763 Feng Wu In a Fury
Helping Chaoge to her feet, Feng Wu was infuriated when she saw Chaoge’s unsteady gait.
Without hesitation, she stuffed a pill into Chaoge’s mouth.
“Xiao Wu —”
“Stop talking. Swallow the pill, activate your spiritual essence, and work on healing your injuries.” Feng Wu then helped Chaoge sit down.
After taking care of Chaoge, Feng Wu turned around to face the other three.
The look she gave Mu Yaoyao was as sharp as a cold blade!
“Wh- what do you want?!” Staring at Feng Wu, Mu Yaoyao couldn’t help but stumble back at Feng Wu’s piercing gaze.
Stumble back?
When she realized her reaction, Mu Yaoyao gritted her teeth and stepped forward!
“You, you…” Mu Yaoyao stared at Feng Wu.
Feng Wu walked toward Mu Yaoyao one step at a time, her gaze fixed on the latter the whole time.
“Wh- what do you want?” Mu Yaoyao glared at Feng Wu. “Don’t for a minute think you can scare me!”
Feng Wu smirked, her gaze as sharp as a blade!
Yao Hao blocked her way.
“Feng Wu, stop right there!”
Feng Wu glanced at him.
“Who the hell do you think you are?! How dare you threaten the princess?! I can kill you with a snap of my fingers!”
Yao Hao considered himself a capable cultivator — he was a Level 2 Spiritual Grandmaster already.
However, Feng Wu only raised a hand.
Instead of striking out herself —
Whoosh!
Little Phoenix materialized in the air and charged at Yao Hao!
After absorbing the energy of the abnormal flame bead, Little Phoenix could finally come out of the ring!
It used to be the size of a palm, but now, its body expanded and it spread out its wings like a giant eagle!
“Pew —”
The bird opened its beak, puffing out orange-red flame!
Instantly, there was fire everywhere!
“Ah!”
A fireball flew right at Yao Hao’s chest!
Whoosh —
Caught off guard, Yao Hao was caught in the fire!
“Ah!” He screamed in pain.
The fire burnt through his clothes in no time and ate at his flesh!
The pain brought tears to Yao Hao’s eyes. He was quick to react. Jumping back, he began to roll around in the snow.
They were in the middle of a snowfield and the ground was covered in snow. He thought that rolling around would put out the fire immediately, but he was wrong.
Little Phoenix’s fire was the abnormal flame which it had obtained from Jun Linyuan.
An abnormal flame wasn’t something one could extinguish with water!
“Ah! Ahhhh —”
Yao Hao kept rolling and patting at his chest, but the fire only grew bigger and began to spread out.
Wen Ling was baffled by what she saw!
That bird was incredible!
How frightening!
Where had Feng Wu found such a pet?!
Wen Ling knew that Mu Yaoyao hadn’t even reached Yao Hao’s cultivation level. Yao Hao’s dilemma meant that Mu Yaoyao wouldn’t be able to protect her.
Recalling what she had done to Chaoge, Wen Ling felt a chill run down her spine.
She turned around and ran!
She couldn’t fight, but she could flee!
But —
As soon as she turned around, Feng Wu’s cold voice rang out behind her. Staring at Wen Ling’s back, Feng Wu grinned. “Wen Ling, where do you think you’re going?”
With Feng Wu’s great memory, of course she remembered Huo Yin and Wen Ling. She only pretended not to recognize Huo Yin to embarrass the latter.
Feng Wu’s voice made Wen Ling jump!
Without hesitation, she bolted!
However —
764 Feng Wu Demonstrates Her Power
However, Feng Wu only snorted and darted a glance at Little Phoenix.
Little Phoenix and Feng Wu could read each other’s minds.
All it took was a look from Feng Wu.
Whoosh!
Little Phoenix flew as swift as an arrow at Wen Ling!
Whoosh —
Orange-red flames spurted out of its beak and headed straight for Wen Ling’s back!
“Ahhh —”
Wen Ling was devoured by flames from behind!
The flames looked like devilish faces and made wicked giggling sounds.
“Ahh —”
Not only Wen Ling’s back, but her hair was on fire as well.
“Help! Help! Princess Mu, help!!!”
Tears rolled down Wen Ling’s face, but she couldn’t make a sound because of the searing pain.
At that moment, she could smell death, and she was scared.
Copying Yao Hao, she rolled around in the snow. She cried and she pleaded… but nothing worked!
The fire seemed to have a life of its own, and wouldn’t die no matter what.
And it bore deeper into her skin.
Wen Ling regretted everything she had done.
Why did she have to do that to Chaoge… Why?
However, it was already spilled milk.
Looking at Mu Yaoyao, Feng Wu smirked. “Now that those two are out of the way, Princess Mu, it’s finally your turn.”
Mu Yaoyao had seen how miserable Yao Hao was after he caught on fire, and how Wen Ling’s life was hanging by a thread… and that was enough to make her ditch her pride. She wasn’t even as good as Yao Hao.
“F- Feng Wu! I’m warning you!” Mu Yaoyao stumbled back as she made empty threats. “I’m a princess! I’m a princess from a noble family!”
Feng Wu smiled a little. “A princess? Is that a big deal?”
If everything went as planned, she would be a princess herself very soon.
“You won’t kill me!”
“Why not?”
“Do that and you’re dead! Your family will all be dead!”
“Really? I’m so scared.”
“Feng Wu, stop! Stop right there! Stay away from me!”
Feng Wu scoffed at those words. “You should have thought about the consequences when you hurt Chaoge.”
A whip appeared in Feng Wu’s hand.
Thump!
She lashed it at Mu Yaoyao!
And she spared no effort!
The strike sent Mu Yaoyao flying!
“Ah —” Mu Yaoyao screamed in fear.
However, under Little Phoenix’s threatening stare, there was nothing she could do!
Mu Yaoyao smashed into the ground, the impact creating a huge crater beneath her!
She glared at Feng Wu!
She had no idea where Feng Wu found such an incredible bird, but she knew that there was no way she could fight it.
Run!
Mu Yaoyao made a “flee” sign with her fingers, and with a whoosh, she disappeared on the spot!
The woman fled!
Feng Wu frowned and was baffled!
Mu Yaoyao had torn something before she fled! What was that?
By now, Yao Hao and Wen Ling were barely breathing. With a wave of Feng Wu’s hand, white light flashed and the fire was gone.
“Sob —”
Wen Ling cried in pain. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she gasped.
For a moment back there, she really thought she was going to die!
Yao Hao lay on his back and his head was swimming. Every breath was torture.
“What did Mu Yaoyao use?” Feng Wu gritted her teeth.
Mu Yaoyao was the main culprit.
765 A Breakthrough?
Feng Wu was only able to lash Mu Yaoyao with the whip once before the latter bolted. That woman hadn’t suffered enough!
She knew that Yao Hao was Mu Yaoyao’s closest minion and she directed her question at Yao Hao.
Yao Hao was going to resist, but as soon as Little Phoenix opened its mouth, he felt like crying, even before any flames came out. “Alright! Alright! I’ll tell you!”
Feng Wu sneered at him.
“It’s a ‘teleport scroll.'” Yao Hao took a deep breath. “There’s an amazing cultivator in the Mu family who specializes in teleportation. He made the scroll for Princess Mu so that she could teleport herself away in critical moments.”
“How many does Mu Yaoyao have?”
“How many?” Yao Hao smiled bitterly. “Miss Feng, a teleport scroll is as valuable as a human life. It’s unbelievably expensive on the market, if you can get your hands on it at all. Once it’s out on the market, the price will be outrageously high!
“The scroll Princess Mu had was a last-resort thing. Lord Mu went to that cultivator himself to get that scroll. It’s the only one.”
Feng Wu smirked.
If Mu Yaoyao only had one such scroll, she wouldn’t be able to get away next time!
Just then, there were rumbling sounds overhead!
The noise converged and eventually gathered over Chaoge’s head!
All eyes were on Chaoge right away.
And even Feng Wu looked surprised.
Yao Hao’s eyes opened so wide that his eyeballs threatened to fall out.
“Duan Chaoge, she… she’s…”
Feng Wu kept her gaze on Chaoge and saw that the latter was sucking in spiritual essence from around her like a crazy maelstrom.
But there wasn’t enough!
Feng Wu raised an eyebrow.
With a wave of her hand, people flew in Chaoge’s direction.
Wen Ling, Yao Hao, Yao Ying, Liu Hao, and Mu Qing.
Their own spiritual essence couldn’t be sucked out, but each of them had at least two stars on their headbands.
No one knew how Feng Wu did it, but —
The next moment, all the stars on Wen Ling’s headband dimmed.
She had lost her two stars.
The same thing then happened to Yao Hao, Yao Ying, Liu Hao, and Mu Qing…
All their stars dimmed.
The spiritual essence they had gathered from hunting and robbing their fellow candidates was absorbed by Chaoge.
“No —”
Realizing what Feng Wu was doing, Yao Hao and the others tried to resist, but —
There was nothing they could do.
Who would have thought that Feng Wu would have such a terrifying Little Phoenix with her?
That bird spat fire at everyone!
And it wasn’t normal fire! Nothing could put it out!
It had to be the rare abnormal flame!
“Phew —”
Chaoge exhaled, then opened her eyes.
After all the spiritual essence she had absorbed, her eyes were as clear and bright as the ocean.
“Xiao Wu, did I make a breakthrough?” Chaoge looked at her own hands in disbelief.
Only a moment ago, she thought she was going to die, but things turned around so quickly, and the next thing she knew, she was leveling up.
Feng Wu smiled. “What level are you now?”
“I’m a Level 2 Spiritual Grandmaster!” Chaoge grinned.
Chaoge had been making progress at an unbelievable speed these days.
She had been a mere Level 5 Spiritual Master before Feng Wu came back, but she was already a Level 2 Spiritual Grandmaster now. At this rate —
766 Frost Essence
Feng Wu was genuinely happy for Chaoge when she found out that the girl was already at Level 2.
She had been with Chaoge the whole time as the latter progressed from a Level 5 Spiritual Master to a Level 2 Spiritual Grandmaster. Feng Wu believed that the girl would only get more powerful in the future.
Thanks to her breakthrough, spiritual essence circulated throughout Chaoge’s body. When she examined herself again, she saw that all her internal injuries had been healed, as well as the cuts on her skin.
As for Yao Hao and the others…
Chaoge kicked the guy around before turning to Wen Ling.
“Don’t kill me! Please don’t! I’m sorry. I’m so sorry…” Wen Ling dropped to her knees and pleaded.
Chaoge smirked. “I’m not going to kill you, but you’ll wish I did!”
After that —
Chaoge raised her dagger!
“Ahhh —”
Wen Ling watched as the blade cut into her cheek!
It was so deep that it exposed the bone!
Chaoge left a bloody, deep gash on Wen Ling’s face!
“Ahhh —”
Wen Ling screamed before collapsing on the ground.
She was so frightened that she passed out.
The others, especially Yao Ying, who was also a girl, covered their faces in fear!
Chaoge had ruined Wen Ling’s face!
The cut was so deep that Yao Ying could hear the blade scratch the bone!
No one would be able to fix her face!
Yao Ying turned to run.
But Chaoge would never let her flee.
As a Level 2 Spiritual Grandmaster, Chaoge was the most advanced cultivator here, second only to Feng Wu.
With a wave of her hand, Chaoge picked Yao Ying up like an eagle snatching a chicken.
Whoosh —
She repeated what she had done to Wen Ling!
Yao Hao and the others glared at Chaoge, but were too scared to say anything.
Chaoge smirked. “I know that a scar on the face means little to guys, but this one will be the shame of your life!”
Whoosh!
She made another cut!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Chaoge cut each person on the cheek, making a deep gash. It would stick with them and remind them of the shame!
It was a scar they would carry for life!
After taking care of Wen Ling and the others, Feng Wu and Chaoge went on their way.
“Xiao Wu —” Chaoge took hold of Feng Wu’s hand and said in a pitiful voice, “Xiao Wu, thank god you got there in time. I could have been killed.”
Feng Wu patted her on the head, then said in a grumpy tone, “No, you wouldn’t have. Even if they were going to kill you, they would make sure to do it in front of me.”
They wanted to enrage her to make her act impulsively. That way, they would have an excuse to kill her.
Mu Yaoyao’s target had always been Feng Wu, and Feng Wu alone.
“Xiao Wu, where are we going now?” Chaoge asked.
She would stop thinking whenever Feng Wu was around. All she needed to do was follow Feng Wu.
“First of all, we’ll find Mu Yaoyao to get our revenge. Then, we’ll get enough spiritual essence to light up all seven stars. But most importantly, we need to find Frost Essence.”
“Frost Essence?” Chaoge looked bewildered. What was that?
“I haven’t told you?” Feng Wu smacked her own head.
“No. This is the first time I’ve heard of it.”
Feng Wu said, “Grand Secretary Fang is building a formation for cultivation next door, and the formation has to have a core, which is what the Frost Essence is for.”
