Chapter 224: Driving the tiger away from the mountain
"Hmm? Who's spying on my camp?" As night fell, Xiao Feng closed his eyes, enjoying a beautiful woman's massage while habitually surveying the camp with his spiritual sense. Suddenly, he spotted a furtive, dark figure cautiously moving along the edge of the camp's formation, seemingly searching for a weak point in the restriction.
To be on the safe side, he opened his spiritual sense and explored the area within a radius of thirty miles bit by bit to ensure that there were no other ambushes. Then he carefully investigated the black figure. He was wearing night clothes and had an ordinary appearance. It was obvious that he had used a disguise.
"Hmph, you dare flaunt this rubbish breath-holding technique in front of me?" Xiao Feng snorted dismissively. With a single movement of his Qi, he saw through Liu Xing's disguise, clearly revealing his late Foundation Establishment stage cultivation. Liu Xing was practicing the "Ten Directions Breath-Concentrating Technique," a technique he'd used during his Qi training phase, but had abandoned after developing the Turtle Breathing Technique. Now, however, he was using it as a disguise. Of course, against Xiao Feng, a mid-stage Core Formation expert, he was completely exposed.
Liu Xing seemed to be unaware that his whereabouts had been discovered, and he was still secretly studying the restrictions.
"Huh? Your mana is far more profound than that of someone at your level. Even a peak late Foundation Establishment cultivator might not be able to match it. Is this what you're relying on to attack my camp? I'll capture you alive and search your soul!" Xiao Feng was initially surprised by the man's mana, which far surpassed that of his peers, but then scoffed. Since reaching the Core Formation stage, no Foundation Establishment junior had ever escaped his grasp. Moreover, he had already advanced to the Middle Core Formation stage, so dealing with a mere late Foundation Establishment junior would be a piece of cake.
Xiao Feng disappeared silently in the room. Except for the two beauties beside him, no one else was aware of it. The music and singing and dancing continued.
Liu Xing stared ahead in horror, beads of sweat streaming down his forehead. His entire body trembled, as if he were facing a terrifying prehistoric beast.
Xiao Feng quietly came to the outside of the camp and suddenly appeared in front of Liu Xing, looking at Liu Xing, who was like an ant in front of him, with a joking look.
Liu Xing seemed to suppress his inner fear. He waved his hand and flung the poisonous bullet he had just refined from the fourth-level green snake at the opponent. Without even looking at the result of the attack, he turned and ran. Before running, he did not forget to stuff a pill full of spiritual energy into his mouth, as if to use the power of the pill to forcibly improve his cultivation and escape.
"How dare you! You don't even beg for mercy, yet you still dare to attack!" Xiao Feng, like a cat playing with a mouse, penetrated Liu Xing's consciousness like a soul-stealing spell, hoping to use his powerful consciousness to knock Liu Xing unconscious. However, Liu Xing only stumbled and continued to run for his life.
"Huh~" Xiao Feng was a little surprised that the opponent did not fall under his sonic attack.
At that moment, the fang bullet was nearing him, so he casually threw a punch at it. With a loud bang, the fang bullet exploded, sending a cloud of green poisonous mist billowing towards him. A wisp of the poisonous mist entered his nostrils, and Xiao Feng felt a sense of danger. He quickly held his breath, activated his internal profound energy, and expelled the toxins from his body. At the same time, he waved his hand, dispelling the poisonous mist in front of him.
And with this delay, Liu Xing had actually run five miles away. Xiao Feng was once again astonished. There was something wrong with the elixir the other party had taken, surprisingly increasing his mana so much in such a short period of time. If he delayed any longer, he might have escaped.
"Hmph, where are you running to?" Xiao Feng drove the magic weapon and chased after him at high speed. He was really angry. Liu Xing had surprised him again and again and escaped his control. He had to capture him alive and dig out his secrets.
Liu Xing stumbled and stumbled as he fled, using his magical speed to pull away. After chasing and fleeing for over a hundred miles, Liu Xing's face turned pale, indicating that he was at the end of his strength.
Xiao Feng had been taking it easy at first, but now he had to take it seriously. He was also worried about being tricked into leaving the enemy alone, so he mentally set a pursuit distance for himself, no more than a hundred miles.
Liu Xing swallowed another pill, ready to make another desperate attempt to escape his range of consciousness. However, the aftereffects of ingesting so many pills set in, and Liu Xing stumbled and fell into the woods ahead.
"Hahaha, you little bastard, I'll see you run again!" Xiao Feng laughed out loud and rushed over at full speed. However, his consciousness did not relax at all, carefully exploring the woods ahead to avoid ambushes. At his age, he couldn't afford to capsize in the ditch.
The valley was calm, without any spiritual fluctuations, but Liu Xing fainted on the ground due to exhaustion. Xiao Feng walked forward cautiously, and just as he stepped on the ground.
With a humming sound, a large formation was activated. He retreated at a rapid speed, but it was too late. He was already within the range of the formation.
"Oh no!" Xiao Feng's heart skipped a beat. How did he fall into the trap without knowing why? He hated Liu Xing so much. His acting skills were comparable to those of an award-winning actor.
There was no time to replay the trap, or consider the situation at his camp after luring the tiger away from the mountain. He found himself amidst a sea of blood and corpses, the pungent smell of blood piercing his nostrils, and vengeful spirits and ghosts haunted his mind. He cultivated the blood-based magic, and countless innocent lives had been lost at his hands. His inner demons were swirling, and he felt a faint tendency to become possessed. He hurriedly activated his profound energy, desperately resisting, maintaining the last vestiges of clarity within his mind.
Having trapped Xiao Feng, Liu Xing heaved a sigh of relief. He saw Xiao Feng getting up, no longer in the panicked state he had been in before.
"Wolves, listen up and attack!" Liu Xing first issued the attack order to the wolf pack.
"Understood!" The wolves rushed towards the camp like sharp swords drawn from their sheaths according to the established action plan.
The wolf pack fought independently this time, and since he was not there, Wolf One was in command. The battle situation in the camp will not be discussed for now.
At this time, Xiao Feng's face turned red and purple, sometimes hideous and twisted, sometimes gentle and serene, obviously he was trapped in an illusion and couldn't extricate himself.
Liu Xing's goal was to delay time. In order to ensure the power of the illusion array, he did not assist in the attack, but just watched quietly how Xiao Feng overcame his inner demons.
He estimated that the power of the current illusion array could trap and kill a peak late Foundation Establishment cultivator, and could also trap a mid-stage Core Formation expert for two hours. Against a mid-stage Core Formation expert, it would be best if it could trap him for an hour.
Xiao Feng's strength was slightly superior to that of a typical mid-stage Jindan cultivator. Nearly an hour had passed, and he had finally adapted to the illusion and resisted the harassment of his inner demons. He wielded the magical weapon, the Scarlet Blood Blade, and slashed at the entangled spirits, ghosts, zombies, and skeletons like melons and vegetables, clearing a large area in an instant. With a loud shout, he channeled all his magic power into the Scarlet Blood Blade and slashed at the magic circle.
