Chapter 1744: So That’s How It Is
On the day the blood-red eyes reappear and the blade is drawn from its sheath!
At this moment.
The flames of anger had already filled Chen Feng’s chest, ready to burst out at any time.
Not for any other reason.
Because the fake Daoist had severely crossed his bottom line.
This was absolutely intolerable for him!
"Kill me? Heh, Chen Feng, do you think you can kill me? Let alone me, even the Nine-headed Fiery Wolf and Sword-toothed King Whale that I created are beyond your capability, and you still want to kill me? You’re simply daydreaming!"
The fake Daoist sneered with disdain as he spoke.
"Even if I’m not their opponent, I have risked my life to beat them. Do you know why? Because they threatened Lin Mengyao’s safety. I can tolerate everything else, but as long as Lin Mengyao is in danger, I will not let you get away with it, even if I have to risk my life! They are like this, and you are the same!"
Chen Feng said through gritted teeth, his eyes red with anger.
"Hahaha!"
The fake Daoist laughed disdainfully, then looked at Chen Feng and mocked, "Do you really believe that without me going easy on you, you could have beaten those two?"
"Huh?"
Chen Feng was stunned for a moment, puzzled, "What do you mean?"
"What do I mean?"
The fake Daoist curled his lips in disdain and said, "Do you know why you were able to stand against the Nine-headed Fiery Wolf to a mutual destruction state? That’s because I was secretly helping you. Otherwise, with the strength of the Nine-headed Fiery Wolf, it could have killed you in an instant!"
"As for the Sword-toothed King Whale, do I need to say more? It’s the absolute overlord of the ocean, with incredibly formidable defenses. You should understand in your heart the two times you confronted it, how did you survive and miraculously recover? What do you think that was about?"
"Wasn’t it because I secretly saved you twice? If I hadn’t intervened those two times, you would have been slapped to death by the Sword-toothed King Whale long ago. What talk would there be of beating it?"
Upon hearing these words from the fake Daoist.
Chen Feng was completely taken aback.
He was curious at the time.
Knowing clearly he had taken hits from the Sword-toothed King Whale’s pectoral fins directly, twice consecutively.
Logically speaking, those two encounters should have been lethal without a doubt.
Yet, he miraculously survived, with all his injuries healing instantly.
All this happened without the Tianqi Holy Pearl intervening.
This truly puzzled Chen Feng at the time.
And now, hearing the fake Daoist’s explanation.
Chen Feng finally understood.
So, it was his doing all along.
He indeed had the ability to do so.
But why would he save him, and twice at that?
Thinking of this.
Chen Feng’s face was instantly filled with confusion, quickly turning to the fake Daoist to ask, "Why did you save me?"
"I..."
The fake Daoist paused for a moment, then hurriedly said, "I just wanted to give you a chance, Chen Feng. I genuinely want you to stay and enjoy this world with me. If I were the only invincible god in this world, I would feel very bored. Just consider it a favor from saving you twice; agree to stay with me!"
The fake Daoist suddenly played the emotional card.
This caught Chen Feng somewhat off guard.
Chen Feng furrowed his brows, his skepticism only increasing.
The fake Daoist saving him twice definitely wasn’t as simple as he claimed; there must be another reason.
As for what that reason is, it’s temporarily unknown.
From this, though.
The fake Daoist clearly doesn’t want him dead!
But why doesn’t he want him dead?
Thinking of this.
Chen Feng squinted his eyes, pondering.
"So, Chen Feng, have you considered it? Hurry up and answer me. As long as you’re willing to sign the Dream Agreement with me, I’ll immediately return Lin Mengyao and the other two to you, and whatever you want, I can provide at once!"
The fake Daoist clearly didn’t want to give Chen Feng too much time to think, eagerly pressing for an answer.
Upon hearing these words.
Chen Feng furrowed his brows, increasingly feeling there was something wrong.
After thinking for a moment.
He turned to the fake Daoist and suggested:
"How about this, you first bring out Lin Mengyao and the other two women, let me verify their safety. Can you do that?"
The fake Daoist hesitated for a moment, then nodded and looked at Chen Feng, saying, "Alright, that’s not a problem. I can let you see the three of them, but I hope you won’t play any tricks and betray my last bit of trust in you!"
"Of course!"
Chen Feng nodded.
The fake Daoist, seeing this, squinted his eyes before waving his hand.
A flash of white light followed.
Suddenly, three more figures appeared beside the fake Daoist.
It was Lin Mengyao, Tang Yuxin, and Sun Xiaoli.
However, at this moment, the three women’s faces were ashen, their eyes filled with panic.
It was evident that the series of shocks had far exceeded their psychological endurance.
After all, no matter how you look at it, the three of them were just ordinary high school students.
Having experienced so many bizarre events on the island had already terrified them.
They thought leaving the island meant they were safe.
But then they encountered such events repeatedly.
This truly scared the three women significantly, pushing them to the brink of collapse.
Seeing this, Chen Feng felt a pang of heartache.
He had never seen Lin Mengyao in such a state before.
Truth be told, seeing Lin Mengyao like this truly pained him.
At that moment.
Chen Feng felt as though his heart was being jabbed by a thousand needles simultaneously.
"Yaoyao, are you okay?"
Chen Feng asked urgently, looking at Lin Mengyao.
Upon hearing this.
Lin Mengyao’s whole body trembled uncontrollably; watching Chen Feng, she asked with disbelief on her face, "Chen Feng, is that you?"
"It’s me!"
Chen Feng nodded quickly.
"Chen Feng, save me quickly, I’m really scared!"
Lin Mengyao said, her face pale.
"Yaoyao, don’t be afraid, I’m coming to save you now!"
Seeing Lin Mengyao’s pitiful look, Chen Feng couldn’t care about anything else and rushed toward her.
However.
When he was within less than a meter of Lin Mengyao.
The fake Daoist waved his hand.
Suddenly, a bizarrely strong wind hit Chen Feng.
This wind instantly blew Chen Feng away.
And he flew dozens of meters before heavily crashing to the ground.
"Chen Feng!"
Lin Mengyao’s beautiful eyes widened suddenly, filled with worry.
"I’m fine!"
Chen Feng struggled to stand up, smiling at Lin Mengyao as he said, "Yaoyao, don’t worry, I’m coming to rescue you now!"
Saying that.
Chen Feng pushed his speed to the limit, activating True Qi to defend his whole body, rushing toward Lin Mengyao...
