Chapter 422: Overlooking

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The shadows on the wall trembled slightly, and there was a faint roar in Chen Fei’s ears.

Chen Fei glanced at the door, where the moonlight was bright, and he could still see the attendants of the clinic running around in the distance.

Retracting his gaze, Chen Fei slowly walked up to the wall, drew his firewood knife, and then inserted his hands directly into the gap left by the knife.

“Chen Fei… Chen Fei… Have you seen my head? Where did my head go?”

Qi Chun’s voice suddenly sounded behind Chen Fei, and a chilling breath brushed against him, as if Qi Chun had already pressed himself against Chen Fei’s back.

“It’s on the ground, look for it yourself!”

Ignoring the Evil on his back, Chen Fei spoke as if he were talking to an ordinary person.

“But I can’t see it. You chopped me, can you help me find it, hehe…”

Qi Chun’s voice began to grow sinister, as if it were coming from the depths of the underworld.

“Get lost!”

A roar erupted from Chen Fei’s mouth, and a powerful force emanated from him, making Qi Chun’s voice disappear instantly.

Chen Fei looked at the wall in front of him, and it seemed as if the sound of dragons and elephants clashing resounded within his body. His arms began to exert force, and the wall started to tear open a gap.

What should have been ordinary soil and bricks, at this moment, seemed to possess a vitality, desperately resisting Chen Fei’s strength, not allowing him to tear it apart.

“Open!”

With a slight sinking of his body, Chen Fei let out a low shout, and a tremendous force burst from his arms. In an instant, the entire wall was forcibly torn open by Chen Fei, creating a huge gap.

Behind the gap, a black mist surged, chilling and eerie. Just one glance at it instinctively made people want to avoid it, not even wanting to make prolonged eye contact with it.

However, Chen Fei had no hesitation. He stepped forward with his right foot, entering the black mist.

“Third brother!”

A voice filled with pain echoed, and Ling Hanjun looked incredulously at the figure lying on the ground, covered in blood.

Chen Fei opened his eyes and glanced around. This time, he had returned to Pingyin County.

Chen Fei looked at Jian Liang on the ground and Ling Hanjun not far away. They were all familiar faces. They had been some of Chen Fei’s few enemies back in Pingyin County.

In reality, Jian Liang’s remains were nowhere to be found, and as for Ling Hanjun, although he had managed to avoid the Evil in Pingyin County, he ultimately perished in a cave.

“I’ll kill you!”

Ling Hanjun went berserk, wielding a large knife and charging at Chen Fei. Several other bandits also rushed towards Chen Fei, ready to support Ling Hanjun.

“Smack!”

Watching Ling Hanjun charging at him, Chen Fei slapped him to the ground. The other bandits froze in their tracks, not knowing whether to advance or retreat.

Chen Fei didn’t bother with these bandits. He moved quickly, standing on the roof of a building, overlooking the entire Pingyin County.

From the ruined temple to here, Chen Fei had roughly figured out the nature of this bizarre attack.

If Chen Fei’s current cultivation wasn’t at the advanced stage of the Aperture Tempering realm, and if his mental state wasn’t protected by various techniques, then from the moment he was dragged into the ruined temple, his mind would have likely been ensnared.

If his mind had truly been ensnared, Chen Fei guessed he might have felt like he was the same novice warrior who had just entered the Skin Tempering realm all those years ago.

Ah, the Skin Tempering realm, where one can be manipulated at will, yet remains unaware, leading to an inescapable situation. It’s like getting gradually submerged in a swamp, suffocating to death in the end.

Most practitioners in the Aperture Tempering realm would likely meet this fate when faced with the Evil of Pingyin County.

However, ever since Chen Fei was pulled into the ruined temple, his mental state had remained extremely clear. Therefore, both the ruined temple and the current scene posed no threat to him.

In fact, Chen Fei could easily leave this illusion and return to reality whenever he wanted. It’s much easier when you are aware that you’re dreaming and want to wake up, compared to those trapped in a nightmare.

But Chen Fei didn’t want to leave like this. This illusion was built on Evil, and part of that Evil’s origin must be here.

If Chen Fei was brought here, leaving like this would be giving this Evil an undeserved advantage. Chen Fei wanted to see if he could extract a portion of this Evil’s origin right here.

If he could find even a trace of the Evil’s origin, then in reality, his efforts to conquer the entire Pingyin County would undoubtedly become much easier.

“Whoosh…”

The night wind howled, and the once mildly cool summer breeze now carried a chill. In Pingyin County, people who were going about their business all stopped what they were doing, their gazes fixed on Chen Fei.

Chen Fei sensed the change in the atmosphere and couldn’t help but smile. It seemed that this Evil had finally realized that something was amiss.

“Splash!”

The roof tiles behind Chen Fei suddenly shattered, and several figures rushed up from below, wielding blades and slashing at Chen Fei from all directions. “Bang!”

Chen Fei casually waved his hand, and the figures shattered, rolling back and smashing through the buildings, disappearing from sight.

However, this was clearly just the beginning. Chen Fei could already hear the sound of approaching footsteps coming from all directions, converging towards him.

Here, the Evil was like a god of creation, dictating everything, and at this moment, Chen Fei was regarded as an enemy by everything within this illusion. They all rejected and loathed him, eager to kill him quickly..
