Chapter 157: Chapter 158: Ambush (2nd Update) (Please Favorite, Tip, and Recommend)

"Gratitude?"

Saint Heir’s eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp killing intent.

The killing intent on his body erupted completely, a massive wave of it bearing down oppressively towards Chu Fengmian.

Under this tide of killing intent, even the hearts of the numerous Martial Artists nearby couldn’t help but feel fear.

Although they weren’t the target of this killing intent, each one of them felt a crippling terror within their hearts.

For Martial Artists, what’s most important when facing an opponent isn’t the gap in strength, but the impact on one’s mind.

If a Martial Artist loses the will to fight, they would fail in combat against even weaker opponents if they lacked the desire to engage in battle.

Under the Saint Heir’s killing intent, fear took hold of everyone present. If they were to confront the Saint Heir, they probably wouldn’t even have the courage to strike back.

"Killing Heart Demon Technique, a magic technique from the Nine Devil City; you think such a technique can sow a shadow in my heart?"

Chu Fengmian furrowed his brows, feeling a trace of fear arising within him.

This fear was not sudden, but rather it was a result of the Cultivation Technique practiced by the Saint Heir— the Killing Heart Demon Technique from the Nine Devil City.

The Saint Heir’s killing intent naturally influenced other Martial Artists’ hearts, planting fear and leaving them powerless to resist when facing him.

Such a Killing Heart Demon Technique was exceptionally formidable, countless times stronger than the techniques of Mu Yuanhuo, but to Chu Fengmian, what use was this Killing Heart Demon Technique?

With a cold snort in his heart, the Battle Dragon Technique was activated, quickly dispelling the sliver of fear within Chu Fengmian.

Having lived two lifetimes, his spirit was exceptionally resolute. The Killing Heart Demon Technique had no chance of affecting Chu Fengmian.

"I’ll give you one last chance, submit to me!"

The Crown Prince let out a cold snort, his killing intent bursting forth completely.

Under the threat of this killing intent, it was likely that even ordinary Martial Artists wouldn’t be able to resist and would choose submission.

"Wishful thinking in broad daylight!"

Chu Fengmian’s voice rang out coldly.

"Just with this level of killing intent, you think you can influence my mind? This Killing Heart Demon Technique of yours is not yet perfected. Even if the Killing Heart’s old demon himself was here, he wouldn’t dare say he could affect me! What is this to me?"

Chu Fengmian burst into laughter as he spoke.

"Battle!"

Then, the power of the Battle Dragon Technique was fully unleashed from Chu Fengmian, and a supreme dragon’s might resonated.

With a "roar," the sound of a Dragon Roar rang out.

Around Chu Fengmian, it was as if a true dragon manifested, dispelling all the surrounding killing intent.

A mere magic technique was no match for the might of a dragon. The dragon’s might exuding from Chu Fengmian was that of an ancient battle dragon, filled with endless battle spirit.

At the sound of the dragon’s roar, the fear in the hearts of many Martial Artists around was instantly scattered, returning them to clarity.

"I seem to have fallen into fear just now."

"This Saint Heir indeed possesses demonic techniques! We were almost influenced by his killing intent."

"Fortunately, Chu Fengmian took action in time and awakened us."

Many Martial Artists around gradually came to their senses, expressing their gratitude.

Had Chu Fengmian not awakened them, they might never have overcome this obstacle, leaving them powerless in the face of the Saint Heir.

The Saint Heir’s murderous intent, though aimed at Chu Fengmian, was subtly intended to influence all the other martial artists, which was malicious to the extreme.

"Damn kid, he actually ruined my plan!"

Seeing the martial artists around him regaining their lucidity, his expression became exceedingly sinister.

He originally wanted to use Chu Fengmian to exert murderous intent, making all the onlooking martial artists from Wusheng Academy and the four great sects succumb to his Heart Demon.

When these martial artists grew stronger, they would all feel intimidated by the Saint Heir, and then, who among the younger generation would be a match for the Saint Heir?

But Chu Fengmian’s move not only left him unaffected, but it also exposed the Saint Heir’s murderous intent.

"This child must not be spared!"

A surge of killing intent gleamed in the Saint Heir’s eyes as he looked at Chu Fengmian.

The strongest aspect of his Killing Heart Demon Technique was to plant a Heart Demon in the depths of a martial artist’s mind silently, and if successful, even slightly weak-willed martial artists could fall under his control.

However, Chu Fengmian’s Dragon Roar had shattered all his schemes, proving to be the nemesis of his Killing Heart Demon Technique. Should Chu Fengmian be allowed to grow, he would undoubtedly become a severe threat.

Secretly, he had already signaled Xue Wuye beside him, preparing him to take action and eliminate Chu Fengmian.

"Saint Heir, we must not, our Black Market has just reconciled with Wusheng Academy and the four great sects. If we act against a disciple of Wusheng Academy now, both Wusheng Academy and the four great sects will rally against us."

Xue Wuye whispered secretly.

"Let’s wait until we enter the Holy Land. The young master can personally take care of this kid then. His realm is just at the seventh level of Body Tempering, and once inside the Holy Land, his death is assured."

"Fine, I shall endure this time and spare his life today, but once we’re in the Holy Land, I’ll kill the kid!"

The Saint Heir said with a cold face.

This secret communication between the Saint Heir and Xue Wuye, though very covert, could not escape Chu Fengmian’s ears.

His Spiritual Sense was terrifying; any secret communications could not evade Chu Fengmian’s Spiritual Sense.

"To think about killing me in the Holy Land? We’ll see who ends up killing whom."

Chu Fengmian thought to himself with a cold laugh.

Outside, Chu Fengmian might still have reservations, not daring to fully exert his power, but once inside the Holy Land, a completely sealed space.

Even if Chu Fengmian turned heaven upside down, no one outside would know. That would be the time for Chu Fengmian to truly demonstrate his strength.

The Saint Heir first wanted Chu Fengmian to submit, then sought to secretly plot against him; without killing him, Chu Fengmian would find no peace.

"Young man, you’re quite something. It seems that your claim to be the second Zhi Lingtian is more than just talk, but talent often incites envy. The Holy Land is full of dangers; you must be careful not to die there."

The Saint Heir’s words were brimming with undisguised murderous intent, causing Elder Yang to frown.

But after all, he was in the presence of the Black Market Saint Heir, and Elder Yang did not feel it was his place to comment.

Having said his piece, the Saint Heir left, waiting for the Holy Land to open.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now that everyone has arrived, let’s open the Holy Land."

It was Fang Xiandao who spoke first.

Now that representatives from Wusheng Academy, the four great sects, and the Black Market had all arrived.

Indeed, it was time to open the Holy Land.

"Good!"

Everyone responded in unison.
