"Just now, you were the one attacking me."

Feng Yun slowly held the Green Phoenix Sword in his right hand horizontally before his chest, letting the savage rain be shredded into nothingness the moment it came within an inch of the blade.

"Now it's time for offense and defense to switch!"

The black-robed evil soul master seemed to have heard the greatest joke in the world, his shrill laughter directly drowning out the thunder overhead.

"Keh keh keh!"

"Offense and defense switch?"

"A puny Soul Grandmaster barely over level twenty—who gave you that courage?

"I'm a fallen Soul Ancestor!"

Boom!

What answered Feng Yun was a sky full of dark-purple gloom.

The black-robed evil soul master had been thoroughly enraged.

The two purple soul rings beneath his feet, symbols of a thousand years, blazed with brilliant light.

His third and fourth soul skills went berserk at the same time!

"Die for me!"

Countless bucket-thick Dark Purple Demon Vines burst from the ground, strangling toward Feng Yun.

Nauseating corrosive blood-qi gushed out.

Wherever that terrifying corrosive acid mist passed, plants instantly turned into puddles of black water.

For a moment, the air was filled with a sharp, fishy stench.

"Yun'er, don't clash with him head-on. His corrosive blood-qi can wear down your soul power!"

Yun Yun's cool voice, like a proud snow lotus, carried gravity, and even a faint, almost imperceptible trace of concern.

"Don't worry, Master. I never planned to fight him head-on."

Feng Yun stamped his foot, and pale-green Dou Qi surged from both feet like a raging gale.

The effects of Wind Soaring Step and Flowing Wind Empowerment combined.

In that instant, Feng Yun's figure directly turned into a stream of green wind.

Under the effect of Flowing Wind Empowerment, the surrounding air resistance and friction were weakened to the extreme.

His entire body was like a ghost gliding over ice, madly making irregular right-angle turns through the gaps in the dense vine net, as if defying the laws of physics.

Even the torrential rain could not touch his body.

Hiss!

A Demon Vine brushed past his afterimage and smashed a tree to pieces.

"How can he be this fast?!"

The corners of the black-robed evil soul master's eyes twitched violently.

In his sight, that nine-year-old boy was so fast he dragged out a continuous string of afterimages.

His own vine-net prison could not even touch the hem of the other party's clothes!

How could a Soul Grandmaster's speed possibly be this absurd?

"Of all martial arts under heaven, only speed is unbreakable. Don't you understand, sir?"

Feng Yun's voice rang out in the forest, sometimes from the left, sometimes from the right.

He was not only dodging attacks, but also gathering momentum.

Even if the other party was an evil soul master, and his soul power was nearly twenty levels higher than his own, it did not mean he had no chance to turn the tables.

With the Green Phoenix Sword in his hand!

"Sharp Wind Condensation, open for me!"

Hum—!

An incomparably dazzling green radiance suddenly erupted from the Green Phoenix Sword.

The originally formless wind substance condensed in that instant into visible, tangible wind blades.

As they flickered in and out, even the surrounding air and water droplets let out tearing sounds under the unbearable strain.

"Try this—Wind Blade Barrage!"

While moving at high speed, Feng Yun swung backhanded with a furious gale.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Twelve translucent wind blades shot out madly in triangular formations, crisscrossing patterns, and spirals!

With the enhancement of Sharp Wind Condensation, these wind blades possessed terrifying cutting and piercing properties.

Pfft—!

The vampire demon vines, which had originally been indestructible and possessed powerful regeneration, were sliced cleanly apart the instant they touched those cyan wind blades, like a hot knife cutting through butter!

Dark purple, viscous sap splattered across the sky, only to be shredded to pieces by the violent wind pressure before it could hit the ground.

"Ah! My demon vines!"

The black-robed evil soul master let out a scream.

Because the vines were connected to his main body, the agony of his main vine being savagely shredded twisted his face completely out of shape.

"You damned little beast! I'll turn you into the lowest-grade blood food!"

He had gone utterly mad.

The soul power in his entire body poured out recklessly, and he even began overdrawing his life force.

"Demon Vine Blood Thorn!"

Blood thorns filled the sky, pouring down like a torrential storm.

They forced Feng Yun to condense the Refined Steel Armor again and take them head-on.

Bang, bang, bang!

Feng Yun was shaken back again and again, and another trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

But his eyes were terrifyingly bright.

"Yun'er, now!"

Yun Yun's voice rang out once more.

"After his main vine released the blood thorns, it entered a retraction period with several full seconds of stiffness!"

As a former Dou Huang expert, Yun Yun's combat insight was incredibly sharp, and she instantly caught that fleeting chance of survival.

At that moment, though the rain had not stopped, Feng Yun's speed was so fast that even the rain could no longer catch up.

Under the black-robed evil soul master's utterly horrified gaze, Feng Yun not only did not retreat, he instead faced the mass of retracting vines filling the sky and drew out a dazzling cyan streak!

A frontal charge!

"Gale Stab!"

Feng Yun poured every last bit of the churning wind-attribute soul power remaining in his body into the Green Phoenix Sword without holding anything back.

Screech—!

Faintly, a green phoenix's cry seemed to ring through the dense forest, piercing the nine heavens.

At that moment, the light on the Green Phoenix Sword was no longer dazzling, but restrained to the extreme.

Feng Yun's entire body transformed into a point of cyan flowing light that seemed capable of piercing through all things.

"Get the hell out of my way!

"First soul skill, Entangle! Entangle!!!"

Sensing the threat of death, the evil soul master screamed madly, commanding the remaining vines to block him.

But before the Gale Stab, which had been layered with Sharp Wind's extreme piercing and cutting properties and then had its power doubled through the Green Phoenix Sword, those soul skills he was so proud of were pathetically fragile.

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

The cyan flowing light flashed past!

All the demon vines blocking the way were instantly split in two, their cut surfaces smooth as mirrors.

Fast!

Too fast!

The black-robed evil soul master's pupils shrank to pinpoints.

He did not even have time to react with a second soul skill

before that speck of cyan flowing light had already expanded infinitely in his retinas.

"No—!"

Pfft!

A dull sound rang out as the sharp blade sank into flesh.

The Green Phoenix Sword stabbed into the black-robed evil spirit master's brow and burst out through the back of his skull!

Boom!

The berserk wind element exploded the instant it pierced through, shredding his brain and spirit into nothingness.

The black-robed evil spirit master's scream cut off abruptly.

The expression on his pallid face was forever frozen in extreme terror and disbelief.

The eerie red glow in his eyes gradually lost all focus.

He crashed to the ground.

Splash!

Feng Yun half-knelt in the muddy meridians as if all his strength had left him.

He could barely use the Green Phoenix Sword to hold himself up.

His face was as pale as paper.

The wounds on his calf and left arm were still oozing blood.

Waves of needle-like emptiness came from within his meridians.

"Ha... haha... An evil spirit master Soul Ancestor? Nothing special."

Feng Yun grinned.

His young face was streaked with rain and blood, making him look somewhat ferocious.

But more than that, there was a fury that came almost like a release.

"Yun'er, you did very well."

A plain white figure quietly condensed beside Feng Yun.

Yun Yun looked at Feng Yun before her, her cool, beautiful eyes filled with gratification, yet also a faint ache of distress.

She reached out with her slightly illusory jade hand, as if wanting to stroke the boy's head.

But in the end, it paused in midair and turned into a soft sigh.

Feng Yun looked up at his peerlessly elegant, cool-tempered master, then suddenly grinned.

A little weakly, he said, "Master, is there a reward? Like... a kiss or something?"

The warm, aching atmosphere instantly vanished.

Yun Yun glared at him in shy annoyance, then reached out with a jade finger and jabbed him hard in the forehead.

"At a time like this, you still can't be serious. What a rebellious disciple!"

"Ow... it hurts, it hurts! Master, I'm wounded!"

Feng Yun rubbed his forehead and cried out exaggeratedly, but his heart surged with emotion.

However, when Feng Yun's gaze swept toward Falling Rock Town not far away, the smile in his eyes gradually disappeared.

In its place was a heavy sorrow.

Nannan.

That little girl with pigtails who would sweetly call him "big brother," who would clap in worship just because he played around with a pair of chopsticks, who was as lively as a little sun, would never come back again.

"...This damned Douluo Continent."

Feng Yun clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms.

This was the first time, outside of the novel, that he truly understood the world of Douluo Continent again.

He had almost forgotten that Fallen Spirit Masters existed in this world!

Fallen Spirit Masters ran rampant, and ordinary people were treated like weeds.

In this world where even the gods tacitly allowed slaughter and chaos, weakness was the original sin!
