Chapter 1315: Thunder Clash

"

Ah!

"

A miserable scream rang out as Mu Feiyang was blasted away like a cannonball, hurtling sideways for over a hundred zhang before finally losing momentum.

When he managed to steady himself again, his entire body was charred black. His clothes were in tatters, his face smeared with soot, and not a trace remained of his former high spirited bearing.

"

Pfft!

"

Mu Feiyang clutched his chest and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. The sword wound across his chest was so deep that bone was visible. The violent flames had scorched the flesh around it until it was blackened and burned.

"Feiyang!"

Mu Renjie immediately flew to his side and supported him, frowning as he asked, "Feiyang, how are you?"

Mu Feiyang clenched his fists tightly and shoved Mu Renjie's hand away. He snarled, "I am fine!"

Ling Feng frowned slightly. Mu Feiyang's physical body truly was formidable. If this were an ordinary early stage Human Emperor, that strike would have been fatal. Yet this man was still able to stand on his own.

In truth, Mu Feiyang had long tempered his body for the sake of sword cultivation. He often trained within violent storms and endured the tearing force of raging winds. That was why his body was so strong.

Mu Renjie pressed a hand on Mu Feiyang's shoulder and said in a deep voice, "Feiyang, that is enough. Let me handle the brat!"

Mu Feiyang turned his head sharply and glared at him. "Elder, are you doubting my ability? This brat is not my match!"

"Again!"

Mu Feiyang shot skyward once more as his aura surged violently. His Human Emperor first level aura suddenly spiked and climbed straight to the second level!

Mu Feiyang had been hiding his strength all along.

Mu Renjie looked at him deeply. He knew Mu Feiyang's temperament well. Proud and ambitious, his heart aimed higher than the heavens. If he could not personally kill Ling Feng, that defeat would likely become a lifelong shadow. If his state of mind remained blocked, breaking through to higher realms would become extremely difficult.

"So be it."

Mu Renjie shook his head. In his view, with Mu Feiyang's powerful physique, even if he truly lost to Ling Feng, his life would not be in immediate danger.

"I underestimated you earlier. This time, you will die without question."

Mu Feiyang's face twisted with rage. His once handsome features turned ferocious. Now he was truly angry.

Ling Feng raised an eyebrow. Mu Feiyang's strength had indeed exceeded his expectations. Yet instead of fear, Ling Feng felt excitement rising within him.

Mu Feiyang was the perfect whetstone for his blade. Ever since advancing to the king tier, Ling Feng had yet to enjoy a truly satisfying battle!

"Wind Thunder Burial!"

Mu Feiyang attacked like a madman. Sword qi crisscrossed around him as violent winds howled and snow filled the sky. His sweeping strike carried flickering arcs of lightning along the blade, radiating an aura of extreme danger.

"So you were hiding thunder power as well."

Ling Feng smiled coldly as his own aura surged outward. "Then let us see whose thunder is stronger. Thunder God Shadow!"

In an instant, violent lightning burst forth from his body and poured through his arm into the Eradicator of Realms.

The damaged Eradicator of Realms let out a faint hum. Streams of purple lightning coiled like dragons and spread across the sky, glowing like sunset clouds as they spanned the heavens.

Bathed in brilliant violet lightning, Ling Feng stood proudly in the air with a thunder sword in hand, resembling a god of thunder whose might shook the world.

"Fall!"

Mu Feiyang roared as wind and thunder surged even more violently. He had never imagined that a mere Spiritual Sea Realm cultivator would force him to reveal his thunder trump card. What shocked him even more was that even after using it, he still could not firmly suppress his opponent.

Because his opponent possessed even more hidden cards than he did!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Wind and thunder intertwined as sword lights collided. Lightning exploded across the night sky as the two clashed with unyielding resolve.

Within the raging thunder, both figures were thrown backward.

Ling Feng retreated about five zhang before coming to a steady stop, standing firm like an immovable mountain.

Mu Feiyang, on the other hand, was blasted away. He smashed through dozens of thick trees before crashing into a massive boulder and spewing another mouthful of blood.

"

Pfft!

"

Mu Feiyang slumped weakly against the rock, his body trembling uncontrollably. Ling Feng's thunder had completely overpowered his own.

At the final moment, a Thunder God Spiritual Manifestation had even appeared behind Ling Feng. When that manifestation emerged, Mu Feiyang knew that this battle was lost!

"Feiyang!"

Mu Renjie roared as he flew to Mu Feiyang's side. He discovered that half of Mu Feiyang's body had caved inward. His meridians were shattered, and countless bones were broken.

With injuries this severe, without immediate treatment, surviving even a day in the harsh environment of Demon Heaven Snow Ridge would be impossible.

"El... Elder... avenge... avenge me...

Pff!

"

Mu Feiyang's breath was already fading. His rage surged uncontrollably. After forcing out those words, he spat out a final mouthful of blood and breathed his last.

"Feiyang! Feiyang!"

Mu Renjie's heart lurched violently, turning cold in an instant.

Mu Feiyang had been on the verge of joining Dongling Immortal Pool as a direct disciple. In the blink of an eye, he had become nothing more than a cold corpse.

"Damn you. You deserve death!"

Mu Renjie trembled with fury. If he had known this would happen, he would never have allowed Mu Feiyang to push himself into this battle.

"Those who kill must be prepared to be killed! When you chose to strike at me, you should have accepted this outcome!"

Ling Feng's expression remained calm and unmoved. In truth, although Mu Feiyang had been gravely injured, his physique alone might have allowed him to cling to life a while longer. Unfortunately, his mentality was too fragile. Unable to accept defeat, he had literally been driven to death by his own anger.

"You killed Feiyang. You will pay with your life! Die! I want you dead!"

Mu Renjie's aura exploded violently. With the power of a peak Human Emperor, killing Ling Feng would be as easy as crushing an ant.

Whoosh!

A fierce wind rushed forward as Mu Renjie flashed in an instant. He swung a fist that carried terrifying pressure and locked firmly onto Ling Feng, leaving him no room to evade.

Before Ling Feng could even react, he was smashed to the ground by the blow. The speed of a peak Human Emperor was simply too fast!

"Brat, you deserve to die!"

Mu Renjie's eyes were bloodshot as he grabbed Ling Feng by the throat and lifted him high into the air. Ling Feng's face quickly turned a deep purplish red. The fingers around his neck were like iron shackles that would not loosen no matter how he struggled.

"Die!"

Mu Renjie's eyes burned crimson. Elemental force erupted from his palm. With a deafening blast, Ling Feng's head exploded, blood spraying outward and staining the surrounding snow red.

"Die die die!"

Even after Ling Feng was killed, Mu Renjie did not stop. He continued to unleash violent attacks on the corpse. The terrifying power made the ground rumble continuously.

"

Tsk tsk tsk.

What kind of hatred is this, really?"

Mu Renjie was nearly mad with slaughter when a lazy voice suddenly sounded beside him. The voice was strangely familiar.

Mu Renjie jerked his head up. Standing before him was none other than the Ling Feng he thought he had just killed.

Mu Renjie's eyelids twitched violently. He looked down and realized that the body he had been brutally attacking was actually Mu Feiyang's corpse!

In the critical moment, Ling Feng had seized the chance when Mu Renjie lost control of his emotions and instantly activated the Nightmare Heart Technique. Otherwise, the one lying on the ground would truly have been him.
