Thunder Hammer! Low-Grade Dao Artifact!
At Wuwei Academy, there is only one Dao Artifact among the Five Masters and Six Disciples, while each of the Three Sovereigns and Four Kings possesses one Dao Artifact. The Dao Artifact of the Strength King Fan Gang is this Thunder Hammer.
Though it seems close, it is actually over a hundred meters away. However, for Fan Gang, who is at the Mid-Stage of Great Achievement, this distance is almost negligible.
The diameter of the Thunder Hammer is one meter; even before it arrives, the force of its swing can be felt.
With a swift motion, Xu Feng angled his wings and slid out the Butcher's Blade, narrowly escaping through a gap beneath the hammer.
When the Butcher's Blade lightly touched the Thunder Hammer, an immense force swept over, instantly altering Xu Feng's flight direction. He flew diagonally for three to four miles before stabilizing himself.
Just from that single touch, Xu Feng was sent flying four miles. If it weren't for his exceptionally strong Five Elements Body, that blow would have been enough to take his life.
Fan Gang, surprised that he hadn't killed Xu Feng with that strike, exclaimed, "Not bad, you’re still alive." He lifted the Thunder Hammer and charged again.
The Gun King Fang Zhongxin was also taken aback. He knew the Power King's strength; he couldn't catch up to Xu Feng, but a single strike from the Thunder Hammer could easily kill anyone at the Divine Separation Late Stage. Even a Great Achievement Stage Cultivator like Heibai Zi would perish instantly. Yet, somehow, Xu Feng had survived that blow.
Wiping the corner of his mouth, Xu Feng continued to flee intermittently. That strike from Fan Gang was the strongest he had ever encountered. Although it only grazed him slightly, he was still knocked back and spat out blood.
In that moment, the Walker arrived first from behind and joined in on encircling Xu Feng, forming a triangle with the Power King and Gun King to trap him in the middle.
Among the three, only the Walker could barely contend with him; both Gun King and Power King were forces to be avoided. Two-thirds of Xu Feng's escape route had been cut off.
As he flew, Xu Feng used his Wood Element Spiritual Power to heal his internal injuries, slowing down slightly. Fang Zhongxin noticed that he was injured and ceased his relentless pursuit. Instead, he blocked off Xu Feng's escape route, preventing him from breaking free. Meanwhile, Fan Gang was determined to crush Xu Feng into a pulp with his hammer, trailing him closely by three to four miles and seizing every opportunity to throw another strike.
Xu Feng charged left and right, but he couldn't break free. In the distance, Demon Hunter and Heibai Zi were rushing over, and the possibility of Xu Feng being surrounded was increasing.
Seeing that Xu Feng had no way to escape, Fang Zhongxin relaxed his pursuit, leaving the heavy lifting to Power King.
"If you want to kill me, have the guts to come after me."
Suddenly, Xu Feng's Wings of the Strange Dragon shot up, plunging into the cold sea with a splash, disappearing from sight.
This was the Chaotic Sea, where the depths reached thousands of feet. The sun could only penetrate about ten fathoms; below a hundred fathoms, it was pitch black. Even cultivators with exceptional eyesight could see only up to a hundred meters away.
"Uh..." Gun King was dumbfounded, secretly blaming himself for forgetting that Xu Feng could dive into the sea. It was dark underwater; searching for him now would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Splashing sounds followed as Power King and Walker jumped into the water one after another, with Heibai Zi following shortly after.
Demon Hunter flew over to Gun King and Fang Zhongxin and said, "Gun King, I have a plan."
As soon as Xu Feng entered the sea, he encountered two Seventh-Level Monsters. Before he could make a move, the two beasts fled as if they had seen a ghost.
Having practiced swordsmanship in the Chaotic Sea for many years, Xu Feng had become a nemesis in the eyes of these monsters.
His Wings of the Strange Dragon moved through the water like two giant paddles, incredibly fast. With just a few strokes, he shook off Power King; even Gun King couldn't match Xu Feng's speed underwater.
After chasing for some time on the surface as darkness approached, it became terrifyingly dark once they submerged. Fan Gang and Walker could only see Xu Feng flicker a few times before being swallowed by the darkness of the seabed.
The two of them delved into a coral reef deep underwater, the place where Xu Feng had disappeared. In the dark depths of the sea, apart from the occasional startled beast, not a single hair of Xu Feng could be seen.
Fan Gang and Walker were a hundred meters apart, exploring ahead side by side. One hundred meters was precisely their visual range.
Due to the Arrow Meridian, Xu Feng had slightly better eyesight than Fan Gang, allowing him to see up to fifty meters away. This meant that Xu Feng could see Fan Gang from fifty meters away, while Fan Gang could not see him.
A cold smile crept onto Xu Feng's lips; history was repeating itself. Back in Mist City, outside the Misty Jungle, Xu Feng had used his superior vision to eliminate dozens of disciples from the Six Major Sects with his Sad Arrow.
But this time, Xu Feng was not using the Sad Arrow.
“There he is!” Walker suddenly spotted Xu Feng, who was moving slowly and cautiously. “He’s injured.”
With Walker's shout, Fan Gang rushed over, but Xu Feng spread his wings and struggled to fly away.
Fan Gang said, “I hit him with a blow; he can't have gone far. Let's split up and search.” The two immediately separated, increasing the distance between them.
After a few minutes, Heibai Zi entered the water. Knowing that he was no match for Xu Feng, Heibai Zi found Fan Gang after entering the sea and stayed within his line of sight, afraid of encountering Xu Feng alone and facing disaster.
Fan Gang could no longer bear it and scolded, “You’re one of the Six Sons, yet you’re scared stiff by a Divine Separation Stage Xu Feng. Don’t worry; I’ve already injured him; he can’t kill you.”
Only then did Heibai Zi reluctantly move away.
Xu Feng caught a large Giant Squid, severely injured it, and wrapped it around himself before hiding in the shadows to observe the movements of Fan Gang and the others. The dark currents of the sea mixed with sounds; Fan Gang could hear the noises made by Xu Feng but could not distinguish whether they came from a person or a beast.
On the surface of the sea, the Demon Hunter held a deep blue basin filled with seawater, in which four flickering light spots blinked intermittently.
The Demon Hunter frowned and asked, "Hmm, Xu Feng is clearly here. Why can't Power King see him?"
Gun King replied, "What do you mean?"
The Demon Hunter pointed at the light spots in the basin and said, "This spot represents Xu Feng, and these three are Power King, Walker, and Heibai Zi. Look, Xu Feng is clearly moving around among them. Why hasn't Power King killed him?"
Gun King asked, "Could it be that he really can't see Xu Feng?"
The two of them felt increasingly uneasy but couldn't pinpoint what was wrong.
Heibai Zi had ventured more than two miles away from Fan Gang and no longer dared to go far. At this point, he could no longer see Fan Gang's figure and could only rely on the extraordinary perception of a Great Achievement Stage Cultivator to know Fan Gang's location.
With a slash, Heibai Zi killed a low-level monster that suddenly lunged at him. The surrounding seawater was immediately stained red with blood. Unlike Jueqingzi, he wasn't so fortunate; he only had a Supreme Treasure Sword in hand. If he encountered Xu Feng's Dao Artifact, he would be utterly helpless and would only have his life to lose.
Ahead, a white-yellow tentacle extended from beneath a dark reef. Heibai Zi recognized it as part of a Giant Squid's body. This was merely a Fifth-Grade Monster with weak attack power. Heibai Zi seized the tentacle and pulled out a half-dead Giant Squid.
"With that pathetic appearance, you think you can ambush me?" Heibai Zi swung his sword down, slicing the ten-meter-long Giant Squid in half.
The seawater was once again stained red with blood; however, this time it was not only the Giant Squid's blood but also Heibai Zi's own essence.
Heibai Zi clutched his neck with both hands, his eyes wide open like those of a shrimp as copious amounts of blood gushed from between his fingers. His treasured sword had long since fallen into the seaweed and was buried by Yellow Sand.
The throat of the Black and White Child made a few gurgling sounds before falling silent. Xu Feng walked over, gently crushed his head, and took away his Yuan Ying. The body of the Black and White Child softened and sank to the seabed, quickly buried like his treasured sword by the Yellow Sand.
The once-mighty Black and White Child, who had reigned for a thousand years, died silently at the bottom of the sea. Until his last breath, he never saw what killed him. However, in the final moment before closing his eyes, he thought of two important symbols associated with Xu Feng: a pair of wings and a bow.
Unfortunately, he had no chance to tell anyone, nor would he ever know what kind of bow had taken his life.
Thus, among the Six Sons of Wuwei Academy, only one half-alive Qingyunzi remained, equivalent to a total defeat. Zheguo would no longer have the Wuwei Six Sons; their once-great names faded into smoke, flowing into people's left ears and out through their right.
No one expected that the end of the Wuwei Six Sons would come from a mere rogue at the Divine Separation Stage.
On the surface of the sea, the Demon Hunter's fingers trembled slightly as he coldly said, "Gun King, Black and White Child is done for."
In the basin, two light spots converged into one before one disappeared while the other floated away.
Gun King turned pale with anger and shouted, "What happened? Do I have to go down there myself for this?"
The Demon Hunter replied with a mournful expression, "Gun King, I think Xu Feng must have used some method to make Power King unable to see him, and his strength surpasses that of Black and White Child..."
Gun King pointed at several people nearby and barked, "You, you, and you! All of you go down there! Remember this position and surround Xu Feng. Tell Power King that Xu Feng is right next to him."
Having been at sea for so long, other disciples from Wuwei Academy had already arrived. However, due to their vastly inferior strength, they hadn’t dared to enter the water. Now hearing Gun King's shout, they were all terrified but had no choice but to obey. Gritting their teeth, they jumped into the sea while inwardly cursing—damn it! If even the Great Perfection Stage Black and White Child was taken down, wouldn’t we Divine Separation Stage practitioners be walking to our deaths?
Nearly a hundred Divine Separation Practitioners were forced into the sea like scattered beans landing around Xu Feng's vicinity.
The strength of these monks is far inferior to the Great Perfection Stage; they can only see up to fifty meters at most. However, their numbers are overwhelming, and according to the Demon Hunter's calculations, their positions are just right, perfectly surrounding Xu Feng. No matter which direction Xu Feng moves in, he will be spotted.
Xu Feng did not expect that Wuwei Academy would suddenly send so many people after him. After killing Heibai Zi, he had barely walked a mile before being confronted.
"Xu Feng is here! Come kill him... Help!" The lucky disciple from Wuwei Academy shouted halfway through, suddenly realizing he was no match for Xu Feng. In a panic, he changed his tune and cried for help.
Xu Feng noticed that he had already fallen into the encirclement; there was no way to escape.
With a swoosh! Blood splattered as Xu Feng wielded the Butcher's Blade, cleaving the Divine Separation Late Stage monk in half with a single strike.
The Butcher's Blade shone brightly, illuminating the area within a hundred meters. The heavy killing intent seemed capable of parting the sea. The Divine Separation Practitioners who had just entered the water saw Xu Feng in the strong light and rushed to surround him.
Xu Feng's eyes turned red as he activated Shadow Step, executing Thousand Miles Kill.
"Those who block my path shall die!"
