Chapter 165. Backed Into a Corner
As he said this, Shi Ritian wore a lecherous grin so revolting that it turned the stomach.
When Cailin heard those words and saw that utterly disgusting expression on his face, rage surged through her at once, and she felt as though she were about to vomit.
She raised both hands forcefully and pointed straight at Shi Ritian, cursing him viciously, "I truly do not know how the Ancient Royal Clan could have produced a scum like you! Dragon-Elephant Giant Spirit Clan? Do you have any idea how disgusting you really are? And your royal father even gave such a fine spirit pill to someone like you. What a complete waste of a heavenly treasure. I think if your royal father knew you were using his spirit pill here to bully the weak and oppress our Heaven-Devouring Python Clan, the old man would probably die of anger on the spot."
Those words struck directly at Shi Ritian's sorest point.
Competition within the Ancient Royal Clan had been unimaginably fierce in recent years, with every side fighting over the position of the new king of the Ancient Royal Clan.
Shi Ritian, in particular, was a direct-blooded dragon son of the Dragon-Elephant Giant Spirit Clan, and the entire Giant Spirit Clan had placed great hopes upon him.
The Dragon King had indulged him in every possible way.
It was precisely because of that indulgence that Shi Ritian had become so cruel, incompetent, and unlearned.
On top of that, Shi Ritian had always had everything he wanted. When had he ever been forced to listen to words mocking him like this?
Rage exploded from Shi Ritian in an instant. Without another word, while Cailin was not paying attention, both his palms erupted with two more streaks of violet lightning.
No one had time to react. Shi Ritian's movements were as swift as thunder itself, and by the time the two streaks of violet lightning landed on Cailin's body, she was blasted to the ground once again, immediately coughing up a great mouthful of blood.
To be honest, even Chu Feng and Jin Wuwei were taken aback by what they saw.
Chu Feng truly had not expected Shi Ritian to be so unable to withstand provocation, nor had he expected him to strike so viciously all of a sudden.
If Cailin herself had not possessed a certain level of cultivation, then under the simultaneous impact of those two streaks of violet lightning, she would likely already have been reduced to ashes.
Jin Wuwei instinctively wanted to go over and check on Cailin's condition, but Cailin was now Chu Feng's woman, and Jin Wuwei did not dare act rashly.
Although Jin Wuwei was not from the human world, but from the Ancient Royal Clan, after following Chu Feng for these past years, he had seen and learned quite a great deal.
He understood very clearly that men and women should keep proper boundaries.
Without a word from Chu Feng, Jin Wuwei did not dare make any improper move.
Yet even at a moment like this, Shi Ritian still had no idea that death was already upon him.
Seeing that Cailin had no power to fight back seemed to give Shi Ritian immense confidence.
He once again began circulating his power at great speed, and purple light started flashing from both his dragon claws.
In the next instant, thunder rolled through the heavens along with Shi Ritian's rumbling, indistinct voice.
"See that? I am no longer what I was in the past. My cultivation has already surpassed the Fifth Level. Even the leader of the Heaven-Devouring Python Clan cannot stand against me. Today, I will wash away the humiliation you brought upon me last time. This violet lightning contains all the spiritual power of our Giant Spirit Clan, added to my own cultivation. No matter who it is, none of them can break free once they fall into my hands. Chu Feng, you human brat who does not know the immensity of Heaven and Earth, today I will make you truly experience what it means to have your soul scattered."
"Die!"
The moment the words left his mouth, Shi Ritian shot into the air. His enormous dragon tail lashed violently against a nearby hill.
The earth shook, the mountains trembled, and the momentum was overwhelming. All that could be heard was a deafening rumble.
Shi Ritian looked as though he had gone mad. His massive dragon tail whipped about wildly, and with a casual sweep, it directly destroyed a nearby mountain.
Then the dragon tail began flashing with violet light as it hacked straight down toward Chu Feng's head.
From the look of it, he was clearly trying to use that force to split Chu Feng to death.
Seeing this, Jin Wuwei's eyes widened with fury. "Shi Ritian, I think you've truly gone insane. Are you courting death?"
"Courting death?" Shi Ritian cast Jin Wuwei a scornful glance. His enormous body coiled through the air as he looked down at Jin Wuwei with the lofty bearing of a superior.
"You worthless trash from the Battle-Heaven Golden Lion Clan, and you dare bark in front of me? Your master used a woman to raise his cultivation, and you are fit for nothing but to be his dog. Today, I would like to see whether I am the one courting death, or you are."
Jin Wuwei flew into a rage. "You really start a dye workshop the moment someone gives you a little color, don't you? Do you really think you're so great? Aren't you relying on your royal father too? Otherwise, I wonder who it was that begged for mercy like a dog in front of us last time. Since you want to fight, then make your move already. Don't think for a second that I'd be afraid of you."
It was obvious that Jin Wuwei had truly been enraged to the limit. Just as he was about to make his move, Chu Feng lifted a hand and stopped him.
Chu Feng's expression remained calm, as though Shi Ritian's mockery had nothing at all to do with him.
Amid the chaos, Chu Feng slowly raised his eyes. There was not the slightest ripple within his Chaos Dual Pupils as he spoke in an indifferent voice,
"You are supposed to be a prodigy of the Dragon-Elephant Giant Spirit Clan, aren't you? So why is everything you do so disgraceful? Honestly, if the Ancient Royal Clan is truly full of creatures like you, then not to mention our human race, I doubt any other race would think much of you either.
And you keep saying I rose by relying on a woman, but are you even worthy of obtaining the Seven-Colored Spiritual Aura? Everyone under the Three Realms has heard of the Seven-Colored Spiritual Aura. The capable obtain it.
The two of you are both from the Ancient Royal Clan, so you should know those rules by heart, shouldn't you? Then why is it that after all these years, you still never obtained it? Could it be because you simply lacked the ability to control the Seven-Colored Spiritual Aura?
Now that the Seven-Colored Spiritual Aura belongs to me, you've become unwilling to accept it. What a pity. Your strength does not match your ambition, so what use is there in saying all this here? You are only humiliating yourself."
Chu Feng did not speak loudly. He stood there with perfect composure, as though he were merely chatting leisurely with an old friend after a long separation.
And yet even so, every single word he spoke entered the ears of everyone present with perfect clarity.
Naturally, Shi Ritian heard it all clearly and distinctly, and the smile on his face froze.
But what infuriated Shi Ritian most was not that Chu Feng's words were harsh.
It was Chu Feng's airy, unbothered attitude.
Shi Ritian felt as though he were nothing more than a clown in front of Chu Feng.
It was as if even after exhausting all his strength, he still could not compare to a single finger of Chu Feng's. He was already standing at the brink, yet Chu Feng could still remain this calm. In Shi Ritian's eyes, that bearing and that arrogant composure were unbearably glaring.
Chu Feng continued, "Why have you gone silent? Everything I said is true. With your pitiful little bit of skill, even if the Seven-Colored Spiritual Aura were given to you, would you be able to refine it? Wouldn't you just lose control and have your soul scattered? Though I do not know how the Heaven-Devouring Python Clan developed in the past, since the Seven-Colored Spiritual Aura is such a precious thing, something that can not only raise one's cultivation but also purify the spiritual power within one's bloodline, then how could something this good possibly have remained until now?"
