Utterly Absurd!

Ling Feng seemed to have effortlessly deflected that sword strike, but that wasn't actually the case!

The Shadow Severing is only Middle Tier sword technique. Ling Feng tried to minimize her energy expenditure. Her arm was getting increasingly sore, and for a moment, she almost dropped her weapon!

The group leaped up using their light-footed skills, their speed so great that they attacked in the blink of an eye.

Ling Feng blocked with a single horizontal sword strike, forcefully withstanding the sword beams of four people simultaneously descending upon him!

With a clear whistle, she slid backward for more than ten meters before barely managing to stop!

Ling Feng's expression was solemn. In her current state, she was no match for these people at all, and even the hand holding the knife was trembling uncontrollably!

She can barely hold her weapon! How is she supposed to fight?!

[Master, forcibly overdrawing your Star Source is extremely dangerous! Please stop immediately!]

"Damn it, if they stop, I'm going to die?!"

Ling Feng cursed inwardly, ignoring Xi He's words.

A calm, indifferent look swept across her pupils. Ling Feng composed himself, forcefully gripping the hilt of the knife, unwilling to let go even though he could barely hold it steady.

The knife is my weapon!

If you don't even have weapons, then you really have nothing!

Without hesitation, Ling Feng quickly drew his pistol, forcefully resisted the recoil, and unleashed a four-shot burst with one hand!

The movement was swift, but Bingtang Lingxin reacted very quickly, actually stepping forward and slicing all the bullets to pieces with a single sword strike!

It feels like he's gotten an even bigger cheat code!?

Miss Rock Candy, what grudge do you hold against me?

The moment Ling Feng fired his gun, Lan Chengfeng took the opportunity to somersault into the air, raise his longsword, and slash straight down!

This strike concentrated all his power, and coupled with the overwhelming momentum of his descending from the sky, the immense pressure felt as if the heavens and earth were collapsing.

Ling Feng knew he couldn't dodge in time and forcibly took another sword strike!

"Clang!"

At the moment of clash, a visible gust of wind burst forth from the center, causing leaves to fall from the surrounding trees and dust to rise everywhere!

Upon seeing this, Bingtang Lingxin couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly.

She could sense that Lan Chengfeng's sword strike was powerful enough to cut a car in two. To use such a vicious attack on a girl of similar age was indeed going too far.

However, compared to Bingtang Lingxin's worries, Mo Liyuan and Mo Qingyu were more concerned about the outcome, especially Mo Liyuan, who had a cold smile on her lips and appeared quite numb.

"If she doesn't die now, she'll definitely be seriously injured!"

"Cough..."

Mo Liyuan was right. Ling Feng was knocked back dozens of meters by that sword strike and crashed into an ancient tree!

Ling Feng's back wasn't broken, but the ancient tree actually split open, scattering a shower of fallen leaves!

The instant she collided with him, Ling Feng felt she almost coughed up blood; a trace of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth, but she forcefully suppressed it.

After being knocked away, the Tang sword flew off to an unknown location and cut into the ground.

Kneeling on one knee, Ling Feng supported herself with one hand while tightly clutching her chest with the other. She felt a stuffy heat in her chest, making it difficult to breathe and causing her great discomfort.

Even though her vision was extremely blurry, she still forced herself to stay conscious.

"We absolutely cannot... fall!"

After roaring in his heart, Ling Feng actually stood up again!

Seeing this scene, not only were Mo Liyuan and Mo Qingyu shocked, but even Lan Chengfeng himself was somewhat taken aback.

Only he himself knew the true power of that sword technique. Logically speaking, he was absolutely confident that that Heavy Sword would have made Ling Feng faint.

The Sky-Crossing Heavy Sword can slice through a seven- or eight-inch thick steel plate or a car in two. He doesn't usually use it easily. If he hadn't encountered a strong enemy this time, he originally planned to save it as a trump card for the Martial Arts Tournament.

But the facts were right in front of them: that petite girl, through sheer willpower, actually managed to stand up again.

Bingtang Lingxin's eyes were somewhat moved; she couldn't bear it and stepped forward.

"Little sister, why can't we sit down and talk things over? I promise they won't hurt you!"

"Miss Bing Tang, there's no point in reasoning with these thugs. Miss Mo and the others haven't said anything, so we should just help them," Lan Chengfeng said nonchalantly.

"You..."

Upon hearing this, Bingtang Lingxin was genuinely shocked. Her expression changed slightly, and she almost cried out, "You, you really have to be so cruel?"

"No, that's not it, Ling Xin, let me explain..."

Lan Chengfeng had never seen such an expression on Bingtang Lingxin's face before, and he immediately panicked.

This gentle and kind young lady treats everyone equally and would never completely go against anyone's conscience; she only wants others to be happy. And now she's looking at me like that?!

Lan Chengfeng sensed that he had seemingly lost something important!

"Hey! Miss Rock Candy said that as long as you're willing to sit down and talk things over, we won't resort to violence again!"

For a moment, Lan Chengfeng felt a pang of panic and lost his composure. He quickly turned around and called out to Ling Feng.

However, when he turned around and saw Bingtang Lingxin's worried face, he felt very sad.

Yes, he regretted it!

He knew that his image in Bingtang Lingxin's eyes had plummeted!

They might even feel disgusted!

But wasn't all of this caused by this complete stranger?!

Weekends are for watching anime in bed!!

Chapter Forty-Eight: Absurd and Unbelievable!

Sometimes people are like this; when faced with a problem, their first reaction is to blame others, pushing all the responsibility onto innocent people or other external things, instead of looking for the cause within themselves.

If one is burdened by tomorrow, spring will pass and autumn will come, and old age will arrive. In the morning, one will see the water flowing eastward, and in the evening, one will see the sun setting in the west.

No matter what kind of life you lead, don't unreasonably shift the blame to others. All your joys and sorrows are self-inflicted. Be more detached and less vain.

Lan Chengfeng belongs to another category at this moment!

Even just standing there, Ling Feng's delicate body seemed about to collapse.

As for sitting down and having a proper conversation?

Young lady, should I say you're too naive or too kind?

Ling Feng thought to herself, she really couldn't even speak right now.

When they first clashed, Ling Feng noticed that, apart from Bingtang Lingxin, the other three were almost ruthless.

Especially that Mo Liyuan, every move she made was aimed at a vital point, extremely brutal, clearly intending to kill!

Ling Feng could roughly guess that this woman surnamed Mo was probably Zhao Ping 'Zhao Ping fiancée, and that their engagement was illegitimate from the start.

Now that Zhao Ping has escaped, and with another person in the know now, Mo Liyuan has two choices: either kill him directly or tie him up and take him back to threaten Zhao Ping!

Ling Feng's thoughts were pretty much correct, but given Mo Liyuan's status and influence in Chongming City, she didn't really need to care what kind of trouble Ling Feng and his group could cause.

If there's one major event that's been on her mind lately, it's definitely the Martial Arts Tournament!

Mo Liyuan cannot afford to make any mistakes at this critical juncture. Although her father can easily handle these minor issues, her position in the family will definitely be affected.

She's a perfectionist and won't allow this to happen!

Ling Feng didn't speak. A gentle breeze brushed her hair, and her long, snow-white hair danced lightly in the air, like thousands of snowflakes, as smooth and silky as silk.

Beneath the mask, her bright, clear eyes held a hazy mist, and a faint hint of coldness flickered in their depths.

Clearly, Ling Feng had no intention of talking!

"Moonstar Blade..."

Thinking of his own unique weapon, Ling Feng silently recited it in his heart.

Suddenly, the space around her seemed to shatter, and in a daze, a dark Tang sword gleaming with a cold, silver-black light suddenly appeared in her hand!

The four were immediately taken aback when they saw this creation made out of thin air.

Is this even human? Weapons just magically appear out of thin air?!

Could it be magic?!

Despite wearing a mask, Ling Feng exuded a cold and aloof aura. Though dressed in a white dress, she resembled a spider lily blooming from hell, stained with a heavy, bloody scent—eerie yet captivating.

"Damn, this woman hasn't said a word since the beginning. Is she crazy?!"

After regaining her composure, Mo Qingyu was the first to react, and couldn't help but curse.

"Maybe he's mute?"

Noticing this issue, Lan Chengfeng echoed it with a comment.

Mo Liyuan remained expressionless and silent, her thoughts unreadable.

Bingtang Lingxin, however, remained worried. She was beginning to doubt whether her actions against Ling Feng were the right thing to do; what if there was more to the story?

After all...

Anything is possible...

Ling Feng gripped the knife, feeling herself calmer, her breathing more even, and even her mind clearing up!

But with her Star Source depleted, continuing the fight was clearly impossible.

Ling Feng knew very well that this was just a temporary illusion caused by carrying the weapon, a brief moment of lucidity before death.

Although this knife does look very cool and powerful, with extremely complex and gorgeous patterns, the overall silver-black blade exudes a domineering aura and a murderous intent.

But perhaps this is just an appearance? The abbot once said that one should not be deceived by the superficial appearance of things!

"Last chance..."

Ling Feng suddenly recalled a domain technique she had learned in the Star Illusion Dreamscape, which compressed the long-depleted Star Source. She didn't know what would happen to her, but she couldn't care less about that now.

Temporal Domain Space...

Ling Mengxue gripped the Tang sword tightly. As her cold gaze sharpened, time seemed to stand still within a radius of several dozen feet around her!

The maple leaves blown down by the evening breeze remained frozen in mid-air, and the birds hung in the sky, unnoticed by anyone! It seemed that even thoughts had been frozen in time!

All is silence!

At that moment, Bingtang Lingxin, Mo Liyuan, Lan Chengfeng, and Mo Qingyu all seemed to be fixed in their eyes, unable to look away.

Mo Liyuan, who possessed the highest martial arts skills, sensed something was wrong, but found herself completely unable to move, as if she had been frozen in place.

I wanted to move my feet, but I found that all my efforts were in vain!

Moreover, the more one struggles to escape, the more intense the physical pain becomes!

Everything around us, from the objects to the scenery, seemed to indicate that time had stopped!

Whether it's the grass and trees in the forest or the wild beasts roaming around, the dust and fallen leaves in the air all freeze in place, without wind or breath, falling into a deathly silence!

In sight, only a girl with snow-white hair was unrestrained. The wind gently blew by, lifting a strand of her hair. The pure white added a touch of mystery and allure to the surroundings.

She wore a pure white, knee-length pleated skirt, over which she wore a white gauze blouse, revealing her graceful neck and clearly visible collarbone. The pleats of the skirt flowed like the shimmering light of snow and moonlight, making her gait even more elegant and graceful.

With a gentle wave of her hand, though the mask concealed her stunning beauty, everyone could still seem to see the girl's faint smile, which dimmed the world for a moment.

Step by step, she walked with elegance, leisure, and composure!

"Inverse..."

"Time and space..."

"Sword Shadow..."

A clear and melodious voice fell, like cherry blossoms falling in full bloom, like fairies dancing, untouched by the hustle and bustle of the world.
