War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens - Chapter 2635
Chapter 2635: Zhou Fei
“Zhou Fei has come out!”
“Inexperienced people are usually fearless. This guy just came from Bloody Specter City, and he wants to challenge Zhou Fei for the best stone chamber for cultivation!”
“I heard his name is Duan Ling Tian. Even his name sounds as arrogant as him.”
“You’re right, he’s really arrogant. He has just arrived at the Latent Dragon Abyss, and he’s already challenging the occupant of the best stone chamber. Does he really think it’s easy to take over the best stone chamber?”
Someone scoffed. “If it were so easy, I would’ve already challenged Zhou Fei!”
“How badly do you think Zhou Fei will injure him?”
The onlooker discussed Duan Ling Tian and the occupant of the best stone chamber, Zhou Fei. It was clear from their discussion that they did not think Duan Ling Tian would be able to take over Zhou Fei’s stone chamber.
“Zhou Fei is a Yellow Sun Golden Celestial, he’s also Revered Elder Zhou Tong’s godson. Who hasn’t heard of Revered Elder Zhou Tong? He’s famous in the Nine Specters County!”
“I heard that Revered Elder Zhou Tong took a liking to Zhou Fei because of his innate talent and high cultivation base. Initially, he accepted Zhou Fei as his direct disciple, and later on, he made Zhou Fei his godson. That’s why Zhou Fei who used to be called Chen Fei changed his last name to Zhou.”
“Rumor has it that Zhou Fei renounced his former master to become Revered Elder Zhou Tong’s disciple.”
“I heard about that as well. Zhou Fei’s former master was extremely furious by Zhou Fei’s betrayal. In the end, I heard he was killed by Revered Elder Zhou Tong!”
Someone made a shushing noise before saying softly, “Lower your voice. Are you seeking death?”
The soft discussions in the surroundings were, naturally, heard by Duan Ling Tian. Through this, he learned about the identity of the young man who stood before him.
‘Zhou Tong’s godson?’ Duan Ling Tian narrowed his eyes as he studied the young man called Zhou Fei. Zhou Fei was able to remain calm with no changes in his expression despite the discussions of his betrayal of his former master and how his former master was killed by Zhou Tong. He continued to observe the seemingly unaffected Zhou Fei, unable to figure him out, before he finally discovered a gleam of anger in his eyes. He chuckled inwardly. ‘Well, he’s not as unaffected as he seems to be. I thought he didn’t care.’
Swoosh!
While Duan Ling Tian was still observing Zhou Fei, Zhou Fei made a move. Unexpectedly, he did not move toward Duan Ling Tian. Instead, he made his way to the group of onlookers. His gaze was fixed on one man,
‘It seemed like this man is the one who said Zhou Tong betrayed his former master to follow Zhou Tong.’ Duan Ling Tian recognized the man who seemed to have become Zhou Fei’s target.
At this moment, Zhou Fei said in an icy-cold voice, “I don’t think choosing a leader to follow is a betrayal.” His voice was so cold that it made people feel as though they were in an ice cave.
The expression of the young man who had spoken carelessly earlier changed drastically. He shook his head in panic and hastily waved his hands. “Zhou Fei, I… I was just casually talking. I.. It doesn’t mean anything.”
“Since you dare to utter such words, you should be prepared to pay the price,” Zhou Fei said coldly. His eyes were like chips of ice as he flipped his hand. A knife appeared in his hand instantly.
Buzz!
In the next moment, lights radiated from Zhou Fei’s palm, and the sound of a saber cry rang in the air.
A miserable and wretched cry rang in the air, accompanied by the soft sound of something being cut. The noises were particularly loud since it had been quiet in the Latent Dragon Abyss.
The expressions of the onlookers changed dramatically when they saw this. All of them looked at Zhou Fei warily and fearfully.
Duan Ling Tian’s expression turned grave as he thought to himself, ‘How vicious! He severed that man’s arm just because he had spoken the truth.’
Since there were rules where they were prohibited from permanently crippling or killing anyone in the Latent Dragon Abyss, Zhou Fei did not dare to destroy the arm. This allowed the man to quickly grab his severed arm so he could reattach it.
‘Even if the arm is reattached, he would have to rest for a long time to completely recover. During the healing process, he would have to spend a great deal of energy to take care of his arms to prevent problems in the future. This would inevitably delay and affect his cultivation,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself.
“If it’s not because we’re prohibited from killing and permanently crippling someone in the Latent Dragon Abyss, you would have died!” Zhou Fei said as he coldly looked at the young man whose arm was severed.
The man was so scared that he lowered his head, afraid to meet Zhou Fei’s gaze. He was afraid he would incur Zhou Fei’s wrath again.
Meanwhile, the onlookers, those who were there from the beginning and those who arrived later due to the commotion, looked at Zhou Fei warily.
“He’s so ruthless!”
“We really should avoid offending Zhou Fei!”
At this moment, Zhou Fei shifted his gaze to Duan Ling Tian. He studied Duan Ling Tian in a contemptuous manner for a moment before he said nonchalantly, “You’re Duan Ling Tian? Well, if you sever your arm and kowtow to me three times, I’ll pretend like you didn’t challenge me. Otherwise, I’ll sever all four of your limbs to make you suffer when I defeat you!” His eyes gleamed viciously as he spoke.
The onlookers shifted their attention to Duan Ling Tian instantly, and they began to discuss furtively among themselves.
“It seems like Zhou Fei is truly furious.”
“I wonder if this guy from Bloody Specter City is smart. If he knows what’s good for him, he should sever one of his arms. After all, it’d heal in no time. If Zhou Fei severed all four of his limbs, it would be difficult for him to completely recover.”
“That’s right. It might take a while, but a severed arm would be completely healed with time. However, to have all four limbs severed is a different story altogether.”
“Of course, the process of healing is much more difficult compared to just having an arm severed.”
The onlookers were curious about what Duan Ling Tian would do.
Only Qin Yu was unperturbed. He knew what choice Duan Ling Tian would make. He thought to himself, ‘There’s no doubt Zhou Fei is highly talented for being a Yellow Sun Golden even though he’s less than 100 years old. Unfortunately, his opponent is Duan Ling Tian who’s a monstrous genius…’
The onlooker continued to discuss among themselves. Most of them were certain that Duan Ling Tian would choose to sever his arm instead of persisting to challenge Zhou Fei for the stone chamber with the best cultivation environment.
“Duan Ling Tian, this man from Bloody Specter City, should surrender now that he witnessed Zhou Fei’s strength, right?”
“Well, if he’s smart, he’ll sever his arm, kowtow, and beg for forgiveness.”
“Based on his appearance, he seems like a smart person. He should know what’s the best course of action to take.”
At this time, Duan Ling Tian casually spat out a word as he glanced at Zhou Fei, “Idiot!”
Everyone, including Qin Yu who had confidence in Duan Ling Tian, was shocked by this. They did not expect Duan Ling Tian would scold Zhou Fei who was the godson of the Zhou Tong, a Revered Elder in the County Governor’s estate. Was he not afraid of offending Zhou Tong?
When Zhou Fei regained his senses, he was breathing heavily out of anger. His chest rose and fell quickly as he said, “H-how dare you call me an idiot?” He looked at Duan Ling Tian fiercely as killing intent surged from his body. It was clear he wanted to cut Duan Ling Tian into pieces and turn them into ashes!
Duan Ling Tian frowned impatiently, “Just make your move.” He glanced at the stone chamber before he said again, “I can’t wait to cultivate in there.” The way he spoke was as though the stone chamber was already his.
Meanwhile, the onlookers gasped loudly when they heard Duan Ling Tian’s words. They looked at him as though he was a dead man walking.
“Is this guy from Bloody Specter City insane?”
“Zhou Fei is Revered Elder Zhou Tong’s godson because he’s highly talented. He’s not a weakling. Moreover, he didn’t rely on his relationship with Revered Elder Zhou Tong to obtain the stone chamber with the best cultivation environment in the Latent Dragon Abyss.”
“This guy from Bloody Specter City should have heard us saying that Zhou Fei is a Yellow Sun Golden Celestial. However, he’s acting as though he didn’t hear us at all. Does he think he’s capable of taking on a Yellow Sun Golden Celestial?”
“If he comes from King Qin’s Mansion, he might be strong enough to defeat Zhou Fei. However, he’s from Bloody Specter City where the cultivation environment and resources aren’t very good. How can he possibly defeat Zhou Fei under those circumstances?.”
Everyone, except for Qin Yu, thought Duan Ling Tian was overestimating himself. There was no way he would be a match for Zhou Fei.
At this moment, Zhou Fei said, “How arrogant! Since you prefer to have four of your limbs severed, I’ll fulfill your wish!” His Celestial Origin Energy surged up like a flame, causing the temperature in the Latent Dragon Abyss to rise.
Bang!
A loud explosion sounded in the air as the flame on Zhou Fei’s body seemed to explode before he lunged toward Duan Ling Tian.
Xiu! Xiu! Xiu!
The ear-piercing sound of a saber cry rang in the air, accompanied by the dazzling lights of saber rays.
