"Kid, there's no use in provoking me. I know the Great Xia Empire has sent reinforcements. Why don't you just call them out?"

Elder Chongwu remained completely unfazed, instead pretending to be calm and composed as he attempted to bluff.

"The Empire sent reinforcements? How come I don't know about it?" Xia Feng scratched the back of his head, then spread his hands wide. "I'm just here to gather some intel. Do you really have to be this cautious, old geezer?"

Elder Chongwu's actions left Xia Feng speechless.

Before the ten maidens arrived, he actually lacked the strength to kill his opponent, but Elder Chongwu's refusal to make a move was beyond his expectations.

"Hmph, little thing, would you dare come to my camp alone to spy on me without relying on something?" Elder Chongwu sneered, "I won't make a move. If you want to bring others to kill me, then go ahead and do it."

Xia Feng twitched the corner of his mouth. He initially wanted to test the old geezer's strength, but now it seemed unnecessary.

"Alright, since you won't make a move, neither will I. Let's just wait it out."

Xia Feng crossed his arms, then leaned back against a post outside, coldly watching Elder Chongwu.

The old and the young stared at each other, both with palpable killing intent in their eyes.

Yet, it was bizarre; neither showed any intention of striking, as if they could kill each other with just their gazes.

Elder Chongwu felt something was off, but he couldn't figure out what exactly was wrong.

As for Xia Feng, he was silently waiting for the ten maidens to arrive; he couldn't handle Elder Chongwu on his own now.

Once the ten maidens arrived, and the Ten Extremes Array augmented his power, he was determined to knock a few teeth out of the old geezer's mouth.

The night wind blew past, and the two remained silent, staring at each other in the darkness, creating a perfect scene.

Approximately three minutes later, ten streams of light flashed across the sky, and the ten maidens of exquisite beauty landed steadily in front of Xia Feng, their beautiful eyes frosty as they looked at Elder Chongwu.

"Ten Earth Tier Martial Sovereigns... and not a single Celestial Tier. Is this the confidence you're relying on?"

Looking at the ten people, Elder Chongwu was even more bewildered. He had thought Xia Feng would call upon a more powerful existence, perhaps even a Celestial Tier Fifth Layer expert.

Even though he hadn't made a move against Xia Feng, he had secretly pulled out an Tier Eight Top Grade Spirit Movement Talisman, ready to escape if things went sideways.

But after all that waiting, why had only ten Earth Tier Martial Sovereigns shown up?

If it came down to a life-and-death battle, even if these people joined forces, they'd still be doomed.

Celestial Tier Martial Sovereign, their divine might immeasurable!

"Husband, he's holding an Tier Eight Top Grade Spirit Movement Talisman, don't let him escape!" The Celestial Talisman Saintess Li Shiqing, with her strong perception, immediately caught the fluctuation of the talisman hidden behind Elder Chongwu's back and quickly warned.

"So you were prepared to run at any moment, huh? Are you part mouse?"

This was unexpected for Xia Feng. Thinking of Elder Chongwu's cautious demeanor before and the Tier Eight Spirit Movement Talisman in his hand, Xia Feng couldn't help but let out a derisive laugh.

Elder Chongwu looked furious, his aged face turning slightly red with anger.

He was a dignified Celestial Tier Martial Sovereign, yet here he was, clutching a Spirit Movement Talisman like a scared mouse, confronted by ten Earth Tier Martial Sovereigns.

This was somewhat disgraceful.

"No wonder you've survived tens of thousands of years; you flee faster than a rabbit at the slightest uncertainty."

Xia Feng shook his head and sighed.

"Silence, you brat! How would you understand the wisdom of not putting oneself in danger? Whatever you're planning, staying alive is the most important thing!"

Perhaps feeling exasperated, Elder Chongwu lost his usual composure and pointed at Xia Feng, scolding him furiously.

"What does it have to do with me? Not running earlier was your biggest mistake. Take your wisdom and ponder it in your next life. To me, you're still not thinking deeply enough. My beloved wives, assist me!"

Xia Feng shook his head and suddenly a sharp light erupted in his eyes. He turned to the ten maidens behind him and shouted.

The ten maidens immediately nodded, then channeled all the Spiritual Qi from the Ten Extremes Array into Xia Feng, causing the golden light on his body to flare up again, instantly reaching the Celestial Tier Fourth Layer Martial Sovereign realm!

"What!?"

Elder Chongwu's pupils contracted sharply. He never anticipated Xia Feng had this hidden card.

Without hesitating further, he immediately infused spiritual power into the Spirit Movement Talisman in his hand. Against a Celestial Tier Fourth Layer Martial Sovereign, keeping a safe distance was crucial!

But...

Elder Chongwu was bewildered. He had clearly infused his spiritual power into it, yet the Spirit Movement Talisman refused to activate.

"I've sealed the spiritual power in your talisman, don't think you can escape!"

The Celestial Talisman Saintess Li Shiqing's beautiful phoenix eyes coldly fixed on him. Her hands were clasped together, having already altered the rune script on the talisman in Elder Chongwu's hand.

The inscriptions had been erased, and the Spirit Movement Talisman's effects were nullified.

The Celestial Talisman Saintess Li Shiqing, who had delved into talismanic arts all her life, had penned no less than a hundred thousand talismans.

Now at the Earth Tier Martial Sovereign realm, modifying a talisman's script was nothing significant for her!

"So, you shall die!"

Xia Feng, like a golden War God, leaped into the air, his Qingxue Sword aimed straight for Elder Chongwu.

If this strike landed, Elder Chongwu's fate would match that of Master Qingyang: cut in half!

Elder Chongwu gritted his teeth, then swiftly made an unexpected move.

A black crystal blade was thrust directly into his own heart.

Almost immediately, his skin transformed from dry to hard, and then became grotesque.

"Demonization?"

Xia Feng's eyes narrowed, quickly recalling the demonization techniques of Master Qingyang and Ghost Shark.

In the sky, that evil and bizarre aura cast itself again, sending a chill through Xia Feng's heart and causing dizziness.

Elder Chongwu's body rapidly grew densely packed scales, and from his spine emerged a massive, barbed tail.

His blood-red eyes and the foul saliva dripping from his mouth incited terror.

"He completed demonization almost instantly; it's much faster than Qingyang and Ghost Shark!"

Yu Siya frowned and couldn't help but shout at Xia Feng, "Husband, it's the black crystal in his hand! That thing aids in demonization!"

Xia Feng nodded grimly.

The black crystal, embedded in Elder Chongwu's heart, emitted bursts of Demonic Qi as it gradually embedded itself into his chest, transforming into a Demon Crystal.

"Even the Cyan Emperor doesn't have many of these Demon Crystals, and I was only given this one for this mission... Xia Feng, forcing me to this point, you should be proud."

Elder Chongwu's voice had turned chilling, and his appearance was terrifying and bloodthirsty.
