Chapter 31

A thread of mental energy slipped into the interior of the spirit artifact, and Qin Lie clearly saw a simple and crude spirit array diagram. It was the "Spirit Gathering" array!

That diagram was worlds apart from the "Spirit Gathering" array he was familiar with, whether in terms of intricacy, complexity, or size, it was far inferior!

Back then, he had gone to great lengths to memorize the "Spirit Gathering" array diagram of the Soul Suppressing Pearl, so he had a deep understanding of the "Spirit Gathering" array. Therefore, the moment he saw the diagram within the short spear, he almost instantly recognized it.

The spirit array diagram within the short spear seemed to be just a small part of the "Spirit Gathering" array he knew, perhaps not even a tenth of the "Spirit Gathering" array within the Soul Suppressing Pearl. The intricacy and the lines were crude and clumsy, and it likely could not fully unleash the power of the "Spirit Gathering" array.

A strange expression appeared in Qin Lie's eyes, and a thought arose in his mind: If this can be called a spirit artifact, what would happen if the extremely intricate true "Spirit Gathering" array were inscribed inside?

"Zzzt!"

Before he could think more, the short spear suddenly shot out an electric current.

As his mental energy seeped in, the short spear flickered with electric light, like a tightly held bolt of lightning, radiating a dazzling glow.

"Huh? This can work too?" Qin Lie exclaimed inwardly, then felt it secretly.

He discovered that when the fierce lightning power seeped in and flowed through the crude and incomplete "Spirit Gathering" array, it released the inherent properties of the spirit artifact's material, making the short spear sharper and slightly enhancing his mental energy.

He immediately understood that even the simplest spirit array, as long as it could bring out the advantages of the spirit artifact's material, could enhance a warrior's combat power!

"Qin Lie! Don't come over!"

Ling Feng suddenly shouted, his Fire Cloud Hammer shaking, and clusters of fiery clouds condensed, surrounding Feng Lun like red lanterns.

Both at the Seventh Heaven realm, Feng Lun held a double-bladed axe, and as he swung it, green light halos condensed.

Sometimes, when the double-bladed axe swept in a circle, it could form a beautiful green light wing. The green light wing not only blocked the fiery clouds but also forced Ling Feng to retreat when it spread out.

Clearly, the green light wing could both defend and attack!

"Ling Feng, we are very familiar. Your Fire Cloud Hammer is a second-grade spirit artifact, while my Green Wing Axe is a third-grade! Our realms are the same, and our mental energy is about the same, but my spirit artifact is better, so you can't win me." Feng Lun chuckled, and another beautiful wing condensed as he swung the Green Wing Axe, dispersing the fiery clouds.

When the realms and mental energy of warriors are the same, a higher-quality spirit artifact naturally gives an advantage.

Holding the Green Wing Axe, Feng Lun was full of confidence, not eager to fight to the death, but only to keep Ling Feng from interfering in other battles, allowing the Feng family to smoothly kill the Ling family members.

His strategy was flawless. If Feng Jie hadn't died, after killing Ling Xin, he could quickly eliminate the other Ling family members.

But now...

"Qin Lie! I told you not to come over! Huh?"

Ling Feng suddenly cried out, looking at Qin Lie who was approaching Feng Lun from behind, his face showing a hint of surprise.

Feng Lun didn't even look back, still chuckling, "Do you think such tricks will work? A fool can't make me turn around. Ling Feng, your little tricks are too low-level, laughable."

"Zzzt!"

The sound of electric current suddenly came from behind. As Feng Lun finished his sentence, his face changed drastically, and he quickly turned around, leaving a terrified Ling Feng behind.

Qin Lie held a white-hot, blinding bolt of lightning, exuding a fierce and powerful aura, charging over like a rampaging beast.

"Is this... that fool?"

Feng Lun was stunned, instinctively swinging the Green Wing Axe, and another green wing condensed, immediately heading towards Qin Lie.

A fierce mental energy surged with the green wing, making Qin Lie's expression serious.

But he didn't dodge or yield, gripping the lightning-wrapped short spear, he charged over with a thunderous impact!

"Bang bang bang!"

The lightning power from the short spear collided with the green wing, immediately bursting into a fierce electric current.

"Clang!"

The short spear tore through the green wing and directly hit the head of the double-bladed axe in Feng Lun's hand. In the piercing sound of metal clashing, Qin Lie's seemingly slender body slammed into Feng Lun's chest.

"Crack!"

A crisp sound of bones shattering came from Feng Lun's chest, and his face immediately twisted.

A terrifying sensation of being hit by a giant ship surged in his mind, and his body instantly soared into the air, drawing an ugly parabola before crashing to the ground.

"This..."

Ling Feng was dumbfounded, staring at Qin Lie as if he had seen a ghost, his mind numb.

Qin Lie, who was nearly half the size of Feng Lun, had somehow slammed him away with an unimaginable force. What was going on? What kind of prehistoric beast was hiding in that slender body?

Before Ling Feng could react, Qin Lie's seemingly weak body, without any hesitation, charged at Feng Lun again like a sharp sword.

At this moment, Feng Lun, spitting blood, couldn't stand up and could only move backward in fear...

"The first time at the bonfire, you were the most despicable. I wanted to kill you then, and now I finally get my wish."

Qin Lie muttered, then with a kick, a stone under his feet exploded, and his body soared into the air, like a bolt of lightning from the heavens.

"Thud!"

The short spear, taken from Feng Jie, was thrust into Feng Lun's chest by Qin Lie, pinning him to the ground.

At a glance, Feng Lun looked like a toad nailed to the ground, a pitiful and ugly sight.

"Gurgle!"

Feng Lun's mouth foamed with blood, his body trembling, and the light in his eyes gradually faded.

"Snap!"

At this moment, a thunderous sound came from the short spear, and the internal spirit array seemed to be damaged.

Qin Lie was surprised, touching the short spear and finding that the internal material had scorched marks...

The Heavenly Thunder Power not only had lightning but also the force of thunder! The Heavenly Thunder was too fierce and domineering, and not all spirit artifacts could withstand it.

Feng Jie's short spear couldn't endure the power of lightning for long and was now broken.

"Too weak..."

Qin Lie shook his head, muttering, then picked up Feng Lun's Green Wing Axe.

Then he noticed that the intense fighting sounds had suddenly stopped, and he looked around, puzzled, and was stunned.

At this moment, Ling Yushi, Ling Feng, Ling Ying, Ling Xin, and the other Ling family members, as well as Feng Yi and the other Feng family warriors, all looked at him with shocked expressions!

Those people looked at him as if they had suddenly discovered a demon, their faces filled with fear and shock!

"Is it him? Was it him who killed Feng Jie too?" Ling Ying's eyes sparkled, and she suddenly cheered, "Yay! I knew it had to be him!"

Ling Xin's face was complex, and he suddenly lowered his head, looking ashamed and embarrassed, as if he didn't dare to face Qin Lie.

"You guy, you really hid deep! Even your own people were deceived..." Ling Feng smiled bitterly, his face filled with endless sighs.

Ling Yushi's face glowed with a stunning radiance, and the colors in her eyes made Qin Lie feel uneasy.

"So it was you! It was actually you!" Feng Yi's handsome face twisted, making him look sinister and terrifying, "I said why the Ling family suddenly withdrew! No one left the valley these days, only you were ignored. It seems you were the one causing trouble in the shadows!"

Qin Lie didn't immediately respond to Feng Yi but looked at Ling Feng, Ling Ying, Ling Xin, and the others, asking in surprise, "What are you staring at? Feng Jie and Feng Lun are dead, what are you waiting for?"

He looked at the remaining Feng family members and made a slashing gesture, signaling them to kill the remaining Feng family members.

Ling Feng immediately reacted, feeling ashamed, and shouted, "Don't just stand there, finish off the Feng family!"

Ling Ying, Ling Xin, and the others responded with roars, their morale soaring, charging at the Feng family members like wolves and tigers, attacking with all their might.

The Ling family, who had been at a disadvantage from the start, after the deaths of Feng Jie and Feng Lun and Ling Feng's liberation, had completely turned the tide, retaliating with overwhelming force.

"Retreat! Temporarily retreat! We'll regroup with the Ice Shattering Manor and come back for revenge!" Seeing the situation was not good, Feng Yi didn't dare to say more to Qin Lie and quickly shouted.

As he shouted, he glanced coldly at Qin Lie, not even looking at Ling Yushi, and was the first to retreat.

"Kill with all your might! Kill as many as you can!"

Qin Lie shouted at the same time, then infused the Green Wing Axe with fierce power, and as it glowed with electric light, he threw the axe.

"Boom!"

Under the scorching sun, a thunderclap burst out of nowhere, and the axe, like a frenzied electric dragon, charged at Feng Yi's back.

Feng Yi's face changed, and he hastily stopped, swinging his Rainbow Sword to form five rainbows to block the axe.

"Bang bang bang bang bang!"

The five rainbows collapsed one after another, and he had to use the Rainbow Sword to block the axe's fierce attack. At the moment the sword and axe clashed, his body shook violently, and his flowing hair suddenly turned black.

A fierce thunder power surged through the axe into the Rainbow Sword and then into his body, immediately injuring him.

A mouthful of blood surged to his throat, but he forced it back, seeing Qin Lie charging over with a murderous aura. For the first time in his life, Feng Yi didn't even dare to utter a threat and fled in panic.
