Chapter 240: Chapter 240: Genius Brother Qu

In the Blood-colored Desert, flames roared fiercely before a group of seven young martial artists. Suddenly, the woman Lin Yue, who had been casting the Fire Cloud Fierce Flame, had a drastic change of face. She saw a hand glowing with a ghostly white light reaching out from the blazing flames. As soon as Lin Yue caught sight of the hand, she realized it was already clasping her neck. Then, the ghostly white hand lifted her body high into the air.

Amidst the intense fiery flames, the blood-colored flame swirled like a vortex, instantly extinguishing the fire and revealing a young figure holding a delicate body. At this moment, Lin Yue, who was being held high by Shi Feng’s right hand, found that her strength was completely suppressed by a mysterious and chilling force, unable to muster even a fraction of her power.

"You! Release me!" Despite this, Lin Yue’s face was twisted with ferocity as she shouted at Shi Feng. Being a disciple of the high and mighty Fire Cloud Sect, she had never suffered such humiliation. Even now, subdued, Lin Yue was thinking of how to torment this man, to cleanse herself of his insult.

As for being killed, it never crossed her mind. She was a disciple of the Fire Cloud Sect, after all—who would dare to kill her!

"Alright, it’s time to end this farce," declared the oldest of the Fire Cloud disciples, who had not spoken until now, looking on with an indifferent expression.

Two-star Martial Sect Realm!

Shi Feng had noticed this man earlier, likely the leader of the group, and the one with the highest Martial Arts Cultivation.

"Brother Qu!" Lin Yue heard the voice from behind, and turning her head, her ferocious expression shifted to one of full grievance as she looked at Brother Qu.

"Oh?" Shi Feng also looked at the man, and coldly chuckled.

"Let’s put an end to this farce," the man said to Shi Feng, speaking indifferently once more. He then added, "Release Lin Yue, cripple your own Dantian, leave an arm behind, and then leave." His calm words carried an undeniable authority.

Upon hearing these words, Shi Feng let out a cold laugh. With a "crack," a crisp sound emanated from within his grasp. Everyone present was suddenly startled and looked horrified at Lin Yue in Shi Feng’s hand. They saw her eyes wide open, full of disbelief, but she was lifeless. Lin Yue, a disciple of the Fire Cloud Sect, a Seven-star Martial Lord Realm genius, was alive just moments ago, yet now she had been crushed to death.

Many felt chills down their spines at Lin Yue’s sudden death. A few unconsciously touched their own necks, secretly relieved that they hadn’t stepped forward. How brazen this man was to kill Lin Yue just like that. Even if he were eventually killed and tortured to death, what did it matter? If they died, nothing else would mean anything, just like Lin Yue, now reduced to a lifeless corpse.

Afterward, many eyes turned to Brother Qu. Although he still wore an impassive face, those who knew Brother Qu understood he was enraged. His words had been so blatantly ignored; it was a slap in the face.

Moreover, just a short time ago, Brother Qu had uttered the word "boring," and Lin Yue had accompanied him to a secluded place. What happened between them, they all knew very well. Regardless, Lin Yue was considered Brother Qu’s woman, though they were also aware that Brother Qu had many women.

At this moment, Brother Qu’s face was filled with ice coldness, as if coated with frost, coldly staring at Shi Feng. A Flame Fierce Palm as large as a door silently formed above Shi Feng’s head and violently slammed down on him.

As expected, Brother Qu was enraged, and this person was doomed!

Shi Feng coldly stared at the descending Flame Fierce Palm. The Bloodthirsty Sword appeared in his hand, and with a thrust upwards, a white Sword Qi surged directly towards it.

Then, to the shock of the onlookers, under that white Sword Qi, Brother Qu’s Flame Fierce Palm actually dissipated, and the white Sword Qi continued to thrust into the blood-red void.

What did this mean! It meant that this person’s Sword Qi was stronger than Brother Qu’s attack!

"How is this possible!" Someone couldn’t help but cry out in awe. In their minds, Brother Qu was an absolute genius, a Two-star Martial Sect powerhouse. Within the young generation of the Heavenly Mist Empire, fewer than ten people could reach Brother Qu’s realm. Yet, Brother Qu’s attack had been broken by this youth.

This turn of events was hard for them to accept.

At that moment, Brother Qu let out a cold snort and said coldly, "I originally thought that my casual strike would be enough to annihilate you, but I hadn’t expected you to conceal your Martial Arts Cultivation with a secret technique. I couldn’t even discern your true realm, which is no wonder you were so bold. Very good! Since you’ve broken my attack, you have the qualifications to be my opponent." Like Ding Yu who had esteemed the talented youth Zhen Chuan, he believed Shi Feng had hidden his Cultivation Level. Naturally, he didn’t believe that a Martial King Realm warrior could challenge him out of their league.

"So that’s how it is! It was just a casual strike from Brother Qu!" Someone who was originally surprised had a sudden realization upon hearing Brother Qu’s words. It had been only a casual strike from Brother Qu, while this person must have used his full strength, naturally breaking Brother Qu’s Fire Cloud Fierce Palm.

"Become your opponent?" Shi Feng, upon hearing Brother Qu’s words, sneered disdainfully, "Are you even worthy?" As he spoke, from the female corpse in Shi Feng’s hands, blood burst violently from the seven orifices, spraying onto Shi Feng’s wrist, which he then quickly absorbed. Lin Yue’s corpse deflated rapidly like a punctured ball and was carelessly tossed aside by Shi Feng like garbage, flung toward a spot not too far away.

"What... What kind of evil technique is this?" The crowd, upon seeing the transformation of Lin Yue’s body, was even more terrified and relieved that they had not stepped forward like Lin Yue had.

Right after that, they saw Shi Feng raise the Blood Sword in his hand. Similarly, a huge white Sword Qi appeared above them, following Shi Feng’s movement, it slashed violently downward – the Nine Nether Slash!

"Hmph! To show off such Martial Skill in front of me, how dare you!" Brother Qu saw the Sword Qi slashing down and his mouth twisted into a cold smirk. "Boom! Boom!" Flames suddenly erupted from the palms of both his hands. Brother Qu clapped his hands together and then fiercely pushed upwards. Rolling fiery flames burned up towards the void above.

At that moment, the sky above the Fire Cloud Sect disciples transformed into a sea of fire. The entire sea of fire twisted like a vortex, converging into a huge Fire Bird, exuding an intense and terrifying aura of flames that seemed capable of incinerating everything.

With a long piercing cry that echoed through heaven and earth, the Fire Bird, with its wings of flames, soared up toward the white Sword Qi that had been slashed
