Chapter 66 Little Brother, I Want to Eat Grilled Chicken Wings
"What are you doing?"
Fu Zhantian, Qin Xinghai, and Huo Feng were simultaneously filled with shock and fury as they each employed their techniques to defend against the attack.
All three were Peak Martial Saints, and naturally had no problem resisting the chain attacks.
However, the butler just sneered coldly, formed a Hand Formation, and suddenly, wisps of blood mist rose from the bodies of Fu Zhantian and the other two.
The blood mist drifted out, but abruptly turned into red threads that contracted and bound the three of them tightly.
A swath of blood mist also wafted towards the Blood Flame Phoenix, Huo Feng's Pet Beast.
The Blood Flame Phoenix let out a long cry to the heavens, its blood flames raging skyward as it tried to resist.
However, as a Pet Beast, its strength was closely linked to its master.
With the master's enhancement, a Pet Beast of the same tier could potentially be stronger than a Demon Beast.
But now with the master trapped, the Pet Beast's strength couldn't be fully exerted and was weaker than a same-tier Demon Beast.
Moreover, since the blood mist had originated from Huo Feng's body and bore Huo Feng's aura...
...the Blood Flame Phoenix, as Huo Feng's Pet Beast, had its aura closely linked with Huo Feng's and could not resist the blood mist. In an instant, it too was bound.
"Is my True Qi sealed?"
"I also can't unleash the Power of Laws."
Fu Zhantian and Qin Xinghai spoke with tones laced with horror.
Huo Feng shouted angrily at the butler, "Liu Feilong, what exactly are you trying to do?"
"Liu Feilong?"
Long Yufei's eyebrows knitted slightly, "He's actually the State Governor of Lanzhou."
Although she had never met the State Governor of Lanzhou, she had looked through the rosters of Lanzhou's officials before her arrival and knew that the State Governor was named Liu Feilong.
When she had met that "State Governor," she didn't think much of it, but now, hearing this butler's name, she suddenly had a revelation and instantly understood everything.
This butler was the true State Governor of Lanzhou; the previous one they had met was probably the real butler—I suppose a scapegoat offered up by them.
And looking at the current situation, the leaders of the three top forces were likely a part of Liu Feilong's plans as well.
"Lanzhou must produce a Martial Emperor; consuming the True Qi and blood of a hundred thousand cultivators was the first step of the plan, and you three are the second," said Liu Feilong, his face cold and his tone devoid of any emotional fluctuation.
"With True Qi and blood from three Peak Martial Saints, plus what I've absorbed before, I should have enough to break through."
"You dare deceive us?"
The three were outraged and struggled continuously, but it was to no avail.
"Gentlemen, you can't blame me for this—blame only those two rascals for ruining our good plan," Liu Feilong coldly said as he glanced at Chu Xin and Chu Chen.
"If it wasn't for them rescuing the hundred thousand cultivators, after consuming them I could have broken through, and I wouldn't have needed to consume you."
"Bastard!"
The three cursed, and the Blood Flame Phoenix also let out an angry cry.
Liu Feilong paid them no more heed, pointed a finger, and a stream of blood-colored energy flowed into the red Array above; red chains shattered the void as they pierced into the bodies of the three, frantically devouring their True Qi and blood.
Another chain streaked towards the Blood Flame Phoenix.
"Brother, I want roasted chicken wings, don't let him devour that big chicken," Chu Xin said upon seeing this, as she activated her Sword technique and unleashed endless streams of Sword Qi.
The Blood Flame Phoenix, although much larger than the chickens in the village, had a head exactly like a chicken's, and for Chu Xin, it was just an enormous chicken.
"Got it!"
Chu Chen responded and quickly formed Hand Formations, with boundless Sword Energy following close behind.
The Sword Energy and Sword Qi intertwined, unleashing even more terrifying power.
```
Pffch!
Sword and blade crisscrossed, shattering the red chains and slaying the defenseless Blood Flame Phoenix.
Chu Chen reached through the air, grabbed the corpse of the Blood Flame Phoenix, and put it into the Sumeru Ring.
Liu Feilong glanced at Chu Xin and Chu Chen, snorted coldly, and disregarded them.
The priority now was to devour Fu Zhantian and the other two, to enhance his own strength. Once he became a Martial Emperor, killing those two brats would be easy.
"Ai Chirou, Ai Kaorou, can you destroy this Bloodthirsty Soul Capturing Array?"
Long Yufei asked.
Chu Xin shook her head and said, "Auntie Long, we can't destroy this Array."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
They had tried before; they could only smash the red chains but couldn't destroy the red Array itself. Otherwise, they wouldn't have allowed it to exist continuously.
"Destroy the Array?"
Liu Feilong laughed heartily at the sky, "This Bloodthirsty Soul Capturing Array is an Ancient Array, and once established, it can't be destroyed by anyone other than a Martial Emperor. Those two brats are strong, but it's impossible for them to reach the level of a Martial Emperor."
Long Yufei knew this too, she just held onto a sliver of hope.
Chu Chen performed a Hand Formation, and sword energies crisscrossed, shattering the chains that were absorbing Fu Zhantian and the other two, and said in a childish voice, "We can't destroy the Array, but we can shatter the red chains."
Liu Feilong's expression darkened, and he once again spurred a dense mass of red chains, a portion of them attacking Long Yufei and the siblings Chu Xin and Chu Chen, while the rest continued to penetrate the bodies of Fu Zhantian and his companions, carrying on the absorption.
Chu Xin and her brother Chu Chen performed Hand Formations again, swords and blades deployed in unison, extinguishing all chains.
"Damn brats."
Anger flickered in Liu Feilong's eyes.
"Cut!"
Chu Xin and her brother Chu Chen shouted together, as sword energy and blade energy intertwined, slashing at Liu Feilong.
A Blood Shield surged around Liu Feilong, an evil aura permeating, making one's soul and blood tremble together.
But still, under the sword and blade assault, the Blood Shield instantly shattered, and Liu Feilong was sent tumbling backwards, blood spurting wildly.
His strength, under the dual suppression of Fate Power and the Law Domain, could only be exerted by half, naturally he couldn't withstand the attack of the Chu siblings.
"Hmph! You think like this you can kill me?"
Liu Feilong wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his body flashed, and he directly entered the red Array.
Buzz!
The Array vibrated, contracting and expanding continuously, but quickly stabilized.
Thud thud!
The dense sword and blade energies under Chu Xin and Chu Chen's control attacked the red Array continuously, rumbling loudly.
But the Array was indeed formidable; no matter how the siblings attacked, they couldn't destroy it.
"Aside from a Martial Emperor, nobody can destroy this Array."
Liu Feilong's voice came from inside the Array, sounding extremely arrogant.
Then, under his control, the Array transformed into a mass of Blood Fog, directly enveloping Fu Zhantian and the others.
The Blood Fog blocked the view and prevented mental probing, obscuring what was inside, but the pitiful screams of Fu Zhantian and the others continually came through.
The two tried, but they indeed couldn't destroy the Blood Fog, so they gave up decisively.
Chu Chen glanced at the Blood Fog, then turned to look at Chu Xin, and asked in a childlike voice, "Sister, he said that only a Martial Emperor can break this Array? Is our father's Spirit Body a Martial Emperor or not?"
"I don't know," Chu Xin shook her head.
They didn't even know their father's Cultivation Realm, let alone the strength of his Spirit Body.
