Kong Sheng had his possum-playing friends were all quite unlucky and suffered the trampling of the excited kings. Those were all dazzling people who were emitting powerful energy fluctuations.
The bones of those on the ground were immediately fractured and assaulted by a literally marrow-deep pain. They couldn't help but let out beastly howls.
"Aou…"
Even playing dead doesn't work?! Kong Sheng and his group wanted to curse out loud. They had already been pummeled half dead and now they were suffering wound upon wound.
"Dammit!"
The person near Kong Sheng, an expert on good terms with him, was struck in the groin by a beam of light. His face immediately turned green as he shot up and bounced around with miserable cries before running away in pain.
No one had noticed them before, but now they had attracted some attention. Some people asked Chu Feng if he wanted them to make a move.
"Brother Chu, should we deal with these peacock bastards?"
Kong Sheng and his group immediately turned tail and ran after hearing this. However, all of them were limping because they had been smashed violently by Chu Feng's purple gold lightning hammer.
It took them quite the effort to run away.
Thump!
The old monster of Mount Changbai shot through the air after seeing them from afar. His hair and beard were all white like an old immortal. He possessed the style of an immortal Taoist but his foot wasn't careless at all. The old man kicked the group until they were rolling and crawling on the ground in various inelegant postures.
Plop! Plop…
The group rolled on the ground like gourds and were finally kicked into Lake Xuanwu in the end with more broken bones. Their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen as they spat out a mixture of blood and teeth.
They were suffering from unbearable pain. The scene was too miserable.
Kong Sheng's lungs had almost exploded from the anger. The others were also cursing various obscenities. What rotten luck! They weren't let off even after playing dead on the ground. How hateful!
At the same time, they also trembled after understanding that the current Chu Feng had once again become an honored guest of many a top-grade power. They couldn't afford to provoke him.
The Peacock King's face twitched. He didn't care anymore after seeing that the group of young people were not in mortal danger. He released multicolored lights as he rushed towards the Nine-lives Cat, because his ally was on the verge of death.
At this time, the Cat King had reverted to his true form to become a giant bright-colored cat. However, no one was more miserable than him at this moment—many patches of his bright fur were missing and he was in a total mess.
His tail had received special "attention". It had been attacked by countless people and was now in a sorry state. The cat was stomping his feet and cursing. He had never hated anyone so badly.
These vicious people were absolutely no good. They all listened to Chu Feng, locked onto his tail, and attacked it relentlessly. The lustrous and beautiful tail was broken again and again until it completely vanished.
"Meow!"
The Nine-lives Cat cried out in fury. The pain was only secondary to the pain and indignation. A stately top-grade expert like him was an awe-inspiring entity and could look down on experts wherever he went. But now, he was disgraced like so.
It was too humiliating. Flowers had blossomed from his buttocks from all the attacks. The crane's flying knife, the roc's claws, and the dragon's fist— who would be able to take it when all of them came together?
The Peacock King arrived. He didn't want to see the cat being humiliated or even killed but it was useless.
That was because there were simply too many assailants. The Peacock King was also attacked and his body was stained with blood.
"Meow!" The Nine-lives cat let out a cry and shouted at everyone, "Stop!"
He couldn't stand it anymore. If this were to continue, he would have absolutely no dignity left to speak of. He was being beaten wildly and humiliated.
The kings paused for a moment, but various energy beams came flying again the next second. The Cat King had to scuttle and bounce away with dark red bloody patches all over his body.
The Nine-lives cat was absolutely enraged. He cried out furiously in the end.
"Meow! This king is telling you to stop! My tail has already been obliterated!"
After saying these words, the Nine-lives Cat's face was green, and he wanted to find a crack in the earth to dive right in. That was because he turned around to find that his butt was completely bald.
The Golden Roc King, White Crane, and the others finally stopped and looked towards Chu Feng.
"Let it be. He's too pitiful." Chu Feng shook his head sympathetically.
The Nine-lives Cat wanted to curse out loud and hoped he could slap Chu Feng to death. He couldn't stand it after receiving the pity of his arch-enemy.
There were a large number of experts and famous people. The place was densely packed with people from various places—India, Europe, the East and even those from the ocean had arrived. All of them were staring at the Cat King's tail.
Splosh!
The Nine-lives Cat jumped into Lake Xuanwu. He dived into the depths and disappeared because he was too ashamed to stay.
"The Nine-lives Cat has committed suicide in the lake!"
"The Nine-lives Cat has an unyielding temperament and has taken his life due to the shame!"
Someone on the island shouted.
The Nine-lives Cat was enraged and wanted to scream out loud. Resolute your arse! Suicide your head! He had only escaped into the water because he was too ashamed to stay.
Swoosh!
The Peacock King immediately left carrying Kong Sheng.
Thump! Thump! Thump…
In the distance, Gao Yuan was bruised and battered. He was extremely furious after being surrounded and pummeled. His earlier spirit, calmness, and confidence had all vanished.
One had to admit the Baji School's young master did indeed possess unfathomable strength and his fist arts had reached near perfection. Eight lightning balls appeared and began to revolve around him. Even the air in the vicinity was distorted.
Boom!
A bolt of lightning shot into the water and erupted in dozens of water splashes.
In the end, Gao Yuan was overcome by grief and indignation. Both his arms were fractured and one of his legs was also broken. He was very strong and capable of putting up a fight, but he could do little against a mob. Hence the tragic outcome.
Gao Yuan wasn't able to run away and lay completely immobile on the ground. He was gasping for breath and almost beaten to death!
"Damn your grandpa!" He could stand it no longer. How could a cripple have so many supporters? The other party didn't even act personally but had almost reduced him to a stiff corpse.
If these people weren't fearful of his centenarian grandmaster, he would probably be dead by now. They would probably do him in secretly amidst the chaos.
In the distance, Hu Sheng, Xiong Kun, Lu Qing and the others were flabbergasted. They had personally witnessed the whole process and found it too excessive. Chu Feng had calmly turned everything around.
The silver dragon Recura, with his long white hair, was emitting a brilliant glow as he stared at Chu Feng from afar. He felt everything was too outrageous—he had already crossed out Chu Feng from his list of rivals before coming to the East. Who would've thought this man was so capable of "tormenting" people! He was still doing this even after being crippled!
The high monk from India put his hands together in solemn prayer and seemed as if he was reciting a prayer. But someone nearby overheard him mumbling, curse it!
At this time, the Dragoness was standing with Chu Feng and chatting away happily. Her smile was able to move everyone's hearts.
She possessed long aqua blue hair which shone under the sunlight. Her skin was as white as jade and her eyes were full of spirit. Her beautiful nose was tall and her lips, bright red.
The two were extremely agreeable as they discussed matters regarding domains. The Dragoness was doing her best to rope Chu Feng in.
The corporate agents weren't willing to fall behind. Some of them went up because they didn't want the Dragoness to be ahead of them. Before long, many people had crowded over.
Things had developed to the point where Chu Feng's business was a big success. All parties wanted to work with him. After a short discussion, no small number of people decided to have him nurture their weapons.
Chu Feng pondered if perhaps he could construct a major weapon nurturing domain. He wasn't quite satisfied with a small unit domain anymore and wanted to fight for success in one go. He wanted to remove all the defects from the black and white grinding stone within his body.
Soon, Chu Feng and many other kings stood on the grass with wine glasses in their hands, conversing happily and clinking their glasses. He was quite delighted because he had achieved some of his initial intentions.
Others in the distance could no longer sit still after becoming aware of the situation. The weapon nurturing domain was able to produce divine weapons like flying knives. This was a major event! It would let many kings possess spiritual weapons.
Soon, even those who weren't top grade king level entities had come forth to find out the situation. The grassy area became quite lively.
The Hollow Jade Temple Master stood in the distance. Although his expression was calm, there were great waves deep within his eyes and fluctuating emotions in his heart. Things had completely exceeded his expectations.
The one-armed Eight Visions Temple Master had also arrived. He stared fixedly at the diamond chakram on Chu Feng's hand and then glanced at the weapon nurturing domain with flickering eyes.
"Who would've thought his attainments in the field of domains are that astonishing? He's even more talented in this than walking the path to evolution!"
A light flashed through their eyes as the two temple masters glanced at each other.
At this time, the people were talking together cheerfully after taking care of each other's benefits. Chu Feng's conditions weren't too severe—he would nurture his own weapons in the domain, and most importantly, he wanted various types of ancient texts on domains!
He wanted every book related to domains. This was the remuneration he yearned for the most.
This was normal in everyone's eyes. Chu Feng had abandoned the path to evolution and was going to focus his attention on the study of domains. Naturally, he would require all these secret collections.
The various corporations and some top-grade powers were thoroughly relieved after seeing that Chu Feng's demands didn't involve ancient fist art manuals or breathing techniques. They glanced at each other and revealed a smile, completely convinced that Chu Feng was crippled and would no longer walk the path of evolution.
If that was the case, he would no longer be a threat in the future but an extremely valuable collaborator!
"Heh, heh, we once excavated an ancient remains and dug out a certain bamboo tube that's in good condition. Although there aren't any records of domain arts within, there are some legends about certain ancient domain masters and accounts of their methods. The contents are astonishing; herding whole primordial mountain ranges, burning the skies and boiling the sea, exploring secrets and setting foot into phoenix nests… there are many unimaginable secrets within!"
It was an elder from Bodhi Biogenetics who had spoke just now. He told Chu Feng that they could gift the bamboo tube to Chu Feng.
Although he said it was a free gift, but everyone knew that it was a trade. It was just that Bodhi Biogenetics knew how to conduct themselves. They wanted to express their generosity and make things pleasant to hear.
Chu Feng returned the favor with a smile. "Very well, I'll look forward to it. Later on, I'll construct an intricate and perfect domain to nurture secret treasures!"
Qi Honglin from the Pre-Qin Research Institute was already an old king in the past. Now, his strength had increased again by a huge margin. This wasn't the first time he had dealings with Chu Feng. Back then, he had gifted Chu Feng the jade stone containing the Demon Flood Dragon Fist as an apology.
"Our Pre-Qin Research Institute had once excavated a great mausoleum from the warring states era. Within it are some bronze wares with ineffable symbols carved upon them. They look extremely similar to domain symbols. We'll gift them to you later on."
He was very forthright and direct.
However, Chu Feng knew that this old man had always been shrewd. He was saying they possessed some bronzewares, but there actually should be a whole batch of them. They wouldn't give everything to him."
However, he wasn't in a hurry either. He would slowly dig out all the ancient books related to domains from the great corporations and advance his studies.
"Seamonkey, return to the eastern sea immediately and ship all the carved stones at the bottom of the sea here!" the Dragoness ordered.
She told Chu Feng that those stone carvings contained various domain symbols. Unfortunately, she was unable to grasp them even after a long time and as there was no one else proficient in this field, she had decided to give them to Chu Feng.
Many people were visibly moved by this great gift.
Chu Feng was also quite astonished at how generous this Dragoness was. He expressed his gratitude and stated that he would do his utmost to help her nurture treasures.
Jiang Luoshen's eyes flashed in the distance. She was truly amazed after witnessing all of this. She looked on as Chu Feng became the target of pursuit for various parties as they scrambled to collaborate with him.
She was somewhat entranced and emotionally stirred. She felt this fellow was too abnormal—he was still able to stir up the wind and waves even after being crippled. He didn't stay long in the trough and was still an influential figure.
An elder from Bodhi Biogenetics came over and said with a seemingly sincere attitude, "Luoshen, you and Chu Feng spent the night together on Mount Putuo last time and it can be said that you have a close relationship with him. Although he's encountered a low tide, we're not so short-sighted. I think this is a good opportunity for you to take it to the next step with him!"
Jiang Luoshen turned back and punched the elder in the eye rather disrespectfully, leaving him with a bruise.
"Ah, what's wrong with this child? I actually watched you grow up you know? I was also watching as you two entered the same room last time. Isn't this all for your own good? Why are you hitting me?" The elder lamented his misfortune.
"Damn old fogey, you dare to say just about anything just to rope in a domain researcher!"
The old man lowered his voice and said, "Doesn't Chu Feng share a close relationship with Lin Naoi? Their relationship isn't very clear. I'm just afraid the cooked geese will fly away. And you'll gain a victory in the affairs of the heart if you can snatch away your opponent's boyfriend. This will come as a blow to her."
"What kind of rotten ideas are these?!"
…
On the other side, Chu Feng had begun to negotiate the details of his cooperation. He told them that he needed magnetic stones and top-grade jade stones as soon as possible.
This wasn't a problem at all for the various tyrants. They had the resources and methods to fulfill his requests.
Chu Feng nodded with a smile. This was what he cared about the most. Those ancient domain books and antique notes were all secondary. What he needed urgently was to borrow their power for recovering his strength and breaking through!
He felt that the Nine-lives Cat's words were quite true. In the end, one would still have to depend on himself. External powers were like rootless duckweeds.
Naturally, the study of domains was equally important. It was something he couldn't abandon and had to allow it to grow and germinate. In the future, he would be able to explore phoenix nests and construct major domains that could devour the mountains and rivers, allowing him to seize the fortunes of every stars and realms.
