CHAPTER 847: CHAPTER 857: THE TERRIFYING PRIEST

By the time the Panlong Heavenly Emperor realized he’d been deceived, Chu Feng’s shadow was long gone.

Losing three Second Tribulation Supreme Sword Gods at once, the heart of the Panlong Heavenly Emperor bled. The loss was too great.

In a forest just ten miles away from Dragon Slayer Pass, Chu Feng’s haggard figure emerged. After fully activating the Small Extermination Immortal Sword Formation, and then using the Shadow Escape Technique to flee, his stamina and Sword Essence were completely depleted.

Fleeing ten miles was already his limit.

"Master, you’d better find a place to hide quickly! The pursuit forces will arrive soon." The Demon Eye Evil Spirit King floated behind Chu Feng.

"Can your illusion technique affect a Second Tribulation Supreme Sword God?" Chu Feng pulled out an elixir, tossed it into his mouth, and swallowed hard.

At the same time, he clasped a Spirit Stone in one hand, quickly restoring his depleted Sword Essence.

The effect of the Vermilion Bird Divine Crown was quite good, continuously converting a trickle of the Power of the Sun into Sword Essence, channeling it into Chu Feng’s sword meridians.

"My illusion technique has limited effect on a Second Tribulation Supreme Sword God. As long as the enemy doesn’t get within a hundred meters, it should be fine." The Demon Eye Evil Spirit King was still currently just the Hundred-Eyed Evil Spirit King; if it could advance to Thousand-Eyed.

Dealing with a Supreme Sword God Level expert would be much easier.

Right now, having it deal with a Supreme Sword God Level is a matter of skipping levels to kill the enemy.

"A hundred meters, huh? Then I’ll have to take a gamble!" Chu Feng’s gaze swiftly observed the surrounding terrain and quickly chose a large tree. Like a nimble monkey, he climbed it swiftly.

Just as Chu Feng steadied his posture, a faint white mist blew over, spreading over the treetops of the forest.

He looked down, shocked to find that his body had vanished.

Waving his hand in front of his eyes, he couldn’t see it.

He immediately understood that this mist was a trick of the Demon Eye Evil Spirit King. Since Chu Feng only had Sword God Cultivation, even if he extended his hand to his face, he couldn’t see it.

He tried releasing his Divine Sense to investigate.

If not investigated carefully, it’s challenging to notice any anomalies on the tree.

This mist could obscure not only vision but also Divine Sense. The best part is that the individual cannot sense any abnormalities, as if it’s just a normal mist rising over the forest.

"According to the hexagram, Chu Feng escaped in this direction! Search that nearby forest thoroughly!" An elder in a Priest Robe, holding a Star Plate, commanded a group of experts from the Azure Dragon Heavenly Kingdom to pursue Chu Feng.

This person could actually use the Star Plate supplemented by the hexagram to locate Chu Feng’s escape route, and with great precision.

It demonstrated his exceptional skill.

Chu Feng was inwardly alarmed, developing a murderous intent towards the Priest from the Azure Dragon Heavenly Kingdom.

He always held a reverence for the arts of Feng Shui and I Ching. Such powers are too mysterious, yet genuinely exist.

Back when he was in the Jianyun Dynasty, Chu Feng successfully seized the throne through the modification of Feng Shui.

Also, the Longevity Hall in the Vermilion Bird Imperial City was an Evil House when it was purchased. Later, the Feng Shui was altered, and the Money Tree was used to suppress evil, thus resolving the curse.

Apart from these two incidents, many similar Feng Shui events left a profound impression on Chu Feng.

"Search thoroughly; he’s exhausted his Sword Essence and forcibly used the escape secret technique, he can’t have fled far!" The Panlong Heavenly Emperor, holding a black Heavenly Divine Weapon engraved with mysterious purple patterns, cautiously stepped into the forest.

He was protected by two Supreme Sword Gods, both in front and behind.

There were originally only five Second Tribulation Supreme Sword Gods, and Chu Feng had wiped out three in one go, leaving only two.

The Panlong Heavenly Emperor, startled and fearing a sneak attack from Chu Feng, gathered the remaining two Second Tribulation Supreme Sword Gods for protection.

The task of searching for Chu Feng essentially fell upon thirty Nine-star Sword Gods and the remaining six First Tribulation Supreme Sword Gods. This provided an opportunity for Chu Feng.

Because the Panlong Heavenly Emperor would never personally search the entire forest.

As long as Chu Feng wasn’t desperately unlucky and didn’t end up within a hundred meters of the Panlong Heavenly Emperor, he wouldn’t be discovered.

With a large number of expert enemies entering the forest to search for Chu Feng’s traces,

Chu Feng’s heart was on edge.

Currently, his Sword Essence had only recovered about ten percent.

Due to the enemy’s search in the forest, to avoid generating energy fluctuations and being discovered, Chu Feng had already stored away the Spirit Stone in his Storage Ring.

He was now solely relying on the Vermilion Bird Divine Crown to absorb the Power of the Sun and restore his Sword Essence.

Additionally, the elixir he had swallowed was rapidly absorbing, replenishing Chu Feng’s Sword Essence.

"You all search this direction thoroughly!" The thin and lean Priest pointed in the direction where Chu Feng was hiding.

Chu Feng was greatly alarmed.

This old geezer was too abnormal.

Holding that Star Plate, he accurately locked onto Chu Feng’s hiding spot, like a Daoist catching demons.

If this continued, he would be found out eventually.

Gritting his teeth, Chu Feng decided to act first.

Of course, it wouldn’t be his main body taking action. With only ten percent Sword Essence, exposing his main body now would be like courting death.

"Demon Body, kill that old geezer with the Star Plate!"

Chu Feng’s Demon Body possessed Three-level Corpse King cultivation, making it difficult to kill the Panlong Heavenly Emperor, but it was no problem to kill that Priest.

Sizzle, sizzle!

Suddenly, black smoke rose from the ground beneath the Priest’s feet.

Next, a shadow flashed out.

With a sinister claw, it fiercely reached for the Priest’s chest.

Thud!

The strike was successful and deadly.

The Priest’s heart was extracted alive, his eyes bulged, and the scream stuck in his throat couldn’t escape before life began fading.

The speed of the Demon Body’s attack was so fast that the naked eye couldn’t capture it.

This Priest from the Azure Dragon Heavenly Kingdom, killed by Chu Feng’s Demon Body, likely didn’t even know how he died.

"There it is!"

"Your Majesty, be careful!"

The enemy forces immediately fell into chaos, with shouting erupting all around.

After the Demon Body successfully killed the Priest, it did not linger. It instantly transformed into a bolt of black lightning, dashing into the distance.

The direction it fled was precisely towards Dragon Slayer Pass.

"Not good, that kid intends to make a comeback. If he manages to break through Dragon Slayer Pass, it’ll be difficult for me to kill him again." The Panlong Heavenly Emperor couldn’t discern the truth of Chu Feng’s form.

He thought Chu Feng had used another secret technique, achieving such terrifying speed.

After all, Chu Feng was the Alchemy Venerate, capable of crafting various Advanced Level Talismanic Elixirs.

Some of these talismanic elixirs had miraculous effects, which outsiders could hardly understand.

"Pursue!"

With the command given, the experts from the Azure Dragon Heavenly Kingdom immediately turned to chase after Chu Feng’s Demon Body.

"Your Majesty, could that shadow be someone else? During the attack inside Dragon Slayer Pass, when Chu Feng killed three First-class Divine Generals, it seemed that shadow was also involved," a trusted aide cautioned.

"Regardless, we cannot let Chu Feng escape. Leave a portion of men here to continue searching for Chu Feng’s whereabouts, while the rest chase after that shadow with me. Even if it means going to heaven or earth, we must slay him."

The Panlong Heavenly Emperor was determined to eliminate Chu Feng.
