nChapter 915: Violent Killing

nEditor: Dragon Boat Translation

nAt the eastern gate of Lingxi City, Chen Fei glanced up at the towering city wall before lowering his head and walking past it.

nShen Shundong and the others watched Yan Ming’an’s departing figure, their brows furrowing slightly. Where was Yan Ming’an heading now?

nShen Shundong’s mind raced with various thoughts as he suddenly moved to intercept Yan Ming’an. Within the city, even if there were uncertainties, they were still under their control.

nBut outside the city, the variables increased significantly, making it easy to lose track of Yan Ming’an.

nIf that were the case, they would need to lock Yan Ming’an within Lingxi City, even if it meant taking direct action.

nAs they had just mentioned, the relationship between the Sky Resonance Court and the Bai House was very good.

nIf Yan Ming’an were indeed imprisoned in Lingxi City, it would not be a major issue.

nHowever, as Shen Shundong moved, Chen Fei’s speed suddenly surged, and in an instant, Shen Shundong found himself unable to stop Chen Fei’s path. In the blink of an eye, Chen Fei had dashed out of Lingxi City.

n“Clang!”

nThe sound of clashing weapons echoed as the guards at the eastern gate noticed the commotion and all turned their eyes toward it.

nOnly when they saw that Shen Shundong had not actually made a move did they shift their gaze away.

n“Chase!”

nShen Shundong barked the command, his figure vanishing from the eastern gate.

nBehind him, Chi Chengyuan’s figure also flickered and disappeared.

nOutside Lingxi City, Chen Fei had already soared into the air.

nChen Fei sensed the spatial rifts, which allowed for movement, but the distance was limited to a few dozen miles and would easily be detected by Shen Shundong and the others.

nYan Ming’an did not possess spatial movement abilities, and very few in the human race had such special powers.

nMost who wished to use spatial rifts for movement needed to rely on special divine powers to achieve it.

nIn the Gong Clan, there were indeed treasures that allowed for spatial movement.

nHowever, these were all top-tier treasures and extremely rare, not accessible to ordinary people in the Sun Moon Realm.

nAt this moment, if Chen Fei suddenly used a spatial move, Shen Shundong and the others would likely stop and report the situation, creating even more variables.

nSeven thousand miles away, Chen Fei’s figure slowly halted.

nHe could not continue forward; continuing would mean leaving the Gong Clan’s territory.

nAt that point, the dangers Chen Fei would face would multiply.

nIn the Return to Nothing Realm, the safest places were undoubtedly the cities of their respective races.

nOutside the cities, while the safety could be reasonably assured, there were usually no huge dangers under normal circumstances.

nUnless, of course, one encountered some particularly unfortunate events.

nOnce entering areas outside the territory, it was difficult to predict what might happen.

nChen Fei had acquired a lot of useful knowledge from Yan Ming’an’s surface memories. However, Yan Ming’an himself had very limited knowledge about the areas outside the Gong Clan’s cities.

nGenerally, no one would choose to act outside the cities of other races and cross over the boundary.

nThe Return to Nothing Realm was home to myriad races.

nThe term “myriad races” is a virtual number, not because the actual number of races is fewer than ten thousand, but because the actual number exceeds that.

nOf course, most of these races are relatively weak, and to survive, they choose to depend on more powerful races.

nThe Ice Race has vassal races, and the human race naturally does as well.

nIn the Return to Nothing Realm, apart from many lawful neutral races, there are actually more chaotic and evil races.

nThese chaotic and evil races do not build cities and often act alone, but they are all powerful or peculiar in nature.

nIn the human race, the Sun Moon Realm is considered a core strength, but in the wilds of the Return to Nothing Realm, its power does not guarantee sufficient safety.

nFor greater safety, having multiple Sun Moon Realm practitioners acting in groups is a good option.

nAlternatively, having at least a Sixth Stage Emperor Realm practitioner could roughly ensure safety while acting alone.

nApart from this, below the Sun Moon Realm, the human race generally does not venture outside their borders.

nIn fact, many people from the human race spend their entire lives within the city, experiencing birth, aging, illness, and death within a radius of nearly ten thousand miles.

nSeeing Yan Ming’an stop, Shen Shundong and Chi Chengyuan did not rashly approach but maintained a cautious distance of several miles, observing the surroundings carefully.

nIf anything seemed off, they would quickly retreat.

nAfter observing for a moment, Shen Shundong and his companion could not detect anything unusual; indeed, Yan Ming’an was the only one visible in the distance.

n“Yan Ming’an, did you deliberately lure us here to kill us?” Chi Chengyuan sneered, looking at Yan Ming’an in the distance.

nYan Ming’an’s Invincible Golden Body was well-known within the Sun Moon Realm circles of Tianhai City, as it was one of the top protective divine powers among the human race.

nThe fact that the second young lady of the Sky Resonance Court was interested in Yan Ming’an was somewhat related to this divine power.

nHowever, to think that the Invincible Golden Body alone could defeat or even kill the two of them was quite unrealistic.

nAlthough Shen Shundong and his companion’s divine powers were slightly inferior to Yan Ming’an’s, they were by no means mediocre; otherwise, they would not have been able to serve as guards in the Sky Resonance Court.

nIn a one-on-one fight, they were not afraid, let alone now that they were two against one.

n“That is indeed my intention!”

nHearing Chi Chengyuan’s words, Chen Fei chuckled softly. He took a step backward with his right foot and instantly appeared several miles away, charging toward Shen Shundong and Chi Chengyuan.

nSeeing Yan Ming’an truly coming toward them, Shen Shundong and Chi Chengyuan’s brows furrowed. Instead of rushing forward to confront him, they retreated a short distance and continuously scanned their surroundings.

nIn Shen Shundong and Chi Chengyuan’s minds, unless Yan Ming’an had gone mad, it was unlikely for him to attack them alone. There might indeed be an ambush nearby.

nYet, after retreating several dozen miles, no other activity was detected. Yan Ming’an was still only a few miles away.

nThere really was no ambush!

nWatching Yan Ming’an charge forward with a fierce momentum, Shen Shundong and Chi Chengyuan’s eyes turned cold.

nKilling Yan Ming’an would definitely enrage the second young lady, but severely wounding him and leaving him with just a breath of life would likely be more acceptable to her.

nChi Chengyuan raised his hands, and a towering mountain shadow appeared above Chen Fei.

nIn the Mountain Sea Realm, various phenomena often occurred during battles, but these were merely illusions reflecting intent and mental pressure.

nIn the Sun Moon Realm, however, the divine powers involved contained real, immense force, not just atmospheric pressure.

nChen Fei felt his body sink slightly, the golden light on his surface wrinkling as if it might be torn apart by the immense force.

nShen Shundong’s long spear appeared in his hand. His body naturally bent, and blazing flames surged upward, turning into a streak of rainbow light that rushed toward Chen Fei.

nChi Chengyuan’s divine powers were both offensive and defensive, while Shen Shundong’s powers were more attack-oriented. Their combination allowed them to usually escape unharmed even in dangerous situations.

nFacing Yan Ming’an, who was also at the initial stage of the Sun Moon Realm, Shen Shundong and Chi Chengyuan saw no reason to defend and thus launched their full offensive.

nThe Invincible Golden Body was indeed outstanding in defense, not easily destroyed by a single attack.

nChen Fei, seeing Shen Shundong charging toward him, decided to stay in place and looked up at the mountain shadow overhead.

nIf Chen Fei were truly using the Invincible Golden Body, facing Chi Chengyuan’s divine power would not make him completely immobile, but it would slow him down significantly.

nWhen faced with Shen Shundong’s attacks, he would only be able to struggle to defend himself.

nIn the Sun Moon Realm, even a skilled individual would struggle to take on two opponents. Only the true prodigies of major powers could manage such a feat.

n“Boom!”

nShen Shundong’s purple flame spear collided with Chen Fei’s palm. Heavenly fire scorched, and the primordial energies of heaven and earth twisted as a wave of force swept outward.

nThe space itself was not going to shatter; the Sun Moon Realm did not possess such power, even battles between Sixth Stage Emperor Realm did not have such destructive capacity.

nShen Shundong looked at Yan Ming’an, who did not retreat a step, his eyes widening slightly.

nAlthough the golden light on Yan Ming’an’s body was violently trembling and had been on the verge of collapse under the attacks of Chi Chengyuan and himself, why did Yan Ming’an still appear so relaxed at this moment?

nShen Shundong sensed something was wrong and instinctively tried to withdraw his spear.

nHowever, as soon as Shen Shundong began to pull the purple flame spear, he realized he couldn’t move it. Looking up, he saw that Yan Ming’an had somehow tightened his grip, holding the tip of the spear firmly in his hand.

n“Let go!”

nShen Shundong roared as he spun the spear, channeling extreme penetrating power from the shaft to the tip.

nThe scorching heavenly fire gathered at the spear’s tip, forming a fiery needle that pierced through everything around.

nYet, as Shen Shundong twisted the spear, he found he couldn’t turn it. The purple flame spear seemed to be welded into Yan Ming’an’s hand.

nAt that moment, Shen Shundong’s face changed drastically.

nHow could Yan Ming’an possess such immense power? Had he gained some significant advantage from the lower realms?

nBefore Shen Shundong could fully process this thought, an irresistible force burst from the spear shaft. Shen Shundong instinctively let go, but it was too late; his hand bones shattered, and he staggered.

nChen Fei grabbed the spear and used it like a sword, slicing toward Shen Shundong.

nAlthough Chi Chengyuan’s mountain divine power exerted considerable pressure, Chen Fei was unaffected due to his dominance body.

nAs a result, Chen Fei’s spear strike was as swift as a shooting star. Shen Shundong had no time to evade and could only cross his arms to block.

n“Boom!”

nShen Shundong felt a numbing in his arms before he could even process anything else; his arms turned into a cloud of blood.

nThe purple flame spear then cut through Shen Shundong’s chest with no significant resistance, slicing through cleanly.

nShen Shundong’s body stiffened as he stared at Yan Ming’an.

nThis couldn’t be Yan Ming’an; no matter how many fortuitous encounters he had, it was impossible for his strength to change so drastically.

nHowever, understanding this at this moment was already too late.

nA wave of energy surged, and Shen Shundong exploded into a cloud of blood mist.

nSeveral miles away, Chi Chengyuan’s pupils contracted sharply. Without hesitation, he turned and rushed toward Lingxi City.

nJust as he took a step, a figure emerged from a spatial rift, and the purple flame spear aimed at Chi Chengyuan.

n“Seal!”

nChi Chengyuan, trembling with fear, raised a mountain to shield himself.

n“Whoosh!”

nThe spear tip paused slightly before the mountain but then pierced through the entire mountain range with unstoppable force, the tip driving through Chi Chengyuan’s head.

nChi Chengyuan’s mouth trembled, trying to speak.

nChen Fei stepped forward, gripping Chi Chengyuan’s head with one hand and casting the Divine Dream Technique.

nThousands of miles away, within Lingxi City’s teleportation hall, a graceful figure slowly emerged. A peak Sun Moon Realm old servant stood respectfully beside this figure.

n“Uncle Fu, tell me, why does Ming’an always try to avoid me?”

n
