"I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill you! AHHH!"
"You beast! If I survive today, I will make everyone connected to you die painfully at my hands!"
Under the ever-intensifying agony, the Mieshi Immortal's curses against Chu Feng grew increasingly vicious. In his eyes, he was already as good as dead — but he refused to be tortured to death. Since death was inevitable sooner or later, he would rather provoke Chu Feng into giving him a quick end than perish like this.
"You want me to kill you?"
"Heh heh…"
"Rest assured, I will kill you — but definitely not now."
However, Chu Feng had long seen through the Mieshi Immortal's intentions. As he spoke, he put away the barrier longsword in his hand and began forming hand seals with one hand. At that moment, the spot that the barrier longsword had pierced through earlier began radiating a blinding light.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh— As the light spread, the flame poisonous heart insects that had been gnawing at the Mieshi Immortal's exterior now followed the glow inward, burrowing into his body and bones to continue their consumption.
"AHHH—" "No—" "You beast!!!"
"No! You're a demon!!"
"You demon!!!"
Only now fully grasping Chu Feng's intentions, the Mieshi Immortal let out a scream of utter despair.
Rumble rumble rumble— But just then, the ground suddenly began to tremble violently, like an earthquake. Even the ice sheet blanketed under the frozen snow started to crack and collapse.
Upon seeing this, Chu Feng's brows furrowed immediately, and he instinctively turned his gaze toward the Snow Valley where the Dark Hall's headquarters lay. He could already tell that the tremors coming from deep underground originated from the Dark Hall's base.
But the distance was far too great — with the naked eye, Chu Feng couldn't see a thing. He had no choice but to activate his Heavenly Eye.
"Not good." And once he did, Chu Feng's expression changed drastically, a deep sense of foreboding surging within him.
Through his Heavenly Eye, Chu Feng locked onto the Dark Hall Master standing at the peak of the Snow Valley.
The Dark Hall Master's body was undergoing a massive transformation. Dark, shadowy creatures were covering his entire form, fusing with his physical body — and as these black beings merged into his flesh, his power was skyrocketing at a terrifying rate.
What was most frightening was that from deep within the Snow Valley, countless numbers of these same creatures were rising into the air and merging with the Dark Hall Master, one after another.
Faced with this situation, forget the allied forces — even the Elven King was powerless to stop it. All anyone could do was watch as it continued to unfold.
Every face among the allied forces that witnessed this scene was overtaken by thick, palpable terror.
Because setting aside what might come later, right now the Dark Hall Master's aura had already surpassed the Elven King's. If this continued, he might very well break through into the legendary Half-Ancestor realm. And when that happened, there would likely be no one in the entire Sacred Land of Martial capable of opposing him.
"How can this be?"
"Could it be that this fellow has been cultivating a demonic technique?"
At that moment, Chu Feng too was consumed with unease — because not only were the Elven King and the others powerless to act, but Chu Feng himself had no idea what to do. He didn't know how to change the situation before his eyes.
