Sure enough, when Zou Feng unleashed a massive volley of Poison Fury Fire Lotus Seals, Chu Hang, though caught off guard, wasn’t helpless. He thrust out both fists, creating a terrifying whistling sound like a nearby mountain collapsing.
This was Chu Hang’s Primary Cultivation Skill—the Mountain-Shaking Fist.
Zou Feng needed to properly test the changes brought by his Seventh Grade Inner Qi, so he was more than happy to trade blows head-on with Chu Hang.
Meanwhile, Bian Yixia had also clashed with Song Sixing.
As for the Death Warriors who had followed Song Sixing in a suicidal charge, they hadn’t been of much use before Bian Yixia hammered them into paste.
Although these Death Warriors carried large amounts of explosive Poison Powder that detonated on contact, they were in an open area. A single swing of Bian Yixia’s hammer could blow it all away, making it utterly useless.
And while Song Sixing also cultivated the Six Harmonies Reincarnation Skill, he used two Iron Fans as his weapons.
The two Iron Fans constantly opened, closed, and spun in his hands, making for some rather flashy moves.
"Old Sixth, I thought that after advancing to Seventh Grade, you would have actually found a new way to use the Six Harmonies Reincarnation Skill, but it seems..."
Song Sixing didn’t respond, but the longer he fought, the more his heart pounded with shock.
’I’ve seen Bian Yixia fight more than once, so I’d already estimated her strength.’
’Before I launched this rebellion, I was certain that if I had to fight Bian Yixia, winning wouldn’t be a problem.’
’Besides, Bian Yixia just fought Sun Kai. Even though she won, she should be exhausted.’
’So why is Big Sis even stronger than before?’
’In front of her, my flashy, dazzling moves seem gaudy and impractical...’
In short, no matter how Song Sixing attacked, Bian Yixia could easily neutralize his moves with her plain and simple, yet heavy, hammer strikes.
"Impossible! Adoptive Father himself admitted I was the one with the most Talent!"
"There’s no reason for him to lie to me..."
"AHHHH!"
Song Sixing knew he couldn’t let this drag on, so he decisively unleashed his ultimate move. As his Iron Fans danced wildly, he himself began to spin relentlessly.
Instantly, a whirlwind as sharp as blades swirled up around him and swept toward Bian Yixia.
Seeing this, Bian Yixia let out a soft laugh. She swung her Double Hammers and began to spin as well, generating an even larger hurricane of Inner Qi.
The Six Harmonies Reincarnation Skill naturally included moves that used rotation to channel Inner Qi and amplify power.
To Zou Feng, it looked less like a duel and more like a dance-off...
As for his own opponent, Chu Hang, he was clearly at the end of his rope.
After trading blows for so long, Chu Hang was visibly exhausted, and his physical condition was rapidly deteriorating.
This was to be expected. Although Chu Hang had just managed to block Zou Feng’s Poison Fury Fire Lotus Seals with the Fist Force from his Mountain-Shaking Fist, the problem was that the Poison Domain had already taken shape.
Zou Feng’s now-sublimated Five Poison Creatures were on a completely different level than the Poison Powder used by Song Sixing’s Death Warriors.
When enhanced by Inner Qi, the Five Poison Creatures also gained some of the stickiness characteristic of "Love That Can Stretch and Contract at Will."
They were sticky and gooey, unable to be blown away even by strong winds.
So while it looked like Chu Hang had fought Zou Feng to a standstill, in reality, his fate was already sealed. As the Fire Lotus Seals continued to explode, the poisonous gas grew thicker and thicker, leaving him no escape.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
Amidst a fit of violent coughing, the deeply poisoned Chu Hang staggered back a few steps, feeling as if his lungs were being consumed by fire.
"You... you’re so vicious..."
He clutched his throat, his eyes filled with despair.
Zou Feng couldn’t be bothered to waste words on him. Employing the Drunken Immortal Moon Gazing Step, he swayed slightly and instantly vanished into the poisonous mist.
When he reappeared, he was already behind Chu Hang, moving like a phantom.
To prevent a desperate final counterattack, Zou Feng executed a Strong Man Locking Man, trapping Chu Hang in a chokehold from behind.
With the hand covering Chu Hang’s mouth, he channeled the Five Poison Fire Lotus Skill.
With his other hand, he performed the Great Universal Hand, soothing Chu Hang’s spirit to allow for a more peaceful death.
As a result, Chu Hang was indeed unable to launch a final counterattack and could only struggle helplessly for a moment.
The deep despair in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by a peaceful expression, as if he had calmly accepted the fact that he was about to die.
He soon stopped struggling and breathed his last with a faint smile on his lips.
A moment later, Zou Feng released Chu Hang. Tilting his head back, he inhaled, drawing all the surrounding poisonous mist into his mouth.
Judging by his expression, he was clearly still not satisfied...
This scene struck terror into the hearts of everyone watching, whether they were on Song Sixing’s side or their own.
The members of their own faction had previously seen Zou Feng display his incredible might when he forcefully killed Gu Yufan.
But that battle could have been described as a back-and-forth exchange.
Gu Yufan hadn’t been powerless to fight back; in fact, he’d caused Zou Feng quite a bit of trouble at the start.
Yet now, Chu Hang, who was also a Seventh Grade expert, seemed completely unable to give Zou Feng a satisfying fight...
With Zou Feng’s Seventh Grade duel decided and Song Sixing clearly at a disadvantage, Song Sixing’s men immediately lost all will to resist. All they wanted was to get away as fast as possible.
Specifically, they wanted to get as far away from Zou Feng as possible...
The battle lines crumbled.
With victory in sight, some of the faction members began hunting down the fleeing enemies, while others, like Zou Feng, quietly waited for Bian Yixia’s battle to conclude.
Everyone had a tacit understanding and no one intended to interfere.
After all, it was obvious that Bian Yixia intended to personally settle the score between herself and her sworn brother.
Not long after, the two clashing hurricanes finally dissipated as one of them faltered and stopped.
Immediately after, Song Sixing was sent flying backward with a pained howl, spitting a mouthful of blood.
After crashing to the ground, he still wore a look of utter disbelief, as if questioning his very existence. He muttered, "Impossible... Adoptive Father admitted it... I’m the one with the most Talent... This makes no sense... I..."
CLANG! Bian Yixia’s two Round Hammers slammed into the ground in front of Song Sixing.
And Bian Yixia, who was normally quite short, could now look down imposingly at Song Sixing as he lay sprawled on the ground.
Seeing the killing intent that filled her eyes, Song Sixing finally snapped back to his senses. "B-Big Sis..." he stammered. "I..."
"I was wrong! Don’t kill me... I’m your brother..."
Bian Yixia shook her head slightly. "If I don’t kill you, how will I answer to the brothers who died because of you?"
