Gui Sha suppressed his aura as he muttered to himself, "What a huge loss! What a huge loss!"
This time, he had suffered a huge loss.
They should not have accepted this mission in the first place.
After all, since their employer had provided such detailed information and equipment, there must be something wrong with their target.
"Still, that person must be in a miserable condition after the explosion!"
Gui Sha was a little frustrated as his younger brother had sacrificed his life, and he needed to waste many resources to resurrect him.
The Demonic Ghost Brothers had already gathered all the necessary resources to advance, yet they had to start all over again now.
Unfortunately, this was not something they could control. Gui Sha and his younger brother were two people who had merged into one; even their souls were stuck together.
If Gui Sha did not resurrect his brother, his soul would also suffer.
Speaking of which, the Demonic Ghost Brothers had committed many evil deeds. They had even participated in the massacre of a city and barely survived.
A large part of the reason was that no matter who died, they would be able to resurrect the other party as long as one of them survived. This could be considered as the two brothers' innate divine ability.
However, there was a price to pay for this revival. Each time they revived, their emotions would slowly disappear.
Gui Sha would have definitely flown into a rage in the past due to the heavy loss. This reward wasn't enough to compensate them.
But now, it didn't seem to matter.
The Demonic Ghost Brothers had revived too many times, so they had almost lost all of their emotions. This was also the reason they had decided one of them would sacrifice himself while the other would flee when they felt something was wrong.
They were following their body's instincts more and more.
If the Demonic Ghost Brothers continued resurrecting, they would completely lose all their emotions and would become walking corpses, wandering in this world.
"He's not far! Later, you will kill that thing which is neither human nor ghost," Zhou Feng calmly said to Li Rong.
Probably because of the explosion, Gui Sha's aura had dropped to a very low level.
Zhou Feng did not plan to deal with him personally. Instead, he would let Li Rong kill Gui Sha.
"M-Me!?" Li Rong was stunned.
Before this, she had been following behind Zhou Feng, but now, he suddenly wanted her to kill someone.
Li Rong was at a loss.
Zhou Feng's gaze turned sharp as he stared at Li Rong and spoke. "That's right. This is the first step to becoming stronger. That person ambushed us just now. If it weren't for my quick reaction, you would have already died!"
"Given your meek character and lack of vigilance, it's only a matter of time before you die outside.
"You're hesitant, but you do have your own opinions. Once someone gets a little tougher, you'll become submissive.
"To be honest, I hate people like this the most."
Zhou Feng did not hold back at all.
He was speaking the truth. Li Rong's personality and overall performance until now showed that she would be unable to survive in the environment outside Heavenly Star City.
This was the personality that he hated the most.
Now, Zhou Feng planned to teach Li Rong a good lesson in order to change her character.
"I… I… I…"
Hearing Zhou Feng's evaluation of her, Li Rong opened her mouth, not knowing how to refute his words.
Zhou Feng did not care about Li Rong's feelings and thoughts.
The golden blood in his body began to burn. This was the first time he was burning the golden blood in his body.
He had accumulated a few drops of golden blood in his body during this period, and he was burning more than half of it now.
Zhou Feng did this because he wanted to test his limits.
Before Li Rong could say anything, a wave of heat overwhelmed her. The pressure that belonged to the Human Emperor broke through the clouds.
A vague figure appeared behind Zhou Feng.
"That's…"
"That aura… That's a phenomenon? Someone manifested a phenomenon?"
"What happened? Why did a battle break out so early? Did they discover the Heavenly Star?"
"…"
Naturally, such a terrifying aura once again attracted the attention of the entire mystic realm.
After all, the Heavenly Star Mystic Realm wasn't too big, and Zhou Feng had created a huge commotion this time.
Among them, Gui Sha's reaction was the biggest as that aura had already locked on him.
Gui Sha was in the midst of resurrecting his younger brother when he suddenly felt a pressure descend and lock on him.
"What happened? This aura… Why does it feel familiar?"
Just as Gui Sha felt that something wasn't right, Zhou Feng, whose whole body was covered in golden flames, descended from the sky like a meteor.
"It's him!? Impossible!"
When Gui Sha saw Zhou Feng, he was dumbfounded.
'He should have been affected by my younger brother's self-explosion! How could he be completely fine? How did he find me?
'He is a monster! We've been set up!'
A trace of panic finally appeared on Gui Sha's face.
If he died, they would no longer be able to get resurrected.
The Demonic Ghost Brothers had been eerily calm before because no matter who died, the other brother could bring the fallen brother back to life. Ergo, why they could calmly discuss who would self-detonate…
The situation was different now.
Gui Sha wanted to evade, but there was no time at all.
Zhou Feng was many times stronger now that he was burning the Human Emperor Blood.
As soon as Gui Sha moved, all the bones in his body were shattered by a single palm strike.
This was a pure crushing force. The immense force penetrated through Gui Sha's entire body, and none of his bones remained intact.
After severely injuring Gui Sha, Zhou Feng stopped burning the Human Emperor Blood.
'The increase in battle prowess is so great? The price is quite high, however…'
After Zhou Feng stopped burning the Human Emperor Blood, he instantly felt a wave of weakness.
Moreover, all the Blood Qi in his body began to move toward his heart. He had tapped into the Human Emperor Blood for a short period, yet he felt as if all of his Blood Qi was drained.
Burning the Human Emperor Blood was the only method recorded in the Human Emperor Scripture.
Zhou Feng had just used it once to finish the battle quickly and test it out.
He did not expect the consumption to be so great.
Still, it was worth it as he had gained another trump card. Plus, he crippled Gui Sha.
Now, besides passive skills, he also had a technique that enhanced his battle prowess.
Zhou Feng swallowed a few pills, and the Level-2 Gluttony turned them into Blood Qi.
At this time, Li Rong finally arrived.
Zhou Feng looked at Li Rong and gave her a look. "Kill him!"
"Now?"
Li Rong glanced at the miserable Gui Sha.
Zhou Feng frowned. "Immediately!"
"Okay!"
Seeing that his complexion was not very good, Li Rong took a deep breath, summoned a small jade hammer, and circulated all the Spiritual Qi in her body to activate it.
The small jade hammer emitted an indestructible aura, and she smashed it into Gui Sha's chest!
Gui Sha did not have the ability to resist at all. He could only watch helplessly as the small hammer struck him.
Following that, he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
The scorching hot fresh blood splashed onto Li Rong's body.
"Ah!"
Li Rong's entire body trembled, but she still tried her best to calm herself.
