307: Chapter 307: Ye Chenfeng’s Trump Card – First Update!
The first update!
He was speaking the truth, their current situation was extremely dangerous.
A formidable Chi Lian and ten warriors from the Black Sun God’s guards awaited them, and ahead, an unknown master stood on a tree branch, likely a powerhouse invited by the Black Sun God himself.
In Japan, it was common for major forces to recruit retainers.
Generally, these retainers were experts gathered from around the world, including all domains.
They usually enjoyed the protection and support of these major forces, receiving everything unconditionally.
Moreover, these individuals were free and not under the direct control of any force, but they had to intervene whenever their patrons needed them, as per the agreement between the retainers and the Japanese forces.
A retainer who caught the eye of the Black Sun God was no ordinary person.
For instance, the fellow standing on the tree branch was a true master, his real strength so elusive that even Ye Chenfeng couldn’t discern it.
“Haha, can the Forbidden God King make a trade?” Chi Lian shifted the topic with a laugh.
Ye Chenfeng was startled, “What trade?
Let’s hear it!”
“We want the legendary Dragon Vein!
And in return, we’ll give you Chu Qingfei back!” Chi Lian said with narrowed eyes gleaming sharply.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about, but it sounds like a good deal.
What’s this Dragon Vein thing?
I just can’t wrap my head around it!” Ye Chenfeng looked utterly confused.
“You don’t need to play dumb, Forbidden God King.
Why do you think the Dragon Knight Forbidden Army was annihilated?
You’re utterly aware that it was because of the Dragon Vein!
Everyone wants the Dragon Vein!
Being its possessor, wouldn’t everyone be jealous?” Chi Lian yelled.
Ye Chenfeng waved his hand helplessly, “Isn’t the Dragon Vein just a type of impressive ley line?
How could I possibly hand that over to you?
Should I move mountains like the foolish old man?”
“It seems we must take action ourselves!” Chi Lian’s expression changed, and a tidal wave of killing intent overwhelmed Ye Chenfeng.
“Tsss tsss tsss…”
The sound of katana being unsheathed in succession knitted together into a haunting melody of demon tune.
The ten warriors of the Black Sun God drew their katanas, with their lethal edge glinting coldly!
A major battle was on the brink of eruption, filling the air with a tension as tight as drawn bows.
Ye Chenfeng was somewhat frustrated.
These people were obsessed with the Dragon Vein, thinking that obtaining it would save the world or something.
So much trouble.
And now, these folks had sent such a formidable array, truly bothersome.
“Can’t we all just get along?
We’re adults; let’s be mature in our words and actions and not resort to weapons at every turn!” Ye Chenfeng muttered to himself in exasperation.
“What do you think, Forbidden God King?
In your eyes, which is more important: Chu Qingfei or the Dragon Vein?” Chi Lian asked one final time, issuing her ultimatum.
“A Cloud-Piercing Arrow, as if thousands of troops and horses come to meet us!” Ye Chenfeng suddenly shouted.
Immediately, rustling sounds came from all directions, as if countless creatures were surging forward, producing an extremely eerie effect on the ears.
“Ah?”
Chi Lian’s mouth hung open as she saw a swarm of creatures covering the sky and earth, various snakes, scorpions, and even a large group of red-headed, black-bodied giant ants surged in from all sides.
Except for the sky above, every other direction was horrifyingly covered by these venomous creatures.
“Hiss!”
Chi Lian continuously sucked in cold air as she stared at the terrifying scene, her group couldn’t help but shiver, imagining what it would be like to be engulfed by this mass of venomous creatures.
In less than a second, a perfectly intact person would be reduced to a mere skeleton, their flesh consumed in an instant.
Contemplating this terrifying scene, Chi Lian and her companions couldn’t help but shiver.
“You think you can bully me on my own turf?” Ye Chenfeng became arrogantly cold because, just as he had said: A Cloud-Piercing Arrow, as if thousands of troops and horses come to meet us.
Yi Buxing’s practice was not the orthodox medicine path, but rather, he was a Poison Doctor.
At Changsheng Tomb, he had nurtured a variety of venomous creatures in such enormous quantities that they normally did not appear, but today, summoned by Ye Chenfeng, they created this terrifying scene.
“You…
you used deception!” Chi Lian said coldly, her pretty face full of fierceness.
Ye Chenfeng chuckled, “What?
Are you allowed to bring experts and I’m not allowed to ask for help?
Moreover, this is still damn well my territory.”
“You’re ruthless!” Chi Lian was completely convinced, nervously watching the increasingly approaching swarm of creatures.
Despite her special ability, she couldn’t help feeling scared.
“Damn it!”
Finally, someone could no longer restrain themselves.
It was a Black Sun God guard, wielding a katana fiercely sweeping it.
Swish!
A terrifying blade Qi rampaged, instantly attacking the swarm of venomous creatures like a storm, immediately smashing a large number of them.
“Phew!”
The eyes of the others brightened, as if they had seen hope.
But the next scene shocked them, as the part of the swarm that was lost was replenished by even more venomous creatures from behind.
“Ah…!”
The wave-like surge of venomous creatures came crashing down and instantly overwhelmed that Black Sun God guard.
In the blink of an eye, the guard turned into a white skeleton, his flesh completely gone.
“Hiss!”
Now, Chi Lian and the others were truly facing their fears.
Ye Chenfeng waved his hand grandly, causing the swarm of venomous creatures to halt temporarily, but pairs of sinister small eyes, icy cold, stared fixedly at Chi Lian and the others, as if at Ye Chenfeng’s command, they would move forward and devour them.
“How about it?
Do you want to end up like him?” Ye Chenfeng asked cheerily.
Chi Lian was genuinely scared and couldn’t help asking, “Forbidden God King, what do you mean by this?”
Ye Chenfeng smiled, “Hand over Chu Qingfei, and I’ll spare your lives and let you go!”
Chi Lian hesitated for a moment and cautiously asked, “If we hand over Chu Qingfei, will you really let us go?”
“I mean what I say!” Ye Chenfeng said coldly.
“Fine, I’ll take you there, but first withdraw them!” Chi Lian said, warily looking around.
“Withdraw!” Ye Chenfeng waved his hand.
Once again, a tumultuous noise rose, and the overwhelming swarm of black creatures instantly vanished, as if nothing had ever happened.
Chi Lian’s chest heaved, and she quietly sighed with relief, feeling the oppressive force of the venomous creatures as heavy as Mount Tai.
“I should have realized earlier that the consort was still at Changsheng Tomb!”
When Chi Lian led Ye Chenfeng to Changsheng Tomb, Ye Chenfeng slapped his forehead and said, “I was careless earlier.
While searching the village with an impostor Chi Lian for the real Chu Qingfei, I overlooked one place — Changsheng Tomb.”
The most dangerous place is indeed the safest place.
