635: Evil God

"You four, still want to fight?"

Xie Feng held the chanyu sword, looking down at the four people pinned to the ground.

Although there was an error in the plan, things still had to move forward.

Li Xi looked up at the sky and sighed. "The winner takes all. I am willing to follow your lead."

He didn't beg for mercy, nor did he explain his previous actions.

Xie Feng was only keeping them alive because they were still useful.

Beyond that, no matter how much he said, it wouldn't sway the other's mind.

This Li Xi was the first to jump out and the first to back down; one had to admit he was quite the pragmatist.

However, Xie Feng needed someone to take the lead right now.

With a wave of his hand, he withdrew the strand of sword light pinning him down.

"You may get up."

Once freed from his restraints, Li Xi stood up from the ground.

"Many thanks, Alliance Leader!" he said, cupping his hands.

Facing Xie Feng, who was also in poor condition, he didn't choose to strike again; the previous battle had made Li Xi deeply understand the gap in their strength.

Even if he did, he would certainly be the one to lose in the end.

And Li Xi was willing to believe that this time, Xie Feng would absolutely not give him another chance.

After all, there were still three others; killing the chicken to warn the monkeys would be an excellent choice.

So after getting up, he stood to the side, waiting for Xie Feng's next instructions.

"Mm," Xie Feng nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Chen De also hurriedly spoke up, "Me too, me too! Alliance Leader, I was just joking with you earlier, please don't take it to heart."

He then patted his chest while pledging his loyalty to Xie Feng. "As I said before, if you tell me to go east, I'll never dare go west!"

This Jian Fan was the same, wavering back and forth; just moments ago, he had even told Xie Feng to do the honorable thing himself, yet now he was surrendering without the slightest hesitation.

But he still had a use for this person, so Xie Feng also withdrew the sword light pinning Chen De down.

"Get up."

Seeing that the other party still hadn't gotten up even after he'd withdrawn the sword light, he said flatly.

Chen De jumped up immediately upon hearing this and said to Xie Feng with tears of gratitude, "Thank you, Alliance Leader! Thank you, Alliance Leader!"

As for the embarrassment of being pinned to the ground after attacking, it was completely invisible now.

Ci Bing also took a deep breath. Her pure, ethereal, and otherworldly aura completely vanished.

She put on her kindest and sweetest smile. "What Hall Master Jian said earlier is right; we were just joking."

Xuan Ni was silent for a while, but in the end, he chose to lower his head.

When he looked up again, his face was filled with a gentle smile that was even more convincing than Ci Bing's.

"Alliance Leader, uh... would you believe me if I said that was just a warm-up? Anyway, let's hurry up and set off."

For these two, Xie Feng also withdrew the sword lights from them.

Regardless, his goal had been achieved: making the four of them wary of him, though now they were perhaps a bit too wary.

After Xuan Ni and Ci Bing had also gotten up, Xie Feng spoke. "Now that the restraints on all of you are gone, why don't you try again? Perhaps you'll win this time."

This time, Chen De was the first to speak. "How can you say such things, Alliance Leader? We already said it was just a joke. How could we ever have the guts to actually move against you?"

As he spoke, a faint blood-red light flashed through his eyes.

Although the strike Xie Feng had unleashed earlier was immensely powerful, it wasn't enough to defeat Chen De.

As for the feeling of danger he had sensed, it certainly hadn't come from that move.

In other words, he still hadn't managed to force Xie Feng to use his trump card.

Regarding this, the legendary Supreme Holy Mother was not very satisfied.

"Heh," Xie Feng simply replied.

The other three only gave sheepish laughs at his question, repeatedly claiming it was impossible and that they would never do such a thing.

Xie Feng didn't say anything more. None of them were fools; a final warning was enough.

If they were smart, they would know what they should and shouldn't do next.

"Let's go."

After saying this, Xie Feng didn't move, but the four of them understood his meaning.

So they all put away their respective Spiritual Treasures and walked ahead of Xie Feng, leaving their backs completely exposed and undefended to him.

Only after the four of them started moving did Xie Feng follow, chanyu sword in hand.

And at the place where they had previously fought, a blurry figure appeared at some unknown time.

Watching the receding backs of the five, the figure murmured, "Ultimate Nine Swords, Sword Heart Art..."

A hint of reminiscence flashed in its eyes.

In that great war, he had been nothing more than an insignificant minor character.

Then, he suddenly looked toward a certain place deep within the Inheritance Space, his brow furrowing slightly.

What's happening?

There seems to be some unusual activity there.

At the thought of what was in that location, the blurry figure's aura instantly changed, and then it vanished from the spot... "We've arrived."

Chen De's group delved deeper toward the center of the inheritance. At Xie Feng's command, the four of them quickly stopped in their tracks.

This seemed to be a battlefield from a distant era; even after so many years, one could still feel the murderous aura.

They all looked at Xie Feng, waiting for his next instruction.

Xie Feng pondered for a moment before choosing to step forward.

At the same time, as he approached step by step, a 'person' with an incredibly strange aura appeared opposite him.

In terms of aura, it was on par with Xie Feng, both being at the Quasi-Saint level after having Severed One Corpse.

The two sides gradually drew closer, and in the next moment, the battle was on the verge of breaking out.

Xie Feng started with a straight sword strike aimed at the entity's head.

One must know that even for a Quasi-Saint, they wouldn't easily allow their head to be harmed.

Yet the opponent neither dodged nor avoided it, allowing Xie Feng to slice its head off.

After the head flew off, another sword qi followed.

Uncannily accurate, its target was precisely that severed head.

However, when this sword qi struck the head, everyone was stunned.

Upon being hit, the head burst into countless droplets of black liquid with a bang.

Then, it coalesced back into a head and reattached itself to its body.

It twisted its neck and charged at Xie Feng again as if nothing had happened.

Xie Feng and the others were surprised; first, because they hadn't expected such a thing to happen, and second, because this was suspected to be related to the Evil God.

Because this scene was simply too similar to, and too consistent with, the characteristics of being corrupted by the Evil God in Legends.

Could the requirement of this stage be for them to step in and eliminate this entity?

Chen De was surprised because, seeing the opponent completely unharmed, he suddenly thought of himself.

Wasn't this exactly the kind of ability he possessed?

At the same time, a faint, negligible connection also pointed toward one existence—the Evil God!
