After the Engagement Was Broken Off, I Was Pursued by Peerless Holy Maidens - Chapter 42:

Chapter 42: Return of the Five Top Holy Maidens from the Northern Region, Surrounding and Killing Yun Feng:

The spirit elephant had held Xia Feng in place. Now, he had no way to escape and could only watch as the broadsword, filled with violent spiritual energy, came flying toward him!

“No!”

“Husband!”

The five Holy Maidens turned pale and shouted anxiously in Xia Feng’s direction.

Got him!

A flash of joy flickered in Yun Feng’s eyes. If this strike landed, that kid would be dead for sure!

But then, something unexpected happened.

At that critical moment, five streaks of flowing light suddenly shot down from the sky, racing straight toward the broadsword.

Ding!

Dong!

The clash of weapons echoed in the sky. Yun Feng’s broadsword was knocked slightly off course, slicing only the edge of Xia Feng’s robe as it brushed past him!

The blade tried to change direction again, but was struck repeatedly by five spiritual-energy-infused weapons.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

With every hit, the spiritual energy on the blade weakened, until it finally dropped from the air. It plunged straight into the ground, buzzing as if in frustration, and then fell completely silent.

“What?!”

Yun Feng was stunned. He looked up and saw five more figures appear in the sky!

Five breathtaking silhouettes floated mid-air. Though they formed a stunning scene, no one dared to look directly at them.

The five women radiated an icy killing intent. Their cold gazes were as sharp as blades, and their arched brows revealed their burning fury!

“We were only gone for a few days, and our husband almost got killed? What the hell have you all been doing?!”

Heavenly Fox Holy Land’s Holy Maiden, Yu Siya, was the first to step forward. Biting her red lips, she glared angrily at the other Holy Maidens surrounding Yun Feng.

“If we hadn’t arrived in time, he’d be dead!”

The expressions of the five Southern Region Holy Maidens were also grim. It was true that Xia Feng had nearly been killed, and they couldn’t deny it.

Besides, they did bear responsibility for this failure.

Five people had surrounded Yun Feng, yet they still almost let him kill Xia Feng.

“All right, all right. I’m fine.”

Sensing the awkward tension, Xia Feng quickly stepped in to smooth things over.

“The five top Holy Maidens from the Northern Region! They’re here too!”

“That means all ten of the Great Xia Empire’s top Holy Maidens are present… all for Xia Feng?!”

The Xia family’s guards and everyone else widened their eyes in disbelief as they stared up at the sky.

The Great Xia Empire was unimaginably vast. Most people wouldn’t see even one Holy Maiden in their entire lives. Yet today, because of Xia Feng, all ten had appeared at once.

The elder who had just used a martial technique to restrain Xia Feng swallowed hard. Looking at the ten Holy Maidens, a trace of fear crossed his mind.

Had they been wrong from the beginning to follow the sect master’s orders and attempt to kill Xia Feng?

If ten Holy Maidens were willing to fight for him and rush here at any cost, just who was this Xia Feng?

“You were the one who just ambushed our husband?”

The Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Fire Holy Land, Zhao Lingxuan, turned her angry gaze toward the elder who had been watching them.

Having cultivated fire techniques, her personality was already explosive. Zhao Lingxuan didn’t waste words. She instantly formed a seal with both hands.

“Red Lotus Karma Fire—Burn All Things!”

A fiery lotus bloomed from her palm. With a graceful toss, it rapidly expanded to the size of a person and shot toward the elder!

In an instant, the fire lotus trapped the Sky Elephant Sect elder. Moments later, his entire body erupted into flames, ignited by the lotus.

“No! Spare me!” the elder screamed miserably. But no matter how loudly he cried, it couldn’t stop the flames.

Three seconds later, the Sky Elephant Sect elder had turned to ash.

“Eighth Elder!”

The remaining elders of the Sky Elephant Sect couldn’t help but cry out in grief.

“Cry all you want. You’ll be joining him soon!”

The Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Sword Holy Land, Li Qingxue, didn’t waste any words. She unsheathed her sword and, in a flash, appeared before the remaining elders of the Sky Elephant Sect.

Swish!

A terrifying sword light swept past. Yun Feng’s pupils contracted sharply as he raised his head and roared, “Stone Harden!”

A gray-brown light flashed over him as both of his arms turned into solid rock. He raised them to block the sword light!

BOOM!

Dust exploded in front of him, but he had managed to block the attack. The Sky Elephant Sect elders behind him were unharmed.

Yun Feng’s lips curled slightly as he was about to scoff—until a cold voice rang out behind him.

“It’s not over yet—Frost Blades a Thousand Miles!”

The Holy Maiden of the Extreme Ice Holy Land, Lin Wanqing, shouted. With her at the center, a cold wind swept out in all directions. Countless icy blades soared into the air and shot toward Yun Feng and his men!

“Damn it! Get over here and form the formation!” Yun Feng shouted, jolting the other four grand elders into action.

The five of them each stepped on a specific point, pouring their spiritual power toward Yun Feng at the center.

“Five-Elephant Barrier Formation!”

A massive phantom of an ancient elephant appeared before them. It raised its head and let out a dizzying roar.

The sound disrupted the incoming frost blades—about half of them veered off course and missed.

“Hold on! If we can withstand this wave, I’ll use a Speed Talisman to escape with you all!” Yun Feng shouted to the elders.

“You think you can just escape with a Speed Talisman?”

The Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Talisman Holy Land, Li Shiqing, sneered. “Sisters, they nearly killed our husband. We can’t let them leave so easily.”

With a wave of her hand, countless explosive talismans flew out and stuck densely onto the elephant phantom.

BOOM BOOM BOOM!

Explosions rang out in rapid succession. The giant phantom instantly dimmed.

At the same time, a haunting flute melody echoed through the air. Its strange rhythm made Yun Feng and the others feel as if a thousand pounds of weight had been placed on their bodies—even breathing became difficult.

The other Holy Maidens also moved. Since these men had nearly killed Xia Feng, they would show no mercy!

“No! Holy Maidens, we were wrong! Please spare us! Our Sky Elephant Sect is willing to compensate with ten thousand supreme-grade spirit stones!”

Yun Feng’s eyes were filled with despair. If only three Holy Maidens had joined forces, he might still hope to escape. But now, all ten had stepped in—they were doomed!

“Enough nonsense. Just wait for death.”

A domineering figure leaped over them from above. With a downward slash, a fierce blade light cleaved through the sky!

“Who wants your spirit stones?! You almost killed our husband today—how could I possibly let you live?”

The Holy Maiden of the Spirit Holy Land, Qi Wan’er, raised her life staff. Five cages of spiritual light immediately trapped the five men.

Raging flames, bone-chilling frost, overbearing blades, sharp swords…

The ten Holy Maidens attacked together, unleashing their full power without reservation.

Gulp.

Xia Feng couldn’t help but swallow hard. From his perspective, Yun Feng and the others—now surrounded by the ten Holy Maidens—looked like pitiful rabbits being hunted by a pack of wolves.

Helpless, pitiful, desperate… only able to wait for death.

One minute later—

Yun Feng and the others were completely disintegrated by the combined assault, their bodies and true spirits annihilated. No trace of their existence remained in this world.
