Hua Manchun and his companions attempted to pursue Chu Yaoxian and He Jiaqing, but the duo escaped. Hua Manchun, suspecting a counterattack on his manor, left his companions to continue the chase while he returned. Upon arrival, he discovered Feng Daiku and Ma Wu had infiltrated Flower Fairy Mansion and were stalling him with the Waterfall Gate. Distracted by Hua Manchun's Emotional Root and goaded by Feng Daiku's taunts, Hua Manchun initially tried to escape but was ultimately tricked by Li Banfeng and impaled from behind, then crushed.

Li Banfeng stepped on Wan Chuan, knocking off half of Hua Manchun's flesh and blood.

The skeleton, still attached to the remaining flesh, hung on the Tang Sword, which was entirely crimson and seemed exceptionally excited.

"Master, this person's blood is quite unusual."

Above the Clouds Lust Cultivation, the color of the blood is indeed extraordinary.

The Clock Pendulum jumped out to quickly suck the blood, while Hua Manchun seized the opportunity to try to break free from the Tang Sword.

The Tang Sword sprouted barbs all over, constantly changing in shape and size, making several attempts by Hua Manchun to break free unsuccessful.

Why is this sword so formidable?

Hua Manchun couldn't understand, unaware of how many high-level cultivators the Tang Sword had consumed.

After a brief struggle, Hua Manchun's strength suddenly increased, and Li Banfeng noticed that flesh and blood were regrowing on his bones.

Hua Manchun was well-known among the local deities in Proper Land, even Pan Dehai feared him to some extent; he naturally had unique abilities.

Not only could he fight, but he could also withstand attacks, possessing methods similar to the Greenwater Beggar, allowing him to reclaim flesh knocked from his bones, even more remarkably, his method was more covert than the Greenwater Beggar's, allowing him to retrieve the flesh without Li Banfeng noticing.

But Feng Daiku noticed.

Like Chu Yaoxian, she had suffered losses at the hands of Hua Manchun and wanted him eliminated, but Feng Daiku did not pin all her hopes on others; she took many actions herself.

She found the best opportunity to assault Hua Manchun and was well-acquainted with Hua Manchun's combat techniques.

Seeing Hua Manchun's flesh scattered by Li Banfeng, Feng Daiku nudged Ma Wu, who mounted Huang Mei and dispersed its offsprings.

Leeches have a bloodthirsty nature, and a swarm of tiny leeches just emerged from egg cocoons, frantically rushing toward the scattered flesh.

Hua Manchun's restoration was just under halfway, but the other half of the flesh couldn't be reclaimed.

A sudden increase in plump leeches devoured the remaining flesh.

Hua Manchun tried to kill the leeches, but he was still hanging on the Tang Sword, and Li Banfeng was in no hurry to kill him, constantly agitating the Tang Sword within Hua Manchun's viscera.

With the advantage gained, Li Banfeng didn't change tactics or take risks, instead, he exploited his advantage thoroughly.

This strategy was unbearable for Hua Manchun, as every move he made forward, Li Banfeng followed; each side step, Li Banfeng mirrored, ensuring the Tang Sword remained within Hua Manchun's body.

The Tang Sword continued to transform; outwardly, Hua Manchun looked intact, but internally, he was churned to pulp, yet Li Banfeng refused to relent.

Suffering severe injuries, Hua Manchun forcibly split his body in two, escaping from the Tang Sword and sprinting towards New Land.

Ahead lay the very swamp they traversed earlier, while Ma Wu, riding Huang Mei, was about to give chase, but was dissuaded by Li Banfeng: "Flower Fairy Mansion hasn't been captured yet; you and Miss Feng handle the manor first."

Ma Wu took Feng Daiku into the manor, while Li Banfeng sprinted and quickly caught up with Hua Manchun.

Hua Manchun stopped, casting his technique at Li Banfeng—Dry Wood Fierce Fire.

This technique was quite crude, frankly speaking, it could make Li Banfeng's desires surge, wanting to grab and test the sex of even a moth flying by.

Hua Manchun's injuries were too severe; the gaze hit, but the technique didn't reach, prompting Li Banfeng to swiftly evade, moving several yards away, beyond Hua Manchun's casting range.

The technique failed, but Hua Manchun wasn't interested in prolonged battle and fled into the swamp, with a pitch-black man running to his side and pointing forward.

Hua Manchun didn't know where this man came from or what he meant, only seeing him continuously pointing ahead, with Li Banfeng explaining: "He's asking if you're going to keep running forward."

This black man's form somewhat resembled Li Qi's, with clothes almost identical; could it be Li Qi's shadow?

Why could Li Qi control shadows? It must be a Home Cultivation Cloud Top Technique.

Hua Manchun tried Dry Wood Fierce Fire on Li Banfeng again, causing him to swiftly evade, but the shadow didn't dodge, believing it wasn't a complete entity and likely wouldn't be harmed by Lust Cultivation Technique.

After dodging the technique, Li Banfeng charged with the sickle, in a flurry of strikes, cornering Hua Manchun into a difficult spot.

If the shadow attacked at this moment, it could easily pin down Hua Manchun, but turning to see, Li Banfeng found the shadow lying on the soft swamp ground, swaying its body.

Whether quickly subduing Hua Manchun wasn't crucial, what mattered was how embarrassing the situation was.

Li Banfeng withdrew the shadow, starting to frequently use Short Step, sometimes only three to five steps from Hua Manchun, other times, several meters away, leaving Hua Manchun defenseless and unable to counter.

After running over two miles, a pool appeared ahead.

A vortex emerged in the center of the pool; though not large, it sunk deeply in the middle, stirring Li Banfeng's imagination.

This is truly strange.

Why am I captivated by the vortex?

Gazing at the enticing lines of the vortex, Li Banfeng indeed felt a bit impulsive.

Could I have fallen victim to Lust Cultivation Technique too?

After carefully sensing his physical state, Li Banfeng realized he indeed was affected by Lust Cultivation Technique.

The technique was used on the shadow, and the shadow was hit.

Now, bringing the shadow back seemingly had an influence.

If this influence isn't addressed, who knows what Li Banfeng might do.

Yet concerning handling, there wasn't an appropriate place at present.
