Strongest Medical Saint-Chapter 707 -
Facing the old crone’s confident demeanor,
Shen Feng was surprised but not panicked, casually gripping the Hidden Edge Sword in his right hand from behind his back.
He hadn’t expected to encounter Jiang Muyun here; it was quite the coincidence, only marred by the unsightly presence of the old hag before them.
He had a good impression of Jiang Muyun and could tell that the young woman leaned towards him. Shrugging his shoulders, he said, "I’m afraid your hands can’t handle my head!"
Gripping the rust-stained hilt of the Hidden Edge Sword a bit tighter, he continued, "We have no grievances or hatreds, and considering I find this lass somewhat pleasing to the eye, I’m willing to give you a chance to leave."
To Meng Cuiqin, such words sounded like the height of arrogance.
She could sense that this youngster in front of her was merely at the Nascent Variation Peak, while she herself boasted a Cultivation at the peak of Tribulation Transcendence. Moreover, as the Great Elder of the Moon Fallen Sect, she was not about to be intimidated by some greenhorn!
Even if this kid truly possessed extraordinary combat ability, she didn’t believe she’d lose to a brat at the Nascent Variation Peak.
Especially after seeing the rusty Giant Sword in the kid’s hand, Meng Cuiqin’s disdain grew even greater. She couldn’t sense anything special about the Giant Sword, which in her eyes was at best a piece of scrap iron. It was disgraceful that the youngster even dared to wield it. She scoffed coldly, "You’re giving ME a chance to leave?"
"This is the least funny joke I’ve heard in my life. Do you think you’re a Condensing Immortal Stage powerhouse? When I wrench off your head later, I hope you don’t bleat in protest. I’ll ensure you savor the process of your head separating from your neck."
Shen Feng shook his head helplessly and said, "This ’least funny joke’ is bound to become your worst nightmare. Why do you not treasure your life?"
Initially, for Jiang Muyun’s sake, as long as the old crone was willing to step back from the precipice, he truly could have spared her life, but clearly, things were not progressing in the direction he hoped to see.
Jiang Muyun, who had been blown back ten or so meters, felt a surge of Blood Qi within her body. Hearing Shen Feng’s proud words, she was filled with doubt and uncertainty. Could Shen Feng really have the confidence to defeat a late stage Tribulation Transcendence powerhouse?
However,
she quickly dismissed the thought, more inclined to believe it was Shen Feng’s tactic.
Compared to his audacious claims, what she found more annoying was Shen Feng addressing her as "lass", as she believed Shen Feng was no older than she was, if not younger.
She couldn’t stand idly by and watch Shen Feng die at the hands of Meng Cuiqin, especially after the incident inside the golden structure.
Not only had Shen Feng refrained from harming her, he had also brought her out safely in the end.
Once again, she moved swiftly in front of Shen Feng and transmitted her voice, "I will do my best to delay her. You must escape immediately, as fast as you can. I might only be able to buy you a few seconds. Everything else depends on your own fate."
Seeing Jiang Muyun standing in front of him once more, Shen Feng’s fondness for the lass grew. In this day and age, people like Jiang Muyun were rare. Such rare species needed to survive. He said, "Lass, step aside."
Upon hearing this,
Jiang Muyun glared fiercely at Shen Feng, showing no intention to move away.
Meng Cuiqin’s smile grew as she saw Jiang Muyun step in front of Shen Feng again.
The moment Jiang Muyun initially interceded, Meng Cuiqin had stealthily taken out a Jade Token to record the scene before her.
As the Great Elder of the Moon Fallen Sect, she naturally couldn’t kill Jiang Muyun without good reason.
However, if the girl persistently acted against better judgment, it would give Meng Cuiqin a legitimate excuse to strike down the sect’s top talent. With evidence in hand, no one could hold her accountable.
This was why she had refrained from acting. She wanted to kill two birds with one stone and had not expected Jiang Muyun to willingly fall into her trap.
"How daring of you, Jiang Muyun, to show such disregard for me, your Great Elder?"
"This youngster is a criminal wanted by both the Righteous Path and the Demon Path, yet you repeatedly obstruct me. I have reason to believe you are his accomplice. Today, I will cleanse the Moon Fallen Sect!"
Her righteous words rang out!
As she finished speaking, her aura surged like a torrent, with a cold killing intent erupting like a volcano. Her eyes fixed on Jiang Muyun, determined to make her the first target.
Spiritual Energy bubbled beneath her feet.
Meng Cuiqin’s figure suddenly vanished from the spot. Jiang Muyun couldn’t catch a glimpse of the Great Elder’s movements and felt a sense of fatal danger rapidly approaching. Was she really going to die here today? Eagerly pursuing cultivation, she had finally seen a chance at the Dragon Leap Gate. Initially full of passion to reach the Middle Realm, she yearned to witness the more splendid world of Cultivation!
As she lost herself in thought, she felt a hand press on her shoulder and her body was pushed aside.
Naturally, she knew it was Shen Feng’s doing.
At that moment,
Meng Cuiqin’s figure suddenly appeared, and seeing Jiang Muyun being pushed away, she hesitated for a second. However, killing Shen Feng first was all the same. Her right hand, transformed into an eagle claw, ferociously reached for Shen Feng’s throat.
This claw!
Was filled with immense power, ripples spread through the surrounding space, seemingly intending to tear off Shen Feng’s entire head directly.
The eagle claw her hand became was wrapped in terrifying sharpness, and at the tips of its fingers, a dazzling light flickered.
Wherever it passed, aside from the incessant rippling ripples, scratch marks began to appear!
The pushed-away Jiang Muyun, feeling the power within this claw, immediately turned pale with shock.
This claw, even a cultivator at the middle stage of Tribulation Transcendence wouldn’t be able to withstand!
While she sighed incessantly in her heart.
Shen Feng quickly placed the giant sword in his hand horizontally in front of his neck.
Meng Cuiqin didn’t expect Shen Feng’s speed to be so fast, but facing this piece of scrap metal, she wasn’t concerned at all.
In the old woman’s eyes, this rusty sword, couldn’t possibly block her attack.
"Clang!"
However, when her eagle claw collided with the rusty sword.
She only felt a pain transmitting through her eagle claw, her feet hastily retreating. She saw that only a bit of rust was scraped off the giant sword’s blade.
She couldn’t sense anything special about this giant sword!
Then, she considered a possibility, that the material of the giant sword was not ordinary, but still, the sword had been absolutely ruined by someone, and it couldn’t be considered a treasure!
When she thought she had figured it out.
Shen Feng didn’t pause; his figure quickly closed in, and the Spiritual Energy within his body surged into Hidden Edge.
However, although Hidden Edge was gathering its power, its appearance remained unchanged, preventing others from detecting the danger within the blade at all.
Meng Cuiqin was once again surprised by Shen Feng’s speed. Seeing this young man brandishing a blunt giant sword, she immediately gathered a formidable shield of Spiritual Energy around her right shoulder.
This defense was enough to block the attacks of a late-stage Tribulation Transcendence cultivator. The giant sword was just extremely sturdy, but its edge showed no sharpness, and thinking it could break through her ultimate Spiritual Energy defense was pure folly.
"Boom!"
Hidden Edge struck the Spiritual Energy defense, only to be blocked outside of it.
Meng Cuiqin sneered, "Kid, I’ve already told you this is the lamest joke I’ve heard in my life. I think it’s time for your charade to end!" ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
Jiang Muyun, who was originally at the side, seeing Shen Feng block the Great Elder’s eagle claw with the giant sword, felt a glimmer of hope arise from within. Could it be that Shen Feng was about to create another miracle?
Unfortunately, the scene before her shattered her hope instantly. The idea of a Nascent Variation at its peak defeating a late-stage Tribulation Transcendence cultivator truly was impossible.
However.
Shen Feng pulled a smile at the corner of his mouth, looking at Hidden Edge, which had been blocked by the Spiritual Energy defense, and said indifferently, "It seems you are ready to meet your nightmare!"
As he spoke.
The input of Spiritual Energy became even more vigorous.
The rust on the entire blade of Hidden Edge fell off rapidly, and an incredibly fearsome sharpness concentrated on the edge of the blade.
"Swoosh!"
The Spiritual Energy defense was split open without any warning, and even Meng Cuiqin was unable to react in time.
Then, another "swoosh!"
Hidden Edge flew past the old woman’s right shoulder, her entire right arm and body suddenly separating, falling to the ground from mid-air!
