Chapter 277: Chapter 277: Martyrdom for Husband

Chu Feng immediately stopped hesitating and leaped down.

Han Dong also followed closely behind.

"There are quite a few people this time, and with the Little Heavenly Sword Formation Map, I should seize the opportunity to grab a few more treasure swords!"

Chu Feng made up his mind. After jumping into the Second Level, there were no stairs. It was suspended in mid-air.

It is estimated that the ancient abilities who constructed this Demon Suppression Tower all possessed the power of Sword Flight. They even had stronger skills, such as Instantaneous Movement and Space Jump, and so on.

They didn’t need something like stairs at all.

The floor of the First Level is about thirty meters from the floor of the Second Level.

With Chu Feng’s strength, such a height was indeed somewhat of a strain. He was originally prepared to use a Wind Talisman Elixir to fly directly. However, when he saw the Poison Eye Dragon King waiting to catch him below, he immediately dismissed the idea.

Wind Talisman Elixirs are extremely difficult to refine, their materials are costly and rare, and the difficulty of refining them is frustratingly high.

Even for Chu Feng, an Alchemy Venerate, there is no guarantee of a hundred percent success rate.

He refined a furnace of Wind Talisman Elixirs and only succeeded in making two elixirs.

One can imagine how difficult it was.

These two Wind Talisman Elixirs had only one ability, which was to allow the user to fly like a bird. Although the flying ability provided by the Wind Talisman Elixirs was very limited.

The flying speed was slow, and the duration was also limited.

But because it allowed an ordinary Sword Master to fly like a Sword Saint, its charm was vast. It could be said to be a sought-after elixir.

In the marketplace, even if one has money, it is difficult to buy.

On the rare occasion that one is sold, it would fetch an astronomical price at an auction.

"Master, should I hide in the dark to protect you?" the Poison Eye Dragon King asked for instructions after catching Chu Feng and landing steadily.

"Mm, without my permission, do not expose our relationship. It’s better to pretend to be enemies; that way, it’s easier to deceive others!" Chu Feng began to survey the surroundings.

The Second Level of the Demon Suppression Tower is visibly smaller than the First Level.

However, its diameter is still large, at least eight or nine hundred meters.

And the Demon Fog inside is even denser, like ink that cannot be dissolved. The visibility is worse than the First Level.

Almost beyond ten meters out, one could not see anything clearly.

Within five meters, it is relatively clear, but beyond five meters, it becomes more obscure.

This level didn’t have Demon Suppression Steles built, but instead featured arrays carved into the ground that looked somewhat like Spirit Gathering Arrays.

However, due to their ancient age and Chu Feng’s lack of expertise in arrays, he was not sure of their actual function.

Their purpose should be to gather the nearby spiritual energy, continuously supplying energy to the Magic Suppression Array below.

"My god... all these Spirit Gathering Arrays have been destroyed!"

It could be seen that the small arrays on the floor were all damaged. It was unclear who did it.

After catching Chu Feng, the Poison Eye Dragon King also intercepted Han Dong, ensuring he landed safely.

"Master, may I move freely?" Han Dong asked for Chu Feng’s permission.

"Go ahead! Be careful!" Chu Feng nodded in agreement.

He also chose a direction for himself to seek his own fortune.

"Roar!"

A terrifying black Demon Bear appeared in Chu Feng’s line of sight. Its body was as tall as five or six meters, looking like a small hill, and every step it took seemed to shake the ground.

An oppressive presence like a mountain enveloped the area.

Chu Feng seemed like a flickering candle in the wind, possibly to be extinguished by it at any moment.

It glared with two blood-red ferocious eyes, firmly fixed on Chu Feng.

"The strength of this Demon Bear is definitely comparable to an Early Stage Sword Saint. I’m definitely not its match." Chu Feng started to retreat, but instead of turning tail and running, he retreated step by step, facing the Demon Bear.

The Poison Eye Dragon King was secretly protecting Chu Feng in the shadows, ready to assist him against the Demon Bear if necessary.

Whiz whiz whiz!

Figures descended from above, experts from the Ten Thousand Sword Sect and Rashamon Sect, all vying to enter.

As soon as Han Xiaoying entered the Second Level of the Demon Suppression Tower, she saw Chu Feng’s perilous situation and her expression changed drastically, "Master, I must save my husband!" Han Xiaoying’s own strength is only at the Middle Stage Great Sword Master, incapable of resisting the Demonic Qi alone.

However, her resistance to Demonic Qi was far stronger than ordinary people.

Because she possessed the Seven-star Sword Veins, inherently carrying Fiendish Energy, which is very similar to Demonic Qi. Therefore, the Demonic Qi did minimal harm to her.

Elder Shoumei and others also noticed Chu Feng’s dangerous predicament.

"Disciple, do not panic, your master is coming to save you!"

Elder Shoumei, along with several disciples, flew directly towards Chu Feng.

Still in mid-air, a brilliant sword light slashed towards the Demon Bear.

Boom!

After the sword light struck the Demon Bear, a terrifying scene ensued. It didn’t even break through its defense.

The Demon Bear was surrounded by a flowing dark glow, as if there was a layer of black water screen, undulating endlessly.

The sword light slashed on it and immediately slid off.

As a result, the damage inflicted on the Demon Bear was minimal to the point of pity.

"Roar!"

It was directly enraged; originally on all fours, steadily approaching Chu Feng.

Now attacked, it stood upright.

At least ten meters tall, its fur bristling, black and purple electric light shined on its thick bear paws.

Overwhelming Evil Qi roared like a mountain tsunami, its ferocity unrestrained.

Because of his proximity, Chu Feng faced howling winds, unable to even stand steady.

Initially retreating slowly, he now realized the dire situation, Chu Feng could no longer care about anything else, and immediately exerted all his strength to shoot aside.

Whoosh!

The Demon Bear’s powerful hind legs leapt fiercely, its massive mountain-like body agilely leaping twenty to thirty meters.

It targeted not Elder Shoumei, who attacked it, but Chu Feng, who was frantically fleeing.

Bears belong to the feline family and take pleasure in pursuing animals that move quickly beside them, it’s their instinct.

The Demon Bear was no exception.

If Chu Feng moved slowly backward, it wouldn’t take excessive action.

Bang!

An extremely terrifying bear paw viciously struck down towards Chu Feng.

The ground sank; the sky shattered.

"Husband!"

Han Xiaoying, throwing caution to the wind, flew out and struck with her sword towards the Demon Bear. Her heart was filled with desolation and utter despair.

She watched helplessly as her husband was killed by a paw swipe from the Demon Bear.

In the past, she might not have been too heartbroken.

But as she spent more time with Chu Feng, her heart had been deeply marked by his presence, indelible.

At this moment, as she watched her husband being slapped to death by the Demon Bear.

Her heart felt as if it had been viciously stabbed by a knife, a pain so intense she couldn’t breathe.

Tears couldn’t stop flowing down her pretty face.

Only when one loses, does one understand to cherish, to feel ever more the preciousness. Han Xiaoying recalled Chu Feng’s warm smile, and how he gave her the precious Fiend Extinguishing Pill without hoping for anything in return.

Her heart ached even more.
