Chapter 472: Four-star Martial Venerable

Chapter 472: Chapter 472: Four-star Martial Venerable

The massive azure halberd shadow suddenly slashed down, and Shi Feng held the Bloodthirsty Sword in one hand, and the Full Moon Scimitar in the other.

Since the Bloodthirsty Sword and the Rune within it had ascended to the Seventh-stage Venerable Level, Shi Feng, although still in the Three-star Martial Venerable Realm, had advanced a level in battle power compared to when he fought the bearded man in the Golden Robe at the Death Forbidden Land!

"Nine Nether! Heaven-shattering Sword!" Faced with the azure halberd shadow possessing the Power of a Seven-star Martial Venerable, Shi Feng let out a low shout and thrust his sword straight into the sky!

Above Shi Feng, a huge vertical sword in a deathly white color appeared and then slammed into the descending azure halberd shadow!

"Boom!" A thunderous rumble of collision between fierce energies caused space to tremble and the ground to roar, and under this tremendous force, the entire War God Hall collapsed with a bang, turning into a field of golden ruins and a sky filled with dust.

In the void, there stood a Green-armored War General wielding a long azure halberd, proudly atop a white tiger. This person was Ling Gao, the member of the Ling Family who had previously summoned Shi Feng from outside the city and brought him to the Imperial Palace. His Martial Arts Realm was at the Seven-star Martial Venerable Level!

To Ling Gao and to Ling Huang, who had sent him, a Seven-star Martial Venerable was more than enough to easily annihilate a three-star Martial Venerable like Shi Feng, comparable to an ant.

But at this moment, Ling Gao’s face drastically changed; the mighty strike he had delivered upon that ant had been broken by the very ant.

"How could this be! He’s just a three-star Martial Venerable realm ant! Moreover, a Little Martial Practitioner from this barren land, how could he possibly block the ultimate strike from Ling Family Army’s Ling Gao!" Stunned that an ant he deemed crushable with ease had blocked his attack, Ling Gao found it difficult to accept.

He was supposed to be invincible in battle and unbeatable in attack, a member of the Ling Family Army!

However, immediately an intense sense of danger emerged in Ling Gao’s heart as a rapidly spinning mass of gray-white Fiery Flames appeared within the dust, spiraling swiftly toward him.

It was Shi Feng, launching the Full Moon Scimitar!

"Roar!" The white tiger under Ling Gao, seeing the spinning flames, let out a fierce tiger roar, and a violent storm burst forth from its mouth. Suddenly, the entire sky turned into a wild tempest sweeping towards the spiraling flames.

"Concentrate for a strike, Fury Kill Halberd!" At the same time, Ling Gao followed with an angry shout, his long azure halberd shining with dazzling light. With a fierce and vicious expression, he raised both hands, and as the fierce storm surged, he fully unleashed the Green Radiant Halberd upon the rapidly spinning gray-white Fiery Flames.

"Clang!" A thunderous sound echoed through heaven and earth, rippling through the void, creating circles of ripples. Under the combined attack of the violent storm and the azure halberd, the spinning gray-white Fiery Flames were finally blocked, revealing the original form of the Full Moon Scimitar.

But just then, a scarlet figure had already shot in front of Ling Gao, his face cold and staring down Ling Gao with murderous intent. For some reason, under this cold gaze, an even more dangerous sensation arose in Ling Gao’s heart, even more so than when the gray-white Fiery Flames had been spinning towards him.

"No! How could an ant from the Three-star Martial Venerable Realm make me feel this way, it must be an Illusion Technique, this ant must have used an Illusion Technique on me, die, ant!"

Ling Gao let out another loud shout, gripping his azure halberd once more. Gathering all his strength, he swept wildly towards Shi Feng.

And beneath Ling Gao, the white tiger issued a violent roar as its colossal paws swept across in unison with him toward Shi Feng. Wherever the tiger’s claw passed, a wild wind ensued, as if it had the power to cleave mountains and shatter stones, destroying everything in its path.

"Humph!" Seeing that Ling Gao and the white tiger were attacking him together, Shi Feng coldly snorted once more. His third Corrosive Demon Eye flared wide open, launching a sword made of condensed black mist toward the sweeping tiger’s claw.

Meanwhile, the Bloodthirsty Sword in Shi Feng’s hand also erupted with fierce crimson flames, thrusting toward the oncoming green halberd. At the same time, Shi Feng extended his left hand, deploying it on the nearby suspended Full Moon Scimitar, and once again injected massive amounts of Nine Nether Power into it.

The Full Moon Scimitar, which had stopped rotating, suddenly started spinning rapidly again.

"Bang!" The sound of clashing metals echoed once more in the void as the Bloodthirsty Sword, ablaze with crimson flames, stabbed into the sweeping Green Radiant Halberd, blocking its strike.

Right after that, the Green-armored War General Ling Gao’s face drastically changed as his pupils suddenly dilated. The quickly spinning Full Moon Scimitar sliced across Ling Gao’s neck, drawing a trace of eerily crimson blood.

"Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!" The white tiger beneath him howled in agony as the paw originally swiping at Shi Feng, now under the Black Mist Sword, not only had its wild wind power corroded but the entire paw itself was severely corrupted by the black mist, with the Power of Corrosion spreading rapidly.

"How... how can this be..." Ling Gao’s eyes widened in disbelief, touching his throat in shock, smearing his palm with bright red blood.

Then, almost immediately, blood gushed forth from Ling Gao’s lacerated throat as if from a ruptured reservoir, and he watched, eyes wide open, as the blood spraying out was being absorbed by the palm of the ’ant’ before him.

A particularly unbearable sensation spread throughout Ling Gao’s entire body, as if all his blood was boiling and reversing flow toward the sliced-open neck.

"No!" Full of unwillingness, Ling Gao let out a thunderous roar, but then, a shroud of darkness instantly engulfed his entire consciousness.

A Seven-star Martial Venerable of the Ling Family, the Green-armored War General Ling Gao, had fallen! And as Shi Feng devoured his blood, Ling Gao’s body quickly withered away, turning into a dried-up mummy that fell from the back of the white tiger and tumbled into the ruins below.

Right afterward, as Shi Feng absorbed the Power of Death, Soul Power, and blood of a Seven-star Martial Venerable like Ling Gao, a white light flickered a few times around him, and he was promoted to the Four-star Martial Venerable Realm!

Power!

Although he felt himself growing stronger, Shi Feng shook his head in dissatisfaction. This amount of strength was still far, far away from the power he desired!

"Humph, you beast, trying to run!" Ling Gao’s white tiger, seeing its master dead, quickly turned to flee. Being a Seventh-stage Venerable-level demon beast, it had developed great Spiritual Wisdom and was no less intelligent than the average person!

Watching the fleeing white tiger, Shi Feng flicked his finger, and suddenly a Rune flew out from his fingertip, shooting into the body of the white tiger.

"Roar!" As the Rune penetrated the white tiger’s body, a dazzling snowy white light glimmered upon it as it let out a fierce roar to the heavens!

The void trembled!
