Chapter 460: Chapter 168: Entering the Lion’s Den Alone – Shi Feiyang Faces the Perils of Shi Ying’s Hongmen Banquet (Part 3)

Just as Shi Feiyang let out a sigh of relief, a chilling sensation suddenly swept up his spine. Turned out, Shi Ying, using the spectral ”Ghost Shadow Step,” had silently appeared behind him, her Cold Soul Sword glimmering with a cold glow, thrusting fiercely towards his back.

Shi Feiyang swiftly turned around, the Bright Jade Technique within him operating at high speed, his Celestial Frost Blade swinging with tremendous force.

With a loud ”clang,” the Celestial Frost Blade collided with the Cold Soul Sword, sparks flying, the powerful impact numbing Shi Ying’s arm.

How could Shi Feiyang miss such an opportunity? He suddenly reached out, employing the Divine Dragon Claw Divine Technique. Instantly, his hand was enveloped in a golden light, and as his arm swung, a fierce whistling sound arose, like a roaring divine dragon extending its sharp claws.

This grip was incredibly precise, firmly grasping Shi Ying’s Cold Soul Sword.

Shi Ying only felt a powerful force transmitted from the sword, trying to struggle but couldn’t move.

Immediately afterward, a crisp ”crack” sounded as Shi Feiyang exerted force with his five fingers, crushing the Cold Soul Sword into fragments.

Seeing this, a shimmer of fear flashed in Shi Ying’s beautiful eyes.

She knew she’d encountered a formidable opponent today and dared not linger in battle.

With a twist of her delicate body, she floated away like a cloud scattered by the wind.

Her toes lightly touched the snow-covered ground, her figure ghost-like as she weaved through the forest, disappearing within a few moments into the vast snowy woods.

Shi Feiyang watched the direction Shi Ying had left, his brow furrowed, pondering silently in his heart: ”What is the origin of this demoness? Her martial arts are so strange, it seems the road ahead will only get tougher.”

At this moment, Wu Zhong, Miao Menlong, Shan Zhi, Xie Wen, Xiang Kun, and others quickly gathered around.

Wu Zhong, looking anxious, clasped his fists and said, ”Grand Squad Leader, the demoness ran away, what should we do?” Miao Menlong, with a sharp gaze, stared into the depths of the snowy forest, saying, ”This woman’s martial arts are very sinister, we must not take her lightly.”

Shan Zhi softly stroked the plum flower dart in his hand, snorting coldly, ”What is there to fear? Our Grand Squad Leader is highly skilled in martial arts, surely he can handle her?” Xie Wen frowned, analyzing, ”This demoness’ origins are unclear and she’s elusive; we need to consider this carefully and not act rashly.”

Xiang Kun, after pondering for a moment, slowly said, ”I think we need to locate Miss Bai Zhi as soon as possible and investigate this demoness’ background, so we can be prepared.”

Shi Feiyang listened to everyone’s words, nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice, ”What you all say is very true. The priority now is to find Bai Zhi with all our strength. As for this demoness, I will surely bring her to justice and rid the Jianghu of evil.”

In the harsh winter season, the Bozhou land seemed tightly wrapped in a layer of icy armor, the piercing cold wind like a fierce beast rampaging across the vast terrain, emitting sharp howling sounds.

The sky was dark and gloomy, with thick clouds pressing overhead like lead blocks, making it hard for one to breathe.

Everything on the ground was covered in cold frost; the branches of the trees became fragile and shivered in the cold wind, producing creaking sounds.

Seeing that a direct confrontation with Shi Feiyang held no chance of victory, Shi Ying’s heart churned like a dark tide, calculating rapidly.

She knew well that a forceful attack would not suffice, only through cunning could she achieve an unexpected victory.

After some thought, a sinister plan quietly took shape in her mind.

She decided to leverage the reputation of Fei Wenxing, the respected Sect Leader of the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss Sect in Bozhou Martial Arts.

Fei Wenxing was renowned in the martial arts world, with a wide network; if she could manipulate him, he would surely lead Shi Feiyang into a trap.

In secret, Shi Ying found Fei Wenxing, coercing and enticing him, exerting both pressure and temptation. In the end, Fei Wenxing, intimidated by the power of the Celestial Demon Sect, reluctantly agreed to intervene.

Thus, Shi Ying meticulously planned a seemingly ordinary yet intricately plotted Divine Descent Banquet.

Fei Wenxing, under the guise of resolving Jianghu disputes, extended a sincere invitation to the Heroic Sakura Association, setting the location in the mysterious and perilous Red Water Poisonous Miasma Forest.

As soon as the news spread, it caused a stir in Bozhou Martial Arts. Many sect leaders and their disciples responded enthusiastically, eager to meet Shi Feiyang, the renowned hero and Grand Squad Leader of the Heroic Sakura Association, at the banquet.

On the day of the banquet, the Red Water Poisonous Miasma Forest seemed shrouded in an evil haze. The poisonous miasma lingered, the mist so thick it seemed tangible, like a massive, heavy gray curtain, thoroughly covering the entire mountain forest, blocking out the sky.

A nauseating smell permeated the forest, the scent of decay mingling with moist vapor, making each breath feel as if it corroded the lungs with a stinging pain.

Occasionally, the eerie cries of unknown birds echoed through the silent forest, adding to the sinister and terrifying atmosphere.

Inside the banquet hall, tables were laden with delicious wines and dishes, exuding enticing aromas.

Dancers in splendid attire moved gracefully, their dance elegant and captivating.

Many sect leaders from Bozhou Martial Arts came with their disciples to the banquet, filled with excitement and admiration.

The moment Shi Feiyang stepped into the hall, all eyes were instantaneously drawn to him.

Shi Feiyang stood tall, exuding an aura of majesty, every movement embodying the demeanor of a great hero.

An elderly sect leader with white hair couldn’t help but exclaim, ”At last, today I get to meet Hero Shi. Indeed, his reputation precedes him; achieving such feats at a young age is truly a blessing for the martial world!”

Beside him, a young disciple, blushing with excitement and eyes glowing with admiration, whispered to a companion, ”Being able to witness the Grand Squad Leader in person is a once-in-a-lifetime honor. Henceforth, I will take him as my role model and uphold justice and righteousness!”
