Chapter 676: Killing Ma Fengxing in a Rage

BOOM!

Hong Yu charged in front of the Ancient Demon Crocodile.

Man and crocodile.

They collided like two great mountains. Terrifying energy scattered in all directions, causing the entire lake to tremble violently. The surging power kicked up wave after monstrous wave.

‘That bastard Ma Fengxing.’

Hong Yu had naturally sensed Ma Fengxing’s retreat. A flicker of anger appeared in his eyes as he sent a telepathic message, “Ma Fengxing, what the hell are you doing? Get over here and help!”

Ma Fengxing stood quietly in the distance, a playful smile on his face. He replied telepathically, “Brother Beichen, rest assured, I would never retreat from a battle. However, my Celestial Horse Race excels at long-range attacks. I’ll wait here, biding my time, and strike the moment an opportunity presents itself!”

Hong Yu shot Ma Fengxing a venomous glare.

But now the Ancient Demon Crocodile had shifted its hatred onto him, leaving him no choice but to fight. “Beast, die!”

BOOM!

The phantom of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Elephant suddenly surged forth.

Even at eighty meters tall, the Heaven-Devouring Demon Elephant still looked somewhat small before the Ancient Demon Crocodile.

However, its momentum firmly suppressed the Ancient Demon Crocodile.

A cold glint appeared in the Heaven-Devouring Demon Elephant’s eyes. With a furious roar, it charged forward on all fours.

A black aura spread from its body, yet it carried a bizarrely sacred ripple of power.

ROAR!

The Scale Armor on the Ancient Demon Crocodile’s body shifted with a metallic clang that made one’s scalp tingle.

The scales on its back shot out like blades, one after another, striking like a hailstorm.

“Bring it on!”

Hong Yu roared, his eyes flashing with a cold light.

The Heaven-Devouring Demon Elephant’s hooves shook the heavens as it roared repeatedly, instantly erupting with immense momentum.

With a twitch and a swing of its trunk, two terrifying Energy Vortexes formed before it, forcefully sucking in all the sharp scales.

This made Ma Fengxing, watching from a distance, furrow his brow. ‘This Beichen is too strong, isn’t he? He’s probably a Half-step City Lord Level existence. Damn it! If this continues and he kills the Ancient Demon Crocodile, won’t he take the Treasure on its body for himself?’

At this thought, Ma Fengxing’s gaze gradually turned cold.

A Golden Great Bow appeared in his hand. The Celestial Horse’s Wings on his back condensed into a golden arrow, which was smeared with Ancestral Essence Blood, causing it to gleam with a faint, bloody light.

He watched coldly, prepared to decide his target at the critical moment!

The moment Ma Fengxing took out the arrow, Hong Yu sensed it, and a cold glint appeared in his eyes. ‘Ma Fengxing, you’d better behave. Otherwise, I don’t mind flaying you alive!’

ROAR!

The Ancient Demon Crocodile was already severely injured, and now it was being suppressed by the aura of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Elephant. A trace of anger and resentment appeared in its eyes.

It suddenly opened its mouth and spewed a cloud of thick, black fog.

‘The beast is trying to escape!’

Hong Yu understood instantly.

If it were an ordinary Desolate Beast, Hong Yu might not have given chase. But the Ancient Demon Crocodile was an extremely vicious and vengeful evil creature.

It had already locked onto his aura, and it would even remember the aura of the Cat Girl Warrior who had been in contact with him. If he let it escape now, it would surely lead to endless retaliation in the future, creating a persistent threat.

At this thought.

‘I have to go all out!’

Hong Yu took a deep breath.

Golden rays of light enveloped him, incredibly dazzling and blinding.

The Annihilation Divine Light in his left eye flared with black light, shooting out like a black arrow and instantly piercing through the thick black fog.

Then, with a PFFT, it sank into the Ancient Demon Crocodile’s body.

The Ancient Demon Crocodile was just about to flee when it was suddenly struck by the Annihilation Divine Light. Its mind went blank with a BUZZ, and its body froze for a moment.

Hong Yu seized this opportunity, and the World-Burning Golden Lotus in his right eye suddenly activated.

Masses of dark golden flames enveloped the Godslaying Spear as he unleashed the Second Layer of the Piercing Void Spear Technique.

“Who can contend with me!”

Shrouded in dark golden flames, the Godslaying Spear swelled in size again. A hundred-meter-long Spear Aura shot out, incomparably sharp and enhanced by the Nine Netherworld Burning World Flame. It was truly indestructible, a force none could contend with!

The vast and fierce energy wave surged like a river, reaching the Ancient Demon Crocodile in an instant.

BOOM!

The Nine Netherworld Burning World Flame instantly enveloped the Ancient Demon Crocodile’s head. The terrifying flames burned its flesh, dissolving most of the black Demonic Qi around its body and shattering many of its sturdy scales. At the same time, the hundred-meter-long Spear Aura plunged into the Ancient Demon Crocodile’s head.

SPLAT!

Its brains splattered. The Ancient Demon Crocodile let out a wretched cry, its huge body suddenly stiffened, and it fell toward the lake’s surface.

Hong Yu dove down, preparing to pull the Godslaying Spear from the Ancient Demon Crocodile’s head. But just then, the pores all over his body seemed to explode. An icy chill shot up from the base of his spine and swept through his entire body.

‘Not good!’

Hong Yu’s heart sank.

「Meanwhile.」

Ma Fengxing, in the distance, had already locked onto Hong Yu completely. He suddenly loosed an arrow from the Golden Great Bow in his hand.

BZZZT!

The arrowhead tore through the air, shattering the void as it flew toward Hong Yu.

Its speed was comparable to a bolt of thunder.

It crossed the distance of several dozen kilometers in the blink of an eye. This was a Divine Arrow infused with the Ancestral Essence Blood of the Celestial Horse Race, and its power was unparalleled.

It was every bit as powerful as the arrow Ma Qi had once used!

“Ma Fengxing, you’re really courting death!”

Hong Yu roared in fury.

Ma Fengxing’s face wore a sinister smile. Bathed in the bloody light of the arrow, his expression was exceptionally ghastly. He sneered, “This Ancient Demon Crocodile carries a great Treasure. If you had only managed to wound it, I would have naturally dealt with it myself. But you shouldn’t have—you absolutely shouldn’t have—been able to kill it. If I don’t strike you now, won’t you take the Treasure? Beichen, don’t blame me for this!”

Ma Fengxing muttered to himself, his face a mask of confidence and excitement.

The power of such a Divine Arrow was enough to threaten a City Lord Level expert. As for a Half-step City Lord Level expert caught off guard, there was no chance of survival!

But the smug look on Ma Fengxing’s face quickly vanished.

Just as the arrow was about to strike Hong Yu down, his figure suddenly vanished into thin air. When he reappeared, he was already a hundred meters away.

The ferocious arrow pierced straight through the Ancient Demon Crocodile’s corpse.

Blood stained a large patch of the lake red.

But Hong Yu was completely unscathed. Feeling the immense shockwave of energy from behind, he couldn’t help but feel a surge of lingering fear.

That fear was immediately followed by overwhelming rage—rage to the absolute extreme!

He had kindly helped Ma Fengxing deal with the Ancient Demon Crocodile, yet the man had not only stood by and watched the entire time, but he had even tried to ambush and kill him at the last moment to take the crocodile for himself.

If he hadn’t been on his guard, he would have undoubtedly been killed by that arrow!

“Ma Fengxing, you’re dead!” Hong Yu raised his spear and charged toward Ma Fengxing.

Ma Fengxing’s expression changed slightly. He quickly plastered on a smile and waved his hands. “Beichen, don’t misunderstand! I was just trying to help you kill the Ancient Demon Crocodile. I have no ill intentions toward you!”

“Motherfucker, no ill intentions? How about I kill you first, and we’ll call that ‘no ill intentions’ too!”

In his fury, Hong Yu couldn’t be bothered to hide anymore. The Divine Demon Wings suddenly unfurled.

Staring at the six black wings, Ma Fengxing was stunned for a moment, then his expression changed drastically. “Six black wings? Y-y-you… You’re Hong Yu?”

Hong Yu gave a cold smile. “That’s right, it’s me!”

‘You’re actually Hong Yu? Beichen is Hong Yu? Damn it…’

Ma Fengxing’s face fell.

When the Eight Great Battle Clans and Four Great Divine Cities had previously dispatched experts to the Central Combat Zone, Ma Fengxing had competed with Ma Qi for the position of team leader. In the end, Ma Qi had proven superior and led the team away.

Ma Fengxing had been holding a grudge ever since, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Although he hadn’t ended up leading the team to the Central Combat Zone, Ma Fengxing had seen the basic information on Hong Yu. The six black Divine Demon Wings were Hong Yu’s symbol.

‘I should have known. How could a Half-step City Lord Level expert appear out of nowhere? I should have known…’

A feverish light danced in Ma Fengxing’s eyes. ‘He has the Venerable Golden Bone? Heheheh, as long as I kill him, the Venerable Golden Bone will be mine! Besides, if I kill him now, no one will know Hong Yu entered the core region, and they certainly won’t know I have the Venerable Golden Bone. Once I possess the Venerable Golden Bone, my strength will increase dramatically!’

At this thought, Ma Fengxing nocked his bow and drew the string.

With a WHOOSH, a golden arrow shot out.

One hundred and eight golden arrows followed, streaking toward Hong Yu like rainbows tearing through the sky.

Hong Yu gave a cold smile. “These arrows of yours are quite a bit weaker than Ma Qi’s!”

“You’ve met Ma Qi?”

Ma Fengxing froze.

Hong Yu curled his lip in disdain and said no more. He swung his Godslaying Spear relentlessly, and tens of millions of golden Spear Auras exploded with thunderous booms. The void trembled, and the calm lake below churned with violent waves.

Thunder fell from the void, roiling the lake’s surface. The terrifying fluctuations of Elemental Power were a cataclysm of destruction.

SWISH! SWISH!

Under the force of Hong Yu’s assault, the lake water instantly rose into a wall a hundred meters high.

The arrows easily pierced the water wall and exploded, creating a torrential downpour.

When the water wall disappeared, Hong Yu’s figure had also vanished.

Ma Fengxing’s expression changed slightly. “Where is he? How did he disappear?”

Suddenly…

Ma Fengxing abruptly looked down at the lake water below him. “Not good!”

But it was too late!

BOOM!

From within the clear lake water, a black shadow suddenly shot out, dragging a massive white wave behind it. The churning spray resembled a Water Dragon.

Hong Yu’s figure soared up, defying the heavens.

He instantly reached Ma Fengxing’s position. The Extinction Divine Light momentarily robbed Ma Fengxing of his consciousness, and the Godslaying Spear pierced straight through his body from below.

BOOM!

His Battle Qi scattered as Ma Fengxing’s body cracked and split in two.

Blood rained down, organs flew, and flesh scattered everywhere.

Thus fell Ma Fengxing, a genius of his generation. The Golden Great Bow, still holding a golden arrow, fell limply, never to be fired again.

Hong Yu plundered all the Treasures from Ma Fengxing’s body. Upon inspection, he made a startling discovery…

“Huh? What’s this…?”
