Chapter 262: Not Only Did Black Lotus Not Run Away, She Still Charged Straight at Him
“Li Junior Sister, are you alright?”
While Zuo Qiu was torching Black Lotus Fairy’s corpse, Bai Feng headed over to Li Zhi Yi.
“I-I’m fine, thank you, Senior Brother Bai.”
Li Zhi Yi hurriedly shook her head, clutching a shattered array disk in her hand, instinctively hiding behind her.
She didn’t even know why she did it—maybe she just didn’t want him to see her precious thing all smashed up, yeah?
Bai Feng shook his head with a smile: “No, I should be thanking you. Without you hurting her badly, I’d probably be struggling to handle her myself.”
“I didn’t expect it to be so effective…” Li Zhi Yi rubbed her cheek bashfully. “And it’s also thanks to Senior Sister Zuo providing the idea earlier.”
That was when she’d been treating the demonic energy corruption—suddenly, it hit her: if she could heal the demonic energy, could she go further and just totally wipe out the demonic energy altogether?
So she swapped out the ingredients, enhanced the potency of her medicinal brew, and the very first bottle she threw out was her debut masterpiece—she never expected it to work so well.
“Oh, by the way, your array disk might be broken now, right?” Bai Feng had noticed the fissured array disk in her hand early on, so he pulled a new one from his storage ring and handed it over. “Take this as my thanks—this one isn’t for sale, and it’s a lot better than the one you have.”
“Thi-This is too precious, I can’t take it,” Li Zhi Yi hurried to refuse.
But Bai Feng wasn’t having any of that politeness. He reached into her pocket and slipped the new array disk in himself: “Don’t be shy—if I give you something, just take it.”
“Alright, Junior Sister Li, go back and rest now.”
After dropping off her array disk, Bai Feng waved goodbye to Li Zhi Yi and started to check if the Black Lotus Fairy’s body had been burned into ash.
Li Zhi Yi reached into her pocket for her array disk. After a few seconds of hesitation, she finally mustered her courage and looked up at Bai Feng, intending to apologize for earlier:
“Senior Brother Bai, um… be careful!”
Before she could finish, she saw the burning fox head suddenly emit a streak of black light. It first glared at Zuo Qiu, who was on fire, then changed course and flew straight at Bai Feng. She gasped in fright.
White Feather Mo instantly drew her sword and slashed at the black light. The beam split into two, with a surge of demonic energy being wiped out by the sharp sword Qi. But the black light didn’t stop—she discarded the other half and rapidly headed toward Bai Feng. On the other side, Yun Yue Yao threw her sword directly.
But Bai Feng continued walking steadily, unphased. He kept moving forward, ignoring the incoming black glow.
Suddenly, a few sword lights flashed by, and four long swords floated in front of him. Meanwhile, his vast divine consciousness pressed down toward the black light.
“I… won’t surrender!”
The black glow made a sound, and the demonic energy was eradicated by the Extermination Sword Array. The ‘Black Lotus’ protected by demonic energy was shattered by Bai Feng’s divine sense.
“Is it an incomplete soul fragment?” Bai Feng muttered softly as he watched the ‘corpse’ of the Black Lotus.
That made sense. If it were a complete soul, his current divine sense wouldn’t be able to shake it. And since this surviving remnant of the soul had endured long years, battered by time, its remaining power was nearly exhausted. That’s why he could easily crush it with his divine sense now.
Though with his power, he could even seize and interrogate it for secrets, but he knew little about how to handle immortals, especially since it involved demonic energy. Better to just eliminate it—especially a fragment that had been drained of most of its strength over countless years. Who knows what it still remembers?
After the Black Lotus’s desperate counterattack died out, Bai Feng turned to Li Zhi Yi, who had warned him earlier: “Junior Sister Li, is there anything else?”
Li Zhi Yi hurriedly shook her head: “N-No, that’s all.”
All her courage from moments ago had just been completely snuffed out by that sudden chaos.
Bai Feng didn’t mind. He waved his hand, since the Black Lotus Fairy was now dead, it was time to tidy up the battlefield.
“Master, are you okay?”
Zuo Qiu rushed over anxiously. She’d been extremely careful but still failed to prevent Black Lotus’s d*ath-strike.
“I’m fine. You did well. After all, her soul was that of an immortal’s fragment—if she had no escape options, that’d be strange.” Bai Feng comforted.
He’d long predicted that the Black Lotus Fairy might try to run or something in her final moments—that’s why she didn’t. Instead, she charged him directly in a rage. Maybe she’d gone mad from anger, or perhaps she knew she was done for and just wanted to take him down with her.
At the same time, Bai Feather Mo also walked up to Bai Feng. Her expression wasn’t very cheerful, clearly still bothered she hadn’t stopped the Black Lotus Fairy’s final counterattack.
Seeing this, Bai Feng chuckled and tousled her head: “Alright, enough sulking. It’s not your fault.”
“Mm…”
White Feather Mo responded quietly, but her expression didn’t improve much. She was planning to study demonic energy more deeply—preferably master a few ways to fight it, so she wouldn’t have to worry about this kind of thing again.
Then Bai Feng handed Yun Yue Yao a long sword. She grabbed the scabbard with a grin and casually hugged his arm: “Did I do well?”
“Mm, thanks to you.”
Bai Feng smiled wryly. Even without a celestial sword, the Extermination Sword Array could be activated—though with less power. So he and Yun Yue Yao brainstormed a backup plan. With the sword array protecting them, they’d avoid exposing the celestial sword secrets.
It seemed that the Black Lotus Fairy’s hostility was quite intense—probably linked to Fairy Tian Yan?
Tian Yan was standing amidst the ashes, trying to divine. But because her strength was insufficient, she couldn’t extract useful information about the immortals, even burning through most of her divine power just to analyze a couple of bronze coins she had thrown during the fight.
After all, influencing an immortal—even if just a fragment of her soul—is no trivial matter.
“Sigh—I feel like I haven’t done anything at all…”
Great Son of Tai Chu Pei An, who had just ended the fight, came over. With Black Lotus dead, the demonic fox spirit she’d split off dissolved into nothingness.
He looked at the ashes on the ground and sighed. Thought he was pretty strong, but after this battle, he realized he wasn’t actually that impressive. Was it because he’d been fighting weaker Junior Brothers every day, inflating his ego?
Seriously, how do these people cultivate? Bai Feather Mo, with her Celestial Bone, broke through to Transformation God—no biggie. But how did even an unknown disciple of Tian Yan Holy Land become a Transformation God?
If he himself was a Transformation God, maybe he wouldn’t keep getting knocked around by that fox over and over.
“Senior Brother Pei An, don’t say that. Your every move was crucial,” Bai Feng said with a smile, not being modest. If he hadn’t had Pei An puncture the Black Lotus Fairy’s eye, causing her to lose her mind, things might not have gone so smoothly.
But Pei An shook his head: “No, I was pretty proud of my strength before. When I go back, I’ll close myself off and cultivate. Once I reach Transformation God—then I’ll break my seal and we’ll fight again!”
“…I’m a Formations Master. Do you want to fight my array?”
