Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 848: The Heavenly Foxes Fled

Da Xiongmao and the others looked around the area while taking a deep breath. Half of the area, including the lake and waterfall, was frozen. The other half was burning with dark flames, making rocks, trees, and everything else charred.

They then looked towards Zhang Fei [5], but he was no longer alone in the sky. Since his enemies were numerous and powerful, Zhang Fei and two other clones went to the Evergreen Spirit Haven Realm to help his fifth clone.

The Hellflame Frost Lotus had already appeared in their hands, forcing the natural races to think twice about attacking the three of them, especially since the power of the previous lotus was already so strong.

ʼHusband, how can he have three real clones?ʼ Da Feiyue questioned her husband, Da Xiongmao. ʼLook at them; everything about them is completely similar in appearance, aura, and cultivation.ʼ

ʼThis is also my first time seeing such realistic clones.ʼ Da Xiongmao then ordered the other natural races to be careful, especially since the impact would be devastating if Zhang Fei and his three clones launched all four Hellflame Frost Lotuses.

Zhang Fei and his three clones also did not immediately launch the four Hellflame Frost Lotuses, especially since they were waiting for the system to finish scanning the entire area of ​​the Evergreen Spirit Haven Realm.

Since their focus was on Zhang Fei and his three clones, Da Xiongmao and the others did not notice that there were several other people standing far away behind the clouds.

They were Hun Di, Feng Jiu, Lin Moxian, Yan Yinqing, Qiao Liangren, and Tantai Lingyan. At first, they witnessed Zhang Xiaolong [3] breaking through to the heavenly soul level, and they decided to go with him when he wanted to go to that realm.

”Have you ever seen a fight as absurd as theirs, Master?” Yan Yinqing asked.

Hun Di shook his head slightly. ”The two giantsʼ cultivation is at the 1-Moon Divine Ascension Realm, and the other five are at the 5-Moon Divine Ascendant Realm. Not to mention, there are still a few others at that stage, yet Zhang Fei has the upper hand against them.”

”My daughter told me many things about Zhang Fei, but witnessing their situation made me realize that his true strength was beyond my previous imagination.” Feng Jiu then pointed at them. ”Observe those four lotuses; the fusion of darkness, fire, and ice elements created them. One lotus caused the area to be so chaotic, and those natural races will suffer even more if he uses four lotuses at once to attack them.”

”Itʼs not an easy task to combine his three elements to create the lotus, yet he managed to accomplish it in just a few seconds while also fortifying it with three elemental laws.” Tantai Lingyan spoke with admiration.

Lin Moxian told them straightaway. ”His main advantage is not in his cultivation but in his speed, and he also has many techniques that I have never seen before. His mastery of all his techniques is top-notch, including his speed in executing them. Moreover, his clones are also extraordinary, and their strength is on par with his real body. Fighting against one of them is already troublesome, let alone having to fight against several of them at once.”

Hun Di nodded in agreement with them. ”Their fight is almost reaching its climax, and the outcome depends on Zhang Fei. These natural races, despite their high cultivation, will suffer serious injuries if Zhang Fei launches all four lotuses.”

”I told you that I didnʼt come here to find trouble, and I came specifically for the fox statue, but you guys insisted on attacking me.” Zhang Fei and his three clones immediately raised the four lotuses in their hands up, making Da Xiongmang and the others panic. ”The fox statue belongs to the ten-tailed fox, and the other natural races from other realms know that he is the ancestor of the heavenly fox. Do you think you have more right to own the statue than I do, considering I am a heavenly fox? If you guys donʼt admit youʼre wrong right now, I will destroy this realm directly.”

Da Feiyue was furious because of Zhang Feiʼs threat, but Da Xiongmang immediately stopped her. ʼDonʼt be careless! They can create all four lotuses in a matter of seconds, and they will create another four once they launch the ones in their hands.ʼ

ʼAre we really going to admit our wrongs to that bastard? He has already infiltrated our realm and sacred ground.ʼ Da Feiyue spoke with an angry tone.

”Heh!” Zhang Fei snorted and threw the lotus in his hand toward them.

”Shit! Run!” Da Xiongmang shouted as he pulled his wife, flying away from their position, followed by the other natural races.

However, Zhang Fei suddenly teleported to the front of them, attacking Da Xiongmang and Da Feiyu directly.

*Bam... Bam...*

Da Xiongmang and Da Feiyu blocked his attacks and attacked him back, but Zhang Fei teleported away as he used the demon kingʼs roar on them.

*Roar*

Da Xiongmang and the other spirit races were confused for a few seconds before returning to normal, but the fear effect remained within them, even more so when they realized Zhang Feiʼs Hellflame Frost Lotus was close behind them.

”Protect yourselves!” They took out protective artifacts and activated them right away, but Zhang Feiʼs Hellflame Frost Lotus smashed into their barriers directly, burning and freezing them at the same time.

Zhang Fei immediately pulled out the new weapon that Cheng Gaoji and Duan Zhao had created some time ago. He channeled his four elements into it and shot it into their barriers several times in succession.

*Swoosh... Swoosh... Swoosh...*

”What the hell is that?” Da Xiongmang and the other spirit races realized it too late, and Zhang Feiʼs attack penetrated their barriers and shattered them directly. As a result, his Hellflame Frost Lotus moved towards them again before exploding.

*Boom*

”Argh!”

”Help!”

”Save me!”

Zhang Feiʼs dark flames burned some of them, while others began to freeze.

*Zap... Zap... Zap...*

Dozens of dark lightning bolts suddenly descended from the sky and struck those people directly.

”Gahhh!”

”I surrender! I surrender!” Da Xiongmang shouted at Zhang Fei very loudly. ”Please stop attacking us!”

Zhang Fei narrowed his eyes, stretched his hand forward, and the dark flames that burned them instantly disappeared. He also stopped his ice elements from freezing them, but some were already frozen; their high cultivation kept them alive.

Zhang Fei and his three clones surrounded them, and their Hellflame Frost Lotuses were still burning in their hands in case Da Xiongmang and the other spirit races changed their minds and attacked them.

Those people immediately swallowed several pills, including healing pills, to speed up the recovery of their injuries. However, they were shocked as soon as the other six people appeared around them; they immediately recognized Hun Di and Feng Jiu. ”Soul Emperor and Phoenix Empress!”

”Hehe.” Feng Jiu chuckled. ”You guys are foolish and greedy, Xiongmang. All of you already know that the statue belongs to the ten-tailed fox, but you still think about taking it from this kid. Unfortunately, you all have to deal with the wrong person today, and you are lucky that he didnʼt kill you immediately.”

Hun Di then spoke to them. ”Considering our old relationship, I will forgive all of you today, even though you have attacked my disciple.”

”What?” Da Xiongmang and the others exclaimed in shock as they stared at Zhang Fei. ”Is... is this kid really your disciple, Soul Emperor?”

”Do you guys think Iʼm going to talk nonsense?” Hun Di responded with narrowed eyes.

Those people swallowed their saliva. ”Please forgive us, Soul Emperor. We did not know that he was your disciple.”

”Foolish people.” Hun Di replied with a shake of his head. ”Even if he is not my disciple, you should not have attacked him, let alone ganged up on him. What would people say if senior cultivators like you all attacked a junior like him?”

”Thereʼs no need to talk to them much, Master.” Zhang Fei then spoke to them. ”I usually kill my enemies, but since your population is smaller than humans, I spared you and your realm. Moreover, one of your ancestors has given me something valuable, so I will spare you all this once. However, I will not spare you again if you seek trouble with me in the future, and you should already be aware that I have the ability to back up my words.”

”Our ancestors?” Those people looked confused when they heard that.

”I wonʼt say anything.” Mei suddenly reminded him, but Zhang Fei ignored it. ʼWith my current soul power, I will have difficulty controlling them unless my master is willing to help me. Iʼm sure he wonʼt be willing to do that, so I want to see their next move first. If they still seek trouble with me again, I will kill the two giants and force the rest to submit to me.ʼ ”So, whatʼs your decision?”

”We refuse.” Da Feiyue answered Zhang Fei, and she also asked her husband to reject the offer.

Da Xiongmang immediately spoke to Zhang Fei. ”I admit that your strength is indeed extraordinary, but we would rather not follow anyone, and we want to continue living freely in this realm without interfering in outside affairs.”

”Hey—”

”You donʼt need to say anything to them, Senior Sister.” After he stopped Yan Yinqing, Zhang Fei immediately opened three different gates.

The natural races were momentarily surprised to see the three gates, but they knew that it was Zhang Feiʼs ability as a heavenly fox.

Feltia [2] immediately returned to the phoenix realm, and Zhang Fei [5] returned to the Divine Flame Realm to meet Feng Xishui.

”Master.”

”Yeah.” Hun Di led his three disciples, Feng Jiu, Tantai Lingyan, and Wang Yourou, back to the Xianjin Realm, followed by Zhang Xiaolong [3].

After he closed the three gates, Zhang Fei immediately disappeared from the sight of Da Xiongmang and the others. However, he didnʼt immediately leave the realm, and he remained hidden in an invisible state, monitoring them through the map and the demon eyeʼs orb.

”What about our frozen people?” An old male fairy asked Da Xiongmang.

Da Xiongmang looked at the frozen people before releasing a heavy sigh. ”Bring them back first, and we will slowly melt the ice on their bodies.”

After they left, Da Feiyue spoke to her husband again. ”What do you think if we report that kidʼs existence to Tian Baitian and Tian Baixing? He has the darkness element, and those two old foxes will be eager to capture him. This way, we donʼt have to take revenge on him; we let them handle him. Even if Soul Emperor and Phoenix Empress were by his side, they wouldnʼt be able to protect him from those two old foxes.”

”Hmm?” Da Xiongmang thought for a moment before agreeing with his wife. ”All right, we should go back now, and I will contact Tian Baitian to tell him about that kid. I still donʼt understand how he can be so strong, even though his cultivation is still at the 2-Star Heaven Realm. He will be a threat to us if we let him live, so we will use the two old foxes to get rid of him as quickly as possible.”

An evil smile spread across Da Feiyueʼs face, and a glimmer of hatred flashed through her eyes, especially after Zhang Fei and his three clones had humiliated them to such an extent.

As soon as Da Xiongmang and Da Feiyue disappeared, Zhang Fei appeared in the area again. [Master, those two giants are really idiots! You have forgiven them, but they want to report you to Tian Baitian and Tian Baixing.]

”Yeah.” Zhang Fei gave a light nod. ”Unfortunately, they donʼt know the situation in the Heavenly Moon Realm, and Iʼm sure those two old foxes wonʼt dare to leave their realm at this time, especially since Xereth could arrive there at any time. I hope that demon will wreak havoc in their realm, and they wonʼt bother me if their situation gets worse.”

[What are your plans for the two giants?]

”Didnʼt you already know that, Mei?” Zhang Fei immediately entered the training space after that.

.

”What happened to you, Brother?” Tian Baitian immediately told Tian Baixing about the information he had just gotten from Da Xiaongmang. ”I didnʼt expect that kid to have gone to the upper realm, and he also became Hun Diʼs disciple, so Tian Jianxunʼs trip to the middle realms was in vain. Do you want to send our people to the Xianjin Realm?”

Tian Baitan shook his head immediately. ”Xereth will arrive at this realm at any time now, so we donʼt need to bother with that kid for now. Once we get through the danger, I will go to the Xianjin Realm myself to capture him. What about our young generation? Have they fled to that realm?”

”Yes.” Tian Baixing replied with a nod. ”Currently, only the two of us and a few elders are still staying in this realm, so we donʼt need to worry about them. If we canʼt face Xereth, we will immediately flee from this realm.”

Tian Baitan took a deep breath and looked at their realm areas. ”We have lived in this realm since we were born in this universe, and we have always succeeded in repelling the demons who wanted to invade it. However, I did not expect that Xereth would suddenly return with such a powerful force, and I felt helpless for the first time in facing a demon.”

”If the ten-tailed fox hadnʼt planted that seal in our souls, we would have reached the 5-Moon Divine Ascension Realm long ago, and we would have already ascended to that realm.” Tian Baixing wanted to say something else, but they suddenly felt a deadly aura coming from outside their realm. ”Xereth!”

*Boom*

The entire realm shook violently after the powerful explosion, and the elders of the heavenly fox race immediately gathered around Tian Baitan and Tian Baixing. ”What should we do now, Ancestors? Judging from this demonʼs aura, his strength is clearly several times above ours, and we canʼt possibly fight him even if they join together to fight him.”

Instead of responding to the male fox, Tian Baitan and Tian Baixing turned their attention to Xereth, who was standing outside their realm. Moreover, he was not alone, and they saw many demons from several realms joining him to attack their realm.

*Boom*

Once again, the entire area of ​​their realm shook violently because of Xerethʼs attempt to destroy the barrier that protected it.

Tian Baitian clicked his tongue before opening the gate. ”I donʼt want to run away, but Xereth is too strong for us, and he brought an army of demons. We should leave now, and we will return to this realm after the situation calms down.”

Xerethʼs attack shattered the barrier into pieces shortly after they vanished through the gate. The demon immediately appeared at their location, but he turned furious because Tian Baitian and the others ran away. ”Bastard! How could they know about my coming to this realm? Who told them about me? Damn it! I couldnʼt break into the Abyssal Realm, and now Iʼve also failed to capture those two foxes! If they also fail to do their job, Master Taotie will definitely blame me and punish me.”

Soon, three demons wearing royal robes landed by Xerethʼs side. ”Are they running away from us, Lord?”

”Are you blind?” Xereth responded sharply. ”Order your subordinates to destroy this realm! You three, search the nearby realms for those two foxes.”

”Yes, Lord.”

Xereth then contacted his other subordinates to find out the progress of their plans, but he frowned after he couldnʼt contact Long Jiutian. ”Did something happen to that foolish dragon?”
