The Feather Emperor led his brothers, roaring in with the overwhelming momentum of a mountain tide.
But as soon as they flew to the edge of the forest, they were blocked by an invisible force. They couldn't move forward another inch.
"What's going on?"
The Feather Emperor yelled, completely bewildered.
The sudden stop in their flight immediately reduced their sharp momentum.
Especially Ya Gege, who was carrying a massive castle on his back. Once he couldn't fly forward, he began to sway in the air.
He hurriedly shouted, "Feather Emperor, this is bad! The castle is about to fall off my back!"
The Feather Emperor commanded, "Hold on for a moment, don't break the castle."
As soon as he spoke, the Feather Emperor spotted Cheng Xiaofan and Nü Xi standing not far ahead.
Seeing Nü Xi, he couldn't help but be greatly shocked!
What the—!
Holy cow!
This beauty from the Wu Yi clan is still alive?
When did she appear in this world?
He immediately recognized the young man standing beside her as Cheng Xiaofan.
"Nü Xi, Cheng Xiaofan, how did you two end up together?"
The Feather Emperor asked loudly, full of confusion.
Nü Xi chuckled coldly and said, "Feather Emperor, the reason I could be with Mr. Cheng is all arranged by Emperor Shennong back then."
The Feather Emperor was utterly shocked and exclaimed, "What, arranged by Emperor Shennong?"
Cheng Xiaofan chimed in, "That's right. Emperor Shennong made this arrangement precisely for you to come and deliver yourself."
"I'm a very hospitable person. Since you've come, you can all die together!"
*Swish!*
With a sweep of his saber, he directly cleaved the castle on Ya Gege's back into two halves.
The moment Cheng Xiaofan first saw the colossal castle, he recognized it as the energy source of these Feather tribe people.
Severing their energy source was akin to strangling them.
As he split the castle in two, Cheng Xiaofan delivered a punch.
*Boom!*
His powerful dragon force immediately pulverized the castle into dust, which rained down onto the ground.
"Ah—"
Ya Gege let out a tragic scream, spat out a mouthful of blood, and fell.
He hit the ground, his limbs convulsing, utterly dead.
The castle fragments fell upon him, forming a massive tomb.
The Feather Emperor never dreamed that before any real battle even began, the Feather tribe's greatest energy source, the castle, would be utterly destroyed by Cheng Xiaofan's saber and fist.
He knew that the Feather tribe's energy source castle, though appearing to be made of stone, was covered with a special layer of dark arts that ordinary cultivators could not destroy.
What truly shattered the Feather Emperor was that Cheng Xiaofan had destroyed it effortlessly.
"Cheng Xiaofan, if you have the guts, let's fight bare-handed for three hundred rounds!"
Clearly, the Feather Emperor had already realized that the demonic bone saber in Cheng Xiaofan's hand was no ordinary item.
The fact that it could cleave his energy source castle from a distance showed its power far surpassed his own energy source.
Hearing this, Cheng Xiaofan chuckled and said to Nü Xi beside him, "Wife, those other pumpkin-headed monsters are all yours."
"Let me deal with this so-called Feather Emperor!"
Nü Xi naturally knew Cheng Xiaofan's strength and said with a blooming smile, "Okay, husband, I'll listen to whatever you say!"
The Feather Emperor, hearing their endearments, couldn't help but be taken aback.
He thought that Emperor Shennong had brought them together back then specifically for them to form a couple.
He had to admit, their union was an absolute powerhouse combination.
When he first arrived, the Feather Emperor had been full of bravado. Now, he dared not be careless.
Seeing Cheng Xiaofan flying towards him, he put away his twin swords and violently slammed a punch towards his opponent.
A fist shadow, with immense power, flew towards Cheng Xiaofan.
Cheng Xiaofan directly threw a punch back.
A similar fist shadow shot out.
*Boom!*
The two fist shadows collided, erupting in a fierce explosion.
The surrounding trees were knocked down in swathes by the surging airwaves.
The two of them exchanged blows in the air, fighting all the way down to the ground.
*Rumble!*
*Rumble!*
One after another.
Each sound was comparable to heavenly thunder.
In an instant, the nearby hills were reduced to flat land, with dust clouds soaring to the sky.
Having lost its energy source, the Feather Emperor's momentum was gradually weakening.
When Cheng Xiaofan landed a punch, he couldn't dodge in time. The fist shadow struck him directly in the chest, and he coughed up a large mouthful of blood.
The Feather Emperor staggered back more than a dozen steps.
His eyes widened in fear as he glared at Cheng Xiaofan and growled, "As expected of Emperor Shennong's disciple, your strength is indeed formidable."
"Don't think you can truly defeat me. This Emperor hasn't even unleashed his full power yet!"
*Boom!*
The Feather Emperor's body trembled.
A earth-shattering thunderous roar erupted from within him.
Cheng Xiaofan paused slightly.
What the—!
Was that sound coming from his body?
If it were anyone else, their body would have exploded into fragments!
At this thought, he saw countless arcs of lightning flashing around the Feather Emperor's body. In an instant, his opponent's body ballooned to over thirty feet tall.
He transformed into a typical giant monster.
"Cheng Xiaofan, you're dead!"
Now, the Feather Emperor finally understood a crucial point.
The reason why he and his brothers were blocked by an invisible force when flying here was related to the golden tower Cheng Xiaofan had built at White Python Lake.
As long as he could defeat Cheng Xiaofan in one go, that force would completely disappear.
His most urgent task now was to break into the secret realm of White Python Lake and absorb its powerful energy. Then, no matter how powerful the opponent, they would be no match for him.
As soon as the Feather Emperor spoke, he raised his fist and slammed it towards Cheng Xiaofan again.
This time, Cheng Xiaofan did not evade, nor did he counter-punch.
He stood his ground, a smile on his face, watching his opponent.
The Feather Emperor thought that Cheng Xiaofan had been so scared by his height and the whistling fist shadow that he had turned into an idiot.
A smug, cruel smile appeared on his yellow, pumpkin-like face.
Unexpectedly, just as his fist was about half a foot away from Cheng Xiaofan, it was blocked by a mysterious force.
As the Feather Emperor's expression froze, Cheng Xiaofan placed his hand on his wrist.
In an instant, Cheng Xiaofan's hand transformed into a golden, radiant dragon claw.
*Snap!*
The Feather Emperor's entire arm turned to dust and fell to the ground.
"Ah—"
With a scream, the Feather Emperor, terrified, spread his wings and prepared to flee.
*Roar!*
Little did he expect Cheng Xiaofan to let out a dragon's roar, transforming into a golden dragon and pursuing him relentlessly.
A dragon claw landed on his giant pumpkin-like head.
The Feather Emperor shook his head, desperately trying to break free from the dragon claw, but he couldn't.
The bone-chilling pain quickly spread from his head to his entire body...
