Disaster has struck!
Who doesn’t know that the Yufeng Clan is tied to the ‘Flying Snow Divine Emperor’? Back then, the Flying Snow Divine Emperor stepped forward to help the Yufeng Clan eliminate major enemies like the master of the Demonic Heart Society. Moreover, the Yufeng Clan’s third young lady, ‘Yufeng Qingyin,’ became a disciple of the Flying Snow Divine Emperor, who has been living in seclusion in Junshan City ever since. Across the entire Divine Realm, all factions likely regard the Yufeng Clan and the Flying Snow Divine Emperor as one and the same.
“Will this implicate our Yufeng Clan?” Yufeng Junshan and Yufeng Lei were both deeply uneasy.
“The Shadow Fiend Sect Master has come to Junshan City… to deal with the Flying Snow Divine Emperor?”
“To demand the Flying Snow Divine Emperor’s death?”
The many powerhouses in Junshan City held their breaths.
Meanwhile, the Shadow Fiend Sect Master continued to gaze down from above, his eyes locked onto the white-robed figure standing in the corridor of the Flying Snow Manor.
“Master, Master, what’s happening? Why is he…?” Yufeng Qingyin panicked. “What should we do? Should we try to escape?”
Over the years, she had truly felt her master’s kindness—countless treasures had been bestowed upon her, and she had come to regard him as the closest of family. But now, the enemy was a perfected Divine Emperor! Ranked ninth on the Divine Emperor Rankings! A terrifying existence standing at the very pinnacle of the Divine Realm. How could Yufeng Qingyin not be afraid?
She was terrified—terrified that her master might die!
“Qingyin, don’t be afraid.” Dongbo Xueying smiled faintly before turning his gaze upward toward the Shadow Fiend Sect Master. With a single step, his figure blurred into an afterimage. Now that his realm had advanced further, he had refined his Void Demon Insect Movement Technique once more. In an instant, a trail of phantoms stretched across the sky as Dongbo Xueying appeared high above, facing the Shadow Fiend Sect Master.
“Shadow Fiend Sect Master,” Dongbo Xueying spoke with a hint of confusion. “I’ve heard of your fearsome reputation. But I have remained in Junshan City, focusing solely on cultivation, unwilling to involve myself in the conflicts of the Divine Realm. Before today, I have never even met you. May I ask why you’ve come to Junshan City seeking my life?”
“Still pretending? My disciple, Qu Chen, was slain—and I have confirmed that it was by your hand.” The Shadow Fiend Sect Master’s blood-red eyes burned with killing intent. “At this point, do you still dare feign ignorance?”
“Your disciple… Qu Chen?” Dongbo Xueying was taken aback.
The Shadow Fiend Sect Master was a figure of immense demonic might, a great fiend who had established his own sect. He had a total of one hundred and three personal disciples!
Moreover, the Shadow Fiend Sect Master was notoriously harsh on his disciples. If they perished while venturing outside, he considered it proof of their weakness and paid it no mind. Over half of his disciples had already fallen. Why would he suddenly come for revenge over a single disciple?
“Could there be a mistake?” Dongbo Xueying frowned.
“There is no mistake. The killer is you! Hmph, Flying Snow Divine Emperor, you dare slay my disciple Qu Chen but lack the courage to admit it?” The Shadow Fiend Sect Master’s killing intent intensified as he scrutinized Dongbo Xueying, poised to strike at any moment.
Dongbo Xueying sighed inwardly.
He had not acted.
Moreover, given his current realm, no causal tracing should have led to him. And the Shadow Fiend Sect Master had never cared about his disciples’ deaths before—why now? And why pin it on him? All of this pointed to one conclusion: this was deliberate.
“Shadow Fiend Sect Master, if you wish to fight, then fight. Spare me the pointless excuses—they only make me think less of you.” Dongbo Xueying’s voice turned cold.
The Shadow Fiend Sect Master paused, then grinned. “Hah! Interesting, very interesting! Then—”
“Enough talk!”
With a flick of his hand, a black spear materialized in Dongbo Xueying’s grip.
**BOOM!!!**
Gripping the spear with both hands, he swung it forward with devastating force.
—
“What? They’re fighting already?”
“The Flying Snow Divine Emperor is attacking first?”
The many spectators in Junshan City were stunned. In their eyes, the Shadow Fiend Sect Master was a perfected Divine Emperor! Facing such a powerhouse, one should try to explain, even offer treasures to appease him. If that failed, the only option was to flee! Who would dare exchange just a few words before launching an attack against a perfected Divine Emperor?
**”Hummm—”**
A grand formation materialized above Junshan City, shielding the entire metropolis.
Meanwhile, Dongbo Xueying and the Shadow Fiend Sect Master clashed high above.
Controlling the formation, Yufeng Lei and Yufeng Junshan exchanged glances.
“Alas, I thought clinging to the Flying Snow Divine Emperor would bring our Yufeng Clan great benefits. And indeed, we’ve prospered—even you, Lei, reached the mid-stage Divine Emperor realm thanks to the treasures he gave Qingyin.” Yufeng Junshan shook his head. “But now, disaster strikes without warning. The Shadow Fiend Sect Master has come for the Flying Snow Divine Emperor’s life. If he turns his wrath on our clan, we stand no chance.”
A single strike—
That was all it would take to reduce Junshan City to dust. In such a wide-ranging attack, only Yufeng Lei, a mid-stage Divine Emperor, might barely survive. But a second strike would surely finish him.
“The Flying Snow Divine Emperor has been in Junshan City all this time. He shouldn’t have any grudge with the Shadow Fiend Sect Master,” Yufeng Lei said worriedly.
“Who knows? Perhaps they had enmity before he came here.” Yufeng Junshan was deeply unsettled. Like many, he believed the Flying Snow Divine Emperor had been concealing his true strength all along. Otherwise, how could his power have risen so swiftly? When he first arrived, he was only an early-stage Divine Lord. Within days, he suppressed the peak Divine Lord ‘Bat Mountain Master.’ And eight million years later, he slew the master of the Demonic Heart Society?
To them, it was obvious—he had been hiding his power from the start.
In truth, his rapid advancement was simply due to Dongbo Xueying recovering his strength after obtaining certain cultivation manuals.
“Ninth on the Divine Emperor Rankings…” Yufeng Junshan’s face paled.
He had no confidence in the Flying Snow Divine Emperor’s survival.
—
**BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!**
The battle raged at blinding speed. Dongbo Xueying manipulated the void itself, containing the shockwaves to prevent them from ravaging Junshan City below.
Though the city’s defensive formation was active, it would not withstand a direct assault from the Shadow Fiend Sect Master’s battle remnants.
The clash was so intense that those below could barely follow it.
Yufeng Junshan, Yufeng Lei, Pavilion Master Xing, Bat Mountain Master, and others craned their necks, watching as explosions of energy lit up the sky.
**”CRACK—”**
A massive slab of space froze like an enormous block of ice, trapping the Shadow Fiend Sect Master within. The colossal ‘ice block’ compressed further, thinning as it sought to crush him.
Yet the Shadow Fiend Sect Master stomped down with his right foot—his leg swelling in size—and the entire structure trembled before shattering apart.
**”Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”**
Dongbo Xueying pressed forward, his spear thrusts forming countless dark void vortices. Each vortex ensnared the Shadow Fiend Sect Master, their centers grinding and tearing at everything within.
In moments, hundreds of these vortices swirled in the sky, merging into an even greater maelstrom that relentlessly assailed the Shadow Fiend Sect Master. His terrifying speed was useless here. The combined force of the vortices shredded his dark-red hide, exposing crimson muscle beneath. Though his flesh was resilient, wounds split open, droplets of blood scattering into the void before being annihilated.
“They can see it now.”
Only after the massive ‘ice block’ had formed did the spectators below finally glimpse the battle above.
And when hundreds of dark void vortices engulfed the Shadow Fiend Sect Master, they were stunned.
“What? The Shadow Fiend Sect Master is wounded!”
“This… this can’t be!”
“The Shadow Fiend Sect Master is actually injured?”
As drops of blood drifted through the sky, the powerhouses of Junshan City stared in disbelief. Even Yufeng Junshan and Yufeng Lei, who had held no hope for Dongbo Xueying, were dumbfounded.
What?
The Flying Snow Divine Emperor was not only holding his own against the Shadow Fiend Sect Master—he was forcing him to bleed? Against the ninth-ranked perfected Divine Emperor?
