Chapter 423: Chapter 423: The Death God Is Always By Your Side

Shi Feng and the Kirin King conversed, and the oppressive atmosphere lightened significantly. Afterwards, the two of them delved deeper into the Death Forbidden Land together. Perhaps both were fortunate because, along the way, they stumbled upon two more corpses, and these bodies were also intact, yet their souls were shattered. Nevertheless, Shi Feng and his companion remained unscathed despite reaching this point.

Following his principle of not being wasteful, Shi Feng drained the blood from the two corpses as well, leaving behind two more ghastly mummies in the Death Forbidden Land. However, the Power of Death that had emerged at the time of their deaths had already dissipated.

"Ah!" Suddenly, a piercing scream of a woman erupted right beside the two of them, startling Shi Feng and the Kirin King!

"What is this?"

"Damn it!"

Both the Kirin King and Shi Feng exclaimed almost at the same time, turning their gazes to the palm of Shi Feng’s right hand. Piao Xueyan’s soul, just moments ago, had been silently extinguished, shattering right there in the center of Shi Feng’s palm.

The Kirin King, with the strength of his Soul Power, typically could not hear the voice of a soul; yet, this time, eerily, he could.

As the dreadful scream faded away, the two men continued to stare blankly at the palm of Shi Feng’s hand. For a moment, the sinister and mysterious space once again fell into a terrible silence.

After a while, the Kirin King finally spoke up, "Young Master Feng, was it Piao Xueyan’s soul? Has it been destroyed?"

"Yes!" Shi Feng nodded and said, "And, with the sensitivity of my Soul Power, I didn’t feel any energy fluctuations at all. Piao Xueyan’s soul was just... extinguished!"

Indeed, just as Piao Xueyan had previously suggested, within the Death Forbidden Land, one might never know what had happened, and one could potentially die without a whisper.

"If that force had destroyed myself just now, would I turn into a corpse like the ones we’ve seen before, or like Piao Xueyan, with my soul destroyed?" Thinking of this, Shi Feng’s expression grew increasingly solemn, feeling that death might be accompanying him at any moment.

"Piao Xueyan’s soul has been destroyed! How are we to search for Wushuang’s location where she’s trapped!" Then, another worrisome issue followed closely behind.

A thick fog enveloped the Death Forbidden Land, and there was no way to tell how vast it was or where exactly Yuel Wushuang was.

As Piao Xueyan had mentioned, Yuel Wushuang was trapped within an Array, but so far, Shi Feng and the Kirin King had only encountered a gray-white fog, ruins, and three dead bodies—no sign of any magical formation.

"Young Master Feng, have you noticed something?" The Kirin King spoke again, addressing Shi Feng.

After hearing what the Kirin King had to say, Shi Feng shook his head and asked, "What did you find?"

"Logically speaking, over the years in the Death Forbidden Land, countless people have died here, but after we entered, we only found three corpses of martial artists who entered around the same time as us. However, we saw not a single corpse of those who died before. Where have all those bodies gone?" Kirin King spoke slowly to Shi Feng.

The deeper they ventured into the Death Forbidden Land, not only did they fail to find anything, but the eeriness and strangeness within gradually intensified. The true nature of this deadly place was unfathomable—what was it that existed here!

"Young Master Feng, look!" Just at that moment, Kirin King suddenly shouted aloud. Right in front of him, under a shattered rock, he spotted a fist-sized Silver Stone being pressed down.

"Haha, it’s Silver Stone, it’s the Silver Stone!" Seeing this Silver Stone, Kirin King suddenly seemed as if he had grabbed a lifeline, his right hand reached out claw-like, and the shattered rock pressing down the Silver Stone immediately broke apart. Immediately after, the Silver Stone shot toward the palm of Kirin King.

A liberated smile appeared on Kirin King’s face as though he had been relieved from a heavy burden. His entire being seemed to lighten at that very instant.

Watching the Silver Stone grow closer to his palm, Kirin King clenched his right hand. But then, as his face burst with joy, the Silver Stone suddenly veered away from his palm and shot straight upwards.

At that moment, a yellow figure appeared above Kirin King. The person reached out and grasped at the Silver Stone, snatching it into his palm, "Haha! Good! Very good! Silver Stone! Hahaha, hahahaha!"

Laughter, hearty and triumphant, echoed from above, followed by the yellow figure moving swiftly to land before Shi Feng and Kirin King.

"Court death!" Seeing the yellow figure and watching the person snatch away the Silver Stone, Shi Feng’s expression instantly darkened, his face aflame with anger. His hands formed seals, and he pushed forward with his right palm, blasting out a deathly white handprint from his palm toward the yellow figure.

Nine Nether Absolute Evil Seal!

"Hmph!" The figure in the yellow robe, facing away from Shi Feng and Kirin King, seemed to have eyes on their back, sensing the Nine Nether Absolute Evil Seal flying toward them—the fat man in the robe let out a contemptuous snort, "Just two One-star Martial Venerates, and you think you can cause waves before me? You’re simply seeking death!"

With those arrogant and domineering words falling, the fat man in the yellow robe suddenly flickered, turning to face Shi Feng, and with a palm of his own, met the oncoming deathly white handprint.

With a loud ’boom’, the fat man’s previously condescending face suddenly changed, displaying shock. After shattering the Nine Nether Absolute Evil Seal with his palm, his figure continuously retreated until he had backed three to four meters away in the ruins before abruptly halting.

"Three-star Martial Venerable Power!" The fat man who had stopped in his tracks exclaimed. He appeared to be only around thirty years old, yet his Martial Arts Cultivation had astonishingly reached the Three-star Martial Venerable Realm!

Even though he used the power of a Three-star Martial Venerable to shatter Shi Feng’s Nine Nether Absolute Evil Seal without his full strength, he was still forced back three to four meters. The force of the attack was clearly close to his own.

That is why, when he looked toward Shi Feng, his expression revealed surprise. A One-star Martial Venerate was able to unleash the power of the Three-star Martial Venerable Realm, which meant this One-star Martial Venerate youth must be practicing a powerful Martial Skill or Cultivation Technique, even capable of challenging beyond his level.

"Humph!" Shi Feng’s face was full of murderous intent, looking coldly at the fat man in front with a face full of flesh, and he said icily, "Hand over the Silver Stone, and you can keep your corpse intact. Just draining all the blood from your body will suffice. Otherwise, I’ll leave you without a trace!"
