Ximen Qing blocked Xiao Feng's path. His eyes were bloodshot, and his hair was disheveled, but whether it was because he was facing Xiao Feng, he still put on an indifferent expression.

The first thing that surged in Xiao Feng's heart upon seeing him wasn't despair, but a hatred that filled his soul!

Qi Panjian, Huo Ling'er, Huo Rulie, Situ Hao, Situ Yao... one by one, they lost their lives before his eyes, without even a complete corpse left behind!

"Hahaha..." Gazing at Xiao Feng's hate-filled eyes, he actually burst out laughing. "I just love seeing that expression on your face... I just love seeing you wanting to kill me, but being unable to, in such a miserable state!"

"Xiao Feng, ah, Xiao Feng... do you know why I've kept you alive until now? It's because I want you to witness, with your own eyes, the deaths of those you cherish! I want to see you powerless! And your resentment at your own incompetence!"

"You should thank me... otherwise, you would already be one of countless lost souls."

"Speaking of which, I'd like to know where your Ling'er jie ran off to. After all, in my original plan, the last one to die in front of you should have been your dear sister... hahaha!"

"But what I didn't expect was that you two have actually become husband and wife. He really hit the mark with that one... after all, what could be more interesting than ravaging your wife while you can only watch on the sidelines, impotently enraged?"

"How about this, you hand Qi Qingyun over to me, and maybe I'll take pity on you and let you go. After all, you're someone who can scrape out a win against me."

"What do you think?"

His tone was calm, and he didn't make a move himself, only blocking Xiao Feng's escape route. To him, killing Xiao Feng would only relieve his anger for a moment, while what he wanted was to humiliate Xiao Feng thoroughly!

"Kill me..." Qi Qingyun whispered in Xiao Feng's arms.

Xiao Feng didn't answer. He sensed Qi Qingyun's physical condition. Now, under the healing of his Miracle of Life, the injuries she sustained from forcibly activating the Heaven Severing Sword were still severe, but no longer fatal.

He lowered the hatred in his eyes, his gaze softening with tenderness. A faint smile appeared on his lips. "Qingyun, promise me, no matter what happens... live well... okay?"

Before she could answer, his Mystic Force suddenly gathered, and he slammed it fiercely into her core...

Her undefended body, the sudden impact of Mystic Force, coupled with her extremely serious injuries, left Qi Qingyun with no ability to react, and she immediately fainted.

Ximen Qing didn't stop the scene before him, and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He clapped his hands. "Clap, clap, clap... as expected of Divine Doctor Xiao, what a great method... he even knows to knock her unconscious first."

But what Xiao Feng did next directly stunned him. A scorching, boundless Vermillion Flames suddenly surged around Xiao Feng! In an instant, the fire filled the sky. Ximen Qing's eyes hadn't been transformed to the "God Lord" level, and the boundless Vermillion Flames obscured Ximen Qing's vision...

Seeing the scene before him, a sense of unease rose in Ximen Qing's heart. He frantically activated his Mystic Force, sensing the direction of the aura in his divine sense, and grabbed out fiercely with his right hand!

As Ximen Qing grabbed Xiao Feng's neck, the Vermillion Flames burning around him gradually dissipated...

Ximen Qing's face was livid at this moment. He looked at Xiao Feng with bloodshot eyes and questioned, "Where's Qi Qingyun?!"

There was nothing around them at this moment. His divine sense swept around, and he didn't detect any spatial fluctuations. And at this moment, there was only Xiao Feng in front of him. Qi Qingyun seemed to have suddenly evaporated.

Then there was only one explanation... Qi Qingyun had escaped... right under his nose!

"Heh..." Xiao Feng said with difficulty, "Qingyun has already been sent away by me using the Voidstone."

"You're lying to me!" Ximen Qing roared in disbelief. "If you had a Voidstone, why didn't you use it sooner!"

Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, and a sneer appeared on his face. "Xiao Feng... you've really been driven crazy by me. That's right... if you had a Voidstone, why didn't you use it sooner?"

"You must have some kind of storage space that can also put people in it..."

Xiao Feng's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this. The reason he had hastily thought of was indeed full of loopholes... but there was no change on his face. Instead, he sneered, "Heh... are you trying to comfort yourself?"

"You... wouldn't be afraid, would you?"

"Hahaha..." Hearing Xiao Feng's words, Ximen Qing laughed instead of getting angry. "If I was afraid, do you think I would have killed so many people?"

Xiao Feng mocked, "Are you trying to embolden yourself? You're just afraid that your actions will be exposed, so you're not leaving anyone in the city alive... you should know it yourself, right? You've committed such serious crimes, do you think the Pure Land's Abyssal Knights will let you go? You don't think you can stand against the hundreds of Abyssal Knights in the Pure Land, do you?"

"There's also one more thing... you might not know, Qingyun is already a quasi-knight. Do you think you can survive after harming a quasi-knight to the point of almost losing her life?"

Hearing this, Ximen Qing's face twitched for a moment, but he quickly recovered and said, "I've already joined the Creation God Sect. I have the protection of the Creation God Sect, what do I have to be afraid of..."

"Oh... I forgot, you probably don't even know the influence of our Divine Sect. Even if I told you, you wouldn't understand!"

Xiao Feng ridiculed, "Although I don't know how powerful the Creation God Sect you're talking about is, that it allows you to be confident enough to not fear the Pure Land's Abyssal Knights, but... I have a question, I wonder if you can help me answer it?"

"Oh? Considering you're about to die, I can consider it..." Ximen Qing himself didn't realize that he had already been led into Xiao Feng's rhythm... He began to subconsciously answer all the questions Xiao Feng asked.

The reason for all this was because he was trying to get Qi Qingyun's whereabouts from Xiao Feng's mouth.

Or perhaps Xiao Feng's words made him feel uneasy. He was looking for a sense of security for himself. He seemed to be answering Xiao Feng's questions, but in reality, he was increasing the sense of security in his heart...

"I am a divine doctor... this is obvious to everyone. I don't know if you've noticed it yourself... just now, I discovered that your life force is rapidly declining, and even your internal organs are gradually withering. I'd like to know, will your Divine Sect save a dying person?"

"Or rather... will your so-called Divine Sect save someone who has no value in the future!"
