The Mantis Stalks the Cicada, Unaware of the Oriole Behind?
Countless pale red blood gushed forth from the ground, flowing into his body like rivers flowing into the sea.
Beneath his feet, the second ripple slowly turned from red to orange.
His cultivation level also skyrocketed, rising directly from the Celestial Person Realm First Layer to the Celestial Person Realm Second Layer!
Just then, a colossal claw that blotted out the sky slammed down.
Wu Qingfeng raised both hands and met the attack head-on.
"Teleportation failed? You're only at the Celestial Person Realm Second Layer now. Killing you is as easy as turning my hand!"
Hu Xiaotian was overjoyed and increased his strength by three points.
However, faced with this thunderous attack, Wu Qingfeng did not defend at all, but poured all his strength into the offensive—this was clearly a life-or-death fighting style!
"Boom--!"
A deafening explosion ripped through the air, sending Wu Qingfeng flying hundreds of meters before he crashed to the ground, severely injured.
Hu Xiaotian was also slightly injured by the recoil.
Even Hu Xiaotian couldn't understand why Wu Qingfeng would act this way.
But it soon found out the answer.
Wu Qingfeng and the blood dripping from his wounds disappeared the moment they touched the ground. At the same time, pale red blood energy surged up from the ground and frantically flowed into Wu Qingfeng's body.
The wounds on his body were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye!
"How about that? Now you understand!"
Wu Qingfeng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and burst into wild laughter:
"Behind me lies Bloodthirst Formation, its blood energy flowing endlessly to aid my healing and breakthrough—even your blood is at my disposal!"
"And you! You will only get more and more injured, and eventually be worn down to death by me!"
A flicker of fear crossed Hu Xiaotian's face, but he quickly regained his composure.
"What a joke! I'll just blast you to death with a single blow, then let's see how your shabby formation can save you!"
Having said that, the giant white tiger, which was twenty feet tall, kicked off with all four paws, and its massive body pounced on Wu Qingfeng like an arrow released from a bow!
Seeing this, Wu Qingfeng still chose to fight at the cost of his own life.
After an incense stick has burned.
On the battlefield, the giant white tiger had lost one eye and one ear, its tail was severed at the root, and its blood energy was being continuously drained by the Bloodthirst Formation. At this moment, Hu Xiaotian was at the end of its strength.
But a smile appeared on its face.
Because opposite them, Wu Qingfeng was lying motionless in the ruins not far away.
After his Demon Transformation, Wu Qingfeng's wings were broken off, and most of his body was missing. If it weren't for the constant flow of blood energy keeping him alive, he would have died on the spot.
In the end... I, the Emperor, have won.
Hu Xiaotian could no longer maintain his beast form. His body shrank back to the size of a ten-foot-long White-Foreheaded Tiger, and he walked slowly but with unwavering determination toward Wu Qingfeng.
At this moment, Wu Qingfeng couldn't utter a single sound.
He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, which landed entirely in the tiger's claws, and then he struggled to close his claws together.
In an instant, within the Four Symbols Formation, the True Essence of Xiao Tianqi and the other three was completely drained, and a three-zhang-tall white tiger phantom was once again formed!
Hu Xiaotian abruptly stopped, looking up at the white tiger phantom in mid-air, his eyes filled with terror.
In its current state, it simply cannot withstand the attack of this phantom!
As Wu Qingfeng's claws moved slowly, the white tiger phantom in mid-air also moved accordingly.
Just as Wu Qingfeng was about to activate the illusory figure and completely finish off Hu Xiaotian—
Six dark figures appeared out of thin air, piercing Hu Xiaotian with a sword before the phantom could appear!
[Successfully defeated a Tier 6, Second-Tier Tiger Demon, gaining 200 million Demon Points.]
The white tiger phantom crashed down, slamming directly onto the six phantom images.
"Boom!"
After the loud bang, the phantom's energy was exhausted, and it slowly dissipated.
Just as the phantom struck Lu Feng, Lu Feng used the Startling Thunder Flash to teleport behind Wu Qingfeng and thrust out his Flowing Cloud Sword!
The previous attack had lost 70% of its power due to the Startling Thunder Flash, and with the addition of the fifth level of the Perfected Hundred Beasts Body-Tempering Art, it failed to cause Lu Feng any damage whatsoever.
Inside the Four Symbols Formation, the four people were pale-faced, but the moment they saw Lu Feng appear behind Wu Qingfeng, their eyes simultaneously blazed with hope.
If they can kill Wu Qingfeng, the four of them will be saved!
At this moment, they had placed all their hopes on Lu Feng.
However, just as the Flowing Cloud Sword was about to pierce through—
Wu Qingfeng's figure disappeared again, reappearing a hundred meters away.
"The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind."
Wu Qingfeng sneered.
"I kept this last resort to prevent Hu Xiaotian from self-destructing, but I never expected... I would use it on you."
"Although I never expected that you would be the one standing here in the end, did you think I wouldn't have foreseen this situation?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Qingfeng slammed his claws against his mutilated half-body, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
He then condensed all the spurting blood into a fist-sized blood clot.
"What is Wu Qingfeng doing?! What other conspiracy is he plotting?!" Inside the Four Symbols Formation, Lu Qingshan's face turned deathly pale.
"I don't know..." Song Xuanji shook his head this time.
Wu Qingfeng grasped the blood clot in the tiger's claws, and with all his might, squeezed it hard—
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In Canglan City, Guan Shanhai and a group of other Grandmaster all self-destructed!
Dozens of Grandmaster- level experts instantly turned into a cloud of blood mist. The aftershocks of the self-destruction swept outwards, tearing apart all the surrounding martial artists and demonic beasts.
For a time, the entire Canglan City was filled with the sound of rumbling.
The blood mist only paused for a moment before disappearing completely into the ground.
Immediately afterwards, a massive amount of blood energy gushed out from the ground and surged wildly into Wu Qingfeng's body, continuously repairing his damaged physique.
"Brother Qin! What methods did Wu Qingfeng use?! Brother Guan and the others... why did they all self-destruct?!" Lu Qingshan was horrified and turned to ask Qin Bailian.
"I don't know either..." Qin Bailian's shock was no less than Lu Qingshan's.
Just then, Song Xuanji slowly spoke:
"Although I don't know what kind of evil magic this is... Brother Qin was able to escape this calamity, probably because he was inside the Four Symbols Formation!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Bailian's back was instantly soaked with cold sweat, and he felt a sense of relief, as if he had survived a disaster.
At this moment, Lu Feng was also deeply shocked by Wu Qingfeng's methods.
Guan Shanhai and all the other Grandmaster were thus detonated—what kind of method was this?
Just how many cards does Wu Qingfeng still have up his sleeve?
With that thought in mind, Lu Feng no longer hesitated and unleashed the full power of the Phantom Sword Art, charging towards Wu Qingfeng!
Six figures simultaneously lunged at Wu Qingfeng, and just as they were about to reach him—
Two ripples, one red and one orange, suddenly lit up beneath Wu Qingfeng's feet!
In an instant, the speed of Lu Feng and the other five phantoms became incredibly slow!
Immediately afterwards, Wu Qingfeng swept his claws horizontally.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The five phantoms dissipated one after another.
Because of the close proximity, all five Sword Qi struck Wu Qingfeng, but failed to harm him in the slightest.
At this moment, Wu Qingfeng had recovered some of his strength, and with his Demon Transformation body as hard as iron, these Sword Qi no longer posed a threat.
