Chapter 262: Storms Yet to Settle

The mountain forest was ravaged, as if plowed by a giant with divine blood. Black fissures, several meters wide, were everywhere on the ground, creating a scene of utter desolation.

Blood stained the broken branches and fallen leaves, and even the massive rocks were cracked open.

Chu Feng stood alone in the mountain forest. After a single battle, he had slain more than a dozen King-level creatures; with the exception of the Peacock King, who fled, all other Kings were annihilated.

This was an earth-shattering event; once word got out, it would cause a massive upheaval.

This time, he swept through them with overwhelming force, completely different from the last time he slew ten Kings at night. He neither fled nor was injured; instead, he single-handedly, powerfully suppressed all the Kings. Most crucially, in this battle, he also killed a Sea Race expert who had broken six shackles, eliminating a peerless master.

Such a brilliant feat was enough to terrify anyone. On land, creatures at the level of Gan Yue were now considered top masters. Even the Peacock King, renowned as invincible, fled without fighting, retreating directly.

At this moment, several major nations were shaken. While the general public was still unaware, high-level officials were already alarmed, and a wave of unrest was brewing.

Today, Mount Yunluo saw the use of both missiles and laser weapons. The scale was immense, like a full-blown war, and satellite imagery captured the scene, shocking several countries.

"Can someone tell me what happened?" European parliamentarians wondered. "Did the East declare war on the aberrations? Can conventional weapons now kill King-level creatures?!"

Although some European parliamentarians did not yet understand the full situation, they were already greatly alarmed.

"Don't King-level creatures have precognition of danger?" some high-level officials questioned, utterly bewildered. "What were those people in the East thinking? How dare they engage in such a massive confrontation with aberrations?!"

Some high-level personnel were extremely shocked and, at the same time, puzzled. If conventional weapons could lock onto and kill King-level creatures, there would be nothing to fear; they could simply eliminate all terrifying mutated creatures in the world and live without dread.

"Gentlemen, please look at the following footage," a Western general stated. "There are even more terrifying scenes that will make you tremble!" He had received information earlier and had already viewed all the images sent back by satellites. At that time, he was completely stunned, staring blankly.

"A person glowing all over is slaughtering King-level creatures," one exclaimed. "Just one person, massacring a multitude of Kings?!"

"My God, what did I see?" another gasped. "Just one person, he actually went to confront more than a dozen King-level creatures. How strong is he really?!"

"You're wrong," someone corrected. "It wasn't a confrontation; it was a massacre! He alone killed almost all the King-level experts!"

"Is this a super-soldier secretly trained by the East?" one wondered. "No," another countered, "this is a god of war, sweeping away opponents, invincible. It's too terrifying!"

The Western parliamentarians were astonished, each one utterly shocked and simply unable to believe what had happened that day. It was utterly preposterous. King-level creatures that could survive being bombarded by so many missiles and laser weapons were absolutely terrifying. Yet, in the end, they were all slaughtered by a single person.

Moreover, from the footage transmitted by satellites, the energy levels unleashed during the battle could be analyzed. Among the killed creatures, there was actually a peerless master who had broken six shackles. This was truly horrifying, making many Western parliamentarians dizzy with shock.

Had the East actually cultivated such a super-soldier?

"This is defying heaven!" someone exclaimed. "After conventional weapons bombardment, only one person was sent to deal with all the King-level experts, sweeping through them, shattering the earth and sky. It's too astonishing."

In the satellite footage, this person was radiating light from head to toe, as if enveloped by a golden sun, exceptionally brilliant and impossible to look at directly. Such a posture, such a scene, was like a god descending to earth!

Evidently, with an event of such magnitude, some financial conglomerates were extremely well-informed, contacting specialists to understand the situation and obtain first-hand information. In fact, in this post-civilization era, some major financial conglomerates even had their own intelligence satellites, allowing them to quickly grasp the situation.

Anyone who saw those images felt their scalp tingle. How could one person be so powerful? A single leap covered several miles, and a sudden jump could propel them a thousand meters into the sky. This was truly inconceivable, like something out of a myth!

Mount Yunluo had completely disappeared, utterly annihilated.

Standing in the mountain forest, Chu Feng contacted Lu Tong, informing him that the battle was over and that with the exception of the Peacock King, who fled, all others had been killed.

Upon receiving the news, Lu Tong was speechless for a long time. This was simply too ferocious; how long had it been since they last met? The young man had turned into a god of slaughter.

"How many King-level creatures came in total this time?" Lu Tong asked carefully after recovering his composure.

"There were probably more than twenty," Chu Feng informed him. "Some perished when Mount Yunluo exploded, and a dozen or so who escaped were dealt with by me."

Lu Tong felt dizzy upon hearing this. Killing over twenty King-level creatures in one battle was too terrifying, an earth-shattering event.

"He's really stirred up trouble!" Lu Tong sighed, because almost all of them were killed by one person. Even with conventional weapons, fewer had been killed than by Chu Feng alone!

One could imagine that an earth-shattering storm was coming. Who could keep such a matter secret? All parties would seek information; other countries and organizations would be unable to sit still.

"Don't you always complain that I kill King-level creatures and don't leave them for you?" Chu Feng said with a smile. "This time I won't roast them; come quickly to collect them."

Lu Tong immediately perked up. This time, the harvest would be immense. Several top-tier laboratories had made groundbreaking progress in their research on King-level blood medicine. What was currently lacking was fresh blood. With so many King-level creatures killed, they would likely pile up into small mountains, absolutely the most ideal materials.

Lu Tong was overjoyed, saying, "Haha... you've done a great service. Once we develop a potion that allows everyone to rapidly evolve, it will change the current landscape."

Chu Feng told him to quickly send people and not delay. At the same time, he added, "I crippled two human Kings. Get me professionals to interrogate them thoroughly. I want to overthrow the conglomerates behind them! Do they really think I'm easy to bully? I'll make them pay a bloody price!"

Chu Feng's words were filled with murderous intent. He was truly enraged. Those people had repeatedly attacked him, making them more detestable than the aberrations. For instance, when the Peacock King tried to retreat, those two human Kings actually kept dissuading him, urging the Peacock King to stay and kill Chu Feng together. He asked himself, he had no deep-seated grudge against those conglomerates, yet he was targeted in such a way. Thinking carefully, it was mainly because major conglomerates had made their move that night. Some believed he was gravely wounded and dying, beyond recovery, and conspired with aberrations to besiege him, wanting to seize his so-called peerless breathing technique. Perhaps those people felt that animosity already existed, and thus needed to completely eliminate him!

"When dealing with aberrations, you were nowhere to be seen," Chu Feng murmured to himself, his gaze like a torch! "When the Eastern Expeditionary Army arrived, you offered no help. But when it comes to dealing with your own kind, you're all more ruthless than the last!"

Shortly after, he calmed down and began to clean up the aftermath, traversing the various battle zones. Even he was dumbfounded, as most King creatures had been "broken apart."

He chopped off the most succulent parts of the Turtledove's wings, then cut off a thick hind leg from the Ram King, and also sliced off a large piece of sinewy meat from the Mountain Leopard. This meat was crystalline and gleaming, its energy not yet dispersed.

Chu Feng washed these King-level ingredients near a spring and put them into his spatial bottle. He was quite satisfied with the three-inch tall, pure white bottle. Afterward, Chu Feng dug out all four brass pillars, cleaned them, and placed them into the mutton-fat jade purification vase.

Chu Feng came to the ruins of Mount Yunluo, searching carefully. Some broken bones remained, from ferocious beasts and avian Kings, almost completely annihilated.

"That young Xinyi master didn't come, surprisingly," Chu Feng murmured, frowning. When he saw the three-eyed Sea Race expert here, he thought the young man in white would also appear.

"What a pity," Chu Feng regretted. "I really missed my chance last time. I should have just choked him to death!" However, he was not afraid. He would simply kill that young Xinyi master honorably in the future!

Not long after, a special military unit from Jiangxi Province arrived, sealing off the area and preventing outsiders from approaching. In addition, there were laboratory personnel, also dispatched from Jiangxi Province. All of them were extremely excited; upon hearing there was a large amount of King-level flesh and blood, they were instantly filled with fervor.

"My God!" Both military personnel and laboratory staff, after seeing the terrifying sight of the mountain forest, cried out in shock, then were stunned into speechless awe. Blood-soaked, severed limbs and broken bodies lay everywhere. Enormous beasts lay sprawled, avian Kings were torn limb from limb, each as large as a small hill, and the mountain ridges had collapsed from the impact.

Seeing the person sitting on the mountain rocks in the distance like a demon god, everyone felt awe and trembled, truly as if facing a terrifying deity.

"One died?!" Chu Feng's expression turned cold. One of the two human Kings actually committed suicide; he was a tough one, which displeased Chu Feng. Fortunately, the other was afraid of death and still alive. Chu Feng pointed a finger, once again destroying the vitality and energy within his body, to prevent any mishaps, effectively crippling the man. He hadn't forgotten how ferocious the Cyan Wolf King had been even with only half a body remaining.

He removed the helmets covering the faces of the two, revealing their true appearances. He didn't recognize either of them; both were middle-aged men.

"Help me interrogate them thoroughly!" Chu Feng said to the professionals.

"Yes, please rest assured!"

Not long after, Lu Tong contacted Chu Feng again. The moment the call connected, the old man complained, saying, "Kid, although you didn't roast them this time, all the King-level creatures were blown apart by you! There are chunks of meat everywhere; it's impossible to tell what species they are anymore!"

Chu Feng gave a dry laugh and said, "I was practicing my fist techniques; I didn't control my strength well."

"What are your plans now? This incident has caused a huge stir!" Lu Tong asked in a low voice.

"What plans? I don't think it's big enough yet!" Chu Feng declared. "Next, I'm going to level mountains and destroy strongholds, heading to the major conglomerates. If they don't give me a satisfactory explanation, if they can't clear their names, I'll overthrow them all and kill them without exception! All this time, have they truly seen me as 'Tang Monk's flesh'? They will pay the price for this!"

"Take it easy, don't be rash!" Lu Tong was startled, then asked in a low voice, "By the way, how exactly did you nullify the divine senses of those King-level creatures?"

"I suppressed them with my own divine sense."

"Nonsense, tell me quickly."

"I'll tell you about it when I return to Shuntian." Chu Feng hung up directly. He didn't want Lu Tong to take the four brass pillars for research; what if they were melted down or destroyed?

The news finally began to leak: a peerless, earth-shattering battle had occurred at Mount Yunluo! Now, the area was sealed off by the military, and no one was allowed to approach. This incident caused an enormous stir, instantly drawing worldwide attention. Everyone's eyes turned to Mount Yunluo in Jiangxi Province, and countless people were seeking details.
