The fierce duel between Cui Dazhuang and Alyssa reached its climax. Cui Dazhuang's momentum was unstoppable, and he fought with increasing ferocity. In this life-or-death battle, his "Dragon Tiger Strength" technique showed faint signs of a breakthrough.
As Alyssa watched Cui Dazhuang's momentum grow stronger, a sense of panic welled up inside her.
She had initially thought that with her unpredictable attack style and profound skill, she could easily defeat Cui Dazhuang. But the man before her was like a hard rock; no matter how she attacked, he could skillfully deflect her attacks, and he even continued to grow stronger in the battle.
"How can this big guy be so troublesome!" Alyssa gritted her teeth, cursing inwardly, "Am I going to ruin my hundred years of cultivation at his hands?"
"Witch, prepare to die!" At first, Alyssa's unpredictable attacks made Cui Dazhuang struggle to understand them. But as the battle progressed, through constant observation and probing, Cui Dazhuang gradually made Alyssa's misty offensive tactics clearer before his eyes.
Seizing a small opening in Alyssa's attack, Cui Dazhuang shouted and leaped into the air like a cannonball, using his powerful leg strength.
At this moment, all his strength was concentrated in his right fist, every muscle taut as hard as steel, exuding a heart-stopping sense of power.
A deafening roar erupted, and he seemed to transform into an enraged dragon, crashing down upon Alyssa.
This punch embodied Cui Dazhuang's lifelong strength and will. The surrounding air seemed to be squeezed by an invisible giant hand, emitting a loud "buzzing" sound, forming a clearly visible air wave that swept towards Alyssa.
Alyssa sensed the danger and knew she was in trouble. She tried to hide and run away, but it was too late. "No! I can't let him defeat me like this!"
Her mind raced, trying to find a way to escape, but her body became incredibly sluggish under the immense pressure.
"I can't die here, I'm immortal..." She gritted her teeth and braced herself to meet the thunderous blow.
With a piercing scream, her body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into a stone pillar in the palace. The immense impact caused the pillar to collapse, sending shards of stone raining down in all directions.
Alyssa's body slowly collapsed, and her once stunningly beautiful face aged rapidly at a visible pace.
Her skin lost its former luster, becoming loose and wrinkled with deep and shallow lines. Her once jet-black hair turned completely white, and she transformed into a frail old woman.
At this moment, she was filled with resentment, "Why? Why did I fail... My youth, my strength... are all gone..."
Overstan witnessed this scene and was utterly horrified.
In his eyes, Alyssa had been almost invincible, yet she had been defeated and killed by Cui Dazhuang's fierce attack. At this moment, he was so shocked that his face turned pale, his legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground, losing all strength and support.
In fact, Cui Dazhuang and Alyssa were evenly matched in cultivation. However, Alyssa's sinister techniques were precisely countered by the powerful and masculine force of the Dragon-Tiger Strength. Nevertheless, in this fierce battle, Cui Dazhuang also suffered considerable damage and sustained serious injuries.
Seeing this, Liu Feng took out a bottle of precious Rejuvenation Pills from his pocket and handed it to Cui Dazhuang. This Rejuvenation Pill could quickly heal serious injuries and restore vitality.
Without hesitation, Cui Dazhuang swallowed the pill. A moment later, he felt a warm current flowing slowly through his body, and his injuries gradually improved wherever it reached. The pain in his wounds, which had been throbbing, gradually lessened, and the severed meridians began to heal slowly.
While everyone was focused on the outcome of the battle, Liu Feng had already discovered a hidden corner of the palace where many ragged girls, their eyes filled with fear and despair, were imprisoned. He was the first to walk over.
These girls were extremely weak; some didn't even have the strength to stand and could only collapse on the cold ground. Their bodies were covered in wounds, old and new intertwined, telling the tragic story of the torment they had suffered.
Some girls had their hair disheveled and spread across their faces, obscuring most of their haggard features. Others were trembling, muttering fearful words over and over.
Looking at the pitiful girls, Liu Feng felt a surge of pity. He gently comforted them, "Girls, wait a little longer, someone will come to rescue you."
Then, the group explored various parts of the palace and made an unexpected discovery.
Beside the pool of blood, they found a tattered parchment scroll containing a fragmented cultivation technique practiced by Alyssa, called the "Crimson Codex".
According to the records on the parchment scroll, this practice was extremely evil, requiring daily bathing and drinking of young girls' blood to enhance one's strength and maintain an ageless appearance.
Liu Feng frowned, a hint of disgust flashing in his eyes, and without hesitation burned the evil parchment scroll.
In a secret chamber of the palace, they also found a stone box containing several spirit stones that emitted a five-colored light. These spirit stones were crystal clear and contained rich spiritual energy; they were extremely rare treasures.
Following the secret passage through which the blood pool drained its waste, they arrived at a mountain pass. To Liu Feng's delight, he discovered five Amethyst Ginseng plants, a key ingredient for refining Qi Gathering Pills, which had always been extremely rare.
This will be their biggest gain from this trip. With the help of the Qi Gathering Pill, Liu Fei and Lin Hao will be able to successfully break through to the Qi Refining stage.
Just as everyone was immersed in the joy of obtaining the treasure, a rumbling sound suddenly came from afar. The sound grew louder as it approached, breaking the brief silence.
It turned out that the backer Overstan mentioned had sent three planes, attempting to attack the cruise ship where Liu Feng and his group were parked, trying to cut off their retreat route.
However, Liu Feng possessed a powerful divine sense, which was like an invisible net, enveloping everything around him. He sensed the danger even before the plane arrived.
He swiftly formed hand seals, and a gleaming flying sword shot from his sleeve, instantly transforming into a streak of light at a speed almost imperceptible to the naked eye. The sword spun rapidly through the air, like an unstoppable blade, hurtling straight towards the three aircraft.
In the blink of an eye, the flying sword pierced through three airplanes. The planes exploded violently in mid-air, flames shooting into the sky with deafening roars. Debris fell into the sea, creating huge splashes. The deafening explosions shook the hearts of everyone present.
This scene was clearly witnessed by the crew of the two warships following behind, who were terrified and their faces turned ashen. They had thought victory was assured, but now their hearts were filled with fear and unease.
After carefully landing on the island, they met up with Ofstan's men and then moved towards Liu Feng's location.
