Chapter 826: Chapter 826
Just as Du You was preparing to pursue his victory, he instinctively felt a surge of danger.
Without thinking, Du You’s figure flashed, and Shadow Teleport was activated, disappearing on the spot. The Gang Qi around Jing Luofeng suddenly burst forth, engulfing everything around it and then rapidly spinning to form a vortex.
As the vortex spun, it dragged everything around it into its pull, even producing a strong suction force in the air. Everything nearby, whether it was Demon Extermination Spirits or grass and stones, was sucked in without remaining intact.
Even a Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf that came close was swept into it in an instant, without even a struggle.
"Vortex," a roar came from within the Gang Qi vortex, and the surrounding Gang Qi instantly shrank, forming a Light Ball at the tip of Jing Luofeng’s longsword. This rapidly spinning Light Ball emanated a terrifying destructive power.
"Not good," Du You was startled and consecutively used Shadow Teleport, disappearing once again.
The next moment, the sphere passed through the place where Du You had just been standing, instantly hitting a distant mountain. The entire process barely took any time at all. The next moment, the sphere exploded, and a massive blue explosion vortex swept out, engulfing the entire mountain, reducing it to scattered rubble.
"Such a terrifying attack, and it’s a two-stage attack at that," Du You was immensely shocked.
Having been invincible among his peers and crushing any native at his level, Du You had gradually underestimated these natives. Only today did he realize that these natives also possessed such formidable power.
Had he been caught in that vortex just now, Du You didn’t know whether he could break free. Although he could withstand it with his defense, it definitely wouldn’t have been an easy experience.
And that final sphere, had it hit him, Du You felt that even with his two tier-four defense skills combined with a peak tier-three defense skill, he wouldn’t be able to withstand it.
At that time, it would certainly result in the consumption of one of his Resurrection Dolls.
"How is it possible, how could you use Instantaneous Movement consecutively?"
Jing Luofeng, as a member of the empire’s upper class, was aware of the legendary magic of Instantaneous Movement. According to some records, very few wizards in ancient times could use this move, and all who could were extremely troublesome.
But even in those records, none of those wizards could consecutively use Instantaneous Movement, not even instant casts. Jing Luofeng had thought that with his surprise two-stage attack, Du You wouldn’t have the time to activate Instantaneous Movement again, and it would be a dead end. But who could have thought that the opponent could use it twice in a row, rendering his attack futile?
Of course, Du You also instinctively felt the danger, so he burst out with it in an instant. If he had been even slightly later, by the time he realized something was wrong, that speed of attack would definitely have been too much to handle.
At this moment, Du You truly experienced the power of the Tian Gang Martial Artist, even if their burst duration was short. From that burst, Du You could see that Jing Luofeng had already exhausted all his Gang Qi.
"Now it’s my turn," Du You narrowed his eyes, the recent scare still fresh in his mind.
With a wave of his hand, a vast Dark Flame Arrow Array was unleashed, forming a flood that washed over Jing Luofeng. Normally, Jing Luofeng could have blocked this attack by releasing his Gang Qi.
But now, Jing Luofeng, whose Gang Qi was completely depleted, had no ability to resist. He could only swing his sword, knocking a few arrows out of the air, before being riddled with the following volley of arrows like a hedgehog, dying instantly on the spot.

A Tian Gang Martial Master without Gang Qi is that fragile, effortlessly killed with a simple strike.
"Father." Next to him, Jing Luofeng’s son, who hadn’t yet recovered from seeing his father’s mighty display, suddenly realized his father had died. His eyes turned bloodshot as he unleashed all his powers in a flurry.
The Gang Qi in his body fully erupted, and amidst his outburst, several of the bloodthirsty demon wolves were instantly killed. Unfortunately, the two sisters used Instantaneous Movement to leave the scene in a blink, evading his attack.
However, after the outburst, his Gang Qi was also completely drained.
The few remaining demon wolves pounced on him en masse. A Tian Gang Martial Master without Gang Qi is that fragile, hardly struggling before being bitten to death and torn apart by the demon wolves, dying a gruesome death on the spot.
On the city wall, the emperor, his ministers, and various commanders had their eyes split with rage, not having anticipated that the empire’s Martial Gods would die , without achieving any effect whatsoever.
Two Martial Gods! With just these two individuals, the empire would have had no problem uniting the entire world. But who could have expected that after a single battle, both Martial Gods would be dead? Was this a sign that their empire was destined to fall?
"Lock the city gates tight, and do not allow them to be opened under any circumstances," commanded the emperor, his courage shattered by fear.
"These Tian Gang Martial Masters are really formidable. If they coordinated with other Professionals, even we would need to be cautious of their combined combat power," said Lin Yucha, her face betraying lingering fear.
"If they become Professionals and later find a way to increase their Gang Qi, that would be troublesome," Lin Yushi seemed somewhat reluctant to have Du You release this profession; it was too dangerous.
"Don’t worry, no profession is perfect. Since this profession has such explosive power, even if in the future there are advancement skills that can help increase the quantity of Gang Qi, they certainly won’t last too long."
This was one of those secret rules: no profession is perfect; there’s only relative perfection. The best method is to raise the star tier; the higher the star tier, the fewer the weaknesses. Just like herself—with two professions combined and a super high star tier, her own weaknesses are even stronger than the strengths of many Professionals, making her seem almost perfect.
"Hey, that thing on his body looks like it could be used as advancement material," she observed.
Suddenly, Lin Yushi’s gaze turned toward Jing Luofeng’s corpse on the ground, no, more precisely, to the battle boots on the corpse.
"I can feel that these boots correspond to my Rapid Run skill. Sister, can you feel it?"
Lin Yucha shook her head; she didn’t feel anything. "Maybe advancement materials really vary based on a person’s needs. I don’t feel anything, but something else seems to be useful to me."
Du You was a bit shocked. The two sisters were telepathically linked twins and even had the same profession. Both of them possessed Rapid Run without integrating any demon power, having learned it directly from skill scrolls.
What Du You hadn’t expected was that these boots actually reacted with Lin Yushi but had no effect on Lin Yucha. Du You knew it wasn’t Lin Yucha giving way to her sister; it was genuinely that she couldn’t sense anything. These advancement materials truly were peculiar.
