Chapter 31 The Power of Divine Artifacts
"I have weapons too!"
The crescent-shaped blade of the Darkin Scythe gleamed with a cold, chilling light, and its appearance caused the temperature in the entire mall to drop several degrees.
Fortunately, no one was around, and Jiang Beicheng had closed the only door.
He became the only spectator of this weapon.
"You also have a storage device... no, this isn't a storage device?!"
The moment the weapon appeared, Jiang Beicheng could clearly feel the machete in his hand trembling slightly—a fear that came from the depths of his soul!
Others couldn't see what had just happened, but he was near Jiang Feng and naturally saw the real situation!
He stared blankly at the weapon that had appeared in Jiang Feng's hand, and then saw the bracelet in his hand disappear at that moment. An extremely strange conjecture slowly formed in his mind.
"A high-level spiritual weapon? No... what kind of weapon is this? Why do you have a weapon of this level?!" he asked in a daze.
His composure crumbled completely at this moment, leaving only disbelief on his face.
"Such a strong reaction?" Jiang Feng frowned inwardly upon seeing this.
It seems Jiang Beicheng is doomed to die today.
Otherwise, if news of the Darkin Reaper gets out, the consequences will be dire.
Thinking this way—
Jiang Feng did not reply, but instead gripped the Darkin Scythe, his Darkin blood boiling completely.
A terrifying force emanated from the scythe, and the familiar heartbeat rang out once more; the two merged into one.
"Clang!"
He swung the Darkin Scythe, slashing it down fiercely at Jiang Beicheng. A dark red arc of light sliced through the air, so fast that its trajectory was impossible to discern.
Jiang Beicheng snapped out of his daze and quickly raised his machete to block.
but--
A "click" sound.
To the surprise of both of them, the machete, made of fine steel, was chipped as the Darkin Scythe struck, and the blade itself trembled violently, as if it would break at any moment.
"Truly a divine artifact." Jiang Feng sighed.
Then, without giving his opponent much time to be shocked, he twisted his wrist, and the scythe drew a perfect arc, slashing at him again.
Jiang Beicheng was forced to retreat repeatedly, and could only awkwardly swing his machete to parry. After several rounds, the blade was covered with cracks and was about to be completely ruined.
"Die!"
With the blade damaged, Jiang Beicheng knew he was no match for Jiang Feng. So he channeled all his power, and an extremely terrifying fire-attribute aura rose from his body. He unleashed a palm strike with all his might.
"Burning Heaven Palm!"
With a roar, he unleashed a palm strike with earth-shattering force, slamming it down on Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng's pupils shrank sharply. From the terrifying aura emanating from that palm, he knew that the level of this martial skill was definitely not low.
He also mobilized all his energy and blood, raised the Darkborn Scythe, and blocked it forward!
"Bang!"
"Pfft!"
As the attack landed, he staggered back several steps and coughed up a mouthful of blood.
He blocked most of the attack with his Darkborn Scythe, but the residual shockwave still injured him.
Jiang Beicheng was also having a hard time. His blood surged up to his throat, and he felt a sweet taste in his mouth before spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"Brother Jiang, how about we call it even today?" Jiang Beicheng's face was grim, but he forced a smile.
As he spoke, his right hand was already behind his back, and a storage artifact flashed with spiritual light, revealing a bottle of high-quality purified water.
But before he could even swallow it, the boy in front of him suddenly raised his scythe and stood up again. Around him, the blood and qi power that was clearly not of ordinary origin suddenly erupted, like a volcano that had been suppressed for a long time!
"You still have the strength left?" Jiang Beicheng was both surprised and angry.
This guy clearly didn't replenish any energy, so why is his recovery ability so strong?
Even those with profound bones couldn't achieve this level, right?!
What he didn't know was that the Darkblood lineage possessed extremely strong regenerative abilities, and in this respect, Jiang Feng had probably already caught up with martial artists at the Spirit Bone level.
"Drink...drink..."
Jiang Feng stood up, panting heavily.
Although the blood of the Darkin can quickly heal injuries, it also takes a huge toll on the body. Just the simple act of standing up made him feel a lack of blood supply.
Fortunately, he still had enough Darkin blood in his body!
Jiang Beicheng was already at his last gasp. Next, he decided to gamble on one last blow and kill his opponent before he could recover!
..........
Without any warning, Jiang Feng made his move!
The ground beneath his feet trembled slightly, and he first bent backward before shooting out like an arrow, heading straight for Jiang Beicheng's vital point!
"not good!"
Jiang Beicheng was powerless to dodge any longer. Faced with this attack, he lost his composure. Instinctively, just like Jiang Feng had done before, he circulated his remaining qi and blood, raised his machete, and placed it in front of his chest to block.
"block!"
However, the machete was not a divine weapon like the Darkin Scythe. As he approached, Jiang Feng suddenly poured his last bit of strength into his hand and swung the scythe in a crescent moon slash.
"Ding!"
This machete, which had been with Jiang Beicheng for over 20 years, finally gave way at this moment and was cleaved in two by the Darkin Scythe through the tiger's mouth!
The sickle's momentum didn't wane, slicing a perfect curve across Jiang Beicheng's head. Blood gushed from his neck like a fountain, and Jiang Beicheng felt as if the world had turned upside down, his vision blurred, and he couldn't see anything clearly.
Then, with a "thud," like a watermelon rolling down, Jiang Beicheng was completely lifeless.
The knife broke, and the person died.
Jiang Feng had no strength left, and the scythe transformed back into a dark red bracelet, which he put back on his wrist.
.........
Picking up the bottle of premium purified water from Jiang Beicheng's hand, Jiang Feng tilted his head back and drank it all down.
His depleted energy began to gradually recover. He shook his head, which was about to faint, and sat down with a thud.
Five minutes later, he took out his phone and sent a message to Lin Lu to let her know he was safe.
Then, he dialed Liu Sujun's number.
"Beep...beep...beep"
The voice on the other end of the phone came through quickly.
"Xiaofeng, how are you? We're almost there, hang in there!" It was Liu Sujun's anxious voice.
"It's alright, Sister Liu, I've taken care of everything here." Jiang Feng asked calmly, "Did something happen on your end? Why did it take so long?"
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.
"It's like this, Xiaofeng, just now..." Liu Sujun's voice suddenly stopped, and after a moment, she continued, "Let's talk about this tonight. It's good that you're alright. We'll be there in 5 minutes."
"Okay." Jiang Feng nodded and hung up the phone.
What happened today is so bizarre.
He was inexplicably being targeted, and it seemed that the person behind it was quite capable, able to mobilize gangsters and even delay the actions of law enforcement officers.
Who exactly is this person?
Why would they target me?
He subconsciously looked towards the empty shopping mall; there was no one around, and the vast space was as silent as a graveyard.
A bone-chilling cold surged up to the top of his head, and he quickly activated the Heart Lock to ward off evil, which finally dispelled the fear in his heart.
Knowing he shouldn't be thinking about these things right now, Jiang Feng forced himself to calm down and opened the panel before Liu Sujun and the others arrived.
To his surprise, killing Jiang Beicheng this time actually gave him an extra boost.

Jiang Feng looked at the storage artifact in Jiang Beicheng's hand, his heart filled with anticipation.
