Fishing in Troubled Waters: Backlash

Zhang Xingfeng was secretly annoyed. Why did he have to encounter a freak with a top-level defensive artifact right away? Isn't having a top-level defensive artifact equivalent to having Immortal Undying Body?

However, a smile suddenly appeared on Zhang Xingfeng's lips, "Don't I also have the Heavy Profound Chisel? What's there to worry about? Besides..." Zhang Xingfeng looked at Hei Yan, his fighting aura surging, "Besides, at this level, finding a good opponent is rare. Isn't this a perfect opportunity?"

Zhang Xingfeng suddenly shouted, "Black Charcoal, come and take my punch!" Zhang Xingfeng's right fist, carrying earth-shattering power, slammed towards Hei Yan. Halfway through its strike, his fist was instantly covered by a golden gauntlet. All the Rou Jin gathered on the gauntlet, and Limitless Power surged into it. The sharp, pointed edge of the gauntlet began to flash with dazzling golden light...

"Hahahaha... Good! Take this punch!" Hei Yan was excited. His opponent was actually going for the tough fight and engaging in close combat. What was he worried about? With the Black Sun Divine Armor, he was invincible in close combat. Hei Yan couldn't help but want to show off his abilities!

Zhang Xingfeng sneered. He knew that even if the laser formed from the Limitless Power gathered on the sharp drill of the gauntlet was fired, it would be useless against a top-tier divine weapon, so...

"Die!" Zhang Xingfeng suddenly snarled, gathering all the immense power within him into his right fist, and slammed it heavily onto Hei Yan's right fist!

"Boom!"

They both retreated several hundred meters simultaneously! They were both staring at each other!

Suddenly, a flash of black light appeared on Hei Yan Black Sun Divine Armor is a top-level divine armor is not simply to defend the body. It can defend any part of the body. In just a moment, a gauntlet appeared on Hei Yan's right hand and collided with Zhang Xingfeng to a draw!

Zhang Xingfeng was shocked. "My God, this top-tier artifact is really monstrous! I gathered all the Rou Jin into my right fist, and I could only manage a draw against his gauntlet that appeared on his right hand. This is outrageous!"

However, Zhang Xingfeng had no idea of the bitterness in Hei Yan's heart at this moment. Hei Yan looked at Zhang Xingfeng and swallowed the blood in his throat. "Who is this freak? How can he have such powerful strength! Such powerful physical attacks, is he a master among Devil Beast?"

The Black Sun Divine Armor can defend against magical attacks and is also quite good at defending against physical attacks! However, no matter what kind of divine armor it is, it cannot truly defend against physical attacks! Because if a force of millions of pounds were to strike it, the inside of the divine armor would also be compressed!

It's like wearing a suit of armor. If someone comes at you with an axe, even though the axe can't cut through the armor, a significant amount of force is transmitted through it, creating immense pressure!

Although the Black Sun Divine Armor is a top-tier artifact, it's impossible to completely deflect the force hitting it; it can only weaken it. But even if it's weakened by ten times, millions of units of force would still result in at least two or three hundred thousand units of force being lost. Hei Yan's body isn't Zhang Xingfeng's body, nor is it that of Devil Beast. He hadn't paid attention at first, so how could he possibly withstand it? He vomited blood on the spot, but this guy was too proud to admit it and swallowed it down!

"Good, good, good!" Hei Yan said "good" three times in a row, a fierce light flashing in his eyes. The earth Demonic Yuan Power in his body immediately formed a protective layer on his body to protect himself.

"Kid, come and fight me a few more rounds!" Hei Yan shouted suddenly, and in a flash, he rushed towards Zhang Xingfeng.

Zhang Xingfeng smiled contemptuously and said, "Black Carbon, you actually want to fight me in close combat? Hahahaha..." Zhang Xingfeng unleashed his terrifying speed, and Hei Yan could no longer see Zhang Xingfeng's figure in an instant.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!...

Zhang Xingfeng instantly unleashed dozens of punches on Hei Yan, who was completely helpless. Hei Yan was so enraged that smoke began to rise from his head as he yelled, "Oh dear, you've infuriated me! You brat, I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill you!"

Suddenly, Hei Yan's body, growing thicker and thicker...

Zhang Xingfeng flashed and was already a hundred meters away. Looking at the mysterious mist, Zhang Xingfeng frowned. He had never seen such mist before. What was this mist? What were its effects? However, Zhang Xingfeng dared not recklessly rush into the mist.

Hei Yan's expression was solemn as he chanted the secret incantation. "The Black Sun Movement Hei Yan, the Mist Spirit Gathering, the Misty Soul Dissipation, the Black Sun Bone Destruction, Soul and Bone Destruction!"

The black mist suddenly began to thicken rapidly, and the black color became increasingly clear. Suddenly, Hei Yan, who was shrouded in the center of the black mist, gave Zhang Xingfeng a sinister smile. With a slight movement of his hands, a string of black mist immediately rushed towards Zhang Xingfeng.

Zhang Xingfeng moved swiftly and arrived at another location. Zhang Xingfeng sneered, "With my speed, even if your black mist is powerful, it will be useless. Even if you have the Black Sun Divine Armor, it won't be of much use. Watch me!"

Zhang Xingfeng smiled slightly, and a golden battle blade suddenly appeared in his right hand.

"Black Charcoal, take this!" Zhang Xingfeng roared at Hei Yan, his aura suddenly rising and exploding... The bloody aura, seemingly from the battlefield, began to swirl around Zhang Xingfeng...

Zhang Xingfeng gripped his battle sword horizontally, head slightly lowered, his aura compressing and focusing on the sword. Zhang Xingfeng then murmured, "Second move of the Slayer Saber Art — Blood Devour Thousand Miles!"

Zhang Xingfeng suddenly raised his head, a Killing Intent in his eyes piercing Hei Yan, causing Hei Yan's heart to tremble. The golden battle blade followed a strange trajectory, slicing through space like a bolt of lightning, a blood-red lightning bolt, piercing straight at Hei Yan.

Hei Yan's eyes widened. "Wasn't that a golden battle blade just now? Why is that light blood red?" But obviously, he wouldn't understand, as the blood red lightning was already beside him.

"Boom!"

Like a thunderclap, Hei Yan's body trembled, but he was unharmed. Hei Yan looked at Zhang Xingfeng triumphantly and shouted, "Hmph, no matter what kind of attack it is, it's useless against my top-level defensive artifact, unless you have the strength of a god or possess a top-level offensive artifact! Hahahaha... Obviously, you can't achieve either of those!"

Zhang Xingfeng was secretly furious, annoyed that the top-tier defensive artifact was simply too powerful. Now, after hearing Hei Yan's explanation, he understood. He knew that a top-tier defensive artifact was equivalent to Immortal Undying Body. It was impossible for any expert in this realm to kill it. Only a god-like being, or someone using an equally powerful top-tier artifact, could possibly break through the divine armor's protection and kill Hei Yan.

However, Zhang Xingfeng immediately smiled, a hint of mockery in his eyes as he looked at Hei Yan. He thought to himself, "Unfortunately, I possess a top-tier divine weapon with the strongest point-based attack— the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow!"

Hei Yan was arrogant at this moment, and roared, "Boy, let me show you the secret techniques of my Black Sun Sect, the first move of the Black Sun Forbidden Technique - Black Sun First Appearance!"

Instantly, the countless black mists surrounding the Hei Yan began to churn and roll outwards with incredible speed, approaching the speed of light. Zhang Xingfeng didn't even have time to react before he was completely enveloped by the black mist.

Zhang Xingfeng was taken aback. He had no idea what the black mist was supposed to do, and a sense of unease crept into his heart. The unknown is the most terrifying thing.

Suddenly, Zhang Xingfeng stared blankly at the black sphere in front of him, thinking to himself, "Could this be what that black charcoal was talking about—the Black Sun! It's really too small!" Zhang Xingfeng was somewhat skeptical.

"Forget it, I won't waste my time with you!" With a thought, Zhang Xingfeng suddenly produced a dark longbow in his hand, which was the top-level offensive artifact— the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow!

With the divine bow in hand, Zhang Xingfeng's aura surged, his confidence soaring. That day, when Zhang Xingfeng used the sixth form of the Sun-Shooting Divine Arrow Blue Fire Devour —the old man Tian Nan was utterly powerless to retaliate. He could only rely on the three life-saving talismans passed down to him by the Great Emperor Ziwei. Even Immortal Emperor, when crafting these talismans, had exhausted all his strength to create eighteen, each equivalent to Immortal Emperor's full defensive power. Their defensive strength was truly formidable.

Just as Zhang Xingfeng was brimming with confidence, the situation suddenly changed drastically. The small black sphere in front of him suddenly emitted a black light, and that all-consuming blackness attracted countless black mists from the surrounding area.

All the mist began to gather around the small black sphere, and to Zhang Xingfeng's dismay, the sphere was right next to him, so all the black mist started to converge on Zhang Xingfeng.

Soon, Zhang Xingfeng was completely compressed into the countless black mists. It was as if Zhang Xingfeng had been thrown into an egg. The black mists were almost materialized, and Zhang Xingfeng felt that he could hardly move at all.

"Hahahaha... The little brat from the Blood Kill Gate now knows the power of my Black Sun Gate, but this is just the beginning. The real show is yet to come. Hahahaha..." Hei Yan laughed triumphantly, then suddenly his smile vanished as he stared at Zhang Xingfeng and said cruelly in a cold voice, "Black Sun Forbidden Technique, Second Form— Radiant Burst!"

Suddenly, Zhang Xingfeng felt the small black sphere in front of him begin to tremble. The incredibly powerful defensive force within the sphere seemed to be trying to break free of its restraints, and it too began to tremble...

"I'm not wasting my time with you!" Knowing how powerful Hei Yan's move was, Zhang Xingfeng immediately transformed into Rou Jin suit of armor and covered himself with it, Sun-Shooting Divine Bow instantly appeared in his hands!

"Hiss... hiss..." The black sphere, like the sun, continuously emitted black light in all directions. The power of that black light was so strong that even Zhang Xingfeng's body dared not easily withstand it. Fortunately, he possessed the Rou Jin, otherwise Zhang Xingfeng would have been riddled with holes.

"As expected of the Radiant Burst! But you too, take this arrow! The sixth form of the Sun-Shooting Divine Arrow— Blue Fire Devour!" Zhang Xingfeng said coldly.

The Sun-Shooting Divine Bow flashed, and a blue flame, like lightning, instantly streaked across space and reached Hei Yan!

"Blazing Heavenly Fire!" Hei Yan suddenly opened her eyes, staring in disbelief at the brilliant blue flames.

Last time, Zhang Xingfeng's Limitless Power was only at the Great Luo Golden Immortal level. He used this move, which is why it backfired. However, because of his strong body, he was able to withstand it. Now, Zhang Xingfeng's Limitless Power has reached the Nine Heavens Profound Immortal level, making it extremely easy for him to unleash this move! What excites Zhang Xingfeng the most is that—unleashing this move doesn't require much Limitless Power at all!

The Blazing Heavenly Fire that shot out was merely the spatial power automatically attracted by the Divine Fire Crystal Core. The Limitless Power was just a guide. For Zhang Xingfeng, the little bit of Limitless Power consumed had no effect at all. He could even continuously shoot out divine arrows.

"As expected of a top-tier artifact, it unleashes such a powerful attack without consuming much power!" Zhang Xingfeng said happily, glancing casually at Hei Yan.

Hei Yan was enraged and roared furiously.

"How is this possible? How could you possibly unleash the Blazing Heavenly Fire? You're just a disciple of the Blood Kill Gate, at most at the Demon Emperor realm (Nine Heavens Profound Immortal realm), how could you possibly unleash the Blazing Heavenly Fire?" Hei Yan still found it hard to accept.

However, Hei Yan immediately laughed triumphantly, "Hahahaha... Although your Blazing Heavenly Fire is very powerful, my Black Sun Divine Armor is even more powerful. Your Blazing Heavenly Fire can't hurt me at all!"

Clearly, although the Blazing Heavenly Fire was burning around Hei Yan, the Black Sun Divine Armor Blazing Heavenly Fire to withstand it.

Zhang Xingfeng's eyes widened, but he quickly understood. "The Immortal Undying Body can completely withstand the Blazing Heavenly Fire, so of course this top-tier defensive artifact can withstand it! However... I still have a trump card!"

Zhang Xingfeng was confident in his strong body and prepared to use the seventh form of the Sun-Shooting Divine Arrow. In his opinion, even if there was a backlash, his Lustful Body would definitely be able to withstand it. Moreover, seeing how powerful the sixth form was, Zhang Xingfeng also wanted to see how the seventh form would be.

"Seventh Form of the Sun-Shooting Divine Arrow— Purple Netherworld!" Zhang Xingfeng roared, Sun-Shooting Divine Bow flashed with light, as dazzling as the sun, but then vanished!

A chilling purple light, seemingly emanating from the deepest abyss, suddenly flashed and vanished!

Zhang Xingfeng suddenly felt a chaotic energy spreading from the depths of his heart and throughout his entire body, like a tsunami, churning wildly within Zhang Xingfeng...

"It's a backlash, but how can it be so strong!" Zhang Xingfeng had only this one thought in his mind before he had no other ideas and focused all his attention on fighting against the Limitless Power of Wuji within his body!

He had no extra energy to suppress the blood, and the blood in his mouth was like cheap tea. He gulped down several mouthfuls of it, while the Limitless Power within his body continued to surge wildly!

"It seems my body isn't strong enough. The backlash from the seventh move is at least ten times stronger than the backlash from the sixth move!" Zhang Xingfeng thought bitterly, spitting out another mouthful of blood.
