Chapter 364 He's Dead Now [5k]

Deep within the misty forest lies a secluded valley shrouded in thick, white miasma.

The valley is densely vegetated and filled with strangely shaped rocks.

A waterfall plunges from a hundred-foot cliff, crashing into a deep pool below. The roar of the water drowns out many subtle sounds.

Behind the waterfall, a natural cave hidden by vines can be vaguely seen.

now.

Three figures moved silently, like ghosts, to the cliff opposite the waterfall.

Using the shadow of a boulder, we observed the cave behind the waterfall from a distance.

It was Yue Changkong, Reiches, and Mendeleev.

Yue Changkong, dressed in a green robe, held a long spear across his knees. His aura blended almost seamlessly with the surrounding rocks. His eyes were sharp as an eagle's as he stared intently at the cave entrance behind the waterfall.

Reichers half-squatted on the ground, his fingertips lightly touching the ground, and extremely subtle ripples spread out from him, as if he were sensing something.

His face was cold and stern, and the blue flames dancing in his eyes added a touch of ferocity.

Mendeleev leaned against a rock, toying with several seeds of different colors and strange smells in his hand.

His nostrils twitched slightly from time to time, as if he were analyzing the residual odor information in the air.

"The residual Qi and blood are very faint, but very pure; it is definitely of the lightning attribute."

Moreover, there was a sense of agitation and violence in his expression—he was seriously injured and was undergoing intensive treatment.

Mendeleev said in a low voice, his voice carrying a distinctive rolled "r".

Reichels withdrew his finger and said coldly, "Go all out and finish this in thirty seconds."

Yue Changkong shook his head slightly: "No rush. Intelligence shows that Lei Fei is cunning and suspicious."

Although this place is secluded, given his character, he may still have a backup plan.

Let's observe further, and wait—"

Before he finished speaking, the three of them simultaneously sensed something and suddenly looked up towards the entrance of the valley!

Swish!

A figure plummeted from the sky without any attempt at concealment.

The newcomer was tall and imposing with a stern face; it was none other than Xu Feng!

"No need to observe anymore, he already discovered you."

"Xu Feng?!"

Yue Changkong was startled at first, then breathed a sigh of relief.

But Reichs and Mendeleev did not know Xu Feng.

They had only recently heard of the name and knew that he was a young war god who had made great contributions.

However, there is no intuitive concept of its specific strength.

Upon seeing Xu Feng, he shamelessly claimed that Lei Fei had already discovered them.

A hint of displeasure flashed in Reiches' eyes.

"Xu Feng? You're the Xu Feng who caused quite a stir among the alien races?"

Reichers' tone was scrutinizing.

"You say he discovered us a long time ago? What's your basis for that? We've made our way here stealthily, and we're confident we haven't made any mistakes."

Mendeleev also frowned and said, "Comrade Xu Feng, this matter is of great importance."

If your misjudgment alerts Lei Fei and he escapes, who will bear the responsibility?

Xu Feng glanced at them, offered no explanation, and simply said to Yue Changkong, "Let's go first, leave this to me."

His tone was calm, yet carried an undeniable certainty.

Reiches laughed in exasperation: "Give it to you? Xu Feng, we know you have some skills, but Lei Fei is someone who can fight against Senior Qin Shanhe."

Even if you are seriously injured, you alone cannot easily deal with it.

Only when the four of us work together can we be confident. In your Xia language, don't be reckless and ruin things!

Yue Changkong, however, understood Xu Feng better than they did, and trusted Xu Feng's judgment more.

He tugged at Reichs and whispered, "Listen to him, let's get out of here first."

"Brother Yue!" Reichers asked, puzzled.

"Trust me," Yue Changkong said firmly, looking at Xu Feng, "Be careful."

Xu Feng nodded slightly.

Yue Changkong no longer hesitated, and gave a wink to Reichs and Mendeleev, who were still somewhat unconvinced, signaling them to follow.

Although Reiches and his companion were feeling frustrated.

Seeing Yue Changkong's resolute attitude, he could only glare at Xu Feng before preparing to leave as well.

However, just as they were about to move, a voice said, "Leave? Since you're here, stay."

A deep, hoarse voice, yet containing a terrifying, thunderous pressure, suddenly came from the cave behind the waterfall!

Boom!

The waterfall exploded!

A figure wreathed in dazzling purple lightning appeared as if Thor had descended upon the world.

He stepped out of the cave and suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

It was Lei Fei!

His bare upper body was muscular and his skin was dark purple with lightning patterns running through it, exuding a powerful and vast aura.

Where is there even the slightest sign of injury or weakness?!

Purple lightning crackled in his eyes as he coldly swept over the four people on the cliff.

Finally, the image focuses on Xu Feng, a ferocious and cruel smile curving his lips.

"I was hoping to catch a big fish, but I ended up attracting a few small shrimp, and there was also an unexpected surprise."

His gaze lingered on Xu Feng's face for a moment, seemingly puzzled.

Yue Changkong, Reiches, and Mendeleev's expressions changed drastically!

Lei Fei wasn't injured at all!

This is a trap!

"Oh no! We've fallen into their trap!" Yue Changkong's heart sank.

Reichest and Mendeleev instantly entered battle mode.

He drew his weapon, held the medicine powder in his hand, and stared intently at Lei Fei.

They could clearly feel the suffocating pressure emanating from each other.

This is definitely not the Lei Fei who "escaped with serious injuries" as reported in the intelligence!

Lei Fei's gaze lingered on Yue Changkong and the other two for a moment before landing on Xu Feng.

His gaze was initially filled with doubt, then turned into scrutiny.

Finally, the image focuses on the seventy-two thin, cicada-wing-like throwing knives with blades gleaming with a pale golden light that quietly appeared behind Xu Feng!

The throwing knives hovered in mid-air, like living golden feathers, trembling slightly.

Lei Fei's pupils suddenly contracted to the size of pinpoints!

"This throwing knife—a golden feather?!"

He let out a low growl, his voice filled with disbelief and rage.

"No, this aura—it's the work of a human spiritualist!"

You—you killed Kaneki?! You stole his belongings?!

He stared intently at Xu Feng, his eyes flashing with purple lightning.

Kaneki!

The new Seventh Peak Master whom he hated to the core, yet had to acknowledge his talent and potential!

Lei Fei had always believed that Jin Mu had died in the siege of the Great Xia human race, or had perished for some other reason.

But he never expected this.

Kaneki's signature ability, "Golden Feathers," has unexpectedly appeared in a human genius!

Moreover, it is driven by mental power!

The only explanation is that Jinmu was killed by this person, and his innate supernatural power or related treasures were seized and refined by this person!

"Good! Very good!"

Lei Fei laughed in anger, and lightning suddenly erupted around him, with purple arcs of electricity surging wildly, making him look like a thunder god descending to earth.

"I originally intended to use Qin Shanhe's head to announce my return!"

Unexpectedly, the murderer who killed Kaneki has delivered himself to our doorstep! You must be the human genius Xu Feng, right?

"Fine, I'll use you as a sacrifice for the flag first, then I'll settle accounts with Qin Shanhe!"

Xu Feng was inwardly both amused and exasperated, but outwardly remained completely calm.

Boom!

The ground beneath Lei Fei's feet cracked, sending shards of rock flying. He transformed into a streak of purple lightning that tore through the sky, instantly traversing dozens of feet and delivering a punch straight at Xu Feng's face.

On the fist, purple lightning condensed into a ferocious thunder beast's head, its huge mouth opening as if to devour everything!

This punch, unleashed with rage, seemed to be three times stronger than when he fought Qin Shanhe before!

He seemed to only have eyes for Xu Feng, completely ignoring Yue Changkong and the other two beside him.

The three of them, Yue Changkong and his companions, changed their expressions drastically and instinctively wanted to step forward to help.

But at the same time, Xu Feng's voice rang in their minds: "Get back!"

at the same time.

Facing this thunderous fist powerful enough to collapse mountains, Xu Feng neither dodged nor evaded. He raised his right hand, spread his five fingers, and gently pressed it towards the void in front of him.

Om-!

Seventy-two pale gold throwing knives transformed into a sky full of golden light.

Like a galaxy rolling backwards, or a roc spreading its wings, it tore through the sky and poured down towards the destructive thunderstorm!

clang--!!!

Thunder Fist slammed fiercely into the golden river of blades!

It erupted with a deafening roar, a hundred times louder than the roar of a waterfall!

The terrifying shockwave exploded in a ring, carving a deep trench in the ground and sending waves several meters high into the water!

Xu Feng remained motionless, as if facing a gentle breeze.

The river of light formed by the flying knife flickered, yet it managed to block Lei Fei's angry punch.

It even shredded most of the lightning energy on Lei Quan's fist!

"What?!"

A look of shock flashed across Lei Fei's eyes.

Although he didn't use his full strength, his punch was enough to severely injure an ordinary ultimate warrior.

Xu Feng actually caught it so casually? And he used a flying knife formation that resembled a defensive move?!

Yue Changkong and the other two were completely dumbfounded.

They knew Xu Feng was strong, but they didn't expect him to be this strong.

How could he hold his own against Lei Fei in his prime?

"You've got some skill; no wonder you were able to kill Kaneki."

Lei Fei's eyes grew even colder, but his killing intent intensified.

"However, that's enough!"

His arms trembled, and the lightning patterns all over his body suddenly shone brightest!

"Thor's true form—activate!"

boom!

His body swelled up again.

The skin completely transformed into a purplish-black metallic color.

Countless thick purple electric snakes shot out from his pores, weaving together to form a thunderous armor around his body!

A three-headed, six-armed, five-zhang-tall phantom of a thunder demon god materialized behind him, roaring silently to the sky!

"To die beneath my complete Thor form is your honor!"

Lei Fei's voice was like a thunderclap, and he clenched his fists loosely.

Two giant axes, formed entirely from raging lightning, appeared in his hands.

"Thunder Prison Heavenly Punishment - Slash!"

The two axes struck simultaneously! It was as if they had summoned thunder from the heavens!

Two purple axe-shaped beams, each over ten feet in diameter and wreathed in countless electric snakes, crossed in a cross shape, tearing through space.

It came hurtling towards Xu Feng.

Wherever it passed, the air was ionized, emitting a pungent, burnt smell.

The ground was scorched by the escaping lightning energy, leaving two charred grooves!

This strike.

It has already surpassed the scope of ordinary War God Realm, and is infinitely close to the power of a casual strike from Star God Realm!

Yue Changkong and the other two felt their hair stand on end, as if they had been swept by the aftershocks of the axe's energy, causing their blood and qi to become stagnant.

They asked themselves, faced with this attack, there was absolutely no possibility of taking it head-on except to desperately dodge it!

"Get out of the way!"

However, only a hint of disappointment flashed in Xu Feng's eyes.

But it was only a trace.

His mind raced, his blood and qi surged like the Yangtze River, and the divine fire in his sea of ​​consciousness suddenly shone brightly!

"Since you've used your real skills—then I'll be a little more serious too."

Xu Feng murmured, and his pale golden aura suddenly erupted!

hum!

The pale gold blade wheel suddenly disintegrated, and the seventy-two throwing knives flew back to their nest like golden bees.

In an instant, they flew back behind him, layer upon layer, forming a pair of enormous "wings" made entirely of golden throwing knives!

Its wingspan was three zhang (approximately 10 meters), and with a gentle flap, it stirred up a fierce gale!

At the same time, Xu Feng's figure also grew slightly taller, and the light golden patterns under his skin seemed to come alive, with the faint sound of a roc's long roar coming from his body!

Heavenly Roc Sacred Body!

"Flying Star - Broken Moon!"

Xu Feng suddenly folded his wings forward!

The wings, composed of seventy-two throwing knives, instantly transformed into two dazzling golden torrents.

Like two divine blades tearing through the heavens and earth, they crossed and slashed at the incoming thunderous cross-shaped axe energy!

This time, it's no longer about defense, but the ultimate offensive!

At the same time, the light of Xu Feng's sword suddenly burst forth, reaching a length of forty zhang, and crashing across most of the valley!

The metal element is sharp and fierce, like thunder!

Attack against attack!

Rumble! ...

An explosion ten times more terrifying than before erupted in the valley!

The blinding golden and purple light overwhelmed everyone's vision!

The violent energy turbulence swept outwards like a tsunami, cutting the waterfall in half.

The blast created a huge crater in the deep pool, causing the cliffs on both sides to tremble violently and countless boulders to tumble down!

Yue Changkong and the other two had to do their best to raise their protective qi and retreat repeatedly to barely avoid being severely injured by the terrifying aftershocks.

In an instant.

In the center of the valley, a giant pit with a diameter of more than thirty feet appeared.

The soil at the bottom of the pit was scorched black, emitting wisps of smoke, and still retained traces of violent thunder and sharp blade energy.

Xu Feng hovered above the side of the pit, his golden blade wings trembling slightly without any change.

On the other side, Lei Fei stood at the edge of the pit, his Thunder Armor mostly shattered.

He had more than a dozen deep knife wounds on his body, the bone of which was visible.

Blood of purplish-black flowed from his body, and the Thunder Axe in his hand was reduced to half.

He stared intently at Xu Feng, his eyes filled with horror, anger, and a hint of—unbelievable fear.

In that exchange of blows just now, he actually—was at a disadvantage?!

This human named Xu Feng not only possesses ridiculously strong mental power, but his physical body is also terrifyingly powerful!

"Who are you?!" Lei Fei asked hoarsely, his voice distorted with shock and anger.

Xu Feng slowly retracted his blade wings, and the seventy-two flying knives transformed into streams of light and disappeared into his body.

He landed back on the ground and walked step by step toward Lei Fei: "The one who killed you."

"Want to kill me? Dream on!"

A look of madness flashed in Lei Fei's eyes, and he suddenly slapped his chest.

He spat out a mouthful of purplish-black blood essence, which merged into the remaining lightning!

Simultaneously.

A jewel shimmering with green light appeared in his hand.

As soon as the pearl appeared, it exuded a strong vitality.

Lei Fei then threw it into his mouth.

Immediately, his injuries began to heal rapidly!

"With my lifeblood, I offer this as a sacrifice to my Thunder Elixir! Across the nine heavens and ten earths, thunderous fury will slay gods!"

He was actually going to burn his very essence and unleash a forbidden technique!

However, just as his aura surged again and he was about to complete the forbidden technique, Xu Feng's figure appeared in front of him like a ghost without warning!

Lei Fei's pupils contracted sharply as the activation of the forbidden technique was interrupted!

Immediately afterwards, he saw Xu Feng throw a punch.

That fist contained a destructive aura that made his soul tremble!

The Heavenly Roc Soars to the Sky with a Dragon-Slaying Technique!

boom!

With just one punch, Lei Fei crashed through two mountains and flew out of the valley.

When he regained his footing, his face was filled with shock and anger: "Heavenly Roc Soaring Dragon Technique! How do you know the Heavenly Roc Soaring Dragon Technique?!"

Immediately upon seeing Xu Feng, who was drifting towards him with an arrogant expression, a terrifying thought instantly sent chills down his spine.

Kaneki... Xu Feng.

All the doubts suddenly became clear at that moment.

Kaneki is Xu Feng.

Xu Feng is Kaneki!

"Looks like you guessed it," Xu Feng said with a smirk, "but unfortunately, there's no reward."

boom!

Qi and blood surge!

Unleash your full telekinetic power!

Full battle commenced!

The Chaos Pearl opens!

Xu Feng moved instantly, his blade flashing.

Lei Fei fought back desperately, but was blasted away again.

Baozhu was powerful, but he simply didn't have time to heal his injuries.

Whether it's movement techniques, swordsmanship, strength, mental power, or even Xu Feng's still-developing aura, he completely overwhelmed Lei Fei!

boom!

boom!

boom!

One cut after another.

The dignified Master of Lei Jue Peak was slashed by Xu Feng from one end of the valley to the other like a sandbag.

Whenever Lei Jue tried to withdraw and recover, he would be interrupted by an extremely strong psychic force.

"puff!"

Until a certain cut.

The enormous head flew into the air, and only then did Xu Feng calmly sheathe his sword.

The blade flashed, severing Lei Fei's raised arms and decapitating him.

Cut off everything it relies on.

boom!

As the headless corpse fell, it kicked up a cloud of dust.

The valley was deathly silent.

Only the waterfall resumed its flow, making a rushing sound.

Yue Changkong, Reiches, and Mendeleev stood frozen in place, as if petrified.

He stared blankly at the young figure standing beside Lei Fei's corpse.

That was an almost crushing—end.

Throughout the entire process, Xu Feng only used two and a half moves.

One move was a flying knife, the other was a direct counterattack.

Finally, chasing after someone with a sword can't even be considered a move—it's only... half a move.

Lei Fei, who was at his peak and might even have made a breakthrough, just like that—died?

So relaxed, so casual?

Reichest and Mendeleev finally understood why Yue Changkong trusted this man so much.

This is a power that is simply beyond their comprehension!

Xu Feng bent down and removed an antique-looking storage ring from Lei Fei's finger.

After rummaging around in his pocket for a moment, he pulled out a strange crystal about the size of a palm, purplish-black in color, with what appeared to be lightning moving inside.

Of course, there was also the green jewel in its mouth.

Finally, of course, was Lei Fei's corpse.

"Such abundant vitality? No wonder his injuries healed so quickly—"

Xu Feng did not recognize this object.

But it's clear that this item gave Lei Fei the confidence to ambush Qin Shanhe.

Unfortunately, now they've all benefited themselves.

After putting his things away, Xu Feng turned to look at Yue Changkong and the other two.

"This place is not safe to stay any longer. I'll be leaving now. Goodbye."

Yue Changkong took a deep breath, suppressing his shock, and nodded: "Okay."

Before leaving, Xu Feng hesitated for a moment, then tossed something to Yue Changkong.

"These two pills, one can be used to condense one's energy, and the other can be used to refine one's body. Keep them safe."

Yue Changkong was stunned for a moment. Before he could react, he saw Xu Feng leap into the air and disappear from the spot.

Reichers and Mendeleev swallowed hard, watched Xu Feng fly away, and then immediately surrounded Yue Changkong.

"Just what is his strength?"

Yue Changkong looked in the direction Xu Feng had left, a strange light flashing in his eyes: "To be honest, I don't understand it either, but I'm afraid he's already approaching the Star God Realm."

"How does his strength compare to Qin Shanhe of your Great Xia?"

Mendeleev asked in shock.

Yue Changkong smiled wryly and said, "Do I look like I know?"

He then gave a brief account of what Hsu Feng was like.

Reichers exclaimed in astonishment, "Is he really a human? According to you, he's only been rising to prominence for a few years?"

"Then what am I, a genius born with divine weapons in my mouth, compared to him?"

Yue Changkong touched his nose and chuckled softly, "Perhaps... this is the true genius?"

As he said this, he gripped the elixir bottle tightly in his hand, and a strange look appeared in his eyes.

He felt that he was getting further and further away from Xu Feng.

......
