Chương 331: Crimson Chen

"You two, hand over crimson Chen's head and we'll let you go! We don't want to harm you out of respect for the supreme heaven sect behind you." One of the three peak Imperials of the Cao clan uttered in a casual yet threatening tone. Zhou Kui immediately snorted.

"You already know that we are disciples of the supreme heaven sect and you dare to threaten us?! If you know what is good for you, you will scram immediately!" He replied coldly. He could tell that these peak Imperials were comparable to inner disciples of the Sect in their clan. Their cultivation was the same but the duo were outnumbered. They would definitely lose horribly if they fought against these four peak Imperials and five rank eight Imperial realm youths. Zhou Kui could only try to use a different method.

The Cao clan members began to laugh at Zhou Kui's words as though they just heard a funny story.

"Hahahaha! Are you stupid? Hehe, we all know that the supreme heaven sect wouldn't give a fuck if a few outer peak disciples were to go missing. If you are smart, you will get lost and run back to your Sect. Or what part of your foolish brain told you that you can resist us?" Zhou Kui's words stuck in his throat and his face turned red with fury. Yun Fei took a step forward and glared at the Cao clan members.

"All you know is to bully others with superior numbers. You're all inner members of your clan. Forget our inner peak disciples. Do you dare to act so disrespectfully before even the top ten disciples of our outer peak?" No one laughed this time. Instead, their expressions all turned grave.

"Indeed. We won't ever do that even if we had a hundred times more guts. Hell, we would flee in the opposite direction of even Unfortunately, you are not an Inner peak disciple, nor are you a top ten outer peak disciple. I will ask you one last time. Are you going to hand it over and scram or not?" Zhou Kui and Yun Fei's expressions turned extremely ugly as they glanced at each other. The odds were currently against them. Fighting right now would be a foolish decision that could even lead to their deaths.

It wasn't weakness to know when to surrender if the odds were against one, so Zhou Kui reigned in his anger and threw the cold head of crimson Chen at the Cao clan's disciples.

"I will remember all of you. I hope you can all act with the same arrogance the next time we meet." Zhou Kui snorted and retreated. Yun Fei also retreated as well, but they didn't leave. They stood at the edges of the battlefield and paid attention to the Cao clan's members, planning to take advantage if any opportunity rose. By now, no one even remembered that Long Feng existed, and Long Feng himself didn't care. He patiently watched everything that happened with the same thin smile hanging on his lips.

By now, he could more or less tell exactly what was going on with the help of his Immortal's Sight. In the battlefield below, the last members of the iron blood gang finally fell to the combined power of the Ren and Hong clans. The land was drenched in blood and covered in dozens of corpses, and every single one of the iron blood gang was dead. The Ren and Hong clan members began to cheer loudly as their taunt nerves relaxed. Everything had gone far too easily, much more than they had expected.

The threat of the iron blood gang was finally dealt with and crimson Chen was also dead! As they celebrated their victory, Long Feng's sharp gaze was focused on Ren Hua, the clan chief of the Ren clan.

"Right about now…" the thin smile on his lips widened into a full smile. Ren Hua was floating behind the eight Cao clan members and watch them collect the heads of crimson Chen and his rank eight Imperial realm brother with some excitement. A glint flashed through his eyes as his teeth were revealed in a ferocious smile. Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.

He slowly lifted his arm with his palm positioned at one of the peak Imperial realm youth's back and he suddenly slammed his palm into the youth's unprotected back. A startling explosion caused all cheering to stop and everyone looked up in shock. Following the explosion was a great wave of energy that shocked even Zhou Kui, Yun Fei and Long Feng who were some distance away.

The Cao clan's members were blasted away by the energy before they could realize what was going on and they all coughed up blood, even the peak Imperials among them. As for the peak Imperial who was attacked specifically, he wasn't even able to scream before his body abruptly burst apart into blood and gore that rained down from the sky. A peak Imperial, killed with a single palm! Even if it was a sneak attack, not even another peak Imperial could achieve the same thing.

The most they could do was severely injured their opponent.

"Hahahahah! Fools! You think it was so easy to kill me?" Ren Hua roared with mad laughter as he floated in the center of the blood mist caused by the peak Imperial's death. Even Long Feng who has already seen through the plot couldn't help but gasp. A peak Imperial killed with a single palm! And judging from Ren Hua's aura, he was still a peak Imperial! It was not right to call him Ren Hua any longer. Instead, judging from Crimson Chen's aura, he really was a peak Imperial!

'Ren Hua's face began to warp and slowly turned to a different face of a middle aged man with savage features. His crooked teeth were visible as he laughed and an ugly scar that crossed his face made his face look absolutely horrifying.

"What the hell?!" Zhou Kui and Yun Fei were stunned for a few seconds before they realized what was going on. The Cao clan's members also rapidly reorganized themselves as they stared at crimson Chen and began to realize the plot.

"Brother! Y-you… how dare you kill my brother! Crimson Chen, I will kill you!" One of the remaining Cao clan's peak Imperial shouted in a shockingly frightening voice and charged at him with his aura flaring.

"That's the real crimson Chen! Kill him!" The other peak Imperial shouted and attacked as well. The five rank eight Imperials didn't hesitate to unleash their auras and join the fray. Two peak Imperials and five rank eight Imperials… that was still enough to kill normal peak Imperials easily. But it needn't be mentioned that crimson Chen was anything but normal. His aura exploded from his body and a shocking murderous aura covered him.

"Kill your brother? Heh. You killed mine. And I will bury you all with him!" He grinned ferociously and charged straight at them. Their exchange of blows released frightening waves of energy that terrified everyone below. Zhou Kui and Yun Fei watched the battle with extremely solemn expressions.

"Should we join in?" Yun Fei asked. Zhou Kui narrowed his eyes.

"Let's watch for a while first. It won't be too late to decide which side we're taking." But as time passed, their expressions grew extremely grim.

"He's so strong! He completely suppressed them all!" Yun Fei exclaimed in a weak voice. Zhou Kui's eyebrows twitched as he watched crimson Chen completely hold the advantage in the fight.

"We can't watch any longer. They will lose very soon and we'll be his next targets. Kill him first and we can discuss everything else!" He exclaimed after watching the fight. His heart was beating erratically as he mocked himself for thinking the fight was over earlier. The rumors regarding crimson Chen couldn't be exaggerated with the strength he was revealing right now. He had completely surpassed the normal limits of the Imperial realm. All he needed was a push to become a deity.

Yun Fei and Zhou Kui didn't hesitate any longer. They flew over and joined the fight. Their help barely stabilized the situation and enabled them to force a hard draw against crimson Chen. Even then, he still held a faint upper hand against them. His murdering aura could even meld into his attacks and become a soul attack that targeted the will of the opponents. Most importantly, his Imperial energy was extremely dense and possessed an extreme quality of blood.

It was very similar to Bai Lixi's radiant flame imperial energy, but crimson Chen's own was much stronger. He obviously cultivated a special blood related cultivation manual that greatly boosted his strength to this extent. Long Feng watched the fight with a serious expression. When Zhou Kui and Yun Fei joined in and stabilized the situation, his expression lightened up a little bit.

"All I need is for both parties to end up severely injured." He murmured with a calm expression. Zhou Kui was surrounded by a powerful rudimentary spear Intent and thunder Imperial energy while Yun Fei was surrounded by agile wind imperial energy. Combined with the Cao clan's members, they exerted themselves and began to push crimson Chen back slowly. Both parties slowly gathered several injuries and some injuries even impacted the vital organs.

Crimson Chen had a hole on his chest that barely missed his heart and several light or severe wounds on different parts of his body. As for his opponents, they were in worse states. Two of the five rank eight Imperials were dead and the others, including the peak Imperials were all severely injured.

"This won't work! We need to use our trump cards!" One of the two peak Imperials of the Cao clan shrieked after barely blocking a powerful punch.

"That's right. We need to force him to leave otherwise we'll all die here one by one!" Zhou Kui shouted in reply.

"Give it all we've got together! Now!" Zhou Kui's rudimentary spear Intent fluctuated unstably and temporarily became as strong as a true minor spear Intent. His terrifying spear energy mixed with his lightning Imperial energy and a chaotic ball of lightning formed at the tip of his spear and zoomed towards crimson Chen. Yun Fei gathered his rudimentary wind intent and formed dozens of blurry wind blades that could pierce holes through a normal peak Imperial and even stall a weak deity.

The Cao clan members also revealed extremely powerful means that could cause even a deity to pause. The different attacks landed on crimson Chen at the same time and a frightening explosion filled the air. Crimson Chen's figure was consumed by the chaotic energy and his state was unknown. But from the intensity of this combined attack, it was unlikely that even he would survive without being on his last breath. Everyone held their breaths and waited for the energy to fade.

A few breaths passed and a strange tension filled the air. All of a sudden, the chaotic energy exploded outwards without warning, pushing the youths backwards. A powerful aura surged into the sky from the center of the explosion and a pillar of energy seemed to connect the clouds and the earth. A unique aura that transcended the Imperial realm began to seep out of the pillar of energy and crimson Chen's figure could faintly be seen through the pillar. Long Feng's breathing slowed as his pupils dilated instantly.

"This… breaking through to the deity realm?!" The unique aura crimson Chen was currently emanating was undoubtedly the aura of the deity realm! Zhou Kui, Yun Fei and the Cao clan's disciples were all filled with shock and terror as they watched crimson Chen's breakthrough. No one had accounted for this situation at all. Breaking into the deity realm wasn't a joke; most people would prepare for months and go into seclusion to make their breakthrough to avoid even the slightest chance of something going wrong.

But crimson Chen was recklessly making his breakthrough right now! Everyone was aware that if a deity was brought into this already unstable situation, everything would simply fall apart. No one would be able to resist the deity at all. The most a few of them could do was to flee. That was just how all powerful and terrifying deities were. And one such deity was being birthed right before their helpless gazes.
