1047: Chapter 1040: Overwhelming 1047: Chapter 1040: Overwhelming Beneath the Desert of Death lay a hidden world.
The temperature here was not cooler due to being underground; rather, because the air was stagnant year-round, it induced a deeply uncomfortable sense of suffocation.
When Ye Chenfeng had collected thirty-two Hearts of the Desert, his strength smoothly broke through to the peak of the Venerable Level.
Outside the city gate.
The paralytic toxin from the blood-red vines was slowly vanishing.
Although Kong Fei, Bao Yutao, and Bao Yuqiang of the Heavenly Alliance had been ensnared by the vines first, all of them were at the middle stage of the Venerable Level, so their recovery pace quickly matched that of Shen Mingxuan and others.
Lying on the ground, the first thing that the trio, led by Kong Fei, could move were their fingertips, trembling slightly.
Then, their arms regained function, and the paralysis on their bodies receded at an astonishingly fast rate.
As Kong Fei and his companions regained their mobility, Shen Mingxuan, Cheng Dahhu, and Xiao Liyuan were also recovering, since they had been entangled by the blood-red vines for a shorter duration.
Five minutes later.
Kong Fei, Bao Yutao, and Bao Yuqiang were the first to stand up from the ground, while Shen Mingxuan, Cheng Dahhu, and Xiao Liyuan were not far behind.
As these individuals had only just regained control of their bodies, they were unable to fully command their limbs and could only glower at each other with wide eyes.
Kong Fei kept twisting his arms, trying to hasten his recovery, a scornful and angry smile appearing on his lips as he said, “My brother was killed by you all.
Your two companions should be waiting for you on the Road to Netherworld by now.
There’s no need to hurry; I will soon have you join them.”
Shen Mingxuan, Cheng Dahhu, and Xiao Liyuan were also trying to recover as quickly as possible.
Although it seemed to be a three-against-three situation, Shen Mingxuan was only at the initial stage of the Venerable Level and both Cheng Dahhu and Xiao Liyuan were at the middle stage of the Venerable Level.
Arguably, any one of Kong Fei, Bao Yuqiang, or Bao Yutao had the capability to sweep Shen Mingxuan and his allies.
“Minxuan, what should we do now?” Xiao Liyuan asked quietly.
Cheng Dahhu interjected, “Mingxuan, Li Yuan, I don’t believe that Chenfeng and Xin Yi are dead.
I can’t guarantee as much if Xin Yi were alone, but I refuse to believe that Chenfeng could die.
We must get to the city gates immediately.”
Shen Mingxuan sighed helplessly and replied, “Dahhu, do you think the Heavenly Alliance would allow us to enter the gates?
I’m afraid that once they fully recover, it’ll be time for our departure to the hereafter.”
“What are you three whispering about?
Are you scared now?
Aren’t you the geniuses of the Obliterate Heavenly Alliance?
When facing life and death, you’re nothing but cowards,” Bao Yutao sneered.
“It’s truly a pity about Lin Xinyi’s death.
If we could have enjoyed her body before she died, it would’ve made this suffering worthwhile, instead of nearly losing our lives—what wretched luck,” complained Bao Yuqiang discontentedly.
In the view of Kong Fei and the others, Ye Chenfeng and Lin Xinyi had been dragged into the city gates by two thick vines, but even they had nearly lost their lives to the thinner ones.
So, they didn’t believe that Ye Chenfeng and Lin Xinyi could have survived beneath those thick vines.
And even if they had, in the eyes of Kong Fei and his group, Ye Chenfeng and Lin Xinyi would probably be crippled.
“Crack!
Crack!
Crack!
Crack!
Crack—”
The sound of bones grinding came non-stop from Kong Fei’s joints as he kept twisting his neck and arms.
He was now fully able to control his body, and Bao Yutao and Bao Yuqiang also regained control shortly after.
As for Shen Mingxuan, Cheng Dahhu, and Xiao Liyuan, their recovery was a beat slower than that of Kong Fei and his company.
Kong Fei eyed Shen Mingxuan, who was furrowing his brows, and said, “Shen Mingxuan, you are the son of the Hierarch of the Obliterate Heavenly Alliance, aren’t you?
The supposed number one talent of the alliance?
Today, under my hands, even if you are a genius, I will reduce you to nothing but a pile of dog shit.”
“Yutao, Yuqiang, leave these three to me.
I want to avenge my brother,” Kong Fei said to his companions as the Venerable Level Soul Force inside him slowly began to surge.
Shen Mingxuan, Cheng Dahhu, and Xiao Liyuan couldn’t help but clench their fists tight, with Shen Mingxuan losing all hope of life.
He glanced towards the city gates, but in that glance, he froze.
He saw clearly Ye Chenfeng, with Lin Xinyi at his side, casually strolling out from the city gates—could it be that Ye Chenfeng and Lin Xinyi hadn’t died?
An elated Cheng Dahhu bellowed, “I knew early on that Chenfeng would be fine.
Even if the Heavenly King were dead, I wouldn’t believe that Chenfeng could be.”
Kong Fei, Bao Yutao, and Bao Yuqiang were taken aback to see Ye Chenfeng and Lin Xinyi still alive; a shade of shock flashed across their eyes.
Bao Yuqiang said with a smile, “It’s really great that Lin Xinyi isn’t dead.
We can have a good play with her before sending her on her way.”
A mad look appeared on Kong Fei’s face as he said, “My brother was pushed into the Lake of Death by that woman, Lin Xinyi.
Since this cheap bitch is not dead yet, I’ll be the first to have her.
I’ll take my brother’s share as well.”
While Kong Fei and the others were talking, Ye Chenfeng, holding Lin Xinyi against his waist, walked over to Shen Mingxuan and the others with a leisurely demeanor and not a hint of panic on his face.
Lin Xinyi, being held by Ye Chenfeng, immediately said, “Ye Chenfeng, can you put me down now?” Due to the deep paralytic poison within Lin Xinyi, she was temporarily unable to recover her mobility.
Ye Chenfeng set Lin Xinyi down on the ground and looked at Kong Fei, who had a crazy expression on his face.
Shen Mingxuan quickly asked in a low voice, “Chenfeng, you and Xin Yi aren’t injured, right?
What do we do now to get rid of these three?”
“You all stop blabbering.
Is there any place for you to escape under this ground?
If you want to chat leisurely, then I can send you underground to have a good talk.”
Kong Fei’s gaze was fixed on Ye Chenfeng as he continued, “What do you say?
You can all come at me together.”
Ye Chenfeng held back Cheng Dahhu, who was eager to try, and said, “Mingxuan, Dahhu, Li Yuan, just stand aside.
Let me deal with him alone.”
“Chenfeng, what are you talking about?
You want to take him on alone?
How is that possible?” Shen Mingxuan urgently said, worried.
Because Ye Chenfeng had not boosted his Soul Force, nobody present felt that Ye Chenfeng’s strength had broken through.
“Ye Chenfeng, don’t you think you are being too arrogant?
Or do you think you can use that corrosive liquid in your hand to kill me?
Dream on,” Kong Fei said disdainfully.
Paralyzed and sitting on the ground, Lin Xinyi churned with frustration inside, thinking, “Humph, Ye Chenfeng is going to play the same old trick of the pig playing the tiger.” In Lin Xinyi’s view, with Ye Chenfeng’s strength having broken through to the Venerable Level Peak, he had the complete power to crush Kong Fei.
“Don’t you trust me?
I never do anything I’m not sure of.
All of you, back off,” Ye Chenfeng softly said to Shen Mingxuan and the others.
Cheng Dahhu was the first to back away, as he believed in Ye Chenfeng, a belief that went deep into his bones.
After seeing Cheng Dahhu step back, Shen Mingxuan and Xiao Liyuan also reluctantly took a step back, with Shen Mingxuan saying, “Chenfeng, if you can’t handle it, we’ll come up to help you right away.”
Upon seeing Shen Mingxuan and the other two actually step back, Kong Fei felt a hint of vigilance in his heart, keeping a clear head as he said, “Ye Chenfeng, I want to see what tricks you can pull off.”
“Kong Fei, just don’t capsize in the gutter like your brother, or it would be really embarrassing,” Bao Yutao teased.
“Ye Chenfeng, come on!
It’s time for you to obediently hit the road,” Kong Fei shouted warily, bringing the Venerable Level Middle Stage Soul Force within his body to its peak.
Ye Chenfeng had no intention of showing mercy.
His body surged with Venerable Level Peak Soul Force, and his feet executed the Storm Profound Step Method.
A storm raged, and distances shrank to inches.
Before Kong Fei could react, Ye Chenfeng appeared in front of him.
His right hand grabbed Kong Fei’s head and forcefully pressed it down toward the ground.
Kong Fei completely lost his balance and with a “bang,” his head made solid contact with the ground, his skull instantly bursting open, brain matter and blood splattering all over the surface.
Shen Mingxuan, Cheng Dahhu, and Xiao Liyuan, standing not far behind Ye Chenfeng, were completely stunned.
Cheng Dahhu excitedly said, “Chenfeng, Chenfeng—he actually broke through to the Venerable Level Peak?
How did he do that?”
A bitter smile appeared on Shen Mingxuan’s lips as he said, “It seems there really isn’t a place for us to step in here.”
“Freak, monster, he’s simply not human,” Xiao Liyuan swallowed hard and said.
