Chapter 6550: Transforming the Embryo Into a General

“Chu Feng, is the Great Monster Slayer Emperor’s soul sliver not going to help us?” Eggy asked.

“Elder Great Monster Slayer Emperor would have helped us long ago if he intended to do so. There might be a trigger in the formation for him to help us only when I’m severely injured, but there’s no guarantee that’s the case either,” Chu Feng replied.

He also couldn’t say for sure what the Great Monster Slayer Emperor’s soul sliver was capable of.

“Doesn’t that make it tough for you to capture Zhao Feng alive? That’s more reason for me to make a move. I can capture him alive,” Eggy said.

“There’s no need for that. I taunted Zhao Feng earlier not just to provoke him, but also to create the impression that I’m cornered and am trying to hold him hostage for a chance to escape from here.

“The Netherworld Sect has many Heavenly Gods, but their fighting prowess is severely lacking. They must have made their breakthroughs recently, and they did so using special means, which resulted in their foundation being unstable. The same is also true for the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s Heavenly Dragon World Spiritists.

“That said, it’s still tricky to deal with so many of them at once. The Monster Slayer Sword is a powerful weapon, but it won’t be enough for me to deal with all of them. I won’t have much of an advantage against them even if I use my martial skills. That’s also the reason I’ve refrained from using martial skills thus far.

“I want them to underestimate me, so that they won’t be able to react right away when I launch a surprise assault. I want to capture Zhao Feng in a single swoop,” Chu Feng said.

This was one of Chu Feng’s commonly used ploys—feigning weakness to spring a lethal assault. However, the key to this ploy was that he had to appear weak to his enemies without being truly vulnerable.

Otherwise, it would be all for naught if the enemy exploited a weakness he revealed and took him down right away.

“Chu Feng isn’t using any martial skills. That must be a downside of using the Monster Slayer Sword.”

“Look at him! He’s sweating profusely and gasping for air. It looks like he’s about to deplete his stamina. Channeling the Monster Slayer Sword must be taking a toll on him.”

“He probably can’t last much longer at this rate.”

“We just need to encircle him and ensure that he can’t get away. It’s only a matter of time before he falls in defeat!”

“We must kill him here this time!”

The Netherworld Sectmembers secretly shared their analysis via voice transmission. They had fallen for Chu Feng’s trickery.

Chu Feng had also been observing their reactions. The moment the Netherworld Sectmembers loosened up a little, he decisively made his move.

“Divine Might! Heaven Suppression!”

Chu Feng simultaneously activated two rank three God Taboo Martial Skills to greatly weaken the Netherworld Sectmembers’ fighting prowess.

A golden light enveloped Chu Feng as he activated two more rank three God Taboo Martial Skills—the Ye Immortal Clan’s Heaven Protection and Heaven Footwork. The former raised his fighting prowess and defensive ability, whereas the latter boosted his movement speed.

With that, Chu Feng charged at Zhao Feng like a spectre.

These happened so fast that neither the Netherworld Sectmembers nor the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s world spiritists had time to react. Anyone who stood in Chu Feng’s path was slashed apart by his Monster Slayer Sword.

In the blink of an eye, he was already standing before Zhao Feng.

Zhao Feng hurriedly attempted a retaliation, but his attack barely fazed Chu Feng.

Chu Feng didn’t slash Zhao Feng with his Monster Slayer Sword. Instead, he kicked his foot right into the center of Zhao Feng’s abdomen.

This kick caused Zhao Feng to spurt blood from his nose. His face distorted from sheer pain, and he let out a howl reminiscent of a pig in an abattoir. This strike might appear to be a simple physical blow, but it dealt severe damage to his soul, rendering him incapable of fighting.

This was all Chu Feng could do for the time being until he extracted Feng Ling’s soul from the latter.

“That Chu Feng!” Baili Xukong, Cang Li, and the others turned livid with anger. They shot to their feet despite their weakened states.

As powerful as Rank three God Taboo Martial Skills were, they also placed immense stress on the cultivator using them. Chu Feng’s rank three God Taboos were powerful, but they had to be extremely strenuous as well.

Yet, Chu Feng simultaneously activated four of them without showing the slightest hint of weakness. This was a testament to his incredible endurance.

But what infuriated Cang Li and the others was the realization that they had been fooled by Chu Feng. Clearly, Chu Feng had refrained from using his martial skills to mislead them into thinking that he was weaker than he truly was.

Even the sweat on Chu Feng’s face was a lie, but the act had been so convincing that none of them saw through it. They were all convinced that Chu Feng was a goner.

And that was how Chu Feng turned the tables on them in the blink of an eye.

What was even more maddening was how Chu Feng wisely chose to retreat right away.

The effects of Divine Might had worn off, but the Netherworld Sectmembers and the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s world spiritists were still weakened by Heaven Suppression. That made it hard for them to pursue Chu Feng.

Hesitation flickered across the faces of the Netherworld Sectmembers.

“Use the Netherworld Troop Formation!” Baili Xukong’s voice boomed.

That was an order.

All Netherworld Sectmembers cast away their hesitation and simultaneously formed a hand seal. “I offer my blood to awaken the Netherworld Embryo. I offer my bloodline to nourish the Netherworld Embryo into a weapon. Activate, Netherworld Troop Formation!”

The entire Flowersea Ordinary Realm shook. Both the sky and the earth turned blood-red as if some kind of dye had seeped into the world.

Humongous blood-red silhouettes began rising in the distance. Even though they were a far distance away, Chu Feng could still clearly see them due to their hulking stature. These giants were all emanating the Netherworld Embryos’ auras.

These giants emanated terrifying auras, and their eyes glowed menacingly. They were all armored, and they were armed with a shield in the left hand and a saber in the right hand.

They resembled troops summoned from the netherworld to the world of the living, and the number of troops matched the number of Netherworld Sectmembers.

“Is this their hidden hand? I didn’t expect them to withhold such a move,” Eggy said.

These blood-red giants had manifested in all directions, even though the ones controlling them were all behind Chu Feng at the moment. This suggested that the Netherworld Sectmembers had prepared this formation in advance to encircle him.

From the airs emanated by the blood-red giants, this Netherworld Troop Formation was far more potent than the earlier Annihilation Formation. This was the Netherworld Sect’s real hidden card!

Eggy was worried, for she knew that Chu Feng wouldn’t be able to deal with this formation even if he exerted his full strength. And to her bewilderment, Chu Feng had stopped escaping as well.

So, she prepared to make a move.

“Chu Feng, even if you’re at your limit, don’t resort to the Divine Deer’s power right away. I can take you away from here instead,” Eggy said.

But Chu Feng immediately replied, “Eggy, I feel a weird reaction from my Netherworld Embryo.”

This was the real reason he had stopped.

“A weird reaction? How so? Is this formation suppressing you through the Netherworld Embryo inside of you?” Eggy felt even more unnerved.

“No, that’s not it. I feel like... I can control those blood-red giants through my Netherworld Embryo. If their Netherworld Embryos have morphed into soldiers, I feel like mine can be morphed into... a general,” Chu Feng replied.
