"Speaking of cowardice, who was it just now that was about to kneel down?" Lin Feng glanced at him, "You have no right to say that. Besides, Li Bing is the leader of this operation, and she has given her orders. If you want to stay here, then stay."
Lin Feng finished speaking and couldn’t be bothered with him anymore. A cautious man will steer a ship for ten thousand years; one must know when to be a coward, and not recklessly charge onto Yama Hall pretending to be a hero.
"You... Li Bing, they’re just some desperadoes, why should we fear them? This is six hundred Merits we’re talking about, such a good mission doesn’t come by often." Li Yibo immediately began to persuade Li Bing.
Li Bing was also very hesitant, but when she thought of how abruptly more than a dozen Great Martial Masters appeared earlier, she was still somewhat shaken to her core.
"I am absolutely determined, we still should..."
Just then, an extremely muffled sound came from nowhere, and at the same time, a beam of blood-red light descended from the sky. Everyone looked up, only to see the blood moon was completely red, hanging right above them, making everyone anxious.
Lin Feng was no exception.
There is definitely something wrong with this place.
"Hey, look quickly, there seems to be something coming out of the ground, could it be that just now it made that sound, it looks like a tombstone."
Li Yibo noticed that a tombstone over three meters high suddenly emerged from the ground not far from them.
"Don’t touch it, let’s get out of here quickly!"
Lin Feng’s expression changed. He didn’t know what it was, but the words on that tombstone, he saw them clearly—Bai Yue!!!
"Tch, you say don’t touch it, so I won’t touch it? Look at you, such trash. What, a tombstone, plus a blood moon, got you scared witless? How did you become such trash? Today, I’m going to touch it just to see, so you’ll understand what a real man is!"
Li Yibo sneered and advanced forward instead of retreating.
Lin Feng wanted to pursue him, but couldn’t catch up. Since the other party was closest to the tombstone, all Lin Feng could do at the moment was to quickly grab Li Bing and Aqi and run. As for that Li Yibo, if he’s looking for death, then that’s his own fault and nobody else’s, just don’t drag them down with him.
That tombstone must have a great connection with the Demoness Bai Yue.
As expected, the next moment, a scream rang out. Lin Feng turned to look, only to see that Li Yibo’s body was enveloped in a layer of strange blue flames. From his eye sockets, his mouth and nose, even from his ears, flames like serpents were burning there, and in an instant, his hair, eyebrows, and clothes all turned to ash.
He screamed hysterically.
Li Bing was startled by his words and was about to rush to save him, but Lin Feng held her back.
"Don’t go throwing your life away, that guy, he’s beyond saving. Hurry, let’s go, or we’ll be stuck here too!!"
Lin Feng urged immediately.
Seeing this, Li Bing nodded and fled immediately after seeing that the struggling Li Yibo had turned into a layer of charred remains.
The night deepened, and the blood moon above them cast a layer of red over the entire land.
"Lin Feng, what exactly happened, I know you must know something!"
As they fled frantically, Li Bing couldn’t help it anymore.
"A Demon lord has emerged! What’s suppressing the Demon lord, is actually not any Altar, nor any Array, but the moonlight! Every April 15th, a blood moon will appear here, and by that time, the Demon lord will break his Binding and sweep across the land!!"
Lin Feng said gravely.
Li Bing’s face drained of color, and Aqi at her side also turned deathly pale.
In fact, Lin Feng didn’t know much either; all he knew came from what his father Lin Zheng had told him. What Bai Yue the Demoness looked like, whether she was from the south or a female, whether her skin was dark or white, and the extent of her strength were all unclear to him. But from what he heard, she seemed like someone he currently couldn’t handle.
Suddenly, Lin Feng stopped in his tracks, not just him, Li Bing and Aqi did as well. Their gazes were all focused on a beguiling figure ahead.
That figure stood atop a hill, her calm eyes watching them. This was a woman, her long dress trailing on the ground, wearing a long robe, with a veil over her face that revealed only two purple eyes. Between her brows was the mark of a blood moon.
"Can you tell me why I am here?"
She spoke, her voice extremely ethereal. Lin Feng felt a tingling sensation on his scalp, and four words emerged in his mind: Bai Yue the Demoness!
"Big brother, that demoness who destroyed our turf is here!"
"Get her, damn it, she dared to mess with the Fierce Tiger Gang’s turf, she’s asking for death!"
Suddenly, from nowhere, more than twenty burly men emerged, all roaring and charging towards the demoness.
The one leading, who wielded a gold northern great saber, had an incredibly robust aura— at least at the level of a Great Martial Master Fourth Layer. He charged ahead, his blade wrapped in a cold gleam, cleaving through the air towards her.
However, the woman simply waved her hand. Then, more than twenty men suddenly froze in place, petrified, and in the next moment, were cut in half at the waist; their upper bodies separated from their lower halves.
"How, how is this possible."
The burly man murmured a sentence, then helplessly fell to the ground.
Seeing this scene, Li Bing and Aqi were terrified. In one move, she had wiped out more than twenty people.
"Lin Feng, what do we do?"
Li Bing’s face lost all color.
Lin Feng frowned; what could they do? How would he know? But in his view, this person, very likely to be Bai Yue the Demoness, wasn’t particularly strong, seemingly at the Earth Martial Master level. Of course, she had more than enough power to kill him.
A purple figure suddenly disappeared from that hilltop and reappeared in front of them, her gaze still as calm as before.
"Who am I, where am I, if you don’t talk, then I can only blame you before I kill you."
As she spoke, a ball of purple Gang Qi appeared on her slender fingertips.
Indeed, purple Gang Qi. Ordinary people, even Lin Feng, would have white Gang Qi, but hers was a bewitching purple.
Lin Feng glanced at the several ornament-like things on her wrist, then looked away, as those were made of human bones.
"You are Bai Yue the Demoness. As for why you are here, I don’t know either."
Lin Feng spoke calmly; at this point, there was no use being afraid.
"Bai Yue the Demoness?"
The woman frowned, then immediately looked up at the moon in the sky, a confused look flashing through her eyes.
Seeing this, a thought struck Lin Feng; could this woman have lost her memory?
Li Bing and Aqi at his side didn’t dare to breathe too loudly, afraid they might be slashed at the waist the next second.
