Li Gui and Wu Zun’s expressions changed slightly.
"There’s an aura of Void Things, but it’s not quite like ordinary Void Things."
"Is this also one of Xu Huaqiang’s subordinates? It was not mentioned in the intelligence."
"It’s not clear, but it’s not from the Holy Master Sect. For now, the Holy Master Sect’s mutated forms vary greatly, but all of them feature those green scales. Among the seven major cults in the country, Su City has mainly captured live mutated cultists from the Holy Master Sect... However, traces of another cult have been found, though they are well hidden."
"The Heart Happiness Sect?"
"Yes, they once wreaked havoc on Sun and Moon Island and were annihilated by the Dragon and Tiger Palace, but have recently re-emerged. Whether it’s them or not, we need to be more cautious. Just as we suspected, there are other forces attempting to muddle through and assassinate our geniuses. It seems someone in the Stone Lake police force has leaked the news of the live training to the cult."
"Let’s hope it’s not a betrayal by a Martial Artist, it’s not easy for a nation and its people to raise a Martial Artist... It’s quite a pity if they die."
Li Gui’s tiger-like eyes seemed to flicker with a faint yellow light. His captivating eyes scanned the surroundings, as if he intended to take in all hidden prey around Wind Wave Forest.
The owner of this blood-feathered woman must be watching Wind Wave Forest from the shadows, unfortunately, he had to protect these geniuses and couldn’t leave; otherwise, he would have liked to meet them. To attempt assassination under his nose of the geniuses from Dragon City Martial Arts University, this person was indeed bold.
The blood-feathered woman stopped by Lu Chenzhou showed fierce light in her eyes. Her feet coiled like a bow; with a "bang", she burst out, her straight-line speed far exceeding that of Lu Chenzhou. However, Lu Chenzhou’s agility was even better, his Sea-sweeping Body moving fluidly. He dashed into a nearby rockery, for the Black Tiger Fist did not excel in open areas and couldn’t make full use of close combat techniques, so Lu Chenzhou intended to lure the enemy into his own domain.
Inside the rockery, skinny rocks towered and strange stones sprawled. The sharp edges of the stones would cause any careless person to bleed from the head. The woman’s wings were broad. Seeing Lu Chenzhou enter a rock cave, she retracted her wings and followed in. Her sharp feather blades collided with the protruding boulders, stone chips flew and dust filled the air. As she passed through a fork, suddenly, a fist the size of a sandbag burst through the air.
In a cramped and rugged place, her large size offered no room to dodge. Retracting her wings, she lost her strongest defense and weapon. A crisp sound was heard as Dark Force stabbed into the woman’s right rib, sending her flying sideways, brutally crashing against the sharp rock wall. Unlike the green-scaled mutants, her body was not fully covered with feathers. Her soft waist was pierced, blood flowing freely; with a shrill scream, she spread her feather blades and stabbed wildly into the darkness, her body ricocheting out, slashing around in a disordered frenzy.
When absolute strength is sufficient, neither techniques nor finesse are necessary to form a terrifying attack. The feather blades sliced through the chunks of stone, creating sparks. At this moment, Lu Chenzhou had already dashed out from under the cave of the rockery and lightly climbed onto the roof of the cave.
The moment the feather blade woman showed her head, emerging from the cave, she felt a gust of wind attack her. A shadow charged with a running start. Lu Chenzhou shook violently as if his body were an engine, all organs working together. He drew back his arms, his right hand with Tiger Venerate Heaven Opening Palm aimed at the neck, and his left hand with Tiger Venerate Earth Splitting Palm aimed at the slender waist, unleashing the Dark Force!
Bang! The crisp sound tore through the night!
Struck by a serious blow, the woman flew three meters away onto a white wall, causing a widespread web of cracks to appear on the plaster and dust to scatter. Lu Chenzhou knew these injuries were not enough to kill the woman and didn’t dare to pursue for an extra strike, quickly turning to return to the cave.
Blood-feather woman, devoid of pain, numbly turned around.
Blood and flesh swelled on her body surface, the Beauty Heads within her were frenziedly gnawing at her organs. The tremendous power of humans implanted with the Blood Bodhisattva came at the cost of their vitality. The Blood Bodhisattva, by nature, belonged to Void Things. It was weak in combat; it gained strength by parasitizing a human body, stimulating mutation in flesh and blood. After exhausting a host, the Blood Bodhisattva would leave to find a new host and grow rapidly. A fully mature Blood Bodhisattva could initiate the "Blood Peacock" form, extracting the host’s blood and hardening it into splendid blood feathers covering the limbs, capable of Gold Cutting and Jade Breaking. Below a Martial Artist, a direct hit would result in injury at best or decapitation at worst.
The blood-feathered woman turned and flapped her wings, climbing up the wall and attempting to escape.
But the sound of slicing air came again, and a whip killed forward.

The waist of the woman, previously injured by Lu Chenzhou, was wrapped by the whip.
She spread her blood feathers, stabbing them into the flesh and into the gaps of the whip, using self-mutilation with her iron-like wings to hold the long whip and avoid being cut in half.
Chen Xiaoyun’s face turned red, veins bulging.
The woman, howling, clung to the wall and spun around, her great strength pulling Chen Xiaoyun forward unstoppably, making it difficult to hold her ground. Chen Xiaoyun saw a tree ahead, bursting forth all her strength, planted her feet at the base of the tree, winding the whip around it.
With a snap of the whip and a jolt!
Chen Xiaoyun couldn’t help but grunt, and the woman wasn’t much better off, but by then she had already used her wings to untangle the whip. At this point, knowing she couldn’t run, she focused her gaze on Lu Chenzhou, hiding in a cave waiting for the right moment to strike, murderously overflowing!
Lu Chenzhou inwardly muttered,
"Why do I feel damn thing harbors the strongest killing intent for me? Could it be that she’s picking on the softer target? And those blood feathers on her, they seem familiar..."
Lu Chenzhou remembered the encounter with the Void Things at Haotai Villa, Mrs. Lin had also grown blade-like blood feathers at her ankles, somewhat similar to those of the woman before him.
