Chapter 73: Jiu Yang Shen Gong

  "How did you end up here too?" Dongfang Hen asked Murong Yu as he caught up.

  "I may not like you, but I'm still a member of the four major families. If the elder finds out that I let a demon kill you, they'll definitely send me to guard the Rear Mountain Medicine Garden." Murong Yu retorted with annoyance: "Don't think I want to save you, I just don't want to become a dull gardener."

  "Murong Yu, I didn't think you had a cute side too!" Dongfang Hen stretched out his large hand and gave Murong Yu's shoulder a heavy slap, causing him to stumble, then grinned widely.

  "As long as I'm not killed by you today, I'll be grateful to heaven! Murong Yu glared at him and drew a soft sword from his waist: "I came out to buy things, so I didn't bring any magical instruments. It just so happens that I've long heard of your magical instrument, the Lethal Sun Pearl, having unparalleled power. Today, let me see it in action!"

  Dongfang Hen heard the words and suddenly stopped in his tracks, his expression extremely awkward, stuttering: "This... I think this task isn't very dangerous, so I didn't bring Lie Ri Zhu."

  "What?" Murong Yu suddenly raised his voice, shouting: "Not even a magic weapon, what can we use to fight against the extremely dangerous person? You want me to die, but I don't want to die yet, goodbye!" After finishing speaking, he turned around and wanted to leave.

  "Hey, don't go! Don't go!" Dongfang Hen grabbed him and said with a red face: "If you leave, how can I fight? You can't just abandon me to death, are you not afraid of being punished by your elder to guard the vegetable garden?"

  "It's the medicinal herb garden behind the mountain, not a vegetable garden." Murong Yu glared at him irritably, shaking her arm, but couldn't shake off Dongfang Hen's hand. She had to stop in her tracks and say reluctantly, "What do you want to do? A+ demons aren't ordinary demons that can be compared to. If we both had magical tools in our hands, we could barely fight one. But now that we're both empty-handed, how are we supposed to fight?"

  “T-this...” Dongfang Hen also knew that he was right, but he just didn't want to let go. He hesitated for half a day before gritting his teeth and saying with a pained expression: “I still have one Jiuyang Qiankun Seal and one Shunjian Qiankun Seal here, should be enough to fight him, right?”

  "Why didn't you say so earlier!" Murong Yu shouted, these Nine Yang Dry Heaven Symbol and Instant Transfer Dry Heaven Symbol are both good stuff. The former can form a powerful flame attack, equivalent to the effect of their two using magic tools together; while the latter is used for escaping, using it once can instantly transfer one to three people to a predetermined location.

  "With these two magical tools, I can finally have a good fight with him. Even if I lose, I can still escape." Murong Yu began to feel a little eager for battle, after all, he was also a young man who had the same desire to compete and show off as others did.

  Jian Dongfang still looked reluctant, and Murong Yu patted him on the back, saying: "You were the one who said you wanted to go and fight that demonic person. If you really can't bear to part with these two Qiankun talismans, then we might as well head back."

  "This was given to me by the master of the house when I came of age at 18, and after all these years, I still haven't been able to bear using it. Who would have thought that today I'd have to use it all up? Of course, I'm going to be heartbroken." Dongfang Hen said tearfully. The Qiankun talisman is not easy to make, and the entire Dongfang family only has about twenty of them, no wonder he's so attached to it.

  "Alright, alright, I still have two Mystic Ice Talismans here. Although they're not as powerful as your Nine Yang Heaven and Earth Talisman, they're also decent talismans." Murong Yu shouted: "Stop putting on that deadpan face! If you don't make a move soon, the demonic cultivators will all get away!"

  "It's possible that this possessed person isn't that powerful, and I won't need to use these two Qiankun talismans after all." Dongfang Hen gritted his teeth and shouted: "Let's hurry up and catch up with him, we can't let him leave this abandoned construction site, otherwise it'll be hard to make a move in crowded areas!" After speaking, he was the first to rush forward towards that possessed person.

  The man in front was not walking fast, and from time to time he would bump into pillars or trip over bricks on the ground. As a result, the two of them finally caught up with him just as he was about to leave the abandoned construction site, and they set up a barrier to prevent the impending battle from being seen by passersby outside.

  "Friend, are you a demonic person? We two have been itching to hunt, wanting to spar with you, let's not waste words, let's start!" Dongfang Xue said in his heart, regardless of whether the other person could understand or not, and then he took a fighting stance ready to begin.

  Murong Yu remained silent beside him, but the soft sword in his hand was stretched straight, obviously having already raised his strength to its highest level.

  The man raised his head, and the completely black eyeballs without any white scanned slowly over the faces of the two people. Even though they were both bold men, being swept by those dark and profound eyes that seemed like bottomless abysses made their hearts involuntarily skip a beat.

  That man was Zhang Feng. On that day, in order to save Tingting, Zhang Feng had no choice but to accept the suggestion of a mysterious figure and grasp that dark energy. At that moment, a massive power surged into his body, causing his internal organs to feel like they were being burned by fire, filled with unbearable pain. Along with the power, hatred, jealousy, bloodlust, and other negative emotions also flowed in, making him almost go mad.

  Zhang Fēng followed the mysterious figure's guidance to find the location of the group that took away Tingting. When he saw the man standing guard at the door, he immediately recognized him as one of the people who took away Tingting. At that moment, his heart filled with hatred made him lose his rationality, and all that was left in his mind was the impulse to crave blood and slaughter.

  Zhang Feng easily twisted off the head of the thug guarding the door, then stormed into the house and killed all the living people inside. When he reached Tingting, she fainted from the bloody scene, and Zhang Feng's heart regained some humanity, so he didn't kill her on the spot.

  Later, I and Wú Chén Zǐ rushed over, Zhang Fēng was struck flying by Wú Chén Zǐ. At that time, his mind was a complete mess, his thinking ability extremely low, but he could still sense that the two people in front of him were not ones he could provoke, so under the drive of his instinct to preserve his life, he used all his strength to shake off my Immobilization Curse and escaped.

  Leaving Tingting, Zhang's mind was a mess, and it was only that one thread of humanity that kept him from going on a killing spree in the crowd. At this time, he was like a dangerous time bomb, and no one knew when he would explode. If that last shred of humanity lost, he would immediately become a bloodthirsty and brutal demon, never to be sane again.

  Dongfang Hen and Murong Yu, however, were unaware of these facts. As the young elites of their respective families, they had long been accustomed to a life of flattery and reverence from others. Now that Dongfang Hen's challenge had not received a response, it seemed to them as if the other was looking down on themselves, and both harbored some resentment in their hearts.

  "Hey, I'm telling you..." Dongfang Hen took a step forward, reaching out to press down on Zhang Chu's shoulder, his palm already glowing with a dark red color as he quietly activated the Dongfang family's Jiuyang Divine Technique, wanting to teach him a lesson.

  Dongfang Hen forgot that the person in front of him was not a junior from his own family whom he used to bully, but rather someone possessed by a demon and listed as an A+ level dangerous individual by the four major families. Although Zhang Kuang's mind was now completely muddled, with almost no intelligence to speak of, his instincts still prompted him to make a counterattack move.

  "Be careful!" Mu Rongyu cried out, at the same time his right hand made a false grab backwards, and Dongfang Xue's sturdy body was pulled by this grab, involuntarily retreating violently.

  At the same time, Zhang's throat, which had been hanging low, let out a low growl, and his left hand shot out like lightning, with a hint of black air visible at the front end of his palm, as if his left arm had been extended by an invisible force.

  "Hey, thanks!" Dongfang Hen stared at his chest in a daze. His shirt had been slashed open like it was cut by a sharp blade, and the edges of the tear were already blackened and rotten. If Murong Yu hadn't pulled him away just now, he would have definitely become a corpse.

  "It seems we're going up together." Murong Yu said with a serious face, his left hand reaching into his bosom to pull out a yellow paper, on which were faintly visible various strange symbols drawn with cinnabar, the very Xuanbing symbol of the Murong family.

  "You're on the left, I'm on the right." Dongfang Hen moved his hands and feet, just now Zhang Feng's attack was too fast, he didn't even see how the opponent made a move, so his face couldn't look good.

  "Up!"

  The two men simultaneously let out a loud shout and charged towards Zhang, with Dongfang Hen's hands flashing a faint red glow. As he moved, a scorching hot air current spread out around him.

  Murong Yu's soft sword, on the other hand, was a stark contrast to his opponent. The silver-white soft sword sliced through the air in a straight line, shimmering with a faint white light, and an icy chill spread out immediately, making one feel the biting cold even from a distance.

  Due to the feud between their families, Dongfang Xue and Murong Yu were sworn enemies on ordinary days, and there was no affection between them. However, since both of them were outstanding figures among the younger generation, they naturally had their own unique skills. Therefore, although this attack was their first collaboration, it turned out to be surprisingly harmonious and natural, as if they had practiced together for a long time.

  Dongfang Hen's palms crossed, heavily slapping Zhang Kuang's left ribs. Between his arms, a red glow flashed, and before his palm even arrived, the clothes on Zhang Kuang's body had already risen with wisps of blue smoke, actually being ignited by the high heat brought by his palm.

  Muyong Yu beside him didn't dare to hesitate, coordinating with his offensive, the soft sword in his hand chopped towards Zhang Kuang's right arm, while his left hand secretly grasped the Xuanbing symbol, waiting for Zhang Kuang to dodge before shooting it out.

  Zhang Feng's face twisted in agony, his forehead bulging with blue veins, his expression painful to the extreme, and he completely ignored the attacks of the two people.

  Just as the attack was about to take effect, a glimmer of joy flashed in their eyes, and they added a few more points of strength to their hands, wishing to get rid of this extremely dangerous monster with just one blow, so that they could go back and brag.

  Just as the two men's attack was about to land, Zhang Feng suddenly raised his head and let out a loud roar. The sound waves rippled outward from him in all directions, causing the seal that Murong Yu had set up earlier to wobble violently, on the verge of collapse.

  Dongfang Xue and Murong Yu, being so close to Zhang Feng, were even more shocked. The two only felt a buzzing in their heads, and for a moment, the sky and earth seemed to be spinning. Naturally, the palm and sword also fell empty.

  The two of them stumbled and staggered far away, taking a long time to catch their breath. They looked at each other on either side of Zhang Fren, both with extremely ugly expressions.

  This demonized person is actually so powerful, just one roar dissolved the attack of the two, from this it can be seen that A+ level dangerous demons are not in vain, the two should first consider their own lives.

  With a loud crash, the boundary that Murong Yu had just set up finally collapsed and shattered. Without the protection of the boundary, the outside world's deafening noise immediately flooded into their ears.

  His face turned red and then pale, he loved to challenge the strong and yearn for battle, but he wasn't an idiot. After witnessing Zhang's power, he naturally wouldn't want to provoke another fight that would surely end in his death. He took out the Instant Shift Symbol from his pocket and signaled with his eyes for Muyong Yu to come over, so they could use the symbol to instantly move back to their predetermined destination - the Eastern Family's headquarters.

  Murong Yu will, quietly towards him this side close to, eye see just about to bypass Zhang Feng walk to Dongfang Hen body side, just see Zhang Feng suddenly double hand hold head squat down body go, mouth in not live of crazy howl, as if is enduring unbearable pain, see this situation, Murong Yu can't help but daze there.

  Zhang Feng is currently in a state of internal conflict, having just been attacked by Dongfang Xue and Murong Yu. The bloodthirsty desire that had been suppressed by his last shred of humanity has finally erupted, and he is now struggling with his remaining humanity for control over his body.

  Although Murong Yu didn't know the pain Zhang Feng was going through at that moment, he could still sense something from his appearance. This made him, who had already given up on trying to surpass Zhang Feng after witnessing his strength, feel a little tempted again.

  "Look at him, he seems to be injured, should we take this opportunity to make a move?"

  Murong Yu slowly leaned in close to Dongfang Xi's side and asked in a low voice.

  Hearing his words, Dongfang Hen was also very moved. After considering for half a day, he finally gritted his teeth and said: "Alright, let's go all out! We'll put in our full effort to land one hit, and if it doesn't work out, we'll use the Instantaneous Transference of Heaven and Earth Symbol to escape."

  "Uh, I'll freeze him with the Mystic Ice Symbol, and then you attack with your Nine Yang Dry Heaven Symbol. If that doesn't work, we'll run." Murong Yu said, taking out the only two Mystic Ice Symbols from his pocket. Seeing Dongfang Hen nodding, he took out a golden talisman and stepped forward, saying anxiously: "Don't forget to prepare the Instant Transfer Dry Heaven Symbol."

  Dongfang nodded, and then took out the Instantaneous Universe Symbol, grasping it in his left hand. Only then did he discover that his palm was full of sweat, and even his back had been drenched with sweat due to tension.

  Murong Yu took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down his excited emotions. He then activated the Eastern family's unique Cold Ice Heart Technique. The two Xuanbing symbols on his hands immediately emitted a faint white glow, and a chilling aura spread out in all directions, causing Murong Yu's hands to be covered in thick frost in an instant.

  "Supreme Heavenly Mystery, Ancient Ice Seal Art, Seal!" Murong Yulang's voice rang out as he shook his hand and shot out the two Mystic Ice Talismans. The talismans paused briefly in mid-air before a brilliant white light burst forth, resembling two small suns as they flew towards Zhang.

  Zhang Feng's hands were still clutching his head, and he was still struggling with the bloodthirsty desire in his heart. He didn't react to the attack at all, but was already sealed in a large ice block amidst the crisp sound of KaKa.

  Seeing Murong Yu's attack take effect, Dongfang Hen no longer hesitated, biting the tip of his tongue and spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood onto the Lihuo Gankyin symbol in his hand.

  He got his fresh blood to help, the fierce fire qian kun symbol suddenly emitted a dazzling red light, and in an instant it turned into blue, causing Dongfang Hen's right sleeve to burst into flames with a loud bang.

  Dongfang Xiuxian was originally practicing the family-transmitted Jiuyang Gong, so although there were flames burning on his arms, he seemed to be fine.

  When the light of the Nine Yang Dry Heaven Symbol in his hand was at its most intense, Dongfang Heng suddenly threw it into the sky while simultaneously pulling Mu Rongyu back who had been retreating.

  The Jiuyang Qiankun symbol rotated in the air for a circle, suddenly transformed into a fireball the size of a car, then rapidly contracted, and the fireball compressed continuously until it turned into a white flame ball the size of a TV.

  Even though they were still ten or more meters away from the fireball, Dongfang Xuesheng and Murong Yu's eyebrows had already turned yellow and curled up, it can be imagined how high the temperature of that fireball was.

  "Break!" Dongfang Hen shouted from a distance, his right hand shaking violently, with a flash of red light on his hand. The fireball in the air immediately seemed to receive some kind of command and swooped down towards Zhang Feng, who was still trapped in the ice.

  A loud rumbling sound, the ground shook violently, Dongfang Hen and Murong Yu lost their footing and fell to the ground. When they looked up again at Zhang Kuang's ice-sealed location, a large pit about four meters in diameter and one meter deep had appeared. The surrounding dust was flying everywhere, making it difficult for people to see clearly for a while.

  Distant shouts of surprise could be heard, apparently someone had discovered the anomaly here and was pointing and gesturing in this direction.

  Dongfang He and Murong Yu couldn't care less about the onlookers, they scrambled to their feet, gazing tensely at the massive crater with swirling dust.

  "Did it succeed?" Mu Rongyu asked in a trembling voice.

  The Eastern Scar stared intently at the large pit, but due to the flying dust, he couldn't see clearly for a while and could only clench his eyes, using all his strength to try to see through the swirling dust.

  "I'll go take a look." Murong Yu was getting impatient, the earlier commotion had already attracted enough attention, and the two of them had to confirm Zhang Chu's life or death before the police arrived, then leave as soon as possible.

  Murong Yu cautiously approached, circled around the big pit, but there was no movement at all. He then let out a sigh of relief, turned around and waved his hand towards Dongfang Hen, shouting: "It should be fine now."

  Dongfang Hen let out a sigh of relief and was about to step forward when he suddenly saw Murong Yu's face contort, his face filled with an eerie smile. He couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine as he trembled and asked: "What's wrong? Is something off?"

  Murong Yu looked at him with a smile that was not quite a smile, and his forehead was already covered in beads of sweat the size of beans. He took a step forward, his throat making a strange noise, but he couldn't say a word.

  Dongfang Hen was frightened by his strange appearance and retreated a few steps, clutching the Instantaneous Transference Symbol tightly in her hand.

  Murong Yu took a few more steps forward, suddenly fell to the ground, scaring Dongfang Hen. Only then did he discover that there was a fist-sized blood hole on his back, and fresh blood was gushing out like a spring, dyeing the ground around him red in an instant.

  Then a figure slowly stood up from the pit, with fresh blood dripping down his right hand, which was none other than Zhang Yue who had been frozen earlier.

  Zhang Feng was now completely charred, and the Nine Yang Dry Heaven Seal had obviously not dealt lightly with him. His eyes, which had no whites to begin with, had turned a bright red, looking like two gleaming rubies from afar. But paired with his charred skin, he looked terrifyingly eerie, like a malevolent spirit.

  At this time, Zhang had completely gone mad.

  Just as Zhang Kuang was hit, it was the most critical moment of his struggle with the bloodthirsty desire in his heart. The fierce fire qiankun symbol of Dongfang Hen did not cause too much harm to him, but it made that thread of humanity a defeat, and now he has been controlled by the bloodthirsty desire in his heart.

  Dongfang Hecan let out a loud cry, and couldn't care less about Murong Yu's life or death anymore. He clutched the Instant Shift Heaven and Earth Symbol tightly in his hand, ready to instantly shift back to the Murong Family headquarters.

  But in an instant, a burst of golden light exploded from the Instantaneous Dry Kun symbol, and Zhang Feng's eyes suddenly flashed with a red glow. Without seeing any movement from him, a black light struck the Instantaneous Dry Kun symbol in Dongfang Hen's hand like lightning.

  With a loud bang, the Instantaneous Transfer Talisman in Dongfang Xiu's hand suddenly shone with a brilliant golden light, then rapidly contracted before exploding again. Dongfang Xiu was caught off guard and his entire body was flipped over twice by the force of the explosion. Although he didn't suffer any injuries, he also couldn't teleport away.

  The only thing that could save his life was destroyed, and Dongfang Hen was instantly stunned, unable to do anything but watch as Zhang Fren, who looked like an African black man, approached him step by step, praying in his heart that he wouldn't suffer too much when he was killed.

  Bang!

  Suddenly, a voice came from the air, and at the same time, a green protective shield appeared on Dongfang Hen's body. A white light shot out and hit Zhang Feng violently, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood and fly backward for tens of meters, crashing into the abandoned construction site's building. Along the way, only the sound of rumbling was heard, and it was unknown how many walls he had smashed through.

  Dongfang Pi originally thought he was doomed to die, but seeing this scene made him stare blankly.

  He and Murong Yu joined forces to attack, and even used the powerful Nine Yang Dry Heaven Symbol, but only managed to make this demon-possessed person turn a bit black, without even bleeding. But the person who saved him was hit by a single blow and spat out blood, seemingly seriously injured. It's clear that the newcomer's abilities far surpass his own, perhaps it's some senior coming to visit.

  "Who was the senior who just helped me?" Dongfang Hen quickly got up, bowed to the empty space and asked respectfully.

  "Dongfang family? Is your family's secret technique the Nine Suns Divine Skill?" A voice came from mid-air.

  Dongfang Hen was greatly surprised, but still replied respectfully: "That's right, senior. You're talking about the Murong family's unique mental technique."

  "It's actually the descendant of Dongfang Long, senior." A low voice came from the air, then the person quickly said: "This is not the time to talk about these things, carry your companion on your back, I'll take you back to treat your injuries."

  "Hey Ao Tian, aren't you going after that person anymore?" Another voice suddenly came from the air, "We promised Tingting."

  "Never mind him for now, saving people is urgent. I added the Clear Mind Mantra to that last blow, let's see if it can restore some of his humanity." The man in front said.

  Dongfang Hen was confused, not knowing what they were saying. He could only obediently carry Mu Rongyu on his back, first stopping the bleeding for him, then standing aside with a serious expression.

  "Let's go back first." The man in front said again, and then shouted: "Go!"

  Two bursts of white light exploded in the sky, and after the white light flashed by, there was no one left on the ground. Dongfang Xue, who carried Mu Rongyu, also disappeared in the white light, leaving behind a four-meter-wide deep pit for curious people to debate endlessly.
