Chapter 401: Chapter 401: Shi Feng’s Arch-Enemies

After the young man wielding the Black Iron Greatsword showed a fierce look on his face, it wasn’t long before he calmed down and said to Long Xin, who had been pierced by the great sword, "Your martial arts talent is quite good, you could even be considered a worthy opponent. However, due to your foolishness, daring to be my enemy, today, you are destined to die!"

"Ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha!" Hearing the words of the young man with the great sword, not only did Long Xin not show any fear, he burst into a wild laughter instead, "Ha ha, Shi Feng, you dare! You dare commit regicide! I am the Heaven’s Chosen One, the one destined by heavenly will. If you dare kill me, you will surely suffer heavenly retribution, ha ha, ha ha ha ha!"

At this moment, Long Xin’s maniacal laughter seemed to indicate that he had fallen into delirium, as if he had gone mad.

Right now, Long Xin’s golden robe was tattered and torn, his long hair a disheveled mess, he was in complete disarray, his body smeared with blood. Especially the front of his body that the great sword had pierced, it was dyed a large swath crimson red. His pitiful appearance now was no different from that of a madman or beggar.

Looking at Long Xin, who was acting like a madman, the young man with the great sword furrowed his brows deeply, showing an expression full of displeasure, and coldly said, "Turns out it’s a madman, what a waste of my breath, Die!"

As he uttered the final word "Die," the Black Iron Greatsword in the young man’s hand quaked, and under the shaking force, Long Xin, who was still laughing, suddenly exploded. His flesh burst apart, turning into chunks of meat, blood, and some unidentifiable fluids that sprayed down.

The great sword in the young man’s hand swept once through the void, and those scattered remains were immediately swept into nothingness.

The fifth son of the former Emperor of the Yunlai Empire, one of the Five Emperors, the once top-ranked genius of the youth battle standings, Prince Xin Long Xin, had fallen!

After his death, not even a single hair was left behind!

"Cough cough... Cough cough..." After killing Long Xin, the young man with the Black Iron Greatsword suddenly began to cough violently. He wiped his mouth with his left hand, and his palm was filled with black blood.

He had slain Long Xin, his body charred black by the flames, not only cooked on the outside, but also having sustained certain internal injuries from executing his deadly moves.

However, the young man with the great sword didn’t care too much. He looked down at the valley filled with surging Demonic Qi. Then his figure moved quickly, diving down towards the valley.

"Boom rumble rumble!" Violent tremors echoed from within the valley, and after a long while, a dark silhouette abruptly shot up from the valley. The left hand of the young man, which had previously been empty and severed by Shi Feng, was now replaced by a black Demon Hand that was as dark as a demon, emitting an overwhelming Demonic Qi.

"Ha ha! Ha ha ha ha!" Looking at his new hand, the young man with the great sword laughed loudly, "Power! I feel a mysterious and formidable power, ha ha, ha ha ha ha! Shi Feng!"

When he mentioned this name again, the joyous expression on the young man with the great sword’s face suddenly paused, turning into a hideous look of anger, "The next time we meet, I will surely kill you! I will flay you and pull out your sinews!"

...

"Shi Feng! Ah!"

Atop a mountain peak, a howl echoed across the heavens.

A junior general, strikingly handsome, his long hair flying wildly, clad in silver battle armor, draped in a silver cape, holding a Silver Spear and looking imposing, pointed the spear straight at the sky, issuing an angry howl.

A strong burst of silver light suddenly erupted from the body of the silver-armored young general, shooting straight into the sky!

"You fiend who killed my father, killed my mother, killed my younger brother, massacred everyone in my Southern King Mansion, I will make you pay with your blood! Ah!"

Shi Xuan returned to the Southern King Mansion, entered it, and saw what had once been a bustling royal residence, now desolate and quiet.

After making inquiries, Shi Feng found out that the Southern King Mansion had been ransacked by the military. The King of the South had been charged with treason, and his entire household was executed, including even the Holy Emperor’s elder sister, the wife of Shi Jintian, the mother of Shi Xuan—the Eldest Princess Long Yan—had been forced to commit suicide by poison.

Actually, after he had executed Shi Jintian on that day, Shi Feng hadn’t thought too much about it. All the follow-up tasks had always been taken care of by Long Chen.

Though Long Yan was Long Chen’s sister, they were only half-siblings, and Long Chen held no affection for her.

Moreover, during the struggle for the throne years ago, Eldest Princess Long Yan and the Third Prince Long Ao were born of the same mother, and Long Yan had always supported her full brother.

Once when Long Yan visited the late Emperor Long Ao, Long Chen happened to be present too. At that time, Long Yan had mocked and ridiculed Long Chen in front of Long Ao. Even years later, Long Chen kept this incident in his heart.

After ascending the throne, Long Chen purged his enemies. The Southern King Mansion—harboring a deep grudge against Shi Feng—was naturally at the top of the list. On the day he was enthroned, he had dispatched the Northwest Prince, Elder Changqing, to lead troops to the Southern King Mansion to execute every last member of their household.

This included Eldest Princess Long Yan and her young son, the brother of Shi Xuan, the eight-year-old Shi Le.

"Ah! Kill! Kill! Kill!"

"Kill!"

Shi Xuan, with his silver spear in hand, danced wildly. Brilliant and powerful rays of silver light kept bursting forth from him. He needed to become stronger! He had to surpass Shi Feng, and he must personally execute Shi Feng, to avenge his father, his mother, his brother, and the entire Southern King Mansion!

For the sake of killing Shi Feng, he must grow stronger, he must grow stronger! Because, after descending the mountain, he had also heard that Shi Feng had executed a Four-star Martial Venerable Realm expert. How powerful this villain had become!

...

In the Tianheng Continent, there was a secret place with no other colors to be seen—blue was the dominant color here, with blue flames reaching up to the heavens, burning fiercely.

In the midst of the fiercely hot blue flames, a white-clad figure stood proudly, revealing the young and handsome face of a youth.

In the palm of the right hand of the white-clothed youth, a green-blue fierce flame was jumping continuously.

In his left hand, another flame, a blue one that did not pale in comparison to the green-blue fierce flame, was also dancing incessantly.

"Zhong, the time is now!" A voice, hoarse with age, suddenly emanated from the Jade Scroll worn on the chest of the white-clothed youth.

At the shout, the white-clothed youth brought his right and left hands together, and the two fierce flames collided violently.

"Boom!" A thunderous explosion sounded, and a violent torrent of energy erupted, with the white-clothed youth at its center, as if a vortex of green and blue flames had formed around him. The surrounding blue flames spun violently, spreading the spinning vortex of flames rapidly in all directions, forming a huge fiery maelstrom several dozen meters in radius.

Time passed, and the fiery maelstrom gradually shrank towards the center. As the vortex contracted, the once fiercely burning blue flames in its wake had disappeared without a trace.

No one knew how much time had passed, but eventually, the green-blue fiery vortex shrank to the very center and vanished. The blue flames in that area had completely disappeared, revealing the white figure once again. In his right palm, a green-blue flame was slowly pulsing.

"Success! Successfully merged!" Looking at the green-blue fierce flame in his palm, which had been fused using a secret technique, the white-clothed youth Yang Zhong, full of delight and satisfaction, laughed triumphantly.
