Chapter 412: Demoness Lin

Chapter 412: Demoness Lin

Translator: Alsey Editor: Chrissy

Chu Feng was somewhat surprised to see that the Imperial Prince of Great Qi was actually pierced through by his spear and gravely wounded, his blood staining the mountain woods. He thought that Qi Yu’s evolutionary level was extremely high and that it would be fortunate to cause some superficial wounds.

Qi Yu let out a muffled groan but did not pause as he flew towards the folded space.

He was pierced through by the spear not because his strength was lacking, but because he dared not utilize his energy lest he suffers a frightening backlash from the domains.

For extraterrestrials forcefully crossing over, the stronger they were, the greater the difficulty. Thus, he endured in silence and didn’t release his strength despite his heart burning with boundless fury.

The ancient talismans and sacred scriptures around him were immediately damaged and completely destroyed.

This was a saint’s personal writings.

After his energy was wiped away and retained only tranquility, it could serve as a protective tool. But now, all of it had been destroyed.

Only then did Qi Yu halt his steps. His entire body began to glow as he erupted with frightening energy fluctuations. Within moments, the bloody hole on his chest vanished as his flesh began to heal.

But he groaned in agony because both his legs were still shrouded in lingering flames.

The flames were still burning even though he had charged into the folded space and were even extending up along his legs.

"The karmic flames of the mortal world!" His voice trembled. This was the first time he had revealed terror. He finally understood what kind of energy had wiped out the experts of the Great Qi Dynasty.

This wasn’t just the energy from domains. He had also drawn out karmic flames!

Even the Buddhist race from the top ten most powerful stars was apprehensive of this type of flame. One could easily imagine its might.

Qi Yu stood up and turned to look at Lin Naoi with strands of silver in his eyes. He clenched his teeth and stared so hard with bloodshot eyes that its corners were about to be torn apart.

He was originally full of vigor and heroism, but now he looked extremely sinister. This time... he had suffered a crushing defeat, and all of this was because of that woman. He had lost in her hands.

Following which, he shot a glance at Chu Feng with incomparably cold eyes. Knowing that the hole in his chest was the work of this man made him extremely sullen.

How could someone at the shackled realm wound him at his level? How could he be wounded if he didn’t have to suppress himself without daring to use his energy?

"Native!"

He muttered these words under his breath. His lower lip was already bleeding but he didn’t feel the pain.

How could he scold or treat the other party with disdain? He had no more face to roar because that would even make him look down on himself. This was an utter loss.

After turning around, there were still four people near him. All of them were burning in karmic flames and rolling on the ground. Only these four received shelter from the sacred scripture and were able to retreat inside.

But now, it seemed they couldn’t live much longer since they were covered in karmic flames.

Even the maid who was carrying his sword and scroll had been turned into a skeleton and then reduced to ashes.

"Ah..."

In the end, the Imperial Prince of Great Qi roared. He was full of indignation and rage. He cried out mournfully in despair, almost like a cornered beast.

He then slashed at a position just below his calves in order to prevent the flames from extending upwards. He could no longer endure, and it would result in a complete immolation if things continued at this rate.

Fresh blood spilled out, but he knew no pain.

Swoosh!

He rose into the air and brought out a piece of crystal from his chest. It was completely translucent and contained a mass of flowing scarlet within.

The crystal sealed a divine medicinal liquid within. Qi Yu shattered the crystal and swallowed all of the bright red liquid. He then flew into the folded space at lightning speed and disappeared in its depths.

During this process, he didn’t look back at the knights rolling on the ground and crying mournfully.

That was because he knew these people could no longer live.

Chu Feng didn’t chase after him because he knew there would be more dangers than benefits in the depths. The Imperial Prince of the Great Qi dynasty was still extremely terrifying even without his legs. After all, his evolutionary level was extremely high.

That place wasn’t the outside world, so Chu Feng didn’t dare act recklessly. Qi Yu would be able to utilize his full force within the folded space.

Lin Naoi watched the receding figure and didn’t give chase. She was protected by the almost transparent energy pagoda and was extremely calm as she landed on the fallen leaves.

"Roar..." Yang Heng’s hair danced in the wind as he let out a furious roar. There were a number of large defects on his body caused by the essence flames of extreme yin. He had finally driven out the high-level energy and was charging towards Chu Feng and Lin Naoi with empty hands.

But his strength was significantly reduced in his current condition.

At the same time, the small amount of extremely yin essence flames on Mu Qing’s body had also been extinguished and she was now charging over. The two ran madly with disheveled hair, accompanied by boundless fury and killing intent. They were like mad demons.

Clang, clang, clang, clang!

At this point, Chu Feng had no intention to waste his energy. He produced for bronze pillars from his spatial bottle and hurled them towards four different positions.

"Ah..." Mu Qing cried miserably as she was trapped. She saw the mist rising before her accompanied by flashes of lightning and rumbling thunder, but she couldn’t even move an inch.

Yang Heng was shocked. He took a step forward and found that the world had been replaced—there was mist everywhere with constant rumbling thunder as if lightning would strike down at any moment.

The four pillars were of extraordinary origins. Presently, only a portion of their runes had been activated, just enough to trap the two inside.

The Dragon Locking Pillars. This name wasn’t given randomly.

Chu Feng stood beside one of the pillars and spat out a stream of snowy white metallic qi. The brilliant sword intent was like a coiling flood dragon as it cut off Yang Heng’s head with pfft.

"This savage planet, this withered land... is actually going to become the land of my burial. I’m truly unresigned to have actually died at the hands of these natives!"

The knight Yang Heng’s head hadn’t died completely—his was emotions were fluctuating intensively and felt extremely sullen because he was actually killed after crossing over successfully.

"Natives of a savage planet?" Chu Feng wasn’t angry and only replied calmly. "Back then when all the start systems had to come on a pilgrimage to earth, your so-called Great Qi Dynasty was one of those who had come through the star path from behind Mount Lao. And you dare act so arrogantly?"

Bang!

Yang Heng was struck by the lightning from the Dragon Locking Pillar. In the end, his spirit was dispersed and he died in both body and soul.

Pfft!

Mu Qing was pierced through and her arm fell off causing her to wail continuously.

Chu Feng had spat out metallic sword intent and crippled her by cutting off one of her arms and legs.

"It’s quite regrettable that the Imperial Prince escaped." Chu Feng gazed at the folded space.

Not so far away, the knights drowned in karmic flames had been destroyed in both form and soul. Apart from Qi Yu, all of them were destroyed.

Lin Naoi withdrew the energy pagoda which shrunk to about two inches in size and disappeared into her body with a swoosh. She then turned towards Chu Feng with clear eyes.

"Oh, there’s someone left. I’ll go and finish them off!" Chu Feng told Lin Naoi to be careful as he soared into the air like a roc and glided over 2000 meters away.

Bang!

The diamond chakram had already shot out when he landed as the most powerful extraterrestrial in the group was blasted into a bloody mist.

The group was from the qilin’s lair. They had come offering to act as dao protectors for the prince but were actually driven away soon afterwards to patrol the mountain.

Just now, the Great Qi Dyansty’s troops had died too fast. They were annihilated within an instant.

These people had rushed over immediately after hearing the commotion and encountered Chu Feng along the way.

At this time, the group of demons, including the old llama and the Mastiff, were all charging over. They were crying out loudly in the distance.

At least their voices were pretty loud and each of them was surging with blood energy. This was especially true for the old llama who had severed eight shackles. He had a Buddhist halo behind his back and was riding atop a golden lion. He looked like a Buddhist god and the scene was truly astonishing.

A taiji diagram surrounded the old grandmaster with yin-yang qi flowing around him, an intimidating sight to behold.

The most powerful among the people from the qilin’s lair had been killed by Chu Feng. And now after seeing a group of demons charging over, they lost the will to battle and immediately turn to leave.

Bang, bang, bang...

In the end, there was no suspense. The people left behind were all eliminated with none escaping at all.

The most important reason was that these descenders weren’t accomplished at all. Those with enough ability wouldn’t come here to submit to the prince as dao protectors.

The group of great demons rushed to the entrance of the folded space. Their expressions were quite interesting as they saw Lin Naoi—they stared at her with great astonishment.

That was because they had schemed and plotted for a long time and were even prepared to bombard the land with nuclear weapons. In the end, this outrageously beautiful lady had solved all their problems with a flick of her finger.

"A demonic fairy?" the Horse King spoke with a grin.

The old llama was reciting Buddhist chants with a benevolent expression, but then... slapped his student the Horse King away.

The horde of great demons admired Lin Naoi greatly. They felt that her methods and results had far surpassed their expectations.

"I feel so much more comfortable after seeing the people from the dynasty being annihilated," the Snow Leopard King shouted.

The horde of great demons nodded and began to approach Lin Naoi. They were fairly polite because they felt that this lady was too extraordinary.

"Those not from the same family can’t enter the same house. The dynasty’s people died so miserably. Haha... I’m feeling so happy right now." A demon from Kunlun laughed.

Before long the group became familiar and no longer treated each other as strangers.

Even the Horse King said with a dry cough, "Sister-in-law, you’re indeed about three parts more beautiful than my daughter. No wonder brother Chu refuses to fall in love with another person. I wanted to be his father-in-law at first."

Lin Naoi smiled.

The others were all speechless. The Horse King’s daughter was three meters tall and extremely burly. Only the Horse King and the black yak thought her to be beautiful.

Bang!

The Horse King was kicked flying by the kind-looking old llama.

"Demoness Lin, Demon King Chu, let me out!"

At this time, Mu Qing cried out from within the Dragon Locking Pillars.

"Demoness Lin? This is clearly a fair!" The Snow Leopard King and the others weren’t happy. Lin Naoi had single-handedly annihilated all of the people from the Imperial Dynasty, gaining her the admiration of the whole group.

"Actually, this name isn’t too bad either. Demoness Lin and Demon King Chu are quite matching." The Weaver King of the Silken Cave spoke.

Even the Wudang Grandmaster was smiling and immediately began explaining the characters. "The upper half of Chu is Lin and adding a man below Lin is Chu." [1]

"Wonderful, it is indeed so." The group of demons wasn’t illiterate. For instance, the black yak and the Manchurian Tiger were fluent in many languages because they were prepared to rob every country on earth.

However, the old grandmaster Wu Qifeng suddenly stopped speaking.

"Demoness Lin!" Mu Qing screamed.

Chu Feng retrieved the Dragon Locking Pillars and let Mu Qing out. He delivered her to the Mastiff King to have her fate decided.

"Let it be. Just give her a quick death." The Mastiff King didn’t torture her. He brought out a big blade and chopped off her head swiftly, thus ending her life.

The Mastiff King’s anger had dissipated since even the entire group of experts from the Imperial Dynasty had been annihilated.

At this point, the battle on Mount Lao came to a close.

"Unfortunately, we didn’t get to see the scene of a nuclear carpet bombing."

"The chance will come at some point."

"We should hope such a scene never occurs because that indicates that we’re out of ideas."

The great demons began to discuss this matter.

The bright moon hung high up in the air and reflected on the surface of the sea.

Chu Feng and Lin Naoi had gone out towards the ocean on the jade bamboo raft. At one moment, they were floating upon the jade waves, and at the next, they were crossing through the skies under the moon.

Fish would jump out from the clear and limpid waves of the ocean from time to time.

Under the moonlight, Lin Naoi was completely bathed in a pristine halo. Her face was exquisite, flawless, and extremely beautiful.

At this time, a fragrant scent was wafting upon the waves as she enjoyed the fruits of Chu Feng’s labor such as the Southern Sea Dragon Meat Soup and roasted roc wings.

"This is the first time I’ve eaten the food you made." Lin Naoi was quite relaxed. She wasn’t that cold anymore and even seemed somewhat lazy as she gazed silently at the moon’s reflection on the water and then at Chu Feng.

"I didn’t know how to cook before, but my culinary skills improved rapidly after being troubled by those beast kings." Chu Feng smiled.

Lin Naoi couldn’t help but laugh brilliantly after hearing his words. She was feeling quite leisurely at this moment and didn’t know what to say after recalling the Gourmet Rankings he had once compiled.

Her expression became gentle as she recalled the past. She felt relaxed when she was with Chu Feng. She gazed at the horizon and the distant shore of the starry skies.

That night, Chu Feng had already seen her glancing at the end of the starry skies.

"Although everything was in your grasp today, there’s still a risk. What if Qi Yu decided not to retreat and bring you down together with him? Also, the people from the qilin’s former lair were rushing over. It’s disadvantageous for you alone."

Chu Feng brought up the incident back during the day.

"They can’t break through the energy pagoda," said Lin Naoi.

But she was somewhat hesitant and sighed. "Actually, I wanted to remove you from this matter. Big trees attract the wind. Currently, you’ve attracted the attention of too many people."

Lin Naoi told him that some experts from the qilin’s former lair had arrived back then. They had an agreement to attack the Great Qi Dynasty together with her.

These people weren’t those killed by the knight Yang Heng, but true experts. However, Chu Feng had robbed them of their action and thus none of them made their move.

Chu Feng was astonished after hearing this.

"Qi Yu is currently too powerful to cross over to this world. The ones with the highest possibility of crossing over are some weak knights and his maids."

Lin Naoi told him that once such an event occurred, she would protect herself with the energy pagoda and lure them towards a certain valley where those true experts from the qilin’s lair were lying in wait.

"You’re actually able to contact them." Chu Feng gazed at her.

"There are those in the qilin’s lair with deep enmity towards the Great Qi Dynasty. They came from a different holy land on the same star, but their own saintess hadn’t come over yet," Lin Naoi explained.

Lin Naoi said, "Actually it’s good that we let the Great Qi Prince escape."

Chu Feng asked in astonishment, "Why is that?"

"Qi Yu’s evolutionary level is extremely high and won’t be able to cross over any time soon. Meanwhile, the saintess from another orthodoxy on the same star is on the road and about to arrive soon. The two will surely meet in the folded space and engage in a bitter battle."

Lin Naoi made such a conclusion. Her complexion was fair, her eyes were brilliant, and, being bathed in the pure moonlight, her lustrous figure seemed enshrouded in mist.

Chu Feng even felt suspicious if Lin Naoi had actually let Qi Yu go on purpose so that he would fight that so-called saintess. If that were to happen, they would both be injured and keep each other tied down.

"Ah, your plans are so thorough. This Demoness Lin is indeed more powerful than I am," Chu Feng teased.

Lin Naoi rolled her eyes at him. This kind of expression was extremely rare and was even somewhat charming.

When Lin Naoi got up and was once again gazed at the distant stars, Chu Feng felt that her moonlit figure was extremely distant from him.

That night, the whole world was shaken as the news spread out. A dynasty of evolvers was annihilated and completely reduced to ash. This shocked all the major powers.

That very night, all the entities who had arrived from the star passages waiting within the famed mountains felt uneasy. The armies from different star systems prepared themselves to descend immediately.

They wanted to cross over while no one was there to stop them.

That was because, in their eyes, it was extremely terrifying for an evolver’s dynasty to be stopped and even completely annihilated.

The very night, the whole world was shaken as numerous star passages opened and countless people charged in.
