Chapter 6549: The Thick-skinned Zhao Feng

“That soul entity is the Great Monster Slayer Emperor, and Chu Feng is wielding the Monster Slayer Sword. Does this mean that Chu Feng has obtained the Great Monster Slayer Emperor’s legacy?”

Upon hearing those words, the Heavenly Gods and Heavenly Dragon World Spiritists surrounding Chu Feng instinctively took a step back.

Their cultivation might be beneath Baili Xukong, Jie Tianran, and the others, but most of them had lived for over a thousand years, some even tens of thousands of years. There was no lack of individuals who were knowledgeable about the past.

Some of them recognized the Great Monster Slayer Emperor and the Monster Slayer Sword. In particular, they were intimidated by the Great Monster Slayer Emperor’s soul entity. Any hand left behind by an expert of that caliber could easily vanquish them all.

But there were also those who weren’t afraid of death.

“Who cares what he obtained? He blasphemed the sacred item. That’s an unforgivable sin. Kill him!” a Netherworld Sectmember roared as he charged forth.

A few other Netherworld Sectmembers heeded his call and rushed in as well.

Surges of martial power gushed at Chu Feng from all directions in all forms, be it sword auras, light beams, and martial skills. These were all killing moves.

“You aren’t capable of killing me,” Chu Feng sneered.

He swung his Monster Slayer Sword, unleashing waves of martial power that quaked the sky and rippled space. His counterattack blocked the Heavenly Gods’ attacks.

“Rank one Heavenly God!”

“Did he make a breakthrough to rank one Heavenly God?!”

All Netherworld Sectmembers halted their attacks upon sensing Chu Feng’s fighting prowess. They were struck by shock and confusion.

“That’s not his real cultivation. His sword must have temporarily enhanced his strength!” Baili Xukong’s voice boomed across the Undying Starfield.

“He’s merely relying on a treasure!”

The crowd widened their eyes in realization as they heaved a sigh of relief.

“So what if that’s his real cultivation? We’re all rank one Heavenly Gods, and we have him outnumbered here. We have nothing to fear! Kill him!”

The Netherworld Sectmembers charged at Chu Feng once more.

All this while, the Great Monster Slayer Emperor’s soul entity stood behind Chu Feng with closed eyes, showing no signs of making a move. It looked more like a decoration than a helper.

That emboldened the Netherworld Sectmembers, and more people joined the fray. Even the Heavenly Dragon World Spiritists also began constructing slaughter formations to attack Chu Feng.

Anyone else in Chu Feng’s place would have long collapsed under the onslaught of so many Heavenly Gods and Heavenly Dragon World Spiritists.

But Chu Feng remained fearless because of the special nature of the Monster Slayer Sword. The fighting prowess he received from it wasn’t particularly formidable, but he noticed that the Monster Slayer Sword was stronger if he simply swung it without relying on martial skills.

That was also how he was able to cope with all the attacks and formations targeting him.

However, there was also a downside to wielding the Monster Slayer Sword—he couldn’t use Divine Flitting.

“Elder, why am I unable to use Divine Flitting?” Chu Feng asked the Divine Deer.

He could already tell what skills he could use without activating them. Most of his martial skills and secret skills could be used with the Monster Slayer Sword, and this included special ones like Protection Bane and Dark Plunder.

However, he couldn’t use Divine Flitting and Divine Evasion.

“Divine skills are unlike other skills. They originate from me. You are able to use them because you have my acknowledgment, but I have not acknowledged the Monster Slayer Sword. You are borrowing the Monster Slayer Sword’s cultivation right now, so naturally, you aren’t able to use my divine skills,” the Divine Deer replied.

“I see. That makes things tricky.”

While Chu Feng could freely deactivate the Monster Slayer Sword, there was a brief cooldown before he could activate it again. If not for this limitation, he could have swiftly alternated between activating and deactivating the Monster Slayer Sword to use Divine Flitting in between.

Divine Flitting would have greatly enhanced his fighting prowess, allowing him to deal with his enemies with much greater ease.

This limitation forced him to compromise.

In truth, there was no need for Chu Feng to confront the Netherworld Sectmembers or the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s world spiritists. He only had one target—Zhao Feng.

The problem was that Zhao Feng was hiding behind everyone else. He was attacking Chu Feng as well, but he was keeping his distance. It wouldn’t be easy for Chu Feng to kill him under such circumstances.

“Zhao Feng, you must be Baili Xukong’s godson?” Chu Feng asked while dealing with incoming attacks.

“What about it?” Zhao Feng replied loftily.

“Baili Xukong sure is an interesting one. His son is trash, and he takes in a coward as his godson,” Chu Feng remarked.

“Coward? I am fighting against you, and yet you call me a coward?” Zhao Feng replied brazenly despite his evasive fighting style.

“Look at how far you are hiding from me,” Chu Feng scoffed.

“Hahaha...” Zhao Feng burst into laughter.

“Chu Feng, you might be qualified to say those words if you’re a rank two Heavenly God, but why would I fear a True God level cultivator who is barely standing against us by borrowing the power of a treasure?” Zhao Feng snorted.

“You should know better. I don’t have anything against the others here, but from the moment you tried to take Feng Ling’s life, there’s already a grudge between the two of us,” Chu Feng said.

“Chu Feng, how dare you speak about grudges before us? You blasphemed our Netherworld Sect’s sacred item and ruined our Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s formation. Your actions are more than deserving of death!” Zhao Feng sneered. He turned to the crowd and asked loudly, “What do the rest of you say?”

Many agreed with Zhao Feng and let out taunts against Chu Feng.

“Indeed, Chu Feng! You are the enemy of our Netherworld Sect. If you give up right now, I can plead with the Netherworld Marshal and leave you with an intact corpse. Otherwise, we’ll make sure that your soul disintegrates into nothing!”

Chu Feng sighed helplessly. He could only remark, “Fools.”

It was obvious that Zhao Feng was using the others as meat shields, but these people failed to notice such a basic fact. But on second thought, these Netherworld Sectmembers and Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s members might have realized it, but they were playing along because of the huge contribution they could obtain from killing Chu Feng.

In other words, they were willing to overlook the danger for the merit.

In hindsight, Zhao Feng was smart not to get ahead of himself to vie for contribution.

“Chu Feng, that Zhao Feng is thick-skinned. Your taunts aren’t working on him. Why don’t I make a move and vanquish him instead?” Eggy said with a hint of ire.

While Chu Feng wasn’t bothered about it, Eggy couldn’t stand people like Zhao Feng prancing around Chu Feng.

“Eggy, we can’t kill Zhao Feng yet. We need to keep him alive to properly extract Feng Ling’s bloodline from his body,” Chu Feng replied.
