Chapter 164: Facing the Yao King (2/2)

“Pierce!”

The four of them unleashed powerful attacks at the same time. That was especially true of Chen Feng. He kept the Overwhelming Astral Sword and instead focused all his power into the blood-coloured lance. A bloody light glowed across the surface of the blood-coloured lance in his hand and two faint, blood-coloured words appeared upon the surface of the lance.

So, this lance’s name is Bloody Soul. It truly deserves this name, thought Chen Feng.

After Chen Feng successfully stimulated its name, the demonic artefact’s power grew even stronger and a glimmer of hope ignited within Chen Feng’s heart.

However, that little hope was once again obliterated. A flaming tail shot out with lighting-like speed to send the lance flying away from Chen Feng’s hand.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Three more banging sounds rang out in quick succession and the other three fellows’ magic treasures were knocked away from them.

Nine flaming tails hovered in the sky and the immense pressure made it so the four of them found themselves incapable of even breathing.

“So, it is actually a Nine-tailed Fox. No wonder it is so powerful.” Tower’s voice rang out within Chen Feng’s mind.

“Nine-tailed Fox?” Chen Feng asked.

“It is also the strongest amongst the fox yaos. Tsk, tsk. To think that a Nine-tailed Fox is being suppressed here. However, it would appear that three of its tails had been cut. Additionally, after getting sealed for so long, it has long since lost the power of a Yao King. As it is, it is just at the Great Yao stage,” Tower said.

“Do you have any confidence in defeating it?” The glimmer of hope shone once more within Chen Feng’s heart.

“Absolutely not.” Tower gave a most direct reply.

With their weapons knocked away, Chen Feng and the others were no longer capable of resisting. The fire fox then extended its tails to gather up all their weapons. Next, it howled, releasing a powerful soundwave, which caused a spatial passageway to open up.

Shua!

The fire fox brought the four of them through the passageway and into the space where the Nine-tailed Fox’s true body was at. Finally, Chen Feng and the others were able to meet the fire fox face-to-face.

Instantly, the four of them were astounded. They had never seen such a massive yao beast before.

Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa!

The four of them were tossed on the ground and the smaller six-tailed fox transformed into a clump of flames to flow into the massive fire fox’s body.

It truly is a clone. Chen Feng considered.

Although it was still suppressed, this was the Nine-tailed Fox’s territory and it was not afraid that Chen Feng and the others could flee.

“You three aren’t dead yet? Impressive,” Evil Moon Grotto Master said with a sneer after seeing Mo Xigui’s team of three.

“Not as impressive as the four of you.” Mo Xigui and the other two cultivators felt awkward. Finally, they simply replied with a calm voice.

“How unexpected. Someone from Sword Hall is working together with a witch. Hey, hey, if word of this gets out, not even Sword Hall can protect you,” Evil Moon Grotto Master continued with an icy tone.

“You don’t need to concern yourself with this. You fellows should just worry about how to stay alive,” Mo Xigui said coolly.

“In that case, I will kill you first.” Evil Moon Grotto Master waved his hand and a large palm silhouette charged towards Mo Xigui.

Despite losing his Sky Toppling Seal, his cultivation base at the perfect sea of wisdom was enough to let him kill off Mo Xigui.

Bang!

A clump of flames shot out from the Nine-tailed Fox’s body to shatter the large palm silhouette. Next, the fox opened up a small gap on its mouth and a formidable suction force enveloped Evil Moon Grotto Master. No matter how hard Evil Moon Grotto Master struggled, he could not change the outcome of getting devoured.

He could not change the outcome in the slightest. Evil Moon Grotto Master, a cultivator who was on the verge of cultivating up to the Sky Human stage was thus devoured.

Chen Feng, Xiao Yin and the old cultivator were terrified. An intense feeling of crisis rose from their souls.

“Tower, will I end up getting devoured?” Chen Feng hastily asked.

“It is possible.” Even Tower’s voice contained anxiousness. He was not quite fully prepared to fight against the Yao King.

“Eh?”

The Nine-tailed Fox suddenly turned to look at Chen Feng. Its torch-like eyes regarded Chen Feng from top to bottom.

Not good, he noticed! Chen Feng was shocked and he stopped talking to Tower.

Tower too, grew silent, transforming the Longevity Tower into a minute speck. Although the Longevity Tower was inside a unique space within Chen Feng’s glabella, Tower was still feeling somewhat concerned. The Longevity Tower had yet to recover its power. Thus, its ability to hide itself may not suffice against the probing of this Yao King.

“Kid, it seems there is something hidden inside your body.” The Nine-tailed Fox revealed a pondering expression.

Chen Feng had already condensed out his Soulflame despite only being at level 2 of the Concealed stage. However, the Nine-tailed Fox was a Yao King who had lived through who knows how many years. Chen Feng’s accomplishments was nothing strange to it.

At that very moment, the fire fox had sensed that there was something puzzling within Chen Feng’s body. However, it could not discern the specifics of that thing.

“Lord Yao King, surely it is beneath someone like you to kill a minor character like me?” Chen Feng forced himself to speak up, but his heart was palpitating with unease.

Even if he were to put his life on the line, this was not an existence that he could hope to fight off. Even if Chen Feng had already cultivated up to the Sky Human stage, it would still be hopeless.

“Forget it. Since I cannot see what it is, I will just eat you up.” After saying that, the Nine-tailed Fox exerted yet another suction force using its mouth, which enveloped Chen Feng.

Tower, are you still not going to take action? Chen Feng shouted inwardly.

“I don’t have any confidence at all. Fine, we will have to give it our all.” There was a grave tone within Tower’s words. At the same time, Chen Feng could sense the Longevity Tower within his glabella moving. It appeared as though the tower would fly out at any moment.

Suddenly, a disturbance occurred at the top of the mountain, the very mountain that was suppressing the Nine-tailed Fox. Ray after ray of golden light suddenly burst out from the peak, like a sun exploding within the human world.

After that, the entire mountain shook and the resulting energy currents sent Chen Feng and the others flying.

“Argh!”

Mo Ji shrieked as her figure was blasted away from the mountain. Just as her figure was about to smash into the ground, the elder who hurriedly rushed down extended his hand to grab her. After the two of them landed on the ground, they kept backing away to reduce the overpowering force bombarding them.

“It seems someone has made contact with the suppressing talisman atop the mountain,” said Tower, who was in shock. He then retracted the power that he had just been channelling.
