Chapter 187: Chapter 187 The End of the Threat Chapter 187: Chapter 187 The End of the Threat To seize the Nine Layers Qiankun Tower, the Tai Xu Sect had suffered great losses.
First, six top experts were killed, and now five more mighty warriors along with dozens of disciples have died tragically, these were all the backbone of the Tai Xu Sect.
The Tai Xu Sect had underestimated Feng Wuchenâs strength and overestimated the power of the Tai Xu Celestial Battle Array.
After this battle, the hidden powerhouses from great forces of various countries were once again terrified by Feng Wuchenâs fearsomeness, having already been scared out of their wits.
âPeng!â
With a clawing gesture of his palm, a sound of âpengâ erupted and a wisp of cyan flame condensed in his claws, suffused with an intensely violent aura.
With a wave of Feng Wuchenâs hand, dozens of corpses instantly ignited.
Feng Wuchen stepped out of the sea of fire step by step, with the bodies behind him all turning to ash, completely obliterated.
âFeng Wuchen is a murdering demon!â
âNot a single disciple of the Tai Xu Sect was spared! Isnât he afraid of the Tai Xu Sectâs retaliation?â
âWithout a Tianyuan Realm powerhouse, nobody can handle Feng Wuchen.â
The many hidden powerhouses didnât dare to make a move. Even those who reached the Ninth Level of the Yuan Dan Realm were instantly killed by Feng Wuchen; any attempt by them to fight was simply seeking death.
After Feng Wuchen left, powerhouses from the great forces of various countries and some powerful Loose Cultivators emerged from hiding, including Protector Xinglan.
Facing the shocking aftermath of the battle, the tens of mighties fell silent.
âAt the Seventh Level of the Yuan Dan Realm, itâs hard to believe he can instantly kill warriors of the Ninth Layer!â
âIn all these years across the four empires, thereâs never been a prodigy as terrifying as Feng Wuchen.â
âThis person is cold-blooded and ruthless, offending him means certain death.â
The color drained from the faces of the tens of powerhouses, and they grew more frightened the more they spoke.
Looking at the terrified faces of these strong men, Protector Xinglan furrowed his brow and said, âFeng Wuchen is known as the strongest genius, and his power is unquestionable. To seize the Nine Layers Qiankun Tower, relying solely on our strength is impossible, unless someone is from the Tianyuan Realm.â
Feng Wuchenâs current strength was enough to instantly kill those at the Ninth Level of the Yuan Dan Realm, he was invincible beneath the Tianyuan Realm.
Only a powerhouse of the Tianyuan Realm might be able to handle Feng Wuchen.
âWeâre all here for the Nine Layers Qiankun Tower but to be honest, Iâve already lost the guts to covet it,â a strong man shook his head, not too embarrassed to admit it.
âYouâve all seen it, so many people from the Tai Xu Sect died, and the Great General of the Fenglei Sect was also killed by Feng Wuchen. Weâve offended Feng Wuchen as well, and he surely wonât let us off. With this brute around, he poses too great a threat to our sects. Why donât we join forces and kill him?â one person suggested.
âThatâs right! Not for the Nine Layers Qiankun Tower! Just to kill Feng Wuchen!â another person agreed.
âProtector Xinglan, you have the highest cultivation here, what do you think?â someone turned to ask Protector Xinglan.
âProtector Xinglan of the Ji Xing Sect?â The crowd sent shocked and awe-filled gazes his way.
Upon hearing this, Protector Xinglan stroked his beard and said gravely, âThough Feng Wuchenâs strength is formidable, if we join hands, no matter how strong Feng Wuchen is, he will run out of True Yuan eventually. When that time comes, it will mark his death. If this man doesnât die, with his frightful cultivation speed, the Tai Xu Sect, Fenglei Sect, and Ji Xing Sect will all likely face destruction.â
Upon hearing this, the strong men from the three major forces all turned pale simultaneously!
Protector Xinglan paused, then added, âThe existence of the Nine Layers Qiankun Tower is highly valued by the emperors of various countries, and the three great empires have already put pressure on the Tianwu Empire. Ye Cangqiong came looking for Feng Wuchen over this matter. Itâs unlikely that the tower will fall into our hands, so we shouldnât waste time on it. The most important thing is to get rid of Feng Wuchen.â
Feng Wuchen was fearsome, and among the major forces of various countries, except for the Huan Yun Sect, all had already made their moves. If they didnât get rid of Feng Wuchen quickly, the consequences would be unimaginable.
However, not many of the strong ones present approved, no, it would be more accurate to say neither approved nor disapproved.
No one knew whether Protector Xinglan had other motives?
The powerhouses present werenât foolish; given that they too sought the Nine Layers Qiankun Tower, they naturally didnât have much trust in othersâ words.
However, they firmly believed in the necessity of getting rid of Feng Wuchen, and this was imperative.
At this moment, Feng Wuchen was using Sword Flight to head towards the Imperial Capital.
But what Feng Wuchen didnât expect was that by the time he caught up with Ye Cangqiong, Ye Cangqiong had already been subdued and gravely injured.
Even the Great General of the Tianwu Empire dared to make a move, these people were extraordinarily bold.
The trouble today came one after another, showing just how tantalizing the Nine Layers Qiankun Tower was for the cultivators of the four empires.
The two who injured Ye Cangqiong were both old men, each at the Eighth Layer of the Yuan Dan Realm, with formidable strength.
âDid you two old fools eat the heart of a brazen beast? Even daring to attack the Great General of the Tianwu Empire,â Feng Wuchen said coldly as he stared at the two elders.
One of the elders sneered, âArenât you also a Commander of the Tianwu Empire? And yet many seek to kill you for the Nine Layers Qiankun Tower?â
âEnough talk! Hand over the Nine Layers Qiankun Tower! Or else we will kill Ye Cangqiong!â another elder glared at Feng Wuchen, threateningly, his claw aimed at Ye Cangqiongâs neck.
âCommander, they are two elders from the Huan Yun Sect of the Tianwu Empire!â Ye Cangqiong shouted with heavy injuries.
âHuan Yun Sect?â Feng Wuchen frowned, the name of another unfamiliar sect.
âHumph! What if you know? With the Nine Layers Qiankun Tower, the Huan Yun Sect wouldnât fear the major forces,â the elder holding Ye Cangqiong arrogantly sneered, his gaze looking down on everyone.
With a cold gaze fixed on the two elders, Feng Wuchen said expressionlessly, âThose who threaten me wonât have a good end. If you release General Ye now, I might consider not killing you.â
âBoom!â
âPfft!â
An elder blasted a ruthless palm into Ye Cangqiongâs abdomen, the terrible force causing Ye Cangqiong to vomit fresh blood, his injury instantly worsening.
âFeng Wuchen, if you donât hand over the Nine Layers Qiankun Tower, I donât know how much longer Ye Cangqiong can last!â the elder shouted fiercely.
Feng Wuchenâs face was ice-cold, and the murderous intent in his eyes made people dare not look directly.
But both elders were at the Eightfold of the Yuandan Realm, and one was holding onto Ye Cangqiong, so Feng Wuchen didnât dare to act rashly, for fear that Ye Cangqiong would be harmed.
Ye Cangqiong was the Great General of the Yanhuo Empire, leading soldiers into battle, and he was the most powerful person in the entire empire; the empire needed him!
âWant the Nine Layers Qiankun Tower, huh?â Feng Wuchen beckoned with his hand, and a delicate golden tower appeared out of thin air in his palm, Feng Wuchen said coldly, âThe tower is right here, if you have the ability, come and snatch it.â
âThrow it here!â barked one elder angrily. He wouldnât be fooled, for once he made a move, Feng Wuchen might very well incapacitate or even kill him instantly with terrifying speed!
âHmm?â The elder holding onto Ye Cangqiong tightened his grip aggressively, giving Feng Wuchen a menacing glare.
âSince you want it, then Iâll give it to you!â Feng Wuchen said coldly, without hesitation throwing the exquisite tower over.
Ye Cangqiongâs expression changed dramatically, he had never expected Feng Wuchen to act so decisively!
An elder grabbed at the air, and immediately drew the Nine Layers Qiankun Tower towards him, his face breaking into a delighted smile, âTo get it without any effort! The Nine Layers Qiankun Tower is finally in my hands!â
âCan you let him go now?â Feng Wuchen asked coldly.
âHumph! Feng Wuchen, you know whatâs good for you!â The elder holding Ye Cangqiong sneered, âBut with your power above ours, if we let him go now, will we still be alive?â
Feng Wuchenâs face grew even colder, raging fury boiling inside him, his icy eyes devoid of human emotion, like those of a cold-blooded animal.
âThen what do you want?â Feng Wuchen asked coldly.
The elder smiled mockingly, âHurt yourself!â
âDo you know the consequences of threatening me?â Feng Wuchen slowly raised his palm, asked coldly, as he activated the True Yuan within his body, looking ready to injure himself.
âGrand Commander, stop! Once youâre injured, they will kill you!â Ye Cangqiong shouted desperately.
âThatâs right! We will kill you! Your existence poses too much of a threat to us!â The elder who tightly held the tower sneered.
âSuck!â
With a fierce motion towards the elder holding the tower, Feng Wuchen bent his palm into a claw and shouted loudly.
The delicate tower instantly erupted with a terrifying suction force; in that instant, the elder was sucked into the tower!
âThird Elder!â The elder holding onto Ye Cangqiong was horrified, his eyes fixed on the tower in shock.
âSwoosh!â
âTsch!â
In the moment of the elderâs fear, a stream of fresh blood sprayed out, and the arm holding Ye Cangqiong was severed!
The elderâs face twitched in horror as he looked at his severed arm, the excruciating pain quickly spreading through his body, and he screamed in terror.
From one elder being absorbed by the tower to Feng Wuchen severing the other elderâs arm and rescuing Ye Cangqiong, it all happened in just a few seconds, with terrifying speed.
âSizzle sizzle sizzle!â
Having saved Ye Cangqiong, Feng Wuchen reappeared and in a flash of several sword lights, severed the limbs of the elder, blood gushing wildly.
âFeng Wuchen! You bastard!â The elder, in extreme pain, was terrified.
âJust wait for death.â Feng Wuchen said coldly.
Feng Wuchen beckoned, and the Nine Layers Qiankun Tower flew over, then released the elder who had been absorbed into it.
âThe tower! The tower!â The elder had just come out, and immediately cried out in panic, but when he heard the other elderâs terrified screams, his face changed dramatically.
âBoom!â
âPfft!â
In that moment, Feng Wuchen launched a punch, the terrible power causing the elder to vomit fresh blood. Before the elder could be flung away, Feng Wuchen grabbed his wrist and yanked him back.
âBoom!â
âPfft!â
With another punch, Feng Wuchen smashed the elderâs back, sending a loud explosion as he slammed him into the ground, followed by another spurt of fresh blood.
After the two punches, the elder suffered severe injuries.
âFeng WuchenâŠâ The severely injured elder was terrified, no longer able to rise.
âThe consequences of threatening me, just like him.â Feng Wuchen, pointing at the elder with severed hands and feet, said coldly, his hand holding the Supreme Dragon God Sword and without hesitation severed both hands and feet of the other elder!
Blood poured out, and both elders screamed continuously, with severe injuries, enduring agonizing pain while waiting for death.
This was the fate of those who threatened Feng Wuchen!
