Chapter 299: Punishment
Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu
This huge Broken Star Fish was like a giant super drill head. The incredibly tough rock was unable to withstand a single strike from it at all!
‘Holy sh*t, what a big Broken Star Fish! Is that the old ancestor of all these tiny Broken Star Fish?’
Bei Feng’s eyes widened as he retracted the line. There was no reason to let such a large Broken Star Fish go!
Taking out a fist-sized piece of meat, he threaded the hook through the meat and cast the line back into the pool.
“Sou!”
The long Broken Star Fish swam slowly through the water. At the same time, its body began to vibrate at a speed not visible to the naked eye!
All of a sudden, it suddenly accelerated, and a small wave appeared on the top of the water. Before he could do anything, the Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King meat on the hook had already disappeared.
‘Good fellow, its speed is pretty fast!’
Bei Feng clucked his tongue with surprise. This was the first time he had ever seen a fish that could move so fast through water!
Bei Feng was not flustered by the result of his attempt. He took out another piece of meat, attached it to the hook and infused his blood and Qi energy into the fishing rod.
When the Broken Star Fish appeared once again, he controlled the last two meters of the line, instantly forming a loop with it!
The tough body of the fish barreled forward with unstoppable force. With how fast it was traveling, it was too difficult to switch directions or to turn back now. In the blink of an eye, the fish had its head caught in the loop!
Under Bei Feng’s control, the flexible fishing line turned rigid and tightened, easily cutting into the Broken Star Fish’s head!
The Broken Star Fish struggled with all its might, but the more it struggled, the deeper the cut became! A milky white liquid poured out from its wound, dying a portion of the lake pale.
Bei Feng wasted little strength, easily lifting this huge Broken Star Fish up. Right now, the fish was already deader than dead, and its head was even nearly separated from its body.
With a thought, the Broken Star Fish’s body was kept into the spatial ring. Then, not delaying further, he set off towards the faraway reopened passageway.
It was unknown what events had transpired in the time he had been in seclusion. Despite walking for a long time, he did not meet a single Demonic Beast. When he first stepped foot in this place, the roars of countless Demonic Beasts could still be heard all around him!
At this moment, a group of bespectacled old academics were standing in the passageway. Behind them was a large group of youths, all holding notebooks and clipboards.
Some soldiers were standing protectively around them, armed with live ammunition. The old academics were examining a shattered dragon sculpture with a pained expression on their faces.
This was precisely the scene Bei Feng saw when he finally reached the passageways. The corner of his lips twitched lightly as he observed these people. They were truly courageous!
Not mentioning those heaven-covering swarms of purple gold mosquitoes and bats, even the appearance of a random Grade 2 or 3 Demonic Beast with thicker hide would cause over half of the people here to die!
Bei Feng walked forward calmly, as though this was a normal street in his village. Hearing the sound of his footsteps, the group of old academics looked up with shock. Following that, their shock immediately turned into rage!
“Hey you! You! Stop! Yes, YOU! How did you get in here? Don’t you know that this is an ancient tomb? If you broke something valuable, would you be able to afford it?!”
Deng Wentai pointed at Bei Feng angrily.
Bei Feng’s face was filled with black lines at this moment. He indeed wished to break some valuable items! But that Martial King’s coffin was simply too terrifying. With a cold snort, he ignored the old man and continued walking out.
One of the youths, called Jiang Feng, called out coldly, “In my opinion, this person is very suspicious! Maybe he stole something from this historical site! Don’t let him get away!”
Following that command, the group of soldiers immediately went forward and surrounded Bei Feng. Their orders from the top was to take their instructions from these bunch of archaeologists and ensure their safety in this place.
“Look at the way he’s remaining silent and walking away. He must have a guilty conscience!”
Jiang Feng kept the notebook in his hand and pushed up his spectacles.
The other students also looked over curiously. As Jiang Feng had pointed out, the circumstances were certainly strange. The more they looked at Bei Feng, the more they found him to be suspicious.
The soldier in the lead greeted Bei Feng politely and said, “Sir, please allow us to conduct a search on you.”
“Hmph, impudent!”
Bei Feng snorted coldly. He didn’t seem to have moved, but a slap was sent flying out towards Jiang Feng.
A palm formed by blood and Qi energy landed on Jiag Feng’s face. With a wretched cry, he stumbled to the ground. One side of his face was completely red, and had already swollen up.
People like him who held no proof but liked to judge others as guilty were truly detestable.
This slap was just a small punishment to teach the kid a lesson so that he would know what was meant by ‘from a ready tongue, misfortunes births’!
Bei Feng stepped out lightly and instantly appeared several dozens of meters away. Following that, his figure swiftly disappeared.
The group of people felt goosebumps traveling through their skins as a chill went down their spines. That wouldn’t be a ghost, right? How could a human move so quickly!
The soldiers looked at each other with some shock. They knew that there was a bunch of martial practitioners who entered this place previously. But didn’t they all leave about half a month ago? Why was there still one more coming out only now?
Bei Feng found it too troublesome to talk with the authorities, which was why he simply left without saying anything.
At this moment, Qin Wufa was standing on a mountain peak not far away, casting his gaze silently at the exit of the underground crypt.
After he made his breakthrough, Qin Wufa had spent all his time searching for Bei Feng and the three Fake Dan experts. But despite having searched the entire place and asking many martial practitioners, no one had seen Yi Zheng and the others at all.
“Could it be that he perished together with the three old f*cks? But that’s impossible!” Qin Wufa mumbled to himself. Standing behind him were a few elders from the Qin Clan.
This time, the Qin Clan had entered the ancient crypt with over a hundred Xiantian Lords, including the seventeen Elders at mid stage Xiantian and above.
But when they came out, about a quarter of them were missing! This was a loss of over twenty Xiantian Lords, including two elders!
However, Qin Wufa’s breakthrough to the Controlled Dan realm meant that not only did the Qin Clan not turn weaker, they had even grown stronger! To be able to break through to the Controlled Dan realm in the current day and under such circumstances was a testament to the genius of Qin Wufa! In that period of time, the Qin Clan was exceptionally dazzling!
But at this moment, the man himself was in no mood to celebrate. Instead, his mood appeared somewhat abnormal ever since he left the ancient crypt!
Anyone could easily sense the rage and worry in Qin Wufa’s heart. And this rage seemed to be growing stronger and stronger as time passed!
The three elders standing behind him also felt a great deal of trepidation in their hearts. They had a feeling that the rage in Qin Wufa’s heart would not be able to be suppressed for much longer!
And who knew what kind of heaven-shocking consequences would come out of this rage when it exploded after being repressed for so long!
“HAHA!”
Just when the three elders were shifting their feet with unease, they suddenly heard Qin Wufa laughing aloud like a mad man. A bead of sweat ran down their brows as they looked at each other. What the hell was wrong with this fellow?!
Qin Wufa directly leapt off the cliff like an eagle and swooped down the mountain!
Flying was an innate ability unique to practitioners at or above the Controlled Dan realm. The moment one broke through to the Controlled Dan realm, they would naturally be able to control the energy around them to fly through the air. The ability did not need to be learned, and was as if it was a part of them all along.
Of course, even a Controlled Dan Heavenly Expert could not fly an unlimited distance. A primary stage Controlled Dan Heavenly Expert could roughly traverse about 100 kilometers in continuous flight.
That was because flying expended a great amount of energy. Even Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts would find it hard to maintain flight for a long time!
Still, as long as the speed of their flight was lowered, the energy expenditure would naturally be much lower.
