"Brat, don't be so cocky!" Chen Pu, the elder from Penglai shouted.
"Haha…" Zhu Chengkun laughed loudly as he transformed into a dark red bird. He stared fixedly at Chu Feng, shrouded in black mist and with flames flowing around him.
"You're cutting off your own path for survival," E'hai said with a cold voice, his long dense hair hanging behind him.
Chu Feng's words just now had targeted all of them. He had claimed that he would take all of them on by himself; this made all of them reveal cold smiles as if they were looking at a dead person.
In the distance, the sea was like a gigantic piece of sapphire. It was boundless, waveless, and tranquil.
Nearby, killing intent surged on this grassland in the middle of the bamboo grove. A bloody conflict was imminent.
Chu Feng stood there alone, facing off against many powerful carefree realm experts. He had put away his dark red spear and calmly drawn his bronze sword.
"Dao friend, you want to kill him? Be my guest!" Chen Pu spoke. He glanced at Zhu Chengkun who had revealed his true form and politely gave way.
Zhu Chengkun flapped his wings and said amidst surging flames, "I naturally won't let this rebel live long, but he's humiliated your Penglai quite badly. So, you should go first, just leave half of his body for me later on."
"Is this fine? Why not you go slash him first and let him understand his own abilities?" Chen Pu asked.
"No need, you first!" Zhu Chengkun replied.
The two were actually declining politely back and forth.
Chen Pu was sincere and only wanted to express his goodwill. Just as Chu Feng said, they were harsh toward their own people and considered themselves the orthodox lineage, but were soft against the outsiders and would stop at nothing to build a good relationship with them.
Zhu Chengsheng wanted to kill Chu Feng, but he didn't want to risk life and limb for it since he had suffered greatly just a while ago. He only wanted to occupy an advantageous position and attack at the critical moment.
Chu Feng's head was too valuable. Whoever could kill him would be able to exchange it for a saint's bronze badge.
The two were laughing together but with different intentions. They kept yielding to one another with great politeness and didn't put Chu Feng in their eyes at all.
Behind them, E'hai had chosen a good position and was waiting to attack and behead Chu Feng at the opportune moment. Although he was bossing and domineering, he wouldn't risk life and limb for this.
In the end, the people from Penglai made their move. The two elders, Chen Pu and Chen Feng, advanced together.
"You think you're so powerful? In fact, you're quite comical." Chen Pu glanced at Chu Feng and said indifferently, "You're feeling like a falcon about to soar into the sky, but in fact, you've just crawled out of a jar and into a well. Come, this old man will let you see clearly just how small your little jar is!"
This old fellow's mouth was quite vile. He taunted Chu Feng, comparing him to a toad in a jar.
Chu Feng became even calmer before the great battle. "Taking advantage of your age and thinking you're so great. When you see your own head fly out, you'll realize just how shameful your words just now are."
"Enough with the useless words. Seize him!" Chen Feng made his move and pounced forward like a bolt of lightning. He was a carefree realm entity and could easily kill Chu Feng if he could close in.
"Chi!"
"You still want to use domains? Too late!" At this time, Chen Pu also moved. He rushed into the area without any fear of being ambushed by domains.
"Chi!"
During this process, the two little flags they had planted in the ground cut through the grass and followed them into the domains like two earth dragons.
Within moments, the whole area calmed down as the domains lost the ability to trap them.
"Domain breaking flags!"
Saint Child Li Qing recognized the origin of these flags. Only domain experts could refine such items used specifically to break domains.
Normally, domain researchers wouldn't easily produce such items for other people because it was destructive and harmful to their own field.
"Heh, heh, little friend Chu Feng. Why are you running? Where's your confidence now?" Chen Pu giggled.
Chi!
The next moment, Chu Feng, who was running away, stopped. There was a dense array made of hundreds if not thousands of magnetic stones around him, intersecting to form a brilliant network of patterns.
This was something he had prepared meticulously. He wanted to lay down a suitable domain underground to trap and kill his opponents.
But now, he had no choice but to pull out part of it in advance. That was because he had never expected the two Penglai elders would possess domain breaking flags. These things were quite rare.
"Eh?!" Chen Feng was astonished and immediately halted his steps.
A palm-sized triangular flag was flashing with black light beneath his feet. The flag wasn't made of cloth, but instead a jet black material just like its flag pole. It was made of profound magnet.
This was an extremely rare type of material. Just a small piece could cause the magnetic fields in the ground to transform and interfere with various arrays and formations.
At this time, the domain breaking flag erupted with light and wanted to leave the ground. Its movements were no longer that smooth.
There was a limit to everything. When the domains were strong enough, the domain breaking flag would lose effect. Chu Feng had tossed out hundreds of magnetic stones from his spatial bottle in one go and laid down a domain. Naturally, the effects of the little flags were decreased.
Chen Pu and Chen Feng revealed astonished expressions but soon calmed down. They each instilled more energy into the little flags and caused them to flourish with blade radiance.
Following which, the two profound magnet flags began to move. Although not very fast, they were still able to assault the domain and head towards Chu Feng.
But they couldn't close in immediately because Chu Feng could evade.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Chen Pu took action. Beams of energy shot out from his fingers with the intention of bombarding the distant Chu Feng to death.
However, there were still runes around the area because the domains here hadn't been completely disabled. Thus, he couldn't do anything to Chu Feng for the moment.
Everyone outside was observing in detail. The native evolvers couldn't help but sigh at Chu Feng's domain attainments, but at the same time, they were also reverent of Penglai; they had actually broken through in such a manner.
Some people sighed. No wonder Penglai dared claim itself as the orthodox lineage. Not only were they powerful themselves, but they also possessed many secret treasures left behind since ancient times. They gave off a feeling of being unfathomable.
Chen Pu laughed indifferently, "Chu Feng, where will you run to now? This domain is just like a well, and we'll eventually catch you. But do you dare jump out? These outer-realm dao friends will immediately seize you."
People saw Chu Feng's range of activity was growing smaller. He was being closed in upon, and the two elders would block his path sooner or later. The situation appeared rather dangerous.
Outside the domain, Zhu Chengkun could no longer hold on. He saw Chu Feng being forced into a corner and felt the urge to rush in for the kill. That head was worth a saint bronze seal.
E'hai was also restless. The opportunity was right before their eyes.
"Dao friend, I'll help you!" Finally, Zhu Chengkun could no longer endure and immediately rushed in. The domain couldn't trap him due to the two domain breaking flags around and only served to reduce his speed.
E'hai licked his lips. His tongue was scarlet red, and his teeth were a cold snowy white. He also strode in to fight for Chu Feng's head.
In truth, there were over a dozen people behind them who had made an immediate move. They arrived beside the domain in the blink of an eye, their eyes burning with the intention to kill!
Li Qing wanted to stop them, but seeing Saintess Li Lin say nothing, he could only stay put and watch the developments quietly. After all, a single person couldn't change anything.
Chen Pu laughed loudly and said, "Since the two dao friends have come, then let us end this hunting game. A mere fake heaven's chosen doesn't amount to much. We shall kill him right away!"
At this point, he and Chen Feng each brought out a black triangular flag as large as a palm and made up of profound magnet. They made sizzling sounds as they planted themselves in the earth.
Within a split second, the entire domain calmed down. There were no more flickering domain runes after they were thoroughly suppressed!
These two old men actually had four domain breaking flags but had been leaving them as backup. They were toying with Chu Feng before and only revealed their trump card just now.
"So boring. We wanted to torture you slowly just like training a falcon. In the end, you only amount to much, so we have to take your life much faster." Chen Pu broke into laughter.
"Nothing but a frog in a jar. Did you really think you're a heaven's chosen? I can tell you with great certainty that such a title has nothing to do with you." Chen Feng taunted him thus.
But the two didn't approach and left the decapitating to the outer realm beings.
That was because there were too many people nearby eying Chu Feng with blazing eyes. And within the domain, there was Zhu Chengkun and E'hai who both wanted to exchange Chu Feng's head for the saint bronze seal.
Although Chen Feng and Chen Pu wanted it too, they retreated intelligently, not wanting to suffer a mob beating from the several dozen carefree realm experts here.
"Swoosh." Zhu Chengkun was the first to land. He had turned back into his human form—three meters tall, his head was full of red hair, and his eyes were shooting out vicious gleams.
"Native, you actually beat me up earlier on. Right now, I'll crush you in one hit. What do you think you are?!" He shouted loudly, surging with killing intent.
"Bang!"
E'hai arrived late but launched the first strike at the critical moment. He crossed palms with Zhu Chengkun and directly pushed him back several steps. The former also wanted Chu Feng's head and definitely wouldn't yield at the key moment.
"E'hai!" Zhu Chengkun's eyes were cold and eerie.
"Brother Zhu, I'm sorry. I also want the saint bronze seal. This head is mine!" E'hai laughed as he swung his left palm at Chu Feng. Cold light flickered as the hand transformed into a sharp claw, poised to reap lives.
At the same time, he laughed nastily and said to Chu Feng, "It's quite the profit to be able to exchange the head of a mere native like you for a saint bronze seal!"
"Boom!"
Zhu Chengkun reached out his right arm which transformed into a dark red Yin Sparrow Wing and obstructed the blow, preventing E'hai from killing Chu Feng first. The clash between the two erupted in a mass of energy light.
"He's mine. Only I can kill such a rebel!" Zhu Chengkun said coldly.
E'hai grinned, revealing his snowy why teeth and said, "No, let me do it. Brother Zhu is injured so you should recuperate well. I just love tormenting such a native. Please allow me to fulfill my wishes."
He was warning Zhu Chengkun that the latter wasn't his match with his injury.
The two exchanged a brief move and would also reach out toward Chu Feng from time to time, hoping to snatch his head.
In their eyes, Chu Feng was already an object without any right to autonomy. Both of them wanted to seize his head and exchange it for fortunes.
The native evolvers of earth all felt gloomy after witnessing this scene.
Chu Feng was originally a top expert among the natives, but now he had no role to play and was being fought for by these two descenders. This was truly tragic.
Jiang Luoshen's beautiful countenance turned pale as she tightened her first and sighed for Chu Feng.
Even the corporate agents who were at odds with Chu Feng felt that sympathy for him because they could potentially be in the same situation.
The Young Xingyi Grandmaster Xu Qing, on the other hand, watched on without any expression.
Princess Lin revealed an astonished expression this time and frowned as she observed Chu Feng. She wouldn't make any premature speculations as she had on Mount Lu.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh…
At this moment, over a dozen experts who were watching from outside the domain rushed in. That was because they were certain that this domain had been frozen.
All of them were carefree realm evolvers and each and everyone one of them rushed forward with burning eyes. They were no longer apprehensive and wished to take Chu Feng's head.
That was because Zhu Chengkun and E'hai had already helped them scout the path ahead. The two were soon about to behead the prey and this proved that the area was safe.
Chu Feng had been forced into a corner. He was standing atop one of the Dragon Locking Pillars and watching expressionlessly as the two experts fought over him.
Only when the dozen-odd men rush in did he reveal a cruel expression. He stomped down violently, releasing the cry of a flood dragon and causing the earth the explode.
The Dragon Locking Pillars were mysterious objects. They originated from the Southern Sea and had already been refined within the Revered Eight Trigrams Furnace. Currently, two layers of its mystery had been uncovered after two upgrades!
Presently, he had only used the upgraded Ghostly Labyrinth from the first upgrade and hadn't yet used the second.
Now, with a loud boom, the place began to glow in every direction. The sound of a flood dragon was actually being transmitted vaguely as the ground immediately collapsed amidst an eruption of light.
Domains could be classified according to their strength. The current dragon locking pillars were surging with brilliance and moving under the ground. They directly flipped the earth and sky over in the blink of an eye—the four domain breaking flags on the ground were covered and cracks and soon broken.
Within moments, the entire area was covered in bloody light. Chu Feng hadn't the slightest hesitation. He held the bronze sword and slashed towards Zhu Chengkun, immediately hacking off one of his arms and sending it flying.
"Ah…" Zhu Chengkun screamed in misery. That was because he felt himself being dragged down in a mire and could hardly move. This was the first time the Dragon Locking Pillars had revealed its profundities.
Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!
The next moment Chu Feng waved his sword three times but Zhu Chengkun managed, with great difficulty, to block it with his arms and legs. This also meant that his limbs had all been cut off and had fallen to the ground.
Boom!
Chu Feng waved his left fist and smashed heavily onto his body, directly piercing through his abdomen amidst a splash of blood. At the same time, he cut off the struggling E'hai's tail with the bronze sword in his right hand.
Boom!
Thump, thump, thump!
After a number of fist strikes, Zhu Chengkun's screams grew weaker. He had been blasted apart by Chu Feng; his body had crumbled into several pieces and his head went rolling on the ground.
"You really think your skin is so thick that I can't beat you up? I just didn't want to go all out. I had to give Li Qing some face. But since you're the Nine Yin Sparrow's descendant and you also want to kill me, there's no need to leave you alive!"
Chu Feng had shattered Zhu Chengkun with just a few strikes of his fist, leaving only his head to struggle at death's door.
At the same time, Chu Feng's bronze sword didn't rest. He had already shaved off E'hai's limbs while speaking and caused the latter to howl wretchedly.
Bang!
Afterwards, he rushed forward and unleashed violent kicks with both legs, kicking that human-shaped alligator into pieces. Only a single head was left rolling on the ground, looking at him with a horrified expression.
The dozen-odd entities who had rushed into the domain all felt cold and chills ran over their body.
Nearby, Chen Pu and Chen Feng felt their scaps go numb.
Chen Feng had already brought out a certain item and was giving his all to activate it. The item erupted with black light which covered his entire body.
Chu Feng was astonished. He rushed forth, and with a wave of his hand, the earth rumbled as a Dragon Locking Pillar appeared. He hugged the pillar and smashed forward with all his might.
That was because he had already guessed what that item was. The Penglai elders were too vicious—they had indeed come prepared in order to annihilate him. If he couldn't stop them now, it would become very troublesome.
The Dragon Locking Pillar wasn't very thick and was extremely terrifying when used as a weapon. It smashed the black light until it flickered unstably and almost exploded.
With a bang, Chen Pu finally felt something was wrong and left the area of the black light. He immediately lost all color, and his mouth was trembling. "Little Friend Chu Feng, let's talk this over nicely."
Pfft!
Chu Feng swung out his sword and immediately decapitated the man before withdrawing with his head.
Chen Pu had lost his body, but his head was still moving and struggling. He let out a spiritual howl containing incomparable anger and enmity.
"Shut up!" Chu Feng gave the head a big slap while moving back, immediately shutting it up. Within the blink of an eye, he had collected three heads and turned everything around.
Everyone nearby was completely shaken.
As for Chen Pu, Zhu Chengkun, and E'hai, they were in great pain. They were struggling at death's door with only their heads left. This was truly falling to hell from heaven.
In truth, the others who had rushed into the domain were all feeling the same. All of them felt their hair stand on end!
