Chapter 544: Chapter 535: Those Who Want Me Dead, Need Not Live

Shi Feng listened as the soul of that old thing, Chu Zhu, spoke of the Sealing Land and asked, "Since you couldn’t enter, how did they get in?"

"The key to the Sealing Land has been passed down through generations in our Chu Family, always held by the head of our Chu Family.

The previous head of our Chu Family, who was Chu Yue’s father Chu Shang, must have given the key to the Sealing Land to Chu Yue many years ago. When I sent men to kill those traitors, Chu Yue and his group had already unlocked the Sealing Land and entered it."

Chu Zhu’s soul said to Shi Feng, and after finishing, Chu Zhu added, "Kill me! Just kill me! I’ve already said all that should be said." Not wanting to undergo the torment of soul burning again, Chu Zhu begged Shi Feng for death once more.

Afterwards, with a thought from Shi Feng, his Soul Power began to stir, and that soul in his hand instantly shot into his brow. In an instant, Shi Feng’s Soul Power devoured Chu Zhu’s soul.

The strongest force in Starshine City, the most powerful person, a Nine-star Martial Venerable Realm warrior, the head of the Chu Family, Chu Zhu, had thoroughly fallen!

After devouring Chu Zhu’s soul, Shi Feng turned his gaze toward the increasingly fierce blood-colored sea of fire. With another thought, the sea of fire surged towards Shi Feng, like a massive tsunami crashing towards him.

The Tai Family, once the second-ranked power in Starshine City, was nearly wiped out, and those who were lucky enough to survive would no longer be able to make any waves in the future.

The once first-ranked power in Starshine City, the Chu Family, with its strongest, Patriarch Chu Zhu dead and the fall of the other fourteen strongest members besides Chu Zhu, the Chu Family would become a third-rate power in Starshine City after tonight.

As the former top power, the Chu Family, used to strutting around in Starshine City and never taking other forces seriously, had offended many. After tonight, the surviving members of the Chu Family would not have an easy life.

The surging blood-colored sea of fire crazily rushed towards Shi Feng, and soon, the sea of fire in the world was completely devoured by Shi Feng, leaving behind only a great expanse of ruins in the western part of the city, scorched by the fiery flames. There once stood the Tai Mansion, the second-ranked power in Starshine City.

"The Tai Family, in our Starshine City, has completely become a thing of the past," someone lamented while looking at the ruins left by the fire.

"Who would have thought! A family power at its peak, ranked as the first and second in our Starshine City, just fell into such misfortune because of one man!" Another person, looking at the black silhouette still looming in the night sky, also expressed their feelings.

"To the very end, we have no idea who this ruthless man is! Where does he even come from?" someone else said, staring at the black silhouette.

This ruthless man, having destroyed the Tai Family and killed the Chu Family’s unparalleled warrior, had piqued the curiosity of everyone in Starshine City about his identity and origins.

"So it’s him! Lucky I didn’t act recklessly!" In the direction of the City Lord Mansion, City Lord Meng Yuan and the Great Commander Luo Shen were still standing on the rooftop of the City Lord Mansion, looking towards the night.

When Meng Yuan first saw Shi Feng, he found him somewhat familiar. Later, after Shi Feng demonstrated extraordinary strength, Meng Yuan gradually remembered, it was the wanted order issued a few days ago.

Once he had the wanted order brought to him and compared them, Meng Yuan realized who this ruthless man was! This man was the very person who had killed Shenn Aoxin, the lord of Shennhui City, a few days ago!

"Thank goodness we didn’t make a move! So it was Shenn Aoxin who died at his hands!" Great Commander Luo Shen, taking a glance at the wanted poster in Meng Yuan’s hand and then at the figure standing tall in the night sky, said with a sense of relief.

At that time, when there was trouble in Starshine City, Luo Shen had asked City Lord Meng Yuan whether they should intervene, and fortunately, the City Lord had the foresight. If he had decided to get involved, then... maybe he would now share the same fate as the Tai Family and the Chu Family members.

Among the myriad deaths in the world, being burned alive by flames was definitely one of the most brutal ways to die.

"We will not interfere with this matter, but we govern Starshine City. Since such a major incident occurred in Starshine City, we still need to report it to Tianlan Imperial City," Meng Yuan said.

"Hmm," Luo Shen nodded gravely upon hearing Meng Yuan’s words.

...

"Hiss! He! He even annihilated Chu Family Patriarch Chu Zhu! This person... we actually walked with him this afternoon!" On another rooftop, nine young people stood, staring blankly at the figure in the night sky, and after one of them gasped in shock, he spoke in a daze.

These nine were the members of the Tough Mercenary Corps.

"The killing intent in the Demon Beast Mountain Forest reached the heavens, with demon beast corpses scattered everywhere! We thought a powerful Fierce Beast had come down from the mountains. You say... could it be that he killed all those demon beasts lying around?" One of the young men suddenly remembered the corpses they had seen in the Demon Beast Mountain Forest and speculated upon seeing the man riding a white tiger leisurely appear.

"This!"

"That!"

"It’s very likely indeed!"

As soon as the young man spoke, the others also came to a sudden realization. Killing intent that reached the heavens, what kind of Fierce Beast could it have been? Could any be more ferocious than this man! Now recalling, they realized that their escape that afternoon actually stemmed from this very person.

And at that time, someone amongst them had even persuaded him to leave, telling him it was dangerous there... In truth, the real beast, the danger, had always been right beside them!

...

"Is... is it already over?" The young girl Little Yi, who had fled far away after Shi Feng went to battle with Chu Zhu, also stared in astonishment at that silhouette and said.

This afternoon, he had said to her that he would exterminate the Jue Family’s power and the absolute major family, the Tai Family. At that time, she had hardly believed him! Even if she felt he could defeat the Captain and the others, obliterating the Tai Family would still be impossible!

But now, she hadn’t expected that this man—once considered by her and the others as a cultivation failure from a major family—had actually done it.

Not only that, he had not just annihilated the Tai Family, but the Chu Family was almost obliterated as well. The Chu Family Patriarch and fourteen Chu Family powerhouses were dead. Now, there was hardly any difference between the Chu Family’s existence and annihilation.

Immediately after, the young girl saw the black figure tremble and break through space at high speed, flying in her direction.

In an instant, Shi Feng arrived in front of the young girl, stopped, and looked at her, giving a faint smile before saying, "Do you know where the Chu Family is located in Starshine City?"

Startled by Shi Feng’s words, the young girl exclaimed, "You! After annihilating the Tai Family, are you going to annihilate the Chu Family as well? Your killing intent is really too heavy! Actually, many people are innocent."

After the young girl finished speaking, she saw Shi Feng shake his head at her, and he said, "I’m just going to take a look at the Chu Family! Whether they live or die in the end, that is up to them. Those who wish for my death, have no necessity to live in this world!"
