Chapter 212: Chapter 187: Another Battlefield

Evil Qi is an extremely dangerous thing.

Back at the Yang Family Fort, Du Chengfeng had already heard of the dangers of Evil Qi, but having personally experienced it, he wasn’t too concerned. If you want to gain power, especially an inhuman one, you naturally have to pay some price. After all, opportunities often come with risks.

Fortunately, all along, this Evil Qi in his hands was relatively obedient, even becoming a crucial power for him, a cornerstone of his being.

But, is there really a good deal with no losses?

Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it.

And now, the time for this boat to capsize has come.

Once he realized the impact of this Evil Qi, this once exceedingly obedient force finally revealed its sharp fangs to him, no, not just fangs, but countless blades, spears, swords, and halberds.

The Evil Qi he once used to kill, this time, came back to kill him.

This inevitably reminded Du Chengfeng of the story of the big tree.

He once used the story of a treant as a metaphor after hearing the story of the big tree. He thought a story is just a story, humans aren’t trees but people with hands and feet.

However, if the big tree in the story isn’t a tree, must the person in the story be human?

Clearly, the answer has appeared.

"Kill!!!"

Human-shaped creatures formed of Evil Qi howled, determined to rend Du Chengfeng limb from limb, to flay him alive!

Even if they once obeyed, so what? Previously, they were killed by blades, but now, they’ve turned into the opponent’s sharpest weapons—and now, when they launch their counterattack, what can the enemy who once killed them do?

Without them, Du Chengfeng is just an unarmed, ordinary person!

How can an unarmed person possibly defeat them, who wield weapons?

"Indeed, I am unarmed now."

Feeling the undisguised intent to kill, Du Chengfeng nodded, naturally acknowledging this point.

However, he was not fighting alone.

Facing the oncoming hilt, Du Chengfeng beckoned to the light in the sky.

"You come."

Blazing firelight descended from the sky; it was a man carrying a large sword. With just a swing, enemies within three meters were turned to ash.

A bag of similarly flaming javelins on the man’s back made him appear even more fierce.

"You damn cur..."

The twisted figures formed of Evil Qi cursed, clearly recognizing the identity of this figure.

But it didn’t matter; this so-called reinforcement was only one, but their numbers were thousands, representing all the Evil Qi carried by this body. In both quantity and quality, they had an absolute advantage!

"Charge! Continue charging!"

A figure identical to Du Chengfeng once again swung the Overlord Halberd in its hand, and the boundless twisted Evil Qi charged at Du Chengfeng again.

The flesh-twisted two-headed monstrous eagle was the first to rush forward. Thirteen giant halberds pounded against the flames; even though the blazing great sword had melted half the halberds, at this moment, the man carrying the javelin could no longer protect Du Chengfeng behind him.

But Du Chengfeng didn’t care much about this.

"You come."

Something heavier emerged, a scholar holding a Treasure Sword. Though dressed in a flowing scholar’s robe, his bulging muscles and thick arms seemed to almost burst the garment.

The sword in the scholar’s hand had no edge or point, clearly not suitable for killing, but when held by such a person, no one could underestimate its power.

"Not even calling me teacher? You really don’t understand respect for teachers and traditions."

The emerging scholar wasn’t in a hurry to strike, instead swinging the Bladeless Sword to strike Du Chengfeng.

Then he turned to face the twisted Evil Qi, which wielded knives, spears, swords, and halberds.

"He is no match, and you are even less so. You disloyal, unfilial, unrighteous, and untrustworthy things... today, I’ll show you true benevolence!"

As he said this, the Bladeless Sword slashed down fiercely, splitting a grassland warrior formed of Evil Qi in two!

To divide a person can also be considered benevolence.

But clearly, compared to the man with the javelin, this scholar’s efficiency in battle was a bit lacking. Although judging by physique, it should have been the other way around, yet under the blazing fire’s enhancement, the man with the javelin fought more and more valiantly.

"After all, it’s not your weapon."

In the distance, the figure holding the Overlord Halberd laughed.

Du Chengfeng, too, felt the mocking intent from afar.

"What does that look in your eyes mean? I am you; naturally, I know this sword isn’t closely linked to you. If we’re being honest, this sword isn’t even as closely connected as the halberd in my hand—at least it is really part of you now..."

Saying this, the Overlord Halberd swung down once more.

The twisted figures surrounded him again, these figures formed of Evil Qi brandishing their weapons from life, just to vent their killing intent and resentment.

In just a moment, Du Chengfeng’s figure got swallowed in this sea of hatred.

This time, the figure carrying the Overlord Halberd charged in personally. It was indeed the perfect control of the battle situation, as the only two figures currently supporting Du Chengfeng were also engaged in fierce battle, while he himself remained unarmed.

"This time, what will protect you? What will!"

"...Protect?"

Du Chengfeng furrowed his brows.

"You say you are me, but did you get something wrong?"

"...Hmm?"

The figure holding the Overlord Halberd was taken aback.

But immediately, the Overlord Halberd in his hand thrust out.

It was just posturing; no need for concern. An unarmed ordinary person, how could he possibly withstand the Overlord Halberd?

"Sigh..."

Du Chengfeng sighed.

After a few punches and kicks, the one lying on the ground was the figure identical to him, carrying a halberd.

"If you were me, you should understand, when have I ever been protected by others?"

Saying this, Du Chengfeng’s fist shattered the face identical to his own, which lay on the ground.

All along, he had fought his way to this point all by himself.

"As for you all..."

Du Chengfeng turned, looking at the charging twisted Evil Qi.

If it were someone else, they might have been frightened; after all, this scene was akin to vengeful spirits seeking revenge.

But to Du Chengfeng...

"Isn’t it just killing you again?"

Du Chengfeng stretched his limbs.

"If I could kill you once, I can kill you a second time."

With that, he raised his fist, shattering the nearest head in front of him.
