Chapter 627: 打错美女

In the East Sea, the sun was just beginning to rise. The red orb of the sun leaped from the horizon, quickly bursting forth with endless golden radiance. This light bathed the entire ocean, making it appear more brilliant and sacred.

A green bamboo boat sliced through the shimmering waves, soaring high into the sky, and sped towards the land.

However, it was invisible to the eye.

This was an ancient Dharma boat, once used by powerful ancient beings for travel, having traversed the boundless sea of stars in antiquity. Now, it was in Chu Feng's possession, a spoils of war he had seized from Yu Chi Kong, and indeed, the greatest treasure he had gained from that battle.

In fact, Chu Feng himself had also incurred significant losses. While not gravely wounded, he had lost dozens of sets of saintly armors and other items in that conflict, simply due to the vast disparity in power levels.

After some experimentation, Chu Feng gradually understood the emerald bamboo boat, and a look of delight spread across his face. This was truly a rare treasure.

Now, traveling through the void, he encountered many evolutionaries along the way, both native and from beyond Earth. However, they all overlooked him, as the Dharma boat could conceal itself in the void. By channeling his mental energy, Chu Feng made a special symbol on the treasure boat glow. It then began to perform spatial leaps, abruptly vanishing from its current position and reappearing thousands of miles away. During this process, the verdant bamboo boat emitted a light, forming a luminous barrier that enveloped Chu Feng, shielding him from disintegration during the spatial leap.

“What a treasure! Truly an essential item for travel and everyday life!” Chu Feng exclaimed in delight, his praise sincere. “If used in conjunction with the Samsara Blade, he could strike and then instantly escape thousands of miles away. Who could possibly stop him then?!”

Chu Feng experimented repeatedly, injecting energy into the runes on the green bamboo boat. He found that varying the strength of his mental power allowed him to control the distance of the spatial leap, which was directly proportional to the energy consumed. He also realized that if he became powerful enough, he could use this bamboo boat to traverse the universe, and even tear open super wormholes with ease! However, with his current strength, he estimated a single jump would cover a maximum of tens of thousands of miles.

After calibrating his position, Chu Feng estimated his distance from Mount Zhongnan. He and the bamboo boat then vanished from their location, and with a whoosh, reappeared in Shaanxi province after another leap. He had come here to settle an old score with someone. Because he was not yet fully proficient, there was still some margin of error. Although he ended up near Mount Zhongnan, he was still more than a hundred miles off. For Chu Feng, this was already a pleasant surprise, and he felt quite pleased with the result!

From now on, with a mere thought, he could teleport, rapidly moving from one part of the Earth to another. When the world first underwent its transformation, he had encountered flying saucers, and once even dreamed of using them to conquer the entire East in just an hour. Now, it seemed this wish could not only be realized, but the time required would also be drastically reduced. However, in the end, he wasn't relying on 'black tech' like flying saucers, but rather on a green bamboo boat with fresh leaves, a remarkably primitive ancient handcrafted artifact. He was momentarily speechless. This was a stark contrast between two entirely different systems of civilization!

This time, he hadn't brought the Underworld Cat with him. Instead, he had suppressed it at Mount Immortality, intending to use the restrictions there to subdue the feline demon and turn it into a powerful enforcer for Yellow Ox, Big Black, and the others. He had come alone this time, to settle scores with Myriad Sword Saint, the Underworld Cat's sworn brother. He had missed him last time, and wasn't sure if he would find his target this time.

Chu Feng piloted the green bamboo boat, slowing its pace, and gently floated into the ancestral Taoist ground—Mount Zhongnan. The atmosphere here was extraordinary, with clouds and mists swirling, presenting a scene of otherworldly beauty. The energy qi was incredibly rich, and on some peaks, radiant clouds glowed, crystal clear and translucent, looking at a glance like divine land. Mount Zhongnan, a section of the Qinling Mountains in Shaanxi province, was lush and green year-round, with treacherous terrain and winding, rugged paths. Along the way, small streams gurgled, waterfalls cascaded and misted, and vibrant immortal mists shimmered. This was one of Earth's most significant sacred mountains, renowned as the foremost blessed land under heaven.

Chu Feng arrived, passing through pine-filled forests where the wind rustled, and then through areas dense with streams. He observed several unusual beings, such as salamander demons that had evolved, appearing in large groups. Soon after, Chu Feng smiled. In this area, he spotted a particularly powerful evolved being, which turned out to be a national treasure—a panda. The creature was incredibly lazy, lying fast asleep in a bamboo grove, a wine jar placed beside it, looking utterly content. Ordinarily, Chu Feng would have definitely gone to observe this national treasure more closely. It was rare to encounter such a particularly powerful one, which he felt was no weaker than the Mastiff King among the great demons of Kunlun. But now he had no time to spare. He was still planning to go to Kunlun; his detour here was merely to settle a score along the way.

“Hmm, he’s back?!” Chu Feng’s eyes narrowed. Near Mount Zhongnan’s main peak, he sensed several extremely powerful auras, with two standing out particularly. On the main peak, clouds steamed and radiated, golden mists surged, and faint sounds of wind and thunder mingled with chanting scriptures. However, no one could ascend there yet, as the seal on the peak had not been fully broken.

However, on a mountain adjacent to the main peak, the energy was incredibly rich, with swirling mists, already like a fairyland. There were several impressive individuals there. In particular, two figures, one tall and one short, were clad in cloaks. Even when Chu Feng let a hint of golden light flash in his eyes, he couldn't see through their disguises. “How peculiar!” Chu Feng thought, surprised. While he hadn't fully unleashed his Fiery Golden Eyes, the fact that their cloaks could block even a sliver of golden light from his vision meant they were certainly no ordinary items. At such close range, he couldn't fully activate his Fiery Golden Eyes, fearing those individuals would detect him.

Even though the tall cloaked figure was reclusive, Chu Feng still sensed immense power within them. Furthermore, beside the shorter cloaked figure was an elder, whose strength was also exceptional, and Chu Feng vaguely perceived him to be a master beyond the Contemplation realm! Chu Feng felt a chill. Earth had become more dangerous now; evolutionaries beyond the Contemplation realm were no longer just a handful, but were quite numerous. He surveyed the mountains, sighing inwardly. During the time he had been absent, Earth's transformations had progressed by leaps and bounds. No wonder the extraterrestrial visitors were increasingly powerful. He observed that several individuals moved freely and casually in and out of the Taoist temple, as if it were their own home, before sitting down to meditate and rest.

“Even if they aren’t Myriad Sword Saint, they must know him, or perhaps they’re in a cooperative relationship? They certainly seem very familiar with this place.” Chu Feng speculated, simultaneously feeling a surge of desire. He gazed at Mount Zhongnan's main peak, where golden mists layered endlessly, and chanting scriptures continually echoed. It was clear at a glance that good things lay within. If it were truly unsealed, he wouldn't be able to resist charging in! The foremost blessed land under heaven surely contained divine medicines, and the most renowned ancient breathing techniques and miraculous arts were undoubtedly all on the main peak.

Then, Chu Feng couldn't resist making his move. Piloting the bamboo boat, he stealthily approached, holding the Vajra Restraint in one hand, and an extra-large golden lightning hammer in the other! His primary targets were the elder who surpassed the Contemplation realm and the tall cloaked figure. However, the elder suddenly departed, as if he had urgent business, hastily leaving the mountain. Chu Feng smiled. This was even better; with only one main target left, things would be much more secure. He unleashed a domain, intending to trap and kill the tall cloaked figure.

In fact, this person’s reaction was exceptionally sharp; sensing danger, they dodged in advance. However, Chu Feng had been observing for a long time. He had noticed the person was left-handed and deduced their usual habits, anticipating their direction of evasion. In an instant, the Vajra Restraint flew forth. Chu Feng carefully controlled its force, causing it to explode with boundless light and terrifying energy, and it slammed towards the tall cloaked figure. At such close range, a mere lunge would have allowed them to touch, so it was naturally hard to miss.

However, this individual’s movement technique was incredibly elusive, like an illusionary flower in the void. At the critical moment, they shifted their body sideways, managing to evade the attack. It was truly remarkable. Chu Feng was inwardly startled; this technique far surpassed what ordinary powerful evolutionaries could achieve. Such divine perception astonished even him, considering he had been hidden in the void, striking suddenly, with intention against no intention.

The cloaked figure didn't even see what weapon had attacked them. They then spun like a top, attempting to whirl away with incredible agility, and escape from this swirling vortex. Chu Feng’s palm glowed as he swung the golden lightning hammer, smashing it down directly, sealing all possible escape routes. In an instant, Chu Feng pushed his cultivation to its absolute peak, giving his utmost. If a sneak attack couldn't bring down a single person, that would be utterly shameful for him, considering he had recently defeated Yu Chi Kong.

However, this person’s movements were incredibly ethereal, like an exiled immortal reincarnated, light and unburdened by worldly dust, resembling a dancing fairy. They brushed past the golden great hammer, evading it, and were about to escape this terrifying vortex of energy. Uncanny! Chu Feng was astonished; even he was awestruck. Such a reaction, such innate divine perception, was no weaker than his own. The person's immediate and perfectly timed response was truly remarkable.

However, the golden great hammer in Chu Feng’s hand was now infused with thunder, exploding with bolts of lightning. The cloaked figure could not evade this, no matter what.

Crack!

The electric bolt struck their body, instantly causing them to stiffen slightly. Then, without hesitation, Chu Feng swung the golden great hammer, and with a resounding thud, it struck their head. This was, quite literally, a five-thunder bombardment. Five-colored lightning burst forth, causing the person’s body to sway, and surges of energy light to ripple around their head.

This individual was wearing an unimaginable secret treasure; at the very least, their cloak was extraordinary, capable of blocking most of the lightning’s corrosive effects. However, they were ultimately affected, their body trembling violently and stiffening further.

Thud, thud, thud!

Without a word, Chu Feng struck their head three more times. As it was an attack from behind, all three blows landed on the back of their head. At this moment, the cloak finally shattered, revealing a head of bright, shimmering silver hair. Chu Feng was astonished to realize this was actually a woman. Earlier, she had been completely enveloped by the cloak!

However, since he had already initiated the attack, he couldn't stop now. He struck the back of her head once more. Among her waterfall-like silver, glowing hair were extraordinarily dazzling ornaments, which burst forth with runes to help block the attack. But Chu Feng’s strength was simply too immense. With eight consecutive hammers, he finally shattered the runes, causing her body to sway violently, until she rolled her eyes back and fell unconscious. Throughout this process, Chu Feng never saw her true face from the front.

All of this happened too quickly, completed in a flash. A normal person wouldn't even have finished speaking a sentence before this surprise attack was over.

Nearby, the short cloaked figure shrieked, their voice childish. It turned out to be a little loli. She tried to escape, turning her head to try and remember Chu Feng’s appearance. However, she saw a person wearing a bronze mask suddenly emerge from the void, carrying the golden great hammer. He pursued her, and with a single hammer blow, knocked her unconscious. Dealing with this little loli was much easier.

Then, Chu Feng was slightly dumbfounded. He found the little loli somewhat familiar. Her silver hair was crystalline, emitting a soft glow. Her small face was exquisitely beautiful, her large eyes closed, and her long eyelashes trembled, as if she might wake at any moment. This little one was too beautiful, almost excessively so.

Chu Feng was initially suspicious, but then he suddenly realized, finally knowing who she was. Immediately, a headache pulsed in his temples. “Isn’t this the highly popular little loli from the Original Beast Platform? Her name was Ying Xiaoxiao, and she was from the Demi-immortal Race!” This race was one of the universe's most powerful, rumored to have consistently ranked among the top ten since ancient times! Her brother, Ying Wudi, possessed terrifying strength and was currently competing against Daoist, Buddhist, and Primordial Magnetic Saint Physiques, among others. Her sister was famed as the third most beautiful woman under the starry sky, her reputation unparalleled.

“I hit the wrong person. This isn’t Myriad Sword Saint. But why are they so familiar with this place? Treating it like their own home… isn’t this Myriad Sword Saint’s territory?”

Chu Feng looked at the silver-haired little loli, then at the tall silver-haired woman he had knocked unconscious first. He still hadn't seen her face. He hesitated for a moment. This was clearly a mistake; he had hit the wrong people. With the little loli's identity confirmed, he could probably guess the identity of the silver-haired woman on the ground without much thought.

Chu Feng was speechless, gasping in astonishment. Had he just knocked out the third most beautiful woman under the starry sky?!

Then, he looked down again and again. The back of the silver-haired beauty’s head had swollen into a large, exaggerated lump, resembling a steamed bun, and… it was bleeding. This made him feel very guilty. He had, for no good reason, badly injured a princess of the Demi-immortal Race. He glanced at the extra-large golden great hammer in his hand. He had swung it with full force just moments ago, landing more than a dozen blows in total.

“Well, they’ve been hit, and they’re unconscious. Since I’ve already done it, why not… just loot them clean while I’m at it!” Chu Feng mumbled to himself, feeling guilty but deciding to just go all the way with his bad deed.
