The Sacred Ruins

Chapter 715: Solemnly Declaring Responsibility

Translator: Alsey Editor: Chrissy

This group of Darkness hunter was being hunted. This was a one-sided massacre. The scent of blood in the forest assailed the nose as corpses fell down one after the other.

Chu Feng was like a bolt of lightning. Wherever he passed by, these assassins were like farm crops being harvested. There wasn’t a single living soul left as they fell under the Reincarnation Sword, and those before the Lightning Fist were devoid of their corpses.

Blood-curdling screams rang out one after the other. The way Chu Feng murdered people was too terrifying. He pushed forward along the path he crossed just like that.

In this moment, the portion Sky-Piercer occupied on Earth was experiencing a destructive attack.

“Chu Feng... Demon Chu!” That man with dishevelled hair chased after Chu Feng from behind with all his might, but he couldn’t catch up with Chu Feng’s speed. He could only see Chu Feng’s afterimages as he criss-crossed over this region, plundering unceasingly and killing everywhere he went.

Even if these people were assassins who walked in the dark all year round, they too were terrified. They had never seen such a demonic person. Sword light burst forth from a long, dark red sword with unmatched magnificence as it swept across all parts of heaven and earth. As it went on its way, someone would definitely be chopped into two and was sent flying.

That demon’s fist was even more terrifying with its vigorous energy. Under his one fist, those so-called young elites, even the excellent ones who ascended to the cloudeater realm, were shocked to the point where they spat out large mouthfuls of blood and their arms were broken. After which, their bodies cracked and bloody scars lined them from head to toe.

Bang!

Another expert youth shattered and broke into pieces under the Lightning Fist, flying in all directions as he brought about a large field of bloody rain.

The bright moon hung high in the air, sprinkling its silver white sheen on the ground. The whole mountain region was very gentle as though a thin layer of mist was draped over it. But the smell of blood was too pungent, ruining the deceivingly plain yet beautiful scenery and mood.

“Chu Feng, you’ll pay the price for doing this with blood! Death is not your final destination. You’ll sink into darkness and withstand boundless pain, struggling through tormentous time!” cursed a middle-aged assassin because he was in complete despair. When Chu Feng’s sword cut his arm off, he had to cut his own shoulder off just to survive. Yet in the end, Chu Feng’s fist ran through his chest. His body cracked like porcelain and he was about to crumble.

Poof! As expected, he no longer existed after he bellowed.

Under the moonlight, the silver waterfalls, pines, and brooks within the mountain and rivers had initially been harmoniously serene, bearing a pure and holy aura that was elegant and rich. But now, everything changed.

Even if they were assassins who walked in the dark all year round, these people were terrified and afraid when they saw Chu Feng behaving so tyrannically like a great demonic god, dyed in their blood as he reaped lives without stopping. Some people were even trembling.

Who exactly was the Darkness hunter and what clan was it that was proficient in the means of assassination!?

Now, everything was in reverse. They had already received their orders and understood the latest situation. The person they were going to assassinate and behead had come attacking on the very same night, ploughing through their courts and destroying their hideouts as he annihilated them. It was practically unimaginable.

There were three aged gold-medalled instructors in total. Yet what happened in the end was Chu Feng had gotten rid of two once he launched his attack. One had to know that they were close to the golden body realm!

As for the rest, they weren’t his opponent at all. Six amongst those middle-aged instructors had already died and were almost perishing.

As for the elite youths who were considered to be disciples to bear extraordinary potential and talent, more than sixty of them had died in such a short span of time. It was almost as though Chu Feng had slaughtered them once they met face-to-face, killing them violently.

At this moment, Chu Feng became a true demonic god. The enemy’s blood stained his body with scarlet dots. Whenever he attacked, he would demand the enemy’s life and sweep past this assassin organisation’s subsection.

“Ah!!!” An assassin in his teens who was about sixteen or seventeen years old collapsed. He had immense potential and astonishing talent. If that wasn’t the case, he wouldn’t be sent to this planet that was currently recovering.

Tonight, he saw Chu Feng venting out his anger heinously. He saw the coldness and heartlessness showing in Chu Feng’s eyes, witnessing his predatory methods.

At this moment, a few teens threw down their weapons. They turned around and fled as they howled, their conviction collapsing.

They were once proud of being hunters, but now, they had actually been reduced to livestock and were being slaughtered as their opponent pleased. They completely lacked the power to make a stand and fight against Chu Feng which made a few teens despair.

The expressions on the other people’s faces changed. From the beginning until now, even if they were no match for Chu Feng, these people were in hiding and finding the opportunity to assassinate him. But now, a few amongst them were terrified and the responses they made really went against what their usual training.

“Chu Feng, hand over your life!” roared that old gold-medalled instructure as he seethed in anger. He was an assassin and ought to lie low in the dark to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy.

But now, he couldn’t remain calm. His grandson died under Chu Feng’s sword and he had been chasing after him from behind all this while, yet he couldn’t match the other party’s speed.

“Those who kill will eventually be killed!” This was Chu Feng’s response. Since this group of cold-blooded assassins received orders aimed at him and his friends, there wasn’t anything good to say about it. They had to be annihilated and completely wiped out.

Boom!

A ray of sword light surged up like lightning and thunder, producing a terrifying sound. The brilliant rays of light were glaring, as though the firmament had been hacked open

At this moment, Chu Feng approached that old man and attacked him as he passed by.

During the process, a few people died—some heads flew up whereas others were cut in two. They collapsed on the ground with large pools of blood before dissolving.

In reality, the Sky-Piercer’s troops exceeded Chu Feng’s expectations. There weren’t seventy or eighty people, but rather a surge of people charged out from the underground palace. Adding them up together, there were more than a hundred and fifty people.

The sword and the rapier attacked the opposing side at the same time. When Chu Feng met with this old man, almost everyone nearby had been killed. He fixed his attention on this last old gold-medalled instructor who was still a threat.

Pcht, pcht, pcht!

The old man craftily attacked. Sword qi surged like a viper attacking that would deliver a fatal kiss at any time.

In addition to that, he constantly disappeared and hid within the void. He used many assassination techniques in inumerable succession. This was an extremely difficult and ruthless character!

Without a doubt, this person had an abundance of experience in the realm of assassination. He was an executioner who lived for the sole purpose of taking the lives of living beings.

If he was on a battlefield, his performance might be ordinary amongst an army of ten thousand people. But in a one-on-one fight under these circumstances, the energy he released was on a dangerous level and incomparably terrifying.

Unfortunately, he had encountered Chu Feng. Irrespective of whether it was a one-on-one fight or a group battle, Chu Feng’s current abilities were astonishingly fearsome.

Clank!

He sliced off the other party’s rapier and took to the sky like a flood dragon. He hacked with his sword tens of times in succession and forced the old man to rapidly dodge, disappearing into the void multiple times.

“Die!”

Following Chu Feng’s last soft shout, he hacked out hundreds of times with his sword in a single breath. Blood trickled down from this old man’s glabella and a scar appeared. Numerous scars appeared on his body in a densely packed manner like a spider web, all of which were blood-colored threads.

Finally, blood seeped out and extended from all of the thin red scars. This time, the sword had hit the old man tens of times. His whole body suddenly collapsed and he fell to the ground.

After Chu Feng softly shouted out, he didn’t spare him a second glance as he turned around and walked off right away, charging straight into the crowd!

This was a night of bloodshed!

In this battle, more than a hundred and fifty hunters from Sky-Piercer fell to the ground as corpses. Half of the skeletons belonging to the dead no longer existed, dying by the Reincarnation Sword; the other half had broken limbs and were rendered disabled. The Lightning Fist attacked them and they exploded, causing corpses to litter the ground and blood to drip.

One had to know that there were a few ruthless characters among them who belonged to the gold-medalled instructor category and the seed rank. However, they had all been annihilated!

Chu Feng had flattened the subdivision this darkness organization had established on Earth in the blink of an eye!

The main reason was because it had something to do with the domain he had set up which prevented these people from escaping.

Not too far away, the Silver-winged Race was terrified and their body trembled. They belonged to the peripheral organization and were not considered to be under Darkness organization’s direct command. As they watched this battle with their own eyes, they were cold from their heads to their feet.

Chu Feng raised his sword and walked over under the moonlight, taking one step at a time. His dishevelled hair hung over his shoulders while his whole body was drenched and stained with his enemy’s blood.

Boom!

His Lightning Fist covered the sky as he unleashed a massacre once more!

He had also set up a domain around this region, blocking off the Silver-winged Race’s possibility of escaping. These people were all trapped in this mountain forest.

In the end, the Silver-winged Race that followed Sky-Piercer and acted as their cover up were beheaded as well!

A bright moon hung in a vast sky full of twinkling stars. This mountain forest was as silent as the dead. All of the birds and animals were trembling as they hid themselves away. Even the mosquitoes didn’t dare to make a sound.

Chu Feng stood under the waterfall, cleaning his body. He changed into a fresh set of clean clothing and carried his sword on his back before he turned around and left.

He rushed onward for tens of thousands of meters and raided the area. It didn’t take him long to annihilate the subdivision Sky-Piercer had on Earth. In the end, he steered the green bamboo boat into the night sky to the east and charged straight into the sea.

When Chu Feng returned, the auction was still in session and had yet to end. Rather, each new high point was being replaced by another. A few rare and precious treasures as well as those saint children and saintesses were being auctioned off amidst a din of drums and gongs.

“Brother Chu, where did you go off to just now?” asked Origin Demon Prince Yuan Shicheng. He had a peculiar expression because with his powerful divine sense, he was convinced that Chu Feng had left just now and wasn’t on the boat.

“The blood and vitality in my body wasn’t flowing smoothly, so I went to exercise my muscles and bones,” answered Chu Feng.

At this moment, big black yak, Yellow Ox a,nd Old Donkey all saw Chu Feng. Seeing him return calmly, they immediately understood that the matter was a success and had already come to an end.

They had gleeful expressions on their faces and were completely at ease.

“Chu Feng, you let us down. When we were on Mount Kunlun, why did you raid and pillage us?”

At this moment, Yuan Yuan violently criticized him but although her eyes were wide, it was a little charming too. The Vermillion Bird Fairy stood beside her too, flames flickering indeterminately on the red battle clothes she was wearing as she watched Chu Feng intently.

Chu Feng stood on the deck, acknowledging them with the wine cup he held in his hands. After which, with a sincere attitude, he earnestly explained that he had mistaken them for someone else at that time. He thought that they were related to the Deity Race and in the end, he had only pillaged them because he wasn’t sure of their identity but didn’t harm any lives.

Yuan Yuan cast him a sidelong glance. How could she believe this kind of nonsensical talk? However, she didn’t want to be hostile because she had originally wanted to rope Chu Feng in and was merely using this as a pretext to converse with him now by finding a starting point to talk about.

The Origin Demon Race wanted to rope Chu Feng in!

The silver-haired loli Ying Xiaoxiao appeared and disappeared unpredictably. She ran over and undermined Yuan Yuan’s plans as she said, “You big liar! Then why did you make my elder sister faint? Don’t tell me she looks like someone from the Deity Race too!? Don’t you see our head of silver hair?!”

“I thought you guys were from the Xilin clan. They have very mixed hair color!” answered Chu Feng without a reddened face nor a leaping heart.

Ying Zhexian and Ying Wudi, who were currently walking over, heard this and were speechless. He really opened his mouth and said this!

The auction was currently in session. As time moved on, they entered deep into the night. Four hours passed and the Sky-Piercer in the cosmos could no longer remain calm any longer.

The reason was because they were deploying an army that very night. They wanted to deploy their trump cards—hunters bearing the most experience to go to the galaxy and enter Earth to kill Chu Feng!

However, when they were trying to contact Earth’s subdivision to understand a little about the situation, there was a complete lack of movement from them. There was a dead atmosphere there with not a single person responding.

Following which, they contacted the members of the peripheral division. But in the end, even the Silver-winged Race didn’t respond in the slightest, either.

They lost contact with Earth’s subdivision!

This was definitely a major incident. At that time, their hearts sank. They had actually lost all contact with the humans residing on Earth. It really was comical and ridiculous.

In the end, they could only contact the planet galaxy explorers. They spent a lot of money to buy information from this organization so that they could scout out the answer.

There were many organizations within the planet galaxy explorers, so naturally, some members were on Earth. These kind of people occasionally had business dealings with Sky-Piercer in their every day matters, so they immediately accepted the task when it arrived.

That was because this kind of mission was too easy. They only had to rush over to the destination to take a look and that was that.

That night, news that shocked the starry skies spread out. In the starry sea, such news spread like the speed of an explosion and shocked many orthodoxies to the point where they were stupefied.

The planet galaxy explorers usually went on expeditions and excavated treasures. They also helped people source out information. They received compensation for all of these and their clients weren’t unique either.

They didn’t have any obligation to maintain secrecy.

When they rushed to the depths of Mount Wangwu, the pungent smell of blood immediately assailed their nostrils. Following which, they saw corpses littering the ground everywhere and many human-shaped ashes. The remnants of the battle clothes all had Sky-Piercer’s mark engraved on their sleeves. They came to the realization that this was the Darkness hunters’ old nest and was their subdivision on Earth!

These people were all dead!

After they informed Sky-Piercer of this news, the high levelled colossal being in the darkness was furious!

At the same time, a few other orthodoxies got the news as well and triggered a catastrophe.

“Oh god! Who did this? The Darkness hunters got killed instead and were completely annihilated. Not a single one could escape!”

A huge earthquake ensued as the news spread in the starry sky.

“Not long ago, didn’t they announce on their official platform that they were going to start hunting Chu Feng? Yet in the end... something happened to them first!”

“This... happened on Earth? It couldn’t be...” A few people’s eyes twinkled as they made an astonishing mental association.

Soon, many bidders at the Eastern Sea auction got wind of this news and were all stupefied. Many people got up and whispered to one another as they spiritedly discussed this.

“Chu Feng, it couldn’t be that you did this, right!?” At this moment, even Ying Wudi had a frightened expression on his face as he looked at Great Demon Chu sitting across from him.

Chu Feng swirled his red wine and walked up to the platform, addressing everyone, “I’m temporarily having a news conference.”

After which, he declared very briefly and seriously, “I take responsibility for the incident on Mount Wangwu!”
