Chapter 182 Surprise Attack
Chapter 182 Surprise Attack
Night fell over the Blood Fiend Sect, and an unsettling atmosphere permeated the darkness.
Bloodstain led Yun Feiyang and Leng Feng cautiously through various parts of the Blood Fiend Sect, trying to figure out the terrain and situation here.
The Blood Fiend Sect's architectural style is peculiar and eerie, with winding corridors and intricate rooms, resembling a maze.
Bloodstain walked ahead, familiar with every blade of grass and tree here, and occasionally reminded the two to keep their figures hidden.
They passed through heavily guarded courtyards, gloomy basements, and corridors filled with traps.
"This place is truly terrifying."
Leng Feng said in a low voice, his eyes scanning the surroundings warily.
"Yes, but we need to understand the layout here as soon as possible."
Yun Feiyang nodded.
"Bloodstain, where do you think the Blood Fiend Sect Master usually hangs out?"
Bloodstain pondered for a moment, then replied:
"The Blood Fiend Sect Master never reveals his true face, and his whereabouts are extremely secretive. He eats in his own secluded room and always wears a hood when he sleeps. His closest person is the priest Blood Shadow, who is said to be the only person he trusts."
Upon hearing this information, Yun Feiyang and Leng Feng exchanged a glance, and a preliminary plan had already formed in their minds.
“In that case, we can try to subdue Blood Shadow. Leng Feng and Blood Shadow have similar builds, so we can have Leng Feng approach the Blood Fiend Sect Master in his place.”
Yun Feiyang said softly:
"As long as we can find out Blood Shadow's identity, we will have a chance to find the Blood Fiend Sect Master's weakness."
Leng Feng nodded: "I agree. Blood Shadow should be the most important person by the Blood Fiend Sect Master's side. If we can control him, it will be easier to obtain key intelligence."
They continued forward, gradually approaching Blood Shadow's dwelling.
At this moment, the bloodstain stopped and pointed forward:
"The Blood Shadow's residence is just ahead; we must be careful."
Just as they were about to take action, they suddenly heard a light footstep.
The three quickly hid in the shadows, holding their breath and observing what lay ahead.
A figure dressed in a black robe slowly walked over; it was none other than the priest, Blood Shadow.
Blood Shadow seemed to sense something, stopped in his tracks, and looked around.
Knowing he could not delay any longer, Bloodstain stepped out from the shadows and blocked Blood Shadow's path.
"Bloodstain, is something the matter?"
Blood Shadow's voice was cold and deep.
Bloodstain sneered, "I have come to see you on the orders of the sect leader."
Blood Shadow paused slightly, then said coldly:
"Bloodstain, why did you bring outsiders into the Blood Fiend Sect?"
"These people are the brothers from the Blood Talisman. They have something important to tell you."
Bloodstain deliberately delayed, creating an opportunity for Yun Feiyang and Leng Feng.
In the instant that Xueying was distracted, Yun Feiyang and Leng Feng seized the opportunity to flank them from both sides.
Their movements were swift and silent, like ghosts in the night.
Leng Feng moved around to Xue Ying's left side with lightning speed, his hands reaching out like lightning to accurately grab Xue Ying's wrists, twisting his arms backward and forcing him to lose his balance.
At the same time, Yun Feiyang pounced from the right and kicked Xueying in the back of the knee, causing him to kneel down.
Blood Shadow tried to resist, but Leng Feng was already prepared. With his other hand, he quickly struck Blood Shadow's pressure points, rendering him unable to move.
The whole process was swift and rapid; Blood Shadow didn't even have time to utter a shout.
"We just want to use your identity, nothing more."
Yun Feiyang said calmly, his voice carrying an undeniable authority.
Blood Shadow struggled for a few moments, but ultimately gave up resisting:
"What exactly do you want?"
Leng Feng changed into Blood Shadow's black robe and put on a hood.
He imitated Blood Shadow's tone and movements:
"We will try our best not to hurt you, as long as you cooperate."
Blood Shadow remained silent for a moment, then finally nodded.
Leng Feng used the same method he used to deal with Xuehen, giving Xueying a youth-aging pill.
Blood Shadow was also afraid of dying from internal organ and heart failure, so he obediently followed behind Leng Feng.
With everything prepared, Leng Feng took Xue Ying's place and continued forward.
He imitated Xueying's gait and posture, walking alongside Yun Feiyang, who was impersonating Xueying, and it was almost impossible to detect any flaws.
Bloodstains and snow shadows followed closely behind, remaining vigilant.
"What do we do next?" Leng Feng asked in a low voice.
"Proceed according to the original plan for now."
Yun Feiyang replied.
Leng Feng and the others stood before the Blood Fiend Sect Master's gate, their hearts filled with tension and anticipation.
He took a deep breath and gently knocked on the heavy door.
"Sect Master, I have important matters to report."
Leng Feng's voice was calm and firm, as if everything was under control.
A moment later, a deep voice came from inside the door:
"Come in."
Leng Feng pushed open the door and walked into the dimly lit hall.
Yun Feiyang, Xueying, and Xuehen followed closely behind, remaining vigilant.
In the center of the main hall, a figure dressed in a black robe stood quietly; it was none other than the Blood Fiend Sect Master.
"Sect Master, I have something important to report to you."
Leng Feng spoke respectfully, but a hint of cunning lurked in his eyes.
The Blood Fiend Sect Master nodded slightly:
"Tell me, what is it that makes you so serious?"
Leng Feng cleared his throat:
"Sect Master, I know how to break the barrier."
This sentence instantly froze the atmosphere in the hall.
The Blood Fiend Sect Master's gaze sharpened, seemingly both interested and skeptical of the news.
"Oh? What's your method?"
The Blood Fiend Sect Master asked coldly.
Leng Feng felt a chill run down his spine, but remained outwardly calm and composed.
"Please give me a chance, Sect Leader. Before that, I can show you some clues."
After a moment's thought, the Blood Fiend Sect Master finally nodded:
"Alright, come with me."
As the Blood Fiend Sect Master slowly approached, Leng Feng's heart suddenly raced.
This was the most crucial moment in their plan; success or failure hinged on this.
Just as the Blood Fiend Sect Master was only a few steps away from Leng Feng, Leng Feng suddenly pulled out a small packet of powder from his pocket and threw it forcefully at the Blood Fiend Sect Master.
The powder dispersed in the air, emitting a faint smoke—it was the Sujin Softening Powder, which could render people incapacitated.
However, to Leng Feng's surprise, the Blood Fiend Sect Master was already prepared.
He reacted quickly, covering his mouth and nose with one hand and drawing a blood-red fragment from his waist with the other – a fragment of a blood talisman.
Without hesitation, the Blood Fiend Sect Master plunged the blood talisman fragment deep into Leng Feng's abdomen.
Leng Feng suddenly felt a sharp pain and froze on the spot, unable to move.
"You...how could you..."
Leng Feng managed to utter a few words, his eyes filled with shock and regret.
The Blood Fiend Sect Master sneered:
"You think I'm unprepared? Anyone who gets close to me must undergo rigorous vetting. Your scheme, though clever, underestimates my vigilance."
Upon seeing this, Yun Feiyang and Xuehen immediately rushed forward to try to help Leng Feng.
Blood Shadow remained unmoved.
However, dozens of black-clad guards suddenly emerged from around the hall and surrounded them.
"You should all stay here too."
The Blood Fiend Sect Master said coldly, "Now that you've been exposed, don't even think about leaving here alive."
Despite the excruciating pain, Leng Feng used his last ounce of strength to whisper to Yun Feiyang, "Quick...go...don't worry about me..."
Yun Feiyang gritted his teeth, a resolute glint in his eyes:
"We won't abandon you!"
The Blood Fiend Sect Master stepped forward, looked down at Leng Feng lying on the ground, and a cold smile appeared on his lips:
"You better hope you survive, or you'll regret stepping through this door."
The atmosphere inside the hall grew increasingly tense, and a life-or-death struggle was about to unfold.
Yun Feiyang and Xuehen knew that they had to find a way out as soon as possible, otherwise everything would be in dire straits.
