Everlasting Chapter 788 Trouble Comes Knocking (1/2)

811'>

On one particular day, a high-level Human Immortal finally decided to attack Chen Feng while he was still inside Void City.

Chen Feng was inside his courtyard, drinking wine and chatting with the Human Immortals from the Xu Family when a grand, ocean-like aura abruptly descended to envelop Chen Feng and the two Human Immortals.

“Who? Who dares come create trouble in our Void City?!” one of the Xu Family cultivators shouted.

During the past few days, the Human Immortals from the Xu Family had received a great deal of benefits from Chen Feng. All else aside, just the wine that they were drinking had essence of the ocean mixed within them. This was also the reason why they liked coming over to drink wine with Chen Feng.

“No matter how loudly you shout, it is useless. Outsiders are unaware of what is happening here.” An old man with a white beard appeared before the three of them.

“Sir, you are?” the Human Immortals asked warily.

The aura emanating out from the old man was as deep as the ocean. Divine senses and even gazes would end up getting absorbed after making contact with his body. There was simply no way to determine his cultivation state.

“Who I am is not important. I am here for him.” The old man looked at Chen Feng.

“So, it's a high-level Human Immortal,” Chen Feng said smilingly.

Truth be told, the moment Chen Feng saw the old man, he already knew why the old man would choose to take action. For the average humans, growing old, falling sick and dying was simply a matter of course. The same was true for cultivators. Only, due to their cultivation base, cultivators were able to magnify their life span to a seemingly-infinite scale. Add their skills and magic powers to the equation, most cultivators would choose to maintain a youthful or prime appearance.

If a cultivator possessed an aged appearance, it could either mean that the cultivator simply liked that appearance or his life span was already on the verge of reaching its end.

For the old man, it was the latter. Although he seemed to possess a ruddy complexion and a st.u.r.dy physical body, Chen Feng was able to detect traces of death energy around him. Most likely, this old man did not even have another 100 years of life span left in him.

For the average human, 100 years was a lifetime. For cultivators, however, especially those with high cultivation levels, that was just the amount of time they would spend on a cultivation retreat.

The reason he is here is because he wants to get some spiritual objects from me to prolong his life span. This is the Xu Family's territory. For him to recklessly take action against me like this, he must truly be desperate, Chen Feng thought.

“Kid, just come with me.” The old man ignored the two Human Immortals. Instead, he stretched his hand to grasp in Chen Feng's direction.

His grasping move contained worldly powers and immortal dao laws. Even the act of breaking s.p.a.ce might not allow Chen Feng to avoid it.

And yet, Chen Feng managed to avoid it. Two steps. Displaying two steps, Chen Feng evaded the old man's grasping move.

“Eh, how is this possible? You could actually evade my attack? That's, an immortal technique!” The old man's eyes shone and he wanted to continue attacking. Generally speaking, a high-level Human Immortal would easily be able to capture a starter-level Human Immortal. And yet, that move from him had missed. Due to that, he ended up feeling embarra.s.sed.

Boom!

A clump of b.l.o.o.d.y light encased Chen Feng. The Blood Mustering Bead in his hand kept rotating and the power of blood fluctuated as grand dao powers broke apart the restrictive arrays that the old man had set up around the courtyard.

The Xu Family Human Immortals then flashed to re-appear somewhere far away. However, they kept their eyes trained on Chen Feng and the old man, shock etched on their faces.

“Grand dao powers! That's a Dao artefact!” The old man's eyes shone again.

“Looks like you will be unwilling to follow me unless I use some of my skills.” The old man then waved his hand and a staff appeared in his grasp. The grand dao powers emanating from it proved that it was also a Dao artefact.

“You dare put on airs here in our Void City? It doesn't matter who you are, you're a dead man!” The Human Immortals had already started calling for reinforcements. This was the Xu Family's headquarters, after all. No matter how powerful this old man may be, he would be incapable of dealing with them.

Seeing what the Human Immortals from the Xu Family were doing, the old man's face contorted. Truth be told, if it weren't for his expiring life span, he would not have chosen to attack Chen Feng in Void City.

“Kid, since you don't know how to appreciate kindness, don't blame me for being rude!” After saying that, the old man attacked Chen Feng with the staff.

“It's just a low-grade Dao artefact.” Chen Feng waved his hand and the Blood Mustering Bead in his hand abruptly shone to emit blood-coloured, watery, ripple-like waves.

There was a total of nine blood-coloured ripples. Each ripple was capable of unravelling 10% of the power behind the old man's attack. Thus, the nine ripples were enough to unravel practically all the power behind the attack.

Woah! Woah!

That one exchange ended up incinerating the small courtyard that Chen Feng was staying in. That was despite the restrictive arrays protecting it. If it weren't for the restrictive arrays, the clash between the two Dao artefacts would have caused the entire Void City to shake as well.

“Heh! If you blow up Void City, you will likely end up dying on the spot. There will be no need to think of ways to extend your life span anymore,” Chen Feng said smilingly.

“Kid, just hand over your Dawnsource Crystal Water and I will leave immediately.” The old man sent Chen Feng a secret vocal transmission.

“Heh!” Chen Feng knew not whether to laugh or to cry.

“Even if you destroy the entire Void City, would I care? Besides, just because you want the Dawnsource Crystal Water, I must hand it over to you? Is there such a good thing in this world?” Chen Feng responded with a burst of laughter.

“What do you want then?” the old man hastily asked.

“No matter what, you must bring out something that is of equal value to the Dawnsource Crystal Water. Naturally, that would also depend on whether or not I am interested in it.” Chen Feng laughed again. At the same time, he also brought out the Lightning Bead, wielding it with his other hand.
