Chapter 254: Chapter 254 Trembling Jiuzhou Chapter 254: Chapter 254 Trembling Jiuzhou âThatâs⊠a barrier!â
The Zangling Valley was silent as a tomb, its upper echelons and numerous disciples watched Ling Xiaoxiao, aghast at the terrifying blue barrier.
âThe Zangling Valley captured my father and broke his legâthis debt, I, Feng Wuchen, will remember. One day, you will pay a terrible price!â said Feng Wuchen icily, his face expressionless.
The claw gripping Beiming Kongâs neck was slowly tightening.
âFeng Wuchen, stop!â Beiming Kongâs ancestor bellowed in panic and horror, his murderous aura sweeping wildly.
âHe has already passed out; he wonât feel the pain!â Feng Wuchen said with a wicked smile, and then he violently squeezed.
With such force, Beiming Kongâs throat was mercilessly crushed by Feng Wuchen.
Feng Wuchen actually killed Beiming Kong!
The faces of the Zangling Valleyâs upper echelons and Beimingâs ancestor underwent a dramatic change, as they sunk into a brief disbelief.
âYoung⊠Beiming Kong has been killedâŠâ The disciples were stunned, overwhelmed with extreme fear.
âKong⊠my childâŠâ Beimingâs ancestor trembled, his gaze frantic and sorrowful as he watched the fallen Beiming Kong.
With his throat crushed, Beiming Kong was dead on the spot.
They couldnât believe itâwhere did Feng Wuchen get the courage to challenge the Zangling Valley and even dare to kill Beiming Kong of the Zangling Valley!
âBuzz! Buzz!â
Rage! A heaven-reaching anger emanated from Beimingâs ancestor, the intensity of his now uncontrollable power creating a maelstrom that shook the Zangling Valleyâs palace grounds. The earth quaked violently as if stricken by an earthquake.
An intimidating murderous aura burst forth, as Beimingâs ancestorâs eyes flashed with blood-red light, and his face contorted with a terrifying ferocity.
Beimingâs ancestor was enraged beyond reason!
âFeng Wuchen!â Beimingâs ancestor roared furiously toward the sky, his roar echoing through Zangling Valley. His formidable power burst like a flood, spreading like a storm.
âValley MasterâŠâ
The high-ranking officials and disciples were terrified, shuddering at the terrible fury of Beimingâs ancestor.
âBefore long, I will let you know the consequences of offending me! The next time we meet will be the day of your Zangling Valleyâs annihilation!â Feng Wuchen said with a sinister smile, slowly releasing his grip as Beiming Kongâs body fell.
âThis Valley Master will annihilate you!â Beimingâs ancestor bellowed with rage.
âBoom!â
Beimingâs ancestor shot into the sky with a thunderous blast, his terrifying power instantly obliterated the vast plaza, and palace after palace was shaken into ruin.
Beimingâs ancestorâs speed was fearsome as he soared into the sky.
âIâll let your Zangling Valley live a little longer! Enjoy this brief respite,â Feng Wuchen said coldly.
âSwoosh!â
As he finished speaking, Feng Wuchen used Instantaneous Movement and vanished in a flash.
âBoom!â
âBuzz! Buzz!â
The instant Feng Wuchen disappeared, Beimingâs ancestor threw a punch that caused a thunderous explosion. The void trembled violently, surging like furious waves.
Unfortunately, he was half a second too late, as Feng Wuchen had already escaped using Instantaneous Movement.
Beimingâs ancestor, in his fury, unleashed a power comparable to the Sixth Layer of the Tianyuan Realm. Even with the Nine Layers Qiankun Tower, Feng Wuchen stood no chance against him.
Such a formidable enemyâFeng Wuchen would be a fool not to run.
âAhh!â
Beimingâs ancestor roared skyward, venting the raging fury in his heart. His terrifying power and murderous intent spread wildly, causing the surrounding mountain ranges to tremble.
A power comparable to the Sixth Layer of the Tianyuan Realm, extreme in its terror.
Beiming Kong was the prime talent of the Zangling Valley and the beloved grandson of Beimingâs ancestor. Now that he was slain by Feng Wuchen, how could Beimingâs ancestor tolerate this?
âMy child!â Beimingâs ancestor paused in his rage, quickly flashed down, and held the falling Beiming Kong in his arms, his grief profound.
Beiming Kong was already breathless, with no signs of life.
âFeng Wuchen! Zangling Valley will not rest until you are dead!â Beimingâs ancestor roared again, tears of sorrow streaming from his aged eyes.
âIssue the order! Hunt down Feng Wuchen! Spare no expense, dig three feet into the ground if you must, but find Feng Wuchen for me!â The Third Elder commanded furiously.
âYes!â The chief disciple of the Zangling Valley nodded in terror and promptly set out with all the disciples of the valley.
The high-ranking officials of the Zangling Valley also moved out one after another.
There was no turning back nowâthe Zangling Valley and Feng Wuchen were mortal enemies; it was either the end of the Zangling Valley or the death of Feng Wuchen!
âŠ
Half an hour later, Feng Wuchen and his companions had already left Zangling Valley far behind, and were now in a valley deep in the mountains.
Having taken a Healing Pill provided by Ling Xiaoxiao, Feng Zhengxiongâs injuries had recovered remarkably fast, but the medicine could not restore a broken leg.
âChen Er, how is your fatherâs leg?â Xiao Qingqing asked with concern, extremely anxious.
âThey were too harsh, Uncle Fengâs leg, Iâm afraidâŠâ Ling Xiaoxiao spoke softly, worried that Xiao Qingqing wouldnât be able to handle the news.
A glimmer of sadness flashed through Feng Zhengxiongâs eyes, yet he smiled and said, âBeing lucky enough to escape with my life is already a blessing, whatâs one leg in comparison?â
âDonât worry, Dad has cultivated the Supreme Body. As long as itâs not severed, a broken bone will heal slowly.â Feng Wuchen said with a smile. After a thorough inspection, Feng Wuchen also felt relieved.
âChen Er, are you serious?â Feng Zhengxiong asked excitedly.
âOf course, Iâm serious,â Feng Wuchen replied earnestly. âItâs just that it will take a long time, probably half a year before he fully recovers.â
âThatâs great! As long as thereâs recovery, half a year, even a year, is no problem!â Feng Zhengxiong exclaimed with great joy, having been worried about his leg being utterly useless before.
âNo issue is good! No issue is good!â Xiao Qingqing finally let out a sigh of relief.
âBy the way, Qingqing, how did your cultivation improve so quickly? Youâve even broken through to the Fifth Level of the Yuandan Realm!â Feng Zhengxiong curiously asked, extremely shocked.
âAfter you were captured, a lot happened. Iâll tell you all about it slowly once weâre back,â Xiao Qingqing said with a smile, her face lighting up with happiness.
âHm, it seems quite a bit has happened. Chen Er and Xiao Xiao have broken through to the Tianyuan Realm! My Feng family has finally produced a Tianyuan Realm powerhouse, strong enough to contend with the Empire. No major power of any nation would dare to wreak havoc in the Feng family again,â Feng Zhengxiong said happily, his face beaming with joy.
However, what Feng Zhengxiong didnât know was that Feng Wuchen was now the strongest existence among the four great empires and had also slain the fearsome Murong Tianlie.
âUncle Feng, all the major powers of the nations have been eradicated by Brother Feng,â Ling Xiaoxiao said with a light laugh.
âWhat? All of them have been eradicated?â Feng Zhengxiongâs complexion drastically changed, a cold sweat breaking out as he shockingly turned to Feng Wuchen.
Ling Xiaoxiao smiled and said, âYes, including the mighty Tai Xu Sect.â
Feng Zhengxiong was so astonished that he was speechless. Just how powerful had Feng Wuchen become? It was hard to believe that he had eradicated all the major powers of various nations.
What else was there that he didnât know? Feng Zhengxiong felt there were more shocking things yet to be revealed.
Seeing Feng Zhengxiongâs astounded expression, Xiao Qingqing smiled without saying a word.
âXiao Xiao, you take my parents back to the Empire first,â Feng Wuchen said gravely.
âBrother Feng, arenât you coming back with us?â Ling Xiaoxiao asked.
âNot for now. I killed the Young Valley Master of Zangling Valley; they surely wonât let me go. If we all return together, Zangling Valley will definitely attack the Empire. Wouldnât that bring trouble upon the Empire and the Feng family? I need to stay behind to distract them,â Feng Wuchen said seriously.
âWhat? You killed that Young Valley Master?â Xiao Qingqing got a huge shock, her heart nearly leaping out, her face showing panic. âZangling Valley is terrifyingly powerful. Itâs going to be troublesome!â
âChen Er! That was too impulsive! Zangling Valleyâs power is extremely frightening, one of the top five powers in Jiuzhou, even more terrifying than Tianyun Sect. Offending them, even the Empire wouldnât dare interfere!â Feng Zhengxiong said in panic, extremely worried.
âDad, rest assured, I have my ways. You all can go back and focus on your recovery,â Feng Wuchen said with a light smile.
âChen Er, take care of yourself,â Xiao Qingqing admonished.
Ling Xiaoxiao swiftly took the two elders back to the Empire. With Ling Xiaoxiao escorting them, Feng Wuchen was very assured.
Meanwhile, many high-ranking members and a large number of disciples from Zangling Valley mobilized, catching the attention and speculation of various powers throughout Jiuzhou.
With Zangling Valley launching a large-scale hunt, what could have happened?
Nearly twenty thousand disciples of Zangling Valley were scattered throughout Jiuzhou, conducting a carpet-style search for Feng Wuchenâs whereabouts.
Before long, the news of Zangling Valleyâs Young Valley Master Beiming Kongâs murder spread across all powers, big and small, throughout Jiuzhou.
The death of Beiming Kong sent shockwaves through Jiuzhou!
Beiming Kong, as the Young Valley Master of Zangling Valley, a proud son of the Kyushu Heavens, had strength comparable to the Fourth Layer of the Tianyuan Realm. There were very few who dared to touch him.
Even the heads of the great powers in Jiuzhou would not dare to strike him down so readily.
Such a powerful genius, who could have struck him dead? And who would have the audacity?
The Xiao family Head had just concluded his seventieth birthday celebration when such a major event transpired in Jiuzhou. All the major powers were curious as to who could have killed Beiming Kong.
Apart from Zangling Valley, likely only the Xiao family could guess who it might be.
With He Moâs murder, the Xiao family had already suspected Feng Wuchen was the killer, and now, just the next day, Beiming Kong was also killed. It wasnât hard for the Xiao family to guess that Feng Wuchen was responsible.
Apart from Feng Wuchen, the Xiao family couldnât think of anyone else in Jiuzhou daring enough to kill Beiming Kong.
In the Xiao familyâs grand hall, knowing that it was Feng Wuchen who had killed him, everyone was shocked.
Did Feng Wuchen really have the guts to kill Beiming Kong?
âBeiming Kong was at the level of the Third Layer of the Tianyuan Realm, his strength comparable to the Fourth Layer! Itâs impossible for Feng Wuchen to have such immense power to kill him!â One elder exclaimed in shock, trembling even as he spoke.
Xiao Yuanshan spoke gravely, âAside from Feng Wuchen, no one would dare kill Beiming Kong.â
âIf itâs really Feng Wuchen who killed him, then this boy is far too terrifying!â Xiao Ran said in horror, finding it hard to believe Feng Wuchen had such formidable strength.
âImpossible! Thereâs no way Feng Wuchen could possess such strong power,â Xiao Yun said confidently. He too couldnât believe that Feng Wuchen could be so overpoweringly strong.
âFeng Wuchen could annihilate Tai Xu Sect and kill Murong Tianlie, which shows his strength is definitely not weak, not to mention he has the Nine Layers Qiankun Tower,â Xiao Tianchen said seriously, feeling some trepidation towards Feng Wuchen.
He even began to regret not acknowledging this genius grandson-in-law.
âFeng Wuchen has killed Beiming Kong and now has a vendetta with Zangling Valley. The old ancestor Beiming wonât let this go easily; Feng Wuchenâs life is likely in danger,â Xiao Yuanshan said with a sigh.
Xiao Tianchen said venomously, âSince he cannot be of use to our Xiao family, what does Feng Wuchenâs fate have to do with us?â
