Chapter 317: Chapter 304: Utter Domination

Qi Feiyu was stunned. He saw Wang Meng’s intention at a glance. ’This kid is actually planning to meet my Flood Dragon Transformation Sword head-on? A guy with only the Twenty-Fifth Layer of Elemental Power... Is he insane?’

Broken Heaven Edge radiated an intense golden light, which was quickly followed by green, then an eerie blue, a blazing red, and a deep yellow, before they all finally merged.

BOOM...

With a furious roar, Wang Meng slashed down.

A world-shaking, killing blow.

WHOOM~~~

Qi Feiyu was blasted back, flying a hundred meters in an instant, gaping in disbelief at the scene before him.

His Flood Dragon Transformation Sword... had been shattered to pieces!!!

Holding Broken Heaven Edge, Wang Meng tilted his head back and let out a long roar that shook the heavens. The surface of the sea buckled under the force of the impact, throwing up countless waves.

An unparalleled display of dominance!

This was the first time Wang Meng had completely unleashed his power—his own power. ’This feels incredible!’

The terrifying power of the Five Elements Technique was now on full display. Wang Meng’s gaze shot toward the distant Qi Feiyu like a bolt of lightning, and Qi Feiyu instinctively flinched away.

He felt an intense pressure, and a sliver of fear took root in his heart.

’How can someone like him exist?’

In a flash, Wang Meng appeared within ten paces of Qi Feiyu.

He swung Broken Heaven Edge with sudden force. BOOM...

Qi Feiyu instinctively moved to parry, only to find his hand empty. In a panic, he immediately threw out a handful of black spheres.

Wang Meng had seen these things before. He was well aware of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect’s tactics. ’The higher their rank, the more shameless they get.’

RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE...

Qi Feiyu survived the attack, but as he stared at Wang Meng, his astonishment grew. He had been tricked!

Wang Meng appeared in front of Qi Feiyu and unleashed another attack. He had no desire to waste time on words. ’Once Qi Feiyu is dead, I can take my time and have a nice long chat with him!’

Under the relentless assault, Qi Feiyu had drawn a spare sword to defend himself. Wang Meng was no longer holding back, unleashing his full power. Broken Heaven Edge hammered Qi Feiyu with a thunderous barrage. ’Even with my power sealed, I am far stronger than my opponent,’ he fumed. ’If I were to die at the hands of someone like Li Jing, it would at least be a worthy end. But to be cornered by some Twenty-Fifth Layer brat... this is a humiliation I cannot swallow!’

SCHLICK...

Blood flew. Qi Feiyu gritted his teeth, stunned. His opponent’s Elemental Power was clearly weaker than his own, yet his attacks were incredibly destructive and his techniques utterly ferocious.

The shock and fury in his heart left Qi Feiyu no room for further thought.

He unleashed a sudden Critical Strike while simultaneously flashing dozens of meters away.

Wang Meng was in the midst of a fierce assault, trying to pin his opponent down, but he’d fallen just short. ’This Qi Feiyu really has a few tricks up his sleeve.’

Qi Feiyu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. "Wang Meng, you really are something else. If you were allowed to live a few more years, never mind the Holy Hall, you’d even have a place in the Cultivation Academy. A pity, but your biggest mistake was shining too brightly. The Cultivation Academy has no shortage of geniuses among geniuses like you, but the ones who survive to the end are few and far between. Do you know why?"

Qi Feiyu looked at Wang Meng, a vicious grin spreading across his face. "It’s because all of you believe too much in your own strength!"

Qi Feiyu carefully took an Eight Trigrams Compass from his Qiankun Bag, his expression growing even more smug. "Let me teach you another lesson. There are no absolutes in this world, especially not when it comes to rules made by men."

He tossed the Eight Trigrams Compass into the sea below. It instantly expanded, and an array stretching for several hundred meters materialized. A dome of light enveloped the area, trapping the two of them inside.

"This is called the Heaven-Deceiving Eight Trigrams Compass!"

Qi Feiyu savored Wang Meng’s expression. Although his opponent remained composed, a flicker of confusion in his eyes quickly turned to something else.

Because Qi Feiyu’s Elemental Power had just broken through the fortieth layer and was still climbing toward its true peak.

"Surprised? Astonished? To be honest, I really didn’t expect to have to use this. This little toy is worth a fortune, and it’s only good for one use—a five-minute use, at that. I’ve already wasted more than twenty seconds, but that’s still more than enough time to finish you!"

Qi Feiyu savored the look of shock on Wang Meng’s face. It was a wonderful feeling, especially since he was about to extinguish the Holy Hall’s great hope. ’This kid must be the Holy Hall’s trump card. A pity he still has to die by my hand. So impatient!’

Wang Meng’s expression grew grim. Against an opponent in the thirties, as long as they were below the fortieth layer, he was confident of victory. But once that line was crossed, the entire situation changed. Wang Meng tried to move, but found his body felt sluggish, almost frozen.

The immense Elemental Power was pinning him in place.

"Go on, struggle. Struggle for your pathetic life. Give me a little entertainment!"

Qi Feiyu closed in, step by step. He loved this feeling of holding life and death in his hands, especially when he could taste his opponent’s despair.

This was the difference in strength. This was the law of the Cultivation Realm. The rules for the strong and the rules for the weak would never be the same.

"You can rest in peace, knowing you died at my hands!"

Qi Feiyu’s Sword Qi fell from above, infused with the might of the heavens.

「In the Hundred Battles Pavilion.」

The atmosphere was heavy. This was true for both the Holy Hall and the Ten Thousand Demons Sect. The disciples of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect were growing unsettled. The fight was taking too long. Logically speaking, with their leader’s power, he should have been able to instantly kill that Wang Meng. Even if he wanted to toy with him for a bit, it shouldn’t have taken this long. Still, their expressions were clearly more confident than those from the Holy Hall.

From the very start, Hex Zui and the others had been clinging to the hope that Wang Meng could pull off a miracle. Hex Zui knew Wang Meng was strong, but he feared his chances of victory were thirty percent at best. Even that wasn’t his biggest worry. What he truly feared was what hidden trump cards Qi Feiyu might have. For someone at their level, who had spent so many years in the Cultivation Academy and the Great Yuan Realm, the techniques they possessed were surely beyond anything they could imagine.

’The longer this drags on, the worse our odds become.’
