Chapter 234: Killing Two People in Succession (Please Subscribe)

"In fifty breaths, it will melt completely."

"Then I will kill you within fifty breaths."

"If I were you, I would just self-detonate it directly."

"..."

Gao Feng only assumed Du En was just using words to continue squeezing and mocking him, so he did not answer, to avoid bringing humiliation upon himself.

However, that was exactly what he was thinking on his end.

Rather than being so controlled by others with no possibility of escape, it would be better to exert some use at the very end!

Of course, a life-bound magical treasure is, after all, life-bound; if it truly self-detonates, the backlash from the injuries will definitely not be small.

It is just that if paying this price can defeat an enemy that could not otherwise be defeated, Du En feels it is acceptable.

In the first exchange, a small test of skill.

Gao Feng is no match for him!

Thus, he steps forward, he strikes!

The wind and sand rise again!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

"Hmph!"

I thought you might have some new tricks!

Gao Feng's expression is stern as he thinks this, though in his heart he is actually relieved.

Even though he has cultivated for many years, he has only cultivated two superior-grade spells to the minor success stage, so it is completely impossible for him to understand how the Du En before him managed to cultivate so many superior-grade spells to minor success.

However, this only strengthens his resolve to kill!

Such a disaster—if not eradicated at this time, then when?

Yes! That's right! Kill him!

Yun Ying is even more terrified, only luckily thinking that his own actions were quite decisive; such a monster must absolutely not be allowed to grow...

"Are there no others?"

Du En only asks this, interrupting Yun Ying's train of thought.

Gao Feng does not answer; the torrent reappears.

But this time, the wind and sand covering the sky ignite with golden flames.

Amidst the shooting firelight, a golden flash directly evaporates the torrent and begins a frontal breakthrough.

Gao Feng's expression changes, and he hurriedly raises his hand to press down.

The Blazing Flame Saber appears once more...

A rapid-fire string of giant cannons, five in total, fully displaying the vastness of Du En's magic power!

Gao Feng cannot help but be horrified, unable to stop himself from letting out a sound: "The bearing of a genius?!"

He finally realizes the gap between them!

The accumulation hidden within a perfect Dao foundation, which was not overly obvious during Foundation Establishment, is now realized; to have such vast magic power immediately upon breaking through a realm is completely beyond the category of a first-class talent. Only a genius with hopes of reaching the Deity Transformation realm could possess such might.

His scalp tingles, he...

The Blazing Flame Saber is blasted to pieces, and the giant cannons shift, projecting toward his side.

Just as he is about to dodge, he suddenly sees in his divine sense a pair of large hands appearing out of thin air, first the hands then the body; it is that Casting Image Technique, about to scoop him up and grab him.

Although he quickly breaks through it with his spell, seeing the shadow blocking the moonlight, he knows he cannot escape.

"Ha!"

If he cannot dodge, then he will not dodge!

At this moment, with his magic power exploding to the limit, his Golden Core feels as if it is about to self-detonate. A sharp, white golden armor covers his body, and the momentum of golden spears and iron horses suddenly erupts, faintly showing signs of breaking through to the late stage—this is the result of operating his cultivation method with full force.

Military Combat Art, a middle-grade metal-element cultivation method, brought to its peak!

Bang!

A breaking sound suddenly appears.

Pfft!

Gao Feng vomits blood, his cultivation method dissipates on the spot, and he looks at Du En in disbelief.

On his end, he has directly crushed those two halves of the tiger tally!

"I only said it would melt after fifty breaths; I never said I couldn't actually crush it."

That is why I said it: if it can self-detonate, do it early, and now there can be a bit of advance preparation.

"You..."

He only has time to spit out one word before the rapid-fire giant cannons knock him from the sky, slamming him into the ground, crushing him into a pulp.

When it comes time to bury the corpse later, there will be plenty of effort involved.

Du En only thinks this, casually throwing away the completely ruined remains of the tiger tally.

And before burying the corpse, there is another matter that needs to be done first.

Killing.

Yun Ying is currently dripping with cold sweat, losing his composure, his face deathly pale; even though his body is firmly bound, he cannot help but tremble and shiver, completely unable to accept the development before him.

A first-class talent on his own level, with a cultivation of the mid-stage Golden Core, the former manager of the inner city of Nanmo, Gao Feng, just died like that, without causing any actual impact on Du En at all, not even managing to cause him the slightest injury!

"Impossible, impossible, hahaha, a genius? The bearing of a genius? How could it be? How could such a person exist among the mud-legged ones? This shouldn't be, something is wrong!"

His worldview is collapsing at this moment; he is completely unable to understand the current situation, completely unable to accept such a thing.

As soon as he sees this expression, Ren Li on the other side knows who has won.

It is a pity that he is currently frozen in ice and cannot laugh out loud.

Then, from his perspective, he saw twenty-some Tier 3 magical artifacts descend directly from the sky, turning his arch-nemesis, Yun Ying, into a pile of fragments on the spot.

Such violence, such overkill, made Ren Li feel gratified while simultaneously causing him to think of one person.

Du En?

Could it be him?

But if it were him, it would be far too fantastical...

Ren Li thought to himself.

He had heard the bursts of commotion from behind just moments ago, so just by imagining it, he could mentally reconstruct that incredibly intense scene, making it very difficult to draw a direct connection to Du En, who back then had a cultivation level even lower than his own, only at the late stage of Qi Refining.

Du En did not pay much attention to the thoughts over there; he first found and buried all the minced meat of the corpse, letting his accumulated corpse count increase by one again, then went to collect the remnants of the array to avoid any hidden dangers, and finally did a general cleanup of the scene.

When he calmed down and unfroze Ren Li's head, only then was the fact before his eyes fully confirmed.

"It really is you..."

Looking at Du En before him, who was just as he had been in the past—time had left no mark, failing to change his true nature, still maverick and calm as water, yet not cold—Ren Li stammered, murmuring in his heart, and in the end, he actually blurted out...

"Seeing that you still have the mood to joke, your injuries are clearly not that severe, so I won't need to waste any spiritual pills or medicines."

"Hey, don't!"

Ren Li immediately lost the mood to joke, but Du En did not care about him; he directly snatched up Yun Ying's belongings, roughly broke the seal on the storage bag, and piled all the odds and ends together.

"Are both of these guys this poor? Gao Feng is understandable, stripped of everything and demoted to a convict, he had long since been bankrupted, but this guy is at least your senior brother, the eighth disciple of the Great Cultivator Yun Yi, how could he have so little stuff?"

Eight high-grade spirit stones, seven thousand five hundred and sixty-six mid-grade spirit stones, a pile of Tier 2 pills, talismans, and magical artifacts, and a few precious Tier 2 spiritual items—not a single Tier 3 item, which was truly disappointing.

Ren Li was speechless upon hearing this, then pondered slightly and said, "Because this was an operation that defied our master, he certainly couldn't let anyone discover it and could only use his own savings, so he must have spent his wealth elsewhere."

"That array? It seems to be the Moon Rhyme Spirit-Locking Array."

"A high-grade Tier 3 array... that sounds about right, but I really am impressed you could break free and even counter-kill that Golden Core stage elite; it's truly been ten years since we last met, the changes are so fast that even I can't recognize you!"

Ren Li was filled with emotion and couldn't help but think back to those years.
