Seeing Zero seize Xiao Yefeng's longsword, Virgo Palace Master was filled with delight. He had long been curious about this sword from Atlantis, and now that it was in Zero's possession, he naturally wanted to study it. Just as Virgo Palace Master was about to speak, a shocking scene unfolded before him; in an instant, both Xiao Yefeng and he were taken aback.
Holding the sword with one hand, Zero glanced at the weapon that had lost its magical power and reverted to a normal state. Anger flickered in his eyes. Suddenly, Deathfire Flame wrapped around him, and he forcefully threw the sword to the ground. With a single step, he stomped down, and with a crack, the already cracked Mechanical Longsword shattered completely. Mechanical parts flew in all directions from the broken blade, and Zero, having done all this, seemed quite pleased.
Witnessing this, Virgo Palace Master furrowed his brow as if realizing something. He immediately began jotting down notes. Meanwhile, Xiao Yefeng swallowed hard; truth be told, he could also crush a Mechanical Longsword with a kick, but it was not so simple to achieve. What kind of monster was this lifeless Zero?
Without the advantage of the longsword, Xiao Yefeng had to resort to other means. He reached into his backpack and pulled out a handful of Yellow Talismans. Although there was no Qi present here, having a weapon in hand was better than nothing; at worst, he could use his internal energy for support.
Xiao Yefeng's actions caught Zero's attention once again. In Zero's mind, it was the sword that had just injured him; however, this person before him also seemed to be involved. The "culprit" had been crushed underfoot by him, but this accomplice also needed to die!
With that thought in mind, Zero stomped his feet on the ground, causing thick rock to crack like spiderwebs. The deathly aura surrounding him left an afterimage as he moved. At that moment, Xiao Yefeng was alarmed; before he could even throw out the talisman, he was violently slammed into by Zero, who charged at him shoulder-first instead of using Deathfire Flame.
With a loud crash, Xiao Yefeng slammed against the steel door behind him. The solidly forged door dented upon impact. After that single blow, Xiao Yefeng felt as if his ribs might shatter. Fortunately, the Starry Body Forging Technique had already transformed his bones into Symbol Bone. In that moment of impact, he abandoned any thought of retaliation and poured all his energy into his ribs. His chest bones shimmered with starlight as a Spirit Talisman manifested, saving him from the risk of having his bones crushed.
Watching his accomplice being sent flying by his charge, Zero turned confidently away. Although he lacked intelligence, he recalled that no one had ever been able to move after being struck by him like that—not even his master!
Thus, Zero turned toward Consort Mi, who leaned against the other side of the door. Under his master's orders, this person must be brought back. Meanwhile, seeing Xiao Yefeng being knocked away and observing Zero approach Consort Mi, Virgo Palace Master nodded and then shook his head while muttering to himself: "Indeed, without various enhancements from Gene Serum, Xiao Yefeng is no match for Zero. But that's alright; soon you will replace both Zero and Consort Mi!"
"What potion should I use first? Should I start with the Soul-Confounding Potion? It seems there might be an issue with it; Zero appears to have developed independent emotions—this must be erased!" As Virgo Palace Master continued recording notes, suddenly a flurry of falling Yellow Talismans rained down. As he walked toward Consort Mi, Zero felt as if his feet were weighed down by hundreds of tons and could barely lift them.
"Hmm?" Seeing this scene made Virgo Palace Master exclaim softly in confusion: "It really isn't that simple; I almost forgot—you are still a Geomancer!"
With great difficulty turning his head, Zero saw Xiao Yefeng, leaning against the wall with one hand forming seals while chanting a spell. He found it strange that this person could still move—why hadn’t he died yet?
“Bagua Mirror-Dui Method-Great Dazawa Step”
At this moment, a Bagua Mirror that had been kept close to Xiao Yefeng floated above his head. One corner of the Bagua Mirror, representing Duiwei, shone with brilliant golden light. The symbols raining down, manipulated by Xiao Yefeng's Spirit, fell to the ground and formed a standard Bagua Diagram.
In the Bagua Diagram, Duiwei represents marsh, which signifies the limitations within the earth. It is the only direction in the Bagua that restricts abilities. This was also a result of Xiao Yefeng combining the teachings of his ancestors from the Xiao Family with the offensive techniques refined from the Bagua Mirror.
“Indeed! The Feng Shui Techniques of Huaxia truly have their own system. It seems that Zero cannot compare to a wise and powerful warrior after all. Very well, I shall face you!” The Virgo Palace Master, seated comfortably, continuously gestured with his fingers before pressing both hands down on the table in front of him, clearly entering a focused state.
At that moment, Zero, who had only known brute force to break free from the bindings of Qi, suddenly froze. After glancing at Xiao Yefeng, a rare smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Instantly, a wave of deathly energy surged from within him, causing the Yellow Talisman clinging to the ground and to him to burn as if scorched by flames. The Yellow Talisman Paper turned into charred ash, and in an instant, the effect of the Great Dazawa Step vanished.
Seeing that the Great Dazawa Step had been broken, Xiao Yefeng's expression darkened. He hadn't expected Zero to find a way to counter it so quickly. Since it had been dispelled, there was no way to restore it. He quickly raised several talismans and dodged swiftly as a fist engulfed in rolling Deathfire Flame came crashing toward him. Just when he thought he could evade this punch, an unexpected turn of events occurred.
Although Zero's attack was powerful, it was straightforward. This time, when his punch missed, the deathly energy transformed into a beastly form and counterattacked towards Xiao Yefeng. Caught off guard for an instant, Xiao Yefeng was struck by the Deathfire Flame, leaving a strange claw mark on his back—a paw print resembling that of a four-legged beast. However, under the influence of this deathly energy, Xiao Yefeng's skin was rapidly corroded.
Despite how terrifying this wound appeared, no blood flowed from it because this unknown Deathfire Flame absorbed any blood before it could escape. Fortunately, Xiao Yefeng's body was quite sturdy; his protective Carefree Righteousness reacted instantly upon injury and repelled the flames, though it became entangled with the deathly energy.
Feeling the injury on his back, Xiao Yefeng realized something was wrong. He formed a sword gesture with his hand and touched his eyes; instantly, the four-colored Observer's Eye—golden, azure, black, and white—activated. In that moment, he understood his mistake; this was not merely deathly energy but rather a swarm of invisible black insects. No wonder he couldn't sense their properties; they were living creatures in their own right.
At this moment, insects were crawling over the wound on Xiao Yefeng's back, battling against his internal Carefree Righteousness. It made sense why he couldn't kill these insects before; they fed on Qi. As they fought against his protective energy, he saw his own protective Qi being continuously devoured by these insects, which were also multiplying rapidly after consuming it.
The newly born insects began to feed again; no wonder those on the Mechanical Longsword had been impossible to eliminate at first. However, now that he understood the situation, Xiao Yefeng thought of a solution: since they were insects, there must be natural enemies to them.
Stepping forward confidently, he flipped his sleeve and produced a Vermilion Talisman. Immediately, he declared: “Bagua Mirror-Li Character Decision-Candlefire Ignition!
With a flick of his wrist, the Yellow Talisman ignited. In an instant, the ground was engulfed in flames as the Yellow Talisman Paper caught fire, and the falling Yellow Talismans added to the inferno at the entrance.
"What good is setting a fire?" thought the Virgo Palace Master, who controlled Zero. But soon he understood Xiao Yefeng's intention. The swarm of flying insects behind Xiao Yefeng began to fall, powerless against the flames like mosquitoes caught in incense. Most critically, the insects that had been entwined around Zero were also starting to perish. Although these insects would sacrifice themselves to give birth to a new one, they could not keep up with the speed of death amidst the flames.
"Roar!" Zero couldn't speak, but at that moment, Virgo Palace Master was furious. Those flying insects were weapons birthed from Zero itself, possessing the Immortal Insect Gene. Without them, the Immortal Insect Gene had little strength left. Who could have anticipated that Xiao Yefeng's fire would annihilate all the insects? While it was true that as long as Zero lived, those insects could eventually be restored, it took years for Zero to cultivate them.
"Without those insects, let's see what other tricks you have!" With a kick against the incoming punch from Zero, Xiao Yefeng channeled his spiritual energy and sent Zero flying for the first time. Just like before, Zero crashed into the wall, leaving a deeper dent in the thick steel than before. Without the interference of those insects, Xiao Yefeng was no longer afraid of Zero.
"Roar!" Anger surged within both Zero and Virgo Palace Master. The once unstoppable Spirit-Eating Insects had been countered by Xiao Yefeng's candlelight flames. Without Spirit-Eating Insects, Zero was nothing more than an indestructible punching bag. Even Virgo Palace Master hadn’t anticipated this outcome; the existence of Spirit-Eating Insects had always been a secret. Everyone attacked by Zero had perished, and Virgo Palace Master knew well that fire could combat these Spirit-Eating Insects since he had tested it multiple times.
However, he had experimented with flames from Ability users, ordinary fire, and even magma, yet Spirit-Eating Insects survived all those flames. Thus, Virgo Palace Master believed they were invincible until he realized that Xiao Yefeng's flames had directly killed all the Spirit-Eating Insects, causing a sudden shift in what had been a one-sided battle—a reversal of fortune.
At that moment, Xiao Yefeng glanced at Virgo Palace Master seated on high and noticed he had no intention of ambushing him. Finally seizing his chance for a counterattack, Xiao Yefeng recognized that with Zero stripped of its Spirit-Eating Insect abilities and facing his assault, even Virgo Palace Master could not retaliate through this body that did not belong to him. Thus began a performance time for Xiao Yefeng.
