The Sacred Ruins

Chapter 240: Worldwide Commotion

Translator: Alsey Editor: Chrissy

The dawn was destined not to be peaceful. This was especially true for the mutants and beast race members of the Jiangxi region. Everyone couldn’t help but tremble!

Demon King Chu killed ten kings in one night, shaking the whole land!

Word is that the news was reported by some beast race members in that area of the forest. They had personally witnessed the fearsome battle.

It was an absolutely earth-shattering battle.

"Quick! Let’s head to the battleground and obtain first-hand material!"

"What a feat! What a devil! It was said that he had suffered grievous injuries and was already one foot in the grave. But he dragged his exhausted body onward and killed ten king level experts in one night!"

The agents of the various powers and organizations in Jiangxi were scrambling into action. The media were also included among them—they wished they could grow wings and rush immediately to the scene to gather information.

Unfortunately, only a silent battlefield greeted them upon arrival. All the corpses had been cleared thoroughly.

They could, however, clearly see that a great battle had taken place in the area.

The ground was covered with fallen leaves, the earth cracked open in many places and the forests destroyed. There were traces of blood everywhere.

Some mountaintops had been shaved off amidst the chaotic mess caused by the battle.

There were some light golden scales, blood-soaked beast furs and bone fragments—all belonging to king level entities!

Many people took photos and recorded the frightening scene to show the world.

After seeing these images, everyone, whether they were internet news followers or printed newspaper readers, was stunned in amazement.

"A dying Chu Feng had killed ten kings in one night!"

"A peerless breathing technique, a peerless retaliation!"

Many different eye-catching headlines popped up.

This kind of news had great impact. Ten great king level entities had died to a single person in one night! This caused everyone to be tongue-tied.

Just the day before, they were posting news of Chu Feng being badly wounded after the intense battle with the Black Dragon Crown Prince of the Southern Sea.

But barely a night had passed before they were made to report news of Chu Feng’s frightening martial accomplishments; killing several king level experts in one night.

Previously, there were quite a few people who had judged that, from his wounds, Chu Feng would likely be weak for a long period of time.

Now all the news headlines and front pages were filled with either words or photos of Chu Feng’s terrifying battle.

Giant eight-meter footprints which split apart the woods.

Claw marks that belonged to a ferocious bird which directly split open a mountaintop and leaving a large defect.

Terrifying palm prints that shattered the summit of a mountain.

Traces of lightning that bombarded the mountainous woods, melting several rocky mountains.

...

These reports shook the people all around the world!

"Seeing such news early in the morning truly makes me doubt life." An old pedant sighed. These marks proved that the battle which took place that night was one of terrifying supernatural abilities.

"It’s fortunate that I have a strong heart. Otherwise, I might’ve been stunned silly."

"Is Immortal Chu so heaven-defying? Killing ten kings in one night! If only I had such martial accomplishments, it would be enough to brag about for a lifetime. It’s simply too miraculous!" A mutant sighed ruefully.

News of Chu Feng’s great battle at Jiangxi had spread to all areas and created huge waves throughout the land.

"Is our boss trying to become a god?! He actually slaughtered ten king level entities even while severely wounded. This is too astounding!"

Not to mention the others, even people like the clairvoyant and Ye Qingrou were shocked and dumbfounded.

They were also worried about his safety.

People like Xiong Kun and Hu Sheng were even more surprised. Their scalps grew numb at the thought of how heaven-defying and terrifying Chu Feng was.

Being of the beast race themselves, they were fully aware how the Peacock King had ordered the kings of Jiangxi to kill Chu Feng. They had first thought Demon King Chu would be in a grave danger, but never did they expect him to turn the tables on them and kill ten kings in one night.

"Good brat. You killed well! How delightful!" Lu Tong laughed loudly for a moment after receiving the news but his expression turned solemn after a while. He realized how terrifying it must’ve been to be hunted down by so many people.

The old man immediately contacted their available agents, "Secure Chu Feng at all costs, using any method at your disposal!"

Because Lu Tong knew that, although Chu Feng appeared formidable after killing ten kings in one night, he had likely paid a steep price and was probably in dire straits at the moment.

At this moment, all the major corporations were flabbergasted. They had assessed Chu Feng’s situation previously and believed that he was barely alive. Who would’ve thought he would actually have enough energy to shock the world like so?

It goes without saying that those in the worst mood were the experts of the Peacock Race. They had commanded the experts of Jiangxi to deter and attack Chu Feng only to encounter such a development.

This came as a setback for them. Regardless of his physical condition after the battle, his fame had now soared to new heights.

It was a glorious battle!

These major powers were all depressed as none of them were able to capture Chu Feng. They had even lost their own king level experts in the fray. It was quite the loss for them.

"We definitely have to capture him alive and obtain the breathing technique. At least we have to finish him off!" Some dignitaries within a major power concluded.

They were worried that Chu Feng would come knocking on their door at a later date and sweep over them like a hurricane. The mad Demon King Chu will surely exact vengeance regardless of the cost.

"But that’s fine too because we left no clues at all. The whole place was cleaned up thoroughly. As far as evidence goes, it has nothing to do with us." There were also major powers acting nonchalantly.

"Kill, we definitely have to kill Demon King Chu. This is our best opportunity. Everyone, what is there to worry with peerless experts like the Peacock King and Golden Crow leading the campaign? The most important thing is to obtain the breathing technique!"

Some beast race members were quite extreme. This was especially true for those who had taken part in the great battle with Chu Feng because they knew there was no longer any way for them to get back on his good side. Failing to capture Chu Feng that night had put them in a potentially dangerous situation.

At this time, although the beast race members were full of killing intent, they were not so confident. If, by any chance, Chu Feng lived, they would be in great trouble later on.

"Those humans were indeed crafty. They made sure not to reveal their identity even under a situation where a couple dozens of us were surrounding Chu Feng with almost no way for him to escape," a beast king cursed loudly. They would, otherwise, have dragged those major human powers down with them.

"It really was a great humiliation. So many kings on our side went to hunt him down, yet not only did we fail to catch him, we even lost ten instead!"

The beast race king level entities were all gathered together, all were feeling depressed and sullen.

It was them who had gone to kill Chu Feng but some had been killed instead. They, however, didn’t reflect on their own decisions but pushed all their hatred onto Chu Feng instead.

That noon, another frightening news appeared.

The Peacock King and the master of the Hollow Jade Temple had fought a huge battle at the Jiangxi borders, flattening a whole mountain ridge!

This great battle between peerless experts took place near the Anhui Province.

The Peacock King had hurried south to kill Chu Feng but was stopped by the Hollow Jade Temple Master as he approached Jiangxi whereupon a great battle broke out.

One could easily imagine how accurate their information must’ve been for the Temple Master to act in such a timely manner.

But people knew that when people at that level wish to avoid a lethal confrontation, it might not necessarily be possible for another at the same level to stop him.

"Things don’t look good. The Peacock King has already entered Anhui Province and closing in on Chu Feng’s location!"

"It’s terrible! Chu Feng would be in huge trouble if the Peacock King reaches there."

The situation was anything but reassuring and people couldn’t help but worry about Chu Feng. He had already been badly wounded and was sure to meet his demise the moment he was found.

There was also news that The Golden Crow was taking action. It was flying south swiftly and might even be the first to find Chu Feng.

Many beast race members were mobilized and began to act in secret.

After the battle of the previous night, there was no longer any need for further propagation. All the king level entities were now certain that Chu Feng possessed a peerless breathing technique.

There was no other way a dying man would be able to erupt with such power and start a massacre.

Although this battle had added greatly to Chu Feng’s fame, it also caused many people to began eyeing his mysterious inheritance.

There was even news of those beast race members who had established their own mountains and sects were being tempted to head south!

One had to know that these were all experts with six severed shackles!

A sudden tempest had erupted!

This kind of news shook all the king level entities. Who wouldn’t want to be a part of this? If they could find Chu Feng before the others and force the breathing technique out of him, they might become a local hegemon.

The world was about to go through another bout of upheavals. They would be able to add a powerful hidden ace to their arsenal if they could obtain this peerless breathing technique. It would definitely pave their way to a more efficient evolution.

"I’ll cripple anyone who dares to trouble my brother!"

The black yak roared from Tibet. They received this news only after their flight landed. They wanted to hijack the plane and fly back to the east in due haste.

They were, fortunately, able to hold back in the end. They contacted Lu Tong and had his people arrange a swift flight for them.

At the same time, the two oxen contacted Kunlun and requested their allies to help out.

"Dammit! This grandpa tiger won’t forgive anyone who dares bully my brother!" The Siberian Tiger stepped out with deceitfully glowing eyes. "That breathing technique is my brother’s. Are you all looking to die?!"

The idiot had always been lacking in morals. His declaration was mostly because he was drooling over that breathing technique.

The great demons of Kunlun also rose up in succession to express their intention to head east. They all claimed Chu Feng to be their brother and dared anyone to try and touch him if they wanted to die so badly.

Doubtlessly, Kunlun was a terrifying power that couldn’t be ignored. Their declaration shook the whole of Eastern China!

Very soon, the Old Grandmaster of Wudang announced that he would head due south and deal with all the beast races that want to harm Chu Feng, apparently referring to experts like the Golden Crow.

The masters of the Eight Visions and Roaming Jade Temple also stood out to address the Peacock King, the Golden Crow, and the Nine-lives Cat. They stated that they wouldn’t mind decimating and rooting out all mountains occupied by the beast races if they truly wanted to resort to murder.

Suddenly, the whole world was deprived of peace and became embroiled in huge waves.

"Ha, how interesting. All these major powers can no longer sit still. Does this man surnamed Chu really have a peerless breathing technique? Is it even more powerful than the one hidden within the Xingyi Twelve Forms?" A certain white-robed man smiled.

He was confident because his version of the Xingyi Fist was the original manual recorded on beast skin and not those circulating in the outside world.

Furthermore, there was a hidden breathing technique recorded in the manual.

Beside him was a handsome and oddly charming three-eyed man who was laughing coldly. "So many marine race experts have already gone ashore. It’s about time they make their move and hunt down Chu Feng."

"Really? Then I think I’ll also pay a visit!" The white-robed man’s eyes were pervaded by a mysterious radiance. He was also about to make his move.
