Chapter 94: A Final Struggle Before Death

BOOM!!!

The entire cavern trembled violently as three terrifying waves of energy erupted at the same time.

The stone walls shook as countless cracks spread across the surrounding rocks, while small pieces of stone fell from above and shattered against the ground.

Ye Wuxie stood several dozen meters away from Long Feng, his face pale from the injuries he had already suffered, yet his eyes were filled with a vicious and almost fanatical light.

The three triangular crimson-gold talismans floated around him.

Each one was covered with countless ancient-looking lines that seemed to move whenever spiritual energy flowed through them. Crimson light continuously circulated across their surfaces, while golden runes flashed between the intricate patterns.

A faint crimson-gold thread of energy connected all three of them, forming a complete triangular barrier around Long Feng.

Ye Wuxie’s eyes became colder.

"Hahaha..."

His cold laughter echoed through the cavern.

"Long Feng, do you really think I’ve been standing here doing nothing?"

His fingers moved rapidly. The moment he completed the final hand seal, the three talismans suddenly trembled.

BOOM!!!

A terrifying pressure descended.

Ye Wuxie’s expression became vicious.

"Together, even a top Nascent Soul Realm expert would have to take them seriously!"

The moment his voice fell, the three talismans erupted simultaneously.

BOOM!!!

Three enormous beams of energy shot toward Long Feng from three different directions, completely sealed every possible way.

Long Feng’s expression finally became solemn. He could genuinely feel danger from these attacks.

’So that’s why he waited until now.’

It seems that Ye Wuxie had deliberately waited till now.

He had waited until Puppet Wang was no longer beside him.

He clearly understood that fighting Long Feng together with Puppet Wang would make killing him far more difficult.

All for this single moment to finish him off.

’Quite clever.’

A cold light flashed through Long Feng’s eyes.

’Unfortunately, you’re still too late.’

Long Feng slowly raised one hand. Spiritual energy violently surged through his arm, transformed into a crimson colored beast-like claw.

The five fingers of the claw were covered in dark scales, while terrifying demonic energy continuously leaked from between them.

"You think that Earth-rank technique can save you?"

Ye Wuxie immediately recognized it. His expression changed slightly, but then he sneered.

He had seen Long Feng use it before and knew its power.

However, before Ye Wuxie’s voice could completely fall, something suddenly changed inside Long Feng’s body.

The sealed blood essence that had been quietly suppressed within him suddenly trembled.

A terrifying force erupted from his body.

BOOM!!!

An enormous demonic aura surged into the cavern. The spiritual energy surrounding his arm became increasingly violent.

The originally Sky Demon Claw suddenly began to expand, its aura rose rapidly, until it could even match against a terrifying Heaven-rank skill.

Its five fingers seemed capable of tearing apart the sky themselves.

Every single claw contained terrifying destructive power, and the surrounding air seemed to tremble beneath its pressure.

"What?!" Ye Wuxie’s pupils shrank.

The gigantic black claw suddenly moved. It tore through the air and directly grabbed toward the three crimson-gold talismans.

The triangular formation violently expanded.

Crimson and golden light intertwined across the cavern as countless runes appeared around the three talismans.

The formation was clearly attempting to resist the incoming claw.

Ye Wuxie desperately circulated his spiritual energy. His face became increasingly pale.

"Hold it!"

The three talismans resisted for several breaths.

However, the Heaven-rank level Sky Demon Claw was simply too powerful.

KACHA!

A crack suddenly appeared across one of the talismans.

This made Ye Wuxie’s heart sank.

As it didn’t take long before another crack appeared, then last one also.

Long Feng slowly clenched his fingers. The gigantic demonic claw followed his movement. Its five fingers tightened around the three talismans.

BOOM!!!

The three terrifying talismans exploded simultaneously.

A destructive shockwave swept through the entire cavern.

"AHHHHH!"

Ye Wuxie’s scream was drowned beneath the explosion. His body was thrown backward like a broken kite.

Blood sprayed from his mouth as his body crashed into the stone wall with enough force to create a massive crater.

BOOM!!!

The surrounding rocks collapsed around him. For a long moment, there was no movement. Then a weak breath escaped from beneath the rubble.

Ye Wuxie’s body slowly fell forward. Almost his entire body had been destroyed. One of his arms was twisted unnaturally, while countless wounds covered his chest.

Blood continuously flowed from his mouth and nose, even his soul had become extremely weak.

"How..."

His voice was so weak that it almost disappeared beneath the sound of falling rocks.

"How could I lose..."

His eyes contained disbelief.

Long Feng walked toward him. His footsteps were slow and steady.

Ye Wuxie watched him approach. He wanted to escape or resist. But his body no longer responded.

As Long Feng stopped several meters away, he looked at Ye Wuxie’s ruined body. For several breaths, there was no movement.

Because he could feel that Ye Wuxie’s breath going weaker and weaker. And finally, there was no longer any visible.

’He’s dead.’

After such injuries, even a Golden Core cultivator would have no chance of survival.

Long Feng was about to step forward to check his remainings, but at that exact moment—

WHOOSH!!!

A tiny black light suddenly flew out from Ye Wuxie’s shattered body.

Long Feng’s eyes narrowed. The black light moved extremely quickly. However, the moment it appeared, Long Feng’s spiritual sense detected it.

’Soul energy?’

His expression became cold. Without hesitation, Long Feng swung the ancient spear.

CLANG!!!

The black light was struck directly and metallic sound echoed through the cavern.

The unknown metallic object was violently thrown across the ground.

"ARGHH!"

A painful cry suddenly came from it.

Long Feng’s eyes narrowed. He immediately looked over and found a small black cauldron was lying on the ground.

It was extremely old. Its surface was dark and dull, and several faint marks covered its body. At first glance, it looked like an ordinary scrap cauldron that could be found anywhere.

There was nothing particularly impressive about it.

However, Long Feng’s gaze became strange.

The spear had struck it directly, yet there wasn’t even a scratch on its surface, let alone damage.

That’s too odd!

’This thing actually blocked my spear without any damage?’

Long Feng walked closer. Then he heard another faint sound.

"Ugh..."

The voice was extremely weak.

Long Feng immediately understood. The cry had come from inside the cauldron.

’So you’re hiding inside.’

A cold smile appeared on his face. Without saying anything, Long Feng raised the ancient spear again.

BOOM!!!

He thrust it directly toward the black cauldron.

CLANG!!!

The spear struck the cauldron. The small black cauldron flew several meters away.

"AHHH!"

A miserable cry came from within.

Long Feng’s eyes immediately brightened. He had guessed correctly.

Ye Wuxie’s remaining soul was inside.

The cauldron itself seemed completely unharmed, but the terrifying impact of Long Feng’s attacks was clearly being transmitted into the space inside.

Another painful groan came from the cauldron.

"Stop..."

Ye Wuxie’s weak voice echoed from within.

"Wait..."

Long Feng did not answer. He raised the spear again and another thrust landed, sent flying once more.

"ARGHHHH!"

Ye Wuxie’s soul screamed in agony.

’Interesting.’

His lips curled upward.

Somehow, he was really starting to vibe with this now.

As he raised the spear again to continue this play, a faint black mist slowly emerged from the cauldron.

It gathered in the air and gradually formed a tiny human-shaped soul.

It was Ye Wuxie.

But compared with his original soul, this remnant was pitifully weak.

His figure was translucent. His face was distorted from pain. His soul body flickered continuously as though it could disappear at any moment.

The reason he had survived until now was because of the remnant Will from his previous life.

Normally, this remnant Will could protect his soul and allow him to escape from almost any ordinary situation.

But now, Long Feng had already closed that path for him.

Long Feng’s smile disappeared. A terrifying aura suddenly emerged behind him.

BOOM!!!

The surrounding space seemed to darken.

An enormous shadow appeared behind him.

It was ancient and terrifying, carrying an incomparably supreme majesty that seemed to come from a being standing above countless living creatures.

The Demon Emperor’s Will!

Ye Wuxie’s tiny soul trembled violently. His eyes were filled with disbelief.

"This..."

His voice shook.

"How can you possess such a Will?"

Ye Wuxie stared at the enormous shadow behind him, then realization suddenly appeared in his eyes.

"You... are you also a reincarnated expert?"

Ye Wuxie’s voice became increasingly frantic.

"No wonder..."

"No wonder you could cultivate so quickly."

"No wonder your physical body is so abnormal."

"No wonder you possess that terrifying flame, that strange soul power, and now this..."

His eyes stared at Long Feng in disbelief.

"Are you hiding a previous life too?"

"You talk too much." Long Feng looked at him calmly.

Ye Wuxie’s expression changed.

"Wait!" He desperately retreated. "If you are also a reincarnated expert, then we can cooperate!"

His voice became hurried.

"You don’t understand what is waiting ahead. The Central Region is only the beginning. There are realms beyond what you currently know. If you spare me, I can tell you everything I know!"

Long Feng’s expression remained indifferent.

"Unfortunately, I’m not interested."

Ye Wuxie’s soul trembled.

"Long Feng! You’ll regret this!"

"Perhaps."

The Demon Emperor’s Will moved. The enormous shadow opened its mouth. An abyss-like force suddenly erupted.

Ye Wuxie’s soul was dragged forward.

"No!"

He desperately struggled.

"WAIT!"

"Long Feng, stop!"

"I can give you cultivation techniques! I can give you treasures! I can tell you ancient secrets!"

Long Feng’s eyes remained cold.

"You should have thought about that before trying to kill me."

BOOM!!!

The enormous shadow swallowed Ye Wuxie’s remaining soul.

His final scream echoed through the cavern before abruptly disappearing and silence returned there.
