The voice was loud, and the entire Jumping Fish Island heard it clearly.
Xu Feng knows Sword Formation? He already has the ability to kill Jueqingzi. If he really knows Sword Formation, then...
Xu Feng felt a darkness before his eyes, nearly fainting.
Sword Formation is his greatest trump card. Once it is exposed, there is no doubt that everyone will know he killed Not Returning Child and Silverbeard, and even Qianlongzi and Qingyunzi's accounts will be placed on him. He wouldn't be able to clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
The one who shouted this was none other than Guo Ruomin from Xiaoyao Sect, who had nearly been crushed by Xu Feng several times.
Xu Feng really wanted to slap himself; he had momentarily softened his heart and let Guo Ruomin go. This person, whom he considered weak enough to crush with a finger, was the only one who knew that Xu Feng possessed Sword Formation.
Two hundred years ago, Xu Feng encountered the traveling Seven Young Masters of Xiaoyao Sect and Guo Ruomin outside the cave of the Giant Spirit Water Ape. They got into a fight after failing to find common ground. Xu Feng defeated Xiao Fei and ultimately severely injured Guo Ruomin with Sword Formation, exhausting his own spiritual power in the process, resulting in both of them being gravely wounded.
In the following two hundred years, Xu Feng had at least three opportunities to kill Guo Ruomin but had inadvertently let him go each time.
But at this critical moment, Guo Ruomin unexpectedly made such a statement. Combined with Xu Feng's performance in killing Jueqingzi, it made people believe him to some extent.
Strength King Fan Gang was the first to react. He reached out suddenly and grabbed Guo Ruomin in mid-air as if he were bound by an invisible force, unable to move.
Fan Gang shouted, "What did you just say? Xu Feng knows Sword Formation?"
Guo Ruomin glanced at Xu Feng and said viciously, "That's right. Xu Feng indeed knows Sword Formation. He can launch eighteen Flying Swords at once. When he was still at the Golden Core Stage, he used Sword Formation to severely injure me, almost costing me my life. Even if he turned to ashes, I would recognize him. Now that he has the strength to defeat Bai Jue Qing Zi, if he uses Sword Formation, he can definitely defeat Not Returning Child and Silverbeard together."
Guo Ruomin's arguments were logical and aimed directly at Xu Feng's downfall.
Xiao Bie Li, the sect leader of Xiaoyao Sect who came along, looked ecstatic. Xu Feng had killed Xiaoyao Sect's Fourth Young Master Xiao Hun; Xiao Bie Li thought he would never get revenge. Now that there was an opportunity to frame Xu Feng, he certainly wouldn't let it slip away.
Xiao Fei quickly added, "That's right! Xu Feng first injured me with Sword Formation and then wounded Guo Hu Wei. It’s truly fortunate that I escaped a disaster. Knowing his secret, I am certain he is the black-clad swordsman who attacked several seniors from Wuwei Academy."
Xiao Bie Li saw his son like this and was certain it was true, so he stepped forward to identify Xu Feng as the murderer.
The surrounding cultivators were in an uproar; Xu Feng was actually the black-clad man who ambushed the Wuwei Six Sons? This was unbelievable.
With the stance taken by Sect Leader Xiao Bie Li, Guo Ruomin's words added even more credibility. Nong Ban, Xu Mo, Shen Lan, Meng Hui, and others also cast doubtful glances at Xu Feng.
Could it be that everything about Xiaoyao Sect was true?
Fan Gang's mind raced as he quickly recalled the circumstances of the Six Sons' deaths, his expression growing increasingly shocked. All previous signs pointed to Shennong Valley, and Fan Gang confirmed that Nong Quan had been in Shuangfeng City at the time of Not Returning Child's death, which had a significant connection to him. The only thing Fan Gang couldn't explain was how Nong Quan managed to kill both Not Returning Child and Silverbeard simultaneously.
If Xu Feng were included in the whole affair, all questions would be satisfactorily answered.
Qianlongzi was killed in Liuxiang Kingdom, and Xu Feng just happened to be there as well, among hostile forces. Xu Feng had been living in seclusion for years, with few knowing his whereabouts. Judging by his method of killing Jueqingzi, he was already capable of defeating Silverbeard, yet he still needed to orchestrate a century-old agreement. If he truly knew Sword Formation, sneaking into Shuangfeng City to kill both Not Returning Child and Silverbeard would not be difficult at all.
After the murderer killed in Shuangfeng City, they lost thirteen Supreme Treasure Swords and were poisoned by Fire Sand. Shortly after, Xu Feng appeared in Shennong Valley, injured from a fight. At that time, Demon Hunter happened to be in Shennong Valley and could never have imagined that Xu Feng would know Sword Formation.
As long as Xu Feng knew Sword Formation, all explanations would become reasonable. Xu Feng could immediately replace Nong Quan as the prime suspect.
Fan Gang tossed Guo Ruomin aside and turned his gaze toward Xu Feng with a cold smile: "I really misjudged you; I actually overlooked someone like you."
Anyone could see that in the next moment, Fan Gang was about to tear Xu Feng apart.
All eyes were focused on Xu Feng, waiting for his explanation, eager to hear how he would plead for mercy from Fan Gang and confess to Wuwei Academy in hopes of leniency.
Xu Feng still held Butcher's Blade in his hand, his expression terrifyingly calm. He made no explanations but looked towards Cai Shujun and softly said, "Don't worry about me; protect our people well."
Protect our people?
Naturally, "our" referred to the people of Liuxiang Kingdom.
Xu Feng's words were light, yet they resonated with everyone, striking a decisive chord in their hearts like a giant hammer.
"That's right, Qianlongzi, Not Returning Child, Silverbeard—I've killed them all. Unfortunately, one escaped, Qingyunzi; I only took half of his life," Xu Feng said with a smile, as if it were a trivial matter.
The cultivators seated around were stunned by Xu Feng's declaration and all stood up in shock. Goodness! Xu Feng actually killed the Wuwei Six Sons!
Fan Gang did not act immediately; he shook his head gently, unsure whether to feel regret for Xu Feng or frustration over his own mistakes.
With that one statement, Xu Feng had essentially sentenced himself to death.
Gao Jingsong clenched his fists, veins bulging on his forehead. A smooth hand patted him on the shoulder, and a voice from behind him said, "Don't act rashly; we are far from being their match. Dying would be pointless; let's wait until we return to Liuxiang Kingdom."
Xu Mo walked over with an icy expression and looked at the people from Liuxiang Kingdom. "Rest assured, no matter what Xu Feng has done, he is still a member of the Xu family. I will ensure everyone leaves safely."
The Xu family had not even made it into the top ten of Xian Dao; only Xu Huiying and Xu Duo Chou were Great Achievement cultivators. If Wuwei Academy sought revenge, it would be a problem just to protect themselves, let alone the people of Liuxiang Kingdom.
Fortunately, Xu Ruchu and Shen Qian arrived just in time. Shen Qian said, "Don't worry, the affairs of the Xu family are also the affairs of Pingdao Sect."
Although Shen Qian had withdrawn from the competition for leadership of Pingdao Sect, his reputation remained intact. Both families understood their relationship well; he was essentially the son-in-law of the Xu family. If Wuwei Academy wanted to strike at the Xu family, they would first have to deal with Pingdao Sect.
Pingdao Sect ranked fifth in Xian Dao and was far more powerful than the Xu family.
With Shen Qian and Xu Mo's assurances, the three forces—Liuxiang Kingdom, Pingdao Sect, and the Xu family—naturally united to prepare for Wuwei Academy's retaliation.
Xu Feng had killed four of the Wuwei Six Sons and severely injured one. With such a significant act, there was no way Wuwei Academy would let him off easily; even Zhu Bajie wouldn't believe that. Not only would they not spare Xu Feng, but they would also likely target Koukou Group and all sects associated with Xu Feng.
Finally, Fan Gang waved his hand, and the members of Wuwei Academy who had been waiting for an opportunity surged toward Xu Feng to encircle him.
Meng Hui and Nong Qing sighed helplessly but did not intervene. The situation had changed; Xu Feng had killed members of Wuwei Academy and was now on their kill list. The disciples of Wuwei Academy had justification for revenge, leaving outsiders unable to interfere.
Nong Ban remained silent for a long time, furrowing his brows in thought. He knew that Xu Feng was taking the blame for Shennong Valley, shouldering all the responsibility and clearing Shennong Valley's name.
Fan Gang looked around but did not take action. Leading the charge was Walker, whose long legs allowed him to run faster than anyone else. He aimed to be the first to reach Xu Feng and take him down personally.
Demon Hunter lingered at the back, muttering incantations, seemingly up to something.
As Walker closed in, Xu Feng finally moved. He leaped into the air, the Butcher's Blade shimmering with layers of blood light, and struck down at Walker.
Xu Feng did not sit idly by; he counterattacked in front of Fan Gang, the Strength King at Mid-Stage of Great Achievement.
With a single slash, Xu Feng severed all paths for negotiation. After this strike, he and Wuwei Academy were locked in a deadlock—neither side would back down until one was dead.
Naturally, it was clear that Xu Feng, alone and isolated, was the one destined to die. No one believed he could survive this encounter.
Walker also anticipated that Xu Feng would not surrender easily. As Xu Feng swung his blade, Walker revealed a dazzling treasure in his hand.
A Dao Artifact! Walker had produced his third Dao Artifact of the day!
Gasps of astonishment filled the air; Wuwei Academy truly lived up to its reputation as the top academy, using two Dao Artifacts today.
This was also a sword-shaped Dao Artifact; however, while Jueqingzi's was made of Jinxi, this one was of Wood Element.
When their weapons clashed, a dull sound echoed. Xu Feng was sent flying backward but suffered no serious injuries.
Walker was one of the Five Masters and had significantly higher cultivation than Jueqingzi, only slightly below Mid-Stage of Great Achievement. Even with the enhancement from Arrow Meridian, Xu Feng still fell short and was knocked away by Walker's sword.
Halfway through the sky, Xu Feng rubbed his chest and shouted loudly: "All disciples of Wuwei Academy listen! It is true that I killed your people; debts must be settled with their rightful owners. If you wish to take my life, come find me directly. Do not trouble my Koukou Group or my friends. Otherwise, I will repay you tenfold."
"Wait until you can escape first..." Walker began but then fell silent.
Xu Feng unleashed the Wings of the Strange Dragon, and with a gentle flap, he flew over a hundred meters away, leaving Walker far behind.
"It really is him." Upon seeing the incredible speed of Xu Feng's dragon wings, Walker immediately confirmed his previous suspicion. He had chased all the way from Shuangfeng City to Luofu City without catching even a glimpse of Xu Feng.
Fan Gang noticed that Xu Feng had escaped and glanced back at Yan Lu from the Golden Stone Workshop, coldly saying, "Elder Yan, your Golden Stone Workshop is quite willing to invest."
Yan Lu remained unfazed and replied, "You should hurry and chase; if you don't, you'll lose him for good."
Xu Feng's dragon wings were not news in Zheguo; it was just that their quality had changed. A century ago, they were a pair of Superior Magical Artifacts, but now they had been upgraded to Supreme Treasures.
The flight speed of a Supreme Treasure far exceeded that of Walker, forcing Fan Gang to take matters into his own hands. As a Power King, he aimed to slay Xu Feng, who was at the Divine Separation Stage.
"Chase!" Nearly a hundred disciples from Wuwei Academy followed Fan Gang as they pursued Xu Feng.
