“Shura, the grudge between us doesn’t warrant this.”
“Must you go this far, determined to drive me to my death?”
“Aren’t you being too vengeful?”
“I truly misjudged you.”
Tuoba Chengan’s words weren’t harsh; instead, he sounded aggrieved, still clinging to a sliver of hope for survival.
Looking at Tuoba Chengan, Chu Feng gave a faint smile.
After all, Chu Feng knew their enmity better than anyone.
Given Tuoba Chengan’s actions, Chu Feng would never let him go.
Thus, Chu Feng began setting up a formation.
The formation glowed with radiant golden light, exuding a sacred aura.
As it enveloped Tuoba Chengan, his pain immediately lessened.
He could even feel his dantian being strengthened, along with his physical body and soul.
His vitality became far more resilient than before.
“Thank you, young friend, thank you!”
Tuoba Chengan thought Chu Feng was sparing him.
Overwhelmed with relief, he wept, kowtowing and bowing to Chu Feng.
Chu Feng looked puzzled. “Why thank me?”
“Young friend Shura, you’re magnanimous, letting go of past grudges. I’m endlessly grateful.”
“You’re like a parent reborn to me. I’d serve you like a beast of burden!”
Tuoba Chengan grew more excited, acting as if he’d truly follow Chu Feng’s lead.
But deep down, he knew that even if Chu Feng spared him, he wouldn’t be grateful.
On the contrary, he’d remember that Chu Feng nearly killed him today.
If he had no chance, so be it. But if an opportunity arose, he’d surely seek revenge.
Such was Tuoba Chengan’s nature.
Ruthless and cunning.
Conscience? It didn’t exist in someone like him.
His acting was impeccable; others might have been fooled.
But not Chu Feng.
Looking at the hypocritical Tuoba Chengan, Chu Feng’s smile widened.
“You’re overthinking it. This formation isn’t to spare you.”
“I saw your body was too weak, so I used the formation to make it more resilient.”
Chu Feng said with a cheerful grin.
“What… what do you mean?”
Tuoba Chengan’s grateful gestures froze, his face turning grim as he realised things weren’t as simple as he thought.
“How are you so dense? As the Supreme Elder of the All Heavens Sect, your comprehension is pitiful.”
Chu Feng’s smile turned mocking as he looked at Tuoba Chengan.
“What exactly do you mean?”
Tuoba Chengan’s face darkened, increasingly certain that Chu Feng’s healing wasn’t out of kindness.
“Fine, fine, I’ll let you die with clarity.”
“I healed you and strengthened your vitality because I don’t want you to die too easily.”
“Got it now?”
Chu Feng spoke with a triumphant smile.
After saying this, he glanced at the demon beasts.
At this, Tuoba Chengan finally understood.
Chu Feng wanted to torment him thoroughly, which was why he used the formation to heal him.
Realising the truth, Tuoba Chengan’s hopes shattered, and he cursed in rage.
“Shura, you beast! You’ll die a horrible death!!!”
Knowing he couldn’t survive, Tuoba Chengan cursed Chu Feng while lunging at him.
He was ready to fight to the death.
But even before his dantian was pierced, he wasn’t Chu Feng’s match. How could he harm him now?
With a casual wave of Chu Feng’s hand, without even touching him, the gust of wind sent Tuoba Chengan tumbling to the ground.
Lying there, he lacked even the strength to stand.
The once-mighty Supreme Elder of the All Heavens Sect was as frail as a powerless old man before Chu Feng.
This wasn’t just because Chu Feng had pierced his dantian.
It was also due to the formation Chu Feng set up.
While it made Tuoba Chengan’s vitality stronger, it restrained his remaining power, rendering him essentially powerless.
Looking at Tuoba Chengan, lying on the ground, pounding it in fury yet helpless, Chu Feng sneered and turned to the demon beasts.
“His cultivation has been crippled.”
“Don’t you want to take revenge for your grudges?”
Chu Feng said loudly.
He didn’t plan to act himself but wanted the demon beasts to torment Tuoba Chengan.
Their sharp claws could cut through rock; imagine them on Tuoba Chengan’s body.
Chu Feng found the thought thrilling.
He believed letting these beasts deal with Tuoba Chengan was the greatest punishment for him.
In fact, even before Chu Feng spoke, the beasts had gathered, glaring viciously at the prone Tuoba Chengan.
Their eyes burned with deep hatred.
But they hesitated to act, still fearful.
Chu Feng could guess what they feared.
“Don’t worry. The All Heavens Sect has been destroyed. He’s just a stray dog now.”
“If you kill him today, you’ll regain your freedom. Whether you stay as masters of this place or leave, it’s your choice. No one will trouble you.”
“Oh, and feel free to be ruthless, but remember, leave his origin to me.”
Chu Feng continued.
Roar—
At this, the beasts finally acted.
In an instant, they surrounded Tuoba Chengan.
Countless sharp claws stabbed at him.
The tormented beasts began their frenzied revenge.
Under such torment, Tuoba Chengan screamed incessantly, but even amid his wails, he gritted his teeth, cursing Chu Feng.
“Shura, you insidious thing! You’ll die horribly, you’ll die horribly!”
“I, Tuoba Chengan, even as a ghost, won’t… won’t spare you.”
But his curses didn’t last long, as the beasts tore him apart, killing him.
After his death, the beasts neatly parted to either side.
They knelt uniformly before Chu Feng.
“Thank you, Lord, for saving us. The Underground Iron Beast Clan will never forget this kindness for generations.”
A thunderous voice echoed.
These beasts not only had intelligence but could speak.
Their gratitude wasn’t just for Chu Feng eliminating Tuoba Chengan.
Before revealing himself, Chu Feng had used spirit techniques to seal the whips above and the refining formation.
This spared their kin from further slaughter.
They saw and remembered it all.
“No need to thank me. I had a grudge with him.”
“Even if you spared him, I wouldn’t.”
“But did it end so quickly?”
“Letting him die like that feels too lenient for this old thing.”
Chu Feng glanced at Tuoba Chengan.
Under the beasts’ countless claws, he was no longer recognisable.
His death was gruesome.
But Chu Feng still felt it was too easy for someone like him.
Had he known the beasts’ torment would be so brief, he’d have dealt with Tuoba Chengan himself.
