Yes, under immense pressure, under the threat of death, Yang Feilong finally broke through the barrier and reached the second level of the Yin Yang realm!
This was the first official breakthrough after the fusion of the three cultivation paths. The successful breakthrough indicated that the cultivation method Yang Feilong had previously fused and created was completely sound. Moreover, the increase in strength after the breakthrough was far greater than imagined!
Following this, Yang Feilong unleashed a sword strike.
It was the same sword technique he had used against Tian Qifeng before, the Unfettered Swordplay. However, the power that erupted in an instant made even Tian Qifeng feel a great threat!
Of course, it happened in the blink of an eye!
Yang Feilong’s sword strike collided with Tian Qifeng’s terrifying blade energy.
Rumble!
Amidst the deafening explosion, Tian Qifeng stumbled backward, his eyes filled with shock.
"You, you can actually block my killing move? How is this possible?" Tian Qifeng's eyes were filled with disbelief.
This was too frightening.
Yang Feilong had been on the verge of death by his hand, and suddenly his aura soared, his combat power greatly increased?
He had never seen anything like this before.
In the next moment, he thought of something: a breakthrough in combat? This was absurd!
To be able to break through under his full suppression?
He had managed to repel his opponent, and although it wasn't a crushing victory, he had been on the defensive. Being able to push back his opponent showed that his strength was still superior.
"Kill!" Yang Feilong shouted, his voice filled with murderous intent, and he actively attacked Tian Qifeng. This was Yang Feilong's first offensive move.
"Even if you break through, you are no match for me!" Tian Qifeng's face contorted in rage, and he engaged Yang Feilong in combat.
Bang bang bang!
In an instant, they exchanged dozens of blows.
Yang Feilong, covered in blood, was like a powerful war god, while Tian Qifeng was reduced to a pathetic figure. When he had been dominating Yang Feilong, it was like a cat playing with a mouse, watching it struggle. Now, the tables had turned, and he was like a pitiful mouse, being toyed with by Yang Feilong at will.
"Damn it, damn it!" Tian Qifeng was so angry he was about to go mad.
Yang Feilong's current strength was slightly superior to Tian Qifeng's, coupled with his extraordinary footwork, he was completely dominating Tian Qifeng, making him feel utterly humiliated!
Especially the huge contrast, which he could not accept.
As he was repeatedly suppressed by Yang Feilong, his mentality began to crumble. In one unguarded moment, Yang Feilong’s long sword sliced off one of his arms!
"Ah!" Immense pain surged through him.
"You damned scoundrel!" Tian Qifeng roared.
At this moment, he was like a mad dog, roaring in impotent rage!
Swish!
Another flash of blood, and Tian Qifeng's other arm was severed by Yang Feilong. It clattered to the ground along with his saber.
"Don't kill me!" Tian Qifeng cried out in terror.
He had been so arrogant moments ago, but now, all he felt was fear.
"Weren't you very arrogant just now?" Yang Feilong sneered. "Why aren't you arrogant anymore?"
"Dream on if you think I'll let you go!"
As he spoke, Yang Feilong prepared to slay Tian Qifeng!
"My cousin is also in the great formation. He is Xiao Tengyun, the seventh-ranked prodigy on the Dragon Phoenix Ranking, at the peak of the tenth level of the Innate realm, and could break through to the Innate realm at any moment! If you kill me, he will never let you go!" Tian Qifeng threatened repeatedly.
"Let alone Xiao Tengyun, even if it were Xiao Jiawu, you are dead today! And not killing you would be the stupidest thing!!" A mocking smile appeared on Yang Feilong's lips.
As he spoke, Yang Feilong unleashed a sword strike.
Swish!
Tian Qifeng's head was cleanly severed.
Simultaneously, a burst of flames enveloped Tian Qifeng.
Hiss hiss~~
Tian Qifeng's body sizzled.
"You will not die a good death, my cousin will definitely kill you!" Tian Qifeng's voice, filled with resentment, echoed.
Even though he was killed, his soul would not die immediately!
As Yang Feilong was about to collect Tian Qifeng's belongings and leave, his expression changed, and he instantly moved far away.
"How dare you kill my cousin, you're seeking death!" an enraged voice boomed, and a terrifying sword light shot from an unknown direction, heading towards Yang Feilong.
If Yang Feilong hadn't had astonishing perception and extraordinary footwork, he would have been struck.
Yang Feilong dared not linger. In an instant, he swept up Tian Qifeng's treasures and fled the scene. About three breaths after Yang Feilong left, a figure appeared beside Tian Qifeng.
"Cousin! Save me!" Tian Qifeng's desperate voice rang out.
"Cousin, there's nothing I can do to save you. You only have a wisp of a remnant soul, and I don't have any treasures that can nourish the soul." Xiao Tengyun's expression was grim, but he gritted his teeth and said.
"I hope you can kill the person who killed me and avenge me!" Tian Qifeng's voice was filled with resentment and pleading.
"Don't worry, I've remembered that guy. I will make sure he is torn to shreds!" Xiao Tengyun said through gritted teeth.
"Ah!" The next moment, Tian Qifeng's pained cries abruptly stopped, as the flames had completely incinerated his soul!
In the spot where Tian Qifeng had been, everything turned to nothingness!
Not long after Xiao Tengyun appeared, one figure after another arrived, a total of seven people!
"Third Young Master, what happened?" the others asked.
"Cousin Tian Qifeng has been killed!" Xiao Tengyun said through gritted teeth, his face filled with anger.
"Who dares to kill the Young Master's cousin? Are they not afraid of death?"
"Third Young Master, I request to be sent to kill that person!"
Xiao Tengyun waved his hand, and a figure came into view: "Remember him. This is the culprit who killed my cousin. Once you see him, kill him without mercy!"
"Yes, Third Young Master!" the others replied.
"Alright, form yourselves into groups of three or two, and search for that person. I need to go deeper!" Xiao Tengyun said coldly.
"Yes!" the others responded.
Then, Xiao Tengyun's figure flashed and disappeared from the spot, and the others also dispersed.
None of these people were weak. The weakest had the cultivation of the eighth level of the Innate or Foundation Establishment realm, and the strong ones reached the tenth level of the Innate or Foundation Establishment realm!
Of course, even among those at the tenth level of the Innate or Foundation Establishment realm, there were vast differences in strength!
The strong ones could hold their own for one or two moves against an ordinary Golden Core realm cultivator, while the weak ones could be easily killed by a Golden Core realm cultivator before they even unleashed their full power.
Far from this place, in a different formation unit, Yang Feilong gasped for breath, his face pale. That guy was several units away, and with a casual sword strike, he had almost severely injured him. Fortunately, there were several units between them, otherwise, he would have been killed!
He had thought that after his cultivation breakthrough, few in the Innate or Foundation Establishment realm would be his match. Now, he realized that he had been too naive and had underestimated his opponents!
