Chapter 262 - 151: Qingfeng Critically Injured, Enemies Meet

If he were facing either one of them alone, he was confident he could kill them outright!

But facing two experts of the same realm drastically increased the difficulty. Even though he held a slight advantage, it had come at a terrible cost. A single misstep could lead to his demise! He didn’t dare let his guard down for even a moment.

If this was how it had to be, then he would paint the rivers red with blood and plunge the world into darkness!

WHOOSH!

As the thought crossed his mind, Jiang Qingfeng stood tall in the sky, his blood-red robes whipping in the wind. His hair danced wildly, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and a terrifying Dao Rhythm coiled around him. Then, he erupted with Heaven-Reaching Magical Power, his boundless might shaking the very foundations of the world!

Immediately after, Jiang Qingfeng raised his arm and clenched his fist. He gathered Heaven-Reaching Magical Power from the highest heavens, then threw a punch. In an instant, a colossal Fist Seal infused with a bloody rhythm formed, like a great sun smashing through the sky as it plummeted downward!

"Damn it!"

"How does this guy still have so much power!"

Gu Sha’s expression was so grim it looked like water could be wrung from it.

’I thought this would be an easy win, but now the tables have almost turned. It seems this is the only way...’

As the thought formed, Gu Sha had already decided his next move. A ferocious look appeared in his eyes, which glinted with a scarlet light!

The ultimate Demonic Power erupted from his body once more. Boundless, heavy, and pitch-black Demonic Power covered an area hundreds of miles wide. Gu Sha then raised his hand, formed a fist, and gathered the surging Demonic Power. With a sudden thrust, a massive, deep black Fist Seal shot upward against the tide, heading straight for the blood-red fist from the heavens!

Nearby, Ao Jiuyou also unleashed an unprecedented amount of power. A vast, primal worldly aura rose from the space around him. As his fingers formed a seal, the terrifying Dao Rhythm coiling around him instantly merged with the fearsome worldly aura.

It finally coalesced into a dark, madly spinning millstone. It resembled a giant black hole in space, and its mere presence in the void exuded a terrifying might capable of Devouring Heaven and Earth!

The next moment, the horrifying millstone, wrapped in boundless and majestic might, blotted out the sky as it shot straight toward the great Blood Evil fist above!

RUMBLE!

The full-power techniques from both sides collided violently in the sky. With the point of impact as the epicenter, it seemed as if the world lost all light and color, reverting to primordial darkness and chaos. The very concepts of time and space seemed to blur in that instant!

Immediately after, an immense surge of energy erupted. Terrifying shockwaves blasted out in all directions, and layers of storms swept the surroundings, covering an area over a thousand miles wide.

"Go!"

Gu Sha barked at Ao Jiuyou, then transformed into a streak of light. As if traversing space itself, he leaped thousands of miles away in an instant!

Ao Jiuyou’s eyes lit up, and he nodded, following suit. ’This Jiang Qingfeng is a cut above either of us right now. If we keep fighting, we might actually die.’ The thought of his own mortality spurred him into action. The moment Gu Sha’s voice fell, he transformed into a dark, meteoric glow and crossed thousands of miles in an instant, fleeing the area without a shred of hesitation!

The sky was shattered. The vast plains below were torn asunder as far as the eye could see. The setting sun was the color of blood.

Jiang Qingfeng stood tall in the highest heavens, his robes soaked in fresh blood. Wounds covered his body, laced with the remnants of a deep Dao Rhythm and black Demon Qi. His injuries were grievous, yet he stood with his hands behind his back, his expression unchanged. His deep eyes seemed to pierce through space itself, staring in the direction the two had fled.

’Are they gone?’

Jiang Qingfeng’s aura was incredibly powerful, like a rising sun, showing no hint of weakness.

After waiting quietly for a few breaths,

PTHOO!

Jiang Qingfeng clutched his chest and violently spat out a mouthful of blood.

Droplets of blood trickled down from the sky. Each drop, containing immense energy, instantly incinerated the surrounding earth upon landing on the broken ground.

"Damn it all to hell!"

’Looks like my injuries are much worse than I thought.’

’Fighting two at once was really pushing it.’

’I thought these two newly-advanced Tongxuan Realm experts wouldn’t be that strong, but each one was incredibly powerful. The strength they displayed was far beyond that of a typical new Tongxuan.’

’That forced me to fight for my life, to secretly burn my blood essence to erupt with overwhelming combat power. That was the only reason I was able to gain the upper hand.’

’If I had shown the slightest sign of weakness or defeat...’

’...this probably wouldn’t be the outcome.’

’Even so, with injuries this severe, I probably won’t recover without several decades of recuperation.’

At this thought, an overwhelming rage couldn’t help but surface on Jiang Qingfeng’s face. He then uttered in a sinister, cold voice, "Demon Fiend... Sinful Dragon... Just you wait..."

With that, his figure vanished, streaking toward a distant corner of the sky.

...

Meanwhile, high above the vast plains, two figures streaked across the clear, azure sky.

Along their path, the endless plains stretched out below them.

"Hm? What’s this..."

Soon, as they flew across the sky, they spotted an endless stretch of shattered land below, crisscrossed by fissures that looked like enraged, snarling dragons.

Xiao Chen’s expression tightened. ’What kind of experts could have caused such a catastrophe below?’ The broken, torn, and sunken land stretched for thousands of miles, far beyond the horizon.

"I fear a True Monarch must have fought here," Gu Yun said. His powerful senses could detect the terrifying remnants of Dao Rhythm lingering below.
