Volume 2: Heavenly Sword Burial Chapter 74: Atoning for Sins with Death

  "Hey, where are you going? Or should I wait for you here?" Jiang Feng shouted softly in the direction Blood Knife had run off.

  After shouting, Jiang Feng also looked around with a sly expression. His divine sense had spread out, but Jiang Feng didn't discover anyone around him. If there was someone, there was no reason why Xue Dao could detect them and Jiang Feng couldn't.

  "Could it be that his cultivation is far superior to mine? But that's not right either, if his cultivation had reached the Golden Core stage, the Blood Knife wouldn't have been able to escape, nor would it have been possible for him to detect me ahead of time." Jiang Feng muttered to himself as he sat alone by the lake.

  When he was at a loss, Jiang Feng's divine sense felt someone approaching. He looked towards his north. That was exactly the direction where Xue Dao had come from earlier. After looking over, Jiang Feng saw a woman walking slowly towards him.

  This woman is over 1.7 meters tall, with black hair like a waterfall, slightly fluttering backwards as she moves. Her red dress is as bright as blood. On her delicate face, perfect features are dotted. She's a beauty, absolutely a great beauty.

  "She walked with her feet barely touching the ground, and with the aura on her body, this was a Golden Elixir cultivator. Could it be that Blood Knife wanted to hide from this beauty?" Jiang Feng thought to himself.

  The beautiful woman quickly walked up to Jiang Feng's side. Jiang Feng sat on the ground, while the woman stood, so Jiang Feng had no choice but to look up at her with his head tilted back.

  "Where is the Blood Knife?" The woman asked directly. Her voice was devoid of any emotion, as cold as an iceberg.

  "Sure enough, he's here for the Blood Knife. Blood Knife, how did you provoke him? Did you sneak a peek at him while he was bathing? The author wouldn't write such a ridiculous plot, would he?" Jiang Feng thought to himself.

  He pointed westward with his hand, just about to speak when Jiang Feng's hand pointing westward came back and scratched his head, a puzzled expression on his face. He also said at this time: "Blood Knife? Who is Blood Knife, I've never heard of it."

  "Haven't you heard? Just now, you almost sold the Blood Knife." Jiang Feng was despised by Lan Wu.

  "How is that possible? What kind of person am I, Jiang Feng, to betray a friend?" Jiang Feng said with an air of being very righteous, while his facial expression continued to pretend to be confused.

  That woman looked at Jiang Feng, her face expressionless. After a while, she made Jiang Feng feel uneasy, then she said: "Jiang Feng, don't pretend to be ignorant with me. Xue Dao was clearly heading here, I just don't believe he didn't come looking for you."

  Jiang Feng was taken aback, thinking to himself: "This woman knows a lot, it seems she's aware that Xue Dao recognizes me. What can I do now?"

  Lan Wu didn't bother Jiang Feng, completely leaving him to his own devices. Jiang Feng could only continue to pretend ignorance and say: "I really don't know what you're talking about. What's this about Blood Knife Huang Knife? I've really never seen it before."

  The woman's face finally had a hint of expression, an expression that was as if she wanted to swallow Jiang Feng alive. She also opened her mouth and roared at Jiang Feng: "Stop pretending, tell me, where is the Blood Knife hidden?"

  Jiang Feng shrank his neck, seemingly frightened. He muttered a few words in a low voice, then shook his head and refused to speak, with an expression that said "I won't say anything, you can't do anything about it".

  The woman looked down at Jiang Feng, and Jiang Feng looked up at the woman. The two people were stuck in this stalemate. Jiang Feng thought to himself, "This woman shouldn't get angry and make a move, right? If she really does, I'm not sure if I can win... It's better to find an opportunity to run away."

  After a while, the woman raised her head and said viciously: "You don't say it, I can also find him."

  After she finished speaking, the woman headed east. Watching as the woman quickly disappeared from view and soon vanished beyond his spiritual perception, Jiang Feng finally let out a sigh of relief. He also began to ponder, where exactly had Xue Dao offended someone?

  Thinking that Blood Knife wouldn't dare to come back for a while, Jiang Feng started his cultivation, planning to cultivate on one hand and wait for Blood Knife's return on the other. Originally thinking he would have to wait for several days, who would have thought that the woman had left for less than half an hour when Blood Knife ran back with a thieving expression.

  "You're really daring to come back, aren't you? Aren't you afraid that the people looking for you haven't left yet?" Jiang Feng said to Blood Knife.

  He wore a fearful expression on his face, but he said: "Being afraid is useless, the matter of the Bandit King's tomb can't be delayed. If we don't act quickly, it will be too late."

  "You really are greedy for money and don't care about your life. By the way, how did you offend that woman?" Jiang Feng said.

  Xue Dao's face was filled with a sense of helplessness, as he pulled out a sheepskin map from his storage bag and said to Jiang Feng: "It's hard to say. Take a look at this first, it's the general location of Zei Wang's tomb. Hurry to the place indicated on the map, we'll think of something when we get there."

  Jiang Feng took the map, but before he could even look at it, he felt Blood Blade almost jump up. When he looked at Blood Blade again, Blood Blade had already turned around and was about to run away. Unfortunately, just as he turned around, Blood Blade froze in place. Because the red-clothed woman who had left earlier was standing right in front of him.

  "Run, keep running! Why aren't you running? And you, haven't you seen him before? Don't you recognize him? What's going on here?" The woman in red said. There was no emotional tone in her voice. However, from the content, it can be seen that the woman is still somewhat happy.

  Xue Dao's expression stiffened as he turned his head, glanced at Jiang Feng once, and then quickly ran to stand behind him. After hiding behind Jiang Feng, he didn't say a word, nor did he dare come out. But everyone knew that hiding behind Jiang Feng was the same as not hiding at all.

  "Hey, who is this woman? How did you offend her family? She won't kill both of us, will she?" Jiang Feng slightly turned his head to say to the Blood Blade behind him.

  "It's hard to put into words, it's really hard to put into words." Xue Dao said. "Anyway, just help me get through this for now."

  "How can I deal with him, my cultivation is not as high as his, and I'm no match for him in a fight. I don't even know what he does, how am I supposed to deal with him?" Jiang Feng said.

  "Just find a way to stall her, as long as you can stall her, I'll be able to escape," said Blood Knife.

  Jiang Feng silently cursed Xue Dao for being ungrateful. At a time like this, he still wanted to sacrifice himself to let Jiang Feng escape. Jiang Feng thought to himself, why should I get involved in this matter? With that thought, Jiang Feng took two steps to the right, exposing Xue Dao who was hiding behind him. He also put on an expression of not being concerned with the matter.

  As soon as he saw Jiang Feng dodging, Xue Dao immediately let out a cry of surprise and ran to Jiang Feng's back again. Seeing Jiang Feng about to dodge once more, Xue Dao hastily grabbed onto Jiang Feng's clothes, not letting him dodge.

  "I won't let you go until you tell me who this woman is and how you offended her," Jiang Feng said.

  Xue Dao hesitated for half a day, and Jiang Feng was about to throw him away directly. Xue Dao then hastily said: "I'll say it, I'll say it... She's... a meat ticket."

  "Oh, I thought it was something else, but it's actually meat..." Jiang Feng was stunned for a moment. Then he turned his head to look at Xue Dao, saying: "Meat ticket? Did you kidnap her meat ticket or something?"

  Seeing Xue Dao nodding, Jiang Feng was shocked. Across from him was a Golden Core stage cultivator. Although he didn't know if it was early or mid-stage, the other person was indeed a Golden Core stage cultivator. You're just a Foundation Establishment initial stage cultivator, how dare you try to capture someone like that? Isn't this like a mouse being a matchmaker for a cat?

  Suddenly, Jiang Feng thought of something. He first looked at the woman and then looked at the Blood Knife behind him. He said to the Blood Knife: "She shouldn't be a hostage you took when you were a bandit, should she?"

  Xue Dao nodded, and Jiang Feng almost fell over. Now Jiang Feng understood - this was a debt that Xue Dao had owed for years. And now the creditor had come to collect.

  "This is none of my business. You two settle it yourselves." Jiang Feng said, taking a step back. Xue Dao still wanted to follow Jiang Feng, but Jiang Feng held him in place and said: "Brother, hold on. If you die, I'll dig a hole and bury you myself."

  Then Jiang Feng shook his head, walked to the side with a painful expression, sat on the ground, lit a cigarette and started smoking. While smoking, he looked at Blood Knife and the woman, wanting to see how they would eventually resolve it. But the result was beyond Jiang Feng's expectation.

  Xue Dao suddenly stepped forward two steps, his face solemnly saying to the woman: "It was I who tied you up back then, I owe you an apology. Today, I will use death to atone for my sin."

  After finishing speaking, I don't know where the blood knife came from with a dagger. Then, under the gaze of that woman who didn't even look at him, and Jiang Feng's astonished gaze, he cut his own throat.
