Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled-Chapter 319 - 317: Torturing and Killing a Profound Tier First Layer Martial God
Xia Feng was genuinely angry and upset now, his mind filled with the image of his grandfather that day.
If it weren’t for these damned bastards, how would his grandfather have to endure such pain?
Sooner or later, he would make sure every member of the Dongfang Clan went through the same.
Dongfang Hao was sobbing painfully with tears and snot flowing, but with his tongue pulled out, he couldn’t speak at all.
Even if he wanted to beg Xia Feng for mercy, Xia Feng wouldn’t listen, nor would he care.
A faint light shot out from Dongfang Hao’s fingertips, and Xia Feng instinctively dodged.
But the light seemed not to be aimed at Xia Feng; it instead shot straight toward the Void Cauldron Domain behind him.
A cold smile played at the corner of Xia Feng’s lips—the Void Cauldron Domain wasn’t so easy to break through.
He grabbed the hand from which Dongfang Hao released the light and used divine power to slowly crush his bones from the fingertips.
Xia Feng wasn’t merely crushing his bones; he fused the Celestial Sword and the Great Dao of the Overlord Blade, creating divine power that formed countless sharp blades and swords.
These blades and swords spun and cut chaotically inside Dongfang Hao’s body.
The divine body of this Profound Tier First Layer Martial God was quite sturdy, but in times like these, the tougher the divine body, the more pain it endured.
Dongfang Hao would rather have his bones outright severed by the blades than endure this slow, torturous slicing.
Especially since Xia Feng used the Great Dao of Extreme Ice and the Great Dao of Life to maintain his body, preventing him from dying and keeping him even more clear-headed than usual.
He watched helplessly as his bones were ground to powder bit by bit, then painfully reassembled, only to be crushed again.
The beam of light in mid-air crashed about inside the Void Cauldron Domain for a long time, like a headless fly, unable to find its way out.
Xia Feng ignored the light, focusing solely on the torturous slaughter of the Martial God under his hand.
The light suddenly shimmered, and within a short distance, it traversed space, escaping this world and diving straight into the void.
Xia Feng initially extended his hand towards the direction the light escaped to grab it back, but after a moment’s thought, he silently withdrew his hand.
Dongfang Hao’s body trembled slightly, seemingly confused as to why Xia Feng dared to let the light go.
He originally released the light to seek help from the Upper Realm, but once the light left his hand, he could no longer control it.
Seeing the light zipping around inside the Void Cauldron Domain like a headless fly, his heart sank into utter despair.
The Void Cauldron Domain was too formidable; even if the light managed to escape, it would deplete a significant amount of energy, and Xia Feng would have no trouble extinguishing it.
Yet, he couldn’t understand why Xia Feng let the light out.
Xia Feng placed his foot on Dongfang Hao’s leg, beginning a new round of torture.
Sound couldn’t travel out of the Void Cauldron, and even time seemed to blur.
Dongfang Hao didn’t know how long he was tortured; all he knew was that in the end, he was almost praying for Xia Feng to accidentally kill him.
But with the Great Dao of Life, Xia Feng wouldn’t let Dongfang Hao die so easily.
He leaned down and, in an especially humiliating posture, patted Dongfang Hao’s cheek: "Are you curious as to why I let that message light go?"
Dongfang Hao paused, not knowing how to respond, when Xia Feng stomped hard on his third leg again.
The agonizing pain instantly made him break out in a cold sweat, wanting to say something but unable due to his missing tongue.
"Oh, I forgot you lost your tongue and can’t speak."
"Just nod or shake your head."
Dongfang Hao hurriedly nodded, not daring to slow his movements even if it tugged at his wounds, fearing Xia Feng might suddenly remember something.
Xia Feng chuckled, his face splattered with blood looking more like a demon than the Tier One Demon from before.
Seeing Xia Feng smile made Dongfang Hao’s entire body tremble, unable to stop himself from wanting to retreat.
But where could he retreat to, surrounded entirely by the Void Cauldron Domain?
Xia Feng explained in a good mood: "That light of yours should also consume its own power."
"Even after passing through the Void Cauldron Domain, there wouldn’t be much left. Trying to pass through the void to reach the Divine Domain and report the message, the turbulent space currents would be enough to exhaust it."
"Even if by luck it managed to enter the Divine Domain, and delivered the message, at most a few more people would come down."
"If I can handle you, I can handle more of them."
"In fact, I hope more people come, so I can find the path to the Divine Domain from you lot."
Suddenly, Dongfang Hao struggled violently, seemingly wanting to cooperate with Xia Feng.
Xia Feng needed the path to the Divine Domain—he could provide it, he had a way, he could lead Xia Feng back to the Divine Domain.
A slight smile tugged at Xia Feng’s lips as he patted Dongfang Hao’s face again: "You came at an inopportune moment. I just broke through to Martial God, and I need to stabilize it properly."
"Since I must enter seclusion, I don’t have time to keep watching you."
"So... you can be relieved now."
After saying this, he pressed his hand on Dongfang Hao’s head, and with a slight force, crushed what should have been an incredibly hard head into a flat shell.
Dongfang Hao’s divine soul emerged from his head, with a slightly dazed expression.
What did Xia Feng just say, he just broke through to Martial God?
Did he hear it wrong?
A hallucination before death?
Xia Feng ignored his doubt, and with a wave of his hand, Dongfang Hao’s divine soul was also returned to the earth.
He lowered his gaze at the dismembered, unrecognizable body of Dongfang Hao on the ground, clicked his tongue, and let the Void Cauldron swallow it.
The surrounding darkness gradually faded, revealing the azure sky. Nothing around had changed, yet it also felt as if everything was different.
All the former Emperors Xia who were worried breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Xia Feng emerge from the Void Cauldron intact.
The Martial God had come on aggressively and seemed more formidable than the previous ones, so the former Emperors Xia were a bit worried if Xia Feng would be alright.
Now seeing Xia Feng come out unscathed and the other Martial God nowhere in sight, they were instantly overjoyed.
Especially Xia Naiwen, who exclaimed excitedly: "Ancestral spirits bless us, our descendants have become capable!"
After landing, Xia Feng felt slightly disoriented, after all, he had just broken through to Martial God and his foundation was still a bit unstable.
This forced battle consumed some energy, and he needed to stabilize for a couple of days.
