Chapter 1209: All of Them Killed

The Nine-Headed Bird secretly urged, "We must leave now, or we'll run out of time. If a God King descends shortly to personally capture and kill Cao De, it will be too late."

"Brother Cao, let's go quickly. As long as there's life, there's hope. Let's bear this today, and another time, we'll join forces to help you get justice!"

The Nine-Headed Bird grew anxious, a layer of cold sweat appearing on his forehead. He kept glancing outside the Golden Body encampment, worried that a God King would appear to apprehend Cao De.

"I'm not going anywhere! Whoever wants my blood, I'll make them pay with their life!"

Chu Feng's eyes reddened. That was the Dao Assimilation Grass, capable of expanding an evolutionist's lifetime potential. Now, not only had this great opportunity, hard-won through life-and-death struggle, been stolen from him, but they also intended to convict him and put him to death. The world was simply too dark.

He was utterly beyond endurance, his blood boiling with rage. He longed to instantly manifest his previous life's Dao fruit and join the battle with the might of a God King, to kill to his heart's content right then and there!

"Brother Cao, don't be impulsive. I understand how you feel; fighting with your life, only to be cast aside after all that effort. They needed you when you were fighting desperately, but now they want to kill you when it's time to distribute the spoils. I truly empathize with this humiliation. However, the current situation is overwhelming. The most crucial thing is to step back and survive. What good will your indignation do? Can you stop a God King-level enforcer, or kill a Heavenly Venerate?!"

The Nine-Headed Bird grabbed his arm, secretly sending a sound transmission to dissuade him, then began to lead him out of the Golden Body encampment.

He also told Chu Feng that losing the Dao Assimilation Grass opportunity was no big deal. He guaranteed that once the Tower of Time opened and the Marsh of All Souls' Order appeared, Chu Feng would soar, gaining boundless freedom and opportunity, and no one would ever dare to lay a hand on him again.

"Temporary forbearance is not cowardice," he declared, "but rather waiting for the right moment to soar even higher in the future!" His voice was like thunder exploding in Chu Feng's ears.

"Still trying to leave? What a joke!" sneered a female Saint beside Kun Long. "Those old coots have already reached a compromise, and all that's left is for a God King-level enforcer to apprehend you. You still fantasize about escaping? Cao De, you might as well just die here!"

A beautiful female Saint beside Kun Long reprimanded him, her expression quite unfriendly and aggressive.

As for Kun Long himself, his face was expressionless, devoid of any emotion. With the celestial saber on his back, he approached with firm, specially rhythmic steps.

At once, the heavens and earth resonated, merging with the pulsating sound of his footsteps, as if a heavenly Dao order was reviving, then roaring.

Nearby, some Golden Body level evolutionists who were observing all clutched their chests, feeling their heartbeats synchronize with the frequency of his footsteps, as if their hearts could burst at any moment.

Many were horrified, feeling as if heaven and earth were being controlled. They believed Kun Long had become a Dao body, dominating this small world. His steps were so regular and rhythmic that if he wished, with a sudden tremor, he could make the physical bodies of many Golden Body evolutionists explode, destroying them with the sound of his footsteps!

This was an extremely terrifying method, a skill almost akin to the Dao itself, controlling the surrounding heaven and earth!

"Uncle Six, help me block them!"

The Nine-Headed Bird spoke with a solemn expression, addressing someone hidden to block Kun Long and his group.

Behind Kun Long, a formidable group of Saints followed, their footsteps synchronized and merging with Kun Long's order fluctuations, resonating with the Dao!

A young man, the Nine-Headed Bird's Uncle Six, walked over and blocked Kun Long's path.

With a cold snort, Jin Lie, Jin Lin's elder brother, surged with golden light like a blazing sun, transforming into a brilliant, enveloping aura. He was as radiant as a son of heaven.

At the same time, his divine aura permeated the air, energy surged, and a Dao fruit accompanied him. Runes circulated nearby, suppressing the entire area.

Many Golden Body level evolutionists felt suffocated; some couldn't endure it and simply collapsed to the ground.

In this Yang Realm, the laws of heaven and earth are complete and exert immense suppression. Normally, even divine-level experts couldn't achieve such an effect, as they can barely lift off the ground and fly.

Evolutionists of this level shouldn't cause Golden Body geniuses to tremble from their souls and collapse to the ground.

For Jin Lie to achieve this, it could only mean he was incredibly powerful, like a divine being patrolling the heavens, looking down upon the lower realm and making other evolutionists tremble uncontrollably.

"Uncle Lan, please block him!" the Nine-Headed Bird whispered again.

A middle-aged man appeared, blocking Jin Lie's path. He erupted with blood-red light and streaks of crimson glow, like a blood fiend-god soaring across the sky, obstructing the successor of the mutated Qilin race.

The Nine-Headed Bird shook Chu Feng's shoulders, then tugged at his arm, about to lead him away. Blood-colored wings appeared on his back as he prepared to fly off.

Chu Feng firmly shook his head, his feet rooted to the ground. He didn't move; he refused to leave!

At this moment, his eyes were deep. He had calmed down, without agitation, his aura as steady as a mountain. He simply wanted to wait here, unwilling to flee in disgrace.

The Nine-Headed Bird angrily exclaimed, "Brother Cao, how can you be so stubborn? I'm telling you, the opportunities in the Tower of Time are many times greater than the Dao Assimilation Grass! If you leave with me, one day we'll gain great fortune and return to take revenge. Why are you so unwise, insisting on waiting for death here?!"

Just then, the Twelve-Winged Silver Dragon arrived as a streak of light, somewhat breathless, his expression extremely serious. He informed them that the old coots had made their decision: they would execute Cao De, making him responsible for the incident, and thus close the chapter.

Not far away, the Nine-Headed Bird's other sworn brothers arrived: a white crow descended, transforming into a man in white; a winged black tortoise descended, transforming into a man with black wings like a fallen angel; and a woman formed from a celestial blood vine quickly arrived.

They brought the same news: Chu Feng not only failed to make it onto the list but was also pushed out to be killed, becoming the ultimate sacrifice to appease the wrath of the old coots from the mutated Qilin, Flowing Light Snail, and other tribes.

Chu Feng's gaze was distant; he remained silent, standing there, becoming increasingly quiet.

The Twelve-Winged Silver Dragon tugged at the Nine-Headed Bird's sleeve, signaling him to abandon the effort. The implication was, if Cao De didn't want to leave, he could simply wait for death there.

"Let's go!" the Nine-Headed Bird's other sworn brothers also urged, telling him not to get involved and to leave quickly to avoid this vortex.

"Want to leave? No way!"

At this moment, Kun Long roared, ordering the Saints beside him to report the news and to block Cao De, preventing his escape.

"Heh, don't be in a hurry to move," the Nine-Headed Bird's Uncle Six said as he stepped forward, blocking the Saints and preventing them from leaving their positions. "I have something to discuss with you!"

"Nine-Headed Clan, do you know what you're doing?!" Jin Lie asked coldly, his gaze ruthless and his killing intent boundless. He was extremely displeased.

Then he shouted, "I'm here to demand an explanation for my sister! Furthermore, there's now a decision from above to convict Cao De and make him pay with his blood and life. Why are you obstructing this?!"

At this moment, the Nine-Headed Bird grew angry, flung Chu Feng's arm away, pointed at him, and declared, "Cao De, you are truly foolish! If you don't want to go, then don't!"

He seemed to want to walk away, but ultimately hesitated, opening his mouth as if to make one last appeal.

At this moment, Hong Yunhai appeared, standing in the distance with a surprised expression.

Two of his grandsons, barely able to walk, were beside him. They both looked at Chu Feng with strange expressions.

"What's going on? Is this Cao De being targeted? Does someone want to kill him? It seems the Nine-Headed Bird wants to save him!" Hong Yu said with a hateful gaze, "It truly is the turn of fortune; Cao De is about to have bad luck!"

Hong Sheng frowned, saying, "That area is covered by a light barrier; we can't hear their voices. What are they discussing?"

However, he could still tell that Cao De was in trouble, and many people wanted him dead.

Hong Yunhai chuckled faintly, saying, "It's all due to interests. Cao De has likely become a pawn. Perhaps he'll not only lose the chance to absorb the Dao Assimilation Grass but also be charged, shed blood, and lose his life, heh heh!"

Hong Yu's eyes immediately glinted with ruthlessness, "Is that really true? Grandfather, you can act first to subdue him, don't let him escape!"

Hong Yunhai reprimanded him, "Idiot, at a time like this, just watch the show. If someone wants to kill him, they'll certainly make a move. Why should we interfere? If we mess up, we'll only bring trouble upon ourselves!"

Hong Sheng sighed from the side, saying, "Those powerful clans are too dark. They use such sinister methods, snatching away Cao De's opportunity and even wanting to kill him. Comparatively, our desire to replace him, participate in the battle, and actively contend for fortune seems too unsophisticated and crude. These powerful clans are truly vicious; with a single thought, they can change someone's fate. And they still want to convict Cao De – it's dark, bloody, and cruel!"

Hong Yunhai nodded, saying, "So, just watch. At this moment, absolutely do not get involved!"

At this moment, the Nine-Headed Bird lost patience and said, "Brother Cao, I apologize for this, but we truly don't want you to die. Let us forcefully take you away!"

He simultaneously signaled the Twelve-Winged Silver Dragon, the white crow, the black tortoise, and the woman formed from the celestial blood vine, intending to carry Chu Feng and abduct him directly.

Boom!

However, before they could even touch Chu Feng, golden light erupted as Chu Feng emitted powerful fluctuations, spreading open a divine halo like a war god descended. This separated the group, making it difficult for them to approach.

"I'm not going anywhere; I'll wait right here. Let's see who dares to kill me!" Chu Feng said coldly, his gaze icy.

At this moment, intense energy fluctuations came from the distant sky, and divine rainbows appeared at the edge of the horizon as powerful God Kings streaked across, about to arrive.

"It's too late, already too late. The enforcing God King has arrived," the Nine-Headed Bird sighed, then told Chu Feng, "Brother Cao, you've missed your last chance. Take care of yourself!"

Then, the Nine-Headed Bird turned and left, abandoning him.

However, Chu Feng grabbed his arm and didn't let go, saying, "Don't be in a hurry to leave. Come and witness what kind of crime they truly want to pin on me. In broad daylight, under the clear sky, I refuse to believe anyone can act with impunity. I will make those who conspired against me pay a bloody price!"

The Nine-Headed Bird's face changed. "Brother Cao, you're mad!" he exclaimed. "What good is a Golden Body level evolutionist's anger? If you don't leave now, you'll only die here and won't be able to get revenge!"

Then he added, "Let me go! Coming to warn you has already broken the rules. Since you won't leave, I'll withdraw from this matter and have no connection with you whatsoever. Let go!"

He struggled hard, wanting to break free from Chu Feng and leave quickly, not wanting to delay here any longer.

However, Chu Feng gripped his arm tightly, his gaze profound and incredibly deep, refusing to let go!

"Cao De, what do you mean? Are you repaying kindness with enmity?" the Twelve-Winged Silver Dragon angrily reprimanded. "We came to save you, to warn you. It's one thing that you won't leave, but do you also want to drag us into this vortex?"

"No hurry!" Chu Feng said.

At this moment, a golden light flashed, and a God King-level elder descended into the encampment. It was the old servant from the Six-Eared Clan who protected the monkey.

He looked at Chu Feng with surprise and asked, "Cao De, what are you doing?"

Chu Feng was calm as he replied, "I heard that the powerful clans have reached a compromise, and I've become the sacrifice, to be decapitated to appease the wrath of certain individuals?"

Upon hearing this, the old servant of the Six-Eared Macaque clan was first startled, then his pupils sharply contracted as he seemed to realize something, looking at everyone nearby.

Finally, he sneered, "Quite audacious, aren't we!"

Then he said to Chu Feng, "That's not true, and furthermore, I was just about to tell you that our clan's old ancestor overturned the table and finally secured your qualification to participate in the Dao Assimilation Grass grand event. This matter is settled; it was just decided!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Feng's gaze grew even colder. He grabbed the Nine-Headed Bird, his eyes glinting slightly with blood-red light.

"Let go!" the Nine-Headed Bird shouted.

"You are truly vicious!" Chu Feng said through gritted teeth.

"How did you realize?" the Nine-Headed Bird asked, unwilling to accept. He knew Cao De must have sensed something amiss earlier, which was why he had refused to leave and had grabbed his arm, locking it tightly to prevent his retreat. The truth was exposed.

Chu Feng's killing intent was boundless; his suspicions had actually come true. The Nine-Headed Bird, along with Kun Long, Jin Lie, and others, had set a trap to secretly harm him.

If he had been tricked out of the Golden Body encampment, they could have acted as they pleased once outside, fearless in killing or humiliating him however they wished.

Outside the Golden Body encampment, there would be no restraints, no need to obey rules against bullying the weak. Directly killing Chu Feng would have been no problem.

Chu Feng lifted the Nine-Headed Bird and slammed him directly towards the Twelve-Winged Silver Dragon, who was about to make the first move. Simultaneously, he unleashed a fierce punch that struck the white crow, sending him flying and spitting blood.

"Nine-Headed Bird, you are truly sinister and malicious!" Chu Feng roared. "First you came to my tent-cave to win me over, then you came here pretending to save me, setting up trap after trap for me! You're asking for death!"

Chu Feng attacked ferociously.

The Nine-Headed Bird tried to resist, but what chilled him to the bone was that as he struggled, his entire arm lost sensation and half of his body went numb. Clearly, the moment Chu Feng grabbed him, he had already struck covertly, just waiting for him to resist!

This was the Yin-attributed energy from the Seven Treasures wondrous art, a divine energy refined from rare heaven-and-earth materials that Chu Feng had brought from the Underworld's cycle of reincarnation, used to forge supreme wondrous arts!

The Nine-Headed Bird was eroded; half of his body went numb from the attack, his entire body grew cold, and he couldn't move.

"Kill!" Chu Feng shouted, intending to wipe them all out.

"How dare you commit violence here!" the Nine-Headed Bird's Uncle Six and Uncle Lan both reprimanded, about to make a move.

As a result, the old servant of the Six-Eared Macaque clan pointed his finger, and they were all frozen in place, unable to move.

Not far away, Kun Long drew his saber, its gleaming light piercing the sky.

He then slashed a brilliant saber light towards Chu Feng, like a divine rainbow descending from beyond the heavens, and shouted, "This is a military camp! How can we allow you to run wild and be insolent here!"

The reason was good, but he overestimated his speed. The old servant of the Six-Eared Macaque clan's eyes shot out golden light, and with a clang, he struck down the celestial saber in Kun Long's hand, also freezing him in place!

"Kun Long, the Celestial Saber never leaves your hand, you're considered the First Saint?" Chu Feng said coldly.

Then, with his left hand, he held the Nine-Headed Bird and slammed him into the Silver Dragon and others, while his right hand trembled, unleashing violent energy to form an enormous energy hand. It grabbed the celestial saber that had fallen to the ground and slashed at Kun Long several times!

With gurgling sounds, blood splattered!

After seeing this, the old servant of the Six-Eared Macaque clan grimaced, secretly thinking, "This kid acts too fast, truly knows how to seize opportunities." But he couldn't help but worry; after all, he was also an enforcer here, and having restrained Kun Long, if Chu Feng killed the First Saint, he too would be in trouble.

"Stop!"

The old servant shouted.

Chu Feng said, "Elder, please quickly go and check on Mi Tian and the others. I suspect they've been blocked inside the tent-cave; otherwise, they should have appeared by now."

The old servant was momentarily stunned, but his face quickly darkened again, because in the instant he spoke, Chu Feng had already bisected Kun Long at the waist, blood flowing everywhere. Then he slashed another saber strike towards Kun Long's head, partially splitting it open.

"This kid is too vicious!" the old servant exclaimed, quickly trying to stop him, shouting, "Don't chop!"

Despite this, Kun Long's head still split open.

With a flash of saber light, Chu Feng swung his saber and lopped off the heads of both the Nine-Headed Bird's Uncle Six and Uncle Lan. His movements were incredibly swift and agile, and blood spurted high from the two headless bodies.

"Cao, stop!" the old servant glared. He had to prepare to act against Chu Feng, to stop him. "This kid is truly ruthless when he attacks."

"These ones must be killed! They were the ones who set a trap for me first; I'll wipe them all out!" Chu Feng declared, moving against the Twelve-Winged Silver Dragon, the white crow, the black tortoise, and the woman formed from the celestial blood vine.

Of course, this also included the Nine-Headed Bird he held in his hand.

However, these few were not restrained and could still move freely, so it was impossible for them to simply wait for him to kill them.

"All of you, go to hell!" Chu Feng roared.
