577 He Said You Could Leave, but I Didn’t Say That (3)

Of course, Lin Feng hadn’t been to the path ahead before. He didn’t know whether there were similar nests or not. This was just an excuse to keep moving forward. If they encountered them, that would be good. If they didn’t, so be it.

On the way, the young man in brocade robes said as he walked, “I haven’t had the pleasure of knowing your name, my name is Wu Mingyang.”

Lin Feng smiled and replied, “I’m Nie Zimou.”

Wu Mingyang was taken aback. “So, it’s Brother Nie. My apologies, my apologies.”

Lin Feng was puzzled. “You know me?”

Wu Mingyang smiled and said, “During the second test, there was someone from the Diamond Level Group who advanced directly to the third test. Wasn’t that Brother Nie?”

Lin Feng smiled wryly. He hadn’t expected his name to become known because of that.

Wu Mingyang then looked at Little Black. “And who is this?”

Little Black pretended to be weak and displayed only the aura of an early Diamond Tier member. He chuckled, “I’m… I’m Chu Sanqiang. I was also a bit exhausted and almost perished in the storm. Fortunately, Brother Nie saved me.”

He almost blurted out ‘this seat,’ but managed to hold it back.

As for using the name Chu Sanqiang, Lin Feng just smiled and didn’t say anything.

Meanwhile, Chu Sanqiang, who was absorbing the crystallized space rules underground, suddenly sneezed, almost disrupting the process of absorbing the crystals.

“Who’s cursing me?”

Chu Sanqiang did not think too much about it and did not dare to be distracted. He hurriedly continued to absorb the crystals.

On Lin Feng’s side, Wu Mingyang was somewhat distracted as he looked at the formation that enveloped the three of them.

He hadn’t thought much of it earlier, but now, upon closer examination, he realized that the formation, though simple, exuded a majestic atmosphere.

The fact that Nie Zimou, a Diamond Level member, could sustain the formation while traveling in the storm and even bring two others along made him think that Nie Zimou was no ordinary individual.

So, Wu Mingyang asked, “I heard Brother Nie is from Danyang City, but this formation is quite extraordinary. I wonder where Brother Nie learned the art of formations?”

Lin Feng shook his head and chuckled, “I just improvised it. It’s nothing worth mentioning.”

Wu Mingyang smiled. Since Nie Zimou didn’t want to say more, he didn’t press the issue.

Just like that, the three of them did not say anything else and silently advanced.

As they walked into the late night, the three suddenly felt a sense of unease because they saw a light ahead, moving through the storm.

After the two sides approached a little, they discovered that the other party had used two people to set up a formation together. Only then could they move in the storm. Clearly, they had formed a team to enter the secret realm.

However, both of them had the aura of peak Star Level members.

Of course, due to the storm, Wu Mingyang couldn’t precisely sense their auras.

The two people on the other side were also surprised to see Lin Feng’s group. Wu Mingyang and Little Black clearly appeared to be in poor condition, while Lin Feng seemed fine.

However, in the eyes of the two, even Lin Feng, who was maintaining the formation to protect the three of them, didn’t appear to be in great shape. After all, he was just a Diamond Level member, and it was hard to believe that he could handle two Star Level members.

So, the two of them exchanged glances and immediately had sinister intentions.

“You there, stop!”

Lin Feng halted and looked at the others, feigning nervousness. “Do you have any business with us, Fellow Daoists?”

Little Black, seeing this, found it somewhat amusing, but he, too, pretended to be nervous.

Among the three of them, only Wu Mingyang was genuinely nervous.

Because, as they got closer, he sensed the auras of the two on the other side, both at the peak of the Star Tier.

With his energy severely depleted, he couldn’t even handle one person, let alone two.

Moreover, from the looks of it, they clearly did not come with good intentions.

He hoped they would just take the beast core and spare his life.

While Lin Feng’s formation seemed impressive, it was just a Diamond Level formation. Faced with two Star Level members, he couldn’t hope for much. Would they spare him?

The Star Level cultivator on the other side, seeing Lin Feng stop, smirked and said, “Leave your storage pouches behind, and you can go.”

Hearing that he only needed a storage bag to deal with it, Wu Mingyang immediately heaved a sigh of relief.

Little did he know that Lin Feng would say, “Well, that doesn’t seem fair, does it?”

Until now, Lin Feng had always been the one robbing others, but today, he found himself being robbed.

The two cultivators on the other side were taken aback by his words, and one of them angrily said, “Not fair? How about you leave your life instead, is that fair enough?”

“What, you want my life too? You’re asking for too much!” Lin Feng looked surprised.

Wu Mingyang was stunned and thought that Lin Feng was quite a character. He had thought that Nie Zimou was formidable, but it seemed that he was just playing the fool. Did he think he could trick the other party by pretending to be a fool?

He hurriedly said to the two star level experts, “Fellow Daoists, ignore this fool. He’s not very smart.”

“This is my storage bag. Fellow Daoists, please accept it and leave it in the next path of survival.”

As he spoke, Wu Mingyang threw out his storage bag. Lin Feng and Little Black did not stop him.

One of the peak star level experts took the storage bag and smiled. “Alright, you’re tactful. Hurry up and leave.”

Wu Mingyang immediately felt as if he had been pardoned. He was about to take a step and leave, but there was a spatial storm outside. Could it be that he had to use a formation to block it again?

However, if he did not leave now, would he have to die with Nie Zimou?

Wu Mingyang sighed and gritted his teeth. Then, he set up a formation and left the protection range of Lin Feng’s formation.

However, in the next instant, a blade of light flashed, causing Wu Mingyang to cry out in pain. The protective formation around his body shattered into pieces, leaving him completely exposed to the raging storm.

To make matters worse, he had a gruesome wound across his abdomen, with his internal organs clearly visible, indicating a severe injury.

Confused, he looked towards the assailant, as if questioning their actions.

The attacker coldly responded, “Who told you to give your storage pouch to this guy? He said you could leave, but I didn’t say that.”

It turned out that these two had killed and looted others before, including last night.

The two had an agreement that when they looted something, it belonged to whoever got their hands on it first.

Wu Mingyang had given his storage pouch to one of them, leaving him with nothing, and that was why he had become a target.

With a bitter smile, Wu Mingyang coughed up blood and collapsed to the ground.

The sand and dust stirred up by the spatial storm quickly buried him, leaving no trace behind.

The assailant turned their attention to Lin Feng and Little Black. “It’s your turn now. Since you’re unwilling to hand over your storage pouch, you’ll die.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he slashed down with his saber, and a 1,000-foot-long saber beam immediately appeared in this storm. Even the spatial storm could not destroy its might.

Seeing this, Lin Feng remained still and simply nodded.

This was the first time he had witnessed an expert below the divine level in a level one world. The person used a saber with considerable power.

The saber beam was formidable, and not even the spatial storm could hinder it.

While it was only at 50% of the full power of the spatial storm, it was still a powerful strike.

Clearly, this person had a lot of comprehension of the saber path. This was only the peak of the star level. If he reached the epic level, he might even be able to open his own saber path.

Unfortunately, there was no concept of creating one’s own path in a level one world.

Meanwhile, the individual who had taken Wu Mingyang’s storage pouch was busy inspecting their spoils. Upon seeing their companion’s attack, Lin Feng didn’t flinch or evade. He couldn’t help but feel amused at their actions.

What a fool, thought Lin Feng. Even he wouldn’t dare to easily face an attack like the one his companion had unleashed, especially with the spatial storm nearby. The power of the attack had only been reduced by 40%.

Despite being a mere Diamond Level cultivator, the person seemed frozen in place. Could they have been frightened into submission?

However, in the next moment, the situation took an unexpected turn.

The saber beam, after striking the protective formation on Lin Feng’s head, shattered instantly, but the formation remained intact, leaving everyone, including the attacker, in stunned silence.
