Chapter 186: Chapter 186: Shi Feng, I Was Wrong

Shi Jintian, clad in a golden Python Dragon Robe, stood proudly in the void, his hands clasped behind his back, his long hair fluttering and dancing in the fierce wind, his handsome face exuded an authoritative yet uninhibited aura.

Two soldiers riding Flying Demon Beasts flanked him, gazing together at the increasingly tumultuous waves in the void.

All of a sudden, Shi Jintian felt a jolt of alarm in his heart, a sense of extreme danger surfacing within him, as if he were being targeted by a powerful Fierce Beast.

Shi Jintian withdrew his gaze from the surging waves in the void and scanned the surroundings. Then, he froze, seeing an extremely cold face and an icy stare.

"Not good! This wretch!" A shock went through Shi Jintian’s heart as he quickly turned around, preparing to execute Space-breaking Escape.

"Beast, where do you think you’re going!" Shi Feng bellowed as the Bloodthirsty Sword appeared. He aimed at Shi Jintian and delivered a ferocious Nine Nether Slash.

In the void, a massive wave of white Sword Qi surged violently towards Shi Jintian, intent on smashing the beast to smithereens!

"Ah! Prince! What’s happening!"

"Prince, what’s the matter?" The two soldiers beside Shi Jintian were still absentmindedly staring at the raging waves in the void when they suddenly felt their necks being grasped by a powerful force; turning their heads, they saw that the person grasping them was Shi Jintian himself.

Then, they felt a strange power emanate from Shi Jintian’s hand. Immediately afterwards, they, along with the demon beasts they rode, were thrown into the air by Shi Jintian toward the descending white Sword Qi.

It sounds complicated, but from the moment Shi Jintian, at the Five-star Martial Sovereign Level, grabbed them and then tossed them into the air, it all happened in the blink of an eye.

The two soldiers, who had followed Shi Jintian for years, one of whom had even blocked an enemy blade for Shi Jintian with his body, were now callously thrown into the air by him. They looked on in horror as a huge wave of white Sword Qi slashed at them while the strange energy Shi Jintian had infused into their bodies left them unable to move a muscle, as if they were being petrified.

Indeed, their bodies, as well as the bodies of their demon beasts, began to petrify, starting from their feet and spreading upwards until it covered their entire bodies; the two soldiers and their two demon beasts turned into four stone statues.

"Boom!" The massive wave of white Sword Qi crashed onto the four stone statues. The fierce and domineering Sword Qi was momentarily impeded and then annihilated by the Sword Qi, which then continued its descent.

The four stone statues, although they only blocked the Sword Qi for a breath’s time, gave Shi Jintian the chance to escape beneath it, breaking into a rapid Space-breaking Flight.

"Indeed, he’s nothing but a complete beast, using his own soldiers’ bodies as shields for his survival!" Shi Feng left the Ghost Wolf and gave chase through the void. With his current speed being much faster than the Ghost Wolfs, he thought, "Beast, let’s see where you can run. Today, I shall execute you!" Shi Feng relentlessly pursued Shi Jintian, recalling the pain that the beast had inflicted on his mother’s body and soul, and yelled furiously.

"Shi Feng, I am your father. To kill me is a heinous act that will invite divine punishment!" Shi Jintian, while fleeing, heard Shi Feng’s voice behind him and hurriedly shouted back.

"Get lost! Nine Nether Soul-shocking Seal, shake!" Shi Feng launched a soul attack, hurling the Nine Nether Soul-shocking Seal towards the desperately escaping Shi Jintian.

"Ah!" In mid-flight, Shi Jintian’s head suddenly felt as if it had been struck mightily by a giant hammer. He howled in pain as he looked to the sky, his body faltering and quickly falling towards the ground. "Thump!" He crashed heavily onto the ground, but as a Five-star Martial Sovereign, a high-fall wouldn’t cause him much harm.

When Shi Jintian regained consciousness, he barely lifted his head and was shocked to see a blood-red longsword appearing right in front of him. Its sharp blade emitted chill-inducing sword light.

Following the Blood Sword upward, Shi Jintian saw that ice-cold face, as if it were about to form frost.

Looking at that face, Shi Jintian hurriedly said, "Shi Feng, I am your real father!"

"Shut up!" Shi Feng flung his left hand, sending a fierce gust of powerful energy snapping towards Shi Jintian’s face.

"Slap!" A crisp slap rang out, echoing between heaven and earth. Shi Jintian’s right cheek immediately bore a bright red handprint.

"You! You dare to hit me!" Shi Jintian covered his cheek with his right hand, his face distorted with anger as he glared furiously at Shi Feng. He was the esteemed King of the South; no one had ever treated him this way.

"Slap!" Shi Feng didn’t say a word, and instead his left hand fiercely swung back at Shi Jintian, landing another crisp slap on the same spot as before. The bright red handprint turned even more scarlet.

"Unfilial son! You’re beating your own father. Sooner or later you’ll suffer divine retribution. You won’t die a good death!"

"Hmph, a father? Do you even qualify!" "Slap!" Another sharp crisp sound on Shi Jintian’s face.

"You’ve been away from home for fifteen years, my mother waited painfully for you for fifteen years!" Shi Feng, trembling with rage, then slapped Shi Jintian again.

"Fifteen years, do you know how my mother has suffered through these years? Do you know how much she has endured? And you, this beast, finally came back after fifteen years, only to bring her a letter of divorce!" Shi Feng thought back to that moment when Shi Jintian stood aloof, while his mother Bai Yue’e knelt on the ground, her hair disheveled, like a madwoman, pleading desperately to this beast.

Remembering this, Shi Feng swung the Blood Sword in his hand fiercely, slapping Shi Jintian back onto the ground.

"You heartless and unprincipled beast, my mother has been bedridden for many years, her body already frail, and you, at the Realm of Martial King, still laid your hands on her, nearly taking her life!" Shi Feng said, then forcefully stepped on Shi Jintian’s back, "Crack crack!" The sound of breaking bones popped like fried beans from his body.

"Ah!" Shi Jintian’s head tilted back, his face twisting with pain, veins bulging, and he let out a harrowing howl like a butchered pig.

"Shi Feng, I was wrong, Shi Feng. I truly have been a complete beast before, and now I regret it, I accept my mistake, please forgive me. I’ve wronged you, I’ve wronged Yue’e. These fifteen years, I’ve made you suffer. From now on, I will be willing to do everything to make it up to you! Give me a chance, Shi Feng, after all, I am your biological father!" Shi Jintian pleaded pitifully with Shi Feng, his face full of sorrow and regret, banging his forehead against the ground in repentance.

"You despicable thing, worse than pigs and dogs, stop pretending. Only when you suffer extreme pain and endure torment worse than death, can you cleanse the humiliation in my mother’s heart," Shi Feng said coldly, then flicked his fingers, casting a cluster of blood-red flames that descended upon Shi Jintian!
