Chapter 460: Striving to Achieve the KPI (Forty) [Seeking Monthly Tickets]
The mysterious scholar didn't even see how Lin Feng disappeared; the other party vanished in a flash with a single move of [Chasing the Wind and Slipping Through the Scenery].
He looked at it and sighed deeply.
"...Literary inspiration with no usage restrictions..."
"...How enviable..."
Thinking about myself, I feel a little sad.
After his reflection, the mysterious scholar, hands clasped behind his back, followed leisurely. Though slow, each step covered a distance of over ten feet, ensuring he didn't fall far behind Lin Feng. The cave entrance the guards had found was extremely well-hidden; it would be easy to miss even in daylight, let alone at night. He ordered his men to break open the concealed entrance, and a gentle breeze carrying moisture rushed out.
This means there is a way out of this hole.
"Go in."
Five guards led the way, Lin Feng and the shameless mysterious scholar who had snuck up were in the middle, and the remaining five guards brought up the rear.
The cave entrance was initially extremely narrow, forcing everyone to form a single file and carefully pass through. After walking about a hundred steps, it finally became wide enough for two people to walk side by side, and Lin Feng became even more vigilant. It wasn't until they traversed a winding and twisting passage that the cave finally opened up completely.
At the end was a huge space.
The mysterious scholar said, "There have been people here."
There was a simple stone bed in the open space, still warm from the sun, indicating that someone had lain there not long ago.
Speculation: "Did the assassins who launched the attack live here?"
Lin Feng gripped the sword sheath tightly with his fingers.
He said thoughtfully, "Chase them, they haven't gone far!"
Unfortunately, the caves here are interconnected in all directions.
Besides the route they came by, there were about ten other roads leading in the same direction. It was difficult to guarantee that these roads wouldn't fork in the road halfway through, making it impossible to determine the correct one. To this, the mysterious scholar smiled and said, "This, I can help with."
Lin Feng was overjoyed and performed a deep bow.
"In that case, I'll trouble you, sir."
The mysterious scholar waved his hand.
He said, "It's a small matter."
He was also curious about who the "big fish" Lin Feng mentioned was, so he did it casually, which wasn't much trouble. Although the amount of literary energy one could use without spending money was extremely limited, that "extremely limited" depended on who it was compared to. A few minor incantations were no problem.
Wait for his words to activate.
The light gold script transformed into a very thin, long rope.
Starting from the stone bed, it spreads towards one of the exits.
The mysterious scholar said, "Just follow the path."
Lin Feng couldn't wait any longer: "Chase!"
The mysterious scholar said, "We must catch up with the person before the aura dissipates. Once the aura is gone, the instructions will be lost."
He didn't forget to remind Lin Feng.
Lin Feng didn't answer, but gritted his teeth and sped up.
The chase led them out of the cave, only to find themselves facing a cliff. A lone moon hung high overhead, and the wind whipped through their clothes and sleeves. No one was there! Not even a shadow of a person, not even a ghost! Had they followed the wrong path?
The mysterious scholar stepped forward: "The road ahead is a dead end."
Even a skilled and courageous martial artist would have to think twice before attempting this. Lin Feng remained silent, braving the fierce winds at the height to reach the edge of the cliff. Just as the mysterious scholar was trying to find words to comfort her, she made a startling move and leaped off.
Mysterious Scholar: "!!!"
Even if the mission fails, it doesn't mean he should commit suicide, right?
Could this young man also be someone's hired assassin?
The guards behind him were also stunned by this scene and couldn't react. They all shouted in disbelief, "Registrar Lin!"
joke!
If anything were to happen to Registrar Lin, they would be skinned alive by their lord when they returned!
Unexpectedly, in the next instant, an astonishing burst of literary energy erupted from below the cliff, and Lin Feng's voice could be faintly heard.
"Submerge in water and then into fire!"
Then came a series of explosions.
The sound reached the top of the cliff, and the sand and gravel beneath their feet trembled.
Mysterious Scholar: "..."
He had no time to think about who the young man's master was. Using this unconventional method, he jumped down as well, using his spiritual power to lighten his fall and then slowing his descent by using the cliff face. In a few breaths, he steadily caught up with Lin Feng.
The guard left behind on the cliff top: "..."
The mysterious scholar gracefully landed halfway down the cliff, where there was a huge, protruding rock platform.
It can accommodate about ten people to hide in.
He waved his sleeve, summoning a gentle breeze to disperse the sand and dust.
She then saw the body of a burly man, bleeding from all seven orifices, lying at her feet, and not far away lay a young-looking member of the Ten Crows tribe. Judging from Lin Feng's expression, the so-called "big fish" must be him. The mysterious scholar coughed twice, choked by the sandstorm.
Q: "You went to all this trouble just for this?"
Lin Feng didn't answer. Instead, he squatted down and gently pinched the sleeping boy's chin with his fingers. The cold, lonely moonlight shone on his face, outlining an extremely refined and handsome appearance. Yet, his brows still held the spirited air of youth.
The mysterious scholar glanced at it.
He said, "She's quite good-looking."
With deep-set eyes and handsome yet wild features, he was the kind of young man who could make even the most mature women and young wives blush. Look at that serene expression with his eyes closed; it could evoke feelings of tenderness in anyone who looked upon him. Lin Feng finally responded.
"It's just a pretty face."
Mysterious Scholar: "???"
Perhaps the old man's hearing was failing, but the young man's voice sounded somewhat strange, like a trembling voice unable to contain its ecstasy. That kind of fanatical and extreme emotion even affected the rhythm of the energy of heaven and earth around the young man.
He asked, "Arrested? Tied up?"
Lin Feng chuckled coldly: "Kill him!"
A cold, sharp glint flashed across his eyes.
She took a dagger from her sleeve and pulled it out.
He stabbed the boy hard in the heart!
Fresh blood gushed out from the wound.
The boy, who had been unable to wake up no matter what he did, suddenly opened his eyes, seemingly still unaware of what had happened. Lin Feng's familiar face suddenly came into his view, and a thought flashed through his mind—
Wasn't he just asking for information?
Why did Lin Feng suddenly appear?
"you--"
But when he felt a tearing pain in his left chest and his blood rapidly turned cold, he realized that Lin Feng was trying to kill him. The force with which the dagger pierced his chest not only through his front and back but also embedded itself in the ground where he lay.
His eyes widened as he opened them, his eyeballs almost bulging out of their sockets.
Lin Feng didn't care to know his dying words.
She gave a charming smile, but her words were colder than the biting wind at this height: "I've finally found you!"
That gentle tone surpassed even the tender whispers of lovers.
The mysterious scholar on the side was even more confused.
Ah, this...
Could there be some personal grudge or feud between them?
"you……"
The boy strained with all his might to open his mouth, trying to get up and push Lin Feng away. At the same time, he activated his martial energy in his dantian and frantically circulated the martial energy within his meridians. Lin Feng noticed his movements and mercilessly pulled out the dagger and stabbed it into the boy's dantian in an instant.
Grip the dagger tightly and stir it in the wound.
Blood gushed from the wound, splattering across most of Lin Feng's face. She didn't even close her eyes, one hand holding him down to prevent him from moving, the other wielding a dagger and recklessly tearing at the wound. In the boy's eyes, she was nothing short of a demon from hell!
The stalemate lasted for several dozen breaths.
Before he breathed his last, Lin Feng spoke in a gentle, friend-like voice: "Rest in peace. Your brothers, sisters, parents, and relatives will soon meet you on the road to the underworld! Your Highness, Twelfth Prince!"
The boy's eyes were like copper bells; he was unwilling to die.
He died with his eyes wide open in disbelief!
Under the mysterious scholar's watchful gaze, the young man personally severed the boy's head, clutching the dripping blood from his skull, and rose to let out a long sigh. Turning to the boy with a beaming smile, he asked, "Sir, do you have any doubts?"
Mysterious Scholar: "..."
Mysterious Scholar φ(゜▽゜*): I take back what I said earlier, this young man doesn't look like a rebellious son at all...
