171: Chapter 171 My dear father! Even the Central Plains prodigy can be crushed with a single punch!
The man was dressed in a black-and-white yin-yang dharma robe, his hands clasped behind his back, his robes fluttering in the wind.
A look of arrogance that looked down upon all living beings was etched between his brows.
The woman wore a long purple dress, her figure extremely enchanting.
They were none other than Cao Kun and Yu Linglong, who had come to act on behalf of the heavens.
Chu Feng's good mood was interrupted, and he felt displeased.
However, he did not lash out immediately.
Having survived in a place like the Central Province where monsters were as common as clouds, he possessed the most basic level of discernment.
For the kid before him to dare to be so arrogant, his background was definitely not simple.
Could he be a direct descendant from some Immortal Family in the Central Province out on a trial?
Chu Feng secretly gathered his spiritual power.
Looking at Cao Kun standing atop the flying boat, he asked in a low, testing voice:
“Who is Your Excellency? Which Great Province do you hail from? What power stands behind you?”
“I'm your daddy!”
As soon as the words fell, Cao Kun didn't give Chu Feng any time to react and attacked directly.
Although Chu Feng was at the Soul Transformation Peak Realm,
He was used to lording it over others using the name of a great Central Province power.
He had never seen such a brute who wouldn't even exchange pleasantries and would start fighting at the slightest provocation.
He didn't even have time to sacrifice any Magic Treasures.
Relying purely on instinct, he crossed his arms tightly in front of his chest, attempting to tank the blow.
“Bang!”
Cao Kun's fist slammed solidly into Chu Feng's arm guards.
“Crack!”
The bones in Chu Feng's arms snapped instantly.
The fist's momentum didn't slow as it left a heavy imprint on his face.
“Ah!”
Chu Feng let out a shrill scream, flying backward over a hundred zhang before crashing into a mud pit.
“Young Lord!”
The change happened too quickly.
It wasn't until Chu Feng was sent flying by a single punch that the Void Refinement Stage followers he brought with him snapped out of it.
“Audacious scoundrel! How dare you harm our Young Lord!”
The four Void Refinement Middle Stage followers were furious.
Four powerful Spiritual Pressures soared into the sky, dispersing the clouds in mid-air.
The pressure nearly caused the old men from Xuan Province below to faint on the spot.
A blade, a sword, a bronze seal, and a long rope—four high-grade Lifebound Treasures were sacrificed simultaneously.
They pounced toward Cao Kun from four directions.
They sealed off all his paths of retreat.
“Paradise Desire Realm.”
A halo of interwoven dark gold and pink erupted outward with Cao Kun as the center.
The four aggressive Void Refinement Middle Stage followers suddenly felt the spiritual power within their bodies become incredibly sluggish.
Their originally imposing killing moves instantly collapsed.
Pink mist snaked into their bodies through their seven orifices.
Their consciousness was forcibly dragged into an illusory Realm of paradise.
The four men's bodies lost all control, freezing in mid-air.
One of the burly men holding a large blade simply dropped his weapon.
He began tearing at his own clothes with a foolish grin.
“Beauty... hehe... don't run...”
Cao Kun didn't give them a chance to continue their performance.
With a flick of his wrist,
The chaos remnant sword appeared in his hand out of thin air.
Before the sword light could rise, the killing intent had already arrived.
Cao Kun strolled leisurely among the four followers trapped in the illusion.
He swung the chaos divine sword a few times casually.
Four pitch-black Sword Qi sliced through the Void Realm.
They easily cut through the protective spiritual light of the four followers.
“Spurt! Spurt! Spurt! Spurt!”
Four pillars of blood shot into the sky.
Instant kill!
Four Void Refinement Middle Stage experts became a pile of corpses without even touching the corner of Cao Kun's clothes.
The Elders of the local Xuan Province Sects who had been kneeling on the ground below,
Watched the young man in the air holding a black sword like a god of slaughter descended to earth, their minds going blank.
Those were Central Province powerhouses at the Void Refinement Stage!
In their Xuan Province, any one of them was a terrifying existence that could sweep across an entire province.
And they were just insta-killed with a single sword strike?
In the distant mud pit, Chu Feng struggled to crawl out.
He clutched his collapsed cheek, preparing to shout some harsh words.
But as he looked up, he happened to see the scene of his four followers' heads hitting the ground.
Chu Feng's body shuddered.
Immediately after,
The highest-level wanted poster issued by the Taichu Holy Land to the Three Thousand Dao Provinces surfaced clearly in his mind.
Although the artist had drawn the person to look like a brain-dead idiot,
That black-and-white Daoist robe, that pitch-black broken sword,
And that terrifying method of insta-killing Void Refinement Stage cultivators while ignoring the gap in cultivation Realms...
Every characteristic matched perfectly; there was absolutely no mistake!
This person was the mysterious individual who had recently been the talk of the town for escaping from the Holy Lord's hands!
The pride and dignity of a Central Province Prodigy vanished in the face of the fear of death.
Chu Feng's legs went weak, and he fell to his knees with a thud, wailing:
“Fellow—Fellow Daoist! This Fellow Daoist! Let's talk this out!”
“We have no grievances or enmity; why must you strike with such lethal intent!”
Not far away.
The Elders of the local Xuan Province Sects who had been beaten by Chu Feng saw this scene and were moved to tears.
“Our benefactor!”
“This Young Master is truly a good man who acts on behalf of justice!”
“The heavens have eyes; our Xuan Province is saved!”
The old men supported each other as they stood up, looking at Cao Kun's back with eyes full of gratitude.
In their eyes, Cao Kun was currently radiating a holy light.
He was a Saint specifically sent by the Heavenly Dao to save them from their misery!
Cao Kun didn't pay any attention to those old men at all, walking slowly toward Chu Feng.
He tapped Chu Feng's deformed face with the chaos divine sword.
“Bullshit!”
Cao Kun shouted with righteous indignation:
“What do you mean by no grievances or enmity? You've been bullying others in this Xuan Province, forcibly extracting the Spiritual Veins of the major Sects and severing their Legacy Foundations. You're simply devoid of conscience!”
“What I'm doing is called acting on behalf of the heavens!”
Every word of Cao Kun's was powerful and resonant, echoing across the open plains.
Yu Linglong cooperated perfectly, chiming in from the side:
“That's right~ Master is the most kind-hearted and can't stand to see people suffer. A scum of the cultivation world like you deserves to be cut into a thousand pieces~”
The old men of Xuan Province felt their blood boiling as they listened.
They all nodded in agreement.
“To prevent you from continuing to do evil and harming the cultivation world,”
“Today, I must confiscate your tools of the trade and all your ill-gotten gains!”
Chu Feng was stunned.
Looking at Cao Kun's face full of righteous integrity, he didn't react at first.
But having survived for years in a place like the Central Province where people were eaten alive, he quickly picked up on the underlying meaning.
Tools of the trade? Ill-gotten gains?
How on earth did he manage to make robbery sound so refined and unconventional!
Chu Feng was a smart man, and a smart man's greatest virtue was knowing how to adapt to the situation.
Without any hesitation,
He took off the five or six Storage Rings from his fingers and held them high with both hands, offering them to Cao Kun.
“Fellow Daoist is absolutely right!”
“My sins are heavy! I deserve to die!”
After saying that, Chu Feng pointed to the mountain-like pile of Spiritual Veins, Spiritual Plants, jade boxes, and various Heaven And Earth Treasures next to the flying boat.
With a serious face, he said:
“These are all ill-gotten gains! They should rightfully be kept by you, Fellow Daoist!”
“Also, these dozens of high-grade flying boats are also stolen goods. I offer them all to you!”
“I only ask that you be merciful and give this lost lamb a chance to turn over a new leaf!”
