Xiang Yunfei

Xiang Yunfei tries to use Di Xin's death as a casus belli to fight Long Chen, but Long Chen exposes that Xiang did not truly care about Ye Zhiqing's son and was only trying to benefit himself.
== Personality ==
Xiang Yunfei was extremely arrogant, and that was precisely the kind of person that Long Chen liked to slap in the face. Having heard Xiang Yunfei repeatedly say that he would kill him, Long Chen was naturally angered. He felt refreshed to see Xiang Yunfei’s current expression.
== Story ==
Ninth place was someone from the ancient races, Xiang Yunfei. It seemed they were also a terrifying expert. Their name hadn't appeared before, but they had charged into the top ten at this time. Their kill points were narrowly behind Yue Zifeng's.
That made Long Chen sigh. The Martial Heaven Continent was truly filled with hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Even someone like Yue Zifeng had powerful competitors that might surpass him at any time. The ancient races' experts couldn't be underestimated.
He was clearly a top expert that the ancient races had sent to win them glory. Not only was he strong himself, but he had to have powerful trump cards. Otherwise, they wouldn't have sent him.
Powers like the ancient races, the Corrupt path, the Bloodkill Hall, and the Xuan Beasts were not allied with the Righteous path. They would normally only send one or two top experts to fight for the top places of the Devil Slaughter Rankings.
If they sent more, that would be helping the Righteous path, when in reality, they were fighting for themselves. They didn't care about the Righteous path or if the devil creatures charged onto the surface.
That was why the representatives that they sent would always be experts amongst experts, people they were confident in when it came to getting in the top ten. So it was natural that someone from the ancient races would take eighth place.
He later reappears in .
=== Battle ===
“What else could I possibly mean? Using a dead person as an excuse to curry favor with their mother’s family. It gives you a grand reason to fight me and wins you a favor. When the time comes, the ancient family alliance and the Martial Heaven Alliance’s furious war will result in you sitting back and benefiting, while also pulling in such a powerful helper. Based on this play, you should say something about me being intolerable, and how righteous you are, then about how kind Di Xin was, how he loved the commoners, how he helped the sick, and how the two of you were as close as brothers. Then whether you defeat me or lose, you’ll achieve your goal. What an excellent idea, killing multiple birds with one stone. Come, I invite you to start your show.”
Di Xin’s mother’s previous feelings of gratitude toward Xiang Yunfei vanished like smoke in the wind.
She wasn’t a fool, and she understood her son the best. Other than beautiful women, Di Xin didn’t care about anything else, especially men who were stronger than him. He definitely wouldn’t view such people as friends.
If Long Chen hadn’t said this, perhaps she really would have been fooled by Xiang Yunfei. The gratitude in her eyes vanished, replaced with profound resentment.
Xiang Yunfei was using her son’s death to curry favor with her. Hence, how did she know that Di Xin’s death wasn’t part of Xiang Yunfei’s plan?
Upon thinking of that, her fury grew to a new level, but she didn’t say anything more.
=== Death by cyan brick ===
Suddenly, a figure climbed out of the ground. Startled cries rang out. That person was Xiang Yunfei.
Xiang Yunfei’s entire body was charred black. His hair was gone and he looked like a desiccated corpse. He had just crawled up when he began hacking up blood.
The current Xiang Yunfei had completely lost his original grandeur and arrogance. His entire body quivered just by standing. He was looking around for Long Chen’s figure.
That last exchange had been too terrifying.
If it hadn’t been for the one hundred and eight Heavenly Bone Spears, he would have been turned to ash.
He was heavily injured, with his soul, qi, and essence badly damaged. He was already on the verge of crumbling.
However, he was still looking around. His years of fighting and killing had nurtured his powerful will. He knew that Long Chen wasn’t dead. This was his best opportunity to kill him.
Suddenly, the ground exploded and a figure flew out, charging at Xiang Yunfei. The black saber in his hand mercilessly slashed down.
His guess was correct. Long Chen had immediately charged into the ground when the World Annihilation Flame Lotus was about to explode. However, he hadn’t gone too deep. If he did, the underground pressure would have been too great. The depth that he had gone was perfect, allowing him to avoid most of the explosion’s power. He was definitely better off than Xiang Yunfei.
The cyan brick erupted with divine light, transforming into a giant brick that smashed down with enough power to turn heaven and earth upside down.
The cyan brick shattered the light enveloping Xiang Yunfei and slammed into the ground. The entire world shuddered violently, and the ground caved in. There was a bottomless hole in the ground now.
Xiang Yunfei’s aura had completely vanished.
The ground rumbled. The one hundred and eight Heavenly Bone Spears suddenly transformed into bolts of light that pierced through the void and vanished.
The Heaven Flipping Seal slowly rose out of the ground. There was now a person pressed onto one side of it.
That person was Xiang Yunfei, smashed into flat pulp. He was essentially unrecognizable, but everyone with eyes knew that he was dead, dead to the point that he couldn’t be more dead. Even his Yuan Spirit was gone. A generation’s heavenly genius had really died here. It was difficult to comprehend that this was reality.
Long Chen silently put away the Heaven Flipping Seal. Looking at Xiang Yunfei’s corpse, he shook his head.
He hadn’t expected things to develop to this point. Originally, he had been holding back the Heaven Flipping Seal in order to collect the Heavenly Bone Spears. Unfortunately, he had been forced to use it on Xiang Yunfei.
The Heavenly Bone Spears had fled, and he was powerless to stop them. In the end, he had won nothing.
=== Corpse ===
“Take it. My battle with Xiang Yunfei was not based on personal enmity but simply the competition between our powers. Now that he’s dead, our enmity is at an end.” Long Chen waved his hand.
Long Chen didn’t particularly hate Xiang Yunfei. His fight with him was the result of the larger environment. It was part of the laws of the world where the strong devoured the weak.
Considering his enmity with the ancient races had long since been set in stone and that Xiang Yunfei was the ancient races’ top genius, it was their fate to collide. No one could have changed this.
Of course, Long Chen wouldn’t foolishly give his opponent a path to live or try to reform them. That was stupid kindness. This kind of enmity between whole races was very difficult to change. Kindness would only bring pain.
Only once Long Chen said this did those ancient race experts take Xiang Yunfei’s corpse. They immediately left to bring Xiang Yunfei’s corpse back to the Barbarian Mammoth race. The ancient races were probably about to be shaken.
“How rude. The ancient races always say that they’ll tear senior apprentice-brother Long Chen’s corpse into a million pieces, but now that he left Xiang Yunfei’s corpse whole and even let them take it away, they don’t even say any thanks.”
“The ancient races are just like that. No matter how well we humans treat them, they won’t feel grateful. All they know how to do is suck up to the Xuan Beasts. To them, the farts of the Xuan Beasts are perfume.”
Countless disciples began to sneer at the ancient races. If it was Long Chen who had lost today, it was unknown just how Xiang Yunfei would humiliate and display his corpse. The difference in character between them was immense. It also reflected the difference between the human race and the ancient races.
“Everyone can scatter. The divine pressure that still remains on the battlefield means that those at the Soul Transformation realm and below should try to avoid the core or their souls will be injured,” warned Qu Jianying.
This battle was worthy of being described as heaven-shaking. After the battle, it was unknown how many disciples ran over to comprehend the wills left behind by the two of them. They could use this to temper their souls.
However, many disciples weren’t strong enough to endure Long Chen and Xiang Yunfei’s powerful leftover wills. If those disciples accidentally got too close, they would receive an injury to their souls, perhaps without even noticing.
Qu Jianying didn’t want this battlefield to cause any deaths amongst talented disciples, so she warned them gravely.

=== Manifestation ===
Xiang Yunfei’s manifestation, which had been on the verge of fading, suddenly returned. However, at this moment, his forehead suddenly split open. Violet-red blood poured out.
That blood condensed into a mammoth-shaped rune in the sky. Following that, the vague figure within his manifestation slowly walked out.
When that illusory mammoth walked out of his manifestation, an ancient bloodline power manifested, accompanied by an earth-shaking rumbling.
“Are you angry? Do you feel despair? Do you feel that I’m contemptible? This isn’t my power, but the ancestral spirit power my Mammoth race has sacrificed for generations. My spiritual yuan might be exhausted, but I can still use my bloodline to summon this power to kill you. Do you feel sullen?” Xiang Yunfei held the Heavenly Bone Spear. Its violet light had returned as if it had been revived as well.
“Sullen? No. Angry? No. Contempt? Also no. As long as it’s a power you can control, then whether you stole it or borrowed it, it’s yours. So I don’t feel contempt, anger, or sullenness. I just feel like you’re stupid. Do you have a pig’s memory? Or did you cultivate just to be a poser?” Long Chen pulled Evilmoon back into his spiritual space.
Evilmoon had used up all its power and needed time to recover. There was no way around this as the Sovereign seal was still present. The power Evilmoon could store and control was very limited.
As for Long Chen himself, his spiritual yuan was near empty. This fight had truly been exhausting. Even forcing heaven and earth to hand over their energy didn’t allow him to keep up with the exhaustion. However, his expression was still calm.
