Chapter 327: A Top-Grade Confrontation

Translator: Alsey Editor: Chrissy

People were all astonished. Kong Sheng was a king level entity with five severed shackles and possessed extraordinary strength. But at this moment, he was immobile like a pool of mud.

What situation was this? Kong Sheng had only received a few slaps from Chu Feng before collapsing like this.

"Get up, stop pretending to be dead." Chu Feng looked down at him and gave him a few kicks impatiently.

The peacock race was inherently beautiful. Both men and women were rarely ever ugly. They possessed tall figures and jade-like countenances which stood them apart from the crowd. Many ladies felt inferior compared to them.

But now, Kong Sheng’s fair and lustrous face was black, blue and full of shoeprints. Any spectator would feel a heartache, but Chu Feng wasn’t the least courteous as he stomped down several times. Even a king level entity was badly battered.

Some young beast race ladies were heartbroken after seeing the previously handsome and elegant Kong Sheng being stepped underfoot within the blink of an eye. The contrast was simply too big.

"You’re the Peacock King’s grandson? Too weak! When I attacked your grandpa, he was still able to exchange a few moves with me before running away. You’re truly useless! How come you fainted out of fright just from seeing me? It’s meaningless giving you a lesson this way."

Chu Feng shook his head as he spoke. He seemed quite dissatisfied.

No one present knew what to say because the scene was simply too bizarre. One had to know that Kong Sheng had mobilized many people before blocking Chu Feng’s path. He was full of confidence because he knew Chu Feng had been crippled and wanted to teach the latter a lesson. In the blink of an eye, he was the one being beaten violently in the end.

Chu Feng crouched down and dragged Kong Sheng up before slapping him several times. The handsome Kong Sheng was now swollen like a pig and unbearable to look at.

"This... I think my eyes are blurry!" someone whispered nearby. He couldn’t accept this outcome at all. How was a crippled man beating a king level expert?

They noticed that the glowing magnetic stones in the grass had an astonishing effect. It affected Kong Sheng’s group and made them fail miserably.

Thump!

Chu Feng kicked Kong Sheng far away as if he was tossing a sack of rags or a scarecrow. He was so casual and violent that it made people’s hair stand on end.

"Kong Sheng, a late rising star of the outstanding talents ranking, claimed to be one of great potential. Someone like that is being assaulted like that. This is... too unbearable."

An old king level expert entered the island and happened to witness this scene. He was so shocked that he accidentally tore a part of his beard. He was flabbergasted and could only mumble to himself.

He was truly shocked!

Jiang Luoshen’s beautiful eyes were moved. She herself was quite astonished because she hadn’t expected such an outcome.

"Lamentable Kong Sheng!"

The others all seemed as if they had just woken up from a dream. This felt truly bizarre.

Kong Sheng was recently on the rise and possessed great potential. He was claimed to be the second Peacock King. But as soon as he revealed himself at such an important meeting, he was already being pummeled. He would be unable to wash away this stain no matter how great his future accomplishments were.

"Everyone, just as I have said before, I’ve been studying weapons lately. Giving Kong Sheng a lesson is only a small interlude in displaying my weapon nurturing domain. What do you all think of the effects?" Chu Feng took out a dagger while speaking. Everyone could see strands of energy condensing and entering the dagger visibly.

Everyone revealed odd expressions—this fellow was too cruel. Such an introduction did attract a lot of attention, but Kong Sheng’s fate was simply too tragic. He had been reduced to a wall in the background.

It would be fine if this weapon nurturing domain became obscure and unknown, but if it was proven effective and became famous, many people would mention how it was announced. At that time, Kong Sheng would be absolutely miserable.

Thump! Thump! Thump...

Chu Feng didn’t stop his steps because those who had accompanied Kong Sheng were also collapsed on the ground. All of them were trampled upon madly, each of them bleeding from their nose and mouth. Their eyes were like dumplings and, within moments, all of them had become pig-headed demons.

All of this was naturally related to the domain. The soul loss symbol on the magnetic stone had exerted a critical effect.

The scenery on another island was fairly graceful. Everyone here was an expert. All were king level entities with six severed shackles.

The grass here was like a cushion and the flowers were diverse. It was simply akin to an otherworldly peach garden. Some old trees were blooming with lustrous flowers and suffused with clear fragrance.

There were many jade tables laid down close to the lake surging with auspicious purple mists. A group of king level entities was sitting on the ground discussing matters.

Someone delivered a secret message, whereupon, the Peacock King’s pupils constricted. He shot up immediately and left.

At the same time, the Wudang Grandmaster also left his seat and followed suit.

Everyone was astonished. What had happened?

Very soon, the Hollow Jade Temple Master also received reports. He looked towards the other island across the lake with an astonished expression. Never did he expect Chu Feng would dare to act so aggressively.

He had long since known that Chu Feng has arrived, but he had thought that the latter was only here to show his face for a while. He thought Chu Feng wouldn’t be so confident and vigorous as in the past.

In truth, someone had advised him to invite Chu Feng to this side. The Hollow Jade Temple Master didn’t comment back then and seemed to favor the wishes of the corporations. But now, it seemed Chu Feng just couldn’t stop drawing attention wherever he was.

The supreme kings on this island all received the news in succession. They understood that Chu Feng had arrived and was showing off his might by teaching the Peacock King’s successor a lesson.

Suddenly, the top-grade experts present all revealed odd expressions. Their emotions were complicated.

Who didn’t know Chu Feng? He actually dared to appear here and also made a move without the slightest hesitation. This surprised them deeply.

"Since Chu Feng has arrived and he was once a top-grade expert, why not invite him here and let him meet everyone?" someone advised.

"You have a point!" Some people nodded with smiles. Among them were people from the corporations and marine race experts. Many were Chu Feng’s enemies.

They felt that it would be good to invite Chu Feng over now that he had been crippled. They believed that no matter how the latter performed, he wouldn’t be able to create any waves because he was already someone to look down upon.

Some of them were delighted at his plight and wanted him to experience the difference from his past. They wanted him to understand the taste of falling into the abyss from high in the sky and that he was no longer the mighty Demon King Chu.

Upon arrival, the Peacock King happened to hear Chu Feng sighing emotionally while shaking his head.

"Killing and fighting have no meaning." Chu Feng even revealed a disdainful expression while speaking.

However, a murderous gleam emerged from the Peacock King’s eyes after seeing the group on the ground.

Everyone on the ground, including Kong Sheng, was extremely miserable. They were beaten until their faces and bodies were swollen unrecognizably.

Just now, Chu Feng was smashing them wildly with the purple gold lightning hammer. Their bones and tendons were broken while their bodies were charred black. They probably wouldn’t be able to move even after recovering.

The Peacock King was poised to kill. Was this the so-called meaningless fighting and killing?

The people in the surrounding had long since retreated after seeing the Peacock King arrive. They were apprehensive because they knew something big was about to ensue.

Boom!

The Peacock King raised his hand and to slap Chu Feng to death. He had no qualms about killing the other party because they had deep enmity between them. Even if he were to be encircled and suppressed later on, he wasn’t afraid.

Chu Feng had long since noticed the Peacock King. The magnetic stones around him lit up and filled the air with a hazy mist before completely disappearing.

Thump!

However, without Chu Feng needing to activate his domain, the old grandmaster had grabbed the Peacock King’s palm and dissipated all the energy.

"If you dare to touch him, I’ll wipe out your entire peacock race," said the old grandmaster with a solemn expression. This surprised everyone nearby because this elder was rarely fierce. But now that he had spoken, they definitely weren’t just empty words.

"Heh, old grandmaster, aren’t you being overconfident? We will definitely kill him today. What will you do about it?" It was at this time that a man approached from about a kilometer away from the island. His steps were agile and silent.

"Nine-lives Cat, you’re actually alive!" Chu Feng shivered internally after seeing this middle-aged man and his eyes turned cold. Back then, he was ambushed by the Nine-lives Cat and the Golden Crow King. He fought back with all his might, destroying half of the Nine-lives Cat’s body and breaking his neck. Any other person would’ve died already.

The Golden Crow had escaped with the Nine-lives Cat’s remaining body that day. Today, the cat had appeared once again!

"It’s said that cats have nine lives. I thought those were just rumors." Chu Feng sighed.

"Chu Feng, thanks to you I lost one life. By the time I recovered, my close friend, the Golden Crow King, had also been killed by you at Hollow Jade Temple. I’ll definitely avenge these grievances!" the Nine-lives Cat said coldly.

He himself was killed once and his savior the Golden Crow King was also slaughtered later on. This made him feel hatred and anger in equal measures.

"A defeated general and someone who had been killed once also dares bluster before me? I’m standing right here. Come kill me if you dare!" Chu Feng stood there without any change in expression.

This time everyone was astonished. The Nine-lives cat and the Peacock King had arrived. Kong Sheng’s group simply couldn’t compare to these top-grade kings.

The Nine-lives Cat laughed as he looked down on Chu Feng. "You’ve already become a cripple, but after learning a few domain techniques, you think you can trap a super king level entity? I’ll let you understand that external forces and items are just illusions. Everything depends on personal strength. Otherwise, in the end, you’ll be like a rootless duckweed or a moon reflected in the lake. Killing you will be as easy as flipping one’s palms!"

The Ninelives Cat was extraordinary. He seemed to understand domains.

He wore a contemptuous expression as he walked over with his hands behind his back. However, he was surging with a murderous intent which stirred all the experts near Lake Xuanwu. This was the strength of an extreme expert—his energy was unfathomably vast.

Everyone was shocked out of their wits as they glanced at Chu Feng. They recalled how he was able to suppress such a cat king in the past. What level of strength was that?

Then they saw his current crippled condition and felt the stark contrast. Now his life and death were in another person’s hand.

"Demon King Chu is indeed extraordinary!" Someone sighed.

Chu Feng spoke, "Defeated general, you feel that you can roam the world, devouring the qi of the mountains and rivers? Why don’t you recall how miserably you escaped back then. I’ll sit here today and see how you’ll kill me."

Chu Feng issued a challenge. Some magnetic stones on his body turned into flowing light and disappeared into the grass. Both the stones he had placed earlier and the ones shot out now had already disappeared. Additionally, the whole area was rumbling.

Obviously, a stronger domain had formed. After those magnetic stones entered the ground, they began to change positions and hide on their own as if they were alive.

"Just as I said, these are all petty tricks in the face of absolute strength. These broken things can’t stop me if I want to kill you!" The Nine-lives Cat entered the island and began to approach.

The people sighed lightly and couldn’t help but agree deeply. Everyone else was empty apart from personal strength. Even if Chu Feng had grasped the art of domains, he would still be helpless against an extreme expert. His fate was no longer in his hands.

"Nine-lives Cat, if you act tyrannically today, I’ll also massacre your race," the old grandmaster shouted as he turned to face both the Ninelives Cat and the Peacock King.

"Heh, the only reason I exited my isolation is to kill him. Now that I’ve found him, I’ll definitely not let him off. I won’t be threatened!" the Nine-lives Cat replied coldly.

A beam of golden light rushed over carrying a majestic aura and energy fluctuations akin to the tides. Many people almost collapsed on the ground as a golden-haired man suddenly appeared. His eyes lit up as he landed on the ground.

"The Golden-Winged Roc King!" someone cried in surprise.

"I want to see who dares to touch Chu Feng. Try taking one more step closer and I’ll kill you right away!" the Roc King spoke. His whole body was flowing with golden splendor and emanating an intimidating aura.

Clang!

A sword flew through the air like a resplendent divine rainbow. That was a flying knife. It tore through the sky and shot down at extreme speeds.

Following which, a white crane landed on the ground and looked down at the Nine-lives Cat and the Peacock King. He said nothing, but his stance was obvious.

These were top-grade experts. All of them were illustrious kings standing off against one another. It would be a terrible scene if a battle truly took place between them. All of this was because of Chu Feng.

People sighed lightly. The effects of the battle at Mount Longhu was simply too great. Chu Feng had saved all these extreme experts and now these people were exerting their might against anyone who had evil intentions towards him.

The experts on the other island had all sensed the powerful energy fluctuations. Despite the great distance, their divine instincts were able to grasp the rough situation.

"Interesting, let’s go and see." Some people rose.

"Since it is so, let’s all go together," the Hollow Jade Temple Master spoke.

The king level experts from the corporations and the marine race experts all revealed smiling expressions as they stood up. They wanted to see how Chu Feng, who had fallen from the sky and into the abyss, would interact with the super king level entities.
