Chapter 45: Chapter 45 Iron Head Centipede
Qin Feng’s eyes narrowed, realizing he had fallen into the opponent’s trap.
The lanky man had originally intended to steal his storage bag, and if Qin Feng had not pursued, they would naturally have been pleased to get away easily.
But now that he had caught up, these few characters clearly didn’t mind taking his life.
From their well-coordinated actions, it was evident this wasn’t their first ti doing such a thing.
Even the reason they had attacked him was probably preditated; because he wasn’t very strong, was young, and was obviously a novice who had just stepped into the Cultivation World, especially since he had just co out of the Baihua Pavilion.
Those who could enter and leave the Baihua Pavilion must have so possessions, so the group targeted him.
It turned out he was still green behind the ears. Although the Old Family Master had taught them quite a few things these past days, when it ca to the crunch, he still suffered from lack of experience.
“Kid, just hand over the magic artifacts on you, and we’ll spare your life,” ca the threatening demand.
The woman’s voice was sowhat sharp, “Otherwise, I will feed you to my darling.”
As soon as her words ended, a rustling sound erged from the dark urn she was holding, remaining a mystery as to what she was keeping inside.
Qin Feng glanced at her, then turned his head to look at the lanky man who had led him here.
He saw that the man now had a knife in his hand.
A very small knife, thin as paper, not longer than a finger, shaped like a willow leaf. As the man rotated it on his fingers, the tiny willow leaf knife appeared to dance among them, flickering with a cold light.
Qin Feng shook his head and sighed softly.
It was only himself. If it were any other small cultivator at the third stage of Qi Refinent, he probably would have lost his life here today.
Both the man and woman opposite had the cultivation of the fifth or sixth stage of Qi Refinent, each wielding a magic artifact, and the lanky man behind them, although only at the third stage of Qi Refinent, wielded the dangerously sharp little willow leaf knife. Alone with his cultivation, Qin Feng really didn’t see a way to break out from their hold.
As for the talk about sparing his life if he handed over his magic artifacts, that was just a bluff to fool naive children.
Even if he did have other magic artifacts, he wouldn’t just hand them over, letting them have their way.
Seeing his reaction, the n knew he wouldn’t comply easily. The scar-faced man holding double hooks sneered coldly, “Kid, since you refuse the toast and must drink a forfeit, grandpa will send you on your way!”
Before his voice fell, his figure darted forward, soon reaching near Qin Feng, the sharp iron hooks—one aid at Qin Feng’s neck, the other at his abdon.
If Qin Feng had been caught by these two hooks, not only would his head be at risk, but his stomach would be ripped open.
However, just as the man nearly reached him, he exclaid in surprise, retreating even faster while swaying the double hooks rapidly in defense, trying to protect himself with streaks of cold light.
Yet a shadow, like a long spear, was faster and fiercer than his retreating figure and his iron hooks. In a flash, it pierced through his chest, causing severe injury.
“Ah…”
The scar-faced man cried out in pain, falling to the ground, his chest torn open to reveal a fist-sized hole, blood gushing out and quickly staining his clothes.
Despite the severe injury, he was lucky to be alive. Clutching his chest wound, he circulated his spiritual power, trying to stop the bleeding.
“Boss?”
The woman scread, flipping her hand and grabbing a bottle of elixir pills to rush over to him.
“Careful, don’t co over.”
With the scar-faced man’s warning, the woman quickly realized, fiercely slapped the bottom of the urn, and a cloud of black mist billowed out.
Accompanying the mist, a tangle of large centipedes, each a foot or two long, scuttled out and soared through the air, charging toward Qin Feng.
Seeing this, Qin Feng was not frightened but actually laughed.
Then, appearing in his hand was a Swallowing Sky Toad, its mouth wide open and tongue flickering rapidly. Before the hundred or so centipedes even reached him, the Swallowing Sky Toad had already devoured them completely.
“No, my Iron Head Centipedes…”
The woman never imagined her precious poison insects, ticulously raised using the Five Poisons Secret Techniques, would be gobbled up by a small toad in such a short ti.
Usually, a cultivator at the later stages of Qi Refinent, if unprepared, would succumb to her Iron Head Centipedes.
But now, she had been thwarted by a small cultivator in the early stages of Qi Refinent.
“You will pay!”
Her eyes bloodshot, she gazed at Qin Feng and suddenly let out a piercing scream.
The sound was sharp and high-pitched, attacking Qin Feng.
Qin Feng’s expression changed dramatically.
He felt an invisible fluctuation continuously attacking him, causing his eardrums to throb, his head to ache, and his Sea of Consciousness to wobble.
“Ah…”
Unable to bear the pain, he let out a loud shout, trying to interrupt the woman’s scream.
But obviously, that wasn’t effective.
The woman’s scream was clearly a type of sonic spell, and his own cries were not enough to counteract it.
Qin Feng felt his head was about to split, and if things continued this way, he wouldn’t die, but the woman’s screams could still leave him severely injured.
Fortunately, the woman stopped screaming soon after.
It wasn’t that she didn’t want to continue using that spell, but rather that she couldn’t.
Because, just as she was applying all her effort to cast the spell, a ghostly figure like a spear pierced through her brow, destroying her Sea of Consciousness and Divine Soul.
The Swallowing Sky Toad made its move…er, stuck out its tongue.
The mont Qin Feng sensed the danger, he had the Swallowing Sky Toad strike and kill the enemy.
This woman, who was at the fifth layer of Qi Refinent, was originally no match for the Swallowing Sky Toad. Pained by the loss of her carefully raised Poison Insects, and unsettled in spirit, she was fully occupied with casting her sonic spell and couldn’t dodge in ti, thus she was directly killed by the Swallowing Sky Toad in one strike.
The gaunt man behind Qin Feng was so shocked to see this that his hands flashed coldly, and the Willow Leaf Saber was thrust straight towards Qin Feng’s back.
He himself, however, flickered through several movents, lightly jumped, and was already flying up the wall, abandoning the Willow Leaf Saber and planning to escape.
But before that flash of cold light reached Qin Feng, the Swallowing Sky Toad suddenly leapt from Qin Feng’s hands and instantly positioned itself behind him.
It emitted a murky glow from its small body, forming a spell barrier that directly blocked the Willow Leaf Saber. Then, opening its mouth wide, its long tongue shot out like an arrow, piercing through the gaunt man’s heart from several ters away, killing him on the spot.
Qin Feng turned around, his face deathly pale.
He had been shaken by the woman’s scream, causing instability in his Sea of Consciousness and damage to his Divine Sense. Although the injuries were not severe, it would still take him a few days to fully recover.
However, as long as he rested quietly for the next few days and didn’t arbitrarily use his Divine Sense, there shouldn’t be any serious consequences.
Shaking his still aching head, he first picked up the Willow Leaf Saber that the Swallowing Sky Toad had blocked. Then, he walked over to the gaunt man, retrieved not only his own Storage Bag but also took the other party’s Storage Bag.
Then, he finally turned his attention to the scar-faced man who had first been severely injured by the Swallowing Sky Toad.
The man gave a bitter smile, putting down the Spirit Pill he had just taken out.
He knew that this youth was certainly not going to spare him.
Since his death was certain, there was no need to take the Spirit Pill any longer.
Qin Feng looked at the man’s face full of bitterness, but he didn’t show the slightest rcy.
Since these people had chosen this thod to obtain Cultivation Resources, they had to be prepared for the possibility of being killed in retaliation.
Moreover, judging by their appearance, this clearly wasn’t their first ti doing this. There was even less reason to show rcy to such repeat offenders.
These people were by no ans good, and to montarily show compassion by sparing them would potentially lead to more lives being endangered by these individuals.
This ti, he didn’t use the Swallowing Sky Toad. Instead, he personally molded a spell and summoned a tiger-shaped apparition.
Under his spell, the apparition slowly condensed into a Wind Blade and sliced towards the head of the scar-faced cultivator.
The man had already prepared to be killed by Qin Feng, but seeing the slow pace of the youth’s spell-casting, he couldn’t help but curse silently, thinking that the youth was deliberately slowing down to instill fear and tornt him.
However, he didn’t know that Qin Feng’s spell abilities were not very sophisticated. If he had directly summoned the tiger-shaped apparition, although it could have killed the powerless scar-faced man, the scattered power may have resulted in a more bloody scene.
Thus, he laboriously compressed the tiger-shaped Wind Blade and directly severed the opponent’s head.

People should not wonder at the gap of years, for it’s better than the many long separations in the human world.
Today is Qixi, wishing all couples separated by distance a swift reunion!
