Chapter 963, Chen Feng

Translator: Silavin

 

*Rumble…*

 

As the Black energy rolled, thunderous roars echoed between Heaven and Earth. The entire region darkened. Though it was still daytime, it was like night.

 

Black energy covered the sky and obscured the sun, as if even sunlight was being devoured. It was incomparably terrifying.

 

From a distance, the entire swampland belt looked like an incomparably massive monster rolling, roaring, and devouring everything.

 

Qin Yichen’s group retreated another hundred kilometres.

 

If not for his insistence on staying to observe, everyone would have long left this place.

 

This region had left an extremely profound shadow on them. They did not want to linger here even for a moment.

 

However, as time progressed, more changes gradually occurred…

 

The Black energy seemed to no longer disperse, but rather gathered and converged towards where Prison Dragon Slope was located.

 

As the Black energy concentrated towards Prison Dragon Slope, the ground previously corroded by Black energy was revealed.

 

The vast earth was devoid of even a blade of grass, completely black. The entire surface was corroded and riddled with holes, without any sign of vitality.

 

What had originally been a Spirit Vein land had now become a wasteland!

 

[Is it trying to corrode the seal?] Qin Yichen’s eyes suddenly narrowed, and urgency rose in his heart.

 

If he did not retrieve that Myriad Dao Divine Armour piece before the Black energy corroded the seal, there was a strong possibility that the armour piece would be invaded by Black energy once more.

 

When that happened, everything Master Lu Ban had done would become futile.

 

However, Feng Qianxue clutched the corner of his robe, clearly worried he would act impulsively.

 

[Must I just watch helplessly as this continues?] Qin Yichen sighed, feeling somewhat helpless.

 

Actually, with the Master Craftsman’s Hammer and his arm guards, he was not afraid of the Black energy invasion at all. However, Feng Qianxue had witnessed Fei Yunxiao and the others’ miserable deaths, leaving too profound a shadow.

 

Just then, a playful voice drifted over…

 

“What a coincidence, Sacred Master Candidate Mu, and… Sacred Master Candidate Qin.”

 

Hearing this voice, Mu Yanfeng’s expression changed dramatically. He looked in a certain direction, and suddenly his pupils dilated sharply. “Chen Feng!”

 

In the distance, three figures rapidly approached. One of them was precisely the Radiance Sacred Land’s Sacred Master Candidate… Chen Feng!

 

The other two were both Peak Stage Martial Ancestors!

 

Qin Yichen’s expression also changed.

 

Chen Feng was a ruthless character!

 

Immediately, Qin Yichen instinctively moved to stand in front of Feng Qianxue.

 

*Hehe!…* Chen Feng hovered in mid-air. Looking at Mu Yanfeng and Qin Yichen’s dramatically changed expressions, he let out a bone-chilling laugh and said to Qin Yichen, “This time, Sacred Master Candidate Qin, you can’t escape, can you?”

 

“Chen Feng, you dare!?” Mu Yanfeng rebuked angrily, though appearing somewhat flustered. “If you dare touch him, even if you flee to the ends of the earth, the Sacred Master will strike you down!”

 

With two Peak Stage Martial Ancestors beside Chen Feng, while on their side there was only Mu Enxiong, a Late Stage Martial Ancestor, how could they resist?

 

“You mean that Yu Qianqiu?” Chen Feng grinned, appearing quite vicious. “He’ll only know that his Sacred Land’s two Sacred Master Candidates perished here for a treasure.”

 

He pointed at that region pervaded by Black energy.

 

“This is bad!” Mu Yanfeng’s heart immediately sank.

 

Chen Feng was clearly planning to silence all witnesses. No one here would survive.

 

Obviously, Chen Feng’s appearance here was not coincidental. He’d likely been following them since they left the Sacred Land, merely seeking the optimal moment to strike.

 

And now was precisely that optimal moment!

 

Because people could verify that Mu Yanfeng and Qin Yichen had entered Prison Dragon Slope. And Yu Qianqiu would not have imagined that Chen Feng had truly developed such murderous intent towards Qin Yichen.

 

Of course, Chen Feng’s killing of Qin Yichen was not to satisfy a desire for slaughter, but primarily to appease the Radiance Sacred Master.

 

The Radiance Sacred Master was no fool. The incident at Saints City had clearly made him suspicious of Chen Feng.

 

Chen Feng now brought these two Radiance Sacred Land experts along precisely to dispel the Radiance Sacred Master’s doubts about him.

 

He did not want to die young!

 

“How about it? I chose quite a nice burial ground for you, didn’t I?”

 

Following Chen Feng’s signal, the two Peak Stage Martial Ancestors beside him moved, hovering in two other directions. The three formed a triangle.

 

Clearly, they would not let anyone escape.

 

“Chen Feng, you shameless wretch!” Mu Yanfeng’s battle intent surged, his Momentum spreading. Secretly, however, he transmitted to Mu Enxiong, “Eldest Uncle, you must get Junior Brother Qin out, otherwise I’ll die with unresolved grievances!”

 

Having spoken, he soared into the air, charging at Chen Feng.

 

“Hold him off!” However, Chen Feng showed no intention of engaging him personally. At his word, one of the Peak Stage Martial Ancestors blocked Mu Yanfeng’s path.

 

“Damn it!” Mu Yanfeng struck repeatedly, but was deflected by that Peak Stage Martial Ancestor.

 

Clearly, this person was not just any ordinary Peak Stage Martial Ancestor. He was at least an Elder from Radiance Sacred Land!

 

“Qin Yichen, I told you I’d kill you with my own hands.” Chen Feng completely ignored Mu Yanfeng’s furious curses, walking step by step towards Qin Yichen.

 

Originally, he had approached like a cat-toying-with-mouse mentality, wanting to see Qin Yichen’s panicked appearance. However, to his disappointment, Qin Yichen watched him calmly throughout.

 

“I will return those words to you.” Qin Yichen’s tone was calm as he too walked step by step towards Chen Feng.

 

Since it could not be avoided, there was only battle.

 

His Spiritual Energy had already advanced to the Heaven Grade. He was not necessarily without any capability to fight!

 

However, he was worried about Feng Qianxue.

 

“Little Hui, help me protect her. Afterwards, I’ll let your Old Mother live a hundred years!”

 

Before leaving, he said to the still simple-minded Chen Hui.

 

“A hundred years?” Chen Hui’s eyes immediately brightened. His palm-leaf-sized hand slapped his chest resoundingly. “Leave it to me!”

 

“Big Brother Yichen!” Feng Qianxue called out worriedly.

 

“Don’t worry, he can’t kill me.” Qin Yichen smiled at her, then walked towards Chen Feng without looking back.

 

“Ants, don’t think about running. Whoever runs, he dies first!”

 

As the Mu Family members and those experts stirred, the remaining Peak Stage Martial Ancestor descended with his pressure, pressing down on everyone until they could barely straighten their backs.

 

“What should we do…” Watching Qin Yichen walk towards Chen Feng, Mu Enxiong felt extremely anxious. However, he knew that if he moved, he would definitely attract an attack from the Peak Stage Martial Ancestor above. Then things would only become worse.

 

Standing before Qin Yichen, Chen Feng seemed in no hurry to strike. “What a pity. After today, there’ll only be one!”
