As Zhou Feng's strength slowly grew stronger, his cultivation grew higher and higher while his passive Battle Instincts became even more powerful.
Zhou Feng dodged all of Gong Qu's seemingly terrifying attacks due to Battle Instinct.
And every time, he was just a hair away from touching him.
"This, this, this…"
"It can't be! Gong Qu seems to have been played?"
"Am I seeing things!?"
"…"
The onlookers originally thought that Gong Qu's sudden outburst could instantly knock Zhou Feng down.
That was because Gong Qu's strength was overwhelming.
Zhou Feng couldn't possibly be Gong Qu's match, yet the reality made everyone's jaws drop.
Gong Qu was like a monkey before Zhou Feng. He kept scratching randomly but couldn't even touch the corner of Zhou Feng's clothes.
Moreover, everyone could see that Zhou Feng didn't use any footwork technique.
The way he dodged was completely based on his body's instinct, and it seemed effortless.
Gong Qu seemed to have heard the crowd's comments of others, and his face started to turn red as if a blazing fire was burning in his heart.
But the more this happened, the more Gong Qu calmed himself down.
"Very good! It looks like you're not that useless! Next—"
Gong Qu, who had temporarily stopped attacking, did not forget to threaten Zhou Feng.
In his heart, he had only made a mistake just now. If he wanted to, crushing Zhou Feng would not be a problem at all.
The silent Zhou Feng once again launched a fierce attack before Gong Qu could continue.
Gong Qu had just stopped attacking when Zhou Feng's spear pierced straight through.
Gong Qu hadn't even finished his sentence!
In fact, Zhou Feng had always thought that speaking during a battle was an utterly stupid thing to do.
Wasn't talking nonsense during a life and death battle distracting?
"Enough! Mountain-Moving Rings! Come out!"
Zhou Feng's attitude and silence seemed to have angered Gong Qu.
'Does he really think he can finish me off!?'
Gong Qu had actually held back before, and he also thought it was because of this that Zhou Feng had just gained the upper hand.
However, the expressionless Zhou Feng, coupled with the strange gazes from the surroundings, made Gong Qu unable to bear it.
He had clearly always been in a good mood, but when he saw Zhou Feng's calm appearance, he felt that he was being mocked.
Hence, Gong Qu directly summoned two rings from his Soul Altar.
Mountain-Moving Rings! They looked like two round bracelets with relief sculptures of mountains on them.
An earthy yellow light directly enveloped the surroundings.
These Mountain-Moving Rings were Gong Qu's lifebound soul artifact, and the two were part of a set.
Once their power was displayed, they could even move a small mountain, which was why they were called Mountain-Moving Rings.
"Purple Jade Bell!"
Zhou Feng immediately summoned the Purple Jade Bell, and a small jade purple bell slowly floated above his head.
A faint purple light enveloped his entire body.
The heavy feeling from before instantly disappeared.
"Landslide!"
Gong Qu used all his strength to activate the Mountain-Moving Rings.
Instantly, the arena beneath his feet began to crack.
The invisible gravity was enough to crush Zhou Feng into meat paste.
But under the protection of the Purple Jade Bell, Zhou Feng was not affected at all.
One had to know that the Purple Jade Bell had already begun to transform into a spiritual artifact, and the Mountain-Moving Rings were only a soul artifact.
Gong Qu was simply dreaming if he wanted to rely on the Mountain-Moving Rings to suppress him.
The battle was not over!
The onlookers observed the intense battle between Zhou Feng and Gong Qu, and their faces were almost full of surprise.
They had never expected that Gong Qu couldn't even take down a Grade-8 Soul Altar piece of trash.
At first, they thought that given Gong Qu's strength, it would be a snap of the fingers to defeat Zhou Feng.
But now, the two sides were actually somewhat evenly matched, and Zhou Feng seemed to have the upper hand.
One had to know that one was a Grade-8 Soul Altar cultivator, and the other was a Grade-5 Soul Altar cultivator.
Zhou Feng could be considered to be fighting above his level!
"You actually used poison!?"
All of a sudden, Gong Qu felt his blood boil and instantly realized that he had been poisoned.
That's right! The Carefree Powder reappeared!
Zhou Feng had quietly scattered Carefree Powder, but Gong Qu discovered it just as it took effect.
Gong Qu then used his powerful Blood Qi to expel the Carefree Powder out of his body forcefully.
The Peerless Gu specialized in cultivating the body, so such a simple aphrodisiac would not affect Gong Qu at all.
Zhou Feng had already expected this. After all, the Carefree Powder was a minor skill. It was normal for it to have no effect.
Although the Carefree Powder didn't have much effect, it had at least angered Gong Qu once again.
"The power to move mountains!"
Gong Qu thought about how there were so many people watching behind him, and he didn't want to drag this out any longer.
If this continued, even if he won in the end, it would be quite embarrassing. Therefore, Gong Qu burned his Blood Qi and Spiritual Qi to use his strongest move.
The embryonic form of a mountain slowly appeared. Two Mountain-Moving Rings were placed on Gong Qu's two hands.
Gong Qu's entire aura instantly changed. It was thick and heavy.
Gong Qu threw another punch. This punch was slower than any previous one, but behind it was a mountain that directly smashed toward Zhou Feng.
The illusory image of the mountain continued to grow. The pressure around Zhou Feng increased by a notch as it got closer.
Zhou Feng immediately felt as if he had fallen into a deep swamp, and all his movements were restricted.
At this point, Zhou Feng also used all his strength to activate the Purple Jade Bell.
The leisurely chime of the bell seemed to come from the nine heavens.
With just a single sound, the shadow of the mountain collapsed.
If it was just a competition of power, the Purple Jade Bell, as a half-spiritual artifact, was much more powerful than the Mountain-Moving Rings.
"Impossible!"
Seeing that his strongest attack had been shattered, Gong Qu couldn't believe it at all.
How could he lose?
Just as Gong Qu was still wondering how this had happened, he suddenly felt a pain in his chest.
"Demon-Devouring Seal!"
The Demonic Qi around Zhou Feng's body surged wildly, and his black hair flew in the air.
The Demonic Qi on his body resonated with the Demonic Qi in Gong Qu's body and formed a mysterious demonic seal.
Then, Gong Qu was enveloped by the dense Demonic Qi, forming a demonic cocoon.
"This is the Grand Elder's famous ultimate skill? Impossible! How can someone successfully cultivate it?"
"It's over! Gong Qu is going to die!"
"This…"
The onlookers' pupils shrank when they saw this move. It was too representative, after all.
Wasn't this the Grand Elder's famous consummate skill, the Demon-Devouring Seal? How could anyone possibly learn this move?
That's right! This was the Demon-Devouring Seal of the Demon-Devouring Technique!
This move was too difficult to cultivate, so Zhou Feng had wanted to give up on cultivating it. However, he was somewhat unwilling. After all, this should be the most profound dao art he had come into contact with.
Originally, given his talent, he would never be able to learn it in his lifetime.
However, he had obtained another passive skill a day ago. It was this passive skill that had allowed him to enter the rudiments of the Demon-Devouring Seal directly.
It just so happened that Zhou Feng used Gong Qu to try his hand and see just how tyrannical this Demon-Devouring Seal was.
