Du Wu’s face changed drastically.
With Zheng Xiaoyang’s fierce attack from behind and Li Feng’s blade blocking his retreat, even someone as arrogant as him didn’t dare to be careless.
In a rush, he could only hastily swing a palm at Zheng Xiaoyang.
Boom!
Another earth-shaking explosion rang out.
This time, it was Du Wu who was sent flying, his face pale, blood spewing from his mouth. He stared at Li Feng and Zheng Xiaoyang in disbelief, his heart filled with shock and horror.
He never imagined he’d be so battered facing their combined attack. Zheng Xiaoyang was weaker than him, and Li Feng was insignificant in his eyes. He thought he could handle them together, but reality slapped him hard. Though Li Feng wasn’t strong, his attacks were sharp and unpredictable. Combined with Zheng Xiaoyang’s relentless pressure, Du Wu was caught off guard and heavily injured.
“Hahaha, Third Master Zheng, you finally made your move!” Li Feng breathed a sigh of relief. Even after fighting Du Wu for so long and sustaining injuries, Du Wu was beyond his ability to handle alone. If Zheng Xiaoyang hadn’t acted, Li Feng would have had to flee. Fortunately, Zheng Xiaoyang stepped in at the critical moment.
Li Feng knew he’d bet correctly. He chose to target Du Wu because he believed Zheng Xiaoyang would intervene.
“After we kill Du Wu, I’ll kill you,” Zheng Xiaoyang said coldly, glancing at Li Feng.
“Up to you,” Li Feng replied with a cold smile. After killing Du Wu, who would kill whom was uncertain. Without some tricks and trump cards, how would he dare to take such a risk? He had plenty of ways to deal with Zheng Xiaoyang, unlike Du Wu.
“Zheng Xiaoyang, how about we kill Li Feng first, then have a final showdown?” Du Wu took a deep breath, gripping his blade and looking at Zheng Xiaoyang.
“Hmph, Du Wu, I’ll kill you first, then Li Feng,” Zheng Xiaoyang sneered. Did Du Wu take him for a fool? A showdown with Du Wu was a death sentence. Though confident, Zheng Xiaoyang knew he was no match for Du Wu.
“You…” Du Wu’s proposal stemmed from experiencing the power of Li Feng and Zheng Xiaoyang’s combined attack. He admitted he couldn’t beat them together and didn’t want to die, so his only option was to break their alliance.
But he didn’t expect Zheng Xiaoyang to reject him outright. He understood why, but he was unwilling to die here.
“Old man, talking is useless now. Better think about how to save your own life. But tonight, you’re doomed,” Li Feng said with a cold laugh.
“Li Feng, think carefully. Teaming up with Zheng Xiaoyang is like working with a tiger. Even if you kill me, do you think he’ll spare you? Join me to kill Zheng Xiaoyang, and I’ll let you live,” Du Wu said with a cold snort.
Zheng Xiaoyang’s expression shifted. If Li Feng allied with Du Wu, he’d be doomed, and he grew nervous.
“Hahaha…” Li Feng laughed loudly, looking at Du Wu coldly. “Do you think I’d trust you? Decades ago, you tried to kill your own brother without hesitation. What credibility does someone like you have? I’d rather team up with Zheng Xiaoyang than you.”
Li Feng didn’t want a three-way standoff. Teaming with Zheng Xiaoyang to kill Du Wu was his best option. Even if Du Wu and Zheng Xiaoyang were close in strength, he’d rather face Zheng Xiaoyang than Du Wu.
Du Wu’s face darkened, and he roared, “Li Feng, you’ll regret this. Even if you and Zheng Xiaoyang kill me, he’ll kill you too.”
“No need for your concern, Du Wu. I promised Senior Du Wen I’d kill you,” Li Feng said with a cold smile.
“Hmph, if you want to kill me, you’ll pay a price,” Du Wu roared in fury, a terrifying aura erupting from him.
Burning his true qi?
Du Wu was going all out. The power of a peak Acquired Realm martial artist burning true qi was unimaginable.
“Getting desperate?” Li Feng sneered, gathering all his true qi and slashing with his blade.
Zheng Xiaoyang didn’t dare hold back either. At this critical moment, if he reserved his strength and Du Wu killed Li Feng, he’d be next. His only choice was to join Li Feng to kill Du Wu.
“Du Wu, today is your end,” Zheng Xiaoyang declared, throwing a punch with overwhelming force at Du Wu.
Boom!
His iron fists seemed to shatter space itself as they struck toward Du Wu.
Du Wu, furious and cornered, knew retreat wasn’t an option. He had to fight desperately for a chance to survive.
“Die!” Du Wu roared.
As his words fell, he appeared before Li Feng, his terrifying force slashing down with his blade.
Boom!
A massive explosion rang out, as if the sky itself were splitting.
Li Feng grunted, his blade snapping as he was sent flying, spitting blood in midair and crashing heavily to the ground.
Bang!
Li Feng felt his bones nearly shatter, his body wracked with pain. Looking at Du Wu, his eyes filled with shock.
Strong. Too strong.
At that moment, Li Feng truly felt the gap between himself and Du Wu, not just in realm but in raw power.
If his body hadn’t been tempered to the tenth level, that strike might have killed him.
After repelling Li Feng, Du Wu didn’t pursue but turned and slashed at Zheng Xiaoyang.
Boom!
Another explosion as Zheng Xiaoyang’s fist collided with Du Wu’s blade. Blade marks tore into Zheng Xiaoyang, leaving him bloodied, but he didn’t retreat.
“Seeking death!” Du Wu shouted, gripping his blade tighter and slashing with greater force.
Boom!
The blade’s light shattered Zheng Xiaoyang’s fist shadow, then his arm, inflicting unprecedented damage and sending him flying.
“Pfft!”
Du Wu wasn’t unscathed, spitting blood, his face ashen.
“Hahaha, none of you can kill me!” Du Wu laughed wildly, gripping his blade.
“Is that so?” A chilling voice sounded behind him, and Du Wu’s face changed.
Pfft!
A sword pierced through his back, its sharp tip emerging from his chest.
“You…” Du Wu turned, staring in disbelief at Li Feng behind him.
“Du Wu, I said I’d kill you,” Li Feng said coldly. Though Du Wu’s strike was powerful, it hadn’t incapacitated him. His tempered body was beyond ordinary imagination. Seeing Du Wu defeat Zheng Xiaoyang, Li Feng seized the moment, flashing behind him and piercing him with Zheng Haoyuan’s sword.
“Damn you!” Du Wu roared, swinging a palm at Li Feng.
Hmph.
Li Feng sneered, using his Phantom Nine Steps to narrowly dodge.
“Du Wu, die. This strike is for Senior Du Wen,” Li Feng said, picking up Du Wu’s blade and slashing.
Wounded and frantic, Du Wu could only meet the attack with a palm.
But such a palm was no match for Li Feng.
“Ah!” A scream rang out as Du Wu was sent flying.
“Du Wu, this time next year will be your memorial day,” Li Feng sneered, unleashing his Cloud-Dispersing Palm, its layered shadows overwhelming Du Wu with terrifying force.
“Ah…” Du Wu roared, struggling in vain. Severely injured, with the backlash of burning true qi setting in and a sword in his body, he was at his end.
Pfft!
Finally, Li Feng’s blade cleaved Du Wu in two, blood raining from the sky.
“Du Wu is finally dead,” Li Feng sighed in relief, exhausted from the ordeal.
“Is this killing or gaming? It even drops loot?” Li Feng froze, staring in disbelief at the pile of items beside Du Wu’s body, momentarily thinking he was in a game.
“Wait…” He recalled what the Ge siblings told him: when someone dies, their space bag loses its master, and its contents spill out.
“Could Du Wu have had a space bag?” Li Feng’s eyes lit up. Though he already had one, more space bags were always better.
Struggling toward Du Wu’s body, his eyes gleamed with excitement. If Du Wu had a space bag, it likely held his most valuable treasures.
The ground was littered with items—herbs, jade, weapons, and ancient books. Li Feng didn’t bother inspecting them, shoving everything into his own space bag. He had no time to check now.
He hadn’t expected Du Wu to carry so much outside his secret chamber. His only regret was the blood staining the items.
“Du Wu, Du Wu, you left me so much even in death. I should’ve left you a whole corpse,” Li Feng muttered with a smile, bending to pick up the space bag from Du Wu’s waist.
“So many treasures. This trip to Kunyang Town was worth it,” Li Feng said, standing slowly with the space bag secured.
“Yes, but you might not live to enjoy them,” a chilling voice sounded behind him.
