Chapter 251: Chapter 251: Sword Intent (2)

After seeing the wound on his palm heal,

Li Feng slowly lifted his hand to his neck and wiped away the thin line of blood.

By the time his fingers touched the wounded area, it had already sealed.

Only a faint itch remained.

This just showed how much vitality his body possessed.

Even without actively trying to heal himself, everything was already done by the time he went to check it.

“Senior Brother… you’re hurt.”

Ning Jianli stared at him, her face pale and filled with worry.

Her heart couldn’t help but tremble at the sight of blood, as she knew just how powerful and tough Li Feng’s body was.

She had personally seen him take attacks as if they were nothing and had also… experienced firsthand how powerful his body was on the bed.

Ordinary attacks basically couldn’t harm Li Feng at all.

And yet that surprise attack managed to cause some damage.

Even though it was minor, it just showed how terrifyingly sharp that sword intent truly was.

Li Feng finally looked at Ning Jianli and replied.

“It’s nothing,” he said calmly, smiling at her.

“See? It’s already gone. Nothing to worry about.” He raised his palm, showing her the spot where the slash had been, which now fully healed.

Ning Jianli sighed in relief at Li Feng’s easygoing demeanor.

By now, she had already come to see him as their reliable senior brother inside this secret realm.

If anything were to happen to him… they truly wouldn’t know what to do.

But Li Feng, despite the smile on the outside, wasn’t so at ease on the inside.

His eyes narrowed as he thought of that last attack.

That final slash hadn’t been random.

It had been precise and …decisive as it had aimed straight for his throat.

’That should’ve been its last effort…’

Li Feng thought as he sensed a trace of vitality slowly returning to Jian Ruyi.

It seemed that whoever had planted that sword intent within her hadn’t intended to spare Jian Ruyi at all.

The true goal was likely to kill her…and anyone who tried to heal her.

Like killing two birds with one stone.

And it would have succeeded… if the one treating her hadn’t been Li Feng, with his deep reserves of flawless grade pill and terrifying physique and strength.

Now, inside Jian Ruyi’s body, the sword intent was no longer rampaging wildly.

After that final outburst, it had dimmed considerably, like a blade that had struck with everything it had and failed.

Li Feng closed his eyes again.

This time, his spiritual sense didn’t probe gently.

His qi wrapped around it completely, layer upon layer, reinforced by the cleansing medicinal energy.

The flawless-grade essence surged like a tidal wave, drowning out every sharp fluctuation.

The thread of light flickered as the lingering sword intent struggled.

Then—

Crack.

A faint, brittle sound echoed within his perception.

The sword intent shattered.

Not explosively.

Not gloriously.

But like a thin strand of ice snapping under overwhelming force.

A faint ripple of sharp will dispersed into nothingness as silence fell inside Jian Ruyi’s body.

This time, when the recovery pill gathered at the wound….

Nothing cut it.

The torn flesh finally sealed smoothly.

The scar on her face and body slowly faded and did not return.

Li Feng slowly exhaled, sensing that Jian Ruyi’s condition had finally stabilized.

Now that the hidden threat was gone, he could simply let the Rank 2 Recovery Pills do the rest of the work.

The violent spiritual turbulence around him gradually subsided as the dense medicinal fragrance thinning in the cave air.

Ning Jianli stepped closer, her eyes shifting between him and Jian Ruyi.

“Is it… gone?”

“It’s gone.” He opened his eyes. “What remained was only a trace. The true Sword Intent has long since returned to its master.”

His gaze darkened slightly.

Someone capable of leaving behind such refined intent and letting it linger this long was no ordinary cultivator.

It should be a sword genius….a true prodigy.

Li Feng couldn’t help but feel a trace of surprise at that conclusion.

He hadn’t expected someone of that caliber to be among the participants.

“…And judging by the situation, it should belong to the demonic path.”

Li Feng murmured the words quietly.

If such a capable figure were from one of the righteous sects, he would have known before they entered the secret realm.

But there had been no mention of anyone at that level.

And knowing this did not make him feel any better.

It seemed he truly couldn’t sit back and laze around anymore.

He needed to find Yue Lan quickly before his mind could be at ease.

But then he turned toward the woman on the bed and look at her severed limbs and fell silent.

It would be best to wait until she woke up and gather more details before making any plans.

It seemed a Rank 2 Recovery Pill wasn’t enough to completely regenerate her limbs and that was the best pill he currently had on hand.

Li Feng turned toward Ning Jianli and asked, “Did you see her missing arms where you found her?”

Ning Jianli, upon hearing his question, seemed to think for a moment before shaking her head.

“The moment I found her, I hurried back here. But I’m certain there were no arms left at the place where I found her.”

Hearing this, Li Feng rubbed his chin slightly.

If he had the severed arms, it would have been an easy matter to reattach and heal them.

But now… who knew where they were?

Seeing his expression, Ning Jianli stepped closer and asked worriedly, “Senior Brother, do you not have any way to regenerate her limbs?”

Looking at her beautiful face filled with concern, Li Feng hesitated slightly before speaking.

“I do have a way, but… it’s best for her to wake up first and decide whether she wants the treatment or not.”

Ning Jianli looked confused.

Seeing her expression, Li Feng smiled faintly and explained.

“To be honest, I only possess Rank 2 pills.” His gaze shifted to the missing limbs as he continued, “And it seems Rank 2 pills aren’t enough to regenerate them.”

He then looked back at Ning Jianli.

“So the only option left is… dual cultivation.”

Ning Jianli suddenly recalled something after hearing his words.

’That’s right! Senior Brother’s dual cultivation technique seems to possess rather formidable healing properties.’

Even though she hadn’t been injured, she had been restored to her peak condition countless times after being utterly exhausted during their mortal indulgences.

It was to the point that she sometimes felt strange as her mind was drained and hazy, yet her body brimming with energy.

While she wasn’t certain just how far those healing effects could reach, she was at least confident that they wouldn’t be inferior to a Rank 2 Recovery Pill and might even rival a Rank 3.

She had experienced it herself, so she was sure of it… even if it had been for rather indulgent purposes.

Seeing the realization dawn in her eyes, Li Feng smiled.

“It’s exactly as you think,” he said calmly. “And I can assure you, it’s the most powerful healing method I have at the moment.”

At that, Ning Jianli looked at him with bright anticipation.

“Then what are you waiting for, Senior Brother?” she urged. “Do it!”

Li Feng looked at her strangely and coughed lightly.

Naturally, he had his own reasons.

If this had been him before, he might not have cared at all.

He would have simply enjoyed himself with a sword prodigy’s mortal body without bothering about her opinion.

But now, he couldn’t do that.

He understood that such thinking….such methods would only bring short-term benefits.

What he wanted now… was something long-term.

And this was a perfect opportunity to further build a reliable and righteous image….perhaps even score a few more points with both Ning Jianli and Jian Ruyi.

“Ahem… This isn’t something I can force,” he said solemnly. “If her life were in immediate danger, I would apologize afterward and proceed regardless. But now… her condition has stabilized. I want her to decide for herself.”

Upon realizing the meaning behind his words, Ning Jianli couldn’t help but look at him with admiration.

Such a respectful and righteous man.

Truly worthy of being her master.

Seeing her serious face, with that tender look in her eyes, Li Feng could feel his desire slowly stirring now that the immediate emergency had passed.

He moved closer, tilting her chin up slightly with one hand while the other drifted to mold the soft, plump flesh of her peach.

“…I don’t think your senior sister will be waking up anytime soon,” he whispered while kneading gently.

“How about we do something… productive to pass the time?”

Ning Jianli froze for a moment at his words.

Her eyes flicked briefly toward Jian Ruyi before lowering again…and nodded.

Seeing this, Li Feng’s smile deepened.

Desire surged through him, almost impossible to contain, as he slowly led her toward another area he had prepared for …something he had in mind.
