In the End, It Was Still Him Who Held On to the Last

Chen Feng looked at Su Yuanshan before him.

The blood and qi throughout his body began to boil.

One martial arts phantom after another slowly took shape around him.

In the end, there were eleven martial arts phantoms in all.

Each phantom was circulating one of Chen Feng’s cultivation techniques.

The eleven martial arts phantoms, each a thousand meters tall, left even Su Yuanshan stunned.

Only one thought remained in his mind.

How much blood and qi would it take—

to sustain so many enormous martial arts phantoms at once?

In the mountain ranges surrounding the Four Symbols Heavenly Chasm—

Yin Hu, who was searching for the forbidden zone, could not help looking in Chen Feng’s direction.

“Isn’t that aura from Chen Feng, that bastard?”

“How can his blood and qi be this overwhelming?”

Within Black Tortoise Mountain, Tengshe also turned toward the direction where Chen Feng was.

“Did Yin Hu release some great demon again?”

“But what kind of great demon could possess such powerful blood and qi?”

Even Pixiu, who had been asleep, was awakened by Chen Feng’s formidable blood and qi.

It pondered for a long while, yet still could not figure out which great demon could possess such terrifying vitality.

Even a half-demon with multiple bloodlines mixed together—

would not have blood and qi this exaggerated.

Once a demonic beast’s blood and qi reached its peak, it would inevitably draw a heavenly tribulation.

Yet the powerful blood and qi that had suddenly appeared before them had clearly surpassed the limits of a half-demon’s vitality.

And still, there was no sign of a tribulation.

It was truly incomprehensible.

Curious, Pixiu took to the skies and flew toward Chen Feng.

A trail of misty clouds lingered in its wake.

At a certain cliff face in the Kunlun Mountains—

Grandpa Jin had been nailed to the mountainside by a spear.

His limbs were already gone.

His dantian had been destroyed as well.

His life was in its final countdown.

As he lay there, barely clinging to life, he saw the eleven towering martial arts phantoms in the distance.

A bitter smile appeared on his face.

“That has to be Chen Feng’s martial arts phantoms!”

“They really are becoming more and more outrageous!”

“You Xi has found herself an incredible master!”

“With him protecting You Xi, this old man can die without regrets.”

“I have no regrets in having entered Great Xia in this life... Heh heh...”

In Grandpa Jin’s eyes, the golden martial arts phantoms still shimmered one after another.

But gradually, the light in his gaze faded away.

Not far from Chen Feng—

Wei Guangming was currently fighting alongside Feng Tengyun.

Not only could they sense the terrifying pressure of Chen Feng’s blood and qi—

they could also feel an endless sorrow.

“It seems something else has happened to the Great Xia hero—something beyond anything we can imagine.”

“He truly is a man filled with miracles.”

Feng Tengyun was covered in wounds as well.

After meeting Wei Guangming, the two had joined forces and fought their way to a Ghost Tomb Stone Coffin.

By now, Wei Guangming was panting heavily from exhaustion.

He looked toward Chen Feng, who stood in the sky confronting Su Yuanshan.

From the bottom of his heart, he sighed in admiration.

“When I lost to him back then, I really had nothing to complain about!”

“That guy is so strong, he barely seems human.”

“Back when I fought him, he somehow got massively stronger in the middle of the battle.”

Feng Tengyun, however, gave him a cold reminder.

“Now isn’t the time to focus on him!”

“Hurry up and open the Ghost Tomb Stone Coffin!”

Wei Guangming frowned deeply.

He looked at Feng Tengyun and asked with an unfriendly expression,

“Why should I be the one to open the Ghost Tomb Stone Coffin?”

“Why don’t you do it?”

Feng Tengyun remained calm as he replied:

“Because if I survive, I’ll be of greater use than you.”

“Whether in martial strength or strategic intelligence, I surpass you.”

“You should know perfectly well whose survival would be better for the situation going forward.”

“Of course, if you insist on not opening the stone coffin, then I’ll have to do it myself.”

After saying this, Feng Tengyun stared straight at Wei Guangming, waiting for his answer.

Wei Guangming was left speechless by Feng Tengyun’s words.

Still, he could not resist retorting,

“When you’re asking someone else to die, you even have to belittle them by saying they’re weaker than you.”

“Is that how you won over all those subordinates of yours?”

Feng Tengyun reminded him once more.

“The Ghost Mound Stone Coffin could disappear at any moment!”

“Are you opening it or not?”

Wei Guangming snorted coldly.

With one palm strike, he blasted open the lid of the Ghost Mound Stone Coffin.

Then he continued,

“I just want to know how someone with your personality managed to win over so many followers.”

“I don’t think you have anything close to Chen Feng’s personal charisma.”

Feng Tengyun merely replied calmly,

“After serving under me and following my commands often enough,”

“I’ll teach them to identify the heart of any problem and make their way of doing things more like mine.”

“Over time, they’ll begin to despise stupidity.”

“From then on, they’ll only be willing to follow a commander who can think calmly.”

“And they’ll come to rely on a wise leader. It’s a long process of conditioning.”

Wei Guangming shook his head and laughed bitterly.

He knew that he and Feng Tengyun were completely different kinds of people.

Even talking to each other felt exhausting.

Still, he could not help but sigh.

Ancestor Wei Tianjun had ultimately failed to defeat Su Yuanshan.

But it had not been entirely without effect.

At the very least, he had seriously injured Su Yuanshan.

That gave Wang Zun and Chen Feng, who came afterward, a chance to hold Su Yuanshan back.

Only then had they gained the opportunity to open the Ghost Mound Stone Coffin as well.

As Wei Guangming’s soul gradually dissipated,

the Ghost Mound Stone Coffin automatically sank into the ground, raising a small burial mound over itself.

Feng Tengyun began searching for the next Ghost Mound Stone Coffin.

At that very moment, the battle in the sky erupted.

For a time, zither music rang out everywhere.

Sword qi crisscrossed the air, dragon roars echoed without end,

and palm shadows and kicking afterimages filled the heavens.

Su Yuanshan continuously used the Star-Absorbing Art to redirect incoming attacks, or met them head-on with his Icy Palm.

What he found most difficult to understand was that he could not absorb even a trace of Chen Feng’s qi and blood.

Not a single drop.

Meanwhile, Chen Feng’s Beiming Divine Art was constantly pressuring him.

Su Yuanshan had to admit that if they were both at the Martial Saint level, he would absolutely be no match for Chen Feng.

This boy’s qi and blood reserves were monstrous even by the standards of prodigies.

His martial realm was not especially high,

yet he had mastered as many as eleven martial arts techniques to the state of unity between man and nature.

That was not something an ordinary person could achieve.

Even if someone could do it,

they would not waste so much time.

With that time,

they would be better off focusing on a single technique and merging with the Heavenly Dao as soon as possible.

Faced with Chen Feng’s relentless barrage, Su Yuanshan handled it with ease.

Before long, he seized an opening

and brought Chen Feng crashing down from the sky with a single kick.

However, Su Yuanshan could clearly feel that

Chen Feng’s Indestructible Golden Body had risen to another level in defensive strength.

Though it was still shattered by that kick,

the impact sent a sharp pain through Su Yuanshan’s leg as well.

The battle between Chen Feng and Su Yuanshan also stunned people all around the world.

All of them were watching the clock.

Midnight, at the hour of the Rat, was about to end.

They never expected that, in the end, it would still be the Great Xia hero who held that demon at bay.

“I wonder how many Ghost Mound stone coffins our side opened, and how many the enemy opened.”

“Whether they ultimately succeed or fail, they’ve already done everything they could. We spectators have no right to judge them.”

“Almost everyone else is dead, apart from the Great Xia hero.”

“In seven days, the fate of this world will be revealed. I only hope their sacrifices were not in vain.”
