Chapter 634: Earth-Shattering

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Without the help of a Combined Aperture Tempering realm expert, no one dared to leave Wind Lake City, because that meant death, and even the cultivation of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm was ineffective.

In the entire Wind Lake City, there were only a few families who had a reputation in the past, and the Peng family was naturally among them because the old ancestor of the Peng family in the Combined Aperture Tempering realm was still alive.

With the heritage of the Peng family, they should have moved to other seas before the invasion of sea monsters in the Qinguang Sea Domain.

However, at that time, for some unknown reason, Peng Xuming did not show up, and when the Peng family organized manpower to evacuate, the ships were unexpectedly attacked by many unidentified assailants.

As a result, the people of the Peng family were forcibly held back in Wind Lake City, unable to leave the Qinguang Sea Domain in time.

The Peng family sought help from other major families in Wind Lake City, but in times of crisis, everyone fended for themselves. It was even more apparent that there were enemies intentionally targeting the Peng family. With the old ancestor of the Peng family not showing up, it was possible that his whereabouts were unknown.

The conflicts and grudges accumulated in the past life of Wind Lake City had already reached their limit. It was already a kindness not to add insult to injury. Now, having to risk offending those mysterious people and leaving with the people of the Peng family, naturally, no one was willing to do so.

“Entering Wind Lake City alone! Selling such information to Lord Hai Ao will surely earn praise!”

Kou Maojiang’s eyes rolled a few times. He had been paying special attention to Peng Huaitao and the others before, thinking that there might be an opportunity to claim credit. Now it seemed that his hunch was correct.

Kou Maojiang looked at the array where the auras of Peng Huaitao and the others disappeared. Without delay, he was about to head to the center of Wind Lake City to report the information to those sea monsters.

!!..

“Chi!”

A faint sound echoed in the courtyard. A flash of sword light passed by, freezing Kou Maojiang in place. His eyes widened in disbelief.

The sword light was too fast. By the time Kou Maojiang sensed it, he had already been struck in the forehead by the sword, with no resistance at all. Kou Maojiang’s cultivation in the Combined Aperture Tempering realm was as if it were nothing.

Chen Fei’s figure appeared in the courtyard, looking at Kou Maojiang before retracting the sword.

Kou Maojiang trembled and collapsed onto the ground, instantly turning into powder.

Chen Fei’s figure gradually faded, then dissolved into points of light and dispersed.

This was a clone of Chen Fei. Chen Fei himself, upon receiving Peng Huaitao and the others, had noticed something peculiar about Peng Huaitao and Peng Yuelan. Using his Heavenly Eye, he had followed the traces and sent his clone to this courtyard.

Kou Maojiang had decent strength, being in the late stage of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm. However, in front of Chen Fei’s clone, whether it was the late stage or even the peak of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, there hadn’t been much of a difference.

Several tens of miles away, Chen Fei himself had led Peng Huaitao and the others into the sea, heading towards the Minghu Sea Domain.

As they had watched Wind Lake City recede into the distance, Peng Huaitao and the others had seemed somewhat dazed. They hadn’t expected to leave Wind Lake City in their lifetime.

Though there had been a glimmer of hope in their hearts, it had been fading with each passing moment.

Peng Huaitao and the others had looked at Wind Lake City, then turned to glance at Chen Fei, their eyes filled with gratitude.

Regardless of whether Chen Fei had had any dealings with Peng Xuming, the fact that Chen Fei had been taking them away from Wind Lake City had made him their savior.

Chen Fei had remained expressionless, observing his surroundings with his Heavenly Eye. In his heart, he had hesitated: should he seize an opportunity to fly directly into the sky and leave the Qinguang Sea Domain from above?

Most of these sea monsters stayed in the sea, and although they also observed the sky, as long as the distance was sufficient, it was generally difficult to detect the whereabouts of Chen Fei and the others.

Compared to traveling through the sea, flying from the sky would undoubtedly greatly reduce the time needed, but it might slightly increase the chances of being discovered.

However, walking with three people through the sea also posed the possibility of encountering other unforeseen events.

As Chen Fei pondered over these matters, his brow suddenly furrowed in astonishment as he looked towards the direction of Wind Lake City. At this moment, there were unexpectedly two auras of third-tier sea monsters heading straight towards them.

“Have we been discovered?”

Various scenes flashed through Chen Fei’s mind from inside Wind Lake City. There shouldn’t have been any possibility of being discovered. So where had things gone wrong?

Before Chen Fei could figure it out, the auras of the two sea monsters were already less than thirty miles away from them. Clearly, even though Chen Fei had concealed their auras with the Concealment Bell, the sea monsters had still managed to detect their position.

“Elder, what’s happening?” Peng Yuelan saw Chen Fei’s unusual expression and asked cautiously.

“We’ve been discovered. My clone will lead you away first.”

A shadow emerged from behind Chen Fei and quickly solidified into form.

The clone took the Concealment Bell, flickered, and changed direction slightly, continuing to fly towards the Qinguang Sea Domain with Peng Huaitao and the others.

Chen Fei’s main body floated above the sea surface, stopping several tens of meters away from it, gazing ahead.

In just a moment, two figures appeared in the distance, their auras directly locking onto Chen Fei, ignoring Peng Huaitao and the others who were further away.

It was evident that the two sea monsters were chasing after Chen Fei, not because Peng Huaitao and the others had leaked any auras.

Chen Fei remained composed as the two sea monsters approached from a distance. His gaze couldn’t help but shift towards the sea monster on the right.

Both sea monsters were at the late stage of the third order and were currently appearing in human form before Chen Fei. However, the sea monster Chen Fei was focusing on had a sharp horn protruding from its head.

With just one glance at the horn, one could sense its sharpness.

Not only was it extremely sharp, but Chen Fei also sensed a peculiar fluctuation within the horn.

“Human, you almost got away!” A strange tone emanated from the mouth of the sea monster on the left.

Chen Fei turned to look. This sea monster was the one he had initially sensed in Wind Lake City, and it was also the strongest sea monster in the city.

On the contrary, Chen Fei hadn’t noticed the unicorn sea monster on the right when he observed yesterday.

Now, this unicorn sea monster was not far away. If Chen Fei hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he would almost instinctively have ignored its existence.

It was a very peculiar sensation, as if his brain wanted to overlook this sea monster.

Yesterday, this unicorn sea monster should not have been in Wind Lake City. Otherwise, even if he wanted to subconsciously ignore it, his Heavenly Eye would have captured its presence.

“Very clever concealment technique, but unfortunately, you’ve had the misfortune of encountering me,” the unicorn sea monster said, looking at Chen Fei, its head slightly raised.

“You’re worthy of knowing my name. I’m called Yan Liu!”

“Are you a descendant of the Monster King?”

Chen Fei looked at the unicorn sea monster, his expression suddenly changing. He recalled sensing the aura of three Monster Kings from afar in Sea Dominion City previously, and one of the Monster Kings’ auras bore some resemblance to this unicorn sea monster.

The cultivation of demonic beasts sometimes depended on their own efforts, but it often placed more emphasis on their bloodline.

Demonic beasts with powerful bloodlines, even if they don’t practice much, can easily reach the second order.

If a demonic beast carries the bloodline of a Monster King, depending on the concentration of the bloodline, the stronger ones can even break through directly to the third order and make rapid progress within the third order.

Not only do they possess unique advantages in terms of strength and realm, but some demonic beasts with powerful bloodlines also have special talents.

Just like the teleportation talent Chen Fei obtained in the Black Divine Domain, it was actually extracted from monstrous beasts.

If this unicorn sea monster is indeed a descendant of the Monster King, it wouldn’t be surprising if it possesses some unique talents. Chen Fei being discovered could be attributed to these talents.

“You have good insight. I almost hesitate to kill you!”

Yan Liu surveyed Chen Fei, his gaze filled with disdain. “Relax your mind and let me leave a mark. I can spare your life!”

“Lord Yan Liu, wouldn’t it be better to just devour him directly?” Hai Ao looked at Chen Fei with a greedy expression.

It had been a while since they had swallowed a cultivator in the Combined Aperture Tempering realm. For creatures like them, cultivators of this level were considered a great nourishment.

“Living humans will be more useful!”

Yan Liu looked at Chen Fei and declared loudly, “I’ve given you a chance. Don’t waste it!”

As Yan Liu’s words fell, a majestic momentum instantly enveloped the surroundings. Compared to other third-tier late-stage sea monsters, Yan Liu’s aura undoubtedly appeared more ferocious.

Beside him, Hai Ao was also at the third-tier late-stage, but compared to Yan Liu, he instantly seemed much weaker.

In Chen Fei’s perception, Yan Liu’s strength, while not yet at the peak of the third order, was probably not far from it.

This was the formidable power possessed by a descendant of the Monster King. Not only were they stronger than their counterparts of the same rank, but they also possessed unique talents that ordinary sea monsters couldn’t match.

Chen Fei remained silent. A beam of light radiated from his forehead, scanning the surroundings. The nearest third-tier sea monsters were all fifty miles away.

As for within Wind Lake City, the original third-tier late-stage sea monsters were all absent today. It was unclear whether it had anything to do with the arrival of this unicorn sea monster.

But regardless of the reason, confirming that there were no other third-tier sea monsters disturbing them here was what mattered!

The Qianyuan Sword appeared in Chen Fei’s hand as he stepped forward with his right foot.

Underneath his feet, ripples spread, causing slight distortions in the void. Chen Fei’s figure disappeared in an instant, only to reappear in front of the two sea monsters.

The expressions of Yan Liu and Hai Ao instantly darkened. Yan Liu couldn’t help but laugh in anger. A mere mid-stage Combined Aperture Tempering realm human dared to take the initiative to attack them, showing utter ignorance of their power.

Even without revealing his true form, Yan Liu launched a fist towards Chen Fei, and the terrifying force emanating from Yan Liu’s fist filled the surroundings.

Even though he wasn’t in his true form, the power of Yan Liu, this descendant of the Monster King, was still terrifying. Even a late-stage Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator would need to be cautious when facing this punch.

A momentary lapse in attention would almost inevitably result in injury.

Hai Ao, beside him, stepped back with both feet, his entire body rushing towards Chen Fei.

With a burst of sound in the air, Hai Ao’s body began to swell. When it came to killing, Hai Ao preferred to use his true form, as he could directly devour the bodies of humans after killing them.

By then, part of the mid-stage Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator’s cultivation base could be converted into his power.

“Clang!”

The Qianyuan Sword unsheathed, emitting a long, melodious hum.. Chen Fei’s aura suddenly exploded, shocking the heavens and earth!
