I Bound Myself to a Destructive Witch-Chapter 818 - 786. Are you the Black King?

Chapter 818: 786. Are you the Black King?

Xia Feng hid in the shadows, observing Lady Mi.

Just as Lady Mi seemed a bit impatient, preparing to go all out.

Xia Feng did not hesitate, transforming into a streak of black-red light that pierced through the mist, swiftly crossing through the brow of the Six-eyed Lion Evil. His figure coalesced behind the Lion Evil, his black robe fluttering as he neatly sheathed his blade.

“Crack——” The gigantic body of the Lion Evil seemed to be sliced through by a kaleidoscope of red light, and after a mournful cry, it shattered into gray mist, dissipating entirely.

Xia Feng pressed the Gui Blade at his waist, turning slowly.

At the site of the Lion Evil’s death, a white card descended gently, caught by Lady Mi.

No denying, this Six-eyed Lion Evil had quite the acting skills, understanding and deserving an extra reward!

Under the Black Spade mask, Xia Feng’s lips curled faintly.

He certainly didn’t have such terrifying prowess to instant-kill a Six-eyed Evil; rather, he had comprehended the Six-eyed Great Evil within the Evil Thought Domain!

But it didn’t matter, he lacked the strength, but the Lion Evil had the power to cooperate for the performance.

Indeed, a few minutes earlier, upon detecting Lady Mi’s presence, Xia Feng sent the third Six-eyed Evil he had conveniently subdued along the way to hassle Lady Mi.

He had no choice; he urgently needed to find a teammate, yet didn’t want this teammate to feel he was weak, and then backstab him at any moment.

Thus, Xia Feng devised this plan.

“No Spiritual Pressure fluctuations, seems more like a Divine Relic.”

The Ghost Bride’s red lips parted gently, her tone soft, smiling slyly, “Sir, quite a technique you have.”

Xia Feng didn’t reply, merely nodding slightly, his dark eyes narrowing. Unfortunately, the bridal veil covered the woman’s upper face, making it impossible to see her expression.

Lady Mi’s eyes narrowed slightly, she too couldn’t see the expression of the Black Spade Man.

She continued softly, “So, your purpose is?”

“Slave self?” Xia Feng was momentarily stunned; such an archaic self-reference he hadn’t heard in a long time.

“I require a partner to explore the ash land.” Xia Feng spoke plainly, concise and to the point.

Lady Mi’s red lips curved, “What a coincidence, so do I.”

Then she sighed softly, her gentle voice tinged with annoyance, “You must not know, just now slave self encountered that crude man named Zong Yue. I wanted to form an alliance with him, but before a few words could be exchanged, he was shouting and charging at slave self, incredibly barbaric. It led to slave self being quite injured, forcing me to linger in this Evil Fog….”

Xia Feng: “…”

Really, you just make it up as you go!

If I hadn’t just seen you and Zong Yue had already formed an alliance, I might have believed your nonsense!

Xia Feng internally grumbled, remaining secretly cautious as this strange woman was not simple, quite crafty indeed.

Teaming up with her was possible, but he still needed to be careful.

Hmm… although, it’s not quite right; I’m just an avatar right now, so I don’t have to be overly cautious, Xia Feng pondered, glancing at the remaining scattered Evil Beasts around.

Lady Mi, noticing this, swiftly dealt with them and tossed the white card in her hand to Xia Feng.

“Since you killed the Six-eyed Evil, this rightfully belongs to you.”

Xia Feng caught it casually, glancing at it—it was a Level 0 Investigation Card for the ash land, not bad.

According to the rules, slaying Evil Beasts had a chance to drop Ember Stones or item cards as well.

However, the chances were very low.

Lady Mi had killed many Evil Beasts along the way but had only gotten one Ember Stone, nothing more.

Now, even having killed a Six-eyed Evil, it was lucky to have dropped a Level 0 Investigation Card.

Compared to exploring the ash land, accumulating Ember Stones by killing Evil Beasts obviously wasn’t cost-effective.

Just as Xia Feng stored the Investigation Card, he heard Lady Mi suddenly ask, “Are you the Black King?”

“…..” Xia Feng’s expression remained unchanged, his Black Spade mask lifting slightly, his voice faintly curious and puzzled, “It seems you’ve found traces of the Black King?”

The Ghost Bride nodded, her tone gentle, “However, slave self only knows of the location of the Black King Detection Card.”

Xia Feng: “!”

Just that? Just that, my foot! Xia Feng was inwardly grateful, glad to have run into this one, or it would definitely have become a great calamity!

“Position? How did you learn of this?” the Black Spade Man asked, puzzled.

“This place isn’t suitable for lingering, Mr. Black Spade. Let’s talk while we walk.”

The two quickly traversed through the dense fog, completely leaving the dangerous Calamity Fog Region.

The Ghost Bride seemed to trust Xia Feng now, sharing everything along the way.

“Previously, slave self luckily opened a Level 1 ash land, obtaining an item card—[Level 1·Random Information Card].”

“After using this card, you can designate a large area, such as the Endless Desert, generating a random piece of related information about that area. The information could be very important, or it might be outdated and useless.

Additionally, if you don’t wish to use this card to gain information, it can be exchanged for 3 Ember Stones, rendering the card void.”

Xia Feng: “!”

Man, a card like this simply makes things harder for the Black King and Red King!

“Through this card, slave self obtained an information—the ash land location of the Black King Detection Card is ‘Endless Desert·Northern Withered Forest.’

“Although the Northern Withered Forest’s scope remains vast, fortunately, you’ve acquired a Level 0 Investigation Card. As long as you move quickly, it should be enough to scan and probe the Northern Withered Forest.”

Lady Mi tilted her head slightly towards Xia Feng, her bridal veil fluttering gently in the breeze, hiding her face yet falling back down, she smiled faintly, “Mr. Black Spade, you are indeed interested in finding the Black King Detection Card, are you not?”

“…..”

Alright, alright, you’re quite formidable!

Xia Feng finally understood why this woman was willing to team up with him, turns out she wanted to conveniently make use of the Level 0 Investigation Card he held, testing his identity.

“No need to test my identity—the answer will naturally reveal itself when we reach the Northern Withered Forest.”

“You speak truth, and slave self overthought it.”

All players possess a general map of the Sumeru Realm, so the two reached the Northern Withered Forest quickly.

This was a withered birch forest extending several thousand miles.

Even with the Investigation Card, finding the Black King Detection Card here in an hour wouldn’t be easy.

The two hovered in mid-air.

Xia Feng looked at the Ghost Bride, handing over the white card directly: “My movement speed isn’t swift. It might be more efficient for you to conduct the search.”

In this situation, he could only entrust the search task to the much faster-moving Lady Mi, otherwise, it would seem like he deliberately didn’t want to find the Black King Detection Card.

“I’m glad you trust slave self.” The Ghost Bride smiled, her fiery red lips curling.

Beneath the mask, Xia Feng’s dark pupils narrowed slightly, instinctively wanting to turn back, but he managed to restrain himself.

Just as he was speaking, using the Nash Saint Bow·Forest Eye, he noticed on the western edge of the birch forest, a large man was hiding in the shadows.

In the forest, no one could escape Xia Feng’s Spiritual Sense, not even within the Holy Realm.

The large man was indeed Just Church·Reincarnation of Shura King·Zong Yue!

“Unwilling to show yourself…. these two shady characters, aren’t they also planning something against me?” Xia Feng cursed his luck inwardly, his cold mask gazing quietly into the distance.

The Ghost Bride streaked across the forest canopy with rapid speed, no longer suppressing her strength, moving so fast as to be unseen, completely exceeding Xia Feng’s neurological reaction limits.

Xia Feng seriously doubted, if the Ghost Bride suddenly turned to attack him, whether he’d even be able to react in time.
