"Host, host, the Child of Destiny, Ling Feng, is in the secret realm," the system's voice suddenly rang out.
Nan Xunran raised an eyebrow, looking thoughtful. "Can one Child of Destiny snatch another Child of Destiny's opportunity?"
The system explained, "Host, Lin Zong is dead, so his opportunity will fall to another Child of Destiny."
Nan Xunran nodded slightly. "Where is Ling Feng now?"
"He's already found the Black Tortoise True Blood," the system said excitedly. "Let me show you the way! There are ninety-nine illusion formations around the Black Tortoise True Blood, and undoing them would take a long time."
"Then how did Ling Feng get in?"
"That's the Child of Destiny's halo for you! He was being hunted by a guardian beast and fell straight down near the Black Tortoise True Blood."
Nan Xunran: "..."
Where the Black Tortoise True Blood lay.
A length of tree root stood there abruptly, a faint glow shining from within it. The source of the glow was the Black Tortoise True Blood.
Not far away, Ling Feng stood with a dark expression.
Thinking of Lu Jingyi and Nan Xunran, he clenched his teeth, his face twisting with rage. "Once I get this Black Tortoise True Blood, just wait and see how I torture you two dogs!"
Just then, a faint sound of footsteps rang out.
"Who's there?!" Ling Feng shouted warily.
Lu Jingyi's voice came from nearby. "Ling Feng?"
Ling Feng looked astonished. "Lu Jingyi?! What are you doing here?"
As he spoke, he backed away, trying to block the Black Tortoise True Blood behind him.
Lu Jingyi keenly noticed Ling Feng's movement and followed it with her gaze, looking behind him. "Black Tortoise True Blood?"
A ruthless glint flashed in Ling Feng's eyes. "What? You want to fight me for it?"
Lu Jingyi nodded.
Ling Feng's face was full of disdain. "You?"
Lu Jingyi replied coldly, "Ling Feng, I really want to know where you get your confidence."
Ling Feng charged forward with an angry shout. "Because I really am that strong."
He added viciously, "Be a good girl and become my plaything, and I promise I won't kill you. How about it?"
Lu Jingyi deftly dodged Ling Feng's move and met his attack.
Nan Xunran and Jiang Ruxi remained hidden in the void, quietly watching the two fight.
Nan Xunran looked somewhat surprised. Lu Jingyi was a medical cultivator, yet she could actually trade blows with Ling Feng.
The system's voice rang out in his mind. "She is a Daughter of Destiny, after all. But she's still a medical cultivator, and her stamina can't compare to Ling Feng's."
No sooner had it finished speaking than Lu Jingyi proved no match for Ling Feng. She was sent flying by a heavy blow and fell unconscious.
Ling Feng crouched down in front of her and scoffed. "Where's that pretty boy? Why didn't he come?"
Jiang Ruxi was beside herself with rage. Clenching her fists, she was about to stride out as she shouted, "You're courting death!"
Seeing this, Nan Xunran reached out and stopped her.
He frowned slightly and said to the system, "I think I've only met him once?"
The system explained, "The Child of Destiny and the invincible villain are fated archenemies. Even if you did nothing, he would still bear a grudge against you."
Nan Xunran nodded slightly, his expression indifferent.
He had always been magnanimous, so naturally he wouldn't hold it against a man about to die.
At that moment, Ling Feng turned and walked toward the Black Tortoise True Blood, and Nan Xunran also started to move.
The system hurriedly said, "Host, there's another seal on the Black Tortoise True Blood. You can wait until the Child of Destiny undoes it before taking it."
Hearing this, Nan Xunran stopped and nodded in agreement.
Ling Feng walked up to the tree root and reached out excitedly.
"Roar!" A deafening beast roar suddenly rang out.
Ling Feng staggered back several steps, three deep claw marks appearing on his body in an instant.
He cursed, "Damn it!"
Then he became locked in combat with the vicious beast.
Watching the scene, Nan Xunran asked in his sea of consciousness, "This is the final seal?"
"Yes, host. Ling Feng triggered the seal and awakened the vicious beast. You can take the Black Tortoise True Blood now."
Nan Xunran remained where he was. Calm and intrigued, he said, "I'd like to see how Ling Feng gets out of this."
After a while, Nan Xunran watched the battle with utter boredom.
This Ling Feng was truly remarkable. Every time he came close to death, he could suddenly erupt with power.
After a bitter struggle, he was actually on the verge of wearing the vicious beast down to death.
Just then, the dying beast unleashed the last of its power. Unable to fight back, Ling Feng closed his eyes in despair.
At that critical moment, a dazzling light radiated from Ling Feng. Flames suddenly erupted all over his body and burned fiercely, burning the vicious beast to death on the spot.
The system exclaimed, "Wow, the Heavenly Phoenix Physique has fully awakened!"
After Ling Feng awakened, his injuries healed in an instant.
He kicked the dead beast, then stepped forward to take the Black Tortoise True Blood.
Just then, Nan Xunran slowly emerged from the void. His figure flashed, and he appeared in front of the tree root.
"?!" Ling Feng stared at the two people who had suddenly appeared, his face full of shock and disbelief.
Nan Xunran moved a finger slightly, and the Black Tortoise True Blood followed its motion, slowly floating over to him.
"Stop!" Ling Feng roared in fury and charged forward.
Nan Xunran's expression remained indifferent as he pointed a finger. A bloody hole instantly appeared in Ling Feng's body, and he fell to his knees in pain.
"Hah..." Ling Feng struggled to speak, his voice full of unwillingness.
Nan Xunran smiled faintly. "Don't worry. You'll be next."
