Scarlet blood mist drifted across the heavens. That pervert Lin Chong was truly dead — Chu Feng hadn't left him even the slightest chance of survival.
At this moment, both Lin Moli and Yan Yangtian were stunned, frozen by Chu Feng's actions.
Yan Yangtian hadn't expected it — he hadn't truly believed Chu Feng would dare to kill Lin Chong. After all, Lin Chong was the only card Chu Feng had left to bargain with for his life.
As for Lin Moli, it was more accurate to say he was utterly devastated. His most beloved son — the one he had treasured like a jewel — had just been killed, obliterated to the point where not even a corpse or a single scrap remained. How could he possibly keep his composure?
"Chu Feng, I will tear you to pieces!!!"
Suddenly, Lin Moli threw his head back and roared at the sky. His furious howl was like thunder, like the cry of a beast king, shaking the very heavens until they trembled as though they were about to collapse. Birds and beasts dozens of miles away scattered in terror, fleeing in every direction.
At the same time, two terrifying waves of Heaven Martial realm pressure surged forth, flooding across the sky like a tidal wave. It was pressure formed from heavenly force — this unique power surged through the air, and one could clearly see the sky itself quivering, as if it feared this overwhelming might.
"This is bad. This Heaven Martial pressure — it's far too strong."
Before the pressure had even reached him, Chu Feng already felt an enormous weight pressing down. His blood began to boil, his internal organs twisted in agony, and every bone in his body creaked and groaned, as though his entire body were about to be crushed to dust.
Though at this moment Chu Feng had borrowed Egg's power and was a fighter at the third stage of the Xuan Martial realm, facing a Heaven Martial expert, he could feel with painful clarity just how weak, how hopelessly fragile he was.
Chu Feng had no doubt that if those two waves of pressure closed in, without either of them needing to lift a finger, that pressure alone could crush him alive — grinding his bones to powder and reducing him to a mist of blood.
But Chu Feng was no fool. Nearly the instant he killed Lin Chong, he had already communicated with Egg, handing control of his body over. So when Chu Feng's pupils contracted, his body had already been completely taken over by Egg.
"My Lord, don't kill him — leave him alive. This Chu Feng has too many secrets. Not only does he possess a movement technique for void flight, he likely also commands the legendary secret techniques. Let's wring those secrets out of him first, and then take our time torturing him to death."
In that moment, Yan Yangtian was secretly transmitting his voice to Lin Moli. Now that he was convinced Chu Feng's life was entirely in their grasp, his greedy heart had fixed its sights on the secrets Chu Feng carried.
"Mm."
Hearing this, Lin Moli — whose mind had been filled to the brim with rage — recovered a sliver of reason. He certainly wanted to make Chu Feng pay, but he equally desired to obtain those special abilities Chu Feng possessed. They would be of tremendous benefit to his Qilin Manor — and to himself.
"Whoosh~~~~~~~"
But just then, a surge of dark, black-tinged energy erupted from within Chu Feng's body. The energy billowed outward like black clouds blotting out the sky, carrying with it a chorus of ghostly wails and a bone-piercing chill.
This chill was not the ordinary cold of ice — it was a sinister, indescribable eeriness. Most alarming of all, the moment this dark energy appeared, Chu Feng's aura skyrocketed, becoming several times more powerful than before.
"This feeling… so strange. As if it gathers all the darkness in the world. Could there be a demon inside Chu Feng?" This sudden change left both Yan Yangtian and Lin Moli visibly shaken, their expressions shifting dramatically.
Because the aura Chu Feng now radiated was far too unnatural. It was something no human should possess — and even the most vicious Fierce Beasts and demon beasts didn't carry such terrifying energy.
"Swish."
