Immortal God of War-Chapter 685 - 652: Battle for the Summit (2)_1

Qin Feiyang waved his hand and said, "Something’s odd, halt!"

The eight small boats immediately stopped. At this point, they were only fifty or sixty meters away from the hundred-meter zone.

Lu Xingchen frowned and said, "The shore is within sight; any sane person wouldn’t stop here. Unless there are other factors. However, we can’t see their expressions, making it hard to judge."

"I can’t stand it anymore... I’d rather die..."

Suddenly, a man from Kun Province shrieked mournfully, turned around abruptly, and his body exploded, his fate sealed. The moment he turned, Qin Feiyang and the others caught his expression: a contorted face, brimming with pain; blood-red eyes, filled with despair!

Ren Wushuang asked, "Could it be an illusion?"

Zhao Yu replied, "It probably isn’t. On our way here, we could encounter illusions at any time, and it must have been the same for them. Yet they managed to arrive here alive, which shows their willpower isn’t weak. How could they be misled by an illusion at this final step?"

ROAR!!!

The Blood Puppet behind them was gradually drawing nearer.

Qin Feiyang said, "We can’t delay any longer. No matter what lies ahead, we have to move forward."

But before he could finish speaking, a ferocious voice suddenly boomed, "A mere illusion dares to hinder me!"

The one who roared was Tan Wu. Simultaneously, the small boat under his feet finally moved, heading towards the shore.

"It truly is an illusion!" Zhao Yu’s gaze trembled.

Dong Zhengyang said in a deep voice, "And this illusion is very unusual; otherwise, so many people wouldn’t have perished here."

"The illusions we encountered before were just appetizers. This place is the true test for us. Are you all ready?" Qin Feiyang asked, glancing at the seven.

The seven nodded gravely. Having made it this far, we absolutely cannot stumble at this point.

"Let’s go!" Qin Feiyang waved his hand.

The eight individuals steered their small boats, rushing directly into the hundred-meter zone. Just like Tan Wu and the others before them, their boats stopped instantly. A cacophony of tempting voices, like a terrifying sonic tide, surged into their minds! Their faces and eyes revealed only pain and struggle!

As the eight entered this forbidden zone, the blond youth and the green-haired youth also let out a growl, successively breaking free from the illusion. However, upon seeing that Tan Wu had awakened before them, their expressions turned grim.

"Tan Wu, the first person to reach the shore must be one of us! You stop at once!" the blond youth shouted, his eyes glinting with murderous intent.

Tan Wu paid them no heed, his gaze fixed intently on the shore.

"Didn’t you hear me? I told you to stop!" The malevolence on the faces of the blond and green-haired youths intensified.

Tan Wu grunted coldly, "HMPH!" and disregarded their words.

"Break!"

At this moment, Mo Wushen’s shout rang out. He too had awakened and immediately began to steer his small boat toward the shore.

「Back to Qin Feiyang.」

At this moment, he was clenching his fists tightly, his face contorted, sweat pouring down his forehead like rain. In his mind, countless voices echoed: his mother’s voice... Uncle Yuan’s voice... Ling Yunfei’s voice... Lo Qingzhu’s voice... Jiang Zhengyi’s voice... Even the voices of Ma Hongmei, Zuo An, Master Lu, and Dong Zheng...

Indeed, whether they were his friends and family or enemies who had died by his hand, all of them seemed to be speaking from right behind him. Some said they missed him. Some said they wanted to kill him. Others claimed they had come to take his life. Some voices were so close to his ear that he could even feel the warm breath of the speakers, as if people were truly standing behind him.

So this is why Tan Wu and the others stopped here, Qin Feiyang finally understood. The illusions here are too realistic! Without exaggeration, the illusions we encountered along the way weren’t even a ten-thousandth of this!

"Your Highness, is the world outside fun? Don’t you want to return to the Imperial Capital? Too bad, you are no longer the Fourteenth Prince. You are now just an unwanted stray dog. You will never return to the Imperial Capital..."

"HAHAHA..."

Suddenly, the voices by his ear changed, turning into a cacophony of scornful and frenzied laughter. The emergence of these voices caused Qin Feiyang’s Evil Qi to surge violently! These were the voices of those who had harmed him in the Imperial Capital!

I’m going to tear them apart! He was filled with a maddening rage; his nails dug into his skin, drawing blood. But he gritted his teeth and endured. I absolutely must not turn back, the last shred of his rationality insisted.

Suddenly, an immense killing intent erupted from him. His black hair whipped around as he roared at the sky, "I swear, I will kill every single one of you with my own hands and make you regret you were ever born!"

With this roar, all the voices in his ears vanished instantly.

"PHEW..."

Immediately, Qin Feiyang’s body went limp. He slumped, half-kneeling in the small boat, sweat dripping like rain, panting like an ox.

That was too close, he thought. I almost lost my sanity. However, I should thank those voices. It was they who fully ignited the hatred and indomitable will in my heart, allowing me to break free from the illusion.

"HMM? Was that Qin Feiyang’s voice?"

Meanwhile, upon hearing Qin Feiyang’s roar, Tan Wu and Mo Wushen’s expressions flickered. Because they had been trapped by the illusion and couldn’t turn back, they only now realized Qin Feiyang had also arrived. Furthermore, judging by the sound, Qin Feiyang seemed to have already broken free from the illusion.

Instantly, Tan Wu’s gaze became playful. With this disaster-magnet here, things are bound to get interesting, he thought.

Mo Wushen’s eyes, however, filled with a chilling killing intent. I absolutely cannot let this man reach the shore!

He looked at the blond and green-haired youths ahead of him and sent a mental transmission, "That roar just now was Qin Feiyang. You two must keep your word."

"Don’t worry. With us here, he won’t reach the shore."

"And Tan Wu will also undoubtedly die today!"

A cruel smile spread across both their faces.

After briefly regaining his composure, Qin Feiyang finally recovered his strength. He stood up and glanced at Mo Wushen and the others, his brows furrowing slightly. Then, he looked at Tan Wu, who was about to disembark, a hint of amusement in his eyes.

Honestly, Tan Wu being the first to reach the shore was somewhat unexpected, he thought. However, it just shows this man has incredibly strong willpower. The more I see of him, the more satisfied I am. I must bring him under my command.

At that moment, Tan Wu’s small boat finally reached the bank.

Seeing this, the blond youth immediately grew anxious and shouted angrily, "Tan Wu, do you really not want to live anymore?"

"Whether I live or die isn’t for you to decide," Tan Wu retorted without turning his head, then strode confidently to the bow of the boat.

The shore... here I come, he muttered to himself, looking up at the long stone staircase. He then decisively lifted his foot and stepped onto the first stone step!

"Damn it!" The faces of the blond and green-haired youths turned ashen.

"Want to kill me? Then follow me!" Tan Wu said, still without turning his head, before sprinting up the stone steps.

Qin Feiyang glanced at the blond and green-haired youths, a touch of mockery in his eyes.

Actually, it doesn’t really matter who reaches the shore first. As long as one can enter the Imperial Capital, that’s enough. The only reason these two are so desperate to be first is pure vanity. If they were the first to reach the shore, they’d have bragging rights later. However, one thing is certain: Tan Wu has thoroughly angered them. An inevitable bloody fight is coming.

Qin Feiyang shifted his gaze back to Ren Wushuang and the others beside him. They are all still unconscious. How can I help them? he wondered, lowering his head in contemplation.

At this time, the blond youth, the green-haired youth, and Mo Wushen also began ascending the stone staircase. Their three boats immediately turned and headed back the way they came.

However, once the three of them were on the stone steps, they didn’t immediately chase after Tan Wu. The blond youth frowned and asked, "Do you think we can turn around now?"

"I don’t know," the green-haired youth replied, shaking his head.

After a moment’s thought, the blond youth said, "Mo Wushen, you try turning around."

"Me?" Mo Wushen’s face immediately turned green.

"What? Afraid of dying?" the blond youth’s eyes flashed dangerously. "Believe it or not, I’ll kick you down right now."

The green-haired youth added with a smile, "Mo Wushen, you need to confirm if we can turn around first. Only then can we help you deal with Qin Feiyang. If we can’t turn around, how are we supposed to deal with him? So, stop hesitating, lest you really get kicked into the Bitter Sea. Then all hope will be lost."

How infuriating! Mo Wushen seethed internally. I never should have allied myself with these two. But it’s too late for regrets now.

"I’ll count to three. If you haven’t turned around by then, don’t blame me for being ruthless!" the blond youth said with a cold smile.

"Three!"

"Two!"

"One!"

The blond youth counted slowly, but each number sounded like a death knell to Mo Wushen.

As soon as the count reached "one," Mo Wushen clenched his teeth, closed his eyes, and spun around abruptly, his face a mask of tension and panic.

One breath.

Two breaths.

Three Star...

After a full ten breaths had passed, there were still no signs of Mo Wushen’s body exploding.

He slowly opened his eyes. Seeing himself unharmed, he was overjoyed and exclaimed, "We can turn around!"

The blond and green-haired youths were also delighted and immediately turned to look at the Bitter Sea.

"It’s been over a month. This is the first time we’ve turned around to admire the scenery of the Bitter Sea. I must say, it really has a unique charm," the blond youth chuckled.

"Indeed!" The green-haired youth nodded, appearing quite moved, then asked, "Mo Wushen, who is Qin Feiyang?"

"That’s him." Mo Wushen pointed at Qin Feiyang, who was still deep in thought, a cold glint in his own eyes.

Following his gesture, the two youths scrutinized Qin Feiyang, a hint of disdain creeping into their eyes. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"He’s just a one-star War Ancestor. What’s the big deal? Killing him would be as easy as lifting a finger," the blond youth said scornfully, then added doubtfully, "But if he’s already awakened, why hasn’t he come up yet?"

Mo Wushen thought for a moment, then said, "This man greatly values relationships. He probably wants to help his companions."

"How childish," they both sneered, shaking their heads.

Mo Wushen glanced at them, a flicker of worry deep in his eyes. These two are far too arrogant. If we don’t eliminate Qin Feiyang quickly, we’ll end up suffering a tremendous loss.

His eyes flashed, and he suggested with a smile, "Gentlemen, to prevent any unexpected developments, why don’t we just blast him to death from here right now?"

"Good idea!"

"We’ve left the Bitter Sea, so we can attack him freely. He, on the other hand, is constrained on that small boat."

Both youths laughed, their smiles brilliant.

Mo Wushen also laughed. "Then what are we waiting for? Let’s end his wretched dog life!"

BOOM!!!

Instantly, three terrifying auras, like volcanic eruptions, burst forth from them.
