Mo Shuyan , who could feel his jaw breaking , stared in disbelief at the humanoid figure surrounded by golden light in front of him.

'...What the hell just happened?'

Everything had happened so fast ... in just the blink of an eye, his arms were severed, and now he found himself completely at the mercy of something.

Soon , as the golden light began to fade , the figure within finally stepped into view.

It was no longer the bulky , wooden-forged puppet from before... but something far more refined — and unsettling.

Mo Shuyan's eyes locked onto the puppet , whose body had become lean yet muscular , every line defined like carved steel.

The surface of its skin gleamed with a smooth golden hue, clear, solid, flawless, shining like living metal beneath the light.

It looked almost human… a human sculpted entirely out of pure gold.

Except, it had no face, no eye, no mouth.

Only a blank , polished surface that reflected light like a mirror.

Mo Shuyan could even see his own expression , wide-eyed and disbelieving , reflected back at him from that smooth, oval head.

Looking at this divine yet terrifying figure, he couldn't help but question whether this thing was even a puppet anymore.

'...Bai Qianlong! Hurry up and help me! ' he commanded inwardly , his thoughts urgent and panicked.

Goldie, as if sensing something , suddenly tightened its grip.

Grip!

Crack!

"Ugh! "

Mo Shuyan groaned in pain , feeling the bones in his face creak under the crushing force.

'Hurry !'

_

_

BOOOM!

Meanwhile , Bai Qianlong, who had just smashed Li Feng to the ground and was about to follow up with another attack - suddenly froze as he turned to look toward Mo Shuyan's direction.

But in that moment of distraction, a blood-covered figure of Li Feng suddenly sneaked up behind him.

His fist rose high , already glowing with silvery light.

"You shouldn't be distracted! "

Li Feng then swung his fist with everything he had.

"Falling Star Fist!"

Bai Qianlong hurriedly turned back and tried to block , but he was too late.

The terrifying silver fist hit his face at point-blank , and then silver light filled his vision.

BOOOOM!!

The world shook.

Li Feng's fist crashed into his face like a meteor, the explosion of force splitting the air with a deafening crack.

Crack! Crack!

The shockwave tore through the clearing, blasting dirt and shattered vines outward in every direction as debris and earth swirled into the air.

Soon after, the dust cleared, and Li Feng finally saw Bai Qianlong's tall figure still standing straight.

…But now his head was completely gone.

" Hehe… it was worth getting beaten like a dog ," Li Feng grinned, his bloody teeth flashing as he looked at the scene.

Falling Star Fist was indeed powerful, but it needed a small time to charge, and this Bai Qianlong was like a relentless beast , never giving Li Feng a single chance.

But for some reason, he saw Bai Qianlong get distracted just now, which gave him the much needed opportunity.

Plus , even though Falling Star Fist was an AoE attack , he had changed it slightly and concentrated all the power into a single point in that strike , afraid it might not be enough.

"Ugh…" he struggled to stand and turned to look toward Mo Shuyan , then saw Goldie's new form.

"What the…?" Li Feng murmured in confusion upon seeing the golden human figure.

If it weren't for their connection , he probably wouldn't have recognized that divine figure as Goldie.

Then he smiled coldly at Mo Shuyan's state.

He could check with Goldie for more details later ... for now , he needed to kill this bastard to avenge Fen Ziyan and get rid of the unpleasant feeling in his chest.

Suddenly , Li Feng felt something from the huge tree.

But before he could even think properly—

BAMM!

"Ugh!"

Li Feng let out a painful groan , spat another mouthful of blood, and was sent flying by a punch.

After being smashed and dragged through the ground by the terrifying force , Li Feng struggled to stand up and looked toward Bai Qianlong.

And he saw, despite being headless , Bai Qianlong had still managed to attack him just now with his outstretched fist.

Then Bai Qianlong suddenly performed a hand seal and finished it with a clap of his hands together, like a monk performing a pray with a golden light shining on his back.

HUMMM-

Soon , Li Feng's eyes widened as he saw a pair of metallic arms burst out from Bai Qianlong's back with a sharp, grinding sound.

CRANK!—CLANG!

The artificial arms were dark and rough, covered in strange glowing runes that pulsed like veins filled with light.

Hiss…

Steam hissed from the joints as the two arms unfolded fully , each as thick as a man's torso, ending in clawed fingers that shimmered with spiritual energy.

"…Are you kidding me…" Li Feng muttered , blood dripping from his chin , looking at this tall figure that had become even more terrifying and menacing.

Li Feng didn't know that this was what had earned Bai Qianlong a rather fearsome title.

As one of the top geniuses of the Earth Dragon Sect,

A man who had reached the Foundation Realm in less than thirty years, who also chosen the hardest and most painful path of Body Tempering, and had still managed to surpass every other genius in his generation,

He was known as...…The Four-Arm Vajra, Bai Qianlong.

Then the headless Bai Qianlong resumed his stance again.

Except now, instead of two arms… he had four.

Bai Qianlong's head also suddenly regenerated back into its perfect shape, complete with his closed eyes and calm face.

Swoosh!

Before Li Feng could even react , Bai Qianlong's figure blurred , vanishing from sight.

BAM!

"Ughhh!"

A fist smashed into Li Feng's gut , folding him in half as the air burst from his lungs.

WHAM!

Another blow came from the side , an uppercut to the ribs that sent him spinning mid-air.

With bones cracked, blood splattered in the air.

Suddenly —

BAM! BAM! BAM!

BAM! BAM! BAM!

BAM! BAM! BAM!

The four metallic arms suddenly moved in frenzy like a storm yet also in perfect rhythm.... fast, precise, and merciless as it strike every part of Li Feng body.

Each punch landed like a hammer , each strike shaking the ground beneath them.

Li Feng couldn't even tell which direction the next hit would come from.

His body twisted with every blow, his vision shaking violently.

BOOM!

A final hit slammed into his chest, launching him backward like a rag doll.

He crashed through a tree, then another, until his body hit the ground and rolled several times before stopping.

"Haa… haa cough!…" He coughed hard, spitting blood mixed with bits of flesh and bone.

His ribs screamed with pain as half of them probably broken.

'Four arms… I actually got combo by four damn arms…'

Yet despite being so injured, Li Feng tried to stand again... only to fall on his back as his arm gave out.

Bai Qianlong slowly stepped out of the dust , each of his four arms flexing slightly , the runes across his back pulsing with a dull red glow.

Steam hissed from his joints with every movement , giving him the appearance of some ancient killing machine fully awakened.

But he didn't continue attacking Li Feng.

Instead , he changed direction and flew toward Goldie.

Seeing the approaching terrifying figure , Goldie let go of Mo Shuyan and kicked him hard.

Then Goldie turned its body, preparing to meet Bai Qianlong imposing figure.

BOOOM!

Bai Qianlong's massive figure smashed directly into Goldie, and a terrific storm of shockwaves exploded outward.

Goldie was sent flying , but before it could even land, a huge looming shadow smashed down from above.

BOOMM!

As the dust cleared , Goldie's fist can be seen currently slammed against Bai Qianlong.

Soon , both figures became blurs of golden light as they start to exchanged blows.

BOOOM!

BOOOM!

BOOOM!

Li Feng who currently lay on the ground, continue to breathing roughly.

Despite being seriously injured and in pain , he still smiled faintly as he looked toward the huge tree.

"Haaa… haaaa… so it's you."

He still hadn't used his trump card so far because he knew the cultivation world wasn't simple and was full of weird tricks.

So he wanted to at least kill his opponent once to see if there were any tricks and now… he knew.

Just now , he had faintly sensed something from the tree before Bai Qianlong regenerated.

His gut told him he needed to take care of that tree first in order to defeat Bai Qianlong.

But his smile suddenly dimmed as that unpleasant feeling in his chest rose again when he remembered Fen Ziyan.

Anger.

Grief.

They surged through his chest like a never-ending wave.

But worst of them all was… blame.

He hated himself for being so careless.

If only he had checked the village properly , and been on guard…

If only he had stayed by her side….

She wouldn't have....

As negative thoughts filled his mind... just then, Fen Ziyan's proud , arrogant yet beautiful smile flashed before him.

'Hehe, don't be polite! You can rely on your amazing senior sister more~'

Li Feng's mind cleared a bit and he smiled slightly , as if he could hear her haughty tone.

Then he let out a long sigh and murmured softly,

"…It seems I've grown quite fond of this proud senior sister of mine."

Then he stood up as he look upward, "….Which is why I must kill these bastards."

Li Feng's eyes filled with determination as he order ,

"…System, upgrade the Starforge Body's star."

[Ding!]

[Please confirm how many stars Host want to upgrade?]

Li Feng's face turned cold as he looked toward the huge tree and slowly replied,

"….Use all of my remaining favour points."
