

"Qijiu Sect? Heh, I've been looking for them."

Jiangnan sneered, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"You... what do you mean?"

A foreboding feeling rose in Li Chengfeng's heart, his voice trembling.

"Nothing special, just want to send every member of the Qijiu Sect straight to hell."

Jiangnan's voice was cold and merciless, like the judgment of the Grim Reaper.

"You... you're insane! The Qijiu Sect's strength is vast, beyond what you can imagine; you're courting death!"

Li Chengfeng shouted in terror, his body trembling continuously.

"Is that so? Then I'll show you who's truly courting death!"

A murderous glint flashed in Jiangnan's eyes; he slowly raised his hand, a sphere of true qi coalescing in his palm.

"No... don't kill me! I... I can tell you a secret, a secret about the Qijiu Sect!"

Li Chengfeng shouted in terror, his eyes filled with a yearning for survival.

"Oh? What secret?"

Jiangnan's eyebrows lifted slightly; he was somewhat curious about what secret Li Chengfeng would reveal.

"We, the Qijiu Sect... are carrying out a plan, a world-shaking plan!"

Li Chengfeng's voice trembled; he dared not hide anything.

"What plan?"

Jiangnan asked, his tone bearing a hint of indifference.

"We... we are cultivating Glowing Mushroom, using human lives as nourishment!"

Li Chengfeng's voice was full of fear; he knew that once this secret was spoken, death was certain.

"What? Using human lives to cultivate?"

Xia Yurou and Feng Ying gasped in shock, their faces filled with astonishment and anger.

"You... you are utterly mad!"

Xia Yurou scolded angrily, her voice full of fury.

"This... this is all the Sect Leader's will; I... I was just following orders!"

Li Chengfeng said with a mournful face, his eyes full of fear.

"Your Sect Leader? Why would he do this?"

Feng Ying asked, her voice full of doubt.

"Because... because the Sect Leader needs Glowing Mushroom to... to awaken!"

Li Chengfeng's voice trembled; he dared not conceal anything.

"Awaken? What does that mean?"

Jiangnan's eyebrows twitched slightly; he sensed the matter wasn't that simple.

"Our Sect Leader... because of the great war a hundred years ago, he was gravely injured, has remained in a slumber, and only Glowing Mushroom can awaken him!"

Li Chengfeng's voice was full of fear; he knew he had no way out.

"The great war a hundred years ago? Could it be..."

A sharp glint flashed in Jiangnan's eyes; he seemed to recall something.

"Exactly, the war with the Zhengyang Sect!"

Li Chengfeng nodded, a fearful expression on his face.

"I see."

Jiangnan nodded, finally understanding why the Qijiu Sect was so madly cultivating Glowing Mushroom.

Jiangnan, what should we do now?

Xia Yurou asked, her voice full of worry.

Of course we go to the Qijiu Sect's lair to meet their Sect Leader.

A cold glint flashed in Jiangnan's eyes, his tone filled with murderous intent.

But… we don't know where the Qijiu Sect's lair is?

Feng Ying said, her voice full of doubt.

I know.

Li Chengfeng suddenly said, a sly spark flashing in his eyes.

You know?

Jiangnan looked at Li Chengfeng, his eyes full of suspicion.

That's right, I know. I can lead you there, but… you must agree to one condition.

A sharp light flashed in Li Chengfeng's eyes; he knew this was his only chance to survive.

What condition?

Jiangnan asked, his tone tinged with a hint of indifference.

Spare me a way to live.

Li Chengfeng's voice was full of pleading; he knew his life hung on Jiangnan's single thought.

Fine, as long as you lead us to the Qijiu Sect's lair, I will give you a way to live.

Jiangnan said lightly, his tone leaving no room for doubt.

Alright! I accept!

A flash of joy crossed Li Chengfeng's eyes; he knew he was safe for now.

But you had better not use any tricks, otherwise I'll make your life worse than death.

A cold glint flashed in Jiangnan's eyes, his tone full of warning.

I won't, I won't; I will honestly lead you there.

Li Chengfeng hurriedly said, fear evident on his face.

That's good.

Jiangnan nodded, turned to Xia Yurou and Feng Ying and said:

You two stay here and wait for me; I'll be back soon.

Jiangnan, be careful!

Xia Yurou said worriedly, her voice full of concern.

Don't worry, I won't be harmed.

Jiangnan reassured, his tone brimming with confidence.

Alright, we'll wait for you to return.

Feng Ying nodded, her eyes full of trust.

Fine.

Jiangnan nodded, turned to Li Chengfeng and said coldly:

Lead the way.

Yes, yes, this way please.

Li Chengfeng hurriedly said, leading ahead while Jiangnan followed closely behind.

The two left the cave, heading deeper into Heifeng Mountain.

Xia Yurou and Feng Ying stood at the cave entrance, watching Jiangnan leave, their hearts full of worry.

Yurou, do you think Jiangnan… won't have any trouble?

Feng Ying asked, her voice full of unease.

Don't worry, Jiangnan is very strong; he definitely won't have any trouble.

Xia Yurou comforted, but a hint of worry flashed in her eyes.

Hmm, I hope so.

Feng Ying nodded, silently praying for Jiangnan in her heart.
