Chapter 1438: Life for Life

Dong!

The void trembled violently!

Even the trajectory of the Divine Skill Thunder Fist as it came down shattered the space into visible cracks!

The pressure it emitted was so overwhelming that even Dong Tenglong, a Peak Mystic Heaven Position cultivator, could hardly bear it.

“Ancestor Junlin is showing his true power. This time, that bastard is definitely dead,” Dong Tenglong muttered to himself, eyes filled with frenzied madness, staring intently at the center of the battlefield.

Ancestor Junlin’s strength was already among the top three of all Ancient Kings in the Dong Family, not to mention now he was unleashing the most formidable power of Tu Mo’s Treasure Cover, in a state of demonic frenzy!

If even this couldn’t defeat Chen Fei, in his view, it was absolutely impossible!

Chen Fei would undoubtedly die!

At the same time, feeling the formidable power coming at him, Chen Fei’s heart was filled with anxiety and heaviness.

This kind of attack indeed possessed supreme might; if hit, severe injuries would be a minor issue, there was a great possibility of instant death.

“Looks like I have no choice but to fight,”

Chen Fei gritted his teeth, looking at the Imperial Star King Sword in his hand, he murmured, “I’m sorry.”

As soon as the words fell, the Imperial Star King Sword in his hand shattered on the spot, revealing strands of ultimate power capable of collapsing space from the broken parts of the sword! Sharp and domineering, terrifyingly boundless, causing Dong Junlin’s face to change.

“You dared to shatter the Imperial Star King Sword?” Evidently, he hadn’t expected Chen Fei to be so willing, to shatter a half-step supreme spiritual artifact just like that.

And now, the final power released from the shattered Imperial Star King Sword, its sparkling afterglow, might be able to contend with his Tu Mo’s Treasure Cover.

Bang!

On this side, Chen Fei also began to take action. The ultimate power of the Imperial Star King Sword fluctuated violently, and the god within seemed to come alive, forming a domain of swords, filled with billowing sharp airstreams, stirring the heavens and universe.

Soon, this power collided with the strongest punch fired by Dong Junlin in his demonic state…

Instantly, the world fell silent!

Then, a terrifying aura erupted, causing the void to collapse, engulfing both Dong Junlin and Chen Fei.

“Not good! Ancestor…” Seeing this scene, Dong Tenglong’s face changed dramatically, rushing up immediately.

He understood that at this point Ancestor Junlin must have been severely injured along with Chen Fei.

It’s just unclear how bad the injuries are.

But soon the tragic state of both Dong Junlin and Chen Fei came into view.

Chen Fei charged out of the destructive collision, but he was covered in blood, his body nearly collapsing. If not for the strength of his body, he might already be dead now.

Yet even so, the severity of his injuries left no room for doubt.

Pu-tsss! On the other side, Dong Junlin was missing half his body, his skull shattered by the destructive impact. Brain matter splattered, body parts separated, in tatters…

Clearly, being the third strongest among the Ancient King Level experts of the Dong Family, one of the hegemons of Demon Territory Mountain, Dong Junlin could not withstand this round of impact and was killed right here.

In fact, the impact received by Chen Fei and him was the same, but Chen Fei’s physical quality and strength were at least ten times his! Just barely saving his life.

And this is what makes body refining cultivators the most enviable and jealous.

Too hard to die, even in a life-for-life exchange, generally speaking, it’s the enemy who suffers.

“Ancestor!” Seeing Dong Junlin’s death, Dong Tenglong’s pupils dilated momentarily, and needless to say, the death of such a powerful figure was an enormous loss for the Dong Family, even reaching an almost unacceptable level.

However, he then noticed the ‘half-dead’ Chen Fei, his pupils chilled, and he charged straight at Chen Fei.

“Bastard, I’ll make you pay now!” Vast spiritual light emanated from his hand, within which appeared a flashy tiger-headed broadsword… clearly, it was also a half-step supreme spiritual artifact-level treasure.

Shoo!

Dong Tenglong reached Chen Fei’s front in less than half a second.

Half a second later, Dong Tenglong was already in front of Chen Fei, hair flying wildly, eyes as sharp as a knife, and in an instant slashed towards Chen Fei’s head! Intent on taking Chen Fei’s life.

At this moment, Chen Fei was clearly exhausted, unable to muster any strength. He wanted to evade, but now he had no energy left.

But in the next instant, an unexpected turn occurred!

Clang!

The piercing sound of metal clashing, Dugu Qing actually blocked Dong Tenglong’s deadly strike with a sword.

Chen Fei was momentarily stunned, surprised as he looked at Dugu Qing in front of him, clearly not expecting her to intervene to save him…

“You wretched woman, what do you think you’re doing?” Watching his deadly strike being blocked by Dugu Qing, Dong Tenglong’s pupils contracted, shaking with rage, he yelled at Dugu Qing.

This was the best time for him to kill Chen Fei, otherwise, if he waited for Chen Fei to recover a bit, wishing to kill him would be nothing but a daydream.

But this perfect opportunity was now blocked by Dugu Qing, how could Dong Tenglong not be angry?

“Get lost!” Dong Tenglong slashed wildly with his sword, the terrifying power bursting into the void, like a madman.

But Dugu Qing did not dodge, trying his best to resist.

“You can’t kill him!” Dugu Qing said coldly.

“Can’t kill him?” Dong Tenglong laughed angrily and glared at Dugu Qing, “Dugu Qing, don’t forget your identity, you are my fiancée…”

“That was just a decision made by those above, it has nothing to do with me!” Dugu Qing replied coldly.

Dong Tenglong’s pupils contracted, and he stared coldly at Dugu Qing, “Dugu Qing, what do you mean by that?”

“Still don’t understand? You want my body to evolve your Demon Dragon King Physique, but unfortunately, that’s just wishful thinking!” Dugu Qing stated firmly. She had never given up resisting, and now she seemed to see some hope.

“You, good, good, very good…” Dong Tenglong did not expect Dugu Qing to say such things, trembling with anger. Using Dugu Qing’s special physique to aid in his Ancestral Reversion Demon Dragon King Body was the consensus between their two families, but this wench dared to resist…

“Wretched girl, you will regret this!”

Dong Tenglong stared at Dugu Qing with a hideously distorted face, as if he had suffered betrayal, an ultimate insult.

Soon, his gloomy and murderous twisted gaze fell on Chen Fei, saying sharply: “And you! Killing Ancestor Junlin, our Dong Family definitely won’t let you go, absolutely not!”

With these words, he actually turned and left! Without the slightest hesitation or lingering.

“Left?” Watching Dong Tenglong’s departing back, Chen Fei murmured in surprise, then couldn’t help but shake his head regrettably, “He really is a smart man…”

As it turns out, when he emerged from that destructive collision earlier, he had quickly consumed a Golden Pattern Level supreme healing pill.

And now, he had recovered some strength; if he were to fight, Dong Tenglong would certainly die without a doubt.

However, Dong Tenglong chose the most cautious approach, he fled…

Then Chen Fei shook his head, no longer pondering these matters. To him, Dong Tenglong was just a minor character, whether he fled or not made little difference.

Soon, his gaze fell onto Dugu Qing’s face beside him.

“Honestly, I never thought you’d step out to save me.” Chen Fei said softly.

Dugu Qing’s gaze flickered, and she said slowly, “Are you okay?”

Chen Fei shook his head, then nodded, and said, “Forget it, what happened before is wiped clean.”

Upon hearing this, Dugu Qing’s expression finally softened a bit, with faint ripples in her eyes, she said, “There are other experts from the Dong Family in this secret realm; if Dong Tenglong calls them over… you better heal yourself first.”

“Mmm.” Chen Fei nodded, knowing Dugu Qing was right, he immediately sat down cross-legged to begin his healing.

Just like that, several days had passed in the blink of an eye.

“Whew!” Exhaling a long breath of foul air, Chen Fei awoke from his meditative state.

“Alive again.” Recalling the battle from several days ago, Chen Fei still felt a lingering fear. To be honest, his victory was entirely due to luck, including favorable timing, location, and people.

Even so, he barely survived by the skin of his teeth. Dong Junlin was just one move short; otherwise, it would have been Chen Fei who perished.

“Huh?” Suddenly, Chen Fei raised his eyebrows, remembering the Supreme Spiritual Weapon, Tu Mo’s Treasure Cover from that day.

Woosh!

Chen Fei soared into the sky, searching the previous battle area, but found nothing.

This was when Dugu Qing appeared before him, handing him a porcelain cover with slight cracks on its surface.

“Is this what you’re looking for?”

Chen Fei was slightly taken aback but accepted the porcelain cover, murmuring as he examined the cracks on its surface, “It still got partially broken…”

The fact that such a powerful Supreme Spiritual Artifact was cracked shows how terrifying and ferocious that battle was.

Even though he obtained the Supreme Spiritual Weapon, repairing it would be troubling.

Enlightened Deity is not a cultivator known for refining artifacts and seems uninterested, so his only option would be to seek help from outsiders, finding a refining Grandmaster to help.

Then, Dugu Qing suddenly asked Chen Fei, “Can you tell me, what is that?”

She pointed to the Void Qilin Beast corpse in the pool, her eyes gleaming.

The battle that day was so terrifying and happened right above the giant beast’s corpse, yet its fur remained intact, showing how fearsome the beast was in life…

“That’s the corpse of a Void Royal Clan’s Void Qilin Beast.”

Hearing Dugu Qing’s question, Chen Fei did not hide anything and spoke plainly.

“Void Royal Clan? Void Qilin Beast?” Dugu Qing’s face was full of confusion; she still wanted to ask, what is that? But felt she had too many questions and kept silent.

“You can think of it as akin to the True Dragon Clan among the Dragon Clan, or the Demon Emperor, Demon Saint bloodline in the Demon Clan.”

Chen Fei remarked, causing Dugu Qing’s mouth to open wide, almost shocked speechless, stammering.

“True, True Dragon Clan? Demon Saint bloodline?!”
