Xu Feng sheathed the No Enmity black sword and once again grasped the Fire Dragon Whip.
With one strike, he severed Hua Baili's wrist. Xu Feng had mentally accounted for Jin Liaoyuan; Hua Baili was the catalyst for everything that had happened. It was because of his interference that the battle at Wuhua Island occurred.
On the ground, Hua Wanduo, exposed for her actions, was filled with shame. She knelt before Hua Guinian and said, "I have brought disgrace to our family. Please grant me death." Hua Wanduo's face was filled with humiliation, and she no longer wished to live.
Hua Guinian pulled Hua Wanduo up, tears streaming down his face. "It is my fault; I am incompetent. If I hadn't been so intent on dominating, Baili would not have provoked the New Moon Sect and Guiyi Sect. You are extraordinary; you would not have lost to Qiu Wuling."
Hua Du had just regained a bit of spiritual energy and rushed over to grab Hua Wanduo, crying, "Master, jealousy has brought you shame."
Several leaders from Wuhua Island were weeping together, shocking Chu Wushang and others. The once-great heroes of Wuhua now showed their emotional side.
Hua Qian Zhi remained stern-faced. Hua Baili had lost too much blood and, overwhelmed with emotion, had already fainted in his hands. Gently, he let go of Hua Baili, who fell like a slowly drifting leaf into the crowd of Wuhua Island disciples. Several rushed to catch her and took her away for treatment.
In the sky, Xu Feng's Wings of the Strange Dragon gently flapped like a soft rhythm, but everyone knew this lyrical tune would soon turn into rock music.
Unbeknownst to anyone, a glimmering droplet of water appeared in Hua Qian Zhi's hand. This droplet shone a hundred times brighter than any jewel from the mountains, its powerful spiritual energy felt even by the Five Faction Cultivators outside.
"Do you want to be a hero?" Hua Qian Zhi toyed with the grape-sized droplet in his palm. "I will fulfill your wish to be a hero—not only that but also a martyr."
No one knew what this droplet was, but they all understood it was something good for Hua Qian Zhi and something bad for his enemies.
Xu Feng sensed danger and began to retreat faster and faster. However, he could not outpace Hua Qian Zhi. Despite being injured, Hua Qian Zhi's speed had not diminished much as he grinned sinisterly while closing in on Xu Feng like an adhesive plaster.
The two quickly became mere black dots in everyone's eyes as they advanced and retreated. The Five Faction Alliance did not attack; with Wuhua Island on the brink of collapse, any assault would only provoke desperate resistance from them. Once Xu Feng defeated Hua Qian Zhi, he could win without further conflict.
Hua Qian Zhi chased after Xu Feng. It seemed he held all the advantages, but Hua Guinian could not smile; he knew this might be Hua Qian Zhi's final strike—a chance to become either king or bandit in one decisive move.
In the vast sea where water met sky, Hua Qian Zhi finally closed in on the distance he needed—specifically when Xu Feng stopped moving. Injured, Hua Qian Zhi had only a slight advantage in speed; Xu Feng realized he would eventually be caught. After flying about forty or fifty miles, Xu Feng ceased running.
Without landing and surrounded by no islands at all, Xu Feng's giant wings flapped while Hua Qian Zhi appeared disheveled in pursuit.
"Not running anymore?"
"Do you still want to chase?"
"Running this far, who will help you collect the body? What's the point?"
"It's fine, I'll help you collect it."
The sparkling droplets transformed into a ball of White Mist, disappearing in Hua Qian Zhi's palm. In the next moment, Hua Qian Zhi's blood-red eyes became incredibly clear, and an invisible, powerful energy seemed to flow throughout his body, even causing his clothes to bulge.
"Die!"
Hua Qian Zhi swung the Purple Lightning Sword, and a bolt of lightning cut through the sky, the air exploding as ripples of shockwaves spread through the space.
Xu Feng shot backward, unleashing three strikes with the Fire Dragon Whip, but only using the second strike, Hua Qian Zhi's Purple Lightning Sword sent Ultraman flying, crashing into Xu Feng's whip.
Boom! Xu Feng, who was originally retreating, had his direction changed by Hua Qian Zhi's sword and plummeted into the sea. Ultraman was struck down first, shooting into the water like a cannonball. Before the waves settled, Xu Feng's figure also dove in.
"Bang bang!" Two loud explosions erupted, creating towering waves. Xu Feng and Ultraman were struck down to the seabed by Hua Qian Zhi's sword, leaving no trace behind; they were likely dead beyond recovery.
Hua Qian Zhi was very satisfied with this sword strike, even a bit pleasantly surprised. He hadn't expected such power from this strike. If he had known that the low-grade Earth Immortal Essence had this effect, he wouldn't have exhausted himself battling Xu Feng for treasures. With one strike, everything was resolved.
Bubbles began to rise on the surface of the sea, followed by a pool of blood that spread out into a bright red patch.
Hua Qian Zhi waited in the sky for five minutes but did not see Xu Feng's body surface; instead, dozens of sharks appeared. The sharks fiercely collided in the water, crazily fighting over something.
Hua Qian Zhi's expression grew increasingly grim. Five minutes might be just a fleeting moment for sharks, but for Hua Qian Zhi at this moment, it was invaluable.
His Earth Immortal Essence could only sustain his combat power for ten minutes. Like Ultraman, he could only unleash three strikes; after three strikes, the spiritual energy of the Earth Immortal Essence would be depleted. However, after ten minutes, even if he didn't make a move, the Earth Immortal Essence would disperse from his body.
Unfortunately, he only had a drop of Earth Immortal Essence.
Time passed second by second, and Xu Feng still did not surface. As soon as Xu Feng showed any sign of life, Hua Qian Zhi could strike down his head with a single sword, ensuring he was completely dead.
One must see a person in life and see their corpse in death. This is an ironclad rule, whether in the mortal realm or among the Modern Clerks.
The blood-red surface of the sea faded, and sharks left one after another. That body, which everyone was anxiously waiting for, still did not rise to the surface. Hua Qian Zhi was unable to dive into the sea; the resistance of the water would diminish the power of the Earth Immortal Essence by more than half, and there were unpredictable sea monsters lurking beneath. Although the strongest sea monsters here were only at Sixth Level, it would still be difficult to eliminate them underwater. Hua Qian Zhi did not dare take that risk.
When the last shark departed, Hua Qian Zhi's Earth Immortal Essence was completely exhausted. With his spiritual energy depleted, Hua Qian Zhi swayed in the sky, feeling a disoriented intoxication after the excitement.
The surface of the sea returned to calmness; even the wind ceased, creating a mirror-like expanse of water without any ripples.
He must be dead; he should be dead. If he isn't dead... then I will die.
Hua Qian Zhi descended, using his remaining spiritual energy to sit cross-legged on the surface of the sea. He took several pills to gradually restore his internal spiritual energy and heal his injuries.
Hua Qian Zhi could not return now; the Five Faction Alliance had hundreds of swords waiting for him. With his current strength, any Golden Core Cultivator could easily take his head. He needed to keep this head intact to return to Zheguo's Sect, where there were senior brothers looking after him and a Master Ancestor who believed in him. In Liuxiang Kingdom, he was talented; in Zheguo, he was equally talented.
Not far away, a dark object rose from the calm sea—a human head.
It moved; it was not a dead man's head but Xu Feng's head.
Facing Xu Feng's appearance, Hua Qian Zhi surprisingly remained calm. "So you really didn't die. How was it down there?"
"It was fine, just quite boring," Xu Feng emerged from the water's surface, stepping lightly on it. "I was just playing with seahorses in an underwater cave; those sharks were too big to fit in there and couldn't harm me."
Hua Qian Zhi placed the Purple Lightning Sword across his knees and said, "Do you want to kill me? You might as well give up on that thought; I won't die at your hands."
In this desolate place, aside from dying at Xu Feng's hands, who else could he possibly die at? Would he die by his own hand?
"I'll say it again, hand over Cai Shujun. Go back to where you came from and never return to Liuxiang Kingdom."
"Cai Shujun is that important to you?"
"Every one of my friends is important."
"Friends?" Hua Qian Zhi seemed to reminisce about this distant term. Do I have friends? Who are my friends?
Xu Feng said, "You are out of spiritual energy now. I can take your life at any moment, but considering..."
"You just want me to hand over Cai Shujun; there's no need for so many reasons."
"Alright, you're right. Where is Cai Shujun?"
Hua Qian Zhi sneered, "I've already sent her out of Liuxiang Kingdom. Well, I sold her. She was quite presentable and sold for ten million spirit stones."
"Where was she sold? What place? How can I find her?"
"She was sold to the Sacred Cauldron Pavilion in Zheguo. You can use the Teleportation Array at Sincere Auction House to get to Zheguo. Whether you can rescue her depends on your luck."
Hua Qian Zhi was surprisingly cooperative, which caught Xu Feng off guard. Xu Feng frowned and said, "You're very cooperative..."
"I'm only cooperating because I want to make a request," Hua Qian Zhi continued without caring whether Xu Feng agreed or not. "I did this, so I hope you won't trouble my family."
Xu Feng sneered, "What I'm thinking is that you're very cooperative, but that's not the answer I want. Cai Shujun has no enmity with you, yet you sold her and then told me where to find her. Should I thank you for that? I'm asking you to hand her over, not to come out yourself."
Hua Qian Zhi knew there was no escaping this and angrily said, "The path of cultivation is filled with bloodshed and killing; survival of the fittest, the weak are prey to the strong. It's already good that I didn't kill her; do you expect me to support her?"
This kind of robber's logic flowed easily from Hua Qian Zhi's mouth. Xu Feng drew the Crack Sword and said, "In that case, don't blame me. From now on, you'll be an ordinary person." Xu Feng raised his sword and aimed it at Hua Qian Zhi's Dantian.
Ultraman was severely injured by Hua Qian Zhi's sword strike. Xu Feng was unable to heal him and had no choice but to temporarily put him away, waiting for another opportunity to restore him. The Crack Sword returned to Xu Feng's hands.
Xu Feng had no intention of killing Hua Qian Zhi. After all, disputes among Modern Clerks were frequent, making it hard to determine who was right or wrong. If Chu Wushang held a powerful card, he might also develop a desire for dominance.
However, when Hua Qian Zhi actually "exported" Cai Shujun, Xu Feng could no longer hold back and decided to strip Hua Qian Zhi of his cultivation, reducing him to a mere mortal, so that he would stay away from Modern Clerk and live out his life on Wuhua Island.
In the vast sea, Xu Feng's Crack Sword raised a column of water as it ruthlessly stabbed toward Hua Qian Zhi.
"Bold!"
Suddenly, a loud shout echoed across the empty sea surface, and then a sturdy figure appeared before Hua Qian Zhi. Without any visible movement, Xu Feng felt an immense force surge toward him, like a mountain crashing down, sending his body flying like a kite, far away.
"Poof." Xu Feng spat out blood and fell onto the surface of the sea.
Struggling to get up, Xu Feng tried to see the figure that had suddenly appeared but could not make out anything clearly. A wound had opened on his forehead, blood streaming down and blurring his vision.
Am I going to die...
