Chapter 1315: Chapter 1286: Feng Yizhu and Sun Lieyang
Green mountains, clear waters, an Arcadia.
While the Kunlun Sword Sect was busy with the shattered dimensional gate, they were unaware that the person who took the Heart of Kunlun had already arrived in a picturesque mountain range.
Still dressed in green, Feng Yizhu’s face appeared exceptionally relaxed, with a breezy smile on his face.
Ever since obtaining the Heart of Kunlun, such a smile often appeared on his face.
In the past, he only smiled like this to show others. But now, this smile was simply because he wanted to smile.
His mood was great, at least at this moment, truly great.
However, the scenery before him was not as beautiful as his mood.
Unlike the surrounding picturesque mountains and rivers, there were pits and craters not far from Feng Yizhu.
The place was filled with various marks, but no matter what kind of marks they were, it was easy to distinguish… these were traces of battle.
Evidently, not long ago, an unusually fierce battle took place here.
The battle even destroyed the surrounding scenery.
This was an existence akin to an Arcadia, yet now, this Arcadia had become a ruin.
Although not completely desolate, it was quite severely damaged.
Yet, Feng Yizhu still wore a smile on his face.
And not far from him lay a corpse.
Through the somewhat destroyed and visible features, one could vaguely discern that the owner of this corpse should have been a man, and even in his final moments, he seemed incredulous, staring wide-eyed in shock.
“Although it’s a bit regrettable, I always have to find a few opponents to test my strength to know if I’ve truly grown stronger.” Feng Yizhu’s breezy smile remained, but Sun Lieyang, watching from behind, felt a chill run through him.
He slightly turned his head to look at Sun Lieyang, who had come up behind him. Feng Yizhu’s smile did not falter as he squinted slightly and said, “These old fellows have been reclusive for so long. Although each is powerful, not many know of them. So even if they die, it won’t affect the outside world much.”
Sun Lieyang nodded but did not speak.
Because he really didn’t know how to express his thoughts.
He even worried whether Feng Yizhu would take him out if he voiced his true thoughts.
Despite having saved Feng Yizhu’s life before, Sun Lieyang still wasn’t sure what weight his gesture held in Feng Yizhu’s heart.
“Lieyang, I know with your personality, it must be hard for you to accept these kinds of things.” Feng Yizhu paused, then smiled: “Martial Artists, aren’t they born for battle? To die in the hands of a strong warrior, he died with honor. So, can you accept this?”
Sun Lieyang still remained silent.
“Alright, alright. You’re just too soft-hearted.” Feng Yizhu turned his head and waved lightly, causing the body on the ground to disintegrate and dissipate into the air.
Only traces of blood and slightly red soil were left in place.
“Alright, the fact has proven it. The Heart of Kunlun is indeed a good thing.” Feng Yizhu said with a smile: “Let’s end the verification here; we don’t need to look for the next unfortunate fellow.”
Upon hearing Feng Yizhu’s words, Sun Lieyang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, this dead Great Scorching Martial Artist had only crossed paths with them once. But after Feng Yizhu inquired about his whereabouts, he recklessly challenged this powerful figure just to verify his increased strength.
Moreover…when the opponent had already shown willingness to concede, he killed him.
Such behavior from Feng Yizhu genuinely instilled fear in Sun Lieyang.
This man was no longer the man of gratitude and reciprocity whom he had saved before. That man, at the time, had nothing, his family and power all destroyed, but he had a firm and kind heart.
At least, he wouldn’t suddenly kill a stranger.
But the current Feng Yizhu had changed.
Sun Lieyang silently watched the back of this man in front of him; he had gradually lost himself in the pursuit of power.
The thirst for power had already driven him mad.
“Hiss—”
A strange sound suddenly emanated from a small house not far from the two.
Feng Yizhu casually reached out, and the door opened automatically, allowing an item to fly suddenly into his hand.
“Oh, the Hongmeng Order.” Seeing the object in his hand, a peculiar smile appeared on Feng Yizhu’s face.
“It seems there is also a letter behind.” Sun Lieyang reminded.
“Hmm.” Feng Yizhu took out the letter stuck behind it and gently spread it open.
However, the message it conveyed simultaneously turned both Feng Yizhu’s and Sun Lieyang’s expressions peculiar.
“So, the Heart of Kunlun has such a function?”
After finishing reading the letter, Feng Yizhu casually destroyed it and then took out a purple bead from his bosom, lightly chuckling.
This bead was the ‘Heart of Kunlun’ that Feng Yizhu obtained from the Kunlun Mountains!
“At first, I just heard that the Heart of Kunlun was a sacred relic for cultivation, tens of thousands of times more useful than Spirit Stones and Demon Cores, which is why I wanted to obtain it. Unexpectedly, it was suppressing some Formation, how interesting.”
Feng Yizhu’s expression remained unchanged, as if he did not care about the dimensional gate’s fracture at all.
But behind him, Sun Lieyang’s expression had become somewhat gloomy.
“What’s wrong, Lieyang, worried about some otherworldly creatures from the Kunlun Mountains?” Noticing the change in Sun Lieyang, Feng Yizhu couldn’t help asking.
Sun Lieyang nodded.
“No need to worry!” Feng Yizhu patted Sun Lieyang’s shoulder with a smile: “They’re just a bunch of pests parasitic next to the Main World; how can they compare to us?”
“Besides, aren’t those famous sects always thinking of themselves as superior? Let those superior guys block them first. If worse comes to worst and they can’t hold it back, I’ll definitely step in, rest assured.”
Feng Yizhu laughed and said: “You saw it too, my current strength may soon break through the Infinite Hell. Becoming a Heaven-level Expert is not impossible. Once I become a real Heaven-level Expert, no matter what kind of otherworldly creatures, won’t I kill as many as come?”
Sun Lieyang silently nodded. Then he left with Feng Yizhu.
However, in Sun Lieyang’s heart, some things had quietly changed.
