Lei Fengque’s hysterical roar was as though he was finally unleashing his emotions. He had completely lost it.

He was scared witless.

He watched his brothers die one after another along the way. The traumatic scenes of death drove him to the point of breakdown.

“If we didn’t run, we would have died even faster!” Kong Zhao’s voice seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.

His face was livid and contorted with rage, but his heart was almost suffocating with worry and fear.

However, unlike Lei Fengque, he was still able to remain calm and rational.

“Why…why did we provoke someone like him…”

Lei Fengque was distraught.

Cultivation was no easy task. He had put in painstaking effort and hard work to achieve what he had today.

Who would be willing to die just like that?

Bang!

The familiar vibrations of the bow and the whistle of the arrow rang out again.

It was just a sound, but it sent the already panic-stricken Lei Fengque shaking terribly and screaming in a hoarse voice, “I surrender, don’t kill me, don’t...”

Clearly, he had completely broken down. He no longer cared about his image, dignity or fighting spirit. He just wanted to live!

Before he finished speaking—

With a

bang

, an arrow pierced his body and a jet of blood spurted several feet high.

“I really…don’t want to die…”

With a cry of reluctance and fear, Lei Fengque exploded and blood and flesh flew everywhere.

Kong Zhao never looked back once, bolting far into the distance. He could have saved Lei Fengque with his strength, but he knew that doing so would only delay his escape.

This was not because he was ruthless and cold-hearted, but instead he had seen that Lei Fengque’s state of mind had completely collapsed, which meant that even if he rescued him, his cultivation was still doomed to fade and dissipate.

Swoosh!

Lin Xun appeared at Lei Fengque’s site of death. With a flourish of his sleeve, he swept up the spoils before chasing after Kong Zhao again.

In his hand, the No-Nonsense Bow exuded a terribly fierce and malevolent aura.

……

“Jin Duyi is Lin Xun. He holds the treasure of becoming an Emperor and Ancestor. Whoever kills him can get their hands on it!”

While fleeing, Kong Zhao constantly repeated this sentence, spreading the sound waves far into the distance.

He no longer cared about anything else. As the only one remaining, he was on the verge of losing hope and urgently needed help.

Lin Xun, who was on his heels, wore a very cold and indifferent expression. His identity had been exposed, which meant he was no longer afraid of anything in the Ancient Immortal Forbidden Zone. ℟Å

“Where is everyone? Are you all dead?!

“A bunch of trash, are you all too scared to come out after learning about Jin Duyi’s real identity?”

He howled as he fled, but no one got involved. Seeing this, Kong Zhao almost went berserk, feeling the most powerless that he had ever been.

If this was the outside world, based on his status as a core disciple of the Primordial Dao Court, who would dare to mess with him?

Unfortunately, he was about to go mental from being hunted down now. If someone saw this scene, they likely would not believe their eyes.

Bang!

There was another

twang

.

Feeling imminent danger, Kong Zhao unhesitatingly summoned the Clear Frost Dagger and managed to narrowly block the sudden, lethal arrow.

Bang!

The dagger and the arrow met with a violent clang as sparks flared between them.

The incomparably terrifying force knocked the Clear Frost Dagger away while Kong Zhao staggered. He stared at the Clear Frost Dagger, heart aching, but in the end, he had no choice but to give up and run for his life.

Lin Xun appeared and summoned the Dao Endless Pagoda. With a

boom

, he captured the Clear Frost Dagger and suppressed it inside the pagoda.

At the same time, he readied the bow and fired another arrow.

In the far distance, Kong Zhao was shot and caused a dazzling explosion of divine light, but it turned out that his silver-white armor had absorbed the blow.

Even so, the collision sent Kong Zhao propelling across the air like a kite that had snapped its string. Blood trickled down from his mouth and nose.

His face was contorted with disbelief.

Even with his strength, he failed to evade the arrow’s grasp. There was only one explanation for this: the bow in Lin Xun’s hand was an Emperor-grade treasure!

“Lin Xun, there is a group of old monsters waiting for you in the outside world. Even if you kill me, even if you can leave this place alive, you will still meet with calamity once you leave the Ancient Immortal Forbidden Zone!”

As Kong Zhao roared, he transformed into a five-colored peacock and spread his wings and tore through the air, moving much faster than before.

Bang!

In response, Lin Xun shot another arrow, slicing the air with astonishing speed like a rainbow in motion.

Kong Zhao glowed with divine five-colored light as he made a fierce swipe, and he actually slowed the arrow’s flight a little.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he dodged the arrow just in time and made a mad dash once again.

“Lin Xun, if you let me go this time, I swear that I will never be your enemy again in this life. What do you say?” he yelled.

Lin Xun ignored him and drew the blood-red bowstring back again.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

He fired the Biluo Arrow, Moli Arrow, Jiguang Arrow and Pianyu Arrow all in one go.

Kong Zhao’s face blanched. The five-colored feathers around him seemed to be ablaze, erupting with vibrant, blinding light to block the deadly attack.

Bang!

The Biluo Arrow struck first, causing the five-colored divine light to roll violently.

It was immediately followed by the other three arrows. The dazzling five-colored divine light could no longer bear the impact and shattered.

“Ah—!”

Kong Zhao’s tragic shrieking boomed out as two divine arrows pierced his body. He directly collapsed from the void and had no chance of escaping.

Shua!

Lin Xun teleported over to him, his dark eyes cold and indifferent, looking down at the blood-soaked, miserable Kong Zhao who had fallen to the ground, and he softly uttered three words, “Isn’t it thrilling?”

Those three words infuriated Kong Zhao.

When he killed Lu Dubu and Su Muhan, he had also asked Lin Xun in a mocking and triumphant tone whether he found it thrilling.

And now, Lin Xun was humiliating him and trampling on him in the same way!

“Don’t worry, I won’t let you die like this.” As Lin Xun said that, he waved his sleeve and restrained Kong Zhao.

“What do you plan to do?” Kong Zhao’s eyes were about to crack in the corners and blood was streaming down his cheeks.

Lin Xun said indifferently, “I heard that pure-blooded descendants of the Imperial Kong Clan are born with five-colored feathers that shimmer mysteriously with five-colored divine light, so I plan to pluck your feathers first.”

“You—”

Veins popped on Kong Zhao’s forehead, and he repeatedly coughed up blood.

What does this guy think I am? Some sort of rare divine ingredient?

“Besides, I haven’t tasted the flesh of a supreme Saint-King peacock before, I wonder what it tastes like...”

When Kong Zhao heard those words, he looked like he had been struck by lightning.

This guy actually thinks I’m food?

He hissed, “Lin Xun, you will die a miserable death! Just wait, it doesn’t matter whether you can get out of the Ancient Immortal Forbidden Zone or not, you are doomed!”

“Is that right? I only know that you will definitely die before me. Now, let’s send you to reunite with your ancestor. I should ask him what is the best way to cook peacock meat.”

Lin Xun summoned the Dao Endless Pagoda and imprisoned Kong Zhao inside.

Even when imprisoned, Kong Zhao still did not understand what Lin Xun meant by, ‘Let’s send you to reunite with your ancestor.’

“I thought that my descendants had finally come to save me from the verge of death. Who would have thought that it would be a useless piece of trash…”

An extremely weak and gravelly voice drifted in the Dao Endless Pagoda, laced with endless disappointment and hatred.

Kong Zhao raised his eyes and saw a ball of bright five-colored divine light being suppressed not far from him.

Even so, the ball of five-colored divine light still emitted an extremely terrifying aura that contained the purest supreme law power of the Emperor Stage!

“Who are you?” Kong Zhao asked in bewilderment.

“A piece of trash indeed! He doesn’t even recognize his own ancestor...” the weak voice sounded even more disappointed, as though given up all hope.

“You are our founding ancestor?”

Kong Zhao was flabbergasted. The ancestor of the Kong Clan was the renowned Demon-Beast Emperor Dutian, the strongest of the Primeval Seven Demon-Beast Emperors of the primordial times. The mere mention of his name would make the world tremble. Who didn’t know him?

However, Kong Zhao never imagined that he would meet his ancestor in that subdued state.

Unbelievable!

Immediately afterwards, an indescribable feeling of wild joy surged in his heart, and he shouted, “Ancestor, save me! Ancestor, save me!”

“It turns out that you are not only a piece of trash, but also an idiot...”

The voice of Demon-Beast Emperor Dutian was heavy with frustration and sorrow. Nothing was sadder than a withered heart.

It was only after a while that Kong Zhao came to his senses, and his expression changed drastically as he asked, “Ancestor, why are you here? Could it be that you are also...”

At this moment, Kong Zhao’s soul almost left his body. He guessed that his ancestor had suffered the same tragedy as him!

How is that possible?

How can there be a treasure in this world that can suppress our ancestor?

Who the hell is Lin Xun? How could he own so many treasures and each one is as equally terrifying as the other?

“I don’t have much time left. Could it be fate that I met a young man like you when I am at death’s door?”

The voice of the Demon-Beast Emperor Dutian rang out again, “Fine, let’s take a gamble. If it works, I can be reborn. If it doesn’t...it will just be death!”

Kong Zhao panicked, asking in a quavering voice, “Ancestor, what are you going to do?”

However, what answered him was a wave of blinding and boundless five-colored divine light that submerged his entire body and spirit.

“No—! Don’t—!” Kong Zhao roared. He finally realized that his ancestor was trying to reincarnate into his body!

The next moment, his consciousness and primordial spirit were crushed, while his body had become occupied by Demon-Beast Emperor Dutian; he had been utterly annihilated.

It was undoubtedly the cruelest death. It was not much different from murdering your own family!

“Child, you have done something for your ancestor. You should be proud of your death. Hahahaha...success. You finally gave me a glimmer of hope!”

“Ge Yupu, when I recover, I will kill all the bastards of Fangchun Mountain in the world!”

Kong Zhao howled with laughter, but it was just that he had already become a different person, exuding a domineering aura that would alarm the entire world.

Bang!

A beam of dark golden light appeared and lashed hard at Kong Zhao, causing him to shriek in agony. He dropped to the ground, convulsing like a madman.

At the same time, Lin Xun’s voice rang from the outside of the Dao Endless Pagoda.

“Old bastard, you used up all your remaining strength to carry out that reincarnation. Now, you don’t even have the strength to fight back from death’s door. Why are you still so happy?”
