Fox Demon: The villain at the beginning

Chapter 418 Breaking the Sword, Giving Instructions

Jin Renfeng was already a quasi-demon emperor who cultivated both body and spirit. Now, with the Divine Flame Wings, his movement speed is even more astonishing.

Even when facing the sword energy head-on, he could still dodge it with ease.

bang bang bang-

A series of muffled thuds rang out one after another.

At breakneck speed, Jin Renfeng seemed to transform into countless afterimages.

In the blink of an eye, he brutally injured more than a dozen elders with his fists and feet, leaving them paralyzed on the ground.

"Stop, you villain!"

Seeing his elders injured again, the Zhang family patriarch's eyes widened in fury. He hurriedly activated the formation, summoned flying swords, and stabbed towards Jin Renfeng.

Jin Renfeng casually unleashed a streak of divine fire, then dodged it again before the sword energy reached him.

His golden-red wings transformed into a streak of light in the air, and with a leap, he arrived in front of a tall figure.

"I never expected that General Zhang would also lay a hand on me."

Looking at the person in front of him, Jin Renfeng said coldly.

"I have no choice but to obey the patriarch's orders!"

Zhang An sighed, looked up at the person in front of him, his gaze complex.

"The old general should know what I'm about to do?"

Jin Renfeng extended his right hand and said coldly,
"For the sake of our past relationship, I won't lay a hand on you."

"Hand over the last great demon king sword!"

"I'm afraid I cannot comply!"

Zhang An held his sword horizontally in front of him and said sternly.
"The sword in my hand is related to the inheritance of my family. No matter what, I will not hand it over just like that."

"Then I'll have to do it myself!"

Jin Renfeng spoke calmly and stepped forward.

Zhang An shouted loudly, and with a swing of his long sword, a hundred crimson sword energies shot out, piercing towards the opposite side.

Faced with the incoming sword energy, Jin Renfeng shook his head, waved his sleeve, and a streak of flame swept through the air, deflecting the hundred sword energies.

For him now, ordinary powerful demon kings are no match at all.

"The sword intent techniques that I once thought were unfathomable are now quite rudimentary!"

Jin Renfeng sighed inwardly.

When he was young, he was quite surprised to see General Zhang use his sword intent technique.

Looking back now, it was just some ordinary methods.

Seeing that the sword energy was ineffective, Zhang An's expression changed, and he immediately turned to flee.

However, Jin Renfeng had already arrived in front of him.

Golden flames swirled in his palm, transforming into a massive hand three zhang long, which pressed down horizontally.

It was like a net covering the sky and the earth, enveloping Zhang An within it.

"Stop, you villains!"

At that moment, the head of the Zhang family flew over, channeling countless sword energies, and thrust them straight at Jin Renfeng.

With others stopping him, Zhang An immediately leaped into the air and escaped from the giant fiery palm.

boom--

The crimson sword energy pierced through Jin Renfeng's figure and crashed onto the ground.

"That kid is dead?"

Upon seeing this, the Zhang family patriarch was stunned.

He couldn't believe that he could severely injure him with a casual move.

However, the figure in sight slowly disappeared the next moment.

"not good!"

The Zhang family patriarch realized that what he had just been struck by the sword energy was merely an afterimage.

He turned his head and scanned his surroundings, only to find that Jin Renfeng had caught up with Zhang An again.

"General Zhang! Don't run away!"

Jin Renfeng stepped forward, his golden-red wings constantly emitting points of light.

"You can't escape my grasp."

"You'd better just hand over that magic weapon obediently!"

"Don't even think about asking me to hand over my sword!"

Zhang An said coldly, then turned around and continued sprinting into the distance.

Knowing he was no match for them, he chose to flee immediately.

"Since the old general insists on this, then this junior has no choice but to offend you!"

After saying that, Jin Renfeng flapped his wings and moved like lightning, instantly overtaking Zhang An and blocking his path.

Flames swirled in his palm as he raised his hand and struck directly at the chest.

Seeing the palm coming at him, Zhang An immediately raised his sword to block, but the palm turned into a finger and struck the side of the sword blade.

A powerful force traveled along the sword and invaded Zhang An's arm.

His arm trembled violently, and the sword slipped from his hand involuntarily.

"My sword!"

Zhang An shouted.

Jin Renfeng raised his hand and, one step ahead of everyone else, grabbed the sword in his hand.

He then gripped the hilt with his left hand and placed his right hand on the blade.

"Elder Jin, please, for the sake of our past friendship, do not break this sword!"

Upon seeing this, Zhang An pleaded urgently.

"This sword is the only remaining great demon king magic weapon of my Zhang family. If it is destroyed, I'm afraid my Zhang family will not even be able to protect the borders and keep the people safe."

"My Zhang family has offended you, so it's not unjust that we've suffered this calamity. But what have those thousands of people done wrong?"

Upon hearing this, Jin Renfeng paused slightly with both hands, then exerted force with both arms without any mercy.

collapse--

The magic sword emitted a metallic cracking sound. The sturdy blade was easily broken by him, as if it were a rotten wooden stick.

The remaining magical power in the longsword transformed into a ripple, spreading outwards and causing the clothes of the two people to flutter.

After breaking his longsword, Jin Renfeng threw the two broken pieces on the ground.

boom--

The metal blade collided with the broken edge, producing a dull thud.

"My sword!"

Zhang An picked up the precious sword from the ground and cried out in pain.

This great demon king's sword has been with him for decades since he inherited it.

Having escaped death several times and fought life-or-death battles, he had long since developed a deep affection for it.

Now that it has been forcibly broken, it is as if one's limbs have been severed.

"You evil thief!"

The Zhang family patriarch stepped between the two men. Seeing yet another powerful demon king's magic weapon destroyed, his eyes turned bloodshot, and he pointed at Jin Renfeng, cursing angrily.
"You're not even willing to let go of the last great demon king magic weapon of my Zhang family?"

"Since you've attacked me, you should be prepared to suffer the consequences!"

Jin Renfeng said coldly.

"You villain! Today I will surely kill you!"
Upon hearing this, the Zhang family patriarch roared furiously.

"Kill me! Then try and see!"

Jin Renfeng stood with his hands behind his back, his sharp eyes looking at the old man in front of him without showing any weakness.

"Here comes the sword!"

The head of the Zhang family, looking like a madman, let out a loud shout.

Thousands of sword energies surged from the sky, transforming into a massive vortex that swirled around him.

"Gather!"

He raised the black sword in his hand, and countless sword energies danced and gathered on its blade.

Tens of thousands of sword energies merged into one, and a crimson sword light soared into the sky, instantly forming a sword energy over a hundred feet long.

"You villain, take this Bloodthirsty Sword Qi!"

The Zhang family patriarch swung his arm down heavily, and the sword energy immediately slashed towards Jin Renfeng.

Seeing the hundred-foot sword energy approaching, Jin Renfeng neither dodged nor avoided it. Divine fire swirled around his body, transforming into a golden-red protective shield that blocked his path.

clang--

With a tremendous roar, the crimson sword energy struck the protective barrier directly.

The sharp blade raged, relentlessly destroying the pure Yang Flame before it.

However, faced with that solid protective layer of flames, the sword energy only managed to break through a shallow layer of flames before losing all its power to advance.

"how is this possible?"

The Zhang family patriarch looked astonished. "How could my sword energy be completely ineffective against you?"

Jin Renfeng snorted coldly and stepped forward.

As he continued to advance, the sword energy in front of him was immediately suppressed by the flames protecting him.

For every step Jin Renfeng takes forward, the sword energy must retreat one step.

The Zhang family patriarch gritted his teeth and desperately poured his magic power into the black sword in his hand, but it was all in vain.

Snapped--

In the fierce battle, the hundred-foot-long sword energy began to shatter inch by inch from the blade's edge.

Ultimately, it turned into countless fragments of magical power, which drifted away.

"Impossible! Impossible!"

Seeing the sword energy shatter, the Zhang family patriarch looked terrified. He immediately mobilized the power of the formation to condense sword energy.

The hundred-foot-long sword energy slashed down once more.

Jin Renfeng stretched out his palm and grabbed it.

Snapped--

Before that fiery palm, the hundred-foot-long Bloodthirsty Sword Qi was like fragile glass, shattered with a single blow.

Staring at the shattered fragments of sword energy before him, the Zhang family patriarch was dazed, as if he had lost his soul.

He knew he had lost. The moment his sword energy was shattered by Jin Renfeng, he was powerless against the villain in front of him.

"why?"

The Zhang family patriarch spoke with difficulty.

"My killing formation was once evenly matched with yours, so why is it so vulnerable now?"

Jin Renfeng stood in front of the Zhang family patriarch and said calmly.

"No matter what kind of formation it is, it is all about concentrating the strength of everyone in order to become stronger."

"I severely injured those elders before in order to weaken the power of your formation."

"Without the support of the array's core, the Blood Slaughtering Demon Array has long lost its power as a quasi-demon emperor."

"What are you fighting with me for?"

"So you had this planned all along!"

The head of the Zhang family looked at Jin Renfeng with a disappointed expression, and his whole appearance aged considerably.

The fact that the opponent immediately launched a direct attack after destroying three powerful demon king artifacts clearly indicates that they had already calculated the power of the Demon-Slaying Array.
This time, he lost completely.

Not only did he fail to seize the great demon king's magic weapon as expected and lead his family to further progress, but he also dragged his entire clan into the abyss with him.

"I have lost. Do with me as you see fit!"

The head of the Zhang family said indifferently, his tone devoid of any interest.

Jin Renfeng strode forward, his footsteps echoing across the open space like the piercing sounds of hell.

"Logically speaking, since you attacked my junior sister, I should have cut you into a thousand pieces."

The man's words were icy, seemingly carrying boundless murderous intent.

"However, considering General Zhang's kindness in passing on his sword to me back then, I will spare your life!"

"You won't kill me?"

The Zhang family patriarch was taken aback, somewhat unprepared.

Jin Renfeng nodded.

Although he wished he could kill the old man in front of him on the spot, he ultimately had to consider the consequences.

For him now, killing the head of a top-tier family would bring him no benefit whatsoever.

Not only will it bring trouble to myself, but it will also affect my master, causing the entire Shenhuo Mountain Manor to fall into the crossfire of the Dao Alliance families.

Therefore, he had no choice but to let it go for the time being.

Upon hearing this, the Zhang family patriarch breathed a sigh of relief.

Survival is a life instinct.

If there's a chance to live, no one wants to deliberately seek death.

"However, death penalty can be avoided, but living crime cannot be avoided!"

Suddenly, Jin Renfeng changed the subject. He raised his right hand, and pure Yang Flame condensed into a sword, severing an arm in response.

A golden light flashed, and a large amount of blood splattered out.

The head of the Zhang family clutched his left shoulder, collapsed to the ground, and howled in pain.

Intense pain swept through his body, causing every muscle in his body to twitch.

"I'll cut off your arm as a warning to others!"

Jin Renfeng said calmly, slowly putting away the flames in his hand.

"Homeowner!"

Seeing that the patriarch was injured, Zhang An flew over from the side and went to check on him.

"I'm fine!"

The Zhang family patriarch spoke with difficulty, his aged face devoid of any color.

He struggled to sit up from the ground.

Although the flames had severed his arm, the high temperature had sealed the wound at the cut, so he didn't have to worry about blood loss.

The old man stared at Jin Renfeng with eyes full of hatred.

"Why did it have to come to this!"

Looking at the miserable patriarch, Zhang An shook his head helplessly.

In reality, the Zhang family and Shenhuoshan Manor had no fundamental conflict whatsoever.

Previously, the Zhang family belonged to a neutral faction and had no conflict with Shenhuoshan Manor from beginning to end.

Even if the Zhang family has now joined the royal faction, they are simply serving different masters. There's absolutely no need for them to fight to the death.

"After all the commotion, all the great demon king treasures of the family were destroyed."

"It's really a losing proposition!"

Zhang An sighed.

"In the end, it was the head of the family who became greedy and lost his mind!"
"You didn't faint? You do have some willpower!"
Jin Renfeng nodded and said calmly.

"But that's perfect, I need you to do something for me!"

"You've ruined me like this, and you still expect me to do things for you?"

The head of the Zhang family said in disbelief.

"What I need to instruct is about your Zhang family's affairs; it wouldn't be right for me to overstep my bounds."

Jin Renfeng stared at the old man, his words carrying an unquestionable tone.

Under the pressure of that gaze, the Zhang family patriarch involuntarily lowered his eyes.

"The patriarch is injured and his mind is not quite clear right now. If there's anything you need, just let me know!"

Zhang An interjected from the side.

The young man in front of him was far too terrifying. The Zhang family's three great demon king magic treasures were now damaged and they were on the verge of extinction. He really didn't want the family head to have any further conflict with him.

Jin Renfeng nodded and said slowly.

"First and foremost, as you just saw, I broke three of your family's great demon king flying swords."

Upon hearing this, the head of the Zhang family immediately turned bloodshot.

The destruction of the three great demon king's magical treasures was their biggest loss this time.

These words were clearly rubbing salt into the wounds of the Zhang family.

"But in reality, I only broke those three great demon king magic weapons; I didn't damage their fundamental structure."

Jin Renfeng continued,

"Even the Xiao family can repair magic weapons, so it shouldn't be difficult for your Zhang family to repair them either, it will just take more time."

"In the days to come, I hope you will devote the strength of your entire clan to repairing the magical artifact."

"Do not get involved in foreign affairs!"

Upon hearing this, the Zhang family patriarch's eyes widened suddenly, and he forgot all about his previous hatred.

"You mean my Zhang family's magical artifacts can be repaired?"

He asked eagerly.

"That's natural!"

Jin Renfeng nodded.

"I didn't use divine fire to reforge the magic weapon."

The Zhang family patriarch and Zhang An exchanged a glance, their faces beaming with ecstatic joy.

The Great Demon King's magic weapon is the foundation of the Zhang family.

The destruction of three great demon king flying swords was a loss that even a top family like theirs could not withstand.

As a result, the family may even fall from being a first-class family, and its status will be greatly weakened.
