Chapter 75: Illusory Puppetry

  The dagger sliced across his neck, cutting a huge wound. Fresh blood gushed out in a frenzy, and the head of the bloody knife fell back. His body also fell straight back, amidst the massive splashing of fresh blood.

  The woman standing in front of Blood Knife, when the blood spurted out from Blood Knife's neck, a spiritual power wall suddenly appeared in front of her, blocking the blood that was spraying towards her. At this moment, the woman still didn't look directly at Blood Knife, as if he wasn't even a person who had just died in front of her.

  The blood knife fell to the ground and twitched a few times before it stopped moving. The blood flowing from its neck stained a large patch of grass beneath it red. Jiang Feng saw this scene and was stunned, his whole body numb.

  After several seconds, Jiang Feng finally rubbed his eyes and found that the one lying on the ground was indeed Blood Knife, and at the neck, there really was a big wound. With a sweep of his divine sense, Blood Knife no longer had any signs of life, it seemed he was really dead.

  "Not like that, you're going to die just like this? Are you stupid?" Jiang Feng hurriedly ran over, but at this time, no matter what he did, he couldn't save Blood Blade.

  His gaze shifted from the pale face of Blood Blade and his wide eyes to the woman standing in front with a cold expression. If Jiang Feng could defeat that woman, he would have rushed over to avenge Blood Blade.

  "Is a man dead and are you satisfied? Are you happy now?" Jiang Feng shouted at the woman.

  That woman didn't pay attention to Jiang Feng either, she just stood there quietly. Neither looking at Jiang Feng nor the body of Blood Knife. As if everything here had nothing to do with her.

  What can Jiang Feng do now? He can't do anything except bury the Blood Knife. Take revenge for the Blood Knife? Don't be ridiculous, that's a Golden Dan period cultivator, Jiang Feng can't beat him. Moreover, it was the Blood Knife who kidnapped people first and also ended his own life with his own hands to atone for his sins by death.

  "Everyone is dead, what are you still doing here? Don't go, are you waiting for a flogging corpse?" Jiang Feng said as he started digging the pit.

  The woman's face finally showed a hint of expression, a slight smile, as if Jiang Feng's words had amused her. Seeing this, Jiang Feng felt a surge of anger. At this moment, he didn't care about digging a hole or being inferior to others in terms of cultivation.

  Three steps two steps, he rushed to the woman's front, Jiang Feng pointed at the woman's nose and said: "What are you laughing at? Are you happy that someone died? Have you avenged your great hatred? Relying on your high cultivation, forcing a foundation-building cultivator to death, do you feel proud?"

  The woman in red looked at Jiang Feng, a smile on her face again. Seeing her smile, Jiang Feng's anger grew even greater. Several times he wanted to get up and beat the woman, but each time he didn't dare to really take action.

  After a cold snort, Jiang Feng turned around and continued digging the hole. As he dug, he said: "When you were kidnapped, none of you were cultivators, but now all of you are. What's there that can't be resolved properly? And you're already in the Golden Dan stage, can't you just let him go and give him a way out? Do you have to drive him to death, is that fun?"

  "Who said I wouldn't give him a way out? And who said I would drive him to death?" The woman in red suddenly spoke up.

  Jiang Feng, who was digging a hole, stopped and pointed at the corpse of Xue Dao by the side of the hole, saying: "You still dare to say it wasn't you who drove him to death? If you hadn't chased after him, could he have possibly given himself a knife?"

  "Who says Blood Knife is dead? Is he so easily killed?" the woman said.

  "My head is almost gone, and you're saying he's not dead? Alright, if he's not dead, then you bring him back to life." Jiang Feng said.

  The woman's expression on her face was extremely calm, as if she were standing there in a daze. She spoke slowly and steadily: "I've seen this kind of death hundreds of times before. Only someone as stubborn as you would believe it. But it's good that the Blood Knife can be handed over to a friend like you."

  As soon as the words came out, Jiang Feng, who was digging a hole, was stunned. At this time, he didn't have the mind to dig a hole anymore. From what the woman meant, the way Blood Knife died now had happened many times before. It's likely that with so many times, the woman had become numb to it.

  "Isn't he dead yet? Can he still come back to life after all this?" Jiang Feng said, pointing at the corpse of Blood Knife. If it could be called a corpse, that is.

  The woman didn't say anything this time, and Jiang Feng didn't know if she was deceiving him either. He also carefully examined the corpse of Blood Knife, but there was nothing unusual about it - that was indeed Blood Knife.

  After a while, Jiang Feng suddenly discovered that something was wrong with Blood Blade's body. When his divine sense swept past, what he saw wasn't flesh but wood. A few seconds later, Jiang Feng let out a loud cry, his face filled with shock, because Blood Blade's corpse had transformed into a wooden puppet.

  "What a formidable illusion puppet, it's actually identical to the real one." Lan Wu's voice echoed in Jiang Feng's mind.

  Jiang Feng's mouth was twisted in anger, he jumped out of the half-dug pit and came to the wooden man's side, kicking the wooden man flying with one foot. At the same time, he also shouted: "Xue Dao, hurry up and go die! Even if you're dead, I'll leave your corpse exposed in the wilderness, no one will come to collect it."

  He kicked the wooden man away, and Jiang Feng finally felt a bit better. He found a place to sit down and sulked alone for a while. After a while, he discovered that the woman in red had also sat down somewhere. It seemed she wasn't planning on leaving.

  "Hey, what are you still doing here? That Blood Knife bastard won't be back. Go look somewhere else." Jiang Feng said.

  "He won't be back, but didn't he give you a map to find the tomb of the Bandit King? Follow it and you'll be able to find the Blood Knife," said the woman in red.

  "You want to follow me to find the tomb of the bandit king?" Jiang Feng shouted, he was absolutely unexpected that this woman had set her sights on him.

  Just as he was about to be surprised, Jiang Feng suddenly felt that something was wrong there. After thinking for a moment, he said: "You also know about the tomb of the King of Thieves?"

  "The Blood Knife knows, why don't I?" said the woman in red.

  At this time, Jiang Feng suddenly felt that the relationship between the red-clothed woman and Blood Knife was probably not ordinary. Think about it, Zei Wang's tomb is likely to find countless treasures. But this woman didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, which was a bit too abnormal.

  "Also, you haven't asked for advice yet, why are you looking for Blood Knife?" Jiang Feng asked. "Is it just because of what happened when he kidnapped you?"

  Hongyi shook her head and said: "The thing about being kidnapped has been over for a long time. Finding him wouldn't be because of that."

  "So why are you looking for him? And with such a determined look on your face." Jiang Feng asked again. At the same time, Jiang Feng was also muttering to himself: "It can't be that Blood Knife's kid kidnapped someone back then and then slept with them after finding them good-looking, right? If it really is like that, I'll catch you even if I have to chase you to the ends of the earth."

  "I am the wife of Blood Knife, a wife looking for her husband, what other reason is needed?" The woman in red said.

  "Oh, so it's sister-in-law. No wonder she's so beautiful..." Jiang Feng said, suddenly stopping mid-sentence. Then he stared with a pair of eyes, looking at the red-clothed woman with an expression that seemed to dare not believe. After that, a shrill cry was heard, and Jiang Feng jumped up from the ground.

  "You... you are the wife of Blood Knife? This... is this true?" Jiang Feng asked disbelievingly.

  The woman in red nodded, but Jiang Feng still couldn't quite believe it. He asked, "Then why did he hide from you and put on a show of apologizing with his death?"

  "How am I supposed to know which screw is loose in his head? You'll see him soon, go ask him yourself." The woman in red said with a 'I don't know either' expression.

  Jiang Feng's butt landed on the ground. Now he was thoroughly speechless, and could basically guess the story of the bandit and the rich family's young lady from back then. It was just that between the two of them, one in the foundation-building stage and the other in the golden elixir stage, wasn't the gap a bit too big?
