Fox Demon: The villain at the beginning

Chapter 436 I Am the Peak, A Young Girl's Heart
"This Jin Renfeng reminds me of Zhang Feng, the Black Sword, who broke away from the royal family and established the Zhang family on his own in history."

An elder of the Wen family.

Upon hearing this, the head of the Wen family nodded in agreement.

More than four hundred years ago, Zhang Feng of the Black Sword was just like Jin Renfeng today, a man of extraordinary talent who single-handedly supported a top-tier family.

"It seems that our aristocratic families, by clinging to old ways, have overlooked many talented individuals!"

"The head of the Wen family sighed."

. . . . . . . . .

The sword energy slowly receded. From within the smoke and dust, a massive crater, a kilometer in diameter, slowly emerged.

The rubble rolled down and fell into the deep pit with a crackling sound.

After waiting for a while and seeing no movement from below, Jin Renfeng muttered to himself,

"I hope I didn't kill this guy!"

If Wang Quanbaye dies, then things will be completely out of control today.

With his beloved son, on whom he had placed so much hope, dead, Wang Quan Shouzhuo could very well use this as a pretext to launch an attack on Shenhuo Mountain Manor.

It's not impossible that war could even break out over this.

Now that all the major families of the Dao Alliance have gathered here, they certainly won't just stand by and watch. It might even develop into an internal conflict between the two major factions.

Ultimately, no one can say for sure how many casualties will result.

Therefore, although Jin Renfeng and the Wang Quan family had a long-standing feud, he knew that now was not the time to completely break ties with them.

Fortunately, the worst-case scenario did not occur.

A rock was forcibly pushed aside, and Wang Quanbaye stepped out from it.

At this moment, his clothes were tattered and torn, his body was covered with small wounds, and blood stained his entire body, making him look like a beggar.

Upon seeing Wang Quanba Ye appear, Jin Renfeng breathed a sigh of relief.

Regardless of the circumstances, as long as the imperial power and hegemony survive, things will not deteriorate to the worst possible state.

Jin Renfeng frowned as he looked Wang Quanba up and down.

Logically speaking, that sword strike should have severely injured Wang Quanbaye, even if it failed to kill him.

How come he doesn't seem to have suffered any serious injuries?
"Wang Quan Ba ​​Ye, can you still hold on now?"

Jin Renfeng asked.

"It's just a sword aura!"

Although Wang Quanbaye looked disheveled, his voice was full of energy.

"I have the King's Sword protecting me. Even if I take a blow from your sword, what can you do?"

"Did they use the Sword of Royal Power?"

Jin Renfeng nodded, understanding.

Unlike magical artifacts in other worlds, magical artifacts in the Fox Spirit World provide an all-around boost once acquired.

Attack, defense, and mana will all increase accordingly. It's as if you've gained extra cultivation power out of thin air.

That is why the heads of those top families can rival peak-level demon kings with just a single inherited magic weapon.

The reason why Wang Quan Ba ​​Ye was able to block his sword energy was probably because the Wang Quan Sword amplified his protective escape light.

"Now that I have the King's Sword in hand, I can be regarded as a demon emperor."

"It's normal to block a sword aura."

Jin Renfeng thought to himself.

In fact, based on the enhancement of the Wangquan Sword, Wangquan Baye is now even more superior to him in terms of defense against escape light.

After all, the combination of three forces cannot be used for protective escape light.

"However, since this royal power and hegemony are so robust, I can now proceed with my actions with confidence!"

With a stomp of his foot, Wang Quanba took flight and charged straight toward the figure in the green robe.

Jin Renfeng smiled slightly, and the sword in his hand rang out with a clear sound, and a golden-red sword aura immediately surged up.

boom--

The two sword energies clashed in mid-air, producing a thunderous sound.

A ripple of magical power spread out, stirring up a fierce hurricane.

Under the fierce slash, the golden sword energy shattered on the spot, and Wang Quanbaye was once again sent flying.

It flew for nearly a hundred feet before finally coming to a stop.

Despite the pain all over his body, Wang Quanba gritted his teeth and charged forward again.

Jin Renfeng raised his sword to meet the challenge.

One was gold, the other crimson; the two sword energies clashed sharply.

Amidst the back-and-forth of offense and defense, the two, like divine dragons, soared straight into the vast sky.

Hundreds of feet of sword energy and divine light spanned the sky, colliding continuously. Ripples of magical power spread outwards.

From below, they resemble two ancient gods.

The rumbling sound resounded throughout the heavens.

"Jin Renfeng! Today you will surely be defeated by me!"

Wang Quan Ba ​​Ye roared and slashed down with his Wang Quan Sword like a storm.

When the sword flashes, all that can be seen is the light of the sword, not the figure of the person.

It was as if a dozen swords were attacking from all directions.

Jin Renfeng casually swung his sword, the Sword Intent of Breaking Law wrapped with the power of divine fire, like a swimming dragon, and with just one sweep, he swept away the sky full of sword energy.

"The sea has no bounds, the sky is its shore; I stand atop the mountain, the peak is mine!"

Jin Renfeng brandished his longsword and said loudly.

"You're far from being able to defeat me!"

Below, Huai Zhu stared blankly at the man in the air, her eyes unfocused.

The young woman was deeply shocked by the young figure whose every move seemed to hold the heavens and the earth in his palm.

The girl never imagined that her senior brother had this side to him.

"He used to beg for mercy from Qin Lan all the time!"

Huai Zhu murmured.

In the girl's mind, Jin Renfeng was always the image of a gentle senior brother.

Although he has some minor flaws, he often makes his father angry and doesn't know how to read people's expressions.

But generally speaking, he is a down-to-earth and honest person.

However, after witnessing her fight with all her might, the girl's past memories were completely shattered.

Powerful, invincible, confident, proud, sharp-tongued—

Everything was different from the girl's memory.

However, this spirited side of him also involuntarily captivated the young girl.

Although she was still young, the girl had already fantasized about her future husband.

Exceptionally gifted, handsome, refined, and charming...

Every word imaginable, the girl had fantasized about.

When a young girl first falls in love, she hopes that her future husband will be an unparalleled hero or a great man.

Huai bamboo is no exception.

Upon seeing the man's figure in the air, the girl's past fantasies seemed to find a final home.

. . . . . . .

Dang Dang Dang——

The sound of metal clashing against metal rang out continuously.

After exchanging more than thirty blows, Wang Quanbaye suffered a series of defeats.

With each collision, he would be forced to retreat a hundred feet.

The Heavenly Eye technique strikes directly at the weaknesses in the Qi channels, while the Sword Intent of Breaking the Law dismantles the spells, combined with even more powerful sword energy.

The sword energy of Wang Quan Ba ​​Ye was no match for him at all.

If Jin Renfeng hadn't wanted to avoid causing any deaths and instead pursue a steady and cautious approach, Wang Quanbaye would probably have been killed on the spot long ago.

Sword energy rained down, and Wang Quanbaye was like a ball, being bounced around.

"What, even now, you're still unwilling to admit defeat?"

Jin Renfeng asked with a smile.

Wang Quanba's face was ashen, and he remained silent.

Jin Renfeng chuckled lightly and casually slashed down with the sword energy in his hand.

boom--

The sword energy of the king was sliced ​​open as if it were a pastry.

The sword energy slashed through the sky, striking the King's Sword heavily.

Wang Quanba's body plummeted like a meteorite, crashing headfirst into the ground. The immense force created a deep crater in the hard earth.

"You may not be very skilled, but you're quite resilient."

Jin Renfeng landed and said mockingly,
"Having withstood so many attacks, he can still move freely. This is truly the first time I've seen something like this."

"Don't be proud!"

Wang Quanba gritted his teeth and stood up, his body stained with mud and blood, making him look like a mud figure.

Another wound appeared on his forehead, and blood gushed out, making it difficult for him to even open his eyes.

"You'll be defeated by me sooner or later!"

"Judging from your expression, it seems like you have some trump card up your sleeve!"

Jin Renfeng said calmly, then suddenly seemed to remember something and exclaimed in surprise,
"You're not still hoping that the King's Sword can absorb power, are you?!"

Wang Quanba looked startled, as if his secret had been exposed.

Seeing this, Jin Renfeng found it quite amusing.

"We've exchanged dozens of blows now, haven't you noticed anything unusual at all?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Quan Baye was startled and immediately released his spiritual sense to sense the Wang Quan Sword in his hand.

The absorbed mana and spells are usually stored within the sword for the host to use.

Therefore, as long as one's spiritual sense probes into the sword, one can accurately check the degree of power absorbed.

However, at this moment, the sword was completely empty, with no magical power present.

"Impossible! Why can't my King's Sword absorb anything?"

Wang Quanba was shocked. He turned to look at Jin Renfeng and shouted.
"What kind of sorcery did you use?"

Why didn't my King's Sword work?

"Magic?"

Jin Renfeng snorted coldly.

"Does that mean all spells that break the King's Sword are sorcery?"

"The King's Sword is invincible among humans."

Wang Quanbaye proclaimed loudly.
"How could any magic possibly break through the profound meaning of the King's Sword?"

Seeing that he was still stubborn, Jin Renfeng couldn't help but shake his head.

"You can't talk about ice with a summer insect!"

Although the Wangquan Sword is powerful, it is far from being invincible.

Ultimately, the King's Sword is merely a magical artifact, and its ability to absorb magic is also just a form of magic.

As for spells, whether it's the Heavenly Eye Technique cutting off the energy channels or the spell-breaking ability of the Spell-Breaking Sword Intent, they are enough to easily interrupt them, thus preventing them from activating their absorption power.

Furthermore, the Pure Yang Flame is not a simple power. As a treasure nurtured by the energy of heaven and earth, it is quite difficult for even the King's Sword to absorb it.

At least according to the observation of the Heavenly Eye Technique, from beginning to end, not a single trace of divine fire was ever absorbed by it.

With the combined power of Divine Fire, the Sword Intent of Breaking Law, and the Heavenly Eye, it was only natural that the King's Sword would become ineffective.

When his last trump card failed and he was further mocked by Jin Renfeng, Wang Quanba Ye immediately lost his temper.

He took a step forward, roared and shouted, and rushed towards Jin Renfeng without regard for anything else. He held the Wangquan Sword at his waist and suddenly thrust it out.

Such scattered tactics are naturally ineffective.

Jin Renfeng activated the power of his Heavenly Eye and shattered the sword energy with a casual movement.

He then kicked him, striking him squarely in the chest.

boom--

A cracking sound rang out, and Wang Quanba was instantly kicked away.

. . . . . . .

"It seems the outcome is now decided!"

On the cloud, Yang Yifang nodded.

"Then Wang Quan Ba ​​Ye has exhausted all his tricks and cannot possibly be a match for Junior Nephew Ren Feng."

"How did Junior Nephew Ke Renfeng resolve the profound mystery of the King's Power Sword?"

Li Jing'an looked puzzled.

They had only seen him turn defeat into victory with a casual sword strike, but they did not understand the reason behind it.

"It must be because Ren Feng infused pure Yang Flame into his sword energy."

Dongfang Guyue guessed.

"With the addition of divine fire, the nature of the sword energy has been altered. Naturally, the King's Sword has no way to deal with it!"

"I think it's more than that!"

Yang Yitan, who was behind them, spoke up at this moment.

"Sigh, what do you mean by that?"

Yang Yifang asked.

Yang Yitan stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and slowly said...
"Just now I used my Heavenly Eye to observe Brother Jin's moves."

"I discovered by chance that their moves are quite similar to those of our Yang family."

"By cutting off the energy channels to break the spell, every move lands at a key point in the energy channels."

"Although the moves are not exactly the same, the underlying principles are exactly the same."

"But our Yang family's Heavenly Eye cannot break through the profound meaning of the King's Power Sword."

Yang Yifang shook his head.

"It seems that Brother Jin also used other methods."

Yang sighed and said,
"Only he himself knows the specifics."

. . . . . . . .

Despite being kicked, Wang Quanba showed no sign of regaining his senses.

He scrambled to his feet and charged at Jin Renfeng like a wild beast.

Jin Renfeng raised his longsword and swept it horizontally, sending the opponent flying.

thump--

The king's power and ambitions collapsed.

The heavy blow to his chest made it difficult for him to breathe.

However, the next moment, he got up again and rushed towards Jin Renfeng without regard for anything else.

Seeing his appearance, Jin Renfeng showed a hint of disgust.

With a flick of his longsword, a golden-red sword aura immediately rolled out along the ground.

Rumbling--

Along the way, countless bits of soil and gravel were kicked up, turning into a wave of earth that rumbled past.

Seeing the sword energy coming, Wang Quan Baye could only hold the Wang Quan Sword in front of him.

clang--

The impact swept past with unstoppable force, and the white-robed figure was sent flying like an ant.

thump--

Royal power and hegemony were like a broken sack, crashing heavily to the ground.

"Since you admit you're no match, just admit defeat!"

Jin Renfeng stepped forward and pointed the tip of his sword at the man's throat.

"Who is this disgraceful act meant for?"

"I lost?"

Seeing the sword pointed at him, Wang Quanba's frenzied mind was suddenly jolted back to reality, as if doused with cold water.

"How could I possibly lose?"

He is the young master of the royal family, how could he lose to the nouveau riche disciples of Shenhuo Mountain Manor?

A voice inside him kept reminding him that he absolutely could not lose this time!

However, in reality, the gleaming sword light revealed the final outcome to him.

Jin Renfeng turned his head and looked at Wang Quan Shouzhuo in the distance.

Who will announce the results?

Wang Quan Shouzhuo's face was ashen, and he remained silent. His chest heaved violently.

"Master?"

Butler Fei looked incredulous and shook his head repeatedly.

Wang Quanzui, standing to the side, covered his lips with his hand, his eyes wide open, but he couldn't utter a word.

The entire square was completely silent.
