"Clang! Clang! ~"
"~Hiss~Hiss! ~"
Amidst the shattering sound of the space power barrier, there were dense cutting sounds, and the spatial blades formed by the shattered space power barrier inflicted numerous wounds on Ye Feng...
"Whoosh~Boom! ~Boom! ~"
After the howling of the blazing sun hurricane, Ye Feng, covered in blood, fell to the ground and rolled.
Before Ye Feng could get up, Apollo's figure appeared beside him and stomped on Ye Feng, who was trying to rise, forcing him back to the ground.
"Kid, as a human, you indeed have some skill... but that's all..."
As he spoke, Apollo increased the pressure on his foot. "That waste Ares couldn't even properly place an Iggo mark for tracking... If it had been a few more days, the Iggo mark on you would have likely disappeared..."
"Iggo mark?"
Upon hearing this, a flash of light appeared on Ye Feng's hand, but it wasn't a weapon. Instead, it was a mirror. He quickly brought the mirror to his back and turned his head to look, discovering a red-gray pattern resembling a heart on the center of his back...
"This thing... burrowed into my skin... Was it during that time Ares sneak-attacked me in the City of Arcane Arts?"
Looking at the red-gray pattern in the mirror, Ye Feng couldn't help but recall the battle with Ares in the City of Arcane Arts. His heart had indeed ached at that time...
At this moment, Apollo once again held the golden greatbow in his hand. He drew the string, and a bow and arrow burning with raging flames and emitting dazzling light appeared. "Kid, watch closely as the Corona Arrow pierces the Iggo mark left by Ares... It'll be revenge for that waste too!"
"Whoosh! Hoo! ~"
As Apollo finished speaking, the Corona Arrow left the string and instantly struck the center of Ye Feng's back.
"Bang! ~Rumble~Hoo! ~Hoo! ~"
The entire area where Ye Feng stood instantly turned into a sea of fire, mountains collapsing and the earth cracking...
"Big Brother!"
Seeing this, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but exclaim.
Even though she knew Ye Feng wasn't going all out, possibly to discover what mark Ares had left on him, she still felt a pang of anxiety seeing this scene...
Qiao Ying and Yue Yan, standing beside Xiao Xiao, felt the same...
"Buzz!"
At this moment, the space beside Apollo warped slightly, and in the next second, he appeared before the three women, Xiao Xiao, Qiao Ying, and Yue Yan.
"Three trash humans..."
As Apollo spoke, his expression changed, for he sensed an abnormal fluctuation from afar behind him.
"Hey, Apollo, right? One of the Twelve Main Gods... Is that all you've got?"
As Apollo turned around, Ye Feng's voice echoed from the flames roaring in the massive pit.
"Wh-what? How is that possible?"
Apollo's face was filled with disbelief.
"Whoosh! ~"
The residual flames of the Corona Arrow twisted, and Ye Feng's figure flickered, instantly rushing to Apollo's side. He swung his Tang dao fiercely towards Apollo's neck.
"Yan Kai!"
Apollo roared, and armor with surging red-gray light suddenly appeared on his body.
"Clang!"
Ye Feng's Tang dao struck the Yan Kai, and the true energy instantly dispersed. The space where the Tang dao and Yan Kai made contact twisted and shattered.
"Clang~Clang! ~"
"Clang~Clang! ~"
Failing to land a hit, Ye Feng gripped the Tang dao again, true energy surging, and rapidly attacked Apollo.
Apart from using the Yan Kai to defend at first, Apollo later produced two blazing blades in his hands and engaged Ye Feng in combat.
Ye Feng and Apollo were incredibly fast, occasionally crossing space... As their figures flashed, the entire area was soon in ruins...
"Corona Arrow!"
After a bout of exchanges, Apollo found an opening, pushed Ye Feng away, and shot a Corona Arrow at him.
The Corona Arrow tore through space and, in the blink of an eye, reached Ye Feng's chest. Just as it was about to pierce through, a faint red-golden flame erupted from Ye Feng's chest – it was the Tribulation Fire.
"Hiss~Hoo!"
The Corona Arrow, upon entering the Tribulation Fire, instantly vanished, leaving no trace and causing no harm to Ye Feng...
"Kid, you used this method just now..."
Seeing this, Apollo's face was filled with surprise. Then, a hint of fear appeared on his expression, for he recognized the flame erupting from Ye Feng.
"Tribulation... Tribulation Fire... That's actually Tribulation Fire..."
Apollo's face was filled with disbelief. "Tribulation Fire within a human body... How... How is that possible..."
While Apollo was in shock, Ye Feng's figure flickered and appeared before him. His Tang dao, surging with Tribulation Fire, rapidly slashed towards Apollo's chest.
"Whoosh! Clang! ~"
"Hoo~! Crackle! ~"
Ye Feng's Tang dao, imbued with Tribulation Fire, struck the Yan Kai, causing it to crumble instantly.
"Whoosh! ~"
"Hiss! ~"
Ye Feng's Tang dao sliced across again, leaving a bloody wound on Apollo's chest.
"Ugh~Ah!"
Apollo immediately cried out in pain. The space around him twisted, and his body instantly merged into the void. In the next second, he appeared thousands of meters away from Ye Feng.
Ye Feng took a step forward, and ripples spread from the void beneath his feet. In the blink of an eye, he appeared beside Apollo...
"Whoosh! Hiss! ~"
"Ah! ~"
With a flash of his Tang dao, Apollo cried out in pain again, and another profusely bleeding wound appeared on his body.
"Whoosh! ~Clang! ~"
"Hiss~"
"Ah~Clang! Clang~Hiss! ~"
"Ah! ~"
Apollo wielded his blazing blades, constantly blocking Ye Feng's attacks while dodging relentlessly. He even shot multiple Corona Arrows, attempting to tear through space and escape, but Ye Feng's speed was far too great, giving Apollo no chance...
In a short while, Apollo was covered in wounds and lay on the ground, bleeding profusely...
"Damn human... to be so powerful... Damned beast... If you hadn't stolen and eaten the fruit of the Iggo Divine Tree, how could you possess such immense power..."
"Beast, beast!"
Seeing Ye Feng approaching with his Tang dao, Apollo, his eyes filled with terror, shuffled backward, roaring at Ye Feng like a wild animal.
"Iggo Divine Tree fruit? What is that?"
Ye Feng frowned, his expression confused.
"Stop pretending, you damned human! If you hadn't stolen and eaten the fruit of the Iggo Divine Tree, how could you so-called cultivators gain such immense power!"
"Damn beasts, thieves, liars..."
Apollo had long lost his previous refined demeanor. His face was contorted, and a large portion of his curly hair had been sliced off by Ye Feng, leaving him almost bald. He yelled furiously, his eyes filled with hatred.
"What the hell... I haven't eaten any Iggo Divine Tree fruit at all!"
Ye Feng was genuinely puzzled.
