Chapter 377 A narrow escape, a forced moment of glory.
Chu Lengyu lightly touched the ground with her toes, and like a light boat being carried by the wind, she quickly retreated.
At the same time, she quietly formed a hand seal, and a pale blue wind blade condensed at her fingertips.
The wind blades, accompanied by a whistling sound, shot swiftly toward the black serpent's eyes, forcing it to turn its head at this crucial moment, halting its ferocious attack and letting out a series of roars.
Her strike was extremely accurate, as if she had anticipated the monster's evasive reaction before making the move. Although the Black Serpent was not fatally injured, the wind blade grazed its eye.
In its pain, it became even more ferocious, hissing and lunging at Chu Lengyu with even greater ferocity.
However, Chu Lengyu calmly swam backward, took out a talisman and activated it instantly, transforming it into a blazing wall of fire that temporarily blocked the Black Serpent's attack route.
Behind the wall of fire, Chu Lengyu moved swiftly, making full use of the island's complex terrain and dense vegetation to skillfully evade the fish demon's frenzied pursuit.
Senior Sister Zhao and the others were all astonished when they witnessed this scene.
They had initially thought that Chu Lengyu had only managed to attain such cultivation through sheer luck, as rumored, thanks to her exceptional talent and the protection of her master. However, they had now witnessed firsthand her adaptability and composure in the face of crisis.
Senior Sister Zhao's eyes flickered, and her opinion of Chu Lengyu quietly rose.
Not only her, but the other three also had slight changes in their expressions, and their opinions couldn't help but change.
Li Feng was secretly alarmed. He had gone to great lengths to add a special spice that was extremely difficult to detect to the bait, in order to lure the black snake into attacking Chu Lengyu frantically, so as to carry out the sect leader's instructions.
I thought that Chu Lengyu would be flustered and at a loss after suddenly encountering this trouble.
Unexpectedly, she was so calm and composed. This was truly the behavior expected of a junior sister who had never stepped out of the sect.
It is truly remarkable and astonishing.
She was being chased by a demonic beast, and Senior Sister Zhao and the others could not stand idly by. They all stepped in to stop the Black Serpent, but although their spells looked powerful, they actually used very little of their true strength.
By a twist of fate, it even helped the snake demon shorten the distance between it and Chu Lengyu.
Chu Lengyu's expression darkened slightly, and a sharp dagger-like magical artifact appeared beside her, gleaming coldly.
With a single strike, it easily pierced the snake demon's hard scales, causing it to bleed profusely and suffer greatly.
Li Feng noticed this and could no longer contain himself, so he rushed forward.
He drew his longsword, its blade shimmering with spiritual light, clearly a high-quality spiritual sword.
Senior Sister Zhao and the others were all extremely astonished. Black Serpent was clearly at a disadvantage, and they didn't know why he had suddenly made a move.
"Take this!" Li Feng shouted, his figure moving like lightning, instantly rushing to the front of the Black Serpent.
All his spiritual power was rapidly poured into the sword, which fell towards the Black Serpent. The illusory image of the falling sword blade was like a crescent moon, bright and sharp.
The snake demon was caught in a pincer attack and had nowhere to run.
It let out a final, desperate cry before collapsing and dying.
Li Feng sheathed his sword and stood tall and straight, looking even more dashing and handsome.
His expression was calm, but his eyes revealed a hint of concern as he said softly, "Junior sister was frightened; this is my fault."
Chu Lengyu frowned slightly, then relaxed and replied, "Senior Brother Li's swordsmanship is superb, which has truly broadened my horizons and filled me with admiration."
Upon hearing this, Li Feng couldn't help but reveal a hint of smugness, secretly delighted.
Senior Sister Zhao and the others flew over, each with a strange expression.
From the moment Chu Lengyu took out that incomparably sharp dagger magic weapon, they had already determined that the Black Omen Serpent was no match for her.
Since Chu Lengyu could handle it alone, they were naturally happy to avoid suspicion and not intervene. In this way, Chu Lengyu could get a larger share of the spoils from the Black Serpent.
However, to their surprise, Li Feng suddenly rushed out at this moment and cleanly and efficiently dealt with the black snake.
For him, a mere low-level snake demon was nothing to worry about, and he didn't need to care about the slightest gain or loss.
They all already knew his true purpose.
That is to take this opportunity to show off, attract attention, or in other words, to show off.
Senior Sister Zhao couldn't help but shake her head slightly, a hint of helplessness flashing in her eyes.
If she had known earlier that Li Feng had such thoughts, she would have advised him against it, but she wouldn't have stopped him.
To obstruct someone's path to enlightenment is no less than killing their parents.
Since Li Feng wants to take a gamble, let him take it. Although there is a deep bond between the team members, since Li Feng did not discuss it with them beforehand, there is nothing to say afterward.
Such is often the way things are in this world: once something has happened, the consequences can only be accepted with equanimity.
Senior Sister Zhao exchanged a few polite words and then took the initiative to buy the Black Serpent directly, converting its value into spirit stones according to the market price and distributing it fairly among everyone.
This saves a lot of trouble.
With the mission completed, Junior Brother Wang and Junior Brother Zhang volunteered to go to the vicinity to retrieve the formation.
The two worked together seamlessly and swiftly, putting away the formation in no time.
Li Feng found a quiet place, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes to rest, and seemed to be cultivating.
Seeing this, Senior Sister Zhao felt slightly embarrassed.
Recalling Chu Lengyu's behavior just now, she couldn't help but guess that Chu Lengyu might have already seen through everything, but simply chose to cooperate silently without exposing her.
To mend their relationship, Senior Sister Zhao smiled and said to Chu Lengyu, "Junior Sister, let's rest for a bit, and then set off back to the sect after dawn. Since you've never left the sect before, why don't you come with us to the nearby Misty Cloud Island market? It's bustling there, and you might even be able to buy something useful."
Upon hearing this, Chu Lengyu understood Senior Sister Zhao's good intentions and immediately agreed.
High in the nearby sky.
Amidst swirling mist, several sea monsters huddled together, trembling, not daring to make a sound, gazing in awe at the man before them.
That man was none other than the leader of the Hundred Swords Pavilion; he had come in person and was hiding here.
He frowned as he watched everything unfold below, then snorted coldly and muttered, "Trying to teach a fish to swim; it's just making you a laughingstock!"
Sensing his displeasure, the sea monsters were filled with terror. They trembled and begged the man before them for mercy, promising never to approach Jiaozhou Island again.
However, before he could even finish speaking, he had already crushed her to death, as easily as crushing a few ants.
