"The Luo Family's Golden Cicada Body?" A cry of surprise rang out. The human skin fell down, revealing the same fat woman from before. The slender figure who rushed out, upon closer inspection, bore a similar face to the fat woman.

The Luo Family possesses a unique skill: they can grow another layer of skin beneath their existing skin and fat, with the space between the two layers filled with fat and air. Therefore, all direct descendants of the Luo Family have two bodies.

The sudden gust of wind was the foul wind that erupted after her outer layer of flesh detached. Upon smelling the wind, the other three people immediately held their breath, but they also felt a wave of dizziness.

The true body of the direct descendant of the Luo Family is hidden inside a shell. Every once in a while, various medicinal herbs are injected into the air inside to nourish the person inside. Like a cicada shedding its shell, the true body inside will form a unique physique under the influence of various medicines. At this point, one can quickly achieve mastery of Qi cultivation and has the potential to reach the Innate Realm. It is said that this Golden Cicada Body was deduced from the Black Heaven Secret Treasure.

Indeed, this is true. The Black Heaven Gluttony Hall transforms itself into a humanoid weapon by devouring various minerals and medicinal herbs. The Luo Family's Golden Cicada Body is based on this transformation, using its outer shell as a furnace to continuously modify its true form.

Later on, the beings inside became somewhat inhuman, and the drugs they used became increasingly terrifying. Normal humans would faint or die if they encountered these drugs. This was a supreme method that combined various effects such as body tempering, life preservation, poison removal, and weight loss.

Inside, a person was completely naked, with steam and green smoke rising from their body. Of course, this scene was anything but beautiful; fat and toxins were constantly falling off their body.

In a flash, he arrived in front of the package, reached inside, and touched a mask. With a sigh of relief, he grabbed the package and prepared to fly away. As a martial arts family, the Luo Family believed that as long as the mask was delivered to the family, no villain would dare to offend them again. In fact, the Luo Family had previously possessed a Black Heaven Mask, but it had been lost in the previous generation.

Although the other three people held their breath, they were still poisoned, and it was uncertain whether they would survive. As long as she obtained the mask and returned to the family, she would become the next head of the family for her great contribution.

"It's not a pity to lose the Golden Cicada Body for this, since it's already difficult for us to break through to the Innate Realm with the help of the Golden Cicada Body after losing the Gluttony Mask!" Luo Feiyan thought to herself, her body moving without stopping, and she disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Damn it!" the schoolteacher cursed, spitting out a mouthful of black blood. At the same time, he put down the Red Fire Smoke Thunder in his other hand. Once this smoke bomb hit the ground, it would release a large amount of red smoke, obscuring people's vision and causing them to hallucinate. Only he, who had taken the antidote beforehand, could escape it.

Unexpectedly, that woman from the Luo Family struck first. Luckily, he was on guard and didn't inhale much poison gas. He expelled most of it by spitting out a mouthful of blood. If he had inhaled a few more breaths, he might have suffered a serious injury.

"Gentlemen, we agreed to become sworn brothers, but that woman from the Luo Family made her move first, trying to take everything for herself. Why don't we join forces to hunt her down and uphold our righteousness!" the schoolteacher said immediately with a serious expression.

"Brother is right, let's hunt him down together to uphold justice!" the burly man said hurriedly, while retracting the poison needle under his tongue and taking two antidote pills. Despite his strong physique, he was a master of hidden weapons and poisons. Using his tongue to launch poison needles was his specialty. It was precisely because of his expertise in poisons that the poisonous wind from the Golden Cicada Body had no effect on him.

"He's just afraid of facing the Luo Family alone, so he wants to find more people to take the blame." The white-robed youth thought with disdain, but his expression remained unchanged. He dispersed the inner energy of the Thorn Armor he had prepared earlier. This Thorn Armor was a unique martial art passed down in his lineage. It could withstand a large number of blows in an instant and then reflect the energy back to the original path.

The young man in white thought to himself, "If those fools had made a move earlier, I'm confident I could have killed two of them. I never expected them to use the Golden Cicada Body, such a poisonous wind." Looking at the other two, the young man agreed, saying, "For the sake of righteousness, this is the right thing to do. The Luo Family is neither too far nor too near here. Once the Black Heaven Secret Treasure enters the Luo Family, things will get difficult. So let's hurry and chase after them."

"That makes sense, but let's interrogate this kid first. He's been carrying the Black Heaven Secret Treasure for so long, he might have some gains!" The schoolteacher nodded, then looked at Liu Feng with a gloomy expression.

Liu Feng was still trembling, but the blood had stopped flowing. He stood there with his eyes closed. The schoolteacher, holding an iron ruler, walked towards Liu Feng with a solemn expression. This kid's strange appearance might mean he really got something from the Black Heaven Mask. If he could force him to reveal it, then even if he didn't get the Black Heaven Secret Treasure, he wouldn't have left empty-handed.

"Break his legs first, then his hands, restrict his movement, and then interrogate him carefully!" The schoolteacher made up his mind, and then picked up the iron ruler and smashed it down on Liu Feng's feet.

In a daze, the schoolteacher seemed to hear a huge tiger roar, or perhaps he heard nothing at all. The pitch-black ink swirled and transformed into a long sword, the first move of the Five Tigers Gate-Severing Blade: Roar Brings Wind.

A fierce, menacing, domineering, and terrifying slash transformed into a white light that flashed by, followed by a red glow. Blood spurted out, yet not a single drop of blood stained the greatsword held by Liu Feng.

Liu Feng opened his eyes and saw a module pop out from the body that had been cut in two. It opened its blood-red eyes and stared at the other two people. In the slash just now, Liu Feng's body also shuddered, and the blood on his body turned into blood mist and powder and fell off, revealing the white and tender skin underneath, which was like a freshly peeled egg.

"Hey, you two, let's play a game. Guess if I can kill you?" Liu Feng, carrying a knife, walked towards the other two people. Wisps of black malevolent energy surrounded Liu Feng, revealing a strong sense of foreboding.

The burly man had never seen such domineering and fierce swordsmanship before. For a moment, he was somewhat captivated by it. However, having roamed the martial world for many years, he was resilient. With a sip of his mouth, several flying needles the size of cow hair flew towards Liu Feng. If one did not notice the slightest movement of the other's mouth, one would not even realize that he had launched the hidden weapons.

These Ox-Hair Needles are the signature technique of strong men. They fly extremely fast and, because they are made of a special metal, they have excellent penetrating power through internal energy. Under normal circumstances, the target will not even know what happened before being hit by the poisoned needle and dying from the poison.

With his Ox-Hair Needles move, the burly man had tricked countless heroes, but this time, a flash of white light appeared, and the opponent's broadsword swept with immense force, severing all the poisoned needles.

The next moment, Liu Feng lunged forward and appeared in front of the burly man. Several white lights flashed, and the throwing knives, throwing knives, hidden arrows, and iron caltrops were all cut in two. The burly man was also cleaved in two along with his hidden weapons.
