Chapter 175
Xiao Hongyi did not want to see Lin Feng because she had always known that if she did, she would be unable to restrain the murderous intent in her heart.
She was also aware that Lin Feng’s aura as the ‘Son of Destiny’ was very strong. If she acted against him directly, it would inevitably bring insurmountable enemies upon herself and Jiang Chen.
That’s why she chose to have Zhang Hu help her with the poisoning.
But at this moment, she saw Lin Feng.
The plot of nine lifetimes. Jiang Chen died at Lin Feng’s hands time and time again.
Because Lin Feng was the Son of Destiny, and Jiang Chen was just a stepping stone prepared by the heavens for him, Jiang Chen suffered a millennium of misunderstandings over nine cycles of reincarnation.
Throughout those nine cycles, Xiao Hongyi had been in despair over her own powerlessness.
When Jiang Chen died, she could only watch.
When Jiang Chen was misunderstood, she could only blame herself and others.
But now, the instigator of all this, Lin Feng, was right in front of her!Xiao Hongyi kept inhaling and exhaling, trying to calm herself down.
But she couldn’t hold back. As soon as she saw that hateful face, she felt a surge of murderous intent rush to her head.
Driven by this intent, her body and soul trembled uncontrollably.
Just as Lin Feng was about to make a run for it, she flashed in front of him and blocked his path.
Seeing Xiao Hongyi almost consumed by her fury, Lin Feng said with a trembling voice, “Master…”
“You beast, dare to call me master? Dare to defile me?!”
Xiao Hongyi interrupted loudly, the malevolence in her beautiful eyes seeming to surge forth.
Without waiting for Lin Feng to speak again, she waved her sleeve.
“Slap—!”
Even though there was no physical contact, Lin Feng felt as if he had been slapped.
Although he had grown accustomed to being slapped repeatedly, the force of this slap was so great that it not only made him spit blood but also sent him flying several zhang away!
“Cough cough!”
After falling to the ground, Lin Feng clutched his chest and coughed violently.
“Old Man Tianji, quickly think of something! This woman is too strong, and she’s a lunatic!” he urgently called out to Old Man Tianji for help.
“There’s nothing I can do…” Old Man Tianji said in despair.
“This woman is an Innate Phoenix Body, and she was consumed by anger! Her strength now far surpasses the Fate Transformation realm of the upper four realms. She’s only a step away from the Divine Passage realm! I wouldn’t be her match even if I possessed your body!”
“That strong?!” Lin Feng was shocked.
He was also confused. When he was undergoing the true inheritance test, Xiao Hongyi had clearly stated that she was a Postnatal Phoenix Body, so how had she become an Innate Phoenix Body now?
“The only thing we can do now is to gamble on destiny, or…” Old Man Tianji continued.
“…or what?”
“Or ask Jiang Chen for help!”
Lin Feng fell silent.
Ask Jiang Chen for help again?
The last time the Martial Emperor wanted to kill him, he had asked Jiang Chen for help. Not only did he end up getting slapped several times, but he also got a hole punched through his abdomen!
Although the wound had healed somewhat, it still ached faintly.
“Gambling on destiny is too risky, and your destiny’s luck might be reduced. Asking Jiang Chen is embarrassing, but you won’t be risking your life!” Old Man Tianji said.
After speaking, he added, “A true man can bend and stretch!”
These words made Lin Feng’s expression even darker.
A true man can bend and stretch?
He was the Son of Destiny, not some trash to be trampled upon!
Back in the Lower Domain, there weren’t many who could make him bend. But ever since he arrived in the Central Domain, it seemed like he had never had a chance to stand tall!
The intense humiliation and unwillingness twisted Lin Feng’s expressions.
Seeing Xiao Hongyi approaching with phoenix fire, he had no choice but to look at Jiang Chen with a plea for help.
“You’re the Son of Destiny, can’t you be of some use?!” Jiang Chen cursed directly.
Lin Feng was at a loss for words, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
Be of some use?
He was probably the most useless Son of Destiny ever, constantly being abused and still incessantly asking for help from a stepping stone!
“Today, no one should help me!”
Lin Feng was furious! He bore the pain and stood up, looking directly at Xiao Hongyi, his voice resounding firmly,
“I am the Son of Destiny! I follow the will of heaven, and whether I live or die is for the heavens to decide!!”
His words once again provoked Xiao Hongyi.
The next second, Xiao Hongyi’s sleeves waved non-stop, and after slapping Lin Feng a few more times, she kicked him, sending him flying and crashing heavily to the ground.
At the same time, Xiao Hongyi leapt in front of Lin Feng.
She moved her fingers in the air, and the spiritual energy around her converged into a visible hand that pried open Lin Feng’s mouth.
She then touched her spirit ring and, from it, poured out poison pills of various grades like a waterfall.
All the poison pills accurately fell into Lin Feng’s mouth, at least a hundred of them.
Whenever Lin Feng’s cheeks were stuffed full of poison pills and could no longer accommodate more, Xiao Hongyi lifted her foot and stepped on Lin Feng’s face.
“Gulp!”
Under the force and impact, Lin Feng was forced to swallow the poison pills continuously, And with each pill that went down, his expression grew more horrified.
“Haha!”
Xiao Hongyi laughed wildly.
Her laughter was manic, her red dress billowing.
Boundless malevolence invaded her mind, and her beautiful eyes turned pitch black, becoming terrifying to behold.
“Screech——”
Suddenly, the cry of the phoenix sounded again.
Dark blood black with a hint of red welled up from her eyes.
The black blood slid down her fair cheeks, dripping continuously onto her clothes, soaking and spreading, blooming like black blood flowers on her red dress.
Gorgeous, yet deadly.
“Phoenix weeping blood?!”
Seeing this, Jiang Chen was startled.
Originally, the blood wept by a phoenix should have been fresh blood, but now it had turned black.
Not only that, but the phoenix fire on Xiao Hongyi’s body also seemed to be turning black.
This was a sign of demonic possession!
A mad demon might still be curable, but if Xiao Hongyi was completely possessed, there would be no turning back!
In fact, Jiang Chen had always intended to save Lin Feng.
However, Xiao Hongyi’s cultivation was too high, and now with her madness intensified, he wasn’t sure if he could stop her, so he had planned to observe for a while longer.
Who would have thought that the situation would deteriorate so quickly?
Xiao Hongyi turned her head, her eyes seeping with black blood, and stared directly at Jiang Chen.
Her head tilted to the side, her face bearing a bizarre smile.
Although it appeared extremely terrifying, the words spoken were…
“My disciple, do not fear. Master will help you kill him, and no one shall harm you.”
Jiang Chen was struck as if by lightning.
Even in madness, even possessed, Xiao Hongyi still wished to protect him.
Despite the nine cycles of reincarnation, this master before him had punished him time and again, but he always knew that this master was truly kind to him…
That’s why, in this life, he still wants to save Xiao Hongyi’s life even if he has given up.
“Master, calm down.”
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Chen slowly stepped forward.
He entered the phoenix fire surrounding Xiao Hongyi while enduring the pain of being burned.
He raised his hand to caress Xiao Hongyi’s cheek, wiping away the black tears.
Then he embraced Xiao Hongyi in his arms.
“Master, calm down. Throughout history, those who have fallen into evil did so because they were too impatient, and that’s why they strayed onto the evil path. You must not make the same mistake!” Jiang Chen whispered.
Hearing this, Xiao Hongyi was startled.
The familiar words and the familiar tone reminded her of the perilous peak, the Red Jade Pavilion.
She was fishing in front of the pavilion, planning to learn before teaching Jiang Chen.
Behind her, Jiang Chen said the same words in a teasing tone.
Blood tears turned into clear tears.
Xiao Hongyi looked up, trying to smile: “Huh, between the two of us, who really is the master…”
