Chapter 280: All Accomplishments Revealed
Translator: Alsey Editor: Chrissy

The Golden Condor King was dissatisfied when he was suppressed back at Mount Lu and had harbored a grudge. Now, however, he was completely resigned to his fate after seeing this human’s ferocity.

What did he see? He witnessed Chu Feng destroy corporations, kill the Nine-lives Cat and he was now about to chase down the Golden Crow. All this made the condor palpitate.

The Golden Condor King didn’t go against Chu Feng. He spread his wings cooperatively amidst strong winds.

“Catch!”

The black yak was weak and limp after landing. All of his energy had been drained by that one attack, leaving him completely exhausted. He was barely able to toss the staff into the air and into Chu Feng’s grasp.

Yellow Ox didn’t feel quite at ease. He leapt onto the Golden Condor’s back to join the chase.

Strong winds raged as the Golden Condor crossed the vast skies. He went faster and faster until they reached four times the speed of sound. They were chasing after a peerless expert with the intention to kill.

One fleeing in front while the other hot at his tail—the two were like supersonic bombers, emitting explosive sounds as they rushed into the distance. The scene astonished all the life forms they happened to pass by.

Unfortunately, the Golden Crow had not only gained a headstart but was also a peerless expert with six severed shackles. His speed was somewhat faster.

Even despite his grievous wounds and one of his wings close to being torn off, he was still able to reach astonishing speeds under desperate conditions. He was leaving the Golden Condor King farther and farther behind.

“Golden Crow King, stop fleeing if you have the guts!” Chu Feng shouted from behind, but unfortunately, his voice wasn’t as fast as their traveling speed and was destined not to reach the enemy.

They hunted the crow all the way from Gusu City to the Jiangxi Region.

In the end, however, they still lost their quarry. Chu Feng was incomparably regretful that he wasn’t able to slaughter this peerless bird king.

The news had been leaked!

“Something big has happened! Demon King Chu has pierced the skies once again!”

The location of the battle between the Nine-lives Cat, the Golden Crow, and Chu Feng was too close to Gusu City. Some people had noticed the battle back then. They didn’t dare approach and could only watch from the distance.

They weren’t clear about the exact situation, but the scene they witnessed in the end shocked them.

They saw the Golden Crow flying into the air carrying the Cat King’s torn corpse and Chu Feng chasing after him. The spectacle deeply impacted everyone’s mind.

They pieced together the various clues and reached a conclusion which petrified everyone!

At this point, many had already deduced what had actually happened but the truth was a great challenge to everyone’s nerves. Two peerless experts were defeated and one of them, the Nine-lives Cat, had even lost his life.

Everyone was stupefied!

“Didn’t Chu Feng just conquer two corporations? How come he’s fighting against peerless experts now? The frequency of his battles is simply too fast and too sudden.”

“He’s truly a god. Does he plan to break through the horizon?!” The people couldn’t help but sigh.

Not to mention ordinary people, even the king level entities felt their hearts racing and were somewhat dizzy. Who could ever hope to be a match for Chu Feng? Defeating two peerless experts meant that he had truly risen and now stood among the most powerful experts!

Previously, the conceited veteran experts were still confident despite the commotion Chu Feng was causing. But now, they didn’t feel so fearless anymore.

Who could claim themselves to be stronger than the Nine-lives Cat? That king was a natural assassin, a slaughterer who walked in the shadows, but now he had been killed by Chu Feng.

The dignitaries of certain corporations could no longer sit still. They felt their chest tightening and their vision darkening. The deep uneasiness of this suppression was almost suffocating.

Chu Feng was becoming increasingly powerful. His strength had far exceeded their expectations!

He wasn’t this powerful when they previously moved against him. Chu Feng was but a warrior with four severed shackles and was already half-dead. They had thought he would never walk out of Jiangxi alive.

Hei Teng was bound to kill him as soon as he recovered. There should’ve been little suspense considering the difference in their levels.

Furthermore, the Peacock King was traveling south to kill him and had commanded the various kings to search and hunt him down.

His traces were soon found. Dozens of king level experts worked together to subdue him and demand his breathing technique.

What shocked everyone was the sudden development. Everything changed that fateful night. Chu Feng miraculously cut a bloody path through them and managed to escape.

Many believed that it wasn’t due to a wrong assessment but that something unexpected had occurred that night.

Chu Feng’s successful escape after battling the host of kings only proved that his breathing technique was indeed extraordinary. This aroused the desire of many major powers.

Unfortunately, no one was successful. On the contrary, they found themselves stuck in a swamp as Chu Feng’s astonishing martial accomplishments awed everyone.

Some corporations were now truly terrified and had become increasingly uneasy.

The more powerful Chu Feng grew, the more restless they became.

“Who can beat this Demon King Chu? Can no one wipe him out?” Some beast races lamented.

The Nine-lives Cat was slaughtered and the Golden Crow was chased down. This news came as a huge blow to the beast race and toppled everything they believed in.

Some were worried and distressed while others were delighted.

“Haha… God Chu is truly heaven-defying. He rose to power with great momentum after killing his way out of the encirclement at Jiangxi and is no longer afraid of the suppression of peerless experts.”

The ordinary people were happy. Many of them remembered the good Chu Feng did by slaughtering the Ashwolf and supported him all along the way.

At this time, the marine race was fairly calm. They didn’t think too highly of Chu Feng’s martial accomplishments because they had seen even more terrifying experts!

The vast oceans were boundless and exceeded the continent in many aspects.

Some time ago, a certain marine region was dyed completely red after a battle for a certain divine fruit. The number of experts who died there were more numerous than those on the continent.

After coming ashore, many of the marine race were conceited and overconfident.

It was no exception this time. Someone commented disdainfully about this matter.

“Merely at this level.”

The marine race’s evaluation of Chu Feng’s martial accomplishments wasn’t very high. They played him down and weren’t really impressed.

“It can be considered not bad for a human. He’s not much weaker compared to the geniuses of the flood dragon and sea tiger tribes.”

Some marine race kings were objective in their assessment and didn’t quite despise him.

“It’s unfortunate that they’d ganged up on Hei Teng and killed him. Otherwise, this Chu Feng would’ve been killed long ago and wouldn’t have the chance to hop about like this.”

Some marine race experts felt great pity. They felt that the glory should’ve belonged to the Black Dragon Crown Prince while the human race youth’s accomplishments ought to pale in comparison.

In truth, some marine race experts were intentionally belittling Chu Feng precisely due to this reason.

“Hollow Jade Temple, you will suffer the flames of the Southern Sea Dragon Race’s wrath!” Some of them had found proof that the Hollow Jade Temple Master had appeared near Mount Sanqing, and some people had personally witnessed his presence.

At present, many marine race experts believed that the Hollow Jade Temple Master had worked together with other experts to kill Hei Teng.

That was also why the marine race believed that Chu Feng was fortunate not to have encountered Hei Teng. They speculated that Chu Feng was vastly inferior to Hei Teng and would’ve been killed without a doubt if they had crossed swords.

Chu Feng was dumbfounded after hearing the news. Was he purged of all “suspicion” just like that?

Previously, the marine race had suspected his hand in this matter and hated him to the bones, but now the Hollow Jade Temple Master had become the target.

At the same time, Chu Feng was somewhat surprised. Did the Hollow Jade Temple Master really appear near Mount Sanqing?

Lu Tong was speechless after hearing this news. He immediately contacted the Hollow Jade Temple Master and warned him to make ample preparations. The marine race might perhaps invade the Hollow Jade Temple.

The Hollow Jade Temple Master was dumbstruck. He opened his mouth for quite a while but no words came out!

The Mastiff King of Kunlun, the Elder Ape of Greatwoods Temple and the Golden Roc of Mount Hua successively praised the Hollow Jade Temple Master for his extraordinary abilities.

“It wasn’t me,” the Hollow Jade Temple Master denied. Although gaining such an accomplishment allowed him to intimidate the world, the danger associated with it was too great. He might become a target of the marine race’s vengeance and would be challenged continuously.

Additionally, it really wasn’t him who had committed the murder. He wasn’t willing to become a scapegoat!

The marine race believed he was the one who killed Hei Teng because there was proof that he had gone to Mount Sanqing before.

“I was only passing by,” the Hollow Jade Temple Master explained.

The marine race found this excuse to be quite laughable. Passing by?! It sounded like an intentional provocation!

Following that, some people also stated that they had seen the Eight Visions Temple Master come to Jiangxi. They guessed that the two temple masters had worked together to rob the great killing weapon of the Southern Sea Dragon Race.

This caused quite a commotion. The arrival of two temple masters was naturally quite significant.

What happened next changed everything.

Chu Feng had massacred everyone and washed all the kings with blood at the battle of Mount Yunluo and among them was an expert with six severed shackles. His identity was revealed as Qian Yue of the three-eyed marine race.

The previously captured satellite images only showed masses of light. The experts were enshrouded in energy as they engaged in intense battles. There was no way to see their true appearances.

But a large number of military and research personnel were dispatched. It was impossible for all of them to stay tight-lipped and the news was leaked in the end.

The marine races were all dumbfounded. They were intentionally playing down Chu Feng, saying how fortunate he was to have avoided Hei Teng’s vengeance and that he would undoubtedly die otherwise.

But such an accomplishment had spread in the end.

The three-eyed race expert Qian Yue was even more powerful than Hei Teng by a small margin. Even such a person had been defeated. This caused those conceited marine race life forms to lose all face.

Later on, some people began to analyze Chu Feng’s numerous accomplishments. They posted comparative photos of the traces left behind from the battle at Mount Yunluo and the one outside of Gusu City, asking professionals to comment on them.

In the end, everyone’s expression became increasingly odd the further they looked into this case.

That was because the vestiges left behind from the battle at Mount Sanqing were extremely similar to the ones at Mount Yunluo and Gusu City.

“Well, I’ll be damned. It couldn’t be, could it? Was Hei Teng also killed by Chu Feng?!” Even some revered elders of the beast race couldn’t help but spew out obscenities. They were all shocked silly.

This caused a huge sensation. Everyone started to research this matter in a frenzy. They compared the images of the wreckage left behind by the battles and came to an almost unanimous suspicion.

No matter how they looked at it… everything seemed like Chu Feng’s handiwork. The pattern and degree of destruction were too similar.

Finally, someone found a footprint on a large rock at Mount Sanqing and discovered, after careful comparison, that it matched Chu Feng’s.

The marine race flew into a rage due to the humiliation. They had repeatedly stressed that it likely wasn’t Chu Feng’s doing and that his abilities weren’t sufficient. But in the end, they had suffered such a resounding slap in the face.

The most exasperating thing was that this Chu Feng hadn’t spoken a word since the beginning till the end as if he was the disinterested party and everything was unrelated to him.

“The dog that truly bites won’t easily reveal its fangs!” The marine race members were furious and began to say all kinds of vulgar things because they felt that they had been tricked by Chu Feng.

It almost seemed as if the outside world was struck by a grade 12 earthquake. All the major powers were dumbstruck. After all was said and done, these recent major incidents were all caused by Chu Feng.

Many people were thoroughly speechless. This Demon King Chu was even more ferocious than they had previously known.

The black yak, the Donkey King, and the others were also discussing this matter.

“What a coincidence! Could the Temple Master have revealed it on purpose? Perhaps he didn’t want to play the scapegoat and decided to push you out into the open.”

There was no peace within the Jiangxi Region. Most of the marine race experts who had come ashore were gathered here to assail Mount Longhu and occupy the Ancestral Court of Taoism.

“Chu Feng, you sure are capable! Just tell us one thing. Was it or was it not you who killed Crown Prince Hei Teng?!”

The marine race experts were all truly enraged. Many drastic words were spoken. Some planned to challenge Chu Feng, some claimed they would assassinate him, while others said that Hei Teng’s father, the Elder Dragon of the southern seas, would definitely come ashore to take Chu Feng’s head.

“The southern sea flood serpent meat is truly not bad,” Chu Feng commented. These few words had seemingly poked a hornet’s nest. Even the various powers from the continent were momentarily dumbstruck. This man was truly unafraid of provoking trouble and seemed prepared to fight to the end.

He was already on his way north as he spoke those words. He soon arrived at Jiangning City, the hometown of Deity Biomedicals.
