Staring at the pitch-black, hairless Old Chan Chu— Lin Feng didn’t care that the waves of fire within the formation had yet to dissipate. He immediately shouted toward Yin Er in the distance:

”Go! Beat him to death!”

That earlier impact had been so powerful that even the incredibly reinforced wall of the energy cauldron couldn’t withstand it.

So a mere human body—like Old Chan Chu’s—had undoubtedly suffered even greater damage.

Following the principle of ”strike while the enemy’s wounded”, Lin Feng naturally wasn’t about to let this opportunity go to waste.

”Swoosh!”

The moment he heard Lin Feng’s order, Yin Er shot forward without hesitation!

The Earth Demon Puppet charged directly through the still-raging, brilliant waves of flame, heading straight for Old Chan Chu, who remained pinned against the cauldron wall.

”Ssss…”

As Yin Er rushed in, the intense heat from the lingering flame clouds caused sizzling sounds to echo off his metal body.

Even the toughest outer metal of the Earth Demon Puppet began to melt slightly under the intense heat!

Fortunately, the distance between the puppet and Old Chan Chu wasn’t too far.

By the time the outer layer had mostly melted, Yin Er had already reached the gravely injured Old Chan Chu.

Watching the puppet tear through the flames and approach—the scorched Old Chan Chu’s eyes filled with fear.

Though he had managed to temporarily suppress the fire seeds within him, he had not been able to expel them completely.

In such a state, the last thing he wanted was another fight with Lin Feng and Tian Huo Zun Zhe.

Not to mention, the earlier Five Ring Flame Expelling Technique unleashed by Tian Huo Zun Zhe, though it hadn’t directly struck him—due to the close proximity and his lack of any defense at the time…the resulting shockwave and raging flames had still injured him severely.

If he fought again now, there was no doubt about who would die—it would be him.

Gritting his teeth through the pain, Old Chan Chu quickly turned his head and shouted at Lin Feng: ”Friend, we can talk this out! I am a peak seventh-tier alchemist! If you’re willing to spare me, I’ll offer a scroll of High-Grade Earth Class Dou Technique and three peak seventh-tier pills as ransom!”

At this moment, he was only trying to stall for time.

As long as he could take healing and recovery pills—even partially restoring his wounds and Dou Qi would give him a chance to escape this death trap.

However, Lin Feng paid him no mind.

He simply focused silently on repairing the energy cauldron’s interior.

Whether or not Old Chan Chu knew about his conflict with Granny Yin was irrelevant—just based on the intensity of their current fight, there was clearly no room left for negotiation.

Yin Er arrived behind Old Chan Chu.

Without any thoughts or hesitation, the puppet followed Lin Feng’s command.

It raised its arm, clenched a fist—and smashed it down at Old Chan Chu’s skull with full force!

”Bastard! Don’t let me catch a chance, or I’ll show you what real pain feels like!”

Seeing that neither Lin Feng nor Tian Huo Zun Zhe responded to his offer, Old Chan Chu’s face twisted in rage.

If they would just give him a little more time—let him stabilize his injuries and deal with the strange fire seeds in his body…

Even if he couldn’t kill them in revenge, he would definitely have the chance to escape.

But right now—these two weren’t giving him even a second to breathe.

So, with no time to think about the consequences, he began frantically drawing Dou Qi from the surrounding heaven and earth.

His own reserves were all being used to suppress the fire seeds inside him—he couldn’t afford to use any of it.

If those fire seeds detonated again, he’d be finished.

After absorbing a bit of Dou Qi, he hastily thrust out his fist to collide with the silver punch flying straight at his face.

”Damn it—!”

Just as his fist collided with the puppet’s— Old Chan Chu suddenly felt a sharp gust of wind roar past the side of his head. A surge of alarm instantly shot through his heart.

He instinctively tried to twist his body to avoid the sudden attack—

”Fierce Bear Ground-Smashing Fist!”

But just as he started to move his head, a pale golden fist slammed directly into his temple with full force.

His ears rang. His vision blurred. And his body was once again hurled backward by the violent force of the blow.

”This Phoenix Sky Wing, enhanced by Feng Qing’er’s blood… really is incredible.”

As Lin Feng continued his relentless pursuit, he couldn’t help but inwardly sigh in admiration.

If Feng Qing’er hadn’t unintentionally strengthened his Heavenly Phoenix Wing, that sneak attack just now might not have succeeded at all.

Up in the air, Tian Huo Zun Zhe noticed Lin Feng’s strike landing successfully. His hand seals changed abruptly.

In response to his seal change, the five-colored flames surging within the Five Ring Flame Expelling Technique suddenly boiled violently!

Moments later, they began pouring toward his right arm in a blinding torrent!

The more the fire gathered, the more terrifying it became—until eventually, a massive flame-forged arm, dozens of meters long, materialized.

It looked like the arm of a Fire God, sheathing Tian Huo Zun Zhe’s already somewhat ethereal limb.

”Arm of the Fire God—Annihilate Heaven and Earth!”

With a stomp of his foot, Tian Huo Zun Zhe clenched the massive flame-wrapped fist and hurled it downward—like a divine judgment, it came crashing toward the falling Old Chan Chu with devastating force and explosive speed!

”You can’t kill me! I’m the Chief Alchemist of the Myriad Poisons Sect! If you dare kill me, the sect will never let you go!”

Seeing that streak of five-colored brilliance roaring down from the heavens, Old Chan Chu’s face twisted in raw terror.

”BOOM!”

This strike exploded with a thunderous blast that echoed through the heavens.

A massive wave of energy rippled out in every direction like lightning!

Even Lin Feng’s face tightened as he watched the explosion slam into the energy cauldron’s interior wall.

”CRACK!”

Suddenly, a clear and harsh cracking sound rang out through the space.

That reinforced cauldron wall—already showing wear—fractured again, spiderweb cracks spreading across it like a shattered mirror.

As for Old Chan Chu, who took the full force of the blow—he was sent plummeting down, his body smashing into the glowing formation beneath the array.

The impact trembled through the ground, shaking the formation platform itself!

”Grand Profound—Holy Flame Halberd!”

Seeing that Old Chan Chu was still not quite dead, Lin Feng didn’t hesitate.

He immediately drew the last traces of energy from two magic cores, absorbing them into his body.

Then, raising both arms overhead, he suddenly slammed them downward.

With a shout, he summoned his final blow.

Above his head, a long, jade-green halberd—over thirty meters long—condensed into being.

Under his control, the halberd plunged down like a divine spear, aiming directly for Old Chan Chu’s heart!

”Pfft~”

The old man had no strength left to resist.

The halberd pierced cleanly through his heart, killing him instantly.

His body twitched a few times… then went still.

He was dead.

”Hm?”

Just after dealing the finishing blow, Lin Feng’s expression shifted.

He suddenly sensed a soul body attempting to sneak away below the array!

”Go!”

With a flick of his finger, several invisible fire chains shot out at blinding speed, lashing toward a hidden point in the space below.

Sensing the incoming attack from the skies—a faded, ghost-like form of Old Chan Chu suddenly appeared.

His face twisted with fury as he bellowed: ”Bastard! Are you seriously trying to wipe me out completely? If you do this, the Myriad Poi—”
