Chapter 287 A family should be all together
Xu Feng felt an indescribable force emanating from the "Cloud Cutting" blade.
His hand instantly split open, bleeding profusely, and his entire right arm trembled violently, almost unable to grip the hilt of the knife.
The power contained within those golden wings was like the impact of a mountain!
He groaned and his body flew backward uncontrollably.
The person was forced to twist in mid-air and then crashed onto the cliff by the lake, transferring most of the impact to their feet.
The movements of the "Nine Turns of the Dragon" technique flowed naturally, like a leaf drifting in the wind, releasing its force.
He staggered hundreds of steps, crushing large swathes of rocks beneath his feet, before finally managing to regain his balance.
"puff!"
But a sweet taste rose in his throat, and a trickle of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth.
The Eastern King is also not having an easy time!
As a Star God Weapon, the "Cloud-Cutting" battle blade contains extreme cold properties and the power of unknown laws.
This force seeped into the wings of light, penetrating them bit by bit.
Dong Wang could feel a bone-chilling cold and a strange numbness coming from the edge of the wing where it touched the blade.
The circulation of qi and blood was momentarily sluggish.
What alarmed him even more was...
The sharpness contained within that blue blade rainbow left two clear, deep, bone-revealing slash marks on his wings.
Golden blood seeped out, only to be instantly frozen by the cold air!
"A Star God Weapon?! And that eerie chill!"
The Eastern King was deeply shaken, his gaze fixed on the pale blue battle blade in Xu Feng's hand.
His eyes were serious, and there was even a hint of greed in them.
In just one encounter, both sides felt the other's domineering and troublesome nature.
Xu Feng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes growing even colder.
His "Cloud-Cutting" battle sword pointed diagonally at the ground, and the blue light spots on the blade swirled faster.
The surrounding temperature is quietly dropping.
Blue Eagle also took the opportunity to catch his breath.
They stood in front of and behind Xu Feng, forming a unique angle that subtly surrounded Dong Wang.
The Eastern King held a golden halberd, his wings fluttering slightly.
Dispelling the chill that had invaded their bodies, the golden pupils swept over Xu Feng and Lan Ying, and the killing intent spread out as if it were a tangible thing.
"Very well—the two of them coming to their deaths together saves me some trouble!"
The Eastern King snorted coldly, and his golden blood energy surged forth, instantly shattering the frost.
With a flick of his halberd, it transformed into a sky full of halberd shadows, simultaneously enveloping Xu Feng and Blue Eagle.
"Since you've come here to die, I'll grant your wish!"
Previous intelligence reports stated that the Western King was the leader of the Four Great Beast Kings.
But now it seems that the Eastern King is much stronger than the Western King!
With each swing of the halberd, it was able to draw upon some of the energy of heaven and earth.
This makes each of his strikes powerful and heavy, containing the might to shatter mountains and split rocks.
Xu Feng dared not confront him head-on, and could only rely on his exquisite agility to maneuver around him.
Fortunately, his opponent was not as fast as him and could only glide, unlike Xu Feng who could fly freely.
Therefore, he could move through the sky full of halberd shadows using only his movement skills and the secret technique of escaping to the heavens.
However, it was like a petrel in a storm, extremely dangerous.
Only Blue Eagle could wield two swords and fiercely fight against the Eastern King.
Although he was injured, with Xu Feng by his side, he controlled the throwing knives like a viper spitting its tongue, specifically targeting the Eastern King's joints, wing roots, and the moment when his old strength was exhausted and new strength had not yet arisen.
Blue Eagle, relying on his seasoned experience, wielded his twin swords like butterflies flitting among flowers, his moves cunning and ruthless, constantly creating opportunities for Xu Feng.
In a short time.
The three fought fiercely, the roar of colliding energy filling the air, and the dissipating energy blasted down the surrounding cliffs.
They moved to the water's surface, creating countless waves.
The more the Eastern King fought, the more alarmed he became.
One of the two was incredibly agile, and his throwing knives were sharp and deadly.
One who is experienced and ruthless in swordsmanship.
Their combined abilities actually made this peak-level Limit Lord quite troublesome.
In particular, the cold aura emanating from the young man's knife was constantly eroding his blood circulation.
This means he can only unleash 80% of his full strength.
"We can't let this drag on!"
A fierce glint flashed in the Eastern King's eyes as he sensed a life-or-death crisis.
He suddenly forced the Blue Eagle back with a halberd strike, and the golden light on his wings shone brightly, clearly indicating that he was about to unleash some powerful secret technique.
"Now!"
Xu Feng's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he launched his mental attack, which had been waiting in the air!
Seven Tribulations of Shattered Soul - One Shocking Divine Tribulation!
The highly concentrated spiritual spikes ignored physical defenses and instantly pierced into the Eastern King's sea of consciousness, which had become slightly relaxed due to the activation of a secret technique!
"Well!"
The Eastern King let out a muffled groan, his tall body trembled violently, and a trace of pain and confusion flashed in his eyes.
The golden light gathering behind them also paused for a moment!
The momentary stiffness lasted only a second, but for experts like Xu Feng and Blue Eagle, it was enough!
"kill!"
Blue Eagle seized the opportunity, combining his two swords into a blue lightning bolt that tore through the sky, aiming straight for the Eastern King's heart!
Despite the excruciating pain, the Eastern King forced himself to turn away, avoiding his vital organs, including his heart.
However, the base of his left wing was pierced by the blue sword energy wolf, and blood gushed out!
Almost simultaneously with the Blue Eagle's strike.
Xu Feng frantically poured his vital energy and spiritual power into "Cut Cloud"!
Flying Star!
He merged his body with the sword, transforming into a streak of blue and white light that pierced through the heavens and earth, directly slashing at the neck of the Eastern King, whose wounds had left him wide open!
This strike.
It gathered all his power and killing intent.
Before the blade even arrived, its extreme sharpness and chilling aura had already caused the skin on the Eastern King's neck to crack inch by inch!
The shadow of death instantly loomed over the Eastern King.
He let out a roar of resentment, and all the remaining blood and energy frantically gathered in his right claw.
Ignoring the sword still embedded in Blue Eagle's wing, it slammed down on Xu Feng's head with a suicidal intent.
Even if it means death, I will take the spiritual masters of the human race with me!
If that claw strike lands, Xu Feng will surely die!
In a flash, Xu Feng's eyes sharpened, and he neither dodged nor avoided the attack!
Swish!
however.
What enraged the Eastern King was...
His ferocious claw, imbued with his last ounce of power, slammed solidly into the phantom.
Xu Feng shattered instantly.
Then he revealed his true form from the side.
"Pfft—!"
The "Cloud-Cutting" battle blade, imbued with extreme sharpness and chilling power, sliced through the Eastern King's neck without any hindrance, as if cutting through rotten wood!
Hot, golden blood gushed out of the headless neck like a fountain.
It was instantly frozen into a bizarre mixture of ice and blood under the extreme cold of the blade!
The Eastern King, the leader of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Golden Wing Clan and the most powerful, has fallen!
boom!
The headless corpse swayed and crashed heavily to the ground.
Xu Feng's body went limp, and he instantly flew to Blue Eagle's side, catching the Blue Eagle as it plummeted through the air.
The two then landed with a thud, panting heavily, blood trickling from the corners of their mouths.
Blue Eagle pulled out the twin swords stuck in the root of the Eastern King's Wing, looked at the headless corpse, and then at Xu Feng, who was disheveled but had bright eyes.
He exhaled a long breath of foul air mixed with blood and said hoarsely, "Well done—kid."
Xu Feng raised his head and looked at the Eastern King's head rolling on the ground, a smile tugging at his blood-stained face.
"This is the third one."
Of the four great beast kings of the Golden Winged Clan, three have already perished!
He suddenly remembered this incident and couldn't help but sigh, "Speaking of which, I have to thank the Golden-Winged Clan for the Illusionary Body Talisman they gave me."
Blue Eagle smiled and stopped treating Xu Feng as a junior.
Instead, they regarded Xu Feng as a master of the same level.
"It's fortunate that they don't know about your breakthrough. Even if they did, they probably wouldn't have imagined that your combat power would soar so dramatically."
Blue Eagle shook his head.
The other races suffered from the information gap.
Xu Feng laughed and said, "We should take advantage of this opportunity to kill as many people as possible."
But his gaze quickly shifted to Blue Eagle's pale face: "However, senior's injuries..."
'
Blue Eagle didn't try to hold on: "I can't touch the Limit Lords anymore, so I can only kill some high-level Lords after this."
"But with you at Base Nine, one more won't make a difference."
Xu Feng quickly waved his hand: "Senior, you flatter me. I can only be considered half of your combat strength."
"Don't stand on ceremony with me," Blue Eagle grabbed Xu Feng, "Now that you're at the God of War level, no one dares to underestimate you."
Humility is only popular in the Great Xia Dynasty; don't use it when meeting outsiders.
Strength is the capital for arrogance; the stronger one is, the more arrogant one should be.
Xu Feng: "...Um, I'll do my best."
"Is the Eastern King dead?"
Command Center at Base Nine.
Zhang Huan scratched his head: "How long has it been? The Golden-Winged Clan was wiped out in less than two hours since the battle started."
"That's it. Three of the four great beast kings of the Golden Wing Clan are dead, and only the Southern King, Jin Yuyi, remains in Kunlun."
Gu Cheng put down the documents and said with a smile.
Zhang Huan opened his mouth, then poured himself a glass of water: "In the Wumeng Mountain region, only the Golden Winged Clan can rival us."
The remaining wolf, eagle, tiger, and snake tribes are not a significant force.
"Wait, wasn't it said that the Eastern King was extremely well-hidden and incredibly powerful? Huh? He's dead just like that?"
Gu Cheng smiled and poured him a glass of water: "In other words, we were the first among the districts to deal with the alien race."
Seeing Zhang Huan still standing there in a daze, Gu Cheng laughed and said, "No matter how strong the Eastern King is, he won't be a match for two ultimate war gods."
Xu Feng's current strength is completely at the level of an ultimate war god. Is this result really that surprising?
Zhang Huan rubbed his face: "Too fast."
"What's too fast?" Gu Cheng asked, puzzled.
"This guy is growing too fast; even a mentalist shouldn't be this freakish."
Zhang Huan shook his head in surprise.
"How long has he been at Base Nine? A little over a year, almost two? From a general to a supreme warrior! Let's say two years! Has anyone like that ever happened in human history?"
Gu Cheng replied matter-of-factly, "Yes, there are. Li Hengkong, Morex, Campbell Jean, I can recite a whole bunch, both living and dead."
"Yes, yes...yes—" Zhang Huan stammered "yes" for a long time, but couldn't say anything.
Such a strong person is not so easily born.
They actually ran into them?
"Drink more if you're thirsty," Gu Cheng refilled his teacup. "Now that you've taken care of things in Area C, you can go help out in the other areas, right?"
Gu Cheng smiled and said, "When you get old, you should worry less. With another pillar of support, what else do you have to worry about?"
Zhang Huan rolled his eyes at him: "You're getting more and more mischievous, just like that old man."
Gu Cheng smiled with a face full of ambition: "Once you old guys retire, we'll have to take care of things from now on."
"Wouldn't you be happy to know in advance that you have helpers?"
Zhang Huan looked at Gu Cheng, then thought of the young man on the front lines who was constantly creating miracles, and finally shook his head and laughed, "Never mind, I was just being too attached to appearances."
It seems that it's time for this old man to start thinking about retirement —
Even so, his eyes shone with a light of relief and anticipation.
With such outstanding talents in the base and such promising successors for humanity, the future is bright!
Just as Xu Feng and Blue Eagle slew the Eastern King at the Feathered Heavenly Pool, and the main force of the Golden Wing Clan collapsed, deep within the ancient altar occupied by alien races in the core of the Kunlun Mountain Region...
A figure shrouded in a hazy golden light, whose aura was even more profound than that of the Eastern King, suddenly opened his eyes.
He is none other than Jin Yuyi, the only surviving Southern King of the Golden Wing Clan.
Several alien leaders, including him, are currently stationed here to maintain and accelerate the stability of the boundary gate.
Just as the aura of the Eastern King completely dissipated.
Before Jin Yuyi, on a floating jade disc engraved with the life imprints of the core members of the Golden Wing Clan, the three most dazzling golden imprints representing the Eastern King, Western King, and Northern King made a series of soft "clicking" sounds.
It then completely dimmed, shattered, and turned into dust!
"!!!"
Jin Yuyi's pupils shrank sharply, and the ethereal aura around him instantly became chaotic.
The terrifying energy fluctuations spread uncontrollably, causing the entire altar chamber to vibrate.
"Brother Jin! Hang in there!"
A Qinling Tiger Clan Limit Lord let out a low shout.
"Eastern King Brother — Western King — Northern King —"
He whispered his brothers' names, his voice filled with disbelief, anger, and an indescribable sorrow.
"In a single day—all three Heavenly Kings of my Golden-Winged Clan have perished? How is this possible?!"
He suddenly looked up, his gaze seemingly piercing through the thick mountain rocks, looking towards the direction of Base Nine.
A raging fire and a deep-seated hatred burned in his golden eyes.
"The Great Xia human race! This enmity is irreconcilable!"
He gritted his teeth, practically forcing the words out.
However, after the anger subsided, what surged into my heart was the cold reality and a huge sense of crisis.
Three of the Four Heavenly Kings are gone, and the Golden Wing Clan has lost more than 70% of its high-end combat power.
The clan's territory, the Heavenly Pool of Ascension, has likely already fallen.
Having lost their foundation and most of their top experts, the Golden Wing Clan's status in the 13th Dimension will plummet.
It might even be swallowed up by other covetous alien races!
"We must expedite the stabilization of the boundary gate!"
A resolute glint flashed in Jin Yuyi's eyes.
"As long as the boundary gate is fully connected, it will attract the royal army of the third-order sinkhole and even the Star God Realm ancestor."
Not only will this avenge our blood feud, but it will also allow my Golden-Winged Clan to attach themselves to the royal family and be reborn!
Without further hesitation, he rapidly moved his hands, unleashing a series of profound and mysterious hand seals.
His vital energy surged into the core of the altar as if burning.
The spatial vortex on the altar, which had been rotating slowly, suddenly accelerated, and the spatial fluctuations it emitted became more intense and unstable.
Soon, he slowly finished his work and stood up.
Visibly, its golden feathers had become dull, its golden hair had turned mostly white, and its body was so thin that it looked as if it had been drained dry.
Jin Yuyi looked at the other four figures on the altar: "Everyone, I have to go back."
The White King of the Tiger Clan sighed: "Take care."
Jin Yuyi grinned and walked into an ancient formation.
next moment.
As the light around him shifted, he had already appeared somewhere in the Wumeng Mountains.
Immediately, Jin Yuyi headed straight for the Feathered Heavenly Pool in the clan's territory.
A few minutes later, a mournful roar resounded, and a golden streak of light shot out toward the Qinling Mountains.
Two days later.
Base Nine, Command Center.
Despite the glorious victory of annihilating the main force of the Golden Winged Clan, the atmosphere in the command room was not entirely relaxed.
"According to energy monitoring, the spatial fluctuations at the altar in the Kunlun Mountains suddenly intensified half an hour ago!"
The intelligence officer gave an urgent report.
"It's speculated that the Southern King Jin Yuyi, who remained behind, is resorting to desperate measures and is accelerating the stabilization process of the boundary gate at all costs!"
Zhang Huan frowned as he stared at the red dot on the holographic sand table, representing the Kunlun Altar, its light flashing rapidly: "Estimated stabilization time?"
"Originally, it was expected to take 12-14 days, but now—it might be shortened to 7-10 days! Or even less!"
The intelligence officer's voice was heavy.
"7 to 10 days —" Li Yuanying pondered, "Time is even more pressing."
Although the main force of the Golden Winged Clan has been wiped out, the allied forces of the alien races in the Wumeng Mountains are no longer a threat.
However, the situation on the other side of the Qinling Mountains is not optimistic.
Area B officially requested our assistance this morning.
Commander-in-Chief Di Huaiying said calmly, "It's normal for the other clans to unite after learning about the situation of the Golden Wing Clan."
Moreover, the strength of the Southern King Jin Yuyi is unknown, but he must have extraordinary abilities to be able to sit in charge of the altar.
"I'm probably not far from reaching the Star God Realm."
Everyone's gaze involuntarily turned to Xu Feng, who was sitting in the last row of the conference room.
Blue Eagle is undergoing intensive treatment due to the severity of his injuries and is unable to participate in subsequent operations.
If we're talking about someone who could quickly support Area B and turn the tide of the battle, it would only be Xu Feng.
Xu Feng smiled slightly, clasped his hands in greeting, and stood up: "I'll just stop by to visit my master's wife."
"Okay!" Zhang Huan nodded emphatically. "The base will prepare everything you need."
Xu Feng clasped his hands in a salute to the commander-in-chief, Li Yuanying, Zhang Huan, and others, saying, "I will not fail in my mission!"
The old man spoke slowly, his face filled with remorse: "You could have refused. This isn't a battle you fought alone."
Xu Feng grinned: "Please don't, I'd like to take this opportunity to accumulate more merits."
I'm currently short of money and medicine, and I have several money-guzzling kids in my family.
F
Upon hearing this, everyone smiled slightly, but then became solemn.
"Wind Blade, wishing you all the best."
"May you achieve immediate success!"
"Triumphant return!"
Take good care of yourself!
Xu Feng clasped his hands in a respectful bow to the crowd and said, "See you later."
Without delay, Xu Feng went straight to the airport after leaving the command post.
"Black Bird, target: B-sector core base, top speed!"
"Understood! Please sit tight, Master!"
The black bird solemnly responded and immediately sped off.
Buzz!
With a deep roar from its engines, the fighter jet quickly took off from the short runway.
In just a few seconds, the fighter jet broke the sound barrier and became a blurry shadow that was difficult to see with the naked eye, speeding towards Area B.
Inside the cabin, Xu Feng closed his eyes and concentrated, racing against time to adjust his state.
While the Divine Cleansing Pool's power boosted him quickly, it was so rapid that he never fully adapted to the new power.
In the great battle against the three kings, he was able to readjust his power "between life and death".
He tossed a Vermilion Fruit to Ah She and Ah Kun, and the two beasts devoured it without hesitation.
Several hours later.
The fighter jets quietly landed on the B3 airport's apron.
The hatch opened.
A strong smell of blood and gunpowder wafted over.
The atmosphere inside the base was far more somber and oppressive than at Base Nine.
Everywhere you look, you see medical personnel rushing about and wounded soldiers; the air is thick with a sense of tragedy and exhaustion.
As soon as Xu Feng stepped off the gangway, a familiar figure quickly approached him.
The newcomer was dressed in blood-stained combat gear, travel-worn, with an undisguised weariness and sorrow in his eyes.
It was his teacher's wife, Di Ruyan.
"Xiao Feng! You're here!"
When Di Ruyan saw Xu Feng, a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes, but it was quickly overwhelmed by deeper sorrow.
"Master's wife!"
Xu Feng strode forward and saw Di Ruyan's pale face and bloodshot eyes, his heart sank.
"How are you? What are your injuries?"
"I'm fine, just minor injuries, but my energy and blood have been depleted."
Di Ruyan shook her head, her voice hoarse and hurried.
"But the base itself—the losses are somewhat severe!"
She led Xu Feng quickly toward the command post, explaining the situation at breakneck speed as they walked, her voice trembling slightly as she spoke: "The alien races in the Qinling Mountains are far stronger than we anticipated!"
Especially the old dragon deep in the Qinling Mountains, whose strength is unfathomable.
It also commands three princes of the Jiaolong clan, each a powerful figure among the ultimate lords!
"It has only been three days since the start of the war, and four of our War Gods in Zone B have already died in battle!"
More than ten people were seriously injured and rendered unable to fight!
Even—even Chen He—he fought to the death, being surrounded and attacked by the Jiaolong clan lord while covering the retreat of a small squad!
When she mentioned the name "Chen He," Di Ruyan's voice clearly paused for a moment.
Chen He, the Sword King.
died?
Xu Feng was silent for a moment, then sighed: "Where are the others?"
"Where are Wang Zheng and Shangguan Zhengyang?"
Xu Feng took a deep breath and asked in a low voice.
"They were both injured. Wang Zheng lost an arm, and although it has been reattached, his combat strength has been greatly reduced in a short period of time."
Shangguan suffered internal injuries and remains unconscious.
Most of the other war gods recalled from various bases were also wounded.
Di Ruyan's voice was slightly solemn.
"Xiao Feng, it's not that we're not strong enough, it's just that there are too many Lord-level enemies on the other side."
Almost three times ours!
They employed wolf pack tactics, relentlessly wearing us down.
Meanwhile, their high-end combat power was being firmly suppressed by the old dragon and the three princes.
"Sigh, if it weren't absolutely necessary, your master's wife wouldn't have let you take this risk, after all, you're still a newbie."
Xu Feng grasped his master's wife's cold hand in return, suppressing all his emotions, and said gently, "Master's wife, don't worry."
His voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable power.
"I've been itching to do something, so I thought I'd take a trip to the mountains."
Di Ruyan grabbed Xu Feng's arm: "Master's wife knows that your strength is now comparable to that of a Limit Lord."
But be very careful. If you need someone to distract the enemy, just contact me.
Xu Feng nodded, then turned and looked through the window of the command post, where he could see the dilapidated city walls outside.
"Master's wife, before you leave, take me to see the current base commander. I need to know the latest battlefield situation and enemy deployments."
Xu Feng said softly.
"Okay! Come with me!"
Di Ruyan perked up and immediately led Xu Feng toward the base command room.
In the Qinling Mountains.
Beside an old, cold pool, Jin Yuyi clasped his hands in a salute: "Jin Yuyi of the Golden Wing Clan requests an audience with Brother Jiao."
"boom!"
next moment.
A splash suddenly erupted from the deep pool, and a crimson figure stood silently by the water's edge, staring in shock at the newcomer: "Are you Jin Yuyi, the Southern King of the Golden-Winged Clan?"
"It's been two months since we last met, Brother Jiao, you don't recognize me anymore?"
Jin Yuyi said with a smile.
Jiao Lin frowned at Jin Yuyi, and asked in surprise, "You risked half your life over in Kunlun?"
Jin Yuyi clasped his hands in a fist and smiled, seemingly unconcerned: "For the sake of the demon race, it is my duty!"
Jiao Lin shook his head slightly, then conjured two stone chairs with a wave of his hand: "Brother Jin is very righteous. I can't do what he does, but I admire him very much. Please sit down."
Jiao Lin sighed and asked, "I wonder what brings Brother Jin here today?"
"Our clan is currently embroiled in a fierce war with the human race, and I'm afraid we don't have much time to help Brother Jin avenge our people."
"I'm not here to ask Brother Jiao to help me take revenge, but to give you a gift."
Jin Yuyi smiled faintly.
"A gift?" Jiao Lin asked in surprise.
Jin Yuyi suddenly lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "Brother Jiao, have you ever heard that the flesh and brains of a human spiritualist can help our race break through the Star God realm and overcome the bottleneck of life?"
Jiao Lin raised an eyebrow: "That's just a rumor."
"Rumors?" Jin Yuyi suddenly laughed.
next moment.
His aura surged, revealing a trace of the Star God Realm!
"You!" Jiao Lin suddenly stood up, looking at Jin Yuyi in shock.
"I once ate a human mind master, but unfortunately that person was too weak, only a low-level lord."
Even so, it has led me to where I am today.
I know that Brother Jiao has been stuck at this realm for nearly five hundred years.
However, among the human race, there is currently a mentalist active in this realm, and he belongs to the Wumeng Mountain region of the Great Xia human race.
If Brother Jiao could... cough cough, at that time...
'
Upon hearing this, a smile immediately flashed in Jiao Lin's eyes: "I understand, Brother Jin, you're trying to use someone else to do your dirty work?"
Jin Yuyi made no attempt to conceal her intentions, and smiled faintly, "Why not? It's a win-win situation."
