Chapter 660 – Failed Plan

"Feng Xuan, O Feng Xuan. Aren’t you getting impatient already? Shall we start?” Feng Xuan muttered to herself.

Long Chen and Mo Xiaolang’s gazes darkened. They could tell that Feng Xuan was about to begin.

If they didn’t stop her, Huangfu Qi’s body would dissolve until only three Heavenly Wind Veins remained in the wooden tub. Then Feng Xuan would be able to transplant the three veins into her own body.

This method was evil and violent, a reflection of the woman.

That woman must die,

Long Chen privately told himself.

Mo Xiaolang touched his arm, then gave him a pointed look.

Long Chen nodded.

It was time.

Mo Xiaolang dashed nimbly to another spot in the forest. Then he started executing his plan.

Meanwhile, Long Chen snuck to a spot close to the cave.

Mo Xiaolang regained his powerful combat abilities by turning into the Sun Devouring Wolf. Now that he had reached Category Three King-tier, he was much larger than before. He was just slightly weaker than the Blackwater Viper!

“Roar!”

A gust of black flames burned down all the trees around him. The black Sun Devouring Wolf leaped out of the flames and landed in front of Feng Xuan.

When Mo Xiaolang started moving, Feng Xuan did not look in his direction, but there was a cold smirk on her face.

Long Chen thought he had imagined it. It was a critical juncture, so he did not dwell on it.

After Xiaolang had turned into the Sun Devouring Wolf, Feng Xuan turned around quickly, just as they expected. When she saw Xiaolang, there was a flash of surprise in her eyes, but she quickly calmed down.

“Have you finally decided to act? This beast is not bad at all,” Feng Xuan said with a smile.

Long Chen and Xiaolang were startled, then they realized that Feng Xuan might have noticed them a long time ago. She had not done anything only because she was toying with them.

Long Chen immediately realized how serious their predicament was!

“Oh no!”

There was a flash of panic in the Sun Devouring Wolf’s eyes when he saw that Feng Xuan was not surprised to see him at all, but he quickly calmed down. With a fierce expression, a portion of the Nine Devils Ancestral Fire separated and poured in her direction!

“Oh, what kind of fire is this?” Feng Xuan moved aside, then put the tub with Huangfu Qi inside in front of herself!

Xiaolang quickly retracted the flames when he saw this, because if the fire hit Huangfu Qi, their plan would fail.

Their plan did not include Feng Xuan knowing about their presence, so they became the defensive party.

Long Chen and Mo Xiaolang had no idea how Feng Xuan had found out about them.

The Nine Devils Ancestral Fire attack had not baited Feng Xuan to chase after him, and his actions had allowed her to figure out what Long Chen and Mo Xiaolang were after. Xiaolang did not want to hurt Huangfu Qi; didn’t that mean that they were here to rescue her?

“So you’re here to save the girl. You followed me from Martial Overlord City, and you really thought I didn’t know about you? As for the other one, come out here. I know where you are.” Feng Xuan looked in Long Chen’s direction.

Fuck. We’ve got to risk it all now.

Long Chen knew there was no longer a need to hide. He walked out from behind a tree trunk and looked at her wistfully.

When Feng Xuan saw him, there was a hint of approval on her face. Eyeing him up and down, she said, “You’ve reached a high cultivation level at a very young age, and you even have a Category Three King-tier beast accompanying you. I’m sure you’re famous in the Divine Martial Empire, right?”

Long Chen did not answer her.

He was thinking of a plan.

The Sun Devouring Wolf was standing not far from him. His eyes were burning with black flames, and they were fixed on Feng Xuan. Huangfu Qi was next to her. He looked at Long Chen, asking him how they would approach this matter.

Long Chen was also out of ideas, so they could only go with the flow.

Feng Xuan was a bitch through and through.

Her greedy gaze swept across both Long Chen and Mo Xiaolang, but Long Chen felt disgusted by it and said, “We brothers aren’t interested in old women, especially old women that anyone can get with. You’re going to be disappointed.”

Long Chen’s words made Feng Xuan tremble with rage.

In recent years, being called an old woman really got under her skin. Not only had Long Chen thrown the most triggering insult at her, he had said it with a look of contempt on his face, igniting the fire of rage in her heart.

“Alright! Alright! You did not listen when I was nice, so die!

“Three Thousand Illusions!”

After her furious reply, she unleashed the attack she had used against the Martial Overlord Seal, thinking she could finish Long Chen and Mo Xiaolang at the same time. If she dealt with them, she would be able to transplant Huangfu Qi’s Heavenly Wind Veins without worry.

Three thousand densely packed shadows made of the wind appeared around Feng Xuan. They were all human-shaped with arms and feet. Each of them possessed great combat abilities, and they could even self-destruct at the last moment, inflicting even greater damage!

Under Feng Xuan’s control, the three thousand shadows surrounded the brothers instantly. There seemed to be no space for Long Chen and Mo Xiaolang to run, including upwards and downwards.

The Three Thousand Illusions made Long Chen’s brows furrow.

Very soon, he had an idea.

But it was a dangerous one.

However, if they fought her shadows and wasted time, they would likely die before they could touch Feng Xuan.

“Haha! I’ll give you a taste of my Three Thousand Illusions! Don’t worry, I’m only going to catch you guys. I won’t let you guys die so quickly. You two young men are quite handsome, so I must treat you to a good time, of course!” Feng Xuan chuckled and shook her waist.

The illusions instantly leaped at Long Chen and the Sun Devouring Wolf.

Long Chen ran to Xiaolang’s side and whispered into his ear, “Xiaolang, cover me so I can escape.”

Cover him so he can escape?

Mo Xiaolang knew that Long Chen was a righteous person, and he would not abandon Mo Xiaolang and Huangfu Qi to run off on his own. If he wanted Xiaolang to cover him, he definitely had his reasons!

At this moment, the illusions arrived. More than a hundred of them were packed densely around them, so they attacked from all directions. Escaping was almost impossible for a cultivator under the Fourth Earthly Martial Stage!

“Dragon Soul Transformation!” Long Chen used the Dragon Soul Transformation to boost his combat abilities by ten times, making his essence the equivalent of a Third Earthly Martial Stage cultivator’s essence!

Blood-red dragon scales covered his body, and his sharp, knife-like spines made him look menacing!

After using the Dragon Soul Transformation, he rushed toward at least four illusions and used the Soul Dispersing Dragon Claw. He had to slash four times in order to shatter them completely, but new ones emerged from Feng Xuan’s side. Countless gusts of wind blew in Long Chen’s direction!

The Sun Devouring Wolf roared and sprayed a large swath of black flames from his mouth. The black flames were the Nine Devils Ancestral Fire. It was difficult for the illusions to withstand the fire, so they were burned away. The Sun Devouring Wolf stood in front of Long Chen and helped him clear a path!

All the illusions along the path were cleared completely by Xiaolang!

Long Chen rushed through the path and ran ten times faster than he did before in order to break free from the illusions!

After breaking free from them, Long Chen’s furious voice echoed across the cave. “You bitch! I’m going to kill you one day! But I’ll let you live today!”

When Feng Xuan heard him and saw him running away, she shook her head and said, “He abandoned the little girl and his own demonic beast to run off alone? Looks like the brat isn’t a good person either. And he wants to come back for revenge? Hehe. Do you think you can run from me?”

After Xiaolang spat out the Nine Devils Ancestral Fire, he was trapped by countless shadows. The only weapon he had against them was his Nine Devils Ancestral Fire, which prevented him from immediately being killed. However, his situation quickly grew dire. He told himself that he had to hold on until Long Chen’s plan succeeded!

Long Chen was not running off on his own; he definitely had a plan!

Feng Xuan was confident that her illusions could defeat Xiaolang. From the sounds of the wind, she knew that there was no one else within a few-kilometer radius. Therefore, she decided to abandon Huangfu Qi for the moment and chase after Long Chen.

With her speed, she could catch Long Chen in just a few breaths’ time.
