Chapter 788: Beheading Your Dog's Head
When Zhao Qingyuan walked towards Shen Feng, who was trapped under the ruins,
Sun Hongfu finally managed to climb out of the deep pit with great difficulty. Previously, he hadn't expected Shen Feng to have any connection to the Left Emperor Sect!
When Shen Feng displayed his Tri-layered Golden Body and finally turned his gaze towards him,
he naturally understood the implication and quickly recounted the matter regarding Zuo Miaoyin.
Sun Hongfu tried to stand and walk, but as soon as he took a step, he fell to the ground again, which showed how serious his internal injuries were.
Even though Zhao Qingyuan's arm was severed, his combat strength wouldn't decrease by much.
Sun Hongfu knew that it was nearly impossible for Shen Feng to launch another surprise attack.
"Old man, stop right there. Although the chances are slim that Immortal Sea Tower and the Demon-Suppressing Zhao Family would go to war, killing an ordinary Elder like you would still be easy!"
At this moment, all Sun Hongfu could do was to try to stop him with these words, but seeing Zhao Qingyuan not halting his steps, he couldn't help but sigh helplessly. If Shen Feng were killed by Zhao Qingyuan, he too would be greatly affected. If he was unlucky, he might even be killed outright.
Zhou Boyan, Zhou Jingguang, and Luo Hengsong finally breathed a sigh of relief. The situation they were facing was full of twists and turns. Although Shen Feng had been blasted away by a punch from Zhao Qingyuan, they were still frightened, for Shen Feng had the ruthlessness to make a Zhao Family member with the strength of an Immortal Venerable at the Initial Stage sever his own arm.
If they had attacked Shen Feng before Zhao Qingyuan arrived, they would probably have been headed straight for Yama's Palace.
No matter what, they couldn't understand how a young Profound Immortal at the Middle Stage could exhibit such combat power and even have a connection with the Left Emperor Sect!
Although the Demon-Suppressing Zhao Family had forced the Left Emperor Sect into the Emperor Extermination Mountain Range, in front of people like Zhou Boyan and Lin Wanhao, the Left Emperor Sect was absolutely a behemoth.
Moreover,
There were many rumors saying that from time to time, people from the Left Emperor Sect would walk among the Middle Realm to handle affairs. This led some to speculate that the members of the Left Emperor Sect were still alive and well within the Emperor Extermination Mountain Range.
But after all, these were just rumors. Most people had never seen anyone from the Left Emperor Sect. As a result, the majority believed that the Left Emperor Sect had been completely destroyed.
Zhou Xinyu had been holding her breath from the start. Seeing the toad she had mocked possessing such formidable combat strength made turmoil rise in her heart. However, her disdain for Shen Feng grew more intense. She did not like the feeling of being wrong and desperately hoped Shen Feng would die at the hands of Zhao Qingyuan—preferably after being tortured slowly to death.
Yu Wan's body remained tense, sweat pouring from her palms. She inwardly loathed her inability to help in any way. Having survived the Azure Dragon Secret Realm only with Shen Feng's assistance, she bit her lip tightly, mustering all her strength to take a step forward.
Meanwhile, beneath the rubble of the collapsed building,
Shen Feng only felt a sharp pain in his chest as blood continuously spilled from the corner of his mouth. The thought of Zuo Miaoyin and the Left Emperor Sect being slaughtered by the Demon-Suppressing Zhao Family and being forced to hide in the Emperor Extermination Mountain Range ignited a burning sensation in his blood.
His breathing through his nose and mouth grew rapid. The blood-red ring on his finger flashed, and the rust-covered Hidden Edge Sword immediately appeared in his right hand.
The aura of a Profound Immortal at the Middle Stage burst forth fiercely, with Spiritual Energy erupting from every pore in his body.
"Boom!"
The ruins above him were instantly blasted away, and Shen Feng's figure violently shot out, finally pausing in mid-air.
Zhao Qingyuan, watching Shen Feng emerge from the ruins, frowned and said, "You are merely struggling on the brink of death! Killing someone with some relation to the Left Emperor Sect will surely bring rewards from my family."
"Kid, for making me sever my own arm, I will be sure to thank you properly!"
His face twisted hideously as if he were a devil from Hell, his mouth wearing an endless, bloodthirsty smile.
"Wait, wait a moment!"
Suddenly, a trembling voice echoed in the air.
The voice belonged to Yu Wan.
Zhao Qingyuan looked back impatiently.
Yu Wan, having struggled to take five steps, shook badly. She couldn't get past this barrier in herself. Even if it meant death, she had to stand up and speak a word of justice for Shen Feng.
The Supreme Elder of the Yu Family, Yu Huilian, seeing Yu Wan daring to interrupt Zhao Qingyuan, turned deathly pale and hurriedly took a step to stop her.
Yu Wan was only lightly injured thanks to Yu Huilian's protection during the successive shockwaves from earlier.
As Yu Huilian moved to intercept, Yu Wan shouted, "From now on, I have no more ties with the Flame Fallen City's Yu Family."
She did not want to involve her own family.
Caught in shock, Yu Huilian was about to speak, but Zhou Xinyu rushed out and with a "slap," struck Yu Wan's face.
Given Yu Wan's cultivation, it was originally impossible for her to be slapped by Zhou Xinyu, but at that moment, she was in utter panic and had not anticipated that Zhou Xinyu would lash out at her.
After delivering the slap, Zhou Xinyu shouted, "Yu Wan, what right do you have to interrupt your senior? Who do you think you are? It seems to me that you're also involved with this kid."
Zhou Boyan, Luo Hengsong, and the others also fixed their gaze on Yu Wan, and their oppressive auras bore down on her. Yu Wan had dared to publicly interrupt Zhao Qingyuan; her survival was now out of the question.
Yu Huilian watched Yu Wan, her cheek marked with a palm print, feeling a sense of despair, at a loss as to why her junior would step forward. She was still unaware of what had transpired within the Azure Dragon Secret Realm.
Zhao Qingyuan, sensing the oppressive auras of Zhou Boyan and the others bearing down on Yu Wan, once again turned his attention to Shen Feng, hovering in mid-air, and shouted, "Kid, it seems this girl truly has some connection with you. Even at this life-and-death moment, she dares to step forward and ask me to stop. She really is quite devoted to you!"
"Would you be in great pain if I let her die before your eyes?"
In the midst of speaking.
His figure immediately swept towards Yu Wan, intending to torment Shen Feng both mentally and physically.
But just at that moment.
Shen Feng suddenly swung the Hidden Edge Sword in his hand!
"Old fool, you won't get the chance. This sword will sever your dog head!"
In the rush of the moment, he had only unleashed fifty percent of the Hidden Edge Sword's power, but even that was already a force to be reckoned with.
At the same time.
Sword Intent surged within him.
From this single sword strike, eight Sword Qi shot forth, each representing a different Sword Intent.
Shen Feng had long since cultivated these eight types of Sword Intent to Great Perfection.
Each type of Great Perfection Sword Intent could be compared to a top-tier Four-Star Immortal Technique. Now, with the amplification of the Hidden Edge Sword's power, each type of Sword Intent was as powerful as a Five-Star Immortal Technique.
Seeing the eight different Sword Intents rushing toward him, Zhao Qingyuan sensed that even a Semi-Celestial Venerable would need to evade their sharpness, but he now possessed the combat strength of an Initial Stage Celestial Venerable. He immediately extended his palm forward, "Dragon Scale Shield!"
A blue barrier suddenly enveloped him, as if covered in dragon scales. It was a Five-Star defensive Immortal Technique.
With his combat strength, it was more than enough to withstand the eight different Sword Intents.
However.
At that moment.
Shen Feng once again waved the Hidden Edge Sword in his hand, "Eight Swords as One!"
The eight streams of Sword Qi charging at Zhao Qingyuan suddenly fused into an immense Sword Shadow.
It radiated terrifying sharpness, and the Sword Qi surged on top of the massive Sword Shadow, as if the entire heavens and earth were about to be cleaved apart.
The fusion of eight types of Sword Intent instantly escalated their power, now on par with a Six-Star elite Immortal Technique.
A Five-Star Immortal Technique simply could not compare to a Six-Star; the power increase was not just a matter of several folds.
This move would nearly deplete all of Shen Feng's Spiritual Energy. He could only barely execute it now, which is why he had not used Eight Swords as One from the start.
Seeing the immense Sword Shadow slashing down at him, Zhao Qingyuan instantly sensed something was wrong, his face showing disbelief. He did not expect this youngster before him to actually be able to fuse eight types of Sword Intent. What an incredible Sword Dao talent!
There was no time left to dodge; he could only forcibly strengthen the Dragon Scale Shield.
"Swoosh!"
Unfortunately.
The terrifyingly immense Sword Shadow still broke through his Dragon Scale Shield, and ultimately slashed horizontally at his neck.
His head immediately flew into the air, his face filled with boundless shock and horror, his eyes wide open, a clear sign of dying with grievous unwillingness.
"Boom!"
When Zhao Qingyuan's head fell to the ground from mid-air, everyone's eyes focused on the head. Many hearts beat wildly, feeling as though they were about to leap from their chests, and they found themselves almost unable to breathe, their minds a blank.
