Chapter 29: I Did Not Dodge
Duan Yanqing, a core member of the Xixia Yipintang, carried the antidote for Sorrowful Breeze and was immune to its effects. Xiao Feng had anticipated this situation and held an antidote pill in his mouth in advance.
In the world of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils," Sorrowful Breezewas considered a top-tier drug, but in the Douqi Continent, it was merely a second-grade pill at best.
Before going on his journey, Xiao Feng had specifically purchased some healing medicines and antidote pills, making it easy for him to counteract Sorrowful Breeze.
When performing the body projection simulation, the system perfectly replicated his state at the time, including his storage ring and its contents.
Therefore, Xiao Feng was able to take out a second-grade antidote pill from his storage ring and secretly put it into his mouth without anyone noticing.
Looking at the crowd lying on the ground, Helian Tieshu sneered, "Take them all down!"
The Yipintang warriors, hearing this, quickly took out prepared ropes and tied up the members of the Beggar Sect like pigs.
Xiao Feng ignored the fierce Xixia warriors and said coldly, "Duan Yanqing, knowing you have a son before you die should allow you to die in peace."
Duan Yanqing's pupils shrink as he rasped, "You want to kill me?"
"Wrong! It's not that I want to kill you, but that you need to kill yourself."
Xiao Feng shook his head and pointed at Duan Yu, who was still in shock. "You and Ye Erniang made the same mistake, committing too many sins. As long as you live, your descendants will be implicated. Only if you die can he continue to be the heir to the Dali Kingdom. Otherwise, he will be ridiculed!"
"..."
Duan Yanqing fell silent.
Although Xiao Feng's words were harsh, Duan Yanqing had to admit he was right.
"You're right. I should have died long ago…"
Staring at Duan Yu's face, which bore a strong resemblance to his own in youth, Duan Yanqing smiled in relief. He slowly raised his right hand and aimed a Yiyang Finger at his own forehead.
Just as everyone thought Duan Yanqing was about to kill himself, his eyes flashed with a chilling light, and he suddenly aimed his Yiyang Finger at Xiao Feng's forehead.
"Bang!!!"
Due to their close proximity and Duan Yanqing's higher skill level, Xiao Feng didn't have time to react and was struck through the skull.
Even with the power of the Armored Titan, which could regenerate limbs, a pierced brain meant certain death.
"You are too dangerous and know too much. You must die…"
Before Xiao Feng completely lost consciousness, he faintly heard Duan Yanqing's hoarse voice.
Duan Yanqing was greatly wary of Xiao Feng because he knew too many secrets and acted too recklessly.
Murong family plotting rebellion!
Beggar Sect high-ranking members colluding with Kang Min to frame their own leader!
Abbot Xuan Ci had a son with Ye Erniang!
Duan Zhengchun's son was not his biological son!
Any of these revelations by Xiao Feng could cause great upheaval in the martial world.
Duan Yanqing believed Xiao Feng had deeper schemes and had to eliminate him to prevent any manipulation using Duan Yu's identity.
The key was, with both Duan Yanqing and Xiao Feng dead, Dao Bai Feng could deny everything, and no one could prove Duan Yu wasn't Duan Zhengchun's biological son.
Parents love their children and plan for their future!
[Ding! You are dead!]
[Simulation ended!]
Xiao Feng's vision went black, and when he regained consciousness, he was back in the spacious, dry cave.
"Damn!"
Xiao Feng instinctively touched his forehead and couldn't help but curse, "I was careless and didn't dodge!"
The reason Xiao Feng was killed was partly because he didn't expect Duan Yanqing to suddenly strike, and partly because he was too arrogant.
Xiao Feng shouldn't have treated the projection world's people as mere game NPCs, ignoring their real emotions. He needed to learn from this lesson.
My meal… No! My opportunity!
[Extracting simulation rewards, please purchase the required simulation rewards before randomly drawing two rewards.]
During this body projection simulation, Xiao Feng triggered two projection tasks: "Save Azhu" and "Eliminate Evil."
In the original plot, Azhu was mistakenly killed by Qiao Feng because he was deceived by Kang Min into thinking Duan Zhengchun was the leader of the enemies.
Now that Xiao Feng had revealed Abbot Xuanci as the true leader, Azhu wouldn't be mistakenly killed by Qiao Feng, completing the "Save Azhu" task.
After each simulation, Xiao Feng would get a free draw, plus an extra draw for completing "Save Azhu," giving him two draws.
Ten simulation rewards were quickly drawn, displayed as follows:
[Kang Min's scented undershirt (Price: 1 merit point)]
[Duan Yanqing's pair of iron crutches (Price: 2 merit points)]
[Azhu's disguise technique experience (Price: 200 merit points)]
[Qiao Feng's Dragon Subduing Palm experience (Price: 2000 merit points)]
[A bottle of Sorrowful Breeze (Price: 50 merit points)]
[Wang Yuyan's hairpin (Price: 1 merit point)]
[Duan Yu's invulnerability to poison (Price: 1000 merit points)]
[Yue Lao San's crocodile shears (Price: 1 merit point)]
[A bottle of Yin-Yang Harmonizing Powder (Price: 5 merit points)]
[A broken bowl (Price: 1 merit point)]
Looking at the ten reward options on the panel, Xiao Feng touched his chin, showing a thoughtful expression.
The so-called "random draw" after each simulation wasn't truly random but seemed limited to things related to people around him in the projection world.
For example, the rewards this time were all related to the people in the apricot forest.
Thus, Xiao Feng realized that in future simulations, he needed to interact with more powerful figures and die near them to increase his chances of drawing valuable items.
Since Xiao Feng had two free draws, he decided to first spend 261 merit points to buy the cheaper eight rewards, leaving the two most expensive ones for free.
Among the eight rewards Xiao Feng purchased, the most precious was [Azhu's disguise technique experience], costing 200 merit points, represented by a golden orb.
"Use!"
As Xiao Feng mentally commanded, the orb turned into a golden light and merged into his forehead.
