Chapter Ninety-Four: The Weapons Arrived
"Now, the most important thing is to find a knife!" Lu Yufeng's long knife had been shattered in the great battle at the ruins, and now Lu Yufeng was still lacking a handy weapon. There was another weapon left in Lu Yufeng's storage ring, but it was just that one blunt dark red short sword he got from the Treasure Pavilion.
Lu Yu Feng had entered a state of high alert from the moment he stepped into the demon forest, and he maintained this intense vigilance at all times. On his way in, Lu Yu Feng had already encountered several groups of people, although they were not very strong, but they were always in groups. Lu Yu Feng found it difficult to make a move, because as soon as he did, the people around him would discover him, and then he would be surrounded, making it hard for him to escape.
"Ah? Someone?" Lu Yufeng felt someone approaching, and with a flash of movement, he disappeared into the spot, hiding in the nearby bushes, completely blending into the environment. Lu Yufeng wasn't afraid of being discovered by these people at all, because he was extremely confident in his natural surroundings.
"Big brother, could it be that this is a false message spread by some madman? Would he dare to do such a thing in these circumstances?" Lu Yufeng heard a voice coming from afar.
Lu Yu Feng was known for his exceptional skills in the ancient ruins, where he fought against the top three sects and even pursued them for a while. Moreover, he cut off one arm of each elite disciple from the Tian Mo Sect, earning him a nickname among the cultivators - "Madman". This coincidentally matched Lu Yu Feng's name, which meant "mad" in Chinese. His actions were indeed mad and unpredictable, without any regard for consequences.
"Hmph! Whether it's true or not, we'll come and take a look. Better to believe it exists, if not, then so be it. But if I were to encounter him, I absolutely won't let him off!" The person called Shixiong said coldly.
"This voice sounds somewhat familiar?" Lu Yufeng heard a voice behind him, which sounded familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before, and slowly parted the bushes in front of him.
"It's really him!" This person was the Fire Lunatic of the Five Elements Sect that Lu Yufeng had let go in the Demon Forest.
"The one who brought the weapons has arrived!" Lu Yufeng saw that Huo Kuang was carrying a fiery red long knife on his back, and at first glance, he knew that the quality was not bad, at least much better than the long knife that Lu Yufeng had broken earlier.
"Big Brother! If you were to encounter a madman, could you defeat him?" Fire Crazy's younger brother asked doubtfully. The matter of Huo Yun in the ancient ruins was already well-known throughout the Five Elements Sect, and everyone knew that it was only because of Madman's mercy that he had been spared his life.
"Hmph! If it weren't for the likes of Wu Kong and others, I would have killed Feng Dian long ago!" Huo Kuang also knew that he had lost face in the sect because of what happened in the ancient ruins, but since he hadn't encountered Feng Dian, he spoke toughly.
"Is that so? I'll give you this chance!" Lu Yufeng heard this and jumped out from the nearby bush, his face already twisted into a madman's visage! Lu Yufeng emerged because there weren't many people around Huo Kuang, only three in total, including Huo Kuang. Moreover, Lu Yufeng had already set his sights on Huo Yun's long knife and couldn't just let them leave like this.
"Madman!" Huo Kuang saw a person jumping out from the bushes on the side, and upon closer inspection, it was indeed the madman that all the major sects had been searching for! He immediately took a step back, drew his long knife, and coldly stared at Lu Yu Feng.
"It's me!" Lu Yufeng said coldly.
"What? Eldest Brother, is he crazy?" The two younger brothers beside Huo Kuang also took a step back, drawing their weapons as they asked their eldest brother.
"Right! He's gone mad! Madman, what are you trying to do?" Huo Kuang looked at his two junior brothers beside him and asked Lu Yu Feng.
"Aren't you going to kill me? I'm giving you the chance now! Let's see how well you can do it!" Lu Yufeng's voice was still very cold.
"Madman! Don't be too arrogant! You should know that the entire Spirit Forest is filled with elites from various sects. If I were to shout loudly, how could you possibly survive?" Huo Kuang threatened, having compared their strengths and finding that he still wasn't a match for Lu Yu Feng, even with his two junior brothers added to the mix. The kick Lu Yu Feng used to kill Wu Yang had left a deep impression on him, and now Huo Kuang didn't have the confidence to take on that same kick either.
"Go ahead and call out! See if anyone around will respond to you!" Lu Yufeng threatened coldly, then slowly took steps towards Huo Kuang.
"Madman! What do you want to do?" Huo Kuang heard Lu Yu Feng say this, and he really didn't dare shout anymore. If he shouted out loud, what if Lu Yu Feng suddenly kicked him, could he escape?
He was really intimidated by Lu Yufeng. He believed that before others arrived, he had already become a pile of minced meat. Originally, Huo Kuang was an elite disciple of the Five Elements Sect and shouldn't be so weak, but the pressure from Lu Yufeng had shattered his confidence, making him unable to muster the courage to face Lu Yufeng.
"I don't want anything else! I just want your long sword!"
So, when a person's confidence is shattered, even the strongest opponent will be unable to withstand a single blow. Huo Kuang is currently in such a state. Upon hearing Lu Yu Feng say that he wants his long sword, Huo Kuang's face turned as red as his hair.
"Preposterous! You've gone too far!" Huo Kuang's face turned red with rage as he bellowed.
"Is your Fire Blade important or is your life important?" Lu Yufeng said, slowly extending his right foot, with a stance that seemed to be on the verge of unleashing a Windy Strike.
"I'll give it to you!" Huo Kuang gritted his teeth, staring fiercely at Lu Yu Feng. He slowly unsheathed his long sword and pinned Lu Yu Feng's body to the ground in front of him. Huo Kuang felt an unprecedented sense of suffocation.
He was actually scared by Lu Yufeng's kick, and as long as he thought about it a bit, he could understand that even if he let Lu Yufeng make that shocking move, Lu Yufeng wouldn't dare to do so. Such a big commotion would inevitably attract the attention of people around him. Lu Yufeng wasn't stupid, and if he really could use it, would he still need to bother with him?
"Then thank you!" Lu Yufeng pulled out his long knife and swung it in his hand, feeling not bad. This was because in the current cultivation world, most of the magical instruments were soulless, otherwise Lu Yufeng would not have been able to snatch it, and might have even been injured by the snatched instrument. Lu Yufeng's eyes suddenly turned cold and harsh as he stared at Huo Yun.
"What do you want to do? The long sword has already been given to you! Can't you just fight to the death?" Huo Kuang also saw Lu Yu Feng's eyes and knew it was bad, so he hastily retreated with his two junior brothers.
"Since you all want to enter the Demon Forest and take my life, then you should be prepared to die at my hands! Besides, it's a matter of who dies and who lives! Do you have the qualifications for that?" Lu Yu Feng now wanted to severely crush Huo Kuang's confidence, leaving an indelible impression on his heart. As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yu Feng raised the long knife he had snatched and fiercely chopped at the three retreating figures.
"Go to hell!" Lu Yufeng's speed was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, he had slashed his long knife in front of the three men. Huo Kuang had no weapon, and his two junior brothers hastily raised their weapons to block Lu Yufeng's long knife attack.
"Boom!" Lu Yufeng's long knife clashed with the two men's weapons, producing a loud metallic collision sound. Then, a burst of air waves spread out, and Huo Kuang, along with his two junior brothers, were sent flying backward by Lu Yufeng's single strike, suffering only minor injuries that were not severe.
Lu Yifeng saw that one move was not enough, so he immediately mounted his horse and left. Lu Yifeng had not expected to be able to kill these three people at this time, because there were too many people around, as long as the three of them held on for a bit, they would have been surrounded and killed.
"Huoyun, this is just a lesson for you, remember, once and twice cannot be three, I have let you off twice, if I meet you again, it will be your death date! Tell those people, my madness has already entered! Hunting game, now begins!" Lu Yufeng left, but still left Huoyun with these words, he just wanted to tell those people that he had already entered, whether he killed them or they killed him, would depend on their own skills.
"Big brother, what should we do?" The two younger brothers of Huo Kuang, seeing that Lu Yu Feng had already left, came up to him and asked.
"He's gotten even stronger!" Huo Kuang looked at Lu Yu Feng's previous attack and found that he was more dangerous than when they were in the ancient ruins.
"What else can we do? Spread the news that Lunatic has arrived! Then, we retreat from the Demon Forest!" Huo Kuang said coldly. This time, he was afraid of losing face completely. His own weapon had been snatched away by Lunatic, and if this got out, it would be a terrible reputation.
"Big brother, are we retreating from the demon forest just like this?" His two junior brothers said with some reluctance, although they couldn't defeat the madman in a fight, but hiding behind and shooting cold arrows was still possible.
"What else can we do? Our fellow disciple from the Golden Sect is also in the Demon Forest, let's leave this madman to them to deal with! We'll wait for news outside the forest. You know, inside the forest, not only are the insane our enemies!" Huo Kuang said meaningfully.
