Thump.
As the Exquisite Pagoda shattered, Young Master Zhao immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, and his face instantly turned pale.
The Exquisite Pagoda was temporarily lent to him by the family. This was the family’s supreme treasure. The elders and the family head both treasured it very much. Once he finished using it, it would be returned.
But what had happened now?
The Exquisite Pagoda actually shattered. Even Young Master Zhao, who had activated the Exquisite Pagoda slightly, spat out blood and suffered a backlash.
He glared at Lin Feng, and a trace of blood seeped out of the corner of his mouth. He roared almost hysterically, “You… You actually dared to destroy the Exquisite Pagoda! You’re dead, dead. No one can save you!”
Once the Exquisite Pagoda was destroyed, the Zhao family would definitely be enraged. Forget about half-Chaotic cultivators, even if they were a true Chaotic lifeform, it was not impossible for the Zhao family to deal with them.
Back then, the Perfected Person of the Zhao family was not an ordinary Perfected Person, but a terrifying entity who had killed another Chaotic lifeform. No one knew how many treasures the ancestors of the Zhao family had left for the Zhao family.
“Shut up.”
Lin Feng did not pay attention to Young Master Zhao’s threat. So what if the Exquisite Pagoda shattered? It was just a Chaotic artifact. He did not take it seriously.
After the Exquisite Pagoda shattered, Ao naturally broke free. Although it was slightly injured when it was suppressed, this was nothing to Ao.
When he saw Lin Feng, Ao Fei pounced to Lin Feng’s side and rubbed against his feet affectionately, like an intimate pet.
Lin Feng patted Ao and said, “All right, I know you’ve suffered. Apart from that Young Master Zhao, the others can pay for what they did to you.”
Ao’s three massive heads immediately shook. With a ferocious glint in its eyes, it immediately pounced towards the nine peak Chaotic lifeforms behind Young Master Zhao.
“Form the array!”
The nine of them tried to set up the array, but with Ao’s speed, what was the use even if they set it up?
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
As streams of light flashed, Ao practically swallowed each of them in one gulp. Its three heads devoured the nine half-peak Chaotic lifeforms in a frenzy, sending chills down one’s spine.
“Ah… No, no…”
“Save me, Young Master, save me…”
“Run, hurry up and run…”
No one was willing to die. Even though these people were all cultivators of the Zhao family, they were still half-peak Chaotic lifeforms. Who would want to die at Ao’s hands?
Moreover, they would die without their corpses intact, being devoured by Ao.
However, how could they escape from a Chaotic dire beast that excelled at speed like Ao?
In almost a few moments, Ao had already devoured nine peak Chaotic lifeforms. It even burped, as if it was very satisfied, and glared at Young Master Zhao menacingly.
If Lin Feng gave the order, it would devour Young Master Zhao without hesitation.
Seeing Ao’s appearance, everyone’s hands and feet turned cold. This was the true behavior of Chaotic dire beasts. Those were nine experts at the peak of the half-Chaotic realm, yet they were all devoured in one gulp. Just the thought of it was terrifying.
Swoosh.
Without any hesitation, Li Qingyuan waved his walking stick and transformed into a wisp of smoke, trying to escape silently.
“Hmph!”
Lin Feng snorted coldly. The surrounding Chaotic aura suddenly shook, and under Li Qingyuan’s incredulous gaze, he was thrown out immediately.
“You’re a Chaotic…”
Li Qingyuan’s expression was horrified. Before he could finish speaking, Ao had already pounced forward and swallowed Li Qingyuan in one gulp. Even the dignified elder of the Li family, a figure who had dominated the world a hundred years ago, could not escape the fate of being devoured by the Chaotic dire beast now.
For a moment, the entire place fell silent. No one dared to make any abnormal moves.
“Lin Feng, right? I’ll remember you! The Zhao family will also remember you. The Zhao family will definitely pay back today’s grudge tenfold in the future!”
Young Master Zhao’s expression was dark as he bit his lip. His voice was a little indignant.
He was not worried that he would not be able to leave. As a direct descendant of the Zhao family, he naturally had a lot of treasures on him. However, now that the Exquisite Pagoda had shattered, and the half-peak Chaotic lifeforms of the nine families were dead, he would definitely be severely punished for such a huge loss even after he escaped.
Even if he was a direct descendant, his future prospects in the family were over. At this thought, Young Master Zhao wished he could rip Lin Feng into pieces.
Buzz.
Young Master Zhao took out a talisman that emitted a golden light. Immediately, the talisman shone brightly with golden light. A strange power enveloped Young Master Zhao. Instantly, he transformed into a golden light and disappeared.
“Hmm?”
Lin Feng was a little surprised. The power of that golden talisman was indeed very miraculous. Its way of using the Chaotic aura was actually better than his. Even Lin Feng would find it very difficult to crack it.
In fact, ordinary Chaotic lifeforms could not crack it at all.
However, Lin Feng was no ordinary Chaotic lifeform. Apart from being a Chaotic lifeform, he was also a Transcendent, a Transcendent with an internal universe!
“You can forget about leaving. Come back!”
Lin Feng shouted and casually grabbed at the distant void. The cosmic power in his body erupted instantly.
“Argh…”
A scream sounded in the void. A few kilometers away, a figure staggered and appeared at once. Lin Feng casually manipulated a huge hand made of Chaotic aura to grab him.
“Impossible, absolutely impossible. This is the Zhao family’s Thousand-Mile Traversal Talisman. Even a Perfected Person can’t crack it. How can you possibly capture me?”
A trace of fear appeared on Young Master Zhao’s face. He could not even understand how the Thousand-Mile Traversal Talisman could be cracked.
“There are still many things you don’t understand. Young Master Zhao, right? Do you want to die, or live?”
Lin Feng’s tone was calm. Beside him, Lang Da and Ao both looked menacing, which terrified Young Master Zhao.
But in this situation, what else could he do? Even the Thousand-Mile Traversal Talisman had been cracked. There was no way he could escape even if he wanted to.
“Live, of course I want to live!”
Young Master Zhao said through gritted teeth. Who wouldn’t want to live? Even an ant would struggle for the sake of survival. Moreover, he was a dignified descendant of the Zhao family in Shangyang City. How could he want to die?
A smile appeared on Lin Feng’s face. He did not continue asking and said to Qi Xuan, “I never want to see the Li family in Red Phosphorus City again!”
“Senior, I understand!”
Qi Xuan lowered his head respectfully.
Lin Feng then carried Young Master Zhao in one hand and leaped forward. In a few leaps, he had returned to the Qi family’s library.
Thump.
Lin Feng threw Young Master Zhao to the ground.
Young Master Zhao appeared to be in a rather sorry state, but he did not dare to flare up at this moment.
“If you want to live, you have to prove your value!” Lin Feng said calmly.
Young Master Zhao gritted his teeth and took off a silver soft armor on his body. He said in a low voice, “This Silver Heron Armor is a Chaotic artifact, enough to withstand a strike from a Chaotic lifeform.”
Previously, Young Master Zhao had relied on this silver soft armor to resist Ao’s attack with the nine half-peak Chaotic lifeforms of the Zhao family. However, he did not manage to hold out for long, which meant that this armor was not too strong.
“Not enough!”
Lin Feng did not even glance at this soft armor.
Young Master Zhao thought for a moment and took out all kinds of artifacts. However, these artifacts were a litte and unique, but they were only semi-Chaotic artifacts at most, and had not even reached the Chaotic level. What was the use to Lin Feng?
“Still not enough!”
“What exactly do you want?”
Young Master Zhao took out everything he carried. Seeing that Lin Feng was still dissatisfied, he could only grit his teeth and ask.
“The cultivation techniques of your Zhao family, all kinds of martial arts and spells.”
“What? You want all kinds of martial arts and spells from my Zhao family? That’s impossible. Do you know that if the martial arts and spells of the Zhao family get out, the Zhao family will definitely hunt you down? They’ll never tolerate it!”
“Oh? Doesn’t your Zhao family already want to hunt me down now?”
Young Master Zhao was slightly stunned. Indeed, Lin Feng had already offended the Zhao family to the extreme. Destroying the Exquisite Pagoda and killing nine half-peak Chaotic lifeforms was already a mortal feud. How could the Zhao family let Lin Feng off?
“All right, since you’re not afraid of death, what do I have to fear?”
Young Master Zhao simply gave Lin Feng all the cultivation techniques, martial arts, and spells he knew.
However, towards the end, Lin Feng frowned slightly.
Although these cultivation techniques, martial arts, and spells were very exquisite, they were all only at the half-Chaotic level of life. What was their use to Lin Feng?
“No cultivation techniques for Chaotic lifeforms?”
“How precious are the cultivation techniques for Chaotic lifeforms? Forget about the cultivation techniques for Chaotic lifeforms, even Chaotic-level martial arts and spells are incomparably precious. They are the core secrets of every major faction. Even as a direct descendant of the Zhao family, I am not qualified to come into contact with these techniques before breaking through to the level of a Chaotic lifeform.”
“Nothing?”
Lin Feng frowned. He had thought that capturing Young Master Zhao, a direct descendant of the Zhao family, would allow him to obtain the cultivation techniques of Chaotic lifeforms, or Chaotic-level martial arts and techniques. He did not expect to still find nothing.
“In that case, what’s the point of keeping you around?”
Seeing the trace of killing intent flickering in Lin Feng’s eyes, Young Master Zhao’s entire body trembled. He hurriedly said loudly, “No, no, keeping me alive is useful. It’s definitely useful! I’m a direct descendant of the Zhao family. My father is an elder of the Zhao family, and a peak half-Chaotic lifeform. I’m my father’s only heir in the past century. Father will definitely try his best to save me. At that time, there will be an endless stream of Zhao family members coming. With your strength, wouldn’t capturing them be a piece of cake?
“At that time, won’t it be easy for you to get something out of us? Our Zhao family is an ancient family that has existed for 100,000 years. Our foundation is profound. We have 3,000 Doctrine Scrolls, and every scroll contains top-notch martial arts and spells…”
Before he could finish speaking, Lin Feng’s expression turned solemn. He said in a low voice, “What did you say just now? 3,000 Doctrine Scrolls?”
“That’s right, 3,000 Doctrine Scrolls. Each scroll is of top quality. There must be a technique you need within.”
In order to survive, Young Master Zhao had disregarded everything. He would talk about everything he knew, and absolutely would not conceal anything.
Seeing Young Master Zhao’s flustered and ingratiating expression, Lin Feng nodded and said, “Looks like you’re still of some use. In that case, I’ll keep you for a few days. If the people from the Zhao family aren’t of enough importance, you know the consequences.”
“I understand, I understand. Don’t worry, Father will definitely do his best to mobilize the important people in the family. You will definitely gain a lot.”
At this point, Young Master Zhao had long understood that Lin Feng was very likely really a cultivator who was a Chaotic lifeform, an invincible Perfected Person!
