Chapter 314: Chapter 314: Son of Hai Batian

"Your father, Hai Batian, died six months ago at the hands of a young man named Shi Feng in Moon City of the Yunlai Empire."

"What!" The last words of the young man in white made the sturdy youth’s eyes bulge; that sentence struck his heart like a bolt from the blue.

"My father..."

The sturdy youth’s face showed disbelief. His own father, who had been strict since his childhood but had always cared for him deeply.

"Tao’er, after following your master up the mountain, you must cultivate well. In the future, bring glory to our Hai Family!" The sturdy youth’s mind was filled with the last words his father had said to him when he had left the Hai Family.

He remembered his father seeing him off to the outskirts of Moon City, watching as he gradually became a distant figure. When he looked back, he saw that tall but somewhat desolate silhouette.

It had been seven years since he said farewell to his father, and during those seven years, he had never seen him again. But now, after seven years, he was hearing the news of his father Hai Batian’s death.

Hai Batian was the same person who had died in Moon City, killed by the Nine Nether Four Extremes Seal wielded by Shi Feng.

Hai Batian had three sons. His eldest son, Hai Xiong, had always been out gaining experience, and his current whereabouts were unknown.

His second son, Hai Tao, this sturdy youth, had been taken as a disciple many years ago by Elder Tian Dang of Heavenly Sweep Mountain, and had been following him ever since, learning his arts.

The most useless third son, Hai Ming, had died at the hands of Shi Feng six months ago, just like Hai Batian.

"Aaaaah!" Hai Tao’s face suddenly twisted in fury, and he let out a roar like a frenzied fierce beast, lifting his head and howling loudly.

"Boom boom boom boom!" With Hai Tao’s roar, the entire tavern started to shake, as if it were about to collapse.

At this moment, Hai Tao’s white-clad senior fellow disciple Yez Shu did not try to stop the enraged Hai Tao. Yez Shu knew that what Hai Tao needed most right now was to vent.

Any person who received news of their father’s death would go mad.

The patrons of the tavern, seeing this master suddenly go berserk, hurriedly fled outside one after another. The previously lively tavern instantly emptied, leaving only the two of them and a young man in a black robe, who continued to sit nearby, leisurely savoring his wine, seemingly indifferent to the shouting.

"Aaaah! Bastard Shi Feng! I will tear you to pieces! Aaaaaah!" Hai Tao continued his crazy roar, screaming, unaware that the Shi Feng he wished to dismember was sitting not far from him, his face calm, still leisurely sipping his wine, as if unaffected by the shouting.

"Aaaaah! Bastard! Come out, I’ll skin you alive and rip out your tendons! Bastard Shi Feng! Bastard! Give me back my father’s life! Aah!"

"Enough with the howling, Young Master Feng is right here!" Suddenly, a leisurely voice echoed throughout the tavern.

Upon hearing this voice, Hai Tao stopped his roaring, abruptly turned around, and glaring at Shi Feng with eyes filled with hatred and ferocity, he said through gritted teeth, "You! You are that beast, Shi Feng!"

"I am indeed Shi Feng, the one who killed your father Hai Batian and wiped out your Hai Family," replied Shi Feng calmly and then added, "I hadn’t expected the Hai Family to have a remnant like you left. Today’s encounter is quite fortuitous; I suppose it’s time to cut the weeds and eradicate the roots."

"Junior brother, run! You are no match for him!" At that moment, the senior brother in white, Yez Shu, urgently addressed Hai Tao.

Yez Shu hailed from the Heavenly Mist Empire and, though he often devoted his time to cultivating Martial Arts on the Heavenly Sweep Mountain, he understood what the Floating Void Sect signified within the Heavenly Mist Empire. Now, having descended from the mountain only to learn that even the Floating Void Sect had been destroyed by this man, Hai Tao, who was merely in the One-star Martial Sect Realm, was naturally no match for him.

Hai Tao, however, totally ignored Yez Shu’s words as if he had not heard them at all. Faced with his father’s murderer, no one else existed in Hai Tao’s eyes except for Shi Feng.

"Ah! Die! Roar!" Hai Tao opened his mouth wide, unleashing an enraged roar, as a violent Sound Wave swept towards Shi Feng like a surging, tumultuous wave, causing the space to shake violently. Tables, chairs, plates, and bowls in front of him exploded into fragments under the force of the Sound Wave, "Bang! Crack! Crack! Crack!" The whole tavern once again began to shudder violently.

Seeing the Sound Wave Power coming towards him, Shi Feng, with both hands behind his back, stepped forward, calmly walking towards the front. The fierce Sound Wave Energy swept over him, but Shi Feng, radiating a frosty white glow, activated the Nine Nether Power to protect his body, effortlessly deflecting the Sound Wave Energy as if basking in a gentle breeze; his hair fluttered with the waves of sound as he approached Hai Tao and Yez Shu step by step.

"Ah! Die!" Hai Tao bellowed, his right fist flaring with intense azure light as he launched a punch towards Shi Feng, who was rapidly closing the distance.

"Boom!" It was as though the sound of waves violently crashing filled the space, a massive blue fist materialized, like a huge azure tidal wave made solid, slamming furiously towards Shi Feng.

"Overestimating your abilities! Your father was like this, and so are you. It seems that even this trait is hereditary," said Shi Feng, filled with scorn. Then, with a "roar," he burst into roaring Blood-colored Flames. Under his control, the Blood-colored Flames swept forward, meeting the oncoming azure fist.

Everything the Blood-colored Flames touched was incinerated, and the huge azure fist that had come hurtling at him was completely consumed by the flames.

The rolling Blood-colored Flames continued to surge forward, burning towards Hai Tao, who was soon to be engulfed by them.

With a "boom," a figure in white shot into the sky; Yez Shu, seeing the menacing situation, no longer concerned himself with Hai Tao. His own escape was imperative. He immediately broke through the rooftop of the tavern and fled into the sky.

"No!" Hai Tao, watching the oncoming Blood-colored Flames, his face flooded with horror, let out an unwilling roar. He could feel that under the power of the Blood-colored Flames, he was utterly powerless to resist; the gap between him and his adversary was unimaginably vast.

Yet he couldn’t die; he had to avenge his father, to avenge the scores of unjustly slain members of the Hai Family; he had to kill this demon with his own hands!

"Ah!" Just as the Blood-colored Flames were about to engulf Hai Tao, he roared once again, and suddenly, his aura soared, his whole body ablaze with an exceptionally intense, brilliant azure light.

In that instant, Hai Tao had ignited his Lifebound Essence, unleashing his mightiest strike—the strongest Martial Skill he had ever practiced!
