Chapter 353 Come, kill me! [5k views, second update, please vote!]

These words caused an uproar in the room.

It's a fight to the death!

This is a direct challenge to the peak master, escalating it to a life-or-death battle!

All the peak masters looked at Xu Feng, then at Lei Fei, and finally at the Envoy of Youquan.

Lei Fei's faint smile slowly faded, and a glint of lightning flashed in his eyes as he looked at Xu Feng with a more scrutinizing gaze.

Peak Master Qingxuan frowned, as if he wanted to say something, but ultimately remained silent.

Envoy Youquan paused for a moment, then slowly said, "Jinmu, are you sure you want to do this?"

Xu Feng raised his head, his eyes arrogant and cold: "Since entering the mountain, I have experienced life and death several times to reach my current position."

The title of Seventh Peak Master was earned by my subordinates with their lives, not bestowed upon them by anyone.

"If you want it, you can—pay with your life!"

He turned from the light towards Lei Fei's back, where Lei Bao, a powerful Ironback Bear Clan expert, was grinning maliciously, his eyes filled with a fierce glint of eager anticipation.

"Brother Lei Bao is exceptionally strong. If he can truly kill me, the Seventh Peak will be his, and I will have no complaints."

But if I win by sheer luck—”

Xu Feng's voice turned cold.

"Peak Master Lei Jue, what should we do about this?"

Lei Fei's eyes narrowed slightly.

His original intention was to let the thunderstorm "defeat" Kaneki, blunt his edge, and take control of him, not to actually fight to the death.

After all, Jinmu is now the deputy hall master of the Demon Extermination Hall and is highly regarded by Qingxuan.

Killing him would also be a problem.

But Kaneki made his point clear and made a life-or-death bet, putting Kaneki in a very difficult position.

If he does not respond, it will appear that Lei Juefeng is afraid of battle, and that Lei Bao's name and words are not legitimate.

If the prediction is correct, and Lei Bao fails—not only will a key figure be lost, but Lei Juefeng will also lose face.

However, he believed in the power of thunderstorms!

"Peak Master Jinmu, what a spirit you have," Lei Fei said slowly. "Since you insist on this, then—so be it."

He turned to look at Youquan: "Senior brother, this battle will determine life and death. The winner will take control of the Seventh Peak, and the loser will die and perish. What do you say?"

""

Youquan gave Xu Feng a deep look, then looked at Lei Fei, and finally nodded: "Okay."

"Time?" Lei Fei asked.

"Now!" Xu Feng said without hesitation.

"Good!" Lei Fei's eyes flashed with a sharp light.

The news spread like wildfire, instantly engulfing the entire Xiaoqingqiong Mountain.

The newly appointed Seventh Peak Master, Jin Mu, and Lei Bao, the top retainer of Lei Jue Peak, will fight to the death on the Life and Death Stage. The winner will take control of the Seventh Peak!

All the peak masters, retainers, and disciples were discussing this matter.

"Is Kaneki crazy? Raibao is a veteran Limit Lord, and it is said that his tempering level has reached 85%."

Furthermore, he possesses the Ironback Bear Clan's secret technique, the "Mountain-Shaking Thunder Body," which combines offense and defense, making him no less powerful than the previous Peak Master of the Withered Tree!

"I heard Kaneki has just recovered from serious injuries. Challenging Lei Bao at this time is practically suicide!"

"Not necessarily. Jinmu was able to break through the encirclement and force back the human Xu Feng, so his strength should not be underestimated. The outcome of this battle is uncertain."

"Who cares who wins or loses, this is going to be a good show!"

At the same time, Lei Juefeng.

Inside the sealed chamber, Lei Bao, shirtless, sat cross-legged in a pool of lightning.

The pool contained not water, but purple lightning condensed to almost liquid form, which continuously struck him, but was completely absorbed by the lightning patterns flowing across his skin.

His muscles bulged like steel ingots, and his skin was dark purple with a faint metallic sheen.

"Thunderstorm, this battle cannot be lost." Lei Fei's voice came from outside the pool.

Lei Bao opened his eyes and grinned: "Peak Master, rest assured, I will take the head of Jin Mu, who is just recovering from serious injuries, within three moves."

"We must not be careless," Lei Fei said in a deep voice. "Jin Mu must have extraordinary abilities to be valued by Hong Zhi and Qing Xuan. He dares to take on a life-or-death battle, so he must have something to rely on."

He flicked his finger, and a purplish-black lightning bead flew into the pool, hovering in front of the thunderstorm.

"This is the Yin Thunder Pearl," containing a trace of annihilating Yin Thunder, specifically designed to break through protective qi and physical defenses.

Using it at a crucial moment can cripple its very foundation.

Lei Bao's eyes lit up, and he put away the lightning pearl: "Thank you, Peak Master!"

"Furthermore," Lei Fei said with a deep look in his eyes, "although this battle is a matter of life and death, if there is a chance—spare his life."

Lei Bao was taken aback: "What does Peak Master mean—"

"Jinmu is a talented person. If we can subdue him, it will be of great benefit to Lei Juefeng."

"After you defeat him, you can cripple his cultivation but spare his life. I will take him to see the Envoy of Youquan, and I will make arrangements accordingly," Lei Fei said calmly.

What he truly valued was the secrets of the Ling Shu relics that Jinmu might possess, as well as his experience fighting against "Xu Feng".

Killing them would certainly solve everything, but if you can keep them under control, they are of greater value.

"Understood," Lei Bao grinned maliciously, "I will break every bone in his body and spare his dog's life."

Time flies.

Noon.

The Life and Death Platform of Xiaoqingqiong Mountain is located on a huge platform halfway up the main peak.

The platform, constructed of obsidian, spans a hundred feet in circumference and is covered with reinforcing runes along its edges, making it capable of withstanding full-force battles from those below the Star God Realm.

At this moment, the area around the platform was already packed with people.

The top ten peak masters were almost all present, with Han Xuan, Yuan Ling, and Fu Hua each leading their disciples and followers, standing in different positions.

On a high platform not far away, the two envoys, Ling Feng and You Quan, sat in the main seats, with Qing Xuan and Lei Fei sitting on either side.

Further out, there were retainers, stewards, and disciples from various peaks who had come upon hearing the news; a dense, dark mass, probably numbering in the thousands.

Everyone is waiting for today's main character.

"They're here!"

Someone whispered.

From the eastern horizon, a dark purple bolt of lightning pierced the sky and crashed down on the east side of the Arena of Life and Death.

The lightning dissipated, revealing Lei Bao's imposing, three-zhang-tall body.

He was wearing only a pair of dark black shorts, his bare upper body revealing bulging muscles.

The purplish-black lightning patterns slowly moved beneath the skin, exuding a violent and heavy aura.

He grinned, revealing his gleaming white fangs, and his gaze swept across the audience before finally settling on the west side.

"Kaneki, why aren't you coming out here to die?!"

The sound was like muffled thunder, causing many people's eardrums to ache.

"What's the rush?"

A pale golden streak of light rushed from the direction of the seventh peak and gently landed on the west side of the Life and Death Arena.

Xu Feng was dressed in a dark gold outfit, with a tall and straight figure and a cold and stern face.

He didn't deliberately exude an aura, but standing there, he possessed a calm and steadfast demeanor.

Compared to the raging thunderstorm, he was more like a sharp blade hidden in its sheath.

"Jinmu, admit defeat now and cripple your cultivation, and I may spare your life," Lei Bao sneered.

Xu Feng raised his eyes, his gaze calm: "Enough with the nonsense, let's begin."

On the high platform, Envoy Youquan and Envoy Lingfeng sat side by side. Seeing that both sides had arrived, Youquan slowly spoke: "The rules of the Life and Death Arena are that one battle determines life and death. Outsiders are not allowed to interfere. Begin."

As soon as he finished speaking, the runes around the arena of life and death suddenly lit up, forming a pale golden hemispherical light shield that enveloped the entire platform.

Battle begins!

"roar--!"

Thunderstorms struck first, roaring angrily to the sky!

boom!

His body was suddenly engulfed in a burst of purplish-black lightning patterns, and countless electric snakes shot out from his pores, weaving together to form a layer of lightning armor!

At the same time, his body swelled up again, and the skin on his back hardened, gleaming with a metallic black sheen.

"Mountain-Shaking Thunder Body" - Fully Unlocked!

"die!"

Lei Bao took a step forward, the ground shook violently, and he crashed into Xu Feng like a cannonball, throwing a punch!

Before the fist even arrived, the violent lightning had already torn through the air, emitting a piercing shriek!

This punch, though simple and unadorned, contained the immense power to shatter mountains and the destructive power of thunder!

Many people in the audience turned pale. This punch was something even an ordinary Limit Lord couldn't withstand!

Xu Feng's eyes narrowed, and instead of retreating, he advanced!

A burst of pale golden blood energy erupted, and the phantom of the Heavenly Roc flashed and disappeared behind him!

His right fist clenched tightly, golden light flowed beneath his skin, and his entire arm instantly transformed into a pale golden jade!

Tianpeng Dragon-Slaying Technique: Dragon-Slaying Strike!

clang-!!!!

The two fists collided, producing a deafening sound like metal clashing!

The shockwave exploded, shattering the stone countertop into countless pieces!

Xu Feng retreated ten feet, his right fist trembling slightly, his skin cracking and oozing golden blood.

Lei Bao also took three steps back, the lightning on his fist dimmed, and his blood and qi were churning from the shock!

"What a tough body!" Lei Bao's eyes flashed with surprise.

His punch was enough to shatter a small mountain, yet it only caused Kaneki some superficial injuries.

Xu Feng shook his arm, and the wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He smiled dismissively: "Not bad strength, but unfortunately—not enough. Want to try again?"

A thunderous boom the instant the words were spoken!

The thunderstorm vanished instantly!

He stomped his feet hard on the ground, causing the entire arena to tremble violently. His figure was like a purple lightning bolt, instantly covering a distance of thirty feet, and he punched Xu Feng in the face!

Before the fist even arrived, the violent lightning had already torn through the air, emitting a piercing explosion!

This punch was devoid of any fancy moves; it was pure, overwhelming power and speed!

However, facing a punch powerful enough to shatter mountains, Xu Feng merely turned slightly to the side.

Swish!

The fist's energy grazed his cheek, the violent lightning energy scorching his hair, but it failed to harm him in the slightest.

"What?!"

Thunderstorm's pupils contracted.

The speed of his punch was so great that even a top-tier lord of the same level would find it difficult to completely avoid it, yet Jinmu handled it so casually.

"Too slow."

Xu Feng's voice rang in his ears.

The next moment, Xu Feng reached out with his right hand, his five fingers like hooks, and grabbed Lei Bao's wrist!

Thunderstorm reacted extremely quickly, flicking its wrist and unleashing a burst of lightning in an attempt to shake off Xu Feng's hand.

But Xu Feng's five fingers were like those forged from refined gold, ignoring the thunder and gripping his wrist tightly!

Then, his body moved like a dragon, and his arm suddenly trembled!

Bagua Opens the Mountain!

"Cut it off!"

Xu Feng gave a low shout, his arm muscles instantly bulged, and his pale golden blood and qi erupted!

Click!

A clear cracking sound rang out!

Lei Bao screamed in agony as Xu Feng twisted his entire right arm into a pretzel shape, shattering the bones!

"Ah—!!"

Lei Bao was both shocked and furious, and slammed his left fist hard into Xu Feng's temple!

Xu Feng released his grip, his figure swaying as he retreated three zhang away.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye. Before the onlookers could even react, Lei Bao had already lost an arm!

"The power of Jinmu—is it really that formidable?!" a peak master exclaimed in shock.

"Thunderstorm's Mountain-Shaking Thunder Body has reached its peak, and its physical strength is comparable to that of a pseudo-divine weapon."

Kaneki actually broke his arm bone with his bare hands—just how skilled was Kaneki?!

On the high platform, Lei Fei's face was ashen.

He sensed something was wrong.

Kaneki's grab and twist just now demonstrated not only strength, but also precise control over his qi and blood, and his grasp of timing.

And — a near-instinctive fighting instinct.

This is absolutely not the state a person who has just recovered from a serious injury should be in!

"This kid—he's hiding his true intentions very well." Warning bells rang in Lei Fei's mind.

On the stage of life and death.

Lei Bao staggered back several steps, looking at his limp right arm, a look of madness flashing in his eyes.

"Great! Excellent!"

He roared, and purple lightning patterns suddenly lit up his body. Countless electric snakes shot out from his pores and intertwined on his body to form a lightning armor!

Even more terrifying, his severed right arm began to heal rapidly under the stimulation of the thunder, quickly returning to its original state.

"Heavenly Thunder True Form—Activate!"

boom!

The aura of thunder and lightning surged once more, and he transformed into a thunder giant three zhang tall, his eyes spitting out lightning.

Every step he took sent shattered rocks flying from the Life and Death Platform!

"Kaneki, I'm going to kill you!!"

The Thunder Giant unleashed both fists, sending countless lightning balls raining down on Xu Feng!

Each lightning ball contained terrifying energy enough to flatten a mountain, and its wide coverage almost blocked all of Xu Feng's escape routes!

A cold glint flashed in Xu Feng's eyes, and he no longer held back, his figure also rising in height with a sway.

The Divine Elephant's Healing Power in Prison!

At the same time, Xu Feng moved like a ghost through the gaps in the lightning ball, instantly closing in on the Thunder Giant!

"Flying Star - Broken Moon!"

Xu Feng unleashed a palm strike, the blade light cascading like a galaxy, aimed directly at the Thunder Giant's neck!

"A trivial skill!"

Thunder roared, and the Thunder Giant clasped its hands together, actually clamping Xu Feng's palm between them!

However, Xu Feng let out a low roar, instantly took half a step back, and then suddenly stepped forward, his palm suddenly emerging from Lei Bao's hands and stabbing into its eye socket.

Then Xu Feng spun around like a dragon swinging its tail, suddenly twisting his waist and sweeping horizontally, knocking Lei Bao down with a bang.

As Lei Bao lost his balance, Xu Feng took another half step back and unleashed a powerful punch, using the Heavenly Roc Dragon-Slaying Technique to strike straight at Lei Bao's heart.

Half-step Crushing Fist!

boom!

The fist slammed into Lei Bao's chest, but it only made him groan in pain!

After regaining his footing, Lei Bao burst into laughter: "Hahaha! My 'Mountain-Shaking Thunder Body' has reached its peak, my entire body is as hard as iron!"

Thunderous laughter erupted as he swept his right fist across, unleashing a deafening explosion of lightning!

Xu Feng moved like the wind, retreating gracefully, and with a flick of his wrist, he slashed at Lei Bao's knees.

Without flinching or dodging, lightning gathered at the back of Xu Feng's knees, forcefully deflecting his hand!

"It's no use! You can't hurt me!"

Thunder roared, and his fists pounded out in succession, with countless thunderous fists raining down like a storm!

Boom boom boom boom—!

Xu Feng weaved through the gaps in Lei Bao's fists, his blade flashing as it struck various parts of Lei Bao's body, but all of it was blocked by his Thunder Armor and hardened skin.

"Kaneki is at a disadvantage!" someone whispered from the audience.

"The thunderstorm's defenses are too strong; even metal and wood cannot break through them. Prolonged defense will inevitably lead to defeat!"

Peak Master Qingxuan frowned, a look of worry flashing in his eyes.

A cold smile crept across Lei Fei's lips.

However, Youquan and Lingfeng on the high platform exchanged glances.

They could see more clearly that although Kaneki was at a disadvantage, his steps were steady and his eyes were calm.

Every dodge and attack was perfectly timed, as if testing the waters.

"He's looking for weaknesses in the thunderstorm's defenses," Ling Feng said softly.

Youquan nodded: "This boy has excellent combat awareness."

On the life-or-death arena, the battle has reached its climax.

The thunderstorm grew increasingly fierce, its power of lightning relentlessly bombarding the entire arena of life and death, transforming it into a domain of lightning.

Xu Feng, like a petrel in a storm, used his exquisite movements to constantly maneuver around the enemy, occasionally launching counterattacks, but always to no avail.

At a certain moment—

"Found you!"

A burst of golden light flashed in Xu Feng's eyes!

He kept attacking Lei Bao all over his body and finally discovered that whenever Lei Bao threw a punch with all his might, the lightning pattern on his left rib would dim for a moment!

That is one of the key points in the circulation of Qi and blood in the "Shaking Mountain Thunder Body"!

"Now!"

Xu Feng suddenly accelerated, transforming into a golden afterimage, dodging a heavy punch from Lei Bao, and closing in!

In an instant, he pointed his fingers like a sword, and golden light condensed at his fingertips like a needle, piercing straight into Lei Bao's left ribs where he had a weakness!

The Heavenly Roc Soaring Dragon Technique propels one straight up ninety thousand miles!

This strike embodies his complete understanding of the power of "sharpness".

It also incorporates the true fighting spirit of the Heavenly Roc Dragon-Slaying Technique, concentrating all power into one point!

Lei Bao's expression changed drastically, and lightning gathered wildly in his throat, but it was too late!

Pfft—!

The golden light pierced his chest and ribs by half an inch!

Blood spurted out!

Xu Feng sneered instantly, turning his finger into a hook. Then, like a nimble swallow, he leaped up and dodged Lei Bao's furious claws.

Then he tapped his chest with both feet and instantly retreated, but as he retreated, he hooked his two fingers hard.

"Sizzle!"

"Well!"

Lei Bao immediately let out a miserable cry, and the violent power of the lightning rebounded, sending Xu Feng flying.

He clutched his ribs and discovered that Xu Feng had torn off a section of his rib!

Lightning flashed at the wound as the bleeding was quickly stopped, but his eyes were filled with shock and anger.

He's injured!

"You're asking for it!"

Lei Bao was completely enraged, and the lightning around him turned from purplish-black to dark red, and his aura surged once again!

"Possessed by lightning!"

He roared, and dark red lightning surged from his body, condensing behind him into a three-headed, six-armed phantom of a thunder demon god!

The phantom figure swung its six arms simultaneously, unleashing six dark red lightning spears that tore through the sky, sealing off all of Xu Feng's escape routes!

This attack used a secret technique, and its power was comparable to a casual strike from a Star God Realm expert!

The audience gasped in surprise!

Qingxuan suddenly stood up, about to intervene.

But Youquan raised his hand to stop him, his gaze deep: "Watch."

Xu Feng's eyes were icy cold, and his body suddenly changed direction as if defying the laws of physics, making people feel uneasy like a ghost.

After taking five steps in quick succession, he managed to dodge the spear's thrust and easily avoid the thunderstorm's attack.

At the same time, he suddenly crouched down, dodging the thunderstorm by grabbing at it with both arms.

Then, with a swift step, she actually slipped into Lei Bao's arms.

next moment.

He raised his palm like a knife, unleashing a burst of short-range force, and thrust it straight at Lei Bao's chest, specifically the Tanzhong acupoint!

"roar!"

Thunderstorm raged, stimulating his blood and qi, and dark red lightning condensed into a lightning shield in his chest!

However, just before the lightning shield was about to condense, Xu Feng's eyes suddenly flashed with golden light.

The thunderstorm struck his brain like a hammer blow, and the lightning around his body suddenly slowed down!

clang-!!!!

The blade struck the half-formed lightning shield, unleashing an extremely piercing cracking sound!

The lightning shield shattered instantly!

The blade's momentum hadn't dissipated when it struck Lei Bao in the chest!

Pfft—!

A deep, bone-revealing wound ripped open, and dark red, lightning-like blood gushed out!

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Xu Feng flashed and appeared behind Lei Bao.

Severely injured by the thunderstorm, his reaction time was already slow.

Xu Feng pointed his left hand together, golden light gathered, and pointed one finger at Lei Bao's Dazhui acupoint on the back of his neck!

Heavenly Roc Dragon-Slaying Technique - Dragon Interception!

puff!

The golden light penetrated the body, severing the vital energy and blood circulation!

Lei Bao froze, the lightning around him suddenly went out, and his huge body collapsed to his knees as if his bones had been removed!

"You—" He turned his head with difficulty, his eyes filled with resentment and horror.

Xu Feng remained expressionless as he unleashed a horizontal palm strike!

Before striking, he deliberately turned and glanced at Lei Fei.

immediately!

"Snap!!"

The palm strike was like a divine weapon, instantly severing Lei Bao's head!

Without hesitation!
