28: Severely injured Qian Feng? !

"What kind of method is this?!" The Radiant Thunder Spear pierced through his layers of defenses, directly through his chest. Qian Feng pulled the thunder spear back into his hand, and the opponent's blood spurted out.

What shocked him slightly was that these four Evil Soul Masters showed no sorrow for their fallen comrade. Instead, they went to the side of their dead teammate, their eyes under the black robes turning red, and used soul power to tear apart the opponent's corpse before beginning to gnaw on it.

"Ah!" Ye Lingling was so scared she kept backing away. It was too bloody – Soul Masters eating Soul Masters; she was the first time she had ever seen it.

Qian Feng also showed disgust in his eyes. No wonder Evil Soul Masters were like rats crossing the street on the Continent; they had absolutely no bottom line!

After the four of them finished dividing and eating their teammate's corpse, one of them said in a hoarse voice, "Hehe, hand that girl over to us, and you can leave."

"Purpose?" The thunder spear in Qian Feng's hand glowed with golden light. The opponent seemed extremely resistant to his lightning.

"The Nine Hearted Sea Tang successor, we know her~ She's worth a good price," the man in the black robe said in a hoarse voice.

"Oh," Qian Feng nodded, his figure flashing.

Second Spirit Skill · Lightning Descent!

In just the time it took to breathe, Qian Feng arrived behind the speaker, his left hand piercing the opponent's heart!

"Hehehehe... Martial Soul Fusion Skill · Flesh Symbiosis." This person didn't panic but laughed instead, his body exploding into a bloody mist.

As soon as Qian Feng turned his head, he found that this bloody mist was absorbed by the remaining three. Immediately after, the bodies of the three began to merge with each other, and the voices hidden under the black robes started to overlap.

It seemed as if the three of them merged into the black robe in a twisted posture.

The methods of the Evil Soul Masters were also powerful. After merging, the three's soul power increased to level seventy-two - Soul Saint!

"Seventh Spirit Skill · Martial Soul True Body!"

The three quickly transformed into a three-headed skeleton, constantly spewing green poisonous mist from its mouths.

"Do you take me for a fool, still accumulating skills?" Qian Feng scoffed. While the opponent was still brewing skills, his Fifth Spirit Skill · Clone, along with the thunder spear in his hand, attacked the opponent.

Heavenly thunder dispels evil. Even though he only used level sixty soul power, he still managed to disperse the opponent's true body.

"Impossible! Let's die together..." The opponent knew he had encountered a tough foe. Since there was no chance of survival, he immediately guided his Martial Soul True Body to explode!

A huge cloud of poisonous mist surged outwards. Trees and plants within a ten-mile radius instantly withered and turned into thick poisonous water.

At the last moment, Qian Feng blocked in front of Ye Lingling, using his soul bone to withstand the Ring Explosion damage!

He himself also knelt on one knee, completely drained of strength, spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, turned to look at the panicked Ye Lingling, and said, "Quickly, take me away."

As soon as he finished speaking, he fell forward into her arms.

Ye Lingling's eyes were filled with tears. Only then did she regain her senses. Carrying Qian Feng on her back, she quickly ran towards the distance.

Not long after the two left, a large number of Soul Masters immediately arrived at the scene. However, some low-level Soul Masters who came to spectate fell into a coma after absorbing the ten-mile radius of poisonous mist.

Inside the cave, Ye Lingling, who had fled in panic, brought Qian Feng here.

She didn't know the way, nor where to go, so she just kept running and running with him on her back.

By nightfall, heavy rain mixed with lightning was raging outside the cave.

This allowed her to vaguely see Qian Feng's complexion: "You absolutely must not be in trouble..."

She murmured, but her hands made no movement.

She didn't even summon her Martial Soul.

Ye Lingling looked outside the cave, her eyes filled with hesitation.

At this moment, if she just escaped, she could probably avoid the Spirit Hall's search after changing her name, and she wouldn't become Qian Feng's "subordinate."

Not to mention that Spirit Hall was synonymous with insidious cunning in the mouths of some Soul Masters. She let out a long breath of stale air: "Qian Feng, if you have to blame someone, blame your bad luck! A dignified Young Master goes out without guard protection!"

Ye Lingling made her decision and turned to walk towards the cave entrance. But just as she was about to step out, she suddenly remembered the scene where Qian Feng had blocked in front of her earlier, protecting her.

She turned her head and looked at Qian Feng. At this moment, he was unconscious.

"You... you clearly could have left!"

She bit her lower lip and finally turned back. Standing beside Qian Feng, she held the Nine Hearted Sea Tang in her hands and said, "Nine Hearted Sea Tang · Healing!"

Waves of clear light floated into Qian Feng's body. She closed her eyes completely, and the soul power within her body, like a gushing waterfall, rapidly transformed into healing power.

It was a long time later that Ye Lingling saw Qian Feng's complexion become ruddy. She herself was exhausted, her soul power depleted, and she staggered backward.

The Martial Soul in her hand also dissipated.

Just then, Qian Feng's figure flashed, and he appeared behind Ye Lingling, carrying her in a princess carry. He then carefully placed her on a stone platform, injecting soul power into her body in reverse through his clenched left hand.

Everything that happened before was just a test.

From revealing his level sixty soul power in Spirit Hall, to being "severely injured" just now. Everything was to see how loyal his personal healer was, without a doubt.

If Ye Lingling had chosen to leave the cave just now, it wouldn't have taken even a breath.

Qian Feng would have killed her.

"Silly girl, hehehe... Is this how you use the Nine Hearted Sea Tang?" Qian Feng shook his head with a bitter smile. When Ye Lingling used the Nine Hearted Sea Tang, she just kept pouring in soul power. At this moment, even an ordinary Soul Master could have finished her off with one blow.

Through this incident, Qian Feng's impression of Ye Lingling also improved significantly.

A day passed quickly. The next morning, the clouds cleared and the sky brightened.

Ye Lingling slowly propped herself up, but didn't see any sign of Qian Feng. A sudden sense of loss appeared in her eyes, and she bit her lower lip, murmuring, "He... he dislikes..."

Before her words fell, Qian Feng had already entered the cave with a bag of breakfast. He said gently, "Awake? You used up too much soul power, so you're probably hungry. I didn't know what you liked to eat, so I bought some steamed buns, mantou, and wraps."

Ye Lingling raised her head, looked at Qian Feng, then at the bag in his hand, lowered her head, and said shyly, "Are... are there soup dumplings?"

"Pfft, yes there are. I also bought some milk. Let's make do with this meal," Qian Feng chuckled teasingly.

"Mhm," Ye Lingling nodded. After what happened last night, their relationship seemed to have become closer.

However, sooner or later, Ye Lingling would see through Qian Feng's plan from last night. As for what happens in the future, they would deal with it later.

The two adjusted their condition and began to head towards Soto City.

"Master, be sure to be careful the next time you encounter this situation. If necessary, don't worry about me."

Qian Feng waved his hand, "Don't call me Master, just call me by my name. I don't really like that title."

"Oh," Ye Lingling nodded, glancing timidly at Qian Feng in front of her.

For the first time, a hint of joy appeared in the girl's indifferent eyes.
