Chapter 860: Chapter 882: Chu Tong’s Illusion Realm
Just as Hong Chao was about to touch the short sword, the old woman dodged with a swift move, and the short sword pierced her heart in that instant.
In the blink of an eye, she stopped moving. Seeing this, Chu Linfeng laughed and said, "Tong’er, your way of dying is too quick. I think Hong Chao won’t be fooled. Is it possible for someone to die just like that?"
"Big brother, don’t worry. This guy is filled with grief and self-blame, how could he think so much? I believe he’s about to go crazy right now. If you don’t believe me, just keep watching," Chu Tong said.
Hong Chao watched as his mother died, with both of his dearest family members gone before his eyes, and the blow drove him mad. Calm and stable as he usually was, he couldn’t hold back his grief and immediately stood up, yelling to the sky, "Chu Linfeng, you damn turtle! Come out! I’m going to kill you!"
Consumed by rage without release, Hong Chao spat a mouthful of blood in fury, swaying unsteadily, clearly suffering a severe shock from his vexation.
"Tong’er, your illusion art is impressive. Seeing him in such agony, should I just kill him directly? Will you do it, or should I?" Chu Linfeng asked.
"Killing is your business, big brother. I’m just a child, isn’t it inappropriate for you to have me kill people?" Chu Tong said.
Then the light shield in front of Chu Linfeng disappeared, but Hong Chao appeared before him with bloodshot eyes, twitching facial muscles, looking extremely ferocious. Upon seeing Chu Linfeng, he could no longer hold back his hatred and swiftly swung his long sword at him.
"Courting death!" Chu Linfeng uttered simply and dodged Hong Chao’s strike with a swift movement. At that moment, he initiated Thunder Transformation, and a thumb-thick purple thunderbolt struck Hong Chao accurately from above.
It knocked him to the ground, creating a large pit in the yellow sand, making him look as if he had fallen into ink, his entire body charred black, and his clothes tattered and smoking.
Seeing the result of his Thunder Transformation attack, Chu Linfeng felt slightly disappointed. The attack power of Thunder Transformation seemed only enough to kill someone at the Saint Martial Realm, proving ineffective against the strong of the Venerable Martial Realm, even less so than Wind Transformation, perhaps due to his current strength level.
Hong Chao was in excruciating pain, paralyzed and unable to move, his eyes fixed straight on Chu Linfeng. He wanted to speak but couldn’t, as Chu Linfeng chuckled, "Time to send you on your way. You killed your father and mother; you deserve to die for this." Then he used Wind Transformation, and several powerful wind blades surrounded Hong Chao. After his screams, his body was shredded into pieces, dead beyond any doubt.
With Hong Chao dead, it’s the Poison King’s turn, and Chu Linfeng laughed, "Tong’er, should we do something exciting for the Poison King, make him die in guilt?"
"I think we should just kill him directly, why risk the safety of that lady? Despite her strength, she faces multiple opponents. If her energy depletes too much, it would be dangerous," Chu Tong said.
Chu Linfeng thought Chu Tong made sense. Although Zhang Lijuan was powerful, those opponents were all strong in the Venerable Martial Realm. Even a round-robin battle could wear her down, and Chu Linfeng still needed her help to enter the Death Tower Land.
"Bring the Poison King here to me so I can kill him directly and avoid unnecessary trouble later," Chu Linfeng said.
At this point, Chu Qing laughed, "Big brother, the Poison King is right in front of you, you can kill him anytime. Look if you don’t believe me."
Chu Linfeng glanced ahead, indeed, the Poison King remained. He was no longer trying to escape but cautiously surveying the surroundings, as if someone could appear at any moment. That someone was naturally Chu Linfeng, pursuing him.
"Chu Tong, it seems like he can’t see me. What’s going on? Did you block his vision?" Chu Linfeng asked.
"You sure talk a lot, big brother. Half the incense stick’s time is almost up. It seems you’re not planning to kill him, lingering here is so nerve-wracking," Chu Tong hurriedly said.
Startled by how quickly time had flown, Chu Linfeng immediately set his chaotic dragon power into a frenzy throughout his body, executing Star Slash instantly, its speed imperceptible to the naked eye, aiming for the Poison King.
The Poison King was already on guard and suddenly heard the sound of something cutting through the air from behind, quickly moving aside. But with Chu Linfeng’s speed, evading was impossible; despite being at the Venerable Martial Realm Fifth Layer, he couldn’t dodge this unexpected strike.
Star Slash’s might was enormous, combining the power of the five elements and thunder element, sending the Poison King flying hundreds of meters away, a scene of blood rain overhead; his survival or death could only be determined by the outcome.
Chu Linfeng felt satisfied with this strike, moving swiftly to where the Poison King lay, who still couldn’t see him, a testament to Chu Tong’s impressive illusion art.
Glancing at the Poison King, Chu Linfeng saw he was heavily injured by the attack, especially with his back completely mangled and bones exposed, and the power of thunder and lightning left him unable to move. freewёbnoνel.com
To end the fight quickly, Chu Linfeng sliced once more, a casual slash, though sufficient given the Poison King’s current state to take his life.
The sharp Cyan Frost Sword pierced his heart directly, and the unfortunate Poison King died without even seeing Chu Linfeng, his frustration and unwillingness known only to himself.
This was perhaps the easiest kill for Chu Linfeng, and the opponent was a Venerable Martial Realm Fifth Layer strong one, a stark contrast to the battles with the Ghost King and Beast King of the past.
Just as Chu Linfeng prepared to leave, Sword Spirit commented, "Aren’t you going to take his storage ring?"
"His storage ring is full of poison, what good is it to me? I think I’ll just leave it," Chu Linfeng replied indifferently.
"Idiot, these poisons are useful even in the Immortal Realm, and you treat them as trash? You’re driving me mad," Sword Spirit said, speechless.
Startled, Chu Linfeng took the Poison King’s storage ring and used Fire Transformation to burn it before swiftly returning to Zhang Lijuan and the others.
Chu Linfeng was a little surprised to see everyone standing behind Zhang Lijuan, "Have you done it already?"
