Chapter 654: Giant Slaying (1/2)

The faint aura of a phoenix disappeared after the successful formation of the second bone. The massive beasts in the sky also left. The ones near the lake had stares of confusion and hesitation but they chose to leave too.

The area found peace again. Of course, a few powerful divine intents still swept through Feiyun. They were extremely strong and didn’t seem to be from humans.

The group of peacocks returned to the shallow water and quickly held their eggs with their beak then flew away. They didn’t want to linger in this problematic location.

Fireflies started coming out from the water plants, looking as bright as the stars in the sky.

Only the Heavenly Witch Goddess stayed behind.

Feiyun gazed at the horizon with a serious expression before asking: “Are you following me or going back to Witch God by yourself?”

“I’ll follow you.” She would have hesitated in the past but not anymore after finding out that his aura could nourish the divine tree.

Feiyun nodded and decided to leave. The big commotion would surely attract those heretics. They worried about the angry beasts earlier but with them gone, they would certainly come running.

Sure enough, a lightning bolt descended from the sky. A man in a black cloak looking like a phantom landed on the center of the lake. He spoke with an old voice: “You’re not going anywhere, Feng Feiyun.”

Eight more figures rode the wind here and sealed the sky.

The goddess’ expression changed after hearing the fifty-first protector. She turned towards Feiyun and took a good look at him. Her eyes moved up and down as she found him to be very familiar.

‘No wonder… no, no, it can’t be him. Young Master Feng always travels with two hounds and he’s not this strong either… but what if it’s really him?’

‘Is he here… to do terrible things to me again…?’

She was on the verge of tears due to an instinctive fear towards him, akin to a mouse meeting a cat or a rabbit seeing a hawk.

Feiyun didn’t notice her strange expression since he was staring at the old man: “Haha, fifty-first protector, you got here fast.”

The old man snorted: “Can’t let you get away now, Feng Feiyun, give up. You can’t win against our temple.”

Feiyun knew that the old man was buying time. He must have sent messages to the other protectors. Numerous masters were heading here.

He must break away from this group with haste.

He summoned the weapon essence and turned into a ray circling in the air.

Three heretics who were sealing the sky died instantly; all got cut into two halves despite being fourth-level Heaven’s Mandate.

The seal in the sky broke to the horror of the heretics. Feiyun was too strong. Fourth-level Heaven’s Mandate cultivators were helpless before him.

Feiyun was simply too fast. Even the protector couldn’t see his figure too well.

‘The boy has gotten even stronger!’ He thought.

“Let’s go!” Feiyun grabbed the goddess’ hand and lifted her up.

“Stop it right there!” The protector didn’t like Feiyun and thought that the Heretical King’s invitation was only inviting trouble, almost like raising a tiger. Killing the guy right away was the better choice.

Feiyun had killed too many elite heretics. Each required numerous resources to groom. Thus, he wanted to teach the brat a lesson.

“Boom!” He unleashed a massive palm of energy at the sixfold level straight for Feiyun’s head.

Feiyun stopped with a cold glare. He released a palm strike as well with the image of nine gigantic dragon-tigers.

It brought through the energy palm and headed straight for the protector.

“What?! Nine tiger force?!” The protector’s eyes almost left their sockets. He could only release seven tigers when he was a half-step but Feiyun could release nine tigers at the fifth-level?

Even the most devilish genius couldn’t be this strong!

Of course, he didn’t know that Feiyun focused on physique cultivation. They were on two different paths.

“Boom!” He took out a black sail towering at 120 feet with a star engraved on the surface. The star became bright and shot right out.
