Overbearing Immortal Doctor Chapter 1330 - 1429: Taking the Initiative

Although his Spiritual Power was clearly far superior to Pei Hongqing’s, Qin Feng found his own strength reduced to approximately 70% in an instant.

"You insolent brat, daring to suppress my strength! I will kill you too!"

A deep roar echoed as Xie Zhenshan immediately unleashed his full power once more. His intent was to swiftly eliminate Qin Feng and then experience the agony of a soul being torn apart.

"Bring it on!"

Facing this formidable assault, Qin Feng, in a daze, shook his head vigorously.

"Boom!"

A dull thud of a fist striking flesh was heard. While Xie Zhenshan had initially charged forward with aggression, he was subsequently driven back, much to the astonishment of the onlookers. Even though Qin Feng appeared to be struggling, the outcome left everyone present bewildered.

Moments ago, this young man seemed incapable of mounting a defense. How could his fist possess such immense power? It was strong enough to contend with Xie Zhenshan!

"Hahaha, no more, let’s go again!" Qin Feng suddenly let out a laugh. This time, he initiated the attack.

"Bam-bam-bam"

A series of terrifying muffled sounds erupted, akin to a relentless storm. With each impact, even a stream of blood was forced out from the shadows.

"Boom!"

Following a fierce exchange, both Qin Feng and Xie Zhenshan were sent staggering backward. Qin Feng’s hair was disheveled, and his body flickered with a vibrant, multi-colored light. On the other hand, Xie Zhenshan was clearly in agony. His left eye had been struck so severely that it resembled a panda’s eye, marked with at least twenty bleeding wounds.

"Damn you! Not only are you suppressing my cultivation with Spiritual Power, but you're also fighting me with sheer physical defense!" Xie Zhenshan bellowed. He felt utterly defeated. Despite both of them sustaining injuries, the fact that Qin Feng emerged practically unscathed completely shattered his arrogance. Xie Zhenshan had never anticipated Qin Feng’s physical resilience to be so formidable. Throughout their intense battle, Qin Feng had barely taken a scratch!

"Physical force, combined with Spiritual Power, is also power. If I falter, the Western Fu Wen Sect’s esteemed Elder will find a reason to disavow me. Truly impolite," Qin Feng sneered with disdain.

"I will see you dead now!" Xie Zhenshan roared, charging towards the spot where he had been previously knocked down.

Observing Xie Zhenshan’s charge, Qin Feng didn't hesitate, instead heading directly for the long sword.

"Using my son’s sword against me, you scoundrel!" Xie Zhenshan glared venomously at Qin Feng. "I shall let you perish under the supreme technique I have recently mastered. Consider it a bargain for you!"

Abruptly, a dazzling azure light erupted from Xie Zhenshan’s entire body. His physique, combat techniques, raw strength, and reaction speed all amplified several times over in an instant. Concurrently, the curved sword wielded by Qin Feng traced a rather peculiar trajectory through the air.

This particular Martial Art was nowhere near as mystifying as Qin Feng’s swordsmanship, and in fact, was far inferior. However, Xie Zhenshan managed to exploit its core essence to its fullest capacity.

"Bang Bang"

Qin Feng could only withstand two direct clashes before being repelled by Xie Zhenshan’s overwhelming might. Simultaneously, he felt a powerful gust of wind surge towards him with alarming speed.

"You believe you can gain an advantage in close combat? How naive! With this Holy Level skill, what resistance can you possibly muster?" Xie Zhenshan gazed at Qin Feng with smug satisfaction. "This time, you cannot escape any longer!"

"Am I running away?" Qin Feng suddenly stood upright and looked down, only to be surprised by the numerous openings that appeared on his long sword.

Xie Xuan’s long sword was no longer an ordinary blade; it was battered and worn, a testament to the ferocity of their prolonged confrontation. Of course, the long sword that Xie Zhenshan had gifted his son was of a far superior make than his own.

"Hmm, you intend to abandon superior close-quarters combat to engage me? This is your downfall!"

"Idiot, who told you that my strongest point is close combat?" Qin Feng was truly exasperated by Xie Zhenshan’s overconfidence and immediately retorted, "Let me show you what true swordsmanship entails."

As he uttered these words, Qin Feng’s presence seemed to envelop his entire being.

"Star Origin Sword Domain!"

This time, he resolved not to be careless. He was in his optimal state. A dazzling flash of gold enveloped Qin Feng, transforming him into a meteor hurtling towards Xie Zhenshan.

"I will show you how foolish you are! The pinnacle skill of the Holy Level is the Cen Blade Skill!" Xie Zhenshan’s body also entered a state of trance. At the same moment, the sinuous Dao in his hand struck towards Qin Feng with the speed of streaking light.

This encounter pitted two immense powers directly against each other. For a fleeting moment, the entire hall was filled with the clashing sounds of swords and blades, unleashing havoc upon the Qi Country.

For a period, Qin Feng maintained the upper hand.

Although Xie Zhenshan’s raw power surpassed Pei Hongqing’s, it wasn't enough to compensate entirely. The primary reason was that Xie Zhenshan's Spiritual Power was more potent, managing to suppress only 30% of Qin Feng's abilities.

To suppress Pei Hongqing by 60% and Xie Zhenshan by only 30% – the disparity was immense. Even after unleashing his Spiritual Attack, Qin Feng did not gain a decisive advantage. Had it not been for his self-preservation, he would have suffered grievous injuries.

However, to the shock of the countless onlookers of this battle, Lao was astonished. After all, Qin Feng appeared far too young, seeming to be under twenty years old. It was an absolutely astonishing feat for such a youth to have slain a true Origin Level 6 expert and capable of contending against the strongest man in Residual Red City, Xie Zhenshan.

At this juncture, the tide of the battlefield finally shifted. An explosion suddenly resounded, 'Bang!' Xie Zhenshan, who had been relentlessly attacking, was finally repelled by Qin Feng’s surging Sword Power.

'Pu!' The instant Xie Zhenshan was forced back, Qin Feng’s heart finally found some relief. He viciously spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his severe disadvantages and blade injuries having already pushed him to his limits.

“Beaten so badly by me, and you still can’t do anything?” Xie Zhenshan sneered coldly.

“Hmph,” Qin Feng scoffed, “I nearly killed all of you, yet you still couldn’t defeat me. You have the audacity to boast about your strength? I’m embarrassed for you!”

“Are you forcing me to kill you now?” Xie Zhenshan’s face abruptly turned glacial. It was evident his strength far surpassed Qin Feng’s. At this stage, Qin Feng should have been begging for mercy; at least, that’s what Xie Zhenshan presumed. Yet, Qin Feng not only refused to plead but further humiliated him.

“Let’s see you try!” Qin Feng completely disregarded Xie Zhenshan’s burgeoning rage.

With a 'huff,' his Spiritual Power surged, and Xie Zhenshan’s expression grew stern. “Honestly, I initially intended for your death to be worse than torture today. But now, I’ve reconsidered; you may die.” Xie Zhenshan flashed a hideous grin, and his curved Dao, held in his hand, suddenly shrieked, transforming instantly into a Lan Yueliang. The fearsome Dao seemed alive, tracing a mystical arc as it lunged towards Qin Feng. A sonic wave, tearing through the atmosphere, enveloped the entire space around Qin Feng, leaving him with no escape!

“The most potent move from my Holy Level Skill!”

Perfect Blade.

While Qin Feng had managed to vaguely counter Xie Zhenshan’s swordsmanship by observing the Horse Road, the exquisite nature of this particular swordsmanship far exceeded Qin Feng’s current understanding. Qin Feng could grasp the essence of the horse saber technique, but he found himself unable to evade it.

Xie Zhenshan had only cultivated this particular Holy Level skill set but had not achieved complete mastery. Nonetheless, this horse saber strike felt like a devastating assault unleashed by a seasoned veteran with years of dedicated practice.

This was the ultimate technique. Despite Qin Feng having mentally prepared himself, facing it directly at this life-or-death moment placed an immense test upon him, even causing Qin Feng’s expression to falter.

“I never imagined I’d resort to using a trick like this against a mere nobody like you!”

In that instant, Qin Feng’s entire demeanor transformed, as if an ancient deity had descended into the mortal realm, a breath of sheer destruction emanating from his body.

Simultaneously, the sword in his hand floated in mid-air, its movements alternating between rapid and slow, appearing as though it were about to depart, leaving the surrounding Void in a state of unreality.
