881. Chapter 879: Stinky brat, you've fallen for my trap!

But Lu Yuan had already noticed; his body suddenly shifted sideways, just managing to dodge Ye Feng's palm strike.

Immediately, a barrage of sword rays shot out, blocking Ye Feng's retreat and making it hard for him to escape.

"Hahaha! Stinky brat, you've fallen for my trap!"

Lu Yuan laughed hideously, his long sword trembling wildly in his hand, its speed increasing rapidly.

Ye Feng's brows twitched as he desperately dodged while fiercely attacking.

However, Lu Yuan's sword was extremely sharp, each move carrying a terrifying destructive force, and Ye Feng quickly fell into an absolute disadvantage.

Bang bang bang…

After several more hard blocks, Ye Feng's mouth corner bled, his face showing pain.

"Hehe! Stinky brat, do you have any last words?"

Seeing Ye Feng's situation grow more dire, Lu Yuan's smile widened, his assault becoming ever more fierce.

"Lu Yuan! Don't forget, you promised me that if I could defeat you, you would give me that stone tablet—you won't go back on your word, will you?" Ye Feng snarled through gritted teeth.

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Lu Yuan's smile gradually faded, his gaze growing dark.

He took such a great risk and set up an ambush to sneak attack Ye Feng solely to secure victory.

Originally he was full of confidence, but Ye Feng's performance left him somewhat uncertain.

"Heh..."

Lu Yuan suddenly shook his head.

"You Ye-surname, stop trying to scare me with that talk. I won't fall for your tricks."

"Oh, is that so?"

Ye Feng snorted coldly at the words; suddenly, a golden light burst from his palm, followed by a yellow, pill the size of a fist appearing in his hand.

"You..."

Seeing the pill in Ye Feng's hand, Lu Yuan's pupils contracted slightly, and he couldn't help but cry out.

"Do you recognize this pill?"

Ye Feng narrowed his eyes, his tone icy as he asked.

"Nonsense, I don't just recognize it—I'm intimately familiar with it…"

"Then what exactly is it? Tell me the truth!" Ye Feng roared angrily.

Since it concerns the "Five Elements Heaven and Earth Secret," how could he let this brat off easily? "Hmph! Want me to tell you? Dream on!"

Lu Yuan gave a cold chuckle, then his body suddenly trembled.

Immediately, his clothes tore apart, and his skin was covered with bloody red patterns.

Then, in everyone's sight, thin, long tendrils sprouted from Lu Yuan's pores, extending into the void, and in the blink of an eye covered his entire body.

"Is this the Bloodthirsty Devil Technique?" Ye Feng's expression shifted slightly.

The Bloodthirsty Devil Technique is an extremely evil and poisonous secret art; once afflicted, the victim is possessed by the blood-devouring soul worm.

It will control the mind, reducing the victim to a slave of the Bloodthirsty Devil Sovereign, at the master's command.

Furthermore, once the Bloodthirsty Devil Technique is activated, the victim's body becomes harder than steel, impervious to blades and spears, immune to water and fire.

At this moment, Lu Yuan's state was very special, as if he had become another person; his skin faintly glowed with red patterns, and the aura he emitted was many times stronger than before.

"Stinky brat, today you can't escape even if you grew wings!"

An icy-cold voice entered Ye Feng's ears as Lu Yuan waved his arms, hundreds of bloody sword rays pouring down like a violent storm.

Ye Feng took a deep breath, gripped his Azure Frost Sword tightly, and slashed fiercely.

Clang clang!

Their sword qi crisscrossed wildly, producing a piercing sound.

Lu Yuan's strength had indeed increased considerably, and the Bloodthirsty Devil Technique's deceitfulness made his attack speed much faster.

Even though Ye Feng had powerful true yuan supporting him, he felt the pressure growing ever greater.

He had realized that Lu Yuan was employing a demon clan secret technique; once struck, one would lose consciousness and become the most loyal servant of the Bloodthirsty Devil Sovereign.

Lu Yuan would replenish himself by devouring other martial artists' essence blood, making him more proficient with the secret art and even increasing his strength. This secret method is practically a vicious cycle: the more essence blood he devours, the stronger he becomes.

If left unchecked, within half a year this guy's strength will surely surpass mine, at which point he will surely die! "Lu Yuan, you deserve to die!"

Ye Feng clenched his teeth and let out an angry roar, word by word.

"You're the one who deserves to die!" Lu Yuan laughed wildly.

"I admit your combat power is astonishing, but to beat me you're still a bit short."

"I admit it!"

"Good to know! Just surrender obediently to avoid painful torment." Lu Yuan said arrogantly.

"Pah!"

Ye Feng spat contemptuously: "You despicable villain, you're worse than livestock; fighting scum like you, I'd even feel dirty getting my hands dirty."

"If that's the case, then you have only one path—death." Lu Yuan's gaze was extremely sinister.

"Kill!"

Ye Feng bellowed again; at the same time, he flipped his wrist and produced a spirit beast egg.

Bang bang!

He then threw two spirit beast bone crystals; two blazing flames ignited, instantly wrapping the two eggs and shooting them forward at high speed to strike Lu Yuan.

Boom—!

The violent explosion shook the heavens, rolling smoke and scorching heat spreading everywhere.

Ah! Damn it!

Moments later, a miserable cry rang out from the smoke and dust.

Lu Yuan focused his gaze and saw Ye Feng's chest torn open with a large hole, blood gushing out.

This guy is quite fierce; he didn't die immediately.

"Cough cough! I won't let you off."

Ye Feng covered his wound, glaring at Lu Yuan with boundless resentment, his eyes full of unwillingness.

"Not let me off? Then go to hell and take revenge."

Lu Yuan curled his lips in a hint of mockery, stepping closer step by step.

"I won't accept it!"

Ye Feng let out a reluctant howl, his body swayed, and he tried to leave.

"Haha, where do you think you're going?"

Lu Yuan's face turned ferocious as he laughed wildly, his silhouette turning into an afterimage as he lunged behind Ye Feng, raising his hand to grab his neck.

Boom boom boom! Ye Feng reacted quickly, immediately turning and slashing out several sword lights, but they were still swatted away by Lu Yuan, who then seized his neck.

"You lost!" Lu Yuan's eyes showed a cruel smile.

Ye Feng's face flushed red as he exerted all his strength, placing the Qingfeng Sword against his own throat.

Although he had been defeated, he still did not want to wait for death.

Lu Yuan's eyebrows twitched, a flash of surprise crossing his eyes.

"You... still have a bit of fight left, no wonder you are a genius disciple of the Ye Clan."

His expression somewhat complex, he glanced at Ye Feng, then immediately exerted force with his fingers, with a crack snapping his neck, causing his body to go limp and collapse.

"Brother Ye!"

Seeing Ye Feng fall dead on the spot, Li Haotian was filled with grief and indignation, letting out a loud shout, his eyes bloodshot.

Ye Feng was the one he had invited; without Ye Feng's help, Li Haotian would not only be unable to complete the important task entrusted by his sect, but would also fall into trouble from trespassing into the secret realm privately and die an unjust death.

"Damn it! You killed my friend, you deserve to die ten thousand times!"

Li Haotian flew into a rage, madly urging his sword qi as he lunged at Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, a trace of killing intent surfaced, and he lifted his right foot. (End of chapter)
