Chapter 303: Chapter 303: Solo Battle with the Desert King, Third Combat State
“Could it be, Sect Master Ye is really a high-level cultivator from the Spirit Sea Realm, or even a Great Power from the Divine Origin Realm, unafraid even of the Desert King?” Ding Qing was greatly shocked inwardly.
At that moment, Ye Feng said, “Princess, remember what I told you, act!”
“Got it!”
Hu Feifei, carrying a white short staff, instantly entered the First Combat State, her eyes sparkling with a pink glow, and her long hair also began to shine.
Then, her eyes shone even brighter.
A head of pink glowing hair began to flutter without wind as she entered the Second Combat State, her aura instantly climbing to the level of a middle-rank Demon King.
“That Fox Immortal is also a Demon King powerhouse, and within the ranks of Demon Kings, she is an extremely powerful existence!” Ding Qing and his four attendants were again greatly shaken and held the Misty Sect in even higher esteem.
At that moment, a sandstorm in the distance parted in the middle.
A figure wielding a giant axe walked out slowly.
He was a hundred yards tall, truly a giant; his form and appearance were not much different from the Human Race, but his skin was like rock, very rough.
A pair of eyes like blue gemstones flashed coldly.
Ye Feng quickly activated the Spirit Beast Pavilion’s scouting feature.
[Axe King: Middle-Rank Demon King Peak]
[Talent: Mountain Opening Divine Axe]
[Remark: Desert King, the strongest in the Barren Desert, possesses the Reversal Cyclone. When injured, his Qi and blood automatically transform into a terrifying cyclone as a counter-attack, very strong in battle, enduring in combat, and with tenacious vitality, hard to kill.]
“Reversal Cyclone… this seems to be somewhat troublesome!”
Ye Feng muttered.
He felt that the Desert King was like one wearing an inverted armor, and moreover, had a resilient vitality, hard to kill.
Fighting head-on, the Desert King was on par with Brother Flathead.
“If Brother Flathead absorbed the Spirit Blood of the Desert King, wouldn’t he become defyingly powerful in the future?” Ye Feng thought to himself.
However, that was just a thought.
Currently, the Desert King was in his peak condition; even if he teamed up with Hu Feifei, Ye Feng did not have absolute confidence in slaying the opponent.
“Sect… Sect Master Ye, the Desert King is coming, what should we do?” Ding Qing stood in place, and even though the Desert King was still in the distance, he already felt the terrible pressure and couldn’t move his feet at all.
This was the pressure of a superior upon an inferior!
Once the aura was released, no one could stand against it.
“Was it you who killed Shalibeta?”
The Desert King “Axe King” swung his Mountain Opening Giant Axe, his deep blue eyes staring straight at Hu Feifei, able to sense a terrifying aura coming from her.
“Mountain Opening Divine Axe!”
Without waiting for anyone to answer, the Desert King already launched an attack, and the move he used was his powerful innate talent.
He leaped high and then brought down his attack towards them, a moonlight colored axelight slashing from the depths of the sky. The trajectory as it fell was clearly visible and continued to absorb the power of moonlight in the process, becoming increasingly terrifying.
Ye Feng noticed the axelight was very fast.
He could see its trajectory but was already too late to dodge.
“Sect Master, I can do it!”
Hu Feifei’s aura surged, pushing Ye Feng away for dozens of miles. Wielding the white short staff like a Goddess of War, she executed hundreds of strikes in an instant, meeting the axelight.
Crackle!
In the astonished eyes of Ye Feng, Ding Qing, and the others, the white short staff was split into fragments, shattered and collapsing. Even Hu Feifei was hit by the Qi blade, her body disintegrating into powder, like a sprinkle of pink starlight falling.
“Damn it!” Ye Feng clenched his fist, burning with rage.
[Hu Feifei’s Upgrade Energy: 68%]
The system notification suddenly sounded.
“Princess is alright?” Ye Feng was stunned and looked toward the pink starlight.
They formed a super high-speed vortex, which quickly reassembled and solidified into the graceful figure of Hu Feifei.
Even the white short staff was restored.
“That was terrifying!”
Hu Feifei grabbed the white short staff, her little vixen face full of shock.
The Desert King in front of her was arguably the strongest opponent she had encountered.
“She has been reborn!”
The Desert King, Ding Qing, and the others were greatly shocked.
If it were an ordinary cultivator who had been hit by that strike, they would have perished on the spot, but this beautiful Fox Immortal surprisingly did not die!
“Die!”
The Desert King took a deep breath and once again urged the giant axe, displaying the talent “Mountain Opening Divine Axe.”
A second glaring axelight slashed down.
The sparse Spiritual Energy around them and the Moonlight Power all merged into a light silver brilliance into the axelight, making it sharper and more massive.
“Stay back.”
Ye Feng grabbed Ding Qing and the others; a flash of silver light passed, and they instantly appeared dozens of miles away to watch the battle.
“Instantaneous Movement!”
Ding Qing and the others watched Ye Feng in shock.
“Watch the battle!” Ye Feng reminded in a deep voice.
Ding Qing and company quickly shut their mouths, looking towards the center of the battlefield from a distance.
In the high sky.
Hu Feifei was once again cleaved into a splendid array of pink starlight by the axe’s radiance, successfully amassing quite a bit of upgrade energy, and quickly re-formed.
“You possess the talent of immortality?”
The Desert King narrowed his eyes slightly, “Heh! You must have a Life Origin. Once it runs out, this king wants to see if you can still resurrect!”
“Mountain Opening Divine Axe!”
The Desert King swung the enormous axe once more, pressing down on Hu Feifei in combat.
The terrifying axe light descended, and Hu Feifei still couldn’t match up.
This wasn’t an act, she truly was no match.
[Hu Feifei’s Upgrade Energy: 74%]
“So strong!”
Hu Feifei exploded from the hits, and after reforming her shape, her breathing grew more rapid, nearly unable to maintain even the Second Combat State.
“Still not dead?”
The Desert King roared.
He did not continue to wield the Mountain Opening Divine Axe.
This was an innate talent, extremely draining on strength; to be able to cast it three times in a row in a short period was quite commendable.
To cast it again would be too much pressure.
Boom!
The axe, heavy as a mountain, descended, and Hu Feifei instantaneously struck with hundreds of staff blows, only managing to shift its trajectory.
“Get lost!” The Desert King reversed the giant axe, sending Hu Feifei flying with the back of the axe, then, he kept swinging his enormous fists and the giant axe, relentlessly beating her.
Hu Feifei’s body broke apart continuously, yet kept reassembling.
“Such a twisted regeneration talent!”
The Desert King grew more shocked as he fought.
“Sect Master Ye, Fox Immortal is no match, are you sure you won’t take action?” Ding Qing watched, his teeth chattering, fists clenched tight.
“There’s no need for me to act,” Ye Feng shook his head.
If it was just to slay the Desert King, he could use the Spatial Compass to assist Hu Feifei, taking advantage of instantaneous movement to target the opponent’s weaknesses.
In that case, there might be a chance to slay him.
But Hu Feifei had said that she didn’t need help.
Therefore, Ye Feng chose to watch from the sidelines.
Meanwhile, Hu Feifei, who was completely suppressed, began to emit an even more brilliant glow.
It was the energy she had accumulated while being beaten.
This energy couldn’t be used for upgrading, but it could be used to enter a higher combat state, as the saying went:
The pinker the hair, the fiercer the fight!
“Ha!”
Hu Feifei suddenly roared, her whole body enveloped in pink light, her long hair instantly growing from waist-length to three meters long, wildly dancing in the air.
A pair of fox ears began to elongate, with pink energy swirling around them.
Those pink eyes were like gemstones, featuring a peculiar six-pointed star formation, and a flame mark appeared on her forehead.
Boom!
The terrifying air wave erupted, pushing the Desert King back by hundreds of meters.
“The Third Combat State, brilliant!”
Ye Feng clapped his hands together, excited.
Apparently, to enter the Third Combat State, one must first withstand beatings and accumulate energy; it can’t be accessed as easily as the First and Second States.
Ding Qing and the others could all see Hu Feifei had grown much stronger and also became excited with her.
“A breakthrough in the midst of battle, how is this possible?”
The Desert King’s face turned ugly.
He felt Hu Feifei’s strength had leaped from that of an ordinary middle-rank Demon King all the way to the brink of an upper-rank Demon King.
“Mountain Opening Divine Axe!”
To resolve Hu Feifei once and for all, the Desert King burned his bloodline and once again split the heavens and earth with a terrifying axe light.
Swish!
Boundless power surged forth, enhancing the axe light.
“Repeated Staff Shadows!”
Hu Feifei held her staff with both hands, instantly delivering three hundred and sixty-five blows, each landing in a different spot, forming a peculiar circular formation.
Boom!
The axe light cleaved down, striking the circular formation.
In an instant, boundless brilliance burst forth.
The dazzling light hurt everyone’s eyes, leaving nothing but a vast whiteness in their vision, which only gradually recovered after several breaths.
