The air froze as the group exchanged glances, the ragged gasps of the newcomer cutting through the tension.
21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83eoYXbQtH
"Who the hell are you?" Lu Feng broke the silence, his lips twitching. "You look like a spy sent by Old Wang next door."
21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQs9GJCmR3Q
The man waved frantically, terror etched on his face. "No time! Run! The Bloodfiend Sect—they’re coming! They’ve gone mad!"
21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOacdEg1co
*Bloodfiend Sect.*
21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovyT5AX8Dz
Lu Feng’s pupils constricted. Memories of black-clad assassins flooded back. No wonder this face felt familiar—they’d crossed paths before.
21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyO4apSVRZ
"You’re one of *them*?" Tuck rumbled, his greatsword twitching as if eager to cleave the man in two.
21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUW1zsQtJPl
The stranger shook his head desperately. "No! I *was*—but I defected! They’re monsters, slaughtering without blinking!"
21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0kAzuQdW1
"Defected?" Lu Feng’s frown deepened. Enemy turncoats with sob stories weren’t exactly rare these days.
21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgS7P261ccm
Ayla tugged Lu Feng’s sleeve. "Be careful. This could be a trap."
21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqfzTH93wg
Lu Feng nodded, studying the man’s face. All he saw was raw fear and sincerity.
21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8U1FATkQen
"Name. Reason for betraying them. Why come to us?" Lu Feng’s tone sharpened.
21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoB5w5j9zfS
The man inhaled deeply. "Ares. I couldn’t stomach their cruelty—killing innocents, sacrificing villages. I heard you’re fighting them. I want in."
21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV79ByTsex3
Silence hung heavy.
21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKs0u19vpT
Lu Feng’s mind raced. Trusting a former enemy was risky, but they desperately needed intel. *Fortune favors the bold.*
21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksjYO7UWqM
"Prove it," Lu Feng said coldly. "What’s the Bloodfiend Sect planning? Why target me? What’s Grunn’s role?"
21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8BPTvmSMo
Ares spilled everything: The Bloodfiend Sect’s ancient roots, Grunn as their pawn in the mortal realm, their obsession with Lu Feng’s mysterious power. "They’re opening portals between realms to plunder resources. Their endgame? World domination."
21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFvv2ZMAiU
The weight of the revelation pressed down. What Lu Feng had assumed was personal targeting turned out to be apocalyptic ambition.
21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdiZ4TOjyq
"We stop them," Lu Feng declared. "Ares—ideas?"
21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITnQ5eBM71
"Their supply depot near Dusk Citadel," Ares said urgently. "Destroy it, cripple their forces. I know the location."
21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwfINQPxV1
The plan unfolded rapidly. Raphael mapped strategies while Ayla reinforced moonlit barriers. Under the Shadowfang Cat’s invisibility cloak, the strike team infiltrated the fortress-like depot—a maze of traps guarded by hulking brutes.
21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡictQZy5ANt
Ares guided them through secret paths, his knowledge precise. They reached the central courtyard where crates of cursed weapons gleamed under torchlight.
21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56mlQZJIEY
"Now," Lu Feng whispered.
21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcn85UhW6ko
Chaos erupted. Tuck charged like a berserker, greatsword cleaving through armor. Ares’ arrows found throats and eyes with lethal precision. Lu Feng danced through enemies, blade flashing.
21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkkwW2rJ9G
They’d cleared half the courtyard when the air turned frigid. A black-robed elder materialized, eyes burning with malice. "Insects dare challenge the Bloodfiend Sect?"
21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OsHt5P9HG
The elder’s dark energy lashed out, coiling around Lu Feng like living chains. Just as death descended, Ares threw himself in the path—taking the blow meant for Lu Feng.
21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ffpOmfK5e
"Ares!" Lu Feng caught the falling archer, blood staining his hands.
21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM67kqqdrm9
"Go…" Ares choked. "He’s…a Bloodfiend Elder…"
21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgtxVxfXyZ
"Not without you!" Lu Feng roared.
21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceg3TEsJsH
The battle turned desperate. Even with Ayla’s moonlight weakening the elder’s power, the trio barely held ground. When all seemed lost, Ayla unleashed a blinding lunar burst—the elder staggered, defenses crumbling.
21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmscbl3Tn0O
Lu Feng’s final thrust pierced the elder’s heart. "We…won’t…be…last…" the elder gurgled before collapsing.
21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UUKYU02lK
Panting, Lu Feng retrieved the elder’s spatial ring. "We live to fight another—"
21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqNW8xT2Vx
A dagger hissed through the air. Ayla tackled Lu Feng as a black-clad figure materialized. "The Bloodfiend Sect never forgets!" The assassin crushed a smoke pellet, vanishing into shadows.
21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6ImWboqlZ
"Damn it!" Lu Feng slammed his fist into dirt.
21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3W5Kycekl
Ares coughed weakly, pointing northwest. "Misty Forest…unicorn tribe…next target…three days…"
21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6pPuWDyJe
The pieces clicked. Saving the unicorns could turn the tide—and forge a powerful alliance.
21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSDqfi7lPn
"Rest," Lu Feng ordered. "We move at dawn."
21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnChbaTdEzs
As camp settled, a frost-tinged voice cut through the night: "Their schemes are filthier than you imagine."
21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Bj2nTeiyx
A lean figure emerged—bow across back, eyes glacial. "Name’s Ares. Former Bloodfiend hunter. They took…everything." His voice cracked recounting his family’s sacrifice.
21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KemQbJ0qt
When he revealed the unicorn tribe’s peril, Ayla paled. The mystical creatures were her people’s ancient allies.
21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODgCpcUPuw
"Prove your worth," Lu Feng demanded.
21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbVi3FZe3L
Ares tossed a black token reeking of blood magic—genuine Bloodfiend insignia. "They harvest unicorn spirits for blood puppets. Stop them, or the forest dies."
21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJqitwLnh8
Lu Feng’s grin turned feral. A turncoat with insider knowledge? This changed everything.
21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSXFGFbADv
"Welcome to Dusk Citadel," Lu Feng clasped Ares’ arm. "Let’s give the Bloodfiends a *hell* of a surprise."
21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBanKLljXNQ
The Shadowfang Cat purred agreement, tail flicking like a war banner. Somewhere in the Third Realm, destiny shifted its gaze—and smiled.
