Chapter 344
The Fall!
Chapter 344 The Fall!
With a single flap of its wings, the golden giant bird instantly sent the spirit fish and the three throwing knives flying!
At the same time, a raging golden wave of fire swept towards Xu Feng from beneath its wings.
Wherever the flames passed, rocks melted, the earth turned black, and the air became distorted!
The temperature is high enough to vaporize steel instantly!
This guy actually learned the Heavenly Roc Soaring Dragon Technique! No wonder his combat strength far surpasses others of the same level!
"not good!"
Xu Feng's pupils contracted sharply, and he retreated rapidly!
He also dodged the sea of fire with a twisted golden light.
Jin Yuyi's pupils suddenly contracted: "How do you know my clan's Golden Wings Soaring Through the Sky Technique?!"
However, Xu Feng didn't waste any words with him and used the same trick again, activating the illusion, domain, and flying knife once more.
A terrifying energy storm clashed and annihilated the golden sea of fire!
The giant golden bird kept flapping its wings.
The entire valley seemed to be gripped tightly by an invisible giant hand, and then—completely torn apart!
The earth collapsed, the mountain walls crumbled, and smoke and dust billowed into the sky!
Suddenly, a figure burst out through the smoke and dust; it was Xu Feng, looking disheveled!
"Trying to escape?"
Behind him, Jin Yuyi's eyes flashed with golden light, forcefully piercing through the smoke and dust to lock onto Xu Feng's figure as he retreated rapidly towards the rock wall.
"You can't escape!"
He clasped his hands together, and the golden bird suddenly shrank, transforming into a giant spear ten zhang long, burning with golden flames!
The spearhead was pointed at Xu Feng, and the terrifying killing intent was so strong it seemed to be tangible!
"The Heavenly Roc's God-Slaying Spear!"
Jin Yu roared, channeling all his power into this attack!
This spear embodies all of his cultivation as a Star God, and also incorporates the killing intent of the Heavenly Roc Fighting Dragon Technique!
When the spear is drawn, blood will surely be drawn!
He will surely kill the gods!
call out-!!!
The golden flaming spear tore through the sky, distorting space and leaving a charred trail in its wake!
Extremely fast!
boom!!!
The giant golden flaming spear slammed into Xu Feng's figure.
Time seemed to stand still at that moment.
The next instant, whoosh!
It pierced through Xu Feng's figure in an instant and disappeared into the distant mountains with a roar.
"What?!"
Jin Yuyi's pupils suddenly contracted.
He clearly felt that the power of his sure-kill spear had missed its mark!
"Hallucination?!"
He roared in disbelief.
At that moment, Xu Feng had already seized this fleeting opportunity!
Full power of mental energy!
boom!
The six golden spirit fish made of throwing knives disintegrated in mid-air and then reassembled.
It transformed into a three-zhang-long "golden giant sword" entirely formed from mental energy!
The greatsword shimmered with the heat of the crimson sun, the icy chill of the mystic ice, and the deadly poison of the jade shadow.
It also carries all of Xu Feng's mental energy at this moment!
This is another application of the transformation ability after the "Unnamed" secret technique has reached the "Grandmaster" proficiency level!
At the same time, the remaining spiritual power in Xu Feng's sea of consciousness was completely drained, transforming into an extremely terrifying "God-Shocking Tribulation".
He shot first, aiming for Jin Yuyi's brow!
"cut-!!!"
The giant sword with a three-colored gold base transformed into a golden rainbow that tore through the heavens and earth, instantly slashing towards Jin Yuyi!
Jin Yuyi's expression changed drastically.
However, the divine calamity struck first, causing his soul to tremble violently, his vision to go black, and his movements to slow down.
With that one strike, the golden giant sword was already slashing down in front of him!
"No-!!!"
He frantically channeled his remaining power, his golden wings returning to protect him as he retreated rapidly!
But it was too late.
clang-!!!!
The golden greatsword struck the wings, unleashing a deafening roar!
The wings, already riddled with wounds, were finally—under this sword strike—
Utterly shattered!
Countless golden feathers scattered and flew everywhere!
The sword's momentum hadn't subsided when it slashed fiercely into Jin Yuyi's chest!
Pfft—!
Blood gushed out!
A gruesome wound, deep enough to expose bone and almost splitting open the chest, appeared on Jin Yuyi's body!
The wound was scorched by the fiery heat of the blazing sun, frozen by the icy frost, and corroded by the deadly poison of the Azure Shadow!
The destructive power of the three attributes surged wildly into his body!
"Aaaaaah!!!"
Jin Yuyi let out an extremely shrill scream, and his body flew backward like a broken sack, crashing heavily into the collapsing mountain behind him!
Smoke and dust filled the air.
Xu Feng landed on the ground, kneeling on one knee, barely supporting his body with the golden greatsword.
His face was ashen, his breath was extremely weak, his body was covered in blood, and he had multiple fractures.
Even after completely refining their bodies, the alien powerhouses at the Star God Realm were still too "tough".
Even though Xu Feng's strength was no less than his opponent's, his physical strength was inferior.
Therefore, with the same force of recoil, he suffered more injuries.
Fortunately, the black-patterned suit was very powerful. Although it couldn't block the damage from the penetrating force, it at least prevented him from being burned.
Moreover, it withstood a large number of golden feather piercing attacks.
As expected of an ancient combat set that surpasses SSS rank!
Simultaneously.
The series of actions just now almost drained Xu Feng of all his strength.
But he stared intently at the direction where Jin Yuyi had fallen, his eyes still sharp as knives.
The smoke and dust slowly dissipated.
Amidst the ruins of the mountain, Jin Yuyi struggled to her feet.
The wound on his chest was shocking; blood stained his tattered robes, and he was so weak that he seemed about to collapse even when he stood up.
But he's not dead yet.
The vitality of those in the Star God Realm is terrifyingly tenacious.
"Heh—hehe—"
Jin Yuyi raised her head, a ferocious and crazed smile appearing on her blood-stained face.
"Xu Feng—you're strong—really strong—"
"But—you can't kill me—"
He raised his hand with trembling hands, revealing a blood-red pill in his palm.
"I will remember this grudge!"
"Wait for me"
Just then.
The intricate runes engraved on the surface of the pill in his hand suddenly flickered violently, and then—with a "poof," a wisp of green smoke appeared, and the runes collapsed!
Then, the rest of his clothes were also shattered.
"Cough!"
Jin Yuyi was stunned as she coughed up a mouthful of blood.
He stared in disbelief at the ruined pill in his hand, then looked up at Xu Feng, who was kneeling on one knee in the distance with a cold gaze.
"What—what did you do?!"
For the first time, his voice carried a hint of terror.
Hsu Feng did not answer.
He simply and slowly lowered his hand that was forming the hand seal.
Hundreds of obscure runes and strange curves faintly appeared on the ground around Jin Yuyi.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be several formations stacked together!
This is the Ling Shu Formation he has recently learned!
Then, Xu Feng had a sudden thought.
The three Star God Weapons slowly fell into his hands, and then he suddenly shot them towards Jin Yuyi.
Swish!
Seeing the flying knife coming, Jin Yuyi was horrified to find that, despite his serious injuries, his blood and qi had stiffened again.
He couldn't dodge it!
puff!
Three throwing knives pierced his heart instantly and emerged from his back.
"Well----"
Jin Yuyi looked down at the bloody hole in her chest, opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something.
But in the end, only a large mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of internal organs gushed out.
The light in his eyes quickly dimmed.
His body swayed, and he fell forward.
The breath was completely cut off.
Xu Feng looked at Jin Yuyi's corpse and let out a long, long breath.
Then, everything went black, and I almost lost consciousness.
Click!
Two figures staggered over and helped him up; they were the two "strongmen" whose bodies were already mostly broken.
"Heh—hehehehehehe!"
Suddenly, Xu Feng smiled.
He laughed so hard he coughed up blood, but he still couldn't stop!
This Golden Feather Intent is indeed powerful, stronger than he has ever seen before!
The power of the Heavenly Roc Dragon-Slaying Technique is evident!
Even so, he still killed him.
Xu Feng gasped for breath before finally managing to stand up.
He walked to Jin Yuyi's corpse, took off the other person's spatial ring, and then put the corpse away.
Then, he forced himself to start cleaning up the battlefield.
The fragments of the warriors must be collected—the remains of these spiritual creations still have research value.
The throwing knives must be retrieved, especially the three Star God Weapon throwing knives.
The array flags on the star chart must be retrieved.
And there's the Cloud-Cutting Blade—
Xu Feng searched through the rubble for a while and finally found his battle sword.
He sheathed his knife and inspected the battlefield again, confirming that no obvious personal traces had been left.
Then, he activated the illusion talisman and the invisibility belt, and dragging his battered body, he flew shakily toward the entrance of the Stone Gorge.
He felt like he could faint at any moment.
But he dared not stop.
When a Star God falls, strange phenomena will surely occur in the world.
Such a commotion just now will soon attract powerful figures to investigate.
He must return to Little Green Sky Mountain and settle everything before he is discovered.
As the sun fully rose, Xu Feng finally returned to the entrance of the Shixia Valley Secret Realm.
He forced himself to enter the secret realm and returned to Jinpeng Peak along the passage.
When he emerged from the secret chamber at the main entrance, he finally collapsed, his vision went black, and he fainted.
Meanwhile.
A thousand miles away, at the Heavenly Wind Imperial Court.
In a magnificent golden palace, a golden life tablet floating on a jade platform suddenly shattered into powder with a "crack".
The guards watching over the life tablets changed their expressions drastically and scrambled out of the hall.
"Oh no! The Southern King—the Southern King's life tablet is shattered!"
The entire Heavenly Wind Imperial Court was instantly shaken!
Xiaoqingqiong Mountain, Tianshu Peak.
Envoy Ling Feng suddenly opened his eyes and looked towards the northeast.
"The Star God Has Fallen—Who Was It?"
A hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, and then he calculated with his fingers.
A moment later, he frowned.
"The Southern King of the Heavenly Wind Imperial Court—Jin Yuyi?"
"It was him—who could have done it?"
The figure of the Envoy of the Deep Spring appeared in the hall, his expression equally solemn.
"Senior brother, you felt it too?"
Ling Feng nodded: "The fall of the Star God is a tragedy that grieves the heavens and earth. Although the strange phenomenon was deliberately concealed, it could not escape our perception."
"Who could it be?" Youquan asked. "Jin Yuyi just left me not long ago. Could she have been ambushed on her way back?"
"Possibly," Ling Feng pondered, "but someone capable of killing a Star God Realm expert—or at least someone of the same level—could be it?"
The two exchanged a glance, both seeing the doubt and wariness in each other's eyes.
"Oh no! If he dies, won't the Heavenly Wind Imperial Court pin the suspicion on us?!"
95
The two men's faces instantly turned grim as they rushed towards the battlefield.
the other side.
In the secret room, Xu Feng slowly opened his eyes and found himself lying in complete darkness.
He subconsciously scanned the area with his mental energy, and a splitting headache immediately struck him.
"Hiss!"
.
After taking a deep breath, he lay on the ground and carefully recalled what had happened.
He immediately realized what was happening and killed Jin Yuyi.
However, the continuous activation of "Seven Tribulations of Shattered Soul" and "Unnamed Transformation" during the battle had almost drained his consciousness. Now, the backlash was truly unpleasant.
"breathe----"
Xu Feng forced himself to slow his breathing and circulate the "Boundless Dharma".
A gentle flow of warm blood and qi began to circulate, nourishing the body riddled with wounds.
He slowly looked inward, his consciousness sinking into the world within his body.
In that chaotic and hazy space, the silver divine tree was stretching its branches and leaves, emitting a soft light.
At the base of the divine tree, a dense golden light was being enveloped, decomposed, and absorbed by countless silver roots.
It was Jin Yuyi's corpse!
The physical body of a Star God Realm expert contains extremely abundant life essence and blood energy, which is undoubtedly excellent nourishment for the Divine Tree.
Xu Feng could clearly sense it.
As Jin Yuyi's corpse was continuously digested, the divine tree shone brighter and brighter, and its branches and leaves grew and flourished at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The chaotic mist that had originally enveloped the surroundings also dissipated rapidly under the light of the divine tree.
After examining himself, Xu Feng let out a long sigh of relief.
This guy is the most dangerous enemy he has ever encountered.
It's surprising how difficult it is to kill a mere Star God Level 1.
It's likely that Jin Yu's intentions among the alien races are similar to Xu Feng's intentions among the human races.
They are all outcasts.
However, it is clear that Xu Feng is superior to Jin Yuyi.
Feeling his blood and mental energy gradually returning, he closed his eyes again and stopped thinking.
Soon, Xu Feng fell into a deep sleep.
After a nap.
Xu Feng slowly opened his eyes, feeling sore all over, but full of energy.
He stretched slightly and discovered that he was completely healed.
Satisfied, he immediately propped himself up and sat cross-legged.
Two days later, after he had fully recovered, he slowly walked out of the secret room.
Outside the door, Li Wen saw him return unharmed and immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "That was quite a commotion, be careful."
Xu Feng nodded and led Li Wen toward the main hall.
Before long, Little White and Snake came running over, excitedly calling out to him.
Then, Xiaofeng arrived in a hurry with his men.
"Brother! Something terrible has happened!"
"Jin Yuyi is dead!"
"The Heavenly Wind Imperial Court is now furious and has sent an envoy to question us, demanding an explanation from Little Azure Sky Mountain."
"Envoys Lingfeng and Youquan have personally gone to the scene to investigate, and have not yet returned."
Xu Feng remained expressionless: "Oh? Have you found out who did it?"
"Not yet," Xiaofeng shook his head. "The scene was completely destroyed, leaving almost no useful clues, but there are traces of human presence!"
"However—" He paused, lowering his voice even further, "the Heavenly Wind Imperial Court seems to suspect that it was Little Azure Sky Mountain that did this, after all, Jin Yuyi was attacked as soon as she left my mountain gate."
Xu Feng nodded slightly.
This was within his expectations.
Jin Yuyi died near the territory of Xiao Qingqiong Mountain, so the first place that Tianfeng Imperial Court suspected was naturally Xiao Qingqiong Mountain.
"What is the attitude of the two envoys?" Xu Feng asked.
"Envoy Ling Feng also seemed very annoyed, believing that someone was deliberately framing him in an attempt to provoke a war between the two sides."
"The envoy from Youquan then ordered all peaks to strengthen their defenses and strictly investigate all personnel who have recently left the area."
Xu Feng sneered inwardly.
Investigate, but no matter how hard you investigate, you won't find him.
He attended the banquet last night under the identity of "Jinmu" and then returned to Jinpeng Peak to "retreat in seclusion".
With the illusion charm and invisibility belt, plus the secret passage of the Ling Shu ruins, his movements were seamless.
Moreover, who could believe that a supreme war god could single-handedly kill a star god realm expert?
"Peak Master, there is one more thing."
Redbeard added.
"The master of the withered tree peak also left the mountain early this morning, heading in the same direction as the scene of the incident."
Xu Feng's eyes narrowed.
Even the withered tree is gone?
What was he trying to do? Was it just curiosity, or—had he sensed something?
The thought of the withered tree coveting the divine tree within him sent alarm bells ringing in Xu Feng's mind.
Could this old guy have sensed the aura of the divine tree from Jin Yuyi's corpse?
Although Jin Yuyi's body had been swallowed by the divine tree, some traces of the battle site would inevitably remain.
With the keen senses of an old monster like Kumu, he might actually be able to discover something.
"Understood," Xu Feng said calmly. "Pass down the order: Jinpeng Peak is on high alert. No retainer may leave the peak without my permission."
Xu Feng returned to the secret room, closed the door, and his face darkened.
The movement of the dead tree made him uneasy.
We must restore our strength as soon as possible, and — prepare for the worst.
He took out Jin Yuyi's spatial ring from his pocket.
As Xu Feng probed with his mental energy, his eyes lit up instantly.
As expected of a Star God Realm expert and the Southern King of the Heavenly Wind Imperial Court, his family's wealth is indeed substantial!
The ring has a considerable internal space, a full thirty cubic meters.
It was filled with all sorts of treasures:
Various rare medicinal herbs, spiritual fruits, ores, and metal materials were piled up like mountains.
Dozens of bottles of pills labeled with different effects, ranging from healing to cultivation, from breakthroughs to life preservation, were available.
There were more than a dozen weapons and armor pieces with extraordinary auras, all of which were at least SSS-grade.
Among them were two "pseudo-divine weapons" that emitted faint fluctuations of laws.
Dozens of scrolls and scrolls record the Golden Wing Clan's techniques and secret arts.
There are also a large number of confidential documents, maps, and intelligence from the Heavenly Wind Imperial Court.
"No wonder everyone wants to kill the strong and seize their treasures—"
Xu Feng sighed.
He transferred his most precious items—the pseudo-divine weapon, the core inheritance scroll of the Golden Winged Clan, and some life-saving pills—to his spatial ring.
Then he carefully collected all the spiritual fruits and materials among them.
Only then did he take out a spiritual fruit from the Golden Roc Peak's storehouse and begin to eat it.
"Click-clack—"
""
As soon as he swallowed the spiritual fruit, a warm feeling quickly rose within him.
"panel."
Name: Xu Feng
[Qi and Blood Value: 183129c]
"That's good. Once I've digested the Golden Feather Intent, I should be able to reach 20 C."
At that time, my Qi and blood will reach the limit of breaking through the Star God.
Once the "momentum" is elevated to the "domain" level, one can fully step into the Star God realm!
Xu Feng smiled with satisfaction and took out another spiritual fruit.
Even though consuming it would waste a lot of the spiritual fruit's energy, Xu Feng didn't care.
What he needs right now is "speed"!
three days later.
In the secret room, Xu Feng slowly opened his eyes.
His eyes held a restrained glint, and his breath was steady and long.
As soon as he stepped out of the secret room, Xiaofeng came to greet him, his expression not very good.
"A message has come from Tian Shu Peak, summoning all peak masters to the main hall for a meeting, as if there is something important to discuss."
Xu Feng's heart skipped a beat: "When?"
"Half an hour later."
"6
"Understood." Xu Feng nodded. "Xiao Feng, keep an eye on the house."
"yes!"
Tian Shu Peak, Main Hall.
The atmosphere was heavy.
The top ten peak masters gathered together, and the two envoys, Ling Feng and You Quan, sat in the main seats, their expressions not very good.
"Gentlemen."
Envoy Ling Feng spoke slowly, his voice low and deep: "Jin Yuyi, the Southern King of the Heavenly Wind Imperial Court, was ambushed on his return journey and it has been confirmed that he has perished."
Whoosh—
A suppressed gasp of surprise immediately rang out in the hall.
It really is the Southern King Jin Yuyi!
A powerful Star God Realm expert, truly dead?
-
"Who is so bold as to dare to intercept and kill a Star God Realm expert?" Peak Master Red Pheasant asked with a frown.
"I don't know," Envoy Youquan shook his head. "The energy remaining at the battle site is extremely chaotic."
There were traces of the Golden-Winged Clan's Heavenly Roc Dragon-Slaying Technique, as well as other unknown power fluctuations.
He swept his gaze across the peak masters in the hall, pausing slightly on Xu Feng in particular: "Jin Yuyi was attacked not long after leaving my Little Azure Sky Mountain. The Heavenly Wind Imperial Court has sent an interrogation letter, demanding an explanation from us."
"If this matter is not handled properly, it may trigger a full-scale conflict between the two sides."
The atmosphere in the hall became even more solemn.
The Little Azure Sky Mountain and the Heavenly Wind Imperial Court have always had constant friction. If war breaks out over this matter, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Could it be the work of Jin Yuyi's enemies?" Peak Master Qingxuan wondered.
"Possibly," Ling Feng nodded. "Before Jin Yuyi advanced to Star God, he made quite a few enemies."
But enemies capable of killing a Star God Realm expert are few and far between.
He paused, then looked at Xu Feng: "Jin Mu, you and Jin Yuyi are both from the Golden Wing Clan. Do you know who the Golden Wing Clan might have enemies?"
Xu Feng sneered inwardly, but his face showed a thoughtful expression: "Reporting to Your Excellency, the Southern King's actions are indeed domineering."
As far as I know, he had a blood feud with the Eagle Alliance humans in his early years, and later with the Great Xia humans.
I heard that they once had a deadly feud with the Tree Clan, the Fox Clan, and so on. Of course, I only heard about it, since I'm not familiar with the Golden Wing Clan.
He listed several of Jin Yuyi's possible enemies and went on and on.
Ling Feng and You Quan exchanged a glance and nodded slightly.
"We will send people to verify these clues," Ling Feng said, "but we need to give an explanation to the Tianfeng Imperial Court first."
He looked at everyone and said, "Recently, all peaks have strengthened their defenses, especially in the border areas. Any abnormalities must be reported immediately."
"Also—Kaneki."
Xu Feng's heart tightened: "Your subordinate is here."
"Jin Yuyi is, after all, one of your own kind. Take some time to investigate the place where he fell and see if you can find any more clues," Ling Feng instructed.
"Yes," Xu Feng replied respectfully.
You want me to check my own battlefield?
Or is he testing me?
He glanced at the dead tree and, finding it showed no unusual color, immediately fell silent.
The meeting continued for a while longer, mainly discussing how to respond to the questions from the Heavenly Wind Imperial Court and how to strengthen defenses.
After it ended, the peak masters left one after another.
Xu Feng walked out of the main hall, about to return to Golden Roc Peak, when he heard Hong Zhi's voice behind him: "Peak Master Jinmu, please wait."
Xu Feng turned around: "What instructions do you have for Peak Master Red Pheasant?"
Red Pheasant walked to his side, her phoenix eyes narrowing slightly as she looked him up and down: "You don't look too well today?"
Xu Feng felt a chill run down his spine, but he smiled bitterly: "I was too eager for quick results during my cultivation and almost suffered a qi deviation. I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Peak Master."
"Really?" Red Pheasant smiled faintly. "I thought you'd had a fight with someone."
Xu Feng's heart skipped a beat, but his expression remained unchanged: "Peak Master is joking. Within Golden Roc Peak, who could possibly challenge me?"
