Immortal God of War

Chapter 643 - 622: Meeting Feng Wuxie Again_1

Qin Feiyang was also very curious.

The Black Dragon had initially suggested subduing a Dragon Crocodile.

But in his opinion, it was an impossible task.

However, to his surprise, Lu Xingchen had managed to accomplish it.

And it wasn’t just any Dragon Crocodile, but an Alligator King.

If someone claimed it was luck, he absolutely wouldn’t believe it.

Lu Xingchen glanced at the group and smiled. "Actually, my method was the same as the Black Dragon’s: tame a Dragon Crocodile to lead us out."

"After emerging from the ancient castle, I searched everywhere for a Dragon Crocodile but couldn’t find one for the longest time."

"However, just as the island began to collapse, I spotted this Alligator King on the southwestern edge of the island."

"At the time, it was grievously injured. When I encountered it, it even wanted to swallow me alive."

"Although I was very weak, its injuries were also severe, almost to the point where it couldn’t even stand. After a fierce struggle, I gained the upper hand."

"These injuries I have are all from that fight."

"Finally, after my sincere entreaties, it agreed to follow me."

"But it also proposed one condition: it would guide us out, but we are forbidden from harming any other Dragon Crocodiles," Lu Xingchen concluded with a smile.

"HUH!"

Qin Feiyang and the others were stunned.

Was it that simple?

But it sounded rather unrealistic, didn’t it?

Could it really be true?

Dong Zhengyang asked perplexedly, "It didn’t fight us, so how did it get injured?"

Lu Xingchen replied, "I asked that too. Apparently, it was injured by the collapsing earth when it was attacking the island’s foundation."

Injured by the collapsing earth?

They exchanged glances.

Could something like that really happen?

The White-Eyed Wolf transmitted mentally, "Xiao Qinzi, Fatty, do you believe him?"

Fatty muttered to himself, "I don’t know if Boss will believe him, but Master Fatty definitely doesn’t. There must be more to this."

Qin Feiyang voiced no doubts.

There was no need.

So what if Lu Xingchen was lying?

As long as he wasn’t harming them now and could lead them out of this swamp, nothing else mattered.

Dong Zhengyang and the others were also seasoned individuals and naturally didn’t press further.

After a moment’s hesitation, Qin Feiyang took out five healing pills with Four Elixir Patterns and handed them to Lu Xingchen. He said, "The pursuing crocodile horde will surely chase them relentlessly. Quickly feed these to it, or it won’t last until we exit the swamp."

"Thank you."

Lu Xingchen took the elixirs and thanked Qin Feiyang with a clasped fist salute. He then walked to the Alligator King’s head and said with a smile, "These elixirs are quite rare; you’re in luck."

He then tossed the five healing pills forward.

The Alligator King saw the Elixir Patterns, and its eyes immediately lit up. It lunged forward, raised its head, opened its massive mouth, and swallowed the five healing pills.

An overwhelming amount of energy suddenly erupted within its body.

The healing speed of its wounds also immediately increased manifold.

ROAR!

It roared excitedly as its speed surged, carrying the group away on its back through the waves.

「Time flew by; two days passed.」

In these two days, aside from the relentlessly pursuing crocodile swarm, they encountered no other dangerous beasts blocking their path.

Fatty scanned the horizon ahead, then turned to Qin Feiyang with a roguish smile. "Boss, you should cultivate. We’ll keep watch."

"Hehe, if you don’t start cultivating soon, we’ll probably be Five Star War Ancestors while you’re still a Nine-Star War Emperor," the White-Eyed Wolf cackled slyly.

Qin Feiyang shot it a look, then turned to Dong Zhengyang and the others. "All of you, along with the White-Eyed Wolf, go into the ancient castle. Lu Xingchen, Fatty, and the Black Dragon will suffice to guard outside."

Everyone nodded.

There was no imminent danger anyway. It was better to use this time to cultivate in the ancient castle than to idle outside.

Besides, fewer people would lessen the Alligator King’s burden.

Qin Feiyang waved his hand, and the group, including the White-Eyed Wolf, instantly vanished.

With the White-Eyed Wolf guarding the ancient castle, he wasn’t worried about Dongfang Wuheng or Murong Xiong causing trouble inside.

Subsequently, Qin Feiyang sat cross-legged on the Alligator King’s back, popped a Battle Intent Pill into his mouth, and closed his eyes to cultivate peacefully.

「Days passed in this manner.」

"Lu Xingchen, quick, look! Is that land up ahead?"

Early one morning, Fatty suddenly exclaimed.

Lu Xingchen had also been cultivating during this time, so the guard duty had fallen entirely on Fatty and the Black Dragon.

Upon hearing Fatty’s cry, Lu Xingchen opened his eyes, his face lighting up with joy.

A few hundred meters ahead, an undulating mountain range stretched to the horizon on both sides, like a coastline bordering a vast sea!

If that wasn’t land, what else could it be?

Gazing at the mountain range, Fatty and Lu Xingchen were overcome with emotion. We’ve finally reached the end.

Looking back, their recent experiences felt like an inescapable nightmare.

Lu Xingchen, regaining his composure, turned to Qin Feiyang and asked with surprise, "Why isn’t he reacting at all?"

Fatty scrutinized Qin Feiyang for a moment. "Judging by Boss’s aura, he must be at a critical point in his breakthrough."

The intensity of Qin Feiyang’s aura fluctuated. At its peak, it neared that of a War Ancestor; at its weakest, it was almost non-existent.

"So fast!" Lu Xingchen marveled.

"Fast?" Fatty was perplexed.

"Of course, it’s fast!" Lu Xingchen retorted. "When you all first arrived in the State City, what was your cultivation level? It hasn’t been that long, yet you’ve all surpassed me. And I’m still only a Seven-star War Emperor."

How vast the gap between people could be! Lu Xingchen thought, shaking his head bitterly.

Fatty immediately grew smug, chuckling, "Well, what can I say? We’re all geniuses."

"Alright then. Being around you geniuses is too demoralizing. It seems I’ll have to keep my distance from you all in the future!" Lu Xingchen said with a helpless sigh.

The Black Dragon suddenly spoke, "Allow me to interrupt and ask a few questions."

"Hmm?"

Both of them looked at it, puzzled.

The Black Dragon looked at them. "When you first met, what was the difference in your cultivation levels?"

Lu Xingchen replied, "I was a Five Star War Emperor back then. They, at that time, had mostly just broken through to the War King realm."

"What?!" The Black Dragon’s eyes bulged. Such a huge difference in cultivation, and now they had actually surpassed him?

It looked at Fatty, skeptical. "How did you all manage that?"

Before Fatty could answer, Lu Xingchen chimed in, "They’ve all opened the Door of Potential. How could their progress not be fast?"

"The Door of Potential!" The Black Dragon was dumbfounded. It took a long moment to recover before turning to Lu Xingchen and shaking its head. "You truly are an idiot."

Lu Xingchen nearly coughed up a mouthful of blood. To think that he, whose talent was considered one of the best in the Spirit State, was now being called an idiot! It was a tremendous blow to his pride.

"No more talking." If I say any more, I might sound even worse than an idiot.

He sighed deeply, then looked up at the mountain range ahead, an inexplicable light flickering in the depths of his eyes.

Meanwhile, Fatty turned to look at the swamp behind them.

The twelve Alligator Kings and their horde had pursued them this far. Their persistence was truly remarkable, almost commendable!

But as soon as they reached shore, these vicious crocodiles would no longer pose any threat.

The twelve Alligator Kings seemed to realize this too, so they were now chasing desperately, trying to intercept Qin Feiyang’s group before they could land.

But at their current speed, it was clearly impossible.

Land was just a stone’s throw away!

Triumphant smiles had already appeared on Fatty’s and Lu Xingchen’s faces.

BOOM!

However, just at that moment, a terrifying aura erupted from somewhere in the mountain range.

Immediately afterward, a brilliant flame of Battle Intent shot out from within the mountains, carrying a monstrous killing intent as it charged toward Qin Feiyang and the others!

"Who is it?!" Fatty, Lu Xingchen, and the Black Dragon’s expressions changed drastically.

Because that aura was even stronger than a one-star War Ancestor!

And to attack at this moment, they clearly intended to kill them!

Qin Feiyang, however, remained motionless, his eyes still closed.

But the Alligator King beneath them was startled and stopped, unsure what to do.

Fatty shouted, "Don’t be afraid, keep going! Master Fatty would like to see who has the audacity to ambush us!"

If they stopped now and were caught by the pursuing crocodile horde, it would be even more troublesome.

And after spending this time together, the Alligator King was well aware of Fatty’s strength.

Hearing Fatty’s command, it immediately calmed down and continued swimming toward the shore.

BOOM!

The fiery Battle Intent surged with killing intent. Wherever it passed, giant waves dozens of feet high churned in the swamp!

HMPH!

Fatty snorted coldly, raised his hand, and pointed. The Black Dragon Battle Intent roared out, colliding fiercely with the fiery Battle Intent.

BOOM!

Instantly, the two streams of Battle Intent exploded in mid-air, generating a terrifying, destructive shockwave that surged out in all directions like a tidal wave!

Seeing the situation turn dire, the Black Dragon hurriedly activated its Battle Intent, forming a black protective barrier around the Alligator King, Qin Feiyang, and the others.

Thus, the Alligator King’s advance didn’t slow in the slightest.

EH!

Simultaneously, a surprised exclamation came from the mountains.

Seemingly surprised by the strength Fatty was now displaying?

Fatty stared at the spot where the fiery Battle Intent had emerged, a cold glint in his eyes. "Lu Xingchen, doesn’t that aura feel familiar?"

"Familiar?" Lu Xingchen paused, then after careful discernment, nodded. "It does feel familiar. We must have encountered it before. But who could it be?"

"Not bad. It hasn’t been long, yet your strength has improved so much. However, you’re not the only one who’s been progressing."

"Try this move of mine!"

"Phoenix Blaze!"

Just then, a voice filled with wicked amusement echoed from the mountains.

BOOM!

Immediately after, a wave of fire erupted from within the mountains, soaring into the sky and illuminating the surroundings. The mass of flames wasn’t large, but its outline strikingly resembled a Fire Phoenix spreading its wings as it dove towards Qin Feiyang and the others.

"This voice..." Fatty raised an eyebrow; the voice also struck him as familiar.

"It’s him!" Lu Xingchen suddenly exclaimed, his eyes flashing.

"Who?" Fatty was startled.

Lu Xingchen said, "Fengg Wuxie from the Void State!"

Back when they were imprisoned by the people from the Void State, he had been there too. So, the moment he heard the voice, he remembered.

"So, it’s him," Fatty realized, then frowned. "But Master Fatty remembers him being a one-star War Ancestor, right?"

"You, who hadn’t even reached the War Ancestor realm initially, have already broken through to become a Two-star War Ancestor. Is it strange that he, a one-star War Ancestor, broke through to become a Two-star War Ancestor?" Lu Xingchen retorted.

Fatty paused for a moment, then chuckled smugly. "Master Fatty is an unparalleled genius. Can he compare?"

Lu Xingchen rolled his eyes. "Stop messing around. This Phoenix Blaze is undoubtedly a superior battle technique. We can’t be careless."

"Superior battle technique, huh?" Fatty looked up at the wave of fire and sneered, "I might not have been his match before, but now, it’s hard to say who’ll win. This is the perfect chance to settle our old scores!"
