Esoteric Art: Divine Movement!

In his rage.

He wished he could rush to Wei Qing's side immediately and tear him to shreds.

However.

Just as he lifted his foot, Chen Feng's figure flashed before him, standing like a great mountain between him and Wei Qing.

"Your opponent is me."

"Chen Feng."

Chen Hao roared, his true essence surging madly within him, his eyes bloodshot as he lunged at Chen Feng.

Seeing this, Chen Feng's lips curved into a smile.

When a person loses their reason, they inadvertently expose their own weaknesses.

[Ding! Slew a Peak Seventh Rank Puppet]

[Strength +50, Physique +60, One Martial Skill Upgrade Card]

[Martial Skill Upgrade Card: Host can upgrade any martial skill to Perfection Realm]

[Please Host, select a martial skill?]

"Ephemeral Art"

Adhering to the principle that in martial arts, speed is paramount.

Wei Qing instantly decided to boost his speed first.

"Buzz..."

As the command was issued, a large amount of Ephemeral Art cultivation experience poured into his mind.

[Ding!]

[Ephemeral Art breaks through to Perfection Realm, automatically comprehends ultimate skill: Divine Movement!]

[Divine Movement: Speed increased by 300%]

Wei Qing was overjoyed. His figure suddenly blurred, leaving only an afterimage in his original spot. His true body appeared before the dismembered Yan Qingshan like a ghost.

"You... how is that possible..."

Yan Qingshan's face turned ashen. He staggered back, clutching his severed arm, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Wei Qing's aura was clearly only at the Eighth Rank, yet his speed just now was not much slower than that of a Fifth Rank expert.

Alas, it was still too late.

The blade was already at his throat.

"Hmph, you really think I'm a pushover?"

Yan Qingshan sneered. His remaining left hand suddenly pulled a blood-red jade talisman from his chest--

"You want to kill me? Then we'll die together!"

"Boom--!"

The jade talisman exploded, unleashing torrents of flames that shot into the sky. Violent energy swept through an area of ten feet!

Wei Qing's eyes narrowed. He instantly activated the Divine Movement ultimate skill, his body flashing back like an illusion. His blade drew a silver arc before him--

"Swish!"

The flames were split in two by the blade energy, not touching him at all!

"What?!" Yan Qingshan was completely despairing.

Wei Qing took a step forward, and with a flash of his blade, Yan Qingshan's head flew off. His body stiffened and then fell straight down.

[Ding! Slew a High Seventh Rank Martial Artist]

[Spirit +50, Strength +48, Physique +52, Bone Tempering Pill X1]

Wei Qing did not linger, his figure flashing.

He appeared behind the three black-clothed figures surrounding Shen Yan. His blade cut through the night.

"Chh..."

The closest black-clothed assassin's body suddenly stiffened. A bloodline as fine as a silk thread appeared on his neck.

Before he lost consciousness, his body remained in an attacking posture.

The other two's pupils contracted violently, and they spun around abruptly.

As one of them raised his arm.

The blade flashed again!

His throat was already pierced by the sword.

The last person, momentarily distracted, was seized by Shen Yan. She decapitated him with a single sword strike, and he finally collapsed to the ground, dead!

[Ding! Consecutive kills of Peak Eighth Rank Martial Artists]

[Spirit +65, Strength +75, Physique +71, Meridian Opening Pill X1]

The two exchanged glances and charged towards the remaining black-clothed men...

On the other side of the battlefield.

The mysterious man was sent flying back ten feet by Chen Feng's palm, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Damn brat."

He had originally held the upper hand, but because Wei Qing killed Yang Kui, he, who was connected to Yang Kui's mind, suffered a backlash.

Chen Feng seized the opportunity and attacked ferociously.

He instantly turned the tide.

Furthermore, in the moment Yan Qingshan died and he was distracted, he was severely injured by the opponent's palm.

Seeing this, he no longer cared about his reputation and roared to the sky, "Old Tao, if you don't make a move soon, you'll be collecting my corpse."

"Heh heh..."

Following a sinister laugh, a hunched black figure quietly appeared on the courtyard wall.

He was toying with a pair of walnuts in his right hand. A seductive red glow flowed over them, as if they had been soaked in blood, exuding a strange aura.

"I told you long ago to stop early, but you wouldn't listen. If it weren't for Elder Chen's sake, I wouldn't even bother with you."

"Blood Demon Hand - Tao Kun."

Seeing the pair of blood-red walnuts in the newcomer's hand, Chen Feng couldn't help but exclaim.

Tao Kun, an executive of the Ghost Corpse Sect, an Initial Fifth Rank Martial Artist.

Five years ago, to cultivate an evil technique.

He sacrificed all 819 members of Lincheng's foremost family, the Luo Family, overnight.

"Heh heh, I didn't expect anyone to still remember me." Tao Kun raised an eyebrow, a sinister smile on his lips, as if it were something he was very proud of.

"819 lives from the Luo Family of Lincheng, clearly recorded on the Heavenly Realm Division's ledger!"

"Hahaha, so what?"

Facing Chen Feng's gritted teeth, Tao Kun unreservedly grinned and let out a wild and mocking laugh.

"Of course, it's to bring you to justice."

A chilling voice suddenly sounded from behind Tao Kun. A woman in red, wearing a Heavenly Realm Division badge, appeared.

The words "Profound Tier Garrison Commander" on the badge emitted a majestic faint glow under the moonlight.

"Heh heh, you're finally willing to show yourself."

Tao Kun was not surprised at all. As soon as he arrived at the City God Temple, he had sensed the woman's presence.

"Senior Sister Tantai... why are you here?"

Chen Feng looked at the newcomer in surprise.

"The Pacification Commissioner sent me on an errand, and I happened to pass by," Tantai Yue explained simply.

Regarding the secret order, the person carrying it out could not reveal even half a word without permission from their superior.

This was an iron rule of the Heavenly Realm Division.

Even though Chen Feng was a registered disciple of his father, her junior brother.

Rules could not be broken.

Tao Kun tilted his head and smiled, "Heh heh, even with you, a Sixth Rank Martial Artist, do you think you have a chance of winning?"

"Let's try, won't we... Careful."

Tantai Yue was about to speak when her peripheral vision suddenly caught sight of the severely injured Cheng Hao leaping up, flashing behind Chen Feng, and thrusting a dagger towards his heart.

Just as she was about to rush forward to help, Tao Kun's figure, like a ghost in the night, blocked her path, completely sealing her way.

At this moment, she suddenly understood.

From the moment she appeared, she had fallen into the meticulously crafted trap set by Tao Kun and Cheng Hao.

Chen Feng's momentary distraction provided Cheng Hao with an excellent opportunity to counterattack.

Chen Feng also sensed the danger and, with a slight movement, was about to dodge the fatal blow.

Cheng Hao's body suddenly stiffened, and the tip of a blade instantly pierced through his body.

The smug smile on his lips froze. As his body slowly fell, he desperately looked back, finally seeing clearly the person who had ambushed him.

It was Wei Qing!

He had dismembered Yang Kui, causing him to be severely injured.

Then he had eliminated the pawn he had cultivated for many years.

Finally, even he himself had died at the hands of the opponent.

Cheng Hao closed his eyes with immense hatred and unwillingness.

All of this happened too quickly.

Even Tao Kun and the other two had not noticed when Wei Qing appeared.
