227: Get the Diamond Chest

Before the flying axe arrived, the sharp Protective Aura scraped his cheeks, causing him pain.

Mu Feng's expression drastically changed.

He truly couldn't understand how he was discovered.

However, now was not the time to think about it.

The flying axe was simply too fast.

Moreover, it looked incredibly sharp, so Mu Feng didn't dare to summon a Magic Treasure to block it.

He immediately activated both his Cloud Stepping Boots and Blood Magic Robe simultaneously.

A blood-red glow covered his entire body.

With a forceful push, he narrowly scraped past the tip of the giant axe's blade.

"Boom!"

The giant stone axe struck the ground, tearing a large crack through a vast expanse of hard earth.

Terrifying shockwaves surged out in two directions like a vast ocean.

Being too close, Mu Feng didn't even have time to react before his body, like a leaf in the vast ocean, was directly thrown flying, heavily smashing onto a small hill a hundred meters away.

"Crack."

The small hill, impacted by the immense force, cracked inch by inch.

"Cough, cough."

Mu Feng only felt his Qi and blood churning within him, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of foul blood.

"What a powerful impact."

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

Mu Feng's face was filled with shock.

He was merely hit by the impact of the giant axe, and he was thrown flying.

If it had hit his body directly, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"Whoosh!"

Before he could fully get up, the giant flying axe surged towards him again.

This time, Mu Feng had time to react.

With a push of his body, he immediately transformed into a red light and flew backward.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, terrifying impact force once again swept towards him.

"Defend!"

With a thought, Mu Feng activated the Soul Yuan Bowl's defensive shield.

It easily blocked the incoming shockwave from this attack.

The flying axe was unstoppable, but the shockwaves it caused were still manageable.

Whoosh, whoosh!

After avoiding two more flying axe attacks, Mu Feng gradually gained an opportunity to strike.

Taking advantage of the opponent having just released the flying axe, Mu Feng dodged it, then squeezed his hand, and several red flying needles appeared in his grasp.

With a gentle flick, the flying needles immediately vanished into the mist.

When he reappeared, he was already in front of the Soul Beast King's eyes.

"Splat!"

The Soul Beast King gripped hard with its arm.

The Red Thread Escaping Light Needle, a Sharp Weapon he had always used to ambush others, was easily caught.

Before Mu Feng could retract it, the Soul Beast King's palm exerted more force.

With a crisp crack, the Red Thread Escaping Light Needle, an excellent Magical Artifact that had been with Mu Feng for a long time, was directly crushed by it.

"This is troublesome. It seems to be able to easily see through the mist."

Seeing the opponent so easily grab the Red Thread Escaping Light Needle's main body, Mu Feng's expression was grim.

He believed his attack was very covert.

Generally speaking, with the mist blocking, it should have been easy to succeed.

But it was broken through as soon as it got there.

There was only one possibility then: the opponent was not affected by the mist here.

[The System reminds you: Why do you think it has eight eyes?]

"Alright."

Seeing the System's prompt, Mu Feng confirmed the fact that the opponent could see through the thick mist.

It seemed that ambushing was impossible for him.

Fortunately, although the Red Thread Escaping Light Needle's ambush failed, it did interrupt the opponent's flying axe offensive rhythm.

This gave Mu Feng a moment to catch his breath.

With a flick of his palm, hundreds of dark green Flying Swords immediately charged forward.

Clang, clang, clang!

The Soul Beast King blew with its mouth, and all the dark green Flying Swords, as if encountering their nemesis, fell one after another.

Although Mu Feng didn't expect the dark green Flying Swords to injure the enemy, he was slightly surprised to see them so easily broken by the Soul Beast King.

He understood that ordinary methods could no longer fight this Soul Beast King.

He formed a hand seal, and a blood-red Dragon phantom, dozens of meters tall, appeared behind him.

"Condense!"

Mu Feng changed his hand seals, and the phantom above his head immediately drilled into his body.

As the giant Dragon entered his body, Mu Feng's body immediately emitted rolling blood-red smoke.

In a short while, Mu Feng transformed from a human Cultivator into a red Dragon with a single horn on its head, a long tail, and dense red scales covering its body.

As soon as Mu Feng transformed, the Soul Beast King's attack struck again.

This time, the opponent released a sky full of gray light.

If he hadn't transformed, facing such a saturated attack, Mu Feng could only have summoned his Soul Yuan Bowl and Moon Yang Treasure Pearl to forcefully resist.

But now he had various methods to easily avoid it, so he naturally wouldn't foolishly take it head-on.

He activated his Blood Magic Robe, and his entire being immediately vanished into the mist.

With the diamond treasure chest's light as a reference, Mu Feng easily located the Soul Beast King.

When he reappeared, he was already on its face.

"Take this punch!"

Mu Feng clenched his fist and fiercely smashed it towards the Soul Beast King's face.

"Boom!"

Mu Feng was too fast.

The Soul Beast King was sent flying by his heavy punch before it could even react.

"Roar!"

This punch was not only powerful but also extremely insulting.

The Soul Beast King was directly enraged.

It gripped its two giant axes and chopped at Mu Feng.

The giant axes were fast, but Mu Feng was even faster.

With a flash of his body, he vanished into the mist, easily avoiding the giant axe's attack.

At the same time, he continuously threw punches, toying with the Soul Beast King.

Watching Mu Feng fly around its face like a fly, the Soul Beast King was both anxious and furious!

After a furious roar, its body once again grew several meters taller.

As its size increased, the Soul Beast King did not become clumsy; instead, it became even more agile.

The axes in its hands were wielded with powerful, whistling movements.

This move was precisely its skill: Cloak Dance!

Mu Feng, who was still toying with it, immediately flashed away and disengaged when he saw the opponent getting serious.

The Soul Beast King naturally wouldn't let him leave just like that.

Its eight eyes simultaneously locked onto Mu Feng's body.

The axes in its hands, like cruise missiles, fiercely attacked the direction he was fleeing.

Boom, boom, boom!

Wherever Mu Feng passed, flames would surely erupt behind him.

The axes were very fast, no slower than Mu Feng's speed.

Several times they flew past Mu Feng's body by a hair's breadth, truly scaring him.

"This is troublesome."

Previously, because the Transforming Dragon Divine Power wasn't used for long, he always thought that Dragon Transformation had no time limit.

Now, entangled with the Soul Beast King, he realized that prolonged use of Dragon Transformation would consume his magic power.

He had just checked his internal state and found that half of his magic power was gone, even though he hadn't done anything.

There had been similar situations before, but he attributed them to using Magic Treasures.

It wasn't until just now, when he fought without summoning any Magic Treasures, that he realized the Transforming Dragon Divine Power consumed a large amount of magic power.

"I can't play around anymore."

He took out a hui ling pill from his Storage Ring and swallowed it.

Mu Feng immediately turned around and flew towards the Soul Beast King.

Behind him, the flying axes were still continuously bombarding him.

Mu Feng dodged while quickly flashing back towards the light.

"Roar!"

Seeing that Mu Feng dared to come back, the Soul Beast King let out a furious roar, and its eight eyes began to emit a strange light.

"Soul-Snatching Eye!"

"I'll risk it!"

Mu Feng naturally knew what this move of the opponent was.

However, with flying axes attacking him from behind, he couldn't retreat at all.

He gritted his teeth and directly charged forward.

Seeing that Mu Feng actually ignored its Soul-Snatching Eye attack, the Soul Beast King revealed a triumphant smile.

However, in the next second, its smile froze.

Its Soul-Snatching Eye had no effect when they hit Mu Feng's body.

Instead, because its eyes emitted the skill, it could no longer lock onto Mu Feng's body.

When it saw him again, Mu Feng was already in front of it.

The Soul Beast King was startled.

It subconsciously swung its axe.

However, Mu Feng's target was not it at all!

It was the sparkling diamond treasure chest on the ground!

Knowing that he couldn't defeat the Soul Beast King in a short time, Mu Feng immediately changed his strategy.

That's right. He didn't need to fight fiercely with the opponent at all.

He just needed to take the diamond treasure chest.

Relying on his speed, Mu Feng felt the strategy was feasible.

Thus, the scene of him turning back just now occurred.

Although it was somewhat dangerous, especially when the Soul-Snatching Eye hit his body, Mu Feng still felt a little nervous.

Fortunately, his Divine Soul was strong enough.

The Soul-Snatching Eye were resisted by his Divine Soul the moment they entered his body, without affecting his speed in the slightest.

Instead, he took advantage of the opponent using Soul-Snatching Eye, unable to lock onto his body, and directly pulled the rug out from under it.

He took away the diamond treasure chest it was guarding right under the Soul Beast King's nose.

The moment the treasure chest was in his hands, Mu Feng immediately fled without a care.

This enraged the Soul Beast King.

Its eight eyes once again locked onto Mu Feng, and the flying axes in its hands spun.

However, just as it was about to throw the flying axes to block Mu Feng's path, a black cover suddenly rose from above Mu Feng's head.

Immediately after, the Soul Beast King felt its mind go blank.

Although it quickly woke up again, the axes that it had originally intended to throw were thrown to an unknown place because of this pause.

"I'm gone, I'm gone!"

Using the Soul Yuan Bowl's Divine Soul attack to interrupt the opponent's spellcasting, Mu Feng immediately went all out, activating all Magical Artifacts and Magic Treasures on his body that could increase speed.

He performed a disappearing act right in front of the Soul Beast King!

By the time the Soul Beast King recovered from the Soul Yuan Bowl's attack, Mu Feng had already vanished into the mist.

"Roar, roar, roar!!!"

It was the first time the Soul Beast King had suffered such immense humiliation.

After several furious roars, the Soul Beasts in the mist began to gather towards its location, starting to search for Mu Feng's figure.

Soon, a Soul Beast reported back that it had discovered a suspicious light.

The Soul Beast King pushed off with its two legs and immediately charged towards Mu Feng.

"Disassemble the treasure chest!"

Mu Feng, who had originally intended to keep the diamond treasure chest, saw that he was discovered so quickly.

He knew it must be because of the light.

He scooped out all the items in the treasure chest and, without time to examine them, put them all into his Storage Ring.

After doing so, he immediately disassembled the diamond treasure chest in his hand.

[System Notification: diamond treasure chest disassembled successfully]

[System Notification: Diamond x5]

Upon successful disassembly, Mu Feng had five sparkling, hard Diamonds in his hand.

As before, Mu Feng directly put them into his Storage Ring.

Without the diamond treasure chest's glow, Mu Feng's figure once again disappeared.

This infuriated the Soul Beast King behind him.

Various flying axes attacked indiscriminately.

"Roar, roar, roar!"

While venting its anger, it commanded the Soul Beasts in the mist to surround Mu Feng in front of him.

His current target was still very obvious: rolling red smoke.

Soon, several Advanced Soul Beasts discovered Mu Feng's tracks and immediately surrounded him.

"Get lost!"

Mu Feng's gaze turned cold.

His Black Emperor Blade directly left his body and slashed at the necks of the several Advanced Soul Beasts.

After Dragon Transformation, his Divine Abilities had greatly increased.

He easily dealt with the three Soul Beasts that wanted to surround him.

Before leaving, Mu Feng didn't forget to grab something casually.

Three black soul stones landed in his hand.

"Roar!"

Just this delay allowed the Soul Beast King behind him to catch up a bit more.

"No, I can't keep going like this, or I'll be caught sooner or later!"

He didn't have much magic power left on him to begin with.

After using the Black Emperor Blade to kill the three Advanced Soul Beasts just now, it was directly at rock bottom.

Mu Feng put all the remaining hui ling pills into his mouth while thinking of a way to escape.

"My Transforming Dragon Divine Power consumes too much magic power, and the red light on me is an obvious target."

"I can only risk it!"

He glanced at the red light emanating from his body.

Mu Feng gritted his teeth and directly canceled the Transforming Dragon Divine Power.

There was no other way. Dragon Transformation was too obvious.

Without the Transforming Dragon Divine Power, Mu Feng's speed immediately dropped significantly.

However, he didn't intend to run anymore.

He pulled out the Gecko Skin he had used before, and it reappeared in his hand.

With a gentle drape over his head, Mu Feng's figure immediately vanished into the mist.

"I hope I'm not discovered this time."

Mu Feng prayed in his heart.

He wasn't quite sure how he was exposed last time, but he had to take this risk.

Anyway, he just needed to try his best to avoid the Soul Beast King's pursuit.

Ordinary Soul Beasts couldn't discover him.

After putting on the Gecko Skin, Mu Feng immediately found a withered tree to hide behind.

He completely restrained the Spiritual Qi on his body.

At the same time, to be safe, he also put on the Concealment Talisman, which he hadn't used in a long time.

The Concealment Talisman could completely block Spiritual Qi leakage, hiding his figure.

It was best used in conjunction with the spirit concealing poison wall's skin.

In fact, he suspected that his previous discovery was because he accidentally activated his Spiritual Eye Divine Power while probing the opponent's information, leading to Spiritual Qi leakage.

The spirit concealing poison wall's skin couldn't be used with any Spiritual Qi during the invisibility process.

Of course, this was just his suspicion.

Everything was uncertain.

Perhaps this Soul Beast King had a Divine Ability for detection that he didn't know about.

Having many eyes always had its reasons.

"Roar!"

Just after Mu Feng had restrained his breath and hidden himself, the Soul Beast King arrived at the place where he had just disappeared.

Upon realizing that Mu Feng's tracks were completely lost, it, filled with immense anger, vented its fury onto the ground.

Its flying axes bombarded everywhere, causing the earth to shake.

Many Soul Beasts perished as a result.

Mu Feng wasn't faring much better.

He wasn't far from the Soul Beast King's position.

Several times, the opponent's flying axes struck not far from him.

The withered tree he was hiding behind had already shattered under the impact of the flying axe's energy.

Although Mu Feng was also affected, he dared not release any magic power to block it.

He could only silently endure it.
