#330 - A branch of plum blossoms with six flowers

However, beneath this fear, the toad's mouth seemed to act independently, its eyes slanting as it struck a haughty pose.

It even blurted out arrogant words: "A good dog doesn't block the path. Open your dog eyes wide and see, standing before you is your Frog Saint! If you kneel and beg for mercy now, perhaps I, your Frog Saint, might spare your lives, otherwise..."

Before it could finish speaking, it seemed to realize its blunder, so frightened that it almost collapsed to the ground.

But just then, a surge of righteous energy inexplicably flooded into its body, steadying its form and making its eyes arrogant once more, glancing sideways at the crowd, secretly hoping that the master on its back could save it from this predicament.

Seeing this, Li Chengfeng smiled faintly, put away the book in his hand, and casually tossed the brush into his storage bag.

He did not stand up but remained lazily reclined in his lounge chair, leisurely saying, "Who might you all be, to engage in such highway robbery, a disgrace to civilized conduct? Truly a blight on the scenery."

His tone was calm, yet it possessed an undeniable air of authority, causing all six men present to falter for a moment.

Wang Bin and the others quickly recovered from their shock, speaking fiercely, "What highway robbery? We six are currently auxiliary personnel of Qinghai City's Law Enforcement Team.

We are specifically responsible for inspecting suspicious individuals. We suspect that you are Li Chengfeng, so we have come specifically to investigate.

Hand over your storage bag. If you are not Li Chengfeng, we will naturally return it; but if you are truly that evil demon, we will have no choice but to hand you over to the Law Enforcement Team."

Before his voice faded, the toad couldn't help but interject, its tone tinged with mockery: "Which Law Enforcement Team is so blind as to hire you six good-for-nothings?

Your eyes are probably worse than a dog's; can't you see that we are upright gentlemen, filled with righteous energy?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Bin gritted his teeth in anger, roaring, "No need for further inspection; you are Li Chengfeng! Look at this demonic beast you've raised, pretending to have righteous energy, but spouting filthy language.

Brothers, attack! Subdue him!"

Hearing this, the toad immediately fell silent, inwardly regretting its words, wishing it could slap itself a few times.

Li Chengfeng remained lazily reclined in his lounge chair, not even glancing at them, merely idly flipping through the wordless heavenly book in his hand.

He slowly said, "I understand your intentions, the six of you. You merely covet the treasures on my person, engaging in the villainous act of robbery.

Why bother putting it so grandly? I am a scholar, emphasizing virtue and persuasion. Now, I will give you a chance: lay down your butcher knives and turn back to the shore.

Go back and reflect properly, and I won't make things difficult for you. But if you are determined to remain deluded, then I will have no choice but to resort to extraordinary measures,

lest others follow in my footsteps in the future. I call this 'courtesy before force'; don't you think it's very reasonable?"

The burly man with several large bumps on his head could no longer contain his anger, roaring, "Boss, let's stop wasting words with them!

I've been holding back for so long; let's capture this toad first, skin it, pull out its tendons, and stew it in a soup. As for its master, we'll soak his soul in wine! These two fellows are definitely not good people,

what reason or no reason, the biggest fist is the only reason that matters!"

Hearing this, Wang Bin nodded, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Kill!"

The six men no longer hesitated, instantly launching their attack, their coordination seamless, each displaying their unique spells.

Six black flames appeared out of thin air, these flames emitting scorching heat, as if capable of burning everything in the world.

Even more astonishing, these six flames rapidly merged in the air, transforming into a raging black sea of fire, sweeping towards Li Chengfeng and the toad.

Seeing this, the toad was frightened out of its wits, almost kneeling and begging for mercy, but Li Chengfeng's righteous energy was like an invisible force, supporting its will and allowing it to barely maintain its dignity.

Li Chengfeng himself, however, wore a smile, looking at the rolling black fire with great interest.

He immediately realized that there was an extraordinary secret hidden within this black fire. Although the flame itself was complex, it contained a trace of a special flame—the origin of karmic fire.

This type of flame was extremely rare, and only those with exceptionally powerful divine sense could detect its existence.

Li Chengfeng couldn't help but wonder how these six men had obtained and controlled this flame?

Faced with such a powerful attack, Li Chengfeng not only showed no fear but became even more excited.

A smile played on his lips as he gently raised the wordless heavenly book in his hand, pouring a stream of righteous energy into it.

Then, the brush appeared in Li Hongfeng's hand, and he quickly drew a sprig of winter plum on it, lifelike.

Surprisingly, the wordless heavenly book quietly stood in front of him, like an indestructible shield.

The three beauties in the distance were greatly shocked by this scene.

They knew the power of the six men's flames was terrifying, and even they themselves had to temporarily avoid its edge. Therefore, they had not dared to act rashly.

However, seeing Li Chengfeng facing this monstrous black fire so calmly, they couldn't help but wonder: Was he crazy?

Li Chengfeng's actions shocked everyone present, including the three beauties in the distance.

The black flame, which was originally enough to devour everything, was instantly completely absorbed by him and transformed into black plum blossom imprints on the winter plum.

This scene was not only beautiful but also exuded an unspeakable strangeness and power.

The six enemies stared wide-eyed, as if they had seen the most incredible sight in the world, their faces filled with disbelief.

Li Chengfeng, however, leisurely admired the six plum blossoms on the winter plum branch, a faint smile on his lips.

"Thank you, the six of you, for adding six plum blossom marks to this book, one plum blossom, one strength.

To express my gratitude, I have decided to send you on your way, so that you can feel a trace of tranquility even in death, how about it?"

There was a hint of jest in Li Chengfeng's words, but it caused an ominous premonition to rise in the hearts of the six men.

However, their reaction was ultimately a step too slow. Just as they prepared to attack again, summoning their flying swords.

The wordless heavenly book in Li Chengfeng's hand suddenly shook, and a vast and boundless righteous energy surged out.

The sprig of winter plum seemed to come alive, guiding this wood spiritual energy into the six plum blossoms, instantly erupting with astonishing power.

The six men only felt an irresistible force flood into their minds, their divine senses instantly damaged, and their divine thoughts severely injured.

The six flames were commemorated by them as their natal flames. Li Chengfeng used his powerful divine sense to crush them, shattering their divine thoughts.

They each suffered a backlash, filled with pain, while Li Chengfeng merely smiled faintly, as if he had done a trivial thing.

With a gentle wave of the wordless heavenly book in Li Chengfeng's hand, the six flames rose into the air once more, transforming into a black sea of fire, completely engulfing the six men.

After six screams, the six men turned into wisps of green smoke, disappearing from this world, not even their divine souls could escape.

After devouring the six men, the sea of fire reversed and fell back, returning to the pages of the wordless heavenly book, transforming into six even more enchanting winter plums.

The plum blossoms on the branch seemed even more vivid and dazzling than before, exuding an even greater power.

Six storage bags fell from the sky.

Frog Saint stretched out its huge tongue and rolled them, swallowing the six storage bags into its stomach. His stomach seemed to have a space inside.

Li Chengfeng nodded in satisfaction, his analysis was indeed correct.

The reason this flame was special was because it could absorb the karma of those burned to death by the flame, transforming it into strands of karmic fire, thereby continuously strengthening itself.

This was simply a breeding ground for karmic fire, and he now possessed a portion of the power of this breeding ground.
