Chapter 408: Chapter 408: Full Moon Scimitar

In the void, Piao Xueyan placed her hands behind her back again, while Shi Feng was being burned by the ashen fiery flames, as if the battle had already concluded. She no longer paid any attention to Shi Feng, who was turned into a fiery figure by the ashen flames.

Instead, she slightly lowered her head, looking down at the crowd on top of the Imperial Palace’s city tower and said indifferently, "The scoundrel Shi Feng has been defeated by my hand. You dogs of Shi Feng, continue to receive your punishment!"

Then, Piao Xueyan intended to manipulate the ashen flames above, which burned with the Blood-colored Blaze. However, Piao Xueyan suddenly frowned and looked up into the void, towards the Blood-colored Sea of Fire!

"What’s going on? Shi Feng is currently being burned by the Fiery Flames. He should be severely injured and have lost his Battle Power by now, thus he shouldn’t have the energy to sustain that Blood-colored Sea of Fire.

Although the Blood-colored Sea of Fire hasn’t disappeared, the power of the flames should be rapidly weakening. Yet, I can feel that the power of the flames hasn’t lessened at all? Could it be..."

Piao Xueyan suddenly remembered something, and immediately her puzzled expression turned into a look of horror.

"Hehe, have you noticed? Wench!" From the humanoid-shaped ashen Fiery Flames, Shi Feng’s cold voice suddenly emerged. Following that, a brilliant Blood-colored Light started to shine within the ashen humanoid fiery figure, turning it entirely into a blood-red color.

Then, under that Blood Light, the ashen Fiery Flames seemed to melt like ice and snow, slowly dissipating to reveal a blood-red figure within—Shi Feng!

Under the burning of the ashen Fiery Flames, Shi Feng’s entire head, face, neck, and both hands were unavoidably scorched, appearing as if they had rotted. The shiny black hair that had grown from his Nine Nether Undying Body was now scorched clean again.

These past few days, Shi Feng had been alternating between disfigurement and healing, over and over again.

At this moment, a sinister cold smile hung on Shi Feng’s rotten face as he fiercely stared at Piao Xueyan in front of him. His similarly scorched and rotting right hand grasped a grey-white Full Moon Scimitar, which vibrated violently as if trying to break free from Shi Feng’s grip.

"So it turns out your mysterious power comes entirely from this scimitar! But with your realm, let’s see how many more times you can activate this scimitar to attack!" Shi Feng coldly said to Piao Xueyan.

Having used his own body as an experimental subject, Shi Feng had finally realized that Piao Xueyan, when fully activating this Full Moon Scimitar, could achieve the power of a Five-star Martial Venerable. Just now, Shi Feng himself had been struck by the power of a Five-star Martial Venerable.

But whether it was a strike from a Five-star Martial Venerable or even a full-strength strike from a Six-star Martial Venerable, Shi Feng had experienced them all. His scorching injuries looked extremely frightful, but for Shi Feng, they were merely superficial wounds.

With a "clang," the Full Moon Scimitar finally burst forth with a powerful force, breaking free from Shi Feng’s hand. The scimitar continuously spun, looping back toward Piao Xueyan.

At that moment, Shi Feng moved swiftly, following after the Full Moon Scimitar and rushed toward Piao Xueyan at high speed.

With a "bang," Shi Feng’s longsword slashed down, and with one strike, the rapidly spinning Full Moon Scimitar, flying backward toward Piao Xueyan, was cleaved away by Shi Feng.

Then, Shi Feng swiftly moved, flying to the front of Piao Xueyan. His left hand beamed a brilliant and blinding white light as he reached for Piao Xueyan’s face.

"No! Don’t come any closer!" Having had her full force strike with the Full Moon Scimitar broken, Shi Feng instantly appeared in front of her, and at that moment, Piao Xueyan was truly frightened.

As Shi Feng anticipated, Piao Xueyan had used her Full Moon Scimitar to launch a full-powered strike. The Primordial Power within her was almost completely depleted, and she couldn’t muster another attack with the Full Moon Scimitar in the short term.

In fact, she was only in the One-star Martial Venerable Realm. All her strength came from the Full Moon Scimitar, obtained from the Death Forbidden Land. Even the gray-white Fiery Flames in the sky, which countered the Blood-colored Sea of Fire, were no exception.

Just now, when Piao Xueyan fully activated the Full Moon Scimitar, her inner Primordial Power had almost run out. All the Primordial Power she had infused into the Full Moon Scimitar had been dispersed by the Blood Light from Shi Feng moments ago.

Above the sky, the power of the gray-white Fiery Flames swiftly diminished. In an instant, a violent wave of the Blood-colored Blaze engulfed it, and it seemed that it wouldn’t be long before the gray-white Fiery Flames were completely submerged within the Blood-colored Blaze.

Seeing Shi Feng’s hand reaching for her, Piao Xueyan swiftly retreated. It was in this moment that she truly understood how terrifying the man before her was. Previously, after emerging from the Death Forbidden Land, she had entered the legendary Martial Venerable Realm, carrying a mysterious scimitar from the Death Forbidden Land, the Full Moon Scimitar.

With this Full Moon Scimitar, powered by her own strength, she could unleash a dreadful Five-star Martial Venerable’s full strike. She had thought that after coming out from the Death Forbidden Land, she would dominate the Heavenly Mist Empire, and from then on, who would dare to contend with the Floating Void Sect, with her, Piao Xueyan.

Yet, who would have thought that, despite ascending to the legendary realm and acquiring the power said to annihilate everything, she still failed to kill the man before her and was instead broken by him.

Piao Xueyan rapidly retreated. Even as she quickly moved back, her speed was no match for Shi Feng’s. Shi Feng swiftly closed the gap again, his left hand glowing with that chilling white light reaching forward and grabbing Piao Xueyan’s face.

At this moment, before Shi Feng, Piao Xueyan was as powerless as Long Meng was before her.

Shi Feng’s left hand squeezed harshly on Piao Xueyan’s beautiful face, distorting it. He raised his left hand high, lifting her entire body off the ground.

"Let go of me! Let me go!" The exalted Sect Master of Floating Void Sect, once the most powerful entity in the Heavenly Mist Empire, Piao Xueyan, had never faced such humiliation and immediately yelled furiously at Shi Feng.

"Hmph! Think you’re so tough? Bitch!" Shi Feng lifted her severely burnt face, which oozed a bone-chilling smile once again, "With such strength, you dare to seek revenge against me? You’re simply courting death. You could have come after me directly for revenge, but you targeted my friend instead. You, such a bitch, I surely won’t let you off today!

You like playing with fire, do you? Today, I’ll let you taste what it feels like to be burned to death by the Fiery Flames!"

As Shi Feng’s voice fell, he exploded with violent Blood-colored Blaze from his left hand. The Blood-colored Blaze swept crazily toward Piao Xueyan in his grasp, instantly engulfing her graceful figure, which resembled a fairy in white, floating beyond the dust of the mortal world.

"Ah!" A shrill scream echoed in the Void.
