Chapter 1816 - 1817: Deserting Before Battle! (2 Updates)
"Heh, naive! In this world, except for yourself, nobody is truly on your side!"
Xue Hong glanced coldly at Ling Feng, then looked at Blood Eagle, scolding harshly, "Useless, you can’t even take down a mere Extreme Human Emperor."
"I... I... this kid, he’s no... not ordinary... splurt—"
Blood Eagle’s shoulder was crushed by Ling Feng and was then thrown heavily. At this moment, his Qi-Blood was churning, and he couldn’t stop vomiting blood, making it difficult for him to speak coherently.
At the same time, Duan Tianya adjusted his breath, flew over, and stood next to Yuee HuaQin, choosing not to engage in the fight.
This self-proclaimed exceptional guy clearly had no intention of helping Ling Feng at all.
"Brother Duan, why did you come over here?"
Yuee HuaQin gritted her silver teeth, glanced at Duan Tianya, and urgently said, "Go help Junior Brother Ling!"
"No worries, I have already consumed most of Xue Hong’s strength just now. Since this kid has some ability, let him take care of it. Hmph, it’s like giving him a bargain!"
Duan Tianya shamelessly carried himself to the extreme, clearly defeated by Xue Hong, yet claimed he had exhausted most of the opponent’s physical strength.
This kind of rhetoric made Yuee HuaQin feel even more contemptuous of Duan Tianya.
Is this guy even considered a man?
"Hmph!"
Seeing Yuee HuaQin’s gaze, Duan Tianya was not moved at all but instead turned his head away, shamelessly saying, "Junior, rest assured, as long as I’m watching, if Ling Feng can’t handle it, I will step in."
Yuee HuaQin laughed coldly in her heart and stopped paying attention to Duan Tianya. No wonder the Heavenly Origin Saint Emperor never valued this disciple. Although Duan Tianya had some talent, regarding character and temperament, he was simply scum.
While Yuee HuaQin and Duan Tianya were talking, Ling Feng had already engaged in battle with Xue Hong.
"Qi Refining Mixed Element Lock, release!"
Faced with Xue Hong, Ling Feng did not dare to hold back, unlocking eleven Qi Refining Mixed Element Locks almost simultaneously. For a moment, Ling Feng’s aura surged to the extreme.
"Interesting!"
Xue Hong’s eyes flickered with cold light, and his Blood Saber moved swiftly, every slash vicious and at tricky angles, seemingly intent on dismembering Ling Feng.
Unlike those powerful saber techniques, the short saber in Xue Hong’s hand changed unpredictably like a Beef Cutting Knife in his palm, each slash carried a ripping force, placing Ling Feng in a tough battle.
Chizz!
Ling Feng’s left shoulder was hit by a slash from Xue Hong, the Blade turned, as if trying to detach Ling Feng’s entire arm.
Clang!
Blood spattered, the Sword Blade clanged as it struck directly on Ling Feng’s shoulder blade, sparking intensely.
Luckily, Ling Feng’s body, tempered by Earth Fire and baptized by Heavenly Thunder, although not a Vajra Body, was several times tougher than that of an ordinary Great Emperor.
This stab, though bone-deep, ultimately didn’t detach Ling Feng’s arm.
"Pretty hard bones, but let’s see how many slashes you can withstand!"
Xue Hong sneered, while Ling Feng possessed strength far surpassing an Extreme Human Emperor, and had unpredictable swordsmanship, but for Xue Hong, an experienced killer, it was still not enough.
After the initial shock, Xue Hong had regained control of the pace.
The pace of dismemberment!
"That ripping force!"
Receiving a slash on his shoulder, a severe pain attacked Ling Feng, yet it made him more calm and clear-headed.
His powerful self-healing ability already began gradually healing his wounds, but he knew his left shoulder could not sustain more damage. Otherwise, no matter how resilient his bones were, they would eventually shatter.
What troubled Ling Feng was when Xue Hong’s Blade struck his Sword Blade, the ripping force would travel upward against the Sword Blade, dissipating his strength.
The formidable Dragon Elephant Divine Power surprisingly became unusable.
Even the rebound force numbed his whole body.
Moreover, Xue Hong’s movement technique was incredibly deceptive, even when retreating into the Void to create distance and launch attacks with Divine Sense, Xue Hong was like a Shadow, always sticking within a three-foot range.
Under the fierce storm-like offensives, for the first time, Ling Feng felt a sense of helplessness.
Not because the opponent had a crushing absolute strength, but because the opponent had such rich combat experience!
Perhaps the reason Blood Eagle was easily defeated wasn’t that he was too weak, but because he was too careless and underestimated the enemy.
"Hehehe..."
Xue Hong chuckled, "Kid, do you now understand? There’s an insurmountable chasm between you and me! Blood Letter Killers emerge from Corpse Mountain and Blood Sea, not something a sect disciple who grows in a greenhouse can compare to!"
"Under my knife, dismember!"
Clang!
Another slash came down, Ling Feng blocked with his sword, yet was forced back several steps. Xue Hong’s figure flickered, approaching again, another slash aimed at Ling Feng’s abdomen.
Chizz!
The sound of fabric tearing echoed, along with the blood-soaked sword blade being withdrawn, crimson blood spilling forth.
"Hahahahaha!"
Xue Hong laughed maniacally, as Ling Feng, drenched in blood from head to toe, nearly dyed completely red, like a man of blood.
However, from start to end, Ling Feng’s gaze remained unchanged, as resolute as ever.
"Kid, your eyes are quite displeasing!"
Xue Hong snorted coldly, wiped the blood off the sword blade, and said coolly, "It’s about time to end this, kid. I will gouge your eyes out. But rest assured, I’ll leave a breath in you! Alive, you’re worth more than dead! Hehehe—"
"No!"
Yuee HuaQin couldn’t hold back any longer, witnessing Ling Feng bathed in blood, covered in Scars throughout his body, she immediately drew her Sword, ready to rush forward and lend Ling Feng a hand.
However, before she could charge forward, she was firmly held back by Duan Tianya.
"Junior, as long as the green hills remain, there’s no worry for lack of firewood! Xue Hong still has hidden strength, we’re not his match; let’s run!"
Duan Tianya said with a serious expression, dragging Yuee HuaQin, intending to flee.
"If you want to run, then run, I’m going to help Junior Brother Ling!"
Yuee HuaQin shook off Duan Tianya’s arm, swung her Sword Edge, and soared to charge into the battle circle.
"Apologies, Junior, I won’t watch you throw your life away!"
Duan Tianya raised his hand and struck, directly knocking Yuee HuaQin unconscious, scooped her up and vanished like smoke.
"Hahaha, how pathetic!"
Xue Hong looked towards where Duan Tianya fled, not making any effort to stop him, instead coldly smiling at Ling Feng, saying smugly, "Well, it seems your so-called prestigious sects aren’t all that, are they? Hahaha!"
