A Cunning Pervert in the Cultivation World Chapter 337: The Wrath of a Star.
Previously on A Cunning Pervert in the Cultivation World...
Yan Moxuan's face remained utterly unchanged after snuffing out the life of this woman who mattered so much to Li Feng... as though he'd just squashed a worthless bug underfoot.
Yet he wasn't finished; leisurely, he drew his hand, soaked in gore, from Yue Lan's chest.
Crimson blood, thick and viscous, trickled along his fingers before plummeting in heavy, deliberate drops to the ground.
Yue Lan's form turned utterly slack.
Her head lolled faintly aside, devoid of life... resembling a shattered, abandoned puppet.
"...As per the deal."
His hand extended to seize the bizarre hovering globe of light.
Viewed nearby, it throbbed oddly, resembling a beating heart forged from sheer brilliance.
A faint writhing stirred within, as though resisting... or biding its time.
He thrust the glowing orb directly into Yue Lan's lifeless shell without a second thought.
Upon touching, the radiance started dissolving into her flesh.
Then—
Darkness descended from overhead.
That identical black, sticky ooze spreading over the battlefield now cascaded like relentless downpour onto her remains.
No splatter occurred on impact.
Rather, it adhered like a living entity.
It enveloped her arms... her body... her features... in successive layers... deliberately, as if devouring her.
Or maybe... possessing her.
Once it had fully encased her form, the dark ooze gradually hoisted Yue Lan's corpse skyward, bearing it aloft to an unknown destination.
Li Feng's pupils contracted in shock at the sight.
His gut screamed a warning deep within... he mustn't allow that black sludge to carry Yue Lan off.
A pleased smile curved Yan Moxuan's lips seeing Li Feng's distress.
Arms flung open wide, he flashed a grin his way.
"Li Feng, I have done you a great favor... so now you can become truly strong."
"You...!"
Li Feng's visage darkened to pure ebony fury.
A ferocious killing intent burst from him like a raging tempest.
He attempted to lunge—
Yet his frame... wouldn't respond.
His gaze dropped to behold the black fluid squirming eagerly about him, gripping fiercer than before.
"Get... OFF!!"
His presence flared anew.
Silver radiance exploded wildly as the two hundred stars in his core ignited, blazing like a dying cosmos.
Still, the black fluid held firm.
In response, it surged with wild desperation, constricting him even more snugly.
Laughter from Yan Moxuan echoed over the ruined field of battle.
"Hahaha! Li Feng. Forget about the woman! You should focus on me."
Hunger for combat gleamed brighter in his scarlet gaze.
The disgrace of perishing pathetically under Li Feng's strike lingered in his memory.
This day, he'd cleanse that dishonor in rivers of blood.
Yan Moxuan went utterly dismissed by Li Feng.
Raw force hammered repeatedly into the clinging black sludge.
Far from shattering, it bound firmer, adhesive-like.
No... akin to a leech.
Struggles only made it wind tighter around his arms and legs, refusing release even unto death.
"Dammit!!"
Urgency hammered in his chest.
His vision scanned the chaos: Yan Moxuan advancing with a taunting smirk, wounded disciples sprawled defenselessly, Yue Lan's corpse ascending ever higher like a mocking prize.
His jaws ground until they threatened to shatter.
Frustration.
Rage.
Helplessness.
These emotions boiled into one until at last...
’Do I really have to use it...?’
His ultimate hidden ace.
No alternatives appeared now.
Embracing the Rule of the Stars alone could reverse the tide.
Resolve sparked in his stare, then froze to glacial chill.
Far off, Yan Moxuan abruptly tensed.
"...!"
His senses blared peril.
Leaping back instantly, he created space between them.
"What..."
His entire form shrieked alerts... dread was poised to crash down.
Li Feng dipped his chin, murmuring in icy tones.
"Age of the—"
[...Wait!.. Don’t use it!]
Li Feng halted as a faint, fragile... unknown feminine voice resounded straight in his thoughts.
Eyes bulging, the technique paused on activation's brink.
For an instant, time hung suspended.
Ere he could ponder, the voice returned, now sharper and more desperate.
[...He... is... watching you! Don’t use it yet!]
Those words made Li Feng's pulse falter.
’Watching...?’
Ice crawled along his back.
Not from the fray... nor Yan Moxuan.
From something vastly remote... immensely more horrifying.
Unbidden, his sight rose heavenward.
But abruptly—
A subtle, barely audible noise sounded over Li Feng's crown.
Yan Moxuan's gaze twitched,
Confusion furrowed his brow upon identifying the item.
"...A brick?"
Right in the following moment, the "brick" disappeared.
No—it accelerated so rapidly that it blurred into nothingness.
Resembling a shooting meteor, it hurtled directly at the black liquid strands suspending Yue Lan’s corpse high in the air.
It smashed right through them without resistance.
Astonishingly, unlike the dense mass binding Li Feng, those strands holding the corpse were slender and weak.
Under the Divine Brick's immense power, they fragmented like brittle glass.
The slender black liquid exploded outward, releasing its hold completely.
Released from the grasp, Yue Lan’s corpse started plummeting downward.
Yet the very next instant, the black liquid flew into a rage.
Acting like a ravenous parasite, it rushed upward madly, eager to recapture its prize.
Just as it nearly swallowed her once more—
The Divine Brick swooped in, seizing her mid-fall and whisking the corpse away while racing across the battlefield.
For a split second, it hovered high overhead, trying to pull her body into its inner storage space.
"~?"
...A puzzled ripple emanated from it upon discovering the corpse couldn't be stored.
Immediately after—
The black liquid exploded in fury.
It churned and writhed savagely, with innumerable sharp tendrils erupting from the earth like ravenous lances, lunging at the sky hungrily.
However, the Divine Brick acted like a ghostly shadow.
With horrifying speed, it evaded every thrust by zigzagging, spiraling, and flickering out of sight.
The black liquid burst forth once again.
This time, its assault wasn't limited to upward strikes.
It divided.
Dozens—hundreds of needle-like tendrils exploded from the ground, forming an expanding dome that blocked all skyward paths of retreat.
Mid-flight, they coiled and targeted the Divine Brick’s path with lethal accuracy, like stalking predators.
Then they clamped together fiercely.
Every collision blasted the air apart, with black fluid detonating outward in thunderous bursts.
Still, the Divine Brick never faltered even slightly.
It threaded through the spaces amid the blasts, navigating the devastation with flawless accuracy.
One instant it was visible, the next gone, then dozens of meters distant, then overhead, then circling behind.
The Divine Brick zipped, dodged, and spun like an impossible-to-touch gnat, thundering through the mayhem.
Each assault fell short by the tiniest margin.
No matter the ferocity of the barrage... it remained utterly uncatchable.
Li Feng’s eyes gleamed at the spectacle.
"Nice!"
A sigh of relief slipped from his mouth as he understood he had an ally in this battle.
But that ease endured only briefly.
His stare intensified while observing the Divine Brick frantically maneuvering through the sky, narrowly escaping the black liquid's unyielding chase.
Continuing like this... it wouldn't hold out much longer.
His face hardened as he glanced down at the sticky mass still trapping him.
With a brief chance to breathe amid the chaos closing in... an idea sparked in his thoughts.
Silvery starlight gathered around his arm, whirling and solidifying as he readied Falling Star Fist.
But this time, he held it back.
He squeezed it down.
And squeezed further.
Deeper... and denser.
Forcing the raging energy inward in a tight pack, confining the bursting force to one pinpoint.
The nearby space quivered subtly, buckling under the mounting silent strain.
He drove it to the extreme—past the extreme!
Until—
[Ding!]
[An innate ability "Star Impact" has been learned!]
Ignoring the details, Li Feng smirked icily and unleashed it.
"Star Impact!!"
Upon release, space appeared to crumple inward.
Not an explosive outward blast like earlier...
...but an implosion into one point of total destruction.
A dazzling orb of squeezed starlight erupted from his fist.
For a heartbeat, silence reigned.
Just a quiet warp... as if the world had lost its rules.
Then—
The black liquid holding him disintegrated.
Not repelled or scattered... but utterly obliterated, erased from existence by stellar fury.
A flawless round emptiness encircled Li Feng as the earth below pulverized into powder, swirling away like a galaxy's fading debris.
And still—
Rather than aiding the Divine Brick...
Li Feng’s form blinked out.
A silver trail ripped across the void.
The next moment, he materialized right before Yan Moxuan.
His tone and gaze were frozen solid.
"...I need to make sure you’re dead first."
Yan Moxuan’s eyes bulged in horror at the abrupt change.
All of it unfolded in a flash.
He attempted to evade.
...Too late already.
Li Feng’s fist loomed there, mere inches from his face.
Jaw set tight, Li Feng channeled all his might into that one blow.
"Star Impact!!"
A searing silver lightning bolt flared on contact as the strike connected, engulfing Yan Moxuan in raw, intense starlight.
