Chapter 240: The World in Turmoil

This morning was destined to be anything but peaceful, especially for the awakened and mutated beings across the land of Jiangxi, who were all trembling!

Chu Feng, the Demonic King, had killed ten kings overnight, shaking the entire region!

It was said that the news came from the mutated creatures in the forest, who had witnessed the battle firsthand and were terrified to their core.

Such a battle was absolutely earth-shattering!

"Quick, hurry to the scene and get firsthand footage!"

"This is incredible! He's a monster. They said he was critically wounded and on the verge of death, yet he dragged his weary, injured body and managed to kill ten king-level experts!"

All kinds of people within Jiangxi went into a frenzy. Many organizations sprang into action, and media outlets joined in, wishing they had wings to fly to the scene and uncover the truth.

Unfortunately, by the time they arrived, the scene was already silent. All the bodies had been removed; not a single one was left behind.

However, it was clear that an astonishing battle had taken place there.

The ground was covered with broken branches and fallen leaves. The mountains were torn apart, forests destroyed, and blood stained everything.

Several hilltops had been leveled, leaving behind a scene of devastation and chaos.

Among the shattered terrain, there were pale golden scales, blood-stained fur, and even a few bone fragments, all belonging to king-level creatures!

Many people took photos, documenting the horrifying yet real scene, and sent them out to the world.

In other regions, when people woke up that morning, whether they habitually read the morning newspaper or preferred online news, they were stunned by the headlines.

"Chu Feng Near Death, Slaughters Ten Kings Overnight!"

"Peerless Breathing Technique, Desperate Counterattack!"

One sensational headline after another, all incredibly eye-catching.

Such news was incredibly impactful. Ten king-level creatures had died overnight, all at the hands of one person, leaving everyone speechless.

Just the day before, rumors were circulating that Chu Feng was severely wounded and had suffered extensive injuries after his battle with the Black Dragon Prince of the South Sea.

Yet, just one night later, news spread of his terrifying rampage and the slaughter of multiple kings.

Before this, many had assessed that, given Chu Feng's condition, he would remain weak for at least a long period.

The news headlines not only contained text but also various photos, illustrating how terrifying that battle was.

Giant footprints, seven to eight meters long, had cracked the mountain forests.

Horrifying claw marks from a raptor had directly ripped open a mountain ridge, leaving a terrifying chasm.

Astonishing palm prints had shattered an entire peak.

Even lightning strikes had devastated swathes of forest and melted several rocky mountains.

Once these reports were released, they shook every region and stunned onlookers.

"Seeing such news first thing in the morning makes me doubt reality itself," sighed an old scholar. The traces clearly indicated that a mythical, terrifying display of supernatural power had occurred during the night.

"Good thing my heart is strong and my tolerance sufficient, otherwise I'd truly be scared stiff."

"Is God Chu defying heaven itself? Killing ten kings in one night – if I had such a brilliant record, I'd boast about it for a lifetime; it's a miracle!" Even some of the awakened were exclaiming in awe.

That morning, news of Chu Feng's battle in Jiangxi spread everywhere, causing an uproar.

"Is our boss trying to become a god? He was severely wounded, yet he still managed to kill ten king-level creatures. That's simply terrifying and astonishing."

It wasn't just others; even acquaintances like Clairvoyant and Ye Qingrou were dumbfounded and utterly shocked when they heard.

Of course, they were also very worried.

As for Xiong Kun, Hu Sheng, and others, they felt their scalps prickle, believing that this "Young Uncle" had truly defied all expectations and was terrifyingly strange.

As mutated beings themselves, they were well aware of Peacock King's order to the kings of Jiangnan to kill Chu Feng. They had initially thought the Demonic King was in grave danger. Who could have imagined that in just one night, Chu Feng would counter-kill ten kings, shaking heaven and earth?

"Good boy, well done! That's satisfying!" Lu Tong burst into laughter upon hearing the news, but quickly his face darkened. It was truly despicable that so many people had tried to kill Chu Feng.

The old man quickly contacted his people and told them, "No matter what method you use to rescue Chu Feng, you must ensure his safety!"

Because Lu Tong knew deeply that while Chu Feng appeared formidable, having killed ten kings overnight, he must have paid a terrible price and was likely now on the verge of death.

At this moment, the major financial magnates were truly dumbfounded. It was they who had initially assessed Chu Feng's condition, believing he had lost most of his life. Who could have imagined he could still fight so ferociously, shaking the world?

Of course, if anyone was in the worst mood, it was naturally the Peacock King's lineage. They had commanded the kings of Jiangnan to intercept Chu Feng, only to receive such news.

This was truly frustrating. After this battle, regardless of Chu Feng's current condition, his prestige had undeniably climbed to a new height.

This was a glorious battle!

Within some major powers, there was a heavy silence. Not only had they failed to capture Chu Feng, but their own king-level experts had perished, a loss that was simply too great.

"We must capture him alive and obtain his breathing technique! At the very least, we must kill him!" Some individuals within a major power made this decision.

They feared that once Chu Feng recovered from his injuries, he would come seeking vengeance, unleashing a storm. A crazed Demonic King Chu would undoubtedly retaliate at any cost.

"It's fine, no clues were left behind. All traces have been erased, so it has nothing to do with us," some in other major powers discussed, not caring.

"Kill! We must kill the Demonic King Chu! This is the best opportunity. Don't worry, with peerless experts like Peacock King and Golden Crow King giving orders, what's there to fear? The most important thing is the breathing technique!"

Some of the mutated beings were very aggressive, especially the kings who had participated in the battle. They knew there was no way to resolve this peacefully. Since they failed to capture the Demonic King Chu in last night's battle, they were all in danger.

At this moment, some mutated experts had killing intent in their eyes, but deep down, they felt uncertain. If Chu Feng were to survive, they would likely face significant trouble.

"Those humans are still too cunning. Twenty or thirty kings teamed up, and even when they could have definitively killed the Demonic King Chu, those people didn't reveal their true forms. Dammit!" A beast king cursed, otherwise they could have dragged the major human powers down with them.

"It's truly a disgrace! So many of us kings went to hunt him, and instead, he killed ten of our experts and escaped!"

The king-level mutated creatures gathered, feeling resentful.

They even felt extremely stifled.

The reason was that they had gone to intercept Chu Feng, and some had died horribly. They didn't reflect on their own decision but instead resented Chu Feng even more.

At noon, another equally astonishing piece of news spread.

Peacock King and the Master of Jade Void Palace clashed near Jiangxi, leveling an entire mountain range.

This was a battle between peerless experts, taking place within Anhui province.

Peacock King had traveled south, intending to kill Chu Feng, but was intercepted by the Master of Jade Void Palace near Jiangxi, leading to a fierce battle.

It was clear that the Master of Jade Void Palace had acted very promptly and with precise information; otherwise, intercepting Peacock King would have been impossible.

However, if a figure of that caliber wished to escape and avoid a life-or-death struggle, even someone of the same level might not be able to completely stop them. Thus, many people's hearts were filled with apprehension.

"This is bad news! Peacock King has already reached Anhui, not far from Chu Feng!"

"Oh no, if Peacock King gets through, Chu Feng will be in grave danger!"

Many people were worried; the situation was very grim. With Chu Feng critically injured and near death, he would surely die if found.

Furthermore, news spread that Golden Crow King had also set off, heading south, and might find Chu Feng first.

Many mutated beings grew restless, and many began to act in secret.

After last night's battle, there was no need for anyone to deliberately spread the word; all king-level creatures had already realized that Chu Feng must possess an unbeatable breathing technique.

Otherwise, they could not believe that a dying person could unleash such power at the last moment, fight against multiple kings, and go on a rampage.

While this battle established Chu Feng's formidable reputation, it also confirmed that he possessed a mysterious inheritance, making more powerful individuals envious.

There were even rumors that some of the earliest mutated beings who established their own factions were tempted and might head south!

It's important to note that these individuals were all peerless experts who had broken six layers of shackles!

Suddenly, a storm began to brew!

Upon hearing such news, kings from all directions became restless, each wanting a piece of the action. If they could be the first to find Chu Feng and force him to reveal the breathing technique, they too could dominate a region in the future.

Heaven and Earth were about to undergo another transformation. If they could get their hands on the unbeatable breathing technique, it would undoubtedly be a powerful trump card, ensuring an exceptionally smooth path to evolution afterward.

"Whoever dares to trouble my brother, Old Ox will cripple them!"

The Big Black Ox roared in the western region. When he and the Yellow Ox received the news, their flight had already landed. The two oxen immediately wanted to hijack a plane to travel east again.

Fortunately, they restrained themselves at the last moment and asked Lu Tong to help them contact and negotiate with someone to find a passenger plane about to take off.

At the same time, the two oxen contacted Kunlun Mountain, calling upon friends and allies for support.

"Meow, whoever dares to bully my brother, Old Tiger won't let them off!" The Siberian Tiger was the first to leap up, his eyes gleaming mischievously. He declared, "That breathing technique belongs to our brother. Are you all looking for death?!"

This fellow had always been shameless, being the first to state his stance on Kunlun Mountain, primarily because he coveted that breathing technique.

A group of great demons from Kunlun Mountain were stirred up, coming forward one after another, declaring their intention to head east. They stated that Chu Feng was their brother, and if anyone wanted to die, they should just try it.

Undoubtedly, Kunlun was a formidable and undeniable power. As soon as the news broke, it shook the East!

Soon after, the Old Grandmaster of Wudang Mountain made his stance clear: he would head south to oppose the mutated beings attempting to kill Chu Feng, directly challenging Golden Crow King and others.

The Masters of Eight Views Palace and Jade Lake Palace also stepped forward, stating that if Peacock King, Golden Crow King, Nine-Lives Cat King, and others dared to kill, they wouldn't mind leveling mountains and destroying strongholds, sweeping away the peaks where the mutated kings resided.

For a time, the entire world was in turmoil, causing massive waves.

"Heh, interesting. All the powerful individuals can't sit still. Does that Chu truly possess an unbeatable breathing technique? Is it even more powerful than the peerless technique hidden within my Xingyi Twelve True Forms?" A man in white robes smiled faintly.

He was confident because the Xingyi boxing he obtained was an original manual inscribed on animal hide, not the versions circulating outside.

Moreover, this manual contained a mysterious and unfathomable breathing technique!

Beside the man in white was a handsome yet eerie three-eyed man, who spoke with a cold smile: "Many powerful individuals from the Sea Race will come ashore and will certainly rush to hunt Chu Feng. I should act as well."

"Is that so? I'll also make a trip!" The man in white's eyes gleamed brightly; he too was ready to act.
