I am rich in the fairy world

Chapter 1424 Double Loss
Hu Qing immediately decided that she should have Chen Feng send over more lightning balls.

"Ahhhhhh—" she screamed wildly, as if she had suffered a severe injury.

The explosion was too loud; she wasn't sure if Chen Feng could hear it. She secretly used her magic to slit her throat, spitting out puffs of blood mist. If she couldn't see or hear it, surely she could smell it?

Stay still and let yourself get beaten up.

Chen Feng felt good about himself and enjoyed the fight. He was 90% confident of killing Hu Qing, but the remaining 10% was due to his uncertainty about whether the Heavenly Dao behind Hu Qing would launch a surprise attack.

However, he had already locked this space with his imperial seal, so even if the Heavenly Dao came, it wouldn't be able to enter easily.

Exhausted from squeezing the lightning ball, Chen Feng could no longer lift his fingers and finally stopped attacking. He stared fixedly in Hu Qing's direction, his vision filled with a soul-piercing white. He couldn't see it, but he felt a sense of pleasure: Now, he's finally dead.

Gradually, the white light faded, and the world returned to its original state little by little. Thanks to the seal of Emperor Chenfeng, the outside world was unimpeded. The desolate landscape was brought in through the refraction of light, erasing the traces of the battle that had taken place here—oh, it couldn't erase them at all, it just showed the ending in a bright and clear way.

Hu Qing was still standing there, one hand still outstretched, her body stiff, as if she were dead. But she wasn't dead; her eyes darted around cleverly, and she even smiled at Chen Feng.

A terrifying feeling grew wildly in Chen Feng's heart: How could he not die after all this?
How should Hu Qing explain this? Chen Feng was truly unlucky to have met her.

Such an attack would have been unbearable for her in the past. She could only withstand it head-on, frantically absorbing it with her primordial energy. After all, she could withstand heavenly lightning, and these lightning orbs, even if extremely yin and evil, wouldn't kill her. But if she added other methods... well, she had many methods, and merit points were never used for fighting. In short, if Chen Feng tried to kill her, at most they would both be severely injured; she wouldn't let him succeed.

But she wasn't the same person she used to be. She herself didn't know that the fully restored Star Palace possessed the power of devouring. It was only when the Star Palace used her hand to absorb the lightning orb that she had a glimmer of understanding: the Star Palace's existence and stability in the void required a large amount of energy. This energy came from the Star Palace Master's supply and the Star Palace's own efforts. The void of the universe itself contained a large amount of free energy, therefore, the Star Palace possessed the ability to devour.

The incomplete Star Palace Technique only unleashed powerful offensive moves, while the complete Star Palace Technique gained the ability to devour energy. Unlike the Hunyuan Technique, which devours all energy, it only devours what is worthy of it. Unfortunately, Chen Feng was unlucky enough to have to activate his bloodline's divine power to deal with Hu Qing. If he had used any other method, he wouldn't have lost so decisively.

So, Chen Feng's luck was a bit off when he met her. Back in the day, before he even met Hu Qing, he was ranked number one on the leaderboard.

Chen Feng, unaware of the inside story, assumed that Hu Qing had a way to restrain him, and his face turned ashen, feeling an indescribable sense of defeat.

Hu Qing knew this sense of frustration was called: "Why did Heaven create both Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang?"

The extremely yin and evil energy absorbed by the Star Palace from the lightning ball was temporarily sealed within Hu Qing's body. Hunyuan frantically absorbed and refined it, and the small yin and yang in his sea of ​​consciousness spun around, flying from here to there and from there to here, clearly enjoying it immensely.

In truth, every attack has differences in quality and quantity. Chen Feng's bloodline is ultimately thin. Both of them possessed roughly the same number of Imperial Seals, but Hu Qing had a powerful background. She herself was a contradiction: she had a vast amount of merit, she had the support of the Netherworld, she originally possessed a metal-fire spiritual root, and later she grew other spiritual roots. She cultivated magic, body, demons, and ghosts, not because Chen Feng thought that having merit made her afraid of evil things. She cultivated Hunyuan, and within Hunyuan, anything yin, evil, yang, or righteous is energy.

If Chen Feng's lightning ball were more powerful, or if it were wielded by a true god, it could crush her like an ant. It can only be said that Chen Feng's potential did not surpass Hu Qing's.

Ultimately, it was just that Chen Feng was unlucky.

Chen Feng wasn't lucky enough, but that old woman was even less lucky.

Dust Wind was disheveled and dejected after his defeat, while Granny Shangu was truly suffering from both physical and mental trauma, described as extremely wretched, so wretched that Hu Qing couldn't help but accuse Ice Demon.

How could you treat a girl like that!

Seeing the tragic figure of the old woman, Hu Qing couldn't help but explode. The old woman's plight was truly unbearable; no woman could bear to see her like that. Some things, only a woman could truly understand how unbearable they were.

Startled awake by Hu Qing's scream, Chen Feng turned his head sharply to look, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets in horror.

The old woman's joints were twisted, and long ice needles pierced various parts of her body, leaving her bleeding and nailed to the air. She was alive; at least her beautiful face was unharmed. What Hu Qing found unbearable was that the old woman's long, flowing, magnificent, and thick silver hair had become a messy, sparse, and extremely short tuft, with several bald patches—a tattered mess more unsightly than a dog-chewed rag!
Outrageous!

"How could you do this to a girl's hair!" she roared, heartbroken.

Are you Tony?
Neither Ice Demon nor Dust Wind could understand her point.

The old woman could understand, but she couldn't understand why Hu Qing spoke up for her—"What's it to you if it's my hair?"

The Ice Demon patiently explained, "Divine power is sealed within her hair."

Hu Qing: "..."

Was I referring to divine power? No, I was talking about hair!

However, she wasn't too unreasonable; after a few seconds of heartache, she returned to normal: "What happened?"

Chen Feng's eyes were also asking what was going on with Aunt Shan. Aunt Shan's delicate eyelashes trembled: "My skills are inferior."

Chen Feng looked even more dejected.

"Your divine talents are prediction and time-stopping."

Hu Qing's eyes widened. What talent!
"And assassination and seeing through people's hearts."

Ah, what a wonderful talent!
"None of them are of any use to me."

Hu Qing: I don't even know who to envy?

"Your prediction is not absolute."

"Your time pause was too short."

"Your assassination wasn't fast enough."

"The art of mind reading is utterly useless." The Ice Demon has no heart.

All strengths were denied.

Looking at Shan Gu Po's frozen posture, Hu Qing roughly understood what had happened. She had been trying to assassinate the Ice Demon, attempting to use time-stopping techniques to trap him with each attack. However, the Ice Demon was stronger than her; each time she tried to assassinate him, he would pierce her in a place with a long ice needle. Each time she was pierced, Shan Gu Po's joints would deform, and she would try again from a different angle, repeatedly torturing herself into this state. And during these repeated attempts to get close to the Ice Demon, he used the moisture in the air to condense ice blades, which...ruined her long hair.

What is this? This is absolute suppression of power!

The old woman, Shan Gu, admitted defeat but was still not convinced: "Heaven should not allow such a powerful existence as you. You should be killed by Heaven. Even if Heaven suppressed you, you should not be able to exert such strength."

She was puzzled: "Chen Feng and I have already forcibly increased the tolerance of the Heavenly Dao by activating our divine blood. There is no way we can go any higher. How did you manage to do it?"
