C1454 The Goal of Deadwood
The oppressive feeling disappeared, and the Ghost Cloth Guard immediately reacted. They shouted loudly, "Stop!"
Stopping his steps, the sound of the door opening came from behind him. Xu Feng slowly turned around and looked at the Ghost Cloth Guard with a smile that wasn't a smile. He said proudly, "Weren't you very arrogant just now?"
"I hope you can still be so arrogant when you come out!"
Although they were dissatisfied with Xu Feng's attitude, the Ghost Cloth Guard didn't dare to offend him. After all, if Xu Feng really turned around and left, they would be punished.
"Of course, you don't need to pay attention to this!"
Protector Hwa led the way. Xu Feng and the others followed closely behind. When they arrived in front of the Ghost Cloth Guard, Xu Feng stopped and glanced at him. After saying that, he entered the mansion.
"Huhuhu..."
As soon as he stepped into the mansion, a gust of chilly wind blew over. Xu Feng muttered discontentedly, "Pretending to be mysterious!"
Xu Feng had already experienced the way the master of Ghost Market, Deadwood, did things. Every time, he would pretend to be mysterious. Therefore, he didn't feel surprised.
Not long after, Protector Hwa brought the four of them to a hall. Deadwood was already waiting there. He stroked his white beard with a smile and fixed his eyes on the five of them.
"Protector Hwa, it has been a while since I last saw you!"
Protector Hwa did not say anything, but Deadwood spoke first. He was smiling brightly, and there was not a trace of ruthlessness on his face. Instead, he looked like a kind old man at the entrance of the village.
However, Xu Feng didn't have a good impression of this old man. Back then, he broke both of his legs without saying anything, and even let Lu Baixian die under his hands. All of these were grudges.
One should never be deceived by a person's appearance. After all these years, Xu Feng had already understood this principle.
"Putong!"
Protector Hwa knelt on the ground and slowly said, "Greetings master, I have brought Xu Feng here!"
"Oh... You can go out first. You are not needed here anymore!"
Withered Tree gently nodded his head. He waved his hand and asked Protector Hwa to leave first. Protector Hwa frowned but didn't say anything. He still left.
There was no point for him to stay here. He might be able to get some help if he left. Besides, no one in Ghost Market was a match for Deadwood. If they really fought, he would only die if he stayed here.
"Hand him over!"
After Protector Hwa left, Xu Feng asked in a cold voice.
His purpose of coming here was to save Lu Yifu. If he didn't see Lu Yifu, his heart would never be at ease.
"Hehe, don't worry, he's fine!"
Deadwood was neither in a hurry nor slow. His pretentious manner made Xu Feng frown. This bastard could kill people with just a smile. The happier he was, the more dangerous Lu Yifu's situation would be.
"Alright, tell me then. Why did you let me come here after so many hardships?"
Taking a deep breath, Xu Feng calmed his emotions and asked in a deep voice.
He needed to know his bargaining chip in order to have the right to negotiate with Deadwood. Otherwise, it would be extremely difficult to save Lu Yifu.
Furthermore, Xu Feng also wanted to know why Deadwood and Murong family wanted to touch him. Was it because of the same reason?
"Not long ago, a few Ghost Cloth Guard were killed by you!"
Taking a sip of tea, Deadwood said slowly. Xu Feng frowned slightly when he heard what he said, but he didn't deny it.
He naturally knew who Witherwood was referring to, but that night, he only killed Meng Heetang. According to what Witherwood said, those people seemed to have all died.
"That night, the martial art you used was Meng Heetang's dog-beating stick technique? And the martial arts of the others? "
After saying that, Deadwood's gaze suddenly became sharp. Once again, that terrifying aura surrounded the four of them.
In the past, this Qi could suppress Xu Feng, but now that Xu Feng had become stronger, it was impossible for Deadwood to suppress him so easily.
The blood and Yuan energy in his body were circulating rapidly in Xu Feng's blood. Under the circulation of blood and Yuan energy, all the energy that was pressing down on Xu Feng's body gradually disappeared. Xu Feng's face was calm and composed.
The other three men were the same. No matter how fierce Deadwood was, none of them were suppressed by this energy. Even Xia Yuvlaan, who was slightly weaker, was able to stay calm with Ling Shihong's help.
"Humph!"
Knowing that this attack was useless, Deadwood snorted coldly and withdrew his Qi. Xu Feng and the other three looked at him with a smile that was not a smile, as if they were mocking Deadwood's failure in posturing.
"So what if it is? They were just confused by me, and killed each other with just a few words!"
Xu Feng did not tell Ku Mu about the Sky Breaking Spell. He found a relatively reasonable excuse. After all, if the world knew that the Sky Breaking Spell was with him, it would certainly cause a storm of blood.
Humans would die for money, birds would die for food. This was a principle that had never changed since ancient times. Even though Xu Feng was very powerful now, the temptation of the Sky Breaking Spell was greater. Many cultivators were definitely willing to bet their lives in exchange for the Sky Breaking Spell!
"Hahaha..."
When Deadwood heard this, he burst into laughter. His laughter echoed in the room. Suddenly, it stopped abruptly. His voice turned cold, "Do you have Battle Holy Monarch's Sky Breaking Spell on you?"
Ka Te and the others had their eyes fixed on Xu Feng, because they knew that Xu Feng was indeed the descendant of Battle Holy Monarch. They were worried that Ku Mu would kill Xu Feng in the future.
Of course, Xu Feng wasn't that stupid. He shook his head slightly. He ridiculed him mercilessly, "Deadwood, have you lived for too long? Have you lost your mind? Or is it because your life is coming to an end and you don't have much time left, so you are in a desperate situation?"
As the master of Ghost Market, Deadwood was naturally dissatisfied with Xu Feng's taunt. He slammed his palm on the table, shattering the stone table made of granite.
Just as he was about to speak, Xu Feng's voice was heard again." If I were Battle Holy Monarch's descendant, would I still need to depend on your expression? I would have cut you into eight pieces long ago to avenge my dead brother!"
When Lu Baixian died under Deadwood's hands, Xu Feng and the others had been heartbroken for a long time. Now that they had met their enemy, it was imaginable how much hatred Xu Feng had for him.
"That's true!"
The Deadwood slowly calmed down. Xu Feng heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. He waved his hand and the void shattered. A gunny sack fell out of the void.
"Wuwuwu..."
The sack let out a low whimper. It was obvious that there was a person inside. Xu Feng was startled and quickly untied the sack.
"Wuwuwu..."
This person was naturally Lu Yifu. At this moment, his mouth was stuffed with a towel and his body was tied up. His entire body was covered in bruises and he was in dire straits. Even his Yuan energy had been sealed. From the looks of it, it was obvious that he had been tortured in Ghost Market.
"Uncle Lu!"
Ignoring everything else, Xu Feng took away the towel from Lu Yifu's mouth and untied the rope on his body. He then asked, "Uncle Lu, how are you? Are you alright?"
"I'm fine! How can you come here?"
Lu Yifu knew about the grudge between Xu Feng and Ghost Market, so he said anxiously. However, he was touched that Xu Feng could save him like this.
"Uncle Lu, you are my family. How can I not care about you?"
Xu Feng's voice was calm, but it was filled with sincerity. Lu Yifu's lips moved, but he didn't know what to say.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
Looking at this scene, Deadwood clapped his hands and said with a smile, "What a touching scene. I almost cried when I saw it, but..."
"But what!"
Deadwood was definitely not a man of good faith. It was simply wishful thinking for him to hand over Lu Yifu so easily. Without even thinking, he must have other conditions.
"However, your uncle has encountered a small problem. His meridians are locked by my Yuan energy. Only I can unlock them. If you don't hand over the Sky Breaking Spell, his Dantian will dry up. I'm afraid that in a few years, he will die of old age!"
Xu Feng refused to believe it. He injected his Yuan energy into Lu Yifu's body. Just like what Deadwood had said, Lu Yifu's meridians had been sealed. Even Xu Feng's Yuan energy was rejected and could not enter Lu Yifu's body.
This kind of technique was not only vicious, it also required an extremely powerful strength. Xu Feng couldn't even do it. He never thought that Deadwood would be able to do it. This also showed how powerful Deadwood was.
"Hmph! So what if he's dead? He has lived for a few hundred years. Don't even think about using me to threaten Xu Feng!"
Lu Yifu naturally wasn't a person who was afraid of death. He pushed Xu Feng away and said loudly.
Deadwood laughed loudly again. After a long while, he finally stopped. He looked at Xu Feng and said slowly, "I admire you very much. You are a man who is not afraid of death. However, this doesn't mean that there are people who are willing to watch you die!"
Relationship and loyalty were Xu Feng's weakness. This was something that Deadwood had long seen through. Back then, he had forced Xu Feng to do things for him, but now, he still had the same method.
Although the method was a little old, the most important thing was that it was useful. As the saying went, regardless of the black cat or white cat, those who could catch mice were good cats.
Xu Feng remained silent. His fists were clenched so tightly that cracking sounds could be heard. He gritted his teeth and also suppressed the anger in his body. Even so, he had a feeling that he could explode at any time.
"If it wasn't for the accurate news, I wouldn't have caught your uncle. Xu Feng, you'd better be smart, otherwise..."
With a sinister smile, Deadwood slowly shook his hand. The Yuan energy that was left in Lu Yifu's body... He suddenly activated it, as if a large hand was grabbing his internal organs. Unable to breathe, he fell to his knees, his face pale. He could die at any time.
"Don't... don't believe him!"
He hurriedly supported Lu Yifu, but Lu Yifu used all his strength and said intermittently.
All this time, he did not want to be a burden to Xu Feng. He did not think that he would still be a burden now. If Xu Feng lost the Sky Breaking Spell because of this, Lu Yifu would be able to keep his life. He was afraid that he would still live in guilt.
