"I admit that the injuries on Zhen Shuai's body were indeed caused by me, but he wasn't killed by me.

"Do you think this old man is an idiot? I am indeed not killed by you, but I am your beast pet." If it were not for your order, that beast would not have acted so viciously and you have to bear the consequences for its actions. "

Shang Zifeng laughed sarcastically, looking at Patriarch Zhen as if he was a madman, and did not say a word.

The Patriarch Zhen was furious, he immediately channeled his external force chant and gathered all his energy into his palm. Then, he grabbed his immortal staff and waved it towards Shang Zifeng's chest without mercy.

However, halfway through, Patriarch Zhen suddenly remembered that he still had to torture Shang Zifeng, he could not let him die just like that, so he retracted half of his strength and changed the direction he was moving towards Shang Zifeng's left arm.

A crisp sound came out, under everyone's shocked gaze, Shang Zifeng screamed, his left arm was destroyed by the Immortal Wand just like that.

This was only the first staff, and it was already so tragic. It crippled one of Shang Zifeng's arms the moment it appeared, which caused everyone's hair to stand on end.

Yao Shuang clenched her fists, her gaze cold.

What was she going to do? Should she continue to endure?

If this were to continue, what would happen if Shang Zifeng was beaten to death?

Out of the corner of her eyes, Yao Shuang's expression was also extremely ugly, but she did not try to stop them. This made Yao Shuang even more unsure of what they were thinking.

Just as Yao Shuang was hesitating, another crisp sound and miserable howl resounded in the air. Shang Zifeng's right arm also broke right after that.

Patriarch Zhen laughed sinisterly, the strength in his hands continued to increase as he moved towards Shang Zifeng.

His attack was extremely strange, so much so that it did not immediately kill Shang Zifeng, but rather caused him to linger around the edge of life and death.

That painful look, the scream made everyone present to suck in a breath of cold air, as though they were in the middle of it. Even the perpetrator, Du Ze, could not help but break out in a cold sweat, and thought to himself: This old man, is truly cruel and merciless.

The banging sounds of the fists getting closer and closer, Shang Zifeng's Qi also became weaker and weaker.

The current him, with his broken arms, arms, and legs, still had to endure the piercing pain from the attacks of the celestial staff.

Yao Shuang could no longer stand, seeing that Shang Zifeng had fainted. The marble floor was already dyed red with blood, and continuously flowed out from Shang Zifeng's body, falling onto the ground with a pitter patter sound.

In Yao Shuang's eyes, after torturing her again and again, the aura around her body instantly turned cold, and silver profound energy started to emerge from under her feet.

From the moment Shang Zifeng was tied to the lightning pillar, his gaze had been observing Yao Shuang's actions the entire time.

Seeing Yao Shuang's expression turn bad, then looking at the silver profound energy beneath her feet, she was shocked!

This was the first time he had seen such profound energy, and the first time she heard that Yao Shuang possessed such profound energy.

Silver profound energy!

Legend has it that only the Mystic Maiden Heaven Chilling Spell could cultivate silver profound energy, and in the Nine Prefectures, only one person had cultivated this kind of heaven-defying mental cultivation method … Chu He's heart skipped a beat and he almost bit his tongue to pieces, as he couldn't quite believe his own judgement.

How was this possible?

He wiped his eyes, then looked at Yao Shuang's feet, and was shocked to realize that the silver luster had already disappeared.

Could it be that his eyes had gone blurry and he was seeing things?

Shaking his head, Chu He thought to himself.

He must have seen wrongly. That person was extraordinary, how could he have come to Yuxu Sect and stayed there for four years?

Then, thinking back to the events that had transpired in the martial arts world in the past four years, Chu He dispelled the notion that Yao Shuang was that person.

There must be something wrong with his eyes!

Ling Changfeng and the others had their gazes on Shang Zifeng, so naturally no one noticed that something was amiss with Yao Shuang at that instant.

And the reason why Yao Shuang changed her previous thoughts was because of what Yin Luan had said to her, "Little Shuangshuang, don't be rash. Yin Luan thinks that Shang Zifeng will be fine."

Yao Shuang retracted her profound energy, forcefully suppressing the anger in her heart, and asked with a voice that she thought was calm: "Oh? "What do you mean?"

"Do you still remember the extremely powerful profound energy contained within Shang Zifeng's body? Even the Little Shuangshuang cannot suppress it! "

"Understood, and my guess is that if not for that surge of profound energy, Shang Zifeng would not have stayed at the first level of the Absolute Beginning Heavenly Dipper Incantation."

"That's not it. What Yin Luan wanted to say was that burst of profound energy seemed to be protecting him the entire time. Furthermore, even without the use of the Profound Spirit Qi, Shang Zifeng still might not be able to break through, I thought that everyone was like you, who has two different methods, if it was anyone else, they would probably go berserk! "

Yao Shuang did not pay attention to what Yin Luan was saying behind her. Instead, she was focusing all of her attention on what Yin Luan was saying.

"You mean to say, that profound energy is Shang Zifeng's protective profound energy?"

"Yes, look — the mystical Qi is coming out again!"

"Where?"

Yao Shuang frowned, she stared straight ahead, but could not find any trace of profound energy.

Yin Luan was startled, "Could it be that only Yin Luan can see it? "That golden profound energy …"

"Gold colored profound energy? Now that you have explained it to me, what exactly happened? "

Yao Shuang was extremely surprised, and did not understand what was going on.

"Whenever that old man used a rod to hit Shang Zifeng, a huge amount of golden profound energy would gush out from his Aura Sea in order to defend against the damage brought by the rod. Furthermore, the stream of air was extremely powerful, and was able to cancel out almost all of the damage caused by the staff. If we weren't as far away, the strong light emitted by profound energy would have definitely pierced Yin Luan's eyes. "

Eliminate all of the damage?

Yao Shuang became even more doubtful, "If what you said was true, then how do you explain the injuries on Shang Zifeng's body?"

Yin Luan rolled her eyes. What happened to Little Shuangshuang, why did her IQ become zero?

But he still said: "Of course it's because that Xuan Qi didn't come out before. Look, that old man was so ruthless, he wanted to take Shang Zifeng's life. That would be a threat to Shang Zifeng's life. That's why the Profound Spirit Qi was able to break through the restraints of his body and protect Shang Zifeng. "

After saying this, Yin Luan tilted her head, used his small wings to support her head, and said with a face full of question marks: "No wonder that old man didn't react, it turns out she didn't discover the existence of the protective profound energy! Why is it that only Yin Luan can see it? "

Yao Shuang didn't know why either.

But suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something.

The cultivation of Genuine Force in the Patriarch Zhen was an external skill that required strength.

As for the rod, it was one of the treasures of the Yuxu Sect, and was naturally a precious treasure of the sect.

If he used external techniques to activate the Dao tools, their strength would definitely be greatly reduced, thus, compared to normal methods, Shang Zifeng's injuries would be much less.

Yao Shuang stared at Shang Zifeng for a moment, and finally found some clues.

Although Shang Zifeng looked as if he was about to die, he was not in a sorry state as he was on the outside. This dispelled some of his worry.

Now she understood why the Grand Elder and Ling Changfeng had watched Shang Zifeng suffer without doing anything.

A broken hand or foot could still be repaired, but if he lost his life, then everything would be over.

He did so to gag Patriarch Zhen.

Patriarch Zhen was still waving his rod and hitting Shang Zifeng hard. In the sky above Virtual Hall, a strange and dark aura permeated.

Fifty staff, a hundred staff, two hundred staff, two hundred staff, two hundred and ninety-nine staff … Just as the last staff was about to reach him, Patriarch Zhen's eyes turned serious as he channeled all of his energy to envelop the entire staff.

"Brat, don't blame this old man for being vicious. Remember this old man's face. In your next life, don't offend this old man again. Otherwise, the you today will be the result of your next life!"

With that, the Patriarch Zhen exerted all his strength and fiercely smashed towards Shang Zifeng's chest, intending to give him a fatal blow.

The current Shang Zifeng was already covered in wounds. His face, body, and legs were all stained with blood.

The unconscious Shang Zifeng was woken up by the pain again, he spat out a large pool of fresh blood. This time, he fainted once again, his arms striking down vertically, looking exactly the same as when he died.

Upon seeing this sight, everyone exclaimed in a low voice.

had forcibly taken three hundred Celestial Staff, and it was even his enemy who had personally executed him. This was a number that they normally wouldn't even dare to think about.

It was hard for them to imagine what kind of torture Shang Zifeng had to bear!

Hong Shan's eyes were filled with tears as she clenched her fists. Her fingertips dug deep into her flesh.

She didn't want to believe that this decision was made by the great elder, who had always been compassionate to the masses. She also didn't want to believe that the Yuxu Sect she respected the most would actually watch Shang Zifeng suffer such torture.

Her father, Senior Brothers and Junior Master, actually did not go to stop them.

"Enough!"

Hong Shan let out a loud cry as a wisp of red light passed the lightning pillar. When everyone could see the red light clearly, Hong Shan had already lowered Shang Zifeng from the lightning pillar.

At this point of time, the 300 Celestial Staff had already finished, Shang Zifeng was like a dead man lying in Hong Shan's arms motionlessly.

Hong Shan's tears dropped onto Shang Zifeng's face. In the silence, only the sound of tears could be heard.

"Enough, enough, enough!"

Hong Shan was extremely excited, the red blood was mixed with crystal clear tears, in everyone's eyes, it was so mournful, so helpless.

Ye Xiao and Du Yun also went forward to check on Shang Zifeng's injuries. The former extended a finger to probe Shang Zifeng's nose and shook his head sorrowfully, "Junior Martial Brother Shang, there's no air …"

"Senior brother Shang …"

Not knowing why, Hong Shan felt that she had committed a heinous crime. Seeing that Shang Zifeng had been beaten to such a state that his human form had disappeared, he couldn't help but cry loudly.

Yao Shuang clenched her teeth and asked Yin Luan, "Shang Zifeng, he …"

"Little Shuangshuang doesn't need to worry, Shang Zifeng is still alive, he is only in a fake death state. As long as we impart profound energy to him within an hour, he will definitely be able to keep his little life!"

Hearing Yin Luan's words, Yao Shuang's heart finally calmed down a lot.

"But …"

Yin Luan wanted to say something but hesitated.

"But what?"

"Although he is not dead, all the tendons and bones throughout his body have been broken. He is already a cripple."

This was also within Yao Shuang's expectations. Although Shang Zifeng had the Profound Spirit Qi to protect his body, that celestial staff was not just any ordinary metal rod. With three hundred staff, he would be lucky to be able to keep his life.

Xuan Cheng saw Hong Shan suddenly rush forward and hugged Shang Zifeng tightly. He was startled, and then shouted angrily: "Shan Er, quickly retreat."

"Father, it's impossible to kill someone, but you used such a cruel method to deal with him. Don't you feel guilty?!"

"How dare you!" Amongst those present, which one of them is not a senior of yours, is there anyone who would speak like that!? "

"Senior, what is a senior!?" People who show great concern at all times are regarded as elders. A person who provides moral guidance to this junior is considered an elder! "

Hong Shan's gaze was firm, and every word was piercing to the heart, "Untalented Shan Er, dare I ask father, for a person to be so ruthless, so merciless, so indifferent to torture, and so blind to death, can you be considered an elder?!"

"You — you —"

The moment Su Jingqi woke up, he went back to the Virtual Hall, and looked at the process of Shang Zifeng's execution from head to toe.

Seeing how the Junior Sister Shan talked back to her master, she was shocked in her heart.

Looking at Master's expression, it seemed that he was even gloomier than before, thus he hurriedly advised: "Please calm your anger Master, Junior Sister Shan is still young, it is understandable that I do not understand Master."

"Still young?!"

Xuan Cheng was so angry that he started laughing, "In terms of age, she's already at the age of twenty. To be shouting at his father like this, regardless of whether he was young or old, what sort of logic was that! "Why aren't you pulling her away? Don't tell me that the things you've learnt in the past four years have all turned into spectating!"

Su Jingqi trembled, seeing that even he was enraged by Master, he could not help but turn to look at Hong Shan, and thought: "Junior Sister Shan, Master is already angry, please do not blame Senior Brother for being rude."

He immediately flashed behind Hong Shan at an extremely strange angle, causing Hong Shan to faint. After that, he did not care about whether Shang Zifeng lived or died, and after that, he slapped Shang Zifeng's body to separate him and Hong Shan, causing Shang Zifeng to directly fall to the ground. Shang Zifeng then quickly pulled Hong Shan into his embrace, and following Xuan Cheng's instructions, he brought her back to Qingdi Taosit Place.

Su Jingqi moved quickly, in one breath, he was so fast that even Ye Xiao and the others could not react.

To be honest, if Su Jingqi was serious, he would not be's match.

Although Hong Shan had been a direct disciple of Xuan Cheng since he was young, in terms of strength, Su Jingqi was definitely higher than him.

Ling Changfeng strongly suppressed the urge to slap Su Jingqi a few times. He looked at the Grand Elder, then remained standing in place with an unchanged expression. But the worry in his eyes still could not be hidden.

The chaos on the field gradually calmed down, and the Grand Elder's dignified voice rang out once more.

"Du Ze, throw Shang Zifeng out of the mountain. From today onwards, he will never be seen again in Yuxu Sect!"

With that, Chen Xu disappeared from everyone's sight in a flash.

Yao Shuang was startled, Chen Xu actually said that he wanted Du Ze to throw Shang Zifeng out, what was his intention?

If Yin Luan had not told her that Shang Zifeng was still alive, Yao Shuang would have really thought that Chen Xu wanted to kill him.

Seeing Du Ze who seemed to have achieved his goals as a lowly human, dragging Shang Zifeng along like a dead dog as he walked out of the mountain gate, Yao Shuang's eyes became sharper.

Without hesitation, she moved her feet slightly, holding the snowball and followed without any movement.

Seeing that, the Patriarch Zhen did not stop him, to him, he had already achieved his goal, even if he did not personally check for breath, he believed that Shang Zifeng was dead for sure.

"Elders, I shall write off today's matter off. Farewell!"

Since the dust had settled, Patriarch Zhen could not stay any longer. He said, "Goodbye!"

Then, he walked out without looking back.

Ye Xiao and the rest of the Xixuan Taosit Place s gnashed their teeth in hatred as they watched the figure of the Patriarch Zhen leave.

It was impossible for them to not have any feelings for Shang Zifeng after being together with him for four years. Even though Shang Zifeng was a piece of trash who kept dragging the Xixuan Taosit Place down, they did not complain at all.

Now that they saw Shang Zifeng being tormented to death, they truly had a feeling that there was nowhere to spread the fire.

Yuxu Mountain Sect.

Along the way, Du Ze dragged Shang Zifeng for a long time before finally releasing his consciousness to investigate the area. Feeling that there were no more gazes following them, he relaxed slightly, and the corner of his mouth gradually formed into a sinister sneer. He looked at the streaks of blood that seeped out of Shang Zifeng's body, without a trace of sympathy.

Although Ye Xiao said that Shang Zifeng was out of breath, but for safety's sake, Du Ze had personally checked Shang Zifeng's breath.

After confirming that Shang Zifeng had indeed stopped breathing, he laughed out loud, "Shang Zifeng, you should not have, should not have quarreled with Zhen Shuai over this matter, nor did you start a fight, allowing that little bastard to injure him. Now that things have gotten to this point, don't blame me. If you have to blame someone, blame Zhen Shuai, for causing your death. If he didn't see something he shouldn't have, we wouldn't have tried to kill him! However, this fellow's luck is quite good. If Bai Yufei hadn't passed by us suddenly, we wouldn't have stopped so suddenly and had to pretend to run away in a sorry state! Originally, I thought that after sending Zhen Shuai back to the Qingdi Taosit Place, there would be no more chances to make a move. Who knew that the sky was helping me? There was a monster attack which happened to give us a chance. So we killed him to prevent future troubles! But then again, this is your life! In this world, the strong were respected! You have no strength and no background, so you have to be the stepping stone for others and clear the way for them, even if it means you have to die for them! "

Du Ze raised his eyes and looked towards the Star Point Cliff which was not far away, his gaze becoming extremely ruthless.

"Shang Zifeng, since you are already dead, let's see how you die! I've heard that there are many ferocious beasts at the bottom of Star Point Cliff. It seems like those ferocious beasts haven't tasted human flesh for a long time, so I'll leave it for you to let them have a taste … "

Dragging Shang Zifeng with him, Du Ze quickly ran towards Star Point Cliff. Then, with a swing of his hand, he directly threw Shang Zifeng down the cliff.

Just as he turned around, a silver light flashed past the horizon. It chased after Shang Zifeng's figure that had fallen down, and also flew down the cliff …
