Faced with Li Rui's provocation, Feng Qi was furious. With a sharp sound, he drew a short knife from his waist and stepped forward, coldly smiling:
"Since you are so eager to die, I will certainly fulfill your wish. Come, take a look at my knife; this is a custom piece made by Master Liu Shan, capable of cutting through iron like mud. One strike and I guarantee you will die quickly and painlessly."
"Custom piece? Your taste is truly unmatched; that knife is so ugly it's hard to describe. Also, you talk too much!"
"Since you want to die quickly, then die!"
Feng Qi was infuriated. His figure swayed as he suddenly leaped in front of Li Rui, not even using the knife, but instead raised his foot and kicked towards Li Rui's chest.
In his eyes, Li Rui was just a useless opponent who could be taken down with one move. He didn't want to use his own knife now, feeling it would be an insult to the blade. Moreover, this method of killing was too easy for Li Rui; he wanted to torment him with his fists and feet.
A practitioner at the Peak of Body Refinement could reach speeds of fifty to sixty meters per second. An ordinary person would be unable to catch a glimpse of his figure.
However, in Li Rui's eyes, his speed was actually quite slow, and his moves were full of flaws. Practitioners at their level were very cautious about being unstable during combat; Feng Qi's current performance was simply asking for death.
At this moment, Li Rui could have easily incapacitated him with one move, but in order not to alert Feng Yi, he refrained from doing so and instead crouched down to sweep his leg, sending Feng Qi crashing to the ground with a loud thud.
With a clang, under the heavy impact, the beloved custom knife was unintentionally thrown away.
—Not good, this guy had hidden his strength; Feng Qi is in danger!
Dazed from the fall, Feng Qi had yet to react when Feng Yi noticed something was wrong. To save Feng Qi, he suddenly threw out a flying knife towards Li Rui.
Whoosh!
The flying knife sliced through the air, creating a piercing whistling sound as it cut through the atmosphere.
Li Rui squinted his eyes, suddenly twisting his body to the side and swiftly dodging, his right hand reaching out to snatch the last of the two flying daggers just in time, then flipping it back with a flick of his wrist.
"Ding!"
Feng Yi did not dodge or evade; in order to save Feng Qi, he rushed forward quickly, knocking the flying dagger away with his sword. With a flourish of his blade, he aimed for Li Rui's heart.
"Good coming!"
Li Rui smiled calmly, not in a hurry. He feigned a sideways movement, retreating while spinning and extending his right hand, fingers flicking—
"Ding ding ding ding."
His fingers struck the spine of the sword with crisp sounds. With each flick, the force on the sword weakened, and Feng Yi's control over it diminished.
As the two drew a half-circle in the space between them, the power of the longsword had already waned, and Li Rui seized it with one hand.
At that moment, Feng Qi had already regained his senses. He lunged forward from Li Rui's side like a hawk swooping down on its prey, delivering a powerful punch aimed directly at Li Rui's back.
He put all his strength into this punch; the immense force even created a low rumble in the air.
In just about ten feet of distance, he closed in rapidly. Seeing that Li Rui was completely unguarded and about to be hit squarely by the punch.
"Die!"
Feng Qi let out a low growl from his throat.
Li Rui seemed to have eyes on the back of his head, suddenly turning to the side and bringing Feng Yi's sword tip right in front of his fist.
The two brothers quickly retracted their moves simultaneously, both letting out a muffled grunt as they stumbled to a stop.
Li Rui steadied himself and was about to step forward to throw a couple of punches when Ping'er approached from the side, looking concerned, and said, "Young Master, are you alright?"
She just happened to block Li Rui's path of attack.
Li Rui frowned and couldn't help but curse himself; although she was just a weak fighter, he shouldn't have overlooked this unstable factor.
In this brief delay, the two brothers had already steadied themselves and attacked from both sides in a pincer formation.
"Li Family Child, no matter how deeply you hide, today is your day of death!"
Li Rui sneered coldly, stepping forward instead of retreating, closing in on Feng Qi and throwing a punch.
Just like that, a simple timing difference broke the brothers' coordinated attack.
"Good!"
Feng Qi did not dodge or evade; he gathered his energy and threw a straight punch back at him.
"Bang!"
The sound of two fists colliding was like two large drums crashing together, producing a dull thud.
Li Rui's body swayed slightly, while Feng Qi staggered back two steps.
This outcome completely surprised both parties.
Feng Qi thought that Li Rui could not possibly have such great strength.
In Li Rui's mind, his punch should have broken his opponent's fist and defeated him in one blow.
However, the opponent's strength was far beyond what he had anticipated; it was at least two thousand five hundred pounds!
This was a moment of oversight for Li Rui. He had always thought that those at the Peak of Body Refinement had around a thousand pounds of strength, mostly ordinary cultivators who had just broken through.
The Feng Brothers had long since entered the Peak of Body Refinement, and their strength had gradually increased through training, nearing perfection. They were not much weaker than Li Rui, who had just recently broken through.
Before Li Rui could think further, Feng Yi had already launched an attack, swinging a sword directly at Li Rui's head.
At this moment, Li Rui became cautious and did not want to meet the opponent's blade with his bare hands. He quickly sidestepped and retreated to avoid the strike.
Feng Yi adjusted his sword stance and continued to press the attack.
At that moment, Feng Qi jumped to the left of Li Rui to block him, while Ping'er silently appeared behind Li Rui on his right. She intended to force Li Rui to confront Feng Yi directly.
Given her current position, if Li Rui retreated, he would send her right into the path of Feng Yi's sword. In her mind, Li Rui would never sacrifice his life so easily.
Clearly, she overestimated herself; Li Rui did not hesitate to retreat again, sending her straight into the path of Feng Yi's sword.
"Swish."
The longsword sliced through her snow-white neck, leaving a thin line of blood.
"Huh... huh..."
She looked at the three people in disbelief, wanting to say something, but no words came out.
The Feng Brothers were also stunned by this sudden turn of events and stopped their actions.
Seeing her incredulous expression, Li Rui sighed and shook his head:
"Miss, you could say you've gotten what you wished for; after all, dying for your mission is nothing to resent."
"This life's fate has come to an end. To thank you for your care over the years, I will help you one last time so that your soul won't be scattered."
With that, Li Rui gently grabbed her and tossed her off the cliff. She floated down like a drifting leaf.
This is the greatest mercy from Li Rui. After all, if she were to die at this Summit, she wouldn't even be able to keep her soul.
Regardless of her motives, she has "served diligently" for such a long time, and Li Rui doesn't want her to end up in a state of despair. He only hopes that in her next life, she can be a good person and not engage in such inappropriate actions.
A beautiful person, yet reduced to thievery?
"Li Rui, I didn't expect you to sacrifice your woman's life just to survive. You are truly unworthy of being human!"
Feng Yi finally reacted and immediately launched into a righteous rebuttal, hoping to disturb Li Rui's state of mind.
How could Li Rui be disturbed by such trivialities? He sneered and said, "You talk too much; it doesn't sound like something a man would say. You two are actually women, aren't you?"
"Hmph, still stubborn when death is imminent. Watch my sword!"
The two finally realized that arguing was futile and decided it was better to take action. They charged at Li Rui again with renewed determination.
This time, they set aside their underestimation and prepared thoroughly, ready to strike steadily. Without an absolute advantage in strength, facing a two-on-one situation, Li Rui ultimately found it difficult to fend off their attacks. He was somewhat overwhelmed and had to maneuver defensively.
However, prolonged defense leads to loss. Li Rui knew that if things continued like this, the situation would become dire. He had previously thought it would be easy to deal with the two of them but had become overly confident.
"Ha!"
Li Rui dodged Feng Yi's sword light and punched Feng Qi, but his feet stumbled involuntarily.
"What a chance!"
Feng Yi's eyes lit up; he certainly wouldn't miss such a great opportunity. He quickly rushed forward and thrust his sword directly at Li Rui's heart from the side.
"Die!"
Feng Yi's longsword swiftly pierced within three inches of Li Rui's body, undoubtedly a very dangerous distance.
Two feet, one and a half feet, one foot.
Just as it seemed he would be hit, at the critical moment, Li Rui finally activated his Divine Ability.
His strength increased by fifty percent, and his speed doubled!
The longsword had already pierced Li Rui's clothing.
Li Rui pressed his palms together and firmly clamped the sword before its tip could pierce his skin, twisting it forcefully.
With a crack, the longsword broke, and Li Rui thrust it back into Feng Yi's shoulder blade.
"Ah!"
Feng Yi let out a terrible scream, blood flowing profusely.
"What?"
The situation took a sudden turn, and Feng Qi was greatly shocked. He rushed forward and threw a powerful punch at Li Rui from the side to rescue Feng Yi.
"Come on!"
Li Rui did not dodge; instead, he turned and threw a punch back.
"Bang!"
The two fists collided, sounding like a firecracker going off. Feng Qi's palm, along with his arm and shoulder, was shattered by Li Rui's punch, exposing the gruesome white bone along with hot blood.
"Ah!"
Feng Qi let out a more tragic cry than his brother.
In the blink of an eye, both of them had lost their fighting ability.
However, Li Rui did not stop. He grabbed both of them with one hand each and kicked their leg bones until they broke, sealing their acupoints and forcing them to kneel before him by pressing on their necks.
"Stop!"
At that moment, a loud shout echoed, and a figure quickly approached from the mountain path, moving at nearly twice the speed of Li Rui, arriving in front of him in the blink of an eye!
After all, he was a cultivator who had entered the Qi Hai Realm, and his strength was not something the current Li Rui could compare to.
"Stop! If you come any closer, I will kill both of them!"
Li Rui calmly shouted to halt the approaching figure three yards away.
The figure suddenly stopped, revealing a middle-aged man.
He was dressed in a yellow robe, with an eagle-like nose and deep-set eyes, his thin lips like knives, glaring fiercely at Li Rui.
"Father... Father?"
"Father, save me!"
The Feng Brothers were overjoyed to see him.
This man was indeed their father, Feng Shaofeng.
"Li Rui, release them, and I will spare your life."
"Ha ha... Feng Shishu, there's no rush. I still have some questions I want to ask you."
Li Rui chuckled, noncommittal.
Feng Shaofeng followed closely behind. Li Rui naturally knew that with him around, it would be nearly impossible to take the lives of his two sons!
Li Rui could only choose to subdue the two of them as quickly as possible before he could react.
At first, Li Rui didn't use heavy force to injure Feng Qi, just to prevent him from acting out of desperation. That would complicate matters.
He initially thought that with his own strength, he could subdue the two without using Divine Ability, but their strength was unexpectedly formidable. However, once he activated Divine Ability, everything returned to a reasonable direction; this is the power of Divine Ability.
Now that he had both of their sons in his hands, was he still afraid they could turn the tables?
