Protagonist:

Yu Zhangsheng

A sinister voice suddenly reverberated around Yu Zhangsheng; Yu Zhangsheng's steps paused slightly, he stood firm in the Void, coldly watching the three men who had formed a triangular formation, blocking off all his escape routes, his brows and eyes turning cold.

Chen Feng smiled faintly; this time he did not seem so anxious anymore, his finger flicked lightly, and he said in an unhurried manner: "Yu Zhangsheng, is it? You do know how to choose a place; the feng shui here is just right, perfect as your burial ground, truly suitable."

Yu Zhangsheng frowned, watching the three men vigilantly, his expression indifferent, and spoke in a cold voice: "Who are you, and why do you insist on ambushing and killing me?"

"I have no grievances or enmity with you, Sir; why must you deploy such a large force to deal with a mere brat like me?"

Hearing this, Yu Zhangsheng felt both confusion and speculation in his heart; this time, the enemy had even mobilized Sub-Talisman cultivators — that was to ensure absolute certainty — yet all this was just to kill a brat like himself who had not yet formed a Golden Core; wasn't that overestimating him a bit? Chen Feng, hearing this, smiled faintly, scrutinized Yu Zhangsheng carefully, nodded in deep approval, and said: "You are right on that point; for a mere brat, normally it would not be worth such a large force, but unfortunately, someone wants you dead — if you don't die, it will affect the grand plan that follows, so we can only wrong a little cultivator like you."

"The Yang Family? Or the Spirit Dragon Sect?"

Yu Zhangsheng let out a light breath; hearing this, he frowned and suddenly said.

Yu Zhangsheng knew clearly in his heart that since the other party were people of Qingzhou, and the Spirit Dragon Sect and the Yang Family had now rebelled against Wu Zhou, the only ones he had offended were those two families; thus, it was not hard to guess the connection.

Chen Feng was slightly surprised, let out a snort of laughter, and his expression suddenly turned cold.

"Some things, a dead man does not need to know so clearly."

In fact, Yu Zhangsheng's guess was correct; the Yang Family, as one of the conditions for rebelling against Wu Zhou and allying with Qingzhou, was to thoroughly kill Yu Zhangsheng, and it was precisely for this reason that this ambush specifically targeting Yu Zhangsheng had come about.

However, Chen Feng naturally could not be bothered to explain these things to Yu Zhangsheng; at this moment, one saw Chen Feng take a light step forward, and Cheng Tao and Wu Huan likewise cooperated by taking a step forward; instantly, strands of incomparably scarlet blood-colored silk threads spread out from beneath the three men's feet, one by one.

One root after another, continuous and endless, layer upon layer; in just an instant they densely covered the entire Void, even distorting the light at the horizon, like roots of towering horror — tentacles — extending toward Yu Zhangsheng.

"Blood Hand!"

Chen Feng murmured softly; as the four words fell, the three men simultaneously exhaled a breath, and that breath suddenly turned into a howling Yin wind, descending upon the blood-colored silk threads; in an instant, the blood-colored silk threads seemed to come alive, becoming incomparably agile, intertwining and entangling with each other, condensing into a blood-colored giant hand that slammed down viciously toward Yu Zhangsheng.

"Divine Light, Shatter Body, Pierce Heaven Art!"

Yu Zhangsheng let out a low roar; his Qi and blood and magical power surged simultaneously, transforming into a violent golden light that covered his whole body, empowering his physique, as if he had donned a suit of golden-yellow armor.

His fist also radiated endless light; above the descending blood hand, a phantom of a blazing great sun emerged, smashing fiercely into the blood hand! "Bang!"

Layer upon layer of Qi waves spread out, continuous and unending; the blood hand twisted slightly, and the blood-colored silk threads composing it collapsed by three-tenths in an instant; after a slight pause, it once again descended toward Yu Zhangsheng with unstoppable momentum.

"Puchi..."

Yu Zhangsheng coughed once, his footsteps retreating three steps; after licking away the crimson at the corner of his mouth, he let out a long breath, raised his head to look at the giant blood hand, and with a frown, Chi Lian, Cai Xing, the Black Tortoise, and the Golden-Winged Great Eagle simultaneously appeared around him.

In an instant, the pressure of three Third-Rank Spirit Beasts and one Second-Rank Peak Spirit Beast covered the Void.

"Ang!"

Chi Lian roared, its huge mouth opening, a mouthful of dense evil fire condensing into a massive fireball that sprayed toward the blood hand; the violent high temperature caused even the surrounding space to erupt with rings of visible heat waves.

"You you!!"

Cai Xing's hooves lightly stepped in the Void; its pair of winding, coiling antlers suddenly emitted seven-colored light, transforming into specks of brilliance that scattered around; wherever the brilliance fell, a towering giant tree beyond description rose from the ground like a sword, stabbing fiercely at the blood hand falling from the heavens.

"Hong long long!"

The two collided; in an instant, the blood hand paused again; the blood hand, which already had only seven-tenths remaining, collapsed by half once more, turning into strands of blood-colored silk threads that dissipated.

And the remaining portion could no longer pose a threat to Yu Zhangsheng; as the flames covered it, Yu Zhangsheng threw out a punch, and finally the blood hand collapsed, strands of dense blood threads twisting, reflecting the astonished expressions of Chen Feng and the other two.

"Three Third-Rank Spirit Beasts; if we hadn't been fully prepared and taken you seriously enough, you might really have escaped."

Chen Feng suppressed the shock in his heart, looked at Yu Zhangsheng and the four spirit beasts eyeing them covetously around him, his brows and eyes gradually growing heavy, and spoke in a deep voice.

"However, a Golden Core Peak is ultimately a Golden Core Peak; if we let a brat like you who hasn't even stepped into Golden Core escape, then where would our face be?"

Chen Feng said coldly, exchanging a glance with Wu Huan and Cheng Tao, his hand seals constantly changing, and he exhaled lightly.

"Asura!"

In an instant, those endless blood threads blazed with light, emitting an eerie red glow, dripping like blood, and amidst the constant entanglement and intertwining, they slowly condensed into a blurry human figure.

This figure was blood-red all over, its entire body woven from blood threads, constantly wriggling, appearing exceptionally eerie and demonic; its body was huge, its features blurred, merely a rough outline; what drew the eye were its two sides, where long, slender arms stretched out horizontally, twisting the Void as they wriggled.

The number was astonishing; at a glance, densely packed, there seemed to be dozens or hundreds — truly like a demon from the Underworld, a Thousand-Handed Asura, erupting with a terrifying aura.

"Hou hou hou!"

This Thousand-Handed Asura roared, its hundred-plus arms waving continuously, covering all directions, swarming toward Yu Zhangsheng.

Weng weng weng...

The Void trembled; this roar actually carried a soul attack, detonating first in Yu Zhangsheng's Sea of Consciousness. Fortunately, Yu Zhangsheng's soul was powerful, and he did not suffer too much damage.

Thus, he merely watched the Thousand-Handed Asura with cold eyes, swallowed the pill he had been holding in the corner of his mouth; the surging medicinal power replenished his magical power, and a sky-reaching great wave suddenly rose behind him, surging toward the Thousand-Handed Asura.

"Boundless Sea, Wu Ya!"

The Black Tortoise trembled lightly; wave after wave of sea waves exploded, unleashing infinite power, covering the Thousand-Handed Asura, submerging its twisting tentacles one by one within, the momentum vast and majestic.

"Hong long long!"

One surging sea wave after another exploded; the huge body of the Thousand-Handed Asura rose and fell within this Boundless Sea; every time a tentacle struck down, it triggered the Void to tremble and great waves to surge.

The rumbling sound resounded continuously.

There is no doubt that the Black Tortoise, as Yu Zhangsheng's currently strongest spirit beast, even if not a Complete Body, possesses astonishing combat power.

Even Yu Zhangsheng has confidence that relying on the Black Tortoise alone, even a Golden Core Late Stage cultivator would not be without the power to fight back.

But the enemies he faces are not one, but three; and two are Golden Core Peak, one is Golden Core Late-Stage Peak; under their combined attack, the power they erupt with far surpasses ordinary Golden Core cultivators.

Therefore, even the Black Tortoise, under a full-power eruption, at this moment still fell to the disadvantage. Seeing this, Yu Zhangsheng gritted his teeth, glanced at the four spirit beasts around him, no longer caring about the magical power crazily sweeping the emptiness, let out a low roar, and in an instant four massive pillars of light erupted from the four spirit beasts respectively.

"Spirit Beast Four Extremes Array!"

Wind, Fire, Wood, Water! The Four Extremes elements suddenly erupted from the four spirit beasts, joining forces, their power greatly increasing.

"Five Elements Beast Law, Fire, Water, Wood!"

Yu Zhangsheng let out a low call, once again swallowing a replenishing Pill, three streaks of flowing light fell from his fingers, pointing at the Xuan Turtle, Chi Lian Purgatory Dragon, and Cai Xing Deer.

Under the augmentation of the Five Elements Beast Law, the already impressive Spirit Beasts received augmentation once more, the might they erupted with made Chen Feng unable to help but take a few extra glances.

"Wind Rolls Residual Thunder!"

The Golden-Winged Great Eagle fiercely flapped its massive wings, whipping up a gale that carried the power of wind and thunder; the storm crackled with electric arcs and flickering purple light as it charged toward the Thousand-Hand Asura with unstoppable momentum to kill. Although the Golden-Winged Great Eagle had not yet advanced to the Third Rank, augmented by the Spirit Beast Four Extremes Array and the Five Elements Beast Law, the might it erupted with already possessed the awe of a Third Rank Beast Master, lacking not the slightest bit.

The storm rampaged, electric arcs flickered, the great waves had just receded, the Thousand-Hand Asura's massive body erupted with Blood Red Light, its whole body's arms surrounded by electric arcs, constantly jumping, a numbing sensation transmitted.

"Sha Fire Purgatory!"

The Chi Lian Purgatory Dragon roared, almost simultaneously attacking with the Golden-Winged Great Eagle, soaring flames erupted, surging out, burning along the Thousand-Hand Asura's body all the way, unceasing, difficult to extinguish.

"Tree Sea Forest Stern!"

The Cai Xing Deer stepped lightly, still the same technique, trees and vines one by one, crawling with flames, bound the Thousand-Hand Asura's arms one by one, and moreover a strange flower suddenly bloomed at the treetops.

"Flowers Bloom Strange, Illusory Realm Boundless!"

Wave after wave of wondrous fluctuations rippled out, the expressions of the three people controlling the Thousand-Hand Asura showed a momentary stagnation, although it vanished in an instant, it still allowed the few Spirit Beasts' attacks to thoroughly land on the Thousand-Hand Asura.

Boom—! The Thousand-Hand Asura roared, Sha Fire burning, Tree Sea binding, storm becoming thunder, all exploded upon its body, in that instant, the blood threads composing its body collapsed by half.

"Underestimated you!"

Chen Feng's face slightly sank, coldly looking at Yu Zhangsheng, not the slightest panic.

"Power not bad, but the gap in Realm, is not so easily ground down, give me another period of growth time, I fear I truly wouldn't be your opponent, but now, you're still too green!"

Chen Feng said lowly, looking up at Yu Zhangsheng, killing intent in his eyes erupted resoundingly, finger drew a slash, drop by drop fresh blood surged into the Thousand-Hand Asura.

"Roar!"

Blood condensed into threads, the Thousand-Hand Asura's shattered body, in merely a moment was completely replenished and woven anew, hundred arms waving, bringing circles of afterimages, a strange laughter suddenly reverberated, even more terrifying Qi erupted from its body, disturbing the Four Directions Void.

The three Chen Feng people's complexions instantly turned pale, faces bloodless, panting lowly, bodies staggering, obviously this move was also an overdraft for them.

But despite this, the killing intent in the three's eyes was even more fierce, once again toward the Thousand-Hand Asura exhaled a breath, transforming into Yin Wind roaring.

"Quick battle quick decision, this child, cannot let him return alive!"

"This kind of heaven's pride. If cannot be used by my Qingzhou, left in Wu Zhou, let run loose, will only be endless future trouble."

At this moment, what the three Chen Feng people thought in their hearts was exactly this, the feeling Yu Zhangsheng gave them, was already completely different, attacking was a killing move, purpose was to thoroughly exterminate Yu Zhangsheng, to cut off future troubles.

"Asura Spits Blood, Ten Thousand Lives Wither!"

The Thousand-Hand Asura's body trembled, under the three Chen Feng people's reckless overdraft, obviously even more terrifying, arm after arm severed, raising streaks of blood-colored sword light, dense and numerous, involving the entire Void, thunderously falling upon Yu Zhangsheng.

"Red Hell Shadow Dragon Kill!"

"Water Country Numberless Tribulation!"

The Chi Lian Purgatory Dragon roared, and the Xuan Yin Phantom Turtle let out a low roar, blocking the path ahead and erupting with fierce attacks; regrettably, at this moment the Thousand-Hand Asura's might bore even a trace of Purple Mansion authority. In a single exchange, the Chi Lian Purgatory Dragon wailed miserably, its body sent flying backward; the Xuan Turtle fared no better, as white marks emerged one after another across its shell.

"Pfft……"

Yu Zhangsheng's body sank, hair numb, life and death crisis sensation rose up, but he fiercely looked up at the Tian Qiong, eyes revealing a crazed color.

"Heavenly Tribulation, rise!"

Yu Zhangsheng roared, hair disheveled, his whole body's Qi suddenly soared, within his Sea of Qi dantian, the Golden Core Embryo crazily operated, the remaining one Tian Sha Golden Lotus refined Pill, was swallowed by Yu Zhangsheng in one gulp.

Crackle crackle……

As if some shackle was broken, Yu Zhangsheng's body shook, finger pointed upward, fiercely slashed, the next moment, a world-shocking thunderbolt, suddenly fell from the sky, rushing toward Yu Zhangsheng while simultaneously sweeping up everyone, including Chen Feng.

This thunder was not formed by a Spell Technique; it carried the purest Heaven and Earth authority, permeated with the Power of Destruction, extremely tyrannical, bearing the intent to annihilate everything as it thunderously crashed down upon the mortal world.

Boom!

Heavenly thunder rolled, merely one strike, Yu Zhangsheng's body trembled, whole body charred black, a mouthful of fresh blood suddenly spat out.

But even more miserable than him, was the Thousand-Hand Asura, the Thousand-Hand Asura's location, happened to block above Yu Zhangsheng, this bolt of thunder, most of its power was absorbed by it.

"Ah ah ah……!!"

Streaks of miserable screams echoed, merely in an instant, this Thousand-Hand Asura's body exploded by half, the backlash on the three Chen Feng people, was Seven Orifices Bleeding, Qi vacuous.

But this wasn't over, one thunder fell, merely an instant, another bolt of thunder fell, and this bolt of thunder's power, far surpassed the previous one, Void birthed thunder, electric arcs flickering.

Yu Zhangsheng's eyes were blood-red; his figure flickered, and under the Shadow Flash, he tightly embraced the Thousand-Hand Asura. The next moment, drawn by the pull, heavenly thunder gathered and crashed down.

Boom!

This time, the Thousand-Hand Asura's body thoroughly shattered, and Yu Zhangsheng similarly not well, complexion even more pale, but even worse off than him, were the three Chen Feng people. (Chapter End)
