Chapter 564: Chapter 565: The Covenant of Heaven (Second Update)

"How could this be? How could this be?"

Ouyang Lie’s face was blank to the extreme.

The will to fight that had just ignited in his heart, to break through in this desperate situation and end Chu Fengmian’s suppression, to slay Chu Fengmian,

now felt utterly hopeless in front of this single palm strike.

The power contained within this palm was simply such that, no matter how Ouyang Lie resisted, it would be meaningless.

Even if his power were to be multiplied by five or even tenfold, he still couldn’t contend against it.

"Ouyang Lie, this is Tian Shang Assembly. I won’t kill you here, but since you dared to provoke me, you must pay the price! I’ll extract half of your saintly essence blood from your body as compensation to me!"

Chu Fengmian looked at Ouyang Lie and spoke coldly.

This was the Tian Shang Assembly, and killing someone here would indeed provoke conflict with the Tian Shang Assembly.

As one of the top ten forces in the Hun Yuan Continent, Chu Fengmian still had business dealings with the Tian Shang Assembly and obviously wouldn’t want to make an enemy of them for no reason.

But Chu Fengmian wasn’t about to let Ouyang Lie go.

Anyone who dared to provoke Chu Fengmian must pay a price.

Extracting half of the saintly essence blood from Ouyang Lie’s body would reduce his strength to that of an average peak saint, essentially crippling Ouyang Lie’s natural talent and making it impossible for him to overcome the great tribulation of life and death ever again.

For a genius like Ouyang Lie, having his saintly essence blood extracted and his talent ruined was more painful than death itself.

"Little beast, you dare!"

Ouyang Lie, upon hearing Chu Fengmian’s words, suddenly roared loudly.

"If you dare to touch me today, the Heavenly Alliance will most certainly hunt you down. No matter how strong you are, you cannot contend with the Heavenly Alliance!"

"I advise you to be smart, release me quietly, and offer all your wealth as compensation to me, and I might not hold it against you!"

"Heavenly Alliance? What is the Heavenly Alliance? I’ve said before, to me, the Heavenly Alliance is nothing but a group of lost dogs."

Chu Fengmian, in a sudden move, already had his claw reaching towards Ouyang Lie.

"I was going to give you a chance by extracting 50% of your essence blood, but since you refuse to appreciate my generosity and even dare to threaten me, I’ll completely cripple you and take 90% of your essence blood to ensure you’ll never be able to step into the Sea of Void again!"

With a cold snort, Chu Fengmian decisively reached out his claw and lunged towards Ouyang Lie.

"Ah!"

Ouyang Lie screamed frantically as streams of his saintly essence blood were directly extracted by Chu Fengmian.

This saintly essence blood completely gathered in Chu Fengmian’s hands, turning into an incredibly pure Spirit Stone.

Ouyang Lie’s backing from the Heavenly Alliance didn’t concern Chu Fengmian in the slightest; dealing with Ouyang Lie, Chu Fengmian hadn’t even used 30% of his strength.

Even if the Heavenly Alliance members came seeking revenge, Chu Fengmian wasn’t afraid; he would slay any who came his way. This saintly essence blood was a great nourishment and perfect for crafting Spirit Stones.

"Bang!"

Ouyang Lie’s body, after 90% of his saintly essence blood was extracted, collapsed straight to the ground.

His strength was incredibly weak; with 90% of his saintly essence blood taken, Ouyang Lie was virtually reduced to a cripple.

Though still in a saint’s body, he was now the weakest of saints, incapable of even stepping into the Sea of Void.

"Get lost, someone take him away. If I see him again, he will die!"

Chu Fengmian watched Ouyang Lie and spoke coldly.

Several Martial Artists from the alliance hurried out of the crowd, quickly whisking Ouyang Lie away.

These Martial Artists from the alliance had already been scared witless by Chu Fengmian’s display of strength, leaving in a hurry, not daring to contend with Chu Fengmian at all.

All of this was witnessed by countless onlooking Martial Artists, sending a chill down the spine of the spectators who looked upon Chu Fengmian’s face with extreme fear.

"What vicious methods, Ouyang Lie is a high-ranking member of the alliance, said to be on the verge of reaching the limit of Divine Power and about to survive the great calamity of life and death."

"Once Ouyang Lie survives the great calamity of life and death, he would be a high-level being of the life and death realm, and yet such a limitless prodigy has been ruthlessly crippled."

"To have nine-tenths of your essence blood drained is practically no different from becoming a cripple."

One Martial Artist looked towards Chu Fengmian and felt as if their courage was frightened away; the measures taken by Chu Fengmian were just too cruel.

A prodigy with limitless potential was directly disabled and reduced to a cripple; had this not happened before their very eyes, none would dare to believe such an event possible.

"Thank goodness we didn’t provoke this man."

Some Martial Artists felt a lingering fear in their hearts; they were not the only ones seeking to obtain the five Dragon Blood Saint King Pills, Ouyang Lie included.

Many of them initially saw Chu Fengmian, an unfamiliar face, and wanted to extort him as well.

Looking at it now, it seemed to have saved their lives; otherwise, they would be the ones turned into cripples.

"The alliance behind Ouyang Lie is not easy to deal with; Ouyang Lie holds a very high position within it, and it’s very likely that the alliance’s people will take a stand for him. Be careful."

Bai Xuan whispered to Chu Fengmian on the side.

The alliance, after all, is one of the largest forces in the Sea of Void, and even if it does not have many old-timers, the gathering of countless prodigies still forms an extremely terrifying power.

Now that Chu Fengmian had crippled Ouyang Lie and drained his sage essence blood, he had truly torn his face with the alliance.

"No matter, if people from the alliance dare to come, I’ll kill each one of them; if the alliance really doesn’t know what’s good for them, then I will destroy the alliance."

Chu Fengmian spoke coldly,

This wildly audacious declaration chilled the hearts of countless people who heard it.

"He’s insane!"

"This man is a complete lunatic."

"Arrogant, far too arrogant. How can one person hope to shake the alliance?"

"Forget it, in a few days, this man will be dead at the hands of the alliance. Offending the alliance leads only to a dead end."

Countless Martial Artists looked at Chu Fengmian as if he were a madman.

The alliance, one of the largest forces in the Sea of Void, had disciples numbered in the thousands.

How could one person, no matter how powerful, oppose such a large force?

Only Bai Xuan knew clearly that the words of Chu Fengmian always led to action.

Even Bai Xuan was starting to believe that if the alliance truly provoked Chu Fengmian, its destruction would not be far off.

Chu Fengmian always followed through with his words.

Chu Fengmian did not pay attention to the discussions of others, but instead turned his head and spoke to Elder Li.

"Elder Li, I have a business proposition for the Heaven Commerce Guild; I wonder if the guild is interested in this deal?"

"We are, of course, interested."

Elder Li was initially taken aback but then replied.

"Let’s move to a more secluded place to discuss."

Saying so, Elder Li led the way, and in a flash, they arrived inside a palace.
