Fengqi saw the two attack again and sneered.
"Miss Honghong, are you in such a hurry to die?"
"Wangyue Palm!"
Fengqi struck out with both palms, and two purplish-black palms flew towards the two.
"Don't underestimate us!"
Tushan Honghong threw a punch, and a pure strength punch shattered the Wangyue Palm.
Ling Feng stretched his waist like a full moon, and the God of War's Blade chopped down vertically, splitting the Wangyue Palm in two.
The two charged forward without losing momentum.
"I almost forgot you are both Demon Emperors, but that's all."
Fengqi's figure flashed and disappeared. Ling Feng and Tushan Honghong missed their target.
Looking around, Fengqi had multiplied into eight, each with about 20% less demonic power than the original.
Fortunately, Fengqi was still unfamiliar with the power of a Great Demon Emperor, so her combat strength was only at the Demon Emperor level.
Ling Feng and Tushan Honghong stood back-to-back, ready for any surprise attacks from Fengqi.
"Human formation! Rise!"
As the formation lit up, Ling Feng and Tushan Honghong were augmented by the formation.
Buffing up before a fight was common sense.
However, the Heaven, Earth, and Man Three Talents Formation consumed a lot of energy, and activating both the Earth and Man formations simultaneously consumed even more.
Ling Feng admitted that he had underestimated the cunning old fox, Fengqi.
He had considered attacking from outside the formation with ranged attacks.
But Fengqi was exceptionally skilled at escaping. Although he could cover the area within the formation with firepower, his true qi wouldn't last that long.
Who knew if Fengqi had any backup plans?
In terms of raw combat power, he wasn't afraid of Fengqi. Even a Nascent Soul cultivator wouldn't be an easy opponent for him.
But Fengqi's moves were too numerous and bizarre, and her vast experience from her long life made her incredibly difficult to deal with.
Ling Feng's weapon changed from the God of War's Blade to the Ridge of the Sky, which he had obtained from a previous lucky draw.
He usually used twin swords and a broadsword because he lacked a suitable five-star spear.
Compared to the Ridge of the Sky, Ling Feng preferred the Disaster Calmer and the Rainbow Piercer.
Fengqi seemed to realize that with pure brute force, she couldn't defeat either Ling Feng or Tushan Honghong.
"Little Brother Ling, my figure is surely better than Tushan Honghong's, isn't it? Why don't you join me? I promise you'll have a great time."
Without a word, Fengqi began her seduction technique, displaying her figure enticingly to Ling Feng.
"Fengqi, have you no shame?!"
Tushan Honghong was shocked by Fengqi's tactic and shouted, blushing.
"Enough nonsense. You want to sway my heart and then invade my mind and confuse me? I've seen through your tricks."
Ling Feng launched the first attack, swinging his spear. A fire dragon soared into the sky and attacked Fengqi.
"Oh dear, little brother, don't be so hot-tempered."
Fengqi easily dodged Ling Feng's attack, and then four clones attacked Ling Feng simultaneously from four directions.
"Come on!"
Ling Feng swung the Ridge of the Sky, a fire dragon coiling around the spear. He then swept it out, incinerating the rain of Wangyue Palms.
Ling Feng's spear moved continuously, whistling through the air as he fought the four Fengqis.
Meanwhile, Tushan Honghong had also engaged with the Fengqis.
After some time, Ling Feng and Tushan Honghong found themselves back-to-back again.
And there were still six Fengqis surrounding them.
Tushan Honghong said gravely.
"Damn it, Fengqi's black fox ability is too disgusting. Unless she is beaten to death, any lost limbs can be regenerated in a short time."
Ling Feng nodded in agreement, Fengqi's combat power was weak, but her survival skills were superb, making her incredibly annoying.
The Heaven, Earth, and Man Three Talents Formation could trap Fengqi, but it continuously consumed energy, and their battles occasionally damaged the formation.
The Earth formation could last for at most half an hour. By then, if Fengqi wanted to escape, they wouldn't be able to stop her.
Fengqi also had a special black fox ability: she could transfer her main body to any of her clones, regardless of the distance between them (except across worlds).
If Fengqi managed to escape, their chances of eliminating her would become very, very small.
"We must eliminate her here and not let her go out and harm the world."
"But how?"
Tushan Honghong's question troubled Ling Feng, as he had no specific countermeasure.
Suddenly, a familiar voice echoed in Ling Feng's mind.
"Ling Feng, don't forget Wufeng's ability, and Wufeng's innate divine ability. They should be able to help you."
"Sha Wu! You're awake!"
Ling Feng exclaimed in surprise.
Sha Wu had fallen into a deep sleep after using a bit of Soul Nourishing Divine Grass for her earthly soul.
"Ah~ I must have slept for a long time. I didn't expect to wake up and see you in trouble."
"Also, who is that fox-eared girl! How many beautiful women have you secretly met while I was asleep!"
Ling Feng ignored Sha Wu's later words and checked Wufeng's information panel.
[Item]: Wufeng
[Type]: High-grade Spirit Treasure (Growable)
[Quality]: Five Stars
[Abilities]: Ability One - Wind Mist: Can emit wind blades, greatly amplifying wind-attribute attacks.
Innate Skill: Misty Shadow Wind Kill
Ability Two - Innate Divine Ability "Unseen and Unheard": Hide within heaven and earth, unseen, unheard, and shapeless. Come and go like the wind, strike with ten thousand winds flowing, disappear silently, leaving no trace.
(Except for special cultivation methods or divine abilities, even a swordsman of a higher realm cannot detect its existence.)
Holy crap!
This innate divine ability is quite powerful.
This ability allows for silent assassinations, striking with the speed of thunder for a single fatal blow. Ling Feng looked at Fengqi, and a plan began to form in his mind.
"Sha Wu, next, please do this..."
After hearing Ling Feng's plan, Sha Wu replied.
"I understand."
Then Ling Feng secretly summoned Wufeng, which instantly vanished, unseen and unheard.
"Honghong, I have a way."
"What way?"
"First, find Fengqi's current main body location."
"Okay."
Fengqi's main body was easy to find; whoever spoke was the main body.
"Fengqi, what are you hiding for? Fight me one-on-one if you dare!"
Tushan Honghong roared at the various Fengqis, her expression conveying anger, seemingly like a futile outburst.
Seeing how good Tushan Honghong's acting was, Ling Feng couldn't help but give her a thumbs up.
Tushan Honghong's "futile roar" indeed tricked Fengqi into speaking, just as planned.
A Fengqi at the back of the group grinned sinisterly and said.
"What's wrong, Miss Honghong, can't take it anymore? As the leader of Tushan, is this all the patience you have..."
Before Fengqi could finish speaking, a sword light flashed and disappeared.
Fengqi's head was pierced, mangled, and exploded into black mist by Wufeng, leaving only a lifeless body to fall from the sky.
A single blow, fatal.
The other Fengqis also plummeted to the ground like dumplings.
"It's over?"
Tushan Honghong asked joyfully.
But things rarely ended so easily.
Three seconds later, Ling Feng still hadn't heard the system's kill notification, indicating Fengqi wasn't dead, and his expression immediately changed.
Just then, Ling Feng saw a figure silently appear behind Tushan Honghong, his pupils constricting.
"Be careful behind you!"
"Miss Honghong, losing focus during a fight is a big mistake."
Fengqi's eight black tails, like sharp blades, shot towards Tushan Honghong.
The attack was decisive and extremely swift.
Tushan Honghong only then realized that Fengqi, using some unknown technique, had stealthily appeared behind her. It was too late to turn and counterattack.
Clang!
"What!"
Fengqi was shocked to see Ling Feng appear out of nowhere and shield Tushan Honghong.
In an instant, that ghostly sword light reappeared, then disappeared again.
"Damn it, this human boy's magic treasures are so strange and troublesome."
Fengqi's main body appeared on another clone, saying with lingering fear.
Twice, she had almost been killed by that sword that came and went without a trace.
If not for the clones, allowing her to switch her main body at any time, she would have died from the first sword strike.
Fengqi immediately decided to abandon attacking Ling Feng and Tushan Honghong and focus on breaking the formation. Otherwise, she would truly die here today.
Tushan Honghong caught Ling Feng, who had shielded her from the killing blow, and asked softly with concern.
"Ling Feng, are you alright?"
"I'm fine. That attack just now, Fengqi used the power of this world. Fortunately, it blocked most of the damage.
Plus, my physique is now stronger than a Demon Emperor's. Fengqi's attack only pushed me back."
Ling Feng grinned, patting his Star-Patterned Armor, which let out a metallic clang.
"Fengqi's survival ability is too strong."
Tushan Honghong looked warily at the four Fengqis on the sky screen who were focusing their attacks on the trapping formation.
As time passed, the formation consumed immense energy.
A temporary formation, with both formations activated, plus Fengqi's concentrated attacks.
The Heaven, Earth, and Man Three Talents Formation had very little time left.
Tushan Honghong sighed.
"It seems we can't stop her today."
"That's not certain. Her clones have finally converged. Sha Wu!"
As Ling Feng's voice fell, a thick mist rose around the four Fengqis. Fengqi felt a sense of dread and couldn't escape in time.
The mist perfectly trapped the four Fengqis within Wufeng's small domain.
Simultaneously, thousands of wind blades slashed towards Fengqi from all directions.
"What the hell is this!"
Fengqi cried out in terror.
She discovered that besides her clones, any spiritual sense she cast out into her surroundings vanished like mud into the sea, with no reaction.
Even the power of this world, she couldn't utilize.
The rain of wind blades made Fengqi suffer a severe setback.
Three of the four Fengqis, along with three clones, were annihilated, leaving only the main body struggling to survive.
"Damn it."
Fengqi quickly transformed into a black fox energy being, and only then was she safe.
"It's time to end this."
Ling Feng summoned his flying sword, Proud Snow, which turned into a cold glint and darted into Wufeng's small domain.
"Innate Divine Ability: Ice Seal Ten Thousand Miles!"
Instantly, an extreme cold spread from the Proud Snow Sword, freezing everything in its path!
Fengqi's face turned ashen with panic. She tried to escape but could go nowhere.
Within Wufeng's small domain, it was like a crystal ice kingdom, with a biting wind and deathly silence.
Outside, Ling Feng's nerves were taut.
In his sight, Fengqi was encased in extreme cold, her life force rapidly weakening.
As time ticked by, half an hour later.
[Ding! Killed Fengqi, rewarded 5000 Wish Power, one Great Demon Emperor inner core.]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the companion quest "Tribulation," all rewards have been distributed.]
"Hoo... finally it's over."
Hearing the system notification, Ling Feng felt completely relieved and let out a long sigh.
"Fengqi... is dead?"
Tushan Honghong, upon hearing this, sounded a little dejected and asked, as if confirming.
"Mm."
Ling Feng knew the relationship between Fengqi and Tushan Honghong and understood her emotional shift. He nodded slightly and said calmly.
Then, with a thought, two sword lights shot out from the dense fog.
Proud Snow flew back into the Sword Nurturing Gourd for nurturing, while Wufeng was inserted into Ling Feng's scabbard.
The Heaven, Earth, and Man Three Talents Formation also slowly dissipated.
Tushan Honghong looked at the piece of ice that had fallen to the ground and shattered, her eyes complex.
There was joy, and also sorrow.
Although Fengqi had become her enemy in the end, her original intention was not malicious, only their different thoughts and stances.
To her, Fengqi was both a teacher and a mother.
Tushan Honghong couldn't help but recall her childhood when Fengqi had meticulously cared for her and her two sisters.
Alas, all of this would only be a memory of the past.
Meanwhile, Ling Feng knew that Tushan Honghong needed some time to accept this and flew to the side to wait.
Sha Wu suddenly appeared beside Ling Feng, looking at Tushan Honghong with a hint of sympathy in her eyes.
As a sword spirit, she could clearly sense the emotions emanating from Tushan Honghong.
"That black fox was very important to her, wasn't she?"
Ling Feng nodded and said softly.
"Yes, very important. To her, it was no less than the death of her own mother."
"Alright, hurry up and tell me! Who is this fox-eared girl! How many girls did you trick while I was asleep?!"
Sha Wu pouted, arms crossed, and asked.
"Uh, how can you call it tricking? It makes me sound like a scumbag."
Future: There should be one, two, three...
"Future!"
Future's sudden self-detonation attack startled Ling Feng.
Future: I'm very sorry, Sister Sha Wu, Master forbids me from saying.
"Good, more than three, pervert Ling Feng, you..."
Sha Wu lowered her head, black energy seeping from her body, looking like she was about to blacken.
Suddenly, Ling Feng stepped forward and hugged Sha Wu, whispering.
"Welcome back."
The black energy emanating from Sha Wu vanished instantly, her face flushing crimson with shyness, as if it could drip water.
Sha Wu raised her hand, intending to push Ling Feng away, but she couldn't bear to let go of his embrace.
"This time... I'll let you off."
Sha Wu buried her head in Ling Feng's chest and said softly.
Ling Feng: Hoo... thankfully I reacted quickly.
"Ling Feng, who is she?"
Hearing Tushan Honghong's voice from behind, Ling Feng shivered.
It's over!
He'd forgotten about her!
Ling Feng stiffly turned around, looking at Tushan Honghong's kind smile, gesturing wildly, wanting to explain but not knowing where to start.
He had no experience dealing with this!
Ling Feng: How can I survive this situation without dying, help! Online and waiting! wap.kanshuwu.net
Sha Wu suddenly broke free from Ling Feng's embrace.
"Hello, I am Ling Feng's companion. Like you, please take care of me in the future."
"Mm."
Tushan Honghong nodded calmly.
Ling Feng: ???
Watching the two fly towards Tushan while introducing themselves, Ling Feng's head was filled with question marks.
Wait, isn't this development a bit off?
"Hey, you two, wait for me!"
Seeing the two flying further and further away, Ling Feng quickly chased after them.
