With Xiao Feng's current strength, facing a demigod meant he could not possibly be a match for one...
The only outcome would be death...
But he absolutely could not die now. Qing Yun was still inside the spatial realm, and he had no way of knowing what would happen to her if he died...
The instant the demigod's pressure descended upon him, the hand wielding his sword had already stopped. Yet his thoughts raced madly. First, he had to determine whether this demigod belonged to the Creation God Sect.
Or was he merely a demigod who had happened to pass through this place?
But when he recalled those three words the Blue-Robed Envoy had spoken to him, he was already mostly certain...
He could not imagine what in the tiny Flowing Wind City could be so alluring. A remote little city with only a peak God Monarch Realm expert had already drawn a God Master, which was inconceivable enough. Yet now, it had even drawn a demigod...
He had long guessed that Ximen Qing might have accomplices, and as expected... one of them was a peak God Master Realm Blue-Robed Envoy. But that was still within his expectations.
He had even considered the absurd possibility that the accomplice might be a Half-step God Extinction expert.
If it had truly been a Half-step God Extinction expert, he might not have been able to kill him, but leaving would not have been difficult.
But... he had never imagined that the strongest among their accomplices would actually be a genuine God Extinction Realm expert. That was a demigod!
Before a demigod, all who had not reached the demigod realm were ants...
What exactly was the reason?
His thoughts churned violently, yet his expression did not change in the slightest, remaining as calm as a mountain lake.
The God Extinction Realm and the God Master Realm were truly worlds apart. The God Extinction Realm had already completely transcended the domain of "mortals." Xiao Feng was currently enveloped by the mystic pressure of a God Extinction Realm expert. Even if he fled, he would never escape. Since he could neither win nor flee, there was only one way...
Bluff with overwhelming confidence! Bluff this God Extinction expert into fearing consequences and letting him go personally.
No... it should not be called bluffing... After all, it was the truth...
"Clap, clap, clap..." Crisp applause sounded from behind Xiao Feng. "Impressive. I have never heard of a God Monarch defeating a God Master. To witness such a shocking scene today, this trip has truly not been in vain."
Xiao Feng turned around and saw the person applauding: a middle-aged man in white robes, with mature features and a steady demeanor...
Yet merely standing there, the mystic pressure he released sent a chill through Xiao Feng's heart.
"Who are you?" Xiao Feng asked.
"I am Sect Master's guardian." The man in white spoke leisurely. "I was responsible for overseeing this operation. To be honest, I initially thought Sect Master was being overly cautious. He actually sent me to supervise a small city that did not even have a God Master."
"Now it seems Sect Master truly was wise. Such a tiny Flowing Wind City actually produced a genius like you..."
"And Sect Master values geniuses above all else. Besides, you look so..." He had wanted to describe him, but did not know what words to use. He could only skip over it. "If you joined our Creation God Sect, you would certainly receive Sect Master's favor..."
"Oh? From the sound of it, are you trying to recruit me?" Xiao Feng asked with interest.
"No, no, no..." The man in white shook his head and spoke softly. "You misunderstand. Sect Master may cherish you greatly, but that does not mean I will. Right now, I only want you dead."
Xiao Feng...
Hearing this, he showed no fear. Instead, he sneered. "Then why haven't you made your move? Why are you still here talking nonsense with me?"
"Then I would also like to ask Divine Doctor Xiao: why do I see no fear in you at all?" As soon as the man in white finished speaking, the mystic pressure of the God Extinction Realm erupted at full force and crashed down upon Xiao Feng.
Xiao Feng's robes fluttered violently beneath the mystic pressure, but within the Nether Emperor Realm barrier, his expression showed not the slightest trace of fear. His gaze remained as calm as still water.
Xiao Feng did not answer his question. Instead, a mocking smile appeared on his face. "Could it be that you're afraid? I defeated a peak God Master with God Monarch Realm cultivation. You fear that I might even possess the strength to defeat a God Extinction expert, so you do not dare to act, do you?"
The man in white remained silent. Clearly, that was exactly what he was thinking.
Even though he felt it was fundamentally impossible, the Blue-Robed Envoy was currently lying at his feet. He believed that not long ago, the Blue-Robed Envoy must have thought the same way.
Moreover, he had already released his mystic pressure to envelop Xiao Feng. Although this person had been shocked upon sensing a God Extinction expert, he had shown no fear whatsoever, nor had he displayed any intention of fleeing. This only deepened his suspicions.
That was why he had revealed himself to speak with Xiao Feng, to judge just what Xiao Feng's confidence was based on.
Seeing that the man in white did not answer, Xiao Feng continued, "I do indeed possess the strength to kill you, but it would come at an enormous cost. I do not wish to use it, which is why I am standing here talking to you."
"Now you have two choices. Choose for yourself: either get the hell out of my sight right now, or... die!"
Xiao Feng spoke proudly and without the slightest fear. No matter what, he could not show weakness now. Whoever revealed fear would be at a disadvantage.
...The man in white remained silent. His mystic power shifted slightly as he swung it toward Xiao Feng.
The moment he saw the mystic power move, Xiao Feng did not hesitate at all. In an instant, he activated Sealed Clouds, Locked Sun, and the Evil God Barrier unfolded immediately...
This was a Mystic Skill granted by the second realm barrier, a defensive Mystic Skill.
Yet the attack unleashed by the man in white did not strike at Xiao Feng. Instead, it swept up Ximen Qing's corpse from nearby and brought it to his side.
Looking at Xiao Feng, who had grown tense to the extreme, he gave a low laugh. "Why are you so nervous?"
Xiao Feng...
Even a casual strike from a God Extinction Realm expert was not something he could withstand. Thus, the instant the man in white released his mystic power, he had immediately used Sealed Clouds, Locked Sun. Now, he had instead exposed his weakness...
The man in white took out a circular array disk. An eerie red glow emanated from it. He tossed the disk out, and crimson light instantly poured down from it. As time passed, the red light on the disk began to fade, and the disk returned to his hand.
At this moment, a scarlet mystic formation had taken shape beneath Ximen Qing's body...
Looking at the mystic formation before him, Xiao Feng furrowed his brows, but did not act. He merely watched quietly.
As the mystic formation began to operate, clusters of white spheres of light unexpectedly began emerging from Ximen Qing's body...
Those white spheres gradually gathered and fused together. After a long time, when no more white mystic light emerged from Ximen Qing's body, his physical form began to dissipate bit by bit... just like those people in Flowing Wind City who had been devoured after death...
Xiao Feng's hands unconsciously clenched into fists, then slowly relaxed...
When the white spheres had completely merged, a ball of light radiating pure white brilliance appeared above Ximen Qing's body.
Once the white light had fully fused, it seemed to cleanse the world with radiance. The surrounding light suddenly dimmed, leaving only that pure white glow.
"Divine source?" Xiao Feng murmured softly.
The man in white did not speak, but as he gazed at that pure white radiance, his eyes revealed extreme greed and desire. "The ancient records were indeed correct... With so much Divine Source Power, the true god who fell here was absolutely a god among gods! The leader of the ancient true gods..."
Xiao Feng: "!!!" "Someone told me they read every day, so I'm continuing to update today."
