Ling Zhenfei sneered, "Wu Yingxiong, even at this time you dare to speak the truth. Those who don't know might think you're a patriot. Do others not know your true purpose?"

"What purpose could I possibly have?" Wu Yingxiong argued.

"You just want to throw the entire Northeast, and even all of Huaxia, into chaos to achieve what you call a great cause."

After hearing this, Wu Yingxiong burst into laughter, "Exactly, a true man should be born in troubled times, to wield a three-foot sword and achieve unparalleled feats. I was just born a bit late; had I been born during the wars, I would have also been admired by thousands."

"If the country remains stable like this, how can there be troubled times? The place I've built would then be useless, so I must plunge the entire Northeast into chaos, the more chaotic, the better."

Ling Zhenfei truly felt that Wu Yingxiong was insane: "Isn't it better to live peacefully? And yet you harbor such bizarre thoughts. I initially thought it was a rumor, but it turns out to be true."

Wu Yingxiong proudly said, "Yes, that's exactly what I think."

Ling Zhenfei's eyes were fierce, his killing aura apparent, "Since that's the case, someone like you must die."

At this point, Ling Zhenfei's spiritual energy increased even further, and the light from the Dragon Tooth Dagger grew even longer.

Phoenix also intensified his effort, and the two attacked Wu Yingxiong together.

Originally, the two were no match for Wu Yingxiong, but now, with Wu Yingxiong injured, his power greatly diminished. Ling Zhenfei noticed that blood was even trickling from the corner of Wu Yingxiong's mouth.

Wu Yingxiong's expression became increasingly pale, obviously, his internal injuries were getting more severe.

"Thinking of killing me, Wu Yingxiong? That's simply delusional."

For some unknown reason, Wu Yingxiong's spiritual energy surged suddenly, even surpassing the Zhiyi Boundary, becoming unattainable.

Ling Zhenfei was shocked and didn't know what was happening with Wu Yingxiong, but he had an ominous feeling.

This was completely irrational; how could someone's power spike so suddenly? There had to be a reason.

Suddenly, Ling Zhenfei thought of something and his face showed terror, because he remembered self-destruct attacks, where powerful Spiritual Cultivators blew themselves up to take others with them.

This was Wu Yingxiong's current state: like a balloon being inflated, becoming stronger and stronger until his body couldn't bear it and would cause an explosion of spiritual energy.

The consequences of being hit by such an explosion were naturally dreadful.

Seeing this, Ling Zhenfei urgently shouted to Phoenix: "Hurry, retreat, he's going to self-destruct!"

Phoenix was momentarily stunned but quickly understood, and the two turned to run; however, escaping was not so easy at this moment.

With Wu Yingxiong's power having reached the Dawen Realm, with a slight wave of his hand, the two felt their movements slow down, as though they were trapped in a bog.

"Now that you're afraid, isn't it a bit too late? The two of you did well to push me, Wu Yingxiong, this far."

Wu Yingxiong's power continued to increase, which scared Ling Zhenfei tremendously. He urgently used his Divine Sense to notify Phoenix,

"Condense all your spiritual energy in front of you into armor to protect yourself; Wu Yingxiong is about to explode."

Of course, Phoenix was already prepared, quickly condensing spiritual energy in front of him to block the impending explosion for a moment.

"Go to your deaths."

The explosion from Wu Yingxiong came a bit sooner than expected, incredibly quietly, uncharacteristically silent. The massive spiritual energy within Wu Yingxiong burst out all around in an instant.

Ling Zhenfei and Phoenix were both blown away by this huge blast of spiritual energy, hitting the wall before heavily crashing to the ground.

Though they had condensed spiritual energy in front to block, both were injured to varying degrees.

Ling Zhenfei only felt that all his internal organs had shifted, evidently shaken severely, and the blood in his body kept churning, as if it was about to burst through his throat and spray out.

Phoenix was also in immense discomfort, daring not to move at all on the ground, her face flushed red, obviously using her spiritual energy to forcibly suppress the blood raging within her body.

At this time, Wu Yingxiong was also in bad shape, blood spouting from his mouth in great gushes, the internal organs inside his body, injured by the Dragon Tooth Dagger, were evidently unable to withstand such a huge impact anymore.

But Wu Yingxiong didn't die. Sitting on the ground, he struggled to stand up, leaning against the wall, he walked to a desk in a corner, and surprisingly pulled a gun from underneath it.

Blood streamed from his mouth, but he still tried to speak, his gun lifted aiming at Phoenix.

Phoenix was shocked, unable to move at all at this time, the bullets that posed no threat to a Spiritual Cultivator could now kill her directly.

Wu Yingxiong's lips moved, and although no sound came out, one could tell he was saying, "Die!"

Wu Yingxiong directly pulled the trigger. Phoenix was about to die, but just at that moment, suddenly a white light surged towards Wu Yingxiong.

This beam of white light was Ling Zhenfei's Silver Needle, wrapped in spiritual energy, moving very fast.

The Silver Needle directly hit Wu Yingxiong's head, sinking deep into it.

Bang!

Wu Yingxiong's gun also fired, but it missed Phoenix, and then he fell down, dead completely.

Phoenix looked at Ling Zhenfei, who spat out a mouthful of blood, obviously his injuries had worsened.

Just now, Ling Zhenfei, in order to save Phoenix, had forcefully used spiritual energy which triggered the injuries inside his body, and he couldn't hold back the fresh blood and spat it out.

Ling Zhenfei and Phoenix looked at each other, neither moving, but both had a joy of escaping death in their eyes, and perhaps even something more.

After sitting on the ground for a while, Phoenix finally suppressed the rampaging blood inside her body and returned to normal.

"I really owe you one," Phoenix managed to say, through the grudge between them.

Ling Zhenfei slightly nodded, "We're in this together, it's what I should do."

"Wu Yingxiong is dead now, let's go, the mission is over."

"But it won't be easy to leave, Wu Yingxiong's explosion must have alerted others, they're probably here already."

Sure enough, before Ling Zhenfei could finish speaking, the door was violently broken open.

A group of people rushed in, blocking the door tightly. Seeing Wu Yingxiong lying on the ground, everyone was too shocked to believe he was actually dead.

"Kid, you actually came back?"

Qu Changsheng looked at Ling Zhenfei furiously, he really hadn't expected Ling Zhenfei would dare to come back.

Ling Zhenfei, seeing the people before him, was quite scared, surrounded by over twenty cultivators, and with his injuries, the situation was extremely dangerous.

With Qu Changsheng were Yue Lei and others he had met before, and apart from them, there were many other powerful cultivators, eyeing Ling Zhenfei and Phoenix greedily.

Clearly, these were the same people who had captured Phoenix earlier, and one could vaguely see they were divided into two factions.

Qu Changsheng, Yue Lei, and their group were one faction, and the cultivators who had captured Phoenix were another faction, clearly, neither group respected the other.

Ling Zhenfei smiled at the people around him, "Why can't I come back? Not only have I come back, but I also killed Wu Yingxiong."

No sooner had Ling Zhenfei finished speaking, the people outside descended into chaos.
