Chapter 1436: Narrow Encounter Between Foes

However, upon hearing these words, Chen Fei merely smiled slightly, then shook his head and said, “Why should I tell you?”

Immediately, Dong Junlin’s gaze froze, becoming unfriendly.

“It seems, Your Excellency, that you are not prepared to speak civilly with me?” Dong Junlin stared at Chen Fei with a hostile gleam in his eyes, as if regarding prey that had fallen into their trap.

Of course, he did have such confidence.

The Dong Family had at least six or seven Ancient King Level experts, and those like Demon Sovereign Dong Tianqing of Changye and Aurora Ancestor Dong Biejun were basically at the bottom in terms of strength! Yet, Dong Junlin ranked third among them, just behind the two oldest undead in the family.

Moreover, he held Tu Mo’s Treasure Cover in his hand, the Supreme Spiritual Weapon of the Dong Family. For the might of such a weapon, any Ancient King Level cultivator would harbor no doubt.

The only troublesome issue was that within the Ruins of the Divine Emperor of the Four Elephants, his spiritual energy was suppressed by about thirty-five percent, though Chen Fei should be facing the same situation. So he need not concern himself with these factors.

With this in mind, he became even more determined to keep Chen Fei here!

First, for the prestige of the Dong Family!

Second, it was evident at a glance that the exotic beast’s corpse was undoubtedly a top-tier treasure. Such a matter, once leaked, could result in many troubles, so it was better to nip it in the bud by killing Chen Fei.

However, while Dong Junlin intended to target the Void Qilin Beast’s corpse, Chen Fei was likewise no exception. At this moment, he seemed to have made up his mind. The Imperial Bloodline, a once-in-ten-thousand-year chance, was an enormous opportunity, and to miss it would be akin to a crime!

Thus, he had resolved to pursue the plans of the Divine Emperor of the Four Elephants and the experiments.

He desired the innate divine abilities of the Void Royal Clan’s Void Qilin Beast!

Therefore, Dong Junlin, Dong Tenglong, and the others had naturally become obstructions.

“I don’t think there’s anything for us to discuss,” Chen Fei said, narrowing his eyes as he stared at the coldly arrogant Dong Junlin. In reality, he was already considering how to kill the other party.

Nonetheless, the Supreme Spiritual Weapon was indeed a considerable threat.

Feeling Chen Fei’s gaze, Dong Junlin was taken aback, then coldly glared at Chen Fei, saying, “You want to kill me?”

However, Dong Tenglong and Dugu Qing were both slightly stunned, staring at Chen Fei.

Clearly, they never expected that in such a situation, Chen Fei not only did not think of escaping but also exuded killing intent towards Lord Dong Junlin?

Could it be that he intends to…

Dugu Qing’s eyes revealed a complex mixture of intrigue and uncertainty.

But at this moment, Dong Junlin had already made the first move!

His eyes locked onto Chen Fei like a bloodthirsty eagle, and deep within them, a heart-palpitating murderous intent erupted violently.

For a long time, Chen Fei had merely been an ordinary prey that could be easily dealt with in his eyes.

For what was an Ancient King Level expert to him? Dong Junlin had killed them before, not to mention, this time he wielded Tu Mo’s Treasure Cover, which filled him with supreme confidence, making him feel invincible.

Yet now, this prey, previously seen as easily dealt with, dared to exude killing intent towards him first, naturally triggering a deep sense of irritation and dissatisfaction as if his pride had been insulted.

Boom!

Thus, the moment Dong Junlin chose to strike, an immensely powerful spiritual energy erupted from his body like a volcano. In an instant, the palace was filled with a tremendously oppressive aura, making it hard to breathe.

Quickly, Dong Junlin shot out like a swift dragon, his palm radiating with intense lightning, crackling and colliding terrifyingly, releasing an overwhelming force as it slashed downward at Chen Fei’s head.

“Thunderstorm Sky-Ripping Fist!”

With waves of destruction and wild lightning… This Thunderstorm Sky-Ripping Fist was at least an ability above the Two Star Minor Divine Ability! Perfectly executed in Dong Junlin’s hands, it displayed terrifying power. Quite formidable.

Evidently, though Dong Junlin was arrogant, he was not foolish! He knew that for Chen Fei to cause such trouble for many Ancient Kings of the Dong Family recently, he must have some real skills, and thus could not be underestimated.

The Thunderstorm Sky-Ripping Fist was a Two Star Minor Divine Ability, which he had comprehended to the third stage, the perfect mastery stage, one of his trump cards, a feat many Ancient King Level experts could not achieve.

Thus, at this moment, locked onto Chen Fei amidst the chaotic thunderstorm tornado, Dong Junlin’s eyes carried a smirk as if he was ready to witness Chen Fei being torn apart under this strike.

However, just as Dong Junlin attacked Chen Fei, Chen Fei also reacted.

Boom!

Suddenly, his body radiated with dazzling purple light, the True Qi of Purple Firmament. His internal surging blood and energy exploded like a symphony of dragons and phoenixes.

His arm was filled with terrifying energy forming light points, covering it like stars in the sky, incredibly astonishing.

“Nebula Fist!”

This punch directly collided with Dong Junlin’s fist, the impact and dazzling force were terrifying, even transforming into a chaotic meteor shower.

Such a scene was undoubtedly frightening, with light in two colors, Thunderclap and Purple Firmament, falling like raindrops, all suffused with an unsettling aura, causing Dong Tenglong and Dugu Qing to retreat a great distance with changed expressions.

Observing the sky, Chen Fei stood there unharmed and immobile.

In the distance, Dong Junlin’s gaze showed a hint of surprise and grimness.

“So you possess such strength, no wonder that waste Dong Biejun fell at your hands…” Dong Junlin coldly said, squinting as he looked at Chen Fei.

His strength had long surpassed the realm of ordinary Ancient King Level cultivators, and he did not hold back in his attack, yet Chen Fei could match him evenly, proving one point.

That was Chen Fei’s strength had reached the same level! No wonder this guy was so arrogant.

“What?!” In the distance, Dong Tenglong, who had retreated far away in distress, saw Chen Fei was able to contend with his invincible Ancestor Junlin, and didn’t falter, his pupils shrank instantly, followed by an uncontrollable surge of infinite jealousy.

How could it be that such a monstrous genius like him, at his age, could only trail behind Ancient King Level experts, while Chen Fei, about his age, if not younger, could already stand against Ancestor Junlin head-on?

Why is it so?

He was unyielding!

“Ancestor, use Tu Mo’s Treasure Cover, this filthy beast must be slaughtered!”

Fueled by jealousy, Dong Tenglong shouted directly.

Chen Fei’s eyes narrowed slightly. Dong Junlin let out a cruel sneer.

“You forget I still have the Tu Mo’s Treasure Cover…”

Saying this, the gray, porcelain-cover-like object that Chen Fei had seen before appeared in Dong Junlin’s hand.

Chen Fei’s gaze slightly sharpened. In the previous encounter, he had felt Dong Junlin’s strength, which indeed was formidable, stronger than him! If not for the spiritual energy suppression in the ruins, he might not be a match for the opponent, so if the opponent now wielded a Supreme Spiritual Weapon, it would truly be a thorny issue.

“Haha, are you scared now?”

Seeing Chen Fei slightly losing composure, Dong Junlin chuckled and said, “I admit your strength is not bad. Normally, even if I could defeat you, killing you would be difficult, but alas, your luck seems to be quite unfortunate…”

With a cruel smile, Dong Junlin stared at Chen Fei, coldly saying, “Although this Supreme Spiritual Weapon is a demonic artifact, I can only utilize seventy to eighty percent of its power, but it’s more than enough to kill you, right?”

His face showed a faintly mocking expression, as if he relished using words to push someone to despair, shattering their mental defenses, and then slowly crushing and tormenting them!

Because he had absolute confidence in himself, in such situations, he could absolutely kill an Ancient King Level cultivator!

But, he couldn’t have imagined, at this moment, Chen Fei was not as simple as he thought.

So, just as Dong Junlin was about to enjoy the anxious, fearful, even desperate look on Chen Fei’s face, an unexpected soft laugh echoed.

“Haha…”

Upon hearing Dong Junlin’s words, Chen Fei slightly hesitated, then his lips curled into a faint smile.

Immediately followed by a murmuring voice that sounded near their ears.

“So it’s just a demonic spiritual artifact in a half-wasted state, seems like it’s not that big of a deal after all…”

A Supreme Spiritual Weapon in a half-wasted state was actually a good thing, especially when it’s a demonic spiritual artifact.

Let’s not forget his primary cultivation technique, Spiritual Qi of Meditation Sutra naturally counters various negative spiritual energies like demonic Qi, corpse Qi, and ghost Qi. It’s like heaven is favoring him!

Such a Supreme Spiritual Weapon, suppressed and exploited, what’s the difference from the half-step Supreme Spiritual Artifact he holds?

In conclusion, the threat of the Supreme Spiritual Weapon to him had already greatly diminished.

Meanwhile, upon hearing his murmuring, Dong Junlin’s mocking grin froze, morphing into an extremely sullen expression, staring intensely at Chen Fei.

“I hope when I beat you half to death later, you can still utter such thoughtless, ignorant nonsense!”

…

Evidently, Chen Fei’s attitude had thoroughly infuriated him.
