Moonfall Starfall

When Ximen Qing saw that Xiao Feng remained silent for so long, he immediately let out a delighted, crazed laugh. "Hahahaha..."

After being brutally battered by Xiao Feng, seeing him finally looking as though he had run out of steam gave Ximen Qing an outlet for the stifled fury and humiliation Xiao Feng had inflicted on him.

"Xiao Feng... don't tell me you're scared? Where did that spirit from before go?" The more Ximen Qing spoke, the more frenzied his expression became. "I already felt your strength earlier. It truly exceeded my expectations, but... there won't be a next time!"

Ximen Qing's crazed face became exceptionally savage. "I'll make you understand the consequences of provoking me!"

Another surge of Divine Source Power undoubtedly boosted Ximen Qing's confidence. He raised the Ice Soul Sword, mobilized the vast Divine Source Power, and slashed out a bleak streak of ice radiance.

Extreme Ice Bloom!

Dazzling ice radiance burst from the Ice Soul Sword, carrying bone-piercing, soul-freezing cold as it stabbed toward Xiao Feng. Facing the oncoming Extreme Ice Bloom, he neither dodged nor evaded. The Sacred Flame surrounding him instantly transformed into flaming armor—Vermilion Bird Plume!

Boom—

With a thunderous blast, the ground beneath his feet instantly cracked apart. He charged directly into the ice radiance, his profound energy raging as both fists smashed fiercely toward Ximen Qing!

Seeing Xiao Feng refuse to dodge at all, Ximen Qing's face twisted savagely. "You're courting death!"

But the savagery on his face was quickly swallowed by overwhelming terror and astonishment.

The dazzling ice radiance, carrying immense frigid might, struck Xiao Feng's body. It only made him pause slightly before being directly swallowed by the flaming armor!

The astonishment on his face did not last long...

Bang!!

With a heavy impact, Xiao Feng's fury-filled fist smashed brutally into Ximen Qing's face. In an instant, his features warped beneath the force of the blow. His already twisted face now looked even more horrifying and savage!

Bang—!

Another heavy impact rang out as his entire body was blasted away, crashing heavily to the ground. Along the arc of his flight lingered thick blood mist and shattered white teeth.

"Ugh... you..."

His entire face had been knocked crooked, leaving him unable even to speak clearly. But what he truly could not understand was why Xiao Feng had grown stronger again—and it was not merely his strength...

Speed, reactions, coordination... every aspect had improved. How exactly had he done it?!

He had clearly received the Divine Source's blessing, so why was he still no match for Xiao Feng?!

But the only answer he received was a fist filled with surging hatred!

Another punch smashed fiercely toward him, this time at the left side of his face.

At this moment, he was like a child facing an adult, utterly incapable of resisting. He could only barely circulate his profound energy and raise his left hand to block.

But before such a vast disparity in strength, the attempt was completely meaningless. His left hand was pressed against his face, and his entire body was sent flying once more.

He no longer had the strength to hold the Ice Soul Sword. It slipped from his grasp in midair, tracing an arc before stabbing into the ground. Blood and shattered teeth followed it down.

Before his body could even fall, Xiao Feng had already used Star God Shattered Image to reach above him, then hurled another brutal punch down at his face!

Ximen Qing was blasted several miles underground, and the instant he landed, the surrounding earth shook violently.

Before he could rise, Xiao Feng had already appeared at his side and viciously kicked his lumbar spine, sending him flying. Within the narrow terrain, his body once again pierced through layers of solid rock and burst out of the earth...

After a brief moment in the air, he slammed viciously into the ground.

He struggled to his feet, bent over like an old man in his twilight years. Not a trace of elegance remained on his face. His facial bones had been shattered, and his entire face was grotesquely twisted.

With unfocused eyes, he looked at Xiao Feng, whose calm expression held a ruthless glint, and once again voiced the doubt in his heart. "How exactly... did you do it?"

Xiao Feng did not answer. Instead, he let out a devilish murmur. "Those few punches just now were for those beasts from Du Kongpo. Next, you'd better be ready. Don't let me beat you to death."

As he spoke, Xiao Feng slowly strode forward. Watching him approach, Ximen Qing's body actually began to retreat instinctively...

After taking only two steps back, Ximen Qing remembered that the person before him was Xiao Feng. He forcibly suppressed his body's terror and threatened, "Let me go... or we'll both go down together!"

"Hehehehe..." Hearing such a "backbone-filled" statement from Ximen Qing, Xiao Feng sneered. "Ximen Qing, I thought you had gone mad. But... you should be grateful that I want to carve you into a thousand pieces. Otherwise, do you think you'd still be standing here talking to me?"

As he spoke, he looked toward Ximen Qing's legs and said disdainfully, "Ximen Qing, I truly never expected you to be so full of empty words. Why don't you straighten those trembling legs of yours first before speaking to me?"

The words "full of empty words" fell into Ximen Qing's ears. Seeing the contempt in Xiao Feng's eyes, all the pride in his heart seemed to be trampled beneath Xiao Feng's feet.

His already exceedingly savage face twisted even further. "You're seeking death!"

Hearing Ximen Qing's words, Xiao Feng looked as though he had suddenly realized something. "Oh... I get it. The thing you think lets you take me down with you wouldn't happen to be that ice domain of yours, would it?"

Seeing Ximen Qing's expression stiffen, he said, "You want to activate that ice domain of yours? Go ahead. I'll give you the chance."

Hearing Xiao Feng's tone as though he were granting alms, Ximen Qing's face twisted savagely. Cold light gathered in his hand as he stabbed fiercely at his chest. "Don't think you've already won."

But the moment his words fell, the savagery on his face turned into stunned disbelief.

Whoosh—

A streak of sword light suddenly arrived and directly severed his right hand. A torrent of blood immediately sprayed from his wrist like a bloody arrow.

"Ah..." The sudden agony made him scream, but he quickly forced it down. His savage face turned toward Xiao Feng. "You have no honor!"

"Heh..." Xiao Feng sneered at his words. "I... changed my mind just now. Ximen Qing, I want you to understand that even being allowed to breathe Abyssal Dust is only because of my hatred for you!"

"If I want you to be a certain way, then that is how you must be. Whether you can use Mystic Skills depends entirely on my mood. If I don't want you using Mystic Skills, then you'd better hold it in!"

Ximen Qing's face instantly twitched when he heard those words. He had spoken those exact words to Xiao Feng not long ago. At the time, he could never have imagined that their positions would be overturned so quickly.

"Besides..." Xiao Feng's tone became ruthless. "A beast like you, worse than an animal, thinks he deserves to talk to me about honor!"

"Haha... you're scared! Are you scared now?!" Ximen Qing tried to provoke him.

After Xiao Feng successfully overcame his tribulation, Ximen Qing had been beaten so badly that he could not fight back. His confidence had been brutally "trampled" by Xiao Feng again and again.

Now, merely one action from Xiao Feng that seemed like fear made him wildly delighted, as though he had finally found a point from which to strike back amid his endless failures.

"Heh..." Xiao Feng said disdainfully, "Such a clumsy provocation. I'll give you another chance..."

The instant Xiao Feng's words fell, Ximen Qing raised his left hand and smashed it fiercely against his chest without saying another word...

Boom—

Invisible icy might spread from his body, and freezing waves of air immediately expanded outward.

Crack!

The filthy blood on his body turned into Ice Crystals and fell away. His eyes became ice-blue, while an Ice Crystal hand appeared over the stump where his right hand had been severed.

Ice Flower Nether Prison!

The moment Ximen Qing spoke, soul-freezing cold assaulted Xiao Feng from every direction. In only moments, a thick layer of Ice Crystals had covered his body.

Looking at Xiao Feng, now covered in Ice Crystals, Ximen Qing's twisted face revealed a sickening smile. "Xiao Feng, you let me activate my ice domain. I must properly repay you!"

But the moment his words fell, the twisted smile on his face became incredulous astonishment...

The Ice Crystals covering his body did not make Xiao Feng show even the slightest panic. In an instant, the profound energy around him erupted into turmoil once more...

At this moment, the fourth realm gate was instantly opened as well.

Fourth Realm Gate: Sky Shatter—Open!

Boom—!

Xiao Feng's suddenly violent profound energy directly shattered the Ice Crystals attached to his body into fragments. Even the frigid icy aura was blasted away.

There had been no need to activate Sky Shatter again, but Xiao Feng needed to utterly crush him with absolute force!

His body shot forward. The Hurricane Sword in his hand lightly traced an arc, and a crimson sword beam carrying violent power swept fiercely toward Ximen Qing...

Seeing the incoming sword beam, he suppressed the terror in his heart and hurriedly dodged... Though he barely avoided it, the sword beam's power was immense. Even though it only struck beside him, it blasted a massive crater into the ground. The remaining shockwave alone sent Ximen Qing flying several miles away...

Ximen Qing had only just stabilized himself and prepared to counterattack when Xiao Feng used Star God Shattered Image to instantly appear behind him. The Hurricane Sword swept out a scarlet-red sword beam...

Whoosh—

As though cutting tofu, Ximen Qing's protective profound energy was effortlessly sliced apart. Then, without losing any force, the sword beam severed all five fingers from his left hand.

Only then did Ximen Qing suddenly realize that Xiao Feng had appeared behind him. Yet the pain of his falling fingers did not make him scream.

Because his heart and soul were already filled with overwhelming shock. Why... had his strength increased by so much again?!

But just as that thought arose, the Hurricane Sword brutally stabbed into his left arm!

Whoosh!

Flames erupted violently. Using flesh and blood as fuel, they burst out through his skin in an instant!

"Ahhhhh!!"

The intense burning pain shattered Ximen Qing's train of thought, followed by screams he could no longer suppress.

In his agony, he circulated the Ice Soul Art with all his might and barely extinguished the Vermilion Bird Flame within his arm. But before he could recover, Xiao Feng extended his left hand beside him, profound light gathering within it...

Boom!

The vast profound energy directly blasted his already charred arm into fragments!

"Ahhhh!!"

Amid miserable screams, his entire left arm was brutally shattered. The seared arm had made his muscles, bones, and tendons exceptionally sensitive. Now that it had been blasted into fragments, the extreme agony made his screams even more shrill.

But what he did not know was that his nightmare... had only just begun!

"Too noisy!"

Before his screams could cease, Xiao Feng viciously stabbed the Hurricane Sword into his mouth, directly shredding his tongue and teeth! Blood sprayed wildly from his mouth.

"Wuwuwu..."

Xiao Feng swept the Hurricane Sword horizontally, directly slicing open his twisted face!

He could no longer scream and could only make mournful whimpering sounds.

Seeing him in such a miserable state, Xiao Feng showed not a trace of pity. "Don't you like shattering profound veins? I'll let you have a taste too!"

Moonfall Starfall!

The Mystic Skill attached to the first realm gate of the Evil God Art could bring down the moon and sink the stars!
