Chapter 1323: First in History

Zheng Fei was not truly unafraid of pain, nor ignorant of death.'Twas but the might of his Malice Retribution divine ability that had for so long shielded himfrom foes of such caliber.Almost all who learned of his Malice Retribution would evade him if they could, flee if they might.Whereupon lay one who, upon a single disagreement, would truly seek mutual destruction?The mutual destruction he had witnessed was naught but madness born of despair at the end of the road.None, whilst opportunity still remained, would willingly trade their life for another's.Thus, when his left leg was severed, he still roared with laughter.When his abdomen was pierced, he loosened the restraints of his blade, subconsciously intending to grant Jiang Wang a chance to escape.Yet as Jiang Wang's long sword continued to cut, his laughter died!Yan Zi and Li Shou, separated by the battlefield, likewise felt a chilling dread,yet for a time, assistance was utterly beyond their reach.They had retreated too far before!Encircled by palm wind and blade radiance, Jiang Wang and Zheng Fei were now in such close proximity.They stood almost face to face, their four eyes locked.In Zheng Fei's eyes, Jiang Wang saw confusion and agony. In Jiang Wang's eyes, Zheng Fei saw only tranquility.A tranquility as deep and still as flowing water!All suffering, struggle, and contemplation were hidden deep beneath the surface.This young man, once he had made a decision, would never turn back.Zheng Fei's eyes widened, and he stretched out a large hand, gripping Jiang Wang's shoulder,desiring to halt this person's madness.Yet Jiang Wang's sword-holding hand exerted force once more!Blood couldn't help but spill from Jiang Wang's own lips,and half of Zheng Fei's face was smeared with blood.And sharp sword qi surged madly within Zheng Fei's body,swift as lightning, converging into sword forms,directly piercing his Five Mansions Sea, a sword thrusting towards the Heaven and Earth Isolated Isle!Rumbling!Terrifying sword qi howled into a whirlwind within the Five Mansions Sea,directly colliding with Zheng Fei's Heaven and Earth Isolated Isle.The Five Mansions Sea churned with sudden tempest, unable to cease for a time!"I am about to die!" Zheng Fei, his Dao essence momentarily in chaos, cried out.Jiang Wang had even plunged his sword into his Five Mansions Sea,evidently intending to slay him there.Did this person not know that under the counterattack of the Malice Retribution divine ability,even if he did not die, he would be severely wounded?There were still two other Great Demonic Men present; what difference was there between severe injury and death?He was truly mad!But what would become of Jiang Wang after, Zheng Fei could not ponder for a moment.He only thought... he seemed to be dying right now!Hence, his voice carried a hint of a sob.'Twas the fear of danger in a child.He loved to play, he did not want to die.Jiang Wang's face remained expressionless.Performing deeds that seemed utterly insane,his heart, however, was filled with calm and clear calculation.These people were not wrong; he would naturally not perish alongside Zheng Fei.Who was Zheng Fei? How could he be worthy of Jiang Wang's shared demise!The wickedness of the Demonic Men was a truth, and their might was also a truth.Even if his stance appeared fierce and his actions decisive,it was merely the price he had to pay to overcome these powerful foes.Fighting until this point, he had already sensed that the Malice Retribution divine ability's counterattack had two manifestations.Firstly, it occurred at the corresponding location.Secondly, the damage of the counterattack corresponded to the damage received,but the final damage dealt also depended on the recipient's own defenses.Based on the previous probes, in this battle, the conditions for Zheng Fei's Malice Retribution divine ability had not been fully met.The counterattack damage of the Malice Retribution was lower than the damage he inflicted upon Zheng Fei.But with the "Flesh Armor" present, Zheng Fei's physical defense was astounding,and in the end, the damage suffered by both parties might have been equal.That is to say, even if the conditions for the Malice Retribution divine ability were not fully met,killing Zheng Fei could very likely kill himself simultaneously.Exchanging a severed leg for one of Zheng Fei's legs was a consideration for maximizing combat efficiency,equivalent to using one leg to exchange for two of Li Shou and Zheng Fei's legs...It was also another probe of the Malice Retribution, gaining "understanding" of this divine ability.Having ascertained that he had grasped the scope and range of the Malice Retribution's counterattack,he decisively thrust his sword through the abdomen!Penetrating the abdomen was not the objective, nor was escaping Zheng Fei's restraint the objective,because if Zheng Fei could lock him down with Li Shou's help this time,he could do so again next time, and then he might not have another chance to fight desperately.His objective was Zheng Fei's Heaven and Earth Isolated Isle!This was a flash of inspiration in his combat choices.He believed that no part of his physical body could be as tough as Zheng Fei's, protected by the Flesh Armor.But within the system of cultivators, his Heaven and Earth Isolated Isle was exceptionally stable.This was thanks to his powerful Heaven and Earth Gate and the origin enhancement obtained in the Senhai Origin World.As the feedback from Heaven and Earth after a cultivator pushed open the Heaven and Earth Gate,the Heaven and Earth Isolated Isle suppressed the Five Mansions Sea,supporting the Soaring Dragon Dao Meridian, its importance beyond doubt.Zheng Fei was already in the Outer Building realm, his Dao Meridian's Soaring Dragon had already swam into the Star Hidden Sea,but the suppressing effect of the Heaven and Earth Isolated Isle on the Five Mansions Sea still existed.At the same time, Jiang Wang's five Inner Mansions all had divine ability seeds,illuminated by the light of five divine abilities,his Five Mansions Sea was also much calmer than Zheng Fei's.Although the Cloud Peak Immortal Palace was more dilapidated than before,it could also help suppress the Five Mansions Sea.Based on these considerations, he chose to direct his sword qi straight into the Five Mansions Sea!The goal was to cause Zheng Fei's Heaven and Earth Isolated Isle to collapse, his Five Mansions Sea to waver,to shatter his courage, while preserving his own combat strength to the greatest extent.But to outsiders, this series of actions seemed as if he was truly resolute,intending to perish with Zheng Fei.Having already entered the Five Mansions Sea, attacking the Heaven and Earth Isolated Isle,how could his killing intent be any more intense?!Yan Zi was struck by extreme horror, feeling as if she had encountered a complete madman.The Demonic Men were ruthless with the lives of others; this person was ruthless with his own life.She could not imagine how she would cope if she were in Zheng Fei's state.And Li Lao Si, his heart burning with anxiety, made a more direct choice.This fellow, who all day long was like an echo, only knew to follow behind Zheng Fei saying "Exactly, exactly".This fellow, who was extraordinarily vigilant in battle and always maintained a sufficient distance from Jiang Wang.Seeing Zheng Fei trembling with fear under Jiang Wang's sword, his eyes instantly turned red.In his haste, unable to get close to the battle, he directly thrust a claw with his backhand,piercing his own chest, actually grasping the beating heart."It hurts, Third Brother!"He cried out thus, and with a squeeze, burst this heart!Jiang Wang, who was currently ravaging Zheng Fei's Heaven and Earth Isolated Isle,trembled all over, and immediately spat out a mouthful of fresh blood onto Zheng Fei's face.He had indeed not expected Li Shou to have such deep feelings for Zheng Fei.Who could have imagined that these two wicked and deranged individualswould actually have "feelings" for each other?These two individuals, utterly devoid of humanity,actually displayed a facet of humanity.Just now, his heart had truly shattered!It was entirely by forcibly gathering his Dao essence that he could barely maintain the circulation of blood...If not treated in time, it would quickly collapse.The Mutual Destruction divine ability likewise did not satisfy all the conditions for release;the counterattack magnitude was greatly mismatched.Hence, Jiang Wang was thus injured; the injuries Li Shou suffered himself would only be more severe!Li Shou had come to save Zheng Fei with the determination to die!Jiang Wang shoved away Zheng Fei, whose Five Mansions Sea was still violently churning,and seized the opportunity to withdraw his long sword,dragging a broken leg, scattering a trail of fresh blood,stepping on Qingyun and pouncing towards Li Shou.Li Shou's feelings for Zheng Fei were so deep; he decided to fulfill them!Perhaps some could see a glimmer of humanity in Li Shou, but Jiang Wang saw opportunity.Killing Zheng Fei was merely a pretense; he only needed to temporarily incapacitate Zheng Fei.And in this interval, he would seek an opportunity to fight the ever-changing Yan Zi.And Li Shou's desperate rescue of Zheng Fei,while severely wounding him, also caused the battle situation to evolve further.He decisively made his choice.This counterattack was too sudden, too resolute.So fast that the observing Lin Xian couldn't even react.Yan Zi, in the midst of the battle, couldn't catch up!One moment he was fiercely threatening to perish with Zheng Fei,his sword piercing Zheng Fei's abdomen,the next he decisively pushed Zheng Fei away and counterattacked Li Shou!His heart was shattered, blood still spilled from his mouth, he had lost a leg...Yet flying swiftly through the air, he was as free as a blue bird!Both free and self.And Li Shou, who had just personally crushed his own heart,and was curled up in agony,only then became aware of the rushing wind,and quickly leapt up—Already a long sword had pierced down from his spirit realm,penetrating without resistance all the way through!Boom! Boom!Star buildings shattered, Five Mansions collapsed, the Tongtian Palace crumbled in an instant like sand!The Fourth Demonic Man, the Flesh-Shredding Demonic Man,died so easily in a manner no one had expected!And Jiang Wang himself suddenly tumbled down,like a bird with broken wings, falling towards the ground.A sharp pain struck from his spirit realm, surging straight down his spine,spreading throughout his body, making him want to cry out, yet he held back fiercely.Only then did he remember that Zheng Fei and Li Shou had long since consumed the Blood of Balance.Now it seemed, their divine abilities already had a certain degree of interconnectedness,and Li Shou also possessed some of the effects of the Malice Retribution divine ability.But the fortunate blessing amidst the misfortune was...He had once, with a moment of kindness, saved the sole bloodline of the Feng family,preventing Zheng Fei and Li Shou's Blood of Balance from being completely perfected.The Malice Retribution effects "balanced" within Li Shou's body,ultimately could not compare to genuine Malice Retribution.As he was about to hit the ground, Jiang Wang halted.At a distance of no more than three feet from the ground, he suddenly flipped up,his gaze calm, looking directly at Yan Zi, who was rushing towards him!"Hoo, hoo!"Jiang Wang was breathing heavily.His body was covered in wounds, his frame weakened, his face stained with blood.He knew not when his Swordsman Immortal state had dissipated,perhaps when he was in close proximity to Zheng Fei, or when his sword pierced Li Shou's spirit realm?He looked so weak that he could be easily killed by anyone...As if a single blade of grass could knock him down, a gust of wind could send him into eternal sleep.But that single gaze of his forced the Unmasking Demonic Man to halt!As if in a trance, Yan Zi only then realized that the heavily breathing, injured person before her...Was not some frail and delicate youth.But a true powerhouse who had sword-slaughtered Huan Tao and Li Shou, two Great Demonic Men!Two of the four Great Demonic Men were gone. Could she and the Ten Thousand Evils Demonic Man still kill this person?Yan Zi hovered in the air, and couldn't help but look at Zheng Fei.The obese fat man was standing on the ground.His Heaven and Earth Isolated Isle was almost shattered by a sword strike,his Five Mansions Sea was still violently churning.After being pushed away by Jiang Wang's palm, he fell back to the ground,shaking for a while before stabilizing.At this moment, he was staring blankly at Li Shou.Or rather, at Li Shou's corpse.The fellow who followed him around all day,echoing his every word, obeying him implicitly, rarely talking back...Li Shou, who was both a follower and an echo, had just died.Without even leaving a single dying word.When he shattered his heart to save Zheng Fei, that cry of "It hurts, Third Brother!"had actually been his last words in life.Never to speak again.To save Zheng Fei, he launched Mutual Destruction in a suicidal manner,stopping Jiang Wang.This directly led to his weakening, thus giving Jiang Wang the opportunity for a penetrating sword strike.This thin man, who had never had much opinion,showed his resolve at this moment.Zheng Fei opened his mouth, as if to say something, but not a single word came out.Few knew that Li Shou was truly his younger brother.Not some ranking among the Demonic Men like Zheng Lao San and Li Lao Si,but a genuine blood relation.They were born of the same mother, their blood connected.Their father, in his early years, was a scholar, but he was not good at reading,and was expelled after a few years. He went into business,but lost money in everything he did. Later, he became addicted to gamblingand lost his family fortune.He spent every day at the gambling table, and when he got off the gambling table,he immersed himself in wine jars.Their mother also often abandoned them and had adulterous affairs outside.Their father's family had strong clan power in the area.After their mother's affair was exposed, her lover was drowned in a pig cage.Because he and Li Shou were still young and needed care, their mother was spared.The clan needed manpower, and their father also spoke of forgiveness.But their father's forgiveness seemed more like keeping a laborer who could provide gambling money.From then on, he abused his wife and children daily.With the slightest dissatisfaction, he would punch and kick.Beating "" and beating "bastards"—he suspected Li Shou was the lover's seed.His mother, unable to bear the torment, made breakfast for her brothers and sisters one morningand then jumped into the river.Zheng Fei still remembered that morning, they ate braised pork,it was as wonderful as celebrating the New Year. His mother saidthat when they grew up, they should earn more money so they could eat braised pork every day.After going out, when they returned, she was already wrapped in a straw mat.The young boy did not understand the meaning of death.It was just that from then on, the two brothers lived with their father.Their mother's death was like a stone falling into water,stirring up ripples for a moment, but soon returning to its original state,nothing changed.Their father did not change, instead he became even worse.Sometimes when he remembered, he would bring back two steamed buns.When he didn't remember, he would let them go hungry.He often beat the young Li Shou until he was covered in wounds.He always went to the neighbors' houses to beg for food,later, when the neighbors saw them, they would close the door.He didn't know whose "seed" Li Shou was, he only knew Li Shou was his younger brother.He didn't dare to stop his violent father, he only knew that when his brother was being beaten,he would rush forward and block with his body."Beat me, beat me, father beat me! I'm not afraid of pain. I'm really not afraid, hahahaha!"He always laughed like this. He remembered that his father used to love to see him laugh,saying he was plump and cute, and when he laughed, he looked like a steamed bun.But his father...Truly beat both children together.With fists, with shoe soles, with sticks...This one was an unfilial son, that one was a bastard.They were all troublesome children left behind by that slut.Otherwise, with his natural talent, why would he be drunk in a wine jar,how could he have such bad luck.Until he was nine years old...He smiled and stabbed his father's throat, and that pair of scissors,was handed to him by his brother.They fled that place.For many years after, he could never forget his father's eyes at that time.Was it hatred, pain, malice, or some other demonic thing.Always staring at him.He was not afraid.He was not afraid of pain, not afraid of death, not afraid of his father, not afraid of anything.He still took his father's surname, Zheng, while his brother took his mother's surname, Li.How many years had it been?How many years had this hanger-on been by his side?They had walked a long way together, done many things, played for so long...Zheng Fei did not know what he was feeling at this moment.He only felt that this was really not fun.Too not fun!This was the most uncomfortable game he had ever played in his life.He did not notice Yan Zi's gaze, he could not notice.He looked at Li Shou, whose life force was gone, and still felt it was a joke."Li Lao Si, are you... hehe... playing dead?""Are you playing dead? Why don't you get closer and see for yourself?" Jiang Wang's voice sounded.The voice was calm, thus it appeared more real, more powerful.He was speaking the truth.Only then did Zheng Fei turn his head and look at Jiang Wang, who was standing not far in front of Li Shou.Tears immediately rolled down."I'm going to eat you!"He said such terrifying words in the tone of a child throwing a tantrum.Holding his chopping knife, he charged like a wall of flesh.The air around him distorted, sizzling sounds jumped,a terrifying power was boiling.He was truly crying very sadly, very painfully, his nose and eyes were contorted into a ball.And Jiang Wang, expressionless, raised his sword to meet him.There was not a hint of sympathy in his heart.He didn't care how deep the feelings between Zheng Fei and Li Shou were,he didn't care what they thought, just as Zheng Fei and Li Shouhad never cared about the feelings of others.He only knew that the purest evil should die most completely.He would not be lenient, would not falter.Life and death were on a single line; he wanted to send these Demonic Men to the side of death!Blades cried, swords howled, in the valley of chaotic rocks,it seemed like clash of arms, an army of thousands charging.Jiang Wang's sword was like autumn water and bright moon,Zheng Fei's blade was a great river.Blade and sword collided, emitting the most violent sound.Jiang Wang was sent flying, man and sword!In mid-air, he spat out another mouthful of fresh blood.His heart was already shattered, it was entirely by virtue of a cultivator's physique,temporarily suppressed by the Tongtian Palace, forcibly maintaining blood circulation with Dao essence.Facing Zheng Fei with his combat power fully unleashed, he could not stop him at all.In this direct collision, he was even sent flying entirely.Under the suppression of immense force, his muscles were slightly trembling.It was an expression of pain, and also a way to disperse pressure.Bits of strength flowed back, Jiang Wang, in the midst of the pain,continuously confirmed his physical state.Five Mansions Sea, Tongtian Palace, muscles and bones...Up to now, except for the Fifth Inner Mansion which was still being explored,the rooms opened inwards by the other four Inner Mansions were all numbered three thousand.Observing oneself, like knowing the universe,Although the mysteries of the human body require a lifetime to explore,compared to cultivators of the same realm, Jiang Wang could confidently say—he had gained much.Only by understanding Zheng Fei, while also having such a clear awareness and judgment of himself,did he dare to withstand the counterattack of the Malice Retribution divine ability,a sword piercing the abdomen, a sword striking the Heaven and Earth Isolated Isle.At this moment when he was split open by a blade, he floated in the air like a leaf separated from a branch,yet his hand had already pulled back his long sword.His still-flying body suddenly stopped in mid-air,and he flipped around with the momentum.He was like a dragon turning, a sword ascending a bright moon,sword qi exploded out, as fierce as awakening lovesickness.With a single move of the Lovesickness Sword Form, he directly slashed towards Yan Zi!Yan Zi, who had been waiting for an opportunity, was startled,her prepared Dao technique dissipated for a moment,her figure swayed and scattered into afterimages, like flowing wind dispersing...utterly devoid of the courage to fight back.Fear was constantly deepening.Before entering the valley, Jiang Wang's single sword strike that repelled them,the Toppling Mountain Sword, had already filled her with terror.And from the start of the battle until now, she, the notorious Unmasking Demonic Man,had been chased and driven by Jiang Wang's sword strikes, one after another,like driving cattle and sheep, the brand of fear had long been imprinted.She could fully sense Jiang Wang's resolute killing intent,and this killing intent had been most resolutely verified by the deaths of Huan Tao and Li Shou.Those dangerous premonitions were by no means false; her evasion was not cowardice.Jiang Wang truly wanted to kill her, and truly had the ability to kill her!She was merely seeking an opportunity.An opportunity to surround and kill, an opportunity to ambush and kill,an opportunity to delay, or even an opportunity to escape.Just like now, she could only retreat.Jiang Wang had long anticipated the result.His long sword simply lifted, a beautiful bright moon rose here,and set there, naturally shifting trajectory,colliding with Zheng Fei once more.Considering only combat strength, Zheng Fei, who possessed Malice Retribution and was significantly injured,should have been dealt with last.Yan Zi, whose combat strength was relatively intact, should have been prioritized.But in Jiang Wang's eyes, this infamous Unmasking Demonic Man,in this battle, was merely a fearful weakling.Possessing powerful divine abilities, but lacking a strong will.Or rather, the defense line of her will had already been breached.Compared to Ten Thousand Evils, Flesh-Shredding, and Head-Chopping,she, the Unmasking Demonic Man, was indeed the one who cherished her life the most.She had abundant treasures and exquisite movement techniques.But when paths crossed, it was "courage" that contended.For Jiang Wang, with his physical state already weakened,Zheng Fei was rather the opponent he had to prioritize dealing with.Zheng Fei was the terrifying opponent!His frontal collision with Zheng Fei was certainly not to be cut down by a single blade;the acquisition of "understanding" was what he sought.He needed to know what Zheng Fei's current state was,what changes there were in Zheng Fei's current strength, speed, and divine abilities.For this, he did not hesitate to take risks.At this time, Zheng Fei's eyes were filled with bloody intent, his face ferocious.The fat on his body gradually became stained with blood,his aura was tyrannical and疯疯癫狂, he had probably entered some fierce state.Holding his knife and slashing at Jiang Wang,his posture was just like a butcher cutting pig bones, both ruthless and accurate.Killing was merely a game, a too simple, too natural thing.With this strike, he only wanted to find joy again.He didn't care about anyone else; he only wanted to know if he himself was happy!Between life and death, he had no other request.This was his Dao!Achieving the Outer Building realm through "joy".In the distant starry sky, the light of the four Holy Buildingsflowed down into the valley of chaotic rocks, bathing Zheng Fei's body.The Fury Secret Art dissolved silently, the Five Senses Hell was directly broken by the starlight.This blade followed the Dao, not allowing Jiang Wang to escape.Jiang Wang indeed had no intention of escaping.He even charged forward, meeting it head-on.His gaze was so calm, as if he was about to go to his death hand in hand with Zheng Fei.When the blade edge reached his face, he merely tilted his head!The blade edge brushed past his cheek and directly cut off his right ear.Jiang Wang seemed completely unaware of the pain.As he tilted his head, he had already moved forward,crashing into Zheng Fei's armspan with extreme force,and once again, a sword pierced through his abdomen!Zheng Fei's massive body instantly stiffened!Plunging straight down to the ground!His Heaven and Earth Isolated Isle suffered a severe blow once more!One ear exchanged for a blow from the Dao path. One sword killing the Heaven and Earth Isolated Isle.Equal exchange was not Jiang Wang's combat principle,so as the Endless Longing Sword pierced through the abdomen, it was already out,electrical flashes passing through the air, sword light flickering continuously.While Zheng Fei's Five Mansions Sea was turbulent, he severed the tendons in his hands and right foot!Zheng Fei attempted to forcibly reconnect them with Dao essence,but Jiang Wang's sword qi also followed precisely, cutting and shattering that Dao essence.Zheng Fei, with his Five Mansions Sea turbulent and tendons in his limbs severed,could only collapse heavily to the ground.Under the influence of the Malice Retribution divine ability,Jiang Wang was almost pressed against him, falling with him.This was an extremely risky choice.It had been so from the very beginning.If Zheng Fei's blade had been off by just an inch,or if he had dodged a second slower,that blade would not have merely cut off his right ear,but would have directly cleaved open his forehead.What kind of confidence and courage was needed to tilt his head as he met it face on?Striking the Heaven and Earth Isolated Isle with a sword was an adventure he had already attempted once.The sword light that slashed at Zheng Fei's hands and feet was even more difficult and perilous.It was only by probing the counterattack strength of the Malice Retribution divine ability through a few exchanges,that he could control the attack to just the extent of disabling Zheng Fei's limbs,while the counterattacking force was insufficient to completely sever his own limbs,given that Zheng Fei's Flesh Armor was already broken.What kind of precise control did this require?With a slight misjudgment or inaccurate control of force,it wouldn't be just Zheng Fei lying on the ground.But even with such perfect swordsmanship, the tendons in his own limbs were actually mostly severed,only temporarily reconnected by Dao essence.In this state, although he had temporarily dealt with Zheng Fei,it was difficult to say how he would engage with the Unmasking Demonic Man.But the moment Jiang Wang landed with Zheng Fei,he used the fat on Zheng Fei's body to bounce off,suddenly looked at Yan Zi, his right eye instantly flowing with crimson-gold light,his left eye instantly a fiery red!Using the Crimson Heart divine ability, controlling the Dry Yang Eye!He intended to resolve this final Demonic Man with a soul battle fought with all his might!But Yan Zi's reaction was equally swift.Almost at the same time that Jiang Wang slashed down Zheng Fei and bounced off, turning his head,her delicate face instantly flowed away like water.Amidst the rippling light, a sharp face emerged.And the rippling light continued to expand, her entire body actually hidden within the rippling light,disappearing just like that.No lingering sound, no lingering shadow.She had actually used another piece of "treasure" from the bottom of her box,and fled in a hurry!At this moment, with Huan Tao and Li Shou both dead, and Zheng Fei also firmly suppressed,she simply did not have the courage to face Jiang Wang head-on!Her courage had long since disintegrated in Jiang Wang's repeated advances and relentless pursuits.The aura of the Unmasking Demonic Man completely disappeared in this valley of chaotic rocks.Jiang Wang, however, did not completely relax.He only temporarily retracted the Dry Yang Eye,and then casually controlled his sword qi,cutting apart Zheng Fei's Dao essence once again.Under the influence of the Malice Retribution divine ability,this sword qi also acted upon himself.Falling back onto his back.Good body control allowed him to take control of his body the moment he fell,shifting his position and sitting down beside the lying Zheng Fei.At this time, the bloody color on Zheng Fei's body had faded.Although he was still fat and obese, he was two sizes smaller.He looked at Jiang Wang with innocent, bewildered eyes."I hurt, Little Jiang, I hurt."He cried out like a child.Jiang Wang glanced at him calmly, his soul crashing into his Tongtian Palace,unfurling the Single Rider Breaking Formation Diagram,launching an attack on the soul level.In the dizziness that came from the Malice Retribution divine ability's counterattack,he once again stirred up his sword qi,preventing Zheng Fei from regaining his ability to move.The same sharp pain came from his limbs,Jiang Wang's expression did not change.He barely managed to temporarily reconnect his right hand with Dao essence,holding the Endless Longing Sword, and thrust it into the side of Zheng Fei's neck!At the same time, blood spurted from his own neck as well.He paid no heed, merely using his sword qi once again to cut open Zheng Fei's Dao essence.Under the counterattack of the Malice Retribution divine ability,his own hands also fell limply...This was an exceptionally bloody, exceptionally cold, yet courageous scene.Cruelty towards others requires no courage, only cruelty;cruelty towards oneself requires courage!Jiang Wang's method of dealing with Zheng Fei was very "clumsy," and also very simple.Back then, at the Qingyun Pavilion mountain gate, after witnessing the divine abilities of Zheng Fei and Li Shou,his only thought was that if he ever encountered these two Demonic Men in the future,he must turn around and flee. Because he truly did not know where their weakness lay,or how to deal with them.In the arduous battle today, from which there was no escaping,he only found a "weakness" that could barely be called one—The Malice Retribution divine ability required sufficient conditions to achieve an equal or exceeding counterattack.Up until now, the counterattacking force it generated was weaker than the damage Jiang Wang inflicted on Zheng Fei.Jiang Wang maximized this point,while preserving his own life, he crippled Zheng Fei's combat ability,inflicting injuries that were difficult to heal.Then he let him slowly lose blood and his injuries worsen over time... until death!The damage counterattacked by the Malice Retribution divine ability was only related to the damage Jiang Wang released during the attack.And Zheng Fei apparently had not realized this point.He stared fixedly at Jiang Wang,uttering a rasping sound due to the spurting blood from his neck:"Little... Little Jiang. Let's die... die together."Jiang Wang's injuries were not optimistic.If Zheng Fei was already at death's door, then he was also in a half-dead state.But his voice remained calm.It was the tranquility of having everything under control."Incorrect," he said faintly, as he once again unleashed sword qi,allowing Zheng Fei's injuries to continue to worsen."Only you will die. Because it is not I who kills you, but your wounds and time."The Malice Retribution divine ability returns all damage,but it cannot return time!But Zheng Fei seemed to be unable to hear these words anymore.In his ears, there seemed to be countless sounds,crying, begging for mercy, pleading, shrieking...All the sounds rushed towards him at once.He had spent his life pursuing happiness, searching for lost childhood innocence.But the pain in his body was unbearable, as if he had returned to his childhood,to the relentless rain of punches and kicks...He was in so much pain that he wanted to cry out, but no sound came out.He did not know how long it had been, so long that it felt as if he had lived his life over again.Blood also flowed from his eyes.He looked at the sky with blurred vision, and in a trance, saw that skin-and-bones face—Li Shou had never had enough to eat since childhood, and did not grow well.No matter how much meat he bought him later, he never got fat."Lao Si..."He said hoarsely, "I don't hurt, I'm not afraid of pain, hohohoho..."His breath dispersed little by little.He just died with his eyes open.Blood beneath him had almost formed a small stream...Lin Xian, hidden to the side by the Innate Chaotic Formation, watched this scene in a daze.The deaths of Huan Tao and Li Shou, and the escape of the Unmasking Demonic Man,all gave him a sense of unreality.Especially the process of Jiang Wang sitting beside him, quietly waiting for Zheng Fei to die,gave him a strange sense of tranquility,far removed from the shock brought by the previous bloody slaughter.It was as if watching a young man meditating and calming his mind.Cruelty and tranquility coexisted in such harmony.This indescribable peerless battle, after the ultimate brilliance and violence,in the end, only left behind a scarred young man,sitting quietly alone.It was not until the aura of the Ten Thousand Evils Demonic Man completely disappearedthat Lin Xian suddenly realized—Just now, he had witnessed a legend with his own eyes!!!This was the peak battle among all documented battles of the Inner Mansion realm throughout history.This was a battle that surpassed the immortal legend of the Heaven Mansion Elder!In the 391st year of the Dao Calendar, on the 25th day of the ninth month,in the Soul Severing Gorge, the Valley of Chaotic Rocks,Jiang Wang, the Yellow River Leader of the Inner Mansion realm,faced the four Great Demonic Men of the Outer Building peak realm: Ten Thousand Evils, Flesh-Shredding, Unmasking, and Head-Chopping—He expelled one and sword-slaughtered three.Proving himself the First Inner Mansion of all time!From ancient times to the present, tracing back three thousand years, thirteen thousand years, thirty thousand years...In the realm of the Inner Mansion, Jiang Wang is the first.Reading through green history, there is no such person!
