Chapter 316: Take This Disgusting Thing Away

Qin Feng's words, "I'll leave her to you for practice—life or death doesn't matter," struck like a thunderclap from flat ground, not only making Xia Wan's heart jolt violently, but completely igniting the fury of the four otherworldly powerhouses!

"Arrogance!" Blazing Sky Lord was the first to roar out, the dark-red flames on his massive axe surging explosively, illuminating his entire body like a lava giant. "A little girl, and she qualifies as my opponent? I'll tear apart this shabby temple first!"

He paid no attention to Xia Wan at all. His enormous body, carrying scorching wind pressure like a cannonball fresh from the barrel, swung his door-sized great axe and hacked directly toward Qin Feng's back and the gate of the "Origin Sacred Hall" behind him! Wherever the axe blade passed, space itself faintly warped, emitting a strained hum!

This axe contained his violent will to burn the eight wastelands, enough to split mountains and boil rivers dry!

"Careful!" Xia Wan cried out, the energy within her instinctively about to erupt as she rushed forward to intercept.

However, Qin Feng seemed to have eyes on his back. He paid no heed to the lethal attack, his footsteps not even pausing for an instant, still unhurriedly walking toward the temple gate.

Just at the instant when that burning great axe was about to touch the hem of his back—

A sudden change occurred!

Blazing Sky Lord's violently charging figure, as if it had slammed into an invisible, formless, yet absolutely insurmountable wall, abruptly halted in midair! The savage expression on his face instantly froze, replaced by an extreme terror and disbelief!

He felt that what he had cleaved was not an axe, but the weight of the entire cosmos! That rebounding force not only completely nullified his attack, but was like countless invisible chains, binding him and his axe dead in place, unable to move even a single finger! The flames burning around him were also like doused with ice water, rapidly dimming.

Not only that, he felt that the essence of the "Blazing Sky Law" he had condensed through countless years of bitter cultivation was being forcibly stripped away and disintegrated by an even more vast, more fundamental power! Like a sandcastle meeting a tsunami, with no power to resist at all!

"No… impossible! What kind of power is this?!" Blazing Sky Lord let out a desperate howl in his heart, yet couldn't even produce a sound.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye.

In the eyes of Xia Wan and the other three invaders, they only saw Blazing Sky Lord charge at Qin Feng with overwhelming momentum, then like an insect encased in amber, eerily freeze in midair, maintaining his hacking posture, his expression shifting from savage to extreme terror. Then, his massive body and that mighty great axe began to disintegrate and dissipate bit by bit from the edges, silently, turning into the purest energy particles, vanishing into the air.

In the blink of an eye, a "Blazing Sky Lord" who had dominated an entire world completely vanished into thin air, not leaving even a trace behind.

Silence!

Deathly stillness!

Lady Venomblade's seductive smile froze on her face, the fingers gripping her dagger turning white from excessive force.

The ghostly green soul-fire beneath Annihilation Envoy's hood flickered violently, revealing his extreme inner turmoil.

Even Mephisto, who had maintained a merchant's composure until now, had completely lost his poise. The pupils behind his gold-rimmed monocle had shrunk to pinpoints, and fine cold sweat seeped from his temples.

Instant kill!

A true, utterly defenseless instant kill!

They hadn't even seen how Qin Feng made his move! No—he hadn't made any move at all! He just… took a step?

What kind of existence was this seemingly ordinary man?!

As for Xia Wan, although she had long anticipated Qin Feng's strength, seeing with her own eyes a powerhouse with such terrifying aura being erased so casually, the shock in her heart remained beyond words. At the same time, she understood the meaning of Qin Feng's words "for practice"—the remaining three were opponents that the Sir had "screened" and deemed her capable of handling!

Just as everyone was still immersed in the shock of Blazing Sky Lord's instant death, the Annihilation Envoy seemed to have been driven to savagery, or perhaps realized the desperate situation. He let out a sharp, piercing shriek, and his white bone staff slammed violently into the ground!

"In the name of the King of Extinction, I summon—Dirge of the Dead!"

Hum!

The black crystal atop his staff erupted with thick, ink-like black light, and an even more frigid, deathly energy, carrying the meaning of desecrating life, instantly spread outward! On the white jade floor of the plaza, countless twisted, agonizing soul phantoms materialized out of thin air, emitting soundless wails. They converged into a turbid black torrent, which did not rush toward Qin Feng or Xia Wan, but lunged directly at… Mephisto and Lady Venomblade, who stood to the side with pale faces!

He actually wanted to forcibly drain the life force and souls of his temporary companions to cast an even more powerful forbidden spell!

"Nether Bone! You seek death!" Lady Venomblade cried out in shock and fury, her figure retreating rapidly like a phantom, while her dagger danced, slashing out countless green venomous gleams, attempting to cut through the black soul tentacles coiling around her.

Mephisto's face also changed drastically. A milky-white protective shield lit up at the tip of his walking stick, resisting the erosion of the Dirge of the Dead, while he shouted sharply: "Nether Bone! Stop! Fighting among ourselves now will only get us all killed here!"

However, the Annihilation Envoy Nether Bone had already fallen completely into madness, paying no heed to them at all, only pouring all his power into the staff. More soul phantoms were dragged out from the void, the filthy black energy growing ever denser, even beginning to corrode space itself!

At this moment, Qin Feng, who had been watching coldly from the sidelines, slightly furrowed his brow.

He seemed to feel a hint of… annoyance at the spreading, filth-laden energy brimming with death and resentment.

He watched the ever-expanding black torrent, and within it Mephisto and Lady Venomblade struggling and fighting back, as well as the frenzied Annihilation Envoy, as if watching a group of mud monkeys rolling around in a clean room.

Then, he raised his hand and, toward the densest core of that black energy and the staff-wielding Annihilation Envoy Nether Bone, gave a light wave.

No light, no sound.

But that filthy, violent "Dirge of the Dead" energy, which seemed capable of devouring all life, vanished without a trace in an instant, like a smudge wiped away by an eraser. Gone along with it was the Annihilation Envoy Nether Bone who had cast it.

He and his white bone staff simply vanished into thin air, as if they had never existed.

On the plaza, only the slightly panting Lady Venomblade and the shaken Mephisto remained, along with the rapidly dissipating air returning to purity.

After doing all this, Qin Feng seemed to have merely brushed off nonexistent dust from his clothes. His gaze fell upon Mephisto and Lady Venomblade, and though his eyes remained calm, it made the two of them feel as if they had fallen into an icy abyss, their bodies rigid, not daring to move in the slightest.

Then, Qin Feng turned his head and, to Xia Wan who stood nearby, already adjusted and ready for battle, spoke in his characteristic, flat, unruffled tone, giving an order:

"Take these two,"

He paused, seemingly choosing his words, and finally settled on a fitting description,

"disgusting things away."

"Don't dirty the place."

Xia Wan: "…Yes, Sir!"

She took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in her heart, her gaze instantly sharpening like a blade, locking onto the remaining two invaders—Lady Venomblade and the merchant Mephisto.

The battle truly begins now. And her opponents are two otherworldly powerhouses whom Qin Feng had labeled "disgusting," and who were scared out of their wits!
