Chapter 398: Caught a Saintess

Chu Feng's gaze became even more askance after hearing those words; it was typical toad-like arrogance, not looking people in the eye, and he had been severely "infected" by it.

Huang Weiyue had been smiling, but her expression stiffened slightly. To be looked at askance, and for the other person to react like this to her words, was unexpected.

Was he slighting her?

In truth, when she had faced Chu Feng earlier, although she was smiling, deep down in her eyes was mockery, though it hadn't been obvious.

Now, she suddenly realized, was he adopting the same dismissive attitude towards her?

"What do you mean?!" a creature nearby spoke, highly sensitive to Chu Feng's askance glance. Its body was dark red, and a row of bone spurs protruded from its spine, making it look ferocious.

"My apologies, my eyes haven't been feeling well lately," Chu Feng replied, observing the group with considerable interest.

The creature that had just spoken, apart from its dark red skin and the bone spurs on its spine, greatly resembled humans, belonging to a humanoid species.

"You're all Descenders, aren't you?" Chu Feng asked.

"Heh, you're right. Come with us; your talents won't be wasted," Huang Weiyue chuckled, though in her heart, she had already condemned him to death, certain he would come to a bad end.

At this point, even though Chu Feng had broken eight shackles, he still appeared unthreatening, not revealing his true power.

"To be honest, I'm quite intrigued, but I don't know much about you, nor anything about that Prince. Could you tell me more?" Chu Feng smiled, no longer looking at them askance.

"You'll know everything once you meet the Prince," Han Wenze said, his expression calm.

Upon seeing him, Chu Feng immediately found him familiar. There was a young man named Han Fei from Celestial God Organisms who had secretly tried to kill Chu Feng and was subsequently killed by him.

That young man, Han Fei, greatly resembled Han Wenze and also had a cluster of crimson markings on his forehead.

Instantly, Chu Feng understood many things.

"Has that Prince crossed over yet?" Chu Feng asked with a peculiar look.

Han Wenze's expression remained placid, but he glanced at Chu Feng with surprise and a hint of wariness. This young man was remarkably sharp, immediately probing them.

"Let's go, I'll take you to him," Han Wenze said.

Chu Feng feigned compliance, talking with them to learn more about the situation.

However, these individuals smiled coldly and revealed no valuable information, keeping their mouths tightly shut.

"Did you all descend to Earth twenty-two years ago, sleeping in the Arctic Primordial Magnetic Cave all these years, or were you lying dormant near the old Qilin Nest?"

Chu Feng asked, not expecting a reply, but hoping to make some judgments by observing their expressions.

"You talk too much!" the dark-red, bone-spurred creature said coldly.

"I'm just curious. Oh, by the way, is that Evolution Dynasty very powerful?" Chu Feng continued to ask questions.

Huang Weiyue smiled and said, "The lineage of the Evolution Dynasty is unimaginable, and their Prince is naturally dazzling. He can achieve super evolution and become a supreme being. It is an honor for us to follow such a person."

Chu Feng felt extreme revulsion, filled with disgust. He no longer wished to probe further.

"Come with us to meet His Royal Highness," Han Wenze said.

Hearing this, Chu Feng's disgust intensified, but on the surface, he feigned hesitation.

Seeing this, Huang Weiyue narrowed her eyes, her lips curling slightly into a sneer. Since her face was veiled, she didn't worry about being noticed.

"What a bother. Just take him," said the dark-red creature with bone spurs on its back.

"Alright, I'll go and see with you," Chu Feng said, stepping forward.

After a few steps, with a thunderous roar, he erupted with his full power, suddenly launching a lethal attack.

Chu Feng was so fast that no one could react. Sand and stones flew, and the sonic boom was terrifying as he unleashed the Ox Demon Fist, striking the creature with bone spurs on its back.

The creature roared in shock and fury, raising its hand to strike forward. At the same time, its spine glowed, and the bone spurs were about to fly out, intending to pierce Chu Feng's body.

However, Chu Feng's punch was too swift. Unleashing it without reservation, he preempted the attack, intending to kill with a single blow. How could he give the creature a chance?

The punch was incredibly overbearing, manifesting its true form: a black wild ox burst forth from his fist print, striding proudly as if treading among stars, with brilliant starlight all around.

The punch struck true, shattering the creature's right arm, piercing its chest, and instantly tearing its body into pieces before it exploded into a large spray of blood.

"Pathetic!" Chu Feng declared.

This was a creature that had broken eight shackles, at the same level as him, yet he had utterly obliterated it with a single strike.

Huang Weiyue shrieked, fearful of being splattered with blood. Being a clean freak, she quickly retreated.

Besides Huang Weiyue and Han Wenze, the area also contained a man with silver horns on his head and a middle-aged man with a scorpion tail.

Now, all four moved simultaneously, launching their respective attacks at Chu Feng.

Chu Feng, like a phantom, burst out of the encirclement through the gap he had created and immediately turned, sprinting towards Zijin Mountain.

This was because the location was too close to Jiangning City, and if a major battle erupted, he feared it would affect the people in the city.

"Where do you think you're going?!" the four shouted angrily, pursuing him relentlessly. They were Descenders from the old Qilin Nest, and to have one of their members die so swiftly was utterly humiliating.

Chu Feng's heart tightened. Aside from the creature he had just killed, which was slightly weaker, the remaining four were all beings who had broken nine shackles. What a powerful lineup!

They truly thought highly of him, sending such a formidable group to capture and kill him!

If he hadn't just broken through in the Supreme Eight Trigrams Furnace, shattering his eighth shackle, this time would have been perilous. Several extraterrestrials attacking together would, by all accounts, be unstoppable for Earth's current evolvers!

However, Chu Feng was now fearless. His evolutionary stage was slightly lower than these four, having one less shackle broken, but this was not an issue for him.

He had always been capable of fighting against evolvers of a higher stage.

He commanded the ultimate breathing technique, was in peak condition, and his combat power far surpassed that of ordinary individuals.

In fact, Chu Feng suspected that as his physique continued to improve, this trend would become even more astonishing!

"Chu Feng, you're truly despicable!" Behind him, Huang Weiyue's expression was grim.

The air exploded as these powerful individuals pursued him like thunder.

"Stop!"

Han Wenze waved his hand, stopping short. He ceased the pursuit because they had reached the Zijin Mountain area, and he was cautious, fearing Chu Feng might activate the domain.

Chu Feng had stopped. Here, far from the city, he could act without fear of harming innocents.

In Jiangning City, many had heard the commotion, especially the tragic death of a powerful being outside the city, alarming numerous people who were now rushing towards the area.

"Chu Feng, you've made a grave mistake. Come with me to meet the exceptionally talented Prince and ask for his forgiveness," Han Wenze said.

Truthfully, he wanted to kill Chu Feng with a single palm strike to eliminate this menace, but Mu Qing had requested that Chu Feng be captured alive and made to kneel at the Prince's feet.

Chu Feng spoke, "You look somewhat familiar. I once killed a man named Han Fei who, like you, had a cluster of crimson markings on his forehead. What's your relationship with him?"

Han Wenze's face darkened considerably. That was his illegitimate son on Earth.

Their clan bore crimson markings on their foreheads, a unique racial insignia. It was rumored that these crimson markings would possess great power upon evolving to a higher level.

"You're seeking death!" Han Wenze roared. Regardless of whether he truly cared about Han Fei's life or death, Chu Feng's taunt and provocation pushed him beyond his limit.

Chu Feng glanced askance, a smile plastered across his face, and took a few steps back, entering the Zijin Mountain domain.

He didn't intend to use the terrain to his advantage; he merely wanted to say a few more words. However, after glancing at Han Wenze, he lost interest and stopped bothering with him.

Chu Feng looked at Huang Weiyue and asked, "You're a Descender; do you consider yourself a saintess?"

Huang Weiyue was surprised, her expression peculiar. At a time like this, how could this young man still be in the mood to ask such a question?

"Relatively speaking, within my sect, yes," she said. Her sect was very small, and compared to other lineages, it was truly insignificant.

"Really?!" Chu Feng feigned surprise, and then... he attacked, actively charging out of the Zijin Mountain domain.

Han Wenze's gaze turned chilling, and Huang Weiyue also revealed killing intent. As for the other two, it went without saying that they exerted their full strength, aiming to capture him alive.

However, once they truly engaged, all four were terrified. Chu Feng's strength was terrifying; after clashing, their hands bled, and their bodies shook violently.

Earlier, the death of the creature that had only broken eight shackles, while surprising, hadn't instilled fear in them, as they could have achieved the same feat.

But now they were truly rattled. What was happening? Fighting one against four, and still being so fierce!

After an intense exchange, Chu Feng struck like lightning, almost capturing Huang Weiyue. With a tearing sound, he ripped off a section of her sleeve, leaving several blood marks on her delicate arm.

Next, he forced back the man with the scorpion tail and caused the man with silver horns to cough up large mouthfuls of blood.

Then, Chu Feng shot into the air, swooping down on Huang Weiyue, determined to capture her.

Figures flew everywhere. As Chu Feng repelled them, he surged forward again. Finally, with a loud bang, he landed a punch on Huang Weiyue's body. She coughed up large mouthfuls of blood, and a blood-filled hole appeared straight through her body, nearly causing her to explode.

Her veil tore into fragments, and at the same time, Chu Feng seized her.

"Someone like you... is also a saintess?" Chu Feng feigned surprise.

Seeing his expression, Huang Weiyue's face turned ashen with rage, even though she was captured. She was exceptionally furious.

"Aren't saintesses supposed to be in their prime, around sixteen? I'd say you're definitely 28, or even 38! You're a liar!"

This attitude of his infuriated Huang Weiyue to the point her lungs felt like they would burst. She was a woman, and while it was true she was no longer young, being ridiculed like this was unbearable.

Suddenly, Chu Feng's hair stood on end. He grabbed Huang Weiyue and retreated at extreme speed.

At that critical moment, Han Wenze finally unleashed his trump card. Seizing the opportunity while Chu Feng was distracted, he conjured the Spirit-Binding Rope. He had been waiting for this chance.

Ever since he personally experienced Chu Feng's terrifying power, he knew that only this secret artifact could turn the tide with a single strike at a crucial moment.

The Spirit-Binding Rope looked like an ordinary hemp rope, slightly imbued with a pale gold hue, not particularly eye-catching. But now, upon landing, it darted forward like a surging dragon-serpent, rushing towards Chu Feng.

Most importantly, its speed was incredible!

Chu Feng was startled. He had a feeling that if he were truly entangled by this rope, he would likely be in great trouble. It was a trump card.

He directly hurled the "saintess" he held in his hand towards the strange hemp rope.

Huang Weiyue shrieked. She was directly smashed to the ground, colliding with the pale gold hemp rope and suffering severe injuries.

The rope first emitted a golden light, then wrapped around her, directly severing her body in half.

"Han Wenze!" she shrieked, roaring in fear.

Han Wenze was drenched in sweat. Once the Spirit-Binding Rope was unleashed, it automatically pursued its prey and was somewhat out of control, no longer under his command.

This rope seemed to possess a peculiar spiritual essence!

After severing Huang Weiyue's body in half, the Spirit-Binding Rope soared up again like a golden serpent rearing its head, charging towards Chu Feng with lightning speed.

Chu Feng immediately activated the Adamant Girdle, sensing that this rope was a secret treasure, extremely sinister, likely refined by a powerful being among evolvers.

This time, he didn't smash it out forcefully but rather skillfully conjured it, unleashing the Solar Fire Essence absorbed by the snow-white bracelet.

Flames danced, and the essence of the sun burst forth, dazzling the eyes. This was a high-grade energy; the Solar Fire Essence engulfed the rope, inherently counteracting it.

In an instant, the pale gold rope was burned through.

"This..." Han Wenze was stunned. This weapon, reputed to easily suppress those in the Shackle Realm, had been destroyed just like that?!

"Boom!"

The next moment, Chu Feng hurled the Adamant Girdle, aiming directly at him.

This time, the Adamant Girdle was incredibly brilliant, not only as heavy as a mountain but also erupting with Solar Fire Essence.

At such close range, Han Wenze couldn't evade and was struck directly.

The sight was horrifying. His physical body first exploded, then was engulfed by the Solar Fire Essence. With a whoosh, it turned into a pile of ashes, utterly annihilated in both form and spirit.

This scene utterly terrified Huang Weiyue.

Chu Feng rushed over and brought his foot down, pinning her bleeding upper body beneath his foot.

"No!" she shrieked in terror.

However, it was too late. She was stomped into pieces, dying a violent death.

The next moment, Chu Feng swung his fist, his blood energy surging like a vast river and sea, enveloping the two remaining powerful individuals.

There was no suspense!

In a very short time, the middle-aged man with the scorpion tail was blasted apart, turning into a bloody mist.

"Don't kill me!" the other man cried out.

"Speak. You know what I want to ask," Chu Feng demanded.

A moment later, with a boom, he blasted the man with silver horns as well.

Chu Feng felt that he hadn't even exerted his full strength. After breaking eight shackles, dealing with multiple extraterrestrials who had broken nine shackles was effortless for him.

This was the manifestation of his evolutionary progress!

"I need to evolve further. There are sacred fruits at the old Qilin Nest. I'll make a thousand-mile dash now, kill my way there to gather the exotic fruits, undergo another transformation, and then head to Laoshan!"
