Chapter 1784: Chapter 1784: The Fall of Zeng Xingtian

Countless flames were absorbed into Li Feng’s body, and instantly, Li Feng’s physical body couldn’t withstand this immense energy. Even the dual-core Golden Core in his dantian couldn’t devour and digest the flood of flames.

In an instant, Li Feng seemed to be consumed by his own flames.

The phrase "to be hoisted by one’s own petard" seemed perfectly applicable.

However, just when Li Feng seemed on the verge of collapse, the innate talent of the Vermilion Bird Bloodline, the Vermilion Bird Undying Body, restored everything once again.

Li Feng’s flesh instantly transformed into a body of flames. When he broke through the limits of his physical body, the endless sea of fire around him was instantly devoured by Li Feng.

In a moment, the flame power that couldn’t be compressed and digested directly caused Li Feng’s form to expand. From his previous height of only 1.9 meters, he rapidly swelled, and in no time at all, Li Feng transformed into a flame giant.

Although Li Feng’s physical body collapsed, his consciousness was unprecedentedly clear. The flame giant formed by devouring the sea of fire within dozens of miles contained immense energy.

"Zeng Xingtian, take another sword from me."

With unprecedented strength, Li Feng raised his hand once more, and instantly a massively imposing giant flame sword formed, then slashed directly at Zeng Xingtian, who had condensed the Stream Sword Intent.

I’m ignorant of the Sword Dao, and don’t care for things like Sword Intent. Li Feng’s aura is about being domineering; no matter how strong you are, Li Feng will crush you head-on.

No matter what stands in his way.

The flame giant sword instantaneously descended, and Zeng Xingtian snorted coldly, raised his hand, and waved his sword. The River Stream Sword that gathered the power of many rivers instantly appeared in midair, directly meeting the flame giant sword.

In an instant, the clash of two formidable Sword Intents erupted into a shockwave of icy fire.

The flame giant sword instantly turned into a sky full of fire rain, yet Zeng Xingtian’s Stream Sword Intent did not collapse; Zeng Xingtian sneered at the corner of his mouth.

Looking showy, do you really think bigger means stronger?

However, this time Li Feng wasn’t at his wit’s end. With one sword broken, he simply swung another. Anyway, this power is external and doesn’t belong to him. It’s there to use, so why not use it, since absorption isn’t an option.

The flame giant in which Li Feng had transformed swung his sword again, with almost no gap between attacks, like a ruffian in a brawl, hitting hard as soon as he gained the upper hand.

One sword, followed by another.

Zeng Xingtian was overwhelmed, watching Li Feng’s furious attacks. Though they were crude, they couldn’t be ignored, as he seemed to have fallen into Li Feng’s rhythm.

"Let’s see how long you can hold out." 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Zeng Xingtian gritted his teeth, believing the situation should have been well in hand. Yet, Li Feng managed to counterattack.

Damned.

But each time the flame giant that Li Feng had become struck, his form reduced by a circle. Initially over ten feet tall, after seven or eight swords, Li Feng was just over two feet tall.

"Heh, we’ll see who bites the dust first then."

Seeing Zeng Xingtian’s Stream Sword Intent weakened after successive blows, his Stream Sword was far less formidable than before, with its Sword Qi visibly reduced.

Li Feng sneered at the sight, and abruptly, his over two meters high flame form began to solidify, gathering into his physical body once again.

All the flame power was infused into the King Sword in Li Feng’s hand, instantly turning the blade crimson, accompanied by Thunder Light.

Thunder Flame.

Destructive.

This sword was Li Feng’s trump card, the domineering Thunder Flame fused with the Thunder Pill and Domineering Purple Flame. Li Feng’s body, like a flash of Thunder Light, arrived in front of Zeng Xingtian, then thrust the sword.

Zeng Xingtian raised his hand to parry with his sword.

But the sword was as fast as a star, piercing through Zeng Xingtian’s sword in an instant, and simultaneously impaling Zeng Xingtian’s Protective Gang Qi, penetrating straight through Zeng Xingtian.

The destructive Thunder Flame entered Zeng Xingtian’s body, swiftly flowing through his meridians and blood vessels.

"You—"

Zeng Xingtian couldn’t believe he was counter-killed, even though he had reached the late stage of the Golden Core, the opponent could actually kill him.

Li Feng looked at the incredulous Zeng Xingtian, glancing coolly: "Who told you that the Vermilion Bird Bloodline was my final trump card?"

Zeng Xingtian’s eyes widened, yet Li Feng didn’t give him the chance to speak. With a turn of the wrist, the sword instantly shredded Zeng Xingtian’s internal organs; Zeng Xingtian didn’t have the Undying Body, and with his organs shattered, he was gravely injured.

Zeng Xingtian tried to self-destruct his Golden Core, but Li Feng’s destructive Thunder Flame paralyzed all his nervous systems and meridians. His consciousness remained, but his body was uncontrollable.

As for his Golden Core, it was engulfed by the Thunder Flame, turning directly into nourishment, devoured.

This was truly Li Feng’s trump card—strengthening himself through devouring.

Li Feng pulled out the King Sword, and Zeng Xingtian’s Golden Core was also snatched by Li Feng, absorbed into his own dantian. A Golden Core from the late stage of the Golden Core wasn’t easily devoured.

At this moment, beside Li Feng’s dual-core Golden Core, appeared an additional Golden Core, yet this Golden Core was only nourishment, its energy continuously being consumed until it eventually exhausted and crumbled completely.

Without his Golden Core, Zeng Xingtian was unable to resist the devouring Thunder Flame, turning instantly into nourishment that spilled onto the earth.

With Zeng Xingtian dead, Li Feng also stumbled, supporting himself with the King Sword. This time, he had exerted his greatest strength, finally counter-slaying Zeng Xingtian.

The guy was still too arrogant and underestimated his opponent.

Previously, Li Feng had been continuously beaten into flight by his opponent, indeed due to lacking strength. It was likewise to make Zeng Xingtian believe victory was assured, his subsequent flight and counterattack had the purpose of lulling Zeng Xingtian, and was also Li Feng’s only perceived way to break the impasse.

If he hadn’t managed to kill Zeng Xingtian this time, then Li Feng would have to resign himself to fate.

Luckily, Zeng Xingtian only assumed Li Feng had grown stronger due to the Vermilion Bird Bloodline, unaware of how Li Feng obtained it.

Probably no one would think about this point, so Zeng Xingtian underestimated Li Feng, ending up killed by him in the final moment.

If he had gone all out from the start, fighting like a lion hunting a rabbit, Li Feng wouldn’t have been able to hold on, even with an undying body.

However, Li Feng’s momentum strategy succeeded. The Purple Flame had devoured the surrounding bamboo forest, not only providing Li Feng with firepower but also evaporating all moisture in the air.

This increase and decrease made Li Feng stronger, while Zeng Xingtian’s Sword Intent was weakened. Although not by much, it was enough to tip the scales of power, deciding life and death.

Yet just as Li Feng caught his breath, a chill rose sharply along his back.

Behind him.

Someone was there.

When did they arrive?

Li Feng felt a shiver down his spine, and in the next second, with a sharp maneuver and a flicker, he swept the King Sword’s Sword Qi frosty across in front of him.

Yet, the person who appeared behind Li Feng raised a hand, stretching two fingers to clamp onto Li Feng’s King Sword, the domineering Sword Qi on the King Sword and Thunder Flame directly attacking the person.

"Oh, that’s interesting."

"Who are you?"

Li Feng looked at the virtually unscathed opponent, shock filling his heart. They were unafraid of the Thunder Flame.
