Free Web NovelChapter 98: Chapter 98: Foreign Race
The Eldest Prince and the Seventh Prince were both shocked. This Ren Changfeng was showing no respect for the Royal Family whatsoever; he was dead set on killing Shen Daoxing.
Shen Daoxing’s expression darkened, and his eyes turned ice-cold.
At that moment.
"KYEHEHEHE!"
A chilling, sinister laugh suddenly echoed across the sky. A moment later, a massive, sky-blotting flock of blood-red crows appeared over Celestial Capital Mountain Peak.
The sky above the crowd instantly grew dim.
"Hmm?"
Ren Changfeng looked up and paused. Suddenly, his brows furrowed. He had a bad feeling and instantly leaped away from where he stood.
In the very next instant, a gigantic hand burst from the ground right where Ren Changfeng had been standing.
The arm was incredibly thick—as tall as a man—and covered in dense fur. As it emerged, its five fingers clenched into a tight fist, producing a sickening CRUNCH as if crushing bone.
It was obvious that if Ren Changfeng hadn’t sensed the danger and leaped away, his lower body would have been crushed to a pulp.
Ren Changfeng frowned. Just as he was about to speak, he was startled once more. Sensing another threat, he leaped into the air again.
At that very moment, a menacing giant axe plummeted from the sky.
It smashed into the spot Ren Changfeng had just vacated with a thunderous BOOM. CRACK! A long fissure split the ground.
Just as Ren Changfeng dodged the axe’s attack.
In the sky, the dense swarm of blood-red crows sprang into motion, converging and diving madly toward him.
"What are these things!"
Ren Changfeng frowned. With an upward flick of his elegant robes, a massive Palm Seal flew out.
In an instant, a large swath of the blood-red crows disintegrated under the massive Palm Seal.
"KYEHEHEHE!"
A man completely shrouded in a black robe suddenly appeared on the training grounds. His voice was chillingly effeminate and terrifying. "Da Shi, this fellow seems to be an expert at the Spirit Transformation Realm. Are you confident you can take him?"
"Heheheh, of course I am. If I couldn’t even fight someone above my own realm, what right would I have had to be imprisoned in the Venerable Domain by a Venerable Supreme?"
A gruff voice echoed from the sky.
Ren Changfeng’s eyelid twitched as he suddenly realized the gravity of the situation. He then saw a man who looked like a savage, covered head to toe in hair, swinging a Mountain-Cracking Axe down at him from the sky.
Ren Changfeng’s expression darkened. With Primordial Energy surging through his body, he thrust out his palm, forming a massive, majestic Palm Seal.
However, his Palm Seal met the Mountain-Cracking Axe and, with a loud BANG, shattered instantly, failing to stop it in the slightest.
"Urk!"
Ren Changfeng cried out as he was sent flying through the air.
But just as his body hit the ground.
"BOOM!"
A giant fist erupted from the earth and slammed down violently on top of him.
"Aaargh!"
Ren Changfeng screamed again as he was launched high into the air, only to crash heavily back down to the ground.
Immediately, a giant Demon Ape several dozen feet tall burst from the ground. It cracked a horrifying, ferocious grin. "The Spirit Transformation experts of this era are a far cry from those in my time."
"A Foreign Race! They’re from a Foreign Race!"
Someone seemed to recognize the origins of Six Ears, Mo Ya, and Da Shi, their eyes widening in shock.
The Foreign Races were any race other than the Human Race. They possessed extraordinary physical strength and special Racial Innate Divine Techniques. At the same cultivation realm, they were far more powerful than the average human cultivator.
The person paused, then continued in disbelief, "But the Foreign Races all live in the Mountain Sea Region, beyond the East Continent. To reach our East Continent, they’d have to cross not only Cangzhou and the Yu Continent but also numerous empires. Human Race territory isn’t somewhere a Foreign Race can just waltz into. How did they get to our Martial Kingdom?"
The speaker was utterly bewildered.
The others in the crowd gasped. And judging by the newcomers’ fierce and menacing demeanors, they were clearly nothing but trouble. This could turn the entire Martial Kingdom upside down.
Even the members of the Martial Kingdom’s Royal Family, who had remained composed on the viewing platform, now wore expressions of astonishment.
"So this is the world outside, is it? KYEHEHEHE!"
Mo Ya’s creepy, effeminate laughter rang out as he surveyed the surrounding Celestial City Academy disciples with a meaningful gaze.
A chill ran down the spines of the Celestial City Academy disciples, who felt as if they were being targeted by a venomous snake. This was especially true for the female disciples; his gaze made them feel as if they were standing completely naked before him.
"It’s been a long time since I’ve tasted human blood."
The Six-Eared Demon Ape cracked a terrifying smile.
The disciples and teachers of Celestial City Academy felt their skin crawl and their hearts shudder. They hastily took several steps back.
Just then, Shen Daoxing walked into the middle of the trio.
"Master."
Six Ears, Mo Ya, and Da Shi bowed respectfully to Shen Daoxing in unison.
’Master?’
The disciples and teachers of Celestial City Academy were stunned.
’Shen Daoxing is their master?’
’Why would several members of a Foreign Race acknowledge a human like Shen Daoxing as their master?’
’Just what is Shen Daoxing’s background?’
Everyone was dumbfounded.
"Master, these academy folks are a nasty bunch. How about... you let me kill them all!"
Six Ears cackled, itching for a slaughter after so long.
"Leave the female disciples for me!"
Mo Ya let out his eerie "KYEHEHE" cackle.
"Perfect. My cell could use a few new slaves."
Da Shi added with a boisterous laugh.
Hearing this, everyone from Celestial City Academy felt their hearts clench in terror.
"Insolence! How dare you members of a Foreign Race act so atrociously in my Celestial City Academy!"
Ren Changfeng’s furious voice roared from a short distance away.
Shen Daoxing then saw him rise from the ground, his face ashen and covered in dirt. The unexpected joint attack from Six Ears and his companions had left him in a sorry state, but he was a Spirit Transformation expert, after all. He wouldn’t be defeated so easily.
Taking a single step, a golden light flashed beneath Ren Changfeng’s feet. In the next instant, he shot up from the ground. Leaping high into the sky, he slammed his palm downward. The very air around it seemed to ripple as a giant, golden palm pressed down directly toward Shen Daoxing.
"Old man, your opponents are over here!"
Da Shi’s gruff voice roared. He swung the giant axe in his hand toward the sky, unleashing a crescent-shaped arc of light that whistled through the air.
"BOOM!"
The crescent arc collided with the massive golden palm, erupting in a violent torrent of Primordial Energy.
"KYEHEHEHE! Let’s finish off this old bastard first, then we can take our time playing with these little academy brats!"
Black mist billowed from Mo Ya’s body, transforming into a swarm of blood-red crows that swept toward Ren Changfeng in the sky with a great SWISH.
"He might be old, but his blood should still taste decent enough."
Six Ears cracked a savage grin. Suddenly, his arm began to transform, growing to a length of hundreds of feet before swiping at the sky.
For a moment, the trio—Six Ears, Mo Ya, and Da Shi—and Ren Changfeng were locked in a fierce battle above Celestial City Academy, stirring up chaotic torrents of Primordial Energy.
