The two guards were both women. In Lu Feng’s opinion, they should be the accompanying concubines who helped carry the spears day and night, and their combat strength was average.
When Lu Feng was still 100 meters away, he slightly lifted his green cloak, revealing the flying knives and flying needles hanging on his waist. He took out two flying needles and moved his fingers slightly. Then…
Swish! Swish!
In the forest under the moonlight, there were two faint sounds of rushing wind. The noise was so quiet that even the most careful person might not be able to detect it.
But just as the flying needles passed through the dense bushes, the sound of a sharp blade being unsheathed sounded in the night.
Clang!
Luo Ning raised her wrist slightly and unsheathed her three-foot-long soft sword. It drew a silver arc in the air and swept away the silver needles.
Ding! Ding!
Two sparks burst out under the night sky, and the two flying needles broke into two and stabbed into the ground.
Luo Ning pointed her sword diagonally at the ground and coldly looked at the dark forest in the distance. “Who’s there? Come out!”
Pei Xiangjun sensed that the hidden person’s martial arts skills were unfathomable. She first glanced at Ye Jingtang, who was meditating in the cave, from the corner of her eye, and then she held her spear with both hands and stood beside Luo Ning.
Whoosh!
Soon, the sound of rushing wind came from the forest ahead.
Lu Feng jumped up from the forest lightly. He stood steadily on green leaves with the tip of his foot and raised his bamboo hat slightly, revealing his defined chin. “Heh… 1 didn’t expect you to be so skilled.”
When Pei Xiangjun and Luo Ning saw this scene, their eyes narrowed.
Although they didn’t see the person’s appearance clearly, other than Yan Mountain’s Cutting Cloud Steps, there were almost no other lightness skills that could allow people to stand on leaves with one foot.
Even in Yan Mountain’s Cutting Cloud Palace, only a few of the sect’s upper echelons could practice lightness skills to this level.
Pei Xiangjun’s combat strength was extraordinary in upfront combat, but the disciples of the Cutting Cloud Palace generally didn’t fight head-on.
The domineering aspect of the Cutting Cloud Steps was that if people practiced the lightness skills to the extreme, they could step on the tip of their opponent’s weapon and soar into the air again.
For this reason, when people from the Cutting Cloud Palace fought, they would usually move around in the sky without touching the ground, and they wouldn’t attack unless they were completely confident. If they discovered that something was wrong, they would escape far away. It could be said that they could advance and retreat freely.
Pei Xiangjun was not good at lightness skills, and Luo Ning’s lightness skills were not superb. When they faced an expert of the Cutting Cloud Palace, it was very likely that they would have to stand on the ground and defend passively until the opponent seized the opportunity to attack or took the initiative to retreat.
Realizing that it wouldn’t be an easy fight, Pei Xiangjun didn’t take the initiative to attack and asked, “Your Excellency, are you from the Cutting Cloud Palace?”
Lu Feng stood lightly on the treetop and said indifferently, “It doesn’t matter who 1 am. 1 just want one thing. Give me a copy of the formula for the Snow Lake Powder, and I’ll leave.”
Luo Ning said coldly, “What if we don’t give it?”
“Hmph!” Lu Feng stepped on the treetop and slowly walked forward. “Ye Silang used the Wind Pool Reverse Blood. Forceful movements will hurt his foundation. The two of you alone can’t do anything to me. Your Red Flower Pavilion snatched the formula. Copy a copy for me, and everyone will be happy. If you can’t see the situation clearly, be careful not to lose both your life and wealth.”
Pei Xiangjun might not be able to catch up to the people from the Cutting Cloud Palace, but she was really not afraid of guarding the entrance with her spear. She said calmly, “Ownerless items belong to whoever has the ability. If you want it, come and take it.”
Lu Feng clenched his hands behind his back. Although he couldn’t see the situation in the cave, Ye Silang didn’t come out after they talked for so long, which meant that he was recovering from his injury and couldn’t use his qi.
Thinking of this, Lu Feng didn’t say anything else. The hands behind his back moved slightly, and then…
Bain!
The crown of the tree suddenly shook, and countless green leaves scattered in the air.
Lu Feng threw his hands forward. The six snowflake darts drew random arcs in the air and intertwined with each other, shooting toward the two people in front of the cave from six directions.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Seeing this, Luo Ning directly soared into the air, spun the Weeping Water Sword in her hand like a windmill, blocking everything in front of her, and then slashed down three snowflake darts.
Pei Xiangjun’s fighting method was much more forceful. The Overlord Spear in her hand swept across the air, and the strong wind it brought instantly deflected the darts and leaves shooting over. Then the spear suddenly pierced nearly three inches into the ground.
Crack!
The next moment, Pei Xiangjun kicked the spear shaft with her right foot, causing the Overlord Spear to bend and flick out of the ground.
Bam!
With a loud explosion, a groove appeared on the ground. Countless pieces of soil and gravel flew out and shot toward the tree crown.
Almost at the same time, Pei Xiangjun’s figure rushed out with the countless soil and gravel. In the blink of an eye, she closed the distance of dozens of feet and attacked.
But due to Lu Feng’s fighting style, it was impossible for him to face the spear head-on. His figure soared into the sky, and his hands kept flicking forward, shooting dozens of various hidden weapons from the night sky toward the ground.
Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa!
In an instant, countless pits appeared on the ground.
Pei Xiangjun spun her spear like a tornado to defend against the hidden weapons coming from above. After Lu Feng soared into the air and fell, her legs suddenly shook.
Boom!
Amidst the explosive sound, Pei Xiangjun held the end of the spear in her right hand and soared into the sky, stabbing straight at Lu Feng.
But the Cutting Cloud Steps by no means had an empty reputation.
When Lu Feng fell, he shot two flying knives in the air. His feet closed together and accurately caught the spear stabbing at him. Before the terrifying force could enter his body, he jumped into the sky again.
Whoosh!
Pei Xiangjun spun a few times in the air to dodge the flying knives. Realizing that she couldn’t reach an opponent proficient in the Cutting Cloud Steps, she moved on the ground to find an opportunity and waited for Lu Feng to make a mistake and fall.
As for Luo Ning, she was holding her soft sword. In a situation where her lightness skills were inferior to the opponent’s, it was too risky to get close. As soon as the fight started, she picked up the strong bow at the entrance of the cave, nocked an arrow, and drew the bow.
Swish! Swish!
Several arrows pierced through the air, sending out sharp whistles in the night sky, forcing Lu Feng to change his position..
