Chapter 259: Who Can Stop

Though Chu Feng stood enveloped by a radiant light, as if shrouded by a great sun, he was nonetheless full of killing intent. His words were ice-cold; even when facing a multitude of kings, he showed no fear, declaring his intent to kill them all.

"Ha... haha!" Gan Yue burst out laughing, enraged. This human, whom he had dismissed as insignificant and intended to swat dead with a single slap, now threatened to kill them all. His pupils turned chillingly cold. The thought of his elaborate plans for the day coming to naught, resulting in heavy losses and an unexpected assault with thermal weapons, filled him with shock and fury.

"Chu Feng, you couldn't atone for your sins even if you died a hundred times over! Because of you, my flying disc was destroyed on Mount Longhu. And today, you dare to conspire against me with laser weapons? You won't live!" Gan Yue roared, unleashing a terrifying killing intent. Immediately, sand and stones flew, and ancient trees were uprooted across the area, all swept up by the energy he unleashed. It was as if a powerful field had formed around him, causing ten-thousand-pound boulders to levitate and undulate with his heavy breathing.

"It's you!" Chu Feng was instantly enraged. He had previously seen the three-eyed sea race expert with Xu Qing, who wore white, but he hadn't known that this individual was the owner of the flying disc. Had Chu Feng known the three-eyed sea race expert's identity when he last saw him with the man in white, he would have acted immediately; there's no way he would have allowed him to live until now!

Chu Feng had no recollection of any past grievances with this individual, yet he had been pursued by a flying disc on Mount Longhu, nearly dying there and resulting in two cows being severely wounded on the mountain. Such a person, who had once tried to kill him with a flying disc and now set an ambush here, was utterly intolerable! Chu Feng's eyes turned icy, and his heart burned with fury. It was clear that the other party had initiated the hostility, attempting to kill him first, yet they now acted like the victim and remained brazenly arrogant.

"Three-eyed scoundrel, get over here and face your death!" Chu Feng roared.

Upon hearing this, Gan Yue's vertical eye on his forehead emitted a startling beam of light. As it opened and closed, it pulsed with terrifying fluctuations that sent shivers down one's spine. His body was stained with blood, and he had wounds on his arms and legs, but they weren't severe. He was fortunate not to have been critically injured.

"Peacock King, let's kill him!" Gan Yue turned, his gaze fixed on the Peacock Clan's foremost expert. He utterly detested Chu Feng, yet he sensed the other's formidable power. It was far beyond what he had imagined; a single slap would not suffice. He would need to join forces with the Peacock King. The other surrounding kings were also tempted. Chu Feng's ferocity was immense; surely, if Gan Yue and the Peacock King joined forces, they could quickly eliminate him.

At that moment, the Peacock King's entire right side was covered in blood. Unfortunately, a laser beam had pierced completely through his right chest, leaving a clear hole; anyone else would have been incinerated. Some of the laser weapons Lu Tong had deployed this time possessed terrifying power, far beyond what any flesh-and-blood body could endure, even for peerless experts. Not long ago, on Mount Yunluo, everyone's spiritual senses had failed, preventing them from detecting danger in advance, due to the Dragon-Locking Stakes deployed at the foot of the mountain. No one had detected the threat beforehand, and when the sky filled with interwoven light beams, it wasn't a matter of strength allowing one to escape. Luck played a significant role in who emerged unscathed.

Though gravely wounded, the Peacock King remained composed. His long purple hair was matted with blood, yet his face remained flawlessly beautiful, and his eyes were profound. He showed no anger, only a calm gaze directed at Chu Feng. At this moment, he truly wished to strike and kill the young man. However, he also knew he wasn't at his peak, and the area was too peculiar—his spiritual senses were inexplicably suppressed. Thus, he refrained from acting rashly.

"Chu Feng, I came for you, journeying south to kill you. I didn't expect you to grow this much, and so quickly!" The Peacock King spoke without pretense, revealing his true intentions with a cold gaze.

"Peacock King!" Chu Feng likewise fixed his gaze on him. This Peacock King, famed as invincible, had indeed exerted immense pressure on him in the past, but today, Chu Feng felt no fear. "Come, fight me, and I'll strike you down!" Chu Feng challenged. It could be said that the major battles across Jiangxi province were largely due to the Peacock King, as it was his command that had incited a series of conflicts among the kings.

From the forest, a human clad in armor stepped forward, urging the Peacock King and Gan Yue to join forces and eliminate Chu Feng. At that moment, Chu Feng's eyes sharpened instantly. He had been observing them, and he had seen earlier that it was a human king, colluding with otherworldly beings to kill him. Furthermore, he recognized this human king as one of those who had besieged him that night; he hadn't expected him to show up today!

"There's another one!" Chu Feng's pupils grew even colder. At the very back stood another human king, intensifying the killing intent on his face. It was one thing for otherworldly beings to oppose him and contend with him, but to have two human kings collude with them to conspire against him was an entirely different matter. Which two great magnates were behind this? Chu Feng's killing intent boiled!

"I am unwell today; I will not engage in conflict with you." No one had expected the Peacock King to speak this way. His eyes were profound, his expression calm and unruffled, utter tranquility as he uttered these words naturally.

"You came here to ambush me, and you think you can just walk away unscathed!?" Chu Feng said with a chilling tone. In truth, he was marshalling all his energy, preparing for a sudden, explosive assault. Even against two top-tier kings who had broken through six shackles, he was fearless.

"This is a once-in-a-millennium opportunity, Peacock King! You shouldn't retreat; you must strike and kill him!" The armored human king insisted, trying to persuade the Peacock King. The human king hidden at the very back also nodded, echoing, "Exactly! He's growing too fast; he can already contend with kings who have broken through six shackles. Who will be able to suppress him in the future? He must possess a peerless breathing technique. Peacock King, please reconsider; you should seize this excellent opportunity to capture him!"

This caused Chu Feng's killing intent to surge. The beams of light shooting from his pupils turned chillingly cold, and the golden radiance emanating from his body intensified. Both human kings wore metal armor, their faces entirely covered by helmets, with only their eyes visible, making it impossible to discern their true features.

"Hiding your faces, exposing your tails—none of you will escape! You will all die!" Chu Feng glared at them.

"Chu Feng, how dare you act so brazenly in front of me? I won't tolerate your insolence!" Gan Yue declared, his voice frigid and his gaze chillingly sinister. He discerned that the Peacock King, having sustained severe injuries, genuinely wished to avoid conflict. As a powerful sea race expert, Gan Yue was confident he could kill Chu Feng himself and saw no need to press the Peacock King for assistance.

"Yes, seize this chance to kill him!" one human king asserted.

"Kill him!" the Banjiu King declared.

At this point, excluding the Peacock King, Gan Yue, and the two human kings, there were also four other otherworldly kings, totaling eight formidable combatants.

"I'll cut you all down!"

Just then, Chu Feng finally moved. He had been continuously circulating his breathing technique, gathering immense, boundless energy. Now, reaching his peak state, he launched a powerful offensive. At the same time, he openly wielded the purple-gold lightning hammer in his left hand, unleashing a full-force attack charged with terrifying killing intent. A crimson flying sword was also summoned, hovering above his head.

Chu Feng, alone, confronted eight powerful individuals, actively initiating the assault. The fact that the Peacock King was among them would be utterly shocking if word got out. Who would dare to be so presumptuous? Who could be so powerful as to single-handedly face eight masters, including two peerless kings?

Thunder exploded, blasting forward. A terrifying, intensely bright lightning bolt shot from the purple-gold lightning hammer, striking towards the three-eyed sea race expert.

"You!" Gan Yue's gaze turned sinister. The opponent had used a lightning attack against him, apparently just to force him back.

At that moment, Chu Feng took a single step, breaking the sound barrier to arrive instantly. His target was the Peacock King, and he erupted with dazzling light beams, like a golden volcano erupting.

Boom!

The heavens shook, the earth trembled, and the void fractured. In mere moments, Chu Feng covered the thousand-meter distance, rushing forward to strike the Peacock King with a raised fist.

"Everyone, let's attack together and kill him!" The two human kings remained the most eager. Hearing this, several otherworldly kings decisively moved, but Gan Yue remained still. He wanted to see if the Peacock King would actually engage.

Boom!

The Peacock King acted decisively, stomping hard on the ground before rocketing into the sky. In an instant, he ascended hundreds of meters, continuing his upward trajectory. Chu Feng leaped almost simultaneously, lunging towards the sky!

Whoosh!

On the ground, the two human kings and four otherworldly experts all struck, unleashing terrifying energy beams to bombard Chu Feng in mid-air. But it was already slightly too late; Chu Feng had soared eight hundred meters into the sky, where he clashed fiercely with the Peacock King. Furthermore, holding nothing back, he swung the purple-gold lightning hammer towards the Peacock King, unleashing a terrifyingly potent burst of lightning.

Clang!

A palm-sized, ancient-looking bronze mirror appeared in the Peacock King's hand. With a flick of his wrist, he used it to block the purple-gold lightning hammer. Remarkably, part of the lightning was blocked by the ancient mirror, while another part was absorbed, causing the mirror to glow with divine light. This was very strange; how could a metal mirror possibly dissipate lightning? Chu Feng realized this must be a magical artifact, capable of countering the purple-gold lightning hammer. Such items were exceedingly rare, yet the Peacock King possessed one!

Their fist-strikes met without reservation, erupting with immense power in the sky as they rapidly collided.

Boom!

Finally, the Peacock King spread his wings, revealing his true form. As Chu Feng plummeted, the king soared away across the vast sky. Feathers drifted down from the sky, along with splatters of blood—the Peacock King's blood. He had been gravely wounded by a laser weapon earlier, leaving a large hole in his chest. During the clash with Chu Feng just now, his wound had burst open!

The Peacock King fled without another word, spreading his wings and soaring away, to everyone's astonishment. The kings on the ground felt deeply unsettled. Lasers crisscrossed, aimed at the Peacock King in the distant sky, but he evaded them in advance. Having moved beyond the range of the Dragon-Locking Stakes, his spiritual senses had returned!

"If he left, then he left; it's no big deal. I'll kill him myself!" the three-eyed sea race expert Gan Yue declared coldly.

At that moment, Chu Feng descended at extreme speed. Upon impact, the ground shattered completely. The instant Chu Feng landed, instead of engaging the three-eyed sea race expert, he fixed his gaze on the two human kings and charged straight towards them.

"How dare you run wild in my presence!" Gan Yue bellowed, charging forward to intercept him.

"Get lost! What are you to me? Can you stop me from killing whoever I want?!" Chu Feng retorted, his body radiating intense light as he unleashed a powerful punch. Amidst blinding flashes of light, the two powerhouses clashed once. Chu Feng, however, merely pushed through, continuing his charge towards the two human kings.

Gan Yue's face turned ashen. He roared, "You dare!"

The two human kings immediately turned to flee, scattering in different directions.

Boom!

Chu Feng swung his purple-gold lightning hammer, directly unleashing a terrifying beam of light that struck one of the kings, sending him flying sideways, engulfed in crackling electricity.

Splatter!

The next instant, Chu Feng rushed forward, unleashing a punch that shattered the lower half of the airborne king's body! The crimson flying sword hovering near him also slashed, severing both of the man's arms. Chu Feng did not take his life, leaving him alive but incapacitated to prevent movement or escape. He intended to interrogate him after the battle to discover which magnate he served.

Chu Feng then dashed in another direction, catching up with the other fleeing human king and delivering a powerful blow that severed the lower half of his body, rendering him unable to escape! Throughout this process, both human kings had attempted to resist, but their efforts were futile. They were no match for Chu Feng and quickly fell into pools of their own blood.

"You dare!" Gan Yue roared, utterly furious. In mere moments, Chu Feng had consecutively attacked, incapacitating the two individuals Gan Yue had intended to protect.

"What's there not to dare? It's your turn!" Chu Feng turned back, raising his fist to strike the three-eyed sea race expert. "You're a clay Buddha trying to cross a river, barely able to save yourself, yet you dare to boast? Today, I will surely kill you!" The escape of the Peacock King infuriated Chu Feng, and he resolved to leave no one else alive.
