CHAPTER 548: 541

Though the Wolf King’s Battle Soul defied heavens, it had its limitations—it could only seize the Battle Souls of those at the same cultivation level. The Hall Master of Elixir Palace’s cultivation level exceeded that of a War Emperor, so the Wolf King could only stalemate his Battle Soul. Even then, it was incredibly strenuous!

The time gained for Qin Feiyang wasn’t much, but it was enough.

Qin Feiyang didn’t look back, nor did he pay attention to the Wolf King. His eyes were fixated only on the Hall Master of Elixir Palace.

The Hall Master of Elixir Palace looked at the Wolf King and said in a deep voice, "You two are truly remarkable. But, unfortunately, you’re just too stubborn."

As his words fell, a thread of murderous intent appeared in his eyes.

BOOM!

The stele trembled violently, releasing a world-destroying force that targeted Qin Feiyang.

This time, he was genuinely harboring murderous intent, no longer holding back.

However, facing the stele, Qin Feiyang didn’t try to evade at all; he still charged forward as usual.

But just as he was about to collide with the stele, he vanished without a trace.

In truth, he had entered the ancient castle to evade the stele’s attack.

Because the Hall Master of Elixir Palace was too strong, if he continued to confront him head-on, Qin Feiyang would fail to approach him, let alone secure a path to victory.

Therefore, if he wanted to get close to the Hall Master, he had to avoid his attacks first; otherwise, he would be blown away again.

WHOOSH!

The moment after Qin Feiyang entered the ancient castle, the stele flew past the spot where he had disappeared.

SWIPE!

Qin Feiyang also reappeared, employing the Phantom Step to its extremes, leaving a trail of afterimages and rapidly moving in front of the Hall Master.

"Huh?"

The Hall Master raised an eyebrow, but he quickly realized Qin Feiyang’s intent, shaking his head. "Even if I let you get close to me, what can you do?"

As a Three Star War Ancestor, he was confident that even if Qin Feiyang unleashed his full-strength perfect battle technique, it wouldn’t pose a threat to him.

He waved his arm, attacking Qin Feiyang.

His palm was filled with surging Battle Intent.

The terrifying force transformed into crashing palm winds that ripped Qin Feiyang’s skin apart, leaving him covered in blood in an instant.

But Qin Feiyang endured the excruciating pain without even furrowing his brow.

This was the only chance for victory, and he couldn’t back down!

"What can I do?"

"You’ll find out soon!"

He mumbled to himself.

His right hand abruptly rose.

Blue Snow cut through the sky, slashing towards the Hall Master’s swinging arm.

Without any suspense! And absolutely no resistance!

Blue Snow instantly severed the Hall Master’s wrist.

"Ah..."

The Hall Master let out a painful scream, then, looking at the wrist where blood was gushing out, incredulity filled his eyes.

"In terms of strength, indeed I am not your match."

"But you shouldn’t have underestimated me."

"And you shouldn’t have overlooked this dagger!"

A cold glint flashed in Qin Feiyang’s eyes. Without hesitation, he approached, swung Blue Snow, and plunged it into the Hall Master’s top of the head.

The Ink Mountain Eagle disintegrated on the spot.

The Wolf King also heaved a sigh of relief, its body shrank to the size of a palm, transforming into a streak of light, and flew toward Qin Feiyang.

But after flying only a few hundred meters, it suddenly closed its eyes and plunged to the ground.

"Huh?" Seeing this, Qin Feiyang quickly retracted Blue Snow, turned around, and rushed to catch the falling Wolf King.

"Damn it!"

After examining the Wolf King’s injuries, his face darkened. He hastily went into the ancient castle and placed the Flame of Life on the Wolf King.

An abundance of life energy immediately flowed into the Wolf King’s body.

Seeing that the Wolf King’s injuries were gradually healing, Qin Feiyang finally let out a sigh of relief.

Next, he lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then left the castle again and looked down. Through the moonlight, he could clearly see that the Hall Master of Elixir Palace was falling downward.

At this moment, the Hall Master barely had any signs of life left. His wide-open eyes were void of any vitality.

WHOOSH!

Qin Feiyang made a dive, landing next to the Hall Master and reaching out to hold him.

He looked at the Hall Master with complexity in his eyes and said in a low voice, "I’m sorry, I truly didn’t want to kill you."

"Can you tell me your name now?"

However, suddenly, the weak voice of the Hall Master entered Qin Feiyang’s ears.

Still alive?

A glimmer of joy flashed in Qin Feiyang’s heart. He immediately brought the Hall Master into the castle.

The Hall Master had shown mercy time and again, and Qin Feiyang felt extremely grateful.

Therefore, he wanted to save the Hall Master.
