Chapter 1217 A Standoff Across the Sea of Stars
“He saw us.”
As if by telepathy, almost the instant Wuwei Gong turned around, Fei Boyuan, who was leading Gu Xiu and Li Changgong toward the statue in the main hall, also suddenly turned his head to look out the window.
The father and son's eyes met for a moment.
next moment.
With a single step, Duke Wuwei abandoned the East City battlefield without hesitation and immediately turned back to charge. He was not a cultivator of the spiritual energy path, nor did he have the ability to fly; he relied entirely on his physical strength to run quickly.
Yet, strangely enough, the person was still walking in the air.
It's not quite right to say it's in the air. If you look closely, you can see that with each step he takes, a crack appears in the void. As he rushes out at high speed, one spatial crack after another, like ice flowers, appears behind him.
Exquisitely beautiful, yet infinitely powerful!
"Martial arts shatter the void! Such powerful physical strength!" Even Gu Xiu couldn't help but twitch his eyelids when he saw this scene.
He had previously discovered that although most of the cultivators in the Three Enclosures Sea of Sin looked like mortals, their physical bodies were actually much stronger than those of the Haoyu cultivators, and they clearly all practiced body-refining techniques. Now, the power that Duke Wuwei used allowed Gu Xiu to make this judgment immediately.
This person's physical strength is much greater than mine!
even……
It's even more powerful than the Xuanwu Armor, which was still in its unfinished stage!
"Let's speed up." Seeing the terrifying speed of Duke Wuwei, Fei Boyuan's expression became more tense, and the already not slow speed was increased again.
Even so, the speed couldn't be increased too much.
Even with the heart of the Mohist leader, Fei Boyuan still needs to constantly urge and activate it, then draw upon its power to solidify the starry sky ahead. This process is destined to be slow, no matter how fast it is.
"You unfilial son, what do you think you're doing?!"
They hadn't gone far when a furious roar suddenly rang out. Turning their heads, they saw Wu Wei Gong standing on the windowsill, angrily shouting inside. At that moment, Wu Wei Gong was no more than ten feet away from them, and Gu Xiu could even clearly sense the terrifying power of Wu Wei Gong's blood and qi.
Gu Xiu had seen Duke Wuwei from afar at the banquet before, but he didn't feel much at the time. Now it seems that it was because the other party did not use much of his physical strength.
"Isn't what I'm doing already obvious?" Looking at the Duke of Wuwei, who was practically within arm's reach, just a few steps away from capturing them, Fei Boyuan remained completely calm. Instead, a cruel smile curled at the corner of his lips.
"I will destroy this source of holy light."
"Are you insane? If you destroy Holy Light, everyone in the entire Wuwei City will die!"
"Isn't that perfect?" Fei Boyuan laughed. "Anyway, Wuwei City is completely ruined, and the entire Sanyuan Niehai is no longer necessary. What's the point of lingering on? It's better if they all die."
"The traitor, the traitor!"
Duke Wuwei was furious and even tried to climb in through the window, but in the end he just gritted his teeth, took a step and disappeared out the window.
But it's clear he hasn't given up.
"The Wuwei Hall was built by the Mo family's divine path. Even the city lord of Wuwei City cannot act outside the rules of this place. He can only proceed from the main gate along the path we have already taken."
"So we need to hurry."
As soon as Fei Boyuan finished speaking, Gu Xiu heard a loud explosion coming from downstairs. Although he couldn't see the specific situation downstairs, Gu Xiu could roughly guess that Wu Weigong was rushing upstairs at an unparalleled speed.
There's really not much to say at times like this.
We have no choice but to speed up.
Fortunately, the Mo family's divine methods in the Wuwei Hall were indeed powerful. Even someone like the Wuwei City Lord took a full quarter of an hour to finally reach the top floor.
In the span of a quarter of an hour, Gu Xiu and his group had completely entered the area of the statue. It was a circular area about three zhang in diameter, not very large, especially since the statue itself occupied a considerable space.
Although the location wasn't exactly spacious, this area didn't have any star power; instead, it was a completely solid foundation, so the three of them could stand here comfortably.
The place they had just passed through had now transformed into a sea of stars once more. At the edge of this starry sea, Wu Weigong glared angrily at them. He was extremely wary of this Starry Sky Divine Realm and had not rashly set foot there; otherwise, given the strength he had displayed, no one would have been able to stop him.
"You unfilial son, stop right now!" Duke Wuwei said through gritted teeth, his eyes blazing with fury as he stared intently at Fei Boyuan.
Fei Boyuan ignored him and went to the sculpture on his own. After looking at it casually for a while, he reached out and grabbed the ghost ball in the sculpture's hand.
But just as his hand was about to land on the Ghost Craft Sphere, Gu Xiu suddenly stopped him. Fei Boyuan was puzzled, but Gu Xiu just stared at the Ghost Craft Sphere, which was the size of a human head: "It contains extremely powerful energy, which is currently being held back. Touching it rashly will definitely break the balance."
Ok?
Fei Boyuan's eyelids twitched, and a blue light flashed in his eyes. After a moment, his expression became serious. He had also discovered this power.
"You unfilial son, the Mo family's divine path has used the Starry Sky Divine Domain to protect the core of the Holy Light. Do you think the other divine paths won't take action?"
"I can tell you that this Mo family's Ghostly Craftsmanship Ball contains the power of the three schools of thought: the Divine Way of the Military School, the Divine Way of the Confucian School, and the Divine Way of the Legalist School. Anyone, even me, who touches it rashly will be immediately annihilated by the power of these three schools of thought."
"I advise you to stop fighting and come out right now, otherwise the three of you will be annihilated, body and soul!"
Duke Wuwei said with a gloomy expression.
Fei Boyuan's expression was solemn, and he dared not make any rash moves. He simply circled the statue, observing the monstrous sphere from various angles. Seeing that he was unwilling to give up, Duke Wuwei clenched his fist and said:
"You're ruthless enough to lay a hand on your aunt and blood relatives."
"What? Is the Duke of Wuwei angry?"
Fei Boyuan finally stopped ignoring his father and turned back with a smile: "The only pity is that two of them went to support the city gate, otherwise you would have been childless. What a pity."
"You unfilial son! Did you have to be so cruel? They are your family!"
"Why is it unnecessary? As for your so-called relatives, when my path to divinity was cut off, my mother was forced to her death, and my surname was stripped away, why didn't you call them my relatives then? Now you think I'm your relative? Isn't that ridiculous?"
Fei Boyuan spoke casually, even trying to appear as a victor looking down on others, but Gu Xiu, standing right next to him, could sense that Fei Boyuan's emotions were fluctuating greatly at that moment.
His heart was not as light as he had said.
Faced with Fei Boyuan's words, Duke Wuwei fell silent, seemingly unsure how to respond.
Fei Boyuan scoffed, "What? The dignified Duke of Wuwei, the absolute ruler of Wuwei City, has a moment when he can't refute anything? That's truly rare."
"Stop right now and come back, or I won't kill you."
"What if I say no?"
“I know you hate me, and I don’t care whether you hate me or not. I just hope that you can think about the lives of the other people in the city. The lives of tens of millions of people in Wuwei City are very important.”
"They are all a bunch of selfish scum influenced by the power of the Sea of Sin, or they are just adding to our troubles. It would be better for them to die and be completely free."
"you……!"
"Don't try to portray yourself as so great. I know you well. You, Duke Wuwei, only think about yourself. Otherwise, why would I have been able to get to this place so easily? It's because all those who followed you back then were killed by you. It's also thanks to your selfishness that I was able to reach this core location without any obstacles."
"Do you really think my power is afraid of the Holy Light disappearing?" Duke Wuwei gritted his teeth, his eyes flashing with a fierce light as he looked at Fei Boyuan:
“I can’t get in, but you can’t get out either. Once the Holy Light Origin is lost, the Starry Sky Divine Realm will collapse without a fight. At that time, I can kill you all and go to another city.”
"This means that at most you'll drag the ordinary people of Wuwei City down with you, while I, the person you hate the most, will still be able to live on!"
As a powerful figure in the Divine Path, Duke Wuwei not only possessed immense physical strength but also had terrifying prowess in the Divine Path of Military Strategy. He was indeed confident that even if the Holy Light disappeared and Wuwei City was destroyed, he could not possibly be easily killed by mere gray mist.
Wuwei Gong understood this, and Fei Boyuan understood it as well.
and so.
To Wuwei Gong's words, Fei Boyuan simply grinned and said, "When did I ever say I wanted to kill you?"
"What do you mean?" Duke Wuwei frowned.
But Fei Boyuan laughed and said, "I am a cripple whose divine path has been destroyed, yet I can make a city perish for me, and make the high and mighty Duke of Wuwei have to flee to another city in a panic, be driven by others, and be all alone from now on. Just for this alone, I can say that I have made a profit."
Duke Wuwei's expression instantly turned extremely ugly, but he did not continue arguing with Fei Boyuan. Instead, he took a step forward.
They stepped out towards the Starry Sky Divine Realm before them.
He actually wanted to rely on his strength to force his way into the Starry Sky Divine Realm!
The Starry Sky Divine Realm was indeed powerful. The moment Duke Wuwei stepped in, he instantly fell down, as if entering an endless starry sky. Meteors were immediately drawn in and crashed towards him.
From the outside, it looked as if Duke Wuwei had entered a starry painting. Even so, the power contained within that meteor still made Gu Xiu's eyelids twitch wildly.
That power was immense!
But ironically, this very power was easily defeated by the halberd in the hands of Duke Wuwei.
Immediately afterwards, the Duke of Wuwei in the starry sky painting seemed to glance at them, and then quickly rushed towards their direction.
Extremely fast!
"Oh no, Duke Wuwei has already reached the eighth level of the Divine Path!"
Upon seeing this, Li Changgong's pupils instantly contracted: "Even if the Starry Sky Divine Realm can stop him, without the control of the Mo Family Divine Path Half-Saint, it definitely cannot stop him for long!"
Fei Boyuan's expression also changed drastically:
"I'll focus on cracking the Ghost Ball as soon as possible. As for the two of you..."
"Think of a way, do everything in your power to stop him!"
