Star Dragon God
In this tense moment, Huo Feng dared not blink as he stared intently at the battle inside. He did not want Zhou Wu to die like this; it was not an overflow of sympathy from Huo Feng, but rather a slight resonance with Zhou Wu's plight. Perhaps this was the bond of shared suffering that compelled Huo Feng to want to help him.
At this time, the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, allowing everyone to faintly see that the area was filled with trees and vines, along with leaves radiating a strong green glow. However, Zhou Wu and Xiao Yuan were completely submerged in this ocean of plants.
At this moment, the countless vines derived from Xiao Yuan's "Lush and Flourishing" had all pierced towards Zhou Wu in front of him. Zhou Wu's upper body and head were completely wrapped in the tree-like exterior created by Origin Force, rendering him completely unrecognizable. The leaves generated by his Combat Techniques had all gathered close to Xiao Yuan.
Huo Feng sensed that Zhou Wu could no longer hold on, but it was not yet the right time to intervene. He was prepared to act at any moment, while the Thousand Illusion Divine Monkey remained vigilant against Huo Feng.
Just then, those emerald-green leaves suddenly enveloped Xiao Yuan, while the trees extended their branches, trapping Xiao Yuan tightly within. At this moment, Xiao Yuan's vines had already pierced through the large tree body formed by Zhou Wu's Origin Force, and blood could be faintly seen flashing.
Huo Feng immediately flew towards them, but at that moment, one of Thousand Illusion Divine Monkey's arms, resembling a tree branch, quickly stretched out and tightly grabbed one of Huo Feng's legs, significantly slowing his speed. Just then, a series of explosive sounds erupted; this explosion was exceptionally terrifying. Aside from Huo Feng, Thousand Illusion Divine Monkey, and three others from Treeheart City who had just entered Oblivion Tempest, everyone else was blown away by the explosion.
At this point, Thousand Illusion Divine Monkey began to worry about Xiao Yuan. After all, the explosion was too terrifying. Thus, he released Huo Feng and rushed into the explosion after him.
Huo Feng felt that the green liquid from the Origin Force explosion had completely vanished. The trees and Zhou Wu's defensive tree body were also slowly disappearing. Meanwhile, all of Xiao Yuan's extending vines had been destroyed in the explosion; only a portion wrapping around his body remained intact, though it too had suffered considerable damage.
Thousand Illusion Divine Monkey immediately rushed to Xiao Yuan's side, continuously channeling his own Origin Force into Xiao Yuan's body. The explosion had taken a significant toll on Xiao Yuan; although his injuries were not particularly severe, Huo Feng remained an unpredictable factor that worried him greatly.
At this moment, Zhou Wu's Combat Techniques completely dissipated, causing him to fall face-first from high above. Huo Feng noticed that after the disappearance of those defenses, Zhou Wu's aura had weakened to an extreme level. He quickly flew up to catch Zhou Wu.
Because Huo Feng's Crimson Demon Eyes could only see blood vessels, seeing Zhou Wu looking as if he were on the brink of death made him hesitant to act recklessly. However, in this urgent situation, Huo Feng gathered his Origin Force in his palm and pushed forward with one hand. Instantly, a gust of wind blew away the smoke and dust surrounding them.
At this moment, Huo Feng withdrew the Bloodthirsty Demon Child and looked at Zhou Wu in his arms with shock. He discovered that aside from the heart area, many parts of Zhou Wu's body had been pierced by Xiao Yuan's vines; he looked like a horrifying bloodied corpse.
At this time, everyone from the Wanmu Family rushed over, exclaiming in shock: "Zhou Wu!"
Zhou Xing dashed forward in a single leap and knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face as he cried out silently; he extended his trembling hands toward Zhou Wu but did not know how to lift him given his gruesome state. Finally managing to choke out a few words through sobs: "Wu Er! You can't just leave your father like this! If you... if you go like this, what am I supposed to do?"
Zhou Xing trembled as he cautiously reached out his hands to gently touch Zhou Wu's face. At this moment, however, Huo Feng did not allow himself to be consumed by grief like them. While examining Zhou Wu’s body, he found that although Zhou Wu appeared severely injured and indeed was heavily wounded, none of his injuries were fatal. It seemed that Zhou Wu had managed to avoid life-threatening harm when facing Xiao Yuan’s "Lush and Flourishing."
Huo Feng quickly said to Zhou Xing, "Chief Zhou, don't cry just yet. Zhou Wu still has a chance."
Upon hearing that Zhou Wu was still alive, Zhou Xing was momentarily stunned, then he broke into a smile, tightly grasping Huo Feng's arms and excitedly said, "Brother Huo Feng, really? Then please save him! We will forever remember your great kindness."
In his excitement, Zhou Xing inadvertently revealed Huo Feng's name. At that moment, Xiao Yuan, who had been watching from a distance, narrowed his eyes. His three subordinates from Oblivion Tempest looked at him and asked, "City Lord?"
Xiao Yuan also stood up, frowning as he looked at Huo Feng. At this time, Huo Feng was laying Zhou Wu flat on the ground, channeling some Origin Force into Zhou Wu's body while simultaneously using it to stop the bleeding from various wounds.
When Xiao Yuan saw the Origin Force emanating from Huo Feng, he finally confirmed that this person who didn't look much like Huo Feng was indeed Huo Feng. Although he didn't know how Huo Feng had changed so much, he was certain that the person before him was Huo Feng.
Suddenly, Xiao Yuan burst into laughter and said, "Hahaha... I never expected this! I was worried those two bastards would get to you first. Truly, the heavens favor me, Xiao Yuan! From now on, I will no longer be myself. You three come with me; be careful, he's very strong."
Huo Feng ignored him and continued treating Zhou Wu. However, upon hearing Xiao Yuan's words, Zhou Xing realized he had made a mistake. But for the sake of his son, he resolutely stood up and faced Xiao Yuan angrily, saying, "I won't let you pass."
At that moment, all the members of the Wanmu Family gathered behind Zhou Xing, staring defiantly at Xiao Yuan and his three companions. Seeing this, Xiao Yuan laughed heartily and said, "You overestimate yourselves. Since you seek death, I will grant it to you."
Xiao Yuan and his three companions moved to push the bodies of the Wanmu Family members toward Huo Feng. Just then, a powerful aura suddenly emanated from behind the Wanmu Family members. This aura far surpassed Xiao Yuan's strength; the four of them had to stop and watch warily. Meanwhile, the Wanmu Family members were equally puzzled and turned around in alarm.
They saw a gigantic seven-colored butterfly suddenly flying into the air behind them. They recognized it as Huo Feng's Contract Beast, Phantom Butterfly, and immediately felt relieved. The butterfly gently flapped its wings and appeared before Xiao Yuan and his companions. Xiao Yuan knew that this Phantom Butterfly was formidable; however, after their previous battle with Huo Feng, he believed that it wasn't very strong. He said, "Let's go together; killing this beast will make dealing with that guy easier. Hmph! How foolish to go this far for someone else."
At that moment, Huo Feng's voice came through: "Phantom Butterfly, unleash your full power; don't let them interfere with me."
Before Xiao Yuan could analyze Huo Feng's words further, Phantom Butterfly flapped its wings above them. Countless Seven-Colored Powder particles cascaded down from its wings and instantly enveloped the four of them.
Xiao Yuan felt a wave of dizziness wash over him; he recognized this as a powerful illusion powder released by Phantom Butterfly. However, he soon realized that this Phantom Butterfly's illusion was much stronger than before. He quickly combined with Thousand Illusion Divine Monkey and controlled his Origin Force to shield his senses while instructing his subordinates: "Quickly cover your senses; don't let its illusions control you."
The three subordinates hurriedly followed Xiao Yuan's instructions. However, Phantom Butterfly suddenly intensified the control of its Colorful Illusion Powder. It should be noted that Phantom Butterfly was now a low-level beast of Blazing Flame Calamity; such a gap in strength was not something newly initiated members of Oblivion Tempest without special abilities or treasures could resist. The three men immediately began to foam at the mouth and convulsed in pain; in just moments they stopped convulsing and fell silent.
This attack from Phantom Butterfly caused them to faint instantly. The illusion attack now carried mental damage; when these three woke up again, they might very well become fools.
At this moment, Xiao Yuan found himself helpless as well; he was drenched in sweat and struggling to resist the effects himself—he couldn't even help his subordinates anymore. Despite feeling extremely unwilling to succumb to this situation and his face turning red from effort, he still couldn't break free and could only maintain his stance.
The changes left the members of the Wanmu Family in shock. In such a short time, they had experienced a journey from heaven to hell and then back again, leaving them numb.
At this moment, Huo Feng had almost finished treating Zhou Wu's wounds, with only one last step remaining. Zhou Wu had lost too much blood and urgently needed nourishment, but the blood of an ordinary person would not be very effective. However, Huo Feng's blood could make a significant difference. Huo Feng lightly bit his finger, and a drop of blood flowed from it. He quickly brought his finger to Zhou Wu's lips.
Meanwhile, Phantom Butterfly noticed that Xiao Yuan was resisting fiercely. Suddenly, the two antennae on Phantom Butterfly's head began to move. They lit up, and the two glowing points connected together. In an instant, a beam of light, resembling a lightning bolt, shot from the antennae towards Xiao Yuan's head.
With a cry of "ah," blood flowed from the corner of Xiao Yuan's mouth, and his Contract Beast retracted its Origin Force with a mournful cry. At that moment, Xiao Yuan stood there in a daze, unable to move.
Phantom Butterfly's attack was not an illusion; it was a pure mental attack. This struck Xiao Yuan hard, causing him to be controlled by Colorful Illusion Powder and fall into a trance.
Just then, two silver-white Starlight Blades flew swiftly towards Xiao Yuan's chest. Blood spurted out as a gaping wound appeared in his chest. Huo Feng followed closely behind the two Starlight Blades and appeared before Xiao Yuan.
At this moment, Phantom Butterfly lifted the illusion. Xiao Yuan suddenly regained his senses and was startled to see Huo Feng in front of him. He immediately tried to mobilize his energy to escape from Huo Feng's attack; however, he found that he could no longer channel his Origin Force. A wave of exhaustion washed over him, and he felt a chill in his chest accompanied by a tingling sensation.
Xiao Yuan looked down at his chest and saw the bloody hole, causing his body to sway unsteadily. He then raised his head to look at Huo Feng in astonishment and said, "You..."
But before he could finish, he collapsed backward with a thud, losing consciousness.
