Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor

Chapter 1953: Chapter 1938: The Happy Old Man

"No! Don’t! Brother Luan! Ah!"

Finally, an extremely painful and tragic scream echoed in the room.

The white-robed elder Ya Shen had already kneeled before the old man.

"Haha! Haha! Hahahahaha!"

The old man’s ancient hand pressed against Ya Shen’s face. Seeing him beg for mercy at his feet, witnessing his suffering under his hand, and hearing those painful cries, the old man laughed heartily, resembling a mad demon.

At this moment, his emotions were extremely tumultuous and surging, and even his thoughts had become immensely clear. Finally... finally, he was personally punishing this beast who had framed him years ago.

The old man originally thought he might never have this opportunity in his lifetime.

In the past, not to mention punishing this beast, he hadn’t had the courage to step into the Northern Wilderness for years.

If it weren’t for this new master, he might never have a chance for revenge in his life!

Filled with gratitude, the old man lifted his head once more, turning toward that figure.

At this moment, Shi Feng had stood up from the main seat, walked to the window, and looked down at the road below which was still teeming with people. It was unclear what he was thinking.

Miss Qing Yan remained standing quietly by his side, calm and serene.

And at that moment, Shi Feng suddenly furrowed his brow, raised his head to gaze at the firmament, his eyes like stars, seemingly penetrating all things.

...

"C-City Lord! Why do I feel like this person is staring right at us?" A surprised voice suddenly echoed from within the endless firmament.

"I feel it too, as if we’ve been targeted by a supreme beast." Immediately, another voice spoke with horror.

Within this firmament, five figures stood proudly, their eyes fixed on the ancient city of Guli below, specifically targeting the Guli Building.

"This person, even I cannot discern his level in the Martial Arts Realm!" At this point, the majestic Guli City Lord spoke slowly with a serious expression.

"What!"

"What!"

...

Upon hearing the City Lord’s words, the others were utterly shocked.

Their esteemed City Lord was a Nine-star Demigod, yet in this world, there was someone whose existence he could not see through, this...

"Could it be him?" Subsequently, the Guli City Lord seemed to think of something, his dignified face changed at that moment.

"Him?"

"Him?"

"City Lord, could you be thinking of him!" Then, someone also thought of that person.

"Him? Him! Are you talking about..." Then someone else considered and slowly uttered a name that seemed as heavy as a mountain: "Shi Feng!"

"Hmm!" Upon hearing those two words, the Guli City Lord’s face became as serious as attending a funeral, nodding, he sighed lightly, and said: "It seems he really has come! Our Gu’e Mountain, our Ancient Boundary Domain, may change masters!"

"Boom!" A thunderous sound shattered the heavens, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and in an instant, the weather changed dramatically as a torrential downpour began.

"It’s raining!" Looking at the sky outside, Shi Feng murmured softly.

Meanwhile, the painful screams in the room and the old man’s laughter had stopped. The white-robed elder Ya Shen of the Heavenly Desolation Sacred Land had died at the hands of the old man.

The face on the corpse remained with eyes wide open, still holding the expression of extreme agony before death.

At this moment, Shi Feng’s thoughts stirred, and seven blood arrows sprayed from the body’s seven orifices, shooting toward him.

Ya Shen’s Power of Death, blood, and soul were instantly absorbed by Shi Feng into the Blood Stone Stele, leaving the body as an extremely withered corpse.

Right then, Shi Feng turned slowly from the sky outside, his gaze focusing on the old man. At this moment, Shi Feng had already discerned something, saying to the old man: "You are about to advance."

"Yes, my master!" Hearing Shi Feng’s words, the old man responded with full respect and excitement.

Then, he said: "In that instant of punishing Ya Shen, my heart felt refreshed, the hatred suppressed for decades released and burst forth. My thoughts became profoundly clear, and the path of Martial Arts widened at that moment. I crossed over in that instant, about to reach the other shore!"

From a Seven-star Demigod, he was about to step into the Eight-star Demigod Realm, which filled the old man with excitement.

Breaking through in one leap, from now on, he would be second only to the Nine-star Supreme Expert! Furthermore, he had cultivated the Seven-star Demigod Battle Skill taught by the new master, previously extinguishing an Eight-star Demigod powerful figure with the immature skill.

In the future, should he succeed in entering the Eight-star Demigod Realm and mastering the Seven-star Demigod-level Battle Technique, the old man was confident he could reign supreme in the Eight-star Demigod Realm.

Then Shi Feng spoke to the old man again slowly, saying: "Since you’re about to advance, then focus on comprehending Martial Arts here. Once you successfully step into the Eight-star Demigod, I shall grant you an Eight-star Demigod Battle Skill!"

Saying it so casually, Shi Feng seemed to not care about granting the Eight-star Demigod Battle Skill. Yet, the old man’s already excited face became incredibly animated:

"Eight... Eight-star... Demigod... Battle Skill..."

Simple words, and yet at this moment, the old man could hardly articulate them, reduced to a stammer. His entire body trembled.

The Seven-star Demigod Battle Skill granted earlier was already so divine; if it were an Eight-star... at this moment, the old man couldn’t even imagine it. He felt he was dreaming, as if everything around him was unreal.

"Thank you, my master! Thank you, my master! Many thanks to my master!" The old man expressed his gratitude to Shi Feng repeatedly.

He finally understood this was his grand opportunity, his great chance. At this moment, the old man secretly vowed in his heart: from now on, he must cling tightly to this master’s leg, pledging loyalty to the death!

"No need to thank, that’s it! Focus here, and I, the Demon Lord, shall take a stroll. Once you successfully advance, we shall go to Gu’e Mountain." Shi Feng said to the old man.

Observing the old man’s current state, Shi Feng saw he was already on the brink of breakthrough. As he comprehended and stabilized Martial Arts, a few hours would suffice.

Regarding these hours, Shi Feng was in no hurry to hit the road.

And as he spoke, Shi Feng moved his hands, creating a Handprint. Within mere moments, he had set up a Barrier in the room, ensuring the old man’s comprehension without disturbance.

Under the Barrier of the Nine Nether Demon Lord, not even Nine-star Demigod Realm Martial Artists could break in.

Followed by Shi Feng’s leisurely walk toward the door.

Meanwhile, within the room, Miss Qing Yan seemed to be lost in thought as she still stood by the window, calmly gazing at the white silhouette walking away leisurely.
