As Yuan was flying away into the sky.
Yuan Chengyu had suffered a lot of anger in the great formation before, but now he was free from the formation's troubles.
His gaze towards Leng Yuexi and the other two was icy cold; it was time to settle accounts with them.
He said to Yuan Wanrong with resentment:
"It's our turn to make a move. Those guys gave us a real hard time just now."
Yuan Wanrong was not as radical as him, and hesitated before saying:
"Chengyu, we're still injured. Why don't we rest and recover first? They can't escape anyway."
Yuan Chengyu didn't have her patience, and said disdainfully:
"What are you afraid of? We are all top-tier Great Emperors, invincible among our peers."
If we hadn't accidentally fallen into the great formation earlier, would we be in such a sorry state? I can't swallow this insult.
Don't forget what Brother Zheng told us to do; we came here on a mission.
Encouraged by Yuan Chengyu, Yuan Wanrong finally agreed.
The two, oblivious to their own mortality, charged towards Leng Yuexi and the other two.
Leng Yuexi looked at the two of them with a calm and indifferent expression.
Ao Ling showed no sign of nervousness, but muttered a question in confusion.
"Sister Yuexi, why aren't these two running away? Why are they stupidly running this way? Aren't they just courting death?"
Leng Yuexi's voice was cold and clear, "No matter what choice they make, the result will be the same."
When Yuan Chengyu and Yuan Wanrong approached Leng Yuexi and the others, they discovered that Qin Feng was missing.
Qin Feng naturally looked down on the two of them; he had already set his sights on Yuan Zheng.
The two were stunned for a moment, but they couldn't care less about anything else. Two blue sword beams lit up and went straight for Leng Yuexi and Ao Ling's vital points.
Leng Yuexi's eyes narrowed, and she casually flicked out two icy sword energies, easily deflecting the incoming attack.
With just a quick move, one can discern the relative strengths of both sides.
Yuan Chengyu and Yuan Wanrong exchanged a glance, their brows furrowed with seriousness, as if things had once again taken them by surprise.
Especially Yuan Chengyu, whose face had lost all contempt and mockery.
"This is not right. How could someone from the lower realm be so strong?"
"We are both outstanding members of the Yuan family, and we grew up in the privileged environment of the Immortal Realm. This is impossible."
Just then, the two of them also heard a series of thunderous explosions, as well as Yuan Zheng's incredulous exclamation.
"Impossible! How could this be? How could the Heavenly Dao respond to you? How could the Heavenly Punishment Lightning be used by you!"
The two felt a chill run down their spines, wondering if they had misheard, and couldn't help but look in Yuan Zheng's direction.
That one glance sent shivers down their spines, making their souls fly to the heavens.
They saw a sky full of red lightning surrounding the vanished Qin Feng, and to their astonishment, Qin Feng ended Yuan Zheng's life with a single sword strike.
This scene shocked Yuan Chengyu and Yuan Wanrong, and their faces turned deathly pale.
Even seeing it with my own eyes, it's still hard to believe.
Leng Yuexi also glanced at Qin Feng's condition, and seeing that he was alright, she looked away.
Her expression was indifferent as she opened her palm and clenched it tightly.
A giant icy hand appeared in the area where Yuan Chengyu and Yuan Wanrong were, moving in sync with Leng Yuexi's actions.
Sensing the chilling killing intent, the two quickly snapped back to their senses.
Yuan Chengyu exclaimed in surprise, "A formation? When did we get trapped in a great formation?"
Yuan Wanrong reminded, "Stop saying such useless things, let's use our combined attack technique to break through first."
Azure and light blue sword energy rose up, alternating constantly as the two shifted positions, eventually merging almost into one, transforming into a thick blue water dragon.
With a roar, the water dragon charged upwards against the descending, icy giant hand.
Boom!
The water dragon was repelled and transformed into two blood-stained figures, Yuan Chengyu and Yuan Wanrong.
The giant hand was unharmed, only swaying slightly, and continued to clench.
Yuan Chengyu was terrified, feeling as if a great disaster was about to befall him. He shouted, "You can't kill me, or my father will not let you off the hook!"
How could Leng Yuexi be threatened by him? She had already put Yuan Hong, a Golden Immortal, on her kill list, so why would she be afraid of an unknown person?
In the horrified and desperate gazes of Yuan Chengyu and Yuan Wanrong, the giant icy hand clenched tightly, ending their lives.
Leng Yuexi moved the two people's belongings to her own little world.
After collecting Yuan Zheng's corpse, Qin Feng saw that Leng Yuexi had also dealt with the enemy. He wanted to test whether "Heavenly Wrath" would receive a response from the Heavenly Dao every time it was used.
He exuded a powerful aura and uttered a soft rebuke, "Heaven's wrath."
The lightning within its body coiled around the Star Sword, making it look like a lightning sword, much like the Sword of Heavenly Punishment.
To Qin Feng's disappointment, he did not receive a response from Heaven this time.
Thunder rumbled in the sky, a phenomenon that had occurred before. These thunderbolts were not divine punishment; the two are very different in power.
Even without the blessing of red lightning, the power of "Heavenly Wrath" remains unchanged.
Qin Feng frowned and pondered.
"What's going on? We did respond during the two previous battles against foreign enemies, so why aren't we responding now? Does it mean we can only respond when there's an external enemy?"
Before he could think further, he was interrupted by several familiar voices.
It was Zhuge Tian, Xue Luo, Ye Ling, and the others who had dispersed earlier. Hearing the thunder, they knew that enemies were coming again and rushed over.
They surrounded Qin Feng, asking him questions out of curiosity.
"Qin Feng, what about those enemies? Did you take care of them all?"
"Who are these people who came this time? Could it be that they are from the Black Fiend Immortal Palace again?"
"So, how effective were our previous strategies?"
"Tell us what's going on."
Leng Yuexi and Ao Ling also came to Qin Feng's side.
Qin Feng smiled and said to them, "Seniors, I didn't expect to see you again so soon."
Zhuge Tian sighed and said, "Yes, the enemy is coming too frequently. Tell us what's going on."
Qin Feng then slowly recounted the events, which delighted Zhuge Tian and the others.
"Haha, as long as it works, that's good. A grand formation paired with heavenly punishment, brilliant!"
"I knew this formation was extraordinary, but I didn't expect it to be so powerful that it could instantly kill a Great Emperor."
"Having learned their lesson this time, the people from the Black Fiend Immortal Palace and the Yuan family should not dare to act rashly again."
"I think so too. If they don't have the determination to fight to the death, we should be safe."
After exchanging pleasantries, the group dispersed.
Their strategy of combining the grand formation with the heavenly tribulation worked, and they were in a good mood.
Qin Feng's thoughts were different from theirs. He was not so optimistic. He knew that whether it was the Black Fiend Immortal Palace or the Yuan family, they would definitely send people.
As for when, he didn't know, which made things worse.
If you're a thief for a thousand days, how can you guard against thieves for a thousand days?
This is too passive; we can only wait for others to attack us passively, which won't do.
He must solve this problem at its root, otherwise it will never end.
The people who were causing them trouble were in the Immortal Realm, and he couldn't reach them at all on the Heavenly Desolate Continent.
He took out the concealing stone and stroked it, reaffirming his resolve: he wanted to advance to the Xuanxian realm and go see the Immortal Realm.
