Chapter 15: Demonic Energy Surges to the Sky
The scene fell into a deathly silence in an instant!
"This... how is this possible?"
Liu Hanyan's face was filled with disbelief!
Lin Tiancheng, who was at the ninth level of the True Spirit Stage, had been killed by Chu Feng so effortlessly!
How could she believe this?
Liu Qing, seeing the situation, was immediately overcome with terror. He had already sensed that Chu Feng was terrifyingly powerful before and had not wanted to come back.
However, since Liu Hanyan insisted on returning, he had no choice but to steel himself and follow along.
He never expected things to truly develop in the direction he had feared — even Lin Tiancheng was no match for Chu Feng!
"Good!"
Chu Tianyue felt a wave of relief wash over him when he saw Chu Feng kill Lin Tiancheng!
Killing Lin Tiancheng would invite retaliation from Lingxiao Pavilion, but it had bought them enough time to arrange for the Chu Clan's elite disciples to escape!
"Chu Feng, you're dead!"
"How dare you kill an Inner Sect Elder of our Lingxiao Pavilion — even if you flee to the ends of the earth, our Lingxiao Pavilion will hunt you down and kill you!"
Liu Qing was just about to quietly slip away with Liu Hanyan, but Liu Hanyan recklessly opened her mouth to threaten Chu Feng.
Chu Feng heard her words and cast a cold glance at Liu Hanyan, then his figure suddenly vanished!
In an instant, Chu Feng appeared right in front of Liu Hanyan!
"Great Annihilation Fist!"
Chu Feng showed no mercy whatsoever, driving a Great Annihilation Fist directly into Liu Hanyan's chest!
Liu Hanyan was sent flying like a cannonball, hurtling more than ten meters away!
"Aah!"
Liu Hanyan let out a miserable cry as she crashed heavily to the ground, her face filled with an expression of utter disbelief!
In the past, she and Chu Feng had met a few times, and Chu Feng had always doted on her, yielding to her in everything.
She never imagined that this time Chu Feng would show not the slightest bit of mercy and strike at her with killing intent!
This left Liu Hanyan's heart filled with disbelief and indignation!
"You... actually... kill..."
Liu Hanyan spat out a mouthful of blood, speaking in broken fragments — before she could finish, she breathed her last!
"Hanyan!"
Liu Qing rushed over and gathered Liu Hanyan's corpse in his arms, crying out in grief!
"Young Master Chu, Hanyan was just a little willful — how could you kill her?" Liu Qing said mournfully.
"Willful? Ha!" Chu Feng let out a soft, cold laugh!
Liu Hanyan had gone beyond willfulness — she had brought death upon herself!
Liu Qing slowly rose, cradling Liu Hanyan's corpse, and prepared to leave.
But in an instant, Chu Feng teleported behind him and drove a Great Annihilation Fist squarely into his back.
Liu Qing was sent flying, and Liu Hanyan's corpse slipped from his grasp, tumbling far away!
"You... are ruthless!"
Liu Qing never expected that Chu Feng would come for him as well, and his face was instantly filled with disbelief!
Chu Feng walked slowly toward Liu Qing and crushed his skull with a single stomp!
Once someone was an enemy, Chu Feng would never show mercy!
By killing Liu Qing, today's events could remain undiscovered for a while longer.
This would buy a little more time for the Chu Clan members to flee and hide, and a little more time for Chu Feng to grow stronger!
"Clan Master, clean up this place and arrange for the Chu Clan members to leave and lie low for a while!"
Chu Feng had no fear of Lingxiao Pavilion's pursuit, but he was temporarily unable to protect so many members of the Chu Clan, so he could only have them go into hiding for the time being.
Once he had grown strong enough to deal with Lingxiao Pavilion, he would bring the Chu Clan members back.
"Understood!"
Without Chu Feng even saying so, Chu Tianyue would have immediately arranged for the Chu Clan members to leave.
With that said, Chu Tianyue led Chu Wenshan and the others away at a brisk pace to make the departure arrangements.
"Still too weak!"
Chu Feng sighed inwardly!
He, the great Demon Sovereign, was actually being threatened by a petty little Lingxiao Pavilion in this lower realm — how utterly humiliating!
Given how weak he currently was, he should have endured today's events.
But his nature from his previous life was such that he could never tolerate anyone humiliating him!
Those who humiliated him had to die!
A short while later, Chu Feng was about to return to his small courtyard to enter seclusion and cultivate!
Suddenly, a surge of black energy shot up from the distant sky, piercing straight toward the heavens!
"Demonic energy?"
Chu Feng spotted the black energy in the distant sky and his body jolted violently!
With such intense demonic energy, something must have happened over there!
Chu Feng immediately sprinted in the direction of the demonic energy!
However, just as Chu Feng dashed out of Qingfeng Town, the demonic energy in the distant sky slowly dissipated!
"How did it disappear?"
Chu Feng was briefly taken aback, but he continued sprinting in the direction where the demonic energy had appeared.
Two hours later!
Chu Feng arrived at the Dusk Forest, dozens of kilometers from Qingfeng Town!
The Dusk Forest occupied low-lying terrain and was perpetually shrouded in darkness!
The forest was home to many low-level demonic beasts, making it an ideal training ground for low-ranked cultivators.
Chu Feng stood outside the Dusk Forest, his expression grave!
At this moment, the entire Dusk Forest was enveloped in a faint layer of demonic energy.
This demonic energy was unlike ordinary demonic energy — Chu Feng was extremely familiar with this particular kind.
In his previous life, Chu Feng had guarded the Black Abyss, holding back the invasion of the Heavenly Demon Race.
The Black Abyss connected to the Heavenly Demon Domain where the Heavenly Demon Race resided!
The demonic energy now permeating the Dusk Forest closely resembled the demonic energy from the Heavenly Demon Domain, only far more diluted.
But Chu Feng could say with certainty that the demonic energy in the Dusk Forest was connected to the Heavenly Demon Domain.
"Aah! Run! There's a terrifying demonic beast in the forest!"
Suddenly, several people came fleeing in panic out of the Dusk Forest!
Among them, a white-robed young man appeared to be injured — the moment he emerged from the forest, he collapsed to the ground.
"Fifth Brother, what's wrong?"
A pretty young woman nearby saw this and immediately rushed over anxiously to help the white-robed young man up.
"Shui'er, run quickly — don't worry about me!" The white-robed young man turned to look behind him and urgently urged the young woman to flee.
"No! If we die, we die together!" The pretty young woman seemed to have feelings for the white-robed young man and refused to leave him behind.
Roar!
Suddenly, a ferocious-looking green tiger slowly emerged from the Dusk Forest!
The green tiger was shaped much like an ordinary tiger, but its body radiated a faint demonic energy that gave off an utterly terrifying aura!
"Shui'er, it's coming — run now!" The white-robed young man spotted the green tiger and used every last ounce of his strength to push the young woman away.
But the young woman immediately ran back to the white-robed young man's side, as if determined to die alongside him.
"Shui'er, you're too foolish!" the white-robed young man lamented.
"Fifth Brother, if I can die by your side, I have no regrets!" The pretty young woman held the white-robed young man tightly.
By now, the other people who had fled from the forest had already escaped at full speed, leaving only the white-robed young man and the pretty young woman.
Chu Feng watched the green tiger, his face expressionless!
The green tiger was originally a jade-green demonic tiger at the Spirit Entry Stage, but after being corrupted by demonic energy, its cultivation had risen to the second level of the True Spirit Stage!
The white-robed young man, the young woman, and the others who had just fled were all only at the Spirit Entry Stage — they were no match for the green tiger whatsoever, and upon seeing it, they could only flee in panic.
"Young man over there, please run — we'll hold this demonic tiger off for you!"
At this point, the pretty young woman noticed Chu Feng standing nearby and quickly called out for him to leave.
She had already resolved to die alongside the white-robed young man; if she could hold the green tiger back for Chu Feng, it would at least be one last good deed.
"No need," Chu Feng replied calmly.
With that, Chu Feng slowly walked toward the green tiger.
Roar!
The green tiger saw that Chu Feng was walking toward it without any fear of death and immediately let out a furious roar, charging straight at Chu Feng.
Chu Feng shifted his footsteps lightly, dodging the green tiger's attack, then drove a fierce punch squarely into its head!
