The Path of the Martial Arts BOSS

The Shattering Universe Saber slashed out without light, yet it did not cleave through the domain as it used to, allowing Kong Xuankong to leave at will.

The dark cyan aura fiercely suppressed the space, making it impossible for Kong Xuankong to sever and escape.

"Kong Xuankong, did you think this Duke let you escape so many times without a countermeasure?"

"Today, this Ghost God Prison will be your burial hell!"

The unstoppable Big Spear descended, and facing this strike, Kong Xuankong's face was solemn, helplessly saying, "Ah, the feeling of fighting for one's life is always unpleasant."

Before he finished speaking, the pitch-black sabre light rose, revealing a black line within the dark cyan domain. Then the line split, expanding into a jagged fissure.

Whether it was the domain or Luo Feng's spear shadows, they were all swallowed into this fissure.

At the end of the fissure, Kong Xuankong's face was pale, gently uttering the name of this move: "Shattering Universe."

In this case, 'universe' signifies space itself, and this move by Kong Xuankong is an ultimate skill that shatters space.

On the other side, the move unleashing the four tribulations thrust the Divine Captors into a mortal danger, yet this highest leader of the Six Gates showed no intention of surrendering to death.

Incredibly powerful torrents of Qi surged from the Divine Captor's body, expanding into a column of Qi reaching the sky, with Inner Qi flowing inside, carrying a torrential and unstoppable force.

"Heavenly River Reversal."

The reversed Qi wave even broke through the power of the four tribulations, contending against it. The Divine Captain's face was flushed, eyes wide in anger, hands directing the Qi wave to assault the innumerable howling phantoms around.

"Boom——"

A current exploded in the sky, scattering the flying wave of Qi, sweeping away the clouds and the continuous fall of black snow.

The unending tide even counterpressed the four tribulations, crushing the black shadows, attempting to obliterate them together.

But the blade energy that lit up next proved the impotence of the Qi wave.

"Blood Blade Demon Skill."

The Great Evil King, tainted with Saint and Demonic Primordial Blood, erupted with unprecedented Demonic Qi. The blood of these demons made this Demon Sword emit a tremulous yet exciting sword hum, slicing the Heavenly River Reversal tide with a blood-hued blade energy. A massive sword shadow cleaved down directly, where all was thrown into disarray, and Qiankun was overturned.

Sixth Tribulation: Frenzy Evil Sky Flipping.

The Qi strength charged chaotically without pattern, and the chaotic domain gave the Divine Captors a sense of oppressive unease. The shadow of the descending blade made him feel the crisis of impending death.

"Boom——"

A suddenly appearing spear shadow collided with the blade energy, causing the lethal momentum to pour down. Countless Soldier Souls gathered on Luo Feng, rushing forward one after another to assist him as he charged into the chaotic domain.

"Ten Thousand Soul Battle Armor."

The wailing of tens of thousands of souls echoed upon Luo Feng's armor; the resentful souls of thirty thousand elite soldiers slaughtered on the ground were also absorbed by Luo Feng into his armor, unleashing immense force.

Qing Yu felt a restlessness stirring within, wishing to use "Heavenly Demon Slaying God Method" to contend with the Duke Shenwu. But he suppressed this impulse.

"Heavenly Demon Slaying God Method" isn't meant for this alias, and it cannot be exposed.

"A bunch of slackers." Qing Yu cursed inwardly while infusing True Qi.

Kong Xuankong is excusable since he just used an extremely powerful move. What is happening with Zhu Tian and Ming Rui fighting for so long without subduing him? Where did the previous disdain for Ming Rui go?

Even slacking off was not supposed to be done like this.

"Divine Captors, go!"

Luo Feng once again drew upon the power of Soldier Souls, his spear withstanding the blade energy as green flames fueled by Death Qi rose fiercely three meters high, pushing away the flying Blade Energy all around.

"Boom——"

The giant spear split the blade energy, Luo Feng retreated swiftly, carrying the pale-faced and ashen Divine Captors, and broke through the air.

"Tsk, they escaped rather fast!" Qing Yu slowly lowered his sword, the wounds in his palm caused by the use of the Blood Blade Demon Skill rapidly healing.

With two helpers dropping the ball, Qing Yu had no interest in foolishly pursuing, especially since Luo Feng still had strength left.

Though Divine Captors was one of Qing Yu's major rivals, this time he overburnt his essence blood to contend with Qing Yu, damaging his fundamental Primordial Energy, which wouldn't recover without long-term rest.

"Just let Luo Fengzi escape like that?" Kong Xuankong sheathed his sword and approached, inquiring.

"Luo Feng should be one of the Netherworld Palace, likely holding a place among the Ten Kings. You try chasing," Qing Yu said.

The martial arts used by Luo Feng later all carried a strong Death Qi. Only Netherworld Palace martial arts among the world had such aura.

If one were to chase, what if intercepted by the Netherworld Palace? None of the Ten Kings of Netherworld Palace are to be trifled with. Earlier, they dared to simultaneously attack Dragon Tiger Mountain.

"Uh..." Kong Xuankong was at a loss for words, "forget I said anything."

At this moment, brilliance flickered from another side, and between the dancing lights and shadows, Zhu Tian, with her graceful form, slowly stepped forward, carrying the barely alive Ming Rui in one hand.

"I am truly at fault, it took so much effort just to deal with Ming Rui." Zhu Tianying bowed gracefully, her voice containing endless sorrow.

"Don't bother with such Bewitching Technique before us," Qing Yu said flatly, "Though we failed to capture the Divine Captors and Luo Feng, the Divine Captors were severely injured and wouldn't take action for a while. As for Luo Feng..."

"The fact that one of the Ten Kings of Netherworld Palace has blended into the Daqian Military is both unexpected and, in a way, expected."

Unexpected because no one thought Luo Feng would be from the Netherworld Palace. Expected because Netherworld Palace cultivations require Death Qi and resentful souls, and the battlefield is the best place to obtain Death Qi.

This world is neither too small nor too large. At least for a Divinity Realm warrior, they can traverse the majority of the Central Plains within a day.

The Central Plains isn't that vast a stage; if someone were to slaughter and cultivate Ghost Path martial arts on a large scale, it wouldn't escape the major sects and the court.

Relying on natural disasters seems unreliable, so joining the military and obtaining Death Qi resentful souls in the battlefield is indeed a wise choice.

'There might be other Netherworld Palace members in the Daqian Military, and they must have some connection with the Daqian Court; otherwise, Luo Feng wouldn't have saved the Divine Captors. Seems like I'll have to inquire about this with the Shadow King later.'

While pondering, Qing Yu addressed Zhu Tian: "What do you plan to do with Ming Rui?"

"Kill him, I suppose. Seems he's of no use."

A casual remark followed by a subtle exertion of palm force directly snuffed out Ming Rui's Vitality. Though she had been slacking off, the Qi force on Ming Rui was genuine. Now, with a slight stir, the already near-death Ming Rui's Life Fire was extinguished.

Once someone who betrayed Mountain River Academy for a better future and greater ambitions, he now lay dead in this desolate wilderness. It's unknown if he had any regrets before dying.

"The Daqian Court's strategy to transition to Shu Province has failed, now, the chaos in the Western Regions will be unstoppable," Zhu Tian said, tossing Ming Rui's corpse aside.

"Is that truly so?" Qing Yu looked into the western sky, "I, however, believe there remains an element of change."
