As soon as they could, Liu Kai and the others ran to Ji Fengyan’s side. They looked over Ji Fengyan several times and only heaved a sigh of relief when they were assured that she was unharmed.
“Fengyan, you really must be… crazy, but… you were awesome!” Liu Kai looked at Ji Fengyan and spoke agitatedly.
The various scenes just now had dazzled them. Every move and every action had been too quick for them to take in.
Ji Fengyan laughed lightly and secretly suppressed the urge to kill that was rising in her heart.
“What’s the origin of your sword? It’s so powerful. I’ve never seen you use it before.” Liu Kai stared at the evil-vanquishing sword in Ji Fengyan’s hand. He had personally witnessed the sword’s power.
Ji Fengyan glanced at the evil-vanquishing sword in her hand and laughingly replied, “It’s called the evil-vanquishing sword. My master left it to me.”
“Your master must have been exceptionally powerful.” Liu Kai and the others were envious. Although they had been smug about their prowess in the past, when they had really met the Demon Clan, they had been completely useless.
The other youths finally snapped out of their trance. Ji Fengyan’s display of elegance and talent had astonished everyone and hurried to render their thanks.
If not for Ji Fengyan, even if they had not been completely annihilated, many of them would have fallen prey to the dark blood snake.
The youths whom Ji Fengyan had rescued from the snake’s mouth almost fell down and worshiped her.
Ji Fengyan did not say much. She only looked at the pathetic-looking group of hooligans and took out some elixirs to help treat those who had been injured.
Those who owed their lives to Ji Fengyan had no suspicions of the “mud pills” that Ji Fengyan handed out. Each swallowed them more quickly than the next.
Having narrowly escaped death, everyone was completely exhausted. They lay panting on the grass, recent scenes replaying continually in their minds. Emotion overcame each of them by Ji Fengyan’s powerful posture.
This was the posture that a true Terminator should have. But in the past, they had only been smug. Now that they had been shown to be cowards in the face of battle, they felt very ashamed of themselves.
Ji Fengyan wiped the evil-vanquishing sword clean and was about to put it away when Liu Kai expressed his curiosity in it.
“I can see that blood does not stain the sword at all. How interesting.” Liu Kai looked at the evil-vanquishing sword in Ji Fengyan’s hand. It would still have been spotless even if she had not wiped it.
Ji Fengyan raised a brow at Liu Kai and replied, “That’s because it absorbs blood.”
“…” Liu Kai’s eyes almost popped out of his head. He was evidently frightened.
Ji Fengyan laughed softly and said, “I’m just teasing you. The evil-vanquishing sword absorbs anything that is evil.”
At this, Liu Kai let out his breath and resumed staring at the evil-vanquishing sword for a long time.
Zhou Bugui sat by himself at one side. He looked at the youths who had been badly injured by the dark blood snake, who were lying by the side. He was still frightened. If Ji Fengyan had not appeared in time just now, he would have been in the same state as those people.
When he thought of that, Zhou Bugui involuntarily looked at the body of the dark blood snake that had collapsed by the lake. His brows contracted in disgust.
Suddenly, Zhou Bugui noticed that numerous small ripples appeared on the smooth lake surface. A few bubbles silently burst on the surface, and the partially submerged dark blood snake suddenly started to move. The dead body was being slowly dragged into the water.
Zhou Bugui’s eyes suddenly widened and an ominous feeling rose in his heart.
In an instant, the clean lake surface became covered with black blood…
