Chapter 74: Chapter 61: Divine Dragon Claw Reveals Its Might: Shi Feiyang’s Bloody Battle Against Vajra Stronghold’s Seven Altar Masters

A few days later, the forces of Vajra Stronghold marched majestically towards Changsheng Castle.

Fang Yi rode a glistening black horse, arrogant and confident. To him, the heavily damaged Changsheng Castle following the battle with Divine Water Palace was merely a possession ready to be taken over effortlessly.

The sound of horse hooves was urgent as they entered the territory of Changsheng Castle. Fang Yi abruptly tightened the reins, as an inexplicable sense of unease surged in his heart.

The surroundings were deathly silent, a kind of tranquility akin to the calm before a storm, making one’s hair stand on end.

Fang Yi cautiously surveyed the area and shouted to his subordinates, ”Stay alert, damn it, beware of being surrounded!”

The wind howled, and the trees rustled, as if tolling a funeral bell for Vajra Stronghold.

Suddenly, a piercing shout broke the silence. Shi Feiyang stood on high ground, raising his arm and shouting, ”Attack!” His voice was like thunder, causing everyone’s eardrums to ache. Wu Zhong led the brothers of Vanguard Hall, charging forward like a fierce tiger from all directions. Shi Feiyang stood tall, bathed in sunlight like a descending War God, his eyes exuding fearless dominance: this is the territory of the Heroic Sakura Association, not to be trespassed!

Fang Yi was shocked, yet feigned composure, waved his hand and roared, ”Kill them all, leave no one alive!”

The seven Altar Masters of Vajra Stronghold each unleashed their full skills, aggressively attacking the members of the Heroic Sakura Association.

”Poison Dragon Altar Master” Sun Ba, a rebel from the Ten Thousand Poison Sect, was highly skilled in poison techniques, and his ”Poison Dragon Bone-Eroding Claw” was particularly vicious and cruel. He laughed wickedly as he leaped towards Shi Feiyang, his five claws like hooks, bringing a dark green poisonous mist aimed directly at Shi Feiyang’s throat. Wherever he passed, flowers and plants withered instantly, and the air was filled with a nauseating stench of decay.

Shi Feiyang’s expression was stern, his gaze sharp as lightning. He held his Myanmar Saber horizontally, executing ”Cangsong Welcoming Guest”. His posture was steady like a pine tree, and although his Saber appeared to block casually, it precisely neutralized the attack of Sun Ba’s poisonous claws.

With a ringing sound, as the Saber and poison claws clashed, a mighty Inner Strength surged out from the blade, shattering the poisonous claw carrying the mist, and the mist was forced back by the sword aura. Sun Ba was knocked back several steps by the counterforce, his face full of shock and disbelief.

Shi Feiyang seized the opportunity, taking a half-step forward with his left foot, his form like lightning. His left hand struck out, performing ”Dragon Shadow Flash Strike” from the Divine Dragon Claw. It was so fast that one couldn’t blink, and Sun Ba, unable to dodge in time, was struck in the chest by the Dragon Claw, spewing blood and collapsing to the ground, barely alive.

”Black Wind Altar Master” Zhou Ji, who practiced the hard martial art ”Black Wind Iron Cloth Shirt”, was invulnerable to blades and spears, with immense strength. He wielded a sturdy Wolf Fang Club with both hands, swinging it fiercely with a gust of wind, and smashed it down onto Shi Feiyang.

Shi Feiyang’s figure flashed, avoiding the powerful strike with ghost-like agility, then flipped his Myanmar Saber, executing ”Golden Dragon Coiling the Claw”. The Saber light coiled around Zhou Ji’s Wolf Fang Club like a golden dragon, the strong forces contending.

With a loud clang, like a great bell ringing, Zhou Ji’s Wolf Fang Club was cut with a deep gash, his palm cracked and bleeding, and he was driven into the ground by the massive force.

Shi Feiyang’s left hand turned into a claw, his fingers like hooks, and with great force, he executed ”Divine Dragon Spitting Pearl”, rapidly grabbing Zhou Ji.

Crack! Zhou Ji, unable to evade, had his scapula shattered by Shi Feiyang’s Dragon Claw, skin torn, and his clothes stained with blood.

Shi Feiyang wielded his Myanmar Saber in a sharp arc, executing ”Dragon Fury Blade Shadow Slash”. The blade light flickered, catching Zhou Ji off guard, piercing his chest with the long blade, and he died on the spot.

”Flying Eagle Altar Master” Zheng Yu, once a top expert of the Eagle Claw Sect, had supreme lightness skills, and his ”Golden Eagle Shadow Step” was extraordinary. With a pair of razor-sharp eagle claw hooks, he moved like a black lightning bolt in the air, attempting to surround and rescue Zhou Ji by stabbing at Shi Feiyang’s eyes.

Shi Feiyang’s gaze sharpened, his Saber moving with his mind, and he wielded the Myanmar Saber, forming multiple Saber flowers, employing the exquisite move ”Cangsong Welcoming Guest” from the Hundred Victories Saber Technique. Blade light ensued, impenetrable, protecting himself tightly.

Zheng Yu’s eagle claw hooks struck the Saber light, causing a series of ”ding ding dang dang” sounds with sparks flying. He launched several attacks but couldn’t break through Shi Feiyang’s Saber web, silently exclaiming in his heart.

Shi Feiyang seized the moment, spun around swiftly, and swept his long Saber across, ”Dragon Spin Blade Light Break”!

Zheng Yu couldn’t dodge in time, his arm hacked by the blade, and his eagle claw hooks fell to the ground. Shi Feiyang then performed ”Dragon Claw Soul Capturing” from the Divine Dragon Claw, instantly grabbing Zheng Yu’s throat, and with a forceful squeeze, Zheng Yu struggled a few times before his breath faded.

At this moment, ”Evil Wolf Altar Master” Zhao Meng, stout and robust, wielded a pair of glistening Iron Double Axes with fierce power. He roared, swinging the axes towards Shi Feiyang with a booming sound, as if intending to cleave Shi Feiyang in half.

Shi Feiyang, calm and unhurried, flashed his form and nimbly dodged the attack of the twin axes like a swallow skimming over water. At the same time, he extended his left hand, performing the ”Dragon Travels the World,” with his dragon claw slicing toward Zhao Meng’s wrist like a sharp blade.

Zhao Meng hastily retracted his axes to block, and Shi Feiyang took the opportunity to advance. With a swing of his Myanmar Saber, he executed the move ”Dragon Battles in the Wilds.” The blade flashed, and Zhao Meng couldn’t dodge in time, the blade cutting across his abdomen, blood gushing out, intestines spilling forth. He let out a miserable cry and collapsed on the ground.

”Mad Lion Altar Master” Qian Xiong, proficient in the Lion’s Roar Technique, opened his mouth wide, letting out a deafening roar. The sound waves, sharp as blades, rushed toward Shi Feiyang. Shi Feiyang immediately circulated his Inner Strength, forming a solid Qi Wall in front of him to ward off the sonic assault.

Subsequently, Shi Feiyang lightly tapped the tip of his foot, rushing toward Qian Xiong like lightning. With a horizontal slash of his Myanmar Saber, he executed ”Dragon Coiling the Tiger’s Lair.” The force of the blade was unparalleled, cutting through the flesh on Qian Xiong’s arm, exposing the bone underneath.

Shi Feiyang then unleashed a move from the Divine Dragon Claw Divine Technique called ”Dragon’s Might Splits the Sky,” seizing Qian Xiong’s head with a claw. Qian Xiong had no time to dodge, and his head was instantly shattered, with red and white splattering everywhere.

”Poisonous Snake Altar Master” Sun Hao and ”Poison Dragon Altar Master” Sun Ba were both skilled in the use of poison, but Sun Hao’s methods were more sinister.

He held a poison needle, sneaking close during the gap in Shi Feiyang’s battle with other altar masters, and suddenly shot the needle toward Shi Feiyang’s back. Shi Feiyang sensed the danger behind him, spinning rapidly like a top and deploying ”Dragon Turning Heaven and Earth,” sending the poison needle flying with a powerful airflow. Turning smoothly, he grabbed at Sun Hao’s throat with ”Dragon Claw Choking.” Sun Hao couldn’t evade, his throat seized in excruciating pain. After struggling a moment, he expired.

”Spirit Fox Altar Master” Li Mei, adept in Charm Technique and Lightweight Technique, moved agilely across the battlefield like a spirit fox. She laughed coquettishly as she approached Shi Feiyang, attempting to bewilder him with her charm. Shi Feiyang felt a chill in his heart, immediately circulating the Purifying Heart Technique, rendering him unaffected. He executed ”Dragon Roams the Four Seas,” moving swiftly like a swimming dragon, instantly reaching Li Mei. With a flick of the dragon claw, ”Dragon’s Might Awe-Inspiring” struck. Li Mei couldn’t dodge in time, hit on the shoulder by the dragon claw, she fell to the ground.

Shi Feiyang swiftly followed with another strike, ending her life. All seven altar masters had been slain. Seeing this, Fang Yi’s eyes widened in fury, reddened with anger. With a roar, he charged at Shi Feiyang himself. Fang Yi’s Martial Arts, ”Chaos Demon Technique,” was extraordinarily domineering. His dancing palms emitted black demonic flames wherever he moved, the air seemingly scorched, making sizzling sounds.

Shi Feiyang was well aware of Fang Yi’s might, not daring to be careless. He circulated his True Qi, wielding his Myanmar Saber with fierce momentum.

Fang Yi leaped ferociously, combining his palms, carrying rolling demonic flames like a black meteor, crashing toward Shi Feiyang. This move ”Demonic Flames Burn the Heavens” was his ultimate attack, immensely powerful.

Shi Feiyang took a deep breath, confronting Fang Yi’s attack with a high leap, his saber descending, performing ”Heaven and Earth Eternal.” For a moment, the winds and clouds changed color, the powerful force gathered on the blade clashed with Fang Yi’s demonic flames in an ear-splitting roar.

With a tremendous explosion, it seemed as if the heavens and earth trembled, and the intense shockwaves spread outward, sending nearby soldiers flying. When the dust settled, Fang Yi was seen with the blade pierce through his chest, his face full of unwillingness and shock as he slowly fell. Shi Feiyang stood with his saber, awe-inspiring. The remaining defeated soldiers of Vajra Stronghold, seeing their Village Chief and the seven altar masters all dead, were thrown into complete chaos.

Seizing the moment, Shi Feiyang shouted loudly: ”Lay down your weapons, those who surrender will not be killed! Join my Heroic Sakura Association, and I guarantee you a prosperous future!” The crowd hesitated for a moment before laying down their weapons and kneeling in surrender.

Shi Feiyang looked at those who surrendered, feeling a surge of heroic spirit in his heart.

The strength of the Heroic Sakura Association grew again, equipping them with greater power to face future challenges in the ever-changing Jianghu. After this battle, the Heroic Sakura Association unexpectedly gained over ten thousand new disciples, and Liao Pei, Wu Zhong, Xiao Lingling, Xiang Kun, and others, after counting the numbers, couldn’t stop grinning with delight.

Then, Shi Feiyang and Gong Simeng disguised themselves as they firmly stepped toward Qingfeng Pavilion for negotiations.

Under the clear blue sky, with not a single cloud in sight, the golden sunlight poured down without reservation, coating Shi Feiyang’s body with a dazzling radiance, heralding the start of a magnificent new journey, his figure exuding unparalleled boldness and courage.

Just after walking out of the Changsheng Castle ruins, Shi Feiyang extended his long arm, gently wrapping it around Gong Simeng’s waist. He turned his head with a gentle smile, and softly said, ”Don’t be afraid, I’m here.” Gong Simeng’s cheeks flushed instantly, as she nodded lightly, her hands involuntarily clutching Shi Feiyang’s arm tightly.

Shi Feiyang tapped the ground with his toes, instantly performing the Supreme Lightness Technique ”Journey of the Thousand Miles” like a streak of black lightning leaping through the clouds and mist. The surroundings retreated swiftly like illusions, the whirlwind howled past his ears; however, under the white mist emanating from Shi Feiyang’s Bright Jade Technique, the harsh gales could not touch Shi Feiyang or Gong Simeng, as if they were shrouded in armor, protecting them from the sky’s wind and airflow.

In the blink of an eye, the two landed steadily outside Qingfeng Pavilion.

Gong Simeng’s cheeks were still flushed as she looked up at Shi Feiyang, her eyes full of admiration and marvel. She softly said, ”Brother Shi, your Lightweight Technique is truly extraordinary; I’ve never seen such a superior Lightweight Technique.”

Shi Feiyang smiled, lightly stroking her hair, and replied, ”It’s nothing special. Once things have settled, I’ll teach you. No matter what danger arises in the future, I’ll never let you get harmed.”

With that, he gently pinched Gong Simeng’s cheek, his eyes full of affection. Gong Simeng’s heart was overjoyed. She had been worried that Shi Feiyang might be enamored with Lin Wanqing, but now it seemed that this worry was unnecessary, and she need not be troubled by it any longer.

Shi Feiyang held Gong Simeng’s hand as they walked together toward Qingfeng Pavilion.
