51: Lin Feng arrives and Yunzhi falls in love with him!

Before the words fell, a figure in white robes had gracefully descended in front of Han Yunzhi.

The newcomer was handsome and composed, none other than Lin Feng, who had just arrived.

With a casual flick of his right hand, a bloody, mangled body, like a broken sack, landed with a thud in front of the three Cultivators from Tianque Fortress and Giant Sword Sect.

The man's eyes were wide open, his face still bearing traces of terror and unwillingness; it was precisely the Giant Sword Sect Cultivator who had been pursuing Han Longgen earlier!

"Gulp."

The hook-nosed youth and another Tianque Fortress Cultivator swallowed hard, looking at the clearly unresigned corpse on the ground, then at the calm and collected Lin Feng, a chill rising from their feet straight to their heads.

Who was this person?

He resolved a Qi Refining twelfth-Rank Cultivator in such a short time?

Moreover, he had just... flown down from the sky, hadn't he?

Only Cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage could fly through the air; how did this person enter the Blood Forbidden Ground?

Han Yunzhi's delicate body trembled violently as she stared blankly at this sudden scene, then at the familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar back in front of her.

It was him...

It really was him!

Lin Feng turned around, his gaze falling upon Han Yunzhi, who was still protected by the golden light shield. Seeing her pale face and eyes still filled with lingering fear and confusion, he couldn't help but smile gently.

"Miss Han, two and a half years have passed; do you not recognize me anymore?"

This familiar voice, carrying a hint of playfulness, was like a warm current, instantly dispelling all the coldness and despair in Han Yunzhi's heart.

"Senior... Senior Lin!"

Han Yunzhi's voice trembled, tinged with a sob, and her eyes instantly reddened.

The next moment, she could no longer suppress the excitement and grievance in her heart. She suddenly threw herself into Lin Feng's embrace, her arms tightly wrapped around his waist, burying her head in his chest, and burst into loud sobs.

"Wuwuwu... Senior Lin... I thought... I thought I would never see you again..."

All her strength, all her pretense, completely collapsed at this moment.

The grief of being mercilessly abandoned by her Senior Brother of the same clan, the fear of facing powerful enemies alone, the despair of impending death, and the relief of surviving a disaster at this moment, all these emotions intertwined, transforming into surging tears that soaked Lin Feng's chest.

The Family's exploitation, the indifference of her fellow disciples, her Senior Brother's betrayal... scene after scene flashed through her mind.

It seemed that ever since she could remember, everyone who approached her had some kind of ulterior motive.

Only this man, appearing when she was most disheveled and helpless, bestowed upon her life-saving Talismans, and then, at her moment of life and death, descended like a Heavenly God, saving her from danger.

He was the only one... who truly cared for her without seeking anything in return...

Lin Feng's body stiffened slightly, then relaxed. He gently patted her slightly trembling shoulder, feeling the softness and helplessness of the young girl in his arms, and a hint of pity arose in his heart.

He could understand Han Yunzhi's feelings at this moment.

"It's alright, it's over now," Lin Feng comforted softly. "With me here, you won't be wronged again."

His voice seemed to carry a strange magical power, gradually calming Han Yunzhi's chaotic emotions.

She still held Lin Feng tightly, as if afraid that if she let go, he would disappear.

Meanwhile, the hook-nosed youth from Tianque Fortress and his companion were already scared out of their wits, their Souls Flying Away and Spirit Scattering.

"He must be a Senior above the Foundation Establishment Stage!"

"Run... run fast!"

The two exchanged a glance and turned to flee down the mountain.

However, the sole remaining bearded man from the Giant Sword Sect, upon seeing his Junior Brother's corpse and witnessing Lin Feng and Han Yunzhi embracing as if no one else was present, felt a surge of blood rush to his head.

"Junior Brother!" His eyes were bloodshot as he let out a furious roar.

"You killed my Junior Brother! I'll make you pay!"

The rage, having deprived him of reason, temporarily made him forget his fear of high-Rank Cultivators.

The bearded man roared, the spiritual light on his great sword flashed brightly, carrying the force of a thousand jun, and he chopped down fiercely towards Lin Feng's back!

He wanted to kill this pair of "dog and bitch" together to avenge his Junior Brother!

"Be careful!" Han Yunzhi felt the sharp gust of wind behind her, her face turning pale with fright, and she cried out in alarm, instinctively trying to push Lin Feng away.

Lin Feng, however, still held her, not even turning his head, merely glancing out of the corner of his eye at the enraged sword strike.

He was enjoying the warm, soft embrace in his arms, his nostrils filled with the faint fragrance of the young girl and the slightly salty scent of tears. This tactless brute made him frown almost imperceptibly.

"Noisy."

He didn't even release the arm wrapped around Han Yunzhi; he merely had a thought.

In his Sea of Consciousness, the Da Yan Cultivation Method quietly operated.

An invisible and intangible, yet extremely sharp, Divine Sense spike suddenly pierced into the Sea of Consciousness at the Giant Sword Sect brute's glabella!

"Divine Concealed Spike!"

"Urgh ah--!"

The Giant Sword Sect bearded man's charging figure suddenly stiffened, his pupils abruptly dilated, then quickly diffused, the angry expression on his face frozen, replaced by a blankness and extreme pain.

The great sword in his hand, before it could even strike, drooped powerlessly.

Blood slowly oozed from his seven orifices.

"Bang!"

His robust body crashed to the ground, raising a cloud of dust, already breathless.

He couldn't even let out a complete scream.

The two from Tianque Fortress, who were about to flee, happened to look back and saw this scene, immediately terrifying them to their core, their Souls Flying Away and Spirit Scattering.

What kind of method was this?

Silently, it caused a Qi Refining twelfth-Rank Cultivator to die on the spot!

They didn't even see how the other party attacked!

"Devil! He's a devil!"

The hook-nosed youth shrieked, no longer caring about anything else, desperately urging his magic power, transforming into a yellowish-brown escape light, and shooting down the mountain.

The other Tianque Fortress Cultivator also had a ashen face, clumsily conjuring a flying Talisman, transforming into a green rainbow, following closely behind.

At this moment, both of them had only one thought: escape! The farther, the better!

Lin Feng then slowly released Han Yunzhi, looking at her tear-streaked, beautiful face, reaching out to gently wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and softly said, "See, I told you it would be fine."

Han Yunzhi's pretty face flushed, and she lowered her head a little shyly, but her heart was burning.

Lin Feng turned around, his gaze indifferently sweeping towards the two frantically fleeing escape lights, a cold sneer playing at the corner of his mouth.

"Trying to run? Did you ask me first?"

His Divine Sense had already covered an area of several hundred feet.

The speed of these two Qi Refining Stage Cultivators was no different from a snail's crawl in his eyes.

Two more "Divine Concealed Spikes" were silently unleashed.

Almost simultaneously, the hook-nosed youth and the other Tianque Fortress Cultivator, who were fleeing for their lives, both strangely paused in mid-air.

The expressions on their faces were exactly the same as that of the previous Giant Sword Sect Cultivator: first blankness, then replaced by boundless fear and pain.

"Thud!" "Thud!"

With two muffled thuds, the two fell from mid-air like kites with broken strings, crashing heavily onto the rocks, utterly silent.

In less than a quarter of an hour, all four aggressive plunderers had perished here.

On Coiling Serpent Ridge, the mountain wind blew, stirring up a few fallen leaves, and tranquility returned, leaving only the increasingly strong smell of blood in the air, and Han Yunzhi, standing still, her mind agitated.

She stared blankly at Lin Feng's back; that not particularly imposing figure, at this moment in her eyes, was more reliable and more majestic than any mountain.

In the flick of a finger, powerful enemies vanished into thin air.

Is this the strength of a Senior?

Just then, in Lin Feng's mind, the System's notifications rang out one after another.

"Ding! Emergency Side Quest [Desperate Rescue] has been completed!"

Lin Feng was delighted.

With this Human Realm Anchor Teleportation, he would have an absolutely safe retreat no matter what Restriction or powerful enemy he was trapped by in the future.

Immediately after, another notification sounded.
