I Didn't Dodge

Duan Yanqing was a core member of Western Xia's First Rank Hall. He already carried the antidote to Grief-Numbing Breeze and naturally would not be affected.

Xiao Feng had long anticipated this and had placed an antidote pill in his mouth beforehand.

Although Grief-Numbing Breeze counted as a top-tier knockout drug in the world of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, in the Dou Qi Continent, it could at most be considered a Second-Rank Pill.

Before setting out to train, Xiao Feng had specifically purchased some healing medicine and antidote pills. Undoing the effects of Grief-Numbing Breeze was easy enough.

When conducting a Body Projection Simulation, the system perfectly replicated the projection state of the original body at the time, including the storage ring he wore and the items stored inside it.

That was why Xiao Feng had been able to take out a Second-Rank Antidote Pill from his storage ring while no one was paying attention and secretly put it in his mouth.

Looking at the crowd sprawled across the ground, Helian Tieshu sneered. "Men, seize all these beggars!"

Upon hearing this, the First Rank Hall warriors hurriedly took out the hemp ropes they had prepared in advance and tied up the Beggar Gang members like piglets.

Xiao Feng ignored the Western Xia warriors eyeing him hungrily and said expressionlessly, "Duan Yanqing, now that you know you still have a son before your death, you should be able to die without regrets."

!!!

Duan Yanqing's pupils suddenly contracted. Using his hoarse ventriloquism, he asked coldly, "You want to kill me?"

"Wrong! It isn't that I want to kill you. You are the one who must kill yourself."

Xiao Feng shook his head and pointed at Duan Yu, who had yet to recover from his shock. "You and Ye Erniang made the same mistake. You have committed far too many sins. As long as you remain alive, you will inevitably implicate your descendants.

"Only if a great villain like you dies can he continue being the Heir Apparent of Dali Kingdom and inherit the throne in your place someday. Otherwise, he will only become a laughingstock!"

"..."

Duan Yanqing fell silent at those words.

Though Xiao Feng's words were harsh, Duan Yanqing had to admit that they made sense.

"You are right. I should have died long ago..."

After staring for a while at Duan Yu's face, which was at least sixty percent similar to his own in his youth, Duan Yanqing revealed a relieved smile. He slowly raised his right hand and used the One Finger Divine Skill to point at his own brow.

Just as everyone thought Duan Yanqing was about to be talked to death by Xiao Feng, a chilling gleam burst from his eyes. He unleashed the One Finger Divine Skill with all his strength and jabbed it toward Xiao Feng's forehead.

Bang!!!

Because they were too close, and because Duan Yanqing's cultivation was higher than Xiao Feng's, Xiao Feng failed to react before his skull was pierced through in a single strike.

Even though Xiao Feng had obtained the power of the Armored Titan and possessed regeneration strong enough for limb regeneration, once his head was pierced through, death was his only fate.

"You are far too dangerous, and you know far too much. It is best that you die..."

Before Xiao Feng completely lost consciousness, he vaguely heard Duan Yanqing's hoarse voice.

It was no wonder Duan Yanqing feared Xiao Feng so much. The main reason was that Xiao Feng knew too many secrets of the martial world, and he acted far too recklessly.

The Murong Family intended to rebel!

The Beggar Gang's higher-ups had colluded with Kang Min and plotted to frame their own gang leader!

Abbot Xuanci had a son with Ye Erniang!

Duan Zhengchun's son was not his biological son!

Any one of the secrets Xiao Feng had exposed was enough to cause an enormous uproar in the martial world.

Duan Yanqing believed Xiao Feng had some deeper scheme for doing this. To stop him from making use of Duan Yu's identity, Duan Yanqing had to eliminate this hidden danger before his death.

Most importantly, as long as Duan Yanqing and Xiao Feng died, Dao Baifeng could deny everything, and no one would be able to prove that Duan Yu was not Duan Zhengchun's biological son.

When parents love their child, they plan deeply for his future!

Ding! You have died!

This simulation has ended!

Xiao Feng felt his vision go dark. By the time he came back to his senses, he was already in the spacious, dry cave.

"Damn!"

Xiao Feng subconsciously touched his forehead and could not help cursing. "I was too careless. I didn't dodge!"

Xiao Feng had been killed this time partly because he had not expected Duan Yanqing to suddenly go for the kill, and partly because he had been too arrogant.

Xiao Feng should not have treated the people of the Projection World entirely like game NPCs and overlooked their real emotions. He needed to learn from this lesson in the future.

My Rice Bowl... Pah! My opportunity!

Drawing simulation rewards. Of the following ten simulation rewards, please purchase the rewards you need first, then randomly draw two rewards.

During this Body Projection Simulation, Xiao Feng had triggered two projection quests: "Save A Zhu" and "Eradicate Evil Completely."

In the original story, A Zhu had been mistakenly killed by Qiao Feng because Kang Min deceived him into believing that Duan Zhengchun was the Leading Big Brother.

Now that Xiao Feng had directly exposed the secret that Abbot Xuanci was the Leading Big Brother, A Zhu naturally would not be mistakenly killed by Qiao Feng. Thus, the "Save A Zhu" quest was considered complete.

After every simulation, Xiao Feng gained one Free Lottery chance. Adding the extra lottery chance from completing "Save A Zhu," he had a total of two lottery chances.

Soon, the ten simulation rewards were drawn and displayed as follows:

Kang Min's Worn Undergarment (Price: 1 Merit Point)

A Pair of Duan Yanqing's Iron Crutches (Price: 2 Merit Points)

A Zhu's Disguise Technique Experience (Price: 200 Merit Points)

Qiao Feng's Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms Experience (Price: 2,000 Merit Points)

Bottle of Grief-Numbing Breeze (Price: 50 Merit Points)

Wang Yuyan's Hairpin (Price: 1 Merit Point)

Duan Yu's Hundred Poisons Immunity Body (Price: 1,000 Merit Points)

Yue Lao San's Crocodile Shears (Price: 1 Merit Point)

Bottle of Yin Yang Harmony Powder (Price: 5 Merit Points)

Broken Bowl (Price: 1 Merit Point)

Looking at the information on the ten rewards displayed on the Attribute Panel, Xiao Feng stroked his chin, deep in thought.

Although the ten rewards drawn after each simulation were said to be "randomly drawn," the scope of that random draw probably did not encompass the entire Projection World. Instead, it was limited to things that had appeared near Xiao Feng.

For example, the rewards before Xiao Feng were clearly all related to the people in Apricot Forest.

That meant that when Xiao Feng conducted Body Projection Simulations in the future, he needed to find ways to come into contact with as many Combat Power Ceilings as possible. Ideally, he should die near them to raise the chances of drawing good items.

Since Xiao Feng had two Free Lottery chances in total, he planned to first spend 261 Merit Points to buy the eight relatively cheap rewards, leaving the two most valuable rewards to claim for free.

Of the eight rewards Xiao Feng purchased, the most valuable was A Zhu's Disguise Technique Experience, priced at a full two hundred Merit Points. It took the form of a glowing golden orb.

"Use!"

At Xiao Feng's silent command, the orb immediately transformed into a streak of golden light and merged into his brow.
