BOOM!
The duel between the two resumed. But this time, Fengg Wuxie refrained from provoking Fu Shan with words, because he knew that for the current Fu Shan, nothing he said could enrage him further.
SNAP!
RUMBLE!
The two battled from east to west, then from west to north. Wherever they passed, mountains crumbled and the earth caved in, as if the end of the world had arrived.
Dong Zhengyang remarked, "Fu Shan’s battle strength is fully unleashed. He’s quite strong."
Qin Feiyang nodded. Although Fu Shan hadn’t died at Fengg Wuxie’s hands earlier, his injuries were severe, and he had lost an arm. Despite having taken Healing Pills and Rebirth Pills, he still needed time to recover. In other words, Fu Shan was fighting Fengg Wuxie while heavily injured. And he was fighting one-handed.
Even so, he showed no signs of being defeated, locked in a fierce and inseparable battle with Fengg Wuxie. It would be impossible for Fengg Wuxie to defeat him quickly. If Fu Shan hadn’t lost his mind earlier, the outcome would have been truly unpredictable.
BOOM!
Suddenly, Fu Shan’s aura erupted completely. A magnificent golden light surged from behind him, rushing into the sky! Within the golden light was an axe, about the size of a palm, seemingly cast from gold and emitting a blinding radiance!
This was his Battle Soul!
Witnessing this, everyone couldn’t help but hold their breath. The activation of a Battle Soul meant Fu Shan was finally getting serious. Who would be the ultimate victor?
"Kill!" Fu Shan waved his hand. The palm-sized axe sliced through the air, cleaving towards Fengg Wuxie, its sharp edge tearing the earth apart!
Fengg Wuxie looked at the axe, a slight smirk playing on his lips.
CHIRP!
The next instant, accompanied by a loud, piercing cry, a wave of fire erupted from Fengg Wuxie’s back!
"What?"
"Is this his Battle Soul?"
Am I seeing things?
Dong Zhengyang was dumbfounded.
The people from You State were also visibly shocked! Even Qin Feiyang and the red-haired young man felt their pupils contract in surprise.
Fengg Wuxie’s Battle Soul was a ferocious bird, dozens of feet in size, wreathed in raging flames! It flapped its fiery wings and soared into the high sky. For a moment, fierce winds howled, whipping up sand and stones. The area instantly became oppressively hot, and everyone started sweating profusely!
SHRIEK!
After ascending, the fierce bird wheeled in the air and dived down like a hunting falcon, its sharp talons aiming for the axe.
"No matter how big it is, it’s still just a chicken," Fu Shan scoffed, a hint of disdain in his eyes.
"Grow!" Following Fu Shan’s low command, the palm-sized axe instantly swelled when it met the wind. In the blink of an eye, a giant axe materialized in the air, larger than the fierce bird, its edge even more terrifying than before!
"Chicken?"
However, upon hearing Fu Shan’s words, Fengg Wuxie’s expression changed. His usual wicked demeanor vanished, replaced by a sinister glint in his eyes! He stared fixedly at Fu Shan and said coldly, "Say it’s a chicken again, if you dare."
"Isn’t it?" Fu Shan sneered.
"You’re courting death!" Fengg Wuxie’s eyes blazed with murderous intent. "Innate Divine Ability: Eye of Fire Phoenix—Destroy!"
At that moment, the diving fierce bird blinked. Two fiery beams, like pillars of fire, shot from its eyes toward the massive golden axe.
"Do you think only your Battle Soul has an Innate Divine Ability?" Fu Shan’s gaze was like a torch. "Innate Divine Ability: Furious Heaven Split!" As his words fell, the massive golden axe slashed through the air, and a golden blade of light shot forth.
BOOM!
Instantly, the blade of light and the fiery beams collided, like two meteorites crashing, unleashing a destructive aura that swept out in all directions. Everything within a radius of several miles was instantly leveled!
At the same time, the blade of light and the fiery beams locked in a stalemate mid-air, neither giving way.
No wonder they’re the Kings of their respective states; both their Battle Souls possess an Innate Divine Ability,
Qin Feiyang murmured to himself. Battle Souls had different ranks; not every Battle Soul possessed an Innate Divine Ability. In other words, a Battle Soul with an Innate Divine Ability was definitely a high-ranking one.
Dong Zhengyang sent a voice transmission: "Who will win?"
"Fengg Wuxie, without a doubt!" Qin Feiyang replied firmly. Fengg Wuxie’s Battle Soul was truly astonishing. In all his years of wandering, across countless lands, only the Wolf King’s Battle Soul and Fengg Wuxie’s had ever truly unnerved him.
And just as he expected!
Gradually, the golden blade of light faltered against the fiery beams, forced back under the pressure until it finally shattered with a SNAP!
SPURT!
Fu Shan’s body trembled, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood.
"Trash!" Fengg Wuxie glanced at Fu Shan, spitting out the word contemptuously. At the same time, the fiery beams, now unified, thundered towards the massive axe again.
CLANG!
With a deafening crash, the massive axe shattered.
This was like rubbing salt in Fu Shan’s wounds. His body trembled violently, and blood gushed from his mouth! Disbelief filled his eyes.
How could I be defeated?
Their cultivation was both at the one-star War Ancestor realm, and both their Battle Souls had Innate Divine Abilities. Why was the gap between him and Fengg Wuxie so vast? He couldn’t accept this reality.
BOOM!
While Fu Shan was dazed, the fiery beam tore through the sky, radiating an aura of death as it charged straight for his head.
The red-haired young man raised an eyebrow and shouted a warning, "Fu Shan!" His voice, like a great bell, jolted Fu Shan back to his senses.
But the beam was now only five or six meters away, closing in, in the blink of an eye! This time, evasion was impossible!
Gritting his teeth, Fu Shan raised his arm again, Battle Intent surging, and punched out barehanded at the beam. His arm, previously crushed by the castle, had since healed. Even so, attacking the beam barehanded was tantamount to suicide!
BOOM!
In a flash, his fist and the beam collided.
"ARGH..." Fu Shan let out a horrific scream. His body was sent flying, his arm crushed once more, and his body was covered in gruesome, splitting wounds! Blood sprayed like a fountain!
He can even shatter an Innate Divine Ability with brute force. I have to admit, he’s incredibly strong,
Dong Zhengyang’s pupils contracted intensely.
The people from Yun State, Void State, and You State are all this powerful? Are the experts from the other major states just as strong, or perhaps even stronger?
He had always been confident in the overall strength of Spirit State. But now, a sense of dread crept into his heart. The immense pressure weighed on him like a giant stone, heavy and suffocating.
However, at this moment, Qin Feiyang said, "Actually, it’s not that surprising. If it were you, you could do it too."
"Are you mocking me?" Dong Zhengyang frowned.
Qin Feiyang’s face twitched. When did Dong Zhengyang’s imagination get so wild?
Fengg Wuxie’s Battle Soul and its Innate Divine Ability were indeed formidable. Without any prior obstruction, it would have certainly killed Fu Shan. But it had first clashed with Fu Shan’s Battle Soul’s Innate Divine Ability, then with the Battle Soul itself, significantly weakening its power. That’s why Fu Shan was able to shatter the weakened beam with a punch.
It all happened in an instant! Just as Fu Shan shattered the beam, the murderous intent in Fengg Wuxie’s eyes intensified.
SHRIEK!
With a piercing cry, the fierce bird circling above Fengg Wuxie spread its massive wings. Gale-force winds erupted, and fiery waves blotted out the sky as it dove towards Fu Shan. It moved with incredible speed, appearing above Fu Shan’s head in an instant. Its terrifying might sent a chill down Fu Shan’s spine.
"I surrender!" he conceded without hesitation.
Immediately, the people from Void State beamed with joy. The people from You State, however, lowered their heads, feeling humiliated by Fu Shan’s surrender.
"You shouldn’t have left the mark for Dongfang Wuheng to find us," Dong Zhengyang said, looking reproachfully at Qin Feiyang. If everything had gone according to their plan, it would have been a perfect ’kill two birds with one stone’ scenario. But now, the two states hadn’t engaged in a bloody battle. Instead, they decided the outcome with a single fight, putting Qin Feiyang and Dong Zhengyang in an awkward position. If they jumped out to rescue them now, they would surely face a combined attack from both states.
However, Qin Feiyang paid no heed to Dong Zhengyang’s reproach, his gaze flickering indecisively.
Seeing this, Dong Zhengyang couldn’t help but feel annoyed and snapped, "If you won’t save them, I will!" With Fu Shan’s surrender, both sides had lowered their guard somewhat. This was the best chance to rescue them.
"Don’t go," Qin Feiyang stopped him, his voice low. "Fu Shan’s death is already sealed. The enraged Fengg Wuxie won’t give him any chance to survive."
"Hm?" Dong Zhengyang looked towards Fengg Wuxie in surprise. Realization dawned, and his eyes gleamed with understanding.
At the same time, the expressions of the people from both Void State and You State changed drastically. They, like Dong Zhengyang, had assumed that Fu Shan’s surrender would mark the end of the battle. But now, Fengg Wuxie showed no intention of stopping his attack at all! The fierce bird was still charging towards Fu Shan, its aura menacing and relentless!
Fenghuo, trembling, urgently shouted, "Fengg Wuxie, stop!" If Fengg Wuxie really killed Fu Shan, the conflict between their two states would completely escalate, benefiting no one.
But Fengg Wuxie seemed not to hear, the murderous intent in his eyes even stronger than before!
Fu Shan also clearly hadn’t expected this and was utterly unprepared. And the people from You State were too late to rescue him.
"ARGH..."
With no chance of escape, Fu Shan let out a final, agonizing scream as he was killed by the fierce bird’s claws! His body was torn limb from limb, a gruesome sight!
Dead?
Fenghuo looked on, stunned.
The others were equally dumbfounded. The area fell into a deathly silence.
Only Dong Zhengyang appeared visibly excited!
With Fu Shan dead, a bloody battle between the two groups is inevitable!
At the same time, he was also puzzled. He transmitted his voice to Qin Feiyang, "Why was Fengg Wuxie so enraged that he’d ignore the bigger picture and insist on killing Fu Shan? Doesn’t he know this will cause huge trouble?"
Qin Feiyang smiled. "Of course, he knows all that. But who told Fu Shan to insult his Battle Soul? To call a majestic Fire Phoenix a chicken... Fu Shan really had a death wish."
Dong Zhengyang was suddenly enlightened. Looking at the Battle Soul hovering above Fengg Wuxie, he thought,
This is a classic case of foot-in-mouth.
