“With this kind of strength, you still want to fight three against one? What a fool's dream!" Shi Zhanfeng sneered at the sight.

With that, he stomped hard on the ground, his figure flashed, and he raised an arm, his palm vertical and fingers like a knife, slashing down at Shi Chuankong.

A series of dense Xuan竅 lit up on his arm, and white light surged on his palm, truly resembling a sharp war blade, radiating waves that made people's hearts palpitate.

Shi Chuankong seemed to sense the threat of this strike as well, struggling to retract his blade to meet it, but his body was flanked by the woman and Du Yuan on either side, held firmly in place, unable to break free for a moment.

Han Li cursed inwardly, making ready to rush out of the high tower.

Just then, an unexpected change occurred!

A black light suddenly shone from Shi Chuankong's chest, and a pendant-like object fell from his chest, shattering with a "clatter".

Immediately afterward, a vortex of black light erupted from it, and a strange beast, ten zhang tall, shaped like a demonic ape, but covered in countless dense, spiky scales, emerged from it, crashing headfirst into Shi Zhanfeng, who was approaching.

"Zheng..."

A sharp sound, like metal clashing, rang out, and Shi Zhanfeng, using his hand as a blade, heavily struck the demonic ape's head, and was knocked backward by the impact.

Han Li was slightly stunned at the sight.

The demonic ape's appearance was exactly the same as the狰狞scaled异兽 from the delicate miniature sculpture, resembling a black cage, that Shi Chuankong's third brother had given him back then.

After knocking Shi Zhanfeng away, the demonic ape turned and swung a palm, slapping toward the charming woman.

The latter retracted the bone whip in her hand, lightly leaping away to avoid a direct collision. Du Yuan, seeing this, flashed to the right side of the demonic ape and punched it.

The demonic ape, despite its huge size, reacted quickly, twisting its waist and punching back.

With a loud "boom!"

The two fists collided, erupting in a violent impact, and a burst of turbulent energy swept in all directions as the void trembled.

Shi Chuankong leaped up, using the force to fly backward, trying to escape.

However, just as he leaped into the air, he heard a furious shout: "Where do you think you're going!"

Immediately afterward, a white light flashed above his head, and Shi Zhanfeng arrived in the air, once again slashing down with his hand as a blade.

His speed was so fast that Shi Chuankong had no time to raise his blade to meet it, and could only instinctively lean back.

A white light flashed past his cheek, sliding down his chest.

"Chi..."

A strand of white hair scattered, and a long bloodstain appeared on Shi Chuankong's cheek. The bone armor covering his face shattered with a "crack", and his chest gushed blood, revealing a deep, bone-deep wound.

His body fell to the ground, and Shi Zhanfeng relentlessly pursued, stomping on his chest.

"Boom!"

The earth shook violently, and smoke and dust rose everywhere.

Shi Chuankong's body was embedded in the ground, vomiting blood non-stop, and the ground beneath him was covered in cracks, as dense as a spider web.

Shi Zhanfeng stepped on the wound in his chest, kicked away the Star Weapon war blade that he could no longer hold, flicked it up with his toe, caught it in his hand, brandished it, and gripped it tightly.

"Compared to Shi Pokong, I don't really hate you that much, it's just... never mind, blame it on your own blindness..." He looked at Shi Chuankong's face, his eyes not filled with sarcasm, but rather with a hint of sorrow.

With that, he suddenly swung the long blade in his hand, about to slash down on Shi Chuankong's head.

Shi Chuankong on the ground seemed to have given up resisting, a helpless smile on his face. His tightly clenched left hand suddenly opened, revealing a blood-stained leaf-shaped jade pendant.

It was the seal given to him by the Third Prince!

The seal was stained with his blood essence and seemed to have been activated. Fine veins on the surface lit up one after another, radiating a dazzling light.

"This is..."

Shi Zhanfeng cried out in surprise at the sight, and retreated violently, not caring about killing Shi Chuankong.

Han Li watched from afar and saw the air near Shi Chuankong suddenly contract, condensing around him. Then, a round of white sun rose up.

"Rumble..."

A violent explosion sounded, and the blazing sun instantly transformed into a cloud that shot into the sky, blasting into the hundred-zhang high altitude.

The entire White Stone Plaza was enveloped in a dazzling white light, blinding people.

A circle of violent airwaves surged in all directions, instantly lifting up large areas of stone slabs from the ground, spreading out like a sandstorm.

Han Li stood on the high tower, and a scorching heat rolled towards him, making his face tingle and his eyes almost unable to open. He only felt the stone tower beneath him tremble violently, and dust fell "rustling", as if it would collapse at any moment.

This astonishing momentum lasted for more than ten breaths before gradually subsiding and becoming stable.

The outer skin of the stone tower seemed to have undergone severe decay, weathering and peeling off a thick layer from the outside, becoming even thinner.

Han Li supported the obviously thinned window sill, his brows furrowed into a knot, and he looked at the White Stone Plaza with a gloomy expression.

However, it had already become empty, leaving only a large pit that was more than ten zhang deep and a hundred zhang in diameter. The original stone pavement and the walls of the palace had all turned into ashes and disappeared.

In the center of the pit lay a tattered figure covered in black blood, motionless, and its life or death was unknown.

Just then, the person's chest suddenly heaved violently, as if coughing violently, and they actually woke up.

The matted hair on their head shook off to the side, revealing a face covered in blood and dirt, it was Shi Chuankong.

For some reason, after using the seal given by Shi Pokong, he was not only not teleported back to the Demon Domain, but instead suffered such a heavy blow.

Shi Chuankong struggled to sit up, but as soon as his body moved, a heart-wrenching pain surged from all parts of his body, causing him to let out a suppressed, painful groan.

"Under the power of the Burst Void Realm Talisman, you are still alive, this is simply a fantasy..." At this moment, Shi Zhanfeng walked slowly to the edge of the pit with Du Yuan, applauding and praising.

Half of the clothes on his body were already torn, and even the inner armor he was wearing inside was mostly shattered. The flesh on his right arm and shoulder was a bloody mess, and the white bones were exposed in many places.

When Han Li heard the words "Burst Void Realm Talisman", his brow couldn't help but jump, and the action of stroking the leaf-shaped seal in his hand came to an abrupt stop. A hint of gloom flashed in his eyes.

If he had really used this talisman when crossing the Black Abyss and the space storm to enter the Great Ruins, then most of the people in Xuan Wei and the two cities should have already died.

Shi Chuankong, lying in the center of the pit, ignored the Great Prince's words, and continued to struggle to sit up.

However, he was almost completely unable to move, only his neck could still twist with effort, causing his body to shake constantly, shaking off some of the charred marks covering his body.

However, as the blood, dirt, and ash from his clothes and bone armor fell, a patch of snow-white luster was revealed beneath the charred marks, it was wrapped in a layer of extremely thin white gauze clothing.

"This is... the Star Fox Feather Garment? No wonder you were able to survive in such a powerful explosion, it turns out that you have this treasure to protect you. Back then, everyone thought that your vixen mother favored Shi Pokong and would leave this personal treasure to him, but unexpectedly she passed it on to you." Shi Zhanfeng clicked his tongue in wonder, sneering.

Hearing this, Shi Chuankong's mind conjured up the gentle and beautiful woman who always had a warm smile on her face, recalling her always softly calling his and his third brother's names, recalling the way she had left the feather garment to him before her death.

That gentle fox woman never said a word of complaint until her death, only hoping that the two brothers could take care of each other and survive well in this dangerous world.

"Third Brother, is this 'Burst Void Realm Talisman' really your work?"

Shi Chuankong slowly closed his eyes, and a crystal tear quietly slid down the corner of his eye.

"Roar..."

Just then, a beast roar suddenly sounded.

On the half-slope of the pit, a cloud of dust suddenly flew up, and the demonic ape burst out of it, rushing towards Shi Zhanfeng and the other two unscathed.

"Deal with it!" A trace of disgust flashed in Shi Zhanfeng's eyes, and he said softly.

Du Yuan and the petite woman flashed out at the same time, meeting the demonic ape from the left and right, fighting with it and heading to the side.

At this time, Shi Zhanfeng slowly walked into the bottom of the pit and came to Shi Chuankong's side, squatting down.

He casually tore at the Star Fox Feather Garment wrapping around Shi Chuankong's body, and it flowed away like smoke and disappeared.

"Alas, it's ruined, what a pity..." he sighed softly, and said.

With that, his eyes turned to Shi Chuankong, a look of sorrow flowing in his eyes. He held the war blade in one hand, and pointed the tip of the blade at Shi Chuankong's chest.

"Brother, what do you think of my third brother?" At this moment, Shi Chuankong suddenly opened his eyes, the expression in his eyes had returned to normal, and asked a seemingly inexplicable question.

Hearing this, Shi Zhanfeng actually frowned slightly and thought for a moment, then said seriously: "He... I have never been able to see through him."

"It is said that the person who knows you best is always your enemy... Even you, brother, can't see through my third brother, it seems that I have always been too narrow-minded." Shi Chuankong sighed softly, and said.

"Alright, it's time to send you on your way." Shi Zhanfeng didn't figure out what Shi Chuankong meant for a while, and said slowly.

Shi Chuankong smiled slightly and closed his eyes again.

Shi Zhanfeng's eyes narrowed, dispelling the sadness that had arisen in his heart for some reason. He slightly twisted his wrist, about to thrust down into Shi Chuankong's heart.
