Chapter Eighty-Three: The Linked Rings Trick

  "It's quite like, isn't it!" Hu Xiaoyue giggled and with a flick of her icy spider silk, instantly pulled off the face mask of a slender person, revealing a beautiful face with long black hair cascading down like a waterfall. It turned out that this person was actually a woman dressed as a man, disguised as a warrior, and after revealing her true appearance, she was a beautiful maiden.

  "Hei Feng. Haha, I didn't expect Hei Feng to be a sentimental person, what a pity! One is a brother, one is a good friend, both are going to die here." Guo Fei said with a smile.

  "You dare touch a single hair on them, I swear I'll kill you!" Hei Feng's face turned iron-green as he roared.

  "Hei Feng, I'm not afraid of threats." Guo Fei said coldly.

  "Hiss!" Hu Xiaoyue floated over to the woman's side, her palm waving, instantly tearing open her leather armor, revealing skin as smooth as congealed fat. She then searched the woman's body, pulling out two animal hide pouches from her pockets and handing them over to Guo Fei.

  "Haha!" Guo Fei opened it and was delighted, his eyebrows rising in a smile. The two bags contained at least several dozen talismans, and incredibly, they were all on this woman's body. It seemed that Heifeng thought very highly of her.

  "Let them go, I'll give you all my possessions, from now on the Black Wind Demon Hunting Team will never be your enemy again. My word is my bond." Black Wind's face was ashen, and he spoke in a low tone. One was his own flesh and blood brother, the other was his beloved, his heart softened.

  "Hehe. Hei Feng big brother, thinking this way is correct." Guo Fei nodded and hooked his thumb at him.

  Hei Feng quickly threw over the two bags on his body, and Guo Fei let Da Ge Zi Shi Bing pick them up. Guo Fei opened one to take a look, one of which contained ten pieces of Ling Stone, and the other contained one hundred gold coins.

  Guo Fei's face turned gloomy, and he shouted angrily: "Heifeng, you're deceiving me! You bought a military formation technique with 700,000 spirit stones, and this is all the wealth you have? Don't you want them to live?"

  Along with Guo Fei's words, the two corpse soldiers instantly lifted the two up, their hands around their necks tightening, and the big man and the knight corpse soldier also raised their long guns, ready to fight to the death.

  "Little brother, you misunderstood. The wealth is in Hu Yan's hands. His sister married the Duke of Zhao Guo, An Guo Gong, and was deeply favored by him, so his status is very high. We have been relying on the Duke for a short time, but they don't trust us. This time we came to carry out the task, naturally with him as the main one. Although his cultivation is not much different from mine, when it comes to real fighting, I am not his opponent. Because he was originally a demon cultivator and cultivated extremely overbearing fire element yuanqi, being cunning and cautious, even I don't know where his wealth is hidden."

  Guo Fei looked at Heifeng, seemingly he didn't appear to be lying, and suddenly smiled slightly: "It seems I misunderstood you, presumably you have a way to contact him, lure him over, rob him, what a huge fortune! When the time comes, I'll let them go."

  "Alright! After helping you complete this matter, we will have nothing to do with each other." Hei Feng's eyes rolled, and he said in a low voice.

  "Hmm, as long as you keep your promise, I, Guo Fei, will naturally keep mine too."

  "Alright, I'll go find him right away!"

  "No, you just left like that, I'm afraid it's not me who robbed him, but you guys are trying to scheme against me." Guo Fei said coldly.

  "My brother and wife are in your hands, yet you still don't feel at ease. What exactly do you want?" Hei Feng said in a low voice.

  "If you're honest, I've died countless times already. I have a technique that can detect whether you have any intention of betraying me. As long as you don't resist, let me use this method and I'll believe you." Guo Fei said with a faint smile.

  "You are a necromancer, I won't believe you!" Hei Feng hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice.

  "Since that's the case, let's part ways here. Say goodbye to your girlfriend and brother for me. I'll see them off." Guo Fei said calmly.

  "Big brother, save me. How can you agree with mother and say that you will take care of me if you can't even watch over me?" The short man cried out loudly. Guo Fei was taken aback upon hearing this, the fact that this short man and Hei Feng, this big lummox, were actually biological brothers was truly astonishing, their physical differences were so great, yet they came from the same womb.

  "Hei Feng, you go quickly, don't mind us!" The woman's face showed a resolute expression, and she said in a low voice.

  "Alright, I'll do as you say!" Hei Feng stared intently at the woman's face, pondered for a moment, nodded with an ashen face, and closed his eyes in resignation.

  "What a sentimental guy!" Guo Fei smiled slightly, his palm facing upwards, and a black mist shot out, quickly entering Heifeng's brow. Seeing that Heifeng didn't resist or use his yuanqi to defend himself, Guo Fei paused for a moment before revealing a cunning smile.

  "Alright!" Guo Fei said with a smile.

  "You must keep your promise! After it's done, help me lift this curse." Hei Feng said in a low voice.

  "Of course, if you bring Hu Yan and the others here and help me kill them, I will keep my promise."

  "Alright. It's settled!"

  Hei Feng finished speaking and was about to rush down the mountain, but Guo Fei quickly waved his hand and said: "Wait, you can't go, I'm not at ease. Let your brother go!"

  "No way, he's too timid and weak, I'm afraid he'll run away with his tail between his legs." Hei Feng said in a low voice.

  "Oh, there she is!" Guo Fei pointed at the woman and said.

  "Alright!" A faint, imperceptible smile appeared on Heifeng's face as he nodded after a moment of contemplation.

  "Go!" Guo Fei nodded at the corpse soldier, and the corpse soldier immediately released the woman. The woman bowed her head to put on her helmet and slowly walked towards Heifeng.

  "Master!" Hu Xiaoyue tried to speak but stopped herself, warning loudly instead.

  Guo Fei waved his hand to stop her from speaking, and turned to Heifeng: "Later we'll besiege Hu Yan, we need to prepare carefully, Big Brother Heifeng will have to exert great effort too. Your cultivation is the highest here."

  Guo Fei finished speaking and took out the talismans from the two bags one by one to identify their owners, checked their uses, and kept them for use against Hu Yan.

  "Haha! Bullshit techniques, trying to see if others have a treacherous heart, don't deceive me, I know you're just pretending, there's no such technique at all." Hei Feng pulled the woman into his arms and turned to face Guo Fei with a big laugh.

  "Aren't you afraid I'll kill your own brother!" Guo Fei's face sank as he said.

  "It's better to kill him, this useless egg. If it weren't for my mother's last words telling me to take care of him, I would have gotten rid of him long ago. He's always causing trouble, and I'm tired of wiping his butt every day. I don't want to deal with him anymore, so go ahead and kill him, that suits me just fine." Black Wind said fiercely.

  "Big brother!" The dwarf's face changed drastically and he suddenly went limp.

  "You won't leave Blackrock Highlands alive!" Hei Feng's face sank, his large sword swung out, and he slowly backed away with the woman in tow. Though it seemed slow, they retreated over a dozen meters in an instant, their movements incredibly swift.

  "Hei Feng, you're too confident! Haha." Guo Fei smiled faintly and waved his hand.

  "Ah!" Hei Feng suddenly fell to the ground, letting out a beast-like roar. The pain came from deep within his soul, like an awl drilling into his spirit. His voice was so mournful that it sent chills down people's spines. Tears and snot flowed freely as he clutched the woman in his arms tightly, frightening her badly. Hei Feng banged his head against the ground, unable to bear the pain.

  "Heh heh. Even Yang Zhi couldn't take it, how can you? Guo Fei secretly rejoiced in his heart, this Soul Devouring Fruit was indeed effective, but it could only be used when the opponent didn't resist, once the opponent used true energy or yuan energy to protect their head, or had a Taiyang artifact on them, the soul couldn't enter, this was its weakness."

  But once it invades the soul, it is as difficult to remove as a maggot from the heel.

  "Sir, please spare him, spare him!" The woman suddenly knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to Guo Fei.

  Guo Fei raised his hand, and the Black Wind's pain suddenly disappeared. "Black Wind, it was you who didn't keep your promise earlier, but I, Young Master, can still be fair to you. You broke your own vow, so you have only yourself to blame. If you listen from now on, I can reduce some of your suffering. But if you don't listen, I'll make sure you can neither live nor die."

  "You must keep your promise, I'll help you kill Hu Yan and plunder their wealth, all of it will be yours. But after this is done, you have to let us go and lift this spell, otherwise I'd rather die!" Black Wind's great sword was placed horizontally in front of his own neck.

  Guo Fei nodded and said: "As you wish, as long as you help me obtain the Six Ding Six Jia Phantom Kill Array ultimate technique, I will do as you say!"

  "Alright. Thanks for your hard work!" Hei Feng nodded at the woman, who wiped away her tears and rushed down the mountain.
