Chapter 542: Chapter 533: The Power of Eighth-stage Saint-level!

Facing the onslaught of the Golden Light Fist, Shi Feng launched a soul attack, the Nine Nether Soul-Shaking Seal, furiously striking towards that old geezer Chu Zhu.

"Ah!" Chu Zhu, who had been advancing with fierce momentum, suddenly trembled under Shi Feng’s soul attack. His face twisted in a visage of pain and ferocity as he let out a shrill howl to the sky.

During this period, constant brutal skirmishes in the Demon Beast Mountain Range, devouring numerous demon beast souls, had elevated Shi Feng’s soul power to the Seventh-stage Venerable Peak. In this time, he had officially stepped into the Eighth-stage Saint-level.

Under the Eighth-stage Saint-level Nine Nether Soul-Shaking Seal, Chu Zhu’s soul had suffered a severe blow.

In the realm of martial arts, Shi Feng had previously tested his mettle against Chu Zhu, an old fogey in the Nine-star Martial Venerate Realm. Now in the Seven-star Martial Venerate Realm, Shi Feng attacked with the Full Moon Scimitar. Although he possessed the power to fight that old man, it would not be easy to kill him in martial combat.

"Spurt!" Moments later, Chu Zhu came to his senses from Shi Feng’s Nine Nether Soul-Shaking Seal. Soul severely wounded, a mouthful of fresh blood burst forth violently, and at that moment, his face was deathly pale, looking as if he had aged over a decade at once.

"Ah!" Having suffered a severe soul attack from Shi Feng and regained consciousness, Chu Zhu realized that his opponent was not to be trifled with. His face showed shock and even panic.

Shi Feng, looking at Chu Zhu, let a cold smile appear on his face beneath the Ghost Face Mask.

"What the hell are you? Your soul attack is so powerful!" Chu Zhu, facing Shi Feng, shouted deeply.

In response to Chu Zhu’s questioning, Shi Feng coldly laughed and said, "Who this young master is doesn’t concern an old thing like you! Tonight, you meddled in this young master’s affairs, sought my life, thus, you have no reason to live!"

"Arrogant! Insolent!" Chu Zhu heard Shi Feng’s words and let out a boom like thunder, "I am the revered Chu Family Patriarch, a Nine-star Martial Venerable, how could I fall to a green youth like you! Go to hell!"

As Chu Zhu shouted, his figure suddenly shot back and then he cried out loudly, "Chu Family warriors, battle!"

The bell-like "battle" cry echoed through the night sky, and upon hearing Chu Zhu’s call, fourteen Chu Family martial artists, following his command without hesitation, turned into fourteen dazzling lights and shot out towards Shi Feng.

Retreating backward, Chu Zhu, after putting some distance between himself and Shi Feng, suddenly squatted in the void, his hands coming together to form a handprint.

Then, Chu Zhu’s hands fluttered swiftly, with golden hand shadows flickering incessantly and a stream of gold tadpole-like runes floated out from his handprint, dancing and revolving around Chu Zhu.

As the fourteen Chu Family martial artists neared Shi Feng, in an instant, a torrent of Martial Skills burst forth towards Shi Feng—blades, sword shadows, handprints, fists, gusts, and waves, like a tempestuous storm. Fourteen Venerable Level martial artists launched their attacks, their frenzied power, and dazzling lights causing the entire night sky to rage as they furiously bombarded Shi Feng.

Confronting the assault of the fourteen Chu Family martial artists, Shi Feng might as well have been oblivious. His gaze pierced through the ferocious power of the incoming attacks, looking past the fourteen Chu Family martial artists, focusing on Chu Zhu, who was forming seals with his hands, readying to launch another attack.

With a single thought, a fierce Blood-colored Blaze burst forth from Shi Feng’s body. As the Blood-colored Blaze emerged, it instantly swept out from him, engulfing the violent forces bombarding him.

At the same time, another soul attack from Shi Feng, the Nine Nether Soul-Shaking Seal, once again struck towards that old geezer.

"Ah!" The soul attack was invisible and traceless. Chu Zhu originally performed the Sealing Handprint, intending to launch an overwhelmingly powerful strike and allow his Chu Family Martial Artists to buy time, or even to serve as cannon fodder. However, he had not anticipated that, before he could complete the Sealing, Shi Feng’s Nine Nether Soul-Shaking Seal once again arrived, striking Chu Zhu’s soul with brutal force.

"Ah!" Chu Zhu’s soul suffered another heavy blow, once more emitting a scream like that of a pig being slaughtered. The golden Runes that had been swirling around his body immediately started to dissipate.

On the other side, the Blood-colored Blaze had turned into a Blood-colored Sea of Fire in the night sky. The strikes launched by the fourteen Chu Family Martial Artists were instantly devoured by the Blood Flames, and they were burned to ashes within.

The Blood-colored Blaze, after consuming the forces that struck it, then continued to burn towards the Chu Family Martial Artists.

"Ah!" Seeing the Blood-colored Blaze consuming their own power and then burning towards them, sensing the immense power of the blaze, each of the Chu Family Martial Artists turned pale and not only stopped moving forward but also retreated, beginning a frantic escape.

"Hmph!" Shi Feng looked at the Chu Family members fleeing like mice from a cat and let out a cold snort. Immediately afterwards, a six-star Martial Venerate Realm powerhouse who had fled far away was targeted by Shi Feng’s soul attack, which blasted toward the man.

"Ah!" Another wail of agony resounded through the dark night sky.

"Nine Nether Soul-Shaking Seal! Shake!"

"Shake!"

"Shake!"

"Shake!"

At that moment, Shi Feng’s Nine Nether Soul-Shaking Seal started to pummel the Chu Family Martial Artists one after another.

In the night sky, a succession of piercing, agonizing screams resounded ceaselessly. The eerie sounds, one after another, totaled fourteen screams coming from the mouths of the fourteen Chu Family Martial Artists.

The fourteen Chu Family Martial Artists, their souls heavily damaged, before their consciousness could fully recover, were engulfed by the surging Blood-colored Blaze, like wild beasts rampaging through the primeval times, in the night sky.

When the Chu Family Patriarch Chu Zhu regained his senses after experiencing a violent soul barrage, he saw that the fourteen strong family members he had brought had vanished without a trace. In front of him in the night sky, there was now a sea of Blood-colored Flame fiercely burning, turning the whole sky blood red.

"No! My Chu Family’s warriors! My fourteen strong Chu Family warriors!" Looking at that sea of Blood-colored Flame, Chu Zhu suddenly, like a madman, let out an anguished roar.

These fourteen Chu Family Martial Artists were the most powerful in the Chu Family. With all fourteen gone, Chu Zhu, as the Family Head, felt his heart being viciously slashed by a knife.

Yet, within his madness, Chu Zhu’s mind had not completely collapsed. He had come to understand that this young man he had encountered was a being far beyond his ability to provoke.

The fourteen Chu Family strong had died, but Chu Zhu determinedly did not want to die; he absolutely wanted to continue living! As a Nine-star Martial Venerable, he had many more years to live!
