The air froze as the group exchanged glances, the ragged gasps of the newcomer cutting through the tension.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwQBVD821c
"Who the hell are you?" Lu Feng broke the silence, his lips twitching. "You look like a spy sent by Old Wang next door."
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQNcK3GOca
The man waved frantically, terror etched on his face. "No time! Run! The Bloodfiend Sect—they’re coming! They’ve gone mad!"
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84eg8LvyIw
*Bloodfiend Sect.*
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVa2bfXhj8a
Lu Feng’s pupils constricted. Memories of black-clad assassins flooded back. No wonder this face felt familiar—they’d crossed paths before.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYulCnDHlA
"You’re one of *them*?" Tuck rumbled, his greatsword twitching as if eager to cleave the man in two.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoADM1dvvP
The stranger shook his head desperately. "No! I *was*—but I defected! They’re monsters, slaughtering without blinking!"
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gJZ55f45q
"Defected?" Lu Feng’s frown deepened. Enemy turncoats with sob stories weren’t exactly rare these days.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBivVg6JyJ
Ayla tugged Lu Feng’s sleeve. "Be careful. This could be a trap."
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dt6fggbdH
Lu Feng nodded, studying the man’s face. All he saw was raw fear and sincerity.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWP0jyVDE8t
"Name. Reason for betraying them. Why come to us?" Lu Feng’s tone sharpened.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGT2VZwrIg
The man inhaled deeply. "Ares. I couldn’t stomach their cruelty—killing innocents, sacrificing villages. I heard you’re fighting them. I want in."
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiy2bwXE6oL
Silence hung heavy.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkYjdfGh2c
Lu Feng’s mind raced. Trusting a former enemy was risky, but they desperately needed intel. *Fortune favors the bold.*
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OiwAhwF6c
"Prove it," Lu Feng said coldly. "What’s the Bloodfiend Sect planning? Why target me? What’s Grunn’s role?"
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXO8Mg1n2lD
Ares spilled everything: The Bloodfiend Sect’s ancient roots, Grunn as their pawn in the mortal realm, their obsession with Lu Feng’s mysterious power. "They’re opening portals between realms to plunder resources. Their endgame? World domination."
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVi7rSC60MW
The weight of the revelation pressed down. What Lu Feng had assumed was personal targeting turned out to be apocalyptic ambition.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHtlSmyuFL
"We stop them," Lu Feng declared. "Ares—ideas?"
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15OesauJPU
"Their supply depot near Dusk Citadel," Ares said urgently. "Destroy it, cripple their forces. I know the location."
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsSTLDCvgv
The plan unfolded rapidly. Raphael mapped strategies while Ayla reinforced moonlit barriers. Under the Shadowfang Cat’s invisibility cloak, the strike team infiltrated the fortress-like depot—a maze of traps guarded by hulking brutes.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36m83Igpv0
Ares guided them through secret paths, his knowledge precise. They reached the central courtyard where crates of cursed weapons gleamed under torchlight.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYdoSBwfmh
"Now," Lu Feng whispered.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJcEBLVPjK
Chaos erupted. Tuck charged like a berserker, greatsword cleaving through armor. Ares’ arrows found throats and eyes with lethal precision. Lu Feng danced through enemies, blade flashing.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAerKE1jFM
They’d cleared half the courtyard when the air turned frigid. A black-robed elder materialized, eyes burning with malice. "Insects dare challenge the Bloodfiend Sect?"
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDgYXM3sqt
The elder’s dark energy lashed out, coiling around Lu Feng like living chains. Just as death descended, Ares threw himself in the path—taking the blow meant for Lu Feng.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRg78Z2b10
"Ares!" Lu Feng caught the falling archer, blood staining his hands.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBIXtDQ6C9
"Go…" Ares choked. "He’s…a Bloodfiend Elder…"
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09V7SlOKQn
"Not without you!" Lu Feng roared.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43DyFBk7uW
The battle turned desperate. Even with Ayla’s moonlight weakening the elder’s power, the trio barely held ground. When all seemed lost, Ayla unleashed a blinding lunar burst—the elder staggered, defenses crumbling.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzoGZtLD9d
Lu Feng’s final thrust pierced the elder’s heart. "We…won’t…be…last…" the elder gurgled before collapsing.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIkv1AVS59
Panting, Lu Feng retrieved the elder’s spatial ring. "We live to fight another—"
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gDQeFb6rx
A dagger hissed through the air. Ayla tackled Lu Feng as a black-clad figure materialized. "The Bloodfiend Sect never forgets!" The assassin crushed a smoke pellet, vanishing into shadows.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbwVUV1kVS
"Damn it!" Lu Feng slammed his fist into dirt.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Us00iW8eQ
Ares coughed weakly, pointing northwest. "Misty Forest…unicorn tribe…next target…three days…"
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zx6B0UcvZ
The pieces clicked. Saving the unicorns could turn the tide—and forge a powerful alliance.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbe4hQUErV
"Rest," Lu Feng ordered. "We move at dawn."
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybkPAeDXwF
As camp settled, a frost-tinged voice cut through the night: "Their schemes are filthier than you imagine."
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRc4D71wRJS
A lean figure emerged—bow across back, eyes glacial. "Name’s Ares. Former Bloodfiend hunter. They took…everything." His voice cracked recounting his family’s sacrifice.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUA33wPPLv
When he revealed the unicorn tribe’s peril, Ayla paled. The mystical creatures were her people’s ancient allies.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxShOKmqRO5
"Prove your worth," Lu Feng demanded.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIIFhoNwf3
Ares tossed a black token reeking of blood magic—genuine Bloodfiend insignia. "They harvest unicorn spirits for blood puppets. Stop them, or the forest dies."
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8Dmh2JTrf
Lu Feng’s grin turned feral. A turncoat with insider knowledge? This changed everything.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdohahK9i6
"Welcome to Dusk Citadel," Lu Feng clasped Ares’ arm. "Let’s give the Bloodfiends a *hell* of a surprise."
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIm7nwQcqZc
The Shadowfang Cat purred agreement, tail flicking like a war banner. Somewhere in the Third Realm, destiny shifted its gaze—and smiled.
