Chapter 548: Space Maneuver!

Boom!

The collision of two forces made the entire courtyard tremble.

Jiang Feng's body, like a kite with its string cut, flew backward and slammed heavily into the courtyard wall.

Boom—

A large section of the courtyard wall collapsed, bricks and stones smashing into Jiang Feng and burying him underneath.

Dust filled the air, rubble rolling.

The black shadow stood there, its purple eyes coldly gazing at the wreckage, the corner of its mouth curling in a disdainful arc.

"A Kunlun Disciple? That's all."

His voice was low and hoarse, filled with an indescribable contempt.

However, just as his words fell—

Clatter!

From the rubble pile, a hand reached out.

Jiang Feng pushed aside the bricks and stones, rising from the wreckage.

His clothes were torn, multiple wounds on his body, blood flowing down his arms and dripping onto the ground, staining a patch red.

Yet his gaze remained calm, even carrying a hint of a cold smile.

"Is that all your strength?"

Jiang Feng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said lightly.

The black shadow's purple pupils narrowed slightly; it clearly hadn't expected Jiang Feng to still be able to stand.

"A bit interesting."

The black shadow whispered a sentence, and the evil aura on its body surged again.

At that moment, Kun Long's voice sounded in Jiang Feng's mind.

"Jiang Feng kid, are you alright?"

"I won't die. But this old thing is indeed formidable; that punch almost shattered my bones."

"Be careful, this demon's strength is truly extraordinary. His power doesn't seem to belong to this world, and moreover—"

Kun Long paused, his tone becoming even more grave.

"Moreover, he seems to be merely a clone!"

Jiang Feng was greatly shocked in his heart.

"A clone?"

"Just a clone, and it could send him flying with one punch, leaving him covered in blood?"

"If his true body arrived, wouldn't it just annihilate him outright?"

"Are you sure?"

Jiang Feng asked in his heart.

Kun Long hesitated a bit, but still transmitted his voice.

"I'm certain. I can sense that his true body is not here; this body is merely a projection of his power. Yet even as a projection, its strength has already reached the Realm of Martial Ancestor!"

"Martial Ancestor!"

Jiang Feng's pupils contracted sharply.

That is a legendary realm.

In the records of Kunlun Mountain, those who have stepped into the Realm of Martial Ancestor are without exception earth-shattering figures.

"How are we supposed to fight this?"

Kun Long seemed to know what Jiang Feng was thinking and continued.

"However, there is good news."

"What good news?"

Jiang Feng hurriedly asked.

"This demon can't hold out for long. He probably doesn't belong to this world; forcibly descending here incurs a huge cost."

"So what you need to do is to endure to the end."

Kun Long reminded.

"As long as he can't hold on, he will eventually leave. By then, you will have won."

Jiang Feng was speechless.

"How am I supposed to endure? You damn pitfall! He's a Martial Ancestor—one punch can send me flying. What can I use to endure?"

"Don't you still have me?"

Jiang Feng froze for a moment, but then heard Kun Long's voice continue lazily.

"Kid, you can still borrow some of my power. However, after this, you'll likely have to lie down for ten days or so."

Jiang Feng gritted his teeth.

Lying down for ten days or so is still better than dying here.

"Come on!"

Jiang Feng let out a low roar in his heart.

Kun Long didn't waste words, directly activating his power.

An ancient and vast power surged from within Jiang Feng's body, flowing through his meridians to his limbs.

Jiang Feng's body began to glow.

Golden light, as dazzling as the sun, illuminated the entire courtyard.

The evil aura lingering in the air, when touched by the golden light, immediately emitted a sizzling sound, as if being scorched, and quickly dissipated.

Jiang Feng's wounds, also under the golden light's cover, healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

His aura was surging wildly.

The black shadow's purple pupils shrank sharply.

He could feel that the young man's strength before him had increased by an unknown number of times in this instant.

That power even made him feel a hint of threat.

"Interesting."

The black shadow spoke in a low voice, a trace of gloom flashing in his purple eyes.

"Is this the ant's dying struggle?"

He paused, then the corner of his mouth curled into a cruel smile.

"I'd like to see what you can do to me!"

As his words fell, the black shadow spread his arms, and the evil aura on his body surged out like a tide.

Heaven and earth underwent a tremendous change.

The sky, already overcast with dark clouds, became even gloomier now.

Everything disappeared, leaving only endless darkness.

A terrifying power burst from the black shadow's body, spreading in all directions.

The flowers, grasses, and trees in the courtyard instantly turned to powder under the impact of that power.

And the black shadow standing in the center of the ruins was like a demon god crawling out of hell.

He lifted his head, and strange light flickered in his purple eyes.

"Blood Sea Demon Domain!"

The black shadow let out a low roar.

In an instant, heaven and earth turned into a sea of blood.

Red light surged up from the ground, pressed down from the sky, and squeezed in from all directions, dyeing the entire world blood-red.

Jiang Feng only felt his whole body enveloped by demonic energy.

That demonic energy was like countless fine needles, piercing the skin's surface, stabbing into the meridians and bone marrow, bringing waves of piercing pain.

His breathing became difficult; each inhalation felt like inhaling poison gas, with a burning pain in his throat.

His vision blurred, blood filling his eyeballs, making him unable to see anything around him.

His consciousness began to blur, as if his brain were blocked, slowing his thoughts.

"Steady your mind!"

Kun Long's voice exploded in his mind like a thunderclap, pulling Jiang Feng back from his daze.

Jiang Feng bit his tongue tip hard, the intense pain making him somewhat clearer.

Golden light burst from within him again, dispersing some of the demonic energy.

But soon the demonic energy surged back, wave after wave like a tide, endless.

The black shadow looked at Jiang Feng struggling to hold on, his purple eyes full of mockery.

"Still struggling?"

He shook his head, as if watching a dying ant struggle.

"Useless. In my Blood Sea Demon Domain, you can't even move, let alone resist."

The black shadow slowly raised his right hand.

That hand was large, with long fingers and black nails, like five sharp daggers.

Black mist coiled around his palm, within which faintly distorted faces could be seen, emitting silent wails.

The large hand pressed down slowly.

The movement was slow, but the pressure made Jiang Feng feel as if the entire sky were collapsing.

Terrifying force pressed down from above, as if a great mountain weighed on his shoulders.

Jiang Feng's legs began to tremble, the ground beneath his feet unable to bear the pressure and starting to sink.

His bones creaked, as if they might break at any moment.

His internal organs were squeezed, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

"Is this the power of a Martial Sovereign......"

Jiang Feng gritted his teeth, his heart filled with shock.

Just a single hand made him unable to stand steadily.

Such a gap simply made one despair.

"Kid, dodge quickly!"

Kun Long's voice rang in his mind with unprecedented urgency, "If you take this palm head-on, you will surely die!"

Jiang Feng naturally knew.

But……

How could he dodge?

His body was bound by demonic energy, making even a slight movement difficult, let alone dodging this palm.

The black shadow's large hand drew ever closer.

Ten meters.

Eight meters.

Five meters.

The shadow of death shrouded his heart, and Jiang Feng felt his heartbeat almost stop.

Jiang Feng gritted his teeth, summoned all his strength, and suddenly rolled to the side.

His body moved with difficulty in the demonic qi, as if stuck in a swamp; every inch he shifted came at a great cost.

But fortunately, he succeeded.

The black shadow's huge hand slapped the ground.

Boom—

The entire land trembled.

A huge palm print appeared on the ground, three feet deep, with the ground around its edges all cracked, the fissures extending all the way to the outside of the courtyard wall.

The courtyard wall couldn't withstand this shockwave and collapsed with a roar.

Broken stones flew, and dust filled the sky.

From inside the house came Rui Rui's crying, and the beautiful woman's terrified scream.

Jiang Feng lay on the ground, covered in blood, gasping heavily.

If he had been half a beat slower just now, he would already be a pile of meat.

The black shadow withdrew its hand, its purple eyes gazing at Jiang Feng, a flicker of surprise passing through.

"Spatial Teleportation?"

His voice carried a hint of surprise.

"I didn't expect that you, a mere half-step Martial Ancestor, would actually master spatial power. It seems the secrets on you are more than I imagined."

The black shadow paused, and a hint of greed flashed in its purple eyes.
