Chapter 84: Chapter 84: Rank 1 Formation
Slash!
Spurt!
Blood sprayed into the air.
No.1 smiled faintly as she saw the crimson splash from Li Feng’s neck but in the very next instant, her expression froze.
Because Her dagger had stopped as it couldn’t pierce any deeper.
Li Feng frowned slightly, feeling the faint sting from the wound, but he didn’t seem to mind the blood as it was merely a scratch.
With a cold glint in his eyes, he kicked the massive figure in front of him.
Boom!
No.0’s body was sent flying backward like a broken mountain boulder.
Then, without pause, Li Feng turned and reached back with one hand to grab the sneaky woman behind him.
Swoosh!
With a rustle sound of fabric as he caught her and swung her over his shoulder, intending to smash her into the ground but what hit the earth was only an empty cloak.
Swish!
In the next second, a pair of supple white legs wrapped around his neck.
Despite looking soft and supple yet the strength behind them was terrifying, as if trying to snap his neck in half.
No.1 raised her dagger high, aiming straight for Li Feng’s eye.
She had already noticed his abnormal body defense, and she didn’t believe his eyes could be as tough as his flesh.
Li Feng frown at this slippery women and for once a small sense of alert warning his sense,
’...That dagger is weird.’
Then his hand shot up, fingers like an iron clamp as he caught her wrist mid-thrust.
The dagger halted a hair’s breadth from his eye, trembling as No.1 poured all her strength into trying to force it down.
"Persistent," Li Feng muttered, his voice calm but edged with irritation.
Then No.1 twisted her hips, tightening her legs around his neck even further. Her body moved with fluid grace-trained, precise, and deadly.
But before she could finish her movement, Li Feng’s other hand grasped her ankle and yanked her effortlessly from him.
He intended to smash her into the ground, yet suddenly, Li Feng felt something strange in his hand as the grip he had on her ankle loosened abruptly, as if her leg had lost all its bones.
Swish!
Her body escaped before she managed to hit the ground as she flipped gracefully backward before landing a distance away.
She was now completely naked, her white, curvy body revealed to the world, yet she didn’t seem to feel any shame at all.
"Young Master Li sure is energetic~ It would be great if we could take this battle to the bed instead."
No.1 smiled seductively as she stood up, tracing her hand from below her stomach and slowly upward until her fingers cupped her ample breast and lifted it slightly.
Despite appearing calm and unbothered, she was actually frowning deeply inside as she noticed the wound on Li Feng’s neck had already healed in the blink of an eye.
’...What kind of body is that? That strike was meant to kill.’
Li Feng didn’t attack immediately, as his attention was on No.1 .... not her voluptuous naked body, but the pair of daggers in her hand.
Even though the wound had healed, there was something strange about those daggers, since they had managed to wound him.
Seeing Li Feng staring at the daggers, No.1 smiled and raised them."It seems you’re quite interested in this pair of daggers. I actually got them from one of my bed friends~. If Young Master Li wants them, I can gift them to you."
Li Feng just scoffed, "Once you’re dead, they’ll be mine anyway."
"Ahh~ To think I’d actually get rejected. Please reconsider, Young Master Li. As long as you let us go, I’ll let you have this pair of daggers..."
Then she leaned forward slightly, making her ample breasts dropping and pulled by gravity to emphasize their roundness."...And I can even let you enjoy my body as much as you desire~."
Seeing the mature, voluptuous woman acting so seductive, Li Feng frowned and glanced slightly toward his little brother.
Usually, if any beautiful woman acted like that toward him, he would go for it.
Because he lived by the philosophy of never rejecting an easy, free meal...but now he felt oddly calm, like an enlightened monk, which was very strange.
Still, he chose to trust his little brother’s judgment.
With a righteous, and serious face he said, "It’s useless. There’s no way I can let anyone go after learning they have bad intentions toward my senior sister."
Seeing the righteous Li Feng, No.1 frowned slightly, realizing that the information of Li Feng having a fondness for women was completely wrong.
"Ara~ then you really are missing out on a great time." Then her eyes glinted as she activated something with a hand sign.
Suddenly, a glowing diagram appeared on the ground around Li Feng.
"A formation?" Li Feng murmured, observing the luminous pattern beneath him.
Zingggg...Zingggg...
Then a cluster of golden chains rose from the ground, wrapping tightly around Li Feng’s body.
No.10, who was at a distance, sigh in relief after seeing the golden chain.
Before the battle, No.1 had instructed him to go around and repair the formation nodes they had prepared to capture Fen Ziyan as Li Feng’s powerful attack had completely disrupted the formation.
And now after seeing this, No.1 felt a bit relieved, because she was quite unsure if the formation would have even worked.
Then she shouted, "Retreat now!"
No.1’s only intention in using the formation was to hold Li Feng long enough for them to escape.
After saying these words, her figure and those of the others disappeared from sight, each fleeing in a different direction.
Li Feng just sneered seeing them run and summoned some of his strength, trying to break through the binding chains.
Then a small surprised expression appeared on his face, as he didn’t think this formation could actually withstand his strength, even if it weren’t his full power.
An intrigued expression began to appear on his face, as he found that the formation was quite interesting since it was able to exert power beyond its level.
But after a few moments trying to understand how the formation worked, he gave up.
With a weary sigh, he smiled.
"I almost forgot that I’m pretty trash at this... System, I want to buy Rank 1 Formation Talent."
[Ding!]
[-50 Favor Points]
[Congratulations, Host! You have acquired Rank 1 Formation Talent.]
Almost immediately, Li Feng’s mind flooded with information.
Lines, runes, and flow diagrams flickered before his eyes like stars bursting into existence, each one intricate yet somehow instinctively understood.
"So this is the foundation of formation arts..." he murmured, a faint smile tugging at his lips.
The once incomprehensible pattern beneath his feet now seemed simple... crude, even.
The interlocking nodes, the energy circulation paths, the control anchor far to the east... it all unfolded clearly in his mind’s eye.
He chuckled softly. "So the control point’s over there, huh."
The golden chains rattled violently as spiritual energy began to surge from his body.
The formation reacted immediately, tightening around him with renewed intensity.
"Still trying?" Li Feng raised his brows and clenched his fist.
Crack—
A sharp fracture appeared along one of the glowing chains.
Then another.
And another.
Boom!
With one casual flex of his body, all the chains shattered at once , dissolving into fragments of light that faded into the air.
Li Feng stepped out of the fading glow, brushing some dust from his sleeve as he look at the direction where all three of those people have run to.
"Hmph, let’s see how you all escape from my brick."
Then he took out the Overpowered Brick and threw it in one direction, while his body also disappeared into the brick.
Swoosh!
A gust of wind exploded outward, scattering leaves and dirt.
Meanwhile, No.1 was sprinting through the dense forest, her bare feet barely touching the ground.
Her breathing was calm, but her heart pounded with tension.
The formation had bought her time... barely.
She’d already thrown on a spare cloak, but her skin still glistened faintly under the moonlight, betraying her earlier encounter.
"Damn it... that monster shouldn’t be able to-"
Her thought was cut short.
A faint whoosh passed her ear.
The next thing she knew, a massive shadow loomed in front of her.
Li Feng was already there.
"Leaving so soon?" he asked, voice low but amused.
Her pupils shrank. "Impossible-"
Before she could even blink, his hand was already at her throat, tight enough to choke, as Li Feng no longer want to waste anymore time.
"Ahh... please spare me, Young Master...!"
No.1 immediately pleaded, tears welling in her eyes as she sensed the impending death.
Li Feng just stayed silent as he didn’t care whether her tear was real or not.
Just as he was about to snap her neck, an idea flashed through his mind and he looked at her oddly.
In a strange tone he said, "...I can spare your life, but you mustn’t resist."
Then he released her neck.
No.1’s eyes glinted cunningly; as if she had just escaped death, she immediately nodded.
"Y-Yes! I won’t resist." , she continue put on a weak and obedient expression but inside she sneer after hearing Li Feng tone and look.
’Ha-men are always the same, pretending to be grand, then dropping the act when they think no one’s watching...hmph. I’ll find a way to kill you once you’re lost in pleasure.’
She had killed many people through honey traps, so she was quite experienced.
No.1 thinking that Li Feng want to enjoy her body in the dark forest.
So she arched her curvy form, placed both hand on a tree, and positioned herself provocatively as her bare plump white peach is reveal to Li Feng.
In a pretend-weak voice she whispered and lowered all her spiritual defenses, hoping to remove any more hesitation from Li Feng.
"P-Please, Young Master Li... enjoy yourself to your heart’s content..."
But she didn’t notice Li Feng behind her.
That he slowly raised a brick high in his hand, then brought it down toward her head.
Smack!
