Chapter 307: Weakened (1/2)

Puchi!

After the lance was pulled out, a bloody hole could be seen on He Tian’s body. Immediately, copious amounts of blood sprayed out from the hole. Bloody Soul absorbed every drop of blood coming out from the wound.

“Bloody Soul should be able to level up soon,” Chen Feng whispered.

“Don’t kill me, don’t kill me!” He Tian finally became terrified and he screamed out in dread.

“You were doomed the moment you plotted against me. You will die here today. No one will save you and I will most certainly not let you go,” Chen Feng said, Bloody Soul shooting out from his hand with lightning-like speed. Several more bloody holes appeared on He Tian’s body. He Tian, who had wanted to struggle, immediately felt bereft of strength.

In the beginning, He Tian had been able to beg and howl for mercy loudly. But as time passed, he lost more blood and his strength faded.

This time, Chen Feng did not personally absorb He Tian’s power. Instead, He Tian’s blood essence and soul power were utterly devoured by Bloody Soul. Chen Feng could sense it. Bloody Soul had reached a critical point and would probably break through to grade 3 of the Prized tier soon.

Unwillingly, He Tian finally breathed his last. Chen Feng glanced at the people lying on the ground for a moment. Next, with a wave of his hand, he kept them all into the Longevity Tower. After that, his figure shot forward in pursuit of Grotto Master Astral Poison.

Chen Feng was not afraid that Grotto Master Astral Poison could escape from him. Grotto Master Astral Poison had already fallen prey to his Soul Subduing Mantra earlier and was even pierced with the Overwhelming Astral Sword. It was simply impossible for Grotto Master Astral Poison to escape.

Of course, Chen Feng did not possess much time himself. He had used up too much of his soul power and could not hold on for long.

Riding the Lightstream Shield, Chen Feng sensed the whereabouts of the Overwhelming Astral Sword. After chasing for two joss stick’s worth of time, he finally caught sight of Grotto Master Astral Poison within the Black Origin Mountain Range.

It was something of a funny sight. Grotto Master Astral Poison’s body was constantly bleeding and everywhere he went, grasses and trees would wither and die. Even without sensing the Overwhelming Astral Sword, Chen Feng could swiftly locate Grotto Master Astral Poison.

What a potent poison! Chen Feng praised.

“He he! You sure can flee.” Chen Feng beckoned and the Overwhelming Astral Sword, which was piercing Grotto Master Astral Poison’s body, transformed into a stream of light before flying back into Chen Feng’s grasp. Chen Feng felt amused. In his desire to flee, Grotto Master Astral Poison simply forgot about pulling out the sword stabbing his body.

“Little brother. We humans should always hold back a little. Why kill everyone?” Knowing that he could no longer escape, Grotto Master Astral Poison stopped.

“Fine. Submit to me and I will spare you,” Chen Feng said coolly.

“Very well! As long as I get to live, I am willing to submit,” Grotto Master Astral Poison swiftly replied.

Chen Feng was stunned for a moment, but was quick to continue, “All right. Open up your mind so that I can leave a soul imprint in your soul!”

Light glinted within Grotto Master Astral Poison’s eyes for a few times and he said, “No problem!”

Chen Feng split up a portion of his soul power and sent it into Grotto Master Astral Poison’s sea of wisdom. His strand of soul power had only just entered when the clumps of Soulflame within the sea of wisdom surrounded it. Lightning bolts flashed amidst the flames. Chen Feng knew; those were Sky Lightning.

“Ha ha ha! Kid, you got fooled! You want me to submit to you? Dream on!” Grotto Master Astral Poison laughed loudly. At the same time, he mobilized his Soulflame to incinerate Chen Feng’s strand of soul power.

“Humph! I already knew you were planning something. Behold, my Soul Subduing Mantra!” Chen Feng sneered and the strand of soul power transformed into a Soul Subduing Talisman. After it shot forward, Grotto Master Astral Poison’s Soulflame fell into a state of calmness. Even the Sky Lightning subsided.

“Die!” The Overwhelming Astral Sword in Chen Feng’s hand swiftly arced horizontally to cut Grotto Master Astral Poison into two. As Chen Feng’s strand of soul power exited Grotto Master Astral Poison’s mind, another sword beam pierced Grotto Master Astral Poison’s forehead to obliterate the divine sense within his sea of wisdom.

“Huh!” Chen Feng breathed a sigh of relief and immediately laid his body on the ground. He could sense his soul power weakening rapidly. The amount of primary and blood energies within him were also falling swiftly. Feelings of exhaustion kept assailing him. It felt as though he hadn’t slept for 10 days.

No, now is not the time to lie down. I absolutely cannot fall asleep now. Chen Feng struggled to stand up, but found himself powerless to do so. He failed to stand up.

It shocked him thoroughly. Unexpectedly, using the Soul Subduing Mantra could bring about such a dire consequence.

“Don’t worry, this is just the after-effects,” Tower said with a light-hearted tone.

“When can I recover?” Chen Feng gasped and shoved a few Human-tier Pure Essence Pills into his mouth.

“Hard to say. That’ll depend on your ability to recover. By my estimate, in order to return to your prime and have your soul power at full capacity, you will need at least one month,” Tower said slowly.

“What? So long?” Chen Feng was startled.

“He he! You will grow weaker and weaker from now on. Without the hidden power within your opened insight acupoints, it would take you some time to even get up,” Tower said.

“Hey, lying around like this, if something happens, what then? I need to hurry up and restore my strength.” After saying that, Chen Feng brought out an Earthen-tier Pure Essence Pill, concocted using the flesh of the Two-headed Icefire Wyrm, and shoved it into his mouth.

Its medicinal power spread open and Chen Feng could feel his strength rising again. After one hour, Chen Feng slowly sat up. After another two hours, Chen Feng stood up and began walking, albeit slowly.
