Chapter 332: Untreatable

"You!"

Ma Feng gritted his teeth.

He was so incensed by Song Jiulai’s words that he felt like he could spit blood.

He wanted to fight back, but it was also true that he now wanted to retreat.

With a cold expression, he could only try to save face. "You ignorant fool. Do you have any idea which part of the Tianyang Sect I’m from?"

"Do I need to know?" Song Jiulai scoffed. "If you won’t say, I won’t waste my time asking for a dead man’s details."

A dead man?!

Ma Feng’s pupils constricted. This Song Jiulai really wanted to kill him.

’But why?’

All he did was injure a female cultivator.

It finally dawned on Ma Feng. "What’s your relationship with that female cultivator? Is she worth you making such a big deal out of this with me!"

"You can only blame yourself for being a bastard!"

Song Jiulai didn’t reply, simply pressing her attack.

She could tell that although this Ma Feng was in the Golden Core Stage, he was just an ordinary one.

Even if he was from the Tianyang Sect, he didn’t possess any particularly outstanding Cultivation Techniques or Magic Treasures.

’He’s either a Loose Cultivator or from some small sect.’

’No wonder he only dares to throw his weight around in a poor place like this!’

Seeing this, Ma Feng gritted his teeth, his anger flaring. He sneered, "You want my life? Fellow Cultivator, you should first see if you’re even worthy!"

Han Daozi, who had been drinking in the tavern, suddenly remarked, "Don’t you find the Cultivation Techniques of this Longevity Sect to be truly bizarre?"

Zhai Xiaotian remained silent.

Of course, he knew something was off about those techniques.

It was just that the Cultivators coming and going in Wang’an County were largely inexperienced and couldn’t see the full extent of the problem.

As for himself, he only felt that the techniques were unusually powerful.

The Longevity Sect not only had five of them, but most disciples also possessed them.

The small fraction who didn’t have them simply couldn’t afford them yet.

It sounded like any disciple of the Longevity Sect could obtain such a Cultivation Technique.

But in the end, there were already many strange things about the Longevity Sect. At this point, Zhai Xiaotian didn’t feel like probing into this one particular issue.

Han Daozi chuckled, but before the smile could fade, he let out a surprised "Huh?" "What kind of move is that?"

Back with Song Jiulai, Ma Feng had just taken a heavy blow.

His previous attacks had all landed on Song Jiulai. After she blocked most of the damage, the Little Golden Dragon looked like it had eaten its fill.

While Song Jiulai was still chasing and attacking Ma Feng, a Hand Seal identical to Ma Feng’s suddenly appeared.

Because it was completely unexpected, and he was already being hounded by Song Jiulai, he failed to dodge the palm strike. When the Hand Seal appeared before his eyes, he was dumbfounded.

’Isn’t that my Cultivation Technique?!’

Stunned, he had already summoned a Defensive Magical Treasure to block.

But he also had to defend against Song Jiulai’s Moonlight Sword Technique. His reaction was a split-second too slow, and he was struck squarely by the Hand Seal.

CRACK—

The sound of the Defensive Magical Treasure cracking rang out, but it hadn’t completely shattered.

His eyes flew open. "How do you know my move!"

Song Jiulai raised an eyebrow. "Your Defensive Magical Treasure is pretty decent."

It was formed from a copper mirror. Although it was now cracked, it hadn’t completely shattered after taking that hit.

Ma Feng’s expression turned grave.

He realized if he didn’t run now, he wouldn’t get another chance.

’This female cultivator’s cultivation doesn’t seem stronger than mine, yet her Cultivation Technique is so bizarre.’

’She can even copy my own moves.’

’And the power of the copied move—’

Looking at the cracks on the copper mirror, his face grew even uglier.

This was his only Defensive Magical Treasure. Though it was just an ordinary Earth Grade item, he had stolen it from someone else.

He had been in many battles but had never suffered such a significant loss.

Song Jiulai was fighting with a reckless, life-or-death approach, casually popping Fourth-rank Qi Replenishing Pills and Blood Replenishing Pills.

Even though Ma Feng himself was at the Golden Core Stage, he couldn’t afford to consume Fourth-rank Elixirs so casually.

If he were to fight Song Jiulai to the death, it wouldn’t be a problem to drag it out for half a day.

But why should he waste his time and energy here for a pointless battle?

He might even have to risk most of his fortune!

With a shift in his thoughts, he swallowed a Qi Replenishing Pill, took out his Flying Magical Treasure, and prepared to flee.

Song Jiulai saw he was about to run. ’That won’t do.’

After all, she was only at the Late-stage Foundation Establishment. She could barely keep up by activating Zhai Xiaotian’s Magic Treasure, but if Ma Feng was truly set on escaping...

’...I might not actually be able to catch a Golden Core Early Stage cultivator.’

She immediately yelled, "Fellow Cultivator, running away when you can’t win? Does your mommy and daddy know you’re such a coward?"

Ma Feng: "..."

’Bullshit!’

’Running when you can’t win is just common sense!’

’No, it’s not that I can’t win. I’m just being pragmatic!’

Since Ma Feng had decided to flee, he ignored her taunts. His Flying Magical Treasure was a strange length of red silk, which danced in the air.

Ma Feng stepped onto the red silk and, in the blink of an eye, flew several hundred meters away.

Song Jiulai immediately gave chase, realizing that the red silk Flying Magical Treasure was no ordinary item.

’A Golden Core Early Stage running this fast.’

Song Jiulai complained to the system, "Why is he running? I’m only Late-stage Foundation Establishment. It’s not like he’d definitely lose. Why not stay and fight it out?"

The system replied dryly, "Do you hear the nonsense you’re spouting?"

Song Jiulai narrowed her eyes. "I absolutely cannot let him get away!"

’The trip back from Dragon Frost Swamp cost nearly 800, and going back will be another 800.’

’The Sect’s total current energy would be cut in half.’

’With such a huge loss, we might not even be able to escape the next time we run into real trouble.’

’How can I not get it back from this Cultivator?’

Ma Feng wasn’t fleeing toward Wang’an County, but toward Demon Cave Valley.

He obviously knew that Demon Cave Valley was teeming with demon beasts. There were even High-level Demon Beasts there, and he could use the ensuing chaos to make an easy escape.

Song Jiulai pursued Ma Feng.

Meanwhile, Gu Yunxi had brought Su Huanli back to the Sect, flying directly to Feique Mountain to find Chen Miaomiao.

"Boss, Boss Chen, help!"

Gu Yunxi yelled urgently, "I’ve brought Senior Sister Su back!"

Su Huanli was clearly not just ordinarily injured.

On the way back, Gu Yunxi had immediately given her a Fourth-rank Qi Replenishing Pill and a Blood Replenishing Pill.

But it didn’t seem to have much effect; Su Huanli had now passed out.

Chen Miaomiao had already received Gu Yunxi’s message.

She had already emerged from her small base. Seeing Gu Yunxi land with Su Huanli, she immediately reached out to take her.

Upon seeing Su Huanli’s pale face, Chen Miaomiao, who had now completely dedicated herself to Alchemy and had even obtained many medical texts about the Cultivation World from the Taohua Sect, immediately knew what was wrong.

Her expression immediately grew grave. "Her Dantian is half-shattered, and her heart meridian has been severed. I can’t save her."

Moreover, even if she could be saved, with these injuries, she would never be able to practice Cultivation again.

Gu Yunxi looked lost. Seeing Su Li in this state, she couldn’t bear it. "Is there really no way?"

Chen Miaomiao shook her head. "There are many Elixir Recipes I don’t have access to. Right now, I don’t know how to resolve her condition."

Then, a thought occurred to her and she added, "The only thing I can do is ask the players from the Taohua Sect to inquire with the relevant sect members if there’s any hope for this situation."
