Huo Tianzheng's retreating steps did not elicit any mercy from Number Nineteen!
His speed increased even further.
By the time Huo Tianzheng heard the whistling sound of air breaking past his ears, his eyes had already met those of Number Nineteen charging towards him!
Huo Tianzheng immediately twisted his body, essentially lying horizontally in mid-air, and swung a leg like a scythe towards Number Nineteen's neck!
This strike was clean and decisive.
As if on cue, a thunderclap boomed in the sky. Amidst the flashing lightning, Huo Tianzheng's leg seemed to transform into lightning itself, cleaving towards Number Nineteen's neck!
Though this attack appeared hasty, for Huo Tianzheng, it was enough to decide the victor.
This strike had been honed and tested through countless trials!
Yet, as his leg was about to land on Number Nineteen's neck!
Number Nineteen's body shifted slightly, his shoulder rising!
*Bang!*
Number Nineteen's shoulder clothing instantly ripped apart, blood splattered, and the sound of bone shattering could even be heard.
However, despite this, Number Nineteen did not evade at all, his hand moving even faster.
His right hand, like an eagle's claw, instantly seized Huo Tianzheng's throat!
"Excellent!"
At this moment, Li Tianjiao suddenly clapped his hands and exclaimed.
Everyone around was stunned, for everything had happened too quickly; they had no chance to react at all!
And by the time the movements of the two men froze,
All the Huo family members were utterly dumbfounded!
They gasped in unison, drawing in sharp breaths.
They saw Huo Tianzheng with his neck gripped by Number Nineteen, his fingertips already piercing flesh and blood, clearly locking his entire throat.
As long as Number Nineteen willed it, a slight increase in pressure would surely kill Huo Tianzheng!
With his vital point captured, Huo Tianzheng dared not make any further moves. His eyes were widened to their absolute limit.
He knew he had lost completely!
This was no longer a time to admit defeat, but a time to save his own life.
"You lost!"
Number Nineteen's indifferent voice uttered.
Then, his gaze shifted away from Huo Tianzheng, who looked like a beaten dog, and instead provocatively turned towards Huo Yuanzhen opposite him!
Huo Yuanzhen's pupils contracted sharply, and then he stood up, "In this battle, we, the Huo family, are indeed outmatched!"
"Heh, it's good you concede. I thought you wouldn't!"
Li Tianjiao sneered again, as if he could already hear the trumpets of victory!
It was only then that Number Nineteen tossed Huo Tianzheng to the ground.
Huo Tianzheng spat out blood and quickly clutched his neck.
He looked at Number Nineteen with terror. Number Nineteen's arm, struck by him, was completely dislocated and severely deformed, clearly also fractured. Yet, Number Nineteen seemed like a machine that felt no pain.
This person was too terrifying!
Was this the true warrior of the War God Legion?
Number Nineteen turned and walked towards Ling Feng, saluting, "Report, mission complete!"
"Fall in!"
Ling Feng uttered two words indifferently.
It was as if he had merely sent Number Nineteen out for a stroll from the beginning.
Number Nineteen responded with a "Yes," then raised his arm and reset it, before falling into formation.
*Crack!*
The crisp sound of bone dislocating and then resetting sent shivers through everyone!
Was that it?!
This martial contest, which had begun with so much suspense, had concluded so quickly?
The two men had only exchanged blows for about half a minute, hadn't they?
Everything was happening too fast!
Ling Feng took a step forward, staring at Huo Yuanzhen, and said coldly, "As promised, from today onwards, the Huo family…"
"Wait, our Huo family only fielded one fighter. We still have others. We haven't lost yet!"
Huo Yuanzhen suddenly gritted his teeth and roared.
At this moment, a group of people also rose from behind Huo Yuanzhen.
They appeared quite imposing!
Even Li Tianjiao couldn't help but frown slightly, "What do you mean by this? Are you bullying us with numbers and power? Shameless in defeat?"
"You're talking too much today!"
Ling Feng glanced back at Li Tianjiao with a pout.
Li Tianjiao shrugged, "It seems you're also talking a lot. Alright, now that face has been regained and revenge has been served, isn't it time to get down to business?"
The casual conversation between the two left everyone somewhat bewildered.
What was going on?
But as all the experts of the Huo family's imposing aura surged, Ling Feng casually waved his hand!
Instantly, the surroundings transformed into a sea of corpses and blood!
The scent of gunpowder even permeated the air!
In an instant, everyone's imposing aura completely collapsed!
Even Li Tianjiao couldn't help but frown, stepping back, his gaze towards Ling Feng filled with extreme apprehension.
"Is this your witchcraft illusion? How did it suddenly become so powerful? You almost fooled me!"
To Li Tianjiao's exclamation, Ling Feng merely shook his head faintly, "I told you long ago, you are too weak before me now!"
As his voice fell, Ling Feng stared at Huo Yuanzhen and said coldly, "You have no chance. Surrender, or face annihilation!"
Huo Yuanzhen's eyes widened, his breathing becoming extremely rapid, staring intently at Ling Feng.
He knew that what he was seeing was definitely not real, but some kind of术法 (shùfǎ - sorcery/technique) that targeted the human mind, yet he still couldn't break free from this terrifying pressure!
When people reach the peak of fear, they exhibit various reactions.
Some burst into mad laughter.
Some flee in uncontrolled panic!
Others suffer a complete mental breakdown and are utterly ruined!
But more often, some become completely frenzied, forcing out all their potential.
Huo Yuanzhen was now in this state. After reaching the extreme of fear, he began to roar at Ling Feng, "I refuse to believe you can kill all of my Huo family…"
*Boom!*
A surge of fiery golden flames erupted!
Instantly, Huo Yuanzhen was incinerated into a charred husk!
Everyone around was so terrified they were stunned.
Huo Tianzheng, who had just regained some strength, trembled all over and fainted dead away!
Too terrifying!
*Clang!*
Huo Yuanzhen, now a charred husk, fell to the ground with a dull thud!
Exclamations erupted from the surroundings!
"Ah! The Ancestor is dead!"
"Our Ancestor has been killed!"
"He's dead, truly dead!"
"Ancestor!"
As these cries went out, Ling Feng began to approach everyone step by step!
Huo Yuanzhen on the ground was not yet dead, but Ling Feng needed him to appear in a near-death state to intimidate everyone!
Therefore, as Ling Feng advanced towards everyone.
The Huo family members who had been preparing to fight to the death all cowered!
"No, I don't want to die!"
"Don't kill me!"
Some even began to beg for mercy.
As Ling Feng approached, he directly picked up the charred husk of Huo Yuanzhen from the ground. The fiery golden flames reappeared, and this time, some of the charred outer layer on Huo Yuanzhen's body fell off.
When some saw Huo Yuanzhen's rapid breathing, they were so terrified they couldn't even pass gas!
