Chapter 398: Capturing a Saintess

Translator: Alsey Editor: Chrissy

Chu Feng’s gaze turned even more oblique after hearing this. This was a classic toad style glance which he had been seriously infected with.

Huang Weiyue was smiling at first but her face soon turned stiff after finding that she was actually being looked upon askance. The other party had actually responded in such a way.

Was he looking down on her?

In truth, she was actually mocking him deep down despite speaking with a smile. She just didn’t express it on the surface.

But now she had suddenly realized that the other party was treating her in such a manner.

"What is the meaning of this?!" A being nearby spoke up, apparently annoyed by Chu Feng’s sidelong glance. He appeared rather sinister with his entirely red body and a row of bone spikes on his back.

"My apologies. My eyes aren’t feeling well recently," Chu Feng said with an interesting look.

The entity that had spoken just now could be considered to be from the human race. He quite resembled a human apart from the dark red skin and bony spikes growing out of his back.

"Don’t tell me you guys are descenders?" asked Chu Feng.

"Ha, you’re right. Now follow us and we won’t let your talents go to waste," Huang Weiyue smiled. However, she had already sentenced him to death in her mind and was certain he wouldn’t have a good ending.

At this time, Chu Feng seemed quite harmless despite having severed his eighth shackle because he didn’t reveal his strength.

"To be honest, I am somewhat moved. But I don’t understand much about you and know nothing about that imperial prince. Can you give me an introduction?" Chu Feng smiled. He no longer glanced askance at them.

"You’ll know everything after you meet the prince." Han Wanze spoke at this moment with a calm expression.

Chu Feng felt a sense of familiarity after seeing Han Wanze. There was a young man called Han Fei from Deity Biomedicals who had once come to assassinate Chu Feng in secret but was killed instead.

That young man called Han Fei resembled Han Wenze quite a bit and also had the same red mark between his brows.

Chu Feng connected the dots instantly.

"Has the imperial prince crossed over?" Chu Feng asked curiously.

Han Wenze’s expression was calm but he glanced suspiciously at Chu Feng. He was somewhat cautious after finding that this young man was quite sharp and was already beginning to sound them out.

"Let’s go. I’ll take you to meet him," said Han Wenze.

Chu Feng made up many things to keep the conversation going. He wanted to squeeze more information out of them.

However, the group was quite tight-lipped. They only sneered and refused to divulge any valuable information.

"All of you should be descenders from 22 years ago, right? Have you all been sleeping at the Origin Magnetic Immortal Cave in the North Pole or near the qilin’s old lair?" asked Chu Feng.

He wasn’t really hoping for an answer, but he could still glean some information from their reactions.

"You’re too talkative!" The dark red man with spines on his back said coldly.

"I’m merely curious. Oh, and one more thing, is that dynasty of evolvers very powerful?" Chu Feng kept on firing questions.

Huang Weiyue replied with a smile, "Orthodoxies like that dynasty are beyond our imagination. Their prince is naturally dazzling and capable of achieving supreme evolution to become a man above all men. It’s your honor to be able to follow such a person."

Chu Feng was no longer in the mood for further probing because he was disgusted and full of loathing at this point.

"Let’s go and have an audience with His Majesty the Prince," said Han Wenze.

Chu Feng felt deep hatred after hearing these words but acted hesitantly on the surface.

After seeing this, Huang Weiyue’s eyes narrowed and the corners of her lips rose into a mocking smile. She was, after all, veiled and thus wasn’t afraid the other party would notice.

"How troublesome. Let’s just bring him away," that dark red entity with bony spikes spoke.

"Very well, I’ll go with you and see." Chu Feng walked forward.

After taking a few steps, however, he erupted to his peak state and suddenly launched an attack.

Chu Feng was so fast that these people didn’t have time to even react. Sands and dust flew up amidst the terrifying sonic boom. He utilized the Demon Ox Fist and blasted towards the spiked entity.

This person roared in fury and astonishment as he raised his hand to slap forward. At the same time its back began to glow and the bone spikes were about to fly out to pierce Chu Feng’s body.

However, Chu Feng’s fist was extremely fast and merciless. This preemptive strike was launched to kill in a single blow. How could he give him the chance to retaliate?

Bang!

The fist was too tyrannical and had materialized into a true form. A black yak charged out from his fist seal and strode forward with its head held high. It seemed to be treading through galaxy surrounded by brilliant stars.

Pfft!

The fist broke the entity’s right arm, pierced through his chest and immediately tore him into pieces. The man then exploded into a mist of bloody liquid.

"So weak!" Chu Feng spoke.

This was an entity with eight severed shackles and was at the same level as himself. But he had directly torn the enemy apart.

Apart from Han Wenze and Huang Weiyue, there was also another silver-horned man and a

middle-aged man with a scorpion tail.

Now, these four people moved together, each making their own move to bombard Chu Feng.

Swoosh!

Like a specter, Chu Feng charged out of the encirclement through the gap he had made just now and ran back towards Mount Zhijin.

That was because their location was too close to Jiangning. If he really erupted at full power in battle, it might affect the people within the city.

"Where do you think you’re going!?" The four shouted as they followed suit. They were all descenders hailing from the qilin’s former lair. But they had lost a companion within the blink of an eye. This was simply too humiliating.

Chu Feng shivered after realizing that, except the eighth-shackle-severed one he just killed, the others were all at the level of nine severed shackles. This lineup was rather significant!

They really did think quite highly of him to come in such a group!

It would’ve been quite dangerous if he hadn’t broken through his eighth shackle within the Revered Eight Trigrams Furnace. Normally, no one would be able to withstand a joint attack from such a group of extraterrestrials!

But Chu Feng wasn’t afraid at the moment. He was slightly weaker in evolutionary level compared to these people, but the difference in one level didn’t pose much of a problem for him.

He had been capable of contending with higher level evolvers all along.

He had mastered a powerful breathing technique and his constitution was extremely optimal, making his combat strength superior.

So much so that Chu Feng suspected that this trend would become even more shocking as his constitution improved continuously.

"Chu Feng you really should die!" Huang Weiyue’s expression was gloomy.

The air exploded as the group of experts chased after him at lightning speed.

"Halt!"

Han Wenze waved his hand and came to a halt. They didn’t continue chasing because they had actually arrived at Mount Zhijin. He was very cautious and feared Chu Feng would utilize domains.

Chu Feng stopped. He could now make his move without implicating the innocent because this place was already quite a distance from the city.

Many people within Jiangning had heard the previous commotion, especially when that expert died wretchedly. Currently, there were people heading over to this place.

"Chu Feng, you’ve made a big mistake. Come with us and ask for the heaven-chosen prince’s forgiveness," said Han Wenze.

In truth, he really wanted to slap Chu Feng to death and rid them of this trouble. But Mu Qing had asked them to capture Chu Feng alive and make him kneel before the prince.

Chu Feng replied, "I feel a sense of familiarity when I look at you. I once killed a person called Han Fei with a similar red mark on his forehead. I wonder what relationship he has with you?"

Han Wenze’s expression was incomparably gloomy because that was his illegitimate child on earth.

The red mark between their brows was a racial characteristic. It’s said that the higher one’s level becomes, the greater the might of the red mark.

"You’re courting death!" Han Wenze shouted loudly. He could hardly endure Chu Feng’s provocation regardless of whether he was concerned about Han Fei’s fate.

Chu Feng glanced sideways at them with a face full of smiles. He retreated a couple of steps and entered the domains of Mount Zhijin.

He wasn’t planning to make use of the geography here and just wanted to speak some more, but he lost the mood after seeing Han Wenze.

Chu Feng peered towards Huang Weiyue and said, "You’re a descender, so perhaps you can be considered a saintess."

Huang Weiyue wore a peculiar expression. How was this brat still in the mood for such questions even under such a situation?

"I guess you could say that within my tribe," she replied. Her tribe was very small and couldn’t be considered much compared to the other orthodoxies.

"Truly?" Chu Feng was astonished. Then... he made his move. He proactively left the Mount Zhijin domains and killed his way over.

Han Wenze’s eyes were cold and Huang Weiyue released her killing intent. As for the other two, they were even more agitated and went all out in order to capture Chu Feng alive.

But the four were absolutely shocked after a true exchange of blows. Chu Feng’s strength was too frightening; the impact had left them with their finger webs bleeding and their bodies shaken.

Earlier on, although they were surprised, they didn’t quite panic after the entity with eight severed shackles died. That was because they, themselves, could also do the same.

But now they were all apprehensive. What situation was this? How could he be so fierce even when the fight was four against one?

Bang!

After an intense exchange of blows, Chu Feng attacked like a thunderbolt and almost captured Huang Weiyue. With a rip, he tore off her sleeves and left bloody marks on her arm.

Boom!

Later on, he struck the man with the scorpion tail into retreating and beat the silver-horned man until he was coughing up large mouthfuls of blood.

Afterwards, Chu Feng rose into the sky and pounced towards Huang Weiyue with the intention of capturing her.

Human shadows flew in all directions. At the same time that Chu Feng pushed them back, he dashed forth and landed an explosive fist on Huang Weiyue’s body. This produced a big bloody hole on her body and made her cough up large amounts of blood. She was this close to being torn to pieces.

Her veil had also shattered. At the same time, she was captured by Chu Feng.

"Someone at this level... is also a saintess?" Chu Feng was astonished.

Huang Weiyue’s expression was one of extreme anger despite being captured.

"Shouldn’t saintesses look very young? I think you’re already 28 or even 38! You liar!"

His attitude almost made Huang Weiyue explode from anger. She was still a woman after all and despite not being young anymore she couldn’t endure being mocked for her age.

Suddenly, Chu Feng’s hair stood on end as he retreated rapidly with Huang Weiyue in tow.

Han Wenze had, at the critical moment, utilized their killing move. He had been waiting for the opportunity all this time—taking advantage of Chu Feng’s current distraction, he had tossed out the Soul-Binding Cord.

Since he sensed Chu Feng’s terrifying abilities, he knew that he had to rely on this secret weapon and turn things around at the right moment.

The Soul-Binding Cord looked just like a faintly golden but ordinary rope. It wasn’t very remarkable at first glance but after landing on the ground it moved rapidly on its own like a snake as it charged towards Chu Feng.

Most importantly, its speed was too fast.

Chu Feng was astonished—he had a feeling that it would be troublesome once he became entangled by that rope. This was a trump card!

Bang!

He tossed the "saintess" in his hand and threw her towards the odd rope.

Huang Weiyue screamed miserably as her whole body was slammed into the ground and onto the faint golden cord. She had been seriously injured.

The hemp rope, emitting a faint golden light, wrapped around her and immediately cut her body into two halves.

"Han Wenze!" She screamed in terror and fury.

Han Wenze’s head was drenched in cold sweat. The Soul-Binding Cord would automatically hunt down its target after deployment and couldn’t be controlled.

This hemp rope was like a special life form!

Swoosh!

The Soul-Binding Cord surged up once again after grinding apart Huang Weiyue and rushed towards Chu Feng like a bolt of lightning.

Chu Feng immediately used the diamond chakram because he had sensed that this hemp rope was a secret treasure. It was extremely evil and should have been refined by a powerhouse evolver.

This time, he didn’t shoot it out with full strength but with a certain technique. He activated the essence of extreme yang that it had absorbed.

Swoosh!

Flames danced as the dazzling essence of extreme yang erupted. The hemp cord was enveloped by the high-level form of energy and was inherently suppressed.

Pfft!

Immediately, the faint golden cord was burnt and broke into pieces.

"This..." Han Wenze was shocked. This weapon, which could supposedly suppress all at the shackled realm, had been destroyed just like that.

Boom!

The scene was terrifying. His flesh and blood first exploded and was then engulfed by the flames of extreme yang. With a swoosh, he had completely transformed into ash, eliminated in both body and soul.

This scene shocked Huang Weiyue out of her wits.

Bang!

Chu Feng rushed over and stomped down on her bloody upper body.

"No!" She screamed in terror.

However, everything was too late. She was shattered into several pieces under Chu Feng’s foot and died just like that.

Boom!

The next moment, Chu Feng brandished his fist. His blood energy surged to the skies like the raging sea and devoured the two remaining experts.

There was no suspense whatsoever.

Within moments, the man with the scorpion tail was blasted into a bloody mist.

"Don’t kill me!" The other man asked.

"Speak. You know what I’m about to ask," shouted Chu Feng.

Moments later, he also tore the silver-horned man to pieces.

Chu Feng felt that he hadn’t even used his full strength against this group of extraterrestrials with nine severed shackles. It was quite easy.

These were the effects of his evolution!

"I must evolve again. The qilin’s old lair should have divine fruits. I should take this opportunity to launch a raid and snatch them. I’ll then head to Mount Lao after another transformation!"
