Chapter 12: Encountering danger

One head of the two-headed python was severed by that slash, such a severe wound caused it to let out a mournful hiss.

At the same time,

A touch of red crept into its cold eyes, it was obviously driven to madness!

Sure enough,

The remaining head of the two-headed python raised itself and sprayed a thick green liquid at Li Feng.

It was the venom of the two-headed python!

On seeing this, Li Feng hastily activated Luo Smoke Step to dodge.

“Zizzz..."

This venom fell on a bare patch of ground, and the terrifying toxins immediately corroded a large pool into it.

"That poison is truly terrifying!"

Li Feng was inwardly alarmed, then did not delay any longer. He activated Luo Smoke Step to the extreme, in the blink of an eye he reached the two-headed python. Taking advantage of the moment it had just spat out venom and had not yet gathered its breath, his blade repeatedly slashed its body.

With the falling of his long blade,

Numerous bone-deep wounds appeared on the python's body.

The intense pain made the python's huge body twist within the forest, its massive strength destroying countless trees.

The area within a radius of about several hundred feet was in a mess.

But Li Feng, relying on his speed talent, dodged constantly and was not injured at all.

A moment later,

Li Feng sensed the falling breath of the two-headed python and immediately understood that it could no longer hold on!

Indeed,

“Zizzz!"

After it spat out another mouthful of venom, the two-headed python hissed and then turned its head, ready to escape.

"Want to escape?"

Seeing this, Li Feng chased it directly. The blood in his body was running to the extreme, and the blade in his hand was covered with a dazzling cold light, slashing diagonally downwards.

With a slash,

The dazzling blade light shattered the void and heavily fell on the remaining head of the two-headed python.

"Puchi!"

Along with the muffled sound,

The entire ferocious python's head was flung into the sky with a great deal of blood spilled, then fell like heavy rain.

The huge head fell heavily onto the ground.

Up until its death,

Its eyes still carried a touch of fear and confusion.

It seemed that it had no anticipation that it would die right here.

"Phew..."

Looking at the huge body of the python, Li Feng wiped the sweat off his forehead, then took a deep breath.

This fight with the two-headed python, though short, had drained a lot of his vital energy.

If it weren't for recent promotion in Martial Artist, it probably would not be so easy to take it down!

However,

No matter what, he still won!

"Now..."

"It's time for the harvest!"

Li Feng gave a slight smile, walked to the body of the two-headed python. He dug out the gall bladder and snake heart first, stored them into bottles prepared in advance.

Besides,

Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.

Li Feng took out the poison sac.

The venom of the two-headed python is regarded as extremely poisonous. Even Martial Artists who accidentally get in contact with it face inevitable death. It's counted as the most valuable material on this snake.

It would fetch a good sum of money when brought back to the base for sale.

Having done all this, Li Feng tidied up a bit and prepared to leave the Da Shu Mountain.

Just as he was about to turn and leave,

Li Feng’s expression shifted. He looked up, heeding at the noise in the distant, had faintly heard some commotion.

"What's that sound?"

......

In the dense forest,

A frail-looking girl was running in a desperate escape.

Behind her, several chasing wolves were hot on her heels.

"It's all my fault... If it weren't for me, they wouldn't have died..."

Du Jing was fleeing for her life. Recalling the events not long ago, a touch of regret surfaced in her eyes.

Originally, she and Chen Ximei had partnered to hunt two-level beasts on the outskirts of Da Shu Mountain.

Unexpectedly, they discovered dozens of Wind Spirit grasses.

These are a kind of spiritual grass that sprouts after the shift of heaven and earth, which produces a fruit known as Wind Spirit fruit. If eaten, it can enhance a martial artist's comprehension of the wind attribute talent.

She possessed a weak level of wind attribute talent, so she wanted to pick them to augment her gift.

They unexpectedly encountered trainees from the Changfeng Base.

These trainees wanted to forcibly take over the Wind Spirit grasses. Du Jing naturally resisted, leading to a conflict between the two parties.

During their clash, students from both the Luyang Base and the Changfeng Base flocked in, intensifying the situation constantly.

Eventually, even Guo Qun from the Luyang Base and Xu Guang from the Changfeng Base joined in, turning it into a large-scale brawl.

Due to the magnitude of the fight, it attracted the attention of the guardians of the Wind Spirit grass, a large pack of chasing wolves.

Though they were elite, amongst them, only a dozen or so were Martial Artists, while others were Martial Apprentices.

Facing dozens of two-level chasing wolves, even there was a Chasing Wolf King who was on the brink of stepping into level three, they were naturally no match.

Given such a big gap in power, they were soon encircled and assaulted by the pack of wolves.

When she escaped, over a dozen martial artists from the Luyang Base had already lost their lives.

While her,

She was on brink of death, about to be buried in a wolf's belly.

Feeling the gradually depleting strength in her body, Du Jing became increasingly desperate.

She didn't want to die!

Yet she was about to die!

At that moment,

Ahead of her,

A silhouette suddenly sprang from a large tree and charged towards her.

This silhouette, Du Jing vaguely recognized.

"Is it… Li Feng?"

"How could he be here?!"

Du Jing widened her eyes, in disbelief.

As one of Chen Ximei's few good friends, Du Jing naturally knew about Chen Ximei's fiancé, Li Feng, and had met him a few times.

Even more so,

She had even advised Chen Ximei to leave Li Feng as soon as possible.

After all, in her opinion, they weren't from the same world.

"Didn't Li Feng not participate in this trial? How could he be here?"

This thought flashed across Du Jing's mind.

The next moment,

She saw Li Feng holding a fighting blade, like lightning, rushing towards the chasing wolves behind her.

"Li Feng, are you crazy? Those are second-level beasts..."

Du Jing subconsciously shouted out.

However,

Her words were cut off halfway.

Her pupils contracted rapidly.

As she watched,

She saw Li Feng swing his long blade, and a bold chasing wolf got cleaved in half.

At the same time,

The other two chasing wolves charged towards her.

But Li Feng, with a swift movement, quickly maneuvered to several meters away. He swung his long blade, and with a fleeting flash of cold light, two muffled sounds of thuds followed.

Two ferocious wolf heads soared into the air.

Their bodies had fallen on the ground, motionless.

Du Jing's eyes widened in disbelief!

She stood numbly, her mind a total blank.

The three second-level Chasing Wolves which had driven her to desperation, were simply...

....Dead?!

How could this be?!

And...

Wasn't Li Feng just an ordinary person who couldn’t cultivate?

How come he possesses such powerful strength?

One slash to kill a second-level Chasing Wolf with such ease implies that Li Feng must at the very least be a mid-phase martial artist!

Even...

He might even be in the late stages of being a martial artist!

When did he become so powerful?

Or had he been concealing his strength all along?

...

Having finished off the three chasing wolves, Li Feng set about collecting the beast blood.

Moments later, he turned around.

Seeing this student from the elite class still in a daze,

Li Feng couldn’t help but frown.

Is this the standard of the elite class?

In an outdoor environment, with beasts lurking around, would it not be fatal to space out this way?

Du Jing was clueless that her assessment had dropped significantly in Li Feng's mind.

Upon noticing Li Feng's gaze, she comes back to her senses.

"Li Feng......"

"Thank you for saving me."

She looked at Li Feng with complex emotions. There was gratitude in her heart, but even more was shock.

Through the incident before her eyes,

Du Jing came to know Li Feng was not an ordinary person who couldn't cultivate, but was in fact quite powerful.

Even though she didn't understand why Li Feng hid his strength, smartly, she didn’t ask.

She knew very well,

Everyone has their own secrets.

If one wishes to live longer, it's best not to be overly curious.

"You don't have to be so formal."

Li Feng responded lightly.

He was quite satisfied with Du Jing not asking further questions.

Out of curiosity, he asked, "By the way, how did you end up here?"

Du Jing then gave a brief explanation.

Speaking to this point, Du Jing finally remembered the events of the past and an anxious look appeared on her face. "Yes, when we were fighting with Martial Artists from the Changfeng Base, Guo Qun and Chen Ximei were both injured by Xu Guang. Later we encountered the wolf pack, and due to the critical situation, I got separated from Chen Ximei while escaping, I don't know... how she is doing now!"

"What!"

Upon hearing this, Li Feng's pupils contracted sharply.

He hadn't expected that Chen Ximei had actually been injured!

Moreover, she had encountered a pack of Chasing Wolves, and it wouldn't be easy to escape!

"No, I must go check!"
