Chapter 47: A Matter of Life and Death

“Haha, die for me!” The Divine Envoy, fully dominating the battle, gave Dongbo Xueying no chance to catch his breath. He darted forward as well, wielding his twin axes in a direct horizontal slash.

Mid-air, Dongbo Xueying twisted his body abruptly. His long spear, like a venomous snake leaving its den, instantly lunged forward!

Xiu!

A one-handed thrust! Fast, and fully exploiting the spear’s length, it nearly instantly reached the Divine Envoy’s face.

“Brutal, so fast,” the Divine Envoy thought, shaken as he encountered the deadly spear thrust. “Why is his spearplay faster now? It wasn’t this fast before!”

Without hesitation, his pair of blood axes instinctively closed together.

Like two doors slamming shut, completely blocking the spear’s attack path.

“Peng!”

The tip of the spear collided with the axe face. Although this sudden one-handed thrust prioritized speed and surprise over power, which was far less than techniques like sweeping or Cleaveing, it still caused the Divine Envoy to feel a tremor in his blood axes.

“It’s you who should die,” Dongbo Xueying, having just landed, immediately charged again at the Divine Envoy. Snowflakes drifted, and his spear became a blur, launching an assault.

“Dang dang dang…”

In an instant, hundreds of spear shadows enveloped him, even faster than before.

The Divine Envoy was momentarily stunned. He instinctively and frantically blocked, not daring to counterattack. At this moment, Dongbo Xueying’s spear speed made the Divine Envoy feel that if he tried to counterattack, he likely wouldn’t be able to defend himself. “How could his spear speed surge so much? Did he hide his strength before? Damn, how can such a young brat be this strong!”

“Peng!”

After hundreds of furious spear strikes, Dongbo Xueying followed up by rotating his spear and furiously lashing it down at the Divine Envoy.

The Divine Envoy hastily raised both blood axes to block. In an instant, there was a loud “Peng!” sound, and the Divine Envoy felt a surging force transmitted through the blood axes, causing him to stagger backward.

“Peng peng peng.”

Dongbo Xueying alternated between furious lashing, thrusting, and sweeping.

The long spear seemed like a dragon connected to him, attacking wildly and rapidly.

The Divine Envoy continuously retreated, his movements becoming somewhat distorted, and cold sweat dripped from his forehead.

“Hu!”

A sound of wind tearing through the air rang in his ears, and a spear tip instantly pierced through the gap between the two blood axes.

With a “Puchi” sound!

The Divine Envoy’s eyes widened, and his blood axes clattered to the ground with a loud noise that echoed throughout the hall.

…

“Hu.” Dongbo Xueying suddenly pulled out his spear. A large blood hole was in the Divine Envoy’s throat, blood continuously gushing out. He was holding his throat with wide eyes, looking at the terrifying young man in black with unwillingness. He had risen from being a guard of a big family, known for his cruelty, and honored with the title of “Blood Axe Knight.”

For power, he spared no effort.

For a top-tier martial arts manual, he slaughtered a team led by a young master of a big family and tortured them to extract the detailed martial arts manual.

For the divine weapon Blood Axe, he slaughtered an innocent family.

After being sent to the Xihuo World to serve his sentence, he was approached by the Demon God’s people. They promised to help him escape and provided a forbidden technique. Finally, he gritted his teeth and chose to betray the Xia Clan, joining the Demon God as his messenger.

After escaping back to the mortal world with life and death at stake, his injuries were only half-healed, but he Unbelievable!died in the hands of a young spear master with little fame.

“You, you…” The Divine Envoy stared at Dongbo Xueying. Suddenly, he noticed the faint red blood current swirling around the young man in black.

“Primordial… Ancient…” He widened his eyes, but his vision was already darkening, and blood poured out as he spoke. The Divine Envoy stared at Dongbo Xueying. “I, surrender, remember, my name is… Xue…”

Then his body convulsed, and he helplessly collapsed on his knees before falling to the ground with a thud. Blood slowly spread across the surrounding floor.

A great hero, a demon-like figure to ordinary people—

The Blood Axe Knight “Qiu Fan” was dead.

None of the others present even knew his name, including the branch sect guardian “Lu Huairu,” who was unaware of the Divine Envoy’s true origins. The main reason was that after the Blood Axe Knight escaped from the Xihuo World, the Xia Clan was hunting him, so he had always dared not reveal his information.

The only one who recognized Qiu Fan was Tang Xiong, who had lived over 160 years, but unfortunately, Tang Xiong was already dead.

As for Dongbo Xueying, Yu Jingqiu, and Si Bairong, none recognized his identity. After all, he was a formidable figure from a long time ago.

“You’re called Xue?” Dongbo Xueying didn’t hear clearly, slightly shaking his head as he looked at the Divine Envoy’s corpse. “No matter who you are, you’re the first titled opponent I’ve fought. I’ll remember you.”

Saying so, Dongbo Xueying quickly removed the two rings from the Divine Envoy’s fingers. Both rings were storage treasures, easily refined with Fightqi.

“What a large space.”

Dongbo Xueying was somewhat surprised.

The space in both rings was very large, one about three meters in length, width, and height, the other almost the same. This was considered very large among storage magical treasures. Dongbo Xueying’s Feixue Divine Spear had always been carried disassembled on his back because he didn’t have a sufficiently large storage magical treasure. After all, disassembling and connecting takes time, which always somewhat affects critical moments.

“Now I don’t need to disassemble it anymore, I can use it anytime, and I can also carry more javelins.” Dongbo Xueying revealed a slight smile; this was a happy thing for him. Then he began to explore the items within the two rings.

Gold notes, darts, shields, axes, bottles, jars, food, wine…

There were quite a lot of items, after all, three meters in length, width, and height, practically a mobile small warehouse.

…

The entire hall was silent.

Yu Jingqiu and Si Bairong, already hiding behind a pillar in a corner, were holding their breath as they watched the scene afar. In the setting of countless drifting snowflakes, the terrifying Divine Envoy, surrounded by black currents, had his throat pierced by the spear! Dongbo Xueying stood beside, pulling out the spear.

“Did Dongbo Xueying actually win?” Si Bairong held his breath. In fact, when the Divine Envoy used the forbidden technique and Dongbo Xueying’s bloodline power erupted, he couldn’t understand their fight anymore.

Because it was too fast.

Without reaching the titled level, one was an ant before the titled.

The titled level… was the true beginning of forging one’s own path, and even some top-tier ones were no less than extraordinary beings!

“So strong, Dongbo Xueying is too strong. He’s only twenty-two?” Yu Jingqiu was also shocked. She had seen many young talents at the Changfeng Academy, and she herself was hailed as a gifted girl, but she found… Dongbo Xueying was the most amazing genius she had ever seen, a titled expert at twenty-two.

And just now, he had directly killed another powerful titled existence.

Yu Jingqiu felt admiration, and in her heart, she was also grateful because Dongbo Xueying had also saved her.

…

“The Divine Envoy, the great Divine Envoy was defeated? Dead?” Lu Huairu, hiding far away, was stunned. Looking at the Divine Envoy’s corpse bleeding on the ground in the distance, his heart turned cold.

The three gates of the hall had already dropped; previously, to prevent the intruders from escaping, the hall was completely sealed!

It would take too long to open the gates again. These experts sent by the Longshan Pavilion… especially that Dongbo Xueying could kill him instantly.

“Finished.”

Lu Huairu didn’t think of begging for mercy.

Because as the leader of the Demon God’s branch in Qinghe Commandery, his identity doomed him to be spared by no one!

“Damn, damn, damn Longshan Pavilion.” Lu Huairu cast a venomous glare at the three outside, while producing a strange disk in his hand. He emitted a mad, chilling sharp laughter that echoed in the hall. “Hahaha… Let’s die together! Great Demon God, I’m coming!”

At the same time, he suddenly rotated the disk in his hand.
