Chapter 408: Chapter 408: Falling Out

Sun Yiluo sighed with a look of resignation. "I’ve given all of Qiguang City’s reduced Tributes over the years to Yuan Xian’Er and Elder Tuo Mingxia. If not for their patronage, I would have lost my footing in Qiguang City long ago."

"You’re lying! Yuan Xian’Er is a True Disciple of my Bi Yao Demon Sect, and Elder Tuo Mingxia is a person of great integrity. How could they possibly accept your bribes? To dare slander them—your crimes are unforgivable!"

"You even poisoned me to cover up your crimes. That alone proves you’ve committed an unpardonable sin."

"Sun Yiluo, Jiang Ya, Guo Hai! You three have committed such unforgivable sins, yet you refuse to kneel. Do you wish to have your entire clans annihilated?"

Shu Feng’s expression darkened, a cold glint flashing in his eyes as he roared.

’A person of great integrity!’

A sense of absurdity washed over Sun Yiluo and the other two.

With "Demon" in its name, the Bi Yao Demon Sect’s actions naturally leaned toward the Demon Dao. The internal struggles between its True Disciples were exceptionally cruel and intense. Incidents of sabotage and internecine slaughter were commonplace.

As long as there was no conclusive evidence, no one would intervene, even if it was an open secret that one True Disciple had been treacherously killed by another.

It was perfectly normal for those True Disciples and Elders to accept bribes from the various major cities. Sun Yiluo and his two companions had indeed used a vast amount of resources to bribe Yuan Xian’Er and Elder Tuo Mingxia. For Shu Feng to now claim they were people of great integrity was utterly absurd.

"Han Feng, it seems your target was us all along! In that case, I’ll just have to kill you."

Sun Yiluo was a cunning old fox and immediately guessed Shu Feng’s intentions. With a cold smile, he flicked his finger, and a ball of white smoke exploded, hurtling toward Shu Feng.

Shu Feng casually swatted a hand, and a blast of turquoise Profound Qi shattered the ball of white smoke.

As if it had a life of its own, the white smoke bizarrely passed straight through Shu Feng’s protective Profound Qi and seeped into his body.

"Collapse!"

Sun Yiluo pointed at Shu Feng, a cold smile on his face.

The white smoke was called White Corrosive Mist. Once it made contact with someone who had been afflicted with the Sea Saint Ten Erosions Powder, it would instantly activate the poison, causing such agonizing pain that the victim would wish for death. Even a Martial Venerable Realm expert would lose all combat strength, collapsing to the ground to writhe in agony, completely at their foe’s mercy.

"You’re the one who’s going down!"

With a grim smile, Shu Feng exploded into action, slamming into the table and sending it flying. He threw a punch imbued with Great Martial Master Level Profound Qi, blasting it directly at Sun Yiluo.

"How is this possible? You were clearly afflicted with the Sea Saint Ten Erosions Powder! How can you still move?"

Sun Yiluo’s expression changed dramatically. His Half-step Martial Venerable Level Profound Qi surged, and the faint image of a boundless ocean appeared behind him. He thrust out his palm, sending wave after wave crashing directly toward Shu Feng.

BOOM!!

As fist met palm, a terrifying boom exploded through the air. A powerful shockwave blasted out in all directions, shattering a nearby table to smithereens.

The two beauties, Hongye and Huang Ying, were caught in the shockwave from the clash. Their hearts were instantly ruptured, and their lifeless bodies crumpled to the floor.

"How is this possible? Your Profound Qi Cultivation is clearly only at the Great Martial Master Level. How can your Power be so immense?"

The crashing waves vanished. Sun Yiluo was sent flying back dozens of meters like a broken doll, crashing heavily against a wall. He spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Shu Feng’s Profound Qi Cultivation was only at the Great Martial Master Level. He had relied entirely on his monstrous physical strength to shatter Sun Yiluo’s Protective Gang Qi with a single punch. Such Power was nothing short of terrifying.

"I possess Innate Divine Strength and Extraordinary Talent. I slew the Demon Rat of the Twelve Giant Demons while I was still in the Martial Master Realm. If you don’t surrender, all of you will die!"

A cold glint flashed in Shu Feng’s eyes as he strode toward Sun Yiluo.

A vicious glint flashed in Sun Yiluo’s eyes as he roared, "All of you, attack! Kill him! Think of all the dirty deeds we’ve done! If he doesn’t die, we’re all dead!"

As he finished speaking, Sun Yiluo’s Profound Qi surged. The illusion of crashing waves reappeared behind him as he executed the Eight Sea-Stepping Strikes. His Palm Technique changed, becoming a mix of hard and soft, eerie and unpredictable. Profound Qi Vortexes materialized one after another, filled with a strange, twisting power.

The Eight Sea-Stepping Strikes was a peak Martial Technique Sun Yiluo had created by combining countless other top-tier techniques and observing the waves of the Cyan Demon Sea for decades. It was both hard and soft, balanced, mysterious, and unpredictable. Even a Martial Artist one level of cultivation higher than him would not necessarily be his match.

Shu Feng punched into the towering waves and immediately felt a series of bizarre Profound Qi Vortexes manifest, pulling his fist and deflecting it to the side.

The Profound Qi Vortexes collapsed one by one under Shu Feng’s fists, but at Sun Yiluo’s command, they would simply reappear as soon as they were destroyed, seeming endless.

Even though Sun Yiluo’s physique was far inferior to Shu Feng’s, he still managed to tie him down with his formidable Martial Techniques.

A vicious glint flashed in Jiang Ya’s eyes as he frantically channeled his Profound Qi. A spectral image of a Wave-Treading Demon Ape, formed from Profound Qi, materialized behind him, exuding a savage aura. It erupted into motion, and like a rampaging Demon Ape, threw a punch at Shu Feng’s back.

A vicious glint shone in Guo Hai’s eyes as he frantically channeled his Profound Qi. A terrifying Black Flood Dragon appeared behind him, and the Profound Qi around his body solidified into Flood Dragon Scales. Like a humanoid Black Flood Dragon, he commanded the black Profound Qi and slashed a claw toward Shu Feng’s flank.

Faced with a combined attack from the three Grandmasters of Qiguang City, even a Martial Venerable Realm expert would have to temporarily retreat.

"Not bad. The three of you are quite strong! A pity... you’re still too weak!"

Shu Feng smiled faintly, a cold light flashing in his eyes. He activated the power of the Divinity within his body, and faint wisps of light flickered within him for an instant before vanishing.

Shu Feng took a step back, drew the Battle Saber from his waist, and executed the Flowing Light Saber Technique. His blade transformed into a terrifying streak of light as he slashed down at Jiang Ya.

The terrifying blade light flashed across Jiang Ya’s body like a bolt of lightning.

"Such a fast blade!"

An expression of utter disbelief on his face, Jiang Ya’s body was sliced in two. Blood sprayed everywhere as the two halves of his corpse fell to the ground.

After slaying Jiang Ya with a single slash, Shu Feng casually met Guo Hai’s claw with a palm strike. The savage, overwhelming force instantly sent Guo Hai staggering back several steps.

"What a terrifying slash!"

Fear crept into Sun Yiluo’s heart as he witnessed that slash, but he still attacked from an unbelievable angle. He threw a palm strike, and nine Profound Qi Vortexes materialized, blasting viciously toward Shu Feng’s back.
