Chapter 752 Strange (1/2)

“Hopefully, some treasures will remain.”

Weng!

Suddenly, Chen Feng sensed a wave of energy fluctuation outside. Surprised, he rushed out to see Liu Wuxiang holding a stone lance with him as he walked out from one of the buildings.

“Brother Chen, come look.” Liu Wuxiang then handed the lance to Chen Feng.

“Strange, what kind of power is this?” Sensing the peculiar power radiating from the lance, Chen Feng felt surprised. It was a power that he had never seen before, different from the power of immortal dao or demonic dao. Instead, it was an ancient binding power.

Ding!

Chen Feng gave it a tap with his finger and a faint light shone from the surface of the stone lance. Next, cracks spread out from the spot and the lance shattered into countless fragments with a bang.

“A pity! This lance should be a decent Sacred artefact. Unfortunately, it has been too long. The fact that it could survive this long is already a testament to how good it was.” Chen Feng shook his head.

“Not even Sacred artefacts could remain intact. I wonder how much power a Dao artefact can retain. Still, this city is very big. There should be a high number of good items inside this place.”

As the two of them were chatting, some cultivators moved forward from behind them. They were none other than the group that had entered the city after them.

The one in the lead sported two horns on his head and his beefy body was at least one zhang tall. Black scales covered his whole body and a long beard grew out from his face. Demonic energy surged within his eyes. He was a Demon Deity.

“Two little fellows and two Yao Immortals. You fellows, come!” the Demon Deity shouted coldly.

“Oh? I wonder, does Sir Demon Deity have instructions for us?” Liu Wuxiang said with a smile.

“Naturally. Be obedient and listen to my commands. Do everything I tell you to do, or you all will die right here!” the Demon Deity shouted again as he took another step forward to unleash a formidable wave of demonic energy.

Behind the Demon Deity were four more cultivators. Two of them had a pair of wings on their backs respectively. They were also at the Demon Deity (Earthen) stage. The other two radiated a ghostly energy. They were Ghost Generals from the Ghost Plane.

“Sure thing! What does fellow sirs want of us?” Chen Feng said with a smile.

“You, go check that building. You, go to the small courtyard. You two, keep walking forward.” The two-horned Demon Deity began giving them instructions, treating Chen Feng and the others as scouts.

“Let’s not get into a conflict with them first.”

Chen Feng and Liu Wuxiang secretly discussed the matter before following the Demon Deity’s instructions. As for the Hell Dog and tree yao, they simply chuckled and ignored the Demon Deity. Seeing that, the Demon Deity had wanted to attack them, only to hold himself back in the end. Two Yao Immortals were not easy to deal with, after all.

“It’s fine. Having the two little fellows as scouts is enough.”

Weng!

Another wave of energy fluctuations spread out from the small courtyard and Chen Feng walked out, a wooden mallet covered in runes in his hand.

“Bring it to me.” The Demon Deity beckoned and snatched the wooden mallet away from Chen Feng’s hand.

Pa!

The wooden mallet shattered apart and a wisp of power dissipated into the air.

“What broken toy is this?” The Demon Deity waved his hand, blowing the shattered remnants away.

Next up, Chen Feng and Liu Wuxiang found some more items. There were blades, spears, lances, hammers and some oddly-shaped weapons. They even found some daily utensils containing unique power. The power contained within them all, however, would dissipate away the moment they held them. Without exception, all of them shattered apart.

They advanced through several streets and had entered who knows just how many buildings. And yet, they were incapable of finding even a single item that could be useful to them. Due to that, they all felt very upset.

Will this trip end in vain? That was the thought going through the minds of all present.

“Why did you two stop? Hurry up and go check out the two small courtyards!” the two-horned Demon Deity shouted again.

Chen Feng and Liu Wuxiang’s eyes lit up and killing intent glinted across them. They had yet to find a good opportunity, but they were already on the verge of losing their patience.

“Looks like we’ll have to fight them.”

Just as they were planning on attacking, a ten-metre-tall building located not too far away suddenly exploded and countless building fragments shot towards them. At the same time, a power soared up into the sky. Sensing that power, the eyes of all present shone.

“It must be a good item!”

The two-horned Demon Deity was the first to charge forward. When he re-appeared, there was a short staff forged from what appeared to be bronze in his hand. A simplistic-looking pattern was engraved upon the surface of the short staff. However, the aura radiating out from the short staff was surely not fake.

“It actually contains grand dao powers. That Dao artefact is quite good,” Liu Wuxiang said.

Chen Feng nodded silently. Although the grand dao powers within the short staff in the Demon Deity’s hand was already in an incomplete state, he estimated that it was at least a mid-grade Dao artefact.

“After all this time, only magic treasures containing grand dao powers would be able to remain intact.”

“A Dao artefact! Hand it over!”

A great hand silhouette descended from the sky to grasp the short staff in the Demon Deity’s hand. At the same time, the surrounding buildings exploded and countless pieces of rubble became like arrows as they shot towards all the cultivators present.

“You have a death wish!”

The two-horned Demon Deity grew infuriated and he swiftly swung out with the short staff in his hand to shatter apart the great hand silhouette above him.
