Chapter 267: Chapter 267: Smart People Die Fast

They had now reached the exit, and he was trying to devise a way to shake off the control of the Green Robed Elder. And in the process, eliminate Liu Qiang.

It was also necessary to eliminate Liu Qiang because this person knew too many secrets between Chu Feng and Han Dong.

"Ancestor..." Liu Qiang was trying to use his old trick again, turning around to fawn on the Green Robed Elder. He wanted to leverage the Green Robed Elder to pressure Chu Feng.

"To open this door, two people are required!" Han Dong spoke up.

Before entering the Demon Suppression Tower, Han Dong held absolute say. Whatever he said to do, the Green Robed Elder would hardly object.

"You two go together!" the Green Robed Elder commanded coldly.

In his eyes, both Liu Qiang and Chu Feng were just cannon fodder for exploring the road. Even Han Dong, once he outlived his usefulness, would also be fodder.

"Damn!"

Liu Qiang cursed secretly and had actually forgotten about Han Dong’s presence. Only now did he remember that Han Dong had consumed Chu Feng’s Poison Pill and was under Chu Feng’s control.

"I have to report this to the Green Robed Elder; it will surely spell the end of that Chu bastard!"

Liu Qiang was incredibly cunning and acted upon his thoughts.

He immediately said to the Green Robed Elder with a serious tone, "Ancestor..." But before he could finish, a vicious light burst from the Green Robed Elder’s one eye, glaring fiercely at him.

"Stop your prattle and go now!"

The Green Robed Elder probably mistook Liu Qiang’s plea as reluctance to explore the path.

Startled, Liu Qiang retracted his neck and swallowed his words, reluctantly following Chu Feng towards the Secret Door.

Arriving at the Stone Gate, Chu Feng stared carefully at the Secret Door, searching for the mechanical triggers.

In his hand, he held a Golden Rune Body Protection Elixir, which could only withstand a full-force strike from a Peak Great Sword Master. Though its protective capability was limited, it was still somewhat useful.

After careful inspection, Chu Feng had identified where the mechanical trigger was.

It was an Eight Diagrams Gate, with the gate of life and the gate of death.

A complete Eight Trigrams Array has the gates of Rest, Life, Harm, Block, Scene, Death, Shock, and Open. Naturally, this Secret Door wouldn’t be made so intricate due to its limited space.

And there was only one gate.

Upon close examination, Chu Feng found that it seemed to have only one gate but was composed of two doors, like a pair of French doors.

One was the gate of life, and the other the gate of death.

Liu Qiang was inherently suspicious and exceedingly treacherous, venomous. It would be beneath Chu Feng to kill him with his own hands.

Now was an excellent opportunity.

"Boy, you’ve been putting on airs for so long, have you figured out the mechanism yet?" the Green Robed Elder barked harshly.

"Found it!"

Throughout the journey, Chu Feng had displayed exceptional skills in breaking through mechanisms, even earning a few admiring glances from the Green Robed Elder.

But don’t ever think that the Green Robed Elder would respect or appreciate him for that. When it came to using him as cannon fodder, he was ruthless. And if Chu Feng was unwilling, he would be met with fierce threats immediately.

The Green Robed Elder would threaten to chop off Chu Feng’s limbs, slice off his ears, gouge out his eyes, and such.

Within this narrow, enclosed space, Chu Feng naturally wouldn’t clash head-on with a Sword Saint. Once they got out of the secret path, he would settle the score with this perverted Green Robed Elder.

"Liu Qiang, come press down on this mechanism button on the right side, they must be pressed at the same time to be effective!" Chu Feng ordered Liu Qiang unceremoniously.

"You want me to press here? Then which mechanism button will you press?" Liu Qiang was very wary, his eyes fixed closely on Chu Feng.

"F*ck, I’m not that stupid. That Chu bastard will definitely give me the dangerous button to press. I’ve got to switch places with him," Liu Qiang thought to himself smugly.

Hesitating for a moment, Chu Feng finally pointed to another mechanism button on the opposite side, "Here, I’ll press the one on the left!"

"Heh heh, that’s the one I should press, you press this one!" Liu Qiang swooped in, darting over to the spot.

Chu Feng had already anticipated Liu Qiang’s reaction.

It was like that joke about the airplane accident. While flying at high altitude, the plane encountered a critical malfunction and was about to crash. The captain and crew immediately instructed the passengers to strap on parachutes and jump to escape. But there was one parachute missing on the plane.

In other words, one person would be without a parachute and would be smashed to death upon impact.

At that moment, a clever person on the plane grabbed a bag, slung it on his back, waved to the remaining passengers and said, "May God bless you all, I’ll leave first!" To prevent others from snatching his parachute, he recklessly jumped out of the cabin.

Among the five people left, an elderly person took out all the parachute packs and distributed them to everyone.

In the end, each of the five people received a parachute pack.

"What was that clever person just carrying?" a passenger exclaimed in shock.

"He was carrying my backpack!" The elder spread his hands in resignation. A silence fell inside the cabin.

At this moment, Liu Qiang was quite the match for that ’clever person.’

Believing himself to be smart, he grabbed the button on the left, his face revealing a cold sneer. "Chu Feng, don’t think I don’t know—the mechanism button on the right must be extremely dangerous. You can press that one yourself!"

"Oh, is that so?"

Chu Feng laughed mockingly and pressed the button at the same time as Liu Qiang.

Click!

The buttons of the mechanical traps on both sides were pressed by the two men simultaneously.

Boom!

The door to the secret passageway automatically opened.

"Ah... help..." Liu Qiang screamed in terror, realizing his body was uncontrollably falling downward. Meanwhile, Chu Feng was completely unharmed.

"Chu Feng... you f*cking set me up, you won’t die a good death!" Liu Qiang cursed Chu Feng bitterly.

In fact, this was already his death wail.

Because at the bottom of the trap he fell into, there were densely packed sharp swords, sprouting up like bamboo shoots.

Squelch!

"Wah..." In an instant, Liu Qiang was skewered like a hedgehog, only managing to let out two miserable screams before he fell silent forever.

"You see, I told you to press the one on the right, but you insisted on grabbing the left! When King Yan claims your life, no one can pull you back!" Chu Feng wore an innocent expression as he stepped out, walking directly through the Gate of Life.

Now was the best opportunity to get away from the Green Robed Elder.

"Wait up, kid!" The Green Robed Elder coldly shouted from behind.

Chu Feng turned a deaf ear, not only did he not slow down, but he also sped up, darting forward. Within this secret passageway, due to the Anti-fly Restriction, the Green Robed Elder was unable to use Sword Control to kill him.

Therefore, escaping now was the safest option for Chu Feng.

"Adapt to the situation!"

Chu Feng left behind these four words and disappeared behind the door.

These four words were instructions for Han Dong, meaning to tell Han Dong to watch for the opportunity to escape and rid himself of the Green Robed Elder’s control.

"Damn it!"

The Green Robed Elder’s face darkened as he chased out of the Secret Door, furiously roaring, "Little bastard, don’t let me catch you, or I’ll make you suffer the pain of splitting tendons and dislocating bones!"

Chu Feng had already escaped to a hundred meters away, with an entrance appearing ahead of him, vaguely revealing a vast inner space.

Moreover, a dense Demon Fog emanated from within.

Besides that, a Heaven-reaching Treasure Light was also shooting out from there, piercing the sky.
