”Damn it! How can this guy have so many powerful souls at his disposal?!”

Seeing that soul attack streaking toward him at terrifying speed, the Lue Feng Zun Zhe’s expression instantly twisted with rage.

At this moment, he had no confidence in blocking another soul self-detonation of this level.

Worse still, he was suppressing the deadly poison raging through his body while his soul power had been severely drained.

Dodging this incoming strike… he wasn’t sure he could manage it.

Grinding his teeth, he clenched his hand, and a yellowish-brown flaming longsword appeared once more.

”Shadow Sword Technique · Wind Blade!”

With a silent shout in his heart, the blade in his grip suddenly burst with dazzling light.

In the next instant, he swung with all his strength. A massive sword arc nearly a hundred meters long took shape in a blink. The blade glow carried sharp, light-blue gales intertwined with scorching, earthy-brown flames.

It tore through the air, leaving behind a pitch-black scar in space, and slashed straight toward that incoming soul shockwave.

And right after releasing the Dou Technique, his nearly transparent form spun around in a sharp 180-degree turn, retreating at full speed!

In the blink of an eye, he had fled nearly ten li.

Buzz!

But just after he had bolted a short distance, the space before him suddenly twisted. From within that distortion, a soul body far more powerful than his own surged forth it was none other than the Tian Huo Zun Zhe.

”Heh… why so eager to leave?”

Tian Huo Zun Zhe gripped his soul-forged longsword, smiling faintly at him.

Earlier, his speed had indeed been inferior to Lue Feng Zun Zhe’s. But now? After Lin Feng’s heavy blow, the man’s soul power had plummeted.

Against Tian Huo Zun Zhe’s fully intact soul power, his current speed was no longer any threat at all.

Meanwhile, the soul shockwave from the Hall of Souls Protector’s self-detonation had already shattered Lue Feng Zun Zhe’s Dou Technique and swept right through his nearly incorporeal body!

Bang!

Struck by a technique that dealt devastating damage to the soul, Lue Feng Zun Zhe’s aura instantly wilted.

Lin Feng seized the moment—while Tian Huo Zun Zhe pinned him down—to withdraw his two Heavenly Flames.

”Triple Soul Lock!”

The Fallen Heart Flame, most lethal against soul bodies, twisted under Lin Feng’s control into three invisible chains.

With a crisp clinking sound, they shot straight toward Lue Feng Zun Zhe, whose strength had already fallen to around the level of a Five or Six-Star Dou Zong.

The chains were blindingly fast, streaking through the air and piercing right into the man’s frail, transparent body.

”AAAH!”

The instant the chains sank in, Lue Feng Zun Zhe let out a blood-curdling scream.

Lin Feng, unmoved, gave the chains a sharp tug.

That faint, fragile figure was dragged toward him without the slightest resistance.

”I’m willing to hand over the Wind and Thunder Fury Flame! In return, you keep your word and let me go—how about it?!”

The middle-aged man’s disguised face was pale, and his voice trembled with urgency.

”Hmph! You wouldn’t agree to the deal earlier—why should you think it’ll be so easy now?”

Lin Feng’s cold snort cut him off, his eyes filled with disdain.

From what Tian Huo Zun Zhe had said before, this Lue Feng Zun Zhe had an extremely vile temperament.

Even if the man might be useful to him now, Lin Feng had no intention of taking the risk of keeping him around.

With a flicker of light from the ring on his finger, a jade bottle appeared in Lin Feng’s hand.

”Bind!”

With a cold command, the three invisible chains tightened rapidly, binding the man’s illusory form completely.

Chh-chhh~

The moment the Fallen Heart Flame touched Lue Feng Zun Zhe’s body, a sizzling sound rang out.

Thick white smoke rose from his form, while his shrill screams echoed endlessly through the sky.

Tian Huo Zun Zhe, seeing Lin Feng secure Lue Feng Zun Zhe’s remnant soul along with the Wind and Thunder Fury Flame, was overjoyed.

Now, of the four materials needed for his resurrection, three were already in hand: two Heavenly Flames, the blood of a Rank 7 magic beast, and at least a Dou Zong-level physical body.

All that remained was a single Bone Growing Blood Fusing Pill, and he could regain a body and be reborn.

”Xiao Yixian, Elder Yao—go gather the storage rings from those cultivators killed by the Bloodthirsty Spirit Formation earlier. They might not be worth much individually, but the sheer number makes it foolish to waste them.”

As he spoke, Lin Feng turned his head to the two of them.

”Got it.”

Both the Xiao Yixian and Tian Huo Zun Zhe nodded.

The Xiao Yixian, seeing the matter settled, waved her jade-like hand and recalled the Ghostly Poison Flame still floating in the air.

The two of them then split up, heading into the forest to retrieve the storage rings scattered by the earlier shockwaves.

A short while later, once Lue Feng Zun Zhe’s soul was weakened enough, Lin Feng reduced the chains’ strength and coldly asked, ”In the forest around this square, what have you hidden? And what’s the most valuable?”

Hearing this mere Dou Zong speak to him in such a tone, a flash of anger crossed Lue Feng Zun Zhe’s pale face.

But faced with his current predicament, he gritted his teeth and replied, ”Most of what’s on the stone platforms around the outskirts are fairly ordinary Low- and Mid-Grade Earth Class cultivation techniques and Dou Techniques, along with recipes for fifth- and sixth-tier pills. As for pills, the best are a few low-grade seventh-tier pills.

”The most valuable items, aside from a few mid-grade seventh-tier pills and some high Low-Grade Earth Class Dou Techniques, are a scroll of the High-Grade Earth Class Dou Technique Star Wheel Reincarnation and an ice-attribute High-Grade Earth Class Dou Technique called Cold Yin Art.”

Hearing this, Lin Feng’s expression turned slightly surprised. He hadn’t expected his luck earlier—when wandering the forest—to have landed him the two most valuable items by pure chance.

Having gotten the information he wanted, Lin Feng wrapped Lue Feng Zun Zhe’s soul with the Fallen Heart Flame and tossed it into the jade bottle.

He coated the outside of the bottle completely with Fallen Heart Flame, then stored it securely in his Serene Sea Storage Ring.

As for the Heavenly Flame, this wasn’t the place to absorb it. He would wait until they found a safe location before extracting and devouring it.

Because the Xiao Yixian and Tian Huo Zun Zhe both had strong soul power, they quickly located all the scattered storage rings.

”Here.”

When they returned to Lin Feng’s side, each tossed him the over one hundred storage rings they had collected.
