Strange Cave

The square stone platform beneath Han Fei's feet slowly rose. This altar was buried deep underground, and as it ascended, it pushed up a large amount of soil.

Han Fei muttered, "No wonder the ground I blasted a huge pit into a few days ago didn't reveal this altar. It was buried this deep."

The golden runes floating in the air around him grew brighter and brighter. The golden light they emitted seemed to complement the altar, suggesting some kind of connection.

At the same time, in the mountains not far from this location, the Black Veil Woman moved rapidly through the forest. Her target was the area where Han Fei was.

Behind her, Fu Jiahao and the Black Robe Maidservant followed closely. Although the Black Veil Woman's cultivation was the same as theirs, Spirit Gathering Realm sixth level, the gap between them was like heaven and earth.

The Black Robe Maidservant was slightly stronger than Fu Jiahao, and the Black Veil Woman was slightly stronger than the Black Robe Maidservant. Thus, there was a slight difference in their speed. However, the two could still keep up with the Black Veil Woman.

Swish, the Black Veil Woman arrived at one of the three mountain peaks and looked down. In the center of the three peaks, a large light barrier about twenty to thirty meters in diameter appeared.

Through the light barrier, the situation inside could be vaguely seen. Han Fei stood on a square stone platform. The platform was jade green, unlike normal stone, and it felt like an altar.

The Black Veil Woman's appearance did not attract Han Fei's attention. His focus was entirely on the slowly rising altar.

Clang, she drew her Purple Light Sword and immediately lunged towards the golden light barrier.

A black shadow, trailing a purple light, rapidly charged towards Han Fei.

She had initially thought the golden light barrier would be difficult to break through, but to her surprise, when the spiritual energy-infused long sword touched the barrier, it encountered no resistance. Due to the excessive force she exerted, the moment she passed through the barrier, she directly collided with the altar.

Han Fei was startled by the woman's momentum, but he hadn't expected the Black Veil Woman to be so reckless, not slowing down even when so close to him.

However, what he didn't know was that the Black Veil Woman wasn't not slowing down; she couldn't.

Bang, the Black Veil Woman failed to attack Han Fei and instead crashed directly into the altar with a dull thud.

Han Fei blinked. The scene before him was shocking.

Honestly, Han Fei knew at that moment that the woman had definitely come with hostile intent, but her entrance caught him completely off guard.

Han Fei said in a low voice, "Hey, where I come from, people would call this 'faking an accident.' Why did you crash into me when I was just standing here?"

The Black Veil Woman paused for a moment, then slowly got up. She gripped her long sword tightly and said hatefully, "I wasn't trying to crash into you, I was trying to kill you, you..."

Slap, Han Fei slapped the Black Veil Woman across the face, cutting off her words.

The Black Veil Woman was stunned. She had grown up in Asura Hall. Although she had four older brothers above her, her status was the highest, not because of her high cultivation, but because of her high intelligence. At such a young age, she was already a core member of Asura Hall.

This also led to her being extremely strong-willed. At nineteen years old, her cultivation was at the peak of Spirit Gathering Realm sixth level, a level rarely reached by her peers.

Yet, despite such a distinguished status, a proud daughter of heaven, she was slapped by Han Fei. How could she not be stunned?

Meanwhile, Han Fei had already leaped five meters away, standing at the edge of the altar, hopping back and forth, and taunting, "Kill me? Many people want to kill me, who do you think you are?"

The Black Veil Woman took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing her anger, and raised her sword to attack Han Fei.

"You dare to hit my face, I..."

Swish, just as she was about to make a move, Han Fei used short-range teleportation to appear directly in front of the Black Veil Woman's face and slapped her cheek again.

This slap finally subdued the Black Veil Woman. She immediately crouched on the ground and started crying.

Han Fei blinked. Having lived two lives, he had rarely interacted with women, except for Qi Xuanxuan, and didn't know how to comfort them.

At this moment, Han Fei could only deceive himself by treating her as an enemy.

Seeing the surrounding light barrier gradually solidifying, Han Fei thought about moving the Black Veil Woman outside the barrier.

Just then, at the summit of the mountain, the Black Robe Maidservant and Fu Jiahao arrived almost simultaneously. Through the light barrier, they saw the Black Veil Woman being hit.

They immediately intended to rush down, but at this moment, the light barrier's solidification was nearing perfection and had begun to shrink rapidly.

The moment they touched the light barrier, they were repelled by an irresistible force. Both fell more than ten meters away. Fu Jiahao spat out a mouthful of blood, while the Black Robe Maidservant let out a muffled groan, clearly having swallowed the blood back down.

Finally, the light barrier enveloped the entire three-tiered altar. After a flash of light, both individuals above the altar disappeared.

The altar turned completely golden, and then the ground shook again, beginning to sink downwards.

The Black Robe Maidservant stood up, her eyes narrowed as she watched the golden altar disappear into the large pit in the ground.

Fu Jiahao sighed, "What do we do now? Miss is lost."

The Black Robe Maidservant snorted, "What's it to me? I'm not from Asura Hall. You're her direct subordinate, so you should think about how you'll die if Miss is in trouble."

Fu Jiahao frowned and stopped talking, quickly beginning to summon people and calling over his trusted confidants.

Meanwhile, Han Fei and the Black Veil Woman arrived in a dark cave.

Boom, torches automatically lit up on the side walls, illuminating the surroundings.

It turned out they were now in an underground cave. This cave did not seem naturally formed, as Han Fei saw signs of artificial excavation on the walls.

Beside him, the Black Veil Woman was still squatting on the ground, crying. Although she was intelligent, she was naive. She understood everything about the cultivation world, but in terms of social interaction and self-esteem, she was less mature than a child.

Especially her self-esteem; after experiencing such a setback, she had a complete mental breakdown.

At this moment, the Black Veil Woman also realized that she was no match for Han Fei. In all these years, she had mostly killed low-level martial artists. Although her sparring partners were high-level, they never dared to fight her seriously.

Only now did she realize how weak she was, unable to even defeat Han Fei, who was five levels below her.

Little did she know that Han Fei used teleportation to slap her twice. Even if she sensed it, she wouldn't have been able to dodge it, because her blocking movements were not as fast as teleportation.

Han Fei lowered his head slightly, looking at the Black Veil Woman still squatting on the ground and crying, "Hey, are you done yet?"

The Black Veil Woman slowly looked up, her eyes red. The left half of her face was slightly swollen and red, but half of it was covered by the black veil, so Han Fei could only see her eyes. Her wronged expression was heartbreaking.

The Black Veil Woman glanced at her surroundings and discovered they were now in a cave.

Even though Han Fei had slapped her twice until she cried, he felt no pity. This was because when the woman had charged at him, Han Fei had seen Fu Jiahao appear on the mountaintop, along with that mysterious Black Robe woman.

Since Fu Jiahao and the Black Veil Woman were together, they were undoubtedly enemies.

Han Fei said coldly, "You'd best not have any more wicked ideas, or don't blame me for being impolite."

Han Fei wasn't too concerned about the Black Veil Woman; she wasn't his opponent anyway.

As he spoke, Han Fei turned and walked towards the interior of the cave. Unexpectedly, the Black Veil Woman behind him suddenly produced a palm-sized disc and threw it directly in Han Fei's direction.

Han Fei spun around abruptly, drawing the Broken Sword from his back at the same time.

"You're asking for death..."

With a clang, the disc was struck by Han Fei's Broken Sword and instantly flew to the side, crashing against the cave wall.

However, in that instant, Han Fei saw the woman's lips curve upwards through her veil, and he knew it couldn't be that simple.

As expected, after colliding with the stone wall, the palm-sized disc instantly lit up. The light formed a Spiritual Energy net that completely enveloped Han Fei.

The Black Veil Woman's face was filled with rage. She already disliked Han Fei, and now that he had slapped her twice, she was even more determined to vent her anger.

The Black Veil Woman narrowed her eyes. "This is a mid-grade Magic Treasure specifically for trapping people. The light net can isolate all Spiritual Energy. As long as one's cultivation hasn't reached the Martial Origin Realm, they won't be able to escape once trapped by my Magic Treasure."

Saying this, the Black Veil Woman put away her weapon and instead took out an iron rod. She angrily stepped forward, intending to teach Han Fei a lesson and make him remember this.
