As for the souls of those rogue cultivators, Li Chengfeng didn't even spare them a glance.
Li Chengfeng's strategy was clearly profound. He chose to let his junior sister face that cunning old man, rather than that powerful but relatively reckless middle-aged man.
This was not only to test his junior sister's adaptability but also to train her calmness and wisdom in the face of complex situations.
Li Chengfeng knew that he couldn't always be by his junior sister's side; she had to learn to face various challenges independently.
And that old man, although his cultivation level was slightly lower, his cunning and trickery were something his junior sister needed to deal with seriously.
Li Chengfeng's speed was astonishing. His Wind and Cloud skill had been cultivated to the peak of the tenth level of Qi Refining, which far exceeded the limits of ordinary people.
Moreover, his "Wither and Flourish Sky-Reaching Skill" and "Kunpeng Bloodthirsty Skill" had also been thoroughly mastered, which made his strength reach a height that even a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator could not match.
However, Li Chengfeng deliberately concealed his strength. The Wind Riding Art flashed under his feet, and a whirlwind flashed behind him, instantly disappearing from the spot.
When the whirlwind reappeared, he was already two miles away. Such speed was beyond the comprehension of ordinary people and even carried the meaning of the Step of Life and Death.
As soon as the middle-aged man appeared, he plunged into the whirlwind created by Li Chengfeng, then let out a scream, and his body was thrown out.
Li Chengfeng killed decisively, delivering a fatal blow, and then quickly used the Wind Riding Art. Another whirlwind appeared, chasing after his junior sister.
On an old tree a hundred miles away, Senior Sister Su Qiushui lay leisurely on the treetop, eating snacks, and watching everything with her divine sense.
She watched Junior Sister Mu Xi's performance, shaking her head and sighing continuously, her disappointment in her junior sister overflowing.
However, when she saw Li Chengfeng's performance, she couldn't help but admire him: "Although this little junior brother is usually timid and submissive, he doesn't drop the ball at critical moments. He is good at planning and careful, which is really good."
Mu Xi's speed was like a gust of wind and rain. In her panic, she failed to use the Whirlwind Technique and could only rely on the help of the Wind Riding Art to run wildly for half an hour before catching up with the old man.
Although the old man only had the cultivation of the fourth level of Qi Refining, which was far from the little girl's level, as a rogue cultivator, his movements were erratic, his methods were varied, and his foundation was unstable, but he could repeatedly turn danger into safety, making the little girl feel very棘手(棘手 means tricky, troublesome, thorny, or difficult to handle).
During the chase, the little girl was drenched in sweat and finally caught up with the old man. She did not hesitate to unleash three wind blades, and the sharp sword energy instantly blocked the old man's retreat.
Seeing this, the old man hurriedly raised his shield to defend, while his body quickly slid backward, and he said: "Little girl, I was also threatened to do this. They saw that I was old, so they pulled me into the gang.
If I don't listen to them, I will definitely be injured by them. You must think clearly and not kill innocent people indiscriminately. What you are using should be the Wind and Cloud Sect's skills, right?
The Wind and Cloud Sect is a righteous sect and must not kill innocent people indiscriminately. If this matter spreads out, it will definitely bring a stain to the sect."
Mu Xi stared at the old man, thinking about his words in her heart. She could see that although the old man was cunning, there was a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
She took a deep breath and said: "If what you said is true, I will naturally not kill innocent people indiscriminately. But if there is half a lie, I will definitely make you regret coming into this world."
The old man nodded repeatedly and said: "Little girl, look at how old I am, how dare I deceive you? This is definitely from the bottom of my heart."
As he said that, he actually dropped his shield, closed his eyes, and looked like he was at the mercy of others.
Seeing this, Mu Xi's heart wavered a little. She stepped forward and said: "Old sir, if you sincerely repent and no longer do evil in the future, I will spare your life. But if you commit another crime, I will never let you off easily."
The old man was overjoyed when he heard this and thanked her repeatedly.
However, just as Mu Xi turned around to leave, the old man suddenly flicked his hand, and several black steel needles flew towards Mu Xi's face with blue flames.
He grinned and said: "Little girl, your experience in the martial world is too shallow. Today, I will take your life!"
In the fierce chase, Mu Xi suddenly realized that the old man's acting was so realistic that she was completely unprepared.
Just when she thought she was powerless to recover and was about to be attacked, the sound of "clang, clang, clang" came, but she did not feel any pain.
She opened her eyes and was surprised to find that Li Chengfeng had already stood in front of her.
It turned out that Li Chengfeng had already used the Wind Riding Art to follow secretly. He deliberately did not take action because he wanted Mu Xi to experience a setback and learn to face danger independently.
Li Chengfeng held the Wind and Cloud Sword and gently waved it, knocking down all the hidden weapons flying towards Mu Xi. Although this Wind and Cloud Sword was the standard long sword of the Wind and Cloud Sect, it seemed exceptionally powerful in Li Chengfeng's hands.
Seeing this, the old man knew that something was wrong and turned around to escape.
But how could Li Chengfeng let him go? He flicked his finger, and the flying sword pierced through the air, accurately piercing into the old man's back, nailing him to the ground.
The old man spat out blood in pain and asked in horror: "You… what disciples of the Wind and Cloud Sect are you? Why are you so tyrannical?"
But Li Chengfeng ignored him, walked over, pulled out the long sword, and with another wave of his hand, beheaded him.
This bloody scene was unacceptable to Mu Xi, and she turned her head and began to vomit.
Li Chengfeng walked over and gently patted her back, comforting her: "Junior sister, go over there to rinse your mouth and calm down."
He did not blame Mu Xi because he knew that this experience was a kind of growth for her.
And Li Chengfeng himself walked to the side of a big tree and also vomited.
He did this to act for Senior Sister Su Qiushui on the tree, wanting her to see his "expert demeanor."
Senior Sister Su Qiushui saw this scene on the tree and couldn't help but laugh secretly in her heart.
She found that Li Chengfeng usually looked a little dull, but he behaved so decisively and bravely at critical moments.
Especially when she saw him enduring vomiting to show his expert demeanor, Senior Sister Su Qiushui couldn't help but laugh out loud, almost falling from the tree.
She sighed in her heart: Youth is good! They have unlimited energy and courage to face the various challenges and difficulties in life.
After Li Chengfeng finished vomiting, he wiped his mouth, breathed for a while, and then returned to the appearance of that shy big boy, striding towards his junior sister.
He put his hands behind his back, imitating the appearance of an old private school teacher, which made Senior Sister Su Qiushui, who was not far away, couldn't help but smile again.
And all of this was quietly recorded by a third-order monster beast named Wind Chime Rat.
Although this Wind Chime Rat was already at the level of an early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, because its bloodline was an ancient divine rat, according to the age of the demon race, it was about the same age as Li Chengfeng and the others.
It carried the Shadow-Retaining Pearl all the way, recording Li Chengfeng and his junior sister's words and deeds. Although it was a monster beast, at this moment, it seemed to be infected by the interaction between Li Chengfeng and his junior sister, and almost laughed out loud.
Senior Sister ordered the Wind Chime Rat to follow all the way, in addition to protecting them, it was also to record their words and deeds, so as to point out their shortcomings in the future.
She didn't expect the Wind Chime Rat to record such an interesting scene, and she felt very gratified.
At this time, Mu Xi had already finished vomiting, lowered her head, pinched the hem of her skirt, and said embarrassedly to Li Chengfeng: "Senior brother, I'm sorry, I let you down again. I didn't expect that old thing to deceive me."
