While Xiao Yixian was still brimming with excitement, the energy storm caused by the mass self-detonation of the Dou Zong finally began to dissipate.
And once again, Lue Feng Zun Zhe reappeared—completely unscathed—his figure still carrying that slightly illusory quality.
"Very well… You damn rats have completely pissed me off. Now—all of you, die!"
Just thinking about the massive loss of blood and flesh from those Dou Zong detonations made Lue Feng Zun Zhe seethe with pain.
After all, this formation he was using wasn't the original Bloodthirsty Spirit Formation.
It was a simplified version he had stolen long ago from a six-colored eighth-tier alchemist who possessed the Wind and Thunder Fury Flame.
According to the notes, the simplified version was based on half of the original array's design—a powerful cultivator had obtained a partial copy and made modifications to create this version.
Naturally, it was inferior to the original.
On top of that, his own soul power was far from abundant.
This opportunity—the one unfolding right now—was his only real shot.
After this, once he left this place, there was no way he'd dare to massacre Dou Zong-level cultivators like this again.
It wasn't just a matter of whether he had the strength to pull it off outside...if he was discovered by a Dou Zun while doing something like this, he'd be a dead man walking.
Only on his own turf, like now, could he afford to act so recklessly.
As long as he killed off everyone here, and quickly fled the area afterward—
No one would know a thing.
As for the few Dou Zong that still remained, seeing this situation unfold, their hearts instantly sank into despair.
After all, over a dozen Dou Zong had self-detonated just now—and hadn't even scratched him.
Now there were less than ten of them left.
The odds of defeating him were as close to zero as possible.
"Die, rats!"
Staring down the remaining Dou Zong, Lue Feng Zun Zhe formed seals with both hands once more.
A tremendous wave of pressure came crashing down on them like a collapsing sky.
Boom!
Strengthened by the fresh blood and flesh just added to the formation, the array's power erupted.
Everyone aside from the Bone Transforming Gate's Sect Master and Elder Qin was instantly crushed into blood mist.
Only the two remaining Peak Dou Zong looked at one another—then gritted their teeth and launched themselves toward him in a last-ditch effort.
They had worked so hard to reach this cultivation level.
None of them wanted to die here like this.
The only thing left… was to fight and try to snatch a sliver of hope from death's grasp!
"Heh… Looks like it's time to finish off the two biggest rats of the bunch."
Seeing the two charging toward him, Lue Feng Zun Zhe didn't look the least bit afraid.
With a wave of his hand, earthy-yellow Heavenly Flames surged outward like a tidal wave, howling as they swept toward the two of them.
Strictly speaking, his cultivation wasn't actually much higher than theirs.
But with the formation and the Heavenly Flame backing him—he had no reason to fear them.
Meanwhile, not far from the intense battle inside the formation—Lin Feng had unknowingly returned to Xiao Yixian's side, asking in a low voice: "Those formation plates I found in the outer forest… I've already destroyed them all. How's it going on your end?"
Hearing this, Xiao Yixian's beautiful eyes quickly scanned him from head to toe.
When she saw that he was unharmed, she replied: "Inside the formation, that guy's already killed nearly everyone using the formation. Only two are left."
As she spoke, her pink lips curled up in a sly smile.
"And those shattered bits of flesh and blood from the self-detonated cultivators? He's absorbed part of that too."
Hearing this, Lin Feng immediately understood what she meant.
"So the original plan was to make him wary of the poison…"
"But instead, he actually absorbed it into his body himself? This just got a lot more interesting."
Looking toward the fierce battle unfolding inside the blood-colored barrier, Lin Feng's heart couldn't help but laugh.
Now that the enemy had unknowingly taken in the Woeful Poison Force—their chances of winning had just gone way up.
Then, Lin Feng simply stood in place, quietly watching the battle unfold within the array.
As for saving the Bone Transforming Gate's Sect Master or Elder Qin?
He had no such intention.
After all, back during the auction at Bone Transforming Gate's Sect's territory—when Granny Yin attacked him, the auction's host didn't even bother to intervene.
Not to mention, because of the dispute over the ownership of that cultivation scroll…he had personally killed the Bone Transforming Gate's Sect Master's son.
Now if he went and saved the Sect Master—once the latter found even the slightest clue about his son's death, he'd come for Lin Feng without hesitation.
So leaving the man here to die—was the best possible outcome.
As for that Elder Qin?
Lin Feng wasn't familiar with him, either.
Even if he saved him, there'd be no benefit.
After all, the man had come here purely to seize Lue Feng Zun Zhe's inheritance.
If he helped him now, wouldn't that just be creating another powerful rival for himself?
And besides, he didn't believe anyone coming from a place like Western Desolate Region would be the type to repay kindness.
Boom!
Just as Lin Feng was deep in thought—
The Bone Transforming Gate's Sect Master was slashed clean across the chest by the earthy-yellow flame sword wielded by Lue Feng Zun Zhe.
His body was sent flying, smashing heavily into the bloody screen that formed the array's boundary.
"Looks like they're about to fall."
Seeing one of the two finally lose, Lin Feng's eyes narrowed slightly as he muttered to himself.
Then, after a quick word to Xiao Yixian, he swiftly slipped away to the rear while everyone was distracted.
At the same time—
Several differently colored flames appeared in Lin Feng's hands.
Staring down at the Fallen Heart Flame, Green Lotus Core Flame, and Ghostly Poison Flame, Lin Feng fell into brief contemplation.
Then, he retrieved another flame—the pale-white Life Transforming Flame.
Under his control, about one-third of the flame's core essence was drawn out.
This Life Transforming Flame had previously devoured over a hundred Rank 7 beast flames, and even a Rank 8 beast flame he had purchased back in Bone Transforming City.
In terms of raw power?
Even the Green Lotus Core Flame fell short by comparison.
Right after, he summoned another Rank 8 beast flame from within his body.
This one was originally seized from Han Feng.
Afterward, he had absorbed it to help evolve the Flame Mantra.
Since using it during the battle with Old Ground Demon Ghost, he hadn't used it again in a long time.
Now, with five terrifying flames floating before him, each one emanating terrifying heat—a surging wave of soul power burst from the center of Lin Feng's brow.
Under the unique pull of Flame Mantra infused Dou Qi—he began the process of slowly merging all five flames into one...
Meanwhile, within the array—
Elder Qin, upon seeing the Bone Transforming Gate's Sect Master fall, had a trace of despair flash across his eyes.
After fighting this far—
Even someone as mentally tenacious as he, a man who'd fought his way up through countless life-and-death battles, felt his will start to crumble.
As for the group outside the Bloodthirsty Spirit Formation?
They were even worse.
On the now-empty plaza, cries of despair, shouts of rage, and bitter weeping filled the air.
"Damn it! If I'd known this was how it'd end, I'd have never come for this damned Dou Zun inheritance…"
"Now it's that old bastard who's inheriting my stuff!"
A burly man slumped helplessly onto the ground, his fists pounding the stone as he sobbed uncontrollably.
The regret in his heart could no longer be put into words.
Around him, the expressions of the others were no different.
All of them cursed Lue Feng Zun Zhe's treachery and their own greed.
