Chapter 74: The Trembling of the Feng Family

  Just then Feng Muzhe fled far away.

  Inside the sewer, with a loud roar of anger and a flash of brilliant light, two figures suddenly clashed in mid-air, followed by a series of deafening explosions.

  One of them fell heavily downwards and landed directly in a dirty stream, splashing up a patch of bloody foam.

  On the other side, Xu Yu, who had just killed an enemy with one sword strike, was also hit by a fierce blow and crashed heavily into the wall on one side.

  The defensive aura outside was instantly shattered and dissipated, and the whole person also became dispirited.

  However, after a glance at the corpses in the water, Xu Yu let out a long sigh of relief.

  That's too dangerous, that guy is finally dead!

  This lean middle-aged man was absolutely the strongest among the six cultivators, and the artifact in his hand made him even more surprised, because he couldn't quickly merge with that sharp killing sword.

  After he caught up with the opponent relying on Treading on Air, in the first instant, there was no surprise at all. Under the terrifying fusion of spiritual energy, the flying tool, defensive tool, and storage ring under the middle-aged man's feet all underwent a transformation in an instant and began to leave his control, causing his speed and defense to drop instantly, and he could no longer obtain more treasures.

  But unexpectedly, the flying sword in that person's hand transformed extremely slowly under the fusion of spiritual energy. It seemed that the several portions of spiritual energy Xuyu had invested hadn't taken effect at all.

  In an instant, the middle-aged cultivator immediately reacted and manipulated the flying sword in his hand to stab towards Xu Yu with a speed that was too fast to be seen.

  Fortunately, he could still display his Void Step technique, that ghostly and unpredictable pace, allowing him to narrowly escape.

  This is a top-grade artifact, and it's the only one in the entire Youyang Gate.

  Its quality has already reached a point where it can no longer be easily refined by ordinary spiritual energy, because if high-grade artifacts continue to be upgraded, they become spiritual artifacts!!

  Even though Xu Yu was doing his best to urge on the spiritual energy, the out-of-control speed of the flying sword was still extremely unremarkable and could be manipulated at will by the opponent. At most, there were only slight pauses in the manipulation.

  However, it is precisely by relying on that slight pause that he can repeatedly turn danger into safety.

  After all, even if a superior magic tool is terrifying, it's still necessary to attack people with that terrifying magic tool.

  On the other hand, although he was not afraid of losing control of the flying sword in his hands, he also knew that he could not quickly kill Xu Yu. Therefore, when facing other magic treasures and quickly losing control, he became completely flustered and had to divert his attention to refining other magic treasures, reducing his control over the flying sword.

  Once he is distracted, it undoubtedly gives Xu Yu a greater opportunity.

  After repeated entanglements, almost every time brushing past the fierce flames of the flying sword, Xǔ Yú finally completely deprived his opponent of control over other magical instruments.

  That frail and weak middle-aged body was thoroughly exposed before his eyes.

  But the middle-aged man, after realizing his desperate situation, ignited a ruthless bloodlust and launched a counterattack like a final stand. With just one strike, he easily shattered Xu Yu's jade pendant. If not for him dodging quickly, when the flying sword grazed his body and destroyed his protective shield in an instant, taking advantage of that brief pause to escape in time, the consequences could have been even more unbearable.

  Looking at the opponent's fallen figure and the fierce sword that had dropped to the ground, Xu Yu took another light breath before stepping forward, picking up the flying sword, and then flipping over the middle-aged man's corpse, putting his lost storage ring and other items into his pouch.

  This night, continuous high-intensity slaughter had almost exhausted him to the point of being drained.

  Even at this point, his own energy was less than 10, and the reserved spiritual energy had been completely exhausted.

  After all, apart from the previous extraction of a lot of energy and fusion of spiritual energy, he has been constantly casting the Void Step. Although that pace consumes not much for him, but accumulating over a long period of time is also extremely astonishing.

  But all of this is finally over now.

  After doing all this, Xu Yu suddenly took out two corpses and a lighter from the storage ring on his finger.

  After merging another spiritual energy, the fire machine transformed into a spiritual fire and scattered on the piled-up corpses.

  He took another deep breath and stepped out.

  But as he walked, Xuyu's mind gradually stirred up a strange wave again.

  He had been in a state of intense fighting all along, and he didn't have time to think too much. But now, after things had finally calmed down, he suddenly came to his senses and realized that he had killed people, and for the first time, he had even killed six people, and it was a case of murder and robbery, destroying evidence!!

  All of this, although he didn't regret it, also couldn't be as if it had never happened.

  It wasn't until he walked back home step by step at a nearly slow pace that his heart gradually calmed down, and he quickly blended in with the surrounding environment, recovering his energy.

  "This time, after recovering from exhaustion, I should study the spells of a mage. Having obtained so many things, it would be a waste if I didn't learn them."

  ……………

  Just then, Xǔ Yú was recovering in the lower province, Jiang City.

  Originally a symbol of prestige and grandeur, the Feng family mansion was now shrouded in an unprecedented atmosphere of terror and fear.

  "What did you say? The six Foundation Establishment cultivators inside the mountain gate were all killed by that Xuyu alone?" Feng Muyan, who looked somewhat similar to Feng Muyuan, almost got scared to death after hearing Feng Muyuan's words.

  What a joke, those were six Foundation Establishment stage experts! The entire Yu Yang Gate only had seven people to begin with, and it's enough to compare to six Nascent Soul stage experts. In some ways, it's even more than that, because Foundation Establishment stage cultivators can fly in the air, while Nascent Soul stage warriors can't. But those six people, including the Sect Master of Yu Yang Gate, were actually completely annihilated?

  It's not just Feng Mu Yuan, but also Feng Mu Xie on the side. After hearing this news, he too felt a blackness in front of his eyes and had an urge to faint.

  "Am I still going to lie? Now, the most important thing is to think of a plan for our family's future. With such a disaster happening, whether it's the elder who stayed behind in Yu Yang Gate or Xu Yu, if either side finds us, we're all done for!!" Feng Mu Zhe's face was also pale with shock at this time, but he knew even more clearly that now was not the time to panic.

  With these words, the other two were also thoroughly panicked, and what about the Feng family, what should they do next?

  Even if they were the Feng family, in these years, within the secular world, they had developed extremely vast power and influence. But what use was that power to the foundation-building cultivators and Xu Yu?

  Let's just say that if they deliberately retaliate, then even if we kill them all off, who can stop us? Modern technology? Official power?

  Modern technology, can withstand the flying sword? Even if it can occasionally block it, can it withstand Xuyao's extraordinary demon? Xuyao is a more terrifying devil than the current Yuanyangmen.

  Not to mention behind his back, there is also a considerable official force!!

  If he did it covertly, then even if the Feng family were exterminated, no one would be able to find evidence from a direct angle.

  No need to say more, as long as he triggers a strong earthquake and buries the entire Feng family, even if it's said that the sky has fallen, no one would think it's murder. At most, people in the country would think that the Feng family had bad luck... After working hard for hundreds of years, they were all gone with just one earthquake...

  Well, in the past, I thought Xuyu was just an early-stage cultivator and couldn't use extremely powerful Tianxuan-level martial skills. Plus, with Lishui Gate as his backing, the Feng family wouldn't have to worry too much. But now, if anyone still tries to make normal assumptions about that guy, it's simply impossible.

  Just thinking about these things, how can they not be afraid? How can they not be terrified?

  In the midst of a stunned silence, Feng Mu finally spoke in a cold tone, "At this point, all we can do is hope that person forgives us! However, to be on the safe side, let's disperse the family members as soon as possible and send a batch of elites to various parts of the world for refuge."

  "Right, even if it means sacrificing everything, we must try to get his forgiveness. Since he is in the secular world and his father is also a government official, there may still be a glimmer of hope for him to accept our apology." Along with Feng Mu's words, Feng Muyou also nodded repeatedly.

  "It's no use, it has to be this way, no matter what the cost!"

  As soon as Feng Mu Zhe heard these words, he immediately interjected, affirming them. However, the three of them fell silent again, with a deep sense of helplessness and boundless regret, because they had no confidence that the other party would forgive them.

  At this moment, all three of them felt a sense of wanting to cry but having no tears.
