Chapter 485: The Price of Breaking a Promise_1
Qin Feiyang scanned the two beasts, his voice a challenge. "I have but one question for you: do you dare?"
"You no longer have a choice," Lu Xingchen stated with a faint smile. "Because as long as we hide, you can't touch us. Moreover, you've witnessed Qin Feiyang's talent. I guarantee that within five years, he'll reach the War Ancestor realm. We're all Top Grade Alchemists, with enough resources to survive for decades, even centuries. Thinking you can starve us out is pure fantasy. Once Qin Feiyang becomes a War Ancestor, your chances of victory will be even slimmer. Therefore, you have no choice but to agree."
Qin Feiyang added, "He's made it clear enough. I won't repeat it. Think it over carefully!"
The Monkey King and the Sand Python Emperor exchanged glances, their eyes filled with a mixture of indignation and helplessness.
Gritting his teeth, the Monkey King nodded. "Fine, I agree. But what if you don't last ten breaths?"
"If I can't last ten breaths," Qin Feiyang replied, "I'll return that monkey to you and leave this canyon immediately."
The Monkey King declared, "Then it's a deal!"
"A deal," Qin Feiyang concurred.
The Monkey King and the Sand Python Emperor began to communicate telepathically, deliberating over who should fight.
Qin Feiyang took out a rib and handed it to Lu Xingchen, then whispered something in his ear. Lu Xingchen nodded.
A moment later.
The Monkey King stepped forward, his eight enormous eyes fixed on Qin Feiyang. "I shall be your opponent in this battle!"
"You, step back," Qin Feiyang instructed Lu Xingchen.
Lu Xingchen retreated to a safe distance. The Sand Python Emperor didn't move, staying to one side. The shockwaves from a battle between the Monkey King and Qin Feiyang posed no threat to him.
Watching Lu Xingchen retreat, Qin Feiyang took a deep breath, then turned to face the Monkey King, his voice solemn. "Let's begin!"
BOOM!
The Monkey King's aura erupted as he crossed the void in a single step, instantly appearing before Qin Feiyang. His dustpan-sized giant hand smashed down towards Qin Feiyang's head. Surging Battle Intent shook the mountains and the earth! And his speed was so incredible that it was impossible to defend against!
"Fight!" Qin Feiyang roared, staring intently at the Monkey King. Instantly, a bloody mist sprayed from his pores.
BOOM!
Immediately after, an overwhelming Battle Intent, like an erupting volcano, surged from within him—unstoppable!
It was the War Technique!
At the same instant, his long black hair and dark eyes turned a blood-red!
"Hmm?" The Monkey King was momentarily startled by Qin Feiyang's transformation but then scoffed. "No matter what tricks you pull, a loss is a loss. Nothing can change that!"
His giant hand, carrying devastating force, came crashing down!
"That remains to be seen!" Qin Feiyang thrust his palm upward to meet the attack, a golden light flaring from it.
However, compared to the Monkey King's colossal hand, Qin Feiyang's seemed as insignificant as an ant before an elephant.
At that moment, Lu Xingchen's heart leaped into his throat.
BOOM!
The two hands collided in an instant.
Without any suspense, Qin Feiyang, utterly powerless to resist, was struck down, his arm instantly pulverized.
BANG!
He plummeted like a meteor, crashing into the desert below. Instantly, yellow sand billowed, and a sandstorm raged! A deep pit, hundreds of meters wide, appeared.
In contrast, the Monkey King stood motionless in the void, a hint of disbelief in his eyes. During the earlier clash, he had clearly felt a portion of his power rebound.
In other words, the War Technique this opponent is using can reflect attacks!
A murderous urge instantly flared within him. This War Technique was far too terrifying. If they allowed Qin Feiyang to mature and break through to the War Ancestor realm, they might truly be unable to stop him then. He dived, streaking towards the deep pit below.
"Three breaths have already passed!" a cold voice declared.
Qin Feiyang shot out from the sand, drenched in blood. Yet, neither his face nor his eyes showed the slightest hint of weakness. Instead, he appeared invigorated, his Battle Intent soaring to the heavens.
"How is this possible?"
Upon seeing this, the Monkey King, the Sand Python Emperor, and Lu Xingchen were all struck with disbelief.
It had to be known that Qin Feiyang was merely a Six-Star War Emperor, while the Monkey King was a genuine War Ancestor. The difference in their cultivation levels was like heaven and earth. The Monkey King had put his full power into that palm strike; anyone else would have been reduced to dust. Even if not pulverized, they would have been gravely injured and rendered unconscious, or even crippled on the spot.
Yet, Qin Feiyang was as vigorous as ever!
Why?
Not good!
Suddenly, the Sand Python Emperor jolted back to his senses and shouted, "Monkey, five breaths have already passed!"
"Five breaths!" The Monkey King's massive body trembled as he immediately lunged at Qin Feiyang again.
Simultaneously, Qin Feiyang consumed a Rebirth Pill and a Healing Pill. His blood-red hair danced wildly behind him like a river of blood.
He murmured to himself, "War Technique, whether I can endure today depends entirely on you." Then, he looked sharply at the Monkey King, his eyes glinting with fierce determination.
BOOM!
Qin Feiyang charged forward to meet the attack.
"You still dare to charge forward? You're truly courting death!" The Monkey King was enraged. Such actions from Qin Feiyang were, to him, blatant contempt!
Like a great mountain, he descended rapidly from the sky, his bristling, massive foot stomping towards Qin Feiyang's head! He seemed intent on crushing Qin Feiyang's skull!
"Fight!" Qin Feiyang roared, raising his other arm. The Counter Curse Manual appeared on his palm as he struck at the sole of the Monkey King's foot.
BOOM! CRACK!
This arm, too, was shattered on the spot, flesh and blood flying everywhere as he was once again blasted into the desert ground.
"You dare act so arrogantly before me? Are you seeking death?" The Monkey King sneered coldly, then turned to Lu Xingchen, his pupils glinting with murderous light. He had full confidence in himself; Qin Feiyang will definitely die this time!
The Sand Python Emperor also scoffed repeatedly.
Not good. Lu Xingchen's expression hardened. He glanced up at the black storm in the sky, then down at the desert below. Is he really dead? His gaze flickered.
WHOOSH!
Without hesitation, Lu Xingchen shot skyward, rushing towards the black storm. If Qin Feiyang was dead, he would have no place to hide. His only chance to escape the two beasts' pursuit was to take refuge in the storm.
However, just as the Monkey King and the Sand Python Emperor prepared to attack Lu Xingchen, and just as Lu Xingchen was about to enter the storm, a great wave of sand suddenly erupted from below.
A blood-red figure burst forth from the sand. Who else could it be but Qin Feiyang?
He was covered in blood, his injuries extremely severe, yet his sharp gaze showed not the slightest hint of weakness. He stood proudly in the air, looking at the Monkey King. "Where do you think you're going?"
"Not dead?"
"This is impossible!"
The Monkey King and the Sand Python Emperor glared, their eyes wide with utter disbelief. He survived even that? Is this some kind of joke?
Lu Xingchen was equally astounded. The Monkey King's two attacks had both been delivered with full force. If it had been him, he would have had no confidence in withstanding them. No, it wasn't a lack of confidence; he wouldn't have dared to even try! But this Qin Feiyang had actually endured it.
What a monster!
While the Monkey King and the Sand Python Emperor were still in shock, another two breaths passed.
Qin Feiyang's Battle Intent blazed. He sneered, "Nine breaths have passed. Only one breath remains."
"Damn it!" Enraged, the Monkey King's Battle Intent surged forth, emitting a brilliant radiance. Like a pillar of light connecting heaven and earth, it carried a destructive aura as it lunged at Qin Feiyang!
Lu Xingchen shouted, "Ten breaths are up! We've won! Stop immediately!"
"Impossible!" the Monkey King roared.
Far from stopping, the murderous aura around him intensified!
At the same time, the Sand Python Emperor transformed into a streak of light, tearing through the sky as he charged Lu Xingchen.
"Bastards!" Lu Xingchen was seething with rage. "As War Ancestor-level super overlords, you're going back on your word!" Without looking back, he fled towards the black storm.
Qin Feiyang's expression was also grim, but he wasn't surprised. He had anticipated this outcome before the fight even began. That was why he had given Lu Xingchen the rib beforehand. After all, once he engaged the Monkey King, he would inevitably be separated from Lu Xingchen and unable to rescue him in time. With the rib, Lu Xingchen could hide in the storm.
Qin Feiyang glanced at the pillar of light, then at the Monkey King, his gaze frigid. "Are you really determined to fight to the bitter end?"
The Monkey King bellowed, "Hand it over, and I'll leave your corpse intact!"
"In that case..." A cold light surged in Qin Feiyang's eyes. His arm shot out, index finger tapping repeatedly in the void.
—Recall Extinction!
BOOM!!!
Four streams of invisible force, like a tidal wave, swept overwhelmingly towards the ground below.
WHOOSH!
Following that, Qin Feiyang flickered and vanished without a trace.
Just as he disappeared, the four streams of invisible force slammed into the desert.
Instantly, an area several miles wide was engulfed in roiling yellow sand, obscuring the sky!
Amidst the yellow sand, one Winged Sand Python after another exploded and died.
Blood dyed the sand crimson! The acrid stench of blood filled the air!
"Damned human! Get out here and face your death!" The Sand Python Emperor was driven to a frenzy, his long, narrow eyes completely bloodshot.
Lu Xingchen stood beneath the black storm, sneering at the two beasts. "You brought this upon yourselves."
"We'll kill you first!" The Monkey King and the Sand Python Emperor soared into the sky, their bodies radiating Evil Qi.
"Kill me?" Lu Xingchen scoffed. "If you have the guts, then follow me in." He gripped the rib and plunged directly into the black storm.
"He actually dared to go in?" The two beasts were dumbfounded.
The Sand Python Emperor said, "Entering the storm means certain death. We don't need to bother with him."
The Monkey King nodded.
"Is that so?" Lu Xingchen's voice echoed from within the storm.
"He's not dead?"
"How is that possible?"
The two beasts froze, their eyes filled with incredulity.
"Disappointed to hear my voice?" Lu Xingchen taunted. "Since we could descend from above, naturally we have ways to protect ourselves. You couldn't even figure that out? Do you have rocks for brains?"
The Monkey King and the Sand Python Emperor were utterly infuriated. Their Battle Intent surged like a rainbow as they furiously bombarded the black storm.
Lu Xingchen stepped out on the other side of the storm, sneering. "Don't waste your energy. It's useless."
"Come out if you dare!" the Monkey King roared.
BOOM!!!
Just then, several more deafening explosions erupted from below.
The expressions of the two beasts changed drastically. They hurriedly looked down to see that Qin Feiyang had reappeared at some point. His previously shattered arm was fully restored, and he was relentlessly attacking the desert!
The Winged Sand Pythons suffered devastating blows, with innumerable casualties!
"Stop!" the Sand Python Emperor roared in panic.
Qin Feiyang looked up at the two beasts, his face devoid of expression. "This is the price for breaking your promise. Anyway, I have plenty of time. I'll play with you slowly!"
