The air froze as the group exchanged glances, the ragged gasps of the newcomer cutting through the tension.
244Please respect copyright.PENANAfllsmOzm9A
"Who the hell are you?" Lu Feng broke the silence, his lips twitching. "You look like a spy sent by Old Wang next door."
244Please respect copyright.PENANAKGp7Ylr36L
The man waved frantically, terror etched on his face. "No time! Run! The Bloodfiend Sect—they’re coming! They’ve gone mad!"
244Please respect copyright.PENANA0HQ6mU8p7F
*Bloodfiend Sect.*
244Please respect copyright.PENANAHDbkXtgDER
Lu Feng’s pupils constricted. Memories of black-clad assassins flooded back. No wonder this face felt familiar—they’d crossed paths before.
244Please respect copyright.PENANAS7cL7WVh3X
"You’re one of *them*?" Tuck rumbled, his greatsword twitching as if eager to cleave the man in two.
244Please respect copyright.PENANAnK6SYCECXk
The stranger shook his head desperately. "No! I *was*—but I defected! They’re monsters, slaughtering without blinking!"
244Please respect copyright.PENANAgTvjcop3QH
"Defected?" Lu Feng’s frown deepened. Enemy turncoats with sob stories weren’t exactly rare these days.
244Please respect copyright.PENANAXHsuuty6ub
Ayla tugged Lu Feng’s sleeve. "Be careful. This could be a trap."
244Please respect copyright.PENANAyorVU5MKkQ
Lu Feng nodded, studying the man’s face. All he saw was raw fear and sincerity.
244Please respect copyright.PENANA6NwWZKQtUQ
"Name. Reason for betraying them. Why come to us?" Lu Feng’s tone sharpened.
244Please respect copyright.PENANA1F48uWmCxY
The man inhaled deeply. "Ares. I couldn’t stomach their cruelty—killing innocents, sacrificing villages. I heard you’re fighting them. I want in."
244Please respect copyright.PENANAUJPi3bpb7s
Silence hung heavy.
244Please respect copyright.PENANAL7itO7dKWn
Lu Feng’s mind raced. Trusting a former enemy was risky, but they desperately needed intel. *Fortune favors the bold.*
244Please respect copyright.PENANA27UfyA6UvD
"Prove it," Lu Feng said coldly. "What’s the Bloodfiend Sect planning? Why target me? What’s Grunn’s role?"
244Please respect copyright.PENANALrFsVOXPWI
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."
244Please respect copyright.PENANANusvlZUqzg
The weight of the revelation pressed down. What Lu Feng had assumed was personal targeting turned out to be apocalyptic ambition.
244Please respect copyright.PENANA6Fimngz9q1
"We stop them," Lu Feng declared. "Ares—ideas?"
244Please respect copyright.PENANAKNOqRTfIBx
"Their supply depot near Dusk Citadel," Ares said urgently. "Destroy it, cripple their forces. I know the location."
244Please respect copyright.PENANAIbxSL1JOj4
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.
244Please respect copyright.PENANAKG8wV63o6I
Ares guided them through secret paths, his knowledge precise. They reached the central courtyard where crates of cursed weapons gleamed under torchlight.
244Please respect copyright.PENANAscmIrxaEjM
"Now," Lu Feng whispered.
244Please respect copyright.PENANAPgc159K9ps
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.
244Please respect copyright.PENANAhWb9AMN0Ci
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?"
244Please respect copyright.PENANAI7K7DwxkW0
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.
244Please respect copyright.PENANAwqOlpuKjap
"Ares!" Lu Feng caught the falling archer, blood staining his hands.
244Please respect copyright.PENANAm10oj68Oiu
"Go…" Ares choked. "He’s…a Bloodfiend Elder…"
244Please respect copyright.PENANANhchmLsFeN
"Not without you!" Lu Feng roared.
244Please respect copyright.PENANAVSweNaR46l
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.
244Please respect copyright.PENANABKCD6aEDEj
Lu Feng’s final thrust pierced the elder’s heart. "We…won’t…be…last…" the elder gurgled before collapsing.
244Please respect copyright.PENANAWPAuvWB7ZQ
Panting, Lu Feng retrieved the elder’s spatial ring. "We live to fight another—"
244Please respect copyright.PENANAztOk89jzJb
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.
244Please respect copyright.PENANAFFf5V21k6x
"Damn it!" Lu Feng slammed his fist into dirt.
244Please respect copyright.PENANAlP9IFJGTZn
Ares coughed weakly, pointing northwest. "Misty Forest…unicorn tribe…next target…three days…"
244Please respect copyright.PENANA9SZAsTRF24
The pieces clicked. Saving the unicorns could turn the tide—and forge a powerful alliance.
244Please respect copyright.PENANARqdzDw8oKR
"Rest," Lu Feng ordered. "We move at dawn."
244Please respect copyright.PENANA89wb95zacA
As camp settled, a frost-tinged voice cut through the night: "Their schemes are filthier than you imagine."
244Please respect copyright.PENANAgxdp5TyTi2
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.
244Please respect copyright.PENANAaNQtyAivIy
When he revealed the unicorn tribe’s peril, Ayla paled. The mystical creatures were her people’s ancient allies.
244Please respect copyright.PENANAKmCOqPCv8p
"Prove your worth," Lu Feng demanded.
244Please respect copyright.PENANATxs9QpAYjS
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."
244Please respect copyright.PENANAUqXm0OIlMs
Lu Feng’s grin turned feral. A turncoat with insider knowledge? This changed everything.
244Please respect copyright.PENANAd0Nrf2a3va
"Welcome to Dusk Citadel," Lu Feng clasped Ares’ arm. "Let’s give the Bloodfiends a *hell* of a surprise."
244Please respect copyright.PENANAmWathri2AZ
The Shadowfang Cat purred agreement, tail flicking like a war banner. Somewhere in the Third Realm, destiny shifted its gaze—and smiled.
