In the square of Bailu Mountain, Xu Feng looked at He Xunji, who was half in the sky.
"Hey? It's been a hundred years, and you've actually advanced. Hmph, do you think this will allow you to escape?" He Xunji was surprised to see Xu Feng reach the Mid-Stage of Great Achievement, but he still spoke defiantly. He was very confident in his External Avatar. When he noticed the nine Great Perfection Stage members behind Xu Feng, he couldn't help but nod secretly; a Koukou Group had nine of them!
The Mountain Guardian Formation of Bailu Mountain had already been activated, and He Xunji could not force his way in for the moment.
Xu Feng turned around and instructed Lin Fangxin and the others not to engage. He then flew out through the formation gate and stood proudly before He Xunji.
He Xunji had brought ten people to assist him, three of whom were from the previously encountered "Three Types": Soul Chaser, Medium, and Broken Backer.
The Three Types were seeing Xu Feng for the first time. Having heard of Xu Feng's methods, they found him unimpressive in person and felt somewhat unconvinced. Among them, Broken Backer was particularly eager to try his luck and shouted, "Xu Feng, you are cunning and treacherous. You plotted against Power King; quickly kneel and admit your mistake, or I will make sure you die a terrible death!"
The disciples of Koukou Group responded with shouts and insults.
"That idiot was defeated by Vice Leader Yi last time and still has the face to say such things."
"He never had any shame."
"With your pathetic self, you think you can fight our Group Leader? You should take a good look at yourself."
"Yeah, if you can't see it yourself, I can let you take a piss to see your reflection."
Broken Backer's remark drew a barrage of insults that made him furious.
He Xunji said, "Xu Feng, you have killed many of our people, but Wuwei Academy is a prestigious sect. There are debts to be paid to their rightful owners; we won't destroy your Koukou Group. As long as you sever your Meridian and come back with me to Zheguo, this matter will be settled. If you force me to take action, I cannot guarantee the safety of Koukou Group."
After being tricked by Xu Feng last time and causing great trouble for Wuwei Academy, which tarnished its reputation, He Xunji had learned his lesson this time. He first displayed the prestige of a righteous sect to avoid being undermined.
The members of Koukou Group knew they were not strong enough to help Xu Feng if they rushed out, so they stayed within the formation and hurled insults at He Xunji.
"What the hell is that?"
"He is from Wuwei Academy, a prestigious righteous sect."
"Are you crazy? The Four Great Villains doing good deeds, do you believe that?"
"Of course, it's crazy."
Xu Feng calmly said, "He Xunji, Power King captured my people. It's only right for me to kill him. You have tried to put me to death more than once. I now remind you, go back where you came from and do not interfere in Koukou Group's affairs, or else..."
"Hmph!" Broken Backer interrupted Xu Feng's words. He was the strongest among the Five Masters and was about to advance to Mid-Stage of Great Achievement. After being defeated by Yi Jiuzhou, he felt humiliated and wanted to regain his face by targeting Xu Feng. "Take my whip first!"
Broken Backer's treasure was an exquisite snake whip made from the bones of a snake during the Transformation Period. When he swung it, the air cracked. He had once used this whip to break the backs of eight Early Stage of Great Achievement cultivators, which is why he was called Broken Backer.
He Xunji did not stop Broken Backer's impulse; he also wanted to see what kind of strength Xu Feng would have after his advancement.
Crack! Bang! Thud!
Three sounds rang out in succession, and Broken Backer disappeared without a trace. It seemed like a long time had passed before a sound of his body falling came from a ravine in Bailu Mountain.
With a snap, Xu Feng reached out and caught the snake whip as if grabbing the snake by its vital point, rendering it immobile.
With a flick of his wrist, Xu Feng snapped the snake whip in two.
With a light strike from Great Strength King Fist, Broken Backer spat blood and flew backward.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye; from Broken Backer's whip strike to Xu Feng's counterattack took no more than a second.
He Xunji's expression was serious as he punched Broken Backer away. He could do it too, but it would never be this easy. The Mid-Stage of Great Achievement Xu Feng was surprisingly terrifying.
What he didn't know was that Xu Feng had double the Arrow Meridian bonus. Broken Backer was merely at the peak of Early Stage of Great Achievement, just one level below Xu Feng. Even if he had the same Mid-Stage of Great Achievement strength, it would be difficult to withstand Xu Feng's Great Strength King Fist.
Not everyone possessed the monstrous strength of He Xunji.
The members of Koukou Group gaped in shock before bursting into deafening cheers.
"Group Leader is mighty!"
"Group Leader is invincible!"
"Group Leader is so cool!"
"Group Leader, I love you!"
To punch away a peak Early Stage of Great Achievement like Broken Backer showcased incredible power. It had been hundreds of years since they had seen the Group Leader make a move, and now he was so impressive!
Soul Chaser and Medium turned pale. Originally confident with Gambling King backing them, they now felt uncertain seeing Xu Feng casually knock Broken Backer nearly unconscious with a single punch. Could Gambling King even match such strength?
Medium looked down from the Sky at Broken Backer in the ravine and called out, "Hey, are you still alive?"
Another round of laughter erupted from Koukou Group.
Soul Chaser shot Medium a glare before flying down from the Sky to pick up the half-dead Broken Backer, whispering, "How are you?"
"My... back is broken."
The back of the Broken Backer was truly broken.
Many years later, the Koukou Group relocated to Zheguo, and the Mountain Valley where the Broken Backer fell was named Brokeback Mountain by the disciples of the Koukou Group.
Xu Feng coldly looked at He Xunji and said, "I will say it once more: I will return from where I came."
He Xunji replied, "Even if you go back, you must take your head with you!"
How could the Gambling King, the leader of the Four Great Kings, possibly retreat at such a critical moment? He Xunji knew that his chances of winning were slim, but he was determined to give it his all.
The Golden Rod had already been swung; once it hit, those lacking in strength would turn into Golden Water.
Xu Feng's Butcher's Blade was also unleashed. This was not their first confrontation, and they understood each other to some extent.
When their weapons clashed, they both took ten steps back. He Xunji used a Medium-Grade Dao Artifact against Xu Feng's Low-Grade Dao Artifact, resulting in a stalemate. This would have been unimaginable a hundred years ago when He Xunji could have sent Xu Feng flying with just one strike.
He Xunji was the first person capable of matching Xu Feng in strength.
"External Avatar!"
Having tested Xu Feng's power, He Xunji realized that without using his ultimate move, he had no chance of winning. He immediately activated his External Avatar.
Soul Chaser held onto the Broken Backer and retreated to the side while Medium stood guard nearby, not daring to intervene in the fight between Xu Feng and He Xunji.
Suddenly, two He Xunjis appeared in front of Xu Feng. These two were equally matched in strength, making it impossible to tell which one was real and which one was fake.
What started as a one-on-one duel had turned into a two-on-one battle.
Xu Feng exchanged a few blows, not daring to prolong the fight. With a change of footwork, he utilized Shadow Step and suddenly circled behind He Xunji, slashing with a reverse stroke. He Xunji was struck and exploded in one hit.
With his clone destroyed, He Xunji realized that the situation was dire. The Mid-Stage of Great Achievement Xu Feng was no longer someone he could contend with.
However, things had already spiraled out of his control.
Xu Feng soared to a height of a hundred feet, the Sky sword light flashing continuously as forty Flying Swords erupted wildly.
The same Sword Formation but with different intensity.
Each sword possessed power close to Butcher's Blade. He Xunji, despite having the Medium-Grade Dao Artifact Golden Rod, could not withstand so many unpredictable Flying Swords. With his clone destroyed, he could only watch helplessly as the Flying Swords rushed toward him.
Soul Chaser and Medium felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave, their bodies chilled to the bone. The once-mighty Gambling King was about to perish under Xu Feng's sword within ten moves; how could these three followers hope to survive and return?
He Xunji gave up resisting and allowed the forty Flying Swords to descend upon him. For a hundred years, he had devoted himself to cultivation, and the Late Stage breakthrough was within reach. However, due to having killed an entire village of mortals with one punch, he had been left with a mental barrier that prevented him from advancing.
Now, facing death like the villagers he had slain, life and death suddenly seemed less significant. Humans die; immortals die too. In essence, there is no distinction between immortals and mortals—what separates them?
Understanding this, He Xunji felt enlightened as he pushed through layers of obstacles and saw Willow Shadows and Flower Brightness.
The long-dormant spiritual energy within him reignited, and the mental barrier that had hindered him began to fade away.
In this moment of life and death, He Xunji unexpectedly broke through his bottleneck and started advancing to the Late Stage of Great Achievement!
However, this moment of beauty came at an inopportune time—it arrived just a fraction too late.
Xu Feng's Flying Swords were already closing in on him.
He Xunji had endured countless hardships and finally found an opportunity, but at the last moment, he was about to die at Xu Feng's hands. He let out a soft sigh and closed his eyes.
Forty Flying Swords flew past He Xunji, brushing against his neck, hair, the corners of his clothes, thighs, and abdomen. Every part of his body felt the presence of the Flying Swords as they zipped by.
However, not a single one harmed He Xunji.
Everyone was stunned, even He Xunji himself could hardly believe it.
In this critical moment, Xu Feng unexpectedly changed his mind and spared He Xunji.
It should be noted that He Xunji had already broken through the barrier to advancement; in less than ten days, he would reach the Late Stage of Great Achievement and become an unparalleled master.
At the Late Stage of Great Achievement, the Yuan Ying would merge with the physical body, making one nearly immortal.
Such a formidable enemy and such a golden opportunity—Xu Feng actually let him go. Once He Xunji advanced to the later stage, it would be extremely difficult for Xu Feng to kill him.
Soul Chaser and Medium were overjoyed and flew in front of He Xunji, urging, "Gambling King, let's go! We need to leave quickly!" fearing that Xu Feng might change his mind.
The members of Koukou Group were also stunned by Xu Feng's actions. Lu Zhongxiang shouted frantically, "Group Leader, kill him! Hurry up and kill him! Don't act on impulse!"
Regardless of how others shouted, both Xu Feng and He Xunji remained unmoved. The two exchanged distant glances, sharing a sense of mutual respect as heroes.
He Xunji did not leave; Soul Chaser and Medium turned pale with fear. The power Xu Feng displayed made killing them seem as easy as killing a dog.
Xu Feng sheathed the Flying Swords and looked at He Xunji, saying, "You can go."
He Xunji frowned and asked, "Why?"
Xu Feng said, "You have not committed great evil. When you destroyed a village with one punch, I also bear some responsibility. I do not wish to kill you. With your strength, within a year, you could surpass the Three Statues of Wuwei Academy and become the strongest under Transcending Tribulation. If I kill you, who will I fight with in the future?"
He Xunji fought Xu Feng at the same Mid-Stage of Great Achievement level. Although he was defeated, he still held his head high; anyone else would have been killed in one move.
He Xunji smiled wryly and said, "With you here in Xuan Continent, how can I dare to claim to be the strongest under Transcending Tribulation?"
Xu Feng turned to Soul Chaser and Medium and said, "Go back and tell Su Ji that Koukou Group has nothing to do with him from now on. If he insists on taking my life, then Wuwei Academy will also pay a heavy price."
The two did not dare to respond and urged He Xunji, "Gambling King, let's go back. We can discuss things when we return." They truly did not want to stay there for another moment.
He Xunji asked, "Go back? Where should we go back to?"
"Of course, back to Wuwei Academy. That is our home."
"Home?" He Xunji suddenly laughed heartily and said, "Home? Down there is my home."
With a flash, He Xunji disappeared, leaving Soul Chaser and Medium in a state of shock.
