The Art of Chaotic Divinity

Chapter 1594: I'll Still Slap You

On the other side, after confirming that the Blood Shadow Alliance had not caught up, Ling Feng quickly found a hidden stone cave and stopped to rest.

One after another, the Dongling Immortal Pool disciples followed him inside. Last came Xu Xinghe, panting heavily as he carried the severely injured Elder Cang Yue on his back.

Xu Xinghe was already wounded, yet Elder Cang Yue clung to him as if he were her last lifeline.

"Ling Feng..."

Fairy Qingping saw the dark look on Ling Feng's face. She bit her lip, unsure how to even begin comforting him.

Originally, Ling Feng had silently dealt with the enemies above, which should have allowed them to slip into the vein unnoticed. Now everything had been ruined. Elder Cang Yue's interference had alerted those below, and by now the outside of the vein was likely heavily guarded. Pulling off the same trick again would be nearly impossible.

The Despicable Donkey, on the other hand, looked completely unconcerned. He leaned back against the rock wall, hands behind his head, a blade of grass hanging from his mouth, clearly waiting to watch the show.

Something interesting was about to happen.

Xu Xinghe carried Elder Cang Yue inside and gently set her down, forcing an awkward smile onto his face.

He knew full well that Ling Feng and Elder Cang Yue did not get along, but she had latched onto him, and he did not dare leave her behind. So he had no choice but to bring her along.

The surrounding disciples fell silent, hardly daring to breathe.

Anyone could see that Ling Feng was in a terrible mood.

Only Elder Cang Yue still looked indignant. A trace of resentment flickered in her eyes. If not for her fear of Ling Feng's strength, she would have already started shouting again.

"Ling... Junior Brother Ling, what should we do next?"

Xu Xinghe asked cautiously.

Ling Feng ignored him completely. His gaze remained fixed on Elder Cang Yue, cold and sharp, as he considered how to deal with this old woman.

If not for the other innocent disciples, he would have already left her behind long ago.

"What are you staring at!"

Elder Cang Yue snorted. Seeing the other disciples shrink back as if they owed Ling Feng their lives only made her angrier.

"We're in this situation because of him. If he had listened to me earlier, would things have turned out like this?"

She scolded harshly, her face twisted with displeasure.

The disciples around her exchanged awkward looks. Everyone knew she had been the one dragging things out, but no one dared to speak up against her.

In the next instant, Ling Feng moved.

His figure blurred as he stepped forward in a flash.

Smack!

A crisp slap echoed through the cave.

Ling Feng struck her across the face without the slightest restraint.

"Old hag, shut your mouth!"

He had already been furious that she ruined his plan. Before he even said a word, she kept rambling on and blaming him.

Even the calmest person had limits, let alone Ling Feng.

That slap carried the force of Dragon-Elephant Divine Strength. It sent Elder Cang Yue flying straight into the rock wall with a heavy crash before she dropped to the ground, dazed and disoriented.

"Pfft!"

She coughed up several mouthfuls of blood. Her face burned with pain, and half her jaw felt as if it had been knocked out of place.

The cave fell completely silent.

Every disciple stood frozen in shock.

Xu Xinghe and Fairy Qingping were no different.

Ling Feng had just slapped a sect elder.

Only the Despicable Donkey crossed his legs with interest, as if he had expected this all along.

He knew Ling Feng's temperament better than anyone. Show him respect and he would return it tenfold. Cross him, and there would be a price to pay.

What did it matter if she was an elder?

He would still slap her.

"Old thing, you really don't know when to stop!"

Ling Feng was still not satisfied. He strode forward, grabbed her by the hair, and slapped her several more times in quick succession.

"You... you..."

Elder Cang Yue's face twisted, her mouth full of blood, yet she still glared at Ling Feng and shouted, "How dare you! I am an elder! I am an elder of the Illusory Moon Divine Hall!"

"To hell with that!"

More slaps followed, one after another, each drawing blood.

Even with her sixth-level Divine Destiny physique, she could not withstand it. Blood kept spilling from her mouth, and her appearance became utterly miserable.

The inner sect disciples stared in disbelief.

Shock aside, many of them felt a sense of release. This old woman had always thrown others into danger whenever trouble arose. She called it sacrifice for the greater good, but in truth, she was simply afraid of dying herself.

Were their lives worth less than hers?

"You... you..."

Overwhelmed with rage, Elder Cang Yue spat out another mouthful of blood and fainted on the spot.

A dignified sect elder had been beaten unconscious by an outer sect disciple.

Ling Feng still felt unsatisfied. He gave her a few more kicks before shaking the blood off his hands, snorting coldly, and turning away.

The sound of people swallowing nervously filled the cave.

This chaos demon king was truly ruthless.

Seeing Elder Cang Yue in such a miserable state, no one dared to provoke Ling Feng anymore.

"Junior Brother Ling... you didn't kill her, did you?"

Xu Xinghe asked, his lips twitching. It was the first time he had seen Ling Feng this violent.

"Kill her? That would only dirty my hands."

Ling Feng snorted.

"She is still an elder, and of high status. Aren't you worried this will bring trouble upon you?" Fairy Qingping asked, concern in her voice.

"Even the Hall Master of the Illusory Moon Divine Hall, Saint Lady Hui Yue, couldn't do anything to me back then. Why would I be afraid of her?"

Ling Feng gave a dismissive smile. Since the old woman had already passed out, he had no interest in continuing.

The priority now was figuring out how to enter the mine. Every extra day they delayed meant greater danger for Lin Mu and the others.

Xu Xinghe let out a dry laugh. Ever since Ling Feng joined Dongling Immortal Pool, trouble followed him wherever he went. Each incident was bigger than the last. Worrying about him felt almost unnecessary.

Fairy Qingping looked at Ling Feng and spoke seriously, "What should we do now? After this, the Blood Shadow Alliance will be even more cautious. Even with your powerful flame domain, it will be hard to wipe them out like before."

Ling Feng's expression turned solemn. The Devouring Flame within him could only support that domain one more time. He had to use it at the right moment.

Xu Xinghe sighed softly. "Junior Brother Ling, we actually escaped from beneath the vein. I can tell you everything I know. It might help."

Ling Feng nodded, his face calm once more.

"Go on."
