Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled

After demonization, Elder Chongwu's power surged, vaguely pausing at the peak of the Celestial Tier Fifth Layer Martial Sovereign.

"Such an evil art is truly terrifying. How could the Celestial Tier First Layer directly leap to the Celestial Tier Fifth Layer? What sort of power is this..."

Sun Yazhu swallowed, equally stunned.

Although their Ten Extremes Array could also elevate Xia Feng to the Celestial Tier Fourth Layer, it was a result of their Emperor Level Upper Grade Array, cultivated day and night, enhanced by the unity of ten minds working together.

But for Elder Chongwu to achieve such results with just one secret technique, surpassing the combined force of ten Martial Sovereigns using an Emperor Level Array, on what grounds?!

Is there any sense left!

Watching this being, neither human nor ghost, Xia Feng's expression was also grim.

The wicked energy exuding from Elder Chongwu did not seem of this world. This aura might compare to, or even surpass, the resentment in God Burial Valley.

"Xia Feng, after this demonization, my body will be permanently left with a demon seed. I won't kill you, but I'll cripple you and your wives' limbs, torturing you day and night, savoring your fear every moment!"

After demonization, Elder Chongwu became violent and ruthless, speaking words of extreme evil.

"Attack him!"

The only response to him was Xia Feng's command.

Even a Celestial Tier First Layer Martial Sovereign's demonization, although terrifying in power increase, was not unbeatable for Xia Feng, a Celestial Tier Fourth Layer, along with the ten women and Xiao Jiu!

Xia Feng was the first to charge, facing the demonized Elder Chongwu.

But this demon was entirely different from the previous Elder Chongwu. Xia Feng's Qingxue Sword hacked at his body, but Elder Chongwu did not dodge or avoid, letting Xia Feng's blade strike his physique.

"Ding!"

Xia Feng's pupils contracted—the collision of his blade against Elder Chongwu's body brought no blood, but rather a spark!

"Such a hard body, it could rival Emperor Level Armor!" Xia Feng couldn't help but grit his teeth.

Elder Chongwu's right arm transformed into terrifying claws, wielding no weapon, for his own body was an indestructible Emperor Artifact!

Taking advantage of Xia Feng's attack gap, Elder Chongwu fiercely clawed at Xia Feng's chest.

Xia Feng gritted his teeth, twisting his wrist. Using the strength of the Qingxue Sword against Elder Chongwu's shoulder, he forcefully twisted his waist, flipping in mid-air to narrowly evade the fatal blow.

Yet a piece of flesh from Xia Feng's chest was still gouged away, the golden blood and flesh chewed gleefully into Elder Chongwu's mouth.

"Delicious flesh... Your flesh is truly top-grade; I must breed you to consume your essence blood day and night."

Elder Chongwu emitted a pleasurable moan, yet his words sent chills down spines.

Xia Feng leaped back, gnashing his teeth, staring hard at Elder Chongwu.

In a one-on-one, it's hard to gain any advantage against Elder Chongwu.

His realm was consistently a layer too low. But Xia Feng had a hunch, even if he matched Elder Chongwu in realm, taking him down would be tough.

With that ironclad shell alone, Xia Feng had no way to deal with him.

He began to feel fortunate for having killed Master Qingyang and Ghost Shark before they completed their demonization.

If both had finished their demonization, the ones dying that day would have been them.

Fortunately, Xia Feng had the help of the ten women, Li Qingxue and Yun Xuezhi slashing left and right at Elder Chongwu with a sword and blade.

Yet they quickly ran into the same problem as Xia Feng—they could not break the opponent's defense.

His skin, hard as armor, deflected several attacks from Elder Chongwu, who simply stomped, sending a shockwave that blasted the two women away.

The two women shook violently inside from the terrible impact, unable to hold back the blood pouring from their mouths.

"Don't get close to him, attack from afar!"

Seeing this, Xia Feng felt a pang in his heart and hurriedly shouted to the ten women.

Meanwhile, he flung Xiao Jiu out from his sleeve.

An Earth Tier Ninth Layer Martial Sovereign exotic beast couldn't harm Elder Chongwu, but Xia Feng sought its venom.

If the venom could seep into Elder Chongwu's body and restrain him from within, it might be a good idea.

He regretted somewhat, perhaps should have waited until tomorrow to come.

Currently, he had no Nine Orifice Exquisite Heart within him. If he cultivated tonight and condensed one, the amplification from the Nine Orifice Exquisite Heart would greatly ease the battle.

Meanwhile, outside the camp, Gu Sha and Chen Hongyu's assault had begun.

The defeated army of the Rizhao Empire had not yet recovered from the Great Xia Empire's cavalry charge, only to see a mass of dark iron cavalry break through camp gates, pouncing, throwing the camp into chaos, countless unable to even find their weapons.

Thirty thousand fully-prepared elite cavalry, led by two expert Martial Sovereigns, charged into the enemy formations, slaughtering the Rizhao Empire conscripts like mowing grass.

Two Martial Sovereigns, leading a massive force, rampaged through, and within an incense stick's time, a thousand Rizhao Empire soldiers lay dead or wounded.

The demonized Elder Chongwu also sensed his army's terrible state, instantly frowning tightly, launching himself like a meteor towards Xia Feng.

He needed a swift victory, as his mission held two points: capture Xia Feng, dead or alive, and drive out the Great Xia Empire's army.

Despite his demonization, he maintained his conscious mind, aware of the Rizhao Empire army's critical situation.

If the remaining seventy to eighty thousand were devoured, hope for reclaiming the border was lost.

It's likely the Rizhao Empire's territory would contract by a thousand kilometers, with a third of West Province falling into Great Xia Empire hands.

By then, without launching a super-large-scale war, Great Xia Empire would never yield back the land.

Seeing Elder Chongwu charging with all his might, Xia Feng dared not retreat, biting his teeth and standing his ground against Elder Chongwu in a direct confrontation.

Their clash shook heaven and earth, endless aftershocks vibrating, yet in the encounter, Xia Feng persistently found himself at a disadvantage, even retreating.

Whether in strength or Divine Power Martial Techniques, Xia Feng was outmatched.

Demonized Elder Chongwu wielded a peculiar purple energy, utterly terrifying, as any contact risked unimaginable consequences.

Xia Feng darted frantically through the air, frequently suffering crushing injuries from Elder Chongwu's overwhelming strength, spitting large mouthfuls of blood after each assault.

"Husband!"

Seeing this, the ten women nearly burst into tears.

Yet they dared not close in on Elder Chongwu, so terrifying was the monster; approaching would leave them clueless of their death.

After all, they had transferred all Ten Extremes Array power to Xia Feng.
