Chapter 449: Chapter 449: The Battle with the Seven-star Martial Venerable (14th Update)

"Boom!"

The middle-aged man with a golden robe and a mustache clashed his ice-colored dagger, which had shot forth from his hand, against the descending flame sword in the blink of an eye, producing a resounding explosion.

Almost immediately, under the propulsion of the ice-colored dagger, the massive blood-colored flame sword disintegrated in mid-air, and with a simple motion of his hand, the mustache-clad middle-aged man recalled the dagger, which flew back down and returned to his palm.

"Hmph, overestimating your own abilities! Then become a cold corpse in the Death Forbidden Land!"

After shattering Shi Feng’s flame sword Qi, the man with the mustache saw Shi Feng still rapidly approaching him, such foolhardiness. The man with the mustache flicked his finger again, propelling the ice-colored dagger that hovered over his palm, launching it toward Shi Feng once more.

"Haha! I originally thought this young man had some decent talent, but now I see he’s foolish to this extent; knowing he is no match yet still rushing to his death!" Qianz Yuanshan scornfully laughed upon seeing Shi Feng charging toward him; in his eyes, Shi Feng was no different from a dead body.

After hearing Qianz Yuanshan’s words, the mustache-clad man also sneered, saying, "Indeed, quite the fool!"

Shi Feng, sword in right hand and blade in left, rocketing forward, fixed his gaze upon the ice-colored dagger flying toward him and injected power into his blood-colored battle armor.

Suddenly, a dazzling crimson light burst forth from the battle armor on Shi Feng’s body, and at the same time, his blood-colored longsword met the oncoming ice-colored dagger with another slash, unleashing a white crescent sword Qi that sped toward the incoming dagger.

"Eh?!" Noticing the dazzling blood-colored light suddenly emanating from Shi Feng’s battle armor, both the mustache-clad man and Qianz Yuanshan uttered a surprised and doubtful noise. Following that, the mustachioed man laughed, "Haha, good, very good! This man is a walking treasure trove. This blood-colored battle armor is truly exceptional. Junior Brother, it looks like we have a new prize to collect shortly."

"Haha, who would have thought!" Qianz Yuanshan laughed and nodded along.

At that moment, Shi Feng’s white crescent sword Qi collided with the ice-colored dagger. However, under the influence of the Seven-star Martial Venerate power within the ice dagger, Shi Feng’s white crescent sword Qi quickly vanished without a trace, and after shattering Shi Feng’s Nine Nether Slash and scattering the white sword Qi, the ice-colored dagger once again shot toward Shi Feng.

And now, as Shi Feng faced the incoming ice dagger, he still did not retreat but advanced, unleashing numerous white sword Qi in front of him, nearly obscuring his entire body from view.

"Humph, all his martial skills are indeed impressive, but does he think that this will fend off your attacks, Senior Brother Guo? As the saying goes, raw strength can suppress all tactics. Under absolute power, all martial skills are futile!" Qianz Yuanshan watched the Shi Feng shrouded by the multiple sword Qi, shaking his head dismissively.

Just then, the ice dagger flew into the crisscrossing white sword Qi, and as Qianz Yuanshan predicted, with raw strength overpowering tactics and under the power of the Seven-star Martial Venerable, the ice-colored dagger extinguished the sword Qi in its path, finally revealing the figure of Shi Feng behind it.

At that moment, Shi Feng still radiated a bright crimson glow from his blood-colored battle armor; and on his face, a black and white ghost face mask had eerily appeared.

The ghostly face depicted on this mask seemed to be crying yet not crying, laughing yet not laughing, instilling a sense of unease in the onlooker. When Qianz Yuanshan and the mustached man saw the Ghost Face Mask, an eerie and uneasy feeling surged within them.

This feeling was indescribable; it provoked unease in the heart.

At that moment, they saw the reckless youth, as the White Sword Qi in front of him dispersed, throw himself at the Ice-colored dagger flying towards his chest.

"Nine Nether Soul-Shaking Seal! Shake!" At the moment the Ice-colored dagger pierced his chest, Shi Feng too followed with a low shout, launching a Soul Attack, the Nine Nether Soul-Shaking Seal, directly at the mustached middle-aged man, while simultaneously, the Full Moon Scimitar in Shi Feng’s left hand savagely slashed towards the front.

The Full Moon Scimitar spun rapidly through the void, immediately igniting fierce white flames, transforming into a Wind and Fire Wheel. Shi Feng did not launch the Full Moon Scimitar at the mustached man but instead hurled it rapidly towards Qianz Yuanshan!

"Ah!" As the Ice-colored dagger collided with the dazzling chest of the Battle Armor, Shi Feng couldn’t help but cry out in pain as a trickle of blood sprayed from his mouth. His body, hit by the massive force, flew backward uncontrollably, like a kite with its string snapped.

"Ah!" Under the psychic assault of the Nine Nether Soul Seal, the mustached man suddenly felt as if his head had been fiercely struck by a sledgehammer, uttering a painful outcry.

"Ah?" Qianz Yuanshan’s face turned to horror. When he saw Shi Feng throw the Full Moon Scimitar—with its rapidly spinning white flames—heading swiftly towards him, he felt a sense of powerlessness rise within him, despite being in the Five-star Martial Venerable Realm.

In that instant, he heard Senior Brother Guo beside him, who had no idea what was happening, release a painful shout despite his formidable power.

"Thousand Palm Illusion! Break for me!" Qianz Yuanshan shouted loudly. His hands moved, and instantly, countless palm shadows appeared in front of him, dense and numerous, seemingly thousands in number. Quickly, the thousand palm images converged into one, transforming into a real palm, which ferociously slammed into the oncoming white flame saber.

"Boom!"

"Ah!"

...

In that brief moment, so much had happened, but in reality, under Shi Feng’s control, all these events occurred simultaneously in the blink of an eye.

Shi Feng’s body, while flying backward, suddenly stopped after a moment. He extended his hairy left hand to remove the Ghost Face Mask and wiped the trickle of blood from the corner of his mouth. Activating the defenses of his Blood-colored Battle Armor, he had sustained some injuries but was still able to block the strike from the Ice-colored dagger with the power of a Seven-star Martial Venerable.

However, that Ice-colored dagger had shattered the Nine Nether Slash’s Flame Giant Sword and pierced through Shi Feng’s numerous attacks. Its offensive power had already dwindled from before. And since the mustached man had held Shi Feng in contempt and disdain, not using his full strength against him, it was within reason that Shi Feng, with the power of a Two-star Martial Venerable, could defend against the attack using the Blood-colored Battle Armor!
