Chapter 12: Embodiment of the Divine Staff

  One move succeeded, and the Wen family was thrown into great disorder.

  Ye Feng chuckled lightly and, before the Wen family members could react, he had already hugged Wen Yi and jumped out of the Wen mansion's wall. After leaving the Wen mansion, to be on the safe side, he didn't stop for a moment, unfolding his Divine Movement Hundred Change Technique, and sped towards the outside of Shiliang Town.

  This was Ye Feng's overthinking, although Wen Yi had been taken away by him, the men in charge of the Wen family were all timid and afraid of death, as long as it wasn't a desperate situation. How could they possibly risk being killed to come and pursue just for the sake of a single woman?

  Although he was holding someone in his arms, Ye Feng's speed was extremely fast, and even the lightness of a top-notch martial artist might not be able to keep up.

  In less than a stick of incense time, Ye Feng had already left Shiliang Town far behind and stopped in front of a mountain cave.

  "Put her down, and I'll let you leave." A cold, arrogant voice suddenly came from behind.

  Ye Feng's mouth corners rose in a smile as he slowly turned around.

  Under the moonlight, a handsome young man in his early twenties suddenly appeared. This person's facial features were sharp and clear, with thin lips, making him a slender and beautiful man. No wonder these two people would fall deeply in love at first sight.

  Ye Feng lightly smiled and said: "Jin She Lang Jun Xia Xue Yi?"

  Ye Feng's expression was strange, and a hint of doubt flashed in Xia Xueyi's eyes, only to disappear immediately. She asked back with a haughty tone: "The Butcher Ye Feng?"

  They gazed at each other, neither of them speaking again, but both already knew who the other was. A strange emotion arose in their hearts, indescribable.

  Yes, pride, the biggest common point between the two is pride!

  Xia Xue coldly and proudly said: "Within ten li, I will definitely catch up with you!"

  Ye Feng coldly snorted: "That's because I'm carrying someone on my back. If it were just me alone, you definitely wouldn't be able to catch up to me!"

  "But I can kill you!"

  The needle tip was against the awn, and the two were unexpectedly unwilling to give in to each other.

  Apart from revenge, apart from meticulousness, apart from being true to one's emotions, the most dazzling aspect of Jin She Lang Jun Xia Xue Yi's character is his pride, extreme pride!

  At this point, Ye Feng couldn't help but laugh out loud and stopped arguing with him.

  There are eight hundred side doors and three thousand heterodox paths. My journey will never stop, this place is just a grain of sand in the vast ocean to me, why bother being attached to it for a moment?

  Xia Xue looked at Ye Feng with a puzzled expression, wanting to ask him something, but instead said: "Let go of Wen Yi. As for the Wen family members, no matter who you deal with, I won't intervene."

  "Good." He added another sentence, "Next!"

  As they spoke, Ye Feng had already thrown Wen Yi out, and Xia Xueyi's face flashed with a hint of hesitation. With a swing of her long sleeve, she caught Wen Yi. Her starry eyes were fixed intently on Ye Feng, guarding against any unexpected move, but unexpectedly, Ye Feng simply stood there, not making any move at all.

  Xia Xueyi's hand was wrapped around Wen Yi, while the other hand tightly gripped the golden snake awl. Her expression turned calm as she asked, "Who exactly are you? What do you want to do?"

  With Xia Xueyi's intelligence, just from Ye Feng's expression and strange behavior, it can be inferred that Ye Feng is not ordinary. At least, the fact that his fiancée was killed by Wen Nanyang must be false.

  Exposed, Ye Feng didn't get annoyed, but instead smiled.

  "A decade's grind for one sword, frosty blade never tried. Today I'll use it on you, who dares to be unjust."

  "I may not be able to eliminate all injustices in the world, but I will try to eradicate every injustice that comes my way. Otherwise... my conscience won't be clear."

  Xia Xueyi was stunned, confused and shocked, staring at Ye Feng. He couldn't believe that there were still such people in the world?!

  Ye Feng's eyes narrowed slightly as he faced Xia Xue, and with a slight bow, he said calmly: "You asked who I am, so let me formally introduce myself. Thanks to the friends on the road for giving me a nickname, Blood-handed Butcher Ye Feng, that's me... Actually, apart from this nickname, I have another one that suits me better."

  "Huh?"

  "Heaven and earth are all-knowing and all-seeing, unpredictable and crazy, cool and handsome, hanging in the air, the heavenly mechanism Ye Feng!"

  Xia Xue's mouth twitched.

  He coldly gazed at Ye Feng, narrowed his eyes and said: "No matter who you are, I only hope that nothing like tonight happens again. If you want to uphold justice, there are many people in the Wen family who should be killed, but it's absolutely not her turn. If it's revenge, there are also many people in the Wen family who should be killed, and it's absolutely not her turn either. Xia Mou bids farewell here!"

  Having said that, Xia Xueyi turned around and left.

  Next... goodbye? Our performance has just begun, and you're leaving already.

  No way, must use killer move!

  Ye Feng immediately said: "Xia Xueyi! You must have found the treasure left by Jianwen Emperor to plot his restoration!"

  Xia Xue's eyes flashed cold, and before anyone could react, the golden snake awl in her hand shot towards Ye Feng.

  "Awesome!"

  Ye Feng cursed and suddenly made a move with "Climbing Dragon and Phoenix" from his Divine Movement Hundred Changes, his body flashed and did not deliberately dodge, but instead followed the golden snake cone for several turns, the golden snake cone shot into a willow tree behind Ye Feng.

  Fortunately, he knew that the golden snake's head was coated with deadly poison and did not dare to touch it.

  Xia Xueyi let out a surprised "hmm", her eyes revealing a hint of astonishment, and said: "You're a disciple of the Iron Sword Sect? No way, the younger generation of the Iron Sword Sect doesn't have anyone with skills like yours. Not even that old Daoist who's known as 'Thousand Changes, Ten Thousand Calamities' has this level of skill... Who exactly are you?"

  Ye Feng shook his head and said, "Who I am is not important, what's important is what I'm going to say next. Cough... don't look at me with that sentimental gaze, let's put aside these minor details for now and talk about the main issue first."

  Xia Xue's eyes were filled with hostility, and she warned vigilantly: "You came to Shiliang Town, took away Ah Yi, just for the treasure left by Emperor Jianwen? Hmph... what a heavy heart!"

  I'm speechless, brother's mind is too strong, can't compare to you, if it wasn't for that performance at the guest house, you would have knocked me out with one punch, wouldn't even give me a chance to speak.

  Ye Feng cursed silently, not responding, and directly said: "I don't just know that you've found the treasure, I also know that the golden snake sword on your body, the twenty-four golden snake awls in your bosom, this set of excellent martial arts, and that treasure map, were all obtained from the forbidden land of the Five Poisons Sect. The woman who helped you is named He Hongyao. And I also know that she broke the sect's rules for you, willing to endure the bites of ten thousand snakes, begging for a living, and heard that you appeared in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and are rushing over here."

  Xia Xue's face was initially only surprised and hesitant, but as Ye Feng spoke, her eyes sparkled with increasing shock.

  Ye Feng spread out his hands and said with a pleased expression: "Now you believe what I said, right?"

  Xia Xue snorted coldly: "What is your relationship with the Five Poisons Sect? I see, you know all about these things. You are a member of the Five Poisons Sect and your status must be extremely high."

  I'm going to fall!

  Ye Feng was speechless, familiar with the plot, yet he couldn't even deceive an NPC, what a failure! He was so angry that he wanted to smash his head into a tofu and die.

  Xia Xue coldly and proudly said: "No matter who you are, I'll say it again. As long as you dare to harbor evil intentions towards Ah Yi, I will definitely kill you!"

  Alright alright, I admit defeat.

  Ye Feng said weakly: "Since you don't believe in the past, can't you not believe in the future? Kind reminder, within three days, you will face the greatest tribulation of your life! One misstep and your tendons will be severed, you'll suffer torture, lonely and helpless, ultimately dying at the precipice of Mount Hua!"

  "What did you say?! If you continue to spout nonsense, I'll make sure you wish you were dead!"

  Yefeng opened his mouth, just about to speak, when suddenly an idea struck him, and he waved his hand with a chuckle: "Just kidding, don't take it seriously... Life is so long, but you're so anxious, that's not good..."

  Xia Xue gave Ye Feng a fierce glare, then hugged Wen Yi and left immediately.

  Looking at Xia Xueyi's departing back, Ye Feng felt a sense of relief in his heart.

  The long and winding road of life, with its hardships and setbacks, also has its own special significance.

  If it weren't for this tribulation, Xia Xueyi might not have come to realize that "Even if we were to gather all the treasures in the world at this moment, how could we use them to exchange for a reunion, even just for half a day? To value wealth and material possessions over separation is the height of foolishness; I am filled with regret and longing."

  Many things are lost before regret sets in, before they are cherished, and the pain pierces the heart, ultimately leading to a sudden awakening.

  Well, in that case, let's just go with the flow then.
