Humans are devouring and selling off the heavens.

Chapter 17 Phantom Demon Katarina? I thought it was a speed bump.

On the other side, undercurrents surged within the thick fog of Kirishima.

Luo Feng held his breath and hid in the shadows.

“Caterland, ahead are nine willow-like spirit trees.” Li Yao’s voice came from the thick fog in the distance, speaking fluent English.

"The spirits of plants and trees are generally not very strong in attack. Li Yao, how come you can't deal with them?" A cold voice rang out.

"Deal with it? That willow king has a diameter of three meters, while the willow tree that nurtured the 'thousand-year-old willow heartwood' only had a diameter of one meter. This willow king is far more powerful than that one..."

……

Luo Feng's pupils contracted slightly as he listened quietly to every detail of the four men's plan to hunt down the Willow King and seize the Willow Heart.

Just as the four were about to make their move, he felt a sudden jolt in his heart.

"Three out of the four people are wearing the Black God suit?!"

Luo Feng's mouth was dry. You must know that the Black God Set is an extremely precious treasure that can completely immunize against attacks from the God of War level.

His throwing knives could instantly penetrate steel plates tens of meters thick, but they couldn't even leave a mark on the Black God Set.

"Boom!"

A deafening sonic boom rang out, and a fierce battle erupted in the distance, shattering the thick fog within hundreds of meters.

Countless willow branches were chopped and fell, wood chips flew everywhere like bullets, piercing through metal and stone.

The strongest Catalana unleashed power surpassing that of a War God, restraining the Willow King, while Li Yao and his two companions besieged a thousand-year-old willow spirit.

Luo Feng stared intently at the willow tree that Li Yao and the others were attacking, his eyes gleaming, ready to strike the moment they killed the willow tree.

"The heartwood of a thousand-year-old willow tree can improve cell activity and physical fitness, and it is also the spirit of the willow tree with a diameter of 1.8 meters."

Luo Feng's eyes flashed with an unprecedented brilliance.

"That'smine!"

If he consumes the spirit of the thousand-year-old willow tree, he will immediately become a peak-level War God!
With a loud crash, the giant willow tree collapsed.

Luo Feng's throat tightened, and the throwing knife hummed and vibrated in his palm. Just as the willow tree crashed down, he prepared to launch it.

But just as he was about to make his move, Luo Feng discovered that someone had entered his mental range!
"Who goes there?!" Luo Feng's muscles tensed instantly, but he didn't dare to make any rash moves and hid in the bushes.

Step, step, step...

Thick fog rolled in, and footsteps approached from afar. The newcomers made no attempt to conceal their presence, and the three people attacking the willow tree also noticed the commotion.

"Who's there? Get out here!" Li Yao shouted.

Nakatlan also flew over, and everyone looked into the depths of the thick fog.

A soft laugh rang out, and a figure slowly walked through the thick fog, stepping on wood chips. Before anyone could be seen, a voice pierced through the fog, striking everyone's minds like thunder.

"Leave the spirits of plants and trees behind, and you can get out."

The visitor spoke with a light laugh, as if stating a given fact.

The thick fog parted like a tide, and a black-haired youth emerged, revealing his face with deep, unfathomable eyes, looking down at the crowd.

Luo Feng's pupils immediately shrank to pinpoints, because he recognized the newcomer—it was actually a martial artist from the Mingyue residential area.

"Xu Qing?! Isn't he a high-level warrior? What's he doing here?"

Upon seeing Xu Qing, Vulture Li Yao revealed a cold smile.

"Haha, who do we have here? It's Xu Qing, a newly promoted novice war god."

Cattelan and the other two also let out a cold laugh, their faces icy.

When each War God first arrives at the War God Palace, the virtual space will proactively introduce and welcome that War God.

Xu Qing joined the War God Palace only a few days ago, so Katarin and the others knew that he was just a newly promoted novice War God.

"Is it really Xu Qing? But how did he become a War God?"

Upon hearing Li Yao speak, Luo Feng couldn't believe it. He had only been in the elite training camp for half a year, and back then, Xu Qing was just a high-level warrior.

And now he has advanced to the level of God of War?!

But... so what if he's a God of War? Vulture and the others are all at the peak of the God of War level.

Luo Feng couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

……

"Get lost? You know who you're talking to? A newly crowned God of War, do you think you can look down on a peak God of War just because you have the backing of the Limitless Martial Arts Academy?!" With an icy expression, Cattelan grinned maliciously, his right hand muscles bulging as he raised the javelin in his hand.

Upon seeing this, Luo Feng immediately tensed up.

It's important to know that when Cattelan goes all out, he can unleash power surpassing even the God of War!
Even if Xu Qing becomes a War God, he will only be a novice War God. How could he possibly stop him?
"Fine, I'm too lazy to waste words on someone as insignificant as you. No one will even know if I kill you!"

Boom!

The moment Katlan finished speaking, a bolt of lightning shot out from his hand, hurtling towards Xu Qing.

"It's over!"

Luo Feng was terrified. He didn't bother to hide himself anymore. With a piercing sonic boom, the six throwing knives in his hand shot out like arrows.

Buzz—Clang!

A piercing metallic clang erupted.

However, the moment the throwing knife collided with the javelin, it was deflected by the powerful force, flying backward and piercing through dozens of large trees, causing a forest to collapse.

Cattelan's attack was more powerful than the God of War's, and the speed of the javelin exceeded the speed of sound by ten times. Luo Feng simply could not withstand it.

The distance of several hundred meters was covered in an instant, and they arrived in front of Xu Qing in a flash!
"Xu Qing is dead!"

Luo Feng's expression changed drastically, and the image of Xu Qing's body exploding almost flashed through his mind.

"Boom!"

At the critical moment, in everyone's eyes, just as the javelin was about to hit Xu Qing, Xu Qing stretched out his right hand.

In an instant, a dazzling white light burst forth, and a powerful explosion erupted from Xu Qing's center. The sound waves spread out as if they were tangible, and the terrifying shockwave was like a monstrous wave. The thick fog within a hundred meters was sucked into a vacuum, and various fragments of stone and tree branches were scattered everywhere like bullets.

"How can it be?!!"

The next moment, Luo Feng's pupils constricted instantly. He stared intently at the center of the explosion, at the spot where blood and flesh should have been flying everywhere.

An unbelievable scene was reflected in everyone's eyes—

The javelin, which contained power surpassing that of the God of War and was capable of shooting down a monster a hundred meters long, was now held between Xu Qing's fingers as if it were a leaf, unable to advance even an inch.

Xu Qing's body hair was completely unharmed.

Cattelan's expression changed drastically. He staggered back several steps, his eyes filled with terror.

Do you think I underestimate you?

Xu Qing sneered, looked down at the four people, and flicked the javelin between his fingers.

In an instant, a terrifying sonic boom resounded, and the javelin flew backward like a meteor!

"No!"

The javelin transformed into a phantom hundreds of meters long, traversing space. Before Cattelan could react, he felt a mountain crush his chest, spitting out a mouthful of blood mixed with his internal organs, and flying out like a cannonball.

Rumble.

The ground in the distance shook violently, and countless giant trees fell one after another. The fog was blown away as if by a category 20 typhoon, revealing a hole, which finally stopped a kilometer away.

At the end of this kilometer-long road, Cattelan lay on the ground like a broken doll.

Even if he were wearing the Black God Armor, which reduces his power by 90%, he would have no chance of surviving this attack.

The three people, Li Yao and his companions, who remained where they were, could no longer laugh at the horrific scene; they were covered in cold sweat.

"Oh, I forgot about this."

Xu Qing looked at Katarina in the distance, raised his hand, and a black object flew out from Katarina, landing in his hand with a whooshing sound.

It was a black glove.

Upon seeing the black gloves, Li Yao and the others trembled.

"The Porenas family is finished now," someone murmured.

Because this is the Black God Set worn by Katarina.

The Black God Set cannot be removed unless the owner dies or voluntarily relinquishes it.

The Phantom Demon Catlan, one of the top 100 strongest fighters on Earth, whom even the Limit Martial Arts School and the Thunder Martial Arts School tried every means to recruit, was killed as easily as flicking a fly.

"Xu Qing, he's a being who surpasses even the God of War?! This, how is this possible?!" Luo Feng was dumbfounded, unable to believe it.
