Chapter 868: Chapter 889: The Reunion of the Four Holy Beasts
"Alright, since you want to go, I’ll accompany you. After all, you’ve basically mastered the Celestial Blade Six Forms. As long as we’re cautious, there shouldn’t be any danger." The girl Qin’er said.
The two were about to leave the secret room when they saw the elder outside the house. "Greetings, Grandfather!" they said in unison to the elder.
The elder glanced at Ouyang Hong and laughed, "Are you planning to go out? Now that the Beast King City has been destroyed, there shouldn’t be any danger nearby. Go and come back soon!"
"Grandfather, we’re planning to visit Beast King City. Brother Hong said he seemed to hear someone calling him earlier. He said it’s his friend and decided to check it out, which might delay us a bit." The girl Qin’er said.
The elder’s face briefly showed surprise but soon returned to normal, "If that’s the case, I’ll accompany you to have a look. If there’s any danger, I can help you withstand it. It’s about time I went out too, after staying here for so long."
"Thank you, Grandfather!" Qin’er said happily. With her grandfather accompanying them to Beast King City, she felt more at ease. In her eyes, her grandfather was the most powerful warrior.
Ouyang Hong didn’t speak. He knew the elder likely wanted to see if Chu Linfeng was there. He had promised him to help leave the Netherworld back then. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
The three quickly flew into the air towards Beast King City, while Young Master Feiyu had returned to human form and appeared before Chu Linfeng, looking somewhat pale. The sweat on his forehead showed the considerable exhaustion.
"Lin Feng, I believe Ouyang Hong will arrive soon. When that happens, you must hand over the Netherworld Purple Orchid to me. It’s been a while since I’ve been this exhausted, but it’s worth it for the Netherworld Purple Orchid," Young Master Feiyu said.
"We’ll discuss when Ouyang Hong arrives. I’ve said before that I will uphold my words. It’s unexpected you have such capabilities; it seems finding you first was indeed the right choice." Chu Linfeng laughed.
At that moment, Kong Feifei and Princess Yiyi approached Young Master Feiyu, scrutinizing him carefully. The aura emanating from him confirmed he was Human Race, but the enormous turtle body from before had left them puzzled.
"Feiyu, why did you turn into a turtle just now? What’s going on?" Princess Yiyi asked, unable to resist.
Young Master Feiyu simply smiled faintly, glanced at Chu Linfeng, hoping he would explain it to them since the two women were his companions. He did not wish to offend.
"Feifei, Yiyi, I’ll explain Feiyu’s situation after we return. Now is not the time for that discussion. Just remember to treat him as a human; anything else isn’t your concern," Chu Linfeng smiled.
"Chu Linfeng, how can you speak like that, telling them to treat me as a human? Aren’t I a human to begin with? Isn’t that an insult?" Young Master Feiyu glared at Chu Linfeng, unexpectedly baffled by the explanation.
Xiao Qiang had already understood the form Young Master Feiyu appeared in. Breaking the Netherworld’s barrier required the combined strength of the Four Holy Beasts, which he already knew. This meant the awaited Ouyang Hong might very well be one of the Four Holy Beasts. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
After a while, as everyone continued waiting, three figures flew from the sky, quickly stopping dozens of meters away from Chu Linfeng’s group. A young maiden, a benevolent-faced elder, and a red-haired youth.
The youth saw Chu Linfeng, Young Master Feiyu, and Lin Ruoxi, his face lighting up with joy. He immediately flew swiftly forward, simultaneously producing a large blade in his hand and slashing towards Chu Linfeng.
The young maiden and elder were shocked, unable to understand why Ouyang Hong would attack upon seeing the youth, especially using the most powerful Heaven-Breaking Saber from the Celestial Blade Six Forms. Ouyang Hong’s speed was too rapid to stop.
The elder glanced at Chu Linfeng’s group’s capabilities and found one human to be a Fourth Level of Venerable Martial Realm expert, even stronger than his own level. He felt angered and helpless towards Ouyang Hong’s rashness, knowing he’d have to fight with everything to ensure their safety.
Seeing Ouyang Hong’s attack directed at him, Chu Linfeng didn’t evade but merely smiled slightly, though Kong Feifei and Princess Yiyi were alarmed. The two women readied to intercept the attack but were stopped by Chu Linfeng.
Xiao Qiang and Zhang Lijuan made no move, perceiving the youth was not Chu Linfeng’s match. Perhaps the youth was just trying to showcase his strength before Chu Linfeng, or maybe it was a playful jest; thus, there was no need to assist Chu Linfeng.
The girl called Qin’er turned pale instantly, unexpectedly encountering Ouyang Hong’s enemy immediately after stepping out. Had she known, she wouldn’t have let him out. Worried, she said to the elder:
"Grandfather, will Brother Hong be in danger? You must help him if needed!"
"Qin’er, don’t make a fuss. If Hong’er is really in danger, I won’t ignore it. That young man is only at the Seventh Layer of the Saint Martial Realm, yet he remained unfazed by Hong’er’s attack. This person is not simple. Additionally, that Fourth Level of Venerable Martial Realm expert shows no intention of helping. I suspect this young man is likely the Human Race youth who has been widely rumored to have slain the Beast King and Ghost King," the elder said doubtfully.
At this moment, a flash of red light burst forth from Ouyang Hong’s blade, and a massive blade aura surged towards Chu Linfeng, causing the surrounding space to fluctuate violently. Clearly, this attack power was extremely strong.
However, Chu Linfeng surprised everyone by not dodging. Instead, he directly used his body to crash into the large saber in Ouyang Hong’s hand.
"Boom!" A loud explosion rang in everyone’s ears, and then they saw the two of them flew back tens of meters before regaining their balance. The red-haired boy’s hand continuously trembled, evidently affected by the rebound force.
Chu Linfeng, however, was unscathed and looked at the opponent with a broad smile. Then, with a flash, he arrived in front of the opponent. At this moment, Qin’er was alarmed, thinking Chu Linfeng was going to harm Ouyang Hong, and she immediately called out, "Don’t hurt my Brother Hong!" She thrust her long sword swiftly at Chu Linfeng.
Chu Linfeng ignored her attack. Just as the sword reached him, he gently pinched it with his fingers and then said, "Kid, I didn’t expect you to find a woman. Not bad! Quite pretty! Hahaha!"
"Get lost! Just seeing you frustrates me, you pervert. That was my most powerful attack, and you directly used your body to block it. You’re driving me mad. My arm is still numb," Ouyang Hong said.
Chu Linfeng released the young lady Qin’er’s sword before saying, "You wanted to surprise me, so I naturally had to surprise you. Satisfied, huh? Hahaha!"
Ouyang Hong also burst into laughter and then said to Qin’er, "Qin’er, this is my brother Chu Linfeng! I deliberately tested him just now; didn’t expect to scare you. I’m really sorry!"
"Brother Hong, your joke was too much, causing me to worry so much. I didn’t expect your friend to be so powerful, actually able to withstand your Celestial Blade Six Forms," Qin’er said with surprise written all over her face.
"He’s just a monster; don’t pay him any mind. Comparing strength with him is just asking for humiliation. The friend I mentioned at Beast King City is them. I’m so happy today," Ouyang Hong said with a smile.
Princess Yiyi and Kong Feifei were both taken aback. They didn’t expect this red-haired youth to be the one Chu Linfeng was looking for. It seems their relationship is deep; otherwise, they wouldn’t joke like this upon meeting.
Feiyu and Lin Ruoxi then approached Ouyang Hong. "Ouyang Hong, your strength has greatly improved. What realm have you reached now?" Feiyu was the first to ask.
"Eighth Level of Saint Martial Realm. Isn’t it impressive! How about you, Feiyu?" Ouyang Hong inquired.
"A bit weaker than you. And who is this?" Feiyu asked.
"Her name is Qin’er, now considered my woman. Surprised, huh? Even I, Ouyang Hong, have a woman," Ouyang Hong said, glancing intentionally or unintentionally at Lin Ruoxi.
Lin Ruoxi naturally understood the meaning in his gaze and smiled, saying, "She looks quite nice. Congratulations, Ouyang Hong, on finding someone you like!"
At this moment, the elder came to Ouyang Hong’s side, carefully looked at Chu Linfeng, and asked, "Are you the Human Race youth who slew the Ghost King and Beast King? And also the Divine Dragon who broke open the Netherworld entrance?"
Chu Linfeng was slightly taken aback. After looking at the elder, he realized he had the Third Layer of Venerable Martial Realm strength. It seems Ouyang Hong’s current strength owes much to this elder. He then said, "It seems Ouyang Hong has told you everything. Yes, I am the one you mentioned. Thank you for taking care of and helping my brother!"
"Grandpa, is he really that super-strong expert who slew the Ghost King and Beast King? How is that possible? He’s so young; how can he have such immense power?" Qin’er couldn’t help but ask.
"Many impossible things exist. Those women and the elder not far away are very formidable experts. I don’t think I can match them. Qin’er, remember there’s always someone stronger. Do not use ordinary perspectives to view matters," the elder said.
"Since Ouyang Hong calls you Grandpa, I will too. Let me introduce my friends to you," Chu Linfeng said.
"That is the daughter of the Lord of Netherworld, Princess Yiyi, and that is the daughter of the Netherworld Lord, Kong Feifei. The Venerable Martial Realm expert is named Xiao Qiang, and the woman next to him is the new Human King. Don’t underestimate her; her power is very formidable. Even if I want to defeat her, I must pay some price. The other two are Young Master Feiyu and Lin Ruoxi. We four joined forces to break open the Netherworld Barrier," he described.
The elder’s expression flickered continuously, especially when he saw Xiao Qiang, showing a bit of excitement, and approached Xiao Qiang saying, "Are you that Xiao Qiang from the Holy Sword Sect of that year?"
