"Ahhhhhhhhh!" Zhuge Xun screamed in agony. His limbs and bones were constantly absorbing blood, but since nothing other than his heart could produce blood, the heart had to constantly accelerate its production, causing it to wear down violently like a machine operating under overload. This made Zhuge Xun's heart ache as if pierced by a knife.

"Hold on, the Knight's Heart is beginning to awaken. As long as you endure this, your Knight's Heart will enter the first stage of awakening. Only if you survive this can you truly be called a Guardian Knight." Seeing Zhuge Xun like this, the Knight Shi Jian was also very nervous. It knew what one had to experience to awaken a Knight's Heart, and it also knew what it meant for Zhuge Xun to awaken his Knight's Heart at this time.

"Kid, it seems even the heavens want you to die here, having your old wounds flare up during a battle. Seeing you in such pain, I'll do you a favor today and send you on your way so you suffer less." Liu Feng was thinking about how to continue stalling Zhuge Xun so that Brown could kill Ye Qingyu as quickly as possible and then come over to deal with Zhuge Xun together with him, but he suddenly discovered Zhuge Xun screaming in agony, looking as if his old wounds had flared up. This made Liu Feng very happy, and he wanted to kill Zhuge Xun directly and then kill Ye Qingyu together with Brown. This way, he could not only complete this mission but also re-establish his prestige within the team, maintain his dignity as captain, and finally obtain that item that could allow him to ascend to a Mind User—to ascend to a Mind User.

A fierce wind appeared on the hilt of Liu Feng's sword, subsequently wrapping around the entire blade; the whole sword looked like a rotating fierce wind vortex.

The fierce wind vortex fully formed on the sword. Liu Feng still took a worried look and discovered that Zhuge Xun was still screaming in agony, so he swung his sword to hack at Zhuge Xun.

"Fierce Wind Slash." The violent fierce wind vortex swept out from the sword following Liu Feng's hack, sweeping toward Zhuge Xun like a meat-grinding storm.

Boom! The fierce wind vortex opened its bloody maw like a demon from the abyss and swallowed Zhuge Xun, also engulfing the entire ten-meter radius of ground where Zhuge Xun was located.

Zhuge Xun was swallowed by the fierce wind vortex. Liu Feng laughed excitedly: "Hahaha! Finally finished you off, hahaha! Next—" "Next, you can go die." Before Liu Feng could finish speaking, a figure of Zhuge Xun had already shot out from the fierce wind vortex; this figure was none other than Zhuge Xun.

Zhuge Xun grabbed the hilt of the Knight Shi Jian with both hands, dragging the Knight Shi Jian behind him as he shot out from the fierce wind vortex. By the time he spoke, he had already arrived in front of Liu Feng, gripped the hilt tightly with both hands again, and swung the Knight Shi Jian in a semicircle from behind him to the front, slamming it toward Liu Feng.

Boom! Liu Feng was completely unable to dodge, or rather, he was already sent flying by the Knight Shi Jian before the thought of dodging could even appear in his mind.

Hum. Almost at the same time Liu Feng was sent flying, Zhuge Xun had already disappeared from his original spot, and when he appeared again, it was already in front of the path along which Liu Feng was flying backward.

With veins bulging and his hands gripping the hilt even tighter, Zhuge Xun used almost all his strength to slam the Knight Shi Jian out again.

Boom! Without any suspense, Liu Feng was hit by the Knight Shi Jian again, sent flying once more from bottom to top.

Hum. Zhuge Xun disappeared from his spot again and appeared in front of the direction Liu Feng was flying backward.

"Hehehe, now who is sending whom on their way?" Zhuge Xun asked after smiling wickedly at the incoming Liu Feng.

Boom! Without waiting for Liu Feng to answer, Zhuge Xun had already swung the Knight Shi Jian again, sending Liu Feng flying.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! Liu Feng was flying backward rapidly downward, and the direction he was falling toward was exactly where Brown was located.

"Wind Net." Brown shouted loudly, creating a wind net at the spot where Liu Feng was falling, wanting to use the wind net to catch Liu Feng.

Hum. Watching Liu Feng fall from mid-air, Zhuge Xun disappeared again. When he appeared again, he was already near the falling Liu Feng, and subsequently swung the Knight Shi Jian again, slamming it heavily into Liu Feng's body.

Boom! Liu Feng accelerated his descent again.

"No!" Brown shouted, wanting to stop Liu Feng from falling.

Boom! However, it was a pity; before Brown could finish creating the wind net, Liu Feng had already broken through the wind net he had previously created and landed heavily on the ground. Brown could only helplessly use wind magic to shift away from his original position, dodging the falling Liu Feng.

Pfft! After landing, Liu Feng spat out a large mouthful of blood and then passed out. Liu Feng was also pitiful; having been attacked by Zhuge Xun repeatedly, he should have spat blood the first time he was attacked by Zhuge Xun, but Zhuge Xun's black energy had sealed all the blood in his body, preventing him from spitting it out. It was only after landing from the final attack that the seal was broken, allowing him to spit out this mouthful of blood.

"Captain!" Seeing Liu Feng land, Brown shouted and rushed toward the fallen Liu Feng.

"Black Judgment." Zhuge Xun's voice came from the sky. Zhuge Xun was clad in black armor, his right hand gripping the Knight Shi Jian held high behind him, while black energy jetted out from behind him, propelling Zhuge Xun to dive downward at high speed.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! Zhuge Xun's speed became faster and faster. Just as he was about to land, the Knight Shi Jian slammed fiercely toward the ground.

Boom! The Knight Shi Jian slammed heavily into Liu Feng's body, driving Liu Feng into the ground and blasting a large crater into the earth. The black energy split into eight strands, cutting outward in eight directions like sharp blades, carving eight deep trenches into the ground. Brown, who had just rushed up, was also repelled by these eight strands of black energy, retreating back to his original spot.

"Hehe, it seems that with your ability, you couldn't end my suffering and send me on my way at all." Zhuge Xun said wickedly, looking at Liu Feng, who was lying in the crater with only breaths going in and none coming out, his chest sunken, and his body cut with eight bloody, mangled wounds.

Whoo, whoo, whoo! Liu Feng had been attacked by Zhuge Xun repeatedly and was not far from death. Being provoked by Zhuge Xun like this, the blood stuck in his throat and couldn't go down, and he died on the spot.

"To say you'd do me a favor and end my suffering, sending me on my way with this level of skill—you overestimate yourself." Zhuge Xun said disdainfully, looking at the dead Liu Feng.
