Chapter 695 Collapse
"What kind of joke are you playing? Hiding your karma line? I've never heard of such a cultivation technique!"
After the giant finished speaking, his spirit seemed to suffer a severe blow, and he immediately fell silent. Even the aura he had erupted disappeared instantly.
Saint Moon Divine Venerable, sensing the giant's unusual state, did not pay much attention.
The giant's divine soul had long been severely injured, fluctuating between good and bad states; he was already accustomed to it.
Perhaps the matter of hiding karma lines had triggered some fragmented memories in his mind, causing him a huge shock.
Just as Saint Moon Divine Venerable was wondering who was opposing him.
Chen Yang looked at the black crow in front of him and said indifferently, "You almost succeeded!"
At this moment, the black crow had fallen into a coma due to the explosion of the forbidden curse within its body. Fortunately, Chen Yang had resolved it in time, and the power of the forbidden curse did not fully erupt, only severely injuring the black crow's body.
Chen Yang checked and found that although the black crow's body had exploded, whether by luck or misfortune, it was still clinging to life.
"It's only because I'm by your side. If it were anyone else, you'd probably be dead by now."
As Chen Yang spoke, he used his internal energy to protect the black crow's heart.
However, even so, if powerful treatment could not be administered within a short period, this fellow would eventually die.
Chen Yang simultaneously notified the Zhu family's Grandmasters outside to fetch the necessary items, and then said to Hu Feng, "Saint Moon Divine Venerable has left some forbidden curses in this fellow's body. Whenever needed, even if he's not present, the forbidden curses within him can be triggered, and you've seen the consequences of its eruption. If I hadn't intervened just now, you would have died here too. Are you sure you don't have anything like this in your body?"
Hu Feng had already been scared senseless by the recent events.
The powerful energy that suddenly erupted from the black crow's body was on a crushing level for her.
Even if she hadn't been injured, Hu Feng knew she would have been unable to escape this calamity.
As for Chen Yang's final question, it made Hu Feng's heart skip a beat.
After a flash of all her encounters with Saint Moon Divine Venerable in her mind, Hu Feng slowly shook her head, "I probably don't have this kind of forbidden curse on me. I don't have much impression of that Saint Moon Divine Venerable, so he probably wouldn't have placed something like this inside me."
Hu Feng, a martial artist who specialized in illusion techniques, had a good understanding of various forbidden arts.
The forbidden curse within the black crow, capable of erupting such immense power, must have consumed extraordinary materials.
The black crow was someone who served Saint Moon Divine Venerable, so he must have understood Saint Moon Divine Venerable much more than she did. It was normal for him to be afflicted with such a forbidden curse.
After Hu Feng voiced her suspicions and saw Chen Yang nod in agreement, she felt a sense of relief. However, when Chen Yang prepared to take the black crow away, she asked with some peculiarity, "When can you let me go?"
"I promise you, I swear I will never appear before you again!"
What Hu Feng wanted most now was to find a place to hide. She didn't want to see Chen Yang, nor did she want to see Saint Moon Divine Venerable.
Caught between two powerful individuals, a single hand from either could easily crush her. Hu Feng certainly did not wish to suffer such a fate.
Chen Yang approached Hu Feng, partially freeing her from the restraint of her internal energy, and said slowly, "For you, this is the safest place right now. If you go out and are discovered by Saint Moon Divine Venerable's informants, do you think you'll be able to survive?"
"Black crow is already considered dead by Saint Moon Divine Venerable. With such a powerful forbidden curse placed upon him, the black crow's importance is self-evident. Do you think Saint Moon Divine Venerable will not investigate this matter? It's even possible he'll investigate personally."
"And you are his breakthrough point. I don't need to say anything more, do I?"
Hearing Chen Yang's words, Hu Feng almost burst into tears. Was she doomed to wait for death?
Chen Yang nodded with satisfaction at this scene. The most important thing now was to break through Hu Feng's psychological defenses.
Hu Feng had not fully opened her heart to him, and Chen Yang even suspected that she still harbored some lingering affection for Saint Moon Divine Venerable.
After all, Saint Moon Divine Venerable had personally helped her become a Grandmaster martial artist.
This was a momentous occasion for any martial artist, and Chen Yang was no exception.
The difference between a Grandmaster and a martial artist below that level was a significant threshold. Only after achieving the Grandmaster realm does one truly embark on the path of a martial artist.
Chen Yang had to ensure that Hu Feng harbored only fear and hatred towards Saint Moon Divine Venerable.
After Chen Yang left, Hu Feng was left alone in the room.
Hu Feng squatted alone in a corner, looking at the messy room and the bloodstains on the floor, tears slowly trickling down.
Chen Yang was unaware that Hu Feng was nearing a breakdown. He was more concerned about the black crow's condition.
The black crow was a very special existence. Chen Yang had sensed the demon core within him during their first encounter. This was not a human, but an animal transformed.
This was why Chen Yang had never delivered a fatal blow and even spared the black crow's life at this moment.
The Bronze Tree was still an inanimate object. Although it had awakened its intelligence, its transformation had only just begun, and it would encounter countless troubles along the way.
Chen Yang had no prior experience with transformations. Now that he suddenly had a transformed black crow in his possession, Chen Yang naturally wanted to extract all possible information from him.
Although the Zhu family's Grandmasters did not know what had happened in the room, they had clearly sensed the powerful aura that had suddenly erupted.
When they carried the black crow out, several of them could feel the chaos within his body.
Chen Yang had directly ravaged his internal organs…
The brutality of his methods was unprecedented.
The Zhu family Grandmaster who had previously praised Chen Yang now looked at him with a greater degree of apprehension.
It turned out that the Heavenly Venerable of Medicine… was capable of more than just medical skills!
Sensing the subtle change in their gazes, Chen Yang explained, "During the interrogation, the forbidden curse within this fellow activated. The person controlling it from behind is an extremely powerful martial artist. There was another person in the room; I don't know if she has any forbidden curses on her. It's best if you seniors interact with her as little as possible."
The mention of forbidden curses caused everyone to gasp.
Not only because forbidden curses were extremely rare, but also because Chen Yang had managed to suppress the power unleashed by the forbidden curse.
