Chapter 138: Chapter 138: One Ren Changfeng Is Not Enough to Kill Me
"My body is unique. I lost too much power helping you last time and still need time to recover, so I can’t help you this time."
The tiny snake spoke with the Blood Dragon’s pompous, old-mannish voice, which was actually a little cute.
Shen Daoxing finally understood. No wonder the Blood Dragon hadn’t appeared before him since it last acted. So this was the form it had taken.
"However, since you’re in the Imperial Mausoleum right now, don’t you have some ready-made guys you can command?"
The Blood Dragon’s voice rang out again.
Shen Daoxing turned his head and looked around.
SCREECH!
A mournful dragon’s cry rang out.
Ren Changfeng swung his six enormous arms, reached out, and grabbed the golden dragon’s neck. He then violently slammed it to the ground before smashing down another punch.
Suddenly, a brilliant golden light flared. With a long, sorrowful wail, the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon was actually being temporarily suppressed by Ren Changfeng.
"You’re next!"
Then, Ren Changfeng looked coldly at Shen Daoxing. "If you kneel and atone to my Celestial City Academy now, it’s not too late. I can grant you a quick death!"
Shen Daoxing smiled faintly. "Old man, if you kneel and apologize to me now, it’s not too late either. I can also grant you a quick death!"
Ren Changfeng’s gaze darkened abruptly. "Insolent! Brat, what other tricks do you have up your sleeve? How dare you make such outrageous claims!"
Ren Changfeng suddenly vanished from his spot. The next instant, he reappeared in front of Shen Daoxing, his six arms raised high, and brought them crashing down at once!
In response, Shen Daoxing showed no trace of fear. "Ancestors of my Gu Family, where are you?"
An ethereal sound, like a whisper from ancient times, echoed through the stone chamber.
Immediately after, the stone statues of the Gu Family ancestors in the chamber erupted in a brilliant golden light.
In an instant, a massive figure with a majestic and imposing aura appeared right beside Ren Changfeng.
It casually delivered a slap that resounded with a BANG against Ren Changfeng’s face.
Ren Changfeng’s face immediately deformed and twisted. His entire body went spinning through the air several times with a WHOOSH before crashing heavily onto the ground with a THUD.
The moment Ren Changfeng was smashed into the ground, another huge, majestic phantom emerged. It glanced down coldly and stomped down hard with its foot.
CRACK!
The sound of shattering bone was heard.
"Aaaah..."
Ren Changfeng’s horrified scream echoed throughout the stone chamber.
But it wasn’t over. Another burly figure stepped out, extended its large hand, and grabbed Ren Changfeng’s head, lifting him into the air like a chick.
Then, it stretched out its other large hand, grabbed one of Ren Changfeng’s arms, gave it a gentle twist, and then yanked it outward with force.
RIP!
Ren Changfeng’s entire arm was brutally torn right off.
A miserable scream echoed through the stone chamber, as wretched as could be.
These phantoms were all ancestors of the Martial Kingdom’s Royal Family. Though they were dead, many of them had possessed the strength of the Earth Profound Realm—or even higher—in life. Dealing with a mere Spirit Transformation Realm Martial Artist was naturally child’s play.
In just a short while, amidst a series of miserable cries, all six of Ren Changfeng’s arms were torn off, leaving him a bloody mess.
"Old man, if you kneel and apologize to me now, I can grant you a quick death!"
Shen Daoxing looked at Ren Changfeng with profound meaning. "I keep my word!"
The phantoms stood respectfully on either side of him.
One phantom even stood behind Shen Daoxing, massaging his shoulders.
Ren Changfeng stared at this scene, utterly stunned. He couldn’t understand. What was Shen Daoxing’s identity? Why were these ancestors of the Gu Family so respectful toward him and willing to obey his every command?
...
Outside the Imperial Mausoleum, atop a mountain peak, the air was thick with tension.
"Old bastard! If you dare touch my disciple, I’ll make you pay!"
Bai Yi took the gourd from his waist and took a sip of wine, his expression icy as he stared at the withered old man before him.
"Do I need your permission to do as I please?"
The withered old man looked coldly at Bai Yi.
In an instant, the wind surged and clouds gathered. Countless streams of Sword Intent flew from Bai Yi’s body, forming a storm of murderous Sword Intent that blotted out the entire sky.
"Hmph!"
The withered old man just snorted coldly and tapped his foot lightly on the ground.
In that moment, everything returned to calm. The infinite Sword Intent released from Bai Yi’s body abruptly dissipated.
The next moment, the withered old man’s figure was already behind Bai Yi. He gently pushed out a palm.
Bai Yi’s figure was sent flying.
BANG!
He smashed deep into a mountainside, leaving a clear human-shaped impression.
Clearly, Bai Yi was no match for the withered old man.
And just at that moment...
ROAR!
An ethereal dragon’s roar rang out, faint and indistinct, seemingly coming from somewhere within the mountains.
An ordinary person would likely have a hard time noticing such a faint sound.
But everyone present was an expert. How could they not have heard it?
The withered old man tilted his head to listen for a moment, then smiled meaningfully. "I’m not the only one who wants Shen Daoxing’s life. While you were busy tangling with me, who would have thought that someone else has already succeeded!"
"Not good!"
BOOM! Shattered rock exploded outward as Bai Yi shot out from the mountainside and rushed down the mountain.
The Martial Kingdom’s Emperor frowned, his expression changing, and also hurriedly flew down the mountain.
"Ancestor, what should we do?"
King Zhenwu came to the withered old man’s side.
"The Great Wu Dragon Vein cannot be allowed to fall into the hands of others. We’ll go take a look as well,"
the withered old man said indifferently.
Bai Yi and the Martial Kingdom’s Emperor transformed into two streaks of light, leaping down and streaking across the mountain ridge. They soon arrived at the rear mountain of the Ancestral Mausoleum.
At this moment, the crowd was still waiting in front of the cliff face for Shen Daoxing and the Ninth Princess to emerge.
"High Priest, did anything happen here just now?"
the Martial Kingdom’s Emperor asked hurriedly.
The High Priest in front of the cliff face shook his head, looking completely bewildered.
And at that moment...
"Aaaah..."
A series of miserable screams came from the portal on the cliff face.
’Not good! Shen Daoxing and the Ninth Princess are in danger!’
Bai Yi grew extremely anxious.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, realizing something major had happened.
Immediately, Bai Yi took the lead and charged toward the portal on the cliff face.
"Alas, non-Royal Family members are forbidden from entering the Ancestral Mausoleum!" the High Priest at the side hurriedly tried to block him.
But Bai Yi was in no mood to pay attention to such things.
"Get out of the way!"
He raised his hand, about to blast the High Priest aside with a palm strike.
At this moment...
"Aaaah..."
The miserable scream rang out again, and then a crimson, blood-soaked person was flung out of the portal on the cliff face.
Bai Yi’s heart leaped. He turned to look, only to freeze in place.
He saw Ren Changfeng, covered in blood, lying stiffly on the ground. His eyes were empty and lifeless, all signs of life gone. His arms had been completely torn off, leaving nothing but bare stumps.
???
"How is that Ren Changfeng, the Dean of the Celestial City Academy?"
Everyone looked on in confusion.
Then, Shen Daoxing walked out calmly, holding the Ninth Princess’s hand.
Not far away, two figures landed. King Zhenwu and the withered old man had also arrived at the rear mountain.
When King Zhenwu saw Ren Changfeng’s corpse, his expression faltered in shock, and he stared at Shen Daoxing in disbelief.
Bai Yi paused for a moment before he could react. Then, he let out a sigh of relief and said joyfully, "Brat, are you okay?"
Shen Daoxing looked at Bai Yi and smiled faintly. "A single Ren Changfeng isn’t enough to kill me!"
As soon as he said this, the entire scene erupted into chaos.
