Chapter 471: The Death of Moyan
Gleaming white armor covered Li Feng's body, and an exquisitely carved dragon's head formed the chestpiece of that armor. A ray of light shone down on Li Feng, making him look like a god of light.
"How can you still be alive?! How, how?! I took such serious injuries, and yet, you—!" Moyan couldn't accept this reality. There was no way Li Feng could still be alive!
"I still have a few trump cards up my sleeve, you see—my peak-grade lightcrest dragon armor, my disaster-grade genetic armor, and so on and so forth."
While hunting for peak gene fragments with the rest of Team Zenith, they had once encountered a dragon with overwhelming defensive capabilities, a peak-grade lightcrest dragon king. From that battle, Li Feng had obtained its armor.
The armor boasted an impressive ability: to unconditionally negate the effects of one attack. It was an unimaginable boon in an emergency.
The disaster-grade genetic armor was even more extraordinary—it had been forged during the advancement process from the first to the second realm with the disaster-grade genetic material that Zhang Lie had given the members of Team Zenith. Upon wearing that armor, their defense and speed would increase dramatically, multiplying their combat efficiency.
Moyan panicked as he stumbled back. "Hold on, hold on! There's no need for us to kill each other. We can still have a pleasant conversation—"
"Have a pleasant conversation with your brothers in hell!"
Li Feng didn't want to waste any more time on him.
"[Daybreak]!" He thrust forward with his sword, and a white dragon morphed into a beam of light that cut Moyan apart.

When the human hunters saw Li Feng still standing, they all cheered. Their greatest foe had perished, and Renhuang had won an overwhelming victory in this battle! Without the sura king around, Li Feng and his troops were able to deal with the remaining sura with ease.
In another part of the second realm, Zhou Ying and her forces had successfully found Fenghe's camp. They invaded and began to attack immediately, with such strength and cohesion that they quickly took the upper hand over Fenghe's creatures.
One of the rock spirits laughed as he yelled out, "These creatures might look scary, but they're really weak!"
"Don't get complacent," Zhou Ying reminded the rock spirit.
The party quickly made their way up to Fenghe, but he didn't seem to be panicking. He folded his arms as he waited for them to approach, smirking all along.
Zhou Ying frowned and called for a halt. "Be careful—I think there's a trap!"
Fenghe's lips parted to reveal his teeth. It was rare that he had an opportunity to catch any prey, and he had no intention of letting these humans escape. "Isn't it too late to want to flee now?"
Fenghe snapped his fingers, causing the ground to crack as Zhou Ying and her forces fell into a gigantic pit.
Fenghe spread his arms. "Welcome to my arena."
The pit was at least a few hundred meters deep, and the top of the pit was closely guarded by Fenghe and a few of the strongest of his creations. It wouldn't be easy for Zhou Ying and her troops to get out.
"In that case, you intentionally sacrificed your weakest forces to get us to fall into this trap?"
"Indeed, indeed! You're very smart. If you're willing to give up on your useless resistance, we can both save some time."
"No member of Team Zenith would ever surrender to the likes of you!"
"What a pity." With another snap of his fingers, Fenghe broke three walls of the pit, revealing three monstrous lifeforms, each a human centipede composed of over fifty humans.
What was most frightening about them wasn't the number of humans incorporated into their bodies, but rather the fact that their genetic energies had completely merged with each other. They gave off an unbelievably frightening aura.
Fenghe bowed as he introduced his creations. "Guests, permit me to start with our first contestants, three human centipedes. They were a beloved creation of mine, and I hope you'll like them as much as I do."
The three human centipedes barreled toward the human forces like three derailed trains, moving with a speed that belied their size. They smashed a rock spirit who was unable to dodge in time against the pit wall, crushing its body.
Zhou Ying frowned at the damage. The rock spirits had handled the lifeforms leading up to Fenghe's camp with ease, downing each one with just a single blow. Against these human centipedes, however, the rock spirits didn't seem able to do anything.
The rocks that had cracked off the rock spirit's body quickly regenerated as the rock spirit stood up once again. "I'm ready for action again, troop leader!"
Fenghe rubbed at his jaw. "Curious. A lifeform whose body isn't made of flesh and bone, one who can even regenerate… If I'm not mistaken, you must be the rock spirits that my godfather once made a note of! A nomadic tribe that once used to rule the second realm, but which has vanished for a millennium—I can't believe there's your kind in Renhuang! I truly want to dissect you and examine how your body works."
Fenghe's eyes shone with greed and desire, causing the rock spirit to shiver in disgust.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"I wonder what sort of lifeforms I can make with a rock spirit's core?" Fenghe murmured to himself.
The rock spirit shuddered as it looked at the three human centipedes, as well as the chimera standing beside Fenghe. "Even if I have to kill myself, I won't become one of your toys."
Fenghe shook his head. "That isn't something you'll be able to control. Centipedes, attack!"
The three human centipedes rushed toward Zhou Ying.
"[Avatar of the Fae: Dance of the Earth Dragon]!" Three jade-green dragons darted out of Zhou Ying's hands, twining around the three human centipedes and halting their motion. Zhou Ying darted up a wood dragon's body and thrust her dagger into the first human centipede, then agilely leapt over to another one and did the same, before finally repeating the same action again for the third centipede.
Fenghe frowned, not knowing the purpose of Zhou Ying's actions. Stabbing each human centipede just once with a short dagger wasn't going to harm any of them at all.
What Fenghe didn't notice was that the blood that seeped out from Zhou Ying's dagger wound was black. The toxins in the wound quickly spread throughout each human centipede's body, causing them to shake and thrash uncontrollably.
Even the wood dragons were unable to hold them down, but the human centipedes didn't seem to have any intention of attacking the humans even after breaking free of their constraints. They simply flailed and floundered in place, as though they were in great pain.
Fenghe continued to frown as he observed what was going on.
To his surprise, he had lost all control over those centipedes.
"Attack him!" Zhou Ying pointed at Fenghe at the top of the pit, and the human centipedes began to rush out in an attempt to attack him.
Fenghe smiled calmly. "Very curious indeed. Is this a special toxin that gives you control over my creatures?"
