Slaying Feixiao

"Now!" Suddenly, a sharp gleam flashed in Feixiao's eyes!

Seizing the opening after the massive Phantylia's attack missed, she unleashed every last bit of power within her.

Her Dual Gun-Blades tore through the sky as the heavy axe rose high, gathering all her strength before cleaving down in a crimson arc that seemed capable of splitting heaven and earth!

This strike carried the pride and resolve of the Yaoqing General, sworn to utterly erase this Abundance Sprite that had brought destruction before her!

Yet, just as Feixiao's attack was about to land—

Phantylia neither dodged nor evaded. It allowed Feixiao's attack to fall while its enormous fan suddenly swung around and smashed heavily into Feixiao's flank!

"Pfft—!"

Caught off guard, Feixiao spat blood from the tremendous impact and was sent flying backward!

But at the same time, her all-out strike landed solidly on the massive Phantylia's vital chest area!

The massive Phantylia's body rapidly began to collapse, releasing a dreadful howl!

The next moment, a mass of blue-black flames escaped from that enormous body and fled into the sky!

General Feixiao endured her injuries and tried to finish it off, but her attack missed, striking only a wisp of the dispersing flames.

Her heart sank as she immediately realized the enemy had not been destroyed!

Soon, that cluster of blue-black flames, like a swallow returning to its nest, instantly entered the "Jiang Mo" body you occupied.

You felt the power of your true body return, even strengthened somewhat, filling you with a pleasant sense of fullness.

You involuntarily narrowed your eyes, your cheeks flushing as though you had tasted the finest nectar in the world.

You turned around and looked at Stelle, who was tied up nearby.

"It seems this 'avatar' of mine still isn't durable enough."

You spoke to Stelle in a mocking tone, as if the battle that had destroyed half the city had been nothing more than a game to you.

You stared directly into Stelle's eyes. Those once pure, bright eyes were now filled with fear and confusion.

"Stelle, lend me your power, won't you? The Stellaron within you is so compatible with Destruction..."

As you spoke, you reached toward Stelle's forehead.

Stelle's body suddenly trembled upon hearing your words.

"No! I won't agree to this!"

Hearing that, a smile curled across your lips.

"Is that so?"

"But this time, I have no intention of giving you a choice."

You stopped wasting time and directly raised your hand, reaching into Stelle's sea of consciousness.

That hand had once gently touched her hair, but now it reached for her like a demon's claw.

Seeing this, March 7th and Dan Heng immediately struggled desperately, trying to rush over and stop you.

"Phantylia, don't touch her!" Dan Heng shouted, his voice heart-wrenching with helplessness.

"When Uncle Yang and Himeko get here, you're dead! They won't let you get away with this!" March 7th roared in warning, trying to intimidate you with the Astral Express Crew's name, even though she knew it might be useless.

Hearing their cries, a look of contempt appeared on your face.

"So noisy."

You waved your other hand, and two invisible forces instantly struck March 7th and Dan Heng.

Their bodies twitched before going limp, and they fell unconscious once more.

The world seemed to grow quiet, leaving only Stelle's hurried breathing.

Your fingers had already touched Stelle's cheek. The aura of Destruction instantly seeped into her skin, sending a bone-chilling cold through her body.

Stelle retained her last shred of consciousness and looked at you in terror. "Phantylia... what exactly are you trying to do...?"

You bent down and whispered into her ear in a voice only Stelle could hear, carrying Jiang Mo's former tone.

That voice was filled with extreme possessiveness, like a lover's murmur and a demon's curse.

"Me? I just... want you."

Upon hearing those words laden with twisted emotion, Stelle's eyes instantly filled with utter shock and disbelief.

But her mind could no longer think. Her consciousness rapidly blurred.

At your fingertips appeared a mass of blue-black flames. That was you—the true body of Suyang.

The Flames of Suyang began rapidly flowing from your fingers into Stelle's body.

At the same time, the "Jiang Mo" body that had once carried your will became an empty shell without a soul after the Flames of Suyang were stripped away, instantly collapsing.

Within Stelle's body, the formerly dormant Stellaron suddenly erupted in dazzling white light from her chest after sensing this powerful, familiar force of Destruction. It was its instinctive resistance.

Yet the Flames of Suyang seemed to have found the home from which they had long been separated. They were exceptionally compatible with the Stellaron that possessed the power of Destruction, drawing each other in and merging together...

The Stellaron's resistance gradually weakened. In the end, it no longer resisted, instead beginning to actively accept this power.

The possession proceeded remarkably smoothly, as though Stelle's body and the Stellaron within her had been born to carry your overwhelming power of Destruction.

Deep within her consciousness, Stelle's world was collapsing.

Your will surged in like a tide, rapidly devouring the self that belonged to her.

Fragments of shattered memories flashed through her mind.

The times she had laughed with her companions aboard the train, the first time she met "Jiang Mo," the adventures of her Trailblazing journey with her companions.

And those sweet yet flustered games of "pretending to be a couple," your gentle gaze, your occasional touches...

Those warm scenes twisted and burned within the blue-black flames, eventually turning to ash.

Replacing them were the cold, dark memories of Suyang.

The humiliation of a thousand years of imprisonment, the endless slaughter within the furnace, the merciless killings after becoming an Envoy.

Pain, confusion, struggle—countless emotions intertwined across Stelle's face as her body trembled violently beyond her control.

But in the end, every emotion became one.

The flames completely merged into Stelle's body, and an aura of Destruction began to emerge around her.

Then, "Stelle" slowly opened her eyes.

Those golden eyes, once pure and bright, were now unfathomably deep, as though they contained all the darkness of the universe.

You flexed your fingers, feeling the strange sensation brought by this new body, and a satisfied smile curled across your lips.

That smile belonged nothing like the Stelle of the past.

Slay Feixiao

You looked at March 7th and Dan Heng, unconscious and tied to the pillars beside you.

They had once been your close companions.

But there was not the slightest trace of their former bond in your eyes. You looked at them with utter indifference, as though they were two useless objects.

After thinking about it, you decided there was no need to personally kill them.

Then you turned and walked toward the original "Jiang Mo" body.

That body had completely lost all signs of life, lying helplessly on the ground like a discarded doll.

With a casual wave of your hand, blue-black flames ignited.

The body swiftly turned to ash in the flames, scattering into the air without leaving behind the slightest trace.

Below, General Feixiao had already dealt with your avatar.

She was searching for the mastermind behind it all, and the powerful aura exposed on your side immediately caught her attention.

Feixiao moved like lightning, arriving nearby in an instant.

She immediately saw March 7th and Dan Heng tied to the pillars, as well as "Stelle," standing there with her back to her.

The battle report Feixiao had received earlier had mentioned that the Trailblazers of the Astral Express had been abducted by a Lord of Ruin.

These three before her were members of the Astral Express Crew.

Seeing that they appeared unharmed, Feixiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

But when she clearly saw the figure standing there, her pupils abruptly contracted.

That Trailblazer... was not right!

A powerful, evil aura of Destruction radiated from her body. It shared the same source as the massive Phantylia from earlier, but it was even purer and more terrifying.

Holding her Dual Gun-Blades, Feixiao demanded sharply, "Who are you?!"

You turned around and said, "Take a guess."

The anger in Feixiao's heart flared as she shouted, "Speak, or don't blame me for mistakenly killing an innocent person!"

You chuckled and mocked, "Heh, Xianzhou generals really are no fun."

You no longer concealed yourself and declared your identity to Feixiao.

"Lord of Ruin, Phantylia."

The teasing smile on your face made the features that had once belonged to Stelle seem incomparably eerie.

"You Xianzhou people are always so arrogant, believing you can control everything," you said contemptuously. "Yet you do not realize how fragile you are, like insects. A slight nudge, and you descend into chaos."

"This game has only just begun."

As your words fell, overwhelming power of Destruction erupted from your body.

Feixiao stared at the terrifying "Stelle" before her, gripping her weapon tightly with icy eyes. "Lord of Ruin Phantylia, no matter what methods you used... today, you will not leave the Loufu alive!"

You revealed a malicious smile. "Oh? Then let me properly experience the power of a Hunt Envoy with this new body."

Feixiao hesitated no longer, immediately channeling her power and charging toward you!

You effortlessly evaded Feixiao's attack, moving with unbelievable speed.

You did not use a sword. Instead, you casually picked up the baseball bat Stelle had dropped on the ground.

A single swing of the bat carried terrifying power of Destruction, far surpassing that of your previous avatar!

Feixiao had great difficulty dealing with it. She was injured, and the current situation was unfavorable to this Xianzhou general.

You taunted her as you fought. "Is this the power of a Xianzhou general? What a disappointment."

"You're too slow, like a clumsy fox."

With a casual swing of your baseball bat, the resulting gust easily sliced apart a distant building!

Feixiao frowned, realizing that your strength was even worse than she had expected.

The battle continued. Though Feixiao was suppressed, she still barely managed to withstand your one-sided assault.

Suddenly, you stopped attacking. You sensed movement from other forces of the Xianzhou Alliance—more Xianzhou fleets were closing in on the Loufu.

You looked at Feixiao with disdain. "Little fox, you have indeed tried very hard, but unfortunately... none of this has any meaning."

"You want to stall for time until reinforcements arrive, don't you? Mm, they have indeed come."

"But their arrival cannot save the Loufu."

You stopped holding back. The power of Destruction condensed upon the baseball bat to its utmost limit!

Then you leaped into the air and smashed down at Feixiao with planet-destroying force!

A resolute look flashed through Feixiao's eyes. She knew she could not block this attack, but she did not retreat.

She braced her great axe before herself, trying to block this devastating blow as she let out one final roar!

Boom—!!

The terrifying impact swept across the entire Xianzhou Loufu. The ground collapsed, and space twisted!

Feixiao's body flew backward like a kite with its string cut, while every gun and axe in her hands shattered!
