Chapter 224: Chapter 224 Five-star Martial King

"Ah!" Young Master Wushang let out a pained howl to the heavens, and immediately, bizarre blood-red flames enveloped his body, instantly transforming him into a man ablaze with roaring blood-colored fire. Amidst the flames, Young Master Wushang’s pitiful wails resonated, like that of a pig being slaughtered.

Hong Yue and Little Moli stared blankly at Young Master Wushang, who had suddenly become a man of fire. From the blood-colored flames, they sensed a power that made their hearts palpitate.

Hong Yue suddenly stood up, looking at the dense blood-colored branches and leaves above, and clasping her fists, said, "Thank you, senior, for lending a hand in our rescue!" After speaking, Hong Yue continued to gaze upward, quietly waiting for a response. At that moment, Little Moli also stood up, disregarding the trace of blood at the corner of her mouth, copying Hong Yue’s gesture, raised her head, and clasping her fists, said, "Thank you, senior, for lending a hand in our rescue!"

However, after a while, there was no response throughout the Blood-colored Jungle, except for the gradual weakening of Young Master Wushang’s tragic screams.

"Sister, it seems that the senior who saved us has already left," Little Moli said as she approached Hong Yue.

"Mm! It must be so," Hong Yue replied, nodding to Little Moli.

Such a venerable senior, an existence capable of silently annihilating a Nine-star Martial King like Young Master Wushang, must have just been passing by when he saw Young Master Wushang bullying the two of them and couldn’t stand by without intervening. But such a powerful being probably had no intention of making our acquaintance.

Hong Yue thought to herself, this world is indeed such a place!

Then, Young Master Wushang’s heart-wrenching cries ceased, and the pool of blood-colored flames began to flow rapidly across the ground. Under the astonished eyes of Hong Yue and Little Moli, the blood-colored flame headed toward a mass of flesh, entering and being absorbed by it.

Following that, the women saw that the mass of flesh suddenly flashed with white light... This was the white light of advancement.

Shi Feng, having already killed Lingg Sa and Ding Yu from the Two-star Martial Sect Realm and the One-star Martial Sect respectively, was already on the verge of a breakthrough. Now, having absorbed the Power of Death and the blood of Young Master Wushang, a Nine-star Martial King, he successfully advanced and entered the Five-star Martial Sovereign Realm.

"Sister... the person who saved us... it was him!" Little Moli exclaimed, looking at the mass of flesh.

"Yes, the blood-colored flames were absorbed by him, it must be him," Hong Yue confirmed with a nod.

"Ah, Sister, we can’t just leave him here. He saved us, we need to repay him and take good care of him. Our master taught us, when he was alive, to be grateful and to return favors," Little Moli said.

"Mm! Of course. He saved us, as long as he has a breath left, we must not give up on him," said Hong Yue. As she spoke, she turned to Little Moli and continued, "Junior Sister, give me our Heavenly Cold Healing Sacred Water."

"Mm, okay, Senior Sister," Little Moli did not hesitate. She took out a Jade Bottle from her Storage Ring, which contained the very Heavenly Cold Healing Sacred Water mentioned by Hong Yue.

This Sacred Water, left to them by their master before her passing, had special healing properties and now only a small Jade Bottle remained. Initially, upon seeing the injured Shi Feng, they were reluctant to use it on a stranger met by chance, but the situation was different now. The person before them, severely wounded with flesh torn and face unrecognizable, had helped them escape the clutches of Young Master Wushang.

Thinking back to that scene, considering what would have happened had they not encountered this person, and Young Master Wushang continued to secretly track them, the outcome would have been truly tragic. If defiled by that beast, their lives would have been ruined in this lifetime. That kind of torture would be more unbearable than death itself. Furthermore, the White Bone Sect under Young Master Wushang possessed a secret technique known as the White Bone Manipulation Technique. Once cast, the technique imprints upon one’s bones, manipulating the white bones within the body to obey his commands. When controlled, one’s body would be eternally subject to his manipulation, eternally tormented, with even death held in the beast’s hands.

Unable to bear thinking further about such a tragic ending, akin to being a walking corpse, Hong Yue poured out the Heavenly Cold Healing Sacred Water from her Jade Bottle, applying it to Shi Feng’s mangled body. Afterwards, Little Moli took out some white cloth and began bandaging Shi Feng’s wounded body. Wrapping him round and round, she encased him as tightly as a mummy.

Then Hong Yue grasped the Bloodthirsty Sword in Shi Feng’s hand, but upon touching it, she sensed that it was a Fifth Grade Mystical Weapon. Such a weapon was rare in the entire Heavenly Mist Empire, as not many people owned one. This was because the highest-level refiner in the Heavenly Mist Empire was only a Fifth-stage Alchemist, and the cost of having such a refiner craft a Mystical Weapon was considerable, beyond what ordinary people could afford.

Hong Yue then realized that, with such injuries yet able to kill Young Master Wushang, this person’s identity must also be extraordinary. Nevertheless, since he had saved their lives, Hong Yue naturally did not consider claiming the sword for herself and placed the Bloodthirsty Sword back into Shi Feng’s Storage Ring.

"Senior Sister, this place seems safe. Shall we stay here and take good care of him?" asked Little Moli.

"Mm," nodded Hong Yue. "We were unintentionally drawn here, and never intended to search for Heavenly Earth Strange Treasures. Even if such treasures exist in this world, it’s not our place to compete for them. Let’s just stay here honestly.

If he recovers, we’ll look for a way out of this world together with him. If he doesn’t survive this ordeal, we must also take him out of this world, find out his identity, and return him to his family. It would be our way of repaying him for saving our lives."

"Mm," Little Moli nodded obediently, agreeing with Hong Yue’s words.

In fact, Shi Feng had regained consciousness from the moment they started tending to him. He knew everything, from the moment he met the two women, to them feeding him medicine and giving him water. Although Shi Feng’s eyes were damaged and he couldn’t see, he heard all their conversations.

It was because of the kindness of these two women, strangers who stopped to save and care for him, that he managed to muster the strength to produce a burst of Blood-colored Flame, burning alive that despicable Young Master.

As Shi Feng sensed their souls, he recognized the two women’s essences. They were the same two who had tracked Li Liuxin the very night he was traveling to the Heavenly Mist Empire.
