As she fled stared at her wounded body, as well as at Li Fengfeng, who was currently trying to catch up to her to no avail, Xia Jingfei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

A moment later, the Demonic Cultivator suddenly sped up, causing Li Fengfeng, who was just as wounded as she was, to fall behind.

After only a few days of being chased by Li Fengfeng, the sword cultivator finally left the reach of Xia Jingfei's spiritual sense, allowing Xia Jingfei to finally begin losing him.

In the end, Xia Jingfei continued speeding along for a few more days, ignoring her wounded body, which allowed her to completely lose Li Fengfeng.

Although it was slightly risky, as some other cultivator could have attempted to take advantage of the wounded Xia Jingfei and kill her, the chance that such a thing would happen was extremely low, causing Xiao Jingfei to take this risk.

...

"I should have completely lost him," mumbled Xia Jingfei, feeling that the traps she had left behind her had not been yet triggered.

In the end, Li Fengfeng was just as injured as Xia Jingfei, causing him to abandon this chase and begin recuperating, as did Xia Jingfei as she arrived in one of her many hidden cave abodes.

The moment Xia Jingfei entered the cave abode and closed the formation behind her, hiding it, she immediately began checking her wounds.

Right now, Xia Jingfei had hundreds of small sword wounds, but what the demonic cultivator was most concerned about was the extremely deep slash on her back.

"It seems as though I should be more careful about Li Fengfeng in the future, I didn't expect he was ruthless enough to do something like this..." mumbled Xia Jingfei as she devoured one of the cultivators she had kept as rations inside this cave abode, causing her wounds to slightly heal.

Unlike what Xia Jingfei expected of him, Li Fengfeng, who usually valued human life, actually launched a ruthless sneak attack against Xia Jingfei whilst she was in a heavily populated area.

As one might expect, since Xia Jingfei was truly taken by surprise, Li Fengfeng managed to inflict a heavy wound upon her, but at the same time, a huge number of living beings were killed by the ruthless strike of the sword cultivator.

'In the best case scenario, his state of mind will be harmed by this, in the worst case, he obtains enlightenment...' thought Xia Jingfei as she devoured another one of her rations.

If Li Fengfeng truly obtained enlightenment, truthfully, Xia Jingfei would be a little bit concerned, as that would mean that most of the shackles placed upon Li Fengfeng would be destroyed.

A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

"I need to recover then get out of this place..." thought Xia Jingfei as she began thinking about her plans.

No matter what, even if Li Fengfeng truly became more powerful than before, Xia Jingfei truly did not believe the sword cultivator could hunt her down everywhere.

At this moment, though, Xia Jingfei suddenly smiled.

"I guess doing that wouldn't hurt..." mumbled Xia Jingfei with a smile on her face.

...

A while ago,

As he stared at Xia Jingfei, who was rapidly fleeing, Li Fengfeng couldn't help but grit his teeth, his eyes becoming red.

A few moments ago, Li Fengfeng had taken a huge risk to try to deal a finished blow to the demonic cultivator, sadly though, one single mistake that Li Fengfeng had made immediately turned the tide of the battlefield, allowing Xia Jingfei to escape.

But even though he was currently wounded, Li Fengfeng still persisted and continued chasing after Xia Jingfei.

Sadly though, by the time four days had passed, the demonic cultivator had already escaped the range of Li Fengfeng's spiritual sense, causing him to finally stop.

After simply standing there and staring into the distance for around five minutes, the wounded Li Fengfeng finally regained his senses and retreated, letting Xia Jingfei escape.

...

As he stared at the wasteland filled with death below him, which stretched out for countless Li, far beyond what any mortal could travel in their lifetime, Li Fengfeng couldn't help but grit his teeth.

Li Fengfeng did not try to go down and search for survivors, completely aware of the fact that his sword strike against Xia Jingfei had completely killed everything in the area below him, cultivator or mortal.

...

As he stared at the lifeless cave abode around him, Li Fengfeng couldn't help but fall into doubt.

Was what he had just done right?

Was he right to take so many lives just for the chance to fight Xia Jingfei?

If Li Fengfeng had managed to kill Xia Jingfei using this ambush, preventing many deaths in the future, perhaps he wouldn't have had so many doubts, but right now, all Li Fengfeng could see was his own failure.

Time slowly began passing, seconds turned into minutes, which turned into hours, which turned into days, but even so, Li Fengfeng was still stuck deep into thought.

Around the time a hundred days had passed since the battle, the cave abode around Li Fengfeng suddenly disintegrated, as a palm suddenly smashed itself towards Li Fengfeng, who was still stuck in confusion.

But as soon as he raised his head, and stared at the palm of Xia Jingfei, who had rapidly healed and come here to try to take advantage of his weakness, Li Fengfeng couldn't help but fall even deeper into thought.

If he did not dodge the palm, the wounded Li Fengfeng knew that he would die, but as his body tried to instinctually dodge it, Li Fengfeng's mind refused.

Since he had taken so many lives for this goal of his, wasn't it natural for Li Fengfeng to be willing to give his own?

In just a brief moment, enlightenment suddenly appeared on Li Fengfeng's face, causing his sword to suddenly stab towards Xia Jingfei, who had appeared above him, ignoring the palm that was coming his way.

...

As soon as Li Fengfeng stabbed his sword towards her, a look of horror suddenly appeared on Xia Jingfei's face, causing the demonic cultivator to suddenly retreat, and abandon her attack, allowing her to dodge the attack that would have taken both her and Li Fengfeng's lives.

But even so, in an instant, another huge wound had appeared on Xia Jingfei's body, causing her wounds to return to their previous level, much like Li Fengfeng.
