Star Dragon God
Li Dan saw the Bald Man storming out angrily and quickly hid behind Huo Feng and the others.
At that moment, more than a dozen people came out from inside. Leading them was a thin-faced individual, heavily made up, who walked with a sway next to the Bald Man, followed by a group of people who also approached with an imposing demeanor.
Except for the heavily made-up person who wore a strange smile, the others had fierce looks in their eyes, as if they wanted to devour Huo Feng and the others, including Li Dan. Huo Feng's trio was also filled with rage; upon learning from Li Dan that these people specialized in killing and using corpses to enhance their own strength, they wished they could flay these individuals alive, while Li Dan trembled behind them.
At this moment, the Makeup Man stepped forward and said, "Oh! Where did these two handsome brothers come from? Just my type! Oh! I'm feeling a bit shy myself. That bald guy over there is definitely your type! I just reached the Eighth Level of Human Pulse Realm yesterday; let me tame this lady for you. Just don’t do anything to my two fellows, okay? Hehe!" He continued to sway his hips while winking at Huo Feng and Xuanran.
Huo Feng's trio felt an urge to vomit and turned their heads away, no longer looking at the Makeup Man.
While they were secretly discussing, Nangong Yu asked, "What should we do? Those two are at the Eighth Level of Human Pulse Realm, and among those ten or so Loyal Minions under them, three or four are at the fifth level. They won't be easy to deal with." Nangong Yu looked at Xuanran.
Xuanran gritted his teeth and said to Huo Feng and the others, "This time I’ve dragged you down. Here’s the plan: I’ll hold off that Makeup Man; you two can handle the rest."
Huo Feng expressed concern, "But—"
Before Huo Feng could finish, Xuanran interrupted him, continuing, "Don’t worry; I’m not acting on impulse. Think about what that Makeup Man said earlier; unless absolutely necessary, he won’t go all out and will definitely toy with me first. The bald man and those Loyal Minions can’t be guaranteed to hold back, so this is the safest choice."
While they were discussing, the Bald Man was secretly communicating with the Makeup Man, saying, "Don’t kill them unless absolutely necessary; it’s best to capture them alive. They have someone behind them that we can’t handle."
Upon hearing this from the Bald Man, the Makeup Man was taken aback for a moment before returning to his usual demeanor. He walked forward with exaggerated movements and in a sharp voice said, "Oh! My brothers, have you finished your discussion? I've been waiting so patiently! Hehe!"
Hearing the Makeup Man's strange laughter sent shivers down Huo Feng and the others' spines. At this moment, Xuanran stepped forward and declared, "You shameless beast; your opponent is me."
Upon hearing Xuanran refer to him like that, the Makeup Man's face turned red with anger as he felt his makeup begin to crumble due to his tensed muscles.
"Hahaha! You pervert! You're getting so angry that your makeup is going to fall off!" Xuanran continued to provoke him.
The Makeup Man suddenly shifted from anger to laughter and said, "Hmph! You dare to boast in front of me with your Connection Realm Level Six? I'll play with you and make you my private toy. Hehe."
After some banter, the two quickly engaged in battle. Meanwhile, Huo Feng and his group had already devised a plan and were on high alert.
Seeing that the remaining members were eager to take action against him, Huo Feng glanced at Li Dan and then said in a deep voice, "If you dare to take this opportunity to escape, I'll take your life first."
At that moment, the Bald Man laughed loudly and said, "Hahaha... You brat, come fight me quickly! I want to see how strong you are to dare cause trouble at Black Yan Mountain."
Huo Feng shouted back, "You scoundrels will all die; I'll do as you wish right now."
"Phantom Steps!"
Using his combat techniques, Huo Feng charged towards the Bald Man. Just then, Nangong Yu also vanished. As Huo Feng approached the Bald Man, who was ready to counterattack, Huo Feng's figure suddenly slipped out of the Bald Man's line of sight. While the Bald Man was momentarily stunned, Nangong Yu appeared right in front of him.
Realizing he had been tricked by Huo Feng, the Bald Man angrily shouted, "You bastards! If you're a man, come fight me! Is it a man or a woman who should step forward?"
Nangong Yu replied, "Hmph! I'll make you understand the consequences of looking down on women."
"Vajra Celestial Vine!"
Nangong Yu's Origin Force wrapped around her arm and instantly transformed into a vine as thick as a finger, striking towards the Bald Man.
At this moment, Huo Feng had already appeared in front of the Loyal Minions. The Loyal Minions were taken aback and hadn't reacted yet when they saw Huo Feng's fist overflowing with Origin Force, solidifying into stone-like formations attached to his arm and palm.
"Earthquake Strike!"
Huo Feng slammed his fist into the ground, causing blood to pour from the mouths and noses of over ten people as they felt dizzy and unable to move. But in the next second, they couldn't even feel the dizziness anymore.
Before they could recover from their dizziness, Huo Feng's next attack had already arrived.
"Star Blade"
Thousands of silver-white Starlight Blades flew out from around them, heading towards the group of over ten people. In an instant, these individuals were cut in half, dead beyond recovery.
All of this happened in just a few breaths. The fighting in the other two locations came to a halt as everyone stared in shock at this scene. Li Dan was trembling on the ground, terrified; this person who seemed the least threatening was actually so terrifying when they attacked.
At this moment, the Bald Man realized it was not the time to be dazed. It seemed these people were indeed coming for Shadow Cave. He quickly sent a message to the Makeup Man: "Darling, they must be coming for us. There are powerful individuals behind them; we need to fight with all our might and look for a chance to escape."
The Bald Man's eyes became much clearer as he said to Nangong Yu: "I originally wanted to have some fun with you all, but I don't like hitting women. It seems I must make an exception today."
He grabbed the green vine that Nangong Yu had sent flying and yanked it hard. Nangong Yu felt her footing give way, and her body was suddenly pulled toward the Bald Man. She quickly withdrew her Origin Force, causing the vine to disappear, but she still stumbled forward several steps.
Meanwhile, the Makeup Man was using Shadow Fade and Shadow Kill simultaneously, forcing Xuanran to dodge defensively. Xuanran was also injured in the abdomen by the Makeup Man's Shadow Kill.
Huo Feng had no time for further thought as a ghostly blue fire figure appeared beside him and swiftly attacked the Bald Man while he rushed toward Xuanran.
"Raging Wind Demon Finger"
The Makeup Man had just flashed behind Xuanran, preparing to deliver a Shadow Kill to his back when he suddenly sensed a dangerous aura behind him and had to retreat in time, using Shadow Fade to dodge aside.
"Brother Xuanran, are you alright? You should go heal over there; leave this person to me," Huo Feng said beside Xuanran.
Xuanran looked at Huo Feng with a wry smile and said, "I didn't expect you to be so strong, and your Combat Techniques are something I've never seen before. I was planning to compete with you earlier; it seems I was far off. But that's fine; you’ve become my goal now."
Huo Feng smiled lightly without responding. Once Xuanran moved away, Huo Feng turned his attention to the Makeup Man. At that moment, the Makeup Man was also looking at him, hesitant to act rashly. After all, he had just reached the Eighth Level of Human Pulse Realm and had witnessed how Huo Feng had effortlessly dealt with his subordinates moments ago—something he knew he could not achieve himself.
Huo Feng had no time to care about what Makeup Man was thinking; Nangong Yu was still struggling in battle. He couldn't afford to delay and charged directly at Makeup Man.
"Phantom Steps"
"Nether Break"
Seeing Huo Feng's attack approaching, Makeup Man quickly used "Shadow Fade" to escape desperately. Occasionally, he turned back to use "Shadow Kill" to counter Huo Feng.
At that moment, Huo Feng thought, "It seems Li Dan was not wrong. Most of the people here are probably ordinary individuals, and this Makeup Man has likely only learned these two Combat Techniques."
However, Huo Feng kept an eye on the situation with Nangong Yu and noticed that the Bald Man did not seem like an ordinary person. Nangong Yu had her own "Phantom Fire Clone," which allowed her to fight him to a standstill.
Thus, Huo Feng decided to quickly eliminate Makeup Man. He transformed both arms into golden Golden Dragon Arms, clenched his fists, and executed his final "Meteoric Steps."
"Earthquake Strike"
In an instant, Huo Feng flashed beside Makeup Man and simultaneously used "Earthquake Strike" with both Golden Dragon Arms. This Combat Technique is typically only usable with one hand, but due to Huo Feng's Seven Star Inheritance and Dragon Blood enhancement, he could use it with both hands. Makeup Man collapsed to the ground, blood pouring from his mouth.
Huo Feng approached him and placed a palm on Makeup Man's chest. Instantly, Makeup Man fell silent. For someone who viewed human life as insignificant, Huo Feng had no hesitation in taking his life.
Seeing that Makeup Man was easily dealt with, the Bald Man was startled. "It seems I can only find a chance to escape. Although that person is powerful, they shouldn't be able to kill me right away."
At that moment, Huo Feng immediately came before Nangong Yu and said, "Let's team up to deal with him. My Origin Force has been heavily depleted after that series of battles."
Nangong Yu nodded vigorously; she knew she was also running low on energy. Although she was at the same level as the Bald Man, her combat experience was not as rich as his, and she had been outmaneuvered multiple times.
The Bald Man looked at the corpses and pools of blood around him and chuckled bitterly. "It seems I underestimated you from the very beginning."
Then looking at Huo Feng, he said, "I am very curious what kind of face you all have gathered here. If it is even more impressive than theirs, I will truly be convinced. However, I am only impressed by your talent; now I will unveil your mask and see who you really are."
Suddenly, the Bald Man's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and his sturdy, broad body became light and ethereal. Huo Feng and the others noticed that the Bald Man had changed and did not dare to be careless, quickly dispersing.
However, Nangong Yu was still a step too slow. The Bald Man used "Shadow Fade" and had already appeared behind Nangong Yu, with "Shadow Kill" ready to strike at her.
Seeing there was no way to avoid it, Nangong Yu closed her eyes in despair. At that moment, she felt a wave of heat rush toward her and suddenly opened her eyes. She saw the scattered Azure Orchid Flame gradually extinguishing, and Huo Feng had already arrived by her side.
Nangong Yu noticed blood trickling from the corner of Huo Feng's mouth and realized that in this critical moment, Huo Feng had let the Phantom Fire Clone closest to Nangong Yu take the fatal blow for her. This ultimately led to the Phantom Fire Clone dissipating and Huo Feng getting injured.
Huo Feng wiped the blood from her mouth and glared fiercely at the Bald Man, saying, "Who was it that just said not to lay hands on women? Yet as soon as we struck, you targeted a woman. You Shadow Demons deserve to die."
Huo Feng turned to Nangong Yu and said, "You step aside for now; I will handle him alone. I want to test how much I have improved recently and where my limits in battle lie."
"You are injured; can you do it?" Nangong Yu asked worriedly.
"I'm fine; you just need to make sure he doesn't escape secretly," Huo Feng said as she charged forward.
