Still Combat-Ready

"Don’t be in a hurry to decline. Staying here is the best choice for Chu Feng. Which place can have a greater number of collections and secret volumes of successive generations than the secret library of the government?"

The Hollow Jade Temple Master’s expression was serious as he persuaded black yak and the others. According to him, there were certain legendary volumes of great origins within the vast sea of books.

Now, relevant personnel were reading through them and doing their best to find a method to remove the black substance from Chu Feng’s body.

Although black yak and the others were somewhat tempted, they believed Yellow Ox more. They felt Yellow Ox, who had come from a powerful world, was more reliable than their national depository.

The black yak didn’t want to get into a deadlock with him and said, "You can continue researching the scrolls and inform us when you find a solution. We can’t thank you enough. Meanwhile, we’ll bring Chu Feng to Kunlun to recuperate. There are some ancient methods there for him to try."

The Hollow Jade Temple Master shook his head. "I’m against Chu Feng leaving because there’s another reason. Just a while ago, I received secret news that although the ocean was sealed in ice, there was no peace in its depths. A great conflict had broken out therein, causing some unwilling experts had come ashore."

"What do you mean?" The Manchurian Tiger was alarmed.

The Hollow Jade Temple Master actively informed. "Rumor has it that some marine race experts had come north and plan to target Chu Feng. Last time, he killed an expert marine race leader, the Octopus King and nearly slaughtered the Sea God Tiger. Chu Feng cutting off the latter’s tail incited much hate. Some people want to kill Chu Feng especially since they heard something is wrong with his body. They want to take this opportunity to attack him."

"All the more reason we can’t linger in Shuntian. This land of conflict is too dangerous. We should leave right away and head to Mount Kunlun!" the black yak said as he waved his hand.

"That’s incorrect. You’ll be playing into their hands if you travel with Chu Feng. They will definitely ambush you on the road since they already know where you will be heading," said the Hollow Jade Temple Master.

The black yak, the Manchurian Tiger, and the others wore ugly expressions because they had been ambushed before on their way here. The combined attack of the Carp Spirit of Yellow River and a Walrus King almost killed them.

The Hollow Jade Temple master pointed at the four directions, "I just ordered people to ship sufficient weaponry here. If the beast race attacks, they’ll lose a layer of skin even if they don’t die."

The next moment, numerous laser weapons suddenly emerged from certain areas of the Hollow Jade Temple and vaguely aimed at the black yak’s group to threaten them.

"Don’t aim indiscriminately or I’ll take it for real!" the black yak said coldly to warn those people.

"You’re not allowed to be rude!" the Hollow Jade Temple Master rebuked.

Following which, he struck the stiff and motionless Yuan Hong away with a wave of his hand and ordered, "Bring him away and lock him in the dungeon for a month."

"Uncle, I was wrong. Please don’t be like this!" Yuan Hong screamed miserably but was dragged away in the end.

"Wrong-doers will pay the price," the Hollow Jade Temple Master said in a deep voice. He then turned towards Chu Feng and apologized, asking Chu Feng not to take offense.

"Temple Master Yuan, I think it’s still better that we leave," the Manchurian Tiger and the Donkey King spoke in succession. They still felt ill at ease here.

"Shuntian is a complete mess and isn’t suitable for recuperation. I think it’s better I bring my brother away!" the black yak spoke again because he felt that Chu Feng would be under house arrest if he stayed here.

The Hollow Jade Temple Master said resolutely, "I won’t allow it. Chu Feng is someone from the Hollow Jade Temple with great contributions. Now that he has encountered difficulties, we won’t abandon or ignore him. We can let it be if you’re capable of protecting him but it’s quite possible that you’ll be attacked and killed. I won’t allow you to bring him away under such great risks."

The black yak felt as if he was about to start fuming. Why couldn’t he let them bring Chu Feng away? Everything was the Hollow Jade Temple Master’s guess. Furthermore, the black yak had a feeling that Chu Feng was being trapped here with no freedom to speak of.

This was especially true of the last shocking incident. They were actually forcing Chu Feng to hand over his fist arts, breathing techniques, and even his diamond chakram. This caused everyone to feel quite disappointed. Should one remain in such a place? Obviously not!

"We must leave!" The black yak’s temper was rising. Grasping the Buddhist staff, he was fearless even though he knew the Hollow Jade Temple Master was powerful. If worse came to worst, he would blast the whole place into pieces.

"Brother Ox, you’re too stubborn. Even if you don’t think about yourself, you should think about Chu Feng because the road is simply too dangerous. We’ll all be heartbroken if something happens to him along the way." The Hollow Jade Temple Master said in a deep voice.

Chu Feng who had been observing from the side finally spoke. "Temple Master, did you all ask for my opinion?"

The Hollow Jade Temple Master glanced at him and replied, "Chu Feng, don’t let your emotions affect you.You must believe that staying here will give you the greatest chance at recovery and returning to being an apex expert. You’re still young. You should be patient. The collection within the secret national library is bigger than you can imagine. There certainly will be a way to solve this problem."

"No need. I’ve made up my mind about leaving the Hollow Jade Temple. Hereafter, I’ll become a free man after leaving this mutant organization. I’m too tired and wish to rest."

The Hollow Jade Temple Master frowned. A certain ferocity appeared in his eyes as stared fixedly at Chu Feng. In the end, he let out a soft sigh.

"Brother Chu Feng, please stay. The Temple Master treats you sincerely and wishes for your recovery. No other place possesses as many ancient techniques."

Many others persuaded him to stay.

However, Chu Feng remained unmoved and was determined to leave.

At this time, the one-armed Eight Visions Temple Master also arrived and was gazing at Chu Feng.

The black yak, the Manchurian Tiger, and the others became vigilant. They had to be absolutely prepared since they were facing two peerless experts. If things turned violent, the results would be serious.

Finally, the Hollow Jade Temple Master sighed and said to Chu Feng, "Since you’re determined to leave, do take care!"

The black yak, the Manchurian Tiger, and the others glanced at each other. They were somewhat surprised because they hadn’t expected the Hollow Jade Temple Master to yield in the end. This allowed them to breathe a sigh of relief.

Chu Feng cupped his fists toward everyone at the Hollow Jade Temple before turning around to leave, braving the wind and snow.

Before leaving, the Manchurian Tiger halted his step and turned around, "Oh right, is there anyone who has borrowed my brother’s weapon and hasn’t returned it? Take this opportunity to hand it over. I don’t believe my brother will be crippled just like that. Hurry up, don’t be greedy!"

In the distance, Zhou Kun was feeling somewhat awkward. He was standing within the crowd, behind the Eight Visions Temple Master. At this time, he braced himself and walked out to deliver the scarlet flying knife with both hands.

Many people moved unnaturally—this kind of weapon that could be controlled by spirit power was simply too rare and precious.

The Manchurian Tiger wasn’t modest at all. He snatched it and immediately rushed after Chu Feng’s group.

"Let’s go!"

The Golden Condor King transformed into his true form after arriving at an open space outside of the Hollow Jade Temple. He then shot into the air against the wind and snow after Chu Feng and the others climbed onto his back.

With that, they left Shuntian to travel afar!

The heavy wind and snow forced the Golden Condor King to fly at a much slower speed than usual. The earth and sky were hazy under the endless snowstorm.

Only an hour had passed and the Golden Condor King had only covered few thousand kilometers when an unforeseen event took place on their journey. Several beams of light intersected and shot towards them.

"Goddammit, laser weapons! This is a human weapon. Do they plan to kill us?!"

However, with their powerful divine instincts, they were able to sense the incoming danger. The Golden Condor King had long since moved to evade.

"We’ll be fine. Those weapons can’t do much damage in such horrible weather," said the black yak.

Chu Feng didn’t say anything. He only frowned as he stared at the front then towards the surrounding.

"This shouldn’t be a human attack, right? This attack is way too obvious and will incur the wrath of both gods and humans. One has to know what Chu Feng is right here."

"Trouble incoming!" The Manchurian Tiger’s hair stood on end. He was an expert with six severed shackles and had become especially powerful after he obtained a breathing technique. His divine sense was extremely sharp.

The black yak swore, "Damned marine race! There really are marine race experts coming to kill us. It seems the Hollow Jade Temple Master wasn’t wrong. Everything is going according to his script."

A bronze tiger was flapping his wings and charging towards them. He shone with a cold luster and seemed as if he was refined from metal.

"Your human race weapons are so lousy. It feels better to kill on my own!" the Bronze Tiger roared.

He was hovering in the air and emanating a terrifying aura. His strength was exceptionally powerful as he stared fixedly at Chu Feng like a tiger stalking its prey.

"What’s your relationship with the marine race?" Chu Feng enquired.

"Not every sea tiger can be called a Sea God Tiger. What do you think my relationship with them is?" the Bronze Tiger replied coldly, he was feeling uncomfortable.

His attitude turned cold because his bloodline wasn’t as noble and powerful as the Sea God Tiger’s.

In the distance, a certain strange fish with razor sharp teeth was seen flapping its wings and soaring in the air. It was glaring coldly at Chu Feng’s group.

"I heard you’ve been crippled so now it’s a good time to take you away. Follow us to the ocean as a prisoner!" the strange fish said.

The third and final expert possessed a human body and a pair of wings. this was a marine human.

Although there were very few humans beneath the sea, they had been separated into a number of small branches. For instance, the three-eyed expert Qian Yue and the madman Luo Tian who had attacked the azure calabash in hopes of taking away the bronze lamp came from different branches.

"Do you want to come obediently or should I personally come to capture you?!" this marine human said arrogantly with a cold expression.

His appearance was similar to a human but possessed gills and a pair of wings. The rest of the body was similar to a human.

"Dive!"

The black yak whispered. They couldn’t keep flying because they weren’t proficient in aerial combat.

The Golden Condor King dived down amidst a flurry of wind and snow.

The three marine race experts followed suit and landed on the ground.

Boom!

The next moment, the black yak immediately launched an attack. He erupted with Buddhist lights and vast power, hoping to strike down the three marine race expert.

However, they laughed coldly and retreated immediately to hide at a safe distance.

"We’ve already learned about you before we came here. How many times can you activate that Buddhist staff? We just have to retreat temporarily. All of you will be eliminated today!" The marine human laughed coldly.

"Apart from Chu Feng, all of you will die!" The strange fish nodded.

The three marine race experts had long since severed their sixth shackle and possessed astonishing strength. The Manchurian Tiger grinned—he could block one of them but certainly couldn’t handle all three.

"Relative, why not sell us a favor and let us go this time?" the Manchurian Tiger said to the Bronze Tiger.

"You’ll be the first to die!" The Bronze Tiger revealed an undisguised murderous intent. He knew he had to kill the most powerful one from the group first.

"I’ll get rid of you first!" The Manchurian Tiger was enraged.

"Kill!"

The two tigers roared as they rushed at each other and began to fight intensively.

Following which, the Donkey King roared and fury as he activated the Buddhist staff and forced back the marine human who had wanted to approach them.

It was just that the strange fish charged in at that time, clearly planning to exhaust them to death. The marine race already knew that activated the Buddhist staff would drain all of the user’s energy.

"Thank goodness we brought the stone fruit along!" the black yak whispered as he prepared to eat the fruit, replenish his strength and fight once again.

"Let it be."

Chu Feng spoke at this time and stopped them from acting recklessly. He also called back the Manchurian Tiger.

Finally, the three marine race experts laughed coldly as they approached step by step. All of them had already landed on the ground.

"Chu Feng, it seems you’ve thought it over? Come over here now, or else I’ll show you a life worse than death!" The marine human was the most arrogant.

"It seems someone from the continent asked you to deal with me. Can you tell me which corporation or special power it is?" Chu Feng spoke.

"You’re overthinking it." The marine human shook his head and waved his hand, indicating for Chu Feng to go over to them. They planned to capture Chu Feng and take him away.

"Very well, since it’s so, I’ll force myself to fight a final battle." Chu Feng sighed.

"You can still fight a final battle?!" The Bronze Tiger was suspicious and immediately became wary. Apparently, he was quite clear about Chu Feng’s situation.

Boom!

The next moment, Chu Feng’s body erupted with light. His body was completely silver all the way to his hair. It seemed as if he had already surpassed six times the speed of sound. He was even faster and more powerful than before.

Not to mention the marine race experts, even black yak and the others were flabbergasted. They were shocked because the eruption of power was too sudden and too terrifying.

This speed was too awesome and shocking!

"Ah..."

The strange fish cried out miserably as Chu Feng pounced onto and bombarded it with his fists. It was blasted apart and had become a mist of blood.

The ferocity and tyranny were overwhelming!

"You!"

The bronze tiger immediately rushed into the sky with frightening speed and wanted to run away.

Boom!

Chu Feng shot out the diamond chakram. He didn’t even look and aimed only according to his senses. Following which, he went in pursuit of the arrogant marine human.

Pfft!

The bronze tiger was blasted into smithereens. It seemed to have been refined from metal but flesh and blood sprayed out in all directions.

"Oh mother, this is too savage! Too divine!" the Donkey King cried oddly.

At the same time, Chu Feng jumped up into the air and caught up to the marine human who was flapping his wings and fleeing into the air.

"Ah..."

The marine human cried out miserably and couldn’t resist Chu Feng’s tyrannical power. One of his arms was torn out in an instant, followed by a bloody wing. He was then caught alive and brought back to the surface.

Boom!

Chu Feng landed with the marine human in tow and smashed his lower body with a single fist, preventing him from escaping.

Everything happened too quickly like howling wind and torrential rains. Two marine race experts were killed and one wounded in the blink of an eye.

"Speak, tell us everything!" Chu Feng looked down at the traumatized marine human.
