Chapter 282 Preparing to Leave

Chapter 282: Chapter 282 Preparing to Leave

Not far away, Princess Zi Yun, who Shi Feng had sent flying with a shove, steadied herself in the Void. Seeing Shi Feng’s Bloodthirsty Sword pierce into Lin Yuexin’s chest, she widened her eyes in disbelief. Witnessing Lin Yuexin being stabbed sent a surreal feeling through her, as if she were dreaming—all the moments shared with Lin Yuexin flashed rapidly through her mind.

"No! No! Sister Yuexin!" Princess Zi Yun cried out in agony, the heart-wrenching scream tearing through the air, her body shooting towards Shi Feng and Lin Yuexin as fast as lightning.

And Lin Yuexin, with Shi Feng’s sword plunged into her chest, her face contorted in pain—her delicate body, seemingly gentle, coveted by countless men to lie with in sleep, now deflated like a punctured ball, rapidly withering away.

"AAAAHHHH!" In the blood-colored forest, Martial Artists howled in frenzy. The goddess of their hearts, the exquisite body they fantasized about day and night, was withering away before their eyes, too shocking to accept.

"What a pity, such a pity! This deviant is so brutally bloodthirsty, with no compassion for beauty, no cherish for jade—such a beautiful woman, with such a graceful body. Why not take pleasure from her before killing her? Before he executes her, I’d rather enjoy her to my heart’s content. Who knows, I might even swear eternal loyalty to him!"

"Ah! My goddess! My beautiful goddess! Her stunning face and lovely body are rapidly aging, you beast, he’s nothing short of a beast." When some Martial Artists saw Lin Yuexin’s beautiful face and graceful body suddenly become shriveled and old, like a crone who had lived for thousands of years, the transformation of their goddess was too hard to bear, and they bellowed as if mad.

"Dongfang Jun is dead, Huoo Yuan is dead, Jii Doujue is dead, Wei Cheng is dead, and so many young geniuses of my Heavenly Mist Empire have fallen at the hands of this Evil Demon, and now even Lin Yuexin... This is truly an exceptional Evil Demon. If he’s allowed to continue growing in the future, perhaps my Heavenly Mist Empire will have no one who can stand against him, we might even have to reverence this man one day!"

"Who exactly is this person, where does he come from!" A Martial Artist pondered, filled with doubts. Such an Evil Demon had never been heard of before.

After devouring Lin Yuexin’s Power of Death, blood, and Soul Power, Shi Feng’s Soul Power had reached the Six-stage level. He was supposed to advance to the Two-star Martial Sect Realm in Martial Arts, but sadly, in the last battle, Lin Yuexin, Huoo Yuan, and Wei Cheng had burned their Lifebound Essence, dropping a star in the Martial Arts Realm, and failing to meet Shi Feng’s increasing energy needs.

Pulling the Bloodthirsty Sword from Lin Yuexin’s chest, her shriveled body, clad in white, plummeted towards the ground under the force of gravity. At that moment, a purple figure shot forward and caught the desiccated corpse, cradling it in an embrace.

"Sister Yuexin... Sister Yuexin..." Looking at the unrecognizable body in her arms that had become utterly alien, Princess Zi Yun mustered all her strength, tilting her head to the sky, she let out a heart-wrenching, agonized cry: "No!" Her voice was piercingly mournful, echoing through the heavens and the earth, as two streaks of tears slid down Princess Zi Yun’s cheeks. Once acquainted, once known, once loved, later she had cruelly betrayed her for a man, and yet, that same man had personally ended the life of someone she had once loved...

The battle had come to an end. Shi Feng stood proudly in the blood-colored Void, his long hair flowing, his cape fluttering behind his Blood-colored Battle Armor, looking majestic, like a Blood-colored War God, utterly indifferent to everything, including the heartbroken screams of Princess Zi Yun.

Forming a Sword technique with his hands, Shi Feng used the refining method taught by the Blood Demon to reforge the Bloodthirsty Sword. As the Hand Seal moved, the Bloodthirsty Sword quickly shrank just like the previous Blood-colored Stele, until it was the size of a fingertip, disappearing into Shi Feng’s right middle finger, with a sword pattern of the Bloodthirsty Sword emerging on it.

Afterward, Shi Feng began to refine the Blood-colored Battle Armor anew. Quickly, a blood-colored light flashed on the armor and disappeared into Shi Feng’s body, while a black robe re-emerged on him, billowing in the wind.

The battle was over, all who had to be killed had been slain. Glancing above at the Blood-colored Peak, that giant punch from the giant had created a massive Blood-colored Void. Now, it seemed there was an additional passage back to the world of Tianheng Continent.

However, Shi Feng saw that the passage was healing, albeit slowly. It probably wouldn’t be long before the passage completely sealed itself, making his departure from this place yet another problem. Besides, it was unclear whether there were any other exits from this world.

If he activated the Blood-colored Stone Stele with the Power of One-star Martial Emperor, he should be able to blast open another escape route from this place. But the Blood-colored Stone Stele could only be activated three times, and Shi Feng was not willing to use it now.

Shi Feng contemplated that if he encountered his talented Eight-level Alchemist disciple, Xiao Tianyi, in the future, he would have him examine the Blood-colored Stone Stele to see if it could be completely repaired.

The Stele was now shattered, its Grade obscured to Shi Feng, but the fact that it could still unleash the Power of One-star Martial Emperor three times, despite being so damaged, spoke volumes of its extraordinary nature. It surely belonged to at least the Ninth Grade Emperor Level, or perhaps even the Divine Grade.

Not lingering at this Blood-colored Peak any longer, Shi Feng’s figure shifted, breaking through space to depart. However, he didn’t head towards the portal above carved by the giant’s punch but instead flew towards the blood-colored sea, retracing his original path.

Long Meng, Hong Yue, and Little Moli were still arranged by him in that cave. Even if Shi Feng was to leave this place, he had to pick up these three women first, taking them with him as he departed together with them.

..

Outside Frost City in the Heavenly Mist Empire, a congregation of influential figures had gathered near the periphery of the Blood-colored Void, growing in number as time passed. The heads of the Four Great Families from the Heavenly Mist Empire, all but the head of the Bai Family, had arrived.

Dongfang Jun of the Dongfang Family, Huoo Yuan from the Huoo Family, and Jii Doujue from the Jii Family, were the heirs apparent in the hearts of these three family heads. Their talent was unsurpassed within their respective families, and even the family heads themselves couldn’t compare to these heirs in their own youthful days.

Interestingly, such prodigious talents seemed as if the Four Great Families of the Heavenly Mist Empire had somehow conspired to have one in each family at the same time. But now, apart from Bai Yunshuang of the Bai Family, the talented heirs of the other three families had their Soul Stones shattered almost simultaneously in a strangely coincidental timing.

It was originally thought that these heirs would grow up to lead their families to even greater glory. But unexpectedly, all three perished in this mysterious and unknown Blood-colored Void.
