Chapter 789: 789
After chopping off Zhao Qingyuan's dog head, the huge sword shadow slowly dissipated in the air.
Shen Feng had completely exhausted his Spiritual Energy inside his body and used the Hidden Edge Sword to support himself; his breathing through the nose was extremely erratic.
Fortunately, he was not facing a real Initial Stage Immortal Venerable this time, otherwise, his chances of victory would have greatly decreased.
Although Zhao Qingyuan had temporarily gained the strength of an Initial Stage Immortal Venerable after taking the Pills, he still had a gap compared to a true Initial Stage Immortal Venerable.
Besides, Zhao Qingyuan was too careless at the end; otherwise, he definitely wouldn't have died so quickly.
As Shen Feng watched Zhao Qingyuan's headless body slowly fall to the ground,
Suddenly,
A powerful force burst forth from Zhao Qingyuan's body, causing the space around to tremble.
This force rushed swiftly towards Shen Feng.
Shen Feng hadn't anticipated such a sudden event. When he wanted to use a secret technique to forcefully dodge,
It was already too late.
The powerful force struck him hard.
With a "bang!"
He was sent flying backward, the Hidden Edge Sword slipped from his hand, and a mass of blood mist exploded from his body.
By the time he hit the ground, he was covered in fresh blood, barely clinging to life, completely unable to stand up from the ground.
In his lifetime, Zhao Qingyuan must have inscribed some kind of prohibition within his body that would unleash an attack once he was killed.
After all, people tend to relax their guard at the end of a battle, and such a sudden attack would undoubtedly achieve an unexpected effect.
However, it might be due to the effect of taking the Pills to temporarily enhance his strength that affected the prohibition within his body, causing the strength of the attack to significantly decrease.
Even so, Shen Feng was still narrowly killed by this attacking force; thankfully, his physical body's strength greatly surpassed his current cultivation, enabling him to barely survive the impact.
Zhou Boyan, Luo Hengsong, and others, who were in shock, hadn't recovered from the death of Zhao Qingyuan, when this unexpected event suddenly occurred.
Zhou Xinyu, looking at the dying Shen Feng, felt fear peak within her heart.
To her, Zhao Qingyuan, who possessed the strength of an Initial Stage Immortal Venerable, was an unattainable existence; such a powerful individual required a lifetime of looking up to.
But such a significant figure as Zhao Qingyuan had died at the hands of someone she considered unworthy, a toad!
If Shen Feng were to recover, the fate of their Zhou Family would undoubtedly be very miserable.
Zhou Xinyu glanced at Sun Hongfu again and, seeing the old man still unable to stand up, she said to Zhou Boyan, "Old Ancestor, now is a good opportunity to kill this brat. He dared to kill an Elder from the Demon-Suppressing Zhao Family's Inner Sect. If we can take his life, our Zhou Family will surely gain the protection of the Demon-Suppressing Zhao Family."
Upon hearing this,
Not only Zhou Boyan, but even Zhou Jingguang, Luo Hengsong, and the others all snapped back to their senses. They knew Zhou Xinyu was absolutely right, and now was the best moment to act; Shen Feng was at death's door and couldn't possibly have any fighting power. Since they had already thoroughly offended Shen Feng,
Sun Hongfu, who was sitting crossed-legged on the ground at a distance, saw Zhou Xinyu's ruthless nature and felt as though flames would shoot out from his eyes, and he roared, "I advise you to stop now, or the Immortal Sea Tower will not let you off."
"Exterminating these families of Flame Fallen City would be a trivial matter for Immortal Sea Tower,"
Zhou Xinyu's face showed a trace of coldness as she said, "Old Ancestor, let's just kill this old guy now. Once we are under the protection of the Demon-Suppressing Zhao Family, we won't have to worry about Immortal Sea Tower's retaliation. If the Demon-Suppressing Zhao Family can't even protect those who seek refuge with them, they will become the laughingstock of the Middle Realm!"
Luo Hengsong immediately added, "Old Zhou, your girl isn't wrong. This kid has reached the end of his rope, and if we miss this chance, it will be our doom."
Sun Hongfu was so angry he almost spat blood. This girl from the Zhou Family had the audacity to even think of killing him, his expression turning exceedingly grim.
Yu Wan, who had been standing there dumbfounded, inwardly sighed at how Shen Feng was truly heaven's favorite. But when she heard Zhou Xinyu's suggestion and looked at Shen Feng lying in a pool of blood, wanting to prevent it as much as possible,
two figures swiftly flew out from the Zhou Family estate.
They were Zhou Xinyao and Zhou Ruixuan. Zhou Xinyao had advanced to the Initial Stage of Profound Immortal, while Zhou Ruixuan had reached the Peak of True Immortal.
Upon seeing the chaos outside, they were visibly taken aback, and their gaze inadvertently fell upon Shen Feng in the pool of blood, filled with even greater confusion.
Upon seeing these two, Yu Wan knew she could only place her hopes on Zhou Xinyao and Zhou Ruixuan. She immediately used Sound Transmission to swiftly relay everything that had occurred here to the two of them.
Of course, she'd heard about the things Zhou Xinyu and others did to Shen Feng from others before she came here.
After all, many people were discussing these events during the fight just now.
After hearing Yu Wan's Sound Transmission,
Zhou Xinyao and Zhou Ruixuan furrowed their brows. Even though they were from the Zhou Family, Shen Feng was their savior, and the whole affair began with the Zhou Family's wrongdoings; they really couldn't be biased.
While the two of them remained silent,
Zhou Boyan excitedly asked, "Xinyao, Ruixuan, which one of you caused the resonance of the gods? Did any of you undergo significant changes?"
Zhou Xinyao shook her head and replied, "Old Ancestor, my body hasn't changed much, not like it would if it had caused a divine phenomenon."
Then, Zhou Ruixuan said, "Old Ancestor, it's the same for me, I fear the initiator of the divine phenomenon is someone else."
In truth, Zhou Xinyao, Zhou Ruixuan, and Yu Wan already had an answer in their hearts. Only heaven's favorite, Shen Feng, could have caused such an extraordinary celestial event.
Upon hearing this,
Zhou Boyan felt a wave of disappointment and was about to seek further confirmation when,
Zhou Xinyu urged, "Old Ancestor, we can set this matter aside for now. If we let that old man, or the young one, recover their strength, it will be our time to die."
Zhou Xinyao, with her brows tightly knitted at her sister's words, quickly said, "Old Ancestor, Shen Feng saved our lives in the Azure Dragon Secret Realm. We cannot act ungratefully, I request you to let him leave."
Zhou Ruixuan nodded and respectfully added, "Old Ancestor, Xinyao is right. Without Shen Feng, we wouldn't have been able to leave the Azure Dragon Secret Realm alive."
Seeing her own sister and Zhou Ruixuan both speak up for Shen Feng, Zhou Xinyu felt an even stronger urge to see Shen Feng dead, and she hastily said, "Old Ancestor, my sister must have been deceived by this kid in the Azure Dragon Secret Realm. If we allow him to recover, our Zhou Family will be annihilated by him!"
After hearing her words, Zhou Boyan glanced at Zhou Jingguang.
Zhou Jingguang's figure then instantly flashed in front of Zhou Xinyao and Zhou Ruixuan and, before they could react, sealed off many of their meridians, rendering them completely immobile.
Zhou Boyan turned to Zhou Xinyao and Zhou Ruixuan and said, "Xinyao, Ruixuan, don't blame me, this kid cannot be kept alive. We must seize this moment when he's at the end of his rope and eliminate him directly!"
Shen Feng, lying in a distant pool of blood, naturally heard their conversation. He desperately tried to stand up from the ground, slowly clenching his palms into fists as he rapidly circulated secret techniques within his body—the Blood Summoning Technique!
