Shen Feng had found his means of victory. Previously, he lacked a way to break through armor, especially when dealing with ability users who often possessed incredibly strong defenses. However, Shen Feng had now learned to fight using the items around him. When he embraced the bronze pillar, he could directly kill any ability user with a sonic-speed charge.
No matter how strong the defense, it could not withstand the impact of the bronze pillar. Even a tank would be destroyed by Shen Feng's attack.
Shen Feng began his charge again, embracing the bronze pillar and aiming for an ability user who controlled rocks. Around this individual, countless rocks gathered, forming a hemispherical defensive structure. A spherical defense was the strongest, as it could disperse all surrounding forces.
Shen Feng paid no mind to it. Whether it was spherical or square, now was the time for revenge.
Thus, Shen Feng unleashed his sonic charge once more. The massive bronze pillar surged forward. The two individuals at the center of the battlefield wanted to stop Shen Feng's charge, but they were utterly incapable of doing so. Sound traveled incredibly fast, and in the blink of an eye, Shen Feng was already upon them.
"Boom..." Shen Feng controlled the bronze pillar, turning it towards another ability user. Although the thick rock defense was slightly stronger than steel, in the face of absolute power, these rocks shattered in an instant. Following that, the person hiding within the hemispherical rock formation was revealed.
The colossal bronze pillar sent the ability user flying, crashing into a distant wall. The ability user looked down and saw that his lower body had been reduced to pulp. He opened his mouth to say something, but before he could utter a word, he collapsed to the ground, dead as could be.
"Now there's only you left. I'd like to see how long you can hold out," Shen Feng said, his gaze now fixed on Pei Ruohai at the center of the battlefield.
Upon seeing Shen Feng's gaze, Pei Ruohai felt a surge of fear. He couldn't understand how the organization he had painstakingly built was destroyed by Shen Feng in a single night, and how he himself might be killed by Shen Feng.
"Is it true that seventh-tier ability users are truly invincible? We are only separated by one evolution, yet my offensive power is nowhere near his level!" Pei Ruohai's mind was in disarray, and he began to wander into wild thoughts.
Pei Ruohai was a sixth-tier ability user. He knew that to become a seventh-tier ability user, he absolutely needed an evolution crystal. Without an evolution crystal, he would remain a sixth-tier ability user his entire life. Thus, his attention turned to Shen Feng, as the easiest way to obtain an evolution crystal was from someone who possessed one.
However, Pei Ruohai never imagined that this very act would enrage Shen Feng, leading him to be tracked down from a thousand miles away. His meticulously built organization was now on the brink of annihilation overnight. Although he was still alive, he didn't know if he could survive Shen Feng's subsequent attacks.
"Boom..." Shen Feng charged at Pei Ruohai, the instigator, once more. The massive bronze pillar collided with a force field, which was shattered by Shen Feng on the spot.
But just as the bronze pillar was about to touch Pei Ruohai, another force field suddenly appeared in front of him, forcing the bronze pillar to halt.
Shen Feng was surprised by the opponent's incredible defensive power. While the other two ability users were shattered by a single charge of the bronze pillar, it had no effect on Pei Ruohai!
"If one time isn't enough, then there will be a second and a third. I refuse to believe this turtle shell can't be smashed," Shen Feng gritted his teeth, hardened his resolve, retreated several steps, and charged again.
Shen Feng exerted all his strength in the impact, while Pei Ruohai did not forget to counterattack. Taking advantage of the moment Shen Feng's attack was halted by the force field, he suddenly launched an attack. A powerful force field acted upon the bronze pillar. Shen Feng had never felt such immense power and was sent flying.
This was precisely Pei Ruohai's plan. When Shen Feng's attack stopped, that was when his power was weakest. By exerting force at this moment, he could repel Shen Feng.
However, Shen Feng, who had been sent flying, quickly got back up, once again embracing the bronze pillar. Although he had been repelled this time, he did not give up. Instead, he began his charge anew.
The mountain echoed with continuous "booms..." With each sound, either Shen Feng's attack reached Pei Ruohai but was blocked by the force field, or Shen Feng was sent flying, crashing into distant houses.
This was purely a clash of power. Whoever could endure until the end would achieve ultimate victory.
When Li Keyi noticed the commotion above, she couldn't help but leave the basement to observe. Seeing Shen Feng's frenzied attacks, she knew he was alright and was instead using this opportunity to vent his anger. It was a rare chance, and she decided not to disturb him.
Shen Feng continued his relentless charges, his stamina seemingly inexhaustible fueled by his rage. Each charge involved powerful movements, while Pei Ruohai, despite blocking Shen Feng's attacks each time, grew increasingly pale. The reason was simple: he was running out of stamina.
Maintaining a force field was extremely draining, a fact Yue Hengyi would have understood best. Even after becoming a sixth-tier ability user, maintaining a force field for an extended period was very taxing.
Under Shen Feng's continuous onslaught, Pei Ruohai finally couldn't hold on, his stamina nearing exhaustion. Finally, with Shen Feng's relentless attacks, Pei Ruohai was unable to resist. In Shen Feng's final charge, Pei Ruohai was sent flying by the bronze pillar, his lower body mangled.
"Shen Feng, you are indeed strong, but you will surely face retribution in the future!" Pei Ruohai rasped weakly.
A cold smile flickered across Shen Feng's lips. Then, with a slight movement of his fingertip, a wind blade shot out, severing Pei Ruohai's throat.
"Your ability is actually quite useful. I will take it back to reward others. As for your corpse, I will hang it on the city wall!" Shen Feng said coldly.
Shen Feng truly felt the opponent's formidable defense. If this individual had been given ample stamina, Shen Feng might not have been able to defeat him. His victory ultimately came from his superior stamina, which wore the opponent down to death.
Therefore, such a valuable ability must not be wasted; it had to be brought back to Yuzhou.
Later, Li Keyi emerged from the basement with Shen Yu. Looking at the collapsed houses and the surrounding blood-soaked scene, Shen Yu couldn't help but gasp. She wondered if the Shen Feng standing in the courtyard was truly the brother she had bullied since childhood. Did he really possess such immense power?
"Now that revenge has been served, we can finally go back," Li Keyi said with a sigh of relief after witnessing the scene.
But Shen Feng calmly stated, "Is it over? I doubt it. There are still many families of ability users on this mountain, many who haven't been killed yet."
"Ah Feng, you must calm down now. The rules of the martial world dictate: do not harm the families. If you retaliate against their families now, everyone will scorn you!" Li Keyi quickly intervened upon hearing Shen Feng's intentions.
"The so-called 'do not harm families' is because everyone needs to prevent their own families from being implicated. However, these people broke the rules first. They captured my family and killed my parents. My retaliation now is not a violation of the rules, because they were the ones who broke them!" Shen Feng said coldly.
Shen Yu was also very emotional. Hearing her brother speak this way, she suggested to Shen Feng, "You're right. There are still many who deserve to die, like those who provided information. We must kill them all!"
Shen Feng nodded and said, "I will issue bounties next. I will let my subordinates report them. As long as the reports are successful and these informants are found, I will send them to hell one by one."
Li Keyi looked at the frenzied siblings and shook her head. She could foresee that Shen Feng would soon cause a river of blood. However, she couldn't stop him, as avenging one's parents was a matter of natural justice.
Li Keyi herself had once sought revenge for her parents, though it had been ten years, and she had mostly forgotten. But she knew that Shen Feng had helped her get revenge back then, and she absolutely could not stop him now.
"Yiyi, I need your help with something. Please escort my sister and the others back to Yuzhou. I need to truly begin my revenge," Shen Feng suddenly looked at Li Keyi.
Li Keyi replied, "I can help too. If escorting your sister is necessary, then Lin Yue can also do it."
"No, I will handle the blood-stained deeds alone. You don't need to get your hands dirty. Moreover, I worry that your sister might be attacked on her way back to Yuzhou. Your strength is immense, and I believe you can protect them," Shen Feng said earnestly.
"Alright then, I will leave. Shen Feng... try to control yourself, don't go too far," Li Keyi said cautiously to Shen Feng.
Shen Feng nodded and then walked towards the distant residential area. The people living on the mountain were almost all connected to ability users. Even if they weren't family members, they were certainly close friends. Shen Feng had promised to leave no one alive, and now he would keep his word.
When the tornado had swept across the entire mountainside, many houses were destroyed by the powerful winds. Countless people trembled in fear, dodging the tornado's onslaught. They never expected to be attacked at this time. Furthermore, they had heard the rumbling sounds from afar, like cannons being fired.
Some people, sensing danger, took the opportunity to flee down the mountain. However, as they fled, they were suddenly killed by wind blades shot from afar.
Under Shen Feng's speed, almost no one could escape. The people on the mountain also discovered Shen Feng's presence and immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowing and begging the Wind God to spare their lives.
