Chapter 147 - 133: Yun Feng’s Death

Chapter 147: Chapter 133: Yun Feng’s Death

He glanced at the people of the Demon Dao across from him, then finally turned to Su Tan.

Sensing the gaze, Su Tan nodded, signaling him to do whatever he saw fit!

Seeing this, Yun Buliu’s gaze grew resolute. His brows furrowed, a fierce light blooming in his eyes as he locked onto Yun Feng.

"Master, spare me... spare me! For the sake of our past bond, for the sake of me once being your disciple, and for the times we were like father and son, please spare me just this once! Your disciple knows he was wrong. I really know I was wrong!" Yun Feng begged bitterly, hugging Yun Buliu’s thigh.

He wept bitterly, snot and tears streaming down his face, completely devoid of the dignity expected of a Saint Grade Alchemist.

No one had expected a dignified Saint Grade Alchemist, a mythical figure who usually stood high above the masses, to be so pathetic. When faced with death, he too would cry like a baby. It was truly surprising!

"Today, I will cleanse our ranks and destroy you, you unfilial wretch!" Yun Buliu shouted. "Die!"

Ignoring Yun Feng’s bitter pleas, he thrust his palm straight toward Yun Feng’s forehead.

The most critical moment had arrived.

Su Tan’s heart leaped into his throat. Did the people of the Demon Dao truly not care about Yun Feng’s life, or were they merely playing hard to get, preparing for a desperate counterattack? The answer would be revealed right now!

"Get ready to support Yun Buliu at any time. If the Demonic Creatures make a move, kill them without mercy!" Su Tan ordered.

"Understood!" Little White Wolf’s eyes locked onto the Demonic Creatures. Its sharp claws quietly slid out, ready to strike at a moment’s notice.

RUMBLE...

Yun Buliu’s palm, capable of splitting monuments and shattering rocks, swiftly descended toward Yun Feng’s forehead. Everyone present was tense to the extreme. It seemed Yun Buliu’s palm was about to crush Yun Feng’s head, and a massive battle was bound to erupt.

SWISH—!

In the end... nothing happened.

The Demonic Creatures stood quietly from beginning to end, watching Yun Buliu attack without any intention of interfering. Little White Wolf forcefully held back its Saint Dao power, preventing it from erupting, and Yun Chu’s Thin Sword remained in its sheath.

On the arena!

Yun Buliu’s palm ultimately failed to shatter Yun Feng’s skull. When it came to Yun Feng, he was still indecisive. He couldn’t bear to do it!

One could call him weak, but of course... one could also say he valued love and loyalty. After all... this person, who was currently hugging his thigh and begging for mercy, had once slept peacefully on his lap for countless nights. This was the same boy who had looked up at him with eyes full of admiration, calling him ’Master’ time and time again!

He couldn’t bear to do it! His expression shifted rapidly, but he still couldn’t bring himself to deal the killing blow.

BAM!

After a brief pause, Yun Buliu kicked Yun Feng away.

"That kick was for failing to repay the grace of raising you!"

THUD!

Another kick!

"That kick was for your hypocrisy!"

THUD!

Yet another kick!

"That kick was for failing to repay the grace of teaching and guiding you!"

THUD!

"That kick was for the crime of betraying your master and desecrating your lineage!"

THUD!

"And that kick is for being a heartless and ungrateful wretch!"

Yun Buliu did not finish Yun Feng off with a single strike. Instead, he delivered kick after kick. It seemed like he was venting his anger. It also felt like he was pouring out his grievances.

"Look closely at the scumbags you associated yourself with! They couldn’t care less about you. They’re just watching you die, yet you thought you were so important to them?"

SPURT!

Yun Feng vomited blood. He clutched his stomach, wailing in agony!

Yun Buliu raised his leg to strike again, but stopped when he saw that Yun Feng was already beaten half to death.

"Forget it... forget it. A son’s unfilial behavior is the father’s fault. For you to turn out like this today, it’s also because I failed to discipline you properly. I will spare your life today, but from now on, we have nothing to do with each other. Our ties are completely severed. Although I still don’t know how I mistreated you or let you down back then..." Yun Buliu turned around. "The next time we cross paths in the martial world, it will be a fight to the death!"

He couldn’t bear to look at Yun Feng any longer.

Seeing Yun Buliu’s back turned to him, Yun Feng’s curled-up body suddenly exploded with power, killing intent bursting from his pupils.

"Go to hell!"

He actually launched a sneak attack from behind. Leaping up like a cheetah, he aimed straight for the back of Yun Buliu’s heart.

"Incorrigible!"

SQUELCH!

However, Yun Buliu was already prepared. He whipped around and thrust his hand out. Knocking aside Yun Feng’s attacking arm, his hand pierced right through Yun Feng’s chest like a blade.

Blood splattered!

From Yun Feng’s chest and back, dark red blood erupted in streams.

"Ah..." Yun Feng let out a miserable shriek. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth as the life in his eyes gradually faded, turning dull and gray.

SILENCE!

The entire scene was dead silent.

Yun Buliu had shown mercy time and again, but Yun Feng had courted death himself. In the end, he got what he deserved! His sneak attack failed, and he was killed instead! It was a perfect ending!

A few seconds later, the Demonic Creatures broke the silence.

"Haha... Congratulations, Master Yun, on getting your wish! You have slain your rebellious disciple and cleansed your ranks!"

Shockingly... from the very beginning until now, they hadn’t made a single move! They truly just stood by and watched their companion get killed. It was astonishing.

It was one thing to remain unmoved while their comrade was slain, but to actually congratulate the killer? What was going on here?

"Now that we’ve borne witness, and Yun Feng has met his deserved end, there’s no point in us staying here any longer. Besides... you all seem to harbor deep prejudices against us people of the Demon Dao, so you likely wouldn’t welcome our prolonged stay. In that case... we will take our leave," the central Demonic Creature said, crossing its arms. "I imagine you will all prefer this decision!"

Its gaze casually swept past Su Tan and Little White Wolf, finally lingering on Su Tan’s face for a moment.

Shockingly... it bowed slightly!

Was that a salute?

Then, it turned around.

"The mountains are high and the rivers are long; we shall meet again!"

They were leaving just like that? Were they really just going to walk away?

"Hold on. You all know you are of the Demon Dao, and the Demon Dao has never been on good terms with us. If we’re being precise, there is a blood feud between us. We are not friends, but mortal enemies... What do you think Celestial Fragrance is? A place you can come and go as you please?" Yun Menglong demanded.

The five figures paused.

"Hehe... What else, then? What do you want to do? Kill us?" The leader didn’t look back as it continued, "Killing us is fine, but... you’d better think carefully. You are merely the Celestial Fragrance Empire. If you provoke the Demon Dao, what will be the consequences? Furthermore, you are currently on the brink of war with neighboring nations, especially the Feiyue Empire. You are already stretched too thin. If you make enemies of the Demon Dao as well, I’m afraid that when the time comes..."

The Demonic Creature’s voice trailed off, leaving the threat hanging in the air.

"If you want to kill us, then come at us. If not... we are leaving!" The five Demonic Creatures didn’t even turn their heads as they walked away, exposing their backs to the people of Celestial Fragrance.

What sheer arrogance!

Yun Menglong clenched his fists and looked at Yun Chu, seemingly seeking guidance.

"Let them go!" Yun Chu said, her eyes fixed on the departing figures of the Demonic Creatures. "Right now... we truly cannot afford to provoke the Demonic Creatures. However, in the future..."

"Understood!" Yun Menglong had no choice but to obey.

After all... Yun Chu was the Saintess of the Yun Family. She was the strongest expert in the family! Her words carried significant weight.

As for Su Tan.

Since the Celestial Fragrance Empire wasn’t intervening, he certainly couldn’t be bothered to stir up trouble or incur bad karma. His task today was to protect Yun Buliu. Now, that goal had been achieved.

As for the Demon Dao or whatever, as long as they didn’t provoke him, he was too lazy to invite trouble. After all, the Yin Demon in the Void God Realm was already enough of a headache for him. If he provoked a few more enemies and stretched himself too thin, that would be truly exhausting.

Besides, that group of Demonic Creatures seemed quite polite to him. Without a deep-seated grudge, there was no need to fight to the death. Of course... if that so-called Demon Dao was truly blind enough to provoke him, he wouldn’t be afraid either.

On the arena.

Only Yun Buliu and Yun Feng remained. Having killed Yun Feng with his own hands, Yun Buliu felt terrible.

Dark red blood... covered his hand.

Drop by drop... they formed a string!

DRIP. DRIP. The blood fell from his fingertips.

It was his disciple’s blood. Or rather... it was his child’s blood!

His expression was complex. He looked at Yun Feng, then looked at Yun Feng’s hand.

"Master, I’m sorry..." Yun Feng’s face was deathly pale.

He smiled.

It was as if Yun Buliu had returned to the first time they met. Back then, when Yun Buliu had asked him for water, Yun Feng had given him that very same smile... warm and amiable!

"Why!" Yun Buliu demanded.

He realized that the hand Yun Feng used for the sneak attack hadn’t actually been an attack at all. There was no blade in his hand, and... his arm seemed to have already been fractured. Under those circumstances, a sneak attack could never have succeeded. Yet, he still made a move.

Was he forcing Yun Buliu to kill him?

Why would he do that?

A bad premonition... arose in Yun Buliu’s heart.

Things were out of the ordinary! Extremely abnormal!

From the moment Yun Feng appeared, he had been arrogant, domineering, frivolous, and flippant. He hadn’t shown the slightest demeanor of a Saint Grade Alchemist. Instead, he acted like a vulgar scoundrel. He threw around sarcastic remarks at the drop of a hat and constantly spewed profanities...

Could a person like that, with such a narrow mind... ever become a Saint Grade Alchemist?

It seemed... everything was questionable!

"Master... I’m sorry... your disciple is useless. Please, be careful... beware of the Demonic Creatures... They have their eyes on you. I’m sorry... Master... your disciple didn’t want to..." Yun Feng’s face grew increasingly pallid. "But... if I didn’t do this, I was afraid I would never see you again, Master... My... my Storage Ring... has the answers!

"I’m finally free... Finally... I can lie in Master’s embrace again... and get a good sleep!"

His voice abruptly ceased.

All signs of life faded from Yun Feng.

He was dead!
