The crow saw Xu Feng flying past and ran over to A Qi, saying, "Cave Master, is Xu Feng capable? He's going after that human alone. Should we bring a few brothers to protect him?"
A Qi replied, "Don't worry, he won't take risks if he's not sure. He has the Wings of the Strange Dragon; even if he can't win, he can escape."
The cultivators from Zheguo were scattered and killed; some died while others fled. In less than half an hour, the battle at Cat Ear Mountain ended, leaving behind limbs torn apart and devoured by the beasts. Many beasts were also killed, their jaws gaping in a gruesome death.
A Qi ordered a few subordinates to collect the magical treasures of the human cultivators and then made a grand show of retreating. The beasts that were still pursuing heard the command and stopped, retreating in a grand procession back into the depths of the Beast Wasteland.
In the battle at Cat Ear Mountain, the Zheguo cultivators suffered heavy casualties, with only a few Divine Separation Late Stage cultivators managing to escape. These cultivators dared not re-enter the Beast Wasteland and disguised themselves to blend into Liuxiang Kingdom, waiting for an opportunity to return to Zheguo.
Fang Wenshan flew along the edge of the Beast Wasteland while Xu Feng chased behind with his wings spread, occasionally releasing Spiritual Arrows that forced Fang Wenshan to dodge.
After a while, they flew hundreds of miles away from Cat Ear Mountain.
At a rocky outcrop, Fang Wenshan stopped and coldly laughed, "Xu Feng, you dare to chase me? Do you really think you can kill me? Are you foolish or just plain stupid? It’s useless now; just surrender and come back with me to Zheguo to face your punishment. We can settle old scores along with new ones."
Fang Wenshan was at the Divine Separation Late Stage; besides being cruel-hearted, his strength was indeed considerable. Although he couldn't match Ye Qiongyao, killing Xu Feng was still within his capability.
Fang Wenshan lunged forward with his sword. He was very close to Xu Feng, and this attack was incredibly swift. Clearly, he had calculated Xu Feng's speed with the Wings of the Strange Dragon and aimed to strike him down as soon as he took off.
However, Xu Feng simply retracted his Wings of the Strange Dragon and raised his Yan Wang Zhan to meet the attack.
With a clash of swords, Xu Feng was knocked back, his wrist cracking.
"Hahaha! If I were you, I would have flown as far away as possible. You don’t seem like a fool; why do you keep doing stupid things? Is it because Xu Ruchu left that you're feeling so lonely? Fine then, I'll send you on your way."
As their swords clashed, Xu Feng realized the gap in strength between himself and Fang Wenshan. If Xu Feng had all five elements advanced together, he could match Fang Wenshan. However, this time he had only managed to elevate his Earth Element to Divine Separation Stage due to time constraints. Moreover, his Earth Element's treasure was merely a high-grade Yan Wang Zhan, which fell short compared to Fang Wenshan's Supreme Treasure.
Xu Feng's strongest technique was the Gale Sword Formation; once thirty-six Flying Swords were unleashed, even if they couldn't kill Fang Wenshan, they would at least ensure his safety by making Fang Wenshan cautious.
However, this time Xu Feng did not use the Gale Sword Formation. It was a trump card that could not be used for a guaranteed kill; thus, he decided against using it altogether.
Whoosh, Xu Feng shot out the Dark Destroyer again, unleashing twenty to thirty Spiritual Arrows all at once, completely enveloping Fang Wenshan.
Fang Wenshan snorted coldly, "A mere trick!" He spun his sword rapidly, scattering all of Xu Feng's arrows.
As the arrow shadows disappeared, a massive crystal fist suddenly struck in front of Fang Wenshan. The four-meter-wide fist left him no room to evade.
"I anticipated you would have such a move." Fang Wenshan was no fool; with Xiang Qi returning heavily injured, Xu Feng's Great Strength King Fist was no longer a secret.
Fang Wenshan did not dodge or evade but retaliated with a punch of his own. He used the Wood Element Dragon Fist from Yue Ren Mountain Villa. Although the cultivation method was inferior to Xu Feng's Great Strength King Fist, he had a solid foundation and an advantage in Mu Ke Tu.
Bang! The two fists collided, and Xu Feng's Great Strength King Fist was shattered.
"Overestimating yourself!"
Fang Wenshan pressed forward with confidence as the fist shadows dispersed, but he could not find Xu Feng's body.
Suddenly! Xu Feng unleashed both Spiritual Arrows and the Great Strength King Fist, finally seizing a chance to close in. Yan Wang Zhan, infused with a sense of death, slashed down from behind Fang Wenshan.
Fang Wenshan was at the Divine Separation Late Stage, far surpassing Xu Feng in strength. When he couldn't hit Xu Feng, he immediately sensed the danger behind him—a reflex honed from years of intense battles.
Fang Wenshan sidestepped and indeed saw Xu Feng swinging his blade, unable to suppress a cruel smile.
Immediately, Fang Wenshan countered with a horizontal slash of his sword while crouching slightly. With his speed of attack, even without crouching, he could strike first and sever Xu Feng in half. For safety's sake, Fang Wenshan still made an evasive move.
This sword strike from Fang Wenshan was incredibly fast. Xu Feng seemed unprepared; as he saw Fang Wenshan's Supreme Treasure Sword sweep past his waist, he failed to dodge in time.
Fang Wenshan was quite pleased with this strike; Xu Feng was not the first cultivator to die under it. This sword counterattack made one think they were lucky when they were actually doomed.
As the sword swept through, it seemed as if Xu Feng had been cut in two, intestines spilling everywhere.
Xu Feng likely realized he could not escape his fate and chose not to evade. Yan Wang Zhan suddenly accelerated and changed direction mid-swing, driving down towards Fang Wenshan's crouched body.
This is a mutually destructive fighting style, and Xu Feng is determined to fight to the end.
Fang Wenshan is not panicking; he anticipated this situation. When one's life is at stake, anyone would have the urge to fight desperately. Fang Wenshan extends two fingers and lightly pinches, catching Xu Feng's Yan Wang Zhan.
No one dares to catch their opponent's sword like this, but Fang Wenshan does because he knows that Xu Feng's strike has lost its power; his body has already been severed in two. Therefore, Fang Wenshan only needs to use two fingers to hold the limp Yan Wang Zhan.
Crack! Two strange sounds reach Fang Wenshan's ears.
This must be the sound of his waist being severed. Usually, it’s one sound, so why are there two this time?
Fang Wenshan wants to see what happened, but he is disappointed. He only sees a chaotic blur in front of him, like a camera that has been knocked over, and then he sees his own body standing still like a wooden puppet, while his head has already vanished.
“No—” Fang Wenshan tries to shout but only manages a brief half-sound before it abruptly stops.
Fang Wenshan's head rolls on the ground next to his severed fingers; the two strange sounds were one from the severed finger and one from the severed head.
Xu Feng steps down, crushing Fang Wenshan's skull and taking his Yuan Ying, saying irritably, “Bastard, you almost killed me.”
Fang Wenshan unwillingly asks, “Why? Why…”
Xu Feng ignores him and stuffs Fang Wenshan's Yuan Ying into a bottle, wiping away a cold sweat as he says, “Exotic Eye, thank you.”
Inside him, the Superior Dao Instrument Ice Fire Blade’s Spirit Weapon Exotic Eye says, “Master, so far I can only help you with this much. If you want me to take action, you must reach the Divine Separation Late Stage.”
Just now, Fang Wenshan's sword was blocked by Ice Fire Blade. Xu Feng still cannot summon Frozen Fire Blade, but Ice Fire Blade is a Superior Dao Instrument with a Spirit Weapon that has consciousness; Exotic Eye can appear anywhere within Xu Feng’s body at any time.
When Fang Wenshan swung his sword over, it completely struck Ice Fire Blade’s blade like an egg hitting a rock. Xu Feng was unharmed while Fang Wenshan’s sword broke in two. At the same time, Xu Feng was prepared and swiftly severed his head.
Fang Wenshan could never have imagined that Xu Feng would possess a Superior Dao Instrument. He had lived for over a thousand years and had never even seen one.
Even now, Fang Wenshan does not understand how he died; it truly is a death without closure.
Xu Feng took Fang Wenshan's ring and flew away. A hungry third-level demon wolf emerged, dragging Fang Wenshan's corpse into the bushes.
At the top of Bailu Mountain, Chu Wushang and a group of people were looking towards Cat Ear Mountain. A disciple in black flew over and said, "Chu Zhangmen, there has been a beast tide at Cat Ear Mountain, and nearly all the people from Zheguo have been wiped out."
"Ah!" Everyone was taken aback. The people from Zheguo were truly unfortunate; beast tides occurred only once every few hundred years, and it was ironic that Zheguo encountered one.
Chu Wushang asked, "How many people escaped, and where did they flee to?"
The disciple replied, "Our dispatched personnel did not see how many escaped or in which direction, but... we saw Xu Group Leader."
"Xu Feng?" Chu Wushang and three Vice Leaders of Koukou Group were shocked. "How could he be there? What is his condition now?"
The disciple said, "We only saw Xu Feng chasing a Zheguo cultivator at the Divine Separation Late Stage. That person looked familiar; he seemed to be Fang Wenshan, the leader of the opposing side during the last negotiation."
Xu Feng at the Early Stage of Spirit Separation chasing Fang Wenshan at the Divine Separation Late Stage? Qiu Wuling and Hua Wanduo exchanged glances. They were two of the top experts in Liuxiang Kingdom and had thought that after all these years, Xu Feng, the number one in Liuxiang, had stepped aside for them. Unexpectedly, Xu Feng's prowess remained undiminished and even more unpredictable.
"Chu Zhangmen, I have returned," Xu Feng called out with a long howl as he descended with a pair of wings.
Seeing Xu Feng return safely put everyone at ease. Chu Wushang said, "Xu Feng, your might is unmatched; it seems I was overly concerned."
Xu Feng replied, "Chu Zhangmen handles matters prudently; I greatly admire that." Chu Wushang knew he was powerless to confront Zheguo and had no choice but to adopt a conservative strategy.
Qiu Wuling asked, "What happened at Cat Ear Mountain? Please explain."
Xu Feng said, "I was just about to address this matter. Chu Zhangmen, please send someone immediately to Cat Ear Mountain to clean up the battlefield; nearly all of Zheguo's experts died there."
Over a hundred people died there? All above the Nascent Soul Stage? Just how many magical treasures and spirit stones would that entail? Upon hearing Xu Feng's words, everyone's eyes lit up.
Chu Wushang immediately assembled a team of thirty members, consisting of ten from the Divine Separation Stage and twenty Nascent Soul Period Cultivators, rushing towards Cat Ear Mountain. To avoid controversy, this team was composed of members from various sects to ensure each sect had two to three representatives.
This was an opportunity to collect wealth, not to engage in battle.
Xu Feng said, "There were five or six cultivators from Zheguo who managed to escape, but they were also seriously injured. Chu Zhangmen needs to arrange for more personnel to conduct thorough checks; we might be able to find them and eliminate the threat completely."
Xu Feng briefly summarized the situation at Cat Ear Mountain, naturally omitting his relationship with A Qi, only mentioning that they had encountered a beast attack.
Chu Wushang sensed that Xu Feng's words were not entirely straightforward and knew there must be some hidden circumstances, so he pretended not to know.
Hua Wanduo remarked, "After this defeat, we don't know if Zheguo will come again. We need to strengthen our defenses."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
With the sudden change in battle situation, the Liuxiang Kingdom shifted from defense to offense, which led to further discussions on how to proceed.
Xu Feng delegated all matters to the three Vice Leaders and then flew out again, disappearing from sight.
