Chapter 862: Immortals At War

"You ruined my plans!"

"You ruined my plans!"

Yi Feng cursed as he ran.

Of course.

The reason Yi Feng had abducted this woman was because she had revealed her identity as a member of the Jie Sect.

Although Yi Feng wasn't very familiar with the Jie Sect, he had heard of it.

It was a sect that had broken through barriers to establish itself in the Nine Realms.

In short, Yi Feng thought it was impressive.

And this woman's identity was no ordinary one. By abducting her, he figured the Hong Sect would send a large number of experts to kill him.

Hahaha...

Yi Feng was overjoyed. He really was a clever one.

The unconscious woman draped in light gauze, slung over his shoulder, would never have imagined that her attempt to use the Jie Sect's name to intimidate and drive Yi Feng away had backfired, leading to her abduction.

The convoy.

The moment the woman in gauze was abducted, the entire convoy was stunned.

Especially the leader, whose eyes nearly popped out of his head.

The young lady, the young lady had been abducted right in front of him, in broad daylight?

He couldn't wrap his head around how the young man in white had managed to do it.

Nor could he understand why the young lady hadn't resisted.

Someone as strong as her, how could she be abducted like this?

But he knew now wasn't the time to dwell on it. He took to the air with his men and chased after Yi Feng.

Before long, the convoy leader and his men caught up with Yi Feng.

"Kid, put down our young lady at once!"

The convoy leader pointed his sword at Yi Feng, his voice icy.

"What if I don't? This girl is mine now."

Yi Feng, with the woman slung over his shoulder, slapped her buttocks, the sound echoing loudly, both to provoke and to repay the woman for saving his life.

"You... you..."

Seeing Yi Feng desecrate his young lady, the convoy leader was so angry his mouth twisted. His sword trembled, and with a sweeping motion, he thrust it towards Yi Feng, carrying a terrifying and destructive aura.

"Here it comes."

Yi Feng subtly raised his chest, exposing his vital points.

This strike seemed even more formidable than the last; he was surely done for.

It was worth the effort, slowing down after abducting the woman to wait for him.

In the blink of an eye, the sword struck Yi Feng's heart.

Just as Yi Feng thought he was about to transcend...

"Crack!"

The sword bent and then broke in two, and the convoy leader was sent flying.

Yi Feng was dumbfounded once again.

His face twitched uncontrollably, his expression a mix of shock and disbelief.

Damn it.

He had finally managed to provoke them enough, only to find out this guy was so weak.

All bark and no bite.

The force of the strike seemed no stronger than Old Man Wang's.

What a waste of effort!

Cursing under his breath, Yi Feng's face darkened. He had no more patience to waste time with these people. Under the terrified gazes of the onlookers, he hoisted the woman in gauze onto his back and prepared to leave.

At least he still had this woman.

She should be able to attract more powerful figures from the Hong Sect, like elders or even the sect leader.

After all, this convoy leader was just a guard.

"I'll be waiting for your Hong Sect to come and rescue her. The sooner you find me, the better. If you don't come, I'll come and destroy your Hong Sect."

Before leaving, Yi Feng, sitting on his mount, made sure to provoke them further, just in case he hadn't done enough.

With that, he soared into the sky and disappeared.

The convoy leader struggled to his feet, his eyes fixed on the direction Yi Feng had left. A closer look would reveal a deep-seated fear in the corners of his eyes.

He couldn't comprehend how, without using any cultivation, Yi Feng had not only withstood his sword strike unscathed but had also inflicted severe backlash on him, the attacker.

"Why? Could it be that the young lady's identity was exposed?"

"Or is this related to the struggle among the saints?"

"Or perhaps an old enemy from the Heavenly Domain?"

Luo Chen's hands were still trembling, his face grave. He clutched the remaining hilt of his sword tightly, exchanging a glance with the young lady's personal maid. The two then took to the air and left.

However, they didn't head in the direction Yi Feng had gone but in another direction instead.

Clearly.

They were going to seek reinforcements, as chasing after Yi Feng now would be futile.

After they left, the remaining members of the convoy stood around, wide-eyed and filled with fear, unsure of what to do.

Unlike the leader and the maid, they were genuine members of the Hong Sect, just there to make up the numbers.

Fortunately, they still had a leader among them, a traveling elder from the Hong Sect.

"Elder, what should we do?"

Everyone turned to him.

"What should we do? Hurry back to the sect and report to the sect leader..."

The elder's voice cracked with urgency, his legs trembling violently, the fear in his eyes lingering.

The sword duel he had just witnessed was like a battle between immortals.

Not to mention the mysterious man in white who had withstood a sword strike and abducted the woman, even Luo Chen's sword strike was something he couldn't withstand, not even a fraction of it.

And he hadn't forgotten the words the mysterious man in white had shouted before leaving.

He said he was waiting for the Hong Sect to come and rescue her, and if they didn't, he would come and destroy the Hong Sect.

Heavens.

What kind of calamity is this?

You immortals fight your own battles, why drag our Hong Sect into it!
