I'm bound to the World-Destroying Witch

Chapter 81. Hey, I'm alive again!
Blood was still flowing from the corpse on the ground. Because of death, the replication function had disappeared, and the appearance of the middle-aged man had long since reverted to Xia Feng's face and body.

Having confirmed that Xia Feng was indeed dead, Wang Jue still cautiously looked around, when suddenly he felt a chill on the back of his neck.

As his pupils contracted sharply, the silver pendant around his neck shattered with a bang, and a faint purple halo appeared, repelling the figure that had suddenly appeared behind him.

"There's quite a lot of good stuff," Xia Feng thought to himself, forced to retreat to a distance.

After exiting the Nirvana state, he chose to gather his physical body behind the King. Countless pale flames appeared out of thin air and instantly formed a human shape. However, the King reacted quickly and used his trump card to send him flying, giving him no chance to launch a successful sneak attack.

Xia Feng glanced at his bare body, and with a thought, the Vermilion Bird Demon Armor transformed into a white swallowtail coat to cover his body.

Wang Jue turned around, glanced at Xia Feng, then looked at the identical corpse on the ground, his expression slightly somber.

He clearly sensed that the spiritual pressure released when Xia Feng ambushed him had actually reached the third level!

He was already surprised enough by the upgrade from level one to level two, but now it's level three?

What's going on?

impossible.

Even if Xia Feng is a genius, it is absolutely impossible for him to jump from the first level to the third level in a month!

"Who exactly are you?" Wang Jue stared intently at Xia Feng.

Xia Feng sensed the immense spiritual pressure surging within his soul, like a pool of water suddenly turning into a vast river, instantly breaching the dam. He felt his entire body brimming with power, capable of destroying the heavens and the earth!

I am dead.

Then I came back to life and became stronger! Xia Feng felt that the Vermilion Bird Armor's ability was really good, much more useful than the Forest Scepter.

Xia Feng smiled and waved in greeting: "Hello, Your Highness, I am Xia Feng's younger brother, Xia Ye~"

"Younger brother?" The king's face darkened. Did this kid think he was a fool? The older brother was already at the second level, yet the younger brother still wanted to be a third-level expert?
Before he could say anything, Xia Feng brandished his blood-flame-covered broadsword, coldly roaring as he charged forward:
"Lister! You killed my own brother, I will make you pay with your blood!"

The king's expression changed slightly, and his figure disintegrated into purple petals as he hurriedly retreated.

He grew up in luxury and rarely practiced close combat skills; most of the spirit suits he learned were ranged attack types.

Therefore, he was a standard mage, and as a fellow third-tier spirit master, he dared not easily get close to others.

Whizzing--

The two darted around in the space, purple petals drifting ahead, while Xia Feng, whose shoulder blades shimmered with azure flames and feathers, transformed into white lightning and chased after them.

Xia Feng realized that even with Thunder Step, Two-Tailed Fox, and Vermilion Bird Feather Flame, he still couldn't catch up with this guy.

"Damn, what kind of spirit armor did this guy learn? His speed is insane!" Xia Feng was stunned. Wang Jue was incredibly good at hiding. Judging by this terrifying speed, it must be at least a B-grade speed-type spirit armor.

I guess the prince learned it specifically to save his life.

“Bang bang bang bang bang!!!”

Seeing that he couldn't catch up with the King, Xia Feng unleashed a barrage of skills from behind, creating a dense, swirling mass of arc-shaped blood waves that caused the entire enclosed house to collapse once more with a deafening roar.

Smoke and firelight filled the air.

Xia Feng felt that if he were to fight Mu Qingtong in his current state, he could easily beat that little witch!
Yeah, the kind of spanking where they take off your pants, hang you up, and spank you!
A world-destroying witch? Nothing special~
His ego inflated, he suddenly wanted to practice his skills against the Little Witch.

[Spiritual pressure reaches level three (Rebirth state: can be maintained for 30 minutes)]

[Copy bit +1]

[Current copy slot: 2+1 (Exiting rebirth state, the artifact located in this copy slot will be temporarily sealed and cannot be used)]

[Current Spirit Artifact Slots: Forest Scepter (C), Vermilion Bird Armor (B)]

[Currently, there is no way to replicate this magical artifact.]

Unfortunately, the King has no magical artifacts, not even an N-level one. He's really pathetic. [Linkability: 88%-89%]

Seeing that he couldn't catch up at all, Xia Feng stopped and didn't bother to chase anymore. Wang Jue took the opportunity to open the Boundless Field and quickly jumped into the field's protected area, then turned the barrier off.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief and turned around, his gaze fixed intently on the man in the distance.

He finally understood: this strange and monstrous fellow was still the same Xia kid! He just didn't know how he had managed to acquire two bodies.

And can the second body also obtain even stronger spiritual pressure?
This reminded him of Master Ba's Vermilion Bird Demon Armor, but Master Ba's demon armor could cause his spiritual pressure to jump one rank after it was destroyed.

If the physical body is destroyed, then one is truly dead, and there will be no spiritual pressure surge.

Xia Feng's current state looks even more outrageous and bizarre, and doesn't seem like the Vermilion Bird Demon Armor of Master Ba.

As he pondered, the king's thoughts became increasingly chaotic. He couldn't understand it, he just couldn't understand it at all.

But the only thing he understood was that this kid surnamed Xia had to die!
Such freakish geniuses, who appear to be first-tier minor spirit masters but actually possess third-tier strength, should be nipped in the bud and prevented from growing up!
"I must say, Xia Feng, you have indeed surprised me greatly."

Wang Jue picked up the mushroom, glanced at Xia Feng, and chuckled, "So don't worry, after I complete the birth ceremony, I'll deal with you and see what secrets you're hiding."

[Linkability: 92%-93%]

Xia Feng blinked, said nothing, and quietly watched as Wang Jue carried the mushrooms to a huge instrument.

The instrument chamber was a hollow, circular shape, resembling a Ferris wheel. The Duke opened the door and attached the mushroom to the human frame inside. The mushroom struggled angrily, but to no avail.

Click-clack—the alloy locks on the limbs and neck snapped shut, and the hatch slammed shut.

Since Xia Feng was unexpectedly outrageous and powerful, the King naturally didn't bother to deal with him personally anymore, and instead reimplemented the alternative plan.

It just takes a bit longer.

The bottom of this instrument chamber contains an extremely rare dream-cursing brain, scientifically known as the Dream Weaver.

In order to control this brain, make it obedient, and ensure the stability and realism of the dreams, he had his researchers conduct countless experiments, and finally created this perfect capsule device to control the dream weaver.

While adjusting the instruments at the control panel, Wang Jue looked up at Xia Feng, who stood outside with a curious gaze, and said with a faint smile:
"What are you waiting for? Aren't you going to run away now?"

"what?"

Xia Feng looked up in confusion, "Why did you run away?"

The middle-aged man smiled faintly and said, "Once I gain the recognition of my queen, it will be too late for you to escape."

"Hmm, what you said makes a lot of sense." Xia Feng rubbed his chin, but his face showed no urgency. He slowly said, "But even if I escape, I think Lord King will do everything he can to catch me and kill me, right?"

"You seem to know me quite well."

The king's lips curled into a gentle smile. "But geniuses always receive preferential treatment. I will only kill you, not your family."

"Well, I really should thank you!"

[Linkability: 96%-97%]

Wang Jue pushed all the sliders on the control panel to the top, looked up, and said:

"I just remembered something. Your engagement with Mu Qingtong was one that I agreed to, wasn't it?"

The middle-aged man's gentle smile revealed a hint of mockery. "Don't worry, kid, I'll make sure your fiancée is taken care of after you die. After all, I have a few unmarried adopted sons."

Xia Feng had no time to pay attention to the king's provocation, because he could feel that a spiritual connection between him and the queen was rapidly expanding and becoming incredibly clear.
