Chapter 66 - : Counterattack!
Chapter 66: Counterattack!
“It’s right ahead!”
Zhou Feng followed the guidance of Heart-Linking Gu and carefully arrived at the edge of the cliff.
Since he had Nature Affinity and was more careful, the pursuers did not catch up for a while.
The Heart-Linking Gu in his body became more and more agitated as he got closer. It was as if this feeling was urging him to quickly jump down.
“Is this at the bottom of the cliff?”
Zhou Feng endured the discomfort and looked at the bottom of the cliff. He just happened to see a slightly protruding, just enough for a person to land on.
‘There seems to be a cave next to it. Could Jiang Jing be hiding there?’
At that moment, Zhou Feng’s brows twitched crazily. His instincts warned him that there was great danger below.
At the same time, if he didn’t go down, the Heart-Linking Gu in his body might directly explode.
‘I hope Bone Coating is useful!’
Under such circumstances, he could only go down.
Zhou Feng had already made preparations! There was a very high chance that he would fight with Jiang Jing after going down.
Their group had been attacked by the White Bone Temple and the Penta-Ghost Sect.
Jiang Jing probably didn’t feel good either. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have used the Heart-Linking Gu to call for help. He might even have died from his serious injuries.
Who knew what odds he had against a heavily injured Soul Altar cultivator?
Also, would Bone Coating be able to withstand the first wave of the Heart-Linking Gu’s backlash?
After so many days of recuperation, Bone Coating’s bar had already been charged.
This passive skill was able to reduce the damage he suffered for the first time.
According to the description, the backlash from the Heart-Linking Gu in his body should be considered as damage. Then, Bone Coating should be able to resist the first wave of backlash.
As long as he could resist this first backlash, he would have a chance.
Zhou Feng let out a light breath and carefully walked down from the edge of the cliff.
This process was smooth because he used his spiritual power to form tentacles. Hence, walking down the cliff was very easy.
Soon, he landed on the platform and found that there was a small hole beside it.
In the middle of this small hole sat a person. That person was none other than Jiang Jing!
However, Jiang Jing’s current condition didn’t seem too good.
The lower half of his body was gone, looking like a bloody mess.
Zhou Feng could even see a long drag mark. With just a little imagination, he could figure out that Jiang Jing had climbed into this cave.
Besides that, there were a few white bones sticking out of Jiang Jing’s body.
These white bones were crystal clear, and they didn’t look like ordinary white bones at all. Instead, they looked like glass.
There was a cloud of black fog hovering over Jiang Jing’s head, giving off a gloomy and cold feeling.
‘He’s not dead yet!?’
Zhou Feng was a little surprised to see Jiang Jing in such a miserable state.
Even so, Jiang Jing still survived and even used the Heart-Linking Gu to call him here.
“Ha… Haha… The heavens don’t want me to die!”
Jiang Jing, whose consciousness was a little blurry, was instantly energized when he saw Zhou Feng.
He didn’t expect that!
Someone had escaped the White Bone Temple and the Penta-Ghost Sect’s ambush. He had even received the call of the Heart-Linking Gu to come here.
‘Indeed, the heavens do not want me to die!’
As long as he could swallow Zhou Feng and replenish some Blood Qi, he would be able to move.
Jiang Jing’s body was filled with blood. As long as there was a large amount of Blood Qi, he would be able to quickly recover from his injuries.
“You! Come here! Chop off your right hand!”
Jiang Jing did not hold back toward Zhou Feng at all. In his eyes, Zhou Feng was currently his blood bag.
Not to mention, Zhou Feng’s Heart-Linking Gu was in his hands.
Even though the current Jiang Jing was already in dire straits and had even abandoned the Blood Mosquito Gu that he had previously raised in order to get rid of the enemy, a small character like Zhou Feng could pose a threat to him.
Zhou Feng narrowed his eyes slightly and replied with a calm expression, “Alright!”
Then, he slowly walked forward. His calm appearance made Jiang Jing frown.
“Stop! Just stand there and break your Heart Meridian!”
Jiang Jing’s eyes narrowed upon noticing Zhou Feng’s expression.
To avoid any accidents, he had Zhou Feng break his Heart Meridian on the spot.
His tone was full of threat as if he was saying that if Zhou Feng made any strange moves, he would crush the Heart-Linking Gu.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Feng did not stop.
Instead, he used all his strength to stimulate the Demon-Devouring Gu in his body. This should be the first time he took the initiative to interact with the Demon-Devouring Gu in order to help him unleash his strongest attack.
In other times, he might not have done so. But now was a life-and-death point, so he could not relax at all.
“Bastard!”
Seeing that Zhou Feng actually dared to make a move, Jiang Jing immediately crushed the Heart-Linking Gu in his hand.
“It can be blocked!”
Zhou Feng could clearly feel that the newly-formed skeleton layer had really blocked the Heart-Linking Gu’s backlash.
Even so, he could feel a piece of his heart being gnawed. This feeling was truly terrifying.
“Demon-Devouring Battle Art!”
A huge and chaotic wave of spiritual power erupted.
This time, a large amount of Spiritual Qi condensed into a huge hammer and smashed toward Jiang Jing.
“Impossible! Isn’t the Heart-Linking Gu—”
Jiang Jing’s face was filled with disbelief because normally, once the mother Heart-Linking Gu’s died, the child Gu should be the first to suffer a backlash.
No one could withstand this kind of backlash. It was already good enough that he didn’t die instantly.
Surprisingly, Zhou Feng withstood it and even had the ability to attack!?
And! Could anyone tell him why Zhou Feng possessed such terrifying Spiritual Qi!?
This amount was abnormal! It was too much! It was really too much!
Jiang Jing, who no longer had any Spiritual Qi to protect himself, was instantly smashed to the ground.
The upper half of his body, except for his head, was turned into meat paste.
“You… If it weren’t for…”
Traces of regret flashed through Jiang Jing’s eyes.
He regretted it! If he had crushed the Heart-Linking Gu when Zhou Feng entered the cave just now, he wouldn’t have been able to resist.
Perhaps, Zhou Feng wouldn’t have the ability to resist!
Moreover, because he was too confident, it was useless even if he had a trump card.
There was also a diamond talisman in his storage bag, which could create a light shield that could withstand the attack of a Soul Altar cultivator.
This talisman was too expensive, and it was Jiang Jing’s last life-saving item. In his mind, the Heart-Linking Gu should be enough to deal with a piece of trash like Zhou Feng, who was at the 9th Level of Qi Condensation.
There was no need to use the diamond talisman at all. It was precisely because of this trace of arrogance that Jiang Jing’s life came to an abrupt end.
“AH!”
At this time, Zhou Feng finally let out a scream.
The Heart-Linking Gu’s backlash attacked him again.
Perhaps, he didn’t die because of triggering Old Skin numerous times earlier, hence strengthening his physique multiple times.
Zhou Feng immediately found the mother Gu’s corpse and swallowed it, calming the Heart-Linking Gu in his body.
Unfortunately, this did not solve the problem. He had to get the Heart-Linking Gu out of his body.
