Chapter 1040: Chapter 1040: Fang Bai Goes Missing

Ge Feng, a high-rank Desolate Level powerhouse, unleashed a full-force strike with incredible might.

His slash released a fierce and unrivaled invisible blade aura from the blade, spreading forward in a fan shape. The blade aura seemed to cut through the violent cold wind and forcefully blocked the fierce snow. Even the two mid-rank Desolate Level Martial Artists who had ambushed them had to halt their advancement and chose to retreat and evade under the pressure of the blade aura.

"Brother Fang!"

Ge Feng had forced back the two strong foes with one slash and felt a surge of joy. However, he suddenly heard Liu Qingqing’s cry of alarm and his heart jolted in shock. He quickly turned his head to look for Fang Bai, but Fang Bai had disappeared.

And the two early-rank Desolate Level Martial Artists who were assigned to attack Fang Bai and Liu Qingqing had also vanished amidst the vast blizzard at the same time.

"Where is Fang Bai?"

Ge Feng shouted fiercely while his eyes darted around. All he saw, however, was the howling wind sweeping the skies full of snow. There was no sign of Fang Bai.

He couldn’t even sense Fang Bai’s Martial Artist Aura.

"I don’t know! Brother Fang was right beside me just a moment ago, and then he disappeared..."

Liu Qingqing replied with a sob in her voice.

At that moment, the two mid-rank Desolate Level Martial Artists who had attacked Ge Feng also turned and sped away, quickly disappearing swallowed by the blizzard.

The four Desolate Level Martial Artists came and went like the wind, clearly having planned it beforehand, targeting Fang Bai.

Fang Bai was the greatest hope for the future rise of Bitao Martial Academy; any mishap befalling him would be a tremendous blow to the academy.

Ge Feng thought Fang Bai had been abducted by the opponents and never expected them to act so swiftly. Overwhelmed by shock and anger, he couldn’t help but let out a skyward roar and leapt off the Swiftwind Horse, searching within a radius of dozens of yards, but to no avail.

Ge Feng wanted to leave the team to search further for Fang Bai but was also worried that once he left, he might fall into the enemy’s trap of luring the tiger away from the mountain, which could lead to Liu Qingqing and the other eight disciples being attacked.

But if he stayed there guarding the eight disciples, Fang Bai might face dire consequences...

For a moment, Ge Feng found himself in a dilemma, unable to decide.

"Elder Ge, Brother Fang... Senior Brother Fang... he won’t be in trouble, will he?"

Liu Qingqing, seeing the grim expression on Ge Feng’s face and the mysterious disappearance of Fang Bai, was extremely worried and asked with a trembling voice.

Just now, the attention of Ge Feng and the others had been entirely drawn by the four attackers; nobody noticed Fang Bai, not even Liu Qingqing who was closest to him. She only felt a flicker beside her, and when she focused her eyes to look again, Fang Bai’s figure was already gone.

"This... ah..."

Ge Feng looked dejected and sighed deeply, unsure how to answer Liu Qingqing.

Of course, Ge Feng hoped that Fang Bai was safe, but the four assailants just then were brimming with killing intent, clearly intending to kill Fang Bai. If Fang Bai had really been abducted by them, the chances were grim.

Thinking of such an outstanding talent who might have fallen before he even rose, Ge Feng felt an overwhelming sadness, and his heart was filled with agony.

"Brother Fang is so powerful, he must be fine... he must be fine... may the heavens protect him..."

Liu Qingqing, realizing something from Ge Feng’s expression, felt as if her heart was struck heavily. She looked around in a panic, praying for Fang Bai under her breath, her beautiful eyes brimming with tears, ready to fall.

How she wished that Fang Bai could appear before her, piercing through the fierce wind and blizzard with his usual confident smile, giving her a surprise.

However, her prayers were only met with the howling wind and the swirling blizzard.

"Brother Fang, where are you! Can you hear me?"

As Fang Bai did not appear after a long while, Liu Qingqing’s spirit nearly collapsed, and large teardrops surged from her eyes, rolling down her cheeks and dropping to the ground with a patter.

Suddenly, Liu Qingqing bit her lip, a determined look on her pretty face. Amid the cries of surprise from Huang Miao and others, she twisted her waist and leaped off the Swiftwind Horse, then madly rushed into the blizzard ahead.

"Junior Sister Liu!"

Huang Miao and Liu Qingqing had once trained in the mountains together and were quite close. Seeing her rush into the blizzard, worried she might come to harm, he immediately spurred his Swiftwind Horse to follow her.

Ge Feng and the others, naturally, also followed closely.

The nine people from Bitao Martial Academy spent several hours searching back and forth in the stormy Soul Severing Valley. They encountered another team of Martial Artists passing through the valley; Ge Feng asked if they had seen four Desolate Level Martial Artists and carefully described Fang Bai, but all the martial artists shook their heads in confusion.

Liu Qingqing’s pretty face turned pale, void of any color, tears streaming down, her heart aching like it was being sliced by knives, and her voice had long since been cried hoarse.

Shen Yulin, Huang Miao, and others wanted to console Liu Qingqing, but Ge Feng stopped them.

Ge Feng knew Fang Bai and Liu Qingqing were close, and now with Fang Bai missing without a trace, Liu Qingqing was understandably heartbroken. It was better for her to cry her heart out; bottling it up inside would only cause more harm.

With Fang Bai’s fate uncertain, among the nine from Bitao Martial Academy, only Yang Lin, who had once been reprimanded by Fang Bai, felt a secret satisfaction, although he still pretended to be as somber as everyone else.

"Qingqing, let’s go! Maybe Fang Bai was just kidnapped by the opponents and isn’t in any life-threatening danger?"

When Ge Feng said this, even he didn’t quite believe it.

Seeing Liu Qingqing’s wooden expression and blank gaze, Ge Feng, worried she might do something desperate, sternly added, "Even if Fang Bai really has fallen, what you need to do now is to improve your strength, empower yourself, then find out who murdered Fang Bai and avenge him!"

"Yes... to avenge... If Brother Fang is no longer here, I will tread through the entire True Martial Realm to find the murderer and avenge Brother Fang..."

A frightening fierceness suddenly shot from Liu Qingqing’s beautiful eyes, even making Ge Feng shudder when their gazes met, thinking how the usually gentle Liu Qingqing now emanated such a heavy killing intent, almost like transforming into a deadly female warrior.

Previously, Liu Qingqing was very dependent on Fang Bai, thinking that anything could be perfectly resolved with him around. But now, with Fang Bai’s fate unknown, Liu Qingqing suddenly felt much more mature.

"Elder Ge is right, I need to become strong, to find out the identities of those four attackers! No matter who they are or how powerful, I won’t let them go!"

Liu Qingqing wiped her tears, leapt onto her Swiftwind Horse, nodded to Ge Feng, and said, "Elder Ge, let’s continue moving forward, to Purple Flame City!"
