Chapter 72: Consecutive Killings

“Pfft...”

Lian Xing opened his mouth, spitting a mouthful of blood onto Du Fei’s face, his expression twisted with a fierce, mournful roar: "Du Fei! Do you really think you can take both our lives alone! Even if I die today, I will drag you down with me!"

As he spoke, a sinister look appeared on Lian Xing’s face. His true qi surged suddenly, and his hands instantly clamped onto Du Fei’s right hand, preventing him from making any move.

Almost simultaneously, Lian Hao’s palm struck Du Fei’s back with great force!

“Boom...”

At this moment, Du Fei’s body suddenly trembled, and his left hand shot backward, meeting Lian Hao’s palm head-on!

“Boom...”

The two palms touched and immediately separated, sending both men flying in opposite directions. However, Du Fei’s movements did not change; he used the force of Lian Hao’s palm to lunge at Lian Xing again.

“Pfft...”

Lian Xing spat out another mouthful of blood, but with Du Fei’s grip loosened, he felt a bit more relaxed. His true qi circulated through his body in an instant, and his toes quickly tapped the ground, dissipating the force of the previous palm strike.

If he could just get through this moment, then with Lian Hao’s help, they still had a good chance of defeating Du Fei!

However, at this moment, a faint smile appeared on Du Fei’s face. As he landed, instead of dissipating the force, he tapped his toes again and lunged at Lian Xing even faster.

Lian Xing’s eyes twitched, and a sudden sense of fear surged in his heart. He turned his head sharply!

“Bastard!”

Behind him was a large rock, blocking all possible retreat routes.

He should have known this, but he had forgotten in the heat of the moment!

“Crack...”

Almost as he turned his head, Lian Xing felt his throat tighten. Du Fei’s right hand clamped onto his throat again, pushing his already slowed body forward and slamming him into the large rock behind him!

“Boom...”

The large rock shook, and a deep crack appeared on its surface.

Lian Xing felt a sudden sweetness in his throat, as if his Adam’s apple had been shattered. His ribs on his front and back were broken in the collision, and his internal organs were numb. Dark blood surged up his throat.

He felt a sweetness in his throat but had no strength left to spit out the blood.

“Goodbye! No need to see me off!”

Du Fei smiled coldly, and his true qi surged within him, crashing forward like a tidal wave!

“Boom...”

Lian Xing mustered all his true qi to resist this attack, but he was already too injured. His true qi dissipated halfway through the effort!

The large rock behind him shook and split in two. Lian Xing’s body was thrown forward, crashing to the ground, and blood gushed from his seven orifices.

His face was as pale as gold foil. He struggled to lift his still-intact spine, his eyes fixed on Du Fei, his expression indescribable.

At this moment, Du Fei’s expression was also grim. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, a faint smile on his face.

Although he had killed Lian Xing, he had also suffered significant injuries from the series of attacks, especially from Lian Hao’s palm strike, which had severely damaged his internal organs.

However, his will was strong, and these minor injuries did not affect him.

Seeing that Lian Xing still had some strength left, Du Fei sneered, his figure flashing as he landed in front of Lian Xing. He lifted his right foot and stepped on Lian Xing’s chest.

“Crack...”

This time, Lian Xing’s chest caved in deeply. He spat out a piece of flesh, trying to raise his hand but lacking the strength. He sneered, “Du Fei... My Lian family... will never rest until you are dead...”

Before he could finish, the blood in his mouth stopped flowing, and his head tilted to the side. He was dead.

Seeing Lian Xing’s death, Du Fei’s gaze did not linger on him. He turned sharply, his eyes fixed on Lian Hao, who was charging toward him.

At this moment, Lian Hao’s expression was extremely complex!

Shock, fear, unease, disbelief... all these emotions were frozen on his face. But he was not an ordinary person and quickly regained his composure.

His originally charging figure came to a sudden stop as he landed, ignoring the turmoil in his chest, and began to retreat.

Both of them were clear-minded. Lian Hao knew that this mission had failed. Staying here would only mean death, with no other purpose!

“Since you came, why are you in such a hurry to leave? Lian Hao, this is not how you treat guests!” Du Fei took a deep breath, smiled coldly, and his toes tapped the ground, his figure darting forward, lunging at Lian Hao!

Seeing Du Fei charge, Lian Hao’s face showed shock. He clapped his hands together, grabbing a fallen tree nearby and flinging it at Du Fei!

“Bang...”

The tree in front of Du Fei was split in two by his palm, and his figure seemed even faster! He struck Lian Hao’s head with a palm!

Lian Hao’s face changed instantly, but he had no way to avoid it. He quickly mustered all his true qi and struck forward!

“Crack...”

The two palms collided, and a cracking sound came from Lian Hao’s wrist, which broke instantly. Du Fei’s palm showed no mercy, striking Lian Hao’s chest!

“Pfft...”

Lian Hao opened his mouth, spitting out another mouthful of blood, his face turning red to the extreme. At this moment, he was almost on the brink of madness!

Du Fei was too ruthless, each move leaving no room for mercy, and his heart showed no hesitation. This left Lian Hao no chance to escape!

He had no time to catch his breath!

Lian Hao had originally thought that with the three of them, they could easily defeat Du Fei!

Du Fei’s strength was mainly in his alchemy skills!

But now he realized that unless the three of them worked together, they would still only die in front of Du Fei!

However, it was too late to think about this now!

“What is Du Fei’s background! Why is he so strong! If I had known...” Regret filled his heart, and the last bit of fighting spirit in Lian Hao disappeared. He only thought about finding an opportunity to escape quickly!

He had even lost the strength to fight back!

Although Du Fei’s face remained calm, his chest was boiling with blood. The Ice Heart Technique he practiced had a restraining effect on the Flowing Flame Technique, but after the series of attacks, his true qi was already weak. If not for the true qi he had held in his chest, he would not have had the strength to kill Lian Hao!

After all, although Du Fei was powerful, Lian Hao and Lian Xing were not simple either. If they had not harbored private thoughts and not held back, Du Fei would have suffered a significant loss from the first strike.

However, after the first strike, even if they regretted it, it was too late.

“No matter what, I must kill Lian Hao. There will be no such opportunity again!”

Du Fei swallowed the blood that had risen to his throat, his vision darkening, but his figure leaped up, his true qi condensing at his fist. With a low cry, he struck down!

Lian Hao also let out a scream, like a cornered dog. At this moment, his true qi surged, and his palms glowed with fire, striking Du Fei!

“Bang...”

A fist and a palm collided, and Lian Hao’s body made a cracking sound. He staggered backward, colliding with a tree, sweat pouring down his face.

Du Fei’s figure flipped in the air before landing, and he could not hold back a mouthful of blood.

Seeing this, Lian Hao’s face showed a faint smile. He sighed and suddenly fell to the ground, his face twisted, whispering, “So that’s it. I thought you were so powerful, but it was just bad luck... If Lian Xing and I hadn’t killed Lian Hao, the one who would be dead now would be you!”

Du Fei touched the blood at the corner of his mouth, suddenly shaking his head and smiling, “Your Lian family talks too much. If you wanted my life, why did you keep fighting among yourselves? Isn’t that just asking for death? Now that your meridians are all broken, you are doomed. Why not just die and save yourself the trouble?”

Lian Hao laughed bitterly, blood continuously flowing from the corners of his mouth, his eyes filled with hatred. He sneered, “I never thought that the three of us, who were trained by the Lian family to be top-notch Ninth-Rank Martial Masters, would not be a match for you! But you are also seriously injured, right? In this Mystic Grotto, there are many who want your life, not just our Lian family! Even if I am doomed, you won’t have it easy either! With your current condition, you have only one path to death!”

Du Fei smiled faintly, a mocking expression on his face, “You are already dead, why worry about my fate?”

Lian Hao laughed bitterly again, suddenly throwing his head back and laughing, “Very well! Very well! Du Fei! The path to the netherworld is long, I will wait for you on the roadside! When we meet in the netherworld, we will fight again!”

As he spoke, his body suddenly trembled, and a cracking sound came from his body. Then, his body collapsed like a
