Chapter 109: Fratricide
Nie Feng looked at Demon Person Duan Fengyun and said:
"Yun, Shuang, later I will use the Snow Drink Saber to seal Junior Brother Duan's Meridians. You two find an opportunity to locate his Demonic Essence. We must save him."
"Understood!"
Bu Jingyun and Qin Shuang agreed.
The three of them held their weapons and charged directly at Demon Person Duan Fengyun. Demon Person Duan Fengyun laughed with unparalleled arrogance:
"Since you are seeking your own deaths, don't blame me for being heartless."
Then he whispered:
"Host, this isn't my fault; it's your senior brothers who came looking for trouble with me."
Demon Person Duan Fengyun drew the Jue Sword and engaged Nie Feng and the other two in battle.
The strategy of Nie Feng and the others did not succeed. After the Demonic Saber reached perfection, Duan Fengyun's Extraordinary Meridians were already different from those of ordinary people, so Nie Feng's idea of using the Snow Drink Saber to freeze his Meridians fell through.
Since the strategy didn't work, Nie Feng and the others had no choice but to press the attack and subdue Duan Fengyun.
But things were not that simple.
Nie Feng and the others held back in every strike, while Demon Person Duan Fengyun's moves were all lethal. Even with their numerical advantage, it was difficult for them to parry the onslaught of the Demonic Saber.
The three knew they could not continue holding back like this; Demon Person Duan Fengyun's Demonic Saber was tricky and fierce, and if they were the slightest bit careless, they would be struck.
Thus, the three of them no longer held back, each unleashing their full strength to contend with Demon Person Duan Fengyun.
Suddenly, countless saber glints, sword shadows, and axe forms attacked Demon Person Duan Fengyun.
Demon Person Duan Fengyun laughed happily. He was a battle fanatic by nature, and none of the sects he had challenged previously had given him such a thorough, satisfying fight.
Today, Nie Feng and the others could finally let him have a truly exhilarating battle.
After neutralizing the attacks of Nie Feng and the others with a horizontal slash, he threw down the Jue Sword and said:
"My three good senior brothers, come, let us first compare our hand-to-hand combat skills to see who is truly Xiongba's most outstanding disciple."
Nie Feng and the others complied with his wish, each sticking their weapons into the ground.
Immediately, the four of them became a tangled mess, exchanging blows.
Nie Feng attacked Demon Person Duan Fengyun with his legs, and Duan Fengyun countered with the Wind God Leg.
Bu Jingyun attacked with his palms, and Demon Person Duan Fengyun countered with the same moves from the Cloud-Rending Palm.
Qin Shuang attacked with his fists, and Demon Person Duan Fengyun similarly unleashed the Heaven Frost Fist to clash with him.
Demon Person Duan Fengyun wanted to defeat the three of them using their own moves to prove that he was the strongest.
But after all, two fists are no match for four hands. Nie Feng and the others had studied their respective martial arts deeply, having long since cultivated their own fists, palms, and legs to the peak realm.
Duan Fengyun, however, had learned too much, leading to a lack of refinement, and after a few moves, he began to be unable to parry.
Nie Feng kicked Demon Person Duan Fengyun with a flick-leg, drawing blood.
This made Demon Person Duan Fengyun furious. He flipped over to reach the Jue Sword; he wanted to finish off these three people as quickly as possible.
Seeing this, Nie Feng and the others also leaped to their respective weapons.
Nie Feng and the others all unleashed their strongest techniques.
Nie Feng held the Wind Blade, continuously accelerating, gradually becoming one with the Snow Drink Saber.
Bu Jingyun held the Peerless Sword and was also continuously accelerating, slowly becoming one with the Peerless Sword as well.
Qin Shuang, on his side, charged forward holding the Thunder-Shock Axe, slashing at Demon Person Duan Fengyun with a Zhenlei Xiao.
Demon Person Duan Fengyun met force with force, directly neutralizing Qin Shuang's Zhenlei Xiao.
The powerful saber Qi directly injured Qin Shuang, knocking him to the ground.
Subsequently, the two, Feng and Yun, having achieved Man-Sword Unity and Man-Saber Unity, flew before Demon Person Duan Fengyun.
Demon Person Duan Fengyun held his sword up to the sky, then also became one with the Jue Sword.
The three peerless divine weapons collided intensely.
"Boom, boom, boom."
The sound of saber and sword collisions was continuous, and the surrounding area was left in ruins due to the explosions from the collisions.
Afterward, the Jue Sword flew to the ground, and Demon Person Duan Fengyun returned to his human form.
Meanwhile, the Snow Drink Saber and the Peerless Sword flew to the opposite side, returning to Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun.
In this battle just now, none of the three had gained any advantage, and all had suffered significant internal injuries.
But being injured did not mean the battle was over. Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun had discussed this privately when they arrived.
"Even if they had to die, they would save Junior Brother Duan. They had gone to Dongying together, yet they didn't even know why Duan Fengyun had become like this.
If the two of them dying still couldn't make Duan Fengyun break away from the Demonic Path, then they could only fulfill their original vow: to take Duan Fengyun down with them to prevent him from wreaking havoc on the martial arts world."
Demon Person Duan Fengyun spat out another mouthful of fresh blood. Although he had vomited blood again, he was very excited.
He needed exactly this kind of opponent, an opponent who made his heart boil.
Immediately, he held his sword and charged at Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun.
Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun attacked from both sides, striking at the left and right of Demon Person Duan Fengyun respectively.
On the left was Nie Feng's Wind Blade, and on the right was Bu Jingyun's Cloud Ten Swords.
In terms of the profoundness of the techniques, neither was inferior to the Demonic Saber.
Facing the joint attack of the two, Demon Person Duan Fengyun gradually began to feel overwhelmed.
The enraged Demon Person Duan Fengyun felt his Demon Energy boiling continuously; he felt an anomaly occurring within his body.
He felt the blood in his body boiling, his right arm burning, and it felt as if something was about to crawl out from between his eyebrows.
"Ah, ah, ah!"
He roared in pain, and finally, he stopped roaring.
He was astonished to discover that the internal injuries he had just sustained were all healed, and the thing that had grown between his eyebrows seemed capable of seeing through all of Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun's vital acupuncture points.
It turned out that he could not see the two men's major acupoints by using the Demon Eye.
Subsequently, he looked at his right arm; his arm was now filled with power, and the Qilin tattoo on his arm looked vivid and lifelike.
He suddenly recalled that the host's body contained Qilin Blood; could it be that his anger just now had triggered the Qilin Blood, thereby greatly increasing his power?
Thinking of this, he could not help but laugh wildly; he was indeed the one destined by heaven.
Meanwhile, Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun were shocked to discover that Demon Person Duan Fengyun, whose forehead had previously been smooth, had now grown something resembling an eye.
This must be the Demon Eye that Senior Xiehuang spoke of!
Seeing the Demon Eye, the two men instantly gained confidence; according to what Senior Xiehuang said, as long as they pierced his Demon Eye, he would return to normal.
The two men exchanged a glance, then rose and attacked Demon Person Duan Fengyun.
Although the two men had sustained internal injuries, the appearance of the Demon Eye gave them confidence.
The two continued to attack from both sides, but the difference this time was that Nie Feng was responsible for the main assault, while Bu Jingyun sought an opportunity to pierce the Demon Eye with the Peerless Sword.
Yet, to their surprise, they discovered that Demon Person Duan Fengyun, who had just been beaten into a state of serious injury, had actually easily parried their attacks without a single trace of injury.
Demon Person Duan Fengyun easily defended against their attacks, then immediately delivered two whip kicks to their abdomens, kicking the two men flying.
Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun spat blood on the ground; they did not understand why Demon Person Duan Fengyun, who had already been seriously injured, had suddenly recovered.
The two exchanged a smile; since they could not bring Junior Brother Duan back to the Righteous Path, they could only perish together with Junior Brother Duan.
Their eyes were resolute, as if they had reached some kind of tacit understanding.
