Chapter 146: Exposure!

"Bang."

Zhang Deyun's long sword shattered, and Qin Feng struck him squarely in the chest with a halberd, sending him flying backward through the air.

"Bang."
"Bang."
"Bang."

Moving with lightning speed, Qin Feng landed three consecutive halberd strikes on Zhang Deyun's chest, directly shattering his internal organs and ruthlessly obliterating him.

"Bang."

Zhang Deyun's body slumped powerlessly to the ground, his expression frozen in deep, lingering resentment.

"Run!"
"Fall back quickly!"

By the time Leng Yunfeng, Chang Hai, and Li Zhenghong arrived, they witnessed the blazing sun phenomenon surging behind Qin Feng, crowned by the phantom silhouettes of six hundred soaring pythons, and saw him fiercely cut down Zhang Deyun.

Panic gripped the hearts of Leng Yunfeng, Chang Hai, and Li Zhenghong. Fear etched across their faces, they immediately retreated and fled.

The opponent's strength far surpassed theirs!

"Oh?"

Sensing the presence of Leng Yunfeng, Chang Hai, and Li Zhenghong, Qin Feng gripped his painted Halberd of Heavenly Guidance and swiftly pursued them.

"Where do you think you're going!"

With an angry roar, Qin Feng swung the painted halberd in his palm forward, unleashing a vast, majestic wave of light that crashed toward Leng Yunfeng, Chang Hai, and Li Zhenghong.

"Bang."
"Bang."
"Bang."

Pushing their speed to the absolute limit, Leng Yunfeng, Chang Hai, and Li Zhenghong felt the violent incoming force from behind.

Glancing back from the corners of their eyes, their faces turned pale as the sheer power of the incoming attack struck terror into their hearts, prompting them to dodge desperately.

"Boom!"

Chang Hai possessed the weakest cultivation base. A fraction of a second too slow in his reaction and evasion, he was directly struck by the attack.

"Puff."

Chang Hai was blasted backward through the air, a fountain of blood erupting from his mouth.

"It's you!"

Recognizing Leng Yunfeng's face, old hatred welled up in Qin Feng's heart, and he charged fiercely toward him.

"Roar."
"Roar."

The phantom pythons in the void echoed Qin Feng's battle cries, unleashing deafening roars that shook the heavens and the earth.

"Bang."

With a grave expression, Leng Yunfeng channeled a torrent of true qi through his body, swinging his long blade to parry the blow.

"Boom!"

Although Leng Yunfeng possessed extraordinary combat prowess, he was still sent flying under the violent impact of Qin Feng's six-hundred-python strength.

"Die!"

Stamping his foot hard against the ground, Qin Feng channeled the true qi surging within his dantian, unleashing monstrous battle strength as he charged at Leng Yunfeng once more.

"Join forces!"

Seeing Chang Hai and Leng Yunfeng blasted away by Qin Feng, Li Zhenghong let out a terrified roar.

"He possesses the strength of six hundred pythons, but if the three of us join forces, we still have a chance of winning!"
"Attack!"

With a furious shout, Li Zhenghong erupted with full combat power and charged at Qin Feng.

"Right, destroy him!"

With a severed left arm and his weapon gripped in his right hand, Chang Hai lunged toward Qin Feng.

"Defeated foes!"
"Die!"

Burying the fear of Qin Feng deep within his heart, Leng Yunfeng roared and brought his long blade down in a rapid slash.

"Come on!"
"Let's fight!"

Hot blood surged within Qin Feng, his fighting spirit soaring to the heavens. Brandishing the painted halberd with sweeping, expansive motions, he slaughtered his way toward Leng Yunfeng, Chang Hai, and Li Zhenghong.

Leng Yunfeng, Chang Hai, and Li Zhenghong were all at the early stage of the Yuanwu Realm with extraordinary strength. The combat power they unleashed when fighting together was formidable, rivaling even the mid-Yuanwu Realm.

"Bang!"

Leng Yunfeng landed a slash on Qin Feng's left shoulder. Wearing a ferocious grin, Qin Feng trapped the blade against his shoulder with muscle contraction and drove a fist straight into Leng Yunfeng's chest.

"Puff!"

Leng Yunfeng's chest caved inward, his heart instantly pulverized. His body fell limply to the ground.

"Boom!"
"Boom!"

The combined attacks of Chang Hai and Li Zhenghong struck Qin Feng, carving a chunk of flesh right off his back.

"Boom!"

Overwhelmed by the searing pain, Qin Feng wore a ferocious expression as he swung the painted halberd wildly, every strike carrying monstrous force.

"Madman!"

Just as Chang Hai landed a blow on Qin Feng's chest, Qin Feng's counterattack pierced straight through Chang Hai's torso, shredding half his heart and causing him to vomit a mouthful of blood.

Terror gripped him. Qin Feng's style of combat made him understand what a reckless, life-for-a-life approach truly meant.

"Puff."

Chang Hai was blasted backward, crashing heavily onto the ground. Struggling to get back up, his face flushed crimson before his body slumped powerlessly, his life force rapidly fading away.

"Run!"

Seeing Chang Hai and Leng Yunfeng slain, Li Zhenghong was consumed by terror, fear, and trembling. Daring not to fight any longer, he turned to flee.

"Boom!"

With his mind trembling and his movements hesitant, Li Zhenghong was struck squarely in the head by Qin Feng's halberd, his life force instantly extinguished.

"Three Yuanwu Realm martial artists managed to put me in such a sorry state!"

After completely slaying Chang Hai, Li Zhenghong, and Leng Yunfeng, Qin Feng let out a long breath, murmuring softly as he looked at the various cuts and wounds covering his body.

If anyone were to know Qin Feng's thoughts, they would undoubtedly be struck dumb with shock—he had crossed a major realm with his Qiwu Realm cultivation to slaughter three Yuanwu Realm powerhouses, yet he was still dissatisfied.

"Whoosh!"

Quickly looting the belongings of Leng Yunfeng, Chang Hai, Li Zhenghong, and Zhang Deyun without pausing to inspect them closely, Qin Feng vanished into the distance.

The commotion from his battle with Zhang Deyun, Leng Yunfeng, Chang Hai, and Li Zhenghong had been quite substantial, inevitably alerting the surrounding area and causing many martial artists to move away.

"Whoosh!"

Qin Feng sped swiftly through the Dark Moon Forest. A dull pain radiated from his back as his terrifying physical recovery ability went to work, rapidly healing his wounds.

By the time the battle ended, his bleeding had already stopped, and the smaller wounds were vanishing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

...

"It seems Leng Yunfeng discovered the target's tracks!"

With an ugly and gloomy expression, Ling Feng stared down at Leng Yunfeng's corpse, raging fires burning within his eyes.

"To be able to slay Zhang Deyun, Leng Yunfeng, Chang Hai, and Li Zhenghong, is the target really just an Imperial-grade martial artist?"

Hou千里 frowned and spoke in a deep voice.

"We cannot rule out the possibility that the target has accomplices!"
"Another possibility is that the target is a peerless prodigy akin to a Holy Son, capable of fighting across realms!"

Ling Feng said in a deep voice.

"Hear my orders!"
"Do not act rashly if you encounter strange martial artists; release a signal immediately!"

After a moment of contemplation, Ling Feng spoke gravely.

No matter who the target was, he had to die!

"Understood!"
"Understood, Senior Brother."

Hou Qianli, Tao Yunzhou, and Chen Haozhou stood respectfully to the side and acknowledged the order.

Chen Chao, Tao Yun, Zhou Yuanwang, and other martial artists who were at odds with Ling Feng stood nearby. Hearing Ling Feng's command, they offered no rebuttal.

"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"

Hou Qianli, Tao Yunzhou, Chen Haozhou, Chen Chao, Tao Yun, and Zhou Yuanwang moved in groups to search the surrounding area for Qin Feng's figure.

"Whoosh!"

After burying Leng Yunfeng's body, Ling Feng soared into the air, scanning his gaze in all directions to search for the route Qin Feng had taken.

"Swish!"

Hou Qianli, Tao Yunzhou, Chen Haozhou, Chen Chao, and Ling Feng scoured the area for traces of Qin Feng, but came up empty-handed.

Suddenly, off to the western side of the sky, an aura soared into the air, emitting a dazzling glare.

"Whoosh!"
"Let's go!"
"He's appeared!"

Spotting the bright light, Ling Feng, Hou Qianli, Tao Yunzhou, Chen Haozhou, Chen Chao, and the others lit up with excitement and flew rapidly toward the source.
