Chapter 190: Suppress (1/2)
The ones standing before Chen Feng were none other than Zhao Qiang and Ma Wu. It was unknown when they had appeared. At that moment, they were silently standing two zhang away from Chen Feng, staring at him with cold expressions on their faces (1 zhang = 3.333 m).
Before the raindrops falling down from above could reach their bodies, an invisible and potent energy turned them to steam, which then disappeared into the wind.
“You knew we were coming?” Ma Wu looked at Chen Feng, seemingly in an attempt to gauge Chen Feng’s state.
“When I was fighting against the Demonic Bloodthirsty Hunters earlier, I had noticed you two observing from the side. However, the Invisibility Talismans that the two of you used are very powerful. I was nearly incapable of noticing you two,” Chen Feng said with a smile.
Truth be told, Chen Feng had failed to notice Zhao Qiang and Ma Wu’s existence. Tower had been the one to inform him.
“Demonic Bloodthirsty Hunters? You know those monsters?” Zhao Qiang and Ma Wu exchanged glances, surprise rising into their mind. The two of them did not expect Chen Feng to recognize the creature whose body was completely covered with demonic energy.
“The bloodthirsty ones are known as Demonic Bloodthirsty Hunters while the cloaked ones that utilize sneak attacks are known as Phantom Beasts,” Chen Feng said coolly. His body was leaning against the tree and his face was an unreadable mask. He did not use the opportunity to heal his wounds. Seeing that, Zhao Qiang and Ma Wu dared not act rashly. Although Chen Feng was already wounded, he possessed two Prized artefacts on him. Those two were incredibly powerful weapons.
“You truly are a spy!” Suddenly, Zhao Qiang shouted while pointing at Chen Feng.
“Spy?” Chen Feng was stunned. Unexpectedly, they had still wanted to make up an excuse to deal with him.
“Hey, hey. When I heard that you are a spy, I did not believe it. However, the truth is now laid out before my eyes. How do you plan on denying it?” Zhao Qiang said with a sneer.
“Truth? What truth?” Chen Feng asked with a cold tone.
“Your cultivation base is comparable to an heir disciple, but you instead chose to join the outer disciples. If that is not a spy, what is? Besides, everyone had gathered together tonight while you secretly snuck out. The way I see it, you must the one responsible for the sudden appearance of these demonic beasts,” Zhao Qiang said with a righteous expression.
“Oh, is that right? Then, what do you fellows plan on doing? Take advantage of my predicament to kill me?” Chen Feng sneered.
“We will just capture and hand you over to the sect. Do not worry, we will not be killing you. When the time comes, the sect will put you on trial.” After saying that, Ma Wu took a few steps forward. His body exuded an atmosphere of aggression and it appeared as though he would be making his move soon.
“Oh? When you put it that way, the two of you plan on attacking me?” Chen Feng remained leaning on the tree, looking calmly at the two.
“That is right, we will capture you, spy,” said Zhao Qiang with a sneer. A flying sword brimming with blue light had already appeared in the air.
It was a grade 7 Magic artefact. Additionally, it was a very rare water-type magic sword. The sword radiated brightly while absorbing the thick water energy from its surroundings. By borrowing the surrounding water energy, the grade 7 Magic artefact’s power grew by two notches. Seeing that made Zhao Qiang feel more confident.
Seeing Zhao Qiang make his move, Ma Wu too brought out his own magic treasure. It was a fiery-red flying sword. With a body that was entirely dark red and translucent, it was as though a clump of flames was raging within it.
It was a fire-type flying sword. Ma Wu and Zhao Qiang used water and fire each and had been fighting alongside each other for a long time. They prepared to attack Chen Feng, water and fire complementing each other. A powerful force spread into their surroundings, evaporating the raindrops and incinerating the leaves above their heads to ash. It was like an expanding vacuum. Anything entering the vacuum would be torn to shreds before turning to ash.
On the other side, Chen Feng remained motionless. He simply cast an impassive look at the two of them. It was as though the attack that the two of them were about to launch was nothing in his eyes.
“You two really think you can capture me?” Chen Feng sneered.
“Ha ha ha! Kid, enough with your act. We saw everything when you were fighting those bloodthirsty monsters. You are now critically injured and are simply no match for us,” Zhao Qiang laughed out.
“Are you fellows not afraid of my Prized artefacts?” Chen Feng brought Bloody Soul out, gripping it in his hand. Waves of violent aura spread out and the powerful, bloodthirsty demonic energy caused the expressions on both Zhao Qiang and Ma Wu to change.
“Is that a demonic artefact?” Ma Wu cried out in shock.
“You are quite the knowledgeable one.” Chen Feng sneered.
“So what if it is a demonic artefact? You are currently wounded. You are simply incapable of unleashing the demonic artefact’s power.”
Seeing Chen Feng take out the demonic artefact, Ma Wu and Zhao Qiang first grew vigilant. Soon however, looks of greed appeared on their faces.
“Sigh, forget it! I didn’t think that a famous sect like the Extreme Celestial Sect would have fools like you two. I am too lazy to be bothered with you fellows.” Chen Feng waved his hand and his body leaned against the tree. Then, he closed his eyes and began circulating his energy while adjusting his rate of respiration to heal up his wounds.
Seeing Chen Feng’s actions, the expressions on Zhao Qiang and Ma Wu’s faces changed once again. Next, gritting their teeth, they attacked Chen Feng. Flying swords of water and fire shot forward from left and right respectively, bringing the imagery of water and fire descending upon Chen Feng. The attack appeared to be bursting with power.
Zhao Qiang and Ma Wu had practiced this move together so many times, they had practically lost count. Even a cultivator who had developed his or her domain power would have to exercise caution when dealing with it.
However, Chen Feng remained immobile, seemingly having gone to sleep.
“Scram!”
Suddenly, a violent divine sense rippled out. It was as though a thunderclap had gone off beside their very ears. At the same time, a silver-coloured wyrm, exuding a domineering atmosphere, appeared before Chen Feng.
Pa! Pa!
Two snapping sounds rang out and Ma Wu and Zhao Qiang’s flying swords were sent flying. Their minds quaked and they felt the divine senses they attached within the flying swords shattering.
