Zu Shen spoke, his voice hoarse and low, sounding as if he had aged considerably.
However, this kind of laughter made Yang Fei feel a sense of pain all over his body, as if his muscles and bones were all twisted together!
Yang Fei even thought he must have fallen into some sort of witchcraft or illusion. He immediately unleashed his true essence, and the sandstorm was instantly forced back by five or six meters.
In the blink of an eye, Zu Shen's figure was already enveloped by the space around Yang Fei!
"Oh, so powerful, hehe, as expected of a coach from the War God Regiment. In the years without Ling Feng, you've actually become even stronger! Not simple, truly not simple!"
Zu Shen looked up, a ferocious smile appearing on his face. He then clapped his hands in praise towards Yang Fei.
But for Yang Fei, this was not praise at all; it was a mocking taunt!
"I didn't expect you to still be alive. It seems the people previously planted in the War God Regiment were your doing!?"
Yang Fei advanced step by step towards Zu Shen. He didn't spare a glance at the people on the ground; they had already fallen unconscious!
As Yang Fei approached, Zu Shen's figure remained motionless. He simply stared at Yang Fei mockingly and said,
"Heh, does that even need to be asked? Besides me, who else in this world could accomplish such a thing? General Yang, you must hate me very much, don't you? Being demoted to being a mere soldier here, that feeling must be terrible, right?"
Zu Shen sneered and shook his head.
Yang Fei's eyes instantly widened, bloodshot and red. Yang Fei's figure shot directly towards Zu Shen, his long saber swung directly!
"Hmph, since you know I hate you, you still dare to show yourself? You're truly bold!"
*Whoosh!*
The saber's gleam cut through the air. In an instant, Zu Shen in front of him was cleaved into two halves!
Yang Fei's eyes widened even further, then he abruptly turned his body. As expected, Zu Shen, who had been in front of him moments ago, was now behind Yang Fei. What Yang Fei had cleaved was merely a robe, which was now split into two.
Zu Shen, now dressed in tight-fitting attire, stood in front of Yang Fei, looking at him sideways with an even more mocking gaze. He stretched his wrists and said unhurriedly, "Heh, I originally thought we could have a good chat after meeting, but it seems you don't want to chat with me and instead want to fight! However, you've lost half your combat power without the War God Regiment's equipment. How can you fight me?"
"Nonsense! Even without that equipment, my combat power wouldn't be diminished. Killing you is enough!"
Yang Fei roared, and his long saber swung out again!
*Whoosh, whoosh!*
The saber's gleam exploded through the air, shooting in all directions. But Zu Shen's figure flickered around like an afterimage, making it impossible to land a hit!
Yang Fei became even more enraged, and sweat began to bead on his forehead. As expected, Zu Shen had become stronger. Facing Zu Shen, Yang Fei even felt a sense of facing Ling Feng!
Such immense pressure, as if completely unmovable!
However, Yang Fei hadn't unleashed his full strength. Sensing Zu Shen's approach, Yang Fei's speed suddenly tripled!
*Whoosh!*
The long saber swung out, and the next moment it stopped before Zu Shen's neck.
To be precise, it was caught by Zu Shen's outstretched hand on the blade!
Yang Fei's eyes turned bloodshot red: "Impossible!"
Zu Shen's eyes lit up. He smiled and nodded at Yang Fei: "Haha, you've truly inherited Ling Feng's true teachings. You like to hide your strength to deliver a fatal blow. But unfortunately, the gap between you and me is too great. Even if you hide it well, this thing is truly too fragile!"
*Crack!*
As Zu Shen finished speaking, he exerted force with one hand, and the long saber in Yang Fei's hand was directly snapped!
Yang Fei recoiled in shock, trying to create distance between himself and Zu Shen, while his hands began to form seals rapidly.
A flicker of surprise flashed in Zu Shen's eyes: "Oh? You're also proficient in sorcery? The era of universal cultivation has truly arrived. Come, let me see how good your lightning techniques are?!"
"You know I'm using lightning techniques?!"
Yang Fei exclaimed, but then his face turned even redder, as if provoked.
He immediately raised his hand and slapped towards Zu Shen, roaring, "Startling Thunder!"
*Crack!*
Indeed, a purple bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, instantly striking down towards Zu Shen's head.
The speed was incredibly fast, completely surpassing human limits, making it impossible for anyone to dodge.
But Zu Shen faced this sorcery attack with a calm smile, raising one hand: "Mystic Gate Five Elements Technique, Earth Shield!"
*Swish, swish!*
The yellow sand from the ground instantly floated up, and in the blink of an eye, it converged above Zu Shen's head to form a thick shield!
*Crack, crack!*
The startling thunder struck the earth shield, but it did not penetrate the shield's defense.
Yang Fei was furious: "Damn it, Earth River Chariot!"
He changed his hand seals, raised his hand, and a mud dragon directly surged from the ground, charging towards Zu Shen.
Zu Shen's eyes lit up even more. With a raise of his hand, the earth shield appeared in front of him.
The mud dragon collided with the earth shield, causing the shield to instantly shatter. Zu Shen's figure was also sent flying by the impact.
The mud dragon continued to pursue, seeming to want to devour Zu Shen!
Yang Fei laughed wildly: "Haha, that's all there is to it. You came here today to seek death!"
Before his voice even fell, Yang Fei changed his hand seals, and the mud dragon instantly slammed down towards the ground!
*Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!*
The yellow sand dispersed. Zu Shen's figure lay in the deep pit, the surrounding sand slowly burying him.
Yang Fei's figure instantly appeared at the edge of the pit, looking down at the raggedly dressed Zu Shen, who seemed to have no signs of life!
"Hmph, rest here in peace..."
Yang Fei's disdainful snort had not yet finished when, abruptly, Zu Shen raised a hand, and then his figure shot out like lightning. The speed was incredibly fast, much faster than the lightning technique from before!
Yang Fei instinctively wanted to dodge, but it was already too late.
His neck was grabbed by Zu Shen, and the words in his mouth were left unfinished!
A suffocating sensation attacked him. Yang Fei's eyes widened to their extreme, and he couldn't help but roll his eyeballs!
"Heh, truly excellent sorcery. It must have been taught to you by Ling Feng, right? But so what? You are nothing now. Without the War God Regiment, you are like a dead dog, held in my grasp. Your Lord Ling Tian War God won't come to save you now. Look at you, so pathetic, like a dog thrown here, and you're still loyal to your master! Haha! It's simply laughable!"
Zu Shen mocked him unscrupulously, his hoarse laughter truly making one tremble all over.
Yang Fei's face turned even redder, even showing a hint of purple. If this continued, he would surely die!
"Let, let go..."
"Oh?" Zu Shen brought his ear closer, his hand tightening its grip. "Are you asking me to let you go? Heh, begging requires sincerity. Speak up louder, ah. Oh, I forgot, you're having trouble breathing now, so it's normal that you can't speak. But, doesn't your War God Regiment claim to have an unbreakable will? Come on, beg me! Haha!"
