Chapter 128: Li Xingjian Explodes Again

Qin Feng knew these two people all too well.

The Evil-Eyed Corpse Child, You Qing!

And as for the silver-browed man, even if he were reduced to ashes, Qin Feng would still recognize him!

The Sect Master of the Shu Sword Mountain, Li Xingjian!

What he had not expected was that Li Xingjian would actually come here together with You Qing of the Earth Corpse Sect. To see them acting as if they had traded their swords for silk, chatting and laughing, was utterly shameless.

"Well played, Li Xingjian!"

In his heart, Qin Feng cursed every one of Li Xingjian's ancestors down to the eighteenth generation.

What a hypocrite, this supposed leader of the righteous path, draped in fake benevolence!

It was a disgrace to Zhan Bai! It was a disgrace to all those who had perished in the wars between their two factions!

Everything was done to satisfy the selfish desires of these high-ranking figures, while their disciples were merely pawns and cannon fodder, possessing no value even in death.

Although the two walked along chatting and laughing, they were clearly in disharmony, putting on a performance while calculating against one another. Regardless, seeing a righteous master and an evil cultist together was deeply unsettling.

After entering the depths of the demon cave, the pair was clearly taken aback by the scene before them.

Since the previous waves of visitors had already taken most of the eggs, only the smallest blood-colored egg and a white egg remained. However, both were located deep within the cave. It would be impossible to retrieve them without paying a price.

Qin Feng sneered in his heart.

No matter how high their cultivation was, they could not resist the temptation of these eggs. They would certainly join forces to seize them, and what Qin Feng had to do was wait and see if he could strike them with a heavy blow when the opportunity arose. Of course, the prerequisite for everything was his own safe escape.

The two had not expected anyone to have beaten them to it, ravaging the demon cave to this extent. Of the seven eggs, only two remained.

One blood-red, one white.

The whereabouts of the other five were unknown, which infuriated them. After all, this ancient battlefield had been discovered within the borders of the Yunqi Kingdom, and naturally, the items belonged to their two factions.

Anger was one thing, but the situation was already set, and there was no way to salvage it. Fortunately, two eggs remained. The two men stared at the eggs, each harboring their own ulterior motives.

"Brother You, why don't we join forces?" Li Xingjian feigned a carefree attitude and was the first to propose the idea.

The Evil-Eyed Corpse Child stared at the golden ancient talisman with his vertical pupil for a long time, then glanced warily at the pitch-black, bottomless demon cave behind it before nodding.

They were both cautious and careful. These old monsters who had lived for hundreds of years were no fools; faced with absolute profit, they would naturally make the most beneficial choice. They could even temporarily set aside years of hatred to work together.

Although Qin Feng was quite far away, he could only watch carefully. There was no other way; under the watchful eyes of these two old monsters, he had to be cautious.

After a brief conspiracy, the two began to retrieve the eggs. Both were at the Tiangang Realm, their cultivation on par, though their techniques were formidable. Li Xingjian excelled in swordsmanship, while You Qing possessed strange, mystical arts. Together, they complemented each other well.

However, the mysterious demon creature behind the golden talisman, having been provoked, was truly enraged this time.

The sounds of rumbling, roaring, sword strikes, and spectral wails were incessant! For a time, the cave shook violently, as if it were on the verge of collapse.

Although he was too far away to see clearly, Qin Feng did not show any signs of anxiety. He remained motionless, not even activating his Purple Heavenly Eyes, simply lurking in the shadows. He knew now was not the time; he had to wait for the perfect moment to pull the rug out from under Li Xingjian and You Qing!

"Zhan Bai, today I will make your hypocritical master pay another installment on his debt!"

His eyes were clouded with blood-red mist, but Qin Feng struggled to control his emotions, careful not to reveal a shred of killing intent. Those two old monsters were not ordinary people; to plot against them, he had to endure, endure, and endure again.

Wait for the chance!

At this moment, Qin Feng was a lurking ghost wolf, waiting for his prey.

The roaring grew louder; clearly, the difficulty of retrieving these eggs was several times greater than for the previous groups. Even with their combined efforts, they could not gain the upper hand against the mysterious demon. Furthermore, it had taken them several times longer than the others.

Qin Feng pricked up his ears, listening intently. A muffled groan drifted over.

"Heh, someone is injured!"

Qin Feng was delighted, but this was only the beginning. Inside the cave, flashes of green light and billowing demonic energy alternated with blood-red clouds and lightning, turning the place into a chaotic, earth-shaking battlefield.

"Pfft!"

Another sound of someone coughing up blood reached Qin Feng’s ears. He felt a surge of exhilaration. Though he did not know which one was bleeding, neither of them were good people, and it would be wonderful if one of them died!

Qin Feng was silently cheering the demon creature on. These two old things were definitely not cooperating in good faith; when faced with profit and danger, they would surely make trade-offs. As long as he added a little fuel to the fire at the critical moment, cracks would surely form between them.

He silently waited, his mind full of schemes.

Inside the cave, the battle continued, growing more intense by the second. Blood mist had already begun to permeate the outer areas, clearly a sign that You Qing was unleashing powerful, sinister arts. Qin Feng could vaguely see a tall, ferocious monster appearing within the mist. This was not the creature sealed in the cave, but one summoned by You Qing at a great cost. Meanwhile, a blinding light like lightning darted through the mist, countless bolts of electricity resisting the swarms of green ghostly fire.

Truly, this was a battle between Tiangang Realm experts! It was terrifying!

However, after a short while, the shadow of the monster in the blood mist suddenly shattered. Immediately following, a massive thunderous crash erupted, accompanied by a deafening roar. The remaining two eggs were blasted out, but the blood-red egg flew toward the depths of the cave, completely swallowed by the endless darkness. Only the white egg flew outward toward the cave entrance.

A streak of lightning surged forth, chasing the white egg; another blood shadow—You Qing—followed close behind, severely injured and clearly having been backstabbed, roaring and cursing Li Xingjian incessantly!

Behind them, a massive green demonic claw shattered with a "bang," transforming into countless twisted, hideous demon-fire heads that flooded toward them, blotting out the sky.

Qin Feng narrowed his eyes, a smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

Only one white egg had flown out! And these two old monsters had already turned on each other, fighting desperately to claim it!

Qin Feng knew his chance had arrived!

Yes, right now!

The white egg was exposed, but neither had secured it yet. At this moment, their attention was entirely on the egg and the countless demon-fire heads chasing them from behind; they naturally had no mind for anything else.

Qin Feng quickly removed the large black cloth.

Three flames, each with a different shape and color, instantly hovered in the air before him. Qin Feng’s expression hardened, and he brought his hands together. The three flames intertwined rapidly in his palms, and in just a moment, a destructive force of fire surged from his hands.

"Triple-Elemental Flame Burst!"

"Li Xingjian, last time I killed your puppet using a Dual-Elemental Flame Burst. This time, taste the power of the Triple-Elemental!"

His eyes shone with cold, piercing light. The tri-colored fire orb took shape, with three flames swirling like dragons within it.

"Go to hell!"

His right arm bulged, and he executed a powerful throwing motion.

"Speed of Heavenly Fire!"

The flames left his hand and vanished instantly!

In the next moment, they appeared deep inside the cave, right in front of Li Xingjian. This was the second transformation of the Heavenly Fire; as the number of flames increased, the speed increased tenfold! It was as fast as a teleportation!

The sudden appearance of the fire orb shocked Li Xingjian out of his wits, for he had seen this very thing not long ago! Its power was truly terrifying. Back then, his puppet had faced a dual-elemental burst, but this was a triple-elemental!

Most importantly, it had appeared at this critical moment—trapped between the demon and his rival, a disaster had struck out of nowhere!

Li Xingjian’s eyes constricted!

The triple-elemental flames exploded instantly, engulfing him completely! You Qing, behind him, also paled. A flash of light from his vertical pupil caused the surrounding space to ripple with strange green waves, neutralizing much of the shockwave from Qin Feng's blast. Even so, the impact was so immense that You Qing was also swallowed by the powerful fire.

Qin Feng’s strike was a case of killing two birds with one stone!

The demon cave, already ravaged by so many, was hanging by a thread. Qin Feng’s final explosion was the last straw, causing the cave to collapse in a catastrophic manner, completely sealing You Qing and Li Xingjian within the depths of the cavern.

And that spot was right within the attack range of the demon creature.

In this state, with both severely injured and having turned on each other, it would be impossible for them to escape alive without paying a heavy price.

"Hmph, Li Xingjian, let's see if you die this time!"
