Chapter 1453 - 1456: King of Hell!!!

Lin Feng was shocked upon hearing Mage Hong Yi’s words. A mysterious woman who could break through a mid-Innate level expert’s acupuncture technique using her own cultivation—how strong was she really?! At this moment, Lin Feng truly hoped Mage Hong Yi had made a mistake in judgment; even if that black-clad woman was rescued by her allies, it would be better than this result.

While Lin Feng, Mage Hong Yi, and the others were immersed in self-blame and contemplation, two new guests arrived on the mountain path leading up to Jiming Temple...

Zhou Yang, having received Lin Feng’s call, drove hurriedly all the way to Wu Family Village. He quickly rushed from the underground dungeon with the extremely weakened Jade Raksha, cuffed and shackled with steel restraints, speeding towards Jiming Temple. Fortunately, with little traffic on the road late at night, Zhou Yang pushed the car to a speed nearing 260 km/h, close to taking off, yet suffered no accidents.

Now, nearing one in the morning, Zhou Yang, carrying Jade Raksha, walked upward toward Jiming Temple while pulling out his phone, planning to call Lin Feng to inquire about the situation...

Up until now, Zhou Yang was still unclear about the purpose Lin Feng had for him bringing Jade Raksha over.

However, just as Zhou Yang was about to dial the number on his phone, he suddenly noticed a woman abruptly appear before him—an extremely beautiful woman!

This woman, in the cold, biting wind, wore only a simple, fitted practice suit. Her incredibly graceful figure looked explosively powerful, and her pair of beautiful starry eyes stood out sharply in the night. From any aesthetic angle, this woman was perfect and alluring, capable of captivating nearly any man with her charm!

Yet Zhou Yang was not captivated by this woman... because he clearly saw that she was standing suspended in the air, more than twenty centimeters above the ground...

An inexplicable chill instantly surged from his heart to his spine, and Zhou Yang immediately felt countless cold sweats oozing from his back.

The next moment, Jade Raksha beside Zhou Yang displayed an expression of surprise and instinctively greeted that strange woman in the Middle Eastern language...

Zhou Yang was a man who had mingled in the Middle East; although not highly proficient, he could understand the words Jade Raksha just called out.

"Honorable Sect Hierarch! You have personally come to this godless place?!"

Instantly, Zhou Yang’s heart sank to the bottom! Zhou Yang knew very well Jade Raksha’s identity, being the Holy Girl of the Sky Slaughter Organization, which meant the woman before him hailed as Sect Hierarch was naturally the legendary King of Hell!

It was the King of Hell... Zhou Yang felt bitterness in his mouth!

A renowned ruler in the Middle East, the target that mercenary groups and killer organizations worldwide dared not provoke, touted as the underground world’s top expert, undefeated in killing—this King of Hell appeared before him just like that?!

At this moment, Zhou Yang had almost no thoughts of resistance, only a desire to flee immediately... For some reason, Zhou Yang suddenly felt that successfully escaping would not be disgraceful but rather something to celebrate?!

However, Zhou Yang had no time to dwell on this; the eerie woman turned her gaze, and a pair of eyes brighter than the stars locked onto him... then Zhou Yang felt as if an invisible mountain weighed down on him, making his entire body unbearably heavy, unable to move!

Immediately following, Zhou Yang sensed his body’s acupuncture points and meridians suddenly collapse, as numerous strands of Inner Strength with crisp, crackling sounds seeped through them. In mere seconds, Zhou Yang felt ninety-nine percent of his Inner Strength dissipate completely...

What kind of method was this... Zhou Yang could hardly comprehend such an unprecedentedly terrifying martial arts technique. Just being looked at physically dispersed his cultivation; if he were stared at longer, wouldn’t he be utterly squeezed dry?!

With great effort, Zhou Yang raised his head and saw an even more terrifying scene... The pure Inner Strength dissipating from his body now lingered, resembling a white, hazy energy barrier, somewhat suspended a meter before him, spiraling into an oval-shaped cluster... And that eerie woman casually extended a finger, remotely controlling the energy cluster, slowly moving it next to Jade Raksha...

"Thank you, Sect Hierarch, for your gracious gift!" Jade Raksha gratefully spoke, thanking the woman excitedly.

At this moment, no explanation was necessary; Zhou Yang understood the terrifying woman’s purpose was to use his Inner Strength to supplement Jade Raksha’s cultivation...

But this method was too terrifying! Without physical contact, she could completely transfer one person’s Inner Strength to another; at this point, Zhou Yang almost couldn’t resist the impulse to cry, lowering his head, watching the phone lying powerlessly on the ground from lack of strength. Zhou Yang’s only thought was that even in death, he must seize the opportunity to relay this news to Lin Feng!

However, Zhou Yang realized he now lacked even the slightest bit of strength, like a bedridden invalid of many years; merely opening his eyes had already expended immense energy...

...

Meanwhile, at Jiming Temple, Lin Feng had already prepared to patrol every corner of the temple alongside Mage Hong Yi, attempting to locate the hidden mysterious culprit. Suddenly, a ringing phone snapped his attention.

At the instant the call sounded, Lin Feng suddenly realized he had overlooked something...

Zhou Yang!

Sure enough, upon answering Xiang Wang’s call, Lin Feng heard an astonishing piece of news...

"Boss, I’ve been tracking Brother Zhou’s cellphone signal. Ten minutes ago, he arrived at the foot of Jiming Temple with Jade Raksha; he should be ascending the mountain path now. However, for the past five minutes, Brother Zhou’s phone location hasn’t moved at all... Something may have happened on his end!"

Although Xiang Wang spoke with conjecture, Lin Feng understood well that Zhou Yang would never halt inexplicably midway without task completion; something had definitely gone wrong!

"So the villain’s already fled to the mountain’s base?!" Mage Hong Yi, always attuned to Lin Feng’s actions, revealed a flicker of unusual tension. "Benefactor Lin Feng, we should rush over right away!"

"Wu Mei, you stay in the temple; I’ll head down the mountain with Mage Hong Yi!" Lin Feng decisively turned back, resolutely instructing Wu Mei.

"Lin Feng..." Wu Mei said somewhat sadly, reaching out gently stroking Lin Feng’s face, her voice trembling, "You, you must be careful... You must come back alive!"

Unlike many women, despite worrying, Wu Mei refrained from impulsively following; she knew that now was no time to hold Lin Feng back; otherwise, she would instead endanger him.
