Chapter 140: Chapter 140 I’ll Wait for You to Come Back

"Boom!" Under the attack of the golden sunflowers, Shi Feng was sent flying backward.

"Hehehehe!" Ma Defu laughed weirdly as he soared into the air, quickly catching up to the backward-flying Shi Feng. His right hand reached out like a claw toward Shi Feng’s face: "Hehehehe, let me properly caress your fair little face."

"Scram!" Facing the wrinkled old hand reaching for him, Shi Feng shouted angrily, launching a soul attack, the Nine Nether Soul-Shocking Seal, at Ma Defu.

"Huh?" Ma Defu was briefly stunned but quickly recovered. As a Five-star Martial Sovereign Expert, the Nine Nether Soul-Shocking Seal launched with Shi Feng’s third-stage Soul Power had little effect on him.

However, Shi Feng seized the opportunity of Ma Defu’s brief moment of distraction to escape from his wrinkled grasp. Just before his body was about to crash to the ground, he flipped over and landed on his feet.

Fighting Ma Defu, a battle against a Five-star Martial Sovereign Expert, was truly still a powerless feat.

"Hehehehe." Ma Defu stood aloft in the void, looking down at Shi Feng below him with a sinister smirk: "Little one, do you still want to resist?"

Shi Feng’s face was ice-cold as he looked at the perverted old eunuch and then shouted coldly, "Kill!"

"Boom!" Suddenly, a roar came from above the hall where Ma Defu stood. A large hole burst open, sending shards flying everywhere. A black figure plummeted down from above, a green spear in hand ablaze with searing flames, thrusting viciously toward Ma Defu’s head.

"Hmm? A Five-star Martial Sovereign!" Seeing the black figure that suddenly attacked, Ma Defu’s face twitched slightly. He pushed out with his right palm, and a giant golden sunflower reappeared to meet the fiery thrust of the spear.

"Boom!" The fiery spear collided with the golden sunflower, and powerful forces spread throughout the hall, "Bang bang bang bang! Boom boom boom boom!"

Tiles on the hall shattered, stone slabs on the floor cracked open with web-like fissures, some bursting violently. The entire hall shook intensely, as if it were about to collapse, casting dust everywhere.

From Shi Feng’s third evil eye, a thick grey mist gushed forth, corroding towards Ma Defu. Then, he thrust out with his sword that had turned a ghastly white, a fierce white Sword Qi mixed with the grey mist, both hurtling towards Ma Defu.

Immediately after, another streak of black light fell from above, and a massive black Sword Energy appeared right above Ma Defu, fiercely slashing down!

"Boom!"

Another violent explosion ensued, and the already dilapidated hall finally couldn’t withstand the multiple powerful forces clashing, collapsing with a thunderous noise, dust billowing out.

As the dust gradually settled, the figure of Shi Feng stood proud amidst the rubble.

Wu Xiaoyun stood floating in the void, spear in hand, while Yee Wuxie stood not far from Wu Xiaoyun, guarding Long Chen behind her. In the face of the fierce onslaught, Yee Wuxie had protected Long Chen in the nick of time.

"Snap!" From within the ruins, stones flew as a red figure buried under a pile of rubble rose, "Cough cough! Cough cough!" Ma Defu coughed violently twice, his complexion turned extremely pale, a trickle of blood at the corner of his mouth. He had reverted to his usual old eunuch appearance, his hair disheveled, suddenly seeming much older than usual.

"Cough cough... I truly didn’t expect... I really didn’t expect that Prince Chenn’s Mansion, seemingly insignificant, hid so many Martial King Realm Experts. His Majesty was right; Prince Chenn is indeed no simple character," Ma Defu said.

"Hmph, you old pervert, let’s see how arrogant you can be now!" Shi Feng coldly snorted as he walked step by step towards Ma Defu.

"Wait a moment!" Long Chen called out to Shi Feng then moved in front of Yee Wuxie.

"Oh?" Shi Feng looked at Long Chen with puzzlement.

"Manager Ma, since you came to capture me for trespassing the Royal Forbidden Land, how is Long Meng now?" Long Chen asked.

"Hehe, Princess Long Meng? When I left, His Majesty had already summoned her to appear before him. As for her current state, I have no idea. Cough cough... cough cough..." Following that, Ma Defu coughed violently twice, placing his hand before his mouth. When he moved it away, his hand was covered with bright red blood.

Gazing at the blood on his hand, Ma Defu then looked at Long Chen with a tragic smile and said, "I didn’t expect that today I would meet my end in Prince Chenn’s Mansion."

"Manager Ma, if you swear loyalty to me, I can ask Young Master Feng to spare your life," Long Chen offered. He only mentioned asking Shi Feng, which plainly meant that regardless of Ma Defu’s loyalty, the final decision rested with Shi Feng.

"Hehe," Ma Defu let out a tragic laugh upon hearing Long Chen’s words, "I, Ma Defu, have served His Majesty all my life. If the day comes that His Majesty passes away and you, Prince Chenn, inherit the throne, then I, Ma Defu, will be your servant. However, I suppose you won’t live to see that day."

"What do you mean by that?" Long Chen asked in alarm, sensing an underlying message in those words.

Hehe... hehehehehe... hehehahaha..." Ma Defu didn’t respond to Long Chen’s question but instead suddenly burst into loud laughter, which then abruptly came to a stop.

"This old pervert, he’s killed himself," Shi Feng commented to Long Chen as he observed Ma Defu. Following that, the Nine Nether Technique activated, the Power of Death and Soul Power absorbed; bright red blood flowed out of Ma Defu’s seven orifices, surging towards Shi Feng and in the blink of an eye, Ma Defu, the Chief Eunuch and Five-star Martial Sovereign Expert, became nothing but a withered corpse.

"Ah, what a pity," Long Chen sighed as he looked at the dried-out corpse of Ma Defu. With him swearing allegiance, Prince Chenn’s Mansion would have gained another Martial King Realm Expert. Moreover, as the Chief Eunuch, Ma Defu was a highly favored figure close to Long Ao, and many knew that Ma Defu was one of Long Ao’s most trusted individuals, with no ordinary status.

If such an old eunuch could have offered assistance, it would have allowed easy access to all updates within the Imperial Palace, after all, he was in charge of all the eunuchs and palace maids in the harem, possessing numerous informers.

"Now even your father is after my life, it seems I really can’t stay in this Imperial City any longer. Just a Chief Eunuch has stepped into the Five-star Martial Sovereign Realm, who knows how many more experts your father has by his side." Shi Feng said to Long Chen, then followed up, "It’s just that little girl Long Meng..."

Shi Feng was cut off halfway when Long Chen quickly interjected, "Young Master Feng, rest assured, Long Meng is after all the biological daughter of my Father Emperor. I believe he wouldn’t harm her. The current situation is not favorable to you, you should leave as soon as possible! I, Long Chen, will take complete care of Lady, and I’ll be waiting for the day you break through Martial Sect and return to the Imperial City."

"Within a year, I shall certainly return!" Shi Feng declared with determination to Long Chen, then looked towards Wu Xiaoyun and tossed him a Jade Scroll.

Wu Xiaoyun caught the Jade Scroll thrown by Shi Feng and pressed it to his forehead to check its content. Instantaneously, his face lit up with joy as he spoke to Shi Feng, "Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!"
