At this moment, the villagers were also awakened by the commotion and rushed out. Upon seeing the scene, they were immediately shocked. "Three heroes! What on earth is going on?"
"It's nothing! They were just some of those evil people's companions. We've taken care of them for you! Everything's fine now!"
"We are so grateful for your help, hero! Otherwise, our village would probably have been massacred again!"
"Hehe! It's alright! These people won't bother you anymore, don't worry!"
On the other side of the battlefield.
A strangely handsome young man, with a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth, dressed in a spotless white robe, exuding a bloody aura, slowly walked into a village. He calmly watched the slaughter by the evil elements, indifferent to what was happening before his eyes.
Upon seeing this, a wicked man sneered, "Where did this pretty boy come from! He's so foolish to come here to die! Utterly stupid!"
"Hehehe! This kid has a good physique and his blood energy is very powerful, although it is somewhat mixed. He is a top-notch training material!"
The strange-looking young man smiled slightly and said, "Hehe! Another batch of Inner Force has been acquired!"
The group of heretics were furious upon hearing this, shouting, "What Inner Force and true qi! They're courting death!"
After saying that, the group of evil people rushed over and each launched their attacks. Suddenly, a violent force of fists, feet and palms appeared in the sky and frantically attacked the figure. The power was extremely fierce!
Upon seeing this, the strange young man smiled slightly, his true energy erupted, and he calmly used his movement technique.
A series of afterimages appeared on the ground as the strange youth dodged the ferocious attacks one after another, managing to evade them all without missing a single one, displaying extremely agile movements!
The group of heretics were startled upon seeing this, realizing they had met their match this time, and said solemnly:
"Who are you? We keep to ourselves and don't interfere with our evil ways!"
"Hehe! You evil people deserve to be killed by everyone. As the senior disciple of the Free and Unfettered Sect, I will naturally set an example and cleanse the martial world of this scourge!"
"Hmph! Since that's how it is! Brothers, let's go!"
They hadn't walked more than a few steps when they suddenly felt weak all over, foamed at the mouth, and lay on the ground with their faces turning black. They had been poisoned!
A leader of an evil sect said with difficulty, "You... when did you poison me?!"
"Heh! Do I need to wait for the right moment to poison you? What a joke! You were already poisoned the moment you met me!"
"Wh... what?! You actually have such methods of poisoning?!"
"Hahaha! I didn't even have to exert a single bit of effort to deal with you. Come over here obediently and become my Inner Force fertilizer!"
The strange young man laughed loudly and suddenly used the Inner Force absorption method of the [Northern Darkness Divine Art]. Streams of true energy gathered around his body, and he struck out with both palms, unleashing a powerful and surging burst of true energy that directly absorbed them all.
He then channeled his powerful inner energy into their bodies, frantically absorbing their Inner Force.
Streams of colorful Inner Force surged wildly into his body, and he immediately felt his internal Inner Force gradually strengthen, with the total amount of true qi in his body increasing.
Half an hour later.
The group of evil cultivators had all their Inner Force drained, leaving them emaciated with sunken eyes, staring in terror at the eerie young man. "You... you are even more ruthless than us..."
No sooner had the words left his mouth than these people were poisoned to death by the potent venom, their lives ending instantly!
The strange young man looked completely satisfied and said calmly, "These trash are truly useless! They absorbed so much and only gained so little Inner Force, and it's extremely impure!"
"That makes sense! With my current Inner Force, if I want to improve, I need to absorb the strength of someone about my own to get the most benefit. But how could these powerful people willingly let me absorb their strength?"
At this moment, a villager crawled to the legs of the strange young man, tugged at his trouser leg, and said with difficulty, "Great... Great hero! Please, save us!!"
The strange young man looked disgusted at the sight and smashed the villager's head with a single blow. "Hmph! You unruly people, you dared to tear my clothes and get them dirty, it's unforgivable!"
Then the eerie young man sneered, "I was originally planning to spare your lives! But that filthy fellow dirtied my clothes and put me in a terrible mood, so you can just slowly die! Hahaha!"
Just then, Li Changfeng and his group arrived at the village. They immediately felt that it was unusually quiet, and they walked forward slowly with solemn expressions.
Suddenly, he heard a loud laugh ahead and hurried over to see what was going on. However, after walking for a while, Li Changfeng felt a little uncomfortable and immediately checked his internal organs.
Then Li Changfeng exclaimed in shock and anger, "Wait! This air is poisonous! Quickly hold your breath and clear the toxins from your body!"
After saying that, Li Changfeng suddenly struck out with his palm, and a violent palm wind was immediately blown away by the poison in the air. The poison in his body was also directly annihilated by him. Then he rushed towards the source of the laughter!
At this moment, the strange young man also noticed the commotion behind him and frowned. "Such domineering palm force! It seems we've encountered a formidable opponent!"
At this moment, Li Changfeng arrived beside the strange young man. Upon seeing the state of the ground, he immediately understood what had happened. These villagers had all been poisoned to death on the ground, their faces filled with terror and resentment, staring at the strange young man with their eyes wide open in death!
Li Changfeng's face was grim. "Who are you? Why did you poison these evil people instead of saving these civilians?"
The strange-looking young man smiled slightly upon hearing this, "And who are you? What does it matter to you whether I save these common people or not?"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng said coldly, "If I'm not mistaken, you must be from the Free and Unfettered Sect!"
"Hehe! You guessed right, I am indeed a member of the Free and Unfettered Sect."
"We were all ordered to eliminate these evil people, so why were you so ruthless as to kill even innocent people!"
"Heh! Why should you interfere with what my Free and Unfettered Sect does? You're right! I'm just following orders to kill these evil people, what do I care about the lives of these ordinary people!"
"You... you really deserve to die!"
"Heh! You bald monk, you wouldn't happen to be Li Changfeng, would you!"
Li Changfeng said coldly, "So what if it is! So what if it isn't!"
Upon hearing this, the strange-looking youth laughed and said, "Oh! That must be it! Please hand over the lost manual of our sect Life and Death Talisman!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng sneered, slowly took out the Life and Death Talisman manual, and suddenly unleashed his palm force in front of him, shattering the manual into a pile of debris that drifted away with the wind.
"What a pity! It's gone!"
Upon seeing this, the strange young man's face immediately darkened, and then he sneered, "It's better that you're gone! Then I'll take you back to the Free and Unfettered Sect and force you to write it down!"
"Heh! We'll have to see if you have the ability!"
Upon hearing this, the strange young man burst into laughter, "Hahaha! It's been a long time since I've encountered such a reckless fellow! Interesting! Interesting!"
"Remember this! The one who captured you is Li Wuyai, ranked seventh on the Human Rankings!"
