From Jueqingzi, a crack opened and then he summoned the Dao Artifact. Xu Feng calmly faced the enemy and unleashed the Butcher's Blade. All of this happened in an extremely short amount of time, leaving even Jueqingzi unable to react.
Fan Gang's expression changed drastically as he thought, "This is bad!"
Jueqingzi's sword, which had split the ground, broke through the murderous aura of the Butcher's Blade and struck in front of Xu Feng. It was only at this moment that he realized the killing intent did not originate from Xu Feng but emanated from the Butcher's Blade in his hand.
"You..." Jueqingzi was so shocked that he couldn't speak. His sword also hesitated slightly at this critical moment due to a shift in his mindset.
Xu Feng's lips curled into a cold smile, filled with a cruel sense of death. Combined with the murderous aura from the Butcher's Blade, it reflected in Jueqingzi's eyes. For the first time, Jueqingzi felt the approach of death and sensed its presence.
"No, it's impossible. He won't kill me; he wouldn't dare... he definitely wouldn't dare..." In that instant, Jueqingzi silently prayed within himself.
However, Xu Feng, as a transmigrator, did not give Jueqingzi a chance to start over.
With a light sweep of the Butcher's Blade against Jueqingzi's Dao Artifact, it was easily knocked aside. Then, a miraculous footwork appeared beneath Xu Feng, who seemed to be facing his opponent head-on but suddenly circled behind Jueqingzi.
Jueqingzi could not see Xu Feng's figure; he only felt an armed arm lock around his neck. Then, with a gentle pull of that arm, Jueqingzi felt himself spinning. The next moment, he was astonished to find that he was looking at his own back.
Then... Jueqingzi saw nothing more; his life came to an end at that moment.
Blood flew up as Xu Feng swiftly severed Jueqingzi's head with one strike. Jueqingzi's blood-spraying body fell into the sea like a dead dog, while his Dao Artifact transformed into a streak of light and flew into Strength King Fan Gang's hands.
The once-renowned Jueqingzi lost his head at the hands of Xu Feng in front of tens of thousands of cultivators, leading to his demise and disappearance from existence.
As Xu Feng twirled the blade, Jueqingzi's head dropped down. In full view of everyone, Xu Feng dared not collect his Yuan Ying.
The entire scene fell into a deathly silence following Jueqingzi's death.
Before the match, there had been overwhelming support for Jueqingzi, yet he had lost!
The Heartless City Lord, who had been famous for over a thousand years, was unexpectedly beheaded by a Nameless Soldier!
These past two hundred years have truly been a disastrous period for Wuwei Academy. First, Qianlongzi was killed, then Qingyunzi was severely injured, and soon after, both Not Returning Child and Silverbeard met their demise.
Today, Jueqingzi was again publicly beheaded.
The Wuwei Six Sons have dwindled down to just one, the black-and-white piece, in a mere century. This is undoubtedly a humiliation for Wuwei Academy and a heavy blow to its reputation.
The cultivators who bet on Jueqingzi to win were left speechless; despite having used a Dao Artifact, he was still killed, far beyond their expectations.
When Fan Gang rushed out as Xu Feng unleashed the Butcher's Blade, the events unfolded in the blink of an eye. He barely made it halfway when Jueqingzi's head was ruthlessly severed.
As Fan Gang jumped out, Meng Hui from the Golden Stone Workshop and Nong Qing from Shennong Valley also leaped forward, glaring at Fan Gang. All three were cultivators at the Mid-Stage of Great Achievement, and none could afford to overlook the others.
Seeing this situation, Xu Duo Chou and Xu Huiying also stepped forward to block Xu Feng.
Fan Gang, having taken Jueqingzi's Dao Artifact, said, " Meng Hui, Nong Quan, do you also wish to oppose Wuwei Academy?"
Meng Hui replied, " Xu Feng has some connections with the Golden Stone Workshop. I don't want anyone bullying the weak."
Fan Gang coldly responded, "Of course you have connections; otherwise, that kid wouldn't possess a Dao Artifact. Not only does he have a Dao Artifact, but you even taught him your unique technique, the Shadow Step. The Golden Stone Workshop is quite generous."
Meng Hui scoffed, "You're not wrong. I taught him the Shadow Step. I found him pleasing to the eye and decided to teach him. What's the problem?"
In recent years, the relationship between the Golden Stone Workshop and Wuwei Academy had rapidly deteriorated. Their confrontation was expected; what surprised everyone was that the footwork used by Xu Feng to kill Jueqingzi was personally taught by Meng Hui.
Infuriated, Fan Gang said, "The Golden Stone Workshop is courting death. If anything happens in the future, don’t say I didn’t warn you." This was a blatant threat and provocation.
A figure flew out from the crowd; it was Yuan Wujie, the leader of the Shenxing Sect. Yuan Wujie was also at the Mid-Stage of Great Achievement, qualified to participate in their conversation.
Yuan Wujie said, "Power King, the duel between Xu Feng and Jueqingzi was decided a hundred years ago. Life and death are fated; you cannot blame Xu Feng just because he killed Jueqingzi." As a neutral party and the organizer of this duel, he felt it necessary to speak up for justice.
Fan Gang found it difficult to express his anger and could only say, "I am not here to kill Xu Feng; I just want to retrieve the Dao Artifact belonging to Wuwei Academy."
With this statement, Yuan Wujie's responsibility was fulfilled. He did not wish to get involved in these conflicts, so he chuckled and stepped back.
Meng Hui gave Xu Feng a thumbs-up before retreating as well, an action that infuriated the cultivators from Wuwei Academy.
Fan Gang turned to Nong Qing and said, "The Golden Stone Workshop has connections with Xu Feng. Does your Shennong Valley also have ties with him? Do you want to stand up for him too?"
Nong Qing replied quietly, "You are correct. Xu Feng once saved people from our Shennong Valley in the Chaotic Sea, but I am not here to help him this time; I want to ask you a few questions."
Fan Gang sneered, "What a coincidence! I also happen to have a few questions for your Shennong Valley."
Nong Qing said, "Power King, you must remember the incident a thousand years ago when we were asked to send our Grand Elder to gather herbs in the Beast Wasteland."
Fan Gang turned to look at Nong Ban, who was also watching him with ill intent. Fan Gang said, "I know about that matter; it has nothing to do with me. It was purely an accident, and I regret it." He brushed it off lightly.
Nong Qing continued, "Everyone knows who is right and who is wrong regarding that incident. Let me ask you again: Ming Mountain sent assassins into the Chaotic Sea to kill five disciples from Shennong Valley. Was that instigated by you?"
Upon hearing this, the crowd began to murmur. From the conversation between Nong Qing and Fan Gang, it became clear that there were some grievances between the two factions. It turned out that Wuwei Academy had already targeted Shennong Valley, which explained why Shennong Valley no longer did business with Wuwei Academy.
Naturally, Fan Gang would not take on that accusation. He said, "Nong Qing, you need evidence for your claims. Everyone knows what kind of people Ming Mountain consists of; they can be hired to kill as long as there is money involved. We at Wuwei Academy are the number one sect in Xian Dao, not the number one merchant."
Nong Qing replied, "Whether you acknowledge it or not doesn't matter; I already have some evidence. The truth will soon come to light."
"Then let's wait until you have enough evidence. I want to ask you one thing: when will you from Shennong Valley also kill the last of the Wuwei Six Sons, who is now just a black-and-white piece?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire venue was shocked, even Xu Feng was taken aback. Could it be that Wuwei Academy knew about Shennong Valley's assassination of the Wuwei Six Sons?
Nong Qing maintained a calm expression and said, "I heard that the Wuwei Six Sons were ambushed, with casualties on both sides. This matter has nothing to do with Shennong Valley, and I regret it as well."
Fan Gang let out a cold laugh and suddenly looked towards Nong Quan in the distance, asking, "Nong Quan, how is your injury? The taste of Fire Sand is quite nice, isn't it?"
Xu Feng felt a sense of foreboding. From Fan Gang's tone, it was clear he already knew about Shennong Valley's assassination of Qianlongzi. He tugged at Xu Duo Chou and whispered, "You all leave first and protect the people from Liuxiang Kingdom."
Xu Duo Chou noticed Xu Feng's serious expression and realized that something significant might happen. He replied, "You take care too," and retreated into the crowd with Xu Huiying.
Nong Quan was also taken aback and said, "I have sustained many injuries while practicing my swordsmanship, but none compare to your Fire Sand injury."
The onlooking cultivators sensed the underlying tension in the conversation and hoped for a quick confrontation between Shennong Valley and Wuwei Academy to alleviate their frustration over losing bets. They also felt anxious for Shennong Valley; if it was indeed people from Shennong Valley who ambushed the Wuwei Six Sons, there would be quite a show to watch.
Fan Gang continued, "Nong Quan, don't think that just because you've disguised yourself, no one will notice. When Silverbeard and Not Returning Child were killed, you weren't even in Shennong Valley. You didn't appear for an entire year afterward. That Chen Erhuo in Shuangfeng City was set up by you; everyone in Shuangfeng City saw it. Do you still want to deny it?"
"That's just one-sided talk," Nong Ban interjected. "All of this information must have come from Nong Yue, who is intent on taking my position and has ulterior motives. He has long been stripped of his elder title and is imprisoned in Shennong Valley. All the information you received from him is completely fabricated."
Nong Yue was the Second Elder of Shennong Valley's Herb Valley. After Nong Ban left, he took over as acting Grand Elder and secretly communicated with Wuwei Academy while suppressing Martial Valley and the Valley Master. He advocated for cooperation with Wuwei Academy and was a core member of the Main Alliance.
After Nongyi developed the Soul Nurturing Pill, Shennong Valley gained a Sword Formation and significantly increased its strength. As Nong Yue gradually lost power, he was ultimately imprisoned.
Wuwei Academy's plan to control Shennong Valley through Nong Yue fell apart. This was also why Farming insisted that Xu Feng must hand over the Soul Nourishing Pearl to Nongyi—to prevent Xu Feng from unknowingly giving it to Nong Yue.
With Nong Yue imprisoned, Shennong Valley severed business ties with Wuwei Academy. Soon after, Qianlongzi was killed, prompting Wuwei Academy to send Demon Hunters to stake out Shennong Valley. Through various details, they ultimately concluded that the black-clad individuals using the Sword Formation were indeed from Shennong Valley.
However, lacking evidence, Silverbeard and Not Returning Child set an ambush in Shuangfeng City, intending to capture Nong Quan alive. Unfortunately, their plans were thwarted when Xu Feng unexpectedly intervened, not only rescuing Nong Quan but also killing Not Returning Child and Silverbeard.
Wuwei Academy dispatched five Great Achievement Stage Cultivators this time, aiming for Jueqingzi to kill Xu Feng and then provoke Shennong Valley to draw out Nong Quan. They planned to use a Dao Artifact to force him to unleash his Sword Formation; once the Sword Formation was activated, the blame on Shennong Valley would be solidified, allowing Wuwei Academy to mobilize the entire academy and eliminate Shennong Valley with justification.
What they never anticipated was that Xu Feng would ruin their plans again. It was unclear what benefits Golden Stone Workshop had gained from him, but they provided him with a Dao Artifact and had Meng Hui teach him Shadow Step, which led Jueqingzi to prematurely activate the Dao Artifact, ultimately resulting in his own death at Xu Feng's hands.
Now, Shennong Valley refuses to acknowledge any wrongdoing, and Fan Gang is at a loss.
This plan had been established three years ago. At that time, it was decided that Jueqingzi would replace Silverbeard as a means to pave the way for future actions; Jueqingzi's true opponent was Nong Quan from Shennong Valley.
The root of all mistakes lay in underestimating Xu Feng's strength. They originally intended to use this duel to seize leverage against Shennong Valley but were instead thwarted by Xu Feng.
Fan Gang couldn't find a reason to confront Shennong Valley and vented all his frustration on Xu Feng. With a shift in thought, he prepared to target Xu Feng instead. Since Xu Feng had a good relationship with Shennong Valley, dealing with him might provide an opportunity to draw out Shennong Valley.
At that moment, someone in the crowd shouted, "Xu Feng, aren't you capable of Sword Formation? If you use Sword Formation, even Power King wouldn't be your match."
