After Talent Evolution, it did not mean the original talent would disappear. Rather, it was as though it had fused into a higher-level talent.
Therefore, Chen Feng's eyesight had been enhanced.
Just now, he had already prepared himself to flee for his life.
He had planned to kite Huang Haisheng through the night and shoot him dead.
Yet the red light that had suddenly appeared in the darkness had directly driven Huang Haisheng back, sending him fleeing in terror.
Judging from the screams that had come from the darkness, even if Huang Haisheng did not die, he definitely would not be in much better shape.
What shocked Chen Feng even more was that red light. If he had not seen wrongly, that had been a Flying Sword?
Was this a Martial World, or a Cultivation World?
All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind.
Then, at that moment, a figure descended from the darkness.
She had a graceful figure and wore a set of red clothes. Her delicate face had a loose strand of hair at her temple, lifted by the breeze. She should have looked like the girl next door, yet her entire being carried a fiery, dashing air.
The moment she landed, she said, "Those Demon Cult followers truly deserve to die!"
"I was a little careless. He actually had complete Evil God Blood on him. He destroyed more than half his body, yet still managed to escape."
"But he was struck by my Sword Qi. He definitely will not be able to make a move for the next few months."
"Where are you from? How did you discover this Demon Cult gathering place?"
The Red-clothed Woman looked directly at Chen Feng in the darkness and asked.
Flames seemed to flicker within her eyes.
Her gaze, nearly tangible, swept over Chen Feng. Before he could answer—
The Red-clothed Woman had already frowned slightly. "You are already eighteen?"
"Awakening a martial talent at your age is rather late!"
"It looks like you lacked resources before, which delayed you."
"Your hands are quite strong. Did you awaken a strength-type martial talent? And your eyesight has also been somewhat enhanced?"
As she spoke, the Red-clothed Woman seemed a little regretful.
With only a glance, she had apparently grasped Chen Feng's physical condition and directly voiced the doubts in her heart.
Hearing the Red-clothed Woman's words, Chen Feng was already deeply shocked.
He had never expected that after merely meeting him once, she would have already figured out his condition.
In that instant just now, he had felt his skin tighten all over.
This is definitely a Martial Arts Expert! Chen Feng thought.
He was also somewhat amazed.
He had not expected to encounter a stronger expert of this world so quickly.
Judging from what Huang Haisheng had shouted before fleeing, this woman was actually one of the rumored Demon Patrol Envoys.
According to what he had heard from Liu Yuan before, Demon Patrol Envoys belonged to the Official Faction.
Within a short time, countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and he naturally came to a decision quickly.
Chen Feng clasped his hands and said in a deep voice, "Thank you, Fairy, for saving me. I am a native of Black Mountain Village."
"Three days ago, Huang Lao Si coerced and framed me. I encountered demons in the mountains and, in the struggle between life and death, somehow escaped back."
"Because I only knew how to shoot arrows, I practiced archery often at home. Yet Huang Lao Si refused to let the matter rest. Over these past few days, he has constantly wanted to kill me."
"Left with no choice, I could only fight back."
"I truly never expected Huang Lao Si to be a demon."
As Chen Feng spoke, he concealed almost nothing apart from his status panel.
He also did not know what kind of personality or intentions this Demon Patrol Envoy had.
If she misunderstood him, she might kill him with a single sword strike.
If he had still been confident that he could hide in the darkness and launch a surprise attack against Huang Haisheng—
Then before this red-clothed sword cultivator, every inch of his body was warning him.
She was too terrifying.
She was absolutely not someone he could deal with in his current state.
Hearing this, surprise finally appeared in the Red-clothed Woman's eyes. "You only just awakened?"
"And you are from this village?"
Chen Feng looked somewhat confused. "Yes. As for talents, I do not know what they are."
A thought had risen in his heart.
Were the various talents related to awakening and evolving cultivation skills—
His Golden Finger, or did this world possess such things as well?
The Red-clothed Woman glanced at Chen Feng and did not explain much. She merely said, "I understand."
"The Huang Family's belongings are your spoils of war. You may take these spoils now."
Chen Feng quickly smiled. "If Fairy had not acted in the end, I fear I would already be dead. These things should all belong to Fairy."
He had no idea what kind of temperament or intentions the Red-clothed Woman had.
Naturally, he would not take these things for himself on his own initiative.
As soon as he finished speaking, the Red-clothed Woman smiled. "I have not stooped so low as to covet your little bit of property. It is just that the commotion here has already drawn the attention of some other martial artists."
"Pick two boxes and leave first."
Chen Feng smiled. "Thank you, Fairy."
There were about seven boxes in the area. The largest was over a meter long, while several had been pried open and contained mostly clothes and such.
Chen Feng had no interest in any of those.
He then chose two sealed small boxes closer to where Huang Haisheng had been. They were only about a foot in length, width, and height.
Besides being easier to conceal with Stealth, small items might also hold better gains.
The Red-clothed Woman nodded. "Mm. Do not run around during the coming days. What is happening in Black Mountain has drawn quite a few Demon Cult followers. With your little strength, if you run into any one of them, you will likely meet a dead end."
"I will come find you again."
Chen Feng was startled and quickly clasped his hands. "Yes. Thank you, Fairy."
Afterward, he felt no attachment whatsoever to the rest of the Huang Family's wealth.
He turned around and left directly.
After all, if this Fairy had not acted, even if he had ultimately managed to drag Huang Haisheng down and shoot him dead, he might still have been severely wounded.
An even worse outcome was also possible.
Moreover, at this time, he had already heard the sound of air being torn in the distance.
His heart tightened.
Clearly, other martial artists had arrived.
As for what exactly had happened in Black Mountain, he had no desire to investigate it now.
Nor did he ask anything further.
He understood well that the more one knew, the faster one died.
He did not yet possess that capability.
Thus, he turned and left directly.
The moment he stepped into the darkness, he immediately used his Stealth Skill.
Within the shadows, he made his way back.
You hid in the darkness. Your Stealth Skill proficiency +2. ...
That night, he had used a great many skills and cultivation techniques. He was utterly exhausted.
The only thing weighing on his heart was that Huang Haisheng had actually escaped.
From their brief encounter just now, the Red-clothed Woman clearly had the ability to kill Huang Haisheng. Chen Feng did not know why she had not done so.
The Red-clothed Woman, still standing where she was, wore a calm expression. After seeing Chen Feng enter the darkness, surprise also appeared in her eyes. "What is going on? He vanished so quickly?"
If not for her senses, even her naked eyes would have had difficulty discovering Chen Feng.
At that moment, the sound of air being torn descended, and several figures had already landed outside the Huang Family.
