“We have no ill intentions; we are merely passing through this area,” Gu Yifeng said again. He knew that such a lie would soon be exposed, so he simply told the truth.
"Passing through here?" Feng Yuan glanced around, a mocking smile playing on his lips. He sneered, "Do you think I'm a fool?"
"You..." Gu Yifeng was speechless. He had indeed not told the truth, but Feng Yuan completely disregarded his feelings and still chose to expose his lie.
“I hate liars the most, especially despicable and shameless people like you. You can choose to continue lying, but the result will be even more miserable, I guarantee it,” Feng Yuan said calmly, his tone still cold and ruthless, as if announcing Gu Yifeng’s fate.
"Since you insist on this, I have no choice but to fight to the death!"
Gu Yifeng gritted his teeth and said that he knew the other party was deliberately provoking him to force him to take action. He was filled with resentment, but he had no choice but to fight back desperately.
Gu Yifeng threw the bead in his hand, and a strange wave was released from the bead. Suddenly, a brilliant light bloomed in the void, and a layer of light enveloped Gu Yifeng and Feng Yuan, blocking everyone's prying eyes.
"This is... an array?" Gu Yifeng's heart clenched violently, his mind reeling with shock.
This bead is protected by an array; no wonder he couldn't detect its existence before.
"Just a trivial skill." Feng Yuan said indifferently, casually unleashing a strike. Instantly, a destructive aura swept out, and with a loud bang, the light screen trembled violently, its luster dimming, as if it might collapse at any moment.
Seeing this, Gu Yifeng's heart seemed to stop. He stared at Feng Yuan in disbelief. What kind of attack was this? It was so powerful.
"Buzz." The bead trembled faster and faster. Suddenly, a terrifying aura burst forth from the bead, and in an instant, a huge figure appeared between heaven and earth, covered in purple-gold armor. Its body was towering and boundless, like a war machine, exuding a monstrous battle aura.
"That's... a Holy Spirit Beast!" Gu Yifeng's heart trembled. The Holy Spirit Beast was a notorious ferocious beast in the Desolate Region. Once it reached adulthood, it could rival a Saint Transformation expert!
"Roar!" The Holy Spirit Beast roared to the sky, its roar shaking the heavens. A bolt of purple-gold lightning shot out at incredible speed, piercing through the void and heading straight for Feng Yuan in an instant. The thunderous pressure caused the surrounding space to tremble wildly and twist slightly, as if it were about to collapse.
Seeing this, Feng Yuan's gaze froze, and he felt that everything had gone against his expectations.
He came to save people because the bead in Gu Yifeng's hand was a treasure of immeasurable value. If he could obtain it, it would be of great help to the sect.
But to his surprise, Gu Yifeng, holding the bead, refused to return it and even tried to kill him to silence him. Fortunately, he encountered this expert; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
"This guy actually has a Holy Spirit Pearl. He must be a scion of a powerful force in some world," the man who made the move muttered to himself. Although he didn't recognize Gu Yifeng, he had guessed his identity.
"If you give it to me, I will leave immediately." Feng Yuan was silent for a moment, then looked up at Gu Yifeng and slowly uttered a sentence.
As he finished speaking, a disdainful voice rang out: "You think I'd believe that?"
Feng Yuan's eyes flickered, then he sighed and said, "If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do. Aren't you going to make a move?"
Gu Yifeng and the other two exchanged glances. Feng Yuan clearly did not intend to give up the Holy Spirit Pearl. Since that was the case, they had no choice but to fight to the death!
In an instant, terrifying killing intent emanated from the three of them, enveloping the void. Each of them exuded a terrifying aura, all of them reaching the fifth level of the Yuanhuang realm.
"Kill!" Gu Yifeng roared and struck out with his palm. A terrifying palm print blasted out, containing boundless and majestic suppressing rules. The entire void paused for a moment, and terrifying auras descended, making Feng Yuan almost unable to breathe.
This pressure was too strong; even someone at the seventh or eighth level of the Yuanhuang realm couldn't withstand it.
However, facing the powerful offensive of Gu Yifeng and the other two, Feng Yuan's eyes showed no fear, but were filled with intense fighting spirit. He stepped into the void and flames suddenly ignited on his body. Flame runes surrounded his body, making him look like a fire warrior, heroic and extraordinary.
"Bang, bang, bang..." Several deafening collision sounds rang out in succession. The flame runes on Feng Yuan's body trembled wildly, and then exploded with a bang. Gu Yifeng's body was blasted away, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Thump." Gu Yifeng fell heavily to the ground, his face pale and his eyes dull. He knew that today was probably the end for him. Feng Yuan's strength was too great, and even the three of them working together could not do anything to him.
The other two looked on with complicated expressions. They had come this far with Gu Yifeng, going through life and death together, and had long since formed a deep friendship. Seeing their good brother fall at this moment, they couldn't help but feel extremely sad.
"I know what you're thinking." Feng Yuan looked at the other two and said calmly, "You should be glad. If it weren't for our past friendship, you would have been dead long ago. I don't want anyone to use this as an excuse after this is over. Otherwise, I will show no mercy."
"We will keep our promise and dare not break it," the two said in unison, sighing inwardly.
"Get lost," Feng Yuan said, waving his hand.
The two bowed to Feng Yuan, then turned and left.
Gu Yifeng stared at Feng Yuan, his eyes filled with intense hatred. This matter was definitely not over!
"Aren't you going to get lost?" Feng Yuan raised an eyebrow and said coldly.
"Hmph!" Gu Yifeng snorted coldly and left with a flick of his sleeve.
Watching Gu Yifeng's departing figure, Feng Yuan shook his head and said, "Foolish!"
After saying that, he took a step forward and walked straight toward the cliff.
At the bottom of the cliff, in a secluded valley, Qin Xuan sat cross-legged beside an ancient tree, recovering from his injuries. He recalled the battle scene from earlier, his mind still reeling.
This battle made him realize that the peak of the Yuan King realm was not as weak as he had imagined. In fact, the martial artists at the sixth level of the Yuan Emperor realm were extremely powerful. They possessed their own Dao, and their strength varied greatly even among those at the same level. For example, Gu Yifeng had just revealed a Dao, which was the rule of space. It was enough to change the shape of space, instantly turning a region into a muddy swamp, making it impossible for the enemy to move an inch.
Moreover, the sword strike that Feng Yuan just unleashed was extremely domineering and powerful. With a single thought, thousands of sword beams erupted, covering the sky and the earth, seemingly capable of destroying everything.
Of course, the main reason is that his cultivation level is too low, only at the fourth level of the Yuan King realm. If he were at the fifth level of the Yuan Emperor realm, even if Feng Yuan were incredibly powerful, he would never have been able to walk away from him alive!
