Chapter 598: Chapter 594: Ambush from the Qin Race Prodigies

Xia Feng didn’t have time to think too much. Gripping the Heaven-Burying Sword in his hand, he plunged into battle with the Resentful Beasts.

The moment those Resentful Beasts emerged, they locked onto Xia Feng. Unless people around them actively attacked, they would encircle Xia Feng, seemingly trying to erode him with the surrounding resentment.

Xia Feng frowned, found a moment to turn and instruct the women, "Don’t worry about this situation here, go take care of the Demons."

"The Resentment Crystals dropped by these Resentful Beasts likely don’t count in the trial contest."

"To rank at the top, you still have to kill Demons. Once I finish up here, I’ll come find you."

Li Qingxue looked at Xia Feng with a worried expression, knowing how troublesome those Resentful Beasts were. As long as the resentment lingered, these Resentful Beasts would constantly heal.

She wanted to stay and help Xia Feng deal with these beasts, but Xia Feng’s serious expression left her unsure whether she should heed his words and leave.

Beside her, Sun Yazhu tugged at her sleeve, gently speaking, "Husband surely has his plans. We should just follow his arrangements obediently."

"If we can’t help, at least don’t add to his troubles."

After finishing those words, Li Qingxue’s body trembled. She reluctantly withdrew her gaze and flew with her sisters towards where the Demons were the most numerous.

The surrounding Resentful Beasts completely ignored them, their eyes fixed on Xia Feng, their expressions fierce as if they would swallow Xia Feng whole.

Xia Feng chuckled, the Heaven-Burying Sword in his hand emitted a clear sword hum, and then the Sword Qi surged, directly tearing apart the Resentful Beasts that were closer.

Even the ones farther away were affected to some degree, leaving countless Beasts with only half their bodies.

However, with the dense surrounding resentment, the severed limbs of these Beasts continuously regrew, albeit in seemingly random places, making them look stranger than before.

Narrowing his eyes, Xia Feng waved his hand to gather the Resentment Crystals scattered on the ground, keenly sensing that the surrounding resentment had thinned somewhat.

He dared not observe too long and continued to fight these Resentful Beasts.

Amidst his ongoing battle, an elite team managed to slip away from the chaotic combat, stealthily moving towards Xia Feng’s location.

Xia Feng’s eyes flickered slightly; pretending not to notice, he continued battling the Resentful Beasts, while that team used the surrounding resentment to set up an ambush not far from Xia Feng, seemingly arranging some kind of trapping array.

The surrounding resentment was extremely dense, making it impossible for these prodigies to linger long here. If they completed setting up the array, they’d likely be eroded by the resentment and transform into new Resentful Beasts before Xia Feng could even deal with them.

Xia Feng frowned, moving slightly closer to them, hoping to scare them off.

After all, once they died, they would generate new resentment, complicating Xia Feng’s task of dealing with these Beasts.

But instead of retreating when Xia Feng approached, these people seemed to have a reckless determination and charged at Xia Feng together.

"Scoundrel! What goes around comes around. These strange beasts aren’t chasing anyone else but you, clearly even the Demon Race can’t stomach what you’ve done."

As he continued slashing the Resentful Beasts, Xia Feng puzzledly looked at them, "Why don’t you tell me what I’ve done then?"

Xia Feng had never seen these people before, having no idea which faction had sent them.

Upon hearing Xia Feng’s words, the prodigies across him showed increased rage: "Scoundrel! You killed the two best prodigies of our race, and now you act like you don’t know?"

As they spoke, they took out their respective Divine Artifacts, and soon the Great Dao of Music surrounded them. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Xia Feng clicked his tongue, realizing from their demeanor that they were from the Celestial Sound Divine Domain. Yet, back in the Celestial Sound Secret Realm, aside from the prodigies of the Celestial Sound and the Demon Sound, all others were dealt with by the two Divine Kings.

He had killed quite a few prodigies back then and couldn’t tell who these people were from.

Regardless of which family they belonged to, to prevent them from being consumed by Resentful Beasts and strengthening them, Xia Feng decided to push the Beasts back and ready his sword to deal with these prodigies.

The prodigies appeared resentful, their Realms about that of a True God. When Xia Feng charged, they showed no panic, instead appearing as if their scheme had succeeded.

"Scoundrel, you’ve fallen into our trap!"

"Today, we’ll make you pay for the lives of our Qin Race!"

With those words, their respective Great Dao of Music enveloped each other, subtly forming a bizarre formation, enveloping Xia Feng within.

Xia Feng briefly sensed the array’s power; the six True God Realm prodigies had unleashed the might of a Main God Realm attack.

Xia Feng sneered, appearing utterly unimpressed. He had previously dealt with Main God Realm cultivators in the Lower Realm, and now with even more formidable cultivation, naturally, he didn’t fear those who artificially boosted their cultivation.

If it weren’t for guarding against surrounding Resentful Beasts, Xia Feng would have long disposed of these people with a single sword strike.

Choosing not to kill directly, he instead used the Celestial Pill Great Dao to condense a tangible cluster of Spiritual Power, charging directly at these people.

The Qin Race prodigies snorted, "Qin Fei and Qin Tian were only young, that’s why you could deal with them, and you think you can still use these tricks on us out here?"

As they finished speaking, they controlled the surrounding people to gather their Spiritual Power together, confronting Xia Feng’s Spiritual Power head-on.

As the two clusters of Spiritual Power clashed, the surrounding Resentful Beasts seemed momentarily frozen, as if affected by the aftermath of the battle.

Taking advantage of the moment when the surrounding Beasts hadn’t responded, Xia Feng raised his sword and brought it down, a massive Sword Qi descending from the heavens directly into the center of their formation, causing a backlash that enveloped them.

By the time the Resentful Beasts snapped back, the Qin Race prodigies had perished without leaving a trace of their souls, even rendering the remaining resentment they could swallow unattainable.

This whole mess made the Resentful Beasts seem even more vengeful, locking their sights on Xia Feng, seemingly determined to settle a score with him.

Fortunately, the number of these beasts seemed fixed, existing purely on the surrounding resentment.

Xia Feng’s Star Power continuously devoured the surrounding resentment, causing the beasts’ Realm to drop ever lower, until eventually, Xia Feng could easily slay swathes of them with a wave of his hand.

He let out a slight sigh of relief, mustering up one last effort to consume all the resentment, clearing the battlefield entirely.
