46: Chapter 46 A Thousand-Year Dream
Feng Jiuri watched the Phoenix Flame sweeping towards him, his pupils shrinking.
Never in his dreams did he expect Xiang Tian to know the Phoenix Slash, let alone be able to unleash such a domineering flame Move.
But he was, after all, an existence invincible within his own Realm, reacting extremely quickly. With a tap of his toes on the ground, he dodged the attack.
The scorching flames grazed past his clothes.
Before he could even catch his breath, nine golden beams of light suddenly shot out from the flames, moving at extreme speed towards his limbs and body.
"Chi, chi, chi—!"
As the golden beams flashed by, nine deep wounds appeared on Feng Jiuri's body, exposing bone, and blood spurted out.
He staggered back, the wounds under his tattered robes still burning faintly.
"What is this?" Feng Jiuri frowned, his eyes filled with shock and confusion.
The speed of these golden beams was too fast; he couldn't see their source, nor did he know what Move it was.
Having fought for years within his Realm, he had never been this disheveled.
"Who exactly are you?" Feng Jiuri could no longer hold back, his voice trembling.
A brat in the Supernatural Realm who not only knew the Heavenly Phoenix Sect's secret technique, the Phoenix Slash, but could also unleash such a bizarre golden beam Move—this defied all logic!
Xiang Tian curled his lips in a mocking smile, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Aren't you invincible within your Realm? Now look, how do I compare to you?"
"You..." Feng Jiuri had never suffered such humiliation, a cruel glint flashing in his eyes.
His ingrained pride would never allow him to lose to a nameless brat. "Since you're looking for death, don't blame me for breaking the rules!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his aura surged violently. The cultivation he had suppressed was instantly released, and the pressure of the Early Stage Martial Emperor Realm swept across the area, causing the ground to tremble.
"Die!" He roared, his right hand condensing a Phoenix Slash several times stronger than before, hacking towards Xiang Tian.
"Feng Jiuri, you broke the rules!"
Mother Feng's eyes sharpened. Without moving her body, she gripped the void with her right hand, condensing a giant energy palm that easily caught Feng Jiuri's Phoenix Slash.
"Bang!"
The deafening roar of the energy collision echoed. Mother Feng flipped her wrist and struck out with her palm, hitting Feng Jiuri square in the chest.
"Pfft!"
Feng Jiuri spat out a mouthful of blood, flew backward, and crashed heavily to the ground, struggling but unable to get up.
"This is a small lesson for you." Mother Feng said coldly, "Since you dared to set the rule of a fair fight within the same Realm, you must honor your loss. Backing out of your word is truly a disgrace to the Heavenly Phoenix Sect!"
She secretly rejoiced that her daughter hadn't married such a faithless man.
"Feng Zhi, are you looking for death, you woman?"
Just then, an angry roar came from the sky, and a majestic middle-aged man in golden brocade robes broke through the air.
"Father!" Feng Jiuri shouted as if seeing a savior, "Quick, help me kill them!"
The man landed beside his son, glanced at the disheveled Feng Jiuri, and his eyes turned cold instantly, looking at Feng Zhi with intense killing intent: "Feng Zhi, how dare you hurt my son?"
"Sect Master of Heavenly Phoenix Sect, you trespassed into my Luo Feng Valley and still dare to speak such wild words?" Feng Zhi sneered, "Aren't you afraid I'll activate the Extinction Array and ensure you and your son never leave?"
"Extinction Array?" Sect Master of Heavenly Phoenix Sect laughed mockingly, "Don't try to scare me! Activating this array requires the life force of half the Disciples in the valley. If you dare to activate it, Luo Feng Valley will be severely weakened, and without me even needing to make a Move, other forces will tear it apart!"
"Our two families are supposed to be allies. You treating my son this way is going too far." Sect Master of Heavenly Phoenix Sect changed his tone, but his eyes wandered greedily over Feng Zhi.
This was the woman he had always desired but could not obtain. He had wanted his son to marry Feng Huowu so he could get closer to her, but now the plan had been ruined by Xiang Tian.
If he could conquer this mother and daughter, Luo Feng Valley would be his for the taking!
"Who is allied with you?" Feng Zhi's eyes turned cold, "Did you kill Feng Yunfeng?"
Sect Master of Heavenly Phoenix Sect's expression shifted slightly, then he shook his head: "Feng Zhi, you can't say such things. Feng Yunfeng was the number one Genius of Luo Feng Valley with profound cultivation; how could I possibly be his match?"
"You had better pray I don't find evidence. Otherwise, I will use the entire strength of the valley to flatten your Heavenly Phoenix Sect!" Feng Zhi gritted her teeth.
Sect Master of Heavenly Phoenix Sect stopped bickering with her, his gaze falling on Xiang Tian, then turning into thick killing intent: "Brat, your talent is quite good, but unfortunately, you shouldn't have offended my Heavenly Phoenix Sect. This Sect Master has remembered you."
"Remembered me?" Xiang Tian raised an eyebrow, his tone filled with undisguised mockery, "Are you hoping I'll go to the Heavenly Phoenix Sect later to help you discipline your son who can't afford to lose?"
"Arrogant!" Sect Master of Heavenly Phoenix Sect's eyes sharpened, his Martial Emperor Realm pressure locking onto Xiang Tian, "A mere Supernatural Realm brat dares to act presumptuously in front of this Sect Master? You're looking for death!"
He flicked his finger, aiming straight for Xiang Tian's brow, his speed reaching the extreme.
"Phoenix Finger!"
"Bang!"
Just as the Phoenix Finger was about to hit Xiang Tian, a beautiful purple figure suddenly appeared out of thin air, blocking in front of Xiang Tian.
That figure was in a purple dress, with stunning beauty—it was Yan Qingyu.
"Sect Leader Yan?" Sect Master of Heavenly Phoenix Sect's pupils shrank.
He naturally recognized this Sect Leader of the Charm Spirit Sect, but he hadn't expected her to appear in Luo Feng Valley and protect Xiang Tian!
Yan Qingyu ignored Sect Master of Heavenly Phoenix Sect's shock and turned to look at Xiang Tian, her tone concerned: "Young Master, are you alright?"
"I'm fine." Xiang Tian smiled, reached out, and pulled her into his arms, "Qingyu, you came just in time. This old thing is in the Martial Emperor Realm; can you beat him?"
"In terms of head-on attacks, I am naturally no match." Yan Qingyu smiled indifferently, "But my Charm Spirit Physique is best at evoking the evil thoughts and desires in people's hearts, causing them to lose themselves in an illusion."
"Oh?" Xiang Tian's eyes lit up, and he smirked, "I'd like to see the dignified Sect Master of Heavenly Phoenix Sect make a fool of himself in front of everyone."
"Xiang Tian!"
An angry shout came from behind. Feng Huowu looked at Yan Qingyu in Xiang Tian's arms, her pretty face flushed red.
This little hooligan was actually hugging another woman in front of her!
Feng Zhi also frowned.
"Huowu, Qingyu is also my woman." Xiang Tian couldn't be bothered to explain, his tone calm, "Whether you agree or not, it's a fact that cannot be changed. Now, let's solve the trouble in front of us first."
Yan Qingyu gently broke free from his embrace, flashed, and turned into a purple shadow, rushing towards Sect Master of Heavenly Phoenix Sect: "Big Dream of a Thousand Years!"
She waved her jade hand, and a mass of purple mist spread out, sweeping towards Sect Master of Heavenly Phoenix Sect.
Sect Master of Heavenly Phoenix Sect tried to block it but accidentally inhaled a trace of the mist. His eyes instantly became blurred, and his pupils turned deep purple.
"Hahaha! Feng Zhi, you're finally willing to marry me!" Sect Master of Heavenly Phoenix Sect suddenly laughed wildly, his expression crazed. He put his hands on his hips and shouted at the air, "Quick, lie down obediently and let this Sect Master pamper you!"
"If it weren't for you always resisting, Feng Yunfeng wouldn't have died! All of this is what you forced me to do!" He said while starting to tear at his own robes, his movements crude.
"You... what did you do to him?" Xiang Tian looked at this eye-stinging scene, his mouth twitching.
"Young Master, I just magnified his deepest desires infinitely, letting him immerse himself in his own illusion." Yan Qingyu explained.
At this moment, Sect Master of Heavenly Phoenix Sect was crawling on the ground, using both hands and feet, still babbling nonsense: "Feng Zhi, don't forget, we are Senior Brother and Junior Sister! Don't you know my feelings for you? I just want your body..."
"This old pervert! He really is the murderer who killed my father. I'll go kill him." Feng Huowu's cheeks were flushed, and she was about to rush over.
She was stopped by Feng Zhi, "Xiaowu, his strength is still very strong, don't go over. Let me go."
However, she was stopped by Yan Qingyu.
"Senior Feng, don't be impatient." Yan Qingyu said, "Wait until he is completely lost before killing him, to avoid a counterattack before he dies."
On the other side, Feng Jiuri saw his father's crazy appearance and wanted to step forward to wake him: "Fa..."
"Phantom Spirit Finger!"
Yan Qingyu's eyes turned cold, she flicked her finger, and instantly pierced through Feng Jiuri's head.
Feng Jiuri's eyes widened, and his body fell softly.
Sect Master of Heavenly Phoenix Sect was still immersed in his illusion, still muttering unbearable words, his body constantly squirming on the ground.
"Damn, is this old guy plowing the ground?" Xiang Tian had black lines all over his head, the scale of this was too much.
"Qingyu, don't let him make a fool of himself anymore, kill him quickly."
"Yes, Young Master." Yan Qingyu nodded, and another Phantom Spirit Finger shot out, piercing through Sect Master of Heavenly Phoenix Sect's brow.
Sect Master of Heavenly Phoenix Sect's body stiffened suddenly, then stopped moving, a crazed smile still remaining on his face, his death state extremely miserable.
"Finally, it's quiet." Xiang Tian breathed a long sigh of relief.
...
Heavenly Phoenix Sect, inside a secret chamber.
"Who killed my son?!"
A deafening roar resounded through the entire Sect, and the stone door of the secret chamber exploded.
All the Heavenly Phoenix Sect Disciples looked in the direction of the secret chamber in horror, their faces uneasy.
"Whose voice was that just now?"
"It's the Grand Elder!"
"The Grand Elder's son... isn't that the Sect Master?"
"Could something have happened to the Sect Master?"
"Someone killed the Sect Master? How is that possible!"
The Disciples were whispering, panic spreading.
The Sect Master was a powerhouse of the Martial Emperor Realm, who would dare to kill him?
Just then, a thin, withered old man flew out of the secret chamber and hovered in the high sky.
His hair was gray, his face was full of wrinkles, but his eyes were as sharp as a hawk, and he exuded suffocating pressure.
It was the Grand Elder of the Heavenly Phoenix Sect.
"Where did your Sect Master go?" Grand Elder Feng Cang's voice was cold, sweeping over the Elders below.
Several Elders hurriedly stepped forward and cupped their hands, saying tremblingly: "Reporting to the Grand Elder, the Young Lord went to Luo Feng Valley to propose marriage earlier, and the Sect Master, worried about the Young Lord's safety, followed him and has not returned yet."
"Luo Feng Valley?" Grand Elder Feng Cang frowned tightly, "Apart from Feng Yunfeng, Luo Feng Valley has long had no geniuses worth mentioning. Who could kill my son?"
He knew his son's strength very well; unless he encountered a Late Stage Martial Emperor Realm expert, he would have no opponent.
"It seems Luo Feng Valley is hiding a formidable figure." Grand Elder Feng Cang's eyes turned vicious, "Daring to kill the Sect Master of my Heavenly Phoenix Sect, I will ensure not a single chicken or dog is left in Luo Feng Valley!"
A terrifying pressure erupted from his body, sweeping across the entire Heavenly Phoenix Sect, and the Disciples knelt on the ground, trembling.
