Injure His Body, Break His Heart

Boom—!

The moment the Evil Soul Realm gate opened, a blood-red aura erupted from Xiao Feng's body, instantly reducing the God Master pressure weighing down on him!

At the same time, Ximen Qing's Ice Soul Sword, carrying bone-chilling cold, stabbed fiercely towards Xiao Feng. Hurricane Sword instantly appeared in his hand, and he swung it to meet the oncoming Ice Soul Sword...

Clang!

The swords collided, but contrary to Ximen Qing's expectations, the crushing force he expected didn't happen. Instead, an unimaginable force erupted from the front...

Bang!!

He was blasted away, crashing heavily to the ground in a sorry state.

Before he could recover, Xiao Feng was already in front of him, Hurricane Sword swinging down. Seeing this, Ximen Qing had no choice but to hastily raise his sword to block.

But in his haste, he couldn't fully mobilize his power. With the second collision, he was once again blasted away, slamming into the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust.

"God... Master!" Ximen Qing staggered to his feet, uttering a cry of disbelief.

He scrutinized Xiao Feng, seemingly unable to believe it. His Mystic Force was still at the God Monarch Realm, but why was the Mystic might he released clearly the same as his... God Master Realm Mystic might!

"Could you also be a disciple of the God Sect?" Ximen Qing subconsciously blurted out this thought. After all, in his view, only the Creation God Sect could do this.

"No... how is that possible!" But soon, he rejected this idea. No matter what, Xiao Feng couldn't possibly be a disciple of the Creation God Sect!

The shock in Ximen Qing's heart at this moment was beyond measure.

After all, the heaven-defying divine art produced under paradox was not something Ximen Qing could understand.

Xiao Feng didn't explain, nor did he give him any chance. Immediately, scorching Vermilion Bird Blaze ignited on Hurricane Sword, instantly creating a blazing fire. This was the first time Vermilion Bird Blaze had burned since he had transcended the tribulation!

Sacred Flame Slash!

He swung Hurricane Sword down fiercely, the scorching sword light carrying explosive heat waves slashing towards Ximen Qing!

Before the sword light arrived, the terrifying heat waves were already making his skin prickle. He frantically mobilized his Mystic Force, and rows of Icy Barrier Walls hastily appeared in front of him, forming a barrier.

But how could an Icy Barrier Wall built in haste withstand Vermilion Bird's Sacred Flame? The extreme cold could only briefly halt the sword light. As the layers of ice were melted through, the sword light slammed into Ximen Qing's body.

Bang!!

Ximen Qing was blasted away. At this moment, Vermilion Bird Blaze clung to him like a maggot on a bone, the burning pain instantly turning his face pale. He subconsciously wanted to scream, but when he thought about Xiao Feng standing in front of him, he forced himself to remain silent.

The cold air on his body began to run rampant, and white smoke billowed from him.

"Didn't you feel warm before? I'll give you a big gift!"

Xiao Feng still remembered Ximen Qing's extremely contemptuous words before he transcended the tribulation.

He raised his left hand, and a scarlet-gold flame light, containing a crimson hue, shone brightly. He gently waved his left hand, and the foot-long fireball constantly expanded as it fell, instantly turning into a huge fire domain.

The Mystic skill attached to the fifth level of the Vermillion Bird Requiem—Divine Annihilation!

After the fire domain fell, it seemed to have tracking, following the Vermilion Bird Blaze attached to Ximen Qing, leaving him nowhere to escape.

"Ugh, ahhhhh!"

The entire several-mile fire domain made Ximen Qing endure scorching, burning pain all over his body at all times.

At this moment, he could no longer endure it and screamed. He felt like he had fallen into the Avici Purgatory...

The cruel screams didn't make Xiao Feng feel a shred of pity.

He deserved to die! No... ten thousand deaths would not atone for his crimes!

Second Realm, Heartburn—Open!

Each time an Evil God Realm gate is opened, the Mystic Force's rampage will increase exponentially, and along with it, his strength will also increase!

The moment Heartburn opened, the Mystic Force aura around him once again went berserk. He burst into action, Hurricane Sword swinging down fiercely towards Ximen Qing's fingers.

Ximen Qing was currently in the fire domain, the burning pain preventing him from fully concentrating his Mystic Force. Facing the sword light from Hurricane Sword, he could only barely use his Mystic Force to block.

But the Mystic Force he used in haste was like torn cloth under the sword light, easily cut open by the sharp sword light. And the blade was not aimed at his head, but at his fingers.

Swish—the sword light flashed, and Ximen Qing's little finger was directly cut off! His little finger left his body and was directly annihilated under the vast fire domain, leaving nothing behind.

Xiao Feng unleashed another sword light. This time, the upper joint of his ring finger was directly cut off. It was because Ximen Qing had teleported to the side in time that his ring finger was not cut off entirely...

"Why... you..." Ximen Qing couldn't believe his senses at this moment. Why did he feel that Xiao Feng was several times stronger than before!

He hadn't killed a single person, he hadn't paid any price!

He had killed his clan and buried the residents of the same city, but he... had done nothing!

The huge sense of disparity made Ximen Qing feel a strong sense of dissatisfaction!

But what responded to him was the third sword light. This time, his entire middle finger was directly cut off, and then annihilated again...

At this moment, under the burning of Vermilion Bird Blaze, he hardly felt the pain of his severed finger, but the broken wound was exposed under the Vermilion Bird Blaze...

Instantly, an even more piercing burning sensation seemed to flood into his lungs, as if a fire lotus had bloomed in his internal organs...

"Ugh... ahhh!!" A piercing scream came from his mouth, but immediately, he forcibly suppressed the scream, teleported out of the fire domain. The moment he escaped the fire domain, he didn't hesitate at all, Ice Soul Art running wildly.

"Frozen Confinement!"

The cold might around him was released with all his strength in an instant, but the cold might didn't envelop Xiao Feng, but himself.

In just an instant, he was completely enveloped in thick ice crystals, and the Vermilion Bird Blaze burning on him finally extinguished...

Watching Ximen Qing trap himself, Xiao Feng smirked. He raised the Hurricane Sword, and Vermilion Bird Flames erupted around him, a faint Vermilion Bird phantom slowly appearing above Xiao Feng...

"Godslayer!"

As the Vermilion Bird's strongest single-target Mystic Skill, released with Xiao Feng's current strength, its power was immense, and its flames were intensely scarlet, beyond estimation!

After several breaths of condensation, the Vermilion Bird phantom, paired with a thin, solidified flame, fiercely pierced towards Ximen Qing...

Just as the Godslayer was gathering power, before it could be released, Ximen Qing's body was already trembling uncontrollably. Seeing the Godslayer approaching, he quickly melted the ice crystals encasing him, then flashed away, trying to evade it.

But... the ice crystals he had created were too thick, and there wasn't enough time. He dodged clumsily, but the residual force still swept over him, instantly tearing away half of his foot!

His expression was terrified, but at that moment, another massive surge of Divine Source power came from all directions, continuously pouring into Ximen Qing's body...

Seeing this, Xiao Feng's eyes narrowed slightly, but he didn't step forward to interrupt.

If his guess was correct, the fact that Ximen Qing could still receive Divine Source meant that someone else had died and been sacrificed through some unknown method, allowing him to absorb their Divine Source.

Although he was only at the God Monarch Realm, after opening the Evil God Realm gate, he could clearly sense the speed of a God Master Realm cultivator and had a rough estimate.

When Qing Yun broke open the City Defense Mystic Array, there were still so many people in the city. They weren't just standing there as stationary targets. Even a God Master would need a significant amount of time to eliminate them all, making it impossible for Ximen Qing to catch up to them so quickly.

Since Ximen Qing had caught up so quickly, it meant that he hadn't massacred everyone in the city. Then... where did this Divine Source power come from?

After Ximen Qing absorbed the massive Divine Source power, the Mystic Force he released reached the 7th level of the God Master Realm!

The leap was so great that even though Xiao Feng had anticipated it, it still caused him to frown deeply.

The current leap in Mystic Force couldn't be described with any words; it simply shouldn't exist in this world!

He could contend with a God Master now using the Evil God Art, but that was based on his current strength at Peak God Lord. Ximen Qing's Mystic Force was that of a God!

But before he could sort out his thoughts, he was interrupted by a maniacal laugh.

"Hahahaha... Xiao Feng, didn't you say that the heavens wanted me dead? I'll return those words to you – the heavens want you dead!" Ximen Qing seemed to have had his mind completely eroded by the Divine Source, leaving only his hatred for Xiao Feng.

And that hatred contained a multitude of emotions. Since childhood, he had aspired to become the strongest, and he cared deeply about his reputation, but Xiao Feng had brutally trampled on it, and he himself... had been defeated by Xiao Feng despite being at a higher level!

To him, this was simply humiliation!

He had lost everything he cared about because of Xiao Feng!

How could he not hate! Now, seeing Xiao Feng receive a heavenly gift, a strong sense of unwillingness surged in his heart... Why can he get what I can't!

Xiao Feng didn't respond; his eyes were calm, but the coldness within them made anyone who saw them shiver uncontrollably.

If Ximen Qing were allowed to die so easily, that would be letting him off too lightly!

For him, it wasn't enough to inflict indelible pain on his body; he also wanted to shatter and destroy his mind!

Injure his body, crush his heart!
