Chapter 386: Chapter 385: Here Comes Another One_1
"Another one?"
Xu Ruoyan knitted her delicate brows. One Li Wushuang was already quite a handful, and now a Xiang Feng had appeared. Faced with two Experts from the Young Master List simultaneously, the pressure instantly intensified.
"So it’s you, ’Violent Dragon’ Xiang Feng."
A flicker of surprise and joy suddenly appeared on Li Wushuang’s face.
By now, he no longer hoped to obtain Xu Ruoyan’s inner armor, let alone the Moon General’s inheritance. As long as he could preserve his life, he would be content.
Undoubtedly, Xiang Feng’s appearance meant he was saved.
"You make it sound so easy. Do you think the Moon General’s power is something you can handle so lightly?"
An unnatural expression flickered across Li Wushuang’s face. However, he still needed to rely on this Xiang Feng to survive for now, so he didn’t say much more, instead shifting his gaze back to Xu Ruoyan.
"Xiang Feng, if we team up, upon success, the Moon General’s inheritance is yours, but the inner armor she wears will be mine. How about it?"
With that, Li Wushuang looked at Xiang Feng.
"Not enough."
Xiang Feng shook his head.
"What?"
Li Wushuang’s expression changed, and he said, slightly annoyed, "What, you can’t even part with a single piece of inner armor? I’ve already made a huge concession!"
He felt he had made a great sacrifice by relinquishing the Moon General’s inheritance. He was only asking for one piece of inner armor, a demand he didn’t think was excessive. Yet, to his surprise, Xiang Feng still rejected it.
This man is far too greedy.
"The inner armor can be yours, of course."
However, Xiang Feng’s next words stunned Li Wushuang. "Aside from that inner armor, everything else is mine—including her."
"Hehe, so Brother Xiang is also a man of... particular tastes. Well, that’s easily arranged. But are you prepared for the aftermath of doing so?"
Li Wushuang chuckled darkly, an understanding expression on his face. After all, for a peerless beauty of the Martial World like Xu Ruoyan, few men could remain unmoved. For him, however, increasing his strength was more important than women, so he was more detached about it. As for others, that might not be the case.
His underlying meaning was, of course, also a reminder to Xiang Feng not to forget Xu Ruoyan’s status.
"Don’t worry, I’m well prepared. The women I’ve... enjoyed... have all been sent to the other world by me."
Xiang Feng grinned, a savage light glinting in his eyes.
This guy.
Under Xiang Feng’s intense gaze, Xu Ruoyan couldn’t help but tense her delicate body.
Within her line of sight, Xiang Feng had already taken out his weapon. It was a Giant Hammer. He slammed the hammer hard onto the ground, and the entire passageway seemed to tremble.
"Attack!"
With a sudden roar, Xiang Feng smashed his hammer towards Xu Ruoyan.
A glint flashed in Xu Ruoyan’s beautiful eyes. How could she allow herself to be struck by such a heavy hammer? As light as a swallow, she had already floated backward, evading the heavy, fierce blow.
WHOOSH.
The Giant Hammer swept fiercely past Xu Ruoyan’s face, whipping up a violent gust of wind. The sheer force of it made Xu Ruoyan’s cheeks sting.
If it had even grazed me, the consequences would have been unthinkable.
"Trying to dodge?"
On the other side, Li Wushuang suddenly sneered. The moment Xu Ruoyan retreated, he abruptly thrust his Breaking Gold Finger towards her back. The beam from his finger pierced the Void, anticipating Xu Ruoyan’s retreat, and shot towards her lower abdomen.
THUMP!
This attack caught Xu Ruoyan somewhat off guard. Fortunately, she was currently protected by the Moon General’s power within her body. Otherwise, if that finger strike had landed squarely, she would have been severely injured.
But even though the damage was greatly reduced, the finger strike still halted Xu Ruoyan’s movement, interrupting her Light Skill.
"Well done!"
Xiang Feng poured all his strength into his arms. Almost at the exact moment Xu Ruoyan was hit by the finger beam, he swung the Giant Hammer in his hands, smashing it towards Xu Ruoyan’s face.
Unable to dodge in time, Xu Ruoyan could only use her sword to block.
CLANG!
An incredibly loud crash resounded. Under the immense force of Xiang Feng’s blow, Xu Ruoyan was sent flying backward like a broken kite, crashing hard against the wall.
Supporting herself with her sword, Xu Ruoyan coughed violently, crimson blood trickling from the corners of her mouth. Even after activating the Moon General’s residual power, she still found it incredibly strenuous to face two Experts from the top forty of the Young Master List.
Moreover, this power was inherently limited and already nearing its depletion. Simultaneously, the moon-white radiance enveloping Xu Ruoyan gradually dimmed.
"Has her power vanished?"
Seeing this, Li Wushuang’s expression flickered with surprise, quickly replaced by an extremely brilliant smile.
Without that mysterious power, Xu Ruoyan would probably struggle to deal with even him alone, let alone the incredibly strong Xiang Feng.
"To take a direct hit from my hammer and not die... It seems you, woman, can endure quite a bit of rough handling."
Xiang Feng rested the Giant Hammer on his shoulder and grinned, revealing deathly white teeth that sent a chill down one’s spine.
The women he’d toyed with before usually couldn’t withstand his... rough play. Often, they would die before he’d had his fill.
For Xu Ruoyan to survive one blow from his hammer showed her Life Force was tenacious. She should be able to last much longer under him.
At this thought, an intense heat surged within Xiang Feng. He raised his Giant Hammer and charged murderously at Xu Ruoyan once more.
"Ice Heart Divine Soul!"
In a moment of crisis, Xu Ruoyan activated her Ice Heart Divine Soul, abruptly boosting her Cultivation to the Grandmaster Third Realm, and then swallowed a cyan elixir.
This elixir was a third-grade high-level elixir called the Wind-controlling Pill. After consuming it, one’s speed could be boosted to that of a regular Master of the Sixth Realm.
Previously, after using the Moon General’s residual power, she had been unable to activate her Ice Heart Divine Soul. This was precisely why she had been overwhelmed by Li Wushuang and Xiang Feng’s combined assault. Otherwise, if both powers could be stacked, she wouldn’t have feared these two in the slightest.
WHOOSH!
Leaving an afterimage, Xu Ruoyan sped towards the other end of the corridor.
I can only concentrate all my True Qi into my legs and escape. If I were to boost my combat power, although I could threaten them, at best it would only put them in a sorry state. If this drags on, I won’t even be able to flee.
It’s not that I haven’t considered killing them both while in my Ice Heart Divine Soul state, but it’s clearly very difficult. Besides, I’m injured, and there’s no guarantee these two don’t have some hidden trump cards. If they do, I’m afraid it would be impossible for me to escape today, even if I had wings.
Of course, by relying on the dual speed boost from the Ice Heart Divine Soul and the Wind-controlling Pill, I’m confident that they won’t be able to catch me in an instant.
