Chapter 133: Great Earthquake

"Yes!" Chu Feng nodded solemnly. This was not a spur-of-the-moment declaration but his true intention and resolve.

This time had been truly dangerous. If he hadn't discovered it in time, his parents could have been killed. A wave of lingering fear washed over Chu Feng.

If he let this incident slide, there would surely be a next time, with others targeting him again and viewing his parents as his weakness.

When that happened, there might be serious accidents, far beyond mere threats and intimidation.

Chu Feng decided to take the initiative, to forge an overwhelming reputation that would make everyone understand: as long as he was alive, no one could scheme against his parents. Otherwise, their fate would be dire, facing ten or even a hundred times his retribution.

He would flatten mountains, destroy strongholds, conquer Mount Pan, and slay the Beast King residing there!

This was Chu Feng's plan. He would strike with lightning speed and sweep away this entire faction!

All the monsters and their sinister plots would be shattered by his fists alone as he fought his way through.

"This is going to be big trouble," Lu Tong murmured, unsettled. He found it difficult to decide immediately, as the matter was too significant.

Mount Pan was already occupied by a Beast King. Could Chu Feng truly succeed by fighting his way there and challenging a veteran king-level creature?

This had far-reaching implications, akin to poking a hornet's nest. It would cause immeasurable turmoil and might even trigger other chain reactions.

Lu Tong was very cautious, his expression serious as he carefully considered the situation.

"Old man, the more complicated you make it, the more concerns you'll have," Chu Feng asked. "Are you worried about other Beast Kings causing trouble?"

"Yes, the consequences would be very severe!" Lu Tong replied.

Chu Feng spoke forcefully, "Everything has two sides. Don't you think some of these extraordinary beings are too overbearing? The Azure Wolf King's massacre, the beast tide in Shu land... Why are they always the ones attacking? I believe it's necessary to make an example, to make a statement!"

Chu Feng added, "And this time, Kong Sheng, Huang Xian, and others were truly arrogant. They ambushed me twice and even dared to destroy a plane. Do they really think we're pushovers, that they can do whatever they please? It's too outrageous!"

"Yes, it was indeed too much. Let me think about it," Lu Tong said, turning to leave. He, too, was seething with anger.

That was a safe flight route established by humans, yet Kong Sheng, Huang Yun, Huang Xian, and the others attacked without restraint, destroying a passenger plane. What would they try next?!

Outside, there was no calm.

Hours passed, and there was still no news of the three quasi-kings. What had happened? It was a period of uncertainty.

Regardless, Chu Feng had returned. He had successfully broken through a deadly trap and survived. Did this mean the other three powerful beings had been defeated and killed?

Or had the three quasi-kings simply failed to stop him, allowing him to break out, with both sides remaining unharmed?

Now, everyone, from ordinary people to major financial groups, wanted to know the truth. This battle was truly captivating, drawing attention from all directions.

"Even if Chu Feng is strong, as a quasi-king level master, he couldn't possibly defeat three powerful beings alone. That's a bit unrealistic. I think he just broke out."

"Indeed. The Peacock Clan is incredibly formidable, with two quasi-kings appearing simultaneously—no one could stop them; escape would be the only option. Add a weasel who could summon flying swords, and it becomes truly unsolvable, impossible to guard against. Besides choosing to flee, I really can't imagine how Chu Feng could have survived."

This was the view of most people. They favored Chu Feng, hoping he would personally eliminate those arrogant extraordinary beings, but they found it somewhat unrealistic.

People from some large financial groups were also discussing it, even inviting experts to deduce and reconstruct the battle's events as much as possible.

"He probably chose to break through and escape. The live broadcast footage at the time showed this—Chu Feng's strategy was to escape, which led to the three quasi-kings pursuing him together," said some powerful individuals within major factions.

After all, with three quasi-kings besieging him, and Chu Feng having only recently reached that realm, it would be difficult for him to cope, and he shouldn't have been able to fight them head-on.

What no one knew was that Chu Feng wasn't merely a quasi-king; he was a true king-level being. That battle had been nothing to him!

"No matter what, Chu Feng is unharmed and successfully broke through the death trap. He is still amazing!"

"He truly lives up to the title 'Bull God King.' Chu Feng is incredibly formidable, managing to escape under the siege of three quasi-kings. He's truly heroic."

Many praised him, overjoyed.

In any case, this was a great cause for celebration. No one wanted to see extraordinary beings act violently and arrogantly, lording over human society.

Chu Feng had repeatedly defied extraordinary beings, even successfully killing a peacock and severing a weasel's tail, which was truly deterrent.

Now, even with these extraordinary beings seeking revenge, they still couldn't do anything to him. This excited everyone, and some passionate youths cheered loudly, going out to drink and celebrate.

At this moment, many people were happy, especially Zhou Yitian, who couldn't stop grinning.

In just a few days, Chu Feng had caused such a huge stir that "The Ox Demon Great Sage" seemed to have a second wind, with its attendance rate soaring again.

It was sure to become a box office miracle in history, breaking all sorts of records and becoming a box office legend.

"How are you, Chu Feng?"

"Chu Feng, are you hurt?"

Chu Feng scrolled through his communicator; there were too many messages, many expressing concern.

"I'm fine," Chu Feng posted a concise message on his public platform.

"What's the battle situation, God Chu? Please tell us quickly!"

At this point, both acquaintances and strangers flocked to his page, leaving comments and eagerly wanting to know the outcome.

Even the major financial groups paid attention immediately, with some even posting from official accounts, such as the Tonggu Alliance, asking about the fate of the three quasi-kings.

Chu Feng thought for a moment, then directly uploaded images: first, the headless bodies of two peacocks; next, a ten-meter-long weasel; and finally, Kong Sheng's feathers and wings.

He posted them all together, captioned with four words: "Abundant harvest of prey."

This was an absolute earthquake. People online were stunned, followed by a clamor. The news was too shocking!

Even many major powers were dumbfounded. Those were three quasi-kings who went to encircle and kill Chu Feng, and he ended up killing them all?

Like a landslide and a tsunami, this caused a massive uproar. All parties were restless and began to act, determined to understand the full details of the battle.

Everyone was astonished. No one had expected that not a single one of the three quasi-Beast Kings would survive, all of them slain by Chu Feng alone in the mountains.

Such a battle record was too glorious!

A young man fighting three quasi-kings alone and ultimately killing them all—it was impossible for this not to cause an earthquake.

"Haha, Boss is mighty! This battle record is truly terrifying!" commented Du Huaijin, the "Thousand-Mile Eye."

He, Ouyang Qing, Ye Qingrou, and Chen Luoyan were all on their way to Jade Void Palace to see Chu Feng. They saw the news while en route, which first startled them, then filled them with pleasant surprise.

Many people left comments online, and the number of followers on Chu Feng's self-media platform surged, surpassing even the most popular celebrities.

"Chu Feng, Bull God King, you are truly magnificent! This battle was just like the Ox Demon Great Sage in real life. Excellent kill, that's how domineering you should be!"

"Fantastic! Those extraordinary beings were too arrogant, destroying our passenger planes and ambushing us. They were truly reckless. That's how they should be dealt with—swept away and crushed."

"God Chu, I look forward to the day you slay a Beast King!"

The internet was abuzz, and major media outlets naturally couldn't just stand by. They all took action, digging for insider information.

For a time, reports flooded everywhere.

Some reporters, incredibly resourceful, even contacted the military, reaching out to the extraordinary pilot who flew the armed helicopter for Chu Feng, hoping to learn more and conduct a secret interview.

However, the pilot refused, not daring to leak classified information, only telling them that Chu Feng was invincible.

This only piqued people's curiosity further. Many began to inquire, and even Lu Tong was pestered by numerous individuals seeking him out.

The old man simply turned off his phone and didn't respond. He was currently very troubled, contemplating whether or not to attack Mount Pan. He knew very well that Chu Feng intended to turn the world upside down!

Killing a Beast King, flattening mountains, and destroying strongholds—this would absolutely be a world-shattering event!

After Chu Feng posted the photos, his surroundings still didn't quiet down. His communicator rang constantly, with many people calling him.

"Hello, Nuoyi."

"You're not hurt, are you?" Lin Nuoyi asked.

"I'm fine. Oh, by the way, I have some beautiful peacock feathers here that you definitely can't buy anywhere else. Would you like me to send you some?" Chu Feng chuckled.

Then, he was surprised to hear waves crashing in the background, confirming it wasn't his imagination. He asked, "Where are you?"

"I'm by the East Sea," Lin Nuoyi said softly.

Chu Feng immediately grew serious. "Why did you go there? The ocean is very dangerous; even flood dragons have evolved. You shouldn't stay there long."

Lin Nuoyi didn't hide anything, telling him that someone had discovered golden light in a certain area of the East Sea, suspected to be the Fusang Tree emerging. Several financial groups had learned of this and planned to team up and go out to sea.

"That's too dangerous. There are far more creatures in the ocean than on land. Even the Master of Biyou Palace suffered losses and retreated. It would be too risky for you to go."

"I'm not going out to sea this time; I'm just here to observe," Lin Nuoyi clarified.

This news was astonishing!

The ocean was finally restless. With the legendary Fusang Tree appearing, would Golden Crows also emerge? After all, even on Mount Tai, there were suspected Golden Crow eggs.

Furthermore, there were many legends of immortal islands in the sea, with stories of immortality circulating since ancient times. As early as the pre-Qin era, alchemists went out to sea in search of them.

Now, with the world undergoing changes, it was truly possible that such islands would appear!

The two talked for a moment. After Lin Nuoyi confirmed he was unharmed, she ended the call.

Soon, the yellow ox also called, initiating a video call.

This time, the yellow ox startled Chu Feng; it actually spoke directly, no longer writing, looking very smug.

Of course, it didn't forget to congratulate Chu Feng on killing three quasi-Beast Kings in one battle, but it was also very confident, holding its head high as it told Chu Feng, "This king took that step before you. I became a king today!"

Chu Feng felt a strange sensation listening to it speak, as the creature sounded too childish. He couldn't resist teasing, "You sound so milky-soft. From now on, I'll call you 'Milk Cow'!"

"Chu Feng, do you dare to disrespect this king?!" the yellow ox threatened him.

"Little Milk Cow, I became a king-level expert two days ago," Chu Feng chuckled.

The yellow ox huffed angrily, glaring at him. It had been in high spirits but was now deflated.

"Yellow Ox, it seems you found an extraordinary tree on Mount Kunlun. Well, things are good on my end too. Why don't you get Old Black and come with me to attack that mountain? I'm going to flatten mountains and destroy strongholds soon. I heard there's sword manipulation technique there. Interested in learning it?"

Chu Feng egged them on, hoping to persuade the two oxen to return. They would undoubtedly be a formidable combination. If the three of them joined forces, they could sweep through everything, and even seizing one of the world's renowned mountains wouldn't be impossible.

The big black ox leaned closer to the camera, very surprised, staring at Chu Feng from its end. "You became a king?"

Its expression was strange. How long had it been? This kid actually stood on par with the yellow ox. It knew very well the yellow ox's immense background and how difficult it was for it to come from that world. This little ox wasn't just talking about becoming a saint or ancestor; it had that kind of foundation!

Yet now, this human kid had quickly become a king, just like the yellow ox. It was truly astonishing!

"Hmm, let me think. You've become a king, and Yellow Ox is also a king-level expert. It's time for us to do something big," the big black ox said, sitting cross-legged and stroking its chin with a black hoof, pondering for a moment.

Soon, the big black ox looked up, its eyes gleaming. "Kid Chu, over in the Vatican, blood is flowing like rivers; many people have died, and even several Beast Kings have fallen. It's the perfect time to pick up some bargains! Prepare yourself these next few days. Then, the three of us will head to Europe. If we can truly enter that sacred medicinal garden in the Vatican, our strength will definitely skyrocket!"

Chu Feng was tempted. He hadn't dared to go before because he wasn't strong enough, but now he could genuinely make a trip with this old ox, to "do something big," as it said!

He thought for a moment and said, "Boss Black, good things are appearing in the sea now too. I just got news that the Fusang Tree in the East Sea might be emerging. Should we go east first or west?"

"Are you crazy? The Fusang Tree has just emerged; it'll take months for it to bloom. We definitely go west first. Too many good things have grown in that sacred medicinal garden—some are human-shaped, and some are living creatures. Most importantly, divine pollen fills the air there, with a fragrant aroma. It's the current must-contend-for location!"

The big black ox spoke animatedly, wishing it could immediately rush to the West.

However, it had recently heard that countless casualties had occurred there, and even Beast Kings were falling. It felt a bit apprehensive for a moment. If Chu Feng joined them now, it would feel more confident.

After the call ended, Chu Feng was lost in thought for a while.

Soon after, Jiang Luoshen called him.

"Goddess, do you want to treat me to a meal again?" Chu Feng asked lazily.

Jiang Luoshen had been in a relatively good mood, but upon hearing this, a dark line immediately appeared on her face. What did he mean by "again"? She truly disliked that remark, as if she were chasing after him.

"Treat you? Dream on! I'm not even in Shuntian!" Jiang Luoshen scoffed.

"Then I'm relieved," Chu Feng said, "lest rumors of a 'three-day, two-night' story spread about us again."

"Chu Feng, are you looking for a beating? Don't think that just because you're a quasi-king, I can't handle you. Our Bodhi Gene has Shakyamuni disciples. Don't provoke me, or I'll bring people to suppress you!" Jiang Luoshen erupted.

This was because ever since she had been involved in endless controversies with Chu Feng, rumors were still circulating that she was at home, pregnant and resting.

"Alright, tell me, what do you want?" Chu Feng asked.

"Could you sell us some of the quasi-king flesh you have?" Jiang Luoshen asked, wanting to send it to the lab for research.

"Sure," Chu Feng stated his condition. "One jin of quasi-king flesh for a hundred jin of exotic soil."

"Why don't you just go rob someone?!"

After some bargaining, Jiang Luoshen decided to come to Shuntian within a few days for a face-to-face discussion.

Not long after, Du Huaijin, Ye Qingrou, Ouyang Qing, and Chen Luoyan arrived at Chu Feng's home.

"Boss, you're truly mighty! The outside world is about to explode. You single-handedly slew three quasi-kings—it's shocking and has caused a massive earthquake!"

Ouyang Qing and Du Huaijin were never reserved, shouting as soon as they entered.

Ye Qingrou also looked him over, even pinching his arm. "Is a quasi-king's body truly this translucent? Your skin is too good; it instantly gives me motivation to advance!"

With her naturally wavy long hair, beautiful and charming eyes, stunning figure, graceful demeanor, and bright smile, she brightened the room.

"Sister Qingrou, your skin is excellent. It's the boss's skin that's abnormal; look how white it is, like jade," Du Huaijin flattered Ye Qingrou.

"Do you understand 'icy skin and jade bones'?" Chu Feng glared at him.

Everyone laughed.

It was already dark. Chu Zhiyuan and Wang Jing woke up and, seeing such a lively scene, immediately felt very happy.

"Go invite old man Lu Tong too," Chu Feng chuckled. "Tonight we'll have a feast. Quasi-king level peacock meat tastes quite good; I guarantee you'll all be satisfied."

"Boss, you've eaten it before?" Ouyang Qing asked curiously.

"Yep, I roasted one on Mount Tai. I didn't have seasoning then, but it still tasted quite good!" Chu Feng informed them.

"Oh my god!"

The few of them exclaimed, immediately realizing that he was also responsible for the headless case on Mount Tai. That incident had been a sensation, spreading widely.

Even Chen Luoyan, who rarely spoke, was startled. That had caused an enormous uproar; it was said that the Peacock King went berserk that day and challenged human experts to a fight.

Ye Qingrou also had a strange expression, unable to fathom the person in front of her.

"Boss, you're really... too fierce! To dare roast a quasi-king there, that's just incredibly wild!"

Du Huaijin and Ouyang Qing were stunned, filled with admiration.

Lu Tong arrived, and upon hearing they were going to eat peacock meat, his face immediately fell. He was heartbroken and truly reluctant, having planned to send it all to the laboratory.

"Old man, you're too disingenuous! Last time you tricked us, saying the Wolf King's flesh was poisonous and inedible, which wasn't true at all. This time, no matter what, we're having a big feast!"

"Exactly! What about our king-blood elixirs? Hurry up and refine them! We're still waiting to catch up to Boss; otherwise, we'll be left far behind!"

That night, Chu Feng's home was filled with laughter and joy. A master chef was specifically invited to prepare the peacock meat, and without a doubt, everyone had a wonderful time.

Quasi-king level peacock meat was not something just anyone could eat. Everyone celebrated Chu Feng's return, and the safety of Chu Zhiyuan and Wang Jing was also a joyous occasion worth celebrating.

The next day, the outside world was still inundated with reports about Chu Feng killing the three quasi-kings. The news continued to ferment, causing immense ripples.

However, on the very same day, another incident occurred: someone from the Peacock Clan stepped forward, accusing Chu Feng of indiscriminate slaughter and demanding an explanation.

Furthermore, this peacock made a blatant threat, stating that Chu Feng was merely a quasi-king, and daring to act this way, he should beware of a true king-level expert striking him down!

The clan had a Peacock King with terrifying deterrent power, clearly intended to intimidate Chu Feng.

"Huh, did Kong Sheng not escape back? Does their clan still not know I'm a king?" Chu Feng was surprised. He immediately contacted old man Lu Tong and said, "Quickly search that mountain range! You might still catch Kong Sheng; he's likely critically wounded and couldn't escape!"

"I've already arranged for personnel," Lu Tong replied, like an old fox, having naturally and shrewdly caught onto that suspicious point long ago.

Still on the same day, someone from Mount Pan arrived in Shuntian, demanding Chu Feng present himself to atone for his "crimes."

This infuriated Chu Feng. The weasel lineage had almost killed his parents, and now they dared to threaten him and demand he go to Mount Pan to atone? He had already planned to attack that mountain anyway!
