Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor
Chapter 268: Gravity Doubled

Chapter 268: Chapter 268: Gravity Doubled

Shi Feng sensed and warned the Bai Family Martial Artists that a murderous aura was coming from the sky; to everyone’s surprise, he even detected it before the three Alchemy Masters of the Bai Family did, who only realized it after Shi Feng alerted them.

This was enough to show that Shi Feng’s soul sensing exceeded that of these three.

At this moment, everyone became vigilant, their faces grave as they stared into the void. The invisible creatures they had encountered before were only found on the ground. Could it be that there were other types of invisible creatures?

"Hmm?" Shi Feng soon sensed that the murderous aura had vanished. However, just because it disappeared didn’t mean that the creature had left; perhaps it was still circling above, merely without any intention to attack, which was why no murderous aura was detected.

Frowning slightly, Shi Feng remained cautiously focused on the blood-colored void.

From sensing the murderous aura in the sky, to alerting the Martial Artists to be on guard, and then the sudden disappearance of that aura, Shi Feng surmised that the intelligence of the creature might not be low.

Murderous intent is a deeply mysterious thing; whenever a living being wishes to attack something else, murderous intent can be released.

And those with keen souls can naturally sense this formless murderous intent, and of course, those who are sensitive are the Alchemy Masters who cultivate Soul Power.

"Young Master Shi, I can no longer feel the murderous aura," said one Alchemy Master.

"Me neither."

"Me neither!"

After that Alchemy Master spoke up, the other two echoed in agreement.

After watching the void for a while, Shi Feng then shouted to everyone present, "Everyone advance, stay ready to attack at all times, and listen for my commands!"

Shi Feng was subconsciously issuing orders to these Martial Artists, who found nothing amiss with his commands. It seemed natural for him to be giving orders at that moment. Following Shi Feng’s directions, they advanced while staying battle-ready.

Advancing together with these warriors, Shi Feng suddenly spun around, his body leaping into the air, soaring above the crowd. The Bloodthirsty Sword already appeared in his hand, and he let out a low shout, "Kill!"

"Screech!" Just then, a strange and piercing cry came from the void. Immediately after, the Bai Family Martial Artists, already prepared to attack, unleashed their Martial Skills: Sword Energy cutting through the air, lightning, fireballs, ice... A dazzling array of energies shot towards the void, toward the spot where Shi Feng’s Bloodthirsty Sword had struck.

"Screech! Screech! Screech! Screech! Screech!" Under the onslaught of the Bai Family Martial Artists, the creature’s desperate and agonized cries echoed incessantly. At that moment, Shi Feng’s left hand, shaped like a claw, also reached forward and grasped at the void, right where the Bloodthirsty Sword pointed and the Bai Family Martial Artists’ attacks converged.

Instantly, Shi Feng’s left hand, which had seized the void, erupted with a fierce and chilling Demon Strange Blood Flame. "Screech!" Amid the burning blood-colored flames, the cry sounded even more heart-wrenchingly pained, like the long wail of a Fierce Ghost, resonating through the void.

Gradually, the cries ceased, and the blood-colored flames in the void also retracted back into Shi Feng’s hand. His figure gracefully descended, landing amidst the people below.

Then, Shi Feng moved back to the front of the crowd and shouted to the more than twenty Martial Artists, "Move!"

"Brother Shi truly lives up to being the Nine Nether’s Inheritor; he is indeed exceptional! Originally, I thought that having you with us meant the Bai Family would be looking after you, but unexpectedly, it turns out that you, Shi Feng, have been looking after us instead," Bai Yunshuang turned his head and sincerely said to Shi Feng, his words coming from the heart. He was aware that if Shi Feng hadn’t sensed the murderous aura from the void, not to mention the entire Bai Family’s demise, losing several Martial Artists would have been inevitable.

"It’s just mutual cooperation," Shi Feng replied indifferently to Bai Yunshuang. For him, traveling together with the Bai Family was naturally a matter of cooperation.

Hearing Shi Feng’s words and seeing his indifferent demeanor, Bai Yunshuang’s warm smile faded. It seemed that this man had no interest in forming a bond with him. Usually, in the Heavenly Mist Empire, those who knew his identity would want to befriend or curry favor with him, but this man was different. After all, he hailed from the Nine Nether Lineage; in terms of status, his own was nothing in front of Shi Feng. Perhaps, in others’ eyes, the mighty and vast Bai Family was nothing in front of Shi Feng.

Seeing that Shi Feng had no desire to befriend him, Bai Yunshuang, who was not one to be overly pushy, after that, did not continue to speak much with Shi Feng.

The group of more than twenty Martial Artists continued toward the mountain summit. Along the way, they encountered several attacks from mysterious invisible creatures, but every time, thanks to Shi Feng’s keen Soul Power, they sensed the danger in advance and averted disaster.

With Shi Feng present, the three Bai Family Alchemy Masters had become completely redundant, serving no actual purpose. Shi Feng’s soul sensing was something they could scarcely compare with; almost every time, he detected murderous intent long before they did.

Led by Shi Feng’s preemptive strikes, followed by the other Martial Artists’ attacks, they managed to kill the mysterious invisible creatures. Eventually, the warriors realized that these creatures were not limited to rat-like or bird-like calls, but also had sounds resembling tiger roars, cat screams, wolf howls, and even some peculiar cries they had never heard before, indicating a variety of unseen creatures.

Shi Feng displayed his prowess time and again, and now the gaze of each Martial Artist towards this young man had completely changed from when they first met him—some even looked on with reverence.

Earlier, when Bai Yunshuang invited Shi Feng to join him, and Shi Feng responded indifferently without thanking Bai Yunshuang, those Martial Artists who thought Shi Feng did not know how to behave now felt slapped in the face by their own thoughts upon seeing his capabilities. They all knew clearly that without Shi Feng, some among them might have been left behind forever on this mountain—and those "some" might have included themselves.

"This person is indeed extraordinary, worthy of being the Great Emperor’s Inheritor. No wonder even Bu Fan died at his hands. It’s just a pity that he seems to have no intention of making friends with me," Bai Yunshuang muttered to himself while walking next to Shi Feng.

All of a sudden, as they walked, the Martial Artists felt their bodies tighten as a stronger gravitational force bore down upon them. Caught off guard, many of the Bai Family Martial Artists were forced to bend their bodies, then gradually straightened up again.

"As I thought!" Shi Feng murmured to himself, sensing the gravity. Just as he suspected, the closer they got to the mountain summit, the greater the difficulties they would face. The gravity had now reached twenty times its normal level, and he still didn’t know what magnitude it would reach as they approached the summit!
