Chapter 119: Purple wolf strikes at last

As the battle between Lu Feng Xian and the Tiger-faced Verdant Dragon Python raged on, impatience began to gnaw away at Lu Feng Xian. He was too far from the camp, and while he was embroiled in the fight, he had no knowledge of the situation unfolding there.

Conversely, the Tiger-faced Verdant Dragon Python’s initial fury gradually gave way to confusion.

Lu Feng Xian swung his weapon down, unleashing his ultimate move, “War God’s Halberd!” The formidable strike descended upon the python.

The Tiger-faced Verdant Dragon Python’s expression shifted slightly as he reacted swiftly. He tilted his head to the left, contorting his body in midair to bring his tail into play against the impending attack.

“The Verdant Dragon’s Scaly Armor!” he exclaimed.

With a loud clash, the tip of Lu Feng Xian’s Sky Piercer Halberd collided with the tip of the python’s tail. However, what followed was the disconcerting sound of scales shattering as the python’s tail exploded in response to the forceful impact.

Taking advantage of the situation, Lu Feng Xian swiftly withdrew his Sky Piercer Halberd and blurred his silhouette. Seizing the moment when the python writhed in pain, he retreated into the surrounding forest.

As Lu Feng Xian dashed toward the camp, he remained unaware that no one was left alive there. Instead, he would soon come upon a gruesome scene of corpses, flesh, and blood strewn across the ground.

As he neared the forest’s edge, his gaze fell upon a figure hurtling toward him from within the woods.

His expression shifted dramatically as he recognized the silhouette concealed within the forest.

It was purple wolf!

The same purple wolf who had fallen unconscious earlier.

Even the Tiger-faced Verdant Dragon Python, who had been pursuing Lu Feng Xian, was bewildered by this turn of events.

After all, purple wolf had been relentlessly pursued by Lu Feng Xian all the way to the lakeside, where he had collapsed in a pitiful state. Yet now, purple wolf had managed to hide in the darkness and launch a potentially fatal attack on the fleeing Lu Feng Xian.

However, Lu Feng Xian’s frantic escape did not mean he would easily fall for purple wolf’s tactics.

Lu Feng Xian, initially confident in his defences as a first-layer Cognizance realm cultivator, had underestimated the gravity of the situation. As his body came into contact with the light beam emitted from purple wolf’s forehead, a sudden shift in his expression indicated something was amiss.

A potent surge of energy invaded his body, wreaking havoc within. He winced in pain and turned his gaze toward purple wolf’s vertical eye. In that moment, he comprehended the dire situation.

Purple wolf was self-destructing his own vertical eye.

“You!” Lu Feng Xian attempted to speak, but he knew it was futile. By choosing to self-destruct even his own innate talent, the vertical eye, it became evident just how determined purple wolf was to eliminate him.

This self-destructive attack inflicted significant damage upon Lu Feng Xian.

The Tiger-faced Verdant Dragon Python watched purple wolf with a mixture of sadness and bewilderment. He couldn’t fathom why purple wolf had chosen to self-destruct his own vertical eye in order to obstruct Lu Feng Xian.

What was this place?

In that moment, he recalled the figure brandishing a blade by the roadside.

Did he attack?

Before Lu Feng Xian could even formulate a thought, let alone utter a curse, his life was snuffed out.

His primordial spirit was ensnared by the blade light conjured by Murong Lin, and its very life essence was drained away. Though it appeared as if his spirit had been rendered bewildered, in truth, his soul had been obliterated.

Lu Feng Xian had met his demise.

The final, decisive strike had been executed by Murong Lin.

This marked the first time Murong Lin had taken the life of a Cognizance realm expert, even if he had only dealt the finishing blow.

Now, he stood witness as Lu Feng Xian’s shattering primordial spirit fragmented into shimmering fragments that dissolved into the ether, vanishing from this world.

In the depths of the sombre forest, the dissolution of his primordial spirit resembled the flickering glow of scattering fireflies, casting an aura of mystique over the serene surroundings.

Murong Lin sheathed his blade, turning towards the depths of the Demonic Beast Forest with a smirk gracing his lips. Not too far from his current location lay the lake of the formidable Tiger-faced Verdant Dragon Python.

He now had one crucial task to accomplish.

Murong Lin directed his puppet, purple wolf, to continue its ruse.

At the lakeside, the Tiger-faced Verdant Dragon Python, who had been circling the area with an anxious expression, noticed purple wolf coughing up fresh blood once more. Unable to contain his concern, he couldn’t help but inquire, “Are you alright? I still have some spiritual medicine in my residence. Should I attend to your wounds first?”

Purple wolf waved a dismissive hand, declining the offer, and took a deep breath. Then, with a voice that fluctuated in volume, making it challenging for anyone to discern his words, he replied, “I have... it’s right here...”

The Tiger-faced Verdant Dragon Python leaned closer, inching towards the wolf as he asked, “Where did you place it? Should I...”

Before he could complete his sentence, a sense of impending danger washed over him, and he realized something was amiss with purple wolf.

Slowly, the wolf’s jaws parted, closing viciously around the Tiger-faced Verdant Dragon Python’s throat.

“Ahh! You!?”
