“Safe at last.” Xue Luosha had inadvertently found this secret spot in the past. Even when she was trying to escape earlier, she had been moving with this secret spot in mind. Unexpectedly, the other party would mobilize so many men after her.
She was very confident in the secluded nature of this secret spot. Thus, after breathing a sigh of relief, she began working on healing herself and regaining her strength.
“Hey girl, aren"t you forgetting something?”
The sudden sound caused Xue Luosha to jump to her feet. At the same time, b.l.o.o.d.y light enveloped her surroundings to charge forward. Runes flashed around Xue Luosha and the battle lance in her hand promptly shot forward.
However, all of the attacks missed. It was as though the sound was just an illusion.
“Come out!”
Seeing her attacks missing, Xue Luosha swiftly calmed down. She stopped attacking and hovered in the air, secretly gathering her strength to attack at any moment.
Chen Feng"s figure then appeared, turning from something semi-transparent into something solid. When Chen Feng"s figure became completely revealed, Xue Luosha"s heart thumped a few times, but she did not attack.
“It"s you?” Xue Luosha asked.
“Yes. I think you must have forgotten something,” Chen Feng said smilingly.
“I don"t know what you are talking about. If there is nothing, please leave.” Xue Luosha then waved the battle lance in her hand and Divine power wafted out. Surprisingly, it was a pseudo-Divine artifact.
“The battle lance is quite good. Give me,” Chen Feng said as he rapidly took action, grabbing hold of the battle lance.
The expression on Xue Luosha"s face changed and b.l.o.o.d.y light charged out from her whole body. Next, the battle lance in her hand shot towards Chen Feng"s chest.
Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa!
b.l.o.o.d.y light flared out all around them.
Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa!
Starlight flashed out.
Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa!
Energy waves burst forth and chaotic power of laws twisted about wantonly.
The power that the two of them were displaying was enough to lay waste to planets, but Chen Feng remained immobile. His hand was firmly gripping the battle lance, not shaking in the slightest as he did so.
The atmosphere of might coming from Xue Luosha"s body grew even stronger and her eyes turned blood-red. The power of blood gushed out and wave after wave of b.l.o.o.d.y light surged into the battle lance, creating the image of a roaring sea of blood and a sky-reaching tsunami.
“The grand dao of blood.” A look of shock glinted across Chen Feng"s eyes. Unexpectedly, this female cultivator with a curvaceous body could cultivate the grand dao of blood to this extent.
Shua! Shua! Shua!
The sound of flowing water then emerged from Chen Feng"s body and starlight flashed around him. In order to take on Xue Luosha"s attack, Chen Feng had also utilized the power of his pseudo-Divine artifacts.
Finally, Xue Luosha retracted her power. Likewise, Chen Feng made use of the opportunity to stop.
“Fellow cultivator, you clearly already possess pseudo-Divine artifacts. Do you still want to s.n.a.t.c.h the treasures of others?” Xue Luosha revealed a charming smile.
Chen Feng replied frostily, “Can it. I have no time to be exchanging deceptive words with you. One pseudo-Divine artifact. Bring it out right now or I will be attacking.”
“Attacking? Humph! Do you think I"m afraid of you?” Xue Luosha finally revealed a wave of killing intent. The words she spoke back then had been for the sake of escaping from her perilous situation. At that very moment, however, there was only one opponent. Xue Luosha would not hesitate to kill him off.
Sou!
Xue Luosha"s arms flashed out and Chen Feng saw a sea of blood charging towards him. Amidst the sea of blood were countless hidden lance silhouettes, near-impossible to guard against.
And that was just on the surface level. Xue Luosha was a high-level True Immortal and her grand dao of blood was not something that could be dealt with easily.
“If you attack, it won"t be just one pseudo-Divine artifact.” There was a smile on Chen Feng"s face and energy streams, black and white in colour, flowed out from his body to form the yin yang symbol, which defended Chen Feng.
Chen Feng did not utilize any magic treasures this time. Instead, he only utilized the power of yin and yang. He wanted to know his limits.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
A world-encompa.s.sing bombardment arrived. Xue Luosha attacked and Chen Feng defended. The yin yang symbol flickered, but it did not break.
“Is this all you have?” Chen Feng laughed.
Seemingly provoked by Chen Feng"s words, the sea of blood abruptly retracted, transforming into a dot. The dot then gathered upon the tip of Xue Luosha"s battle lance and she shouted as she stabbed forward with it to break the yin yang symbol that Chen Feng had created. Suddenly, a mote of starlight flashed out and Xue Luosha felt the battle lance in her hand shake. Due to that, she was forced to retreat.
Light then flashed out from Chen Feng"s eyes and a void storm emerged from them to sweep towards Xue Luosha. In the beginning, the void storm had been clumped together. But it promptly spread out, becoming boundless in breadth, like a true void storm that one would encounter in outer s.p.a.ce.
“A Void Maelstrom!” Xue Luosha was shocked. She furiously swung the battle lance in her hand and the wave of void storm bearing down upon her was immediately cleaved and dispersed.
But even more waves of void storm swept forward. These were no ordinary void storms. They also contained the power of fire, water, lightning, darkness and devastation. It was as though all the fundamental forces had been fused into the void storms.
“What kind of eye technique is this?!” Xue Luosha"s face sank sharply, the battle lance in her hand swinging about non-stop. Although she was still capable of breaking these attacks, the pressure piling on her was becoming increasingly great. Additionally, a foreboding sensation was also growing within her heart.
Chen Feng continued to stand steadily there. His eyes were the only things making a move. They shone without respite. It was as though they were connected to a mysterious part of the universe.
“We"re just getting started.”
Chen Feng chuckled and a strange-looking extrterrestrial creature abruptly charged out from one of his eyes, roaring as it did. With a pounce, it arrived before Xue Luosha.
Bang!
Its attack sent Xue Luosha flying. But thanks to the protection from her red suit of armour, she was not badly wounded. With a swing of her lance, she stabbed the extrterrestrial creature. However, the extrterrestrial creature was like a clump of shadows and it dispersed only to reform itself somewhere far away.
Sou!
A second extrterrestrial creature flew out from Chen Feng"s eyes and the two extrterrestrial creatures flitted in and out of the surrounding void storm, occasionally charging out to send Xue Luosha flying with an attack.
This female cultivator possesses a formidable defensive ability. No wonder she would be able to hold back the five cultivators for so long back then. The red-coloured suit of armour she"s wearing should also be a pseudo-Divine artifact. Chen Feng pushed his eye technique to its limits.
This was Chen Feng"s first time utilizing this eye technique after spending hundreds of years cultivating it. He was very satisfied with this display of might from the eye technique.
Chen Feng had completely fused his eyes with the top-grade Immortal-tier Void Maelstrom and yao eyes that he had obtained in the past. Most importantly, his eye technique had advanced to the Divine Eyes of Heavenly Insight realm.
Like the Longevity Flame, amongst those from the Longevity Clan, only Heavenly Immortals would be able to cultivate out the Divine Eyes of Heavenly Insight. And so, Chen Feng had been constantly making use of his eye technique to witness for himself the power of this eye technique.
An opponent at the high-level True Immortal stage was not something he could find every day. Thus, Chen Feng did not want to let this opportunity slip away.
“I do not believe you can keep on using this eye technique!” Having to take the attacks again and again, Xue Luosha became utterly infuriated. She retracted all of her blood energy and even the fiery-red suit of armour on her slipped into her body. Following that, her aura began climbing, multiplying in strength. Likewise, it seemed as though the power of the battle lance in her hand had become unsealed and Xue Luosha became like a G.o.ddess of War. Wielding the lance, she broke her way through one wave of void storm after another, sweeping aside the two extrterrestrial creatures and carving a path towards Chen Feng.
“Die!”
Xue Luosha"s body seemingly grew even mightier and the battle lance in her hand rang out as it shone with b.l.o.o.d.y light to stab towards Chen Feng"s chest.
Chi! Chi! Chi! Chi! Chi! Chi!
Suddenly, countless silky threads emerged from their surroundings, converging swiftly to swirl around the battle lance and Xue Luosha.
Those were no ordinary threads. They contained the power of s.p.a.ce, soft water, yin and darkness.
It was another result of the years that Chen Feng had spent in cultivation retreat.
And yet, the battle lance continued moving forward, seemingly unaffected by the threads wrapping around it. Only, when it arrived before Chen Feng, a mirror – formed from the power of water – appeared. While thin in appearance, the mirror managed to stop the battle lance, which could only create ripples on the surface of the mirror, incapable of piercing through the water mirror.
Sou! Sou!
Two spiritual lights, one black and one white, flew out from Chen Feng"s eyes to strike Xue Luosha"s body, creating a banging sound as they did. Next, a yin yang symbol appeared to seal Xue Luosha within it.
Flames of energy burned out from Xue Luosha"s body. This was a manifestation of her power of blood, which had reached a certain level. The battle lance in her hand began spinning and a fiery light charged skywards to burn the surrounding threads.
“You still want to fight?”
Two more streams of light flew out from Chen Feng"s eyes. One transformed into a ball of flowing water to envelope Xue Luosha"s battle lance while the other one transformed into a blade to inflict a heavy slash upon Xue Luosha"s body.
Bang!
A b.l.o.o.d.y wound appeared on Xue Luosha"s body and blood flowed down her mouth.
“Do you want to force me to fight to the death here?” Xue Luosha shouted.
Chen Feng did not answer. More threads flew out from his eyes to firmly seal up their surrounding s.p.a.ce. After that, the threads formed ropes to bind Xue Luosha"s limbs.
“Humph!”
Xue Luosha gritted her teeth as she finally chose to utilize a formidable secret technique. A great power rose from within her and her body released a sudden pulse of energy, causing cracks to appear upon the yin yang symbol while the ropes were torn apart.
It was then that Chen Feng attacked. Taking a step forward, he fired a punch forward to send Xue Luosha"s figure flying. Cracks spread across her body only for the fiery-red suit of armour to reappear and stabilize the state of her body.
Boom!
Another punch. Simple, overbearing, effective. Xue Luosha was struck once more and a series of popping sounds rang out from her armour.
Boom!
A third punch. A look of dread appeared on Xue Luosha"s eyes. The punch had extinguished the power burning within her.
Chen Feng waved his hand and a Great Longevity Palm appeared to firmly grip Xue Luosha.
“If I"m not injured, you wouldn"t be my match at all!” Xue Luosha shouted as she continued her attempts to summon her battle lance, wanting to continue the fight. However, her efforts were in vain.
“So, you"ve chosen death,” Chen Feng said coolly.
Xue Luosha"s face sank sharply and she calmed down in the end. Seeing that, Chen Feng felt a secret admiration for the technique she used to calm herself.
“I think we should have a proper discussion,” Xue Luosha said calmly.
“Fine. I can spare your life, but you will need to pay the price for that,” Chen Feng said smilingly.
“Release me first.”
Chen Feng pondered for a moment before retracting the Great Longevity Palm. Once Xue Luosha regained her ability to move, she began summoning her battle lance again. But it was firmly within Chen Feng"s grip. No matter how much it thrummed, it was incapable of extricating itself.
“Fellow cultivator, what do you want? Just state your price.” Xue Luosha sighed.
