Chapter 2435: Encounter with the Divine King
"Who are you?"
Huayin Heavenly Tiger used its still trembling paw to point at Lin Feng and asked. Although there was a hint of ferocity in its words, it lacked the confidence it had before. It didn’t know why, but there was a feeling of unease stirring in its heart. However, it couldn’t show any sign of cowardice on the surface; such a disgraceful thing would be beneath it.
"Get lost, or I’ll rip the horn off your head and skin you!" Lin Feng looked at Huayin Heavenly Tiger and said casually, as if it were a trivial matter.
"You!"
Just as Huayin Heavenly Tiger was about to speak, as no human had ever dared talk to it that way, it suddenly saw Lin Feng’s eyes emit two faint golden flames. Feeling the terrifying aura from them, Huayin Heavenly Tiger’s entire body trembled; in its view, this human wasn’t a human at all but a legendary Divine Beast. That aura left it with no choice but to shiver!
With a glance at Lin Feng, Huayin Heavenly Tiger dared not say another word, turning and fleeing at top speed. It truly couldn’t withstand such pressure; if it stayed, what that young human said might become reality. Even given a myriad of courage, it wouldn’t dare fight such a person...
My god!
Scared off by just one sentence?
How...how could it be!
...
Watching Huayin Heavenly Tiger being scared off by Lin Feng’s one sentence, a few Divine Kings were left stunned in midair. Such a thing was unimaginable to them, yet the young man before them had done it. What level of strength did this require, they couldn’t even begin to predict.
But they knew what they should and shouldn’t do at this moment, so those few Divine Kings quickly communicated with each other using Divine Sense, and even the one who had fallen to the ground flew back into the air and came to Lin Feng, bowing respectfully.
"Thank you, Daoist friend, for saving us!"
"Thank you, Daoist friend, for saving us!"
...
At this moment, all the Divine Kings had no temper at all, their tone was incredibly respectful. Lin Feng’s power was beyond their imagination, and he had saved them. If they just ran off, who knows what might become of them.
Lin Feng didn’t speak but pointed downwards, then floated down to the ground. Seeing this, the Divine Kings understood and quickly followed Lin Feng down.
"What happened with you all, how did it come to fighting with it?" Looking at the somewhat reserved Divine Kings, Lin Feng casually asked.
"To answer Daoist friend, we don’t know what happened either. We originally wanted to explore deeper, but suddenly encountered the Huayin Heavenly Tiger and without saying much, it just started to fight us out of nowhere. Seeing this situation infuriated us, so it escalated to what you saw." The Heavenly Flow Divine King stepped forward to explain to Lin Feng, truly feeling baffled now. He didn’t understand why the Huayin Heavenly Tiger suddenly went crazy and attacked them.
"Is there really such a thing?" Hearing this from the Heavenly Flow Divine King, Lin Feng was puzzled. Logically speaking, such a situation shouldn’t exist. Though there is competition between Demon Beasts and humans, no Demon Beast would actively seek a fight with humans, especially at the Divine King level—if pushed to self-destruct, escape might not even be possible. What was the Huayin Heavenly Tiger thinking?
Thinking this, Lin Feng closed his eyes and used his unparalleled, powerful Divine Sense to lock onto Huayin Heavenly Tiger and began to communicate with it.
"Why did you want to kill those humans?"
Lin Feng’s voice suddenly appeared in Huayin Heavenly Tiger’s mind, startling it into a shiver. Afraid Lin Feng would chase after it, it immediately replied, "Those people had the aura of my kin on them, so when I saw them, naturally I wanted to kill them. It’s that simple."
"It’s that simple, is it? Do I need to come over and talk with you?"
The voice appeared again, showing Lin Feng’s doubt. Such a sentence instantly made Huayin Heavenly Tiger bristle, immediately explaining again, "You don’t need to come, really! I’m not lying. If you don’t believe it, you can ask them. If I’m not mistaken, not long ago they definitely killed someone of my kind!"
Hearing this response from Huayin Heavenly Tiger, Lin Feng seemed to understand certain circumstances, withdrew his Divine Sense, and looked at the nervous Divine Kings in front of him, saying, "Did you kill a Huayin Heavenly Tiger before?"
"Well, this..."
"We..."
...
Upon hearing Lin Feng, the Divine Kings immediately felt embarrassed. They had indeed killed a Huayin Heavenly Tiger, just the day before. They truly didn’t know how Lin Feng figured this out, was it a guess?
Seeing the Divine Kings’ reaction, Lin Feng immediately understood and shook his head, then spoke to them, "You should leave; I can only save you once, the rest of the journey is up to you. If you encounter the Huayin Heavenly Tiger again, it’s your own bad luck."
After speaking, Lin Feng intended to leave, but before he could, the Divine Kings exchanged a glance and quickly stopped him, saying to Lin Feng.
"Daoist friend, we still wish to ask for your help." ƒrēewebnovel.com
"Yes, we’re leaving here immediately; we truly don’t want to keep going."
"We... we worry about being blocked by that Huayin Heavenly Tiger on the way back..."
...
All the Divine Kings pleaded for Lin Feng’s help, their tone exceedingly humble. They had no other option. As long as Lin Feng was around, the Huayin Heavenly Tiger wouldn’t chase them, but if they parted ways with Lin Feng and the tiger intercepted them, they still wouldn’t be able to escape. If Lin Feng could solve this problem, then they’d be truly safe.
Right after speaking, the Divine Kings quickly communicated among themselves, taking out some rewards from their Space Treasures, including Elixirs, materials, and certain Dharma Treasures. Whatever they had, they took out; after all, there’s no free lunch in the world. To ensure their safety, they naturally needed to offer something valuable.
Lin Feng glanced over the items they took out, showing no interest. Their Elixirs were merely of middle quality, nowhere near the quality he would need with even a single Elixir he might casually consume far exceeding that level. Regarding the materials, nothing caught Lin Feng’s eye, and as for the Dharma Treasures, it was even more so pointless for Lin Feng. Being an Artifact Refiner himself and possessing top-tier weapons like the Dragon Soul Sword, these treasures held no value for him.
Seeing Lin Feng shake his head like this, all the Divine Kings were filled with anxiety and felt a bit helpless. They’d already offered their best, yet Lin Feng wasn’t satisfied. What could they possibly do?
"Um... Daoist friend, we’re sincere, not just trying to brush you off, please accept these..." The Heavenly Flow Divine King, looking at Lin Feng, spoke rather helplessly. He hadn’t expected that the items he, a dignified Divine King, offered would be undesired; this was a clear slap in the face...
"You can take your things back; I genuinely have no interest. It’s not that I’m against you or anything. I’ll tell you candidly, I’m an Alchemist and also an Artifact Refiner. Your items are already finished products and completely useless to me."
Lin Feng explained directly to the Divine Kings. As he said, he truly wasn’t interested in those items, plain and simple. However, he then thought of something else and said to the Divine Kings: "Do you have any Spiritual Medicine? If you do, I need it!"
The Divine Kings were utterly surprised by Lin Feng’s request. Looking at Lin Feng, they were left speechless. They weren’t Alchemists, what use did they have for Spiritual Medicine? Usually, they kept Elixirs in their Space Treasures; who casually stocked Spiritual Medicine?
"We really don’t have any!"
"We usually store Elixirs..."
...
Seeing Lin Feng, the Divine Kings spoke, genuinely unsure of what else to say. People typically stock up on Elixirs, not Spiritual Medicine, as no one expected to encounter an Alchemist like Lin Feng halfway to nowhere. What were they supposed to do?
Realizing that these Divine Kings truly didn’t have any Spiritual Medicine, Lin Feng shook his head helplessly, then shook his head at them before heading towards Tao Tao and Ma Biaohu.
Seeing that Lin Feng was done with them, the Divine Kings understood that Lin Feng was unwilling to assist further. They exchanged glances, sighed collectively, and each took an Elixir before heading toward Pingcheng.
In just the time of burning an incense stick, one of the smaller, somewhat sly-looking Divine Kings’ eyes were turning, as if contemplating something.
"Brothers, have you considered one thing? That young man earlier didn’t seem to be a Divine King?" The God King of Heavenly Mallow looked at the others, expressing his doubt. For further persuasion, he added, "Although that young man’s power was extraordinary, he never showed a Divine King’s aura nor a Domain presence, isn’t that suspicious?"
After the God King of Heavenly Mallow spoke, the other Divine Kings finally realized, looking at each other with suspicion. They’d been too awed by Lin Feng’s miraculous abilities to ponder this before. But now, reflecting back, it indeed seemed questionable. Indeed, as the God King of Heavenly Mallow stated, Lin Feng truly didn’t exhibit a Divine King aura. If not for Lin Feng’s ability to fly, it would have been hard to believe he was a Divine King!
"There might indeed be an issue." The Heavenly Flow Divine King nodded at this moment, equally confused. Yet Lin Feng’s displayed power was beyond ordinary, able to send Huayin Heavenly Tiger flying with a single punch—something not achievable by just anyone. But Lin Feng showed no Divine King aura, which was indeed contradictory.
Looking at the God King of Heavenly Mallow, the Heavenly Flow Divine King slightly furrowed his brow, but suddenly noticed the God King of Heavenly Mallow’s eyes glinting with greed, instantly grasping his intent...
